The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 210
Episode 210: Multi.
Shaman of the Green Mane tribe.
After getting all the necessary information from Borgin.
“…Well, that’s how it happened.”
I shared the information I got from him with the commander-level soldiers.
Among them, the most important is information about demonic contractors.
And…
“This is that egg.”
Shaman Borjin.
The one he was pampering as he walked up to the invisibility spell.
[Primitive Orc Fluid]
It was a large egg.
“What are those eggs?”
“hmm. To put it simply, I think they were trying to criticize multiplayer.”
“Multiple?”
“Uh, what is that?”
Multi.
This is a term often used in strategy games.
Such strategy games themselves have been popular for quite some time.
‘Soo-hyuk and Gwang-il don’t seem like they would play games.’
I think a soldier who doesn’t know the game well might not know.
‘A word meaning a new ‘expansion base’ created outside of the main base.’
There are several reasons for building the expansion base.
One is to obtain additional resources there.
In our case, it would be the case that we left Inje-gun and established a base in Chuncheon.
And another case.
‘When the main camp was destroyed.’
This is when a new base becomes unavoidable.
“Because the tribe was about to be destroyed, they wanted to make a new start in a new land.”
The crisis of destruction that came to the tribe.
To prevent the extinction of the species.
Borgin escaped the tribe’s territory with the egg.
‘A pure Orc uncontaminated by the power of the devil.’
At the time of the contract with the devil.
When I found out that I could increase the abilities of my tribe members with the power of the devil.
It is said that the warchief at the time gave separate orders to Borjin.
‘The most talented children born to the Warchief.’
At least those kids.
Please seal it separately so that it cannot be affected by any external force.
And one day, when the tribe was on the verge of extinction.
An attempt was made to create a new beginning through those children.
When the crisis actually comes.
Borgin faithfully tried to carry out the order.
After raising those children somewhere safe.
They said they were aiming for a new beginning for the Orcs based on those children.
The problem is….
“While I was trying to escape, I got caught by Changsu’s group.”
“He’s a very unlucky guy.”
Borjin seems to be a fairly capable shaman.
What if you leave the tribe and pursue individual activities alone?
Because it’s not that much of a threat.
‘On the contrary, it seems absurd from that guy’s perspective.’
Even though it was on the outskirts, it was still the territory of the Green Mane tribe.
Because I was suddenly attacked in a place like that.
“Indeed… that’s what happened.”
After hearing all the circumstances.
It was Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk who nodded and stood up.
“Then…”
“Huh?”
I wondered why he suddenly woke up.
Crash.
A guy holding a gun and pointing it at Al.
“For now, I’ll just dispose of this.”
“Now wait!”
This guy aims his gun at the eggs without any hesitation.
I quickly reached out my hand and lowered the muzzle.
“…?”
“Why are you doing this, Sergeant Shin?”
OK.
The soldiers looked at me as if they were puzzled.
“Are you not disposing of it?”
Especially among them.
Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk, who was held at gunpoint, asked that with an expression of incomprehension.
“…Just wait for now.”
“Wait… That shaman, I have more information to dig up, so even if I let him live.”
The guy looks at Borgin with a disdainful expression for a moment.
“There’s nothing to gain information from these eggs, right?”
“That’s true.”
“Then isn’t there any good in keeping them alive? “If we succeed in escaping, we will end up having to allow another hostile force to grow elsewhere.”
Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk speaks quite calmly and clearly.
In fact, this guy always had a cold approach.
the problem is.
“That’s right.”
“Youngjun? “What are you thinking?”
Other leaders, of course.
Even Minjae had the same opinion as Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk.
‘…Well, after all, it’s the child of a monster.’
From the perspective of most soldiers, killing them is a natural thing.
Although it is very rare, there are exceptions.
“I’m a little reluctant to kill an unborn child.”
“Yes?”
“No… this is a monster.”
“Yes, but.”
Corporal Jeon Gwang-il speaks while scratching his head.
“That Green Mane tribe is our enemy. I think it’s right to deal with that shaman since he also enslaved humans. But…”
“Do you think it’s a bit much to deal with a child who hasn’t done anything?”
“Well, it’s a little uncomfortable.”
In those words.
Minjae frowned and opened his mouth.
“That’s crazy.”
Quite harsh tone of voice.
The face was pulsing with electricity typical of angry PiXchu.
“Are you willing to risk the Legion just because it’s unpleasant?”
“no. “I didn’t mean it that way.”
Looking at that.
I thought to myself.
‘Not long ago, the gentleman who asked me to do something that could cause damage to the corps…’
It’s new, though.
I also think that there should be no mistake.
Minjae hyung also has an emotional side.
Basically, he is a rational human being.
‘In most cases, Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk and Min-jae supported the same conclusion.’
nevertheless.
There were two reasons why he proposed a radio broadcast last time.
‘One thing is… Minjae knows the effectiveness of my cooking.’
Not all other unit members are emotionless psychopaths.
All unit members are equally concerned about what happens to other humans.
There is no answer to worrying about this.
I was calming that anxiety through my cooking.
but.
Minjae knows the effectiveness of my cooking.
Because of this, the effect of cooking is bound to be slightly less effective.
With me.
I was the only member of the unit who could not properly take care of my mental health through cooking.
I am in a position where I cannot stop worrying about my surroundings, much more than others.
That’s why I proposed a radio broadcast for people.
and.
Actually, this is the main one.
The second reason is.
‘Because radio transmission… was done for humans.’
They say they are going to broadcast information about monsters by broadcasting on the radio.
It is extremely unlikely that monsters will hear and use that information.
They say some of those listening to the radio could be potential enemies.
Because they are all human too.
On the other hand.
‘Leaving this egg behind is beneficial to the monster.’
Other soldiers also think that they should be disposed of.
There is nothing strange about it.
-…I’m jealous.
“huh?”
like that.
I was watching the leaders talking.
Bound in chains.
The monster was staring blankly at that sight.
Borgin opened his mouth.
“I’m jealous. what.”
The moment the effect of [Honesty] ended, the guy who had kept his mouth shut suddenly said something.
I was curious about what he was talking about.
I glanced sideways at him and asked.
-…I envy the fact that I am in a position to decide something.
“huh?”
-You guys… are in a position to decide how to treat me and those children. You guys can even choose between killing and saving… I can’t help but envy you.
“Why is that something to be so envious of?”
-…Because we were so close to destruction that we didn’t even have the right to choose.
“….”
These are the words of those who lost the fight.
That’s it.
The most basic things about life.
A position in which one cannot even choose life or death on one’s own.
It didn’t sound like someone else’s story.
Us too.
If you mess up once, you could end up in the same situation as those guys.
However…
“I did not have the right to choose.”
Among the things he said.
I couldn’t help but cringe a little at this part.
“It’s not like you didn’t have a choice at all, right?”
-what are you talking about.
Let me answer lightly.
The monster looked at me as if his pride was hurt.
“…Sergeant Shin?”
“What are you talking about with that guy?”
The leaders’ perspectives too.
I felt it heading towards me.
“why. “I heard that when monsters appeared in your world, there was a way other than making a contract with the devil?”
-…I would have said it, but it was all unrealistic methods! Even if it is said that it drove the tribe to destruction… That was the only option we had at that time…!
Arranged a contract with the devil.
It’s none other than this guy.
That’s why I feel like I have some feelings of guilt.
nevertheless.
At that time, he seemed to think there was no other option but a contract with the devil.
“I don’t know.”
but.
My thoughts were a little different.
How did these guys become extinct?
According to what I roughly heard.
‘There was no chance.’
There was definitely a choice.
These guys just didn’t consider it an option.
[How about forming an alliance with other races?]
What the warchief said.
Although he is said to be dead now.
If you think about it again.
I feel really fortunate.
‘If he were alive, he would have been a huge threat to the Legion.’
It’s not just that he’s stronger than someone like a great shaman or a great warrior.
That judgment.
That’s probably why he was able to lead a huge tribe.
“First of all, as I explained earlier.”
so that.
I looked at the soldiers and opened my mouth.
“These guys are the ones who ran away to our world when their world was destroyed.”
“I heard that.”
“Why are you suddenly saying that, Youngjun?”
“So to put it the other way around.”
experiencing destruction.
Those who have been defeated.
From our perspective, we are currently experiencing destruction.
“These bastards who have already failed miserably are excellent teachers who should never be imitated.”
-…Are you planning to insult us!
Did he think my words were an insult?
Borjin is glaring at me in anger.
okay.
This is where such an outstanding teacher is in front of you.
If you don’t learn anything there.
I wouldn’t be able to survive for long in a world like this.
“As you all know, this shaman is a man who treats humans as slaves.”
“….”
“It’s not that I don’t feel like killing him right away, too.”
No, to be honest.
It would be fair to say that I have a constant urge to kill him right away.
‘I don’t like these guys from the Green Mane tribe for many reasons.’
Of course, they were hostile to us.
They even used humans as slaves.
The history they have walked in their world is also…
from my perspective.
It was just extremely unpleasant content.
“but.”
That’s all.
If only to survive in a world like today.
No matter how much you don’t like it.
You just have to grit your teeth and do it.
“The children inside those eggs.”
Just before.
Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk points to the egg he was about to explode.
“You haven’t even been born, so you haven’t done anything yet.”
“…Shin Youngjun!”
Minjae seemed to understand what I was trying to say.
I looked at him with my eyes wide open.
“You crazy bastard… no way!”
Compared to other soldiers.
The reason why Minjae was able to sense my intentions more quickly.
Probably one.
‘Because Minjae knows about vampires.’
Already under me.
About monsters.
‘Sacrificing the lives of the tribe members so lightly… I really didn’t like that kind of thing.’
This is what the Green Mane tribe did.
Only one.
There was something I liked.
The last warchief.
Order given to Borgin.
“Let’s all think the opposite way.”
“yes?”
“This guy was trying to build a multi-family in a new land and start anew using that egg.”
Send workers somehow while the main camp is ruined.
The act of building a new multi.
actually.
This is also considered bad manners in strategy games.
Unable to accept defeat easily.
An ugly and servile display of resistance until the very end.
Because it wasn’t very nice to look at.
but.
This is just the case in strategy games.
‘From what I’ve seen, I quite like it.’
To somehow survive.
Regardless of means or methods.
The will to struggle like a dog until the last moment.
Sigh.
“Then the multi.”
The qualifications to join our unit…
were sufficiently met.
“Can’t we eat it?”
“…Yes?”
To just throw it away.
It’s a bit of a waste, isn’t it?
