I Try To Enjoy My Life But This Woman Keep Calling Me Villain-Chapter 154: Continue the Journey

After the fight, the people of Burab start to celebrate while butchering the monster’s part. While looking at it from this place, I notice not only soldiers who are fighting but also adventurers in the city. There are more than fifty of them; without them, the right side of the wall will be overrun by monsters.

They are a bunch of idiot people who charge into battle without hearing the plan. They are the bunch of people who I need to focus on in the entire battle because they are always in the thick of battle.

They are a great help, but it is still not saying that the lord of this place is not careless or stupid. Leaving only three hundred men to defend against a place where many monsters are coming is a no-no.

I shake my head, take the wine a young woman offers me, and give her a small smile. I take a sip of the wine and enjoy the cool breeze of the desert night.

"Thank you so much for helping us."

I look to the side and see Saman walking toward me with a glass of wine. I smile at him and say.

"It is not a problem. We need to unite against a bigger threat, that is the monsters."

"If only all people had a way of thinking like that. We will have a great time."

"Yeah. Sadly, we cannot put our differences aside and keep fighting against each other. Maybe one day all of us can unite and put aside our differences to fight against the main threat, the monsters."

"What a beautiful future."

The two of us stay silent for a minute while watching the stars before he looks at me and says.

"What are you going to do from now on, my lord?"

"Me? We will continue our journey to Rezghi County."

"I see. Then I can only pray that there will be no problem on your way and you arrive safe and sound, my lord."

"Thank you."

After saying that, Saman gets up and pats my back before walking away from me. A few seconds later, Silva and Hilda sat next to me.

"Oh? Where are you guys?"

"I’m eating the date the merchant offered. It is sweet and delicious."

"I take a look at the equipment the soldiers and adventurers use. I even managed to buy a few of them."

I look at the device Hilda is holding and nod. I want to buy one myself later, but it looks like I did not need to do it. I take one of the devices and feel a flow of mana from this device. I stop the urge to dismantle it and look at Hilda.

"Can I take one?"

"Of course. I bought four of them so you can dismantle one of them. I know you, Gwyn. You like to learn something new, after all. Anyway, can you store them for me? I want to test them when we arrive."

I blush a little and nod. I take the four devices from Hilda and store them inside my pocket dimension. After storing them, the three of us enjoy the cool night and watch the sky full of stars.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Saman."

"No thank you is needed, my lord. It is my pleasure to have you and your companion in this city. We are the ones blessed by your presence."

"Haaa... You don’t need to kiss my ass like that, Saman."

"Hahahahaha! But I’m just speaking the truth."

I can only sigh as he continues.

"Anyway, have a pleasant journey, my lord. May the gods smile upon you and bless you."

"Thank you, Saman."

After saying that, our camel train continued our journey north. We decided to go early in the morning because the sun is not too hot for us. Not only that, but after the monster wave that is happening, the monster in the desert will be a little bit more docile than before.

That is what happens when you kill an Alpha-type monster, a massive monster that leads the other monsters in the monster wave. So it is safer and also cooler than departing after the sun is out.

"Captain, how much longer will it take to get to Rezghi County?"

"If we are in a rush and there is no monster in our way, we can get to the nearby village before the sun goes down."

"Hmmm, can we go a bit faster? We have to buy more water and food in Burab City, right? As much as I like looking at sand, my other companion does not."

I know that the other person did not like traveling in the desert and did not complain much because I enjoyed it. I don’t like making others uncomfortable just because of me.

"Of course, my lord." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Thank you, captain."

"Don’t worry, my lord. It is just a small request. At least you ask us politely and not order us around like some people."

After he says that, the captain releases a loud whistle, and the camel stops. I can see the captain take out his gear and put them into the camel carrying light baggage. I can also see the other soldiers do the same. They then get on the camel, and we are moving faster than before.

|3rd POV|

Benham Rezghi looks at the letter in his hand and smiles a little.

"What is it, dear?"

He looks at his wife and says.

"It is from Burab City. The letter is from Saman, the steward of Burab City. It is said that Grandmaster Gwyndolin is already departing from Burab City before the sun goes up."

"That means he will arrive in our territory just before the sun goes down."

"Or even faster. Depending on the monsters and bandits. However, we can rest assured no monster will attack them."

"Oh? Why? We do a regular sweep, but even we cannot predict the monsters, after all."

"And here comes the bad news, or at least it was bad news."

"What is it?"

"Burab City experiences a Monster Wave and manages to defeat it with the combination of three hundred soldiers, fifty-eight adventurers, and Grandmaster Gwyndolin and his companion, including the soldiers sent by the king. The monster will not appear because they are in their docile situation unless there is another Alpha Monster coming; there should not be a problem."

Anahita looks at her husband for a second before saying.

"Let’s back up a bit. Did you say only three hundred men are defending that city? The trade city of Burab?"

"Yes. You already know that man brought with him a large number of soldiers to her son’s wedding."

"I know that showing off is important in the noble world, but this is too much. Among the many oasis cities in this kingdom, Burab City is known as the most attacked city by monsters. They need at least five hundred or even six hundred people to man that wall."

"I know, dear. But we cannot do anything about it. It is not our city, after all."

"Urgh. You are right."

Anahita sits next to Benham and releases a sigh.

"At least Grandmaster Gwyndolin is not offended by the lack of lords in that city. Please tell me he is not offended..."

"Of course not. Grandmaster Gwyndolin even helps the people by healing them while fighting the wave of monsters."

"Good. We owe that man everything."

Anahita put her hand on her stomach with a smile on her face. In the past week, Benham and Anahita have been trying their best to get a descendant, and their wish is granted after Gwyn heals them.

As priests and nuns of the God of Life, Birth, and Sun, they can detect if there is life in someone’s womb. They can detect if someone is carrying a baby as early as one week pregnant.

Anahita is already checking her pregnancy, and it comes positive. When she gets this information, Benham makes a city-scale party for the entire day. He spent a lot of money on this party.

"What we do, dear."

"It is good that we already cleaned the traitor out of this mansion because I don’t want Grandmaster Gwyndolin and our future child to see that much blood."

At the mention of the traitor, Benham snarls a little and says.

"That we do. I never thought there would be that many traitors in our castle."

Benham and his wife kill more than twenty servants in the castle and capture and kill more than thirty spies in the city. All of them came from the Bulkon Empire, where they decided to weaken the Rezghi County bordering that empire.

"It is a shame that we cannot get them all at once."

"Ah, it is my bad, dear. I’m too angry to think and quickly make a bold move. Now they are staying in the shadows, and our search gets even slower."

"Oh, well. We cannot do anything about it because I’m also too angry to think straight and use the shadow and knife tactic. There is only one thing we need to prepare for."

"Hmmm? What is it?"

Anahita takes out a picture of someone and says,

"This."

"Ah, that man..."
