46 – I honestly don’t know what to do
“Ugh… Ugh… Ugh… ”
Trees and bushes growing densely.
Crossing it, he began to run forward with all his might.
The forest road is so narrow that it is not easy to pass, let alone obstruct the view.
The figure of the man passing through it lightly reminded me of a non-human beast.
at that time.
-bang! bang! bang!
Countless bullets flying towards it, which is showing rapid movement.
In response, it twisted its body like a nimble beast to avoid it.
But.
“Keugh!”
No matter how much it moved like the wind, it was impossible to avoid all the countless bullets flying at a speed that surpassed even the wind.
The ability to defend has long since run out,
Although he narrowly avoided vital points due to overgrown trees and bushes, the small wounds that began to form all over his body were gradually reducing its strength.
‘not… do… like this… I can’t be beaten like this… ‘
It moves its body with all its might while feeling confused due to excessive bleeding.
But…
“!!”
Immediately after that, its footsteps, which did not know how to stop, had no choice but to stop.
At this moment, a huge cliff appeared in front of its eyes.
Faced with a wall so high that it is impossible to jump even with your own abilities.
For a moment, the light of despair began to shine on its face.
And.
“Ugh… Ugh… I finally got it!”
“Annoying bastard, do you think you dare escape from our hands?”
People walking out of the forest breathing heavily.
Those wearing red military uniforms unique to the Imperial Army,
The figures who appeared to be native warriors aimed their guns at it as it reached a dead end.
“According to the Warchief’s order, I will execute you on the spot!”
They make a declaration without hesitation.
looking at it,
It bit its lip until it bled and straightened the dagger in its hand.
It was a useless action in the current situation where even mana had run out.
Even so, instead of begging for its life, it glared at them with a cold expression without losing its fighting spirit until the very end.
Of course, the pursuers did not feel any sense of crisis about her actions…
“launch!”
-bang! bang!
Innumerable bullets fired right at it according to the signal.
In a state where there was no longer any strength left to evade, it reflexively closed its eyes tightly, anticipating its own death.
‘Great soul… please… my lack… ‘
It is to pray to Him once again just before death.
By the way…
“… ?”
next moment,
Questioning the fact that even after a while, the sensation of pain that was supposed to be felt is not felt.
It slowly began to open its eyes.
immediately after that,
The scene before your eyes.
that is…
“!…”
*
A great plain located beyond the Epal Mountains.
There is an endless expanse of grassland.
Looking at the place where the warm wind blows, I couldn’t help but automatically admire.
‘Approximate. It’s a place I’ve seen many times in the game, but the feeling is completely different from seeing it in real life!’
A majestic scene that is clearly different from the scene seen through the hard screen.
For me, who has been living in a forest of buildings, the clear view of the horizon gave me a feeling as if it made my heart pierce.
It was the time when I was captivated by deep emotions for a while as I looked at that place, which was the domain of the Morks.
“What are you so excited about? Haven’t you seen a scenery like this many times before?”
“ah… Yes, it is, but… Still, this scene is quite impressive every time I see it.”
To Franklin’s words, I answered slightly awkwardly,
Looking at me like that, she said with a light smile on her lips.
“Whoops… is it? Unexpectedly, there is a rather emotional side to it.”
Fortunately, General Franklin speaks in a light voice as if an appropriate excuse worked well.
However, soon after, she put on a serious expression again and spoke slowly as she turned her head.
“But now is not the time to be sentimental. Compared to what needs to be done right now, time is running out.”
“I see what you mean. Then let’s hurry up and do this.”
At General Franklin’s words, I put aside a little excitement and started riding my horse after her.
As she said, we were never in a situation where we could afford that.
We crossed the Eiffel Mountains to stop the complete union of the Morks and the British Empire.
In this group were only me, General Franklin, Jane, who was appointed adjutant this time, and a handful of soldiers.
No matter how urgent the situation, the northern forts could not be left empty, and as much as we had to prepare immediately if something went wrong, most of the troops were currently left in the north under the temporary command of General Benelita.
and now,
We were entrusted with the role of having to stop the tens of thousands of Mok tribes with only this small number of people.
“As far as I know, there are currently quite a few tribes among the Mok who are unhappy with the alliance with the Empire. Of course, if the Empire makes unconventional conditions, I don’t know how they will change, but until then, there will still be room for persuasion.”
“Is that why you brought Lieutenant Jane?”
“Yes, it is. If we can convey the fact that the Imperial Army is not one to keep promises, there will be a possibility.”
“mind… Please leave it to me. I… I’ll do my best!”
Jane shows her determination in her own way at my words.
But,
Even while listening to this story, I couldn’t erase the thought that this alone was not enough in many ways.
There was a clear difference between the rebels, who lived in a new place as their ancestors came over from the mainland of the British Empire and settled here, and the Mok people, the indigenous people of this place.
As much as the basic customs and culture, as well as the appearance, are clearly different. There is a possibility that Jane’s story will not touch them that much.
In that respect,
I thought that there was a need for a more decisive opportunity to change their minds, but unfortunately, I haven’t come up with anything clear about it yet.
‘In the current situation, I think it might be more realistic to summon the angels and persuade the Imperial Army… Well, it would be almost impossible as long as that bastard Neto is practically sitting on his head… ‘
Like that, while feeling frustrated about the part where the solution is not visible right now.
At the same time, despite this, he is looking forward to the ‘quest’, which gives him the feeling that if he takes action, he will find a way. I started following General Franklin into the forest road in silence.
at that time…
“… for a moment.”
“!”
next moment,
In a situation where you haven’t fully descended the mountain yet
General Franklin suddenly stops talking.
And at about the same time
Realizing why she stopped moving, I started to raise my guard.
“General, this is… ”
“Be careful. There may be enemies.”
The smell of gunpowder and blood in the nose.
And, the flow of magical power felt calm.
That there was a battle nearby… Or, in response to those hinting that they were connected, we immediately got off our horses and began preparing for battle.
at that time.
“Catch it!”
“Run away over there!”
A voice so loud that the entire forest below it resonated.
Recognizing that the sound of chasing someone was getting louder and louder, we began to raise our guard even more.
And.
– Phat!
The next moment, something like a sleek beast emerges from the bush under the cliff where we are.
Black hair tied in a ponytail on brown skin.
And,
A woman with bright green eyes.
Her whole body is covered in blood, and she sees the cliff right in front of her eyes…
To be precise, facing the place we were standing on, we stopped walking.
“That… ?”
“From the looks of it, it appears to be a Mok tribe. By the way… ”
Shortly thereafter, another group of people started following her in the bushes.
The moment we recognized who they were, we automatically couldn’t help but frown.
“Mok warriors… And the authors are the Imperial Army.”
“Right… And now that look… ”
right after that. The Imperial army and the Mork warriors point their guns at the Mork woman.
Looking at them, General Franklin gathered his magic and spoke in a cold voice.
“I think I know roughly what’s going on… Captain Cromwell?”
“All right. I’ll take care of the woman’s side. General, please dispose of them.”
I don’t know, but if our enemy, the Imperial Army, is the target of hostility, it must be an existence that has the potential to become an ally to us.
At the same time, as well as gathering information, we immediately jumped off the cliff while deploying magic and aura.
*
A scene that suddenly began to appear before my eyes.
that is…
It was the first scene she had seen since she was born, and at the same time.
It was also a scene she had been hearing from the moment she was born.
Something with white wings and radiating an extremely sacred aura.
And,
Looks like its owner…
A human male with light brown hair and white skin.
The moment he saw the figure that clearly protected him from the imperial army.
automatically in her mouth.
A word started flowing.
“stomach… great… soul?”
Spirit of hunger kekeke
Damn you stomach great soul
