RUST -830

Inside the airship dedicated to Maru.

Maru started the meeting by inserting an information extractor into the woman’s head, which was only the upper part of her head remaining.

[Isn’t it too soft?]

Kim Yang narrowed her eyes as she watched the footage captured by the tactical camera. Our highest dignity. Her eyes seemed to have become too relaxed.

[What’s wrong? Haven’t you seen me clean up all the cannibals?]

[That’s obvious. I’m talking about the refugee dregs.]

Ki-sun was momentarily speechless at Kim Yang’s story about why he spared the refugees instead of killing them.

[You’re saying that it’s okay because you don’t kill civilians? What are you thinking?]

[I just want to live well. Is there anything else?]

[Are you saying that you have to kill civilians to live well? That’s ridiculous. Are you saying that the strongest force in the Holy Kingdom should have killed refugees?]

[Yeah. That’s obvious.]

Hood and Kim Yang’s voices grew louder and louder.

[Wait. Wait. Let’s not get emotional, either. Okay?]

Ki-soon, who had read the emotions of the two women, interrupted them and tried to ventilate them, but the atmosphere the two women were giving off was quite sharp.

[Please tell me. Why did you have to kill the refugees?]

[For security reasons. Up until now, anyone who has experienced the highest level of dignity and survived, whether human, animal, or insect, has come from the Holy Kingdom. Do you not know what this means?]

It was a good thing that the Supreme Dignity could control the concentration of life, but it was clearly not a good thing that the information might be leaked through the refugees.

If it becomes known to the enemy, it will be known that it has the ability to at least stun multiple people, even if it doesn’t have the ability to kill them instantly.

If we brought in refugees to cover it up, we would have to go against the Holy Kingdom’s policy of making sure that ‘responsibility for actions’ and ‘responsibility for choices’ were clearly established.

There was no reason to leak the most important information to a refugee who had joined the Free Canadian League and then ran away because he felt it was not right. That was what Kim Yang thought.

[Does that mean that we had to kill all the thousands of refugees? Wasn’t his ability to survive already made public in the Empire and Korea?]

[You think it’s okay for the Supreme Dignity’s ability to be exposed just to save a few thousand people? Even though our Supreme Dignity could be in danger because of it? And it was revealed in the Empire and Korea?]

[You used your powers to save Imperial Chancellor Den Meyer, so the Empire must know about your powers, right?]

[Okay. The Empire is like that, but Korea isn’t. In Korea, the only ones who have seen the power of dignity are those of our Kingdom. Every single cannibal who has experienced that power has been killed, so what are you talking about?]

Maru stopped the two from arguing. After conquering the ant empire, they had not yet confirmed how much their abilities had grown. Even if they killed thousands of refugees, there was still the problem of what would happen next.

What would happen if the Imperial Army saw thousands of deaths from heart attacks and cerebral hemorrhages without any apparent trauma? What would happen if they were seen as mass murderers of civilians?

If we look at it objectively, it is a situation where we can say, ‘So what?’ But is it really necessary to go to such lengths to kill refugees?

‘There’s no need for that.’

The refugees would reap what they sow, so there seemed no need to do anything about it. The end of the world would sort them out.

“Let’s stop here with the refugee issue. The refugees will pay for their choices. Let’s start by checking the information we have now.”

[······.]

[······.]

Kim Yang and Hood closed their mouths. The information extractor embedded in the woman’s head, which was left with only the upper part of her nose, began to churn out images.

[This. There are too many blurry parts?]

Ki-soon furrowed his brow as he watched the video.

“It’s like this even though I cut out the part where the wisdom tooth was.”

As soon as the male escort was incapacitated, he suddenly died and his entire head melted away in an instant. Even though the female escort was cut off before she could commit suicide or anything, leaving only the top of his head, there were many damaged parts.

[I guess I understand how you targeted Canada though.]

Even though the information was broken, I was able to salvage some useful information. The most important thing was that I was able to confirm who was in control of the Free Canadian League.

[The Confederacy… I don’t think we need to worry about it for the time being.]

With Kim Yang keeping her mouth shut, Ki-sun and the PD continued their conversation while leaving the hood behind.

[I also agree with the opinion of the Minister of Administration. I don’t think it’s necessary to stir up the Confederate vampires and cannibals who are keeping each other in check as nobles.]

“Are we just going to leave the Canadian Free League alone?”

[As the King said, wouldn’t it be better to just leave it alone for now? We’ve demolished all the infrastructure, so I think it’s just karma to see how they respond?]

“Yes. Let’s say the Free Canadian League leadership is like that, but what about the Vampire Count? If we leave it alone, the cannibals will increase and they might do something stupid again. At the very least, shouldn’t we catch the vampires?”

Maru was thinking that he should cut off the head.

[I agree with Ki-sun’s thoughts.]

Kim Yang, who had been keeping her mouth shut, agreed with Ki-sun’s thoughts.

Besides, didn’t Maru say that a little while ago? He said that the consequences of your choices will come naturally, so he didn’t have to do anything.

[Except for special circumstances like a blizzard or heavy snowfall, even cannibals cannot penetrate our defense line, and even if they do come, they can be disposed of sufficiently.]

So, there was no need to touch it. Kim said that it would be a good idea to just leave it until this cold winter passes.

[I think it’s best to eliminate the cause of the problem as quickly as possible. No matter how cold it is, I don’t think it’s good to give vampires time.]

Hood thought differently. Even if the refugees were like that, they weren’t vampires. The longer they held onto the Free Canadian League, the greater the risk of unnecessary sacrifice.

The argument was that it would be better to catch the vampires now that the enemy’s strong force, the escort and many cannibals, had been dealt with.

[If we solve the problem of cannibals and vampires? What will we do if those guys who said they were free Canada and all that, elect human representatives and merge with the Empire?]

[······.]

[Are we just going to let the Empire devour the Canadian territory? That’s not right. Those who survived this winter by starving, freezing, and being eaten, we should suck out their tears and snot. After we’ve done that, we should chase out those who are going to chase us out and take control again. Wouldn’t that be worth it for our hard work?]

[······.]

If we catch cannibals and vampires before the law of karma even starts, won’t it only benefit them and leave us with nothing?

Kim Yang has now left Canada, but he thinks he will have to take control again at some point.

[Don’t you think about the vampires that will gain strength during the winter? Even if the Free Canadian League leadership that has become cannibals is like that, it would be better to catch the vampires that have strongholds in the Confederate territory now. What will you do if the Vampire Count moves his forces in his stronghold to the Canadian side?]

[······.]

[Now that we know the general location of the vampire, if we miss it, we have to start over again to find its location. Will the Count stay still after learning that there is a being that killed two powerful guards in an instant?]

[······.]

It was Kim Yang and Hood who stopped each other from speaking.

[First of all, I am against the idea of ​​the King going alone to hunt the Vampire Count. If he is going to go, I hope he takes at least one of Naruzu or Heeyeon’s U+ clones with him.]

[I think that’s good too. According to the information I’ve confirmed so far, vampires are survivors of the fierce competition for survival in the Confederacy. I think it would be good to bring reinforcements with you.]

Since Maru had a strong will to catch a vampire, Ki-sun and the PD thought it would be difficult to stop him, so they spoke in one voice.

When I told them that Maru was going to catch a vampire, Kim Yang gave them a look of disappointment.

[What about karma? Shouldn’t we just let vampires do their evil bidding? So when the vampire power grows, they use that as an excuse to create a big nuke…]

“I said that tactical nuclear weapons would not be used for the time being.”

The aftermath of the nuclear explosion that ended the ant empire had not yet been properly analyzed. The story meant that the number of possible outcomes of the explosion was that many and complex.

“Above all, I don’t think we should allow the cannibal forces to become stronger, just to punish the Free Canadian League people.”

Maru revealed his intention to capture the vampire count. It would be easiest to go alone, but there was a possibility that the count would throw down his meat shield and escape.

“Because if there are too many, it becomes dull. Do you think it would be okay to bring around 100 people?”

[It would be a good idea to take the experienced ones among Heeyeon’s U+ clones and Naruz.]

“I’ll do that. You choose the Naruz kids who will go with me.”

[You want me to select Naruzu?]

Ki-soon made a tired expression.

[Wait. Me? It’s an attack right now, so I can’t go too?]

Miss Kim, who had opposed Maru’s business trip, brightened her eyes and said she would go with him as if nothing had happened.

“I told you. They might look for an opening. Maybe the vampires, sensing that the two guards are dead, will attack the capital to buy time.”

[···Okay, I understand.]

Kim Yang’s pupils became blurry.

“Let’s just settle this one issue.”

[Just this once? Is it real?]

“Have you seen me talking nonsense?”

[Okay.]

It was Kim Yang, whose cloudy eyes had once again regained their light.

A platter containing the top of a female escort’s head. The inside of the skull, where the information extractor had been inserted, was gaping open, revealing gray matter.

Even though it was certain that it was dead, the tenacious life force of the cannibal was slowly filling the hole in its head.

Flutter-

Like a fish flailing its body out of a fishbowl, Nuclipse, who had sneaked out of his scabbard, began to flail toward the perforated skull.

Newclips’s writhing, panting like a puppy in front of its prey.

little.

Just a little more.

The Newclips that had been fluttering so fiercely froze as if it had sensed something. It was as if it had never fluttered before.

‘I am a sword.’

‘I never moved.’

‘It just fell down and was pulled out of its sheath.’

Maru lifted his foot toward the quietly lying Newclips.

‘Wait a minute. Not a hand, but a foot?’

Before the momentarily flustered Newclips could even move, Maru, who had trampled Newclips, revealed his teeth.

“You little punk. What did I tell you? I told you that if you act like that, I won’t let you off easy.”

You don’t understand what I’m saying and you’re acting like shit?

“From now on, you are a shit clip.”

There was something steaming in the place where Maru had kicked his foot.

Kkaaaak!

I was wrong.

I was wrong.

please.

wait a minute.

Just a moment.

Aaaah!

Ah- No!!!

Okay- Wait!!!

Phew-

The Nuclipse, stuck like Excalibur in the yellow hill that had been built up for several days, writhed. The more it did, the more the brown mass flew in all directions.

ah—

The movements of the Newclips, which had been fluttering on the muddy little hill, suddenly stopped.

‧

Suddenly, voices with the same tone began to chatter from all directions.

“Gyaaaaaaah, it’s the capital!”

“It’s Oraburning!”

“Where is Oraburning?”

“Where is the king?”

“This time, I’m going on vacation first!”

“Didn’t you decide to change it to something other than a ladder?”

“Okay. If you decide to change it, you have to start over.”

“What new are you doing?”

“You just went on vacation and now you want to go on vacation again?”

Detroit’s Vladikavkaz Tower is bustling with Naruj.

It’s been a long time since we had a vacation.

Rolling around with mutant monsters in Northern Canada.

Rolling in major cities including Montreal.

The guys who were escorting Green Sun were ambushed by the Free Canadian League and other guys this time.

It was like a rolling stone that Naruzu had been rolling around in Canada, so he needed healing. That’s why there was healing called Oraburning. That’s why there was a vitamin called the King. So, hehehe-

If I do well, I might be able to have a meal with the king like last time.

This time I have to eat a sweet dessert.

Yeah. Chicken too.

Chicken is good. With soju.

Ah, when I think about food, I think of you.

The voice of the artificial intelligence Diana resonated through the speaker toward Naruzu, who was making dolphin sounds like “durun durun” and “slurp slurp”.

[His Majesty is on a mission to capture the Vampire Count. The current number of personnel required for the operation is 87, with the support of the skilled Naruzu.]

Gyaaaaaaah!

Kieeeeeeeeeet!

It’s an operation with Oraburning!!

The Naruzu waiting room was filled with the sound of pterosaurs.
