The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
28. Hunter with military rank
I opened the door slowly and looked outside, my grandfather was standing in the middle of the village with his long sword glowing red, just like before.
I also saw that the large locust horde had disappeared, but the grasshopper corpses were almost non-existent, there was only one lying, and that was headless.
"Hii..." I shudder in horror at seeing it, who the hell is not horrified to see the body of a living creature lying without life and without a head? Only the Hunters I don't think are horrified to see such a thing...
Some of the villagers came out and they cheered happily, because my grandfather managed to save the village that was attacked by a locust monster that could speak human language.
But, I still do not believe, it turns out that all the articles I read in SuraBaya about some Monsters who are able to communicate with human language is true, even I saw it directly with my own eyes...
"I'm asking you not to let your guard down, there's a chance that such a Monster will attack the song, so I suggest that you move to a bigger and safer city." Said my grandfather loudly, "If I could, I would ask Frans to send his troops here to keep watch or take you to Jakarta, but he would definitely not."
"So, what should we do?" Ask one of the guys there.
"Just be calm and move for help to some city next door, I do not advise Surabaya because the city is destroyed." My grandfather replied, "Then I'll try to contact Frans..."
My grandfather pulled out a protective cell phone with a picture of a bird that was half red and half white. I'm guessing that bird is a RedWhite emblem.
"Hello..." My grandfather spoke to his cell phone, "I want to ask for help under the name Sky Star the Dark Cloak Swordsman..."
My grandfather talked to someone on the phone, I think he called Frans, and he spoke as if he were talking to his subordinates, even though Frans was the head of the RedWhite organization...
"Oh, okay, I'll wait for your men..." Said my grandfather before he closed his call and glanced at everyone, "I've asked RedWhite for help..."
Just having my grandfather name RedWhite makes everyone happier, and my grandfather explaining everything he was talking about with Frans.
"You managed to gain access to Jakarta with the help of General Frans, and he will send his troops to pick you up, all that time..." My grandfather pointed to everyone, "You have to clean up, make yourself clean, because in Jakarta you will be checked..."
"You also have to reduce your luggage, try to keep only important items that you carry, which is not important you leave behind..."
"When will General Frans come?" Ask one of the villagers.
"About two to three days considering the distance of Jakarta with this small village..." My grandfather stroked his chin, "In the meantime, you guys have to get ready, I'll keep watch around..."
After saying so, my grandfather turned around and walked away from the crowd and went back around. I glanced at the villagers who were discussing before I ran to follow my grandfather.

"Hmm, well, I was just curious about Frans' uncle..." I scratched my head.
To be honest, I am confused by the name of General Frans, is not the General a rank in the military? Why does Hunter seem to have such a rank as well?
"Ah, you must be confused by me calling him General, huh? It's only natural that you're just slowly entering the Hunter world..." My grandfather sat by the guard post and then called me to sit down. I followed my grandfather and sat down next to him.
"For the few countries that still stand today, the Hunters are no different from military soldiers. Therefore, some high-ranking Hunters can have military rank, of course they get it by being given by the leader of the country..."
"That Frans, he was called a General, rank under the Great General, the highest military rank in the country. Counted there are several Hunters who have the rank of General in this country, grandfather one of them."
I fell silent, my grandfather became part of the Indonesian military? Wow, that's great...
"Even if Hunter has military rank, they also participate in decision-making in the military forces, he said, because some of the country's military forces also took part in several raids on several islands known to be inhabited by powerful monsters."
"Who is the Hunter in our country who once held the rank of Great General?" My toot.
"Hmm, there seems to be, but it's been a long time. If now, there are only five Hunters who become Great Generals in each country, one of which is Tom Cage the Burning Arm. You must know because he's the strongest Hunter right now..."
Yeah, I know... Tom Cage had at least a lot of great achievements during his time as a Hunter, which is why he was called the strongest Hunter and was given the rank of Great General.
"If you remember again, it seems like there was once a Hunter who had an SSS rank and had a higher military rank than ordinary Generals, that is the Great General and he controls all the military forces in his country..." My grandfather trembled a little when he said that.
SSS rank, is not the usual SS rank that we call the strongest Hunter, but SSS rank is a truly powerful Hunter, which is said to be able to fight two Monsters who are able to speak at once.
There is no article that mentions the existence of the Hunter in the present, but I want to hear the story from my grandfather who is almost a century old.
"The SSS Hunter rank was really strong, it was said that he had been to the island of Greenland alone to fight a Monster with the ice element, and slightly more defeated it, where a Monster capable of using such natural elements was difficult to deal with even the ten previous SS rank Hunters..."
"What did Grandpa tell you that for?" My toot.
"Let you know, if the SSS rank Hunter, in addition to being called the Great General of China, he is also referred to as Black Ruler..." My grandfather quivered again, "You know what that means? The ruler! He is Ruler!"
"If so how? I'm Ruler and I'm proud of that..."
