pov shepherd
looking at Doris who look like a poor puppy, I couldn't help but shouted him out of anger.
"so three of my best soldiers are dead while the two was captured! are you fucking kidding me?! how the hell did the two unknown people defeated the high ranking officers who almost at the rank of elite?! and you want me to believed that those two destroyed not only the experiment robots but also the steel knight unit?!"
looking at him in rage he couldn't help but look down, at first he ask me for the permission to deployed my troops to help him to defeat the strong enemy.
at first it was the elven army which makes me to agreed his request but I didn't imagine just the two of them killed the three soldiers and destroyed the AI sentry robots.
"aahhh..... enough of this, I'll sending the special squad to rescue my team but don't you dare to stop them understand?!"
as he nodded him head. I smash the esc button in my computer causing it to destroyed.
when my assistant came, I look at him with a grim and said in a calm tone.
"called Kim jeong, am sure his worried to his wife."
"yes sir."
"oh and also called the special team. I need a briefing for the rescue."
"yes sir."
as he left my office, I couldn't help but sigh his displeasure.
"to think that those two destroyed the whole army alone without the steel knights. I better investigate it if they are friend or foe but I think I higher-ups already decided before I could even ask."
as I sit of the comply chair and look at the window, I was wondering how will this on coming war will ever stop.
....
pov Kim jeong.
"you're too slow?!"
bang.
operation my steel knights, I quickly hit my opponent to his side with my spear. this cause him to lose balance and when he falls down. I quickly pointed it to him neck.
"you lost byung-ho."
"yeah, yeah I know so stop point that spear on my neck and let get to another round."
as I removed the spear in his neck, I slow the young man wearing a military uniform in the side of the arena.
this makes me anxious because I already knew what they wanted to ask.
when byung-ho saw the secretary, he too knew what that means.
"hey Kim jeong, let's stop for now."
as he left the ring. I when to his direction and bend the knee of my steel knight.
when the hatch was opened and meet him in person, the secretary Patrick spoke.
"general shepherd wants to talk to you."
"okay, but can I ask why?!"
although I already knew the answer, I still ask for confirmation.
Patrick didn't gave any emotion but he look at me professionally and said.
"It's about your wife."
as I nodded my head, I followed the secretary to the general's office and meet the other group outside.
"oh? fancy meeting you here Kim jeong?"
Steven was one of the special unit in the military force and also the commander of red tails.
if he was here and the general called me. then it was no ordinary meeting we will heard.
as Patrick knock the door.
the general spoke.
"come in."
when the two of us entered, I saw the general serious face. this makes me wonder if something happened to my wife but I still suppress my feel and spoke.
"kim jeong from the special unit called mountain tiger reporting for duty!"
"Steven canister from the special unit called the red tails reporting for duty sir?!"
as we both of us gave the general a respectful salute.
the general saluted back and spoke.
"sit down gentlemen we have a serious discussion."
as we both sit in each direction. the general spoke seriously.
"am not gonna make a fuzz so I get straight to the point. captain Tina and Sargent lee sung was both captured by the two people. we didn't know who or what they motives are but you two have to be careful since both of you knows your opponent."
as the two of us nodded our head, Patrick ask.
"general for all due respect I want to ask is it true that the elf was near the base of colonel Doris right?"
"yes."
"then how did colonel Doris to the long dark ears? the colonel's base was like fortress. not only that his weapons was not ordinary too."
as I heard Patrick's sarcastic tone. I couldn't help but agreed to him.
colonel Doris's base was not ordinary in fact. I more like a behemoth fortress capable of resisting the world class boss monster.
as we look at the general. he couldn't help but sigh.
"you're wrong commander. it's true that Doris has strong fortress but the enemies didn't attacked him. instead he ordered the attack and both us knew why he do so right?"
as both of us nodded. we knew how colonel tragic past still hunt him.
"for now let's do the briefing and also Kim jeong. I expect you more than this mission since we are going to rescue your wife and her subordinate."
"yes general."
.....
pov juan
upon walking in the cathedral. a man wearing the church robe has come to me and gave a respectful bow.
"bishop Juan, his holiness was looking for you."
"oh? why did the holiness was looking for me?"
"I don't know bishop but I think the holiness was getting anxious for some reason, I think it's better to ask him directly."
as I nodded my head, I went to the hall of the cathedral where I saw the pope bending his knees to pray.
I keep waiting for his pray since praying to the gods was more important than other things.
as he finished praying, he saw me and gave a smile.
"my child you are here."
this old man was pope pepe. he is the oldest person in the cathedral and also the last remaining of the order of the holy knight.
it's been years since the order of holy knight was disbanded because of lack of followers.
thinking about this, I couldn't help but to be sad.
the holy knights was the respectful soldiers in the humanity but after the steel knights was invented. the followers was starting to drifted and some of them stop praying to the gods.
looking at the old man, I couldn't help but smile and kneed before him.
"your holiness, what do you want to talk to me?"
as I ask with respectful tone.
the pope smiled and said.
"the gods has spoke to me."
when I hear his words. I couldn't help but to be shock.
it's been over decade since the gods ever spoke the other pope. the reason was the pope who been assigned was becoming a corrupted.
this cause many of the churches involved in scandal to the point many of the followers left the church.
"w-w-what did the gods t-told to you."
as my voice became like a broken doll. the pope spoke seriously.
"the knight and his friend has finally back."
as I want to ask what he means. the pope continued.
"the gods told me to bring him back the the cathedral. they want to spoke their champion and also wants to gave him a mission to fix the problem that the humanity was facing."
"but holiness, could you tell me who he is?"
the pope gave a bright smile and spoke his name.
"the knight who came back after 10,000 years. sir Rudy Winston. the captain of the holy knights and also the man called the demon's nightmare."
