A War Hero With No Regrets chapter 0

0 – Discharge

Bip. Bip. Bip.

The radar information transmitted in real time from the unmanned surveillance drone did not detect anything. From the sea surface to the end of the last continent.

As the eyes of the people, who had been overly excited, turned towards the stern male figure, the highest ranking officer finally opened his mouth.

“The war…”

It’s over.

“Waaa!!!!”

“Victory for humanity!!!!”

The combat headquarters of the staff was filled with a grand cheer at the same time as that one word.

They hugged each other and were happy, or they cried tears for their comrades who had left first, or they shared warm kisses with each other.

The highest ranking officer looked at their movements with a chuckle, then turned his head towards the man sitting next to him.

“Everything is thanks to you.”

“No, it’s not.”

The man responded briefly.

Although he was not a person who expressed emotions profusely, the highest ranking officer could tell that he was genuinely happy.

Joy, regret, comfort, liberation.

In the one word that mixed all these emotions, the highest ranking officer put his hand on the man’s shoulder and added.

“The honor of the war hero belongs to you, Luterus Edan Sub-Captain. What do you want to do now? Humanity owes you a great debt.”

It was true.

Invincible in a hundred battles. Guardian of defense. Guardian of the empire.

Sub-Captain Luterus, who had been praised with all sorts of adjectives, was in charge of the frontline ‘Graveyard Fortress’ command, which was the bulwark of invincibility.

If Luterus hadn’t been there, humanity would have been unable to stop the attack of ‘Titan’ and would have ended up being wiped out.

Of course, that brilliant achievement and his unique rough personality or incomprehensible behavior that caused low evaluations among his subordinates, could not be separated.

However, it was proven to be the case in the end.

The highest ranking officer promised to support this great war hero as much as he could, even if he had to use all his authority.

Luterus thought about the highest ranking officer’s words for a moment and then opened his mouth.

And it was.

The answer that no one could have expected.

Three days after the victory, Luterus Edan Sub-Captain suddenly announced his retirement from the military.

Although they were unable to say that they had good relations, they were all surprised by the sudden retirement news.

“Suddenly… What does this mean?”

“I’m grateful for having followed the orders of someone like me for so long. I don’t have to carry out any more commands that I can’t understand, and the tedious training will be over.”

“Sub-Captain!”

Without a trace of casualness in the greeting that spanned five years.

“That’s it. This is the end.”
