Episode 227 [Advance (2)]
Eurasian Union Command.
Inside the sturdy barracks, Russia, North Korea, Manchuria, and Korea. The generals of the four countries were gathered together and growling at each other.
“Our Russian army will have the strongest firepower, so I think we can take charge of the main force.”
“I don’t think our Korean military will be pushed back when it comes to firepower, but…”
“They’re afraid of pushing into a mountain range full of monsters. “I think the awakened person’s skills will be more important than firepower.”
“Anyway, we are fighting on the land of Manchuria. “Other units won’t even be able to properly identify terrain.”
The generals of the four countries were talking about their countries’ strengths to each other through an interpreter.
It was a very childish sight, and all the generals felt pitiful about what they were seeing, but there was nothing they could do about it now.
I had to take the initiative.
The four countries came together to fight monsters, but they were not without competition.
It was the first offensive after continued defense by
the newly independent independent state of Manchuria, North Korea, which still retains the remnants of its past dictatorship, South Korea, which is rising to become the world’s most powerful country, and Russia, which is regaining its former power.
This operation had to show the strength of its own military.
To their own citizens, to other countries and to EVs.
Elite troops from all the countries of the Eurasian Union were gathered here.
Of course, because it was gathered in a hurry, it was mainly light equipment, but everyone was confident in the quality of the assembled units.
With a unit like this, we couldn’t be pushed back.
Plus there was no time.
We had to come to a conclusion as much as possible before the awakened person dispatched from EV arrived.
I had to come to a conclusion beforehand so I wouldn’t be swayed by EV.
However, they seemed unable to come to a conclusion before the EV Awakening arrived.
“I’m from EV.”
The generals, who had been shouting loudly, sighed when they heard voices coming from outside the barracks.
It’s late.
It seemed like we would eventually be swayed by EV.
fluttering.
A man came into the barracks, pulling up the tent. It was a man wearing a black body armor with the EV mark on it.
It felt as if some eerie energy had passed through the barracks. The once cluttered barracks suddenly became quiet.
General Lim Jong-moo frowned when he saw the young man entering the barracks.
As an awakened person, he seemed to give off some unusual energy, but he was also a general who had been on the front lines in recent years. He wasn’t the type to be swayed by something like that.
The awakened person dispatched from EV was younger than expected.
Of course, I wasn’t the type of person to look down on someone just because they were young, but thinking about the President’s instructions to follow EV’s words as much as possible made me feel frustrated.
An armored brigade, two artillery battalions, a special brigade, an Apache helicopter battalion, and even Awakened people drawn from the Awakened Association.
The temporary division he commanded was a division that brought together Korea’s strongest units.
While commanding a division like this, I have to listen to a young man like that.
Honestly, what do people like the Awakened know about unit tactics and operations?
The general sighed inwardly and looked around to see the expressions of the other generals.
However, the expressions on the other generals’ faces were different from his expectations.
Jump up!
When the North Korean general saw Kyung-hoon, he stood up and saluted.
“Lee Gwang-jo is listed. I didn’t know you would come in person. “Welcome.”
Sweat was beading on his face as he greeted me.
He looked as if he was scared.
“Ah, it’s the person who was at the Chairman’s Palace. long time no see.”
“I’ll see you later at the Yalu River… Oh no.”
The general quickly turned his horse around.
In his mind, there was a clear memory of the monster in front of him running rampant in Pyongyang and the Yalu River.
There was no way it wasn’t scary.
“I didn’t know Mr. Kay would come in person.”
The Russian general greeted me with a nervous expression and said,
“I couldn’t even say hello properly back then. Thank you for saving me and my unit members.”
The general of the independent Manchurian state lowered his head as if he had seen the person who had saved his life.
“Oh kay? executor?”
General Lim Jong-moo learned who the opponent was from the words of the Russian general.
I’ve heard of Kay’s name before. If he remembered correctly, he was known as EV’s enforcer.
Kyung-hoon twitched his eyes as he looked at the Korean general who was surprised to see him.
General Lim Jong-moo. He was a soldier he knew well.
It was a general I had seen before when I was in the military, but I thought it would be better not to pretend to know him now.
“Nice to meet you all. “This is EV’s Kay.”
He sat down at the empty seat at the table where the generals were gathered.
Only middle-aged and older generals were sitting, and all of the staff at the rank of officer were standing, but no one was dissatisfied with Gyeong-hoon sitting with the general.
“Because we are busy, we will first show you the data that EV has confirmed so far.”
Kyung-hoon sat down and pointed to the screen set up on one side of the barracks.
At his words, the soldier in charge of the equipment rushed out, but before he did, the projector, which had been in sleep mode, turned on. A map appeared on the screen.
Are you sure it was locked? Is there a wireless communication password? The soldier looked at the projector and screen with a bewildered expression.
The generals also looked at the laptop in front of them with surprised eyes.
The same screen was displayed on the laptop.
[What you see on the screen is a satellite image showing the locations of high-grade monsters centered around the Daxing’anling Mountains.]
Then, a cool female voice was heard. The woman explained in English.
There were generals who could not speak English well, but there was no general who could not understand.
This was because subtitles were played in their native language from the laptop placed in front of them.
The generals groaned as they looked at the satellite images displayed on the screen.
They were surprised by EV’s ability to launch a satellite and even determine the location of monsters on its own.
Whether the generals were surprised or not, Eve continued her explanation.
[The blue dots are knight-level monsters, and the yellow ones are commonly called general-level monsters.]
The generals’ groans deepened as the explanation continued.
This was because the screen was full of dots.
It was the armies of the Eurasian Union that did a great job capturing the monsters that had come out of the mountains.
As a result, the military was full of confidence in its own strength.
The generals thought that if the mountain range was not a dense forest, they could push right in.
However, the number of monsters remaining in the mountain range was much greater than expected.
“It’s impossible to fight that many monsters.”
One of the staff members standing behind muttered in a low voice. It was a very quiet barracks, so everyone could hear his voice.
No word of opposition was heard. The people here were all soldiers who had fought monsters on the front lines.
There was no way to know how powerful the number of monsters within the mountain range was.
If that number came out, it would be impossible to defend even if all the units around the mountain range, not just the units gathered here, blocked it.
Eve answered him.
[You don’t have to fight all those monsters.]
People looked puzzled. This was because I thought it was a recorded voice.
[I will enlarge the center of the screen. You will see a pink dot.]
The satellite photo was enlarged along with her words.
As the middle of the dense mountain range continues to expand, the center. In the middle of the forest, I saw a place that looked like an abandoned ruin with a pink dot.
[Our EV understands that the pink dot is the monster that dominates the monsters in this mountain range. It is a monster of the same level as the monster that appeared in Dubai not long ago and destroyed the city.]
The generals’ expressions became serious at Eve’s words. They also knew about the monster that appeared in Dubai.
[Our target is the monster represented by that pink dot. If that monster is eliminated, the mountain range monsters that are currently attacking humans will become nothing more than mere beasts.] The
collapse of Europe and other countries and the Eurasian Union, which has been preparing for two years, are barely holding it back have all been proven. It was because of the actions of other monsters.
Dealing with monsters that attack with strategies like humans rather than simply running wild in search of food was several times more difficult than before.
General Lim Jong-moo, who was looking at the screen with a serious expression, opened his mouth.
“You must be sure, right?”
That wasn’t all. The other generals and staff all wanted confirmation.
As expected, the screen where the red dot was visible was filled with yellow and blue dots.
Additionally, there were many things to see on the way to the goal.
Those dots were all high-grade monsters.
No proper officer could push an entire unit into a deep mountain range full of monsters without a strong sense of trust.
Kyung-hoon slightly raised his eyebrows at General Lim Jong-moo’s words. He was like a general who liked certainty.
“I’m sure. EV promises.”
The generals nodded at Kyung-hoon’s words. This was because I could trust what EV enforcer Kay said.
In reality, it was the promise of the entire EV, but the executioner’s promise alone was enough for the generals to believe.
[Then I will explain the operation from now on.]
“That’s ridiculous. EV even operations?”
Following Eve’s words, a murmur was heard from the staff.
But the sound quickly quieted down.
[This is the result of running a total of 300,000 war game simulations by comparing the locations and grades of monsters with the current unit formation and the awakened weapons of each unit member.] [It is being reviewed by email from military experts in each country, and each country’s war game simulation is in the process of being reviewed
. Confirmation has been completed. Please review the staff and generals as well.]
During the review process, there were many illegal incidents such as hacking, but they did not mention that.
The staff and generals looked blankly at the real-time status map that was displayed on the screen.
It was a very complex and detailed operation, but it was still easily recognizable.
The operation itself was simple. It was a strategy to pour in all the firepower and rush to the goal with a one-point breakthrough.
After a while, the Russian general who was watching the screen opened his mouth.
“Let’s go on like this. “It’s several times more complicated and detailed, but it’s not much different from the first operation I created with my staff.”
Everyone nodded at the Russian general’s words.
-It’s just as the master said. To be honest, it’s quite a different operation… but since it was packaged similarly, it was easy to get consent. I thought I knew something about human psychology, but I still don’t know enough.
While listening to Eve’s words, Gyeonghoon shook hands with the generals.
While shaking hands, General Lim Jong-moo looked at Gyeong-hoon and tilted his head, but Gyeong-hoon pretended not to notice until the end.
*
Two days later, the Allied forces gathered and began advancing toward the Daxing’anling Mountains.
The artillery units gathered in the rear opened fire first.
bang! Quaaaang! Kwagwagwagwagwang! Shuaaaaaa!
The artillery boasted by the four countries spewed fire and missiles flew into the sky.
It was a huge bombardment. It seemed as if the entire mountain range would be set on fire.
The explosion was so loud that even the monster crouching deep in the mountains could hear it.
Deep within the ruins, a huge snake opened its eyes.
Slur.
The monster started moving.
Kyung-hoon didn’t know it, but it was the same type of monster he had seen in Brazil.
Jormungand.
A giant snake that can eat its own species and grow without being polluted.
That snake clan had appeared here in the Daxing’anling Mountains as a monarch-level monster.
