I am not a returner Episode 285:
Dog and Wolf (10)
“Why is Wangseong…?”
Ha-eun looked at Wang-seong, where smoke was rising, with frowning eyes.
“for a moment.”
Ojin fired a wire shooter toward the roof of the mansion and climbed up.
As I climbed onto the roof, I was able to see exactly where the explosion occurred.
‘The hunting dog of Jiknyeo Castle.’
By activating the stigmata of the constellation Canis, I raised my senses to the limit.
Along with a crushing headache, the place where smoke was rising in the distance looked magnified as if using a telescope.
“That is…”
What can be seen from the smoke rising castle is a fierce battle between a beastman with a silver mane and a beastman with a black mane.
When I saw Leoru, the chief of the Silver Mane Tribe, taking the lead and charging fiercely toward the capital, I could immediately understand what was going on.
‘Rebellion.’
A week ago.
An image of Leoru trying to say something to himself about going to see Horus flashed through his mind.
‘Is this what you were trying to say then?’
Leolu was planning a rebellion.
Considering the current state of the Khan Kingdom, it would not have been an impulsive choice.
‘Confrontation between the pro-Main faction and the anti-Main faction due to the massive departure of the Majin people.’
The Majins who had ruled the Khan Kingdom for the past hundred years disappeared from the kingdom for some reason.
The remaining demons are at most five.
In such a situation, public sentiment, which was already scary, reached its peak due to the sudden news of war preparations.
The ‘anti-Mains faction’ decided that now was the perfect opportunity to completely drive the Majins out of the kingdom.
And at the center of the ‘anti-Main faction’.
‘There was Leolu.’
Now it feels like things are coming together a bit.
That day, when Leoru saw himself saying that he would kill Horus if he had anything to do with the Heavenly Demon, it must have been about this rebellion that Leoru was trying to say something.
‘But I wouldn’t have been able to tell.’
The anti-Majin faction, which was relatively underpowered, would have desperately needed the strength of Ojin and his party who had the same goal as themselves.
While preparing for the grand plan of rebellion, it would not have been possible to attract foreigners whom one met for the first time.
“…I have to go to the royal castle.”
Oh Jin came down to the roof of the mansion and looked at the smoke rising from the castle.
The fact that the demons who were supposed to be in the mansion right now were not visible meant that their plan had already reached the demons’ ears.
It was not difficult to imagine how this rebellion would end if it had been discovered in advance, in a situation where it was impossible to know whether an unexpected surprise attack would succeed or not.
“These idiots…!”
Riak also seemed to have sensed the situation and fiercely exposed his teeth and glared at Wangseong.
When you are about to kick your feet and run towards the royal castle at any moment.
Wooooow!
I felt a small vibration in my arms.
Oh Jin took out a communication bead that was vibrating and emitting light from his pocket.
[Oh Ojin oppa!]
Liru’s voice is out of breath.
[Please help me too, brother! There are demons and the Black Mane tribe in the village…!]
“…Damn it.”
Oh Jin’s expression became rough.
As soon as the rebellion began, the Demon Tribe and the Black Mane Tribe attacked the village as if they had been waiting.
What this meant was clear.
‘They’re going to use the villagers as hostages.’
If the demons already knew that a rebellion would occur.
Is there any reason to engage in a bloody battle with the warriors of the Silver Mane tribe to suppress the rebellion?
“Are you home now?”
[Yes yes! I’m hiding in the warehouse with Leo!]
“I’ll be there soon, so don’t come out of there.”
[Ah, I understand!]
After cutting off contact, Oh-jin turned his head towards Isabella and Ha-eun.
The two’s expressions hardened when they heard Liru’s urgent voice.
“You two, please go towards the village.”
“what?”
“…Are you planning to go to the royal castle alone?”
“no.”
Ojin looked back at Riak and continued.
“I’m going with Riak.”
And of course.
Vega, who was hiding in his pocket, will also go to the castle with him.
“…It’s too dangerous.”
Isabella shook her head and continued.
“I will go to the village alone. “There won’t be many people attacking an empty village anyway.”
The only people in the village where the warriors left were children like Liru Leo and old beastmen.
No matter how fierce the Silver Mane tribe was, there was no way their large army would head out to subdue the helpless elderly and children.
Surely it wouldn’t be difficult for Isabella alone to wipe them out.
but.
“It would be difficult to rescue the captured beastmen and deal with them at the same time alone.”
“That’s…”
“It’s not the end just killing the people who attacked the village, right?”
Isabella chewed her lips and lowered her head.
As Ojin said, wiping out the group that attacked the village was a very simple task for her.
However, protecting the captured beastmen and wiping them out at the same time is a completely different matter.
No matter how strong Isabella was, it was difficult to protect her and deal with them at the same time.
Of course, it would be difficult to rescue all of the captured Silver Mane tribe members even if Ha-eun went with her, but at least she would be able to save more Silver Mane tribe members than if Isabella went alone.
“I don’t have time to procrastinate.”
Oh Jin urged Ha Eun and Isabella.
“Haha, I really can’t live.”
“…all right.”
The two looked at Ojin with worried eyes and turned around with a sigh.
“I will come to help Mr. Oh Jin right after it’s over. Until then… please don’t overdo it.”
“Yes, just trust me.”
Oh Jin grinned and raised his thumb.
Ha-eun and Isabella, who were looking at the misdiagnosis with eyes full of disbelief, soon kicked their feet toward the village of the Silver Wolf Mane tribe.
The back of two women walking away quickly.
“Let’s go towards the royal castle.”
“…Are you okay, kid?”
Probably all of the core forces of the demon tribe as well as the pro-Majin faction are gathered in the castle.
Even though the number of demons remaining in the kingdom is not large, each and every one of them is a powerful being who has inherited the power of the Heavenly Demon.
It would be okay to attack them one by one while they were separated, but attacking them from the front was too risky.
“It won’t be okay.”
Oh Jin looked at the smoke rising from the castle and smiled.
As Riak said, it was reckless to head to the royal castle in the current situation without Isabella and Ha-eun.
Even if Riak and Vega went together, they were bound by the restrictions of the law and could not use their true strength.
“…Then why?”
“I told you before.”
The day I learned about Riak’s past.
We’ve already had a similar conversation.
“Problems that can be solved by patience are nothing.”
“…This is not a problem that can be solved by enduring it.”
“Then I’ll have to do my best even more.”
Puzzle!
Blue lightning appeared on Ojin’s legs.
“What do you want to do?”
Ojin looks back at Riak.
It was time to hear the answer I couldn’t hear back then.
“….”
Riak looks at the royal castle with deeply sunken eyes.
[Riak.]
Vega flew to Riak and gently stroked his head.
[It reminds me of the first time I met you.]
Even though I was so completely ruined that it wouldn’t be strange if I died right away.
A silver wolf sobbing that no one could protect it.
[I have watched you regretting your past for a long time.]
The goddess’s voice permeates you warmly.
[Go the path your heart takes. This time… I don’t want you to regret it.]
“…Vega-sama.”
Wow.
Riak ground his teeth fiercely.
His stopped steps took a step forward.
“Let’s go, kid.”
“okay.”
Squeeze!
Two streams of blue thunderbolts were fired towards the king.

“Heo, heo, heo!”
Leoru gasped, his breath filling his chin.
The bloody silver fur was matted unpleasantly.
In front of him, out of breath, there were hundreds of warriors from the Black Mane tribe and two demons lying covered in blood.
As if to prove that they were the tribe to which ‘Khan’ once belonged, the silver maned tribes that attacked the castle showed incredible majesty.
“Chief Joe!”
“As it is…!”
The voices of the tribes, full of urgency, were heard.
No matter how great the Silver Mane warriors were, they could not overcome their overwhelming numerical inferiority.
Leoru, who had fought more courageously than anyone else at the forefront, collapsed.
“Now… stop.”
A black-haired man standing in front of Leoru, who was out of breath.
He was looking down at the fallen Leoru with bitter eyes.
“Horus…!”
Leoru glared at Horus with eyes burning with hatred.
Horus slowly turned his head to avoid Leoru’s burning eyes.
“Why are you doing that~?”
There, Kalyke, a man with unpleasantly heavy makeup on his face, was smearing powder on his face and bursting into laughter.
Horus clenched his fists and glared at him.
“…Did you do this?”
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about~?”
Kalyke shrugs with a sly expression.
Horus glared at Kalyke with cold eyes.
“The gate was open.”
In order to enter the royal castle, it was necessary to cross two gates.
The outer castle outside the capital and the inner castle surrounding the royal castle.
Even though the outer castle is poorly guarded, the inner castle is strictly guarded by warriors of the Black Mane tribe 24 hours a day.
There was no way such a large army could enter the castle without being detected if there were no collaborators inside.
In other words, someone pushed the Silver Wolf Mane tribe’s back.
To cause a ‘rebellion’.
“Ho ho ho! Iknow, right. “I guess we’ll need to punish the guards later for this, right?”
Kaliqué twists her red lips with a bright laugh.
Thick tendons appeared above Horus’s clenched fist.
“Kalike…!”
Horus is shaking his fist with red bloodshot eyes.
Looking at Horus like that, Kalyke snorted.
“Anyway, you have to catch those guys quickly, right? “Then, when we go to the world beyond the curtain, won’t we be able to save warriors who will bravely fight at the forefront?”
“Do you think they will give in?”
Horus laughed and shook his head.
Leoru, who was wounded and collapsed, still had a strong fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.
“We will not become dogs like you, Horus!”
Leoru stood up shakily, wiping his bloody mouth.
“Hohohohoho!”
Kalyke shook her shoulders and burst out laughing, as if she found this situation unbearably enjoyable.
“well. Would you really be able to do that even if your children’s lives were at stake?”
“what…?”
Leoru opens her eyes wide.
“What are you doing to your village…?”
“Ho Ho. “It’s so hot~?”
“Ah ah ugh.”
Leoru steps back with a pale, exhausted expression.
Kalyke slowly approached Leoru and stuck out her long tongue.
“Stop talking nonsense and kneel down, you bastards.”
An eerie voice rang out.
“How dare the bastards not recognize their owners and show their teeth…”
While Kalyke was continuing to speak.
Taang!
A gunshot came out of nowhere, and six wires shot out from all directions and wrapped around Kalyke’s body.
Kalyke frowned as she looked down at the wire wrapped around her body.
“What is this…?”
“What are you doing, bastard?”
It’s a joke!
“Gyaggyaggyaggyaggya!”
A torrent of blue lightning flowed through the wire and struck Kalyke’s body.
