The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 138

Episode 138 The AI is a bit…

The high-ranking shaman looked anxiously at the fortress walls.

There must be a fierce battle going on inside.

A fortress where something that exceeds the shamans’ expectations may be lurking.

That is why he suggested a retreat.

‘If it’s Hara-Bal, one of the tribe’s leading warriors. ‘Maybe…’

I couldn’t let go of that thought.

I was watching the fortress from afar like this.

but.

That thought didn’t last long.

Pick.

-….

The shaman felt the spark of one life go out.

A great warrior who broke through the limitations of his race and was born again, where it is difficult for strong men to emerge.

The flame of one of them has now gone out.

-What a disaster…

After the tribal invasion war resumed.

The first large-scale battle.

Winning or losing in this battle was very important, so he brought a large number of troops.

The result is.

-Tell this to the warriors.

Commander’s death.

and.

-There is no way to attack that fortress, so retreat as safely as possible.

It was a defeat for the tribe.

* * *

My resolution, which was quite solemn, was in vain.

The process of dealing with other monsters was relatively easy.

“what?”

“I feel like I’ve lost some momentum compared to before.”

These were monsters that attacked without any problem even after receiving serious injuries.

The momentum at that time was everywhere.

They lack the tactics used to connect with the shamans and seem strangely confused.

-Ha Harabal…!

“?”

Meanwhile, some monsters were looking behind me and muttering.

A monster writhing with half of its flesh falling off.

‘Now that I think about it, that guy. It said [Green Mane Chieftain].’

Although I couldn’t understand everything the monsters were muttering.

I could understand at least one word.

Harabal.

[Commander]

[Green Mane Tribe War Chieftain Hara-Bal VS Steel Corps Commander Lieutenant Kim Hyun-seok]

“Crazy. Was it the commander?”

For some reason, it’s really strong!

Looking at the atmosphere, it seemed like he was no ordinary commander.

It seemed like he had quite a big standing among these monsters.

I could feel every monster becoming agitated upon seeing its corpse.

‘Why did the commander himself… um. Was it worth it to come in person?’

If you think about it.

In order for them to succeed in this attack, it was essential to pound the inside of the fortress.

An operation so important that it would not be strange for the commander to personally participate.

In fact, if it weren’t for him, our unit would have easily defeated the enemies.

Because of this guy, there was a crisis in which Gwangil collapsed.

‘I’m glad I was able to handle it somehow while slitting the back of my head.’

If only I was a little late in coming forward.

It is highly likely that soldiers active in other places were also disposed of one by one by him.

Because he is the guy who defeated even the strongest Gwangil.

But that’s just the case when it’s too late to deal with him.

Thanks to quickly killing their commander, the enemy was confused and lost momentum.

at last.

“This guy is the last!”

“Cut it out!”

Monsters entered the fortress via catapult.

We were able to annihilate them all.

‘It’s still too early to let down your guard.’

Outside the fortress walls.

The castle gate is blocked and you can’t get inside, but there are still many monsters left.

Huge numbers.

There was nothing strange about trying to break through the fortress’s defenses using any kind of force.

Of course, I have no intention of losing if it comes out like that.

‘Because I still have some left.’

Of course, the black cat resting in my arms.

I don’t want to bring it up in front of people if possible.

Even vampires that haven’t been mobilized yet.

Depending on their next move, I too will have to bring out my hidden moves.

To that end, I was trying to monitor the enemy’s movements.

“They are leaving!”

“uh?”

Contrary to my thoughts that they would try to attack the fortress somehow.

The enemies began to retreat little by little.

‘already?’

These guys still have a lot of troops left.

I think it’s a little early to confirm defeat.

There is one reason I can guess.

“Is it because we lost our commander?”

If you want to break through somehow, you might be able to find a way to break through.

They have already lost their commander.

There is no way proper command can take place.

In this situation, even if we somehow manage to attack our fortress, the damage on the other side would be significant.

They must have decided that there was no need to continue the battle even while taking such heavy damage.

and.

It seems like he wants to confirm my thoughts.

Tiring.

[The occupation war has ended!]

[Battle forces]

[Greenmane tribe VS Steel Legion]

[Commander]

[Greenmane tribe War Chieftain Hara-Bal VS Steel Legion commander Lieutenant Kim Hyun-seok]

[Battle area]

[Metropolitan city (3)]

[Engagement Result]

[Victory of the Iron Legion]

[The first occupation battle was won!]

[Despite the overwhelming difference in troops, a one-sided victory was achieved.]

[Rewards are paid as a bonus for winning the first occupation battle.]

[Group Skill – War Song]

[Acquire experience.]

[Acquire points.]

A message announcing that the war has ended.

and.

[The level increases.]

[Intermediate Chef Lv.30]

“…Oh.”

It was a message announcing level up.

* * *

Enemies giving up the battle and retreating.

of course.

I had no intention of just letting it go.

“Chase!”

“Screw you!!!”

This battle was fought against enemies that were overwhelmingly greater than us.

We were able to win because we had a fortress nearby.

If it was a field battle, it wouldn’t be surprising if we lost without being able to do anything.

but.

Even with that many troops, there are moments when the defense becomes vulnerable.

When to retreat.

[Acquire experience points.]

[Acquire experience points.]

We relentlessly pursued and harassed the retreating enemy troops.

Only after inflicting as much damage as possible to the point where I thought I would face a counterattack if I chased everyone down did I return to the fortress.

So let’s return to the fortress.

[Shaman: That’s amazing… It’s really amazing.]

Taejun sent me a guild message.

Is it because he pursued until the end and caused damage?

Even though he wasn’t talking directly, I could feel that he was quite excited.

[Shaman: The damage they suffered is truly enormous. … How on earth did this result?]

[Chef: That much?]

[Shaman: That much? It will be more than you can imagine!]

Taejun is stuck in the mountain and can’t come down.

Until recently, they couldn’t even see our actions because they were waging an information war with the other side.

[Shaman: They probably didn’t even think they would lose. … To be honest, so did I.] I don’t

think I even realized how much our unit had grown during that time.

but.

It’s too early to like it.

They said they somehow managed to repel it this time.

They retreated faster than I thought.

‘They probably retreated as soon as they found out that the Chieftain was dead.’

I somehow managed to stop it this time.

There is no guarantee that we will win next time.

[Shaman: That’s true. It will be difficult for them to attack again anytime soon.]

[Chef: Hmm?]

I thought they would attack again soon.

Taejun seemed to think a little differently.

[Shaman: It is true that there are many of them, but there are probably not many individuals who can command that army.]

Ah.

Certainly, among those monsters, there were few particularly strong ones.

Most of them were monsters of similar level.

Like the commander I defeated this time.

Could it be that he was a more important force to the enemies than they thought?

[Shaman: Since this attack failed, you will need a better commander to attack with the same power… There may not be any better than the one you defeated, or there may be one or two among them.] [Chef: Dirty river

. I did.]

[Shaman: Since it is difficult to deploy a better commander, I will judge that several times more power is needed to attack you again. Until then, it will be difficult to attempt to conquer the fortress like now. I think the limit is to send a small unit to harass them at best.] This

means that a large-scale offensive like this one will not happen for a while.

‘It seems the aftermath of this battle was bigger than I thought.’

on the other way.

If we had been defeated or retreated this time, that guy would have swept through this area.

A fortress or a mercenary soldier.

It’s not enough to pour out all the perks I’ve been saving up for.

Thanks to the mobilization of ‘spiritual power’, the disaster was prevented.

“It means that the enemies have no choice but to hesitate because of this damage.”

“what. That won’t last long either. In the end, there is no change in the fact that their main base is in the west.”

“Okay.”

“To fundamentally resolve the situation. “We have to subdue them.”

Let Minjae say that.

One of the soldiers said with a cheerful smile.

“no way. “Is there anything wrong with that?”

“…huh?”

“I don’t think it would be difficult if we had those pieces of metal.”

In those words.

The troops’ gaze turned outward.

Soldiers patrolling the walls of the fortress.

“That’s right. “There were those.”

“Honestly, I think they’re stronger than me.”

The appearance of [Yeolhwa Yongahyeong] was visible.

“Those guys. According to what Sergeant Shin said, doesn’t the number increase by one every few hours?”

“For now, yes. “The barracks’ level is still low, so the maximum is 200.”

“There are 200 guys like that. At that point, it’s the main base of monsters and all…!”

hmm.

The soldiers only saw the mercenaries in action.

They seem to be mistaken for some type of all-weather invincible weapon.

“Ah, that might be a bit difficult.”

“yes?”

You’ll know once you see it.

I shouted as I saw a dragon soldier wandering nearby.

“There’s one! Iricom.”

-…

It seems like it recognized my command.

A dragon soldier creaks ahead of us.

“Oh oh…!”

“It’s even more bizarre when you look at it up close.”

A knight fully clad in black steel armor.

It would be even better if they put a corps mark or something like that on the chest later.

but.

It’s cool, but that’s it.

I gave a different command this time to the dragon soldier in front of me.

“sit down.”

-….

I gave the order.

Yong Ah-byeong just stood still without any reaction.

Some soldiers looked dumbfounded at that sight.

“Sergeant Shin….”

“That’s too much. “He’s not some kind of dog. He says, ‘Sit.’”

I ignored the soldiers’ reactions and continued with the next order.

“hand.”

-….

“Sleep backwards.”

-….

“Sleep forward.”

-…

I tried issuing several commands over and over again.

Yong A-byeong shows no reaction.

“…Did you see it?”

“What?’

Some soldiers looked at him blankly, as if asking what he was doing.

The sharp-witted soldiers frowned as the orders were repeated.

One of them, Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk, said.

“It can only carry out limited orders. Is this it?”

“That’s right.”

These guys.

I understand commands such as come, go, attack, and defend to a certain extent.

I don’t understand any other commands.

NPCs that can be hired in some games came to mind.

Orders such as where to go and attack, etc. are carried out with flying colors.

Other than that, most NPCs are unable to understand simple commands.

“Actually, the battle is similar. “The attack is fast and the defense is excellent. I would say it’s improvisation, but I don’t have the sense to lead the battle.”

“Ah….”

“The physical specs themselves may be similar to Gwangil without the buff, but if they actually fight, Gwangil will win in nine cases out of ten.”

The situations in which these guys can perform to their full potential are limited.

For example, blocking that gate.

There are almost no variables in a battle fought in a narrow space.

Therefore, the performance of the mercenary soldiers was fully demonstrated.

“It’s fatal when we go on the offensive.”

“…It is essential for the attacker to actively judge the situation.”

actually.

This was also stated in the description.

[Deteriorated Dragon Soldiers]

[The Dragon Soldiers, made from the teeth of powerful dragons, are the best guardians with a power so powerful that the dragons can trust them to entrust their warehouses.] [There is something about them as they are soldiers born to protect the treasure trove

. Boasts high efficiency in battles to defend.]

‘A guardian specialized in defense.’

As these words say.

They are more of a defensive force that is not very suitable for attack.

To sum it up in one word.

These guys.

“AI is a bitch.”

The soldiers looked at the dragon soldiers with strange eyes.

The eyes that were looking at the cool article from before were everywhere…

“…”

It was like looking at scrap metal.

* * *

And so the aftermath of the battle progressed.

By the time that was somewhat finished.

I am.

I visited a room in the dormitory.

Let’s knock on the door and wait a moment.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah, Sergeant Shin…”

He was trembling in the room.

Corporal Jeon Gwang-il opened the door and came out.

“If you don’t have anything else to do, let’s have a meeting.”

It’s been a while.

I guess I should try to do something worthy of a corps commander.
