116. A human that makes even the devil cry (5)

Just when you thought the fierce final battle was over, when a dragon appeared out of nowhere in the sky of the battlefield, tension began to flow again.

“What are you doing? Hurry up and reload!”

“Protect Your Majesty—!!!”

“All giant guns!”

The soldiers, who were barely taking a break after the arduous battle with the devil, hurriedly grabbed their guns and rose from their seats even without the emperor’s order.

When the dragon, which existed only in legends, appeared directly, the soldiers’ faces hardened with fear, but the action of filling the guns with gunpowder and lead bullets was quick and accurate without hesitation.

“May God bless our weapons… … .”

The soldiers’ guns and mortars aimed at the sky were imbued with the priests’ powerful divine power buffs, and the officers who commanded them gulped their saliva with tension as they waited for the emperor’s order.

Soldiers and officers who were perfectly trained to give goosebumps, they were already willing to give their lives for the emperor of the continent.

“A dragon… … ?”

Was that race really real and not a legend?

The emperor tilted his head and looked at the dragon looking down at him, boasting a lofty figure high in the sky.

“Are you looking at me?”

The moment the gaze of the dragon, who is said to be the strongest creature on earth, and the young emperor who conquered the continent intersected in the air, the emperor realized something from that gaze.

“… … Why are you looking at me with those eyes?”

The emperor could not fully understand the emotions felt in the dragon’s gaze.

‘Pity, sympathy, and… … Nice to meet you?’

Strangely enough, the dragon hadn’t said anything yet, but was clearly showing a strange feeling of being happy for the emperor.

Just in case, the emperor slowly retraced his past memories, but he or she had never encountered a dragon in all the years he or she had lived through.

‘But these eyes are strangely familiar… … .’

He was very confused.

The eyes and emotions the dragon showed were somehow familiar, and those gazes were making the emperor of the continent fall into deep anguish.

“Don’t fire hastily!”

“Wait for orders!”

“Your Majesty, please give me an order… … !”

While the emperor was deep in thought, the dragon began to descend very slowly to the ground, and the urgent cries of the officers commanding the army began to erupt from everywhere.

It was unknown whether it was an enemy or not, as the dragon hadn’t taken any aggressive action yet, but the excitement of those who had been battling demons between life and death just a few hours ago was still in a state of excitement.

Crunches!

The tension trembled the fingers of the infantrymen in the line on the trigger, as well as the hands of the artillerymen trying to put their firework on the mortar.

Now, if someone gives a little more force here, as a signal, a shower of lead bullets full of divine power will surge towards that gigantic creature.

“your majesty! If you don’t give orders, I’ll do it myself—!!!”

The commander-level officer, who had the qualifications to command all troops under his own authority in the absence of the emperor, felt that this situation was unusual.

Their ruler showed no signs of giving any orders as he was thinking about something uncharacteristically.

“Your Majesty, I will report after the first action. Based on Imperial statutes, anyone who dares to enter His Majesty’s territory without permission will be considered an unconditional target of attack, regardless of race or position. All troops, prepare for volley fire!”

At that very moment, the dragon’s voice began to be heard in the emperor’s head.

[Are you Jiyeon?]

Hearing this voice, the emperor’s mouth fell open for a moment.

“… … no way?”

Clearly, this was a voice I had heard before.

[Is the delay right?]

To my surprise, the voice in my head was whispering to me in the language of my hometown that I had spoken in my previous life.

At that nostalgic voice, the Continental Conqueror’s eyes blushed slightly and he felt his throat choke.

“Put down the gun.”

“… … your majesty?”

“That dragon is my precious friend. It’s okay, everyone lower your guns.”

The dragon, which landed safely on the ground, soon transformed into a woman, and the emperor, who saw this, blushed slightly like a girl and covered his mouth.

“your majesty… … !”

The emperor’s loyal soldiers, who were looking at this, were also shocked by the emperor’s human side, which they had never seen before.

According to what they had experienced, that emperor was an iron-blooded conqueror who boasted more masculine charisma than anyone else, and was a being who never seemed shy.

“His Majesty’s close friend. Everyone bow down and pay your respects.”

The quick-witted commander quickly turned his gaze to the soldiers, and he himself moved his gaze to the distant mountains to be considerate of his master.

Thanks to this, the emperor, who suffered from intense work and the gaze of his subordinates every day, got free time to not be conscious of anyone else’s gaze for the first time in a long time.

“It’s been a while since the delay?”

“ah… … .”

The Emperor looked at the Lord of Guardians in front of him with an expression of disbelief.

“Are you really Miyoung’s older sister?”

“… … .”

Is it because I met someone I knew in my previous life with a different gender?

His choice of words was a bit strange to others, and the Lord of Guardians, who heard the man say sister right in front of his nose, took a slight step backwards without realizing it.

“That, you know? Why don’t you call me older sister instead of older sister?”

“ah… … .”

The emperor smiled as he looked down at his strong, muscular body that had been forged through training.

“That’s right. I am a man now.”

“Hu, what the hell are you doing… … .”

Of course, the Lord of Guardians already knew the reason why the emperor in front of him had changed gender.

Even beyond the gender change, in the yard around people who were born not as humans but as livestock, this was actually not surprising.

“by the way… … .”

“Do you have a lot to talk about?”

The emperor nodded vigorously.

Between the emperor who was reborn as a man and conquered the continent, and the woman who suddenly appeared as a legendary dragon, there were, of course, many, many stories to tell.

He looked around for a moment, then sighed when he saw his soldiers still staring at the floor.

“This is not a very good place to talk. Let’s go to my house at once.”

“Ah, then.”

“Then the wagon… … .”

“No, you can ride on my back.”

“ah… … .”

The Lord of Guardians, who transformed into a dragon again, flew into the sky with the emperor of the continent burning on his back and exhaling tremendous force.

His soldiers, who watched this, all opened their mouths and became busy taking in the majestic sight with their eyes.

“yo. this… … A brave knight!”

“Your Majesty has truly become a legendary dragon knight!”

“To the great emperor, bow down—guns!!!”

Among the legends that have been passed down from ancient times in this world, there was a quite meaningful story that a knight riding a dragon was a hero who would save the world and a messenger sent by God.

As the scene that had been passed down through legends actually unfolded in front of their eyes, the soldiers felt something overwhelmingly moving.

“delay. Where can I go from here?”

“ah… … You can go all the way north.”

“OK.”

Of course, the real emperor is not a legendary knight who makes a dragon his companion, but a very faithful navigation with the destination entered as ‘home’.

【Hey, Miyoung? I know it’s nice to meet a younger brother I haven’t known in a while, but you know we have to do our job first, right? Please open the portal as soon as you arrive at that friend’s house.]

Moreover, the one who was not a fellow knight, but the one who used the dragon as his personal guard, borrowed the eyes of the corps unit and quietly watched this scene from high in the sky.

* * *

To say that it was the residence of an emperor who unified the continent and ruled alone, his house had a much more simple atmosphere than expected.

Even if you wash your eyes and look for splendor, you can’t find it. Rather, the appearance of the room with disassembled weapon fragments spread out in a mess was an absolute mess.

After roughly cleaning up the gunpowder and oil-stained items, the emperor started preparing tea by boiling water himself without calling an attendant.

“Sorry, is the house a bit messy?”

“Oh, it’s okay. It’ll get messier in a little while. Rather, should we have two more cups of tea? And do you have any tea with mint in it?”

“yes? Miyoung sister?”

“it’s not that. Now I have to say that Miyoung is my older sister. Anyway, get me some tea with mint.”

“… … Oh, right, right. now my sister But what do you mean by that?”

The emperor wondered if the person he knew, Mi-Young Kim, liked tea to this extent, so he tried to ask again if he really needed to prepare two more cups.

At that moment, a small portal opened in the Emperor’s room.

From the portal that suddenly opened like this, a person walked out with his hands behind his back, leisurely chewing on chocolate.

“hey. How long have you been?”

“… … Ugh!”

Clink-!!!

The moment he checked his face, the emperor, whose face turned blue, dropped the teacup in his hand to the floor.

‘No, how did that man get here?’

In fact, the members of the corps are so different that they don’t care at all, but the manager, the representative of God, was like a ‘god’ to ordinary players.

In addition, since this manager, a nobleman, was famous for being rough, there were quite a few cases where those who met him in their dreams suffered quite severe trauma due to abusive language and violence.

‘scared… … .’

The emperor, who was sitting on the floor with his face and everything thrown away, had the same trauma about the manager.

However, the emperor soon learned that there was a more terrifying person who stumped the terrifying manager.

“No, old man. What kind of crap did you do in the past?”

“… … Didn’t I do anything?”

“You didn’t do anything, but as soon as you saw it, you start a game like that? Be honest. Did you hit me in a dream? Or did you curse?”

“… … .”

“Ah, as expected, you did both like an elder.”

The man who walked out after the manager was a man in a red suit with golden eyes, and he was looking at the scary manager as if he were looking at food waste.

The emperor unconsciously looked up and felt a chilling fear come over him as if his heart were pounding and falling the moment he met the man’s golden eyes.

‘What is this again?’

A strong aura emanating from the man, making even the continent’s emperor numb, as if he were the owner of this world.

The terrifying energy emitted by these two people made the emperor’s face turn white.

“… … uh?”

But after a while, thanks to them reducing their presence, it was time for the fear to some extent.

The emperor could barely recall the fact that this man had never met him, but he did have a glimpse of it in the long past.

“you are… … ?”

A scary man approached the emperor and held out his hand.

“Hey, nice to meet you. My name is Han Ji-woo.”

“ah… … !”

The moment he heard his name, the emperor could barely recall the fact that he belonged to the ‘strongest party in mankind’ in the war he had gone through in his previous life.

In addition to this, the emperor was quickly able to realize that people he should never have been involved in had entered his chambers.

“No, what did I do to scare you?”

The man with the name of a cartoon character he had seen in his childhood strode forward, took the emperor’s hand, lifted him up, and smiled broadly at him.

It must have been said that this is a friendly smile that looks like a person, but the smile seen in the emperor’s gaze came with a completely different feeling than intended.

‘Oh my gosh… … .’

No matter how you look at it, this one was far more evil than the demons he had just faced on the front line, he never looked good.

“No, I’m not a bad guy.”

“… … Hick! Hiccup-!”

The emperor forgot his face this time and began to hiccup violently.

“after… … Why are you scaring your brother?”

“Oh, I didn’t do anything.”

“Why are you smoking that terrible momentum?”

“Ah, it’s just like a passive… … .”

The Lord of Guardians, who had always said that whatever Han Ji-woo did, sighed and frowned, which was rare.

“Your brother was very surprised. He’s just a human with no powers.”

Of course, a strong presence was revealed in her, too, to put a considerable strain on the heart of the emperor, who was only an ordinary human being.

This was on a different level from the sense of intimidation felt in the form of a dragon, and the sense of intimidation given off as the head of a clan was at a level that would not be ignored anywhere.

‘… … Neither these people nor Miyoung unnie are normal.’

Unimaginable monsters are gathered in one room.

What kind of situation is this?

‘God who protects the empire… … .’

The emperor cried out in his heart.

* * *

After waiting for the Emperor to regain some composure, we were finally able to bring up the scheduled conversation.

“What is your name now?”

“… … I am Kailov of the imperial family.”

“Yes, Kailov.”

In fact, I already know this friend’s name, but to be honest, I’m not so reluctant to call him by his first name without his last name while I’m not even close with him yet.

However, to call him with his last name, this friend’s previous life name itself is a bit too… … .

Anyway, after watching their battle scenes, I realized something new.

“Please lend me a few of your priests.”

“… … Our priests?”

“That divine power buff. I want to test it to see if it works for players on Earth as well.”

“ah… … .”

In this world, the musket, which only uses black powder and lead bullets, was given a divine power buff to tear the demons apart.

What if, instead of muskets, the latest weapon on earth that has been useless so far gets that buff?

For reference, our manager didn’t have that kind of power at all, so if we could use this method, we could really see a revolutionary level of power increase.

“If the AK-74 and the Armalite rifle and even the Brahms tank were given that divine power buff, the war against the demons would be really awesome, right?”

“… … Oh my gosh.”

“Emperor Kailov. listen carefully. On the condition that I borrow the priest… … .”

Oh, of course, priests are very precious in this world, so I don’t think I’ll borrow them for free.

“Tanks, self-propelled guns, rifles and machine guns, aircraft carriers, destroyers and submarines, missiles, fighters and bombers, even intercontinental ballistic missiles if necessary.”

The emperor, who liked the military and even made muskets and mortars himself, swallowed every single word I spit out.

“I’m the owner of the earth anyway, so I’ll support you as much as you need.”

You demon bastards who climbed up from Hell, you are all behind.
