Strength of nature (1)
I knew it.
That Aris participated in the fortress assault operation was not simply because she was concerned about the safety of the citizens.
Also, where the faint doubt that existed inside her was headed.
In order to keep that doubt from turning into certainty, I should have acted much more thoroughly than now.
He should have tried to hide his spell, change his tone, and distance himself from her.
But even though Lennok knew that, the reason why he didn’t do that was because he felt pressure to succeed in the attack operation right away, but-.
It may have been because he had a complacent belief that Aris would forgive him even if he noticed all of this.
The belief that even if you look at Lennok with a cold face, he will sigh and tell you that it can’t be helped after hearing all the inside stories.
It was only now that Lennok was able to confirm his thoughts with such complacent thoughts in his heart.
The selfish desire that she would remain ignorant of all these secrets.
“….”
Every time I face the moment when I have to face someone’s heart like this, it reminds me of the fact that I forgot.
The bond of shadow hidden by Lennok’s transcendent talent.
The most lethal and dangerous characteristic of [Jaeinbakmyeong].
How much time is left?
Is it really right to drag someone into this endless cliff-running journey?
If it’s Aris, he’ll hurt with you. I will grieve with you
Because I know that well, I don’t want to see such a reaction even more.
They say pain is halved when shared.
Lennok didn’t believe the obvious.
If I had to cling to hope without a promise, I’d rather… … .
“Haaa….”
in the awkward silence.
Aris, who was staring up at the frozen Darby with her front paws raised, let out a deep sigh.
She closed her eyes for a moment and pondered, then glanced at Hina, who was standing right next to her.
He shook his head neatly.
“I guess I was mistaken.”
“Yes…did you?”
Aris nodded her head coolly at Lennok’s words.
“yes. The spirits I know aren’t that big and don’t wear strange masks.”
“….”
“Besides, I don’t have a cute personality enough to make such a cute cry.”
[…] … .]
Only then did Darby realize what he had done and slowly lowered his paw.
Could it be Lennok’s misunderstanding that the tip of his three wagging tails turned slightly red?
Aris, who quickly summarized the situation with just three words, closed her eyes again and leaned against the rock.
“You made me worry about something. I will focus on restoring my magic, so please wait a little longer.”
“Then I’ll look around and come back. The deputy director seems to be around here too.”
“…I’ll look around the fort and come back. There might be something useful left.”
Anyway, the desert area in this area has no difference in height, so the surrounding scenery is clearly visible.
I’ve dealt with all my enemies, so no one will be in danger, and if it happens, I’ll know right away.
Lennok responded and quickly took Darby to the nearby fortress he had destroyed.
I’ve been waiting for a good excuse to get out of the situation, but it’s not completely a lie.
Right after defeating Trefen, I ran into Aris and Hina, so I couldn’t harvest the loot properly.
[You feel like you’ve been completely fooled by the professor.]
The cyber spirit with the owner on his back murmured in a low voice.
[I will not easily forget this disgrace….]
“To forget is to forget.”
Darby asked Lennok as they strolled through the rubble of the collapsed mobile fort.
[Do you know or do you want to know? The attitude is so ambiguous that I don’t even know.]
“Aris is not stupid. On the contrary, he is much more shrewd than other people.”
In a way, it was only natural that Aris did not dig into Darby’s identity from the spot until the end.
No matter what her intentions were, her agent, Hina, was also with her.
Regardless of whether Hina Oneil could be trusted, she must have decided that revealing the relationship between Ban and Lennok was extremely dangerous.
“Perhaps you may think that you have already gained the confidence you were aiming for in this job….”
[I admit that there were more gaps than usual.]
“Whose side are you on?”
[I don’t know. I won’t do that again.]
Lennok smiled bitterly and stroked Darby’s head, who was pretending to be pouting while shaking his head.
Darby pretended not to know and silently accepted Lennok’s hand.
While scavenging among the ruins of the fortress to find useful items, the spirit’s magical power disappears and it gradually shrinks in size.
Even though it returned to its foxy form, it still had three tails.
Lennok, who casually put Darby in the inside pocket of his coat, rummaged among the rubble, found something, and stretched out his magician.
Kwajik!!
“found. I thought you would still be there.”
[This…Is it a fragment of the fort operation center?]
“It was an item that Gearside personally modified to make the trepen level 8. There will be room for more digging.”
Lennok, who had shredded the fragments of the arithmetic center shrunk to the size of a fist in his bosom, immediately walked away.
“This operation yielded more than expected. I will be a bit busier in the future.”
Although unintentional, Lennok learned a lot from witnessing Treffen’s unstable 8th-level Apocalypse Manifestation firsthand.
Clues and ways to jump over the hierarchy are also clues, but the most direct approach was the space jump he used inside the microcosm.
As a result, Lennok sensed the method of interfering with space several times during the battle, and found room to apply it to his space magic as well.
[The data has been secured, but the question is how effective it will be in practice.]
“Just reducing the magic efficiency a bit is enough. The consumption of mana is so extreme that it is almost impossible to use right now… … .”
Lennok thought about that and returned to the rock where Aris was resting.
Hina had already looked around and was sitting next to Aris, breathing quietly.
Lennok, without bothering to disturb them, sat at a distance and took out a cigarette.
profit!
Just as he was about to light the fire and fill it with smoke, Hina appeared next to him and snatched the tobacco away.
widely!
Lennok looked up at Hina with an absurd expression.
“What are you doing?”
“What are you doing?”
Hina said with a smile.
“Isn’t that something that someone ejected hundreds of meters from a fighter plane should ask first?”
“….”
“I think you have something to tell me.”
Lennok, who belatedly noticed a vein standing on her forehead, quietly kept his mouth shut.
There was a saying that I had in my heart, but it seemed that I hadn’t been able to say it because I was aware of the situation.
Lennok, who slightly averted his gaze, answered.
“There must have been a parachute in the ejected seat. He would not have died.”
“Are you saying that now?”
“…I admit it was a bit rough.”
Hina, who had been glancing at Lennok, let out a deep sigh and shook her head.
“That’s Okay. Anyway, thanks to the hard work of the two wizards, I’m going to say that I had a good experience.”
“A good experience?”
“yes. The one Aris-sama developed at the end of the battle.”
Tup!
Aris, who had been listening to the conversation between the two with a weak face, quickly raised her hand and covered Hina’s mouth.
Aris whispered to Hina with a smile on her face.
“We should have kept it a secret?”
“ah…sorry. I stop… … .”
Hina kept her mouth shut with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“Because I don’t want to reveal it to others yet.”
Aris, who slightly averted her gaze, replied with a calm expression.
“To be honest, even now it’s a bit overbearing because there are people I need to show it to first.”
“…Let’s take it to the grave.”
Reading the subtle gap in the conversation, Lennok faintly frowned.
It seems that the two of them also tried to some extent in the process of destroying the fortress.
Well, if it weren’t for that, there’s no way Aris would have walked out with Hina supporting her with such a tired expression.
Lennok stood up slowly as he watched the two of them become much closer than when they started the operation, perhaps because they shared a secret.
“I’ll have to contact the main unit.”
I can roughly guess what kind of magic Aris used.
And that it is polite among wizards not to ask about it right now.
Lennok understood it roughly, so he changed the topic appropriately.
“The magnetic storm is getting worse. We need to figure out the situation before the communication network on the satellite city side is completely cut off.”
A desert area full of sand without any obstacles.
However, due to the magnetic storm that blows near the undeveloped district, communication between the cities is completely cut off, and the satellite city of Delta, which is several kilometers away from here, is not visible.
As they had left the main force, including Ilya and Felix, in the vicinity of the city, they had to check the situation there and provide support if necessary.
The moment Lennok looked up at the self-torment, thinking about this and that.
“Ban.”
Hina suddenly called Lennok to stop.
Suddenly, her face hardened.
“I got a message from Senator Mayer.”
“…A message?”
The moment when even communication is difficult due to the magnetic storm that has begun to intensify.
In the vicinity of the desert area, communication with megacities is completely cut off.
How can Congressman Mayer send a message at a time like this?
“It is an emergency contact network that is only allowed for top-ranking agents. Space transfer using the best artifact hidden in the basement vault of the headquarters. It is a method that can be used once every two years as an emergency guideline that can transfer an object approximately the size of a finger.”
“You have something to tell us right now, even if you use those contacts.”
Aris continued with a hard face.
“Right before the operation started, the deputy director took over the authority and I kept the contact information….”
Saying that, Hina took out a thin chip from her bosom.
Lennok silently took the data chip and immediately plugged it into his phone.
A recorded voice message began to flow through the speaker.
[Ban Palad. are you listening anyone is fine Please forward this message to all allies now.]
Mayer’s voice was extremely urgent.
[The city government central council declared temporary martial law. The military, temporarily out of the ban, has marched out. It is an order to obliterate the National Guard and the hostile forces that caused the coup.]
The three people raised their heads and their eyes crossed at the same time.
[Communication was cut off due to a magnetic storm, so I can’t contact the generals there. This is our only means of contacting you. Run away from there right now!!]
Silence followed after the voice message.
There was a tense air between the three of them.
“What the hell do you mean by military?”
Aris pressed her temples and opened her mouth.
“You mean there is a military force completely different from the National Guard?”
“…I guess I have no choice but to judge that for now. It looks like Senator Mayer was in a big hurry.”
Lennok replied and looked at Hina.
“Is there anything you can guess from what the congressman just said?”
Hina Oneil is one of the agents who occupied a special position within the agent and moved around various departments.
It is possible that he is aware of a secret reserved only for high-ranking officials.
However, Hina shook her head with a confused expression.
“The word itself that there is a project to replace the National Guard force is circulating openly, but I have never witnessed the reality. However, in the words of the Director… … .”
“In words?”
“It was transferred to Area 13 and left the agent’s hands….”
“….”
It’s District 13, so wasn’t it a deceptive ploy to simply divert attention there?
It seems that there was an inside story left unheard by Treffen and Gearside.
However, it was impossible to hear about the situation from Trepen, who had now completely disappeared.
Lennok raised his head and made a quick decision.
“It moves. We have to move to the vicinity of the satellite cities and tell others about this.”
“Ban is right. We need to move before the city council’s new army shows up… … Are you Aris?”
Instead of answering Hina’s words, Aris raised her eyes toward the clouded sky.
Almost at the same time, Lenok, who had widened his senses and realized the same thing as her, frowned in silence.
Shortly thereafter, something emerges through the clouds through the blurry magnetic storm.
Koo Goo Goo!!!
A flying object so huge that it is impossible to guess its true size from the ground.
The steel ship made in the shape of a pentagon pushed back the magnetic storm and moved forward leisurely.
Black spheres rotate ceaselessly between circular holes that are pierced here and there, raising that gigantic flying object to the sky.
Should I call it a ship or an aerial fortress?
There is no need to ask what the project was going on in District 13, away from the agent’s hands.
It was only natural that a military force of that size would be conducted through other departments, not through agents.
The central council of the city government was building more air force power after clearing away the ground power of the National Guard.
While Hina looked back at the two with a puzzled expression, Aris opened her mouth.
“I am really disillusioned with the attitude of the city council.”
“I don’t think you are wrong.”
Lennok muttered as he looked up at the sky.
“Because no one would have thought they would kill the National Guard and make something like that.”
Woo woo woo woo… … !!
A strange vibrational sound spreads through the sky, and the ship gallops slowly over the heads of the three men.
[Trepen…That friend ended up leaving like this.]
An unfamiliar voice resounded beneath the ship that was leisurely flying in the sky.
[But on the other hand, I expected it. The only thing that can be entrusted to a man who can’t read the current is the role of captain of a crumbling ship.]
“….”
[At least he played the role very well. As the first opponent of our Balkan Air Force fleet.]
“Have you succeeded in building an airship that can withstand magnetic storms… … .”
It’s not that the city council lacked the technical skills and didn’t focus on bolstering its air force.
It is difficult to operate a ship of that size in an undeveloped area and near the outer front, where magnetic storms rage all the time.
This is because even though a small air vehicle the size of a fighter jet can block the invasion of private iron by sealing the seams, a ship cannot.
As a result, only army power, including mobile forts, was available on the outer front, but was the city government repeatedly preparing to obtain air force power?
Continued experimentation to build fleet strength in closed areas.
Every time the project was successful, the budget invested in the National Guard was diverted to the Air Force, and key figures who noticed it were called in and entrusted with the reorganization of the Air Force.
And the result of that and the first actual battle was that huge pentagonal ship.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee girl
From across the sky, the roaring noise of the engine reverberates.
Dozens of fighter jets took off from all over the ship.
At the same time, the gun doors on various parts of the ship were opened and all guns were turned and aimed at the middle of the desert.
Broken Mechanical Spheres and Fortress Unit 3.
And towards the position where the three people are standing.
[In that sense, you guys should keep your mouth shut here. In order for our major to be listed in the minutes of the Central Council meeting, we need a grand justification that the agent has failed] “
….”
[Three superhumans had already settled the matter before we even arrived…. Isn’t it a story that doesn’t taste good even if you think about it?]
“It wasn’t a situation where I couldn’t get in touch with Mayer.”
Lennok muttered as he inspected every nook and cranny of the ship with his eyes narrowed.
“I had no intention of getting in touch with you from the beginning.”
[Please understand with an open mind. It’s not every day or two that idiots who roam the back alleys of the city die for unknown reasons.]
A voice that had resonated somewhere slowly subsided.
[Actually, I don’t need you guys to understand.]
Kiyiing… … !!
Hundreds of bullets protruding from all over the ship illuminating the magic light.
It wouldn’t matter if it covered a huge area like a satellite city, but if that bombardment was concentrated on this spot, the destructive power would be enormous.
The three of them quickly raised their mana and began to roll their heads individually.
“I will take the first bombardment.”
Lennok glanced at Aris as he signed the summoning seal.
“In the meantime, let’s find a way to get that ship out of the air.”
“You can’t let it get close to the satellite city.”
Hina answered quickly.
“Unlike a mobile fortress that moved on the ground, a ship floating in the air could be unilaterally bombarded and killed.”
“First, let’s move towards the fortress we destroyed. Build a barricade there and find a way to reach the ship-”
“Wait.”
Aris interrupted the two of them and pointed to a corner of the sky.
“That…what is it?”
Woooooo!!!
Above the ship’s sky. A pure white light was shining through the empty spaces in the sky that no one cared about.
Running upside down toward the ground, it fell like a meteor, drawing a line of heavy light.
Something that had fallen from a high altitude hit the upper level of the ship directly.
Several circular shockwaves exploded over the fuselage of the huge ship, creating huge ripples.
Woooooooooooooo!!
The huge pentagonal ship, which had been heating up its muzzle, tilted sharply to one side and its lights flickered like crazy.
[…] … !!!]
The raucous noise coming from inside the ship makes us guess how flustered they are by the current situation.
But such confusion is fleeting. The shockwaves that hit me once more overlapped and burst out, as if squeezing everything.
A meteor that fell vertically from the sky crushed the entire ship and rammed the huge aircraft to the ground.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhful
screams and pentagonal ships are under the sand of the desert.
Koo Goo Goo Goo!!!!
A shaking of the earth’s axis occurred, and a huge wind of sand swept in all directions, turning the ground upside down.
Lennok and Aris almost simultaneously deploy their shields in all directions. Leaving only a minimum space, I received the aftermath intact.
The sand around the circular shield was pushed like a wave, creating a huge pit.
The ship, which boasted a majestic appearance a while ago, was turned into a lump of junk in the blink of an eye.
Hina, who was standing behind the two of them, muttered with a dumbfounded face.
“What the hell is this…?”
“Things are taking a strange turn.”
Aris looked at the landing site where the ship fell and said.
In a messy landscape where you can’t see properly due to the sand wind that hasn’t gone away.
It’s hard to figure out what’s going on now.
“Just now, that magic power didn’t belong to any of our forces. It seems that there was an outsider’s intervention targeting the Air Force ship… … half?”
Aris accepted the pencil that Lennok gave her and put on a bewildered expression.
Lenok said while throwing Enakpil’s five fingers into Hina’s arms.
“We must run away right now.”
His face, unlike before, was hardened.
“The ship is not the problem. Just that magic… … !!”
Woooooooooo!!
At the point where the ship landed, a huge shockwave erupted once more, sweeping away the sand and dust in the vicinity.
The first thing that catches your eye is a huge pentagonal ship that has been horribly damaged.
As if it were a lie, what was floating majestically in the sky just a moment ago has been destroyed in half, revealing its interior intact.
Crew members groan and bleed inside the wrecked ship’s structure.
And at the heart of all that destruction.
A giant in the shape of a crocodile was crouching down.
Even though it is crouching, its size is as majestic as Mount Tai.
The scales, which were so hard that they glowed dark green, and the tail that stood upright like a rebar.
The lifeblood flowing from the elongated snout and bright yellow eyes peeking out behind it is overwhelming enough to freeze the whole body.
The crocodile giant, who slowly lifted his head, met Lennok’s eyes at the same time.
Only one person twisted the corner of his mouth.
“It’s been a while, sweetheart.”
Even now, when I close my eyes, I remember it clearly.
The factory raid that he went out after receiving his second request as a freelancer.
Like the memory of the day when I felt the danger of my life for the first time.
The croken asilus stood before Lennok’s eyes.
