Future Knight [EN]: Chapter 91

퓨쳐나이트 91

The ten knights now clearly understood the reason for their gathering. They looked at Kang Chan with faces mixed with anticipation and anxiety, reminding themselves of the missions they had to accomplish.

“From today, you will all enter into intensive training with me. Everyone, be prepared! That’s all!”

Thus, four days passed since Kang Chan created the special forces unit Black Wyvern and began high-intensity training.

As promised, the dwarves and elves appeared at the allied forces’ camp through the gate.

The number of dwarf soldiers endlessly crossing through the constructed gate approached 100,000.

As a race that produces the best weapons and armor, they were all heavily armed with formidable weaponry.

“Oh, are those the Dwarf Barbarians that the dwarves boast about, and the world’s strongest heavy infantry?”

Dwarf heavy infantry, fully armed with solid armor, and barbarians carrying massive battleaxes proudly entered the allied forces’ camp through the gate, displaying their formidable power.

Following them, though fewer in number compared to the dwarves, 20,000 elves led by Arteon and Elladion crossed the gate, showing off their beautiful figures.

The soldiers who watched the elves wore expressions of awe.

“Wow, it’s my first time seeing elves in person!”

“How can they all be so pretty, like dolls?”

“Hehehe, that’s why they fetch such a high price in the slave market, right?”

As he spoke, his head flew off with a sound that tore through the sky.

Thwack!

“Hiiiik!”

Even though they were 100 meters apart, the elf who heard him blew his head off.

The ignorant soldier, unaware that the elves’ hearing is more sensitive than any other race, met his end in such a way.

Duke Sachsen greeted the Elven Queen Arteon and the Dwarf King Kraxion with great ceremony, and those gathered immediately held an emergency meeting.

The four united races began to make thorough preparations for an all-out war.

* * *

While the four races gathered to prepare for the final war, Kang Chan was engrossed in commando training.

Kang Chan’s hellish commando training, scheduled for two weeks, was designed to instill discipline and foster the confidence to fight and win under any adverse conditions, and was conducted with extremely high intensity.

And Kang Chan willingly decided to become a devil to complete the training.

“PT [Physical Training] number 8, full body twists 200 times, how many?”

“200 times!”

“What’s with that voice! 400 times, how many?”

“400 times!!!!!”

“398 times, begin!”

“One! Twoool! Threeeeet!”

“What’s with that voice!”

“Yessss!!!”

The ten knights abandoned their identities from society the moment they entered the training ground and became ten Wyverns.

On the third day, they repeated PT exercises that were close to torture.

Their entire bodies were pouring out not sweat, but bodily fluids as they repeated the PT exercises.

“Huff! Huff! Hey, what does this have to do with rear infiltration? Huff!”

“I don’t know! Don’t talk to me…….”

“You two, with your mouths open! Step forward!”

“Huff! Wyvern number 4!”

“Ah, damn it! Why did you talk to me… Wyvern number 5!”

“Who told you to open your mouth during PT! Go to the top of that cliff and back! First come, first served!”

“Yes!”

At the word ‘first come, first served,’ the two desperately began to climb the cliff.

The next station was courage training in preparation for high-altitude drops.

“Prepare for descent!”

“Commando!”

“Wyvern number 6! Is that all the voice you have?”

“No, sir!!!”

“Assistant Instructor Bon, I’ll hear your voice again. Prepare for descent!”

“Commaaandoooo!!!”

“Descend!”

“Descend!!!”

As Wyvern number 6 threw himself off the steep cliff, he was repeatedly lifted up and down by the lifeline before coming to a stop.

Soon, Wyvern number 6, now stopped, spread his arms and shouted the final slogan.

“Commando!”

“Pass!”

“Waaaaaaa!”

Wyvern number 6, who had passed, climbed back up the cliff with enthusiastic support from his comrades.

“Wyvern number 6, 10 minutes of rest!”

“Wyvern number 6! Has been granted 10 minutes of rest by the assistant instructor!”

Wyvern number 6, soaked in sweat, collapsed on the spot and indulged in a honey-sweet rest.

“Next Wyvern, step forward!”

“Wyvern number 7!”

“Prepare for descent!”

“Commmmmaaandoooo!!!”

“Descend!”

“Descend!!!”

Wyvern number 7 also fearlessly threw himself off the steep cliff.

The ten Wyverns, who had returned from the hellish commando training, were sprawled out in the barracks, gasping for breath.

“Huff! Huff! Where did that devil learn such brutal training?”

“He must have learned it in hell…….”

“Huff! Huff! If we do this hard, will we become Sword Masters? Huff! Huff!”

“Then I don’t want to be a Sword Master…….”

“Kikikik…….”

“Kkkkk…….”

“How did we endure it all this time?”

“…….”

Looking back on the past week, they were all shuddering.

They wouldn’t want to go back to before entering the camp, even if they were given a billion dollars.

Absolutely not.

In the beginning, they were thrilled to hear about the intensive training with a Sword Master.

They vaguely expected to learn amazing swordsmanship from the Sword Master.

How great would that have been?

The place they arrived for the intensive training was the entrance to hell, and the training that awaited them was hell itself.

And at the center of it was a devil wearing a red hat.

A devil with no blood or tears.

“Whether this assistant instructor becomes a devil or an angel depends on you. Do you understand?”

“Yes, sir!”

“What’s with that voice! Is that all you have?”

“No, sir!”

After that, the commando training unfolded.

For them, who had only trained in swordsmanship, it was all unfamiliar training they had never experienced before.

Rolling, running, jumping, hanging… every day.

They had to break through all kinds of traps and feel the threat of death.

In addition, the PT exercises, which were designed to create perfect physical fitness and strong mental strength, made even them, who were physically quite trained, grind their teeth.

“Huff! Huff! Damn, what is this movement? It’s easy at first, but after a few times, it feels like I’m going to die… Why?”

“Yeah! Why is it so hard?”

“I want to kill the bastard who made this…….”

“Who’s talking! Did you come here to play? You still have the strength to talk? PT number 8, 500 repetitions! How many?”

“500 repetitions!”

“492 repetitions, begin!”

In fact, even Kang Chan had never experienced PT exercises.

It was a lost legacy from the days of the Space Force.

However, his biochip contained a complete record of the Republic of Korea Army’s commando training methods, so there was no problem in creating this hell on earth.

Moreover, for some reason, even the arrogant computer was very actively helping, so the hell training could proceed more smoothly.

Thus, the two-week-long training ended.

The ten members who completed the training were quite different from before entering the camp.

Their movements were full of discipline, and their eyes were full of determination.

“Everyone, you have all worked very hard. You have all overcome pain and difficulties that are harder than anything else in this world, so you must be armed with a stronger mental strength than anyone else. This assistant instructor has no doubt that everyone is now confident that they can win against anyone. I am really proud of you. Wyvern number 1, step forward…….”

Those who completed the training were given a certificate of completion and a Wyvern-shaped gold badge.

“C, cough! ……Ckhheuk!!”

Those who received it could not hold back something welling up in their hearts and shed tears of emotion.

The meaning of that gold badge was so great to them, and it was more valuable than any medal they had ever received.

It was a reward for overcoming the living hell.

Thus, the ten proud Wyverns, who had overcome the hellish commando training for two weeks, were exhausted in body and mind, but their eyes were full of confidence that they could overcome anything.

28. Other Beings

A place where the vast shape of the Arkandor Continent could be seen at a glance.

There was a huge object moving along the satellite orbit of Neo Earth.

On the upper part of this massive metal덩어리 [덩어리 means lump or mass in Korean], which appeared to be about twice the size of the Red Mars, was the phrase ‘Zvezda’ and a red star clearly drawn.

Zvezda meant ‘star’ in Russian, and the red star symbolized the revolutions of the former Soviet Union and communist countries.

A high-precision, high-magnification lens was watching the war taking place on the Arkandor Continent 24 hours a day.

“Zoom in.”

-Zooming in on the video.

A man who had been quietly watching the 모습 [모습 means appearance or figure in Korean] of countless soldiers clashing exclaimed.

“Hey, look at those guys. They’re swarming like ants, aren’t they?”

A blonde Russian beauty retorted in a cliché tone.

“It’s a really primitive battle.”

“If you just drop a nuclear bomb there, it’ll just end, right?”

“Lebedev, we are no longer destroyers.”

The blonde man named Lebedev’s expression twisted.

“But I’ve never done anything other than destroy since I was born?”

“That’s not just you. Keep in mind that everyone here is the same.”

“I don’t always like the way you talk, Chinese…….”

As a strange atmosphere flowed between the two, their leader raised his hand to stop them.

“Stop.”

“…….”

“Lebedev, Hong Hak-mae is right. We are no longer destroyers. We are rulers. So refrain from that attitude.”

“You, you’re lucky.”

The leader’s eyebrows twitched at Lebedev’s words.

“Now, we are the only Earthlings left in the entire universe. That means we are brothers with the same blood flowing from the same star. So you must never fight each other. Do you understand? If you disobey my orders…….”

Lebedev waved his hand as he saw the cold murderous intent in the eyes of the leader looking at him.

“Ahahaha! It’s all a joke, a joke.”

The man named Lebedev seemed unable to do anything against the leader.

“Listen carefully, we have the power to destroy this planet completely, but we are hopelessly short of numbers to rule that vast continent. So what do we need now?”

“Sympathizers, sir.”

“Yes, Lee Cheol-soo. We need sympathizers in that world.”

The ten Zvezda members looked up at the huge main screen.

“Now, everyone, don’t miss a single thing and watch carefully! We have to convey our ideology to one side of them!”

“Yes! Comrade!”

“I hope everyone makes a wise decision. For the revolution!”

“For the revolution!”

Those gathered here were the ten revolutionary warriors of Zvezda, the best special forces unit of the Empire.

Their mission was the same as the Red Mars.

To make Neo Earth, which has the same conditions as Earth and was discovered in the OGLE-2006-BLG-109L system, the property of the Empire.

However, the Empire was preempted by the Space Federation Army, which developed a hyper-space navigation system five years earlier than them, and they were given the mission to find and destroy the Red Mars, which had departed first.
