Chapter 43 – Long Day (2)
Beep, beep, beep!
By the time I had barely changed my clothes.
Loud alarms echoed through the city.
A six-headed dragon with stronger magic response than Tiamat.
That’s why I can’t help but cry because my ears are bursting.
I know that a lot of people died during Tiamat, but I’m afraid of how much more this time.
“Anyway, why is it our country?”
“That’s because Korea’s hunter population density is the highest in the world.”
I said to Alice while examining the condition of the dagger made by Green Dust.
He was on the ride so naturally, and thanks to that, Han Ye-jin was very scared.
Korea has long been a world-class country with a population density.
In particular, the population ratio in the metropolitan area is unmatched among countries of the same class.
And a high population density means that the density of hunters is also high.
America, China, Russia, etc. The hunters, who had been rolling hard in a strong but vast country, became naturalized in Korea in search of peace.
Stories about not being able to attend the funeral of parents because they were hunting monsters were all too common.
It was also thanks to that that Korea took the position of a hunter powerhouse.
Besides, I hate to say it…
In Korea, there was Yeriel Frost.
So, it is not unreasonable for powerful monsters to come to Korea.
Of course, that was never nice.
“For now, let’s go in the direction where Yeriel was placed. We will support you if necessary.”
“All right!”
I wonder if Yeriel still needs help, but it’s better than nothing.
However, the situation changed after Kim Jung-tae, who was hiding nearby, was put in the car.
While greeting Alice with a shy face, he heard the Oracle’s voice through his earphones while he was packing up his equipment.
[Master. The progression of the monster wave has been displayed. I referred to satellite data.]
“… Let’s take a look.”
This one is not even fast.
After all, switching to artificial intelligence is not without its benefits.
I hurriedly checked the path of the monsters, pretending I didn’t hear Matthew talking smugly over his earphones.
As soon as I looked at the screen of my smartphone, my moans leaked out.
“What is this… Are you going to hit both sides at the same time?”
[The raid boss is heading to Incheon, where Mr. Yeriel Frost is deployed, but the corps members are not. You split your troops into two.]
“Why are you moving so fast again? If we keep going like this, we’ll reach Seoul before evening.”
[Most of the troops coming from the east are flying type. As a result of checking, the remnants of the Tiamat Legion were also mixed.]
“Notify the Association command center immediately. Anonymously!”
[Already delivered.]
I’m sure he knows how to do his job well.
However, it wouldn’t be much help if the monsters attacked.
After thinking about it, I changed the direction of the car.
“Let’s go to the warehouse! Where we keep our combat equipment.”
“Yes!”
Han Ye-jin drove to the suburbs without hesitation.
As if he became the president’s driver, he speeded up in an instant and even committed traffic violations.
But I couldn’t blame her for that.
Sooner or later the road will be blocked.
Whoops!
The vehicle that managed to get out of the city headed for a warehouse in the suburbs where people were rare.
Even in Korea’s metropolitan area, which boasts the world’s highest population density, empty places are truly empty.
I entered the warehouse without hesitation, greeted by the Servants who had arrived earlier, and packed some more serious equipment.
Alice, who followed me in, looked inside her warehouse and clicked her tongue in amazement.
Of course, this place belongs to the bloodiest axis among company-owned warehouses.
“What, what is this… Is this armored vehicle really rolling?”
“Then it’s fake? Alice, do you know how to use a gun?”
“Huh? Unless it’s something like a sniper rifle or machine gun…”
“Then take this.”
I handed over the magazine full of special green dust bullets and the pistol to Alice.
She seldom accepted it, but she forced it.
“Hey, it’s convenient when you actually use this. The green dust content is different from the one in the office.”
“… Okay?”
In the end, Alice, who was cold at my words, took her gun.
Yeriel already has a wedding ring, so she doesn’t need to get one.
I took off the combat uniform I was wearing under my costume and put on a heavily armored combat uniform integrated with the hood.
Alice did not forget her words this time either.
To be honest, this guy’s reaction is so honest and fast that it’s almost tasteful to watch.
“Did you have anything like that?”
“It’s the first time I’ve ever used it in real combat.”
“When was that made again…”
“It’s not much different from the one in the office. But this side didn’t spare any expense.”
The Master is essential to the existence of the Oracle.
So, in the case of this combat uniform, Matthew designed and produced it himself.
As the creator is the creator, it can also be linked with the oracle.
I took off my combat uniform again and quickly filled my stomach.
It is a product that focuses on performance rather than comfort, so it is not something you want to wear for a long time.
“Alice, where can you go?”
“I think her sister already took it out.”
Alice looked around the calm warehouse and explained.
Esquire Kim Jeong-tae and Han Ye-jin, as well as the Servants, were silently preparing for battle.
‘Honestly, aren’t you a bit envious?’
As I grinned, Alice met her eyes and turned her head away.
Still, let’s pass the time while maintaining a relatively close distance…
Finally she got a call from Oracle.
[The yellow sea defense unit and the monster wave, 10 minutes before the clash.]
“East?”
[Monster Wave break through the shoreline. It is currently in Gangwon-do.]
There is no surprise that the East Coast has been breached.
I wouldn’t even try to stop it there in the first place.
Since most hunters in Korea are concentrated in the metropolitan area, it is quick and convenient to build a defense line near the metropolitan area.
In the first place, since they fly around, it is difficult to stop them from landing.
I commanded as I put myself back into my heavy armored combat uniform.
“Sort out the drone.”
Wow…
Countless propellers rose from under the warehouse.
A military drone equipped with a small caliber cannon.
Alice was now opening her mouth, forgetting even her shame her.
However, breaking news came in before they even left the warehouse.
[Monster wave descending… Has landed.]
“Huh? You didn’t come by flying?”
[It seems that the operation was switched immediately after the engagement with the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun deployed on the front line.]
“Aha. Did you change your mind after seeing a few hits?”
If you think about it, it’s a reasonable choice.
Even if the flying monsters flew in, most of them would infiltrate at a much lower altitude than the current aircraft…
Anyway, it gets hit by anti-aircraft fire and everything falls.
Of course, the damage to the city will increase due to the fall, but from the point of view of the corps, it is meaningless because all the corps members die.
When I heard the news, I immediately corrected the order.
“Stop drone sorties.”
“Huh? What, are you not going to let me go?”
“Anyway, if it’s not an anti-air battle, it won’t even work.”
This is the case with all drones, but even if it is for military use, it is small anyway, so the firepower is very lacking.
If the opponent is an army of monsters on the ground, it is almost a mana thing.
To put it bluntly, their firepower itself is comparable to or worse than that of ordinary infantry.
I asked the Oracle as I finished donning the armored combat uniform.
“Are you going to try it with street fighting?
[That’s right.]
On the other hand, the artillery firepower of the ROK Army is at a perverted level.
I mobilized without hesitation with a roughly anticipated strategy.
“Oracle, you command as you like. Let’s help a little bit as long as our troops aren’t lost.”
[I would appreciate it if you could call me Amy.]
“I don’t like that. It kind of creeps me out honestly. Matthew, let’s change the name to something more human.”
[Is that so?]
Fortunately, Matthew did n’t have the human feeling of wanting to remember his daughter.
Oracle mobilized all of its transcendental computing power and began to think about its own name.
It was already dark, but the night wind was not felt because of the heavy combat uniform.
This is something that suits riding rather than wearing.
[Then, please call me Blanche.]
“It suddenly blows? ‘Pure white’… Do you mean remember that we are in a position to color you?”
[Do you know?]
The oracle is surprised when Alice loses her knowledge for some reason.
To be honest, I didn’t even know he had such an erudition.
Alice nodded very proudly.
“It’s a luxury brand name.”
[Aha!]
“…”
Certainly, if it was that side, there would be nothing strange about it.
Thanks to that, we were able to smile and head towards the battlefield.
In the distance, the noise of battle was already filled with explosions and screams.
Citizens must have already evacuated to the center of the city, so it must be that the hunters are struggling for the first time in a while.
“Yeah, you guys should do some work sometimes. Don’t do bad things all the time.”
“Lee Jae-hyun. Are you really going to be okay?
Alice, who cares about me seriously for some reason.
I still laughed at the thought that he was basic.
“I used to kill hunters all over the world, but would you be this scared?”
“Eh… You were thinking of carrying that on your back, right?”
“Of course I was going to be carried.”
Quaang! Quadduk…
Flames soared in the city, which quickly turned into a battlefield.
I replied, heading to the place the oracle pointed out.
“I didn’t mean to catch you, though.”
Alice followed me with a heavier step than usual.
