"It's about this time. The patrol convoy should be back, right? Let me see. Mobile version." On the top of a turret on the steel city wall of Glory Base City, a gunner looked around through the sight.
As a defense soldier stationed inside the base, most of the time you have nothing to do. This is a pretty boring position, but there are also special moments.
When wild beasts gather together and form a tide of beasts to attack the base, soldiers like them come in handy. However, in this case, usually boring occupations become high-risk occupations, and lives can be lost if you are not careful.
There are very few advantages in this special situation, and you won't encounter it even once in several years. Therefore, defense soldiers are also a relatively popular profession. After all, staying in the base city is absolutely not a free meal, and you have to do something.
"What is that?" The artilleryman who ran to look for traces of patrol troops out of boredom saw a scene through the scope that he would never forget.
A ferocious and majestic giant beast spread out its scarlet wings that seemed to be able to cover the sky, and flew from the far end of the horizon. Behind it, one after another giant beasts similar in shape to it, but slightly smaller, appeared one after another.
These behemoths demonstrate what is powerful and powerful. Every move of their powerful bodies is full of strong visual impact. This is the case for the gunner who happens to see them through the scope.
The moment the gunner saw these giant dragons, he was stunned. Then he reacted and couldn't help but take two steps back with a look of panic on his face. Then he thought to himself without hesitation.
red button.
Woo—
Harsh warning sounds sounded in the base city, and the red warning lights that made people feel extremely uncomfortable lit up one after another.
"Report, I have detected an extremely powerful group of flying wild beasts coming!"
The gunner sounded the alarm without much hesitation, and immediately opened the communicator to inform the base's top brass about the information he had just seen.
The gunner's reaction is very normal. In the world, apart from humans, there are wild beasts. These ferocious and majestic giant beasts in front of you can tell at a glance that they have nothing to do with their world. If this is the case, then they must be wild beasts. This
It doesn't require thinking.
But then, something happened that shocked the gunner even more, because he received an order from the base's command center,
"Stay alert, no firing without orders."
"Then I'm just going to watch like this?" the gunner asked in disbelief. Although he knew that the laser cannon in front of him had almost zero lethality against this super-large flying beast, it was too much to just let him wait for death.
It's a bit too much.
"What you see is not a wild beast, it may be our ally, but we cannot be sure of this, so please stay vigilant and remember not to attack."
"No, wait a minute, ally?" The gunner stopped the liaison officer who was conveying the order to him, because he doubted whether he had heard wrong just now and actually heard such ridiculous words.
"Yes, but I'm not sure yet."
After speaking, the liaison officer did not wait for the gunner's answer and hung up the communication directly. He still had other gunners who needed to be notified. Such soldiers who control important firepower points must be notified one by one.
With complex emotions full of extreme absurdity, feeling like a soldier who had not yet woken up from a dream, he once again looked through the scope of the laser cannon in front of him at the group of dragons that were gradually approaching in the distance.
But this time, he discovered an armored convoy that was setting off a dust dragon on the ground. It was the patrol convoy he just wanted to find. At this time, this convoy was following the group of dragons in the sky, approaching at almost the same speed.
base.
"Not a wild beast?" At this time, the gunner remembered the words of the liaison officer and began to observe the dragon group carefully. At this time, he finally discovered the difference. These giant beasts were different from any wild beast form he remembered.
Either these are a brand new species of unknown super-large wild beasts, or as just said, these are their allies.
Logically speaking, he should be leaning towards the former, but the armored troops below made him not think that the latter was more likely.
Because the wild beasts and humans are mortal enemies, they basically fight to the death when they meet. Either you die or I live, but in most cases, humans are defeated.
But the unknown behemoths he saw in front of him were in a state of peaceful coexistence with the armored troops below, and did not make the slightest move to attack.
Based on this, it seems that the identity of these giant beasts can be denied, but it cannot be completely denied. But what the gunner observed next completely shattered his three views.
Because he saw through the scope the head of the giant beast with armor-like scarlet scales at the front, and a short figure standing between its horns.
"Fenrir?" The gunner read out the name of this somewhat familiar figure in disbelief.
Brilliant Base City is neither big nor small. There are only a few Divine Machine Users in it. Basically, everyone knows about it, and the newly promoted Divine Machine Users are even more impressive.
.
"How could it be him? No, how could this kid stand in that position?" The gunner fell into a state of confusion and confusion, and now he had some doubts about reality.
"Ouch!" So the gunner grabbed the flesh of his thigh and twisted it hard. Then he couldn't help but scream in pain, and finally concluded, "I'm not dreaming."
"But how could such a thing happen?" After confirming that it was reality, the gunner became even more confused.
At this time, not only the gunners were confused, but all the soldiers on the steel city wall who happened to be on duty and participated in the defense were in a state of confusion, because the dragons in front of them were so big that only the blind could not see them.
Under the collective attention of all the defense soldiers, their patrol troops drove into the base city, and most of the unprecedentedly huge group of beasts that followed the patrol troops back stayed outside the base.
Among them, the most powerful beast with scarlet scales carried a divine machine user and entered the base. This caused great panic among the residents in the base.
When facing an ancient red dragon, humans who have not mastered extraordinary power can feel a sense of humility and insignificance from the bottom of their hearts. This feeling makes them unable to help but think when facing extraordinary creatures like giant dragons.
You must kneel down and worship.
The situation improved slightly after the base dispatched soldiers with strong enough psychological quality to maintain order, and after Muria asked Auston to restrain his pressure, but the panic could not stop spreading.
However, at this time, not only the people in the base were in panic, but the top brass of the base were also panicked.
However, unlike ordinary people, these people can still find a place to hide when they are panicking, but the base's top brass must stand up to greet Muria who comes riding this ancient red dragon.
Whether they want it or not, this is their duty, and they have to do it even if they don't want to.
…
"Don't be nervous. After all, I grew up in this base, and you are quite familiar with me." Seeing the slightly solemn atmosphere in the conference room, Muria looked at the base executives in front of him and said with a smile.
, broke the tranquility.
After hearing what Muria said, the eyes of these base senior officials suddenly showed mixed emotions. Through communication with the divine messengers who participated in this patrol, they already understood the general ins and outs of this emergency incident.
They already understood that the seemingly underage boy named Fenrir in front of them was actually a terrifying existence on the same level as the evil god who wanted to destroy their world.
His posture in front of you is just his disguise, not his true face.
The senior base officials who understood this couldn't help but shudder after thinking about this.
Because they recalled that they had actually lived with a terrifying being that could destroy them at any time for decades, and they were still ignorant about it. It was only now that the other party took the initiative to reveal his identity, and they were able to find out.
"I wonder what we should call you?" the commander-in-chief of the base carefully considered his words and then asked.
"Fenrir, you should still call me by this name. After all, you should be used to it."
"Isn't this good? Fenrir should just be the name you used to disguise yourself. Can't you tell us your real name?"
"You are so stupid that I want to laugh. As a mortal, you actually asked an epic for his real name. Do you really want to die?" Standing behind Muria, Ost transformed into a red-haired strong man.
Suddenly, after hearing the words of these weak and somewhat sad mortals in front of him, he immediately sneered and said.
"Sir, we don't understand what you mean." The base commander who was laughed at just for asking his name was a little confused, but at the same time he was also a little dissatisfied.
"Ants, you haven't figured out yet, what kind of existence are you facing now?" Auston raised his head with a look of arrogance on his face.
"Don't call his name, don't listen to his voice, don't look directly at his body. This is the existence you are facing now. His Highness deliberately suppressed his own power and turned into such a humble body to communicate with you. You must understand
Be grateful, but also know not to ask questions that you shouldn’t ask. There are many things that mortals like you cannot touch.”
"Then what will be the consequences if I know your name?" With dissatisfaction, but also curiosity, a base executive couldn't help but ask.
"There is a ninety-nine percent chance that you will die suddenly on the spot, and there is a one percent chance that you can become His Highness's dependent, but of the lowest kind."
