Chapter 510 Changed Situation (2)
Roman Dmitri’s remarks.
It was unconventional.
Even Kim Jun-hyeok, who had sworn allegiance with all his heart, had his eyes shaken like crazy at the situation in front of him.
20 years ago.
The catastrophe first broke out.
Leaders from around the world gathered in one place in a crisis facing humanity, and they spoke of the future, establishing new words such as catastrophe and absolute.
However, the position was not as smooth as expected.
Leaders who are classified as great powers raised their voices at a time when humanity would not be enough even if they joined forces.
“No, why do we have to support so many troops? world peace? great. We, of course, will strive for world peace, but first of all, isn’t the safety of our own country a priority? It’s a matter of order. When a cataclysm strikes and it is determined that our country is safe, then we will mobilize our troops to help other countries.”
“So are we. Soldiers are human too. They would risk their lives for the land they were born in, but they don’t want to die in a country they don’t even know. Troop dispatch is a matter to be discussed only after the safety of the family is guaranteed. My country and my family are dying right now, but what kind of soldier would solve other countries’ problems with morale? The tyranny of a great power? yes that’s right My country looks doomed right now, and it doesn’t matter whether you criticize it or not.”
The meeting room turned upside down.
this day.
It is not a matter of intertwined desires like world wars.
The entire human race is in danger of extinction, and even a country called a great power could perish overnight.
But as a great power, take care of other countries? It was a logic that only worked when there was a future.
Right now they are in danger, but even one soldier could not send troops for another country.
Common sense has collapsed.
The great powers held their ground, and the weak powers had no choice but to follow the trend in order to survive.
at that time.
The people of South Korea were in despair.
He trembled at the hopeless future to come, criticizing the tyranny of the great powers.
however.
Is that really sincere?
Can the choice of a great power be simply dismissed as tyranny?
People’s sincerity was selfish.
If they were included in the category of the great powers, they would not have expressed the choice of the great powers as ‘tyranny’.
‘I was envious of the people of the great powers. The decision of a powerful country to exclude other countries, secure its own safety first, and take care of one’s own family, not someone else’s family. The images of people dying in front of my eyes were too clear to talk about things like justice or humanity. That’s what people really mean. We do not criticize because of the tyranny of the great powers, but because we cannot protect ourselves, we have to criticize. I wanted to be selfish He said he wanted to survive even selfishly.’
Most of the people who make up this world are not heroes.
Because he has priority over others, he did not speak of justice in a situation where the world could really perish.
Nobel Peace Prize?
A leader who speaks of world peace?
A truly harsh leader in turbulent times.
The people under him have to accept the situation in which they are sacrificed for the justice that the leader does.
I’d rather have a dictator. I hoped for the trash people were pointing at.
Even if 99% of the world curses, I wanted a leader who acts selfishly for the sake of the 1% of people who follow him.
It was people’s sincerity.
Someday, reconciliation and peace will be needed, but they did not want them to make the sacrifice.
And now.
Everyone, including Kim Jun-hyeok, felt like their breath stopped.
“Remember. I am Roman Dmitry. Except for this city called Incheon, this land I rule, I will not care about the safety of any place. The world says it’s morally unjust, but I don’t have a sense of justice that looks out for everyone.”
that word.
It’s not something everyone can do.
It was the exclusive property of those with power like a superpower, and such a existence recognized the sincerity that people could not bear to speak out.
He said that he would take care of himself first. I felt a tingling sensation.
Living as a citizen of a small country and living in a province that the central government ignores.
People in this place hoped that a strong leader who would give for them like this would appear even if everyone in the world condemned it.
Is that why?
this moment.
People were fascinated by Roman Dmitri’s strength.
Even though he will be recorded as a wicked person in future history, the people of Incheon accepted him wholeheartedly.
* * *
The situation has been finalized.
Incheon people did not talk to each other, but they showed a determined expression for the future.
Roman Dmitry.
I will give my life for him
We will empower Roman Dmitri to make the future he speaks of come true.
however.
There was a group with a different mindset from the people of Incheon.
They were just 100 days.
“… There is no such thing as a sense of justice that looks out for everyone. Is it true that we follow Incheon?”
“Guild leader. Baekil is a group that seeks justice. Roman Dmitri’s statement that he will not care whether those who do not follow Incheon die or not is different from the justice Baekil has been doing so far. Not this one. I didn’t come to Baekil to take care of my own comfort.”
The backlash was intense.
members of Baekil.
They sincerely sought justice.
Even if they died right now, they were beings who were willing to give their lives for those who were being attacked in front of them.
Minwoo Park said.
“Stupid things.”
“… what is that?”
“Are you sure you don’t know the sincerity of Roman Dmitri? Roman Dmitri said that he was definitely a people who followed ‘himself’. Now it is limited to Incheon, but if Korea or the whole world follows him, he is willing to jump into the pit of fire for the comfort of the people.”
There is an interesting fact about the pendant of karma.
Depending on what people think of you, the color of the pendant has changed a little more vividly.
That is to say.
Roman Dmitri, whom he follows, must not be a villain.
Only by wrapping all his words and actions with justice will he be able to maintain his 100 days and resolve the karma of his previous lives.
Park Min-woo shouted with a fierce voice.
“This country is rotten. The reason Roman Dmitri has been adamant about drawing the line with the central government is that only then can there be a clear chain of command in this chaotic world. The chain of command is now split between the central government and local government. In the future, if people who follow Roman Dmitri form a force, we will be able to drive out the central government and create a safe Republic of Korea. I will ask you. Is a central government that only cares about its own safety a justice? Or is Roman Dmitri, who is willing to think about the future of Korea even with blood on his hands, justice? Do not think that justice is an unconditional sacrifice. Roman Dmitri made a decision for a better future.”
I didn’t even know what I was talking about.
He spat out the words that were forming in his head without hesitation.
“What on earth have I done in all these years of being called the white-clad wizard? At best, to the extent of saving the visible people, Roman Dmitri’s justice is to create a better future by punishing the wicked. I was fascinated by his justice. That’s why I don’t want to be clean forever for the future of Korea. If the world gets peace at the cost of my being dirty, I will gladly accept reality.”
He clenched his fists tightly.
The 100 Day Wizards were speechless.
“… Guild leader.”
“also.”
their moving eyes.
years in the past.
Thanks to the trust that has been built up layer by layer, no matter what bullshit they say, the 100 Day Wizards see Park Min-woo as justice.
that day.
Baekil’s faith has become stronger.
* * *
Two days of red time tea.
A city that had been peaceful even on the first day was devastated by a sudden attack that started at dawn.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwak!
“Cheak!”
“evil!”
over the sea.
A tsunami rolled in.
A tsunami measuring dozens of meters swept away the city at once, and the people who were preparing for the monsters’ attack were swept away by the sea in an instant.
It was just the beginning. People who tried to escape the tsunami were torn to pieces by the feet of a giant octopus protruding from the sea.
“Cheak!”
“It’s the Kraken!”
Kraken.
It was an A-class marine monster.
Krakens appeared everywhere and attacked people, and similar marine monsters appeared one after another.
above the sea.
A monster wave was created.
A wave of mana created a tsunami, and monsters rushed in through the seawater through the distortion of the dimension.
It was the worst situation for Busan located by the sea.
Busan was a city equipped with military power in its own way, but there was no way to prevent an attack like a natural disaster.
“… damn it.”
Commander of Busan.
Cha Young-min looked across the sea with a despairing expression.
It was dangerous.
At this rate, it would have been an instant for Busan to collapse.
“Everyone retreat! We will give up the maritime defense line and fight to the death in the final line of defense. Everyone retreat!”
“Retreat!”
Whale whale shouted.
people ran away
Those who could not escape were swept away by the tsunami or screamed at being attacked by monsters.
Even as Cha Young-min quickly ran away, he kept checking his back.
He felt his heart burn black as he saw the sight of the city being horribly crumbling and the people dying helplessly.
‘Is this the end?’
Maybe.
The good fortune of Busan, which had somehow been maintained, is now at an end.
* * *
Conference room.
The behavior of the leaders was devastating.
Like Cha Young-min, who led the troops on the battlefield, they did not say anything with stunned faces.
Just now.
30% of troops lost.
The opponent was a monster wave with no end in sight, so the chances of Busan actually surviving were very slim.
A senior official said.
“It is over now. Currently, Busan’s power cannot withstand the monster wave, and the central government, as always, has stated that it cannot help until Seoul’s security is secured. It is not a reality that will change if we endure for a few more days. Even if the red time is over, the central government will gradually organize things from the vicinity of Seoul, and by then it will be after Busan has already been swept away by the monster wave.”
“We have to abandon Busan. There is no hope here.”
Also Cha Young-min.
I knew the truth.
Busan has no strength to hold on, but that doesn’t mean I can’t leave here.
“… Does leaving Busan give us another hope? We are not defending Busan with a special sense of duty. I was born and raised in Busan, but I had to fend for myself here in Busan because Seoul didn’t accept our existence. we are outcasts For those of us who cannot leave Busan, the fate of Busan is directly related to our lives.”
It was a grim reality.
Everyone bowed their heads at Cha Young-min’s words.
abandoned people.
This is an accurate expression.
There was a limit to the number of people Seoul could accept, so there was no choice but to create a local government like Busan.
Cha Young-min, mayor of Busan.
In fact, he was not originally the mayor.
The person who was originally the mayor died right away, and the only one who was recognized for his fighting ability took over.
It was then.
“… Have you heard rumors about Incheon?”
“Incheon?”
It was one head.
He, who had been silent throughout the meeting, looked at Cha Young-min and spoke cautiously.
“yes. I’m not sure if this is true either, but I heard shocking news from a friend of mine. A monster wave, blood rain, and S-class monsters appeared in Incheon at the same time, and a person named Roman Dmitri led Incheon and solved all the problems.”
“It’s only two days of red time. By the way, did you solve the monster wave?”
“So I doubted too. It’s obvious that it doesn’t make sense, but even though he usually brags a lot, he’s not a friend who talks empty words. The friend said that Roman Dmitri was a really great person. He said that no monster can withstand a blow, and that the future of this Republic of Korea will be completely reversed due to the Incheon government. Mayor. How about asking Incheon for help? If we are driven to the edge of a precipice anyway, we must protect Busan even if we follow Incheon rather than the central government ignoring us. You’re not giving up like this, are you?”
words of the chief.
I couldn’t believe it.
To think that Incheon solved all the problems.
However, Cha Young-min, who was driven to the edge of a cliff, had to grab at least a straw to survive.
Cha Young-min asked.
“Where does the information come from?”
being a friend.
I needed to decide if I could trust him.
The leader said confidently.
“Jang Yoon-tae, from Baekil, has been close friends with me since childhood. Don’t you know well what kind of group Baekil is.”
It wasn’t ignorant confidence.
hundred days.
That one word would suffice.
