Starting My New Life As An Adventurer
Refugee camps

Gerah, how crowded are the people in the village hall now. All residents were evacuated at the village hall. Food and shelter are provided. But other than that we had to queue for hours just to take a shower.we had to sleep in a straight and narrow row. A lot of people are already grumbling even though this is still the first day. Many children cry because they are uncomfortable with this condition. The village officials were completely overwhelmed to distribute our food three times a day.

"Hey system, did those goblins appear by themselves from the forest?"

I think the goblin type of appearance is a random spawn in the forest like in some RPG games

"No, other than the spirits of all beings nothing appears suddenly like that." System answer.

Honestly, I hate this situation. Grandpa and Erika asked all the residents to stay at the village hall within a week. I have also heard from other citizens that grandfather decided to cooperate with the bandits.

At the moment the clock is already pointing to the number twelve midday, the hottest point of the whole day. Many more people grumbled and some more started to protest.

"Woi! What was Eugene the military chief doing! Why can't we go home!"  Out of nowhere came a half-drunk man pulling the collar of a guard officer and shouting in front of him.

"Sir, please take care of your attitude. Stay in your evacuation camp until this is all over." The officer replied with a slightly frightened face.

....

Elsewhere Margaret and grandfather came to the headquarters of the bandits with the promised money.

"Here it is, three hundred gold pieces as agreed." Margaret put down a crate full of gold pieces.

"Hey you, count it." Vaustine sent a man while sitting on the throne of bandits like a king.

"Everything fits three hundred bosses." One of Vaustine's men reported to him.

"Advance in accordance with the agreement. All right, let's get him a blood contract." Grandfather immediately spoke without a stale ado.

"Well, you need a blood contract. I feel offended. As if I can't be trusted." Vaustine.

"Stop joking! No one wants to believe you. If you don't intend to betray then this blood contract will have no effect. But if you break the contract then you'll die."

"That's creepy, I got goosebumps scared hehe." Vaustine simply replied disparagingly.

"Just whatever, you want to contract blood or whatever it is."

"Give me a drop of your blood. Put it in this cup." Grandpa gave her a cup made of glass.

Joseph pricked his finger and dripped his blood into the cup, grandfather also did the same after that.

"The contract is the same as we talked about during the meeting, if one of us breaks this contract then this offender will die. Joseph Vaustine, do you accept this contract with your life guarantee."

"Hmm yeah it's up to me to agree."

A black spot began to be etched on the left hand of grandfather and Vaustine. Like a chain-shaped tattoo that surrounds their left hand.

"Well done, don't forget to immediately take your men to the Northern border. I'm going to the village hall. Meet Eugene. He's in control of this war." Grandfather then left the bandit headquarters with his treasurer.

....

Currently on the Northern border, eugene was still leading the defense forces.heard every report and devised all the strategies within his tent.

"How are the activity reports in the forest?"  Eugene asked one of his soldiers.

"There's no sign of an attack any time soon captain." The soldier answered.

*Drap drap, the sound of the foot of a horse approaching Eugene's tent.

"Captain captain! Five hundred bandits and Joseph Vaustine have arrived!" Another soldier ran into Eugene's tent reporting.

"Direct them to the tent for them. And also call Vaustine to my tent.I want to discuss with him." Eugene ordered his soldiers.

All the bandit troops were directed towards their respective posts. Joseph soon arrives at Eugene's tent alone.

"It's so arrogant of you, commander-in-chief. You didn't say hello to us when you first arrived." Joseph went into Eugene's tent.

" Don't make me laugh, don't think you'll be treated with respect as if you're a royal troop." Eugene answered with his face down.

" Oh yeah, that's enough base. I came to exchange information with your troops."

Joseph immediately ended their quarrel which if continued would violate the contract he made.

Eugene then took a breath, and allowed Joseph to sit at the strategy table together with him.

" How far do you know about this attack?" Joseph asked her.

" Not much while patrolling the forest My troops only saw a few goblins that might also be assigned as eye-eyes. There's only been a little fight this past one day." Eugene answered.

" It's been a long time since your work, my men said they'd attack in three days. They're pretty sure about that."

"Well! How can you predict the arrival of goblins!" Eugene doesn't believe it and hits his desk.

"My men were watching the goblins all the way to their base. They're gathering food. You know, it's not easy feeding three thousand greedy goblins."

"Calculating the large number of them and the preparation time required for my men, I am sure that the assault will be at least three days away. What about your troops, are you ready for three more days?"

" My army is always ready at any time. But I didn't expect that you bandits have such abilities." Eugene was a little amazed.

" Huh, that's nothing. Decades of living in the forest and we can now predict the weather ten days ahead."

" This is useful information, Mr. Rondo has already told me about your blood contract so I guess I can hold your word. I'm sure you also remember that the contents of the contract you have to take that goblin seriously."

" Haha, whatever you say. Then I'm leaving. There's nothing we can talk about." Joseph stood up and prepared to leave

"Wait Vaustine!" Eugene.

"Huh?" Vaustine looked back.

"I was just warning you. Whatever it is that cunning plan you're planning to throw it all away because if it happens then I'll kill you."

Eugene looked into his eyes firmly.

"Boring..." Joseph left her without answering her words.

....

Move to another place. By the time grandfather had reached the village hall, he greeted the villagers he met and headed to his room.

"So Erika, what's the condition of the refugee camp now?" Grandpa asked while sitting on his desk.

Erika's face shriveled and after taking a breath she told him.

"Lack of good Mr. Rondo, at this time I see there are already some residents who complain. Plus there's been a rumor that our village is working with bandits to drive goblins away, which makes some residents unhappy and criticizes our decision."

"As I thought it couldn't be hidden. Erika please endure the upheaval of the citizens for as long as you can. We at the Northern border will also with all our might resolve this as soon as possible."

"Good Mr. Rondo."

Currently, in an uncomfortable condition in the village hall. The ungrateful citizens and the uproar that was soon to come. Everyone is prepared for the worst.
