“Hidden Compatriots” “Bringing In”
[Zuz …
“Okay”
Nel Germa greeted me politely and then flew up.
Originally, the guy was destined to be eaten by Adhai and die here, but the plan changed. Because I chose to save him instead of sacrificing him.
With the plan changed, the guy took action next: gathering his scattered compatriots.
Most of the surviving Gallagons are hatchlings, with only a few green Gallagons left to guard them. He must have judged that the safest place on this planet is near me, so he brought his kind here.
‘I have no intention of eating it right now either.’
My original plan was to get my wings and then rescue Adhai, not to engage in an all-out war with the Black Dragons.
Since coming to this planet, I have fought Gallagons twice. I fought Ham Ort alone, and killed 10 Green Gallagons. Both times, the circumstances were right and I won easily, but that was just luck.
What if Ham Ort had subordinates? Or ten Green Gallagons and three or four White Gallagons to lead them? It would have been a tough fight.
‘Gallagons are strong on their own, but they are even stronger in groups.’
Just as lions gather in prides in Africa to hunt dangerous herbivores, Gallagons also become very dangerous when they form a proper group. They are the superior defenders of Glacier Fiends who do not fight alone but command their subordinates. A group of Gallagons that are well-organized is like a living, moving fighter unit.
‘So we have to hit quickly before they prepare.’
When you learn that the Green Gallagons sent to pursue the remnants of Ham Ort were annihilated, you will feel something is off. The black dragon Odd Grad is older than any Gallagon on this planet. He will know how to respond when a strong enemy appears.
In other words, we have to shake them up before they can prepare their defenses.
‘The good news is that Nel Germa knew a lot of useful information.’
Like Ham Ort, he was once a member of the Black Dragon, Odd Grad’s pack. So he knew very well how many White Gallagons there were in the pack.
‘The total number of White Gallagons is 19.’
Originally there were 24, but 4 of them left the group following Ham Ort, so there are now 19. Of these, 12 are young individuals that have recently shed their molts. Half of them are males and half are females.
On the other hand, the seven cases are said to be mature individuals that have spent a long time after molting. They appear to be quite old, although not as old as the Black Gallagon.
In the game, White Gallagons were all equally skilled, but here in reality, there were differences depending on how long they had lived and how much combat experience they had.
‘If you look at Ham Ort, you can definitely see the difference.’
And those seven are said to be the companions that Odd Grad cherishes and are under the care of the Black Dragon. Even Nel Germa emphasized that they are particularly dangerous. It would be better to assume that they are at least as dangerous as Ham Ort.
‘Let’s make a plan to start by cleaning up the weaker entities.’
It is said that any White Gallagon will do for Aadhai’s growth. At least, that is what the Gallagons who know his secret say.
‘The first one is eaten, and the rest… .’
It would be a good idea to eat them to get as many traits as possible, and then bring them to your side. If it were any other time, I would eat them all, but right now, I need to increase my side.
‘I’ve already heard that they’re going out hunting.’
It is said that 7 of them always stay in the nest and help Odd Grad. 12 of them leave the nest once every 3 to 4 days to hunt for food.
‘Nel Germa said there wasn’t much time left until they had to go hunting again.’
They still don’t know that the Green Gallagon Trackers are dead. So it’s likely that they’ll send out a hunt before they know of the Trackers’ death. However, Gallagon’s sense of time is slightly different from that of humans, so we can’t just take that as a given.
‘Watch and prepare. You need both.’
While keeping an eye on the nest’s dynamics, you must also be prepared to fight before they emerge.
That’s what I, no, what we have to do from now on.
I called the kids over after making a rough plan based on the information I heard from Nel Germa.
“It’s definitely a good plan. Just change one thing.”
[Zuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu (What part is stuck?)]
“I’d be better at the nest watch than PS-111. I have better eyesight and experience.”
“I can’t agree with that statement. My detection system has a 360 degree range….”
The reason I decided to entrust PS-111 with nest surveillance is because of two advantages it possesses.
The ability to sense psychic powers and agility.
The best expert in psychic powers among us is No. 26, but he has the disadvantage of being slow on the ground. If he were to be caught by the Gallagons, it would be difficult to escape. On the other hand, PS-111, although his sensing ability is inferior to No. 26’s, his movements are very agile.
‘No. She has a point.’
The Heavenly Mother has poor psychic power perception, but excellent eyesight. PS-111 seems to disagree, but from what I’ve seen, the difference between the two is not that great.
Besides, she’s from the same rank as me. Naturally, she’s got experience hunting at least at the level of Gallagon.
‘It’s a bit different from a game, though.’
Unlike PS-111, who is a bit old-fashioned because she is a machine, she has flexible judgment. Even if things go wrong, she will be able to get out of the crisis without difficulty.
[Zuzuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu zuuzu (Okay. I’ll leave that part to Mother in Heaven)]
“thank you.”
[Zuzu zuzuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzu zuzuzuzu (instead, PS-111, move with No. 26)]
“All right.”
“Friend, just trust me!”
No. 26 and PS-111 will be tasked with guarding the group that Nel Germa will bring. Nel Germa didn’t say anything, but it’s hard to imagine that the old black dragon would send only one tracking party.
‘There must be more Green Gallagon Trackers.’
If you attach No. 26 and PS-111 to Nel Germa, you should be able to deal with the pursuit team easily.
[Zuuuu zuuu zuuu zuuu zuuu (Adhai. You will go with me)]
Finally, Adhai will move with me.
There are two reasons.
To train him in combat and to feed him new Apex.
While White Gallagon is certainly a key to growth, we don’t know what other foods would affect it. I think it’s unlikely, but it might help it grow a lot.
‘No matter what, it’s not a loss.’
Apex contains a lot of energy, making it a good food source for newly molted Adhai.
And that’s not all.
You should take him on an Apex hunt so he can hone his abilities. He needs to be fully familiar with his abilities to prepare for the upcoming battle. There is nothing better for acclimating him than fighting a strong opponent.
[Zuzuzuzuz zuuzuz zuuzuzuz zuuzuzuz (When Nel Germa comes, take him to the nest)]
“Are you okay?”
[Zzzzzzzz zzzzzz zzzzzz zzzzzz zzzzzzzz (If you leave Blue Gallagon outside, it will freeze to death. It can only survive if you leave it on a cruiser.)]
I know what Heavenly Mother is worried about, but there’s nothing I can do. Since we’ve lost the Dragon’s Nest, if we want to save them, we have to send them to a cruiser with heat.
Just then, Nel Germa returned.
“Survival” “Family” “All?”
“entire”
“Huh?” “Where?”
“Odd Grad” “Take”
The Green Gallagons that Nel Germa brought were three. The Blue Gallagons were five. It is said that all the White Gallagons were killed by Odd Grad himself.
‘There are fewer of them.’
There are 19 White Gallagons over there, but there are only 9 in total. Even including Adhai, there are only 10. They are incomparably inferior.
‘Ugh. I expected this much.’
It’s unfortunate, but it was expected.
However, Adhai trembled as if he was not like that. When he was captured by Ham Ort, he stayed in the nest where the hatchlings were. He probably knows better than anyone how many Blue Gallagons have died.
If it were any other time, I would have comforted him, but not this time.
‘Anger helps in fighting.’
Because it helps you overcome the limitations you unknowingly set.
Of course, if you are consumed by anger, you will not be able to make sound decisions, but in this case, it does not matter, because I will control his emotions.
[Zuzuzu zuuzuzu zuuzuzu zuuzuzu (Ask them where to go)]
“I’ll explain as we go. Follow me.”
“Agree” “All” “Move”
Everyone started to move as they had previously said. Adhai and I were the only ones left in the place where everyone had left.
“Big man” “Me” “Shock” “Younger compatriot” “Death” “I don’t want”
[Zuzu (yeah)]
“Young Peers” “Sin” “Nothing” “Odd Grad” “Bad”
Actually, I too had planned to eat all the Gallagons before things got this way, but I didn’t say anything about that.
Instead, what I said was a different story.
[Zuuuuuuuu (I have to get revenge)]
“Agree” “Revenge” “Necessary”
[Zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu zuzu (Odd Grad, who abandoned you, killed both the mother and the young)]
“agreement”
When he came into contact with the waves created by the monster’s tentacles, flames shot out from his eyes. It wasn’t a metaphor, but a purple flame literally bloomed above his amethyst eyes. His latent psychic powers were affected and flowed out of his body.
[Zzzz …
“Agree!” “Odd Grad!” “Death!” “Necessary!” “Necessary!”
Adhai nods vigorously.
This allows me to take Gallagon’s genetic essence without damaging my relationship with him. It’s a shame that I can’t eat the Blue Gallagons though.
‘Everyone must leave, and Odd Grad must die unconditionally.’
It’s not just because he’s going to attack me, or because I need his genetic essence.
He is the one who abandoned Adhai. He is the one who gave an indelible scar to the one I cherish.
‘When everything is ready… .’
Odd Grad dies by my hand.
–
The icy plains where the King of Snakes lives.
A while ago, ten green-scaled beings were flying over the plains where the ground had become unstable due to a mysterious earthquake.
Their true identity was a tracking party sent by Odd Grad. They were searching for the remnants of the White Queen Ham Ort.
The Gallagon herd, having carefully surveyed the icy plains, concluded that there were no enemies here. The next place to go was far from their lair. It was a frozen canyon beyond the plains. It was the territory of the Beast King, but they paid no attention to it.
The King of Beasts is invincible on the ground, but cannot fly. If you encounter him, you can escape at any time.
In this way, the Gallagon horde invaded the Beast King’s territory without anyone’s permission.
The ten winged dragons crossed the deep canyon created by nature without any worries. When they reached the middle of the canyon, Gallagon, who was in the lead, spotted something.
Something was shining in that place that was so deep that light could not penetrate properly.
“stop”
“Traitor” “Found it?”
“Confirm” “Try”
The moment when the lead Gallagon approaches the light.
Dozens of red lights appeared on the cliff where the light was located.
“Enemy” “Wet… ”
In the midst of the ominous atmosphere, Gallagon tried to quickly release his ideology. However, his compatriots did not hear his ideology.
There was some unknown wave between them.
While he was panicking because the thought waves were not reaching him, red lights jumped down from the cliff. Dozens of unidentifiable beings with multiple legs climbed onto his body.
He tried to shake them off somehow, but it was no use. They mercilessly bit his wings with their sharp claws and teeth.
In a matter of seconds, he fell to the bottomless pit, covered in blood.
He wished that his people had escaped safely while he was being treated, but reality betrayed his expectations.
Because his nine companions were also falling into the abyss just like him.
On top of the cliff, another group of red lights looked down at them indifferently.
“10 hostile creatures subdued. Deployed as supply energy.”
“Depending on the amount of energy, ‘Pira Eleven’ is expected to recover up to 75%. It is expected that activities will be able to resume.”
“Deploying the recovery team and supply team…”
Red lights that constantly make unknown sounds even while falling with him.
Green Gallagon never knew what that sound meant.
