Genius Wizard Who Takes Medicine, Chapter 290
intelligence unit (2)
At the end of the designated marksman who died in an instant, the communication network becomes noisy.
[The base!!]
[Unable to obtain data. not traceable. Keep coordinates lost!]
[Damn it…!!]
Even though he thoroughly built a siege and attracted the opponent, he lost the opponent’s position in only two battles.
In addition, now that this side is being hunted in reverse, it was not strange that swear words flowed through the wireless network.
[Operation impossible. Retreat required…!]
profit!
The crew member’s voice, which continued to express his skeptical opinion over the wireless network, suddenly cut off.
As if that was a signal, the other crew members began to pack up their equipment in unison.
It was only after losing the first colleague who foresaw the danger that he realized the risk.
PABABABABAK!!
In an instant, the members of the crew quickly exchanged glances after leaving their respective organized positions and arriving at the pre-determined assembly point.
“Breeze, Otter, Pacer…”
Even while they were retreating, the three of them were already invisible, as if they had been hit by a silent sniping.
What remains are the two vanguards waiting in line 3, and the two surviving shooters.
The four of them somehow maintained their ranks and started to break through the alley of the shopping mall.
Contrary to the reputation, it was confirmed that the opponent was a high-level shooter as much as the magic he possessed.
In order to secure solid battle data, much more elaborate preparations would be needed.
The eyes of the members running through the messy garbage in the alleyway were shaking uneasy before they knew it.
The moment I ran out of the plaza passing through the alleyway between the lights of the smashed fluorescent lights.
“If you said hello first, you should show your face and go.”
On the other side of the quiet plaza, a wizard in a coat was staring at them blankly.
The sight of him burning a cigarette with his hands in his pockets seemed so relaxed that it was unbelievable that it belonged to a gunner who had just hunted down members of the crew.
Looking at the four frozen opponents, Lennok opened his mouth.
“It looks like they did some research on me, but the data was lacking.”
“…”
“Aside from that, the selection of the venue and the position were very good. Besides, this street is a road I don’t usually go on, but it can’t be said that it was a coincidence that I settled down after predicting my movement to some extent without any data.”
Lennok was lost in thought, stroking his chin with a hand holding a tobacco.
Despite the appearance of openly showing a gap, the other members remained silent instead of hastily moving.
The Wizard of District 49.
There is no one here who does not know how meticulous and cunning a fighter this man, who is nicknamed Kyeong-roe, is.
The fact that this mage, who had been hunting his companions without even revealing his location until recently, calmly blocked the escape route and appeared, would be impossible without the certainty that he was holding the lifeline of this side.
It wouldn’t be strange if his head was cut off the moment he pulled out his armament.
“You are more careful than you think. Why did you do that when you can do it so well?”
Lennok laughed at the sight of the four members, who were shaking their hands faintly but never moving recklessly.
“If you didn’t want to give us room to respond, you should have fought with all your might from the beginning. The breathing that balances the avant-garde and the rearguard was sophisticated, but it was defeat in itself to divide the power and attack with a time difference.”
“Whoa…”
A low breathing sound leaks out between the tense crew members.
Where is the safe place under this vast plaza? No matter how much you move, can you preserve your life?
I can’t even guess if I’m allowed to speak.
Since they have gone through a lot of combat training, they are all the more aware of how monstrous the opponent in front of them is.
He is a man who rose to his present position by winning one victory after another against monsters that they could not even compete with.
Perhaps the very idea of securing data from the beginning was arrogant.
Lenoch looked at them and chewed the tobacco in his mouth as if he had remembered something.
“No, no… There’s no way you wouldn’t know that. Rather, he wanted to see my reaction. I was waiting to see how you would react and how you would deal with it.”
“…!”
“Right.”
Even without saying or doing anything, you find the answer simply by ruminating and looking back on what happened in the past.
Lennok laughed, realizing their purpose and intent in an instant.
“It wasn’t that there was a lack of data. They were targeting me to secure data.”
“I am Larsen, a special forces lieutenant directly under the command of the Balkan Outer Front Defense Force.”
As soon as he heard that, the front-most member opened his mouth and quickly let out his words.
Lenok, who was dripping with his smoke, stared into Larsen’s face.
“I came here to carry out a confidential mission under the order of my superiors. I am sorry for what happened today.”
“…”
“As you can see, my men and I no longer have the will to fight, and we have no means of fighting you. Accordingly, we demand that you treat us respectfully according to the Continental Prisoner of War Protocol!!!”
Larsen, who spoke quickly in a heavy tone, suddenly began shaking his limbs like a frog struck by lightning.
As he screamed with his tongue twisted, he twisted his whole body and collapsed with his head in place.
Judging from his breathing, he seemed to be still alive, but the crew members were pale and shut their mouths.
The reaction Larsen showed just now is impossible without being electrocuted by a powerful voltage.
However, the crew did not detect any signs of electricity until just before.
Even though all the members gathered here are high-level magic users, the man in front of him is at a level that can deflect even the senses of such members and strike magic.
He is by no means an ordinary 7th-level Aspect Wizard.
Rather, its mysteriousness far surpasses that of other wizards of the same class.
A strange sense of intimidation caused by the fear of the unknown. Lennok’s gaze pressed heavily on the soldiers’ shoulders.
Lennok stared blankly at the crew members and said,
“You seem to be mistaken about something, but I don’t want to hear plausible answers from you guys.”
“…Well, then…”
“I’m just waiting for my colleague to come.”
I’ve already contacted Manson, so he’ll be here before long.
Instead of killing them all, Lenok put his life on the line to listen to the information spewed out of his mouth.
Shouldn’t he pay the price for being determined, building a siege, and revealing his murderous intentions to Lennok?
Piying!!
The faint electric current generated between the fingers rode the magician and penetrated the temples of the members.
The other three also failed to resist the slightest and lost consciousness in an instant.
Lennok wrapped the limbs of those four with magicians and hung them upside down in the air, then calmly took a breath.
“Whoa…”
A relaxed look that seems completely relaxed. Lenok backed away slowly just like that, casually placing his hand on his waist.
Taang!!
A flash of light flashed through the back of his coat, and the bullet pierced the air.
Right after that, a faint haze appeared next to the bullet’s trajectory, and a slender new model popped out and landed in the middle.
“Once you’re done watching, come out and talk.”
Lennok turned around and asked, fixing his revolver.
“Isn’t there something I need to do?”
“…This is amazing.”
The one who stood up was a woman with a short hair who was smiling brightly.
The face that kept her composure in the face of her sudden gunfire was the kind that even Lennok’s memory had been familiar with from before.
“I never thought you could see through my stealth so easily.”
“…”
“I remember that I was definitely not this sensitive before, right?”
I understand what she means.
The stealth technique he was hiding behind Lennok just now was not at the level of simply hiding his presence, but at the level of covering his body completely by overlapping spaces.
If it wasn’t for Lennox’s spatial perception, which had become extremely sensitive due to his realization at the ruins, it would not have been easy for him to notice her presence.
“well….”
But instead of telling the truth, Lennok stared blankly at her face.
An executive at Plato’s mercenary office, her name is Nicole.
An opponent who got used to his face at the time of the request with Dyke Corporation, and confronted him on the other side at the time of the agent’s request.
But he’s never had his hands mixed.
It was because Nicole herself rated Lennok quite high and did not want to turn her into an enemy hastily.
He gave the impression that even then he was quite cold-hearted and rational.
She hadn’t appeared on this street for a while, and if she had suddenly come looking for Lenoch, what would be the reason?
asked Lenoch, who was flicking the tobacco in his mouth.
“About a year has passed since the Plato Mercenary Office became inactive.”
“…”
“I thought there would be a reaction when I joined hands with Antares and worked with the cartel, but it was unexpected that it was quiet.”
“Um…”
“I heard that the head of that office is a very ambitious person.
After confronting the mercenary Adam Brobeck in a proxy war in the citadel, Lennox picked up some information about Plato’s Mercenary Office from Jenny.
A place where talented freelancers were scouted with strangely strong financial power.
In addition to that, Captain Plato was known for being very confident and full of ambition among the mercenaries in the area.
Anyone who hears that even though he has one of the best mercenary offices under his command in the shadows of the Balkans, it is obvious that he is not satisfied with the position of mercenary leader.
Naturally, he can’t help but think of rumors floating around the office.
Lennok was now questioning whether Plato’s mercenary office was really a corporation with connections from the city government.
Nicole, who had been waiting for a while, replied with a wry smile.
“I used to think he was outstanding, but he’s really amazing. I don’t think he’s the same person.”
“…”
“I thought that if it was to the extent of getting the outside director position even after seeing the cartel head-on, there must be a reason for that, but… Alas, I should have kept it in the office at the time.”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
Lennok nodded at the crew hanging upside down behind his back.
“Unless you, Nicole, are closely connected with these friends.”
“…”
“You’ve been watching from the beginning, so you’ve heard everything, right? Outer Front Defense Force Command. The heads of the maintenance forces, including mobile fortresses located on the outskirts of the city, which are directly under the control of the city government.”
Lennok’s gaze at Nicole shone eerily.
“Is there anything you want to say about this?”
Although he was already a face-to-face acquaintance, Lennok wasn’t going to be caught off guard by that.
Those who attacked Lenok were, to put it bluntly, special forces members of the National Defense Forces, which are directly under the city government.
And Nicole is an executive of a mercenary group that is rumored to have been created with connections from the city government.
At first glance, if these two organizations, which seem to belong to completely different organizations, share one keyword, city government, then there is a possibility that the two may be one.
It’s not unconvincing that Nicole was hiding to rescue them.
Nicole, noticing the quiet murderous intent in Lennok’s gaze, raised both of his hands with a troubled smile.
“Well, I’ll admit I did something that could be misunderstood. But I have nothing to do with them. Rather, I came to warn you.”
“…a warning?”
“These are not soldiers who went into operation under orders from the city government. In fact, it is rather the opposite.”
She continued her words while keeping an eye on the faces of the crew members who had passed out while hanging.
“Rumors have been circulating among the city government’s security network that the direct line to the Defense Forces Command is not connected since about three days ago.”
“…”
“At the same time, they say that guerrilla-type raids like this are happening frequently against high-ranking people who are not in the direct line of the city council.”
The National Guard, which was supposed to protect the outer front of the Balkans, began to move without receiving orders from the city council.
It wasn’t hard to see what the words meant.
“Is it treason?”
“High-ranking officials in the city government are even considering a coup in the worst case scenario.”
“…”
“The timing is absolutely perfect. Before the discussion on the prohibition law began in earnest. At this point, Hyungung, the head of the agent, is away on a long vacation. Because in the central Balkan area, there are no bright and talented people who are allowed to act beyond self-defense.”
Nicole said while examining Lennok’s expression carefully.
“That’s why the other side was collecting data like this, looking for the powerful people in the shadows who would pose the most threat to them.”
