The Hero is Not Coming - Chapter 101

The operation was about to start with the platoons reading to advance through the Plainfield using the trucks as cover. And walked right to the side of Ariadne, poking her‌ in the arm.

‘What, peasant?’ Ariadne looked at the white-haired young man.

‘Those guys will record our battle for future generations to see what they will fight against and just give up if we fail, or inspire them to follow your lead if we succeed.’ Edmund pointed at the four individuals to his right.

‘What are you talking about? Like doing a journal? We don’t have time for that peasant.’ Ariadne returned to her position, looking at the soldiers preparing.

'No, did you forget what I said? You don’t care about me, hum? Is using a device that can capture light and images like this one?’ Edmund showed her a tablet.

It was like she was seeing through a window; Edmund was wavering at her through the tablet, but she didn’t react at all; he thought it was strange that she didn’t even gasp at what was happening.

She faced the people Edmund pointed at before, and they didn’t look like soldiers at all. A Shafran, two A-Dam, and a female Chatzi all used uniforms like all soldiers, but what gave them away was their demeanor.

‘So they are going to use that device? It looks like one of my suitcases. Well, as long as they don't stand in the way, I don’t see the problem.’ Ariadne wavered at them with a smile on her face.

Edmund called for them to come closer and got a stick the Shafran was holding. Ariadne didn’t understand what was happening as she noticed Edmund straightening his clothes right before pointing at the A-Dam, pointing the device at them, and starting a countdown with his finger to three, down to one and zero.

'Welcome, we are here in the dungeon to the south of the duchy. My name is Edmund, and to my side here is our great goddess looking at the troops as they prepare to invade the city inside of the dungeon.’ Edmund pointed at the city on the horizon.

The A-Dam moved his body to the right, pointing at the city in the distance, his fingers tapping on the side of the device for a moment, and returned to Edmund and Ariadne.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

‘The Angel Company will push the creatures and leave the path open for our goddess to fight against the dungeon's guardian. Don’t worry, I will help too. She will use the sword of the hero from legend to slay the creature.’ Edmund made a slashing motion with the object he was speaking into.

Ariadne was confused, and some curious soldiers watched the events unfold.

‘Now a word from the duchess. You can talk to the microphone.’ Edmund put the device closer to her mouth.

‘Ah, we will win... and if needed, I will sacrifice my life for our soldiers.’ Ariadne spoke nervously.

Because everything happened so fast, she became nervous and stuttered a little. Behind her, a group of soldiers started to amass, trying to see what was happening.

‘See, she will sacrifice her life for the soldiers, what a beautiful soul, that is our goddess for you, Now you will see images of the battle; I don’t recommend children watch it.’ Edmund smiled and gave a salute, closing his eyes.

The A-Dam that was filming him gave a thumbs up and all the others by his side smiled at Edmund. Ariadne was still confused about everything but ignored brushing it off as just another of the things Edmund did constantly. He was just different; the soldiers around them returned to do what they were doing without

‘Peasant? Did you build this thing instead of better communication devices?’ Ariadne clenched her fist.

‘I couldn’t do for everyone so this was... much better, showing what we did here to everyone in the duchy, everyone in the kingdom, that... is powerful.’ Edmund gave a nervous look to her fist.

‘Maybe you are right; I will let this one slide, peasant. Don’t test my patience.’ She turned to look at the soldiers preparing.

Edmund and the camera crew got to Alon, who found the whole thing completely insane even with the images he provided with the tablet but the young man had permission from the duchess so he couldn’t do anything but want them as far as they could from the action; their soldiers would not be responsible for their lives.

‘I helped you, but you created this thing, so make it work and tell the stories that will be printed forever in history or something like that.’ Edmund smiled at them.

They nodded and separated into two teams where their objective was to record everything they could of the battle, even doing some interviews if they could; these were concepts Edmund had pitched them and it was like a light in the darkness for every single one of them. Fear was not on their minds as they approached the soldiers preparing.

‘Hello, my name is Sorth and we are going to record this battle for future generations; we have permission from the duchess and the captain.’ The young Chatzi female spoke.

‘So you are saying you are going there with us without weapons?’ Asher crossed his arms.

‘Yes, don’t worry, we will be far enough most of the time.’ She nodded at Ethan.

‘We are so dead, sir.’ Asher looked at Ethan while shaking his head slowly.

Egor came in next to Ethan, looking at Asher with a smirk on his face. The attitude of the soldier was interesting and funny; it made the morale higher as everyone saw it as a joke even if Asher himself didn’t see it that way.

‘Ok people, we are going to start moving now, as for you two.' Egor pointed at the dual. ’Don’t be in the way, but ‌we will take care of you; your mission is also important.’ He turned around

‘Angel-6 to all units; move out.’ Alon’s voice came through the communication devices of every squad.
