The Difference Is Like Between a Dog and a Cow

39 – One Strike (3)

“Wow!!”

Doo-doo-doo-doo-!

As much as the coachman urged, the wagon started running frantically toward the troop.

This much speed even with the body attached to the back? As expected, the majesty of every military unit used exclusively for the battalion commander.

Of course, as fast as it was, the wagon shook to the level of an earthquake, but Rumia, who was in the passenger compartment, didn’t even care.

Because I didn’t even have the time to do that.

A lot.

Rumia bites her nails in the rush of nervousness. His heart showed no sign of calming down.

It’s not because I’m afraid of the carriage’s speed.

It was because of concern for Platoon Commander Enoch Levandel, who had been left behind in Cherno City.

‘There were also Gavial guys…… Those bastards are notorious for messing with even soldiers.’

While the platoon leader drew attention, Rumia was able to get out of the city by joining the coachman who was unable to do anything in the waiting area.

Perhaps the captain of the guard had issued a blockade order, but the guards blocked the entrance in the middle.

– You can just hit it, so run!

– Really!?

– Yes!! Just step on it!!

– Hold tight!! Break through!!

The coachman actively responded to the hottest command, pushing the guards away and succeeding in escaping.

If it’s even a little late, or if the coachman hesitates…….

Rumia must have also been intercepted and captured by the guards.

‘Really…… The captain of the guards in Cherno City was colluding with the enemy?’

She squeezed the briefcase she got from Alfera.

The Cherno City Guard was never a righteous organization.

It was common to be rude on duty, and if even the slightest fault was caught, fines were often taken away mercilessly.

However, until now, it was just a kind of territorial attitude.

Even though I complained about the unfair treatment, I used to go over the problem without making it a problem.

On the contrary, from Lumia’s point of view, Gavial was more difficult than the guards.

It’s not enough to actually take control of the commercial district and open all sorts of illegal establishments behind the scenes.

It’s because he made connections with Rex and other bad people and exercised influence within the military little by little.

But now, in this situation, even if you cross the line, you have crossed it properly.

An obvious transfer.

That is also a serious crime directly committed by the ‘chief of the security organization’ in charge of a trading city close to the border.

“…… I can’t forgive you.”

Rumia muttered in a voice filled with anger. Even though she was ignored by all kinds of people because she was in critical condition, she did not abandon her pride as a soldier.

She thought that she had been played by such people, and it was like a spark was burning in Rumia’s heart.

How long have you been feeling it?

Perform missions and administer justice for the country. The responsibility of a soldier, which she had completely forgotten since joining the 5th Platoon.

This is what Rumia really wanted.

Because the only group that needed Rumia, who had no innate talent, was the Ukrnian Army.

Growing up as an orphan without even knowing her parents’ faces, her army was enough to become a new haven for her, who had no close friends.

Rumia Bluet did her best in everything she did in order to be recognized by them.

Did her efforts bear fruit?

Due to her status as an orphan, she could not take the officer course, but Rumia took her elite course, being evaluated as a promising magic sergeant.

It was too easy for the tower she had built so diligently to collapse.

Training, colleagues, mistakes.

The bloodstains gushing out in front of my eyes.

Once a popular star of the generation, she was stuck on the bottom with no end in sight.

She became a member of the decommissioned platoon.

Even in the midst of that, she wasn’t without effort. That Rumia was kind in everything and that she never scolded the platoon members for being out of control.

It was because I had the hope that an opportunity would come one day.

It is a body and mind that have become sick as they are sick, but they say that one day they will find themselves.

After one year, two years passed like that, I was on the verge of giving up even the hope I was holding on to.

Enoch Levandel took over.

‘Platoon commander… ….’

I thought I’d never feel it again.

I just miserably filled up my tenure and waited to be expelled from society.

Rumia’s heart was alive and started to move.

‘Please wait a moment. I will definitely go to help.’

Please stay safe until then.

Rumia clasped her hands together and prayed earnestly to her god.

***

‘f*cked!’

The captain of the guard, Lamour, ran towards the guard barracks without looking back.

In fact, it was the first time I had ever seen a mage use such magic.

How much magic can mages use in the city?

In the first place, the use of wizards in the city or by magic sergeants or magic officers belonging to the military was strictly restricted by military law.

Since the magic Lamuru has witnessed so far has been nothing more than lighting a stove or watering a flower bed.

But it’s not enough to fire a waterfall from your hand, so if you get hit, people will fly away?

Don’t be funny.

It’s not a power that only so-called people can use.

Even Ramour, who had no knowledge of magic, dared to feel it. That second lieutenant is at least a first-class mage.

And there’s no way the military would leave such an officer alone.

‘It’s the National Military Police, I already knew everything!’

Lamour’s head went blank. There was only one way for this to happen.

Running away.

Whether crossing the border or exile to the Soviet Empire.

The only way to survive was to escape by any means.

I can’t even count the sins I’ve committed so far.

It wasn’t enough that he sold the transport route, which was treated as a secret, to an unknown child, and he even threatened and threatened an officer belonging to the military police.

La Mour was convinced that the moment he was caught by the military police, his death sentence would be certain.

Returning quickly to the guard barracks, he threw away the armor that was intrusive and threw away the military uniform that proved he was a city guard in a corner.

Escape in military uniform?

Did you decide to spread the word that you were a deserter?

After putting on his private clothes and even a robe, he stuffed all sorts of jewelry into his pockets and took the slush funds he had saved up in the bag.

‘A gun, I need to bring a gun.’

It is impossible to operate city guards. Haven’t you seen it before?

I didn’t think it would be helpful to escape if I commanded a unit that couldn’t even move because it was scared by only one mage.

From noble mtl dot com

After changing his clothes and taking all his money and weapons, La Mour went straight to the stable built on the other side of the barracks.

It’s almost sundown, and if you use a horse, you’ll be able to evade even the military police.

Who knows if the national gendarmerie is hiding in the city or if he fled.

He couldn’t have imagined that he could have escaped the city in such a short amount of time.

‘That female sergeant must be a guide for a military police officer. Anyway, there’s no way she’d already contacted the National Military Police.’

La Mour thought as he threw his massive body onto the war horse. Hey, as the horse gallops out of the barracks at the shout, Lamour’s mouth lifts slightly.

Anyway, I ate everything I could in Cherno City.

With this money, even if you move to a neighboring country, you should be able to live moderately for the rest of your life.

As he was already thinking about his retirement, La Mour had no regrets left.

‘Lauro, that bastard knows I’m proud while hanging out with the bullies. Why don’t you give it a try?’

There was no particular brotherly friendship.

In the meantime, I only tuned in a little bit because of the extra income, but it wasn’t because I did it for my younger brother.

Whether he was captured by the military police and beheaded or tortured was none of La Mour’s business.

So he kept running.

In the end, the important thing was the escape route.

There is a high probability that the front and back gates have already been occupied by the military police at this point.

However, Lamour had been working as the captain of the guard for two years, and he did not just play and eat.

‘To the east door…… !’

There are two entrances to Cherno City.

However, there is one passage that is not used as a normal entrance.

It is the northernmost trading city and, due to its nature as a fortress city, it is a secret route to safely escape the mayor and other guests in an unrest.

Originally, the one who was supposed to protect the VIP until the end was Ramour, so he knew the passage of the problem.

‘If I go out there, no one will know!’

Sensing his victory, Lamour lifted the corner of his mouth and smiled.

Like that, the moment Lamour reached the eastern gate of Cherno City.

“Huh?”

“What, really…… Are you here?”

“I made it clear.”

There were two people blocking the road.

“Who are you! This is a controlled area, get out of here!”

Even when I tried to threaten them with anger, the two figures hidden in the shadows did not show any reaction.

“Go away!!”

If I had my usual personality, I would have jumped off my horse and slapped those bastards right away.

As much as being chased by the military police in real time, there was no time to waste.

“It is your fault for not getting out of the way!!”

Ramour grabbed the reins again and charged at the two of them.

After accepting it regardless of whether the opponent is injured or dead, the horse runs vigorously toward the open escape route.

It should have been.

“!?”

Huge pieces of ice flew towards the warhorse that was about to start running.

Heyying-!!

Poo-Wak! The horse screamed as the ice spear pierced the hide and collapsed. Of course, Lamour, who was riding on top, also had no choice but to lose his balance and fall to the floor.

What happened?

When Lamour, with a confused expression, raised his head, the mana emitted from the woman’s body was dyeing the space blue.

‘Mage…… !!’

Since when the hell did the national military police go so fast?

Lamour clenched his teeth in terror. A situation of dilemma in which even the passage they had prepared was blocked.

Even if you are captured, you will die. If you surrender, you will die.

If that’s the case, kill first and run away.

Ramour suddenly pulled out the pistol that was hanging from his waist. His finger on the trigger was pulled, and flames shot from his long barrel.

“DIE!!!”

Taang-!

How even a great mage would die instantly if he was shot in the head.

Because he was Lamour, who stood out in the guards for his marksmanship.

The bullet’s trajectory stretched out in a straight line toward the mage’s forehead.

One at a time.

I’m at a loss for words, but if we eliminate the witnesses, we’ll be able to delay.

So far, it could be seen that the plan had not completely gone awry, but it was only a matter of seconds that Lamour’s hopes completely collapsed.

Parts Tsuts, Kang!

A man who was standing still took out two daggers.

In the blink of an eye, there was a purple flash. At the same time, a sharp metallic sound pierced Lamour’s ear.

I couldn’t believe it even after seeing it with my own eyes.

With a sword, and with a dagger that is unmatched in its ruggedness.

Because I cut through the flying bullets.

“There is no chance of victory, surrender.”

The man’s beast-like eyes shimmered in gold.
