Lord of Training - Chapter 99



Only Krnovel

99. What can you give?

I called out to Captain Carlin Ross, Ensign Cameron, Ensign Duncan, Ensign Douglin, Ensign Franco, and Ensign Stella.

“You six will now enter the secret training gate with Special Instructor Iris who is here.”

“Secret training gate?”

“Yes, you will also notice that the 4th Battalion members’ skills have improved significantly since they disappeared with me for a month.”

“Ah! So that’s what went into the secret training gate.”

“Of course. If you follow Instructor Iris here and receive training, your skills will improve just like the 4th Battalion.”

“Oh! We can become stronger too!”

The crew liked it.

Hell is about to break out······.

You won’t be able to wash and will have to hunt monsters for a whole month.

Because I gave Iris that mission.

In particular, Lieutenant Stella Camari was a new recruit and the least skilled in our special forces, but she was given special treatment.

She was the youngest daughter of the Marquis Bertio, the chairman of the Lords’ Council, and was a special person who joined our corps despite fierce opposition from her family.

Of course, the biggest reason is that I have awakened my spatial magic.

When Iris finds the base while training, she will farm it and put it in Stella’s subspace warehouse.

And we also included Ensign Duncan as a watchdog.

Duncan can copy Stella’s subspace warehouse and get inside.

Of course, I can also help you organize your things.

“You guys will be leaving right away, so gather your personal equipment and supplies!”

“all right.”

“And everyone, take one of these.”

He gave each of us a box containing mana pills.

“I’ve also taken out all the mana pills that I’m going to give to the other members. With this, I should be able to train without any worries for at least a month.”

“Oh! Thank you.”

Everyone treasured their Mana Rings.

The knights of the air magic basically wanted to become stronger, and this was like a drug to those who wanted to become stronger.

I won’t be able to stop.

The troops saluted and rushed out.

Lieutenant Franco was the last one left.

“Am I going back again?”

“Yeah, there has to be at least one person with experience.”

Franco looked somewhat regretful.

“why?”

“no.”

Franco seems to want to go with me.

But the guy has already reached elite level, so it’s definitely right to raise him.

Maybe he’ll get stronger than Audrey or Lieutenant Colonel Nicole.

“Captain Kalin will be with you, but you are the strongest right now. So protect the men well. That is another mission for you.”

“Okay! Understood!”

Franco saluted and went out.

Iris looked at me and said.

“But can I really just roll it like that?”

“uh?”

At that moment, I felt like I needed to speak up.

What does it mean to just roll with Iris standards?

Life could have been at risk.

“Make sure you don’t get hurt too badly. Of course, you definitely can’t die.”

“I’ll try.”

“And just in case other people might enter the gate.”

“Are they bad people?”

For a moment, I was at a loss as to what to say.

“It’s hard to define what’s bad because everyone has different standards. One thing is certain: you can’t trust anyone but me.”

“You seem trustworthy. You take good care of your subordinates. You’re just like my older sister.”

sister?

It’s not a bad thing.

Because that means you trust me that much.

“If anything happens, radio me right away.”

“okay!”

Iris seemed delighted to have been given the mission.

In fact, she said that she had only been taking orders from her sister up until now, so she was a little lacking in active thinking.

This was the greatest drawback of combat weapons.

But it’ll be okay because I’m here.

And her older sister, Itiel Rekeyan, was the commander-in-chief of the elven army.

Iris also went out.

‘If there’s any problem, just radio me.’

Now, I had dozens of dimensional radios and eight separate lines connected to them.

[Edplos of the Kingdom of Lutes]

We traveled on a transport plane for a week.

I had to stop at five intermediate airports to change the horsepower batteries.

And finally, we arrived at the Edplos temporary airfield at the southwestern end of the Kingdom of Lutes.

“Okay! Get down carefully!”

“slowly!”

Drrrrr! Drrr!

As the two orbital giants disembarked from the transport plane, a swarm of Lutes soldiers swarmed the runway.

“That’s the orbital gigantic!”

“Wow! It’s huge!”

“How does that thing move?”

The thing that everyone is interested in is the orbital gigant.

Of course, there isn’t a single one in Lutes.

As our leaflet group all disembarked from the transport plane, a man approached us.

“This is Colonel Chalet of the Southern Defense Forces of Lutes.”

“This is Lieutenant General Alain Bombard of the Atlantean Special Air Service.”

“A brigadier general?”

When I took off my rank insignia and walked around, as expected, people were surprised.

“Hmm! There aren’t many soldiers here.”

“Special forces live by mobility. Strong and fast. That’s our motto.”

“I see. First, I’ll guide you to the campsite.”

This was a temporary airfield created because of the Labyrinth Gate. The Arica Republic Army was stationed to the north of the gate, and we were assigned to the south of the gate.

“I only heard about it through rumors, but it’s really amazing when you see it up close.”

Colonel Schallet was also very interested in the orbital gigant.

“From now on, this guy will be the main force on the battlefield.”

“I’m jealous. As expected, Atlan is ahead.”

Colonel Chalet looked very envious.

Just 30 years ago, Lytes was a powerful kingdom that could be called a great power along with Atlan.

However, corruption among the royal family and nobles was rampant, and officials were so rotten that they would not do their jobs unless they were bribed.

Eventually, the gap between the two kingdoms would have widened by several decades, as they were occupied by the empire.

“Can I hear what’s happening here right now?”

Colonel Chalet sighed and answered my question.

When the Grade A Labyrinth Gate was discovered, the Lutes Army gathered all of their surrounding troops to blockade the area around the gate and create a double defensive barrier.

And soon after, the Arica Republic Army arrived.

The Arica Republic Army attempted to bribe corrupt politicians to gain control of the A-class labyrinth gate.

But this time, the Lutes army did not back down.

The Lutes Army, unlike the political circles, thought of this labyrinth gate as their last chance, and they were desperately blocking it so that they could attack it. And in order to balance their lack of power, they contacted the Atlan Kingdom Army, and our special forces came here.

‘It seems to me that you’re being greedy······.’

When I heard Colonel Chalet’s explanation, I found myself shaking my head.

Currently, the Kingdom of Lutes does not have the ability to clear the A-class labyrinth gate.

The A-class labyrinth gate was where many C-class and B-class dimensional monsters appeared, and occasionally A-class dimensional monsters also appeared.

Neither soldiers nor ordinary magic knights could deal with such ruthless men.

The best thing to do is for an aerial magic knight to strike from the air.

The problem is that I heard that there are less than 40 knights in the entire Lutes Airborne Magic Knights. Furthermore, most of them have only recently awakened, and there are only two elite-level ones.

Given these circumstances, clearing the A-class gate was a distant prospect.

But seeing him holding on like that, I felt a little sorry.

“Who is in charge here?”

“This is Lieutenant General Charter Debye, Commander of the Southern Defense Forces.”

“I’d like to meet you sometime.”

“I’ll set up a place for you. And my soldiers are around, so if you need anything, just let me know.”

“All right.”

There were hundreds of soldiers guarding the area around our campsite, perhaps for surveillance purposes.

***

The group set up tents and set up a nice campsite.

The highlight is the two orbital gigantics!

It feels sturdy just by looking at it.

And this time, he also wore a large shield and a large dagger exclusively for Gigant, made of steel from the Magic Engineering Laboratory.

The shield was made so that it could be carried on the back normally, and the dagger was made so that it could be drawn directly from the waist.

It wasn’t like I was just playing around at the Magic Engineering Lab.

Paaaaang!

I raised my head at the sound of high-speed flight.

Someone was flying quickly towards us from the north.

When I saw the tremendous speed, I thought I knew who it was.

‘You’re an intruder.’

WHEEWING! CHUCK!

The man who got off in the middle of the camp was wearing an Arica Republic military uniform and looked a little older.

The middle-aged man was staring intently at the orbital giant.

“Welcome, Chief Telfert Draw.”

“huh?”

Director Telfert looked at me with a puzzled expression.

An expression as if asking how he recognized himself.

“It’s not common to see an aerial magic knight carrying a sword on his back and dual pistols on his waist.”

“Who are you?”

“I am Commodore Alain Bombard, leading the Atlan Special Air Service Magic Fleet.”

“A brigadier general?”

Director Telfert looked slightly surprised.

But then he immediately let out a bitter laugh.

“This is disappointing. I expected at least Brigadier General Chuck Kilgarven to show up. Where did they send that nameless kid?”

“No one would be worthy of the name of Director Telfert. I just came here to check out the atmosphere, so don’t worry about it.”

“For something like that, you’ve prepared quite a bit.”

Director Telfert said as he looked at the orbital giant.

“Our air magic knights are weak, so we need something like this.”

“Huh! You speak well.”

Telfert glanced around the campsite and nodded.

“Anyway, it would be bad if you interfered with our work.”

“Take a look.”

As I bowed my head slightly, Telfert flew towards his base.

Paaaaang!

‘The Republic of Arica sent a named captain.’

Well, it was a Grade A labyrinth gate.

If we had attacked with weak firepower, we could have been defeated.

The Republic of Arica sent about 50 aerial magic knights and 1,000 troops similar to ours.

We may have few troops, but we have two orbital giants.

And although we don’t know, they must have brought some noble children or officers from their own country to awaken somewhere.

I stared at the A-class labyrinth gate quietly.

‘Sorry, I’m eating that!’

***

At 11:55 that night.

‘Where is the dimensional radio that contacts Evolod?’

There were too many dimensional radios.

But I found it quickly because I had attached a note to it.

Chi-chik!

“Evolod, come out! It’s Alain Bombard.”

Chi-chik!

“Evolod!”

Chi-chik!

– What’s going on?

Evolod’s indifferent voice.

Are you upset because I cleared the Labyrinth Gate and didn’t contact you?

Chi-chik!

“How are the movements of the Empire?”

There was silence for a moment.

I felt like something was seriously wrong.

Chi-chik!

– I wish we could stop contacting each other now.

“What is the reason?”

– The Empire has decided to give us the legacy of our elven ancestors.

“Did you say you’d give me the dimensional core too?”

– Yes. And I have decided to give a medium-sized gate for all of our elves to settle down in.

“How much elven heritage do you give? How many dimensional cores?”

– I don’t think it’s necessary to explain all that in detail.

“So you’re satisfied with that?”

There was a brief radio outage.

I thought so.

We are just in a temporary alliance.

The relationship could have ended at any time.

And the only things that can change that relationship are the elven heritage and the dimensional core.

Chi-chik!

– Although it is insufficient, if we receive the Dimensional Core and the Legacy, we can settle in the Gate. And we can grow in strength.

“Do you know why the Empire is suddenly giving you the Legacy and Dimensional Core? It’s to use you to create spirit bullets and spirit shells in the spirit realm. Think back to all the times the Empire has fooled you. They’re just using you all the time.”

– I also know the Empire’s intentions. But we have no more options. Our elves are divided and infiltrating the Empire. There is no time!

Evolod must be anxious too.

The Empire continues to exploit the elves and now seeks to absorb them.

Because they had work to do in the spirit world.

But it was only a temporary relationship.

Eventually, if they ever create firepower similar to spirit bullets or spirit shells, they’ll be kicked out again.

Or become a loyal servant of the Empire.

I continued to explain the situation, but Evolod’s mind seemed to have already made up its mind.

But I didn’t give up and kept persuading him because he hadn’t turned off the dimensional radio.

Chi-chik!

– Then what can you give us?

I laughed to myself.

Now it is time to make a new offer to Evolod.

Chi-chik!

“Whatever the elf wants!”

– Can you give me the inheritance and dimensional core too?

“Of course. Dimensional gates are also possible.”

– But those are things the Empire can give too.

“There is one thing the Empire can never give you. Don’t you want to go home?”

– Hometown?

“The home of the elves. Don’t you want to go there?”

A ridiculous laugh was heard over the interdimensional radio.

– We can’t enter the labyrinth gate.

“No! I can let you in. And I can let you find the elven heritage yourself, and I can let you get the dimensional core yourself. Only then can the elves say they have achieved true independence.”

Suddenly silence came.

Chi-chik!

– Can I check it myself?

“Of course. Can you come to the Kingdom of Nubua?”

– I will find it by any means necessary.

“Not now, but I’ll contact you again in a month or two.”

Evolod knows that I am not one to talk nonsense without any basis.

When he heard the information that the Empire was planning to attack the S-class labyrinth gate, he immediately mobilized the Arika and Atlan armies to prevent the Empire from monopolizing the gate.

So, you probably want to see it with your own eyes.

Chi-chik!

“Before that, I would like to get some information about the Empire?”

– Ask. We are still allies.

Changes in relationships aren’t something only empires can do.

I have more cards.

There’s also High Elf Iris.
