Kill the Dragon

00137 # 21 Citadel

Lee understood Omega-1 and Kuro's choices. I know the context of the process. He was preparing for the aftermath of the war, just like Omega-1. The omega was just a little more aggressive and extreme. The essential directionality of problem-solving was the same. If the humans take out the bikers, the bikers have to stick together.

What will happen to Saiker? No one knows that. If there is a dimensional rift connected to the two systems, the Saiker will continue to be born. There is no guarantee that the war will end. Dimensional gates may remain closed, but there may be scars and dimensional cracks in space-time.

“Killing dragons is not the end. ”

Kill the Hive, the essence. They are immortals. Survive by borrowing another individual's body.

‘I need Silver's help to win the war. ’

Kuro is definitely strong. But being strong is not enough to win.

"The Citadel is a half-breed. I need a psychoframe. Not just the Cyclops, but the other troops that are still out there. ’

A gathering of all competencies is required. Lee did not talk about silver. Information is always powerful. I don't intend to divulge important information more easily than Omega-1 is a key figure in the Citadel.

‘I must also contact Arc. ’

Lee made plans for the future. He thought, writing letters on paper.

‘Arc-related military groups and their first objectives were achieved. As expected, the tissue is in a distributed state of force. The comms are down. Omega-1 will hold me back. Kuro cannot leave the Citadel easily. ’

Lee came to a conclusion.

‘What I need now is a psychoframe and equipment. And a trusted colleague. ’

Kuro and Omega-1 are having a hard time emptying the Citadel. They have a mission to protect the Citadel from the threat of dragons and minions. If they are attacked while they are away, hundreds and thousands of casualties will occur.

"The Citadel's soldiers are also on several missions. ’

The Citadel wasn't built just for the Cyclist. Of course, I put up a banner for the dragon. That's why the Citadel is recruiting bikers and raising troops.

‘The Citadel is gathering scattered sickers. They accept other talents they need. ’

The first zone is a zone for sickers. In the second district, there were high-ranking personnel such as scientists and doctors. It is simply because it is difficult to maintain such a large community with a sicker alone. With the exception of the soldier, no matter how good the personnel were, they did not receive them unless they were Saikers.

"The Citadel only accepts minimal weapons for survival. Only the sickers have the power to stabilize the Citadel system. ’

Lee found the structure of the Citadel. Multiple rulings of the Minority Elite. This is possible because a few have more power than many.

Chuck!

The passing soldiers saluted Yihan. It was a clumsy gesture. Lee was well-known among the soldiers.

‘There was a reason why the soldiers' speech changed after hearing my name. ’

A hero who has been ferociously oxidized during the Bahamut siege. The soldiers recognized that he had returned from the brink of death. Omega-1 heroized the dead bikers to give them pride. Among the people who were so heroic was Yihan. He was famous for killing Bahamut.

I saluted him briefly. He went to the gym. The eyes of the soldiers who were exercising chased after Lee.

‘You have to build a whole body. Here you can eat and rest well. ’

The reinforcement body undergoes significant changes with a slight stimulus. A full day is enough to make a body. That's enough to deal with psychoframes.

“Hahn, are you exercising? ”

Kuro in sunglasses walks in. His officer coat flutters in splendor. The soldiers in the training room stood up and saluted Kuro.

“Everyone take a break. ”

Kuro briefly told the soldiers. It seemed familiar to me.

Lee Han did not salute. He raises his weight and fills up to a certain number.

“I've lost a lot of stamina. If you wear a psychoframe with this body, your whole body will crumble. ”

Under the remarkable performance of second-generation psychoframes is the burden of the wearer. It cannot withstand the movement of the psychoframe unless it is a strong musculoskeletal body unique to the body.

“Yeah, that's why you're exercising. I thought you were a little skinny. Oh, don't everyone be nervous. Make yourself at home."

Kuro looks at the soldiers and says again. The soldiers who heard it were not at ease.

‘Everyone is looking at Kuro. Kuro is an authoritative commander. It's not just a scarecrow. ’

Lee quickly noticed the reaction around him. An Omega-1 commander, but the soldiers treated Kuro as a commander. Kuro has that much power.

“I need to drink something. Let's get out.”

Lee said without a doubt. Kuro won't leave here without this. It was Yihan who had lived a lifetime of eating.

‘You're still a little blunt. Tell him to relax. There's no way he can relax. ’

Kuro has been relentlessly pursuing him for several days. Such behavior was not so different from that of the Arc. Lee Han is still like a good brother to Kuro. Maybe he's the only family I've got.

“Don't you need more exercise? You're sweating. ”

Kuro said he felt the soldiers' gaze on his back. I heard a voice urging me to leave quickly. There was no telepathy.

“I'm not feeling well today. This is as far as I go.”

“You're not feeling well? Oh, my God, do you need a doctor? ”

Kuro shudders. Lee went out of the gym, tapping Kuro's shoulder with his hand. They sat in the break room and drank an ionized drink. It was a huge luxury to choose the drink I wanted to drink.

"The first district has the same standard of living as before. I've had enough of this civilization's self-interest. ’

The truck driver was right. He deserved to send his son here. Treated as good. No need to worry about food.

“Hahn. You don't have to exercise. ”

Kuro throws the can in the trash. I picked up the lost can with impulsive force and inserted it properly.

“Why?”

“You don't have to fight anymore. I and the soldiers here will take care of it. Just relax. You haven't had a good rest in a long time. ”

It was a sweet thing to say. I thought about it several times. I wanted to throw away a heavy burden and lie down.

‘But we're all going to die. ’

Only Yihan knows what dragons are. Killing a dragon won't end the war. The Hive will continue to rise, and the dragons will be summoned to attack again.

“Kuro, I'm not a ornamental doll. ”

Lee said coldly. Kuro flinches.

“I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. ”

“I know. I know you're worried about me. But we have work to do, right? The war is not over. Dragons are still flying in the sky. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

Lee looked through the information he had collected at the Citadel. He was impressed with the data.

“This is Silence, right? ”

Lee gave out the paperwork. It was a two-year track record. It is about an unaffiliated psychoframe enhancer. Reinforcements found intermittently from Western to Eastern Europe, psychoframe colors are said to be black, and twin swords are used for weapons. There can't be many reinforcements that handle two swords.

“Probably. No, I'm pretty sure it's Silence. We tried to make contact, but we failed. I don't know what you're thinking, but it doesn't look like you're going back to the arc. ”

Kuro said with sagging eyebrows.

“It's hard to know what he's thinking. ”

It was also hard to predict what Silence was thinking. He was thoughtless because he was speechless.

‘But my guess is Silence should still be at the arc. I didn't expect to leave the arc first. ’

Lee thought that and looked at Kuro. He shakes his head slightly.

‘This is an arrogant idea. You can't trust my prediction. The information I know is from three years ago. Just as Kuro has changed, so have others. Based on that time, there is no way that it will match back and forth. ’

People change. Not to mention the teenage boys. They're still growing. I don't know myself, but this has changed a lot.

“I'll be in touch. ”

Lee was going to meet Silence. Silence is still an outstanding cyker. Tracking records in the Citadel suggest Silence encountered minions and dragons. I've been fighting alone for over two years with a psychoframe that hasn't been properly serviced. He was once called the best fighter.

“It's dangerous out there. I don't want hahn to leave. ”

It's dangerous out there. The dragons don't know when they'll show up. Minions roam the ground. It is a difficult environment to survive even a trained psychic.

“There's nothing to do here. Kuro, I didn't come back here to relax. ”

Lee Han revealed a strong will. Kuro couldn't stop him any more.

“Then bring Silence. This way.”

“I will. ”

Lee prepared to leave the Citadel. I've gained enough health. In the meantime, Omega-1 often came to Yihan. Omega-1 cautiously tried to turn back.

‘It is fundamentally objectionable. ’

Lee understood the idea of Omega-1, but did not cooperate. Omega-1 was extreme and dangerous.

“Think about it. Alpha. The Old World system has collapsed anyway. We need a new order. You and I can lead that order far enough. You can fill my gaps. ”

The directionality of Lee Han and Omega-1 was similar. There were differences in methodology and means. Omega-1 chose and executed only the last means that Lee had in mind.

‘Omega-1 takes human lives lightly. You can never walk with me. ’

Omega-1 could have achieved its goal by killing innocent people if necessary. In Lee's mind, it was so.

‘Am I right or is Omega-1 crazy...? ’

We must not take human lives lightly. This is the end of the moment when I think of the sacrifice as natural... The words hit my brain. He said to himself: Lee made a commitment a long time ago. I decided never to become insensitive to sacrifice and death.

Twitch.

Lee looked at his hands thinking like that.

‘Maybe I'm numb enough already.... ’

I will read it and write a magazine because it is a little less than usual. (Reviews will not count towards capacity ^ ^;)

# 1 The name PsychoFrame is a matter of fact, but what I actually picked up was the game Warframe. It feels like a combat frame, so it's called a psychoframe.

# 2 Psychoframe looks like a heavy exoskeleton from the movie 'Elissium' or 'Edgeoftomorrow' + the powerarmor from the game 'Fallout'. A mid-mounted enhanced outfit.

Think of the second generation of novels as the most advanced combat suit in SF. I didn't have any details about my appearance because it was my style that liked detailed descriptions, and I thought it would be better if you imagined your reader's favorite style suit and put it into a novel. I don't think there's a better description of detail than you can imagine. In the same context, even the appearance of a person is minimal.

# 3 Killer Dragon didn't think it was SF. I only caught it in the near future to get the reinforcement soldier's desire for a modified body + reinforced exoskeleton suit. I didn't see much of SF, and I saw mostly reinforcements + future warfare. The hardening of the reinforcement bottles in the Killer Dragon is a very personal element.

# 4 The reason Sergeant Red is a Sergeant is because all the grumpy instructors are old Kleese, the Sergeant.
