"......I don't care wherever you want to go or what you plan to do."

Barrister said, raising his hands, still tied with hemp ropes.

"I only care about when you let me go."

"I hold the sword, and I am not your opponent without any empty hand, so I have given up and will no longer have any malicious intentions towards your property."

"And there seems to be nothing valuable except the sword on your waist and the armor on your body."

"So I won't make any more ideas about you. As long as you let me go, I will leave immediately and will not come back to cause trouble for you. How about it?"

"What are you talking about?"

Roche, who was lying on the ground, cast a puzzled look at Barrister.

"Didn't I just say it? Now it's time to rest and go to bed, and I'm going to rush to the road tomorrow."

"You have to go to Tuli with me."

"Ha? Why?!"

Barrister roared.

"Stop kidding! I won't go to Tuli!"

"I want to go home!"

"You plan to complete your mission and go by yourself!"

"I have no interest in your mission that sounds great!"

"I just want to go home!"

Roche listened quietly to Barrister's roar.

After Barrister finished speaking, Roche's mouth raised slightly, showing a meaningful smile.

"...You are my prisoner now, right?"

"Since it's a prisoner - what I should deal with you is my freedom, right?"

Barrister was speechless when he heard Roche's words.

"As long as you follow me to Tuli, I will let you go after you arrive in Tuli."

"Not only will you be given up, but you will also give you some money and buy you a carriage to help you get home."

"You don't have the right to refuse. Just follow me obediently."

"... Can you tell me, what is the purpose of you forcing me to pull me to Tuli?"

"Just add yourself an insurance."

"Insurance?"

"I'm the only one left now. If I have something, I can't pass the news that "Orleans is still holding on" to Tuli."

“So I let as many people as I can.”

"If I have anything, let my companions take over my mission and continue to go to Tuli, and deliver the news that "Orleans is still holding on" to the central government."

Hearing this, Barrister understood what Roche meant.

"In other words - you want me to be your companion and follow you to Tuli. When you have no way to go to Tuli, I will take over your mission and continue to Tuli. Is that what does it mean?"

"That's right, I'm a soldier who has been a soldier and has heard of military orders. My understanding ability is indeed good."

"Oh!"

Barrister sneered, then whispered in an undisguised tone of mocking:

"Don't be stupid! If you die, I will run away immediately! No matter what your mission is!"

Roche frowned slightly.

"Can the news that 'Orleans is still holding on' be delivered to the central government - it even concerns the survival of this country, so..."

Before Roche could finish his words, he was interrupted roughly by Barrister:

"Orleans fell, Tuli fell, this country fell - I don't care about these messy things!"

"Anyway, for someone like me who is an ordinary farmer, it would be the same if anyone rides on us!"

"Anyway, no matter whether the emperor of the Rolling Empire is riding on our heads or the emperor of the Britannia Empire is riding on our heads, our lives will not change much!"

"You still have to farm every day! You have to pay taxes every year!"

"If the Emperor of the Britannian Empire came to rule us, the tax I had to pay would be less every year, and I would rather welcome the Emperor of the Britannian Empire to rule us!"

"Don't talk to me about these big reasons! I don't care what will happen to this country!"

"I just want to go home now!"

"If you insist on dragging me to Tuli - whatever you want!"

"Anyway, if you die halfway, I will leave your body and go home immediately!"

After saying that, Barrister seemed to be unwilling to speak to Roche again, turned his body, lay down, and lay on the ground, leaving only Roche with a back.

Roche opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't come up with the right words.

I could only sigh and lay my head back on the dead wood that was used as a pillow.

At the same time, he clenched the hemp rope in his hand and the long sword in his arms.

The hemp rope in his hand directly connects Barrister's hands, which are tightly tied with the hemp rope, to prevent Barrister from escaping.

As for what the long sword in my arms is used for, there is no need to say anything.

......

......

The next day.

As soon as the sunlight burst out from the horizon, Roche opened his eyes and woke Barrister up.

After each of them drank a few sips of water, they embarked on a journey to Tuli.

"I said..." Barrister said angrily, "Do you have nothing to eat?"

"No."

Roche said bluntly.

"The little bit of dry food I carried was lost in the battle where I broke out from the encirclement of the Britannian army."

"So I told you to finish the pheasant with gratitude last night."

"Hold on a little bit, you might encounter an outdoor tavern that specializes in bards and businessmen's business along the way."

Barrister sighed lightly:

"Forget it if there is no food!"

He raised his hands, still tied tightly with hemp ropes.

"But can I help me untie my hands? My hands are tied up and I won't talk about the inconvenience of movement. I'll keep tying like this, and my hands hurt very much."

Roche held the sword on his left waist with his left hand, and held the hemp rope connecting Barrister's hands tightly with his right hand.

Like a dog, he kept walking forward.

"Didn't you tell me last night--if I die, you'll run away immediately and run back home?"

Roche smiled meaningfully while raising the hemp rope on his right hand.

"So that's the case - you may also slip away whenever you have the chance, right?"

"So I have to take you a little tighter."

"If I don't tie your hands like this and don't keep holding you, I'll feel very uneasy."

"By the way - don't want to regain your freedom by violent means."

"My sword has always been in a state where it can be unsheathed at any time."

"Even if I go to bed, I will keep paying attention to the movements around me."

"So don't think you can force yourself to regain your freedom."

Barrist roared in a helpless and indignant tone:

"I understand! I understand!"

"Go quickly!"
