EP.810 People of the Forest.

All men are created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.

The right to happiness, liberty, and the pursuit of life… what wonderful words.

I believe that you, who have founded your country on such wonderful declarations, will understand why I do such things.

[Witness statement]

[Name: Wakan Maedoni]

[Nationality: Asha Empire]

[Affiliation: Asha Free Shipping Union]

…

… …

…

Asha’s merchant, Wakan, recalled the incident as follows:

– At first, I was shocked. Suddenly, the communists blocked the road and aimed guns at me… As soon as I saw them, I knew that the guns the robbers were holding were real. Real bullets don’t lie. On the other hand, the orc behind us didn’t know that and tried to turn the car around, but oh no! He almost got run over.

His top was at the very front of the road blocked by the ‘Children of the Red Star’.

-I knew it the moment I saw it because I often watched Olympia. The leader of the robber gang… was obviously a superhuman.

A gang of robbers led by superhumans.

-It was a riverside road with a river flowing next to it, so there was no way to escape.

A situation where five truckloads of goods had no choice but to be looted.

-If I had known this would happen, I would have taken out proper Earth insurance instead of the cheap Imperial insurance… Just as I was regretting that, that thing appeared behind me on the road. That thing? That red haze.

A crimson haze. Wakan, who saw the haze that was like a symbol of the red star, believed that the robber group was really related to the red star.

The communist who murdered the fearsome Ayatollah and burned down America’s front yard… The terrified Wakhan got out of the truck and knelt down. He was begging that even if he had to give up all his goods, he would at least spare his life.

-Please, just spare my life! The moment I was about to shout that, I felt Him.

A man walking out of the mist at a leisurely pace, neither too slow nor too fast.

-Red star.

The self-proclaimed ‘Children of the Red Star’ who discovered him were as surprised as Wakhan.

Some people blinked as if it was absurd, and some aimed their guns at the red star, but the important thing was that not a single person seemed happy.

-From the moment he appeared on the road, everything became quiet. Not even the sound of a truck engine or the common squeak of a fly could be heard. It wasn’t some kind of magic, but everyone was just overwhelmed by him and watched him walk.

It was an experience unlike any I had ever felt before, even when I saw His Majesty the Emperor from a distance, Wakan added.

-He stopped right next to me. It was a coincidence, but thanks to him, I was able to hear clearly what he said to the Red Star Children.

Who are you to dare to sell the name of the Secretary General?

-The moment I heard that, I couldn’t believe my ears. But when I saw a few of the robbers throw away their weapons and run away… I knew it was all true.

But most of the robbers did not run away, but stood next to the leader holding the microphone and prepared for battle. They looked so disciplined and disciplined that they reminded me of soldiers rather than robbers.

-There was something strange about the guys and the boss. They aimed their guns at the fake who dared to impersonate the secretary, shouting that they would kill him, even though he was obviously the real one.

But Red Star, far from being flustered, nodded as if he had expected this.

Wakan stared up at Red Star raising his hand, forgetting that he could easily get shot.

– Seriously, I will never forget that sight for the rest of my life. He was aiming at the robbers with his outstretched palm… .

Kill him!! The moment the gun barrel spits fire along with the rough shouts of the robber gang leader.

Red Star clenched his fist.

***

!!

The telekinesis that originated from Dawn’s hands shook the air faster than a bullet.

“Cough!”

The robber with his finger on the trigger let out a breathless scream, and dozens of bodies that had volunteered to be the Children of the Red Star simultaneously rose into the air.

The guys struggled and clawed at their necks as if they were caught in an invisible rope, but Dawn’s telekinesis was not a spell that could be broken by ordinary human strength.

But among the children of the Red Star, there were some who were not ordinary people.

The leader of the robbers with a microphone and the guy with the rocket.

The two simultaneously released a familiar flame spell from their hands. Hwaruk! The intense flames made of mana burned away the dawn spell.

‘Magic that burns magic?’

This was no ordinary robber. Yeomyeong used her telekinesis once more, maintaining the telekinesis she had used to strangle the other robbers.

It was just to see the guys’ orders one more time… but the two guys didn’t respond and started running away in different directions.

“Scatter!”

An escape without a shred of hesitation. It was more like the actions of a soldier than a robber or a mercenary. Yeomyeong watched the two guys running away outside the Azirang, then took out a submachine gun from her inventory.

A Mana Metal coated submachine gun stolen from a KGB ghost long ago.

After leisurely checking the medicine cabinet, Yeomyeong aimed the submachine gun above his head. Then, using his spatial sensing ability in the Jugashvili Azirang, he read the guys’ escape route and fired.

Doo doo doo doo – !!

The fired bullet flew towards the two robbers, repeatedly disappearing and appearing between the clouds like a flying fish swimming in and out of the sea.

And the next moment-

“Ugh!”

The bullets pierced the calves and ankles of the two men who were running away. As the men rolled on the ground, Yeomyeong put her gun away in a flash like a saint.

Shooting that applies the principles of the Sharpshooter and the subspace aiming ability learned from Browning’s Jin martial arts.

It was pretty useful, except for the minor(?) drawback that both the subspace jump and the deadly ability were only possible inside the Azirang.

Compared to the Saint or Delta Force, it was a bit lacking, but from now on, no one will be able to call Dawn an inferior in a firefight within the range of the Azirang.

“Damn, eat this!!!”

Just look at the rockets fired in a fit of rage by the guy who just fell to the ground. Yeomyeong didn’t dodge the rockets.

The incoming rocket warhead was intercepted with just three shots before it could damage the trucks on the road behind.

!!!

It was a clean interception that would have earned applause from Lieutenant Colonel Duke, who taught me how to use Sharpshooter, if he had been there.

Even the person who launched the rocket was shocked and flustered, while Yeomyeong clenched her fists.

Crack. The guy holding the rocket passed out after twisting his neck just enough to not kill him. Yeomyeong turned her head and looked at the last survivor, the leader of the bandit group.

The boy realized that further escape was impossible and took something out of his bosom with a determined expression.

7MZh3. Also known as Stalin’s pine cone.

The guy who had blown away the surrounding area and filled the magical tool with mana spoke to Dawn.

“Is it a real red star?”

Dawn nodded and answered.

“Unlike you fakes.”

“Ha, they say misfortune always brings its brothers….”

The guy who had been spouting French proverbs immediately blew fire magic into the pine cone. Self-destruction. Self-destruction without a moment’s hesitation.

But his pine cone failed to explode, as someone unseen kicked his grenade just before his fire magic reached its critical point.

“Invisibility cloak?!”

The guy who lost the grenade immediately realized what had happened. Neti approached him wearing an invisible cloak and kicked him in the jaw as a reward.

Bam! It was a perfect level of sniping, and the guy just slammed his head into the ground.

For someone who called themselves the Children of the Red Star, it was a rather vain end.

***

A while later, in a forest far from the riverside road.

“No matter how much I think about it, this is strange.”

Looking at the dozens of unconscious robbers, Somi-ri tilted her head.

“This many robbers right in front of the Elf Forest….”

Yeomyeong asked as she retrieved the guys’ guns from her inventory.

“The robbery is strange? Is the area around the Elf Forest surprisingly safe?”

“No? Of course it’s a mess.”

“… .”

“But that’s because of mercenary groups that illegally target elixirs, or professional elf hunters. This kind of robbery targeting the Ashai people… is unprecedented.”

“Unprecedented?”

“Robbery is ultimately about making money. If you’re going to rob, why not go after elixirs? Or a fertilizer truck? And that’s done by a gang of robbers with two magicians?”

Sure, it was a little strange. Compared to the elixir business, this kind of truck robbery was a crime that brought in little income and had a high probability of getting caught.

“And above all, it’s strange that you sold the name of Dawn. Robbery isn’t some organized crime, and the more secretive you are, the more profitable it is. But why sell the name of the most famous red star right now…?”

“…It sounds like there’s definitely another purpose.”

“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.”

While Yeomyeong and Miri were working together like that, Peroru, who was searching the leader’s body with Dilla, said.

“Excuse me, Secretary? I think you should take a look at this item here.”

“Did you find something?”

“Yes, this is the first time I’ve seen such a cell phone.”

What Perolu found was a military-grade smartphone with enhanced security and durability, a rugged phone.

‘Using a military smartphone on the topic of robbery??’

Yeomyeong approached him as if he was dumbfounded and checked the rugged phone. He couldn’t check the contents due to security reasons, but it was definitely military-grade. And most of all…

“Doesn’t this look like something I’ve seen somewhere?”

A word from Netty, who was looking at the same rugged phone.

As she said, Yeomyeong had seen this phone before.

The mercenary group I encountered on my way from Dreiterial to Gemini City… to be exact, the French Foreign Legion disguised as mercenaries were using the exact same rugged phone.

“france….”

Now that I think about it, there were a few awkward points. Especially the fire magic that cut off his telekinesis. It was similar to Auguste’s Précieuse.

But why is France selling his name to commit robbery?

As his doubts deepened, Yeomyeong woke up the robbers one by one and began to interrogate them.

-I, I just came because you offered me money! Seriously!

The guys who ran away as soon as they saw the red star, not even mercenaries or anything, burst into tears and begged for their lives.

-Meeting a real red star… What the hell, are you planning on torturing me like a communist? But it’s no use. We don’t know the details because we’re doing this after receiving a deposit.

The ones who didn’t run away were mercenaries. And they were mercenaries who worked in the Elf Forest.

-There aren’t many gentlemen going into the forest these days… I had no choice but to participate because of the money. Do you have any plans to hire us?

Dawn knocked out the mercenaries who were trying to negotiate with him, then woke up the two magicians who had been shot by him.

-I have nothing to say. Kill me.

-Tch.

As expected, the guys didn’t even open their mouths. Somi-ri was in the position of using torture and Lashk’s confession to get him to open his mouth, but Yeomyeong, who felt a slight ominous feeling, took a much more moderate approach, namely-

“Now I understand why Auguste hates the French army.”

I chose fraud. And that choice was right. The wizard who spat on Dawn’s feet flinched and trembled.

The leader of the gang glared at the guy, but it was too late. Yeomyeong said, throwing the rugged phone she found in his arms onto the floor.

“You have two choices. The first is to keep your mouth shut. The second is to tell me the truth and take a chance.”

“… Opportunity? What kind of opportunity are you talking about?”

“A chance to stop me from destroying Paris.”

“… .”

“The first socialist government, the Paris Commune, burned down Paris. In keeping with that tradition, we’re going to burn down the whole damn city.”

It was a simple threat, but the words carried a different weight. Externally, Red Star was the one who destroyed Apollo City.

“… .”

But the French army simply glared at the obvious robbers and said nothing. Yeomyeong took out the combination gun he had taken from Kim Philby and pressed it against the forehead of the robber leader.

Clank. The sound of the loader ringing through the cold barrel of the gun as the guy who had fired the rocket opened his mouth.

“Red Star, wait! I agree to negotiate! Cease fire!”

“Rahol!! There can be no surrender to the Foreign Legion!!”

The wizard named Rahel shook his head.

“Captain, this is not surrender. If we confront the Red Star in this situation, the Empire may-”

“Shut up! Our homeland is France, not an empire!!!”

What is this? Yeomyeong put away her gun and watched the two argue.

The Empire was something, France was something – the two raised their voices for a moment. The shout of the captain pierced Yeomyeong’s ears.

“A new Count? What did he do?”

“… .”

“It’s not those fakes that change the world! It’s true loyalty, and a great power that matches that loyalty! That fake count has no loyalty at all, he’s just a fake that the emperor made to cover the public’s eyes. Bam!”

At that moment, Miri, who was behind, hit the back of the captain’s head. Not only Yeomyeong, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, but also the magician Rahel and even Miri herself blinked in surprise.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it…”

“… .”

“But still, it’s better than losing, right? Right?”

If this continues, won’t all the lovers become saints? – Yeomyeong swallowed the eerie thought and turned her words to Rahel.

“Now tell me. Foreign Legion, why are you doing this here?”
