Kill the Dragon

“Yes, I understand. I'll take you now.”

The interrogator said something to the communicator. He handcuffs Yihan.

Huff.

Lee Han flinched at the feel of the metal. A little anger builds up in his eyes.

‘… Is this how you treat it? ’

Lee wanted to show her inside out. However, there is no way to prove it through words, no matter how sincere I am.

Jubbuck, Jubbuck.

Lee has walked the interior corridor of Terra Node, a submarine capable of accommodating more than 4,000 people. 320 meters long, 40 meters wide on average. Engage tack reactor 6. Terra Node-class nuclear submarines are also humanity's last free zone.

“The current Chief of Staff is John Red. ”

“You're up. Sergeant to Chief of Staff. ”

Lee Han said sarcastically.

“Sergeant is not an official class, and he was originally Arc's advisor. You didn't make sergeant. ”

“I'm just kidding... You don't have to say it in vain. ”

Lee said, shrugging. The interrogator continued walking silently ever since. He handed over Lee's identity to another soldier.

[John Red]

The name on the door. Lee Han made a subtle face. Sergeant Red, who once left Arc, is now acting as Chief of Staff. It was hard to see a man in front of him.

Queek.

The door opens. Sergeant Red sits in a clasp. He's much older than he used to be. Her hair was white and her wrinkles were deep enough to cast shadows.

“It's been a while. Hhan. ”

“So am I. Sergeant."

Sergeant Red sent a signal to someone else to get out. Only Sergeant Red and Lt. Hana remain in the room.

“No greetings, no small talk. There are no wiretaps here. Hmph. Tell me everything you know. ”

Red said straightforward. Lee sat down, handcuffed.

Can I trust the sergeant? Do I trust Sergeant Red as much as Silence does? ’

Lee shakes his head for a moment.

‘Sergeant Red is like the head of the Ark. If you don't tell the sergeant, who will you tell? We have to trust Arc to get his help. ’

Lee slowly looked at Sergeant Red. Sergeant Red looks at Lee with tired eyes. It was similar to Chief of Staff Alexander. Humans repeating their choices to choose the worst from the worst become corrupted.

‘Whom should we save? Beyond the dilemma, who should we sacrifice?' should be selected. Even Sergeant Red, who had a strong mind, could not escape the strain. There are two human outcomes to that position. Either you feel numb to the consequences of your choices, or you die of guilt.

‘Maybe I'd rather die with Oracle. ’

Sergeant Red did his best. He is not weak or irresponsible enough to let go of his role. That's why I was suffering for myself.

“Three years ago, I was as good as dead here. because my very existence was not here in time. ”

Sergeant Red's eyebrows twitch.

“Did you get a time machine from an alien in space? ”

“I'm glad you got a time machine. Dragons also have the ability to travel through time. They have the power to control space-time itself. Even if the dragon itself is a newcomer, like Olympus in mythology, it's no exaggeration. They're more complicated than we thought. ”

Sergeant Red cuts off the tip of the cigar and sets it on fire. He bends forward. I focused on Lee Han's story.

“Keep talking. Hahn. Interesting. It's the funniest story I've heard since the old days. ”

Sergeant Red grins, twitching his lips.

Lee explained to Sergeant Red step-by-step what he had experienced. Clearly identified a causal relationship with the time zone. Complex stories and the structure of events are difficult to understand at once. One-to-one dragon time zones and Earth time zones create a paradox of occurrences. That contradiction is resolved somewhat over time.

“Silver found us. Silver gave us a chance. Is he responsible for everything? ”

“If it weren't for Silver, we would have been destroyed 15 years ago. But from a different point of view, you've got 15 years of silver. ”

“Is that why there are only Silver Colors that can open the Dimensional Gate, and there are occasional occurrences of Silver and other dragons? ”

“The Great Invasion is due to the massive creation of gates through the new Silver Hive. 15 years in our time zone, but five years on that side. Two, three years if it's short. Space travel through the dimensional gate itself is also time travel, so the time zone itself is not symmetrical. There are no rules. Well, the odds are they had a longer timeframe. ”

“I see they don't fully understand the regularity of space-time and use their abilities. ”

“The species of dragon is unknown and uncertain. They don't even know their own origins. Most importantly, why do they want to kill humans? There are no reasonable answers here. The first person to question that was Silver. ”

Sergeant Red ponders for a moment and opens his mouth.

“When we see bugs, we instinctively feel disgusted. I think it's in a similar context. ”

“Similar similarities to us, Eluna monkeys and ogres, if you ask the broad question, will have similar aversion. But a dragon is only filled with murders about humans. almost obsessive-compulsive. ”

Lee continued to find the answer to this question.

"Why do dragons hate humans? ’

It's not just emotional aversion. Hate is a close order of affirmation that resembles the instincts of life. The silver that rejected it is a unique being.

Lee drank water. I felt like my throat was burning.

“The answer to that can be found later. The problem we face is sticking that spear into Silver Hive's head. ”

“To find Silver Hive, we need the help of Arc and Citadel- both. Against Hive... ”

Suddenly, Sergeant Red grins, revealing his teeth.

“Don't worry about it. We already killed two Hives. We haven't been on the run for three years. As you say, you will be resurrected soon enough. Well, not when you smile. I can't believe the people I killed keep coming back to life... Not Jesus' second coming. ”

Sergeant Red considers his sacrifice. A tremendous sacrifice was made to kill two Hives.

‘If we didn't know the Hive was coming back to life, we would have thought the Bahamas were endless. ’

The Bahamut class of three dragons, the Hive, resurrects. Sergeant Red thought it best to keep this a secret. I'm worried that the soldiers will lose morale. There were a lot of soldiers who would settle down if they knew that the Hive that had killed the most difficult things would come to life. There are more than one or two soldiers who have reached their mental limit. Everyone is in jeopardy

“The Hive? ”

“You can read the report about that later. I don't want to use my mouth to describe a phrase. Wait at the Terra Node for now. I need to talk to the Deputy Commander. ”

“X.O.?”

Arc was vacant. The next position as Commander was the Chief of Staff.

“Colonel Tobias. Think of it as an American superintendent. ”

“… I don't think that's a good idea. ”

“That's right. But we shouldn't be without him. The crew moving the terranode is not from the arc, but from the U.S. Navy. Arc is in charge of combat. They're in charge of operations and administration. Anyway, get out of here. Allow free will, but keep out of trouble. And if you come in contact with the Citadel, you'd better not tell anyone. ”

Terranodes and arcs had complex systems of command. Sergeant Red's authority is limited to combat. Lee's opponent with Sergeant Red was also appealing because he strongly insisted.

“I understand.”

Lee bowed in reverence for a short time. Sergeant Red designated the soldier outside to take his place. Lee followed their directions to the room.

“Ha.”

I sighed loudly when I entered the room.

‘I did it first. This is as far as I go.’

Lee looked at the security cameras on the ceiling. Lee Han's men are being watched.

‘The atmosphere is not better than the Citadel. ’

Lee sensed the overall atmosphere of the terranode. There was a deep depression. They have lived in a closed submarine for a long time. I had to avoid it mentally. It seemed to sink indefinitely into the depths of the Apocalypse. Even the light seemed like an invisible floor.

"Everywhere I go, there's nothing but despair. ’

Some reinforcements and soldiers came to greet him when they heard Lee was back. Some welcomed and some grumbled. Some thought that Lee was hiding for three years. They were not happy to return. There was always cynicism in their accidents.

Why did you come three years ago? I'll stay hidden. ’

No one else can know what's going on. People only see what they can see. There is no way to find out the deep details. That's why misunderstandings are piled up.

‘There are many who don't like it. Not that I don't like it, but that no one does. You're negative for one small reason. ’

Lee looked at their reactions carefully.

“What about Knut and José? ”

Lee asked. The soldiers' faces turned dark. I was reluctant to mention them.

“Knut will know if you go to the Hangar. You'd better see for yourself. ”

I don't know what that means right now. Lee moved on his own without asking them. In the hallway, a strange face and a familiar face tangled together. They looked into this and heard what the mob was saying.

‘Hangar.’

Lee found the Hangar without difficulty. You stand in a hangar with psychoframes. Under it, the technicians were busy moving.

“It's Ihan. I heard he was here, but he's so busy. ”

One of the technicians recognized this. He was a member of the 3rd Technology team. He was a member of Okto's team.

“I hear Knut's here. ”

“Knut, take aisle four. Okto will be there. No, you won't be able to see your face anyways. Wait here.”
