In the morning, the troops of the army began to march. The troops were divided into airborne carriages and ran on a narrow meta-conveyor belt, avoiding the occasional container.
Running on the flowing land, the march speed was incredible. It jumped over five administrative districts at once and passed famous mountains and rivers in an instant. At the end of their gaze after a miraculous march with literal Chukjibeop, a reddish container surrounded by ominous darkness appeared in the distance. It was a container where aptitude beings, including the founder, stayed.
Jeechang, who had stopped advancing, refused to use the loudspeaker and shouted loudly.
“It was besieged. surrender obediently… .”
Without speaking, Jee Chang-sang, who frowned, immediately fixed the spear . widely. Holding the long spear over his shoulder, he threw the spear with all his might without saying a katabuta.
A blue meteor flew over the flowing land.
The spear that flew through the wind pierced the container. The spear that had disappeared through the back broke off the front cover and popped out shortly thereafter. With a loud noise, the cargo that was filled inside came out like broken intestines.
Everything inside the container was swept away by the javelin of the spear. Patraxion calmly checked the side of the pouring object.
Beans, flour, and alchemy junk rolling in the headwind.
“… Apparently, I don't think I wiped out the enemy with my javelin. right?”
Colonel Gand, the lieutenant and disciple of the spear who ran out first, checked the inside of the container and shouted.
“That's right. It’s a regular cargo container!”
“okay. I was deceived.”
He did not neglect reconnaissance. However, in order to reconnaissance those who flow through the belt, we had to approach the belt from this side as well. If you don't, you'll just fall behind.
However, if the opponent is a formidable strongman, the limit that a scout can approach gradually increases.
Even the opponent is the founder Tirkanjaka. The owner of the power to deal directly with the darkness. Darkness was usually a scout's friend, but this wasn't the only time. All scouts who discovered something were cut off from contact.
During the vacancy of reconnaissance she draped in darkness, the container was turned over.
“Over the night, you swapped containers.”
Jeechang said quietly and jumped onto the carriage. The car, which had stopped for a moment, started moving again.
None of the generals were confused or disappointed, even though they knew they had been hiding for the night and moving further away.
Because if the military had been in that position, they would have acted the same.
“… As expected. If they have a chaser hanging from behind, it is very likely that something has been done during the free night.”
“I mean, he uses his head over there, too. Reasonably, I chose to go forward.”
During the night, the power of the other side, including the Sijo, is superior to the military power.
This in itself was a little irrational and unfair calculation, but it was a clear fact anyway. Fighting an unconsumed immortal legion was something he should never have done.
In the meantime, the military must avoid engagement, and the enemy is free to act. And in this meta-conveyor belt, freedom comes down to either front or back.
A reasonable choice is the front. Moving forward brings you closer to their target, and at the same time slows down their pursuit. Another advantage is that the physical strength of ordinary soldiers who have to walk against the wind can be omitted. There won't be much difference in power though.
It was a result that had already been sufficiently foreseen, and even a countermeasure came out.
The golem standing next to the spear saw the empty container in his eyes and reported it in a blunt manner.
“I am in charge of the meta-conveyor belt, I am Captain Piyu, the military signal operator. Update observation information, point 1 is dummy. Converts the target to point 2.”
Zhejiang looked at the front of the belt and ordered without looking at the golem.
“Tell it to the daughter-in-law of the military commander who ran ahead. She said this was a dummy.”
“We have already completed the report to Director Historia. Because this information is more urgent for the detached unit.”
“Oh, is it?”
Scratching his head, Pataxion shouted loudly at the main unit waiting for orders again.
“Anyway, you won’t be able to move as fast as night during the day. Now, get ready to march again! Pursue the enemy!”
“yep!”
A well-trained army began to march in unison. As if it had nothing to do with the current situation, he moved forward, avoiding the containers that were placed everywhere and flowing along the road.
“hey. Colonel Gand. Come here.”
At that time, Patraxion called his disciple. Colonel Gandh answered the call and ran quickly.
Although he is a disciple of the great spear and his force is no less than that of a general, he is merely a young lieutenant in his position. On the other hand, a commander who folds even a few generals with great spears.
Colonel Gand moved as quickly as possible as if he was a regular soldier and stood by the spear.
Zhejiang said with an infinitely serious attitude, pointing to the container he had pierced.
“hey. By the way, doesn't it look like you just pierced a spear from an asshole through your mouth? In the past, all the intestines came out of my mouth, but the container is similar, right?”
“… .”
Although he did not express it, the expressions of the generals who were listening nearby suddenly rotted away.
The fateful morning dawned. At dawn, below the distant eastern line, a glowing sphere poked its head toward the world.
The sun is often portrayed primarily as the face of a god or Absolute, but at least it was clear that it had no personality.
Otherwise, you won't get tired of every day for eons, and you won't be able to face your face from the east.
“bruise! It's morning! bruise!”
cancellation. This dog also wakes up every morning without getting tired of how long it has been since he met me. If you don't give up, it will wake you up for eternity.
It makes me sleep more. Why is this dog trying to wake me up even though it's not an abyss… .
“King of dogs, let it be. Let me rest until I can rest.”
“bruise? no! In the morning, wake up to be healthy! Regular life, important!”
“You won't die if you don't get a little bit of that hateful sunlight. It has not been long since the dawn has risen, so what do you mean in such a hurry?”
Also Tyr. The only one who truly cares about me is Tyr.
what? What time do you wake up in the morning? who decided that?
don't let the world fit you It's making the world fit you! It's morning when I wake up and it's today before I go to sleep!
“bruise! Oh no, bad! Bad for your health!”
“If the absence of the sun hurts Hugh’s body, I will take responsibility and make him into a body that can’t be done.”
'Hugh likes to sleep, so even becoming a vampire might not be that bad… .'
“Ouch! Wake up like crazy! Nice to meet you, today's sun!”
Being alive is important. To be able to face the morning of that day confidently, how can't we be happy?
Anyway, I was sober, I opened the door of the container and looked outside. Amidst the warmth of dawn through the chill of the night, the world on the meta-conveyor belt was still being pushed backwards.
Crops were growing green in the vast farmland in the distance, and I could see the people who greeted the morning between the mountains and the fields wandering around the world.
The lush land seems to be basking in the morning sun and calling out to itself. I realized that I had moved quite a bit in the middle of the night, seeing a clearly different scene from yesterday.
“You seem to have moved a lot during the night. It must have been heavy.”
“As an object submerged in water has no weight, so is it in the dark. No matter how heavy it is.”
Last night, we prepared a dummy container and replaced the entire container. Tyr lifted and moved our entire container while the returners set up traps around it.
Contrary to its daunting feeling, the floating container, buried in darkness, was very comfortable to ride. I was so anxious that I fell asleep soon after.
Thanks to this, the military side, which did not notice our movement, was far behind. Even if he chases after you at full speed, it will probably arrive after noon.
“However, as I said yesterday, the wind blew so hard that it could not move far.”
“What is that? In the first place, Tyr’s way of moving is closer to floating.”
Those who walk on the ground can go faster if they endure the wind a little, but Tyr does not take advantage of the advantage of being on a meta-conveyor belt because it is a method of lifting into darkness.
Well, you should be satisfied with just the distance.
“by the way. Whew, I have something to ask you. Wouldn't it be better to defeat the enemy at night than to run away?”
Tyr asked again, as if he didn't like the passive approach.
'Why don't you just show yourselves to those who stand in my way without fear? If you throw yourself away, you won't be able to even dare to pursue them.'
Is this the mindset of the strong? He seems to think of a being who can fight the army alone.
Well, if it's possible, there's nothing bad about it… I don't want to
I calmly repeated the explanation I gave yesterday.
“To do that, you have to go back. There is no reason for us, who have to leave the military as soon as possible, to return to their old state.”
“Sometimes it’s a faster way to go back, isn’t it?”
“In most cases, the quickest way is the fastest. We have no reason to choose the way back because we are pressed for time.”
“… hmmm. Even if you are like that.”
Tyr complained that he did not understand. Alas, this is a modern tactic. It's different than it was a thousand years ago.
'I have to show how to defeat the enemy nicely, so I will trust and follow me on vacation a little more. Lately, it seems like you've only been showing your unwillingness. Maybe it's because she stubbornly refuses to become a vampire… .'
It's not that, was it simply that you wanted to show off your cool side? I'm not even a bloody young man!
Although he is full of blood, his blood is a little different!
From now on, when dealing with Tyr, I will speak more calmly.
“Even if we go on the offensive, it will be enough if that side retreats. Then we are again forced to make a choice there. Do you narrow the distance or go back? Both options are going to cost us more than we originally planned. In the end, I couldn't find the original shrine I had originally thought of. Our purpose is not to annihilate the enemy, but to escape. If that’s the case, it’s reasonable to put that part first and act.”
“Will the army of a country withdraw so easily?”
“The military does. It's such a country. You may have heard of the term active avoidance of engagement.”
'Active avoidance of engagement… . Oh, I was told to avoid the battle because it would only cause damage if I tried to face it.'
It was Tyr who had experienced it firsthand when heading to the capital from the abyss, so he accepted it much more easily. Still, Tyr could not imagine the Legion fleeing even after throwing everything away.
“What if we retreat and they bite and droop?”
“When you force yourself to bite like a dog from the other side. That’s the right time to fight.”
“bruise? me? Biting and stretching?”
I mentioned the dog, but an aunt I thought I had called came up to me. Aji waved her tail helplessly and said sorry.
“I’m sorry, humans can’t ask! I'm sorry!”
“I’m really sorry.”
“Still, I will do my best! bruise! Trash scraps, I hate it!”
“What a piece of tissue paper… . are you talking about me? Did I say that because if I was torn like a piece of paper, your investment would be a piece of paper?”
“bruise!”
Aji, who answered brightly, had the attitude that he was either my master or a debtor.
You should give me money and tell me. It's not funny. I banged Aji's head in one. My hand hurt more, but human beings have a dignity that must be preserved even by enduring pain.
“I haven’t had much investment from you yet, have I? Man, what is an investment? It has to be worth it in order to be recognized.”
Aji said without protesting even after being hit by one.
“I will!”
“What can humans do that can’t bite?”
Dogs have to be helpful. When I gave her a pint glass with an unexpected look on her face, Aji hesitated for a moment and then lifted her head. Her clear, large brown eyes had a strong determination that was not like a dog.
“bruise! I'll bite everyone but humans!”
what. Could that be a bit reassuring?
Aji, who answered with a firm determination, immediately turned her head away from me and headed a little further inside. There, yesterday, there was a returner who had been following the rear for a while to check the scouts, and was lying helplessly on the bed.
Whether it was her duty to wake the humans up, Aji approached the returner's bedside and barked loudly.
“bruise! wake up! It's morning!”
“Uh-huh. oh hey Daddy came late yesterday and he's tired. Wake up slowly.”
“Who is the father… .”
'If it's a mother, I don't know… . ugh No, this isn't it. Is it that guy's influence? I think I'm slowly starting to see Ajina butterflies as pets… .'
The regressor wrapped around my head quickly pulled himself up and got up.
“The sun has risen… Hasn't the enemy appeared yet?”
“Not yet.”
“I’m just jogging… . Let’s get ready soon.”
As if he was familiar with the yogi during the battle, the returner began to eat the prepared food in a hurry without taking out even a large stone. I also forcibly swallowed the canned food, leaving one in front of the canned food for Aji and Butterfly.
Tyr, who didn't need to eat in the meantime, just stared at him and urged us when he finished eating.
“Let’s hurry. If you had to move at night, wouldn't it be better to move during the day?”
“Oh, you don’t have to.”
As soon as I finished speaking, gunfire rang out from far away.
ride It had been heard from a long distance, but it was certain that they were aimed at this side. The familiar sound of knocking on the outer wall of the container resounded.
As if familiar with the returner, he tossed the canned food, took out the canteen, and gulped the water. I also swallowed the leftover food in my mouth. The amount he ate was not much, but his stomach, which was tightened due to tension, did not show the lack of it.
“It won’t be easy for us to move during the day.”
before delay.
Until the main force reached this side, a force arrived trying to grab us by the ankles.
