About a week ago from now.
The military suddenly summoned its troops.
It used to be an everyday thing that the military authorities were not even talking about calling out soldiers to protect the security, but this time the scale was different. All available troops were gathered into the city, leaving only the minimum forces necessary to defend the borders and key points. It was as if a war was waged against the city. While people were shivering and hiding in their houses when they saw the soldiers filling the streets, the military started a large-scale arrest operation using the gathered troops.

Miscellaneous criminals who were left unattended because their crimes were vague, those who only posted their names on wanted flyers, and the resistances who were hiding with the cooperation of citizens.
And quite a few, just unlucky and unfair citizens.
All of them were arrested and trampled under the feet of soldiers who roamed the streets.
Even Kanisen could not avoid the checkpoint.
In the past, when the military was still a kingdom, Kanisen was a servant of the prestigious Knights Templar. After the military took power, he was in hiding, but the military intelligence department still regarded him as a dangerous person and kept an eye on him.
Naturally, as a result of this incident, his small house was also visited by soldiers.
Up to this point, it was common practice in the military. The kingdom’s factors are suddenly visited by soldiers. And to suffer from being caught and dragged out of every word.
If there is one thing that is different from usual, however, is that Kanisen was really a rebel and was preparing for a terrorist attack against the military in the near future.
As soon as Kanisen sensed it, he took the minimum amount of equipment and fled. His comrades with him also fled.
After confirming that the first thing he had touched was a vein, the military rushed after them.
However, Kanisen is also a person who once joined the military even though it was said that he was in the kingdom period. Feeling something absurd in this bustling movement, instead of running away, he hid in the military’s supply chain. And there I discovered a surprising fact.
The fact that numerous heinous criminals have escaped from the Great Prison of Tantalus, which houses the worst criminals in history, and that the military has gathered forces to prevent the chaos they will inflict.
He got some surprising information, but he didn’t have much time left. The pursuit continued and there were too many enemies. There would be no point in resisting here. It just gets swept away by the overwhelming force of the car.
Then, like a miracle, a way out appeared in front of him.
A supply box that should have gone to Tantalus, where the prisoners lost their way to escape and was left unattended.
Thoughts pass by like a flashlight. In order to obtain information in a brief moment, flashing flashes of memories were slammed into my brain.
To have a headache. I grabbed my throbbing head and got up from the stream of thoughts.
Sudden massive checkpoint. And the Resistance escaped from there. After a mind-reading approximation of how they got here, he lamented that it was absurd.

Military assholes. Usually he pretends to be meticulous, but he doesn’t open the box there.
I feel like I want to shake up the golem who said that supplies were coming straight away. Can’t you double check before sending? You don’t even check the goods?
Thanks to the military’s negligence, the five resistance men who forgot food inside and endured. They groaned in pain in a space so small that it was difficult to lift a hand, and immediately ran out as if they had waited as soon as they landed.
The first thing they encountered was me, and it was only natural that they, who were dissatisfied with everything in the world, poured out their hostility towards me.
ha. resistance.
Even the resistance is mostly young people who are dissatisfied with society. No matter how poor I am here, I have no intention of losing to young children. Where can I give real education to the little ones? It’s me who you grew up with, guys.
As I was releasing my hands, a strong young man pointed his gun and shouted sharply.
“Don’t hold back! Raise your hand!”
I hurriedly raised my hand. The gun is unavoidable.
phew. thank god. If Aji hadn’t licked his shoulder, he would have died because he couldn’t lift his hand. I have to thank Aji.
… No, wait.
The reason my arm hurt in the first place, and the reason I was out in the yard at the right time, is because I know everything. Even if I hadn’t played ball with you, I would never have faced the Resistance with my bare body!
“bruise?”
Aji, who was waving her tail fiercely to welcome the new humans, tilted her head when she saw my burning gaze. I stared at Aji with my arms raised.
It looks like I’m being caught because of you, so take care of yourself!
I wrote all kinds of impressions and sent a message with this meaning. Aji looked at me, her eyes twinkling, and nodded as if she understood. Yes, the king of dogs. Finally, pay some money.
“Dog girl, raise your hand too!”
“bruise!”
Aji barked cheerfully and raised her hand following me.
okay. what do you want from He’s a guy with a light tail who greets people right away.
The young man made a slightly suspicious face when he saw Aji’s face that was too bright. I was hoping for an attack on Aji.
‘… He’s docile for a dirty dog beast. It looks a little lacking, but it doesn’t look dangerous at first, so stay tuned… .’
It seems that appearance influenced the judgment. too bad. If I had fought Aji with a gun, I’d have been hit with one doggy punch and broken one by one.
The young man swung his gun threateningly and shouted.
“ruler! When you’ve all raised your hands, just get down on your knees and fall to the ground… !”
“Alpha. stop.”
A middle-aged man appeared silently from behind the box. He naturally stepped forward and put his hand on the shoulder of a man called Alpha. While Alpha gasped for breath, a middle-aged man grabbed his muzzle in his hand and lowered it slowly.
Alpha breathed in and asked.
“Leader?”
In terms of age, in ability, in career, or in appearance or presence.
Kanisen, a man who could only be seen as a captain, walked out in front of me.
You can feel his strength in his hard gait. Even if the world falls, it seems he will fall a little later than that. Although he has been crouching in a box for several days, his body and mind are strong as if there were no scratches.
The leader of this resistance group, Kanisen, hit Alpha.
“We don’t know about this place yet. I know you’re cramped and anxious, but it’s the tongue, not the gun, that you need to use now.”
“… sorry. It was hasty.”
“This can be happen. I understand. I’ve been locked up for too long.”
Kanisen came out with cold eyes, stroking his ragged beard, and glanced at Aji once. Then, after glancing at Tantalus, a searchlight shining in the distance, he approached me with a calculated smile.
“Excuse me. Were you surprised?”
I was really surprised. I nodded my head and shouted with sincerity.
“No, of course then! Everyone, who are you? Aim the gun all of a sudden!”
“Don’t be vigilant. We are enemies of the military, we are on your side. I apologize for pointing the gun at you. you are… ?”
Kanisen dragged the horse’s tail, asking for an introduction.
While being polite, he asks for an answer with appropriate momentum. Naturally, the way he digs about me was enough to be called exemplary. Still, he did not stop thinking.
‘young. taking off his shirt Seeing that he wasn’t even wearing a military uniform, let alone a military uniform, he doesn’t seem to belong to the military. It doesn’t look like it’s thin and slender or strong. I’ve heard that most of the prisoners escaped, so if you’re the first to come out to get supplies, it’s likely that he’s a laborer. If so, what we lack the most… I can get information here.’
Perhaps the Resistance didn’t even have a chaff as the leader, so he was rational in his thinking and quick in his judgment. It was the first time he came out of the abyss after falling into the legendary prison called Tantalus and surviving for three days in a small box, but he did not lose his composure.
it’s my favorite type It’s clear what attitude to take.
An image drawn in the other person’s mind. that shapes me If he thinks of me as a laborer, then I am the most perfect servant he thinks of.
His posture is a little crooked, he doesn’t hide his tiredness, and his voice mixes a little bit of fear and bewilderment. I’m glad I don’t have a uniform. ‘Cause there’s no need to make excuses I deliberately waved my helpless gaze, imitating the reaction of a laborer when he met an intruder.
“I, I am the one who came in here about a week ago. The soldiers came suddenly, arrested me, and, without saying a word, threw me here and ordered me to work. I, I don’t know anything. I have no money.”
“What are you doing?”
“Choices like cooking and cleaning!”
“Indeed, he was the one who was brought in by an evil military force.”
“okay. I feel embarrassed.”
Kanisen nodded satisfactorily and reached out to me.
“Yes, we are comrades. We also have a grudge against the military.”
“yes?”
When I reached out my hand tremblingly, Kanisen grabbed my hand and shook it vigorously. The power was so filthy that my whole body stumbled.
“We are the people’s friend, the Resistance. Those who seek freedom and peace by overthrowing a cruel army.”
Now is the time to surprise. I exclaimed in an exaggerated manner.
“Lee, Resistance?!”
After the military overthrew the monarchy and came to power, harsh labor, low wages, strict control and ruthless punishment, and rapid urbanization resulted in the collapse of the existing order. Those who lost their property or family by the military took refuge in the shadows and formed an organization against the military.
However, the ununited rebel hordes could not stand up to the military elite. It appeared sporadically, but was suppressed several times at once. The rebels also felt the need for a systematic leadership and united under an outstanding leader.
That’s the biggest rebel group, the Resistance. Those who cry for liberation from the military government.
Of course, long after the military government came to power, the general public’s perception of the Resistance is not very good. Let’s mix the boundaries a little bit here. It would be more natural that way.
“Lee, if it’s the resistance, then, the terrorist… . Huh!”
He pretended to cover his mouth without saying the word “terrorist” on purpose. Then he looked at me with terrified eyes.
A little rude, but a normal reaction to a normal person.
As expected, Kanisen was not suspicious of my attitude.
“I understand. You’ve only heard bad rumors about us. The military would have incited us to be ruthless terrorists.”
“Oh, well. yes.”
“But be aware. The brutality of the resistance conveyed by the military, most of them are true… The military authorities did it and then overwrote us. We are essentially the same as you who were framed by the military.”

Maybe it was because he was once a knight, and his serious words carry weight. If I had been an ordinary person, I would have trusted those words without realizing it.
After reassuring him that he was on the same side, he was also good at forming a consensus that you and I are no different. There was quite a bit of tea that once governed people.
“Believe us. We are here to help you.”
this person.
He’s pretty good at cheating. Had it not been for the knight, I would have been a con artist in the back alley.
But the opponent was bad. Since I am the number one scammer in the back alleys, most of my words have become useless.
I answered, acting as if the fear was slowly dissipating.
“Are you here to help me?”
“Of course! Help those who are unfairly oppressed by the military. Because it’s resistance! You, of course, will help all those who are imprisoned here!”
“iced coffee.”
As if in admiration, he sheds a few words. Kanisen laughed vigorously at my reaction, which did not betray my expectations.
He looked away from me for a moment, then turned to Aji, who was still standing with his hands raised.
“Now, who is this beautiful beast girl?”
At Kanisen’s question, Aji exclaimed brightly.
“bruise! I am a puppy!”
“puppy? That’s an odd name. How did she get here?”
“nice to meet you! nice to meet you! nice to meet you!”
Aji suddenly ran and started spinning around Kanisen. It was so quick and unexpected that even Kanisen, a former knight, could not react. It was when Kanisen, startled, took his hand to his waist.
I could feel the enmity rising up inside the box. When I turned my head, a woman resistance who had been guarding this side in the box was pointing a gun at Aji.
“Leader!”
The voice of a young woman with clear vigilance.
Hearing that voice, Kanisen contorted his face.
“mum… !”
‘You can’t shoot!’
But before his words could even begin, the trigger had already been pulled.
bang!
Bullets spewed out of the muzzle. The armor-piercing round, slightly ahead of the gunshot, is precisely aimed at Aji and sucked in. it’s instant It didn’t take a moment for the bullets to reach Aji from this close range.
In the meantime, Aji, who had been circling around Kanisen, suddenly stared at the armor-piercing bullets approaching him.
I grabbed it with my teeth just before it touched my body.
quack.
A strange sound was heard. The sound of teeth digging through steel. The sound of metal being crushed without mercy. And that was it.
The bullet’s short journey, which began at the muzzle, ended between Aji’s teeth.
ugh.
No one had properly witnessed this scene. At least Kanisen understood the situation quickly.
‘You caught an armor-piercing round fired from close range? With teeth too?’
Surviving being hit by a bullet is common. Even if you learn a little qigong, wear sturdy clothes, or just be born healthy, you can withstand a bullet or two. Guns are useful, but not very powerful weapons.
But what about catching a flying bullet? It’s not an easy task for even a master, and even if he could, he wouldn’t even try with his teeth. If you fail, your fragile inner skin will be torn by bullets.
But Aji did it.
Aji chewed the steel bullet once, crumpled his face and spit it out. Crumpled bullets bounced off the ground. Aji shouted with a dissatisfied expression.
“It’s hot! stiff! It tastes awful!”
Crumpled bullets, tooth marks there.
It was time for the other resistances, who realized the situation belatedly, to raise their guns all at once.
“Stop shooting!”
At Kanisen’s remarks, they all put down their guns in shock, like students scolded by their teacher. Kanisen contorted his face and shouted.
“Who told you to shoot at will? Beta, didn’t I tell you not to shoot until I gave you my order?”
A young man called Beta hurriedly bowed his head.
“Sorry, I’m sorry.”
“You know, be still!”
After threatening him like that, Kanisen politely put his hands together and bowed his head toward Aji.
“Forgive the rudeness. We are short in learning, so we do not know which famous person you are. Could you please tell me your name?”
‘That dog beast, it’s not a rarity. When a battle breaks out… All die!’
Oh, he knows his subject and even apologizes first. It’s refreshing to see such an ordinary and normal person for the first time since coming down from Tantalus. Even me, a model citizen, seemed to become abnormal in this basement.
Of course, the sound comes only when they meet each other, so even if you act normally, you won’t get a normal reaction.
“bruise! I am a puppy!”
“puppy? Excuse me, but is that a nickname?”
“name! bruise! bruise! nice to meet you! nice to meet you!”
Kanisen stared blankly at Aji with a crazy face. He lost his direction for a moment and looked at me like he was hanging on.
“Hey, this gentleman.”
“ah. This is the trainee who stayed here. her name is dog He’s strong, but he’s heard that he’s a real dog, so we go out together like this from time to time.”
“The legendary dog king? No, even if it was Tantalus, such an existence.”
answer. even smart He seems to have a lot of knowledge about this and that.
Being polite, knowing how to be afraid of others, knowing the subject and knowing a lot. If there were trainees in this land, it would be nice if there were only such people.
ha. So it’s even more sad.
I mean, you have to kill this person.
Kanisen came to his senses and asked urgently.
“There are soldiers and other prisoners… No, are there any trainees left?”
“Oh, there are no soldiers. Instead, there are two or more trainees. But I’m too busy to sleep or do my own thing. If I don’t detonate a bomb, it won’t come out, right?”
“is it. A thousand blessings.”
‘Your spine is cold. At least two such beings… . No, since you said there was a jailbreak, there must have been a lot more people in jail than that. How the hell did the military catch those monsters?’
Kanisen was deeply troubled. Thoughts flowing all the time. I read his thoughts calmly, with a face that didn’t know anything.
‘It’s not a place to be sarcastic. If we don’t rush our plans, we might be stopped by the other prisoners of Tantalus. You have to get the job done as quickly as possible.’
Resistance is the enemy of the military.
Prisoners are also enemies of the military.
The enemy of the enemy is my friend. Especially if my enemy is strong.
Usually, when it comes to resistance, they choose a tactic that puts a great burden on the military by either enlisting prisoners or freeing them altogether.
But Kanisen had no intention of asking for help from the prisoners of Tantalus for some reason. As if that was not the purpose in the first place.
Why did Kanisen, a terrorist and resistance, come to Tantalus? Why did you hide in a supply box on the way to Tantalus while you were running?
Abyss Tantalus, cursed by the Earthmother, to a land from which there is no escape?
‘As long as you are in Tantalus, you cannot escape. Bombs for terrorism were all we had with us, who ran away in a hurry. How can this cause significant damage to the military… .’
Not simple. I muttered cynically.
What’s a terrorist’s job, other than terrorism?
‘The only thing, the symbol of oppression, is to completely destroy Tantalus and sink it into the bottom of the abyss.’
They’re just here to blow up. Regardless of whether you die.
