Chapter 95 – 11. Tokyo Panic.
+++
Around the time there were various movements in Korea, swift action was taking place not only in Japan but also in the United States.
While designing and moving troops for additional support for Japan, the top guilds and top adventurers in Manhattan were brought together.
“How long have you been there?”
“A total of 32 guild leaders and sub-guild leaders, and 376 strong people who are not affiliated with the guild.”
“…Write it down. It’s a B-class dungeon that appears. I can’t really exert an influence like this.”
At first glance, that number might seem like a lot.
First of all, the fact that there are only 32 people representing the guild means that 32 guilds participated in this operation, so even if you catch 10 people each, there are already 320 people.
In addition, there were 376 strong people who did not belong to the guild, namely, ronin.
The fact that this amount of people came even after being cut to 13,000 or more (applied to the lower value of the defense) means that the Manhattan Dungeon is a famous and powerful group.
But there is a catch here.
The Manhattan Dungeon (Class C) is a dungeon that blew up a quarter of New York, the economic capital of the United States, which has the strongest military on the planet. The level of danger was different from other dungeons, and the dungeon itself was so deep and huge that it was a structure where you had to pitch a tent and camp out.
Unless you’re a fairly strong person, you can’t go hunting alone.
I mean, that number doesn’t mean much. You need to divide it by at least 4 to 8, and if you divide it by the median value of 6, you get about 60 teams.
In addition, the dungeon to be conquered from now on is a B-level dungeon with a higher level than Manhattan. At least two or three teams will be able to play a meaningful role, and considering that their hands and feet will not easily match, and that there is no information or strategy for the dungeons that appear… It’s really a no-brainer.
The United States is like this, but other countries?Haha….
That’s why they asked for help from Korea, which is close to Japan and has an army that is on par with Japan. Fortunately or unfortunately, the Korean army has monstrous firepower that seems to have annihilated everything in its firepower, so it would be perfect for devastating the dungeon and its surroundings.
Then, at this point, someone will ask:
‘No, what about China and Russia? Their firepower is no joke, so why are you taking them out? Distance won’t make much of a difference.’
It’s a natural question.
However….
Japan is a territory of the United States.
Right before the dungeon appeared, China, Russia, and the United States were in a war for supremacy, and it was unimaginable that the other’s army would enter their territory.
For example, didn’t the Japanese branch manager show a fierce reluctance toward the Korean army? If it’s worse than that, it won’t be worse.
Even after the dungeon appeared, nothing changed. The U.S., China and Russia are still fighting a hegemonic war, and the United States was one step ahead due to the emergence of the Dungeon Association and the dollar market of dungeons around the world, but it was not at a safe stage.
Of course… If the power of the B-level dungeon is so strong that the Korean Army + US Army in Japan can’t handle it, then there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s far better than Japan completely collapsing.
“Come in.”
So, when the head of the general headquarters, who had been thinking about various things, went inside, the noisy place became quiet all at once.
This is because no matter how wild an adventurer is, they will give up a hand in front of the head of the headquarters who controls the adventurers of the world and Dungeon City.
Besides, there’s nothing good about standing out in a place like this.
“Hey. Hey~ Every time I see it, that man’s charisma is amazing. Don’t you think so?”
“Don’t talk to me.”
“Hey. Don’t be so mean. You’re hurt.”
“Noisy.”
“Wow. That’s too much.”
Rex grumbled, sticking her mouth out all the way.
Heck, I really don’t like this person at all, except for his pretty face, good body, and good abilities.
‘Yes? You have almost everything. Shit. Wasn’t it because he had everything and had a good personality?’
Seeing his fantastic appearance his, he clings to him like a leech, but his cold personality his and his words and actions his are rude.
‘But, well…This is also quite advanced. Because you tried to kill me before. Hehe. Even on the outside, they seem to be giving it a lot of affection.’
Who said that humans live by hope?
He was just like that now.
Her laughter her bloomed as it fueled her hopes her and her longing her that someday she would surely make this beautiful woman her own her.
‘A disgusting bastard.’
However, contrary to his expectations of her, Lucrecia did not show any favor towards him.
It’s useful now, so I’m just going to keep it alive and let it approach me, and I’m thinking of cutting it off anytime if the necessary value drops.
‘Shall we go to Tokyo and drop it? He’s not even a very strong guy, so just throw him in front of a monster and he’ll die on its own.’
She treats Rex with 14,000 workshops as if she were a beginner.
But she had the skills she deserved.
“Thank you all for gathering here.”
Briefing has begun.
A middle-aged man, the president of the association and general manager, gave a presentation while showing a PPT with a solemn face.
“Those who have already gathered here must have heard the news. In the next few days, a B-class dungeon will appear in Tokyo, Japan.”
Buzz buzz.
The chairman’s turmoil rose rapidly.
Everyone listened to it, but hearing it directly from the chairman gave me a very different feeling.
“The correct place is the ‘Gokyo’ where the Emperor of Japan is located. The least damage expected from this is… The collapse of Tokyo. The maximum damage is the destruction of Japan.”
Buzz buzz.
The commotion grew.
The murmur subsided after the unsatisfactory chairman tapped the microphone a few times.
“As you know, when a dungeon first appears, monsters pour out in all directions while the dungeon takes its perfect shape. Since there is no demonic protection, it can be annihilated by pouring it down with the military’s mighty firepower. Even a B- class has some effect There must be, but…”
After a moment of silence, he continued.
The chairman was very quiet.
“There is no law that it will work forever. Theoretically, dungeons exist up to the SSS level, and even if you count from B, there are four levels left. I do not know.
The army isn’t enough. They are too slow and can’t be moved. However, we adventurers are more of an individual, have great powers, and can even fight in dungeons. So from now on, we adventurers, not the military, must stop it.”
He opened the introduction like that, and started briefing on the current situation in earnest.
“Currently, Tokyo is in a state of emergency, and an emergency evacuation order has been issued throughout Tokyo and the entire Tokyo area. However, it is virtually impossible to evacuate tens of millions of people in a few days. And the U.S. Army in Japan have decided to focus all their efforts on evacuating as many people as possible by mobilizing all military helicopters, military vehicles, and even tanks.
Therefore, the ones attacking the dungeons that appear will be the Korean army, a neighboring country.”
Buzz buzz.
This time there was a small commotion.
Most people nodded their heads and accepted it, but a commotion arose between the Japanese and Koreans.
“There has not been any discussion with the Korean military yet… But it will be done within today, and we are thinking of up to six divisions.”
“Fuzakeruna! (Don’t be funny!)”
A Japanese shouted that, but he continued talking.
“It’s a very tight schedule. South Korea can’t afford to transport six divisions at once, and even if it is possible, we have to think of North Korea. In many ways, there are complex political constraints.
But I’ll make it somehow. That will keep the world as you and I know it.
You only know about the army’s support…Now it’s our adventurer’s job.”
Long time.
There were so many things to say because it was a first-of-its-kind situation, such as the appearance of a B-class dungeon.
“Lastly… There will be Chinese, Koreans, and other nationalities with a bad past with Japan. Please put your emotions aside and fight with all your might for the well-being of mankind.”

“…No.”
“Dismissal!”
Before meeting Yoo Eun, the head of the Korean branch, who met with the president who had contacted him first after hearing that it was urgent, she exclaimed in contemplation at his words of hers.
“This is not just a problem for Japan! If Japan collapses in the current situation… Korea can never be relieved either!”
“Ah. I know. Of course. Don’t you know that? But… Right now we can’t afford to send a large-scale overseas deployment. How much money do you think it costs to send one division? Only the army? Tanks?” How much does it cost? The cost of moving a warship and the cost of moving an air force? All of them are sprayed with expensive oil. Sending them to another country and even moving them in division units. Besides, there will inevitably be casualties in operations, We are not a country that has a military service system. Even though there is no war and no dungeons have appeared in our country, if the enlisted soldiers are sacrificed in large numbers… Uh. I can’t handle that.”
“…”
It’s ridiculous.
Of course, this is not an idle word. However, in the midst of the great crisis of mankind, it is too carefree.
The cost of moving the military in the first place… Of course, Japan will bear that.
“Why don’t you rather do it like this?”
“What…?”
“For South Korea, which is in confrontation with North Korea, to send large-scale troops is to take a great risk not only economically, but also politically and militarily. As the military has withdrawn, a means to contain North Korea is needed. The United States and Japan responded to this If you give in, there’s nothing I can’t do, right?”
“…?”
What are you trying to say?
Of course, you will get paid for it.
“Looks like some of the US troops in Korea are going to Japan… In this situation, it would be too big a deal for North Korea to collude with China.”
“It will never happen! China is crazy—”
“We know that. But do the people know that too?”
“…”
“We have a duty to convince the people, and we need a card to do so.”
“What… Do you want?”
I had a feeling he was going to ask for something out of the ordinary.
And sure enough, the president’s words made goosebumps all over my body.
“Nuke. If you allow that, I will respond.”
