My Children Swarm the Cosmos – Chapter 129

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟐𝟗: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐬 𝐔𝐬 (5)

The Crolr are shooting each other and biting each other. The Crolr who were bitten by the crazy Crolr went crazy in the same way, and the Crolr who were thought to be dead woke up in a crazy state.

【What did you do to my civilization. . .! You damn traitor bastard. . .!】 

Carrd and the ruling class hastily take refuge under the escort of warriors.

Kuwaah!!

The nearby Colossus, which had been on standby, stood up and fired a high-output beam at the crazy Crolr.

【Racliaa! Send the army now! Sweep These crazy guys away with orbital bombardment!】

Racliaa, the commander-in-chief of the stationary orbit fleet, was quite flustered.

➖Then the sane Crolr could be swept away too!

【This is an epidemic! There is no other way but to burn it with fire!】

➖But. . .

【It’s your monarch’s command! You’re not saying you’re on the same side as Dracatarr, are you?!】

➖No, no! I will carry out the orbital bombardment right now!

Immediately, the Crolr fleet floating in space emerged over Carrd’s head.

Kwaah!!

Hot flames and bombs are pouring into the center of the Crolr civilization. A storm is raging, and the crazy Crolr and the sane Crolr are turned into a handful of ashes in that violence.

In the meantime, Carrd, who boarded the ship under heavy escort, looked down at his civilization.

【There is also a rampage in other areas!】

The entire civilization was swept away by madness. The Crolr are running wild everywhere, to the point where there are no sane areas to find. Black smoke is rising in every city, and the sound of explosions and gunshots are echoing, making it seem like a battlefield without enemies.

Carrd narrowed his large single eye.

【Death is the only cure.】

The Crolr of the civilization, who had been loyal until recently, are gradually going crazy. Carrd ordered all such Crolr to be killed.

Thump thump thump!

As soon as he boarded the bridge, he asked Racliaa, the commander-in-chief.

【Are there any guys approaching our territory?】

【No.】

【You’re saying there’s no surprise attack even though you’ve spread out such a wide range of internal operations?】

【We’ve been keeping an eye on the outside of the star system, but there’s no particular movement being detected.】

‘I was sure that their fleet of monsters would come in. . .’

The Chimeraz did not come. Only the members of the civilization are running wild.

‘What are you thinking. . .! The Chimeraz. . .!’

🔷🔷🔷

“Krrrkrkrk. . . .”

With the help of the insane Crolr, Dracatarr escaped the capsule and looked around.

He could not see anything since he lost his eyesight. But, he could hear loud noises coming from all directions.

【Who released me?】

It seemed like he was in the middle of a battlefield. It was filled with the sounds of explosions, gunshots, screams, roars, the sound of flesh being torn, and air being pushed due to explosions.

This must be the center of the Crolr civilization, so does that mean someone broke through the Monarch’s fleet and managed to descend all the way down to this capital structure?

【I asked who the hell released me!】

【We. . . . 】

At that moment, the Crolr who released Dracatarr made a strange noise.

【We are the Parahtoria. 】

【What. . . ?】

【We. . . . will heal you. Dracatarr. . . . commander.】

Kwaaak!

They grabbed Dracatarr’s face with their hands. Dracatarr instinctively tried to shake off their hands since he felt threatened, but he had no strength left in his body.

【Let go! What the hell are you doing!】

【Accept it. That is the way you can live. . . . 】

“Krrrrkraaaaaaa!!!”

Dracatarr’s damaged eyes started to regenerate rapidly. It gave Dracatarr immense pain, but it also allowed his lost eyesight to perceive the light of the world little by little.

“Krrr. . . . Kggrggrgr. . . . Heueu. . . . .”

Dracatarr gasped for breath.

Now, he could see.

【Commander Dracatarr. Will you lead the Crolr race, which is falling toward ruin. . . . toward a more correct path?】

The civilization was in chaos. It seemed like a civilization that was on the brink of destruction. The Crolr were killing each other everywhere, while Carrd’s army was destroying the city.

【. . . What are you guys?】

【As we said, we are the Parahtoria.】

【What is your purpose? Why are you helping me?】

【We are part of the Hive Alliance, and we are helping the Chimeraz. We are not here to help the Crolr. We have no interest in the Crolr.】

【Are you saying that the Chimeraz invaded? T-Then what did you mean by that? You want me to lead our race even though we fell to this hellhole?】

【We are merely delivering the will of the Hive Alliance as mere seeds. You must decide the rest, commander.】

【I don’t understand what you mean.】

【If necessary, you can attack the hosts infected by us, the Parahtoria.】

【What the hell is. . . . 】

【Decide for yourself. If you are qualified to be a monarch.】

After saying that, the bloody Crolr picked up the scattered firearms on the floor and jumped into the burning civilization.

‘What do you want me to do when I have nothing left. . . . ’

He lost his special forces, the Crolr citizens who followed him, and even his family.

The civilization was gradually collapsing due to the madness of the inner rampage and the violence of the Carrd army, who were trying to stop the rampage.

The worst situation that was right before his eyes was unrealistic. His worn-out body and mind did not move easily.

‘Rundalt. . . . He warned me about the ruin, the ruin. . . . ’

【Please save us!】

【Bombing! Run away!】

【Why are the sovereign’s warriors killing us too?!】

Civilization.

There were forces with their own justice and ideology. And among them, there were clear underdogs and strong ones.

For example, like that,

【Why are they doing this. . . . !】

【The ruling class abandoned us and ran away! They are dropping shells on our heads!】

【We are all going to die! We are all destined to die!】

【I am also a warrior! I am also the monarch’s warrior! Why are you attacking us too! Stop right now!】

Those who know nothing, obey the situation above and do as they are told.

The working class who always offer their lives to the top and the warrior class who risk their lives.

It seemed like all the Crolr left in this burning civilization were treated as enemies. They made no distinction between the insane Crolr and the normal Crolr.

Right now, Carrd was not considering a second-best option or a better method, but was trying to just wipe out the entire damaged civilization.

Maybe because the Crolr were not only in the capital city?

‘Carrd. . . . You still don’t think about those below you, even at this moment. . . . ’

Dracatarr tore the prison uniform that was covering his body. And he approached the corpses of the warriors lying on the floor and took their combat suits and weapons.

Then, he shouted out loud with the very loud voice unique to the Crolr.

【Warriors! All workers!】

The normal Crolr paid attention to his loud voice that was louder than explosions.

【Take up arms and rise! We must fight against the ‘internal enemies’!】

Tatatatatang. . . . !

He shot and killed the infected Crolr running around near him.

【We will not yield! We are not the sacrificial lambs of the ruling class! If necessary, we are not the consumables to be discarded!】

【We are all Crolr! Members of the great Crolr civilization, and those who directly run for the Crolr civilization!】

Dracatarr’s eyes were bloodshot.

【Stop being slaves and become true warriors!】

【If you want to survive. . . !!】

The Crolr who were abandoned by Carrd started to gather one by one. Those who were busy running away from the infected Crolr and the Monarch Carrd’s attack were now fighting with weapons in their hands.

They blew up the armory to take out the equipment and jumped into the collapsed hangar and became Colossus warriors, regardless of who they were.

Like that, they fought against the infected Crolr army and intercepted the Carrd’s aircrafts or small ships that were bombing them from above their heads.

Just like how a snowball rolls and becomes a big avalanche, those who were left in the civilization united as one.

The one who made that snowball was Dracatarr, and those who were left naturally gathered around Dracatarr.

【There are infected Crolr in the shipyard too! Drive them out and take the latest ships!】

【Take back the anti-aircraft defense base! Fight against Carrd’s army that is trying to destroy the civilization that ‘we’ created!】

【Don’t fight for the monarch and the ruling class anymore!】

【From now on, fight for your comrades! Family! Race! You are not fighting to fight but fighting to protect! The Crolr in the future will be like that!】

【The Crolr will prosper like that!】

➖Dracatarrk Crolaaaaaaa!!!

All the survivors spontaneously came to serve the new ‘monarch’.

If the previous monarchs proved their qualifications as a monarch with power, Dracatarr was the one who proved his qualifications with something other than power.

🔷🔷🔷

The conference room of the colony’s upper management.

“Ruler, what should we do now?”

“What do you mean?”

The Liorums Federation’s foreign diplomat looked very uncomfortable. On the other hand, Kreion maintained an expressionless and apathetic gaze as always.

“The Parahtoria suddenly attacked the Crolr capital without any explanation. Do you think that makes sense?”

“I don’t know why they did that either. That’s why we are investigating the Parahtoria, but we are not getting any proper answers.”

“What did the Parahtoria say?”

“They said that the Crolr attacked their members first. So, they said they only did that to the capital structure as a warning.”

“Does that make sense?”

“Why don’t you think it makes sense?”

Liorums’ three fingers trembled at Kreion’s shameless response.

“The Parahtoria is a subordinate race of the Chimeraz and part of the Hive Alliance. It is reasonable to assume that the Chimeraz or the Hive Alliance had an intention behind their movement. It is hard to believe that I have to explain this myself.”

“Even though they are a subordinate race, the Parahtoria has its own direction and something it pursues. They don’t always move as we want.”

“I understand. Then, let’s do this.”

It seemed like Kreion was going to pretend that he did not know anything until the end.

So, Liorums skillfully dealt with the situation in order not to get caught up with Kreion.

“The Lomro-or army will take care of the Parahtoria groups that are attacking the capital structure.”

“I’m sorry, but that is a matter for the Crolr and the Parahtoria to handle.”

“The Crolr is a race that the Le-orantarum Federation is watching over. We will send our army to the Crolr capital in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Please understand as the situation is what it is.”

However, Kreion did not easily give in. He did not back down at all.

“We cannot allow the army of your race to enter the Large Magellanic Cloud that we rule. The weak races under the indirect protection of the Hive Alliance will rebel.”

“Does it matter if they rebel?”

“It does. The weak races in the Large Magellanic Cloud are those who have not seen light for a very long time. They are now starting to properly bloom their own civilizations under the shadow of the Hive Alliance, so how will they react if the army of a powerful foreign force like Lomro-or suddenly enters?”

“How will they react. . .”

“They will definitely think that the Hive Alliance is weak. The power to suppress the armed intervention of foreign forces, that is.”

It was quite reasonable, so Liorums felt angry inside. It would have been easier to deal with if Kreion flatly said no, but it was complicated because he mentioned reasons one by one to say no.

“That’s why we can never allow the army of the Lomro-or race or the Le-orantarum Federation to enter our Large Magellanic Cloud.”

Since he had no intention of backing down, Liorums pushed forward forcefully.

“This attitude right now, are you rejecting the proposal we made to the Chimeraz before?”

“The plan for the Hive Alliance and the Le-orantarum Federation to take over the local galactic group together. We reject that proposal and will take a neutral stance.”

“If the Chimeraz does not reach out, we need to intervene in the Crolr even more.”

“Yes.”

“So, we have no choice but to send our army to the Large Magellanic Cloud. I’m sorry.”

Then, Kreion pushed back even harder.

“If you send your army to the Large Magellanic Cloud, we will consider it an act of provocation against the Chimeraz and the Hive Alliance, and we will declare war.”

Liorums showed hostility in his eyes.

“You talk about declaring war so lightly. The Chimeraz has shown such an appearance since before, but I never thought you would do that in front of us.”

“It is nothing different for Liorums. If the Hive Alliance does something unacceptable, we would have answered like this regardless of who the opponent is.”

“That’s why you, the Chimeraz, are treated as monsters.”

“That kind of provocation does not work either.”

“Can you handle it?”

“Can you handle it?”

“What do you mean?”

“You who have never fought a racial war.”

That one question was not light at all.

Among the Chimeraz and Lomro-or, the race with the greater power was naturally Lomro-or, which had the Le-orantarum Federation. However, if you consider which race became stronger and survived through harsher history, the Chimeraz is naturally overwhelming.

There was no race in this local galactic group that had grown up as roughly as the Chimeraz. Above all, the entire population of the Chimeraz civilization was a fighting force.

Creak!

So, Liorums had no choice but to get up from his seat roughly. That action seemed to prove that Liorums had no other grounds to refute Kreion’s remarks.

“You will regret being rude to me right now, ruler.”

“Yes. I thought you would make such a threat.”

“. . . .Let’s see.”
