Transcendent Warrior With A Dimensional Shifting Inventory 48
48
The interior of the barracks vibrated with the scent of blood.
The generals who had followed Tarman and sided with Asdel were shocked by the unexpected turn of events.
‘How could this be!’
The Melbek generals gathered here were superior in martial arts compared to ordinary soldiers, except for those who held special positions such as administration or logistics.
Despite their numerical advantage, they had been easily defeated by Asdel’s soldiers.
They had already received information that Asdel’s soldiers were armed with the metal of the stars.
However, they could not have imagined that their combat power would be so overwhelming.
One of the generals pointed to the special forces and asked Tarman.
“Who the hell are they? Are they a special unit created to protect Asdel’s commander?”
He was speculating that they might be an escort unit composed of Asdel’s most accomplished warriors.
“They are special forces selected from among ordinary soldiers.”
“What? But how can they be so strong?”
“They have grown through actual combat experience, fighting countless battles with beasts outside the realm of protection.”
Asdel’s soldiers had grown tremendously while subjugating monster habitats and hunting Teidons with Minhyuk.
However, there was another major contributor to their explosive growth in combat power.
“And the armor they are wearing is no ordinary item.”
The soldiers’ armor was an exact replica of Minhyuk’s, except for the automatic detaching and attaching function.
The metal plates of the stars attached to the leather easily blocked weapons made of steel or dwarven cast iron.
And crucially, they were imbued with a magical effect that increased agility.
They wielded unstoppable weapons and wore impenetrable armor. And now, their speed had also increased dramatically. Who could possibly stand against them?
“Even the generals of Melbek do not have magical armor! But how do all the special forces have such rare armor?”
Tarman told them that not only the special forces, but all of Asdel’s soldiers were wearing magical armor.
He also told them that they were generously supplied with precious healing potions, and that not a single one of them had been crippled by injury.
“Oh my god···.”
The generals sighed in relief.
t turned out that siding with Tarman, even with the death of Kuan Wu, had actually saved their lives.
“It was all thanks to the Asdel commander’s abilities. He is now the commander of all of us.”
At Tarman’s words, the generals turned their gazes to Minhyuk’s back.
They had thought he would be an outstanding talent, but he was not just that; he was a completely transcendent being.
Thud-
All the generals knelt towards Minhyuk.
“Please accept us!”
Tarman approached Ronan’s body, unsheathed the commander’s sword from his waist, scabbard and all.
Then, kneeling before Minhyuk, he respectfully offered him the commander’s sword with both hands.
“The commander’s sword is originally bestowed upon a general by the monarch, but please take it upon yourself!”
It meant that since there was no one here of a higher rank than Minhyuk, he should bestow the authority upon the commander’s sword himself.
Tarman had already heard various things about Asdel’s internal affairs from General Drake.
So he knew that Minhyuk would ascend to the throne as emperor once he returned to Asdel.
Minhyuk raised the commander’s sword and shouted.
“Soldiers of Melbeck! Follow me!”
Then, a message popped up before his eyes.
Minhyuk immediately gave his first order to his newly acquired subordinate soldiers.
“All troops, move to Tamirn Fortress!”
.
.
.
By the time dawn broke, the entire army had arrived at Tamirn Fortress.
In the past, about 150,000 soldiers and civilians had resided in Tamirn Fortress.
So there was no major problem in stationing 200,000 troops there.
As soon as he arrived at the fortress, the first thing Minhyuk did was to reorganize the Melbeck troops.
Most of the Melbeck generals were dead.
It would not be good to leave the soldiers without a leader for too long.
He had to quickly reorganize the troops around new generals and restore their military discipline.
It would be great if he could teleport it with Kaon, but the height of the gate was lower than the diameter of the orb, making it impossible to move.
“Let’s take a short break.”
As Minhyuk suggested a break, the staff officers headed outside the commander’s barracks.
Some drank water, while others rolled and smoked tobacco leaves.
The tobacco leaves of Tomari were drugs to goblins, but to humans, they were just good-quality tobacco.
Naturally, only Minhyuk and the princess remained inside the barracks.
“I want to have a cup of coffee.”
“Yes?”
The princess looked curious after hearing Minhyuk’s soliloquy.
“What do you want to drink?”
Minhyuk asked the princess just in case.
“Do you happen to have coffee here... no, tea made from roasting and grinding the seeds of certain fruits in fire, and then steeping them in hot water?”
Since the word ‘coffee’ didn’t exist in this world, he explained the process of making coffee.
He asked without much expectation, but the princess nodded.
“You mean Donicha(tea)? It’s bitter, but fragrant and slightly sour.”
A beverage with bitterness, fragrance, and a bit of sourness.
Perhaps this Donicha thing was similar to coffee.
“Quite a few noble ladies enjoy it. I’m not really into it, so I’ve only had it once.”
“Then let’s have a cup together when we get to the citadel.”
Thump-thump-
The princess’s heart raced at Minhyuk’s suggestion to have a cup of Donicha together.
Actually, Minhyuk was only interested in Donicha.
He had accumulated over ten days of return time, so he couldn’t return without having a cup of coffee.
However, there was a more important reason for Minhyuk to return.
He now had a pair of rings that allowed him to communicate with someone far away.
If they became something easy to mass-produce, he could use them to great effect when transporting the magic orb to the citadel.
If he distributed the rings to scouts and deployed them very widely, he would have a real-time surveillance network.
Then, he would be able to know in advance from which direction the dragon was flying and respond accordingly.
In the current situation, it was the best way to protect Teidon’s heart from the dragon.
‘Please let it become something easy to obtain.’
Minhyuk put the Durango’s Twin Rings in the refrigerator and covered them.
“Return.”
Pop-
With a flash of light, he moved into the back of the truck.
He opened the refrigerator and checked inside.
From Noble mtl dot com
hahahaha!
A smile spread across Minhyuk’s lips.
The refrigerator was filled with ice cream.
It was a frozen confection of two Chapssal-tteok shaped ice creams side by side.
Did it turn into this because it was a twin ring?
Anyway, it had turned into something easy to obtain.
Minhyuk came out of the cargo area.
Sunlight was pouring down on his head.
It was currently noon on Sunday.
This was the outdoor parking lot of a warehouse-type discount store.
He would go buy ice cream right now.
‘And have a cup of coffee too.’
Inside this building, there were not only discount stores but also various convenience facilities such as specialty restaurants and franchise coffee shops.
Minhyuk stopped by the coffee shop first.
He ordered an Iced Americano and drank it refreshingly.
Usually, he drank expensive ones made with specialty beans rather than ordinary beans.
‘Because I’m precious.’
And he headed to the grocery store to buy ice cream.
