The Origin of Species

“Sir, not this way! ”

“Really?"

Wide plains and endless horizons. The destination of the Armory Tower remains unchanged, but its destination is getting further and further away. A moment later, you try to turn the steering wheel, and the same word flows from the stern.

“Not this way, either! I don't feel so good! ”

Then Bonapas narrows his eyes and looks at the sails.

“Rabbit, if you keep doing this, you're going to have to go all the way to the east end. We have to go south to get to the Battery. We're already too far east. ”

“No, it's not my senses. What do I do? It's like we're surrounded. ”

“Surrounded? Does that make sense? We're over 700 kilometers away. It doesn't make sense for you to have so many enemies! ”

Bonapas unbuttoned his shirt as if it were stuffy. Seonmi also sighed and looked out the window. Makes no sense. It is nearly impossible to keep surrounding us as long as the enemy is not all the way out.

The funny thing is, there are no enemies to the east, west, or north. Only to the south. The forewing senses react only when you try to go south.

How do we interpret this?

I noticed the village of the Origins in my vision. Bonaparte told me to go straight when I saw it. We have to get food just in case. That is, plunder the origin villages. Normally, I would have had some concerns, but now I'm not. Shouldn't we try to be safe first?

But as soon as I entered the village, I realized that everything was empty. There were no originals, no food, not even cutlery, nothing left. It was the same in every visible village.

“Leader, this is unusual. I think these guys are up to something. ”

“Well, so do I. In a communist society, the ducks can't just leave town. This looks like a conscription. ”

The ducks lost the SS and the garrison almost simultaneously. He must have ordered a recruitment order to make up for it. But even so, isn't this too much? Surin also came out with the same idea or something.

“Sam, but not a single person. This is why you threw away your entire career. What the hell were they thinking in the Wasteland? Look at that. ”

Where she pointed, there were fruity plants.

“If you leave it there, it'll all rot away. So what are you gonna do next year? Isn't this place a year's farming? ”

Surin said that Iran and even the ducks didn't know what was going on. Especially as Nerson shakes his head, saying the emperor is finally mad.

“The name of that fruit is peach. It can be harvested once a year. The actions of the emperor seem to be futureless. Is that why you want to drive all the originals to their deaths? I don't understand no matter how much I think about it. ”

Dude.

I clapped twice. You speak while the clan's gaze is focused.

“It looks like the scale is bigger than expected. As the sailors say, we're surrounded. By an enormous force. Iran, do you know the population of the originals on Lantis? ”

“Dear Lord, I know not exactly, but I know about 30 million people. ”

30 million people on an Australian continent. In terms of the area of the continent, the population was not that large. But the fact that they can all use life force is a powerful weapon. In other words, Origen was able to use lethal force as long as there were enough tools to extract the life force.

The handgesture of a sailor's distraction makes his hair tousled.

“Shit, 30 million people. It's not entirely mobilized, is it? ”

“I don't know about that. You can see it from this town. Looks like the emperor here considers the originals to be expendable, too. ”

“Oh, shit! ”

I asked the steward who was yelling nervously.

“What's the matter? ”

“Mister, I think the troops are advancing from the south. So I feel uneasy everywhere I go. And there's something else. ”

“What?"

“It just feels vague. I can feel someone chasing us from the west. ”

West is where we came from. So it was the Byrons who were chasing us? But it turns out it wasn't due to the ringtone coming from Nerson at the right time.

“Dragon, what's going on? ”

Is the dragon the leader of Natsin's rigid waves? The one with the future? The sound-linked impression of Nerson hardens, and soon becomes violent. I asked him to disconnect.

“Sir, what's going on? ”

“Well, I guess you're on your own. ”

“No, what does that mean? What about you?”

“The dragon has taken my minions hostage. But they're more than a thousand years old. Shouldn't I help them? Looks like Dragon and his minions are tracking us from the west. ”

“Grandfather!"

When Airan calls for him, Nerson smiles favorably.

“Iran, you go with the silver. I can handle this with my father for the first time. ”

“No, why would I put that in there? ”

“Haha. Friend. Were you going to leave me alone? ”

In the conversation between Nerson and Dongbaek, Iran's expression grows stiffer. At the same time, my head was full of speed difficulties. We already have the key, and now we just need to escape. We may have 30 million troops coming from the south, but frankly, we're not that nervous.

I was confident I could get through it somehow.

But as soon as Nerson said he was leaving, things got a little unsettling. Why? Why? I told him. We need to be aware of the possibility of betrayal to the Ondrites. You should just come with us. However, his convictions were firm. I don't know about the others, but I have to save as many solones as the whole gang.

According to him, a man named Solon was the first sine he accepted. That is, the first number. I've spent so many years with him, he said he would never betray me.

In fact, the choice is your own. If Nerson makes such a choice, he must take full responsibility for it. Iran may be sad, but I can't stop it.

What I said in good faith, coming back as a defender often happens more than I thought. I have seen and experienced many similar situations. I saw someone who had arranged a date in good faith and then cheated on me. I saw someone who acted in good faith and then played red in his life.

If I take Nerson now, how will I deal with his grumbling later? I was a man who could gladly send Nerson and attempt an escape to the Battery. Regardless of his existence, he was confident in his escape.

Something doesn't feel right about it. Nerson is anxious whether he is betrayed or not. What the hell is this about? In the meantime, Airan has spoken his way out of the good-bye with Nerson. She also respects the choice of the Nerzones. He never asks me to hold Nerson.

The clans wave. Nerson and Dongbaek wave.

Strange feeling.

Why, I don't want to let Nerson go on like this? Bonaparte and Surin are welcoming the situation. Nerson, the true master, will take care of Natsin's troops thoroughly, and I'm sure he'll be able to spare the forces that are after us.

Just because you don't want to see Iran grieve?

Nerson confidently strikes his chest and says to Iran,

“Iran, good to see you again! Hahaha. Ignore the bugs and keep in touch. ”

“Grandfather · · · · ·. Grandfather should contact you first. I look forward to it.”

Iran smiles widely as if the flowers were blooming. And I realized that moment.

Why I don't want to let Nerson go.

It's not because Iran looks sad. I was more shaken when Nerson hit his chest than when Iran laughed.

His heart is an SS grade tablet.

What if someone kills Nerson? Rumor has it that if you eat a SS grade refined stone, you'll be right on top of it.

That means that whoever kills Nerson might actually end up in the right place.

Not just anyone can climb it.It takes a long time to gather refined stones for a million years. But killing Nerson is the only way to get to the bottom of this? He might be weaker than me, maybe stronger than me?

I couldn't bear it.

In fact, I could tell just by the sight of Nerson. It's almost impossible to defeat someone who is genuine no matter how strong I become. The difference between the original and the original is as great as the sky and the earth. So I never should have let my enemies get in the way.

We left Dongbaek with Nerson anyway. The sailors and Lindsey caught on several times, but they didn't listen. Shinwoo said with a bitter look on his face.

“They'll take care of themselves. Let's just think about getting back. I'm sick of it. I'm sick and tired of it. Clan leader, how are we going to penetrate the troops coming from the south? If we keep heading east, there won't be any answers. ”

“Well, the leader must be thinking of piercing it with strength. With our strength and speed, isn't that enough? There are rabbits, so it's easy to spot the weak ones. ”

Bonaparte was also waiting for my answer. Lindsey and Seonmi looked sad to see if they were worried about those who left, and Iran seemed to be trying to forget about it. Sohee and Damwon were only making serious faces, and hope was always sunny.

I said it after I had made up my mind.

“Gentlemen, I think we've been acting a little passively lately. ”

“Why are you suddenly saying that? ”

Surin's eyes suddenly changed. It's not about how to break through the siege, it's about how the wrong horse came out. But he continued to add.

“Come on, let's get active. Assuming, I'm guessing, that Buita joined, Natsin's troops would be around 100,000. And in the south, there's an army of ducks coming up. And the Byronga must have some kind of weapon ready. because they wouldn't have created this situation by spreading the word unprepared. ”

“True Sam, but · · · · Isn't there a lot of numbers we can try? ”

If all the origins were mobilized, the number would be 30 million.

That number is definitely burdensome. But more than 99% of them are mouth-watering. I thought I shouldn't lose Nerson no matter what. To be precise, I was unable to give someone an SS grade refining stone.

“Prosecutor Kim. Maybe. Maybe their goal isn't just the key we have now. ”

“So · · ·? ”

“SS grade Refining Stone. Purified stone that can climb right into the realm of truth. ”

Bonapas jump right in, I say.

“Leader, you should've grabbed Nerson. Well, they weren't the ones who didn't want to be stopped. So, what do we do now? Are you gonna go back and get it? ”

“No, I'm going to rework the board. Now both Natsin and Duck are after us. ”

He tapped the anxious Iran on the shoulder.

“If you fight Natsin simply to save Nerson, you'll only benefit the originals, won't you? I will make Nathsin need of Nerson. No, we have to make all the scenes stick together. The sine's enemies are the origins of the hard waves and the warm waves. Now, let's tell her that. ”

“Clan leader, how? Will he believe us? They're just like us. ”

Even though he was an enemy, he was like Han. The wolf pack also stops internal quarrels when there are external enemies. Especially if you know that there are gaps in your group. And the gap in Nathshin was expected.

“You'll have to take our word for it. ”

Surin scratched his fingernails when he heard me. I don't like the look of it. It means I have to take this great risk. I pick her up and bite her.

“Prosecutor Kim, I need to talk to you. ”

“Sir, are we going to go to the front? ”

My answer was simple.

“No. We'll hide.

* Event-related *

I thought I made a precise announcement, but there was a big misunderstanding. In fact, there is a space for writing reviews. You have to use it there to hide your ranking from recommendations. However, as some of you have already participated in the comments field, we would like to make a slight change to the event.

We'll give 10 tickets to those who list their strengths and weaknesses in the comments field (43 first-come, first-served). Of course, yesterday's comments are included, so you don't have to write them down repeatedly. I added 30 tickets because I said I made a mistake. (The payment for the tickets is next Monday.)

- > Those of you who are worried about my menthol are doing me a favor. I've been quite awake since Julie's Hiroin incident. ^ ^;;

- > After the event I will reply to the review with a review of the work. Heh heh heh. So far, reflexes and commitments in the future.

Next, first-come, first-serve comments!! That's not yesterday's comment either. I wanted to give as many readers as possible a chance to participate.

This Saturday at 00: 00, we'll send you a first come, first serve ticket. As I said yesterday, that benefits 52 people. This will be announced again on Friday!! Don't let your readers forget!!

* Note that review events and comment events can be duplicated. For example, you can get 10 letters from a review and 12 from a comment.
