I Returned as an FFF-Class Witch Doctor

Episode 71

“A recon group, of course.”

Damian scratched the back of his head after confirming that the number tag distributed by the soldiers at Aldeon Fortress belonged to the reconnaissance team.

It was an unfortunate position to be random.

The position for the defense of Fort Aldeon is, as Captain Mikhail said, a total of three troops: Scout Team, Extermination Team, Pioneer Team.

Although their roles were divided into identifying the trends of the monsters, procurement of defense fort materials for an all-out monster invasion, and repairing buildings.

Among them, unlike the Extermination Team and Pioneering Team, which do not show much prominence until the day of the twin moon, the Scout Team had the difficulty of going out of the fortress from time to time to look for monsters outside the boundaries.

The reason for this was the highest mortality rate and mission difficulty of scouts.

The Berthas Plateau, a land of extreme cold and the boundary of the unexplored western region, is a place where it is not strange to die anywhere, anytime, and it is difficult to jump directly on your feet unlike the extinct birds that go to and from the watchtower on the fortress wall.

Moreover…

“Is it number 61? soldier?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Then it’s 6 groups. Are you joining the shadow sword?”

“A shadow sword?”

“It’s called Giorno’s squad. Because he deserves to know one swordsmanship.”

With the fact that the leader of Reconnaissance Team 6 was that Giorno Di Yekachev, Damian instinctively sensed that this mission would not be so easy.

“I’m going to have a hard time waking up. Maybe it’s the last thing you see now.”

“Does that sound like dying?”

“Well, if you have that skill, you won’t die. Because Giorno is a competent superior. However, since ancient times, the 6th reconnaissance group has not had a very high survival rate.”

“aha.”

Giorno di Yekachev was undoubtedly a skilled person who was recognized even among the Night Crows, but at the same time, he was always put in the most dangerous place.

It also contributed to the fact that his ability was not properly displayed because the skills of the members of the team were not good enough to support Giorno.

Of course, the reason for the low survival rate of the reconnaissance team 6 was that Giorno was not the owner of warm blood enough to prioritize their crew over the mission.

“Well, good luck anyway. It wouldn’t be nice to die just because you’re an adventurer in another world. Death is always said to be a terrible experience.”

“It’s not the kind of thing you want to go through many times.”

“That alone is enough.”

Eventually, when Night Crow put his index and middle fingers together and gave a finger salute, the quest window appeared in front of Damian’s eyes.

[Night of Berthas Plateau]

The monsters outside the border are always very bizarre. There are many things that I can’t even guess what kind of life form they came from. But if they have one thing in common… it’s that they have blind hostility towards humans. No, I don’t know if it’s the right expression to call it hostility. A hungry beast has no hostility towards its prey. Rather, it may be closer to appetite.

Classification: General

Description: Follow the scouting team and search outside Aldeon Fortress.

Progress: 0% (0/1)

Precautions: Be very careful as you may be killed by Night Crow if you break away from the ranks or cause discord.

If it was bloody, it was a bloody quest.

“Is that it?”

“I think that’s right, master!”

As Damian moved towards the direction pointed by Night Crow, who was assigning Joe, he saw familiar military tents.

They were the same as the tents in the central plaza that used to distribute the < Night Chaser > sets.

If there is anything else, it is that they are placed on both sides of the main gate of the fortress so that they can sortie at any moment, and that people who appear to be injured are carried on stretchers and come and go from time to time.

“Excuse me, is this the 6th reconnaissance team?”

Seruk!

And as Damian spoke while pulling up the tent of one of them, the attention of the people sitting in the tent immediately turned to Damian.

“What is it? you.”

“ah.”

The woman he had been dating was also with him.

“Looks like you know each other. This is the 6th reconnaissance team.”

“hello~.”

While Hye-eun and Damian were standing there, the rest of the staff greeted them.

There were four users excluding him and her.

A man of the presumed knight class with an impressive massive flanged mace and a man of the archer class carrying a longbow across his back.

After that, there was an Assassin class man who greeted Damian first, and a woman who looked like a mage.

And Damian was able to notice that the composition of the party was not as bad as he thought, looking at the reconnaissance team of six including himself.

‘I’m guessing it wasn’t a fist bump.’

Contrary to the tone that seemed to treat applicants as consumables.

Aldeon Fortress’ troop formation showed a systematic and efficient composition that even Damian could understand without any disagreement.

“Why are you here?”

“Why are you here? They must have come because it’s reconnaissance team 6.”

Although it was a flaw that the arrangement was not quite perfect.

“Looking at the commotion, it seems like everyone has gathered.”

While Damian was responding to Hyeeun’s words, a man with a familiar atmosphere walked in from the other side of the tent.

It was the same Night Crow that kicked Hyeeun the other day.

Even the same Night Crow evaluated him as ‘competent’ and said that his swordsmanship was as stealthy as a shadow, so he was so skilled that he gave him the nickname < Shadow Sword >.

“Let’s formally introduce ourselves. Giorno Di Yekachev, a member of Night Crow and the current leader of Reconnaissance Team 6. I will command as your superior until the day of the twin moon.”

He, too, was a man with whom Damian had an old acquaintance.

“The reconnaissance team’s main mission is to identify the size, direction of movement, combat power, and other notable characteristics of the monsters, with the first priority being to look at the movements of the monsters outside the boundaries. Along the search route operated by Aldeon Fortress, check whether facility equipment is not damaged or whether the built fortifications are in good condition. Depending on the time, you may have to fight monsters outside the borders.”

“It’s not a very difficult operation.”

“Yes. However, the problem is that most of them cannot perform even this simple operation properly in real battle.”

“Ahaha… that… could be.”

As Giorno said, the Assassin class man swept the back of his head embarrassedly.

At first glance, it was harsh enough to make one wonder if he was a personality buster.

Although, there is no Night Crow that is not tense enough to have a warm knock on the battlefield where they have to go back and forth between life and death every day.

Since he was the leader of the reconnaissance team with the lowest survival rate, there would be no need for further explanation.

“Five minutes from current time, we will inspect the defenses west of the fort along Route 7. The total distance is less than 10 kilometers. The commander should be a single military commander, but to be equipped with combat equipment according to individual differences.”

“yes? Five minutes later?”

“Four minutes and fifty-five seconds later.”

And if it was Giorno di Yekachev, the notorious ‘competent’ superior, further explanation would be superfluous.

“Hello everyone, this is Damian. It’s been quite a while since the first live, right? A lot of people watched during the raid on the swamp area, so the number of subscribers to the channel has increased. Thank you again for taking this opportunity. As for today’s broadcast…”

Damian continued to talk to himself as he moved out of the guardhouse under Giorno’s guidance, toward a small dot floating in the air.

It was a personal channel live on Switch, the platform he is active on.

Damian had to turn on live broadcasting for 40 hours a week due to the exclusive contract he signed with Wiz Entertainment.

He had to go through the hard labor (?) of providing video sources to be uploaded to the Otube channel named after him.

It was the reason Damian was making comments like he is now.

– zTakkkeollugz: Teacher, is this too much for you?

– Haresy: Oops, I have to chew on this precious thing

– Anivia is good: I’m coming soon, another instructor hahaha

– It was me who was ruined: Open the door!!! open the door!!!!!

– I’m good at stir-frying pork: Ah haha I almost went back to sleep after hibernation haha

His channel, which became a hot potato with a hot clip on the official community site AOL, has tens of thousands of fixed viewers, and team leader Jeong Seong-hoon’s advice to row when the water comes in. because of.

Since the last Kirikorum Swamp video, I could say that I have been drawing a gradual upward graph that does not decrease.

Moreover, in the face of the company’s full support, Damian’s not broadcasting was tantamount to losing half of his life.

It was not a bad condition considering that the company would take care of the video editing and account management if you provided the source.

However, the specificity of virtual reality and the need to broadcast anytime, anywhere, like now, are annoying for the person concerned.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah, I got a call from the world I live in. It will not interfere with the operation.”

“Is that why you couldn’t understand what he was saying? Adventurers are full of incomprehensible things.”

“haha. It won’t be very interesting to the drivers.”

“One thing is certain. There’s no such thing as a nigga who talks nonsense and doesn’t do the job properly. And those guys are the first to lose their lives.”

“You should be careful. Because I know that life is precious too.”

“I hope you don’t just move your mouth like he said. Of course, if the operation gets in the way, my sword will cut the throat first.”

So Damian shrugged his shoulders at Giorno’s words passing by and turned his head to the live broadcast cam again.

“Have you seen it, everyone? Since a place is a place, I would appreciate it if you could understand it with a broad tolerance even if it interferes with the live broadcast. It’s a bit dangerous here.”

Just like Giorno didn’t understand most of Damian’s words.

Although AC’s system was designed so that NPCs could not find out that the world they lived in was a game.

Even if you can’t understand what the players are saying fundamentally, you know very well that it may be enough to interfere with the mission or operation they are currently performing.

In this way, he had no choice but to show a sharp reaction to Damian.

“He is a non-standard person. To think of doing a broadcast at leisure in a situation like this.”

“aha? The one who would have been stabbed to death if it wasn’t for his family?”

“Are you done talking now?”

“Oh, I forgot one thing. That it would be better for you to maintain a large formation than worry about me right now.”

When Damian chined towards the front, Hye-eun hurriedly turned her head.

It was because it had happened before.

Although Giorno did not directly point it out, it is true that the formation was distorted little by little as Hye-eun delayed.

“What are you doing. Don’t get in formation quickly.”

“this…!”

And soon, the moment Damian added a word to Hye-eun, Hye-eun, who was about to say something with her face blushing, bit her lips and turned her head.

As he said, it was much more important to maintain the formation entrusted to him without difficulty than to focus on other things now.

“It won’t be easy.”

“What are you talking about, master!”

“This mission.”

Damian watched Hye-eun go ahead and moved in line with the formation.

It was the last tail.

According to Giorno’s arrangement, Damian had to watch the rear of the reconnaissance team while accepting the nervousness of Hye-eun, whom he thought he would never encounter.

At the same time, he had to memorize the location of all the camps built by Aldeon Fortress, starting with the boundary magic circles on the west side of the fortress.

It was such a workload (?) that I doubted whether I could handle it alone.

He was also pretending to be Taeyeon, but the difficulty of Berthas Plateau changed from dozens to hundreds of levels from time to time.

Due to an unusual situation happening to the point where the entire staff of the fortress, including the Night Crows, are on edge with their sensitive personalities.

It’s because there was no corner that gradually gnaws away at people’s mental strength and makes them impoverished.

“Don’t fall behind, soldier.”

“yep.”

Before long, Damian spun mana around his body and bounced out at high speed.
