EP.171 A story from a distant place. Prophet of all dogs
『Military radio operator Yuel informs all units deployed near Amitengrad.
』
The voices uttered by each and every one of them were relayed to nearby units on dozens of golems synchronized with her.
The Capital Defense Forces, the military police, and the supply and security units. I stopped what I was doing and quietly listened to the voice coming from the communication golem.
『Currently, four objects with a level 5 danger are rapidly approaching the military capital. It is heading in a straight line near the northeast, and the estimated time of arrival is about two hours later.]
There is a communication facility in Amitengrad, the military capital. In addition, a communications soldier is always on standby in case the heavy and prominent communication facilities are damaged for some reason. I’m sure there is at least one, but I don’t know how many more. Because it is confidential.
In any case, it was an order sent directly from the center of the military, so all units held their breath and waited for the next words.
『Cannot be stopped by normal troops of level 3 or lower. 4th level troops can delay operation, but there is no actual damage. For an efficient suppression operation, it is estimated that at least 5 level troops and 2 generals are needed.”
However, all nearby troops had to hold their breath at the signal soldier’s calm evaluation.
5 level troops and 2 soldiers. This combination is an anti-war power. It means that when you have to fight a country, you must have the elite of the elites to take out to effectively subdue these four.
Even effective suppression does not necessarily mean less damage to allies.
How many will die in this little war?
『However, their violence is extremely low. To date, no casualties have been reported in the fighting, and it is expected that casualties will be minimal or non-existent even if they are away. For this reason, it is judged that avoidance of engagement is reasonable. I issue an order to actively avoid engagement to all units in the vicinity of Amitengrad.”
Some were relieved and some frowned upon hearing that they were not harming civilians.
The relief of not having to fight such a strong person.
Still, he is a soldier, but he is dissatisfied with the question of whether it is acceptable to give him even the capital.
Anyway, the strong people like that don’t live forever, but if you treat them moderately, they protest that it won’t go away.
However, they refute that it makes no sense to lose face if we leave the violation of the national territory unattended.
A cry for disobeying orders and going out to fight.
If it was really normal, I would sacrifice my life to punish the intruder, but I justified myself by saying that I would take care of it because of the order.
『Direct avoidance of guard units that are expected to reach the movement route. Bring all your gear and head to Supply Base 3. The Capital Defense Forces issue evacuation orders except for the Defense Command.”
Anyway, you must obey the order. The officers immediately urged the men to pack up and gather their equipment.
To actively evade engagement.
But nobody in the military knew.
That the four, who were trying to actively evade the engagement, had already entered Amittengrad under cover of night.
High-ranking vampires can handle the darkness and swim in thick shadows.
Much higher than the tallest building in Amittengrad. A bright red and ominous double star looked down at the military capital.
“…Is this the royal capital of the military kingdom?”
Amitengrad, which had been said to be the capital of the military nation, had a very different appearance from Tyrkanjaka’s idea.
There is no majestic castle built with wealth gathered from all over the place. The huge walls covering the city for a long time also did not exist in Amittengrad.
Instead, Amitengrad seemed to crush the enemy with only its size, like a huge dragon crouching down.
For density and warmth, the residence is a duplex that is stacked unconditionally.
Faint streetlights stand in a row between the squarely cut sections.
Some places emit light like a lighthouse even in the dark.
Countless people were walking the streets like corpses at night.
A quiet night after the sun had completely set in the west and the shadows covered the sky. Tyrkanjaka muttered as he floated alone and looked at the panoramic view of Amittengrad.
“…It’s very big. It is as if dozens of cities are connected to each other. Even though humans are small enough to look like ants, the city cannot be seen at a glance. The saying that there are countless people… now I understand a little bit.”
Shay, who was floating with the wind wrapped around her body, answered.
“First of all, it is the city where the most people live in the military. The population alone is almost one million…”
“How do you find Hugh among so many people?”
“That’s what I was curious about, too. don’t worry. Because there is a way.”
It was impossible for Shay to filter out just one person among the countless people who filled the city. However, Shay was a regressor and had at least a tool or two to prepare for such a situation.
“There are three ways to find people in the military.”
Saying that, Shay intended to explain the three things one by one. However, Tyrkanjaka spoke without worrying at all.
“Let’s write it all down.”
“no. That’s unrealistic.”
“Writing with your right arm doesn’t stop your left arm, so why can’t you write even though there are three means? If it’s a method that can’t be used in the first place, why put it on the list of options?”
Listing the options, I tried to explain a little about this country, but Shay, who was suddenly admonished, answered a little downcast.
“First, ask the military to find him. The military is a player in finding out its own people. The problem is…”
“Good. Let’s go.”
Tirkanjaka happily waved his fingers, as if he didn’t care about the problem. The huge coffin floating in the air began to move forward through the darkness and shadows.
Shay hurriedly moved her angel and caught up with her.
“…no! You should also listen to the problem! There’s no way the military will listen to us properly!”
“If we find them, they will move too. If they listen to our request with kindness, that’s fine.”
“What if the military tries to take hostages?”
“they?”
Tirkanjaka smiled shyly.
“Is that going to happen? Will they, whom we did not fight for fear, hold him in conflict with us? Unless you want the country to burn.”
Tyrkanjaka accurately pointed out the intention of the country called the military state.
She was born as the daughter of a poor doctor, but after being reborn as the progenitor, she led tens of thousands of troops alone and reigned as the absolute. He knelt down in front of her and swore allegiance to her kingdom, and even took part in politics unwillingly.
“Active avoidance of engagement. What a grandiose package. No matter what they say, they don’t want to waste their energy on us, who have no hostility. Then there is no reason not to use them.”
A figure was reflected in Tyrkanjaka’s eyes as he muttered and looked down.
The king of the dog who walks along the streets of Gunguk as if it were his own courtyard.
Tyrkanjaka muttered, narrowing his eyes.
“Even if it’s not me anyway, I’ll have to negotiate with the military.”
The king of the dog, not the progenitor, and the horse.
District 1 Capital Defense Headquarters.
An intruder appeared at their headquarters, where they were sitting at the headquarters, splitting up and scattering troops.
The sentry was unaware of the intruder. Because the intruder had entered too proudly, her dress was too foreign, and at the same time there was no hostility.
The intruder who walked proudly through the gate saw the first human he encountered and immediately spoke to him.
“human. Call your king.”
Just then, Major Lictos of the Capital Defense Headquarters narrowed his eyes.
It was a busy time now that the introduction order had come down. He is very dissatisfied with the fact that his job is to run away while wearing a proud rank insignia, but a prisoner girl suddenly approaches, wagging her tail vigorously, and makes a strange request.
“what? How did you get here?”
Suin replied.
“Call your king.”
“This is a secure facility. Get off immediately.”
“Call your king.”
“If you don’t leave immediately, I will attack you!”
“Call your king.”
Seeing the beastman repeating the same words as if he were a parrot, Major Riktos, running out of patience, pulled out his saber and aimed at Aji.
“The warning is over! I will kill you!”
thud. He took a step and swung his saber. The concrete floor cracked open just by stepping on it. Pulling the ground at once with his claw machine, he struck down the sword as if splitting firewood. The sound of the wind cutting was fierce.
up
The sound of iron grinding against teeth was several times more horrifying than that.
Major Riktos staggered backwards from the shock of nearly snapping his wrist. He braced his trembling body and looked down at his beloved sword. Above the handle, the blade of the saber was half gone.
Traces of teeth coming out, not teething. When the stunned Major Riktos opened his eyes.
“Call your king.”
Only then did Major Riktos see the prisoner girl in front of him again.
A girl with her ears and tail erect against the backdrop of a dark full moon. Her eyes were friendly, but there was an inexplicable sense of authority and dignity.
Like a gentle king who cares about his people…
Major Riktos, who helped to destroy the kingdom and create an army, gritted his teeth in reluctance.
“We have no king, beast. Unlike you.”
A word that has the meaning of contempt for beastmen and is intended to provoke the opponent.
However, the beast girl nodded and accepted the words.
“Wang Mayor, Village Chief, Maripgan Chairman, Sovereign Lord, Emperor General. The name doesn’t matter. me only I need to meet with your representative.”
The representative of the Defense Headquarters is the Defense Commander General Buidun. He was one of the great stars of the military that made great strides in various battlefields with strong military force.
However, it is a relatively safe capital. It is said that his qigong is as strong as other generals, but it is by no means the level of a general.
If that girl does anything to harm the captain…
the headquarters will be destroyed.
“Wouldn’t it open the way for an intruder like you!!”
Major Riktos shouted with a blood clot in his neck. This was a desperate resolution, but also a signal to those who were watching the situation from behind.
Riktos prayed in his heart. Please, hoping someone knows what he means.
Paradoxically, the beast girl was the first to understand his meaning.
The beast-in-law answered with her tail hanging down.
“You don’t like talking to me.”
It is assertive and true at the same time.
Riktos hated monsters that cut flying knives with their teeth. The fact that it was a prisoner only aroused more fear and hatred.
The girl saw him sending her fear and loathing. He felt the fear in his eyes. He also knew that he was the one who created that fear.
I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.
that it is human.
“Still, you must keep your promise.”
“I don’t know the promise! If you want to meet someone without talking nonsense, go through that process!”
Of course, Riktos had no intention of letting him meet even if he went through the procedure, and he had no right to do so. I was just trying to use the procedure as an excuse to take my time.
And Major Riktos’ efforts were rewarded.
“You pulled the time well, Major Ricktos!”
Another voice was heard. Riktos and the beast girl raised their heads at the same time. At the main entrance to the headquarters building, a general with a single star raised his arm with a twitching mustache.
“Your efforts were not in vain! Thanks to you, we are also ready!”
Following his gesture, heavily armed troops descended from all over the defense headquarters.
That’s the captain, that’s the major. Each soldier is at least a lieutenant rank, and a field rank is also common.
Just before the evacuation order, they had all their gear and weapons packed.
Excluding the troops that had already departed, the elite numbered only 200 officers. This is the maximum force that can be gathered in the capital right now, considering that jobs below a certain level are only a hindrance.
“All troops!”
chuck.
All at once, the officers put their military uniforms into the packets.
Cjalak cjalak.
A huge iron plate splits like scales and rises. A bright blue alchemy glow shone through the gaps between the iron pieces and chains aligned along the Aki Avatar. Steel interlocked and scales covered their bodies, transforming the officers into full-armoured warriors.
sword spear gun axe. The officers slowly approached, wearing flawless armor and carrying weapons that matched their qi. Cool air raged on the blade.
Some hesitated and asked again while wearing military uniforms.
“for a moment! Didn’t the introduction order come down! We must not go against them!”
“There is no way beyond what has already been caught up. Are you going to hand over the commander like this!”
The intimidating general glared at Aji again and shouted.
“Disarm now and surrender!”
The girl who had been looking at the general for a long time.
“…not enough.”
The deputy commander of the Defense Headquarters shook his head even after seeing the general with one star shining.
decisively and decisively.
“You are not qualified. can’t represent Not even that fragment of your king.”
Who can say that the generals of the military lack qualifications? A 4th-level citizen, a strong man who commanded numerous soldiers under his command, and used qigong to achieve gungong.
The general shouted in a fit of rage at the attitude of ignoring him.
“We are a military nation that was born by destroying the royal family! There is no such thing as a king! If you are looking for a king, go to another country!”
At that, Aji raised his head.
A sparkling light shone in the softly curved eyes. It was not the stars in the night sky, but numerous weapons sharpened in blue. A variety of weapons embracing the ferocious light and hiding murderous intentions underneath.
I was used to it. I would make a promise with the dog king and use it in exchange for not keeping it. But the dog king was always betrayed.
The former king and the current Aji are different entities, but the existence as a king has been inherited. How meaningless promises become in the face of danger.
still.
“You don’t have to be the king. You can be a general. If only you had the right to face me. If even a part of it is qualified to represent humans.”
Still, Aji had to find a person or organization to fulfill his promise.
Because you need a shepherd to defeat the wolf.
“Come in front of me and remember your promise.”
A black dot appeared on Aji’s forehead.
Jang was perplexed. I thought someone had shot her in the forehead.
But once on the fact that the gunshots are not heard.
Again, the fact that the mole on Aji’s forehead is gradually growing.
that this is not a gunshot wound.
In the first place, I realized that this phenomenon itself is not an ordinary thing.
Crick crick.
The sound of a sharp carving knife scraping and digging the space was heard. As the sound grew louder, black cracks formed along the lines of Aji’s forehead. The cracks distorted and merged to form a single shape.
Someone looked at the figure and muttered.
“…Crown?”
As he said, a crown as if made by weaving plant stems was born out of nothing.
It started on Aji’s forehead and continued to the back of his head. As if growing while encroaching on the space itself, the crown made a crackling sound and circled Aji’s head half a turn. And without going further, it stopped.
“I kept my promise. I waited in the abyss.”
Aji raised his head. Accordingly, the crown floating in the space a hand’s head away moved along Aji’s head.
Like an angel’s ring that proves its identity by itself, without any support.
Only then did Jangseong recall the opponent’s existence.
“…Prophecies from the King of Dogs?”
The king of beasts representing all beasts.
They just have the characteristics of a beast and live a normal life no different from other beasts.
however.
The king of beasts who chooses to speak or act on behalf of all the beasts.
Get the strength and qualifications to do so.
Wearing a half-split crown made by weaving stems that do not exist in the world, Aji came here as the king of dogs.
Even though they are dogs that love and are loyal to humans, their hearts and wills are not in the hands of humans.
The Dog King declared on behalf of all dogs.
“Now it’s your turn to keep your promise.”
