“I-I’m leaving this subjugation. Do you have any romance about dog death, do you?”
His thick mustache quivered.
Reinhardt opened his mouth, numbly watching the deputy commander’s voluptuous stomach and chin vibrate.
“If you’ve been in that position up until now, shouldn’t you be responsible for the position you’re in?”
“What are you talking about! Do you know who wanted to be in such a remote area? You, too, should stop weighing and pack your things right away. If you leave it alone for a little while, the imperial family will send a punitive force, do you think so?”
will have to send After all of this area is in ruins, commoners who fled for fear of the tyranny of the nobles and taxes are killed in droves, and a few unlucky small territories are swept away.
Only then will the subjugation begin after receiving all the things to be received in the territory that is likely to be swept away next in the middle of the hip.
After that, they’ll squeeze people in again to make up for the money they paid to the royal family.
Reinhardt let out a low breath at the vividly drawn future.
“I’m going through the gate right now. I’m giving up my second-in-command position. I will return my position and finish it in the capital, so let me know!”
Deputy Commander Hummer hurriedly fetches a gold ink bottle and a crystal glass with his body dripping with sweat every time he moves, even in this remote area.
Reinhardt gnashed his teeth and spoke slowly, holding him by the collar.
“No, Hummer, you can’t do that. Since the situation is already on par with the war, we even collected magic stones to use for the gate operation.”
“What, what? What are you talking about!”
Reinhardt threw him to the floor as if tossing him at the sight of Hummer spitting and dropping his cheek meat.
The awakening of the slumbering Cyclops is now counted down.
From noble mtl dot com.
They even discussed assassinating Cyclops by selecting only the strong, but if they fail due to lack of strength, the aftermath would be unimaginable.
In addition, in a place where death is expected from anyone’s point of view, it’s not that I haven’t thought about gathering the magic stones left in the advance base and evacuating those living nearby to the gate. There were also insufficient resources to do so.
Gates were monsters that ate mana to the extent that even if they used all the magic stones they had accumulated while subjugating monsters, it would not be enough to move all the people.
In that case, wouldn’t it be better to invest all the people and resources to catch Cyclops or do big damage to buy time?
As Reinhardt stretched out his hand to Hummer’s face, where black ink was splattered over his well-dressed clothes, Hummer crouched down and closed his eyes tightly.
“So hum. You now have to pay the price for consuming the supplies brought by the blood of the crew in this barren place.”
Even if you can’t light the fire by burning the body, shouldn’t you keep your seat until the fire goes out?
Reinhardt, who clenched his greasy chin and cheeks with one hand, glared at him with a scratchy voice.
“If you want to live, pray. May this place not collapse.”
commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief. And the authority that only the 12 subjugation leader had. At least one person must remain before the mana barrier on this outpost activates until the last moment.
All 12 captains, including Reinhardt himself, will walk out of the line, so he will not go even if he is told to run away, and will stay with him.

aaagh!
At first, it was Cyclops who seemed like he would wake up and wave his huge hand at any moment, so it was only for a while that Familiar No. 8 was frightened and cried from afar.
A day passed, two days passed, night and day changed several times, but this stupid, smelly, gigantic monster didn’t even think about getting up.
Thanks to that, Familiar #1 knocked her head against the floor several times, and as if the glossy down feathers had worn off, the crown of Familiar #8 seemed a little hollow.
Caw! mow! aaagh!
After crying so loudly, my voice, which seemed to be clogged up at first, has now become roaring, and I also found out how to contain it with a sound that is not half air and half sound.
Now, without fear, he put his head inside the Cyclops’ ear hole and spread his beak wide open, shouting. It was worthwhile.
Paddak-
“Creuk… … .”
I hear a bird flying somewhere.
Cyclops rolled his eyes like grains of sand with his eyelids still closed, his eyes still open.
I was able to sleep for the next 2-3 years thanks to putting a lot of monsters in my stomach before going to sleep, but when I woke up little by little to the sound of birds chirping in my sleep, I woke up earlier than I thought.
Hungry, but not starving. I could go to sleep without eating for a few more years.
Aww!
That annoying crow.
Quarreuk-
A hill trembled and soared into the sky.
The dust mixed with the wind spread in all directions like waves, and small trees and stones fell to the ground as if they were collapsing, and the small animals sitting on them began to run away in a panic.
The red soil inside was exposed as if the space where the high and low hills were connected was scooped out with a shovel, and a crouching Cyclops rubbed a huge eye with the back of its hand before opening its mouth wide.
As the giant mouth opened, as if it could eat quite a few monsters in one bite, the roots of the tree tangled like beards on its chin snapped with a crackling sound.
“Okay… … .”
I wasn’t hungry until I woke up, but when I moved, I felt that the energy I had accumulated before falling asleep was rapidly being consumed.
I threw all the guys who were rubbing their butts in my area before sleeping into my stomach, and there were only small animals nearby that wouldn’t even bother me.
However, to go further inside or to the side, I felt a similar energy to myself.
“Kreuk. Crush!”
Even after the things that were boiling in the past fell asleep for a long time and raised their bodies, the superiority and inferiority of their powers are not completely divided.
It’s still like that. This time, if you eat a lot of things and gather strength, it was the timing to become the strongest among them.
The only problem is that there are only normal animals with no mana around here.
Aww!
that cry again.
A long cry of a crow passes by and quickly flies somewhere.
And the vitality faintly felt at the end.
“Creek, cluck.”
Humans, humans. The leather is soft and the bones are not strong, but the mana is not bad, so if you eat all of them and grow your strength, you will be able to become the best in this mountain range.
I lifted my heavy ass. The crouching soil is crushed between your feet, leaving huge footprints.
Breaking the tree that brushed against the bridge, the Cyclops began to move south.
* * *
“Move quickly! Gather all the supplies!”
“You crazy bastard, do you think the horse won’t run away and hold on? Put it in the bag!”
The sound of whales and whales shouting echoes here and there.
It seems that they have been busy setting up traps between this place and the hills for several days and moving supplies and weapons.
Unlike Kicho and Rayren, who came to ask about the contract with a bitter face, Vincent led his entire group and entered the base early.
“Bocchan, I went to the village for a while, but the atmosphere isn’t very good.”
“I guess so. In the first place, people who wanted to run away sent an official notice to run away.”
Still, I hope you come here. Luna said that even if it was a super-large monster that she had only heard about, the regular subjugation team would take it down, and that most of those who remained were Luna.
“I’m not sure why it stays.”
Rachel scratched her head and opened her mouth at Zero’s insinuating words, as if feeling a little worried about powerless ordinary people.
“What is it? It must be because there is nowhere else to go.”
In the yard like this, there is no place to sell a bar or a cottage, so where can you go and do something?
How many of those gathered at the border of monsters had no story? Most of the people who ran away or were chased by something came to this remote village and lived there licking each other like wounded dogs.
The same goes for mercenaries. Most of them say that they came to make a lot of money, but the reason they came to this remote area instead of a big place like a labyrinth city is because each person has one in their heart.
So, even if he came and went with a bitter expression, if he was really going to run away, he would have hesitated at my words that he would let him go without talking about compensation and just go back.
Soon, a battle with a huge monster may feel like fate to some, unrealistic to others, and like a passing shower to others.
However, the anxiety underlying it was like an epidemic, making even me, who has a floating trait, feel subtle.
The strength of Cyclops was short-lived in the original work, just like a flashback.
At that time, Reinhardt became a broken hero and built a barrier with tenacity not to repeat it again.
The important thing was this part. Even when Kane wasn’t there, he blocked Reinhardt even at the cost of being destroyed.
therefore. so.
I was believing This time, knowing ahead of time, I had time to gather power and sharpen my weapons.
I believe I can stop it. And most importantly, no one in our party should die.
‘That’s the most important thing.’
＜Comes.＞
Charr.
I turned Kruger’s ring like a habit, and Kane’s voice stuck in my mind.
“What is it, the mass is moving.”
And at the same time, Rachel rolls around in bed and wakes up.
I heard the sound of people rushing outside at the sound of a bell ringing somewhere.
“Gather!”
“Baby, see you alive!”
– Manager.
“I know what you mean. Luna, Zero. let’s go.”
“young master. You can never get hurt. Don’t forget your promise.”
“Am I a child?”
laughed playfully I was, paradoxically, the safest because I was the weakest of them all.
＜There must be a random coordinate scroll.＞
“Yes, I brushed Lefit. But do you know?”
That I don’t write that on my own.
As soon as I open the door and leave, someone runs past my shoulder with a tense face.
I looked at Zero and Leaf, who pulled my body slightly back, and then went ahead.
“See you later.”
I waved my hand lightly. Anyway, monsters don’t come in waves, but one cyclops pushing down, so it’s right to put all your energy into it.
In my heart, I wanted to attach the Aegis to Luna’s side, but I put up with it, fearing that I would be tied up with a rope or something and hidden somewhere in the basement of the base.
After tying Luna, Zero, Leaf, and Rachel all together with Kane and putting them in a separate unit, I sat down at the command post using my status and incompetence as an excuse.
Even those who objected at first accepted me by crying and eating mustard when I asked if I had any information to sell here.
“See you soon. Commander-in-Chief.”
There’s no way I’ll be kicked out now, so let’s bow first and say hello without a fight, and the woman standing behind Reinhardt flinches.
“Do you have any intention of leaving right now?”
“What are you saying funny? If this subjugation ends well, I will leave then, so if I crack down on people until then, who will remember if I was here?”
There must be someone in the Kruger family who is trying to get even a piece of cake by rubbing my current situation, but even that is nothing but nothing thanks to Reinhardt’s blockade of the gate.
So, if I raise the level of Kane here and keep that man from being broken, I won’t have to stay any longer.
“If I followed the rules of this place one by one, it wouldn’t be a problem to leave you behind. You don’t have to do that now.”
What does it matter that one more drop of the blood of a noble person permeates the ground when everyone is in danger of dying?
I followed Reinhardt, who shook his head as if there was no point in arguing with me and went outside.
