Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 528

[528Tue] Brave Meets Brave

Since Saint Deoni was the only one here who knew that I was involved with the guys called Special Operations Command, she was the only one who naturally noticed me..

However, even if it was me, I had no intention of trying to force myself to attack Ura just because the special task force came out. The reason I entered the Demon Territory was to help the church, not to find a clue to revenge..

It would be nice to get involved, but that is a secondary priority..

"If the special task force had intervened, isn't there a possibility that it would have ended long ago??"

"If that were the case, it wouldn't have ended up as a disadvantage. I think it is right to provide support as quickly as possible.."

"It's true that this news is recent, but we've been in the realm of beastmen longer than you might think. Wouldn't the story be different if I was just wandering around because I couldn't approach it??"

The others had a heated discussion for the first time in a while and tried to analyze the situation. Some cautiously suggested that it might be better to bypass Raitor altogether..

"Can you tell us exactly how many troops the Special Operations Unit has and why reactions are so divided??"

And that sight made me think that I should first figure out what exactly it means that the guys from the Special Operations Department showed up in Raitor..

Most of the demons I encountered while inland were probably special operations forces, but they were closer to a back-operations unit prepared to utilize the 3rd Army combat troops who could not fight properly on the front lines..

Now that I have played at the front line a few times, I know. The Special Operations Unit in my memories is definitely different from the guys who rolled around on the battlefield in terms of experience. It was mostly like that, except for the crazy demon bastard who suddenly dived from above the Imperial Academy and made a mess and was killed by the Esmueh SS and the commie who became the first victim of a neck slit..

However, the special operations team in the Demon Territory are perceived as the ultimate weapon of the Demon King's army. The proof is that the opinions of those in command are split in half..

"Ah, the warrior is a human race, so you probably don't know much about them.."

After a silent game of guessing, Count Timsiv, the (former) manager of Rengie, who had come to a consensus after a silent game of guessing, continued speaking while stroking the beard that had grown thickly under his plump cheeks, as if he had really eaten hard during the festival..

"The Special Operations Command is an independent unit created by the Demon King of the time when he took the throne. It is a group managed so secretly that few even those in the military know its specific organization, but in social circles it is treated like the Devil's personal guard.."

"Not in the military, but in social circles??"

"Its position in the military is so clear that it is not even worth mentioning. The Special Operations Division is the highest commanding authority on the battlefield. Even if there are people there that they cannot control, they are equal but not below them.."

I wondered if this authority made any sense, but according to the following explanation, it feels like the Special Operations Department itself is a hound and cleaner dispatched by the devil, so it seems to be close to an essential authority for handling work..

However, he explained that there has never been a case of showing up in a well-functioning army and causing confusion in command..

"Of course, this is based on rumors, so we don't know if things have been properly cleaned up to the point where rumors won't spread.."

At least from the looks of it, the only time they show up is after something big happens or happens..

Most of these issues are serious enough to cause repercussions that commanders would like to avoid, so it is said that there are only a handful of people within the Demon King's Army who are opposed to the position of the Special Operations Division as a higher-level unit..

"Aside from that, the reason why the Special Operations Unit is highly regarded in social circles is because of a person named Soha Shinor.."

Just as I was about to ask him what he was doing again, I made eye contact with Karl Kansi, who was listening to the story. And I saw and understood the actions he took..

The hero of the rumor about the salty warrior.

It was the first time I heard his name..

The explanation that followed was more specific and factual than what Karl Kansi had given. The problem was that the supplementary story was more, not less, than the rumors that Carl Kansi shared with me..

They say they killed not half of the rebels, but close to 80% of them. Everyone who listened was dumbfounded, but Count Timsiv and the others who spoke were extremely serious..

"Until now, the hero was... hmm, hmm.."

"it's okay. please keep talking."

"thank you Anyway, at the time, there was even talk about whether he was a hero. Since such a major incident occurred in front of the capital, the results that those who like to talk about in social circles diligently investigated and guessed were..."

"They say it's the devil's personal guard.."

"you're right."

They say it was only once that they showed such a performance, but that one time was too big..

Because it was in front of the capital, there were many witnesses, so there was no room for misunderstanding. The incident in which the rebels were blown away with a single blow served as an opportunity to vertically raise the status of the Special Operations Division, which had previously been rumored to be nothing more than a clean-up unit..

In fact, it is said that not long after, it became known that agents of the Special Operations Department had disposed of a large number of remnants of the rebels, making its position even more solid..

If you look at it that way, you might think that it is truly a threat and you might want to avoid it, but for those who rebelled against the Demon King's army and turned their backs on their hometown, being an enemy with superior military force is no different from a natural phenomenon..

What they truly felt as a threat was the special task force's ability to quickly get things done based on such hidden force..

Quick, accurate, strong, powerful.

When the Special Operations Unit appears, it quickly achieves its purpose. This is why, as soon as the news first came in, we had no choice but to have a heated discussion about whether this information was really up-to-date or somewhat outdated..

If they were determined to put an end to the internal strife in Raitor..

And if that attempt started from the moment we entered the beast people's territory,.

In that case, Count Timsieve explained that not only is that information already too late, but there is a possibility that it may have degenerated into ‘wrong’ information that could put us in danger..

"I'd like to believe that since we were in the realm of beastmen, they wouldn't have been able to completely trace our footsteps... but if they had decided to organize Raitor in advance just in case, that place would already be in the palm of the Demon King's army. And Raitor is a different case from the County of Birrear. It is a place where troops are more threatening than strong castle walls.."

If you give up and bypass Raitor's gate, it will take a long time and other variables may arise, but you can avoid having to deal with Raitor's troops and the special task force together. It was the basis provided by those who claimed bypass, and it was quite understandable..

Does that mean that their claim to go to Raitor is nothing more than groundless nonsense? That was not the case..

They argued that crows are just animals that are not related to demons, so if the telegram from Raitor came a long time ago, it would have passed through the beast people's territory and reached us. In the first place, we presented the extremely common sense rationale that the territory of beastmen is nothing more than a boundary divided by us..

Since there has been no history of receiving telegrams from crows in the beastmen's territory so far, it was only a fictitious remark, but it was an extremely valid remark since the barrier the beastmen had set up had no effect of forcibly blocking the inflow of the outside world..

So you should go and help. We cannot abandon those who are fighting against evil just by guessing. Those who had to go to Raitor argued so..

Naturally, those who made different claims were divided into priests, knights, and nobles, and it was even more problematic because neither of them were particularly wrong. You might think that just sending out a scout would be enough, but since we were quite far away from Raitor, we couldn't hold out here until the scout came back after checking the situation..

A situation where one is forced to choose between two options. Even if I left out the Special Operations Department, I already had a greater desire to go to Raitor, but if I voiced my opinion first, people could see how I felt and be swayed, so I decided to keep my mouth shut and wait to see the reactions..

Even Carl Kansi, who had been looking at the map alone for a while, was unable to find a way to compromise and was shaking his head. Surprisingly, it was Emmett who revived the atmosphere in the command center, which was starting to gradually become overheated..

"Opinions seem to be divided in two.."

Emmet, who attracted attention with a word in a low voice that was neither loud nor soft, naturally looked at Saint Deoni and turned away the attention of the people who were focused on him..

"I think it's time to make a decision."

Everyone's gaze was directed at the saint, but this time, about half of them were divided by the saint's gaze and turned to me..

I was looking at the saint silently, trying to organize my thoughts to think about what to say to make it sound good, and the saint, who was quietly contemplating with both hands covering her mouth, muttered softly..
