A Hidden Tycoon has Been Discharged From the Military - Chapter 86
Only Ranovel
Episode 86
The time when Uno took the first step in the great struggle to defeat the oppressor and bring freedom and liberation to the comrades of the people.
Quack!
The great sword, overflowing with gray mana that consumed the magic on the armor, pulverized muscles and bones and reached the heart.
“······Turn it off.”
A moan like the wind leaking out comes out.
thud!
The heavily armored dwarf’s massive body collapsed to the ground.
“Whoa.”
John exhaled lightly and looked around.
New blood stains were added to the streets where the blood stains had dried, and the corpses of dwarves who had lost their lives were full.
Everyone who was watching looked away at the sight of John covered in blood and smiling faintly.
Just 10 minutes.
Ten dwarves lost their lives in a short period of 10 minutes, and no matter how I looked at the scene of that gruesome slaughter, I couldn’t get used to it.
“Tskcha.”
After wiping the blood that stuck to the greatsword onto the corpse, John stretched his whole body as if stretching.
“After all, morning exercise is refreshing.”
A bright smile that did not match his blood-covered appearance at all approached with fear, and a murderous spirit slowly bloomed among the crowd of dwarves who had been gathered since the morning.
Vulkan is the faith of the vast majority of dwarves.
There was no end to the number of fanatics killed, and if things continued like this, more than half of Saxony might have to be killed.
“what. “It will end someday.”
But John didn’t care.
After all, the only thing he can do to the enemy who appears in front of him is to end his life.
Even if one’s life ends before reaching the end, that would still be meaningful in its own way.
As Uno said, it would be a noble journey to resist the oppressor and find free will.
“Kick.”
The moment when eyes filled with all kinds of emotions gathered at John’s twitching appearance, the killing that took place in secret became intense, and a new believer was about to throw his life away for the glory of Vulcan.
Clap! Clap!
A group of people appeared with a loud sound of armor that was clearly made on purpose.
“That won’t happen. lieutenant commander.”
A dwarf who guarded Saxony’s castle gates for more than several decades and became the face of Saxony.
With the appearance of a fully armed military unit and guards, the fierceness that had become intense was dispersed.
They selected the best of the guards and kept an eye on all directions, so the pressure went beyond ordinary force.
If they were half-hearted, they would somehow break through and attack John, but that was impossible for Gunther and his troops, so they tried to aim for the next one.
Tears of blood may flow from their hearts as they have to retreat even in the face of a religious enemy, but from the perspective of Gunther, who has to protect his life, it is truly fortunate.
“······He killed you again.”
“How do I attack him first?”
The way he shrugged his shoulders was absolutely disgusting, but Gunther suppressed his boiling anger.
Anyway, I won’t be able to see the major until today or tomorrow.
Gunther stood in front of Jon, supporting the council’s bold decision.
“Follow me. “I asked for a guide.”
“······Hoo.”
A dark red light appeared around John’s eyes, and Gyaum’s expression, who was secretly watching the scene, brightened.
***
After moving down the main street surrounded by fully armed guards on high alert, Jon and Gyaum arrived at the Saxony Guard building. They may have been contacted in advance, but they passed by the dwarves who were on war-level alert and went inside. I stood.
“hmm.”
Gunther led the group as they admired the interior of the rugged but sturdy and practical building, in the typical dwarven style, and reached the stairs leading down to the basement.
“Saxony is a city of mines and blacksmiths. “It is also an important trade base.”
It’s not that there is no way to go beyond the mountain range, but it’s a very detour route, and no matter how safe it is, it’s meaningless if you waste your time like that.
That is why Saxony has such an important meaning, and why so many races come and go even though it is a small city ruled by dwarves.
“Gold and people flock together, and supplies flock together. “It’s good up to that point.”
“It seems like useless people are flocking here too.”
Gunther chuckled at John’s voice that interrupted him.
“That’s right. “There are parasites everywhere.”
A dwarf’s long-cherished wish is to create a masterpiece worthy of having his name engraved with his own hands.
That’s why he despised thieves who coveted what belonged to others rather than his own, and the intensity of that contempt was not common.
thud!
As we went down to the basement with a loud sound, there was a large door that seemed to have been carved entirely out of rock. At Gunther’s glance, the dwarf guarding the door pulled the thick steel handle.
Rumbling!
There was a loud roar that made me worry that the underground passage was collapsing, and the sound of something turning deep inside the wall rang out, and a door that seemed to weigh several tons slowly opened.
“Killing is too lenient. “We have to somehow save them and find out what they are trying to steal.”
The humid air unique to the underground was pushed out, revealing a vast passageway with regular, dim lights.
A huge passage that seems to have been touched by a natural passage.
The passage is made of extremely hard natural stone, and even a person with a decent mana ability cannot tamper with it, and if you make a mistake, you could be buried with hundreds of tons of weight or more, so there is no better prison than this.
The iron bars, which were thicker than a person’s forearm, had a strange light flowing through them and seemed to have been magically treated.
The prison, which was not spacious but not narrow, was large enough to accommodate one person, and the prison cells stretched out in rows deep into the darkness.
“Welcome to the prison of Saxony.”
A voice rang out in the underground passage, and the inmates who had been sitting dead inside the iron cage stood up and muttered.
“Most of the people imprisoned here are smugglers, robbers, or people with enough ability to cross Saxony.”
People’s greed is endless and they are always looking for a quick hit.
It is no different from humanity or other races, and greed arises no matter how you violate it.
“There are people from the guide guild, and there are people worse than that. “The council resolved to hand over one of them.”
Due to the structure of the prison, the voices were diffusely reflected, echoing in every corner, and vitality welled up in the bodies of the inmates who were listening.
“Choose slowly.”
“Sure.”
John smiled strangely as he looked at Gunther, who had stopped at the entrance to the prison.
“Wouldn’t it be possible to close the door like this and trap me?”
A secret and seductive voice penetrated his ears, and the corners of Gunther’s eyes twitched.
“It’s definitely sturdy. Because it’s deep underground, it’s hard to do anything about it. “I think you can lock me up at this level, right?”
A secret, deadly voice, like a snake crawling, made my heart tickle.
It feels like the devil is whispering in my ear.
Looking at John like that, Gyaum touched his forehead, and the corners of Gunther’s eyes turned red and a light of conflict appeared.
Bloodshot eyes looked at John’s smiling face, and his tightly closed lips fell.
“······Actually, you don’t need a guide.”
“hmm?”
Gunther’s face turned red and his voice sank low, as if he was growing angry.
“Someone with your level of strength will be able to somehow pass through those mountains. No, on the contrary, the monsters living in the mountains will become dangerous.”
“Go ahead.”
A dark red color appeared around John’s eyes, as if he had discovered something interesting.
Because what Gunther said is not completely wrong.
Any living, breathing creature cannot be sure of its life or death in front of John, and among the countless combat knowledge accumulated by mankind, there is enough knowledge about mountain warfare.
It is true that the Saxony Mountains are vast and dangerous, but there are places on Earth that are just as bad, and for John, who received intensive training for the purpose of infiltrating the enemy’s rear and causing chaos, the mountains are a great haven.
Originally, revolutionaries and partisans were based in the mountains.
So the more rugged the terrain of the mountain, the better.
Of course, it may not be completely the same since this is Terra and there is no way to know what dangers and mysteries may lurk in those vast mountain ranges, but John was also well-versed in mountain warfare.
“Even though you caused that sadal, you are not acting under the pretext of being a guide. Thanks to this, dozens of people die every day. “It’s self-defense, so I can’t do anything about it.”
Now my face is completely red.
An angry voice rang through the dungeon.
“You just want to kill the dwarf. “It’s so fun to justly kill dwarves like this that I’m just sitting there rubbing my teeth.”
Even though he is a dwarf who proves his beliefs with an axe, he is not willing to let his life disappear in vain.
Especially if that person is in a position to guard the city gates and take responsibility for public security.
“Huh.”
A sigh full of unfairness flowed out, but what appeared on John’s lips was an extremely mean smile.
Gunther was sure of his thoughts.
“Do you want to lock me up? Of course I want to! “It makes me want to tear it into a thousand pieces and kill you!”
Murder and speculation arise, and the pressure unique to high-ranking mana practitioners spreads out in all directions.
The dwarf guards waiting outside the door were behind Gunther with stern expressions, and it seemed like a collision was about to break out at any moment.
At that time, Gyaum had a troubled expression, and gray mana began to overflow from John’s wickedly smiling body.
“······But I can’t do that.”
A suppressed voice, like the growl of an animal, came out.
“There is no guarantee that they will catch you and imprison you, and if you move hastily, they will only give you an excuse.”
Two bloodshot eyes and dark red radiant eyes met.
“You can’t have all of Saxony become the target of your revenge. “Because you are not just a murderer.”
The dwarven guards’ hands grew tense after hearing Gunther’s words.
I desperately want to catch and kill that wicked person right now, but I am so afraid of what that fearful person will do.
“Being good at killing people is nothing. What’s scarier than that is an opponent who doesn’t know what they’re going to do. Especially if it’s someone like you.”
As soon as we recognized that the enemy had appeared, we moved quickly and launched a preemptive strike.
Rather than simply killing people, they blew up the base and sowed confusion while striking the main base and breaking Vulcan’s power.
From the perspective of Gunther, who is in charge of the city’s security, Major John Smith is someone who deserves to be more vigilant than the Auror Master or the Transcendant.
If I became an enemy of someone like this, sleeping with my feet stretched out would be a long way off, and it was clear that I would have to fight fear every moment.
John looked at Gunther, who was glaring at him with menacing eyes, for a moment and then laughed.
“What did you say your name was?”
“······Gunther, son of Hans.”
Gunther also suppressed his emotions as the gray mana subsided and the dark red energy subsided in his eyes.
“That is correct.”
I hate that one word that is said so casually.
“It’s a city with decent soldiers. It’s hard to deal with a city like this. “The entertainment is over now.”
Every word seemed like a dagger piercing the guards’ hearts, and their complexion turned pale and they gritted their teeth without realizing it.
“It’s enough as a way of showing respect. “If we pick a good guy, we’ll set off right away.”
“······Thank you.”
Jon turned, leaving behind Gunther and the guards, who had expressions of indescribable anger and relief.
“ruler.”
At one light word, the prisoners who had been listening to the story with bated breath all crouched down.
“Did you hear the story? “One of you must come with me.”
Gray mana spreads like a haze and flows across the floor.
“It’s a good thing. If you guide yourself properly, you will be free. “Isn’t that a pretty good deal?”
If you look at the content, it is obvious, but no one answered.
“This is Major John Smith.”
Jerk.
The sound of footsteps is unusually loud.
“Call me Major.”
With a grim smile, John stepped into the darkness.
“Then shall we begin the interview?”
Gunther’s shoulders trembled, feeling as if a devil was crawling into his nest.
