265. To Kill (9)
Lirinel likes Deon Hart. It is not the sexual meaning that people often talk about.
A more noble and blind kind than that. She smiled softly toward the communication table for someone who couldn’t be seen.
The other person, who had been silent as if the example was quite shocking, asked.
– …Why so much?
“well.”
When the position of Commander of the 0 Corps opened up and Deon Hart came in, she received an unfamiliar type of affection for the first time in her life.
Would you say that even in the human world, it is affection that comes from a form of care for immature individuals, that is, children? As a corps commander, it could be seen as an insult, but the subtle affection given by the object of reverence, who always pretended not to be and hit the wall with sharp edges, gave him an inexplicable sense of pleasure and joy.
“Mr. Deon… um, I mean… Ah! Sweet! You’re sweet!”
– …I?
“yes.”
The response was that they couldn’t even understand, let alone agree, but Lirinel remained steadfast.
After all, doesn’t being an immature individual mean a weak person? In a world where it is natural for the weak to be left behind, the reason he takes care of them as if it were natural is because Deon Hart is good.
When she came to her senses, she was already immersed in the kindness of that goodness.
‘I’m sure Deon doesn’t know.’
You might just think it’s because of your appearance.
Of course, it’s not that looks don’t matter at all… or rather, it can be seen as a big deal…!
If it weren’t for the unfamiliar foundation of affection based on affection, I wouldn’t have been so blind.
‘Of course I have no intention of telling you.’
You’ll probably never know.
– Uh… okay… thank you.
There was a lot to say, but the answer came back hesitantly, as if he didn’t want to argue.
– Well… there’s nothing more to say, right? hang up
“Yes! Not… I don’t know if I can tell you this, but I’m telling you because I think it would be good to report it first…”
– …What is it?
“Uhm…”
Can I say this?
For a moment, Ririnel wondered if it might fall within the scope of the Demon King’s warning not to use one’s mouth carelessly, but then she began to speak.
“The Demon Cult that has entered the human world is currently on the verge of extinction.”
This news was already delivered to the current emperor when he wiped out the Demon Cult base, so it would be safe to say.
At that time, only a small number survived, but this time they used it to eliminate the leader of the revolutionary army and almost all of them were used up.
I swallowed my last words and continued.
“Actually, it’s better to say it’s over…”
– Really?
“Of course, if you try hard, it won’t be impossible to get it back up again, so if you want…!”
– No, that’s okay. Even if it wasn’t, I was planning to sort it out soon.
The voice was calmer than expected.
The order was given while the confused Lirinel blinked for a moment.
– Let’s withdraw from the human world at this point.
Regardless of her confusion, the answer she would give was obvious.
“yes…!”
***
Demonism is on the verge of extinction? It’s obvious.
Even when Elpidius wiped out the Daemonism, a small number of them survived. If it’s an incident that could kill them, the only news we’ve heard recently is. Deon sneered and took out a cigarette and asked.
‘You put a lot of effort into eliminating the leader of the revolutionary army.’
How many people must have been consumed, starting from behind-the-scenes work to pushing Shiia in and assisting her without being detected.
Nevertheless, contrary to expectations, my mood did not reach its worst. Maybe it was because of Lyrinel’s attitude, which was more blind than I thought. After roughly summarizing the situation, Deon disconnected the communication and stood up.
I don’t know if it’s thanks to you, but anyway, my emotions have been sorted out, so I have to move now.
‘Where are the crazy dogs?’
I wonder if he is quietly staying in the barracks.
I flicked the cigarette in my mouth out of a strange sense of foreboding, and eventually went outside without being able to shake off my worries.
And as expected.
There’s no way these guys can stay quiet. … No, since I was staying in the barracks, should I praise him?
‘What’s going on here?’
Deon arrived at the mad dogs’ area and stopped at the sight he saw. Amid the constant commotion, Cletor was holding Dan by the collar and shaking him.
“Tell me, tell me!”
“Kek, let go of this…”
“Shut up!”
“….”
What on earth does it mean to tell someone to speak and to shut up? You have to let go of your hand in the first place to talk.
As soon as I arrived, the sight was so captivating that I didn’t think anything of Dan even when I saw him. For a while, I thought I wouldn’t be able to see their faces, but…
Milan, who was giggling at the two of them, suddenly hardened his expression and sniffed at the air.
“…But doesn’t it smell like medicine somewhere?”
“Now that I think about it…”
“What kind of bastard took drugs when it wasn’t even a battle!?”
Oops. I quickly put out my cigarette.
And at the same time, I made eye contact with Milan. Deon, seeing the guy’s eyes widen and his mouth open, gave up, crumpled the butt and threw it on the floor.
…shit. It’s going to be noisy again.
“Oh my gosh! What if I stick a cigarette down my throat!! No, I’ll take some medicine before that!”
“what?!”
“Captain! What are you doing?”
The guys arrive in no time. Among them was Cleter, who had been shaking Dan’s collar just a moment ago.
Deon glanced at Dan stroking his neck, then turned his eyes back to look at the crazy dogs, as if he had stopped looking at them for some time. A flurry of movement came into view.
“Candy! No bandages! Herbs!”
“You often seem to forget that I am a hero, but I am already healed.”
“Then candy!”
“….”
I accepted it calmly before it got any louder.
After rolling the sweet lump of sugar in his mouth, Cleter seemed to come to his senses and asked.
“What are you doing here?”
“Oh, I have work to do.”
He doesn’t ask if he has any sense or what happened with Dan. Judging from the fact that he was grabbing Dan by the collar and telling him to hurry up and tell him, it seemed like he was quite curious about the whole incident beyond knowing what had happened.
It’s like crazy dogs suppressing their curiosity.
“….”
“…?”
As a question appeared in their eyes as the silence lasted longer than expected, they slowly moved their eyes.
Deon took a moment to look at Milan, who was standing at the front of the mad dogs, and opened his mouth.
“Milan and… Kletter.”
“Yes Captain!”
“Please speak.”
“You two should go to the commander of the 10th Corps.”
I’m slowly getting tired. No, I was tired from the beginning.
Anyway, I have to finish the work quickly. I feel like I’m going to suffocate to death if I keep doing this.
“Until he dies… don’t stay more than 2 meters away from him. Even if the distance increases a little, it shouldn’t be more than 3 meters.”
Sooner or later, San Guo will attack the 10th Corps Commander.
First of all, work is being carried out within the scope of the mountain country’s magic suppression camp, but if the commander of the 10th Corps, who specializes in horseback riding and is equipped with wings, has good mobility, there is a possibility of breaking through them and escaping outside the camp’s range.
The crazy dogs’ shoulder epaulettes contain amulets. One type on each shoulder. I remember that in the demon world, it was an amulet that imposed the same restrictions on opposing demons as in the human world, and that it was an amulet that suppressed the magic of opposing demons, albeit to a small extent.
‘I know it is effective up to a 3m radius, but just in case, it would be better to emphasize 2m.’
The guys who realized it was an order changed their eyes. Deon made eye contact with the two and spoke slowly. ─But.
“But… if your life is in danger, you can always get out immediately.”
The reason why I chose Milan and Kletter out of all these guys is simple.
You have to pay attention and take action when the situation arises, but to do that, you need strong arms and a calm mind. Unfortunately, there is no normal person here who can do both, so I guess I’ll have to send two guys who have one of each.
In that sense, Milan, the strongest among the Knights, and Kletter, the calmest, were perfect.
‘Calm… right…?’
What I saw as soon as I arrived was him shaking Dan’s collar, but it’s true that he was the calmest one out of all the guys here. He will stop Milan when the time is right.
‘Originally, Sir Lien was good at controlling the crazy dogs, but…’
Blood flows. The bloody smell that had become a daily occurrence gave Deon a headache, and he frowned slightly, then returned his expression.
“…Anyway, the most important thing is your life. Do you remember the slogan of our knights?”
Everything for survival.
“Follow orders, but act with them in mind.”
“…All right.”
“?”
The answer is obedient, but the expressions on both of their faces are strange. The expressions of the guys around me were the same.
Deon frowned at the incomprehensible situation.
“What, why do you look so touched?”
“Daejaang….”
“…don’t come.”
“No matter what, you still value us the most…!”
“…Who? I told you not to come?”
He hesitated.
But do the crazy dogs have the ability to retreat to that level? They jumped towards Deon without hesitation.
The sight of sturdy men rushing towards a relatively small-sized young man.
‘It’s worth seeing.’
Dan, who was adjusting his clothes and observing the situation, muttered to himself.
From then on, the crazy outpouring of affection continued until Deon, who could no longer bear it, pulled out ‘calm’.
***
Paul died. It was truly a waste of time.
Iram, who was waiting for that day’s class, was momentarily stunned upon hearing the news. It was a typical example of those who could not accept the situation.
‘…I haven’t even learned everything yet.’
His death was carried out by the person he loved the most.
Daniel taught this one thing wrong. Since Daniel loved only one person blindly, it seems that Paul also only looked at one person.
In fact, the person who accepted and watched Paul as family was someone who, unlike Daniel, was not related by blood.
‘What should I do next?’
Paul left without imparting all the teachings.
Before starting, I was told that it is a dangerous idea to learn and use it clumsily, and to discard it if the teachings are discontinued without being completely learned…. ‘
As Paul said, in order to survive the current war and the aftermath, Paul’s way is better than Daniel’s way. ‘That’s right.’
Isn’t it too wasteful to discard it like this? I’ve almost learned it and only need to make some detailed adjustments.
…Wouldn’t it be okay to just use this?
Iram desperately hopes that a revolution will take place. This was especially severe because he was one of the early members who went against Daniel’s ideas.
So he made a decision to protect the revolutionary army.
‘Let’s use the ideas that Paul came up with.’
Without him, the future is quite bleak. I’m glad I learned what I had to learn.
As Paul said, we need to find the next suitable successor and pass on the knowledge… but I doubt we will ever be able to find one.
Daniel brought Paul in, taught him, grew up, and as he watched Paul lead the revolutionary army, his expectations for the ‘leader’ became too high… ‘First… let’s fix things
from the inside out.’
We protect the revolutionary army by reducing our presence as if it were not there. We need to minimize the waste of troops and start organizing our internal system. Even executives who value their lives and safety will obey obediently, so there is nothing to worry about.
smart.
“There is information that a person who appears to be an envoy from the Iram Empire has headed to Rweche…”
“Ignore it. Anyway, there is nothing we can do right now.”
“Ah…”
“All activities are suspended for the time being. The priority is to take care of things ourselves.”
After missing Paul, Daniel’s greatest masterpiece, Iram returned to reality for a moment and took care of the documents as the acting head. It all started with
how Shiia got there by fooling everyone. It would be better to start from where they came from. Only by digging in from there will you be able to catch the dangerous elements inside.
As time passed,
the revolutionary army, which had thoroughly searched out the dangerous people inside, slowly and naturally hid in the shadows, following Iram’s judgment that sudden hiding was also strange. I heard
that the movement was so secretive and passive that it looked like it had naturally disbanded due to the death of its leader. The major figures of each faction, who otherwise had a lot to worry about, quickly took their eyes off it. The existence of the revolutionary army was quickly forgotten
