“Report.”
A deeply subdued tone. Dark green eyes that seemed to flicker on fire. A giant with silver gray hair.
Commander-in-Chief Reinhardt. In response to his question, the leaders of the regular punitive squad gathered here began to report one word at a time.
“Captain. Materials are in a slight shortage.”
“Commander. The deputy commander keeps burdening the brigade members.”
From reports of simple supplies to accusations against incompetent superiors.
Contrary to the report he always heard, Reinhardt’s head moved at the report of Lyla of the 3rd Subjugation Team.
“Captain. I found a Count-Class Cyclops. You’re about to wake up. Since the captain has arrived, I request that all captains be summoned immediately.”
muscular woman. Reinhardt asked back at Laila’s words as she scratched the scar on her neck.
“Did you say Cyclops?”
“And another one. There is one outstanding guy in the 1777th plane that came in this time. It’s so good that it’s even suspicious.”
Human sacrifice so cruel that even Reinhardt, who had been in the monster border for a long time, would find it disgusting, and a false report from a missing scout that was nothing more than a ghost story.
In addition to the suspiciously outstanding crew, even the Count-class monsters that had not even been observed for a long time.
Contrary to his appearance of being in his early 40s thanks to the accumulation of many auras, Reinhardt, who had worked for people for quite a long time here, narrowed his eyes in a strange feeling.
It’s been a similar daily life for decades, so we periodically conduct large-scale subjugation to prevent monster waves from occurring, spread small-scale subjugation to the surrounding borders, catch monsters, sell them, and maintain them.
As more and more people siphon off not so much subsidies from the middle, they go to the capital to let them know that they are still alive and subjugate again and again.
However, lately, slightly different things have been happening one by one.
change.
Reinhardt was not happy with the future it would bring. Any changes that would occur on this desolate frontier were always close to bad things.
“Raise the beacon and signal the quick return of the punitive force. From now on, with the exception of the 12th Subjugation Squad, the returning subjugation team will wait without proceeding with subjugation requests. and.”
Dark gray eyes shone sharply.
“Did you say it was 1777? Bring the child to me. right now.”

Even if they were the same jockeys, no one had really seen Kane’s skills unless they went out together, no, even if they went out together.
Maybe that’s why he had many enemies.
Even in the hellish run where he endlessly ran in a circle until only one person remained to know the limit of his physical strength, even at the moment when the last motive other than Kane collapsed from vomiting and muscle spasms, Kane was only sweating.
Even in the sparring where the winner split the side and continued to fight, Kane made an all-kill, and the children who were in the same group as Kane constantly praised his strength.
that’s what people are If it’s not something you’ve seen or experienced, you can’t believe it, and rather try to verify it again.
From noble mtl dot com.
Because common sense exists in the world. There is a common sense limit to the strength a person who seems to have just become an adult can have.
‘And normal people call them idiots.’
Jay, who became Kane’s caller on duty for the crime of going to subjugation once, rubbed his face with both hands.
“Did you kill him?”
“no.”
Jay sighed at Kane, who hadn’t splattered a single drop of blood, and motioned for him to come.
“The Commander-in-Chief is calling. Follow me.”
No matter how they did it, Jay pretended not to know those who had fallen on the floor without a sound of pain and moved with Kane.
There is no up or down temper on the topic that makes people think there must be a reason even if they sell out the country.
It’s not a perfect army, but it’s clear that even a regular punitive squad can be punished for extreme injuries, but they’re not afraid.
Even so, there was only one reason why Kane was still able to remain here.
because it is so strong
‘Absolutely Kane must not fall for this subjugation of Cyclops.’
Please let Captain Reinhard drive Kane into a stake!
The moment Jay prayed inwardly and raised his hand to knock on the door of Reinhardt’s office, Kane grabbed Jay’s wrist.
“I don’t think I’ll need any guidance after this.”
A belated goosebumps.
That faint momentum emanating from beyond the door. Kane opened the door and entered while Jay took a step back from the discomfort as if he was being scanned and analyzed.
kiik-
As if subjugating monsters was more important than spending time on repairing the outpost, the door slowly closed with a sound coming from the hinges that had not been oiled.
The only passage of light in the room is the window with no curtains and no candles lit.
Waiting there was a tall man sitting with his back to the window and a woman standing slantingly beside him lifting up her slightly spilled glasses.
Facing the dark green eyes staring at him clearly, Kane saluted according to the etiquette.
“The 1777th flag bearer… … .”
“You bastard, what is your true identity?”
Reinhardt opened his mouth before Kane could introduce himself according to the etiquette of the punitive squad.
It was Reinhardt who had been seen by tens of thousands of people at this border.
Even if they were kicked out of their family or kicked out after being punished, from the strength of the blood lineage tradition passed down through their lineage, or to those who had a low birth status but became strong only with their own power.
Out of all those countless people, did someone this strong exist at this age? It is clear that he is below him right now, but how strong will he become if this strong man passes just 10 years from now?
It blooms so early that it might be at its peak right now, but what if that’s not the case?
And what is the reason for such a strong and young man to be here?
‘Even if I try not to doubt it, I can’t help it.’
Like Reinhardt, he came only for the purpose of protecting humans, so it was not his eyes that were shouting.
“It looks like you’re asking with the answer already decided.”
At Kane’s words, Reinhardt opened his mouth again.
“The person next to me is a person with a trait that can hide the truth from the lies. Answer a few questions and I’ll listen to you.”
“Do you agree? I can only use traits with the consent of the other person.”
Kane smiled at Reinhardt, who looked like he would cut his throat if he showed a suspicious look.
“Let’s get started.”
* * *
“So what is the conclusion?”
Kane answered through the siren to the question I asked while biting into the apple.
＜Since you have passed all the verifications, you will participate in the subjugation of Cyclops.＞
Well, even if verification was added to verification, Kane would be suspicious, but at a time like this, he wouldn’t be able to throw it out.
I assure you, Kane’s power at this border will be within five fingers, if not less.
Even though it’s a national job, it’s literally a subjugation team. It is not a knights who systematically train and roll with oath and pride for ten years, but except for a few people who gave up money and power in the first place and gathered purely in the spirit of service, they were more like hired mercenaries with an oath of confidentiality.
So while there are quite a few moderately strong people, there are few exceptionally strong people.
I said everything when I saw Reinhardt, the commander-in-chief, running around to subjugate even a slightly higher level monster.
But Cyclops has appeared, and he throws Kane out saying it’s a bit suspicious?
‘There’s no way.’
Even if you ask for dispatch to the imperial royal family, it is obvious that you will be rubbing your butt heavily until right before reaching the border ground anyway.
After the conversation with Kane, Luna and Zero enter while clearing the apple core.
“young master. The subjugation request you’ve been waiting for has appeared.”
“What was he waiting for?”
It seems that Rachel looked at me and Luna with sparkling eyes instead of yawning, and the things she went through with me these days were fun.
“Adelian. The request to subjugate Cyclops has been officially accepted. Participation is voluntary, but it is an official notice that all mercenaries who do not participate must retreat from the border Gavioren.”
If the subjugation fails, it’s obvious that this area will become a mess, so those who don’t participate at all are withdrawn.
‘As expected, those who are called heroes seem to be different.’
If it were me, I would have been forced into conscription. I don’t know how far Cyclops will go if this is penetrated.
Well, since there is a part that is strong enough, he must have sacrificed himself to stop it.
―Manager, would you like to go out?
“Cyclops? Are we going to participate again?”
Rachel clacks her fists and wakes up cheerfully. I put on the robe Leaf gave me and smiled slowly.
“attend? If I said no, they would stop me by grabbing me by the crotch of my pants.”
I sighed and walked out the door.
* * *
“I can’t.”
“What do you mean?”
It’s buzzing.
I sat loose and laughed, pretending not to notice Reinhardt’s momentum.
I put in an application to subjugate Cyclops, but it was immediately rejected because my identity had been exposed for a long time, but what can I do?
I already have a free subjugation participation certificate stamped by the deputy commander.
So, if the heir of the Kruger family died in the subjugation of the Cyclops, even if the business grew, it would become too big, so in order to refuse it, you had to be at least a second-in-command or higher.
That’s why I’m facing Reinhardt now.
Alkaido said that he would block it as much as possible before it went into Caiman’s ears, so now is a great opportunity.
If this work is done properly, there will be no need to work too hard for the time being.
I pretended not to know and looked at Reinhardt with a smile.
“This is no child’s play. I have no intention of accepting anyone who interrupts mere curiosity.”
“I’m serious. My party is strong, so it will definitely help.”
Those who seemed to be the leader of the subjugation standing behind Reinhardt frowned at my taunting words.
“this… … !”
Someone couldn’t stand it and wanted to say something, but Reinhardt raised one hand as if to block it and opened his mouth again.
“Tell me how many times. I have no intention of accepting your participation.”
“No, they say it would be better if you hit even one piece of paper. Why are you so refusing?”
When I said this with a smirk, Reinhardt’s eyebrows narrowed slightly.
“That ring is the ring of the head of the Kruger family. That means Adelian Guardian Kruger now. It must mean that your status is acting head of household.”
“however?”
“If such a person is killed here, the damage will only be suffered by the people the Kruger family feeds.”
I turned the Kruger ring with a charring sound.
I said it a long time ago. I thought the acting concept I was aiming for was an idiot, but it turns out that I am a talented person? It’s like this.
“Commander Reinhardt. You can’t take me out.”
I glanced at Rachel, who was standing like my escort, wearing a neat martial uniform like the one from the meeting not long ago, instead of the old martial uniform she usually wore.
“Rachel, who is the strongest individual among those who are not regular members of the subjugation team, too.”
Then, I took out the contracts for Vincent, Rayren, and Kicho, who were supposed to come under me for a month, out of my arms and shook them.
“Vincent, Rayren, and Kicho, who are the most powerful and strong among the groups, too.”
I arrogantly sat down with my legs crossed and smiled.
“Even Kane.”
it’s all in my grasp
“Can you get rid of me like this?”
