Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga

Chapter 428



Chapter 428

The fact that Ragnis sent an inquiry to the royal family about the possession of the dragon and returned with a super-fast response within two days was a proposal to participate in the new dragon unit as a kind of advisor.

At first, I wondered if the King and Old Man Lesrom had gotten along well, but when I read the draft of the plan they proposed, I got goosebumps.

Oh my God, airborne troops? Did you think that also came from the story of me jumping off a flying dragon and fighting?

The designer was supposed to be Lesrom, but it was an idea that made me seriously doubt that the nobleman was actually a modern person reincarnated a long time ago.

I wasn’t sure, but this time it’s the one I’m asking for, so I was thinking of accepting the reasonable offer, but I’m not a new recruit at all, and I don’t know when the preparation started, and I’m enclosing flying dragons who have roughly finished basic training and fairly good knights, so I can ascend the dragon as an attribute. He offered to help me learn, so there was no reason to refuse.

Of course, there could be trouble with the knights who were uncomfortable with the fact that a stone rolled in from outside suddenly put them in an unreasonable position of torture, but they thought that it would be fine to solve it with their skill.

“It’s an honor to meet the hero who defended the capital!”

And yet, for some reason, these humans were so outspoken in their kindness.

On the first day, I wondered if I wanted to act, and the next day I even thought that it might be old Lesrom’s ploy to make me fall in love with them and help the kingdom army, but after all, their favor was real.

Afterwards, I thought about it and talked about it. Surprisingly, that was a normal reaction.

Since the condition itself for flying dragon knights is loyalty towards the royal family and kingdom, at the point of being a ‘knight who can skillfully ride a flying dragon’, they already met the prerequisites.

It even went through filtering by the names of the royal family and members of the aristocracy, so it was understandable to have fantasies and favors for me, which was close to choosing only the seemingly beneficial things for the kingdom.

Even though it was an interpretation that was far from my intention, thanks to them, the process of getting to know them was easy.

“Sir Ega, we have finished destroying all supplies.”
“How many people surrendered?”
“It was thirty-four, and there were three tents for the wounded, so I divided them up and put them in.”
“It’s neat. Let’s go back.”

And as time goes by, in order to achieve the purpose of their creation, they fly into the rear of the Demon King’s army for nearly four days and hit the back of the head, continuing to this day.

A total of 5 squads of 20 men, if they were proper dragon knights, would have made the enemies urinate just by listening to them. Even so, the biggest reason for me to take turns in the operation in the strange position of advisor was very simple.

Because there is no one in the kingdom who is better at jumping off a dragon than I am. No kidding, really, that was why I became a torturer.

After a long time, memories and knowledge from my previous life played a part here.

Even knights who have been trained in Aura don’t dare to jump from a height of more than 2 floors, so they have no sense of how dangerous or safe it is to fall from a height.

It’s me, even with a body that was strengthened thanks to the knowledge of my previous life when skyscrapers were overflowing, I would die if I reached this height, and it would be okay up to this point. It is not easy to guess because there is no.

As a result, when I first saw them try it as a class, I had to struggle to hold back my laughter. The scene of noblemen with strong bodies thanks to the aura coming down to the second floor and slowly jumping down was more fun than I thought.

I didn’t find it funny that my knees were a little sore from demonstrating several times to make them understand that up to 11 meters, where people feel the most fear if they manage their aura well, is safe bread.

“Sir, Ega. This may be a new question, but…”

Realizing that a lot had happened in less than a week, I was preparing to get on the flying dragon, and a knight cautiously approached me. Although he wore a helmet, he was easily recognizable thanks to the red half-cloak he was wearing.

“What’s up, Shantry Squad Leader?”
“I can understand the wounded… Even for the demons who surrendered, wouldn’t it be better to cut off one arm than to leave them alive unscathed? They will eventually be merged into another army and wield their swords at us again.”

There was a reason why he, the squad leader, was so cautious in expressing his opinion to me, who was nothing more than an adviser.

‘Wounded soldiers and those who surrendered will not be touched.’ was one of the conditions for my joining. From a modern point of view, it may be a very natural story thanks to the Geneva Conventions, but it was very different here.

In a world where even ordinary humans can recover in an instant with the power of magic and potions, being a wounded soldier of a demon is not a being that eats up the enemy’s power more than you think.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it can be repaired and exported as if it were made in a factory, but there are many means and methods to restore it quickly enough.

You might think that since it’s not free, the cost can’t be ignored, but it’s much cheaper to restore it than to pick up a new soldier per hundred.

Even if only one centurion-level was mixed among the injured soldiers I saved, it would be a huge loss to the Humans.

As a result, in the long war, both sides took prisoners or made merciless decisions except in very special cases.

Even those who gave me a respectful gaze that seemed infinite, when they heard that I had joined under such conditions, they slightly mixed their gaze as if they were looking at the boy who was obsessed with the ideal without grasping the reality, so I said everything.

Just understanding the decision to save the injured soldier now is close to making a lot of concessions. The Demon King’s army I let go today could kill the Kingdom’s army tomorrow, so I wouldn’t be very happy with it.

I fully understand their feelings, but this was a non-negotiable area.

I don’t like the idea of attacking people who have lost their will to fight, but it had something to do with my convictions.

“It’s called the law of reaping what you sow. If we kill them, they will kill them too. But then it’s not us who die, but other kingdoms who are weak and unrelated. If we cut off our limbs, wouldn’t the limbs of our allies fly away next time?”

As I ridicule all those who touch me, what I worry most about is not collapsing upon meeting a wall I cannot overcome, and the arrows of anger are directed not at me, but at the people around me.

There’s no way I, as a modern man, didn’t know the boring repertoire of revenge chains, right? That’s why if you touch me, even if you give me a chance, if you touch me, I move with the mindset that I will dry the seed altogether. If I had an idea, I would have calculated that it would be cheaper to touch me.

But the military is different. Even if I decide to fully accept my karma without avoiding it, there are plenty of people who will be shot with arrows instead of me in the name of soldiers.

In such a situation, if I commit an act of retaliation outside the framework of combat, the Demon King’s army, which failed to target me, will inevitably retaliate against others who are less powerless than me in the same way or in a more severe way.

And I have no way of solving those problems that are done on a military basis.

So, we have no choice but to choose to exclude such cases as much as possible. However, it is impossible not to kill the enemy on the battlefield, so only wounded soldiers and those who surrendered who have no fighting spirit are spared.

I think that war can be said to be like that only in terms of what happens on the battlefield.

At least that’s my criteria. Some will say it’s just self-satisfaction, but as always, it’s none of my business.

It is better to be self-satisfied than not to be self-satisfied.

“If we send them safely, there is no guarantee that they will do the same, right?”
“That’s true. But we can’t act like beasts just because our enemies might. I just want to stand tall in front of the gods.”

They may have anger toward the Demon King’s army and the demons, but since I have a limited target, there must be a difference of opinion. I didn’t expect him to understand all of this in the first place, so I decided to close the conversation.

“I don’t want you to understand. It’s only natural that we have different opinions. However, this is definitely a contract with the royal family, so please follow it for now.”

It could be dissatisfying because it was a finish that was no different from a celebration, but if we talked like this, it would only draw a parallel line, so I said this because I thought it would be better. He nodded vigorously.

“That’s right. Excuse me!”

…How come ‘this is chivalry!’ I didn’t like it because it was a reaction with the feeling of ‘, but since I couldn’t hold it separately and ask what I was misunderstanding, I decided to just move on.

Aside from resolving these minor misunderstandings, there was a lot to do today. Two more supply lines had to be raided before nightfall, so we flew right into the sky as soon as the maintenance was over.
