Chapter 186
186Tue bound for USA(1)
A night when dusk falls. Inside the king's tent set up in the field, there is a quiet air..
"······."
A pile of documents being handed over. Even on the battlefield, the Lionheart King must engage in his duties as a king..
Broken roads and tax revenue issues, issues of dispatching troops necessary for unrest in various regions, and conflicts of interest between multinational coalition forces..
The sound of the pen tip scratching the texture of the paper is unusually loud..
"······."
Blue eyes that look exactly like the Lion-Hearted King stare at him..
Except for the jet-black hair like ebony that contrasts with the gorgeous gold, the uprightness of the upright posture and prominent facial features suggest a blood relationship between the two people..
"What's going on? Prince Dragonia."
"This is a request for supplies for the Anti-Air Force, Your Majesty.."
However, the titles we call each other are rigid. The fact that they call each other by honorifics even in places like this is probably not just a matter of their personalities..
After they lost one person, there was no one to lubricate them..
"Then I'll just leave.."
As if she had nothing to do other than official business, the daughter stood up to leave her father's tent. What stopped her like that was her father's voice..
"Karina."
Leon’s voice becomes softer. It was handled with care, as if handling pottery that was hanging in a precarious position as if it might break at any moment..
"Would you like to eat together tomorrow morning?."
A man who fought against orcs and demons all his life was a child whom the free people had only when he was an old man..
Although he is over 100 years old, his father, who is younger than anyone else, is extremely careful with his biological daughter, who is about the age of his great-granddaughter..
"I'm busy with military duties.."
"Is it so?······."
Grand Duke Carina Dragonia thwarted her father's attempt with a harsh tone..
A cold and hard father-daughter relationship. Their relationship is always like this..
"Yes, work must be busy. Stop and rest.."
"Take care of your body, Your Majesty.."
Inside the tent, where even that one person had left. The one person left quietly turned over the paper..
[Do as you wish, Prince Dragonia! I don't even want to look at it! Disappear from before my eyes.!]
In the end, I guessed that the relationship between father and daughter would fall apart..
·········
······
···
"······."
"your majesty? Are you okay??"
A soft voice echoes from the seat next to me, as if worried. What came into view was a girl with red hair and golden eyes..
"What were you trying to do??"
"Well... I was going to wipe you because you were sweating coldly.."
"Hmm, your girl is acting as a maid and she seems to be quite clever.."
Leon saw another person coming towards him as he waited on Hari..
-Your Majesty, low-temperature secretory fluid is released. Appears to be a symptom of apnea due to tension.
"Your Majesty was nervous.?"
Hari is surprised by Yapi's diagnosis. Leon drank the water placed in front of him. It was just the right amount of warm water..
"Hey, are you okay??"
"It's no big deal. She was just dreaming of old times."
Hari gave a worried look. This is the only time she has ever seen Leon like this..
In Lionheart's Last War, I saw his sad eyes for the first time..
"Shall we at least bring the queen? So I can have good dreams."
"It wasn't really a nightmare. Rather... I wish I dreamed of it more often.."
Leon patted his head and looked out the window at Hari's consideration and admiration. A sky filled with pure white clouds.
they were flying in the sky.
"How long does it take to reach the United States?."
"Ah, yes! Now that I've passed LA, I think I'll arrive in Washington DC in about four hours.."
"It takes a long time."
"This was also shortened thanks to the US military's charter flight.."
-Need to build a private plane? It takes just one hour from Incheon to Washington..
Yappy's futuristic cyberpunk charter plane already had blueprints in infinite storage. In this era, I thought it would be okay to consider maglev sea trains or intercontinental orbital transportation..
-Application completed.
"I'm trying to make something weird again······."
Although he witnessed scientific developments that would leave a mark in the history of modern civilization, Hari held his tongue and hoped to create more humane objects..
* * * *
Even if you look around the world, the list of people worthy of being personally greeted by the President of the United States is limited..
You have to be the head of government of a major ally or the Queen of England to wait for the U.S. president, lead the ceremonial guard, and wear a white tie..
If the person waiting for Anthony Hobson, the 49th President of the United States, to personally fix his tie, was not the head of administration but the leader of a private guild, he would have been criticized by the opposition party and the entire public..
The title of President of the United States, the world's most powerful and wealthiest country, must carry a weight that even he himself should not take lightly..
At least no citizen wants to see their country's president bowing down to the head of a private institution..
But surprisingly, not much was said about this one person..
[Lionheart King is coming from Korea!]
[Only four non-standard grades! The strongest guild in history with the world's largest S-class power! Expected to land on the American continent!]
[Experts focus on whether the Knights of the Burning Sword are coming!]
[Leon Dragonia Lionheart, the agent of the religious pantheon that is growing at the fastest rate ever. Indeed, how will American Christians receive it?.]
Survivors of other worlds have always been an issue in hunter news, but recently the enthusiasm has cooled even further..
Now, their numbers have increased to the point where they can be said to be common, but compared to Earth's hunters, they are not particularly special either..
But Lionheart's Lionheart King Leon Dragonia Lionheart.
Beatrice Alighieri Spero, the magician queen of the Kingdom of Spero.
Millennium City's Killing Machine Yacht Spinner.
Likewise, Lionheart's War and Flame Knight Vulcan.
Superpowers who shake up the world of hunters by taking over the forefront of overseas topics as soon as they appear..
Their visit was so important that not only the U.S. President but also major ministers of the U.S. administration came to visit..
Of course, apart from this, the advice of the goddess whom America has worshiped for a long time also played a role..
[King Leon is quite old-fashioned by your standards. It's not that he's irrational. He is convinced that he has the power and authority he deserves..]
Since the gate opened, the United States has been actively contacting survivors from other worlds..
We continued to study their culture and behavioral patterns that were different from those on Earth, and also conducted a very close investigation on Leon..
What do you eat, what kind of thoughts do you have, what hobbies do you usually have?.
"Your Excellency, we will be arriving soon.."
"Phew~ I’m nervous.."
President Hobson did not let go of his tension as he adjusted his tie..
The opponent is an absolute monarch in the medieval worldview. The authority of the real gods is there. In order to hold talks with such a person, all major secretaries and officials were trained in royal court etiquette..
"Who will come? Those two will definitely come?"
The two mentioned here were Leon and Beatrice..
The administrations of each country are effectively selecting Beatrice as the first lady of Leon. Leon, who was always authoritarian, clearly differentiated between commoners and nobles, and Beatrice was the only royal who spoke on an equal footing with Leon..
Moreover, if there was an event, the two were always together, so it was inevitable that Beatrice would be considered the first lady..
"The problem is Lord Vulcan and Lord Yacht Spinner. The new weapon and inaction shown in Taiwan...is not lacking compared to the magician queen.."
The Battle of Taiwan was an event that shocked the world..
As many as three great devils, presumed to be just below Skajacaria, the great devil of the Shanghai disaster who is said to have virtually ended China, have appeared..
Vulcan crushed two of them, and Yacht Spinner also succeeded in defeating one archdemon..
This alone was a tremendous act of inaction, but Beatrice, who showed new inaction there, is said to have become stronger than before..
The crystal of a great military weapon that wields the mist of death that kills anyone who touches it. She says that she alone is better than several magic tower main archmages..
"The executives are important, but the knights below them are also important. I hope at least twenty people, if not all of the Burning Sword Knights, will come.."
"The first order of knights founded for the first time also boasts powerful military power. In particular, Han Ha-rina and Cheon So-yeon are now evaluated as being at the top of the S-class hunters.."
President Hobson also read the material..
The association's new recruits and academy cadets, who were A- and B-level hunters until the beginning of this year, have become S-level hunters in less than half a year..
The knights under his command were at the level of a decent S-class attack force. He is so strong that it's hard to believe that not long ago he was focused on students..
'The jackpot is three or more executives and a part of the Knights of the Burning Sword. Are there two executives in Joongbak Cheon So-yeon’s Knights?.'
I think it might be a little difficult to hope for a big hit. Because Korea also does not want its largest military force to be completely lost..
'Goddess Meriel said she had done something, but I can't ask for anything more even if it's a heavy hit..'
A large transport plane stopped on the runway and stood in front of a red carpet..
Soon the door opened and the first people to appear were a red-haired girl and two black-haired Asian girls. And there are two Templar boys in the data..
"Okay, the fact that those four came means that an entire knighthood came.."
Four people come down with awkward smiles in front of a national-sized welcoming crowd. Following them, former academy cadets and members of the Knights Templar disembark one by one..
They are all members of the 1st Knights of the Pantheon in the database, and all of them are holy magic users starting from level A hunters..
Their fighting power was captured in an impressive video when they subdued the territory of Akasha, the Great Duke of Slaughter..
What came down after that was a spider machine that jumped down the stairs and landed on the top of Hari's head..
"This is Sir Yacht Spinner. His arrival means that new weapons can also be mobilized at this gate.."
"Good, good. I'm going to take a look at that super robot.."
The next thing to come down was a red knight wearing pre-medieval full plate armor. Some of them had their helmets off, so Hunter Management Bureau officials recognized them right away..
"This is Lord Raihar Dever! 3rd sword of the Burning Sword Knights!"
"There are also Lord Galatan and Lord Tarhan. It is a top-tier powerhouse that even has a video of it attacking the gate alone.!"
Hunter Management Bureau agents are delighted as the names of the Burning Sword Knights appear one after another..
Does their arrival mean that some of the Burning Sword Knights will also participate in this attack??
'I wonder if everyone came──'
There was a moment of hopeful observation, but everyone's eyes widened at the next person who appeared..
-Lord Vulcan!
-It's Vulcan the Butcher.!
-The Vulcan came to America!
The leader of the Burning Sword and Holy Grail Knights and a powerful man who could suppress even the great devils. Vulcan, the Holy Grail Knight of War and Flame, has revealed his gigantic appearance..
"Well, they all came.."
President Anthony Hobson couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from twitching..
1Expectations were at their highest when the Knights of Ki came, but the fact that they even came to Vulcan made me feel like I had received a Christmas present in advance..
The stress has already reached its peak due to the appearance of the Black Gate in Washington DC, mankind's worst disaster, but everything seems to be blown away by the arrival of the trusty Pantheon Knights..
As a result, the turbulent Nasdaq index will quickly regain stability. When a black gate appears, the reason why there is information control is because stock prices and surrounding land prices crash..
Because mankind has always been afraid of the terrible horrors of the Black Gate..
"Lionheart's Lionheart King! Leon Dragonia Lionheart visited us.!"
Soon after, Lionheart King Leon and Sorcerer Queen Beatrice came down the stairs together for the last time..
Probably the most famous person in the world.
A handsome man with brilliant golden hair and blue eyes... and even at the transcendent age of 300, he is as tall as a young man in his prime. He is receiving overwhelming support in the Internet world..
And a veiled woman follows him. Her exact features are not revealed because she always covers her face, but her face, which is sometimes only partially exposed, is eyewitness testimony that she is a beauty with a lot of 'super' attached to it..
They are truly a handsome man and a fairy, and they even have world-class military power, so it is safe to say that their popularity is world class..
"Welcome to the United States of America. We, the United States, welcome the visit of your Majesty and your knights.."
President Hobson extended his hand as a token of affection. Leon smiled and squeezed the president's hand..
"Are you the representative of this great nation? Nice to meet you, President Anthony Hobson. I am Leon Dragonia Lionheart, the 15th Lionheart King of the Lionheart Kingdom.."
Although Leon did not regard the head of government elected by the people as a royal on the same level as himself, he treated him in his own way..
At least it means that they are not regarded as commoners..
He held President Hobson's hand tightly and did not let go..
"······your majesty?"
"I have one thing to check."
"what is that······."
──Are you evil??
gooseflesh.
President Hobson and the administration's ministers' complexions turned pale..
