Captain wakes up 100,000 year later

“By the way, that suspicious and stubborn Monarch of the Coral Leaf gave you a leaf to capture the Peridot Crystal. I can't believe it.”

Krasus looks at the purple flowers and the silver leaves that are growing in front of him. The glass containers Tyrant prepared looked like flowers from a beauty and beast.

“Is this so precious? ”

“Yes. Evidence. Evidence that the goddess believes you alone can reach more than one crystal. It's like the key to the castle where the dragon kidnapped the princess. ”

“That's a very detailed metaphor that doesn't fit. Have you ever kidnapped a princess? ”

“Hm. Triford princesses kidnapped a few and used them for deals. Three heads equals three screams. ”

The captain thought about Princess Triford for a moment. He shakes his head slightly, then looked back at the petals that would become the 'key’ that would end the dragons' war.

“Civilization clashes with civilization. I expected one champion to reach the Peridot Crystal on the battlefield of the dragons and gods. It sounds to me like you need to seize an opportunity and steal a couple. ”

“Why are you pretending to be so weak? ”

Crassus smiles, steaming.

“It's different from arrogance, Captain. Are you afraid of inferior creatures? That can't be right. It is wiser to be afraid of only the top individuals. That fear will make your enemies' throats clearer. ”

At the end of Crassus' words, the sky gradually fades, and it begins to rain. A blue plasma barrier was built over the outdoor terrace. It's raining like a rain storm, but for at least a day, it will be raining like this. The captain's eyes are getting deeper.

“The snow and rain are alternating. This land must be very difficult to farm. ”

The captain mutters to himself. Frost rains on the ground, and rain snows on the whole land. Either way, the seed hardly survives.

[Captain, the current rain is different from the weather forecast. It's strange.]

"Can you detect a cyonic pulse?"

[It's not, but it doesn't seem to be natural. Let's take a moment to inspect the system.]

"Complete and report."

After Tyrant's report, you see Krasus chewing a huge T-bone steak with both hands. The ultraviolet blades, which changed to human shapes but vibrated in the mouth, overflowed with the pleasures of chewing through the bones of the steak as they were, which were not seen in the human diet. He said as he chewed the meat.

“I've always wanted to ask. Captain, why do you want to be involved in the fate of these mortals? Why are you feeding, clothing, and putting these beasts to sleep? Let them live their lives. If you do as the Knights of the Iriya say, you won't find any restraint in your way. Wouldn't that be easier to achieve your goals? ”

One by one, it's the right thing to ask. The captain looks at the rain for a moment.

“Dragon, can you give up your body? ”

“Ha! Is that the man who grabbed me and ripped out my brain? ”

Crassus grumbles with a pot of soup, questioning it as if it were absurd.

“Oh, my God. I'm in need of a drink because I like my drinks. Hey, there, lower life. No, you're a golem. Go get the booze. Bring me something poisonous."

It was a body made with a ball, so even the mines were faithfully reproduced.

“Bring me the spirit. ”

When the captain speaks of a 96-degree bottle, the servant bows and retreats. The captain takes a moment to see him retreat and looks back at Krasus.

“That's why I ask. If someone told you to give up your body, would you accept it in a way other than that kind of coercive force? ”

Krasus chewed some meat for a moment and brought the spirit that the acolyte had just prepared. Krasus grabs the bottle.

“Hey, did you think to stick this up the dragon's nose? Bring me a jar or a keg. ”

The servant bowed down again and went back. Krasus chipped the bottle with his teeth and told the captain.

“No. My death is my own. I don't intend to give up or give up my body to anyone. Why would you ask that? Captain?”

Crassus heaves his head into the bottle. As soon as he reaches 96, it vaporizes and boils like a splash of alcohol. As he smells the strong liquor, he glances at the captain curiously.

“Well, if you want a drink, I'll tell you. ”

He wipes his fangs, smiling, and pours the spirit into the glass. The captain glances at Spirits for a moment and calls out to his acolyte. The acolyte mixes the right spirits with the sprinters, shakes them into a shaker, and then brings out a decent cocktail with ice on his fist. Crassus stares at you in a daze.

“No. Why am I a raw spirit and the captain gives me mixed drinks?" Are you discriminating against the King? ”

“Too few to stick to the dragon's nose. ”

The captain raises his glass and says a toast.

“And in this good morning, the fairy reflected on me the sadness I couldn't have without. ”

[Thank you, Captain.]

Hearing Tyrant's little greeting, the captain nods.

“Can I give up on you? ”

“You're telling me those inferiors have bodies like you? Warrior?”

At Krasus' words, a fury rises. The warrior who defeated him was proud to say so. The captain drank his cup without hesitation. Krasus urged the captain to speak.

“Yes, Krasus. They are my body."

"What? Are you serious?"

The captain nods and says again.

"A long time ago. I swore under no circumstances to protect humanity. A marble inscription that records all the territories of the Earth's Union. Family and humanity in front of Magna Carta. I pledge to protect civilization, freedom and justice. The monument was destroyed at the time the Earth was attacked, but I am still bound to it."

"A pact?"

"Yes, the Human Effectiveness Directorate came back to Earth and demanded an oath from all reinforcements. Now I'm the only one who remembers who I am. Do you understand me, Krasus? ”

Krasus is not Francesco. The captain didn't want an answer. But Krasus replied.

“Dammit. You were a slave to the treaty, too. I know something else, but I can't empathize with it. I am the dragon.”

“The pact frees me. The power without purpose is merely wandering. ”

“Hmph. That's what I'm here for. ”

The captain has his head.

“Independent beyond belief. By the way, if you're so independent, how do you plan a funeral? ”

“Kuhahaha! Who cares about the dead dragon? A lower life form trying to rip a corpse apart? Hmph. Dragons don't do that. Captain, let me give you a piece of advice. If you put your emotions in each of these poor people, they won't live long. Even for you. ”

The captain takes another sip and smiles. It tastes sweet and bitter.

“From the looks of things, I've heard about dragons crushing my head. Do you have feelings for me? If crying in front of me was your first cry, it would be worth it. ”

Krasus bites the head of the barrel with his teeth. The barrel was crushed.

“Hmph. Until you tear off the necklace of the Pantheon, it's in my best interest that you're alive!" By the way, Captain, I didn't expect you to drink from me this morning. Isn't it your principle not to drink when you're working? ”

After confronting Ramon, Crassus often comes to you and asks you for a drink. But the captain drank strictly after work.

“I just heard a terrible story. I feel old in a flash. All these planets are farms, and the people who live there are livestock. This is an unacceptable story. ”

“· · · · · · · Aren't you the only problem that won't be livestock? ”

The captain didn't make much of a move. Crassus, who drank quietly, said.

“I'm tired of this conversation. Captain, are those your henchmen you see there? ”

The captain turns his head in the direction Krasus is pointing. A group of men dressed in black on the far plains are walking through the rain. The rain in the wasteland was not absorbed by the ground, but flowed rapidly.

“Before winter passes, I will clear the plains and plant crops. I intend to make this wasteland a place for people to live, and instead of the corpses and smells of filth, I intend to make it a land flowing with flowers and crops. ”

“Oh. That's a good story to hear. So what are their objectives? Why are you walking around like that on a rainy day? Are you looking for minerals? Or have they invaded? ”

The captain takes a swift sip of the cup and says,

“I'm going to give the ghosts a funeral. ”

Crassus frowns at the first story he's heard in his life.

* * *

“Squad! Attention!"

Samir shouts loudly, and the reinforced soldiers stop in the rain. Samir's eyes see the corpses of the ghouls lying on the ground.

“Hey, boss. Are those things really not moving? ”

A soldier trembles and raises his hand.

“You. What have you been up to? ”

Samir growls.

“I was working on a ranch in the neighborhood · · · · · · ·. ”

“Good. The ranch has a new body. You see that rock next to it? ”

The old man at the ranch was wearing a supply exoskeleton suit because he received a young new body and lacked one. Black armor stood still in the rain, but they all had infrared vision as a basis. Thanks to this, the rock looks very clear.

“Yes? Yes. ”

“Punch it with your fist. ”

“Yes?”

“Oh, come on! Punch me with your fist!”

Samir shouts. I was annoyed that I had to be summoned to deal with the old men wearing new bodies. The old man, who was a meadow, gave up his antidote to chew his lips so hard, thinking that the Captain would see more of the crumbs.

“Ugh · · ·. ”

You punched a rock with your fist. An oddly unexploded fist snatches and breaks the rock.

“Does your hand hurt? ”

“No, it's not. ”

Even his fist was trembling and muttered.

“The new body and armor you have received is a very special body. There's no way you're ever gonna get hurt by a barbecued tooth. Devote your allegiance! I will make you a great soldier. First, all you have to do is catch that Ghoul because this is the saw. ”

“Yes, sir. What would you do if you caught a Ghoul? ”

“Do I know you? Even if you ask us to boil soup with ghouls, we will! Now, go! ”

Soldiers swoop out and grab the ghoul with a sack. I was captured without any problem because my head fell to pieces and died. The harvest begins with the feeling of pulling out the carrots hiding on the floor, rather than hunting for ghouls.

In the wide plains of Illuvelas, the harvest of seaweed began like this. It was a nightmare, but it wasn't hard.

If there was a problem, it wouldn't stop raining.
