To the captain who asked sadly, I declared.
“I don't know.”
“… Irresponsible.”
“I can’t help it. I'm not the first saint-like prophet. No one knows what the future holds, including me.”
I shrugged and answered.
“But I do know one thing for sure. For those who will lose something in this case, the Captain's actions will be of utmost value. No matter how bright tomorrow awaits, for those who die today, it will be just the sun shining on their graves.”
There was no answer. However, an answer came in my mind.
At first, she can't turn away. If she could have easily turned away from the person she could save… I wouldn't have done this.
The captain, who was firmly determined, looked straight at me and said.
“The main building… I will do my duty, not my duty.”
Tasks received and obligations to be performed. The captain eventually decided it for himself. The military doll has returned to life.
The captain looked straight at the values he had created and said.
“It may be impossible. The other signalmen may have been exposed to information I did not know, and they may have already grasped my whereabouts. There is a good chance that my efforts will be in vain.”
It might have been the last decision of his life, but the captain's words were calm. It was not the calmness of the office-like tone, but the unwavering weight of a person who was prepared.
“It will be difficult.”
“Positive. Nevertheless, it must be done.”
The captain grabbed his hat and jumped up. Now there was no time to delay.
Whether the military detects the information cast by the shadows, or whether the captain recognizes it and blocks it in advance. It was a time fight.
The captain, who was about to get out of the carriage immediately, stopped just before grabbing the doorknob. She clenched her fingers a few times in the air, clenched her fists slightly, and asked with hesitation.
“Just tell me one thing.”
'I just received it from the beginning. From being found in a box to arriving here. You have helped me so much… . My life was saved, and I was given a duty. body and mind. It's a gift from you.'
Knowing grace is like an animal. On the contrary, it can be said that a human who is full of doubts in his head is ignorant of grace.
now you know how much i gave A little late.
Is there anything more meaningful than telling the meaning of life to someone who has never had a life of their own? I smiled heartily.
… That way, you won't be the one behind me who will never betray me.
just as expected. The captain asked me with his hat on his chest.
“… For you, can I do something?”
great. This is it.
I replied as if nothing happened.
“If only you were alive.”
As long as you're alive, you can use it anyway. If you can think and act, you will be my strong back.
I thought you were a signal officer, only a horse captain and a water captain. Much more useful than I thought… It was also threatening.
In particular, if the military uses a signalman for long-distance surveillance, I have no choice but to get caught. Even for that time, it would be convenient if I gave the signalman a big favor like Captain Abbie.
military state. You'd be wary of this, but… I'll make good use of your tools.
It was around the time I was about to speak.
“okay. All right.”
“?”
What do you suddenly know? You have to listen to everything you say.
There are a lot of things you can do for me. If there is any investigation into me, I will cut them off, and if there is danger, I will warn them with a golem. Delivering all news about the war and related things, etc. Got a lot to do?
'It's the same as what the weaver said. make wishes come true If that's what you mean… As much as I can, I will give as much as you do.'
“thank you. I’ll just hurry.”
The captain bowed his head, opened the door and stepped outside. Alone in the carriage, I shook my head, bewildered.
That was then. The captain's thoughts came through the door. As soon as the captain connected to the golem, he repeated a word in his head.
'You won't see me. I will always look to you. Living the life you have been given.'
Uh, you don't always have to look… . Can I only watch when I feel threatened?
One side of the captain's sight as he was about to depart. A sight shone in the middle of one of the windows under her influence. The Captain, who was about to walk, stopped his steps and was astonished to see the observed field of view.
‘The veterans of the shelter… ! annihilation?!'
uh?
those people?
The largest military school in District 12. that battlefield.
The place where veterans of the shelter used to catch the bad guys and cheer them up was now in a state of chaos due to some kind of attack.
“Heh, heh, heh, heh. Zen, you're right. Even if you were 10 years younger… .”
Shelter Chief Frontine was bleeding all over. Blood from the torn wound ran obliquely along his folds and dripped onto his chin.
Raising Qigong from his whole body, Frontine shouted at the invisible enemy.
“Where are you? Don't hide from the old man, come out, shadow!”
“He didn’t hide.”
A gloomy voice echoed in Frontine's ears. As Frontine turned her head, she saw a shadow walking out of her school entrance.
Frontine exclaimed.
“You bastard, shadow!”
“I tried not to show my face whenever possible. That way, the military won’t even notice.”
A gloomy voice, as if without emotion, penetrated through the cracks in the shadows. It seemed to be whispering in my ear, or it seemed to come from afar.
The veterans who are still barely standing there, and the bastards who do not understand the situation and roll their eyes. I couldn't figure out where the voice was coming from.
A strange ability that I don't know if it's Qigong or his power.
“Has it been that long? it's free The place where a terrible being that I couldn't even talk about resided was a magical place where I couldn't be vigilant for even a single moment… . Everyone grew old and weak in a quiet city. The military and the shadows.”
Wolfen said lamentably. Eventually, his new model came out to the edge of the training ground.
In response, Frontine ran with a wand over his head.
“Yeah, man! Fight back!”
There is no chance of winning in a long game. Even now, it has already been gnawed out enough.
The shadow master, Boneshade Wolfen's under attack was stealthy, swift, and fatal. Wolfen knocked down five in an instant and left leisurely. An enraged Frontine pursued him, but he was struck back and wounded.
While Frontine was vigilant for a moment, Wolfen disappeared. However, the veterans who could not find where he had gone were unable to move and defended their positions.
And when Wolfen appeared again, the veterans who felt this was their last chance rushed in unison.
When the few remaining veterans rush in with their weapons.
The new type of Wolfen disappeared and only the voice remained.
“The battle has already ended, and your defeat has been decided. You just don't know yet.”
hooked. As he approached, the one-armed veteran was struck by an invisible blade and severed his remaining shoulder. He opened his eyes without time to control the pain.
“The anti-tank technology… ! I wrote it!”
“Do not swear.”
A voice was heard in my ear. The one-armed soldier aimed at the sounding side with an iron flail, but the flail, which had the power to break even concrete, split the air in vain.
pooh. And the sound of life slipping away again. The blade pierced his chest.
Big cut chest, flowing blood. When the one-armed soldier is about to fall slowly. His eyes lit up and he reached out and grabbed Wolfen's robe.
A right arm that sprung up from a severed shoulder that couldn't exist.
“Qigongsu?”
Wolfen responded. No matter what, he will not be able to shake off the hand that was held by the qigong.
Frontine approached him, who had tied the shadow for a moment.
“I got it! neo oh omg!”
Naturalization bloomed from the wrinkled eyes. She cherished and cherished her because of her lack of physical strength, but this is her last chance.
A staff full of qigong vibrates. Even in the dark, a flash of light flashed. Frontine's staff fell like lightning.
The staff wrapped in a storm behind them is a fatal blow just by passing it. If Wolfen escapes, it will explode the energy.
Grabbing the assassin and hitting it with a blow.
“… Black Precision.”
However, the darkness that had leaked out of Wolfen's body penetrated through the flashes. Lightning is swallowed by darkness in an instant. Wolfen, who strangely inserted the qigong, blew the falling Frontine's staff with a dagger.
The cane deflects in a gentle arc. Despair appeared on Frontine's face, and at that moment, the blade of the shadow cut through the old man's body without mercy.
How much blood was on the skinny body. Blood spurted from the old man's chest.
“Kuh… . Shit… .”
The old man groaned as he caught his broken breath.
Wolfen Fenstein is an assassin. It specializes in delivering prepared blows, so it's weak in head-to-head battles… .
“… So, that's what I was thinking. Is it a patch… .”
“The reason Bourne didn’t fight head-on was just because it was effective.”
Wolfen murmured with emotionless eyes. Frontine responded by vomiting her blood.
“me too… know. Oh my gosh… than me… There are so many better people out there… .”
And, perhaps, it could have come from among the children he raised. Beyond maturity, a child who can be compared to growth may appear.
Like a musketeer who was recently recognized as the sixth commander, the youngest member of the sixth.
Children have endless possibilities. It's the adult's job to smoke before the possibility runs out.
For that reason, Frontine left his last words before he died.
“we are… You didn't say a word about your identity… . Those kids don't know who you are… .”
All the veterans he summoned died. Already retired and still soldiers, they stood in the way of Wolfen, ready to die.
Lost, but still. Just in case you have insurance.
“I’m going to do a killing spree… No need… .”
Isn't it your purpose to kill them all?
To the old man who complained even as he was dying, Wolfen responded with emotionless eyes.
“If so.”
After all, Wolfen's purpose was to spread taboos, so he won't kill them.
I don't know how the military might come out against them, but there was no reason for Wolfen to explain that.
It's Wolfen's heart anyway.
Frontine listened to Wolfen's words, and closed her eyes with peace of mind. His last sleep was longer than his life.
the old man died Of course, Wolfen was not very impressed with it. He just stared at the next target with deep sunken eyes.
Next is the market. A new type of Wolfen disappeared into the dark street… .
In the eyes of Wolfen who was heading to the market like that. I saw a chariot led by two horses.
