『Military signal officer Yuel sends this message to all units deployed near Amittengrad.』
The voice that echoed in the vicinity of Amittengrad was hard and dry, resembling a military state.
The voices emitted by one, only one, were transmitted to nearby units riding on dozens of golems that were in sync with her.
Capital National Guard Map, Military Police Map, Supply and Guard Force Map. I stopped what I was doing and quietly listened to the voice from the communication golem.
『At this point, four entities with level 5 risk are rapidly approaching the military capital. We are heading in a straight line from the northeast, and the estimated time of arrival is about 2 hours later.”
Amittengrad, the military capital, has a communications facility. And signalmen are always on standby in case the heavy and prominent communication facility is damaged for some reason. I'm sure there's at least one, but I don't know how many more. Because it's confidential.
Anyway, since it was an order from the military center, all units held their breath and waited for the next words.
『Cannot be stopped by normal units of level 3 or lower. Level 4 units are capable of delayed operations, but no actual damage. It is estimated that at least a level 5 unit and two generals are required for an effective suppression operation.”
However, due to the calm evaluation of the signalists, the nearby units had no choice but to hold their breath.
A level 5 troop and 2 generals. This combination is a counter-war force. It means that when you have to fight a country or have an elite among the elite to take out, you can effectively subdue these four.
Even effective suppression does not necessarily mean that allies do less damage.
How many will die in this little war?
“However, their violence is extremely low. So far, there have been no deaths in the battle, and it is expected that the casualties will be minor or non-existent even if the person is absent. For this reason, we believe that avoidance of engagement is reasonable. We issue an order to actively avoid engagement to all units near Amittengrad.”
Some were relieved to say that they would not harm civilians, while others frowned.
Relief that I don't have to fight with such a strong man.
Still, he's a soldier, but he complains about whether he can even give up his capital.
In any case, the strong people don't live forever, so if you treat them appropriately, they won't be extinguished.
However, the objection is that the face is absurd if we leave the country trespassing.
If you are twisted, you will disobey orders and shout to go out and fight.
If it was really normal, he would sacrifice his life to punish the intruder, but he rationalizes himself by saying that he will look after him because of the order.
“The vigilante units that are expected to reach the movement route are evaded directly. Bring all your gear and head to Supply Base-3. The Capital Defense Force issues evacuation orders to all except the Defense Command.”
In any case, you must obey orders. The officers immediately urged the soldiers to pack up and gather their equipment.
To actively avoid engagement.
But no one in the military knew.
The four of them, who were trying to actively evade combat, had already entered the interior of Amittengrad in the dark.
Among the vampires, the high-ranking ones deal with darkness and can swim in thick shadows.
Far above the tallest building in Amittengrad. A bright red and sinister twin star looked down on the military capital.
“… Was this the royal capital of the military?”
Amittengrad, who had heard that it was the capital of the military, was too far from the thoughts of Tirkanzaka.
There is no majestic royal castle built with wealth gathered from all directions. The huge wall that covered the city long did not exist in Amittengrad either.
Instead, Amittengrad seemed to crush its foes with only its size, like a crouching giant dragon.
For density and warmth, the residence is unconditionally stacked on two floors.
Faint street lamps lined up between the square cut blocks.
In some places, even in the darkest darkness, it emits light like a lighthouse.
Countless people were walking the streets like corpses even at night.
After the sun had completely set to the west, it was dusk and a shadow covered the sky in a quiet night. Tirkanzaka, who floated alone and gazed at the panoramic view of Amittengrad, murmured.
“… It's very big. It is as if dozens of cities are connected to each other. Even though it is small enough that a human looks like an ant, the city is almost invisible. Saying that there are countless people… Now I know a little bit.”
Shay, who was floating around with the wind wrapped around her body, answered.
“First of all, it is the city with the most people in the military. Almost one million people… .”
“How do you find Hugh among all those people?”
“Yeah, that’s what I was curious about. don't worry. Because there is a way.”
It was impossible even for Shay to filter out just one of the so many people who filled the city. But Shay was a regressor, and he had a way or two to prepare for this.
“There are three ways to find people in the military.”
Saying so, Shay was going to explain the three things one by one. However, Tirkanzaka said without even the slightest thought.
“I want to write it all down.”
“no. That’s unrealistic.”
“If you write a letter with your right arm, your left arm doesn’t stop, so why can’t you write with your right hand even though there are three ways? If it’s a means that can’t be used in the first place, why put it on the list?”
I tried to explain a little bit about this country by listing the options, but Shay, who was suddenly given a discipline, answered a little shaky.
“For now, the first thing is to tell the military to come find him. The military is a player in finding its own citizens. the problem is… .”
“good night. Let’s go.”
Tirkanzaka happily waved her finger as if it had nothing to do with the problem. The huge coffin floating in the air began to move forward through the darkness and shadows.
Shai hurriedly moved Chen Aeng and followed behind him.
“… no! You should also listen to the problem! There is no way the military will listen to us properly!”
“If we find them, they will move too. If they listen to our demands, that's fine.”
“What if the military tries to take the hostage?”
“they?”
Tirkanjaka smiled timidly.
“Is there anything like that? Those who did not fight because we were afraid, would they hold him to the point of conflict with us? Unless you want the country to burn.”
Tirkanjaka accurately pinpointed the intention of a country called a military state.
She was born as the daughter of a poor lawmaker, but after being reborn as the progenitor, she led tens of thousands of troops alone and reigned as absolute power. Even in the kingdom of her own, she knelt before her and swore her allegiance, and she inadvertently entered politics.
“Active avoidance of engagement. That's a really great package. Whatever the packaging, we don't want to focus our energy on us, who have no particular hostility. Then there is no reason not to use them.”
While muttering like that, a figure was reflected in Tirkanjaka's eyes as he looked down.
The king of dogs walking along the streets of military government as if it were my home's courtyard.
Tirkanjaka narrowed her eyes and muttered.
“Anyway, even if it’s not me, I will have to negotiate with the military.”
Not the founder, but the king of dogs and horses.
Sector 1, Capital Defense Headquarters.
An intruder appeared at their headquarters, where they were sitting at the headquarters, splitting their troops, and scattered them all over the place.
The sentry was unaware of the intruder. Because the intruder came in too proudly, her attire was too foreign, and at the same time there was no hostility.
The intruder, who walked proudly through the gate, saw the first human he encountered and immediately started talking.
“human. Call your king.”
At that moment, Major Riktos of the Capital Defense Headquarters blinked his eyes.
It was in full swing right now because the introduction order came down. He is already dissatisfied with the fact that running away is what he is proud of wearing the badge of rank, but a prisoner girl suddenly approaches with her tail waving vigorously and makes a strange request.
“what? How did you get here?”
Suin replied.
“Call your king.”
“This is a security facility. Get off right now.”
“Call your king.”
“If you don’t leave immediately, I will attack you!”
“Call your king.”
Seeing the beast repeating the same thing over and over even if it was a parrot, Major Riktos, who had run out of patience, pulled out his sword and aimed at Aji.
“The warning is over! I will kill you!”
thud. He took a step and swung his sword. The concrete floor cracked just by stepping on his foot. He pulled the ground at once with the Gonggi Gong, and slashed the sword as if splitting firewood. The sound of the wind blowing was terrifying.
close.
The sound of iron crushing its teeth was several times more terrifying than that.
Major Riktos staggered back at the shock that nearly broke his wrist. He gripped his trembling body and looked down at his beloved sword. Above his handle, the sword's blade was half gone.
Not the teeth, but traces of the teeth. When Major Riktos' eyes widened in surprise.
“Call your king.”
At that moment, Major Riktos saw the beast girl in front of him again.
A girl with her ears and tail upright against the dark moon and the full moon in the background. Her eyes were friendly, but there was an unknown authority and dignity.
Like a kind king who cares for his people… .
Major Rictos, who helped to overthrow the kingdom and create an army, clenched his teeth with a sense of rejection.
“We have no king, beast. Unlike you.”
A single word uttered to provoke the opponent with the meaning of contempt for the beast.
However, the beast girl nodded and accepted the word.
“King, mayor, mayor, maripgan, chairman, monarch, lord, emperor, general. The name doesn't matter. me, just I need to meet with your representative.”
If you are the representative of the Defense Headquarters, then the Defense Commander General Buidun. He was one of the great stars of the military, who had a strong military force and made major strides across several battlefields.
But this is a relatively safe capital city. Although his qigong is as strong as that of other generals, he is by no means the sixth general.
If that girl does harm to the captain… .
The command center is destroyed.
“Are you going to open the way for an intruder like you?!”
Major Riktos shouted, with a blood stick around his neck. This was a desperate determination, but it was also a signal to those who were watching the situation from behind.
Rictos prayed in his heart. Please, hoping someone will understand what you mean.
Paradoxically, it was the beast girl who recognized the meaning of his words first.
The beast girl drooped her tail and replied sadly.
“You don’t like talking to me.”
It is definitive and at the same time true.
Riktos hated monsters that cut flying blades, even swords with qigong, with their teeth. The fact that it was a beast only caused more fear and disgust.
The girl saw him sending her fear and disgust. She felt the horror in his eyes. She also knew that she was the one who created the fear.
It's sad, but I can't help it.
that it is human.
“Still, you have to keep your promise.”
“I do not know the promise! Don’t be silly, if you want to meet someone, go through the proper procedures!”
Of course, Riktos had no intention of letting him meet even if he had to go through the procedure, and he had no authority to do so. He was just trying to pass the time by using the procedure as an excuse.
And Major Riktos' efforts were rewarded.
“You managed the time well, Major Riktos!”
Another voice was heard. Rictos and the Beast Girl raised their heads at the same time. At the main entrance to the headquarters building, the one-star general with a mustache twitched and raised his arms.
“Your efforts were not in vain! Thanks to you, we are ready too!”
Following his beckoning, heavily armed forces descended from all over the defense headquarters.
That's a captain, that's a major. Each soldier is at least a lieutenant-level officer, and a lieutenant-level officer is also common.
Just as they were about to follow the evacuation order, they had all their armaments and weapons packed.
Even excluding the troops that had already departed, the elite number of officers alone reached 200. Considering that rooks below a certain level will only be a hindrance, it is the maximum power that can be gathered in the capital right now.
“All troops!”
chuck.
The officers in unison put the generals into the packet.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
A huge iron plate splits like scales and rises. A blue alchemy light was formed through the cracks in the chain and iron pieces aligned along Aki Avatar. Steel interlocked and scales covered the body, and officers were transformed into warriors in full armor.
Sword, spear, gun, axe. Officers with weapons that matched their qigong and wearing no gaps in armor approached slowly. Cool qigong swirls in the blade.
Some were hesitant to ask while wearing military uniforms.
“for a moment! An introduction order hasn't come down! We must not oppose them!”
“There is no other way than to have already caught up. Are you going to leave the commander here like this?”
The general shouted, glaring at Aji again.
“Disarm now and surrender!”
In the meantime, the girl who was gazing at the general.
“… Not enough.”
As the deputy commander of the Defense Headquarters, he shook his head even when he saw the single-star shining general.
assertive and assertive.
“You are not qualified. can't represent Not even the shards, your king.”
Who can say that a general in the military is not qualified? A 4th-level citizen, he has many soldiers under his command, and he is a strong man who uses qigong that has achieved strength.
An angry general shouted at the attitude that seemed to ignore him.
“We are a military nation born to overthrow the royal family! There is no such thing as a king! If you are looking for a king, go to another country!”
At that, Aji shook her head.
A gleam of light shone in her gently curved eyes. It wasn't a star in the night sky, but a number of weapons with sharp edges. Various weapons that harbor a ferocious light and hide the murderous intent beneath them.
got used to He would use the dog king in exchange for making promises to the dog king and not keeping them. But the dog king has always been betrayed.
The former king and the present Aji are different individuals, but their existence as a king has been inherited. Also, how meaningless a promise becomes in the face of danger.
still.
“King, you don’t have to. You can be a general. If only you had the right to face me. Even if some of them are qualified to represent humans.”
Still, Aji had to find a person or group to fulfill the promise.
Because you need a shepherd to defeat a wolf.
“Come in front of me and remember your promise.”
A black dot appeared on Aji's forehead.
The general was bewildered. I thought someone had shot her in the forehead.
But once to the fact that no gunshots are heard.
Again, the fact that the spots on Aji's forehead are gradually growing.
that this is not a gunshot.
In the beginning, I realized that this phenomenon itself was not common.
Crackle, wiggle.
The sound of scraping and digging through the space with a sharp carving knife was heard. As the sound gradually grew louder, a black crack appeared along the forehead line of Aji. The rifts were twisted and merged to form a single shape.
Someone muttered when they saw the figure.
“… Crown?”
As he said, a crown that looked like it was made by weaving the stems of plants was born out of nothingness.
It started on Aji's forehead and continued all the way to the back of his head. As if growing by encroaching on the space itself, the crown made a crackling sound and rotated Aji’s head half a turn. And he stopped without going any further.
“I kept my promise. I waited in the abyss.”
Aji tilted her head. As a result, the crown, floating in space a span of his head, moved along Aji's head.
Without any support, like an angel's ring that proves its own identity.
It was then that the general remembered the existence of the opponent.
“… A prophecy from the king of dogs?”
The king of beasts representing all beasts.
They just have the characteristics of a beast and live a normal life no different from other beasts.
But.
The king of the beasts who decided to speak or act on behalf of all beasts.
You get the power and power to do that.
Wearing a crown split in half, made by weaving stems that do not exist in the world, on his head. Aji came here as the king of dogs.
Even if they are dogs that love and are loyal to humans, their hearts and wills are not in the hands of humans.
The king of dogs, declared on behalf of all dogs.
“Now it’s your turn to keep your promise.”
