Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

Aside from the fact that ori disease itself is an incurable disease and promotes the spread of Originium, people infected with ori disease will also have more power than they would without the infection.

As the first person in this world to be infected with ore disease, he also inherited certain combat experience from his peers in another world.

Lapland's combat effectiveness, which Milin could only describe as "excellent talent," improved by leaps and bounds.

Even Milin, who was driving with force perception, took a while to find Lapland who had sneaked out of the convoy.

When Milin found him, Lapland said to the Nord mercenary in front of him:

"Don't you understand what I'm saying? You don't have to follow me anymore. I'm not a wolf now."

However, standing in front of Lapland, the Nord who was not very tall but extremely strong said with a naive expression:

"But, leader, since we followed you here, we have already made plans to never go back."

"I know. I also agreed at that time that we would eat meat and drink wine together, and one day we would fight back to the ice field and compete for the position of the Wolf King, right?"

Seeing the helpless appearance of the Nords in front of him, Lapland stamped his feet and said:

"But now I regret it. I quit, and I don't want the title of Wolf King anymore! Let's get together and have a good time!"

"Actually, we also think it's okay not to take the position of Wolf King. Anyway, it's warm here and it's much more comfortable than the Nord side." The Nord mercenary said with the same naive expression.

"Are you deaf? Don't you understand what I'm saying? I told you to stop following me! Stop dragging me down!"

Lapland tried her best to make her voice sound ruthless, but at such a young age, she seemed unable to completely control her emotions.

"Hey, hey, leader, don't cry! Why are you crying again!" The Nords became anxious when they saw the glint in the corners of Lapland's eyes, looking around for something suitable.

There happened to be someone next to me who handed over a handkerchief at the right time.

The Nord took the handkerchief without saying thank you and moved closer to wipe Lapland's tears.

As a result, this action made Lapland shout loudly as if he was frightened:

"Don't come here! Stay away from me...stay away from me. I don't want to touch you stinky guys."

"Ah? I just took a shower last week." The Nord mercenary quickly raised his arm and smelled it and then said:

"Boss, I don't know what happened to you. I only know that the more you look like this, the more we have to follow you."

"Why don't I see you guys so loyal...ah..." Lapland, who wanted to say something more outrageous, finally noticed Milin standing next to the mercenary.

Looking at Lapland who was frozen in action, Milin just raised his hand to indicate that he didn't need to worry about him.

"Anyway, I've decided this matter. Don't come to me again."

Knowing that he could say no more, Lapland pretended not to care about Milin at all, and left this section of the convoy with his head held high and an unsteady pace.

The Nord mercenary who also noticed Milin's appearance handed back the handkerchief in his hand and said:

"Oh, our leader has always been like this. It will be fine in a while. Lord Dragon King, don't worry about it."

"..." Milin, who had no choice but to be called Dragon King, nodded and said, "Well, I will handle it."

"Also, Mr. Dragon King, you must help us persuade the leader. There is no alpha wolf of the pack, and he is not a lone wolf."

The mercenary who received the answer from Mirin continued.

"Well, you are right. How can there be no alpha wolf of the pack?" Hearing the words of this mercenary who looked naive but was actually not naive, Milin couldn't help but think of the Germans in another world. Texas.

"And..." The mercenary seemed to have some demands to make.

"You should go about your own business. Just leave Lapland's affairs to me." Milin, who quickly pushed the opponent away, felt that this mercenary was really stupid.

"Oh, I should go and do my own thing." The mercenary who was defined by Milin as a true and honest mercenary was easily dismissed by Milin with just one sentence.

After the mercenary walked away, Milin raised his head and shouted to the roof of the car:

"Come down..."

Lapland's behavior of sneaking back onto the roof of the car after taking a few steps did not go unnoticed by Milin.

After waiting for a while, he found that Lapland, who was hiding on the roof of the car, didn't seem to want to get down, so Milin simply jumped on.

Lapland, who was lying on the roof of the car with a straw in his mouth, looked at the shade of the trees above his head blankly and laughed at himself:

"You're laughing at the Swordsman Tower."

"I thought those mercenaries listened to Holo." Milin said something that sounded completely unrelated after mentally checking out several dialogue options.

"So I thought it would go smoothly." Lapland continued to look blank.

"Then tell me about your wolf pack. I'm very curious about the culture of your Nords." Milin lay directly next to Lapland and looked at the leaves above his head with Lapland.

Fortunately, this kind of caravan is large enough for not only loading cargo but also for traveling.

"Didn't Lord Wolf God tell you?" Lapland asked, noticing that Milin was lying next to him, slightly giving way to his position.

"I said a little bit, but not much. And now I want to hear something different from an alpha wolf like you." Milin said.

"I'm not a real alpha wolf yet..." Lapland, who has always been known as a naughty child, spoke in such an unconfident tone for the first time.

The wolf king does not look at bloodline. Each generation of wolf king is selected from the alpha wolf in each wolf pack.

The current Wolf King, Lapland's mother, killed the previous Wolf King and became the new Wolf King during the last battle for the throne.

The Nords who followed Lapland were actually her mother's wolf pack.

It has always been the tradition of the wolf king to leave the best wolves of his pack to his offspring, even if that offspring may one day lead the wolf pack to bite him to death.

Theoretically speaking, Lapland, who is not yet an adult, is not qualified to become the alpha wolf. She must defeat everyone in the wolf pack on the day she comes of age in order to be qualified to become the real wolf king.

This is also the reason why Lapland doesn't care much about why his wolves don't listen to him very much.

"But you still care about them after all, and you have always regarded yourself as their alpha wolf." Milin said in a calm voice.

"..." Lapland was silent for a while before speaking: "But I can no longer become the Wolf King."

"But does this affect their recognition of you as a wolf?" Milin said with a smile, enjoying the shade of the trees with his eyes closed.

"I promised them, I promised them." Lapland sat up from the roof of the car and looked towards the north.

"But does this affect you seeing them as your own wolf pack?" Milin said with a slight change in tone: "Or are you worried that they will suffer from ore disease like you?"

"...Yes." Lapland, who was sitting, saw Milin closing his eyes and simply closed his eyes himself.

"Then why don't you tell them directly?" Milin asked.

"I..." Lapland, who just closed his eyes and opened them again a few seconds later, was slightly startled, and then said: "They don't understand, they don't know how scary this thing is."

"I believe that even if they know how scary this thing is, they will accept your changes with peace of mind, and may even take the initiative to be infected with ore disease with you."

Milin smiled and said:

"Like you trust them."

"Of course, I trust them, so I don't want them to do this," LaPland said.

"Then..." Milin sat up, directly raised his arm to hold Lapland and said, "Are you willing to trust me as you trust them?"

"..." Lapland, who was hugged by Milin, struggled for a few times. When he found that he couldn't break free, he simply stopped moving and said, "I don't know..."

"Haha, don't force it, because one day, you will be able to see a wider world by my side." Milin let go of his hand and stood up, pointing to the sky and said:

"I will take you, take another you, take everyone, towards the real future."

"You will become the true King of Fenrir among the stars."

Lapland, who was a little dazed by Milin's words, was stunned for a while before saying:

"Swordsman Tower, it's time for you to eat the Source Stone."

"Uh..." Unexpectedly, Lapland's first complaint after recovering was this. Milin was stunned for a moment and said, "Do I seem to have lost my mind?"

"Hahahaha", Lapland, who didn't expect Milin to really answer this complaint seriously, laughed until he held his stomach.

"...Is this funny?" Milin said helplessly.

Speaking of which, what does the Origin Stone taste like? Thinking about this, Milin moved his eyes to Lapland's belly.
