Shincon’s One Coin Clear - Chapter 35
Episode 35. Endless Express (4)
“Scheduled to recruit 2,000 workers. All subordinates of the 1st Battalion gathered at the tail section playground. Did you understand?”
“Scheduled to recruit 2,000 workers. All subordinates of the 1st Battalion gathered at the tail section playground. I understand.”
The one who was repeating the words of the adjutant was a new Guardian from the 3rd Company who had just returned.
aka End Guardian.
The adjutant nodded.
“It jumped out and came.”
“yes.”
The last Guardian passed through the worker’s residential area and headed for the 1st Guardian Battalion’s stationed compartment.
It was a place that ordinary workers would never go through in their lives, but the distance was close.
The lower end guardian who arrived in front of the 2nd company commander’s office carefully knocked on the door.
smart smart
But no response came.
Then another Guardian appeared from the side.
“Is the 2nd company commander in your seat?”
“What is the youngest? are you back The company commander has been gone for a while. You will be back soon.”
A senior guardian belonging to the 2nd Company.
He was holding a large piece of meat in his hand.
“Do you have something to report to the company commander?”
“That’s right. The battalion commander gave the order to assemble all companies under the command of the 1st battalion.”
“Uh. It’s X.”
The senior guardian’s face contorted.
“You should probably be ready to compete soon.”
“I know.”
The senior guardian handed out a piece of meat to the lower guardian.
“Is there a room over there? If you look there, there will be one of us.”
“Are we in the room?”
The terminal guardian was bewildered.
us in the room? Those cages that keep animals?
“It’s a new animal that came in while you guys were out on the road, so it’s no joke. If you see it, you will be cold too? Anyway, throw it to him and come.”
“Ah, corporal. Because this is urgent… … .”
“Write.”
The senior guardian frowned.
The lower-end guardian closed his mouth with a lower-level instinct.
“It’s right in front of you. It won’t be long. I understand? It’s not something we should do after telling the other kids to prepare for the competition.”
The senior guardian spat out a few words incoherently and then quietly disappeared.
The terminal guardian sighed.
“In the meantime, I’m hitting the gap. Great, really.”
As the senior guardian said, the guest room was right in front.
The lower end guardian hurriedly moved on, promising to finish quickly and report back.
The lower end guardian who entered the room opened his mouth unconsciously in surprise.
“What is this… … .”
The room, which was always tidy, was ruined because of cleaning.
And at the center of it was a big ‘us’.
“Oh, I’m here to feed the tiger.”
“Is it already this time? I was kind of hungry.”
“uh? Isn’t that the youngest of the 3rd Company?”
“Uh. what. crawl! Are you back?”
The two guardians standing guard over us welcomed the lower end guardian crawl.
They were also Kroll’s predecessors.
However, the difference in jockeys was not as great as the senior who gave away the meat.
Kroll asked the seniors.
“What happened? Why do you have a room?”
“Hey, it wasn’t even a fuss. This tiger cub, from where he came in, smashes and destroys the entire room… … .”
“Did you say there were five people killed in the war?”
Kroll’s eyes widened.
“Are you talking about the dead?”
“okay. Look at that. that.”
Kroll followed the senior guardian’s words and moved his gaze into the cage.
The first thing that caught my eye was the white fur and black stripes.
Kroll involuntarily swallowed his saliva.
Could it be because of the words that he killed five guardians? Even though it was just a back view, I felt a sense of intimidation that weighed down my soul.
Krall soon realized that the tiger was a size that would have to be combined with the three guardians.
“It’s really no joke. Without the regiment commander, 15 more Guardians would have died?”
“The workers are doing a lot of work these days in the name of making a theme park because of that bastard.”
“I don’t mind the crabs either. Are you building a theme park? A theme park in the front row.”
A senior threw a piece of meat at the tiger.
“It is meal time. Cat!”
iron puck.
A chunk of meat stuck to the tiger’s wide back and then fell off.
The tiger’s back trembled slightly.
“Such rude behavior. I would have said I couldn’t stand it any longer.”
low-pitched cry.
Kroll exclaimed in surprise.
“Speaking of people now?”
“Come back!”
The senior sergeant pushed Krall back.
Whoa!
Aaaaaaaaagh!
We were shaking like crazy.
Standing on both feet as if claiming that he was human, Baekho glared at Krall with bright yellow eyes.
He seemed to know that it was him who threw the meat at him.
The thick chains attached to both limbs made an annoying thud.
The senior guardian calmly removed Krall from his back.
“I can’t come out anyway. This is a cage that the regimental commander directly injected mana into.”
“That’s not a tiger!”
“It’s a tiger. It walks on two legs and the front foot… … . okay. A tiger that knows how to use its hands.”
The other senior Guardian shook his head.
“The regimental commander said he would bring it inside to find out what the wind was like.”
“phew. Thanks to you, only we suffer.”
“There are really all sorts of things going around outside the train.”
“It gives me goosebumps because it looks like a human. eww.”
One senior tapped the other senior and asked.
“That’s ‘The Valley of the Unpleasant’. no?”
“The Valley of the Unpleasant? I know the rich valley.”
“Is the madman Red Sector A there?”
“uh. Aren’t you?”
Soon the two seniors giggled.
Kroll couldn’t understand the seniors.
Giggling in front of a monster like this?
white tiger. To be precise, the white tiger glared at the human Krall and chewed the meat he brought with him raw.
Bright red blood flowed from the tiger’s mouth.
Crawl got goosebumps at the sight and stepped back.
“I have something to report to the 2nd company commander, so I’ll go first.”
“I was very scared.”
“It’s okay to be scared. You peed when I first saw you.”
“Ha, you too. There were no shackles back then.”
Crawl went back to the company commander’s office without saying goodbye to the two seniors.
The 2nd company commander was seated.
After reporting to both the 2nd and 1st companies, Kroll hurried to the workers’ quarters.
The ordering went smoothly, but it was because of the slight delay in the guest room, which created a sense of debt in my heart.
At that moment, a serious voice from behind Krall’s back caught him.
“You don’t have to go that fast. Troops need time to prepare for deployment.”
Kroll stood up in his seat.
As soon as he figured out whose voice came through his eardrums, he quickly turned around and shouted a salute in a loud voice.
“Loyalty! Private Crawl belonging to the Guardian 3rd Battalion 1st Company! Meet the regiment commander!”
“rest.”
“rest!”
Regimental commander.
Excluding the corps commander, Chamryonggeom Guhyul, he is a rank at the top of the organization called Guardian.
In the first place, considering that the corps commander was an honorary position to honor his military strength and achievements, the regimental commander was practically at the top.
gulp.
‘What did the regiment commander do to a place like this?’
The regimental commander and subordinate units always kept the engine room within defensive range.
It meant being stationed at the front of the train.
The 2nd and 3rd Battalions, carrying out supply missions by the tail compartment, rarely encountered each other.
“I heard there is a change.”
Kroll lowered his head involuntarily.
“report.”
“report! Total number of people 50. Accidents 29 Current number of people 21! Accident details… … .”
After hearing all the details of the report, the regimental commander stroked his chin.
“The wyverns took the supply containers to the nest. There’s nothing I can’t understand They have the level of intelligence to understand that they are an important resource for us.”
“That’s right.”
“So the supply container was lost and the body of the deceased was not properly recovered?”
“sorry.”
“It is nothing for you to be sorry for. It’s because the idiot company commander died without being able to do his job.”
The last Guardian lowered his head even more.
It seemed that the bones between the words would cut off his guardian life as well.
“Tsk. tell the battalion commander It’s okay even if half of the battalion die and go out, so make sure to bring supplies.”
The disaster at the dragon’s nest was unexpected even by the regiment commander.
With the war ahead, the collection of supplies was more important than anything else.
“I will pass it on.”
“Go see.”
***
Rumble. rattle.
inside the truck.
200 workers lined up in order under the direction of the guardians.
They had left the train in a truck.
Taeyang and Ran were also caught between the workers.
“You are too cold.”
“therefore. Would you like to cover this?”
The truck the battalion commander and his direct guardians rode in was large, sturdy, and well-insulated, but the rest of the trucks were not.
It was big, but it broke easily, didn’t ride well, and above all, it didn’t protect against the murderous cold.
I couldn’t help it.
The battalion commander’s truck is a truck that will protect factors and also move material supply containers, which are important resources.
On the other hand, workers were a cheap resource for Guardians.
Taeyang handed over the blanket he was wearing.
The two hurriedly caught two workers and took away their clothes.
“It went well without getting caught.”
“Debt by the way. Doesn’t it show?”
“huh. If you’ve come this far, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. As long as you are recruited by the Guardian, they don’t care about where you come from.”
To be precise, it’s not that I don’t care, it almost doesn’t take.
For the classes above the rich, there are rats and laborers.
After that, the two of them whispered.
Because Ran looked so classy, her face was smeared with soot.
-… … Why are you two arguing?
– I really want to die.
-I can’t understand the atmosphere. If you do something wrong right now, you will be executed like a rat.
– The belly is flat and the clothes are turned inside out.
-I, Ko Yeon-soo, are waiting for streamer Dalnim’s cam broadcast.
Normally, the gaze would have focused on Taeyang and Ran.
But now all the workers were excited and chatting among themselves.
“fist!”
When one of the guardians shouted, the commotion around them was quieted in an instant.
“Wow, so many people… … .”
“Shh.”
Taeyang covered Ran’s mouth with a finger.
The Guardian was a being who sacrificed his life to keep the train safe from vicious monsters.
And the workers who live on thanks to their hard work on the train were obviously inferior to the guardians.
The same was true for wealthy citizens.
The only rank classified as the same position as Guardian is ‘Engineer’.
The Guardians could instantly judge any subordinate who climbed on them anytime, anywhere.
Especially in the ‘wartime situation’ like now.
Workers sitting in the front row received a packet of pills from the Guardian.
“This pill is a medicine that activates the fire attribute mana dormant in the body. It’s a medicine that allows you to survive for about 5 hours in the cold. Bring 3 of each person. Workers who take more than three will be summarily judged if discovered. Dispensing begins!”
“Start distribution!”
The workers repeated the words of the guardian and passed the pill package behind them.
“Listen while receiving! We bring a container located 3km away from our current location here. The container is in a newly laid nest of damn lizard babies. In other words, you have to rob a nest. Is there anyone who didn’t understand? Behemoth.”
No one raised a hand.
It was as if his head would be cut if he raised his hand.
Soon after all the workers were handed out the pills, the Guardian roared again.
“All personnel take the pills given to them as of the current time!”
“Take the pill!”
Even though only pills were given without water, the workers immediately swallowed the pills without complaining.
That’s how severe the cold that permeated the truck was.
Taeyang also chewed and swallowed the pill immediately upon command.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
The truck suddenly rocked.
The sound of people outside came through at first glance.
“attack! It’s an attack!”
Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The dragon’s roar was heard more clearly.
Hyeon-hye guessed the identity of the enemy by sound.
-hmm. Wyvern? drake? it’s either one
“get out! Go out and fight!”
The Guardian opened the truck door.
Woo woo woo woo.
The extreme cold swirled around and frost formed inside the truck.
No one shuddered because they took the pills.
“oh. I can feel the hot mana flowing through my body.”
Ran stroked my body like it was strange.
Because it is a job that deals with mana, it seemed to feel the flow more clearly.
On the other hand, workers who checked the situation outside were in a state of panic.
“Are you too tall?”
“You want me to fight against that?”
“get out! Go out and fight!”
“Wait a minute! My heart is still ready… … .”
Fuck!
One worker’s neck fell on the truck floor.
Hot steam bloomed from the severed neck.
“If we don’t leave immediately… … .”
Aaaaaaaaagh!
Before he could finish his words, a large claw penetrated the wall of the truck.
The wall of the truck and the Guardian’s chest were pierced at the same time.
One claw was the size of the upper half of a decent adult.
“Cheuk.”
Clink.
The only Guardian in the truck dropped the sword he was holding.
Now the workers are in complete panic.
“Aaaaaaaaa!”
“help me!”
“Sipal! There has never been a story about these ridiculous guys!”
Quad de de de de de deuk!
The cargo bed of the truck was torn apart.
Reptilian torn eyes looked down at the truck.
-It’s a wyvern.
Wyvern.
Sub-dragon A race with the most similar body structure to a dragon.
The natives of the Endless Express referred to these sub-dragons as dragons as well.
The only monster of absolute power that players commonly call a dragon is the white dragon Untara.
Of course, that doesn’t mean sub-dragons are weak.
Although it is said to be an imitation, the original is a dragon.
can be weak
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
The wyvern’s paws, which properly grasped the target’s location, crushed three people at the same time.
Wooded deuddeuk!
At the same time as three workers lost their lives, the truck changed its shape completely open.
“Let’s go Ran!”
“I was preparing!”
Unknowingly, Ran took out the fan he had hidden under his clothes and swung his arm around.
The sun was accustomed to entrusting itself to the wind.
A pupil the size of a human head looked directly at the sun.
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
“Oh, that’s terribly noisy.”
The sun twisted its waist in the air.
Starburst High Kick.
Huung.
At the same time as clusters of silver stars entangled at the feet of the sun.
Whoops.
The Wyvern’s skull caved in.
