Episode 99. [Fear of war, preparation for war – 4]
—————————==
A container ship was floating in the open sea of the West Sea. .
The name of the ship is Muwangpaljun (權王八驗).
Looking at its appearance, it looks like an ordinary 13,300 TEU container ship.
However, it was a ship for ocean-going operations secretly owned by the Chinese Ministry of Public Security, with hundreds of player crew members on board, and was literally a ‘sea fortress’ equipped with all kinds of magic weapons.
In addition, because ‘stealth’ magic was applied to the entire ship at all times, it could not be identified with the naked eye or even by satellite, and because ‘mana coating’ was applied to the hull, it was not detected by military radar.
In other words, it boasts almost perfect stealth.
“Now don’t maneuver at this point!”
However, since it was impossible to hide the spray generated when the ship was propelled, the engine had to be turned off and stopped for complete concealment.
“Are you ready to deploy a two-way portal to the 2nd Space Jump Team’s mainland?”
Feng Tien, the captain of this ship, inspected the deck and asked.
“Yes! The ‘link’ magic to Nanjing Hongdao office building is ready.”
“Yes, at the same time as the infiltration team returns, we open the portal to the mainland and safely and completely transport the Laputa administrator authority to the continent! “The hundred-year plan of the People’s Republic of China rests at our fingertips!”
As such, their mission was to serve as a ‘middle bridge’ linking two-way portals that instantly lead to Korean land – ship – Chinese land.
Soon the operation began.
“—The two-way portal ‘Link’ request from Seoul has been received!”
– All crew members are in position! Intercontinental convoy operation begins!
As the wizard players gathered on the deck raised their wands and staffs, blue rays of light began to spread out and come together.
“Snipers, prepare for any unexpected situation—!”
Oh—oh—oh—oh——!
Soon, a hole opened in the middle of the deck, and I started to see what was inside… It was dark, so I couldn’t see much.
Several figures walked out of the darkness
. —
“Oh— Xiaojun he’s here!”
someone shouted
And indeed, Xiaojun, the deputy master of Hongdao Guild, ranked 21st in China and a key player in this operation, walked out unharmed.
“Okay, it’s a success!”
“-hurray!”
They couldn’t help but be happy to see it.
And on the other hand, I felt overwhelmed. If the plan goes as planned, he would have usurped Laputa’s administrator authority and returned.
‘That means Laputa is truly ours now!’
This will cause quite a loud diplomatic dispute, but…
‘Well, that doesn’t matter.’
Feng Tien thought so.
The most important thing was who was holding it in the end. ‘Laputa’s administrator’s authority’ is also an ‘item’ after all. As long as you hold onto it tightly… international law alone cannot take away its ownership.
“Yes, in the end it is our victory!”
But their festive mood cooled down quickly.
“…Huh?”
Strangely enough, it was because Xiaojun was dead.
Then, an unfamiliar but familiar face appeared behind him.
“—Huh!”
Feng Tien and other members of the Muwang Eight Jun crew recognized that face.
“This Lee Hyun-wook!”
Today, the name that is most mentioned not only in Korea but also around the world… The one who is called the savior of Seoul and the Sword Saint Beater! He appeared with Xiaojun. ‘What? Wasn’t Lee Hyun-wook the
target of this operation?’
Feng Tien was a villain and knew the details of the operation, so the most influential person as Laputa’s manager was Lee Hyun-wook. In other words, if everything
went according to plan, he should have died.
Or at least… he shouldn’t have shown up here now.
“Xia Xiaojun, what is this?”
Then Xiaojun lowered his head and said weakly,
“Ugh—I’m sorry, everyone.”
“huh?”
“…We got it wrong from the beginning.”
“What does that mean?”
“You shouldn’t… touch them carelessly.”
Next, people dressed in black appeared behind Lee Hyun-wook.
“-shit! Korean army! It’s a trap!”
“The entire crew responds to enemy infiltration!”
Then, crew members appeared from all over and surrounded the Korean military. Currently, the number of players aboard this ship was close to 120. “Did you
come here knowing where you were?”
“Those bastards must all be buried!”
They pointed their weapons at the Korean players and growled,
“
…Everyone, don’t move.”
Lee Hyun-wook said that and lifted something up.
It was… some kind of magic scroll.
And that wasn’t all. Two ROK AMT officers appeared behind him and stepped forward, and they were also holding magic scrolls.
“It’s the item you sent us . You know what this is, right?”
Then the Chinese crew couldn’t help but think.
“Oh, that’s… a bomb scroll…”
It was a ‘Hellfire’ magic scroll. Anyone can inject ‘mana’ into it. It was capable of manifesting such powerful magic.
In other words, it was enough to burn down an entire ship.
“I thought it was delivered in error, so I came to return it.”
Lee Hyun-wook said that and walked forward, and the Chinese tanks surrounding the two-way portal stepped back without realizing it.
“If you make even the slightest mistake, we will all burn to death.”
As the captain, Feng Tien stepped forward and faced him:
“…What do you want, Hyunwook Lee?”
He asked calmly.
If he took the risk of showing up in person, he must have wanted something. And as expected, Lee Hyun-wook nodded.
“Okay, I have one request.”
“Okay, as the captain of this ship, I will accommodate as much as possible.”
He obediently spoke in order to save this ship.
But… his request was beyond common sense.
“What I want… is this ship.”
“Uh what?”
“So you all get off right away.”
He said that and pointed out to the sea outside the ship.
Feng Tian’s eyebrows twitched at that absurd request.
‘What the fuck is this bastard talking nonsense…’
He forced down the anger boiling inside him.
‘Yes, we have to take a low-key stance right now.’
But I had no intention of having an author sale until the end.
‘We can subdue these bastards.’
He thought so and poured mana into his fingertips.
‘Hellfire is definitely powerful, but… this is the sea.’
Of course, even if it was floating at sea, the ship could have burned down. However, it is different if he is a grade A elementalist, that is, a water elementalist.
No matter how ‘Hellfire’ it was, he could have saved the ship if he had raised the seawater and covered the entire ship.
‘That guy probably doesn’t know about me.’
Feng Tien did not have an official ranking. This was because it was a case of growing up secretly as a secret agent from the Ministry of Public Security.
Bubble—bubble—
he was very secretly raising the sea water.
‘…In an instant, it creates a wave and sweeps away.’
His most powerful moment was right now at sea.
But that was then.
“No—Feng Tien, don’t do anything nonsense.”
“What? “Do you… know me…?”
Hiss—!
However, instead of answering, Lee Hyun-wook’s bracelet on his left hand flew like a snake and tied Feng Tian’s body, who was unable to react, and bound him.
“Oops! This is—!”
No matter how hard I tried, it wouldn’t budge.
– You are bound by ‘Guleipnir’!
* You cannot release it by yourself for 10 minutes.
* All ‘abilities’ are sealed for 10 minutes.
‘Damn it, Gleipnir!’
It was something they prepared to subdue Lee Hyun-wook.
However, it was used in reverse.
Ch—ah—ah…
At this, the boiling water columns sank down in vain.
And then something poured out from the two-way portal.
yes-! yes-! yes-! yes-!
That was a total of 12 AD-1s.
They flew into the sky and quickly surrounded the ship.
“Ouch! Those are items that pour steel rain!”
“Damn it… everyone watch your heads!”
Their power was already widely known.
“I never say twice.”
Lee Hyun-wook slowly raised his left hand.
“…If you don’t want to die, don’t do anything.”
At his one word, silence fell on board. It was the moment when the
entire Mokwangbajun, which could be called the best maritime fortress at the moment,
was completely suppressed in an instant.
***
Immediately after that, Emilia Müller appeared.
“Oh, is this bastard a villain too?”
She cleansed the latent magic in the head of the villain—Feng Tien.
So, Lee Hyun-wook said to Feng Tien, who had a dazed expression.
“Feng Tien, deploy a two-way portal right now.”
“…what?”
“You have prepared a second two-way portal leading from here to your land, right? Since you know everything, it would be better to just open it.”
Feng Tien’s face turned red. They must have thought that since they had suffered in this way, they had to stop it here.
“No! Don’t ever listen to these bastards, even if it costs you death!”
It seemed that he was quite faithful to his role.
“This friend should also show you a taste of ‘Rolling the Intestine’?”
“Well, I don’t have time for that ,” Emilia Müller said with a grin .
“You will notice it there.”
Lee Hyun-wook showed how he stuffed ‘restraint spheres’ around the necks of the wizards in charge of deploying portals and then shredded a piece of metal.
“Ugh…”
Then, more obediently than I expected, I started using the ‘Link’ magic.
“Ugh, no way, you traitors…”
In Feng Tien’s frustration, a portal to China began to unfold.
Lee Hyun-wook watched the scene and prepared five bomb scrolls.
‘I really need to return this…. ‘
At that time, Feng Tien, who must have sensed Lee Hyun-wook’s intention, shouted,
“You crazy bastard! “Do you know what you’re trying to do now?”
“huh?”
“Now… you’re trying to blow it on our land! That’s the Hongdao Guild headquarters in Nanjing! You’re trying to kill a lot of people!”
At those words, a shadow appeared on Lee Hyun-wook’s face.
“This is absurd…”
He put his fist into a steel body and struck Feng Tien’s face.
Pfft—
“Pfft!”
A lot of blood fell on the deck.
“Have you forgotten what you were going to use this for?”
Lee Hyun-wook was sick of acting like a moral citizen of the world who only shows up when necessary. Ahn Ha-muin’s unreasonable logic… was a characteristic of a villain.
“Ugh…….”
“Like I said from the beginning, I’m just returning it.”
Eventually, a two-way portal opened.
It
was connected to the Hongdao Guild headquarters in the Nanjing area, and
I made eye contact with the Chinese people standing inside beyond the portal.
“Huh? What is it, Feng Tien! What’s going on there…”
A bewildered voice came from there.
Immediately after, Lee Hyun-wook threw out a portal scroll that granted mana.
There were a total of 5.
“—Damn it!”
Red-
hot flames came out beyond the portal. The portal entrance was turned toward the sea, so there was no damage to the ship. However, it was so powerful that a pillar of fire that was over a hundred meters long spewed out and the ship rocked. This is this place
. To that extent, the Hongdo Guild’s headquarters would have collapsed.
‘…The Hongdo Guild is a representative villain force in China.’
Of course… unrelated people might die as a result of this.
‘But we can’t even consider that.’
Lee Hyun-wook witnessed the world collapsing due to the villain.
That was the worst future that could not be prevented even with moderate efforts.
“Ah…”
Feng Tien watched the portal close with a devastated expression.
Such Feng Tien Lee Hyun-wook suddenly asked,
“Feng Tien, where is the engine room of this ship?”
“Uh what?”
“Would you like to take a look at some of the stuff there?”
The true value of the name Muwangpaljun (權王八驗) lies therein.
