The soldiers who destroyed the kingdom demolished the royal castle and established a military government. The first king to visit the new country was none other than the king of dogs.
The King of Dogs personally visited the military and asked them to drive out the wolves together.
At that time, the military was fed up with the existence of a king. It was a pilgrimage to incompetence, and it was also a sense of inferiority radiated by those who were not chosen by the king.
Even if it is the king of beasts. Representing all dogs and fighting with wolves every time, the dog king was no less than a tyrant who waged war from the military's point of view.
However, since the military was not one of those idiots who would try to kill the dog king out of simple hatred, the military made a different offer.
I'll give you a place to hide from the wolf's eyes and nose, so hide there. If you keep your promise, I will help the dog defeat the wolf.
Of course, there were also political calculations involved.
The king of dogs attracts the king of wolves. By executing the king, the military power, which was out of sight of the neighboring countries, had to have in hand a few bombs to detonate when they were driving. Otherwise, it was clear that the newly born fragile country would be shattered and destroyed by foreign aggression.
The king of dogs nodded at the military's suggestion. It was the first agreement made after the establishment of the military state.
However, the difference between entering and leaving the bathroom also applied to the country.
When the day to repay the old bonds approached, the feeling of the military nation was one.
embarrassment.
“… king of dogs. You have broken your oath.”
The defense commander, General Buidun, walked out of the headquarters. The officers hurriedly out of the way. Some said it was dangerous and tried to keep in front of him, but at the gesture of Captain Buidun, he hurriedly retreated.
Captain Buidun, who was alone with the King of Dogs, spoke slowly.
“Our promise is the story of when you were quiet in the abyss until the day that time came. But you ran out of there.”
“bruise.”
Aji snorted and barked. Captain Buidun thought that the king of dogs would be arrogant.
don't force yourself
The abyss is gone, how can you stay longer?
25 years is a long wait.
If he answered that, he was trying to grab the dog's king's horsetail and somehow gain an advantage.
Passing on extremely political responsibility that shows everything inside but has no way to deal with it.
The political calculation of Captain Buidun was laid to win concessions from the dog king.
But.
“I don’t want to keep a promise.”
The words of the dog king made Captain Buidun startled.
He's too pure to be a human, but can he simply dismiss him as a dog? The existence that accurately pinpointed the positions of Buidun and the military?
“Wolf, are you afraid? Don't you want to fight?”
Captain Buidun answered slowly. Unlike before, it's not because I don't have a psychological advantage, it's because I don't know what to say.
“I am not afraid. It just wasn't ready. It's still time… .”
“I am ready.”
Aji looked straight at the captain and said.
“Wolves, pack up. I don't rush Instead, make an appointment with a human. The humans who promised me are my group.”
“… we are not dogs It can't be your group.”
“know. it's human So I promised. To take the lead when fighting wolves. I will protect humans, and humans will also protect me.”
It is too pure to be an agreement, but it cannot be dismissed as a mere promise.
The wolf, a symbol of ferocity, is the king of the most ferocious animals. A clever and ferocious beast that has had numerous conflicts with humans.
That king, the king of wolves, used to attack humans more aggressively than any other beast. The humans then drove out the wolves with their friends.
… That's also a thing of the past.
“bruise. I waited patiently I kept waiting, believing that the promise would be kept. No sunlight, no walks. It's not fun, but still to chase wolves. to protect humans. I kept waiting patiently.”
The crown split in half made a humming sound. The king of dogs, the prophet of all dogs, commanded humans to help dogs.
Buidun felt the rage boiling from below as he saw the king's symbol of strong presence.
It is different from the fake kings possessed by humans. The beast standing in front of you is a being that the world occupies. A true dog king who truly cares for, represents, and has the power to do so.
Why, why do only insignificant beasts have a king? The more he thought about it, the more he felt hatred and inferiority, but as a senior politician, he skillfully hid his feelings.
“… I don't know. It is irrational to move the army to fight wolves.”
“Are you not going to keep your promise?”
“It’s not something I can decide.”
Captain Buidun is one of the few generals in the military, but he cannot decide on a major issue alone. He has to conduct cabinet meetings and make resolutions through the correspondents.
But Captain Buidun knew. that the military will never fight the wolf king.
Now that the abyss is gone, there is no time to fight the wolf king. Because there will be a lot of scavenger hunters aiming for the abyss wilderness, where Earthmother's grace will soon return.
There will be war. It's faster than I thought, but it's already what I expected. The military was preparing for a war with the nations bordering on the abyss wilderness.
From the beginning of the war, when it is important to subdue the baseline, the war will only be prolonged if two fronts are opened.
“In the first place, why should we join your war? Humans do not have kings, so why should humans be injured in the conflict between kings?”
“The king of men, humans have destroyed it. He disappeared because he didn't need it. So, I have no choice but to make a pact with a human.”
Aji replied sadly.
“But, humans don't remember promises. He doesn't protect anyone… .”
I felt sorry for the resignation-like tone, but it was too big to move with emotion alone. Captain Vu Idun waved his hand.
“When the business is over, will you leave? We have work to do.”
“… bad.”
Captain Buidun replied with a smirk.
“What can you do, King of Dogs. will you attack us Would you rebel against a human for breaking a promise?”
Captain Buidun shuddered, knowing that the King of Dogs could never do that.
Indeed it was. Aji didn't have any hostility towards them, even though there were a lot of humans with swords and spears standing in front of them.
However, the only ones that Aji does not harbor hostility to are humans.
Swords and spears are different. Aji revealed this towards everything except humans.
“It will make you nervous.”
“Nah-ah.”
Her white, fluffy hair that fell down to her waist. A tail that is both still and agile. pricked cat ears.
In order to attract anyone's attention for a moment, Suin, a cat with a very noble appearance, wags its tail and stretches it droopingly. The front legs were long and the waist drew a soft curve.
The butterfly, which had loosened up to its fullest, murmured, flapping its front paws.
“Stupid asshole. Whether you are a king or not, are you bound by chains? Do you keep looking for humans even if you don't get rewarded? Are you pitiful… .”
The crown floating over the butterfly's head twisted back and forth and disappeared. He wore the crown for a while because of the 'prophecy' conveyed by the king of dogs, but when he realized that it was a declaration directed only to humans, the king of cats returned to his duties as a king.
The butterfly jumped up as she watched Aji's 'nervous' behavior.
“Nah-. Does the blood boil because it moves quickly? May I help you?”
A small murmur that could seep through a crack in the ground. But Aji, who was running rampant below, pricked his ears. Aji also expressed a slight refusal.
“bruise. no.”
Upon hearing the answer, the butterfly lowered her half-raised body again and yawned droopy.
“Nah. do it your way Poor, stupid dog.”
The butterfly returned to the observer, silently watching the dog king go wild.
The nervousness of the king of dogs had to focus more on the king than on the dog.
Fifteen armaments have already been damaged. Each weapon had a dull tooth mark on it. The officers who said they would not let go of their weapons even if they died had to withdraw their promise today.
Damage was not limited to weapons. Fortunately, the weapons held in human hands and the armor wrapped around them were on the good side.
Compared to what non-humans suffered, they maintained their original form.
It was as if bombs had dropped all over the headquarters, no, it was as if a gigantic earth magician had turned the ground upside down.
The walls of the headquarters were covered with 4th level alchemy steel to block attacks from the outside. Azi treated it like loose wallpaper.
So, it means that you ripped it off with your teeth.
Alchemy steel was not just a wallpaper, but a glove nailed to the outer wall of the building. Since it was ripped out with one individual's teeth, there was no way the building would thrive. The defense command, which boasted a strong majesty, had the wall itself torn off and the inside was brightly visible.
None of the military wagons were fully on all four wheels, and the door, scratched by claws, was squashed, revealing the inside through a crack.
The yard and walls were full of footprints and claw marks. If there had been a farmer, he would have planted the seeds thinking that the land had just been plowed.
The only thing the officers could do was follow Aji's tail. That's enough so Aji can catch up before he breaks something.
When the officers' hands came close to Aji, he ran away, barking happily as if he were playing a tag.
In the end, Captain Buidun could not bear it and cried out.
“The riots end there-!”
He set aside the officer who was guarding in front of him, and he flew away without an army uniform. Running 30 meters in one breath, he spread his palms wide and swept through the space. A blue energy spurted out of each of his fingers and swept over Aji like a net.
Aji jumped like a fire. She ran so fast that her body was half buried in the wall. Captain Bu Idun kicked his tongue and followed Aji again.
The officers admired the commander's innocence.
“Also, boss… !”
But Captain Buidun knew.
The reason why the King of Dogs reacts sensitively is that Captain Buidun is naked.
Captain Buidun's fists are fast and strong. If you block it or hit it, a huge shock will strike the boss of Buidun. Of course, the captain has the strength and qigong to overcome it, but Aji cannot pose such a threat to humans.
At best, it's all about biting the weapon or ripping the armor.
Therefore, even though the other officers were simply disarmed, they avoided the attack of Captain Buidun from afar.
Captain Buidun shouted after chasing Aji's tail.
“go away! Get out of the military and find another owner! A human who will kill the wolf for you!”
“Kung, Kung!”
Aji barked menacingly at Captain Buidun, who came out of the ship as he did not keep his promise. Of course, Captain Buidun didn't blink an eye.
Instead, I thought to myself.
Even a dog whose only 'playing' with humans is such a power.
If so, how strong is the king of wolves who will only use a more powerful force to destroy humans? He would even hunt systematically in packs with other wolves… .
Most likely, it is the price that humans have for forsaking their king.
That's why I should have obtained the King of Dogs before the promise was fulfilled.
Regret implies being late in the very meaning of the word. Captain Bu Idun brushed off his thoughts and shouted.
“The human you are looking for is not in the military! go away!”
“Awww-!”
It rang out for a long time at the howl of the beast. Captain Buidun is trying to drive Aji away.
I was startled by the feeling of life above my head and looked up.
Tirkanzaka, who sat on the coffin and watched what was happening below, turned her head to the feeling of living next to her.
Shay was pointing Jizan down. With a serious expression like an investigator conducting a survey.
“… What are you doing?”
“Wait a minute. If you drop it from here, it will fall in a few seconds.”
Although Jizan's weight is comparable to that of Mt. Tai, his powers are based on earth technology. Jizan cannot smash the ground with his own weight.
Still, it can create the impact of a huge boulder falling. If you drop it from this height, even the captain will not be safe.
Even if Tirkanjaka hadn't stopped, Captain Buidun would not have been unharmed.
“Didn’t I say I had to find Hugh? Why did you suddenly want to kill me?”
“That captain, I wanted to see you somewhere, but he was the commander of all things. He's the one who runs and supports the lord of all things. It's better to kill him now.”
Tirkanzaka frowned.
“If you’re going to kill him, do it after asking Hugh’s whereabouts. If you kill a human like that, wouldn't it come out uncooperatively?”
“So, without revealing our identities, you just drop Jizan and try to kill us.”
“If we appear after their captain is killed by a sword that fell from the sky, they will not be very suspicious.”
Tirkanzaka scolded Shay, but Shay didn't act without thinking. She just forgot to explain it to someone because she was unfamiliar with it.
Shay decided to get rid of his colleagues' suspicions once he got rid of Jizan.
“There’s no reason to keep him alive. The Warrant of All Things is very different from the military state. To achieve an end, we do not calculate means, methods, and costs. How much is the warrant base or supply plan for everything we destroyed when we arrived, will you be willing to cooperate? We could really take him hostage.”
“Hmm.”
Tirkanjaka looked down as if he was in trouble. Their help would make things easier, but I never wanted him to be in danger.
Tirkanzaka, who had given up neatly, gestured towards Shay.
“Leave it alone. If he can be killed at any time, why do we need to kill him now, old-fashioned? Let's go to work after we find Hugh.”
“Okay. I want to kill you now… .”
However, as Tirkanjaka said, Captain Buidun can be killed at any time. He doesn't have to be completely out of touch with the military already.
Shay kicked his tongue and took the jizz.
“Ts. I can't help it. Captain Buidun is not even a body.”
The real body of the lord of all things is not him, but the supreme commander (戈兵). A weapon master who is stronger than anyone in a prepared battle.
Although he was knocked down several times in the previous round, Shay had a hard time with the weapon that changed each time.
It might be better to kill him here and keep him alive to alert the guards.
“I thought well. Now that this has happened, let's use the second method and the third method. What is the second way?”
“The second way is to ask Aji and Nabi to find them. If the king of the beasts has the sense of smell, he will find it quickly if he sells a little bit.”
“Hey. That's a good idea. Then what about the third?”
Shay smiled bitterly. Waiting for the moment to prove her own competence, she opened her chest and spoke proudly.
“The third is to get it from the information guild. I know how to connect with them.”
“Information Guild.”
As expected, there was an interesting response from Tirkanjaka. Shay added with a slight smirk.
“Speaking of the intelligence officer of Amittengrad, the black cat. It's a magazine that specializes in gossip and revelation, but its work is as good as the information guild. If you go to a window that only Secret members can go to, they will sell your information, and if you pay a request, they will even conduct an investigation yourself. It's not that dangerous to find a single person, so you'll find them soon.”
However, no one here expected it.
A magazine created by the conscripts. What information awaits there.
Hehehe, something is coming.
Oh no. The news.
