A Hidden Tycoon has Been Discharged From the Military - Chapter 85
Only Ranovel
Episode 85
Kiyi.
No matter how good a dwarf’s skills are, they cannot overcome the passage of time.
Even elaborately fitted wooden doors tend to become warped as time goes by, and the large door opened with a sound that was a little annoying but not uncomfortable.
Normally, it’s a sound that you wouldn’t even notice because it’s drowned out by the noise of the city, but it resonates especially loudly in front of the hotel, where there is silence.
Jerk.
“Mmm!”
“······You came out today too.”
What appeared with the sound of light footsteps from inside the open door was Major John Smith.
He may not seem like an ordinary person on the outside, and his faint smiling face can be seen everywhere, but everyone who knows the meaning of that smile has their faces stiffened.
anticipation.
It was the smile of a killer looking forward to seeing how many lives he could end today, and in fact, the number of dwarves who had died by his hands over the past few days had exceeded three figures.
Jerk.
I walked down the stairs of my dorm with slow but not hesitant steps and came to the main street.
Because it is an area with many lodging establishments, it should always be full of floating people at this time, but no one was passing by, and the roads, which should be rough but clean, are full of blood stains.
Maybe it’s because I have resentment, but even if I try to erase it, it won’t be erased.
A shaman or priest would probably need to use their power to erase the blood stains, but as long as John stays in Saxony, the blood stains will never dry, so all we can do is leave them alone for now.
“hmm!”
Standing in front of the evidence of the slaughter he had created with his own hands, John took a deep breath.
The smell of blood and steel filled me, and the all-too-familiar feeling made me smile.
“If only it had the smell of napalm and burning flesh, it would be perfect.”
If you smell the smell of napalm mixed with benzene in the morning, you feel good all day long.
It would be even better to hear the screams of a different race engulfed in the fire and smell the smell of burning flesh as the fire does not go out until everything attached to it is burned.
A dangerous light flashed around his eyes, and the desire to set the surroundings on fire rose, but John held back.
Although he is an unstoppable warlord and a massacre, John is a former soldier.
Massacres of civilians should be avoided as much as possible.
Of course, it also varies depending on the time, but anyway.
Satisfied with the smell of blood and steel, John scanned the surroundings, and the people in his line of sight flinched and let out their own emotions.
Awe, anger, anxiety, sadness, etc.
All kinds of negative emotions swirled and covered the streets of Saxony, and a huge current was seen in the eyes of John, who was able to get a glimpse of the other side of the world after learning magic.
“It’s pretty good.”
The sight of dark, dark colors swirling in irregular shapes was enough to give me goosebumps just by recognizing it, but John showed a happy expression.
Because these feelings are what John is most familiar with.
That moment when I was enjoying the conversation with that strange expression on my face.
“die! “Church membership!”
“Ugh!”
“Stop it!”
One side of the group forming a kind of clearing around the main road and observing the zone, mana soared with great momentum.
bang!
“evil! “You bastard!”
“Move!”
Dwarf guards who had been deployed in preparation for an emergency were thrown into the air as if hit by a truck, and heavily armed dwarves rushed in their place in a murderous manner.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
“Vulkan!”
A flame rises with a loud shout.
The priest in the middle of the heavily armed dwarf squad glared at John with bloodshot eyes, and his face became pale in real time as if he was burning his life, but he didn’t care at all.
If we could light up His flame in a land where faith is fading due to the destruction of the Great Temple, our lives would be at stake!
The assault of the dwarf squad united as one is well-known in Terra, and with the priest of Vulkan accompanying them, at this moment, they were like soldiers entering the crusade.
Ten axes were pointed forward and the powerful charge reached in front of John in an instant and was on the verge of turning him into minced meat, but John did not erase his smile.
“nice to meet! “What a refreshing morning!”
Gray mana arises along with a voice full of joy, and before you know it, the shotgun in your hand is spitting out fire.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
The 20-round drum magazine emptied in an instant as the shotgun fired at an incredible rate, and the Dwarf Squad, which had been charging with all its mana and divine power, stopped charging.
“Aaaah!”
“This member of the church!”
If it were a long distance it would be exhausting, but at a close distance where each other’s weapons could touch each other.
This is enough space for John’s mana to exert its power, and armor with suppressed mana cannot block humanity’s malice.
USAS-12.
Although it was rejected for sale to the civilian population as it was deemed a weapon of mass destruction, the automatic shotgun, loved by special forces around the world, demonstrated unrivaled power even on Terra.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
With a big smile, John held a greatsword in each hand and rushed towards the dwarf squad, which had stopped advancing, along with gray mana.
Kwajijijijik!
“Aaaah!”
With a harsh sound, steel and blood surge, muscles and bones crack, and life extinguishes.
“Noom!”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Vulcan’s flame, created by burning his own life, should have nothing in the world that it cannot melt, but the devil, engulfed in gray mana, cuts through fire and rips through hearts very easily.
A brutal murder that occurred on a clear morning.
Those looking at the space filled with blood, screams, the smell of burning flesh, and the unpleasant smell of metal turned their gaze in disgust, and some watched John’s movements with bright eyes.
So today, in the morning hours like any other, several lives are lost.
“joy!”
Uno, who made eye contact with someone, walked away with a confident expression, and Kiba, who saw this, quietly followed behind with a sigh.
***
Push.
White steam spews out with a harsh sound, and the incomprehensible technology of the gnomes infuses power into the armor infused with human wisdom.
Clap.
Although it makes a clanging sound and must be carefully calculated and ergonomically designed, the exoskeleton, haphazardly assembled in the gnome style, somehow applies the principles to assist Uno’s body.
If human scientists had seen it, it would have been a sight that would have made them cringe, but fortunately, John was the first human to make it this far.
It is only in the distant future that they encounter gnomes and become stressed by phenomena they cannot understand.
Clap, clap, clap.
How long did it take before the metal sound rang out and we entered the alley?
“come!”
“You insolent gnome!”
The people gathered in the open space between the buildings all stood up and glared at each other, but Uno was not at all intimidated.
Uno had faith and a cause, and a gnome who has set one goal will not give in even if it means death.
“Today will be different!”
“It will make you cry!”
Uno, who snorted in response to a voice filled with harsh threats, proudly spread his shoulders, and Kiba, who hesitantly followed, turned his gaze to the other side where he was confronting Uno.
“Howdy.”
“We’ve had a lot of trouble together.”
“Kruk.”
Kiba, who bowed his head at the words of blessing that did not fit the sinister atmosphere at all, looked at the gang who were casting sinister glances at each other.
A group confronting Uno.
They are similar in height to Uno, and their entire bodies are fully covered in armor, but they do not have the beard, which is the symbol of dwarves, at all.
Of course, even though he’s a kid, he still has the heavy armament typical of dwarves, so he’s holding an ax with a sharp edge, but he’s still a kid.
Kiba and the dwarves laughed awkwardly in an ugly space where steam guns and axes were aimed at each other and a wind of blood seemed to blow at any moment.
It would be a big problem if there were casualties in the children’s fight.
No matter how much a dwarf proves himself with an axe, this only applies to adults, and children must always be protected.
The beginning is like this.
The day John defeated the Avatar and became the terror of Saxony.
Uno, who was elated at the sight of John defeating the oppressor, soared to the max, and the dwarves frowned at the sight of him walking down the street with a swagger, but they did it anyway.
Because he’s a gnome.
Although gnomes look ugly, they don’t actually cause much damage, and if you touch them incorrectly, something can happen.
The dwarves, who knew this well, decided to ignore Uno, and thanks to this, Uno’s shoulders rose to the sky.
But that is still an adult’s point of view.
To the dwarf children, who could hold an ax and a hammer as long as they could stand on their own two feet, the sight of Uno was extremely disturbing, and they became even more angry at the sight of him babbling incomprehensible words about how he had defeated his oppressor and now he must rise up and shake off his oppression.
So Uno and the dwarf kids collided in the back alley.
At first, children’s characteristic slurs were exchanged, and it didn’t take long for Uno and the kids, whose faces were red, to start shaking their butts and running at each other.
They say he’s a kid, but a dwarf is a dwarf.
Uno’s natural physical ability surpassed that of adult humans and he could be said to be an adult who was allowed to wander the world, but wasn’t the physical ability the gnome’s strength in the first place?
Equal conditions were achieved, and the two kids rolled on the ground, pounding each other.
A fierce battle took place, and the kid and Uno, who were staring at each other with bloody noses, got angry and were about to take out their true weapons. At that time, a dwarf came running at the sound of a fight and looked for the invisible Uno. Spiral Gyaum stopped them.
Aren’t children as cruel as they are originally innocent?
If we hadn’t stopped him at the right time, the ax would have been flying, and Comrad 1 might have burst out of subspace and caused a massacre.
Gyaum and the dwarf, who were hiding the fussing kids and exchanging awkward smiles, were in trouble.
The situation has already hurt my feelings.
If we leave it like this, these kids will try to settle the matter somehow, and if they’re not careful, there may be bloodshed.
However, if you try to stop it, it is against the customary law of the dwarves, and although it seems completely unbelievable from the outside, it seems that you are ignoring the decision of Uno, who is an adult.
A close discussion took place and a conclusion was reached, which is why Kiba and the dwarves are standing behind the kids.
“Heng! “What’s with that crappy armor?”
“Even if I make it with my feet, I will make it better than that!”
“Kyahahahahaha!”
Uno’s eyes twitched and he pursed his lips at the taunts of the dwarfs wearing shiny armor.
okay.
Let’s just say it looks like that.
I knew to some extent that it looked ugly, perhaps because it was made in a hurry.
However, if Comrad 2, which was created with the utmost in revolutionary spirit, could tolerate being insulted, Uno would not be a gnome in the first place.
Uno, who was pursing his lips in exasperation, opened his mouth with a wicked smile similar to John’s, as if he remembered something.
“joy! Still, I made this! Who made your armor? “Dwarves can’t even make their own armor!”
“profit!”
“That kid!”
A primal provocation that insults the race!
Several dwarves guarding the children’s backs twitched their eyebrows, and some slowly turned their heads.
How much of it can be made by a dwarf without a beard?
Uno’s point was not wrong, as he begged his parents to obtain armor in order to fight against powerful enemies.
How long has it been since we made such primitive accusations towards each other?
An evil light appeared in the eyes of Uno and the dwarf children who were fuming.
“Kiba!”
Kiba made a sad expression at the sharp shout.
“Take out the flag!”
“······Kruk?”
His expression asked if he really had to do that, but Uno was adamant, and Kiba sighed and took something out of his subspace pocket and unfolded it.
Wow.
A flag larger than Uno’s body is unfurled, and a sickle and hammer intersect in the center of the all-red background.
“I will not stop until the oppressor is defeated!”
I’m not sure what the fight to decide who is the leader of the alley has to do with the oppressor, but that’s what Uno is about.
Standing behind the flag embodying Uno’s revolutionary spirit, there was a sense of majesty, and the morale of the dwarf children was greatly broken by the sight.
“······I guess I should make a flag too.”
The dwarf who was watching behind the kids muttered quietly, and several of them shook their heads.
“profit! Attack!”
“Wow!”
The little captain shouted, probably sensing that if time passed like this, their demoralized children would be defeated, and the downcast children instinctively flinched and raised their axes.
“come! “You oppressors!”
Push!
Steam spouted out with a loud sound, and Uno, who was aiming the steam gun, had a light of faith overflowing in his eyes and threw himself forward with great force.
A revolution is something that must be accomplished from the very bottom.
Uno’s struggle to free Saxony from the hands of its oppressors had begun.
“······Kruk.”
Kiba couldn’t understand it, but he did it anyway.
