Chapter 246 – 246. Struggle, And, You, Me, We (8)
– One –
At sunset.
“Huh?”
Margarita sighs and closes her eyes.
“What’s going on, Margarita?”
“Shh.”
She put off answering the question.
Everyone waits for her detection to end.
“Ahhh…”
After a while she opens her mouth.
Stumble.
“My love!”
Tup.
As she is about to collapse, her Jose urgently accepts her.
She seemed to have read the past of someone or something.
“What’s going on?”
Jose asks, looking down at her.
They were on the verge of setting off to stir up the Imperial Army one last time before enacting any plan.
Naturally, it was because he had sensed the division within the Imperial Army, and decided that now was the right time.
In that moment, she sensed something new.
Because of that, they had a hunch that something unusual had occurred.
“Honey… Umm… Can someone get me a map…?”
She opened her mouth in a weak voice.
Shasha shak!
“Margarita Nunna! Here she is!”
Benison came with a map.
It was the smallest scale of the map of operations.
Since the anomaly occurred within Margarita’s detection range, Bennison thought that a map showing the farthest point would be appropriate.
As if he was right, Margarita looks at him and smiles faintly, expressing her gratitude.
“This place.”
Took.
Her crooked finger points to a place to the southwest.
“Slammer is dying here…”
“Are you a slammer?!”
Monohorn shouts in admiration.
Everyone looks at Margarita with dumbfounded eyes when the name comes up out of nowhere.
“He… Kept his promise, Monohorn…”
“What, ah… By any chance, did you notice that the imperial faction was trying to betray you and come to tell us about it?”
“Yeah… To be precise, it must be Huchi’s betrayal…”
“Ah, fuck…”
Puddeudeuk.
Monohorn spits out double curses and grinds his teeth.
The faces of the others also harden.
“I’ll hear the details from that bastard later, and I’ll have to find that bastard first and see.”
“I think it’s late, but…”
“But I have to try. I’m dying trying to keep my loyalty with us, but if you didn’t know, you could just skip it.
Monohorn looks back at others.
Everyone nods at her.
“Even if we start a day late, I don’t think there will be any major disruptions to our plans.”
Octopoda agrees.
Jose agrees with him.
Democy seemed to think for a moment, but she also nodded her head.
“That cute-looking hunchback brother~?”
“Yeah, well, I don’t know if it’s cute.”
“I think that oppa is kind~ I want you to save him~♬”
Estrus agrees.
Benison nodded as soon as Estrus agreed.
Urmama didn’t even have to ask.
Tears welled up in her eyes when she heard that Slammer was dying.
“I’ll need first aid, so I’ll go with you, Monohorn.”
Ada expresses her own opinion with her hard face.
Monohorn ponders for a moment, then she looks back at Estrus.
“Estrus. I’ll come with you. I don’t have the confidence to discover it myself.”
“Yeah~♡”
Estrus readily accepts Monohorn’s offer.
Monohorn looks back at others.
“Others, please take a break today. There is no Estrus, and Margarita-sister is exhausted, so I don’t think there’s any need to rush out to carry out the operation.”
“I think that would be a good thing. Please come back soon, brother.”
“Yes!”
Monohorn gritted his teeth.
Shrrrr!
As a basket appeared in front of them,
Whiririk!
Tup!
Shashak!
“Oops!”
Rocking, rocking.
Estrus takes Ada and settles into it.
Monohon also climbed onto the basket and sat down.
“I’m going. I’m going at full speed, so stay flat.”
“Yeah~♬”
“Yes, yes!”
Let’s hear the answer from the two
“I’ll be back!”
Shrrrr!
Whoa!
The basket flew up.
Suddenly they became a dot.
– 2 –
Late night.
The time when everything in the world falls into a deep sleep.
Those who guard the rear of the Imperial military camp and the southern side do not sleep.
Sarah, Sarah.
Sabak, Sabak, Sabak.
Neither the guards, nor the soldiers who broke away from the front, no one slept.
Galaretta also joined the ranks and quietly climbed over the barrier near the southwest guard post.
‘Oh my god… ! The sentries are not wary of anyone… Was it all subsumed?’
She was overcome with great astonishment.
He obviously made eye contact with the soldier standing guard.
Feeling anxious, she closed her eyes tightly, but he turned his head away, pretending not to see anything.
He didn’t blow his whistle or shout loudly.
Even when they saw desertion, they condoned it.
‘Is the backlash against the superiors bigger than I thought? I can’t fathom the scale of those who are cooperating with this…’
She bites her lip
But my heart felt much lighter than before.
No matter how well intentioned, what they are doing is desertion.
It is also an enemy retreat.
Since this is wartime, everyone will be sentenced to death if discovered.
If so many people don’t cooperate and report to her superiors, she and those who want to retreat with her to her rear can greatly relieve the burden.
Sasasasasasak!
But there is no room for leisurely movement.
This is a flat plain with no tall trees even after washing your eyes.
At most, the low hills were all there was to hide.
Thus, when the sun rises, there is no way the command center will go unnoticed by mass desertions.
The time that so many people cooperated and earned is, at best, the moment of the morning roll call.
Even if you are lucky enough to have a little more time, the limit is until the point when the march is about to begin.
If that happens, a pursuit will surely begin, or a withdrawal may be ordered.
‘I have to run as fast as possible.’
She gritted her teeth.
The only supplies we have are some water and a few days worth of dry matter, but there are not a few items that command has instructed us to leave alone while we march.
If she doesn’t find them before her food runs out, she will die of exhaustion.
Everyone including her is the same.
Even if they were found by their allies before they died, they would be summarily executed before being brought before a military tribunal.
All service members who cooperated in withdrawing communication rights now share the same fate.
That’s that, that’s that!
‘What will happen after that… Will I be able to survive… ?’
I didn’t know.
Right now, I’m just retreating with my allies to overcome this dangerous situation.
Sabak, Sabak, Sabak.
‘Mother…’
If she is dishonorably discharged, her mother’s pension is also lost.
The same goes for the consolation money she will receive in case of death.
Her death will be worthless.
That’s that, that’s that!
Shrrrr!
‘Somehow…’
You have to struggle to survive.
Everything was uneasy
– 3 –
“This slammer guy is also good at tricks… He only developed a few limbs, how could he think of crossing a battlefield like this, Won…”
Huchi hums in a low voice.
His self-talk resembled a song.
Sabak, Sabak, Sabak.
“But, well, it feels like hunting, and it’s not too bad…”
He felt no apprehension as he crossed the battlefield.
As long as he didn’t run into a large army, he was confident of surviving.
There are few people on the continent who can surpass him in the field.
Monsters only weighed him down, but he was one of the strongest among humans.
“There are too many monsters in the world, right…”
His face darkens
Countless faces of monsters appear in my mind and then disappear.
Finally, Jose’s face comes to mind.
“Jose, I thought you were a monster. It seemed like an insurmountable wall…”
Sabak, Sabak, Sabak.
His gait was leisurely, but the speed at which he moved was not slow.
At first glance, his body seemed to glide forward on the ice.
“Thanks to that, I took away all the things that belonged to me… But, well, it seems like it was really useless…”
His chanting was like a eulogy for himself, or like leaving a will.
No matter how you interpret it, his words strongly felt the abandonment of life.
It was clear he had let go of a lot.
Hehe… Isn’t it really miserable? A man, he can’t even get his revenge on his own, and he’s telling people to tell others…”
Swoop, Swoop.
Hooch strokes his chin.
Smile quietly
His smile was eerie.
“Found.”
He found drops of blood.
It wasn’t too difficult for him to find the slammer, as he skillfully searched for traces left here and there while constantly moving.
“Still, isn’t it too much to return to the interior of the unexplored land, Slammer?”
No answer comes back.
“If you were caught and died properly, there would be no trouble for me, you, and each other. No, why did you step on my back in the first place? “
Still no answer.
“Your limbs are fine and your cocks and balls are back. Other than meeting prostitutes three or four times, what kind of wealth and glory have you enjoyed? Haven’t you accomplished anything?”
Still, Hooch didn’t stop talking to Slammer.
It was because I was sure that the traces of the slammer would not lead to other places.
“Still, I pay all the respect I can to your tenacious persistence and fine hair.”
“…”
“Even though it wasn’t an instant death poison, it’s a chronic poison that rots away all five organs without an antidote, so it escapes for weeks without detoxifying it? It’s amazing.”
“…”
“Even though I ran away like crazy, changing wagons, I managed to come this far.”
“… Ay, shit, shit, bee…”
Slammer’s voice came.
A smile forms on the corners of Huchi’s lips.
“That’s it… It looks like he doesn’t have much power.”
“Ha, ha, ha, ha… You damn bastard…”
Hehe. If I had hidden a little better, I would have missed you again, but this time I could clearly see you hiding. It seems that limits are limits.”
“Nigimi… Cool…”
Squeak.
Took.
Slammer stretches out.
Lie down with your limbs stretched out.
I gasp for breath and look up at Huchi.
“Even if you got your cock and balls back, you must be a born eunuch.”
“Ha, ha… Is that, what, cool, the sound of a dog exploding? Ha, ha.”
“Didn’t the word ‘treacherous’ come from the meaning that the eunuch will tell the emperor when something happens, and that it is something a eunuch would do?”
“Ha ha, ha ha, ha. Kkeuk. Did your father say that?”
Slammer laughs while soaking in black blood.
He seemed to have given up on everything.
“Cheerful. While beating the drum for unfairness, gossip, kulk, kulk. I heard that gossip came from the tradition of chattering around the neighborhood, I.”
“That eunuch and this eunuch. There is no difference in the fact that they are eunuchs. That’s why you became a eunuch.”
“Eat your dick, cool. You stupid bastard who puts poison on the bolt’s tip, Queueek!”
Charleuk.
He vomits a bowlful of black blood.
As if fragments of internal organs had been mixed in, a mushy mass also flowed from his mouth along with black blood.
“Hmm… I think I’ll live…”
“Well, I think I’ll die soon even if I don’t do anything, so why are you talking nonsense that I’ll live?”
What Hooch said was true.
As if the shadow of death had fallen on him, his eyes and face were discolored.
His lips were fresh blue, and his throat was full of hoarseness.
“I don’t know, you bastard. Haha. If you’re going to kill me, kill it quickly. Cool. It hurts and it’s hard, kuk, kuh! I want to get rid of it quickly…”
Swoop, Swoop.
Hooch thinks as he strokes his chin.
His face lights up
“Hmm… Now that I realize it, I didn’t run away to live, but to tell them something, didn’t I? In return for the saintess healing me, did she ask me to tell her something if I was fooling around?”
Haha.
Slammer wanted to keep quiet about the secret pact he had with Monohorn.
He has no family to protect, but she did not want to put a political burden on the saintess and Monohon because of the secret pact she made.
“It’s a pity… Well, after you die, I’ll report to the higher ups on my own. There’s no one to testify to, so who’s going to say that I’m reporting on my own? Judging by how things are going, even the influential dignitaries of the imperial faction It smells like the saintess and her companions have been abandoned, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me just because I adapted and reported it appropriately.”
“Amy, shit…”
“And if you and them conspire and report that they’ve been attached to Regal, wouldn’t that give them a reason to attack them preemptively? As evidence, you’ll have to carry your head, so I think it’s a good way to go. “
“Huuuuuhuuuuu003”
Suddenly, Slammer laughs sullenly and laughs at Hooch.
Startle.
Hooch trembles and looks at him tremblingly.
“…Hey, what the hell are you up to?”
“Kelluk, Kohok! Go to the Islands and make sure to report to Viscount Uwebol, you asshole. Ha, ha, ha, ha.”
“…”
Huchi’s expression begins to wrinkle.
“Hey, cool, you didn’t intend to go back anyway, did you?”
“…”
“Sufficiently, ha ha, you were thinking of giving information to the duke’s side, haha, joining that side, right?”
“…”
“Even if you don’t say anything, you know, cool. Anyway, cool, the bastard who betrayed you, you can’t be important in an important position, haha, you know very well, Haa, did you intend to target the saintess’s group?”
“…”
“I wrote that in a secret letter, and, cool, I sent a secret letter to your Excellency in the Islands…”
Hooch trembled as he clenched his fists.
Hehe… Cough, cool. You took too much time… If you were like me, ha, I would have done my best, kuck, I would have chased you down and killed you in the beginning…”
“Hmm… It’s just as you said… I never imagined you would run this far.”
“So, please, kuk, heo-eok, just kill me…”
The slammer seemed really painful.
His face is contorted with deep anguish.
A quick death would be his last mercy,
Food.
“Why me?”
Hooch tramples his wind.
And then cross your arms beside him.
She looks down at him quietly.
“…”
“I followed you because I wanted to watch you die as painfully as possible, but there’s no way I’ll give it up now, is there?”
“Ha, ha, ha, ha…”
“Well, as you said, I intend to join the Duke of Regal B. Whiskey, but before that, I wanted to inflict maximum pain on you.”
“Huh, uh, uh, uh, uh…”
“If I hadn’t followed you, wouldn’t you have been hiding somewhere and trying to find a cure?
“Keluk, kuhuk…”
“How is it? Aren’t you very grateful?”
Burrrr
At Hooch’s malicious words, Slammer shudders.
He endures his pain by closing his eyes tightly.
Wait for death
“Hmm… I thought I was going to die right away, but the string is also long, draw it. I need to smoke a cigarette.”
Swoop.
He pulls out a pipe
The moment you bring the water beak to your mouth,
Shashak.
Slurr, tok.
The hand holding the pipe disappears from his wrist.
“Uh…?”
Push shush shush!
