The Main Heroine Likes the Extra

85 – Careless behavior.

Goblins aren’t that strong.

It’s more troublesome than an ordinary monster, such as knowing how to use tools and taming and riding monsters, but its physical abilities are not high.

At least at the age of a young man who can use his strength, he can defeat goblins without any problems.

The problem is that there are dozens of goblins in one lair, and that lair is a monster that gathers to form a colony.

If it’s a distant hunting unit or scouting unit, it doesn’t matter if you subjugate it normally, but if you’re raiding and subjugating the colony, the story is different.

At least a hundred goblins, at most hundreds of goblins.

No matter how weak they are, if they gather that much, they’ll be an annoyance.

That’s why Rex Balthor, the platoon leader of the 13th platoon of the 1st Holy Knights, acted cautiously when he discovered the goblin’s lair.

Now that he found the lair, he had to investigate how many other lairs were around and how many goblins were in each lair.

“James, Phil. You two should each lead a squad to search the area thoroughly. And Randy’s squad to inform the other platoons and main forces in the area.”

At the command of Rex’s platoon commander, the designated men moved in unison.

Rex Valtor was a seasoned and experienced middle-aged knight even within the 1st Order of the Holy Knights.

Obviously, even Alma, the leader, listened to Zex’s opinion.

No one questioned his judgment and acted faithfully.

“The remaining members will burrow in this spot and watch the lair.”

We couldn’t attack the goblin lair until a thorough investigation was completed.

If there are more goblins than expected, you need to prepare accordingly and attack.

If the number of groups wasn’t small, the current number of people would be sufficient.

Rex Platoon leader looked around the members undercover and looked at a young man.

Alan Ludwig, a new apprentice knight of the age of a boy.

Although he is still young, he has impressed several officers of the Order with his excellent physical abilities and reflexes in his training.

Well, compared to his excellent physical abilities and reflexes, he lacked technical skills, so he often lost in sparring with experienced knights.

Even so, if he received repeated training and gained experience, he expected that he would be able to surpass the level of a first-class knight.

Maybe it was because he was young, but his personality couldn’t be said to be that good.

He didn’t know how to bend his own thoughts, and he caused a lot of problems, such as suddenly taking action or forcing his thoughts on those around him.

Because of that, he was isolated not only among apprentice knights of the same rank within the order, but also among regular members of the order.

‘It must be because I’m still young. At times like this, shouldn’t we lead him as an adult?’

Rex thought so and approached him.

Alan Ludwig looked up at Rex’s platoon commander.

“Platoon commander.”

“Are you nervous?”

Alan shook his head at Rex’s platoon leader’s words.

“No, I’ve dealt with goblins.”

“I see, you said you were from the academy, right?”

“Yes. It was only for a short while.”

He dropped out of the academy without even completing the first semester, but he didn’t bother to mention it.

As he was expelled from the kingdom for committing a crime, he is not confident enough to say that.

“That’s right, but practice and actual combat are different. Don’t be too conceited and get hurt.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Well, as long as you follow the boss’s instructions exactly, there won’t be any big problems.”

Saying that, the platoon commander Rex slaps Alan on the back and leaves.

For him, subjugating the goblin hideout was a familiar mission he had done many times.

Among those countless missions, I also did several missions with new recruits like Alan.

And those new recruits were currently active even after leaving their ranks, having accumulated their own experience.

Alan Ludwig was just one of them, he thought.

“Platoon leader, the goblins have started moving.”

“Did you notice this side?”

“No, maybe it just went out on the perimeter.”

Returning to his seat, Rex received a report from his subordinate.

Hearing the report from his subordinate, Platoon Leader Rex looked at the goblin den in the distance.

It was clear that three or four goblins were standing at the entrance of the lair, guarding the surroundings, just as the subordinate had said.

“Instruct each squad to quietly burrow and wait.”

“Four!”

The words of the platoon leader were passed on to each squad leader and from the squad leader to the squad members.

The squad leader of Alan’s squad, Captain Rowen, also conveyed the current order to his squad members.

Their location was the closest to the goblin lair, so they needed to be more careful.

“Kill signs without being seen, quietly observe.”

“Squad leader, don’t they seem to have noticed us yet?”

At the words of the squad member, Captain Rowen secretly looked at the goblin.

They are wary of their surroundings, but they haven’t noticed them yet.

In fact, the place where they hid is difficult to notice, and the body odor was completely erased using magic potion.

“Yes, but unless you know their size, you shouldn’t strike first.”

“I know.”

As he listened to the conversation between the squad leader and his squadmates, Alan Ludwig thought.

There are four goblins over there.

All of them are weak guys who don’t wear proper equipment.

Aren’t you saying it’s dangerous for them to call their comrades?

In that case, you just have to kill them before calling allies.

If you can get rid of them quickly and organize them, you won’t have to strain yourself to set up boundaries.

I conveyed that idea to the squad members, but the squad members had different opinions.

“What kind of bullsh*t are you talking about?”

“Alan, stop talking nonsense and follow the platoon commander’s orders.”

The squad members refused Alan’s words with a single word, and went into a state of alert.

Cowards.

Alan harbored a feeling of contempt in his heart that they were afraid.

With those four goblins, he could slash them in seconds.

Alan looked back at the goblins.

It’s easy. If that’s the case…

Alan kicked the spot with his sword.

I heard the squad members say something behind me, but I ignored it.

Just like that, I cut off the head of a goblin.

“Keeck!”

The goblin died with a gasping sound.

And using that momentum, I tore the next goblin apart, and drove the blade into the chest of the goblin next to it.

‘What, it’s not a big deal after all.’

Thought so, the moment Alan looked back to cut down the last goblin.

“Keee!!”

The one remaining goblin screamed loudly for the forest to leave.

Among the many goblins that formed the village, the goblins that came out of the border came out, especially those with good voices.

The moment they find an enemy, they don’t need anything and start screaming. It was Alan’s bitter mistake for not knowing that.

“Keee!!”

“Keek! Kkeek!”

“Kreureuk!!!”

The moment Alan, startled by the scream, hesitated, he heard the screams of numerous goblins nearby, as if responding to him.

There were not one or two goblin dens.

“Your careless actions resulted in many minor injuries and injuries. Platoon commander Rex was seriously injured while protecting the new recruits.”

“……”

“Of course, at the time, the platoon commander Rex defended you, saying that he was wrong for not giving you all the knowledge about goblins in advance, so it was only a light punishment.”

“…Yes.”

Of course, no matter how much the platoon leader Rex protected him, it was a mistake that was hard to escape from a big punishment.

But at the time, Alan Ludwig was behind her cardinals, and because of that, her vice-captain, Priest Remia, also advised her to be patient.

I felt like I was about to turn upside down, but I gave him a light punishment and passed on.

“But you can’t stand that bird and have another accident?”

Alma burst into exasperation.

Alan Ludwig, who had suffered such an accident, was out of sight of his platoon members and was being bullied without realizing it.

In such a situation, he thought he had a fight with one of his fellow knights, so he half-killed him.

“……”

Alan said nothing.

It would be more accurate to say that he didn’t.

After the goblin eradication operation, he was aware that he had made a big mistake, so he kept quiet.

He endured even when the platoon members he was with at the time cursed and criticized him, because he knew that he was wrong.

‘Hey, that sucks. You said you came here because you were kicked out of the academy?’

‘What? Is that really it?’

‘Yeah, it’s rumored that he was stalking this asshole’s crush on an aristocratic woman and kicked her out and got kicked out after trying to run over her in the eye?’

‘Ha, this bastard is a paladin.

While the rumors were a bit distorted, they were mostly true.

It is true that at the time her eyes were turned upside down and she tried to attack Riel, and it is also true that she became a criminal and was kicked out because of that.

So the moment I was about to pass it off without saying anything, he kept talking.

‘Ha, do you think something like you will catch my eye, nobleman?’

‘Yeah, it’s been decided that aristocratic women get along well with aristocratic men’

‘Well, aren’t you forgetting a guy like you by now and having a hot time doing everything you have to do?’

The moment I heard those words, Riel and Kyo Wentos came to my mind.

When he himself was banished from the kingdom, he asked Archbishop Marconi to see Namariel from afar one last time, riding in her carriage.

After he was told never to leave the carriage, he saw it as he ran to the Aurum Dormitory.

Riel clings tightly to Kyo Wentos’ arm and smiles happily.

That happy and lovely face she had never shown herself.

It was as if he was laughing at himself, so he almost jumped out of the carriage, but Archbishop Marconi desperately stopped him.

Since that was the last time she saw Riel, the words of her classmates who quarreled with her pushed her even more.

Alan, blown away by reason, rushed at his classmates and brandished his fists.

He beat up even the comrades who rushed to stop him, and while he was beating the comrades to death, he was subdued by the captain who was called.

And now this is the situation.

“Starting today, you will no longer be an apprentice knight of the 1st Order of the Holy Knights.”

“……”

“Adjutant.”

“Yes!”

At Alma’s call, the adjutant quickly approached.

“Send him to number four.”

“…Yes? But he’s a cardinal…”

“Those who can’t even do the basics are not needed in the 1st Order of the Holy Knights.”

Alan Ludwig was kicked out of the 1st Holy Knights, said to be the most honorable among the Holy Knights, on that day.

The place he was sent to is the Knights Order, which is called the 4th among the Holy Knights, and cannot be proudly called a Knights Order.

The fourth unit that gathers problem children in one place, trains them harshly, and eats them. It was a punishment unit.
