Kill the Dragon

The Kazakh community made plans for the migration. Clustering at once is dangerous. I spread out the people and the baggage, and worked on different routes. Lee stayed at the Kazakh Community Shelter for longer than the original schedule.

It's been over a week and I'm almost ready to move.

Kirik.

Lee looked at Simon entering the warehouse. Outsiders were busy preparing to move.

Bang.

Simon was doing something alone in the warehouse. Lee stayed here for a week because of Simon's actions. There were many holes in the Kazak community's migration plan. The danger of genocide is too great for my feet.

“Is the method psychoframe? ”

Lee said, looking at Simon. Simon was wearing a rusty psychoframe. Most of the unnecessary armor has been removed, reducing its weight. Plus, there are no arms and legs parts. The only psychoframe left in the chest is 10 kilograms, tops.

“More like protective gear than psychoframes. No limbs, just breasts and helmets. ”

Simon tightens the screws on his flank. It's part of a psychoframe I've seen many times.

“I thought it was strange. Given the dragon's flight radius and range of activity, it's very likely to happen during the migration. Someone has to tie the dragon's feet. ”

Lee quickly realized the ‘sacrifice’ needed for the plan. Simon nods, smiling.

“Yes. If we're lucky, it won't come out. We don't make up missions that depend on luck. ”

We meant the boys trained in the arc. Luck is luck. It's the worst way to plan for good luck. Lee Han and Simon know that too. It's crazy to wish for favors and mercy against dragons.

“Cable?"

Lee checked Simon's equipment. I was bad at pretending.

“Nothing. It was up to my arm... but as you can see, I lost it all. ”

“All the moving parts are gone. Do you have any air beats left? ”

“No.”

Lee Han frowned. He pulls out his equipment. Two airbeats, one grappling gun.

“We need to boost mobility. And take it off. I'll wear it. ”

“Psychoframes can only be worn by the wearer. I'm sure you know. ”

Simon says, refusing. Lee shakes his head.

“That's when you use it with the precision set. Psychoframes that are left in the torso don't need to be fully balanced. It's a simple piece of protection, like you said. ”

Psychoframe is a tool for one person. Initial production specifications were the same, but they vary greatly in customization and settings. It is a robe made of complex mobility and strength. But now Simon's psychoframe is a wearable breastplate.

“Don't stand there like a box of thorns. This is my problem. You're on your way. ”

Simon cynically said. I hated paying my debt to Lee Han before and now.

“It's not the toebox. The two of us can kill a dragon. ”

“Barefoot? That's funny.”

Simon laughs. No one thinks about killing dragons naked. If that's possible, there's no reason to spend an astronomical budget developing a psychoframe. Dozens and hundreds of sickers can do it, even if they can.

Lee had a lot on his mind in the Citadel. You can't catch a dragon without a psychoframe? Not in Lee's mind. Prerequisites are tricky but possible.

‘It is possible if there are more than one sicker with a lot of experience subjugating dragons. ’

The pattern of one dragon is simple. The problem is its devastating power. Once attacked, the naked biker dies. It's serious to touch.

‘Like never getting hit. You can read the dragon's attack trajectory and patterns perfectly, place the airbeats, and move along the specified route. ’

Based on the existence of dragon weapons, one skilled supporter and one striker is theoretically possible. Simply compare psychoframe reinforcements with psychokick soldiers, the difference between durability and mobility. Can withstand more hits and move faster. If you have the experience to make up the difference and have the judgment to read ahead - it is possible to catch a dragon without a psychoframe.

‘Of course, this operation requires experience in fighting in psychoframes. You have to have that feeling in your body. ’

Simon looks at her. I knew it wasn't a joke.

“Are you serious?"

“Think about it. At the end of the war, we fought avoiding every dragon attack. As the experience of the subjugation grew, he made fun of them. In short, the problem is maneuverability. We're not as fast as we used to be in psychoframes. It's an experience - to fill that gap. Instinct and experience accumulating dragon attack patterns. ”

“You're crazy. You're crazy. ”

Simon utters a profanity that is almost admirable.

“Simon, I'm not suggesting the impossible. ”

“I know. Yeah.... Crazy, but not bad. ”

Simon laughs. It's a silly idea, but I think I can do it if I can. If Lee hadn't gone crazy in the last three years. The words from his mouth are always a feasible operation.

In this operation, the person in the role of Striker should be equipped with protective gear. Of course, Lee Han is very talented. Besides, Simon lost his limb.

Kieing.

Simon takes off his protective gear. He put protective gear on his body and tightened the screws.

“Why are you risking your life for me? Han.”

Lee has no benefit from helping Simon. Simon will not join Lee Han. Rather, fighting for your life in a place like this is not a reasonable judgment.

“Why did you push me back then? ”

Lee had always wanted to ask after that day. Simon was attacked by Bahamut on his behalf. Simon acted, knowing his life would be in danger. Lee asked the question that he had buried.

“Why do you think I did it? ”

Simon and Lee answered each other's questions with questions. Lee closed his eyes slightly instead of frowning.

“Maybe it's because I feel dirty? Like I am now. If I leave you alone, I'll feel very dirty and uncomfortable. It's gonna be a hard memory to forget. ”

Lee said, "Simon laughs out loud.

If he judged by efficiency and reason, Lee should leave here. He has a more important mission. It would be foolish to put your own life in danger.

‘If I leave without knowing Simon, the risk will surely be reduced. In conclusion, I have a big role to play in staying alive and ending this war. Fair enough. Fighting for your life here is meaningless in the long run. Saving them doesn't make for a useful war effort. ’

Lee knows how to think rationally without emotion. That was his strength, his secret to survival.

‘But the means should not be the objective. ’

The logic of biting the tail escapes Sudan's trap. Lee Han essentially began with an emotional compassion to protect the people around him. Even if it takes a little more risk, Lee acts to protect people. Reasonable thinking is just a tool.

‘We do not act recklessly with emotion, but we must not rationalize ourselves as a result of reason. You have to protect the middle. ’

It was very difficult. If hunger and day-to-day competition had been the case in the past, I would not have had this conflict. He chose a swift path for survival and results without hesitation. Everything was justified in front of the Declaration of Survival. However, Lee gradually realized. There may be more important things in this world than survival.

‘Maybe it's just because you're stronger than you are, you're full of it. But even in this barren life, there are those who give up their chances of survival and help others. ’

Making Omega-1 make extreme judgments is human, and it is human to save people for no cost. Omega-1 is human, Franko is human, and Kuro is human.

And Lee understood Simon's choice. Protect the person you value Simon's choice was humane enough.

‘Simon's right, and I'm right. You have to respect Simon's ideas. I'm not the Omega. ’

Lee Han checked the psychoframe breastplate that had been worn. I wasn't uncomfortable moving.

“As per the calculations, if there are no mistakes, you will definitely win. We're the best in the field. No problem.”

Lee said again and again. He takes a deep breath with Simon and devises a command system. They've been breathing for a long time. It's been three years, but it didn't take them long to reconcile their hands and feet. They're armed and out. The Kazak community is ready to move.

A crude wagon transformed into a crude wagon that looked shoddy but strong and sturdy. The rough terrain passed without a problem. It was just the noise. The engine was loud enough to hear it from afar.

Buang.

Ihan and Simon take the battle vault to the hills. Ihan fired a flare.

Phew! Phew!

You climb up with the sound of the flare tearing.

“Keep moving. ”

Lee said, Simon drove the car without using his hands. Simon who manipulates prosthetics and prosthetics with his mind anyway. It was more convenient to drive a vehicle with impulsiveness.

Click.

Yihan fired a flare at a constant interval. Smoke puffed up in the sky.

‘This will attract the attention of the dragons and create the timing for the migration team to move. ’

If there is a dragon nearby, it will appear from the flare.

‘The best part is that dragons don't show up. ’

It is best to avoid combat. Lee looked at the map and moved on to the next point. You finish your search by circling around the shelter. If the dragon doesn't show up, it means there aren't any dragons nearby. Once he's moved out of the way, it's perfect.

I waited for the dragon to appear with a firm expression. After a long time, there was no response.

“Now I shoot blue. ”

Lee told Simon. Shoot the blue and the migration team will leave.

Nod.

Simon nods. Ihan shoots a blue flare. The blue smoke rises.

“Is this lucky? Ha.”

Simon laughs. The dragon does not come out.

“Not yet.”

Lee did not open his eyes, looking up at the sky. He shoots a series of flares. The flare box was also visible at the bottom.

Kuooooooo!

Lee's eyes chased the eastern sky. The harsh crying tore the sky.

“East!”

Simon turns the car around. His eyes tremble with anxiety.

“Damn, that's the direction of the migration. ”

Lee Han and Simon fired a flare like that, but they didn't match the direction the dragon appeared. Immigration will happen before Lee and Simon arrive. It went against my expectations from the start. The dragon did not take the bait called a flare.
