27. Ojirapper.

Tuang! Tata tata tang!

‘Damn, where are they flying from?’

Boom! Boom! Rumble!

Roofs were blown off by flying bullets, walls collapsed, and flames rose up in the streets.

We took a short break against the wall of a three-story building that looked quite sturdy.

“Wow! This is brutal.”

“Those kids don’t even care that there are people living down there.”

As the men of the company began to chatter, Phelps stepped forward.

“Shhh! Be careful not to get caught up in the situation!”

“yes.”

Yes.

The knights of the airborne magic didn’t care whether people lived below or not.

Just shooting and shooting to kill the enemy, the bullets that missed the target fell harmlessly into the buildings in the city.

The problem is that they are the most powerful aerial magic knights among the magic knights.

Bullets sometimes become shells, sometimes become flames, and sometimes become destroyers that penetrate walls and roofs.

‘I should have come a little earlier!’

I didn’t know the Allied Forces would send an airborne magic unit so early.

I regret it a little, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

Still, as we continued to move, we soon reached the outskirts of the city.

Even though I was tired and hiding while escaping, my mind was strong.

Feeling full even without eating.

The greatest achievement of this schedule was not gold, artifacts, or elven heritage.

‘An alliance with the elves······.’

It’s not confirmed yet, but if just the first condition is successful, they’ll believe me.

That’s why I feel strong.

“It’s quiet. Let’s move.”

“Okay! John and Chris take the lead, let’s move forward again.”

“yes!”

We headed north again, carefully moving from building to building, from alley to alley.

It was a pity that I couldn’t move quickly because the surroundings were too bright because it was a full moon.

If I made a mistake, I could have been attacked by my allies.

WHEEEEEEING! BUZZ!

Something fell onto the roof of a two-story house nearby.

“behind!”

At my command, we split up into groups of three and hid in the alleys on the left and right.

At that moment, two Imperial Aerial Magic Knights descended from the sky.

The two men fired rifles toward the two-story house.

Ta-tang! Bang! Bang!

Boom! Boom! Kwah! Kwah!

Sparks flashed and one side of the house collapsed.

“Gasp! Gasp! Is he dead?”

“What a bitch! She might still be alive.”

The two imperial troops nodded to each other and took out their magic grenades.

Swish! Swish!

Boom! Kwaang!

The remaining walls of the building collapsed, and the two-story house was now a ruin.

The two came down to the ground and took a moment to catch their breath.

“Go and check.”

One man slowly climbed over the rubble, aiming his rifle.

And he cleared the area with his feet.

The man who had been observing for a while sighed in relief and turned around.

“There is no movement at all. He is crushed to death······.”

Bam! Bam!

“Ugh!”

The man was left speechless.

Because the icy blade pierced through the man’s back and protruded into his chest.

And the magic knight who emerged from under the rubble ran forward using the man he had killed as a shield.

“die!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Imperial Magic Knight rose into the air and fired his rifle.

But the knight ran quickly and approached right underneath.

Chomp!

“Ugh!”

The Imperial Army’s magic knight stumbled and came down.

I think I hurt my thigh.

And then I just found out who the friendly magic knight that attacked was.

To be exact, I recognized her sword.

Major Nicole Braschi!

She was the one who conquered the labyrinth gate together with me.

She was shot and thrown against the wall with the body she killed.

“Fuck! This hurts so bad.”

I could feel the irritation and anger of the Imperial Magic Knight.

Then Sergeant John Cutter, who was hiding in the alley across the street, looked at me.

And he nodded at Major Nicole.

John also recognized Major Nicol.

It seemed like a question of whether or not we should save them.

I shook my head.

It was against saving her, who was unknown whether she was alive or dead.

Because that could have put me and my men at risk.

Then John again pointed to the major, mimicking the motion of walking with his fingers.

‘Haa! That damn rapper!’

Come to think of it, that guy was the one who tried to rescue Alain when he drowned.

I made my point clear by making an X with both hands.

Then Sergeant John no longer persisted.

“Hey! How long are you going to hide there?”

what?

Was there a detection technique?

Crunch!

The sound of the Imperial Airborne Magic Knight changing his magazine was heard.

“Don’t shoot!”

I immediately stepped forward, raising the rifle above my head.

Then the platoon members also came out of the alley with guns held over their heads just like me.

“What? You were on our side.”

The Imperial Airborne Mage Knight lowered his rifle and descended to the ground.

“What are you going to do if those awakened guys just hide like that? Haa! You idiots!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

We put our hands down and moved closer to the aerial magic knight.

“Is there a medic here? Or someone with a bandage or styptic?”

“Sorry, I don’t have a bandage, but I do have this.”

Chuck! Chew chew chew!

At my signal, we all aimed our rifles at him.

“What the heck······!”

Bang! Tata tang! Bang!

“Ugh!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I fired a few more shots just in case.

Even if you are an aviation magician, if you let your guard down, this is what happens.

“phew!”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Be aware of your surroundings!”

At my command, the men of the company stood on alert.

And then I approached Major Nicole.

‘Wow! This is really bad. He’s still alive after being shot four times!’

But why are you fighting alone?

What are your fellow unit members doing?

The number of Allied Air Magic Knights was far greater.

So, I have to push through with numbers. What was I doing alone?

‘Anyway, Lucky is a very lucky woman.’

But since we are Atlan soldiers, we cannot ignore our injured allies.

“Are you alive?”

“okay.”

I looked around.

Then, I saw a faint light flickering from a window about a span wide at the bottom of a three-story building.

“John, Jester. Move Major Nicole over to that house!”

“yes!”

We headed towards the three-story building where we had just seen lights.

“Phelps.”

“yes.”

Sergeant Phelps ran and broke down the door.

BAM! CRACK!

We went inside.

“There should be a door leading down to the basement here. Find it!”

“yes!”

After a while.

Chris came running.

“There is a door in the kitchen that leads down to the basement.”

“I get it.”

I knocked on the basement door.

“I know you’re inside. Open the door.”

Boom! Boom!

“If you don’t open the door, I’ll break it. One, two······.”

Crunch!

The door opened.

On the stairs stood a middle-aged man holding a lamp.

“Why, why are you doing this? We have nothing to give you.”

“There are casualties. Let’s go down first.”

John and Jester took Major Nicole down.

“Chris, Duncan, the two of you block the door with furniture and a desk.”

“yes!”

I went down with Phelps.

John and Jester had already laid Major Nicole on the table and were tearing her clothes with a knife.

Inside, a middle-aged couple and five children were shaking with fear.

“Phelps, block the window so the light doesn’t leak out.”

“yes.”

I took five cans out of the alchemist’s workshop.

When I looked into the kitchen of this house a little while ago, there was hardly any edible food in sight.

Here too, most likely, the imperial army forcibly took away food and valuables.

“I apologize for coming to you so rudely.”

He held out the can.

“We are not the Imperial Army. We have infiltrated the area disguised as Atlan soldiers.”

At that moment, a middle-aged woman who had been watching carefully approached and took the canned food.

And said.

“Is there anything I can help you with?”

“If you have clean water, please give it to me.”

The woman went up the stairs.

After a while.

The woman brought a clean towel and a bucket full of water.

“Thank you.”

Major Nicole was shot in the arm, shoulder, abdomen and leg, and had grenade shrapnel embedded in her body.

It took a considerable amount of time to wash the wound with alcohol, apply a styptic, and bandage it.

“Phew! First aid has been administered.”

Sergeant John said, wiping away the sweat.

“You two, go up and rest for a while.”

“yes”

As the two climbed up, Phelps said:

“What should I do? Are you going to take me with you?”

He shook his head.

“Moving will only make the wound worse. And carrying the wounded is more dangerous. We have to pass through the Imperial trenches.”

“I guess so.”

I looked at the middle-aged couple.

“Aren’t you going to evacuate?”

“As you can see, we have a lot of children, so we plan to stay in the basement of this house.”

“You thought well.”

I took out five more cans.

“As you may have heard, the Imperial Army will not be able to hold out today. Our army will enter here tomorrow afternoon. Until then, can you leave this person in charge?”

He held out the can.

The middle-aged couple looked at each other with a worried expression.

“This person is an Atlan officer. If you hand him over to an Atlan soldier, he will receive twice as much as the canned food I just gave you.”

Then the woman stepped forward.

“Can I just let you know that I’m here?”

“Yes. Then the soldiers will take care of everything.”

“I will do that.”

The middle-aged woman nodded.

“Oh! And this person, you two should bring him here and treat him. Say that you got the bandages from the soldiers. Then the reward will be much greater.”

“Is that okay?”

“Of course. And don’t go outside tonight, and tomorrow afternoon, look out the window and if you see any soldiers in uniforms other than Imperial Army passing by, ask for help.”

“All right.”

“Then please do so.”

After saying our final goodbyes, we went up to the first floor with Phelps.

“Let’s go!”

We escaped through the upstairs window.

And then we continued moving north.

***

“stop.”

We arrived near the Imperial Army trenches.

Since the Allied bombers had already swept through the area on a large scale, there was no need for further repatriation.

The reality is that there are more dead or wounded soldiers than soldiers who are actually armed.

It was so horrible that I can’t even describe it.

If we surrendered, we could save the soldiers’ lives······.

I really can’t figure out what the higher-ups are thinking.

“Change your clothes here.”

We put on our Atlan uniforms again and carried our Atlan rifles.

“I hope Major Nicole is okay?”

“Heaven knows.”

Although it was short, I still hoped that he wouldn’t die, perhaps because he was a comrade who had fought alongside me.

Even if they survive, they won’t know that we helped them.

“You will pass through the enemy lines in one breath. Never stop or look back.”

“Yes, sir!”

Sergeant Duncan was the most nervous.

He copied Phelps’ flying technique.

We had to move as secretly as possible.

But it couldn’t fly too high either.

There will be Imperial Airborne Magic Knights.

Phelps was in the lead and I was last.

In case of emergency, I planned to block enemy attacks as much as possible with an air shield.

“let’s go!”

Swish! Swish swish!

We flew fifty meters above the Imperial Army trenches.

I was flying over the third trench, then the second trench, and then the trench at the very end.

“What? It’s the enemy!”

“Shoot!”

Bang! Tata tang!

I created as many air shields around me as possible.

We were out of range in less than two minutes.

And went down to the ground.

“Phew! It’s safe now.”

Sergeant John Cutter breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, no one was injured.

“It’s not over yet.”

Our soldiers were right in front of us.

We raised both hands and slowly moved forward.

“Don’t shoot! They’re friendly!”

“Huh? Why are you coming from over there?”

“I took a wrong turn while on patrol.”

It’s been a really long night.

Luckily, we returned to the campsite.

I didn’t even have time to say hello to the other members of the company.

Because the all-out attack has begun.

It started off a hectic day.

Chasing the Awakened who escape with the refugees.

Easier said than done. There were more than one or two.

Even though I ran around like that, I never found Aina or the lieutenant.

I couldn’t find Evolod either.

Most likely he would have escaped by some other means.

And even if Scarlett the Seven Princesses later found out that the subspace warehouse had been robbed, she would never suspect Evolod.

Because it was Evolod who saved her.

Rather, I would think that someone stole it before putting it in the subspace warehouse.

Because they probably wouldn’t have opened up all those boxes and checked them one by one.

***

We have newly pitched 10 tents and 2 large marquees.

Our company was left alone in the empty campsite.

Sergeant Carlin stopped drinking his coffee and looked out at the lights of the capital, the Loire.

“Sir, are we being demoted or something?”

“I guess so?”

“Special Sergeant Phelps said, stubbing out his cigarette with his foot.

“It seems like the corps commander and brigade commander are very angry.”

“That must be true. I prepared like that, but in the end I lost Aina and Lieutenant.”

“But it’s not our fault, is it? They couldn’t find the child or the lieutenant. We did our best.”

Sergeant Herman looked resentful.

“So, are we going to be left out from now on?”

“You’re probably upset right now, but if a difficult mission comes up, you’ll call us again.”

Both the 2nd Army Corps and our airborne brigade entered the capital.

The Lutes Palace was occupied by the Arican Republic Army, and our 2nd Army Corps was stationed in the northern plaza.

The 7th Mobile Corps and the 3rd Corps were gaining momentum and completely pushing the Imperial Army out of the Kingdom of Lutes.

The intention is probably to occupy the resource gate.

Phelps stood up.

“Then I will start working with Sergeant Duncan.”

“Gather all the members of the company before then.”

“yes.”

All 23 members of the company, including me, gathered together.

“Are you planning to train us?”

“Ugh! Just like at the Canyon Gate?”

“Ugh! We’re dead.”

The soldiers’ eyes wavered.

I can hear you all, you guys!

“The commander is disappointed in you all.”

“yes?”

“The war is not over yet. How dare you rest already? Only constant training and discipline will save our lives in the next battle.”

“yes······.”

Special Agent Phelps stepped forward.

“Your voice is small.”

“yes!”

You must be tired after running around for two days without resting to catch Lieutenant Aina.

Besides, our company was left here like an outcast.

“Phelps, give each of your men 10 gold.”

“yes?”

The men of the company were looking at each other and snickering.

“It’s a reward. Starting tomorrow, I will allow you to go out and stay out overnight in three shifts.”

“Wow!”

“Yahoo! You’re the best, Captain!”

The company cheered as the camp was cleared away.

“Make sure to spend all the gold you receive! Anyone who leaves any behind will be banned from going out.”

“Hey!”

At that moment, Phelps looked worried.

“If you suddenly start spending a lot of gold coins, your superiors will become suspicious.”

“It’s okay. Just say that you’ve already divided up the 300 gold reward you received before.”

“Oh, I see.”

A rich company commander tends to become a good company commander.

I just loosened up a little bit of gold, but it’s a festive atmosphere.

I made a ton of money, so I should use it now.

Training is important, but sometimes you need to rest too.

“Everyone disperse, Phelps and Sergeant Duncan, follow me to the supply tent.”

“yes!”

Everyone was in a festive mood, but Phelps and Duncan looked somehow weak.

“Is there a lot to organize in the subspace warehouse?”

“Ha! I just kept piling them up. I didn’t have time to organize them. But now that Sergeant Duncan is here, the two of us will take our time organizing them.”

I chuckled.

And then I took out two steel battle dolls from the alchemist’s workshop.

“Okay! This is for two people to use!”

“yes?”

“Let these guys do the hard work.”

I showed them both how to use the steel fighting dolls.

“You can easily lift up to 500kg, so if you train well, it will be of great help.”

“500kg?”

Special Agent Phelps looked thrilled.

It looks like he’s shedding a few tears.

It will consume some of the energy from the Dimensional Core Fragment, but I can’t make the platoon members do such difficult tasks.

I’m not that bad of a commander.

“And dress the combat dolls in military uniforms and train them for combat. From now on, I’ll leave the combat dolls to these two people.”

“Ah! Thank you, Captain!”

Sergeant Duncan was my favorite.

Without the Awakeners around him, he would just be an ordinary soldier.

But now that we have battle dolls, even without awakening abilities, they can be of great help to the company.

The two immediately opened the subspace warehouse and went inside, dragging the battle dolls with them.

And then I sat down in front of the subspace and looked at the artifacts I was going to give to the platoon members.

With this, our company’s power has been greatly enhanced.

‘But that’s not enough. Everyone needs to awaken their flying skills······.’

I was wondering how I could make our company into an aviation magic company.

Should I roll it anyway?
