Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 271

EP.271 The Kingdom of Steel and Faceless People – 12

The princess who came in after her saw the inside and let out a small exclamation. The sight of a small golem wrestling with a tool that fit her size stimulated her cute sensibilities.

But for a while, I discovered that the golems dealt with countless documents. The princess’ complexion changed. It was because he realized what the document was as a person who led the resistance.

“Is this the true identity of Command? Countless golems are the true face of the Headquarters…?”

“No way. Of course, there must be someone who rules the golem.”

Shiati does not have the sensibility to admire a fairytale scene. Instead, there is only sharpened enmity.

“And he… is a true black man. You made me this army.”

Shiati’s voice trembled. They are thrilled with the fact that they have found the treasure or prey they have been looking for for a long time.

Sensing a sense of danger from Siati, who seemed to be about to attack at any moment, the princess cautiously pointed out.

“That Shiati. We didn’t come here to engage in a slaughter battle, we just came along to Huey-nim’s negotiations…”

“Stop talking nonsense. What kind of opportunity is this? Are you going to leave like this without further questioning?”

Shiati grabbed a stopped golem with her bare hands. I applied a lot of strength as if I wanted to tear it off right away, but I couldn’t break even one of the steel golem’s fingers as long as my fingers were broken.

But Shiati was not disappointed. Because she still had a thumb left.

A finger of black magic that can break anyone’s opponent.

“Command needs to know pain. You, who decided everything for the military as if you were gods, should know the pain of those who are abandoned and dying!”

“Shiat…”

“I can’t miss this opportunity. I will definitely make them feel the same pain I did. I came all the way here for that!”

Shiati, who refused to dissuade the princess, shouted so that all the sounds in the headquarters could be heard.

“If you call, come out! You want to talk?! Surely you didn’t invite us to talk through the golem!”

Surprisingly, the army, which had never responded to a call in its entire life, responded to Shiati’s call.

The door is open. It was the second door. She walked out of a door that seemed to be frequented by someone with exceptionally few papers piled in front of her.

Shiati asked with her eyes wide open.

“You finally got it. Are you the commander of the military?”

“denial. The main building is not like that.”

Her answer, which appeared in a very ordinary and routine way of opening the door and walking out, was businesslike, like an office worker with no passion for her job. She answered in a dry voice as if she was handling a given task.

Shiati frowned.

“Not the commander. How can I call you? generalissimo? General? Or the governor?”

“denial. There is no such position in the military, and the head office does not hold such a position either.”

“Then what are you…”

Shiati slurred.

The military has a rank system. All soldiers are assigned positions according to their duties. Those with higher ranks are given the authority to announce their ranks to all and give orders to those below them.

The being in front of me was also a person belonging to the military system. She was wearing a uniform with captain’s epaulettes. However, the uniform was not a high-cost uniform worn by generals… it was an ordinary uniform.

Shiati, who had confirmed the other party’s status, asked back in an absurd manner.

“Captain?”

Not a low rank. That’s enough to keep your head high and arrogant in any city.

But just about that. The rank of captain is too low to be considered a member of the command that moves this country.

Even if only captains from all over the country were gathered, a village could be filled, but if all of them were members of the headquarters leading the country, the country called the military would have been torn in all directions and executed in a row.

“Only captain?”

Shiati asked if she, who was only a captain, was a member of the headquarters, but with that meaning in mind. The captain in front of him accepted the words straight away.

“Positive. This is Captain Ivy, a military signalman. I stand in front of you in person to convey my words to you.”

And I met the captain’s eyes. After checking the other person’s face and thoughts, I scratched my chin in a strange feeling.

that’s interesting.

People who speak usually have it in mind beforehand. The mouth is a means of conveying to the end, and the will is made up of thoughts.

However, the two people in front of me were different.

‘long time no see. How have you been for the few days you were apart? Being a telecommunications soldier, I heard all the stories. You seem to be as busy as I am.’

What the hell happened to Captain Abbey?

It’s different from lying to hide your true feelings. Those who want to lie intensely reflect on the truth, so truth and lies are two sides of the same coin.

In contrast, the woman in front of him was different. What you want to say and what comes out of your mouth are completely different. As if someone grabbed his body and forced it to move.

It’s… more like a golem than a person.

“no. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you call it. From the beginning, there was only one thing I wanted to ask.”

While I was momentarily confused, Shiati braced herself and looked around. Golems huddled together in scattered papers. What was written on the document, even the story that the signalman conveyed the order. Inside Shiati, the information was combined one by one.

Is it because of innate intuition or is it because of sharpened aggression? Shiati came up with the correct answer in an instant.

“In the military, all orders issued by the command are transmitted through signal soldiers. yes?”

Captain Abbey nodded in front of Shiati.

『Yes.』

“What this communication headquarters handles is confidential information from all over the military.”

“Positive. The information processed by the current headquarters has different security levels depending on the content.”

“There must be information about taboos there, right?”

『Yes.』

“Yes. I guess.”

Shiati muttered calmly and raised her prosthetic hand ominously. clap. Turning the device built into the prosthetic arm vigorously, Shiati glared at Captain Abbey.

“The incident in Hameln. Do you remember?”

It’s not a normal inquiry. The final gateway to stigmatize the opponent. The timing to deny it, but Captain Abbey answered foolishly honestly.

“Positive. The signal soldier remembers or records the large and small information of the military.”

“Then I understand. For allowing Nicholas to use taboos. Are you?”

『Injustice.』

Shiati’s hand, which was preparing something, hesitated for a moment. But that was only for a moment.

『Whether or not to use taboos is at the discretion of the person in charge. The signalman only handed over the corresponding information.”

“Ha!”

The emotions that had been hesitating for a moment had now completely passed over to that side. Shiati, who laughed, glared at the captain again.

“okay. I must have. Nicholas wouldn’t have figured it out himself. Instead, someone gave the information and gave them the right to use the information voluntarily, and when an unexpected situation occurred, they controlled the information and deleted all records.”

The captain did not answer. Shiati didn’t ask for an answer either. I just licked my lips and smiled.

“okay. communications soldiers. it’s you A headquarters that grasps everything in one sitting and gives orders to countless soldiers at once. It was actually a communications soldier. no?”

『…That’s it.』

“Don’t answer. It doesn’t matter if it’s not. After all, it’s clear that you are the core of the military!”

“Siaty!”

Before the princess had time to stop, Shiati charged, hiding her left hand inside her prosthetic arm. If the opponent resisted, he would break his fingers to neutralize it and drive a blade into his empty chest.

With her in front of her, Captain Abbey remained silent. With morning glory stems wrapped all over her body, she was unable to move and was on the verge of accepting Shiati’s hatred.

“stop!”

Of course, I didn’t leave it there. I hit Siati’s leg with a nice tackle.

Shiati fell awkwardly. Fortunately, thanks to the pile of papers, I only slipped and did not hurt myself. Instead, he glared at me with evil eyes.

“day off!”

“Stop.”

“Are you planning to spread sophistry again?! How patient I must be!”

“Don’t hold back. I hate being patient too. But make full use of this opportunity before you use the last finger.”

“Enough already! The communications soldier is also the target I need to avenge! If you want to stop!”

Shiati suddenly kicked the ground and swung her fist at me. It is a fairly sharp attack, as if the training was steady. It would be enough to call it resistance.

But the ability to read thoughts allows you to deal with these sudden attacks.

pension conversion. Diamond 2. Multipurpose grappling hook.

While Shiati murmured, the transformation had already been completed. I threw the card with my fingertips. As the hook digs into the paper, I hook my toe and set it aside. The paper threaded through the hook was pulled and slipped the feet of Shiati, who was just about to run.

As soon as Shiati lost her balance, I dug into the outside of the prosthetic arm and knocked her over. I grabbed her by the back of her head as she fell on the ground and held me back, then spoke to her back as she was shaking in succession.

“Black magic can be used only when it is within sight, right? If you can’t see it, you can’t write it. So please forgive me if I press the back of the head.”

“You uh…!”

“sorry. But in order to grant your true wish, you must not leave it alone.”

“Your colleague said it! We have to hit this place first! If it’s a signal soldier here, then we have to destroy the signal soldier!”

Ah, the regressor did. This is one of the military’s key facilities. Even in the midst of the chaos, Shiati must have remembered that.

“that’s right. But there’s no use breaking it the way you think.”

I calmly explained and looked at the captain. The captain looked at the battle in Siati with me with an expressionless face.

‘You don’t have to save me. Anyway, now I’m a half-forsaken existence… I’m in a position to disappear after being used like this.’

While wrapped tightly around the stem of a morning glory.

Innate magic is the embodiment of imagery. Depending on the type, there are things that are visible to others and those that are not. Daewi’s unique magic was invisible because it did not involve physical phenomena.

The captain’s body was wrapped in morning glory stems. It was like a rope that tied her body together, or like tendons that moved her body. In any case, the stem of the morning glory that grew from her feet wrapped around her and made a beautiful bud bloom.

The buds hanging there… Twenty-five in total. And each flower bud points to the door. The petals in full bloom were receiving information and will from someone inside them.

It’s like this. Laughing inwardly, I crumpled the paper with my other hand and rolled it into a ball.

“Siaty. Did you want to take revenge on the military? But I’m lost because I don’t know what the military is.”

“I am not lost!”

“I am wandering. Rather than feeling anger at the captain, you found a reason to be angry and became angry. Can your wish come true that way? Do you want the method of executing me after attaching a reason to be angry?”

“That’s enough. What more do you do!”

“The correct answer is this.”

The bundled paper was tightly wrapped with thread and tied tightly to make a simple ball. I shouted as I twirled the paper ball over my head.

“Oh!”

“bruise?”

“Pick it up!”

“bruise!”

I threw the paper ball and Aji ran over the paper. While the cut pieces of paper were scattered like snow fog, Aji rushed in furiously and bit the ball with his mouth.

Hitting the door with your body.

The military is efficient. He didn’t bother to use high-level alchemy steel to mount the door to the Communications Headquarters, where no one could enter without Aimeder. The door was ripped open with the sound of a spear, and Aji’s new model disappeared, revealing a dark hallway inside.

cell. Someone’s voice came from a small room with a cot and a water fountain that one person could barely fit into.

“Aww…!”

Shiati felt another presence and frowned.

“…officer?”

“This is the communications center. By the way, will there be only one signalman?”

They’re all communicators.

Another twenty-five communications soldiers who are moving Captain Aby with the unique magic of ‘Synchronization’.
