Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad-Chapter 102
The first thing Choi Hyun-seok did was look for Bobo.
“Bobo!”
Taking a nap leisurely, Bobo slightly opened one eye.
Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.
His eyes were full of boredom.
It seemed like he was scolding, asking why he was being called during such a good time.
“Kwaang…”
“This is not the time to be so relaxed! Let’s go quickly!”
Even at this moment, Reidrun would be running at full speed toward the operation area.
Every minute and second was precious.
Reidrun is a crazy bull that could run 500km.
Even though Choi Hyun-seok had become stronger, it was a speed he couldn’t catch up to.
If Abelson joined too, they definitely wouldn’t make it in time.
That’s why they needed Bobo.
In terms of combat power, Bobo was not inferior to Reidrun, so they could catch up sufficiently.
“Kwang…”
The problem was that Bobo seemed completely uninterested.
He was still growing and it was a time when he needed lots of sleep.
Bobo closed his eyes again.
“Don’t be like that and help me!”
“Kwaang…”
“Our Bobo. Want to go for a walk?”
At the word ‘walk’, Bobo opened his eyes again.
Interest began to fill his eyes as if his appetite was being stimulated.
“I’ll feed you lots of delicious things too! Don’t you want snacks?”
“Kwang!”
Bobo jumped up.
Indeed, the combination of walks and snacks is the truth.
“Miss Abelson! Get on right away!”
“Yes!”
Abelson wasn’t particularly needed for this operation, but they decided to go together for her safety.
They couldn’t leave Abelson alone in the castle without Reidrun and Choi Hyun-seok.
‘This isn’t the Black Giant Star. Anything could happen at any time.’
It would be safer to move together than to leave her alone in Gardrak Castle.
Abelson agreed with his thinking.
“Alright! Let’s go!”
“Kyak! Hero! This feels like going on a picnic, I’m so excited!”
“Shut up!”
Just as they were about to leave the barracks with Bobo.
A group of soldiers came running.
A demon who appeared to be the commander blocked their way.
“Stop! Stop! I am Vice Commander Keunraduk!”
At the words ‘vice commander’, Choi Hyun-seok stopped for a moment.
“What’s the matter?”
“That’s what I want to ask. Where are you going right now?”
“I was feeling restless just sitting around. Thought I’d patrol outside the castle.”
“Not allowed.”
Vice Commander Keunraduk shook his head.
“You have orders from the Division Commander to stay here at Gardrak Castle.”
“What?”
“Don’t move and stay here!”
“What’s the reason?”
Choi Hyun-seok asked.
Keunraduk rolled his eyes around as if contemplating, then opened his mouth.
“For safety.”
“Safety? You mean my safety?”
“Yes! Division Commander’s orders are for Choi Hyun-seok and the Saint to stay in Gardrak Castle for safety!”
Choi Hyun-seok smirked.
‘The guy who was desperate to eat me is suddenly talking about safety?’
He still vividly remembered Grat’s eyes when they first met, looking at him and Abelson.
Though reluctant, he had shown signs of having to accept it.
And now safety?
He couldn’t help but be suspicious.
‘Don’t tell me these bastards. Are they trying to hand over me and Miss Abelson?’
He kept wondering.
Why did they specifically exclude Choi Hyun-seok and Abelson from the dangerous operation?
Wouldn’t it be easiest to trap them together with Reidrun?
‘They were planning to do something after telling us to stay in the castle safely.’
If they had told them to move together from the start, he would have been suspicious instead.
But being told not to move and stay behind increased his confusion.
Thinking about it now, it seemed like some kind of strategy.
“Anyway! Don’t move and stay put! If you resist, for disobeying orders… I’ll punish you!”
Vice Commander Keunraduk shouted urgently.
Choi Hyun-seok nodded and raised his fist.
“Vice Commander.”
His middle finger slowly rises.
“Go screw yourself.”
“Huh?”
“Bobo! Let’s go!”
“Kwaang!”
Bobo roared and charged forward.
Keunraduk shouted in panic.
“Stop them! Stop them I say!”
“We can’t! Kyaak!”
Currently, Bobo’s combat power exceeds 150,000.
This level was top-tier even among regiment commanders.
Almost on par with division commanders.
In fact, Vice Commander Keunraduk’s combat power was just over 130,000.
In other words, there was no one with higher combat power than Bobo in Gardrak Castle without Grat present.
“Yoris got eaten!”
“It’s a monster!”
Bobo ran while crushing the soldiers blocking the way.
Filling his stomach along the way was a bonus.
Rachel jumped around excitedly.
“Good! That’s it mutt!”
“Kwaang!”
“Let’s go! Let’s save our Reidrun!”
Bobo escaped Gardrak Castle like an arrow.
Vice Commander Keunraduk could only watch blankly.
“…”
Keunraduk, who had been standing dazed, suddenly started running somewhere.
Currently, Grat has left Gardrak Castle to carry out the operation.
Since only Grat and Keunraduk knew about the deal with the humans, he had to report directly.
“I must inform the Division Commander! Communication crystal! Where’s the communication crystal!?”
***
On the way to the battlefield.
Grat was in a very good mood.
‘Everything is going smoothly.’
Once this matter was resolved, Grat would completely grasp control of the 8th Division.
It would become Grat’s own, not the 8th Division under the 3rd Corps led by Hemis.
‘Kekek! I wonder what expression Hemis will make when Reidrun dies. She treasured him like her own child.’
His mouth corners lifted involuntarily at the thought of Hemis’s lips twisting in distress.
It would be a good lesson for her who treated him like a half-wit.
Woong…!
Suddenly the communication crystal lit up brightly.
Grat frowned and picked up the communication crystal.
‘The Vice Commander?’
It was a communication from Vice Commander Keunraduk who remained at Gardrak Castle.
-Division Commander Grat. This is terrible!
“What happened.”
-Choi Hyun-seok and the Saint have escaped!
“What!?”
Grat’s eyes bulged.
Choi Hyun-seok and the Saint escaping.
‘They have no reason to escape. Could the information have leaked? No. This plan is only known to me and the Vice Commander. It absolutely cannot have leaked.’
He had ordered Choi Hyun-seok and the Holy Maiden to stay stay at Gardrak Castle.
It should have been an order that wasn’t bad for them.
After all, they could just stay in the safe castle without going to the battlefield.
“What exactly did you do!? You should have prevented those bastards from escaping the castle at all costs!”
-That… Because of the Corps Commander’s pet… There was nothing I could do…!
The Corps Commander’s pet.
It must have been the one named Bobo.
Grat sighed.
‘Things are getting complicated.’
He didn’t know what their purpose was.
What was certain was that they had noticed something.
“Did you confirm where they’re heading?”
-They are heading toward Reidrun’s operation area, I hear.
“Is that so…”
-What should we do?
After thinking briefly, Grat spoke.
“Contact the Holy Empire immediately. Tell them Choi Hyun-seok and the Corps Commander’s pet are heading there, so handle them together.”
-Understood!
“We need confirmation from the Empire. They must not survive now that they’ve left the castle. They need to be eliminated completely. That’s how we survive. Do you understand?”
-Yes!
“Go ahead.”
The communication ended.
Grat angrily threw the communication crystal.
Crash!
The crystal shattered, fragments flying everywhere.
“Damn it! Taking a dump on perfectly cooked meat!”
At this point, he had no choice but to trust the human side.
‘They said two heroes are moving this time? It’ll be close.’
The Holy Empire dispatched two heroes to kill Reidrun.
That would be enough for Reidrun, but with Bobo joining, it becomes precarious.
‘First I’ll handle things here. If Reidrun survives… Then I’ll have to step in myself.’
Grat prayed desperately.
For the human army to exterminate the Demon King’s Army.
***
The brilliant and devout Worsten Gesred.
A large man with stern features, he was the commander in charge of this operation.
“Lord Byron, are preparations complete?”
Worsten spoke.
Byron Hane beside him smirked.
He too was a hero of the Holy Empire, serving as bait for this operation.
Officially, Reidrun would ambush this unit to eliminate Byron Hane, the Empire’s young hero.
“Are preparations complete? Lord Worsten. We have two Empire heroes. It’s a fight we couldn’t lose even if we wanted to.”
“We mustn’t be careless. Our opponent is the Red Nightmare Reidrun. It won’t be easy.”
Byron Hane shook his head.
“Lord Worsten, you worry too much. We have two heroes and special weapons prepared to capture the Red Nightmare. Plus, he’s alone.”
Byron Hane’s mouth corners slightly lifted.
“Honestly, it’s overkill. I could have handled the Red Nightmare sufficiently alone. Tsk.”
Looking at Byron Hane clicking his tongue,
Worsten turned his head.
‘So this is a young hero…’
Byron Hane had just received the title of hero.
He was only 25 years old.
Having reached the highest position at such a young age, it was understandable he’d have such confidence.
‘The Red Nightmare’s combat power is rated mid-to-low among Division Commanders. Lord Byron isn’t wrong. But capture is much harder than killing. There’s nothing wrong with thorough preparation.’
Originally they planned to kill Reidrun.
But the operation changed midway.
From kill to capture.
‘It is unprecedented.’
Demons capture humans.
Soldiers become slaves, nobles are used for negotiations.
But humans don’t capture demons.
They only eliminate them.
Because they have no value as prisoners.
Using demons as slaves leads to uncontrollable incidents.
Capturing high-ranking commanders for negotiations is rejected by the Demon King’s Army.
“We don’t need idiots who get captured by humans.”
The Demon King’s Army never asked for captured demons back.
“Thanks for disposing of our trash.”
Given this situation, it was common sense for humans not to take demon prisoners.
But this operation was different.
The Holy Empire Gatren’s leaders decided to capture Reidrun.
“Reidrun is Gourmand Hemis’s only loyal subordinate.”
“If we play our cards right, we could lure and trap the Gourmand.”
“It might be troublesome, but we can deal with him after seeing the Gourmand’s reaction.”
A subordinate cherished by Gourmand Hemis.
Reidrun was the only being in the Demon King’s Army who received Hemis’s favor.
That’s why Gatren wanted to test it.
What reaction would Hemis show if they captured Reidrun.
If there was any reaction at all, it would be a great opportunity.
They could trap and eliminate Hemis if they played it right.
It didn’t matter if she didn’t particularly care.
They could just kill Reidrun then.
“We don’t know when he’ll strike. Stay alert at all times.”
“Yes!”
The soldiers responded energetically to Worsten’s words.
‘It won’t take long.’
Worsten and a thousand soldiers continued marching.
They had to appear like a normal unit that knew nothing from the outside.
They couldn’t show signs of preparing for an ambush.
How long had they walked like that?
Kuung… Kuung…! Kuung!
Noise began in the distance.
As the noise grew closer, the ground shook.
Worsten shouted urgently.
“What’s happening!”
“Enemy! Reidrun is charging!”
At the same time, Worsten began to see the enemy’s identity.
Kuung! Kuung! Kuung!
A muscular figure with red skin was crossing the plains.
Each time he struck the ground, thunderous noise and dust rose.
‘An ambush… Is it?’
Who would have thought he’d charge straight through like this?
In a way, it was a charge most befitting the word ambush.
Reidrun had approached right in front of them in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, Reidrun’s thighs swelled and he struck the ground with all his might.
Tuung!
He soared through the sky with pure leg strength.
Watching Reidrun descending from the sky, Worsten shouted.
“Stop…!”
The Red Nightmare came down.
