Courtyard Wind Chapter 7: Partnering and Cooperation

Then, when the little girl was called out, she panicked a little, and her big round eyes widened, and after a moment of silence, her mood calmed down a little, and she began to speak quietly.

"My name is Avia, a member of the Hamill Army of the Adventurers' Guild, and after hearing the rumors of the monster outbreak, I was on guard on the outskirts of Cereda with ten members."

When Avia spoke, the impression of a weak woman in the past became that of a veteran.

"So you were attacked on the road?"

Alice didn't seem to care about the change, and urged Avia to continue, while Avia continued with a blank face.

"No, to be precise, I intended to set it up from our side, but by the time we realized it, it seemed to have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and we were advancing overwhelmingly at first."

"But the number of monsters is getting bigger and bigger, and as time goes by more than I expected, I start to get tired and gradually get overwhelmed, but so far it's not bad, but after defeating the monsters to some extent, I decided to take a break,."

"Yes, I went to sit down and rest a little farther away, and while I was there, I suddenly encountered a group of goblins, and my companions who completely let their guard down were killed."

"yes, that's a shame."

As if attracted by Alice's last words, Avia's face contorted, but as if she suddenly remembered, she turned to him and bowed her head deeply.

"Lord Tingfeng, I'm grateful that you saved me this time, but what I'm really curious about is what the black weapon you used in battle was?"

Until now, people have only looked at the gun with a suspicious look.

But when you see the battle, it changes.

And Alice, in fact, should have seen it, although it was far away, but as she said, she didn't mention it.

But now she is also interested in it, and looking at this gun, her heart is moved.

"Ah, you mean that? To put it simply, this weapon is to shoot something like a small iron ball to kill enemies, and the size of the hand is suitable for melee, and this long one is suitable for defeating enemies at a distance...... Is that so? ”

From the perspective of the people of this world, there is nothing wrong with that.

But the inhabitants of this world seemed to be satisfied with this explanation, and Alice and Avia both seemed to understand and nodded.

Personally, he didn't think it could convey that, so he was nervous.

Listening to his explanation, Avia seemed more interested and wanted to touch the gun, but he naturally politely refused, fearing that such an impact would cause the phenomenon of bullets being fired, resulting in injury or death.

Avia then pursed her lips and groaned, but he didn't care, instead asking Alice what she was worried about.

"You say there are a lot of monsters, but to what extent?"

"I've heard that there are dozens of monsters, but it seems like there are actually more."

"If I have a weapon, I should be able to handle it."

Of course, he has no combat experience, but in fact, he has accumulated a lot of real combat experience before.

And there are modern weapons, and the heart is very steady.

"Then you can go over together, and you're already acquainted, right?"

"What!?" ”

Suddenly, Alice naturally recommended that he and Avia fight as a pair, and when he heard this, he and Avia looked at each other and made an incredible sound.

“…… What about Avia, don't you want to? ”

“…… No, but with that weapon, it's much better. ”

Avia looked thoughtful for a moment, but then she began to agree with Alice, with a smug look on her face.

"However, I don't know how Lord Tingfeng ......"

"Ah, I'm okay with that."

"Then I'll contact you then......"

Before she could finish speaking, Avia lowered her head, her cheeks flushing for some reason.

"Uh-huh, then I see."

With that, Alice walked in the direction of the hotel.

He followed with a blank face.

There wasn't much going on in my mind.

Evia followed him, and along the way, Avia behaved like a girl her age.

When I arrived at the inn, I went to the restaurant to eat first, each ordered something to fill my stomach, and then ate silently, without speaking or making eye contact.

After eating, she continued to follow.

Before you know it, there is darkness and silence outside, and the reddish moon illuminates some parts of the sky, only those places are faintly lit.

Entering the room, the two people who entered the room sat awkwardly in their seats, not facing each other.

Avia began to wipe the sword with a cloth, and when he looked at it from the side, the polished blade glowed with an indescribably mysterious glow in the moonlight outside the window.

On the other hand, Tingfeng took the P226 out of the holster, pulled out the magazine, checked the chamber, and the soot inside the barrel was removed by a piece of cloth attached to the barrel.

While Avia just kept wiping the blade with a cloth, he was constantly doing new things, such as unloading bullets, simple maintenance, and so on, so that he could concentrate and think only about himself.

Avia, who was not so, gradually became frustrated with this situation,

Suddenly, for some reason, Avia stopped her actions, slowly stood up, and suddenly quietly pointed the tip of her sword at Tingfeng.

Sensing the threat, he naturally quickly picked up P226 and aimed it at the person who was emitting non-killing intent.

The two of them looked at each other, and they both froze, like stone statues.

Unable to stand the situation, he quietly lowered the muzzle of the gun and gently placed the gun on a nearby table.

With a satisfied look on her face, Evia tucked the sword aimed at her into the scabbard at her waist.

"I apologize for suddenly pointing a sword at you."

"Is that so? I also aimed the weapon at you, so I don't feel the need to apologize. ”

The two were silent for a moment, and Avia suddenly flipped in and unbuttoned her coat, and then climbed into the bed to rest.

Evia, who had been nervous until she couldn't do it, fell asleep on the bed like a doll with a broken thread.

Tingfeng fell asleep when he saw it.

The next morning, as if nothing had happened, they got up and started getting dressed.

Soon after waking up, someone knocked softly on the door, and when they heard the sound, they were stunned for a moment, who was it?

When asked, it was an employee.

Still, he was a little worried, so he tucked P226 into his pants and timidly opened the door.

There, a young woman dressed as if she was cooking waited for two men with a large tray of soup and bread.

He took the thing carefully, and the woman who took it quickly left the place after saying her business.

He placed the breakfast he received on the table in the middle of the room, pulled a chair close to him, and began to eat face to face.

When he woke up, he was so hungry that he quickly put the rice he had brought into his stomach.

Seeing Tingfeng like this, she had a smile on her face, and she didn't know if there was anything funny.

Unlike yesterday, the two calmly finished their meal and immediately prepared their gear and prepared to go next.

After the preparations were completed, Tingfeng and Evia left the hotel and headed for the Adventurers' Guild, as he wanted to hear from Alice about the crusade against monsters.

When Tingfeng arrived at the guild, the guild was already crowded with many adventurers.

Out of curiosity, I asked the adventurers nearby.

It seems that the large-scale outbreak of monsters and the destruction of Avia's group yesterday have become widely known, and the adventurers have rushed over after hearing about it.

Some of them aim to get rich quick, while others conspire to make huge profits as fishermen.

While making his way through such a crowded guild, he was stopped by someone behind.

"Good morning! Courtyard wind! ”

It was Alice, who seemed to be in a good mood, patted him on the shoulder as soon as she got closer, patted him on the shoulder and smiled.

"Oh, good morning! By the way, are all the people here going to be together? ”

"Yes! I gathered as many people as I could, thinking that with these people, I would be able to defeat them in less than half a day! ”

After hearing that Alice broke up with them yesterday, she went straight to the tavern and started gathering people.

According to Alice, the strategy is to travel to the forest west of Sereda and destroy all the monsters that come across.

It's a worrying strategy at first hearing, but if there are a lot of people, you can help each other no matter what happens, and you should be fine.

He and Avia planned to use this strategy to get involved, but with his existing firearms, there was a chance of misshooting, so he decided to operate from a distance.

When Alice heard this, she was stunned for a moment,

And then there was no then.

He and Avia left the town and went straight to the forest to the west, originally, after that, food, water and other needed things needed to be purchased at the town's shop, which can be replenished through system summoning, so there is no problem.

He had already told Avia about it, so there wasn't any confusion, and of course, she was surprised when Tingfeng told Avia about it.

Leaving the town, in about a few dozen minutes, they arrived at their destination - the forest.

Sporadic sounds and sounds of battle can be heard, presumably because the crusade has already begun.

Before entering the forest, insert the P226's magazine, pull the slide to send the first bullet, and reload the SIG716 in the same way.

After loading the bullets, use the primary weapon SIG716 to move on.

Guided by it, Avia drew her sword and followed him.

The forest used to be about twice the size of what it is now, but most of it was reclaimed for towns and farmsteads.

There are also fruits, and it seems that it is possible to fish in the river that runs through the center of the forest.

Recently, however, monsters that did not exist while cultivating the land have begun to inhabit the area from somewhere, and it seems that there have also been incidents where attacks such as these have resulted in the death of many people.

Perhaps because of this, the forests that humans have been tending to have become desolate, and now trees and grasses grow as they please.

Just through the forest, about 100m away from them, in a small clearing in the forest.

Ugly dwarven-like creatures gathered with ugly screams, each of these goblins holding something like a stick.

There are tattered daggers, hoes, short spears, bows, etc., but there seems to be no concept of armor, and the body is all tattered pieces of cloth, just worn.

It didn't look like the goblins they had first encountered, and at the center of the group was a large individual, most likely the leader of the group.

The surrounding goblins also hold a circular shield-like device in their other hand.

Once found, he signaled Evia with a pre-arranged gesture and began to move as planned.

Avia hid behind her right and waited so as not to get into his line of fire.

Seeing this, Tingfeng set his eyes on the head of the leader Goblin and turned the selector.

The safety device safely switches to semi-automatic.

Then he quietly put his finger on the trigger and slowly applied force.

A 7.62 mm x 51 NATO shell was fired with a bang and heavy shoulder recoil, piercing the goblin leader's head.

The shock wave of the piercing bullet threw the contents of the head flying, and the body that lost its head collapsed weakly.

However, the goblins, who couldn't understand the situation, were just stunned.

Tingfeng stared at it coldly for a moment, but immediately aimed the scope at the head of the next target and fired a bullet.

The goblin that was hit had a large blowhole, which was already small, so it was blown away.

The goblins, who had once again noticed the explosion and the death of their comrades, finally sensed the enemy's attack and began to move in the direction of the sound while raising an unpleasant strange sound.

He is impatient and frightened by the goblins, who are enraged by the killing of their leader and companions.

But even so, he is still within the range where he can attack them unilaterally, so take advantage of his advantage and reduce the number of enemies.

However, no matter how much he shot, there were more goblins out of nowhere than when he first spotted the guys nearby.
