173 – If a timid guy turns black, there’s nothing scarier than that (3)
Wow, I’m going crazy.
That was Hans’ impression of seeing the steel thunderbolt up close. To be precise, I didn’t see it from close range. He saw the main gun standing majestically over the wall.
Even if it’s simply based on size, he easily overcomes castles. Even the main gun was in a state of not knowing that it was high in the sky. Hans looked at it as if it were absurd, then turned his head away.
Cluna and Clara met Hans’ eyes and avoided his gaze. Because, they also had a stake in making that. Hans was dumbfounded. Did you really make that?
“So you’re saying that all kinds of technology and resources went into that thunderbolt of steel?”
“Yes, I heard that 20% of the iron ore in the Dwarf Principality was used to make it.”
“In addition, demon technology is also included.”
“You guys retrieved it… You mean?”
Clara quietly shut her mouth at Hans’s sting. Hans sighed. I wonder if it’s possible to catch demons with demons’ things. Think of killing people with guns in modern times.
I thought it was a possible story. And I wouldn’t know if I used it clumsily in the first place. I don’t think the best technicians and blacksmiths of the Dwarf Principality would make such a mistake.
Even the magic part was inspected by Cluna herself. Among the technologies actually recovered, there were quite a few that the demons planted as traps. Should i like this
“To think he would even use the things of the demons he hated so much. Isn’t he called a tyrant for nothing?”
Destroy the enemy using everything available. Indeed, it is a way of thinking close to a tyrant. Hans stuck out his tongue. What on earth did I do, how did that gentle Bayard become like this?
For Hans, who had good feelings for Bayard, the feeling of pity was greater than anger or disappointment. However, he couldn’t just keep his tongue out at his feet, saying it was a pity.
I had to say something. Before Bayard crosses the line. Putting aside the extermination of the demons, if the aftermath reaches the continent. Innocent people will die too. It just had to be stopped.
“I must hurry.”
“Okay.”
“It’s not empty talk, it’s sincere.”
Bayard, who was so timid and thought for others, is willing to risk even harming innocent people. This also proved that Bayard was cornered and ruined.
Wouldn’t Cluna and Clara be burning with hate uncharacteristically right now and fighting to the death? And, no matter how you look at it, there is only one destination after accomplishing the ruined cause.
Suicide. To end one’s own life. In a way, it was natural. How many people can do such a thing and still be sane? Hans quickly moved his steps.
“You cannot enter without permission.”
“…….”
And I was cut right at the entrance. This is because the beastmen who guard the Thunder Hammer are thoroughly guarding it. Of course, Cluna tried to solve it herself, but they were unsteady.
“Why not? Me and Clara are your collaborators and co-developers?”
“Even so, what is not possible is not possible.”
“Who the hell gave you that order?”
“The chief ordered it himself.”
“If it’s the chief… Bayard himself…?!”
Oh my god.
Realizing that the situation was getting more serious than he thought, Hans felt his heart grow impatient. If he had been short-tempered, he would have forced his way in using the time stop.
However, the bit of rationality left in Hans stopped him from doing such a thing. He says he’ll go in and meet him in person, but will Bayard stop acting? I don’t think so.
If you are at a disadvantage, step back and redefine your plan. That was the lesson Hans had learned from all his experiences so far. To put that lesson into practice, Hans stepped back.
“Let me calm down and think again.”
“Let’s just sneak over the wall and enter.”
“…….”
It’s Clara, it’s Clara. What did you hear about what I just said? Hans responded with a tired sigh. It’s not a problem that can be solved by just going in and meeting Bayard.
“This issue needs to be approached a little more carefully.”
“Why?”
“I’ve already worked this far. There’s no way it can be solved simply by meeting.”
The Dwarven Principality used a lot of iron to make that. It was barely made with technology using everything else. Even to create a single-use weapon that will be destroyed when used.
But when we met in person, the truth was that I was still alive. I don’t want this, so if you tell me to stop quickly. Would Bayard stop behaving while replying that he understood?
At least Hans thought so. No, even if you think about it common sense, you can see that it’s right. But Clara seems to think the opposite way. He said while tilting his head.
“Of course. Our captain is back.”
“So, I mean…”
“I think it makes a lot of sense.”
The time when Hans tried to convince Clara somehow. Cluna, who was immersed in her thoughts as she listened quietly to her side, affirmed Clara’s words. Hans said with an angry expression.
“Cluna, you too?”
“It’s not bullsh*t, chief. It’s quite possible.”
“…….”
Hans shook his head. Now i don’t know
* * *
The strategy devised by Cluna was as follows.
Sneaking over the castle walls and stunning the sentries. After that, sneak inside, trace the traces of Bayard, and somehow arrange a meeting with Hans. That will solve the problem.
No matter how you look at it, the plan was not one or two problems. Since there were no sharp tips, Hans had no choice but to reluctantly affirm. I’ll have to meet him first, I’ll be able to convince him or something.
However, I never dreamed that it would be discovered from the start. Hans sighed and looked at the soldiers in front of him. I could see the beastmen who were all burdened with their upper chests open.
The reason I was caught was dumbfounded. As soon as I secretly crossed the wall at night, I was immediately surrounded by soldiers. As if he had been reading the movements of this side. Cluna looked at Hans and apologized.
“I’m sorry. I never thought things would turn out like this…”
“I am the one who authorized the operation. So the responsibility lies with me.”
“Captain…”
Cluna had a moved expression on her face at Hans’ words. It was natural for Hans. Because that’s the head, and the weight of being the leader. Then, someone stepped out.
“Sorry for the sweet talk. Could you look at me for a moment?”
“……Familiar voice…… you, can’t you?”
“I couldn’t believe it. You really are alive.”
It was a familiar voice. At the same time, it was a voice I hadn’t heard in a long time. Before long, Hans saw the figure of a certain girl. Unlike before, a girl with a bobbed hair by cutting his hair short.
“It’s nice to see you again. My name is Yooyoung.”
A girl who was the leader of the 12 tribes and the chieftain of the Rat tribe. Yooyoung led the soldiers and came out himself. Seeing that, Hans clicked his tongue. Could it be that you predicted it with that short piece of information?
“Long time no see, still great.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“Well, fine. I’d like to compromise if possible.”
“For what?”
From noble mtl dot com
“To save Bayard.”
Not to mention Yoo-Young at Hans’s answer that was so confident. The beastmen nearby also flinched. If it was like before, I would have tried to get out of this situation with excuses and excuses like this.
However, Hans stopped doing that. He didn’t want to be in the dark anymore. Because of that ambiguous attitude, this division arose. Of course, their actions were not good.
However, at least in order to talk face to face. It was necessary to abandon the vague attitude of the past. Soon, a bleak spirit appeared on Yooyoung’s face. She said coldly.
“It seems that you visited for an impure purpose.”
“We are not like that…”
“Please, would you like to leave? The great work is not far off.”
A word from Yooyoung was like a cold dagger. Not to mention Clara and Lua. Even that Cluna, even for a moment, she couldn’t say anything. However, he was different.
“Is it an impure purpose for me, the leader, to save my members?”
“…….”
“It’s really the same.”
Even though it’s in the past. The ruler who once ruled all 12 tribes. Against such a ruler, Hans stood up without retreating. Cluna and Clara admired inwardly.
‘I can’t believe I won’t be pushed back against Yooyoung. As expected, our captain.’
‘How much I missed that back view.’
‘f*ck. Don’t you move quickly?’
Indeed, Hans was only getting annoyed. More than he has a dragon heart in the first place. It was Hans who couldn’t be pushed back by the momentum. They couldn’t know that.
“Are you trying to get past this place somehow?”
“Of course not.”
“Even if all the beasts stop you?”
“If you must.”
The moment Hans decided that further conversation was useless, he slowly put his hand on the handle of the new sword worn around his waist. Suddenly, Yooyoung knelt down on her knees. Then he looked at Hans and said.
“I’m sorry, Captain Hans. Please forgive me for the rudeness of putting you to the test.”
“A test?”
“Yes.”
Yooyoung opened her mouth with a desperate tone that was not like her.
“Please, save my friend.”
