The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 310
Episode 310 Advice
Kwaaaaang…!
A sudden explosion sounds and tremendous heat turns the ground.
OK.
“Fire support complete!”
“The entrance has been opened! Everyone move forward!”
To a place where that intense heat remains.
Soldiers in military uniform jump in without fear.
“Ugh… there are too many monsters!”
“Just drill it! Any firepower you lack will be supported from the rear!”
A place in Gangwon-do.
There was an extremely fierce battle going on there that had not been seen for some time.
“Whoops…!”
“Corporal Seong!”
“I’m done, so keep going…!”
He has accumulated tremendous strength through numerous battles.
The strongest guild in Gangwon-do, both in name and reality.
Steel Legion.
and.
Even though the opponent poured their troops into an all-out war.
It was a powerful enemy that could not avoid a struggle.
“Legion’s…”
But in the end.
The winner is….
“For the victory!!!”
It was the Steel Legion side.
In the middle of enemy territory.
Soldiers planting a flag depicting a steel-scaled lizard.
“…For the victory of the legion.”
Let’s all shout loudly when we win.
Some soldiers scratched their heads in embarrassment and said,
“It feels a bit weird to say that here.”
“haha. “That too.”
Their gaze.
They headed towards the large stone near the facility where the flag was planted.
[18 Legion]
[Legion Headquarters]
This is it.
Gangwon-do, the forefront of Korea.
Even there, they protect the northernmost part, which is closest to the front line.
Accordingly, the old Korean corps boasted the highest level of troops among all corps.
It was the headquarters of the 18th Corps.
* * *
A large fire is lit.
Numerous dog tags were placed politely in front of him.
“Lieutenant General Jang Hyung-cheol… Colonel Seo In-jun….”
In front of him.
Awakening people, who were said to have been religious people in the past, came out and read the names written on their dog tags.
A funeral was being held for them.
Something I always did when I recaptured a military base.
While watching the soldiers’ funeral, some soldiers muttered in low voices.
“It’s the corps headquarters…”
“I never thought it would be a place that could really be occupied…”
Actually.
The corps headquarters was not that large in scale as a single unit.
But the symbolism and.
Is this because the position plays a major role in being able to organically communicate with other military units?
The monsters that were occupying this place.
It was so powerful that even the army’s power could not easily deal with it.
I think it’s too dangerous.
It was a place where subjugation had been postponed until now.
“I never thought I would succeed in the end.”
“…okay. “All of this too.”
Their eyes
were focused on one place.
“Thanks to those people.”
The people standing there.
A legion that accepts only the strong among the awakened.
They are considered the elite of the elite.
“With the corps commander….”
Everything that could lead to victory in this battle.
A genius with meticulous strategy that is unbecoming of his young age.
This was thanks to the strategy put forward by Corps Commander Shin Young-jun.
“Even the captains.”
And what made it possible to carry out that operation.
Except for Sergeant Lee Min-jae, who remains to defend the main base.
It was thanks to the four commanders directly under him.
And now.
They stand at the very front of where the funeral is being held.
I was watching the funeral.
“Whoa…!”
Ttuduk!
One of them.
Corporal Jeon Gwang-il said as he adjusted a joint that had been twisted in battle.
“Soohyuk.”
“what?”
“I reached level 30.”
A large warrior who lightly tells surprising stories.
What’s even more surprising is.
“…I thought that might be the case. “Me too.”
“what?”
The man with the sniper rifle who was listening to that also.
The same thing happened when I reached level 30.
[Invincible Berserker]
[Cold-Blooded Marksman]
[Lv.30]
Corporal Jeon Gwang-il muttered as if he was dumbfounded after hearing those words.
“I guess I have more experience than you…?”
“I guess that means this battle was difficult. “I received this much experience as a reward.”
The wall at level 30 was high.
It had been a long time since both soldiers reached level 29, but level 30 seemed far away.
Fortunately, Sergeant Lee Min-jae had an advantage over others due to his leveling advantage through wide-area battles.
I was just able to reach level 30 a little faster.
…The other one, who had already reached level 30, was treated as out of the question in the first place.
“With this… Is there only 4 awakened people of level 30 or higher belonging to the Legion?”
“I don’t know how great it is because I have nothing to compare it to.”
Another leader, Lee Sang-ah, also reached level 29 in the process of clearing [Underground Mine].
In addition, I have accumulated considerable experience.
Sergeant Park Tae-jun also began to intervene in the unit’s operations in earnest through [Astronomy] and began explosive leveling.
Sooner or later, all captains may reach level 30.
The emotion for them was endless.
“So what traits or skills did you gain? In my case…”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
Corporal Jeon Gwang-il commemorates this event.
I wanted to talk a little more.
“It looks like the funeral is slowly coming to an end, so I think I should go first.”
“what?”
“I’m sorry, but I won’t leave the cleaning up here to you.”
Actually, one of those parties.
Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk stood up and said that.
“Where are you going? “Even if you leave the cleaning up to me, you would still be very tired, so wouldn’t it be better to get some rest?”
“I still took too much time to come here.”
If it’s the past.
Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk must have thought that even a funeral like this was meaningless.
This time, there was at least some left for the funeral.
The identity of the legionnaires is unified by the keyword soldier.
This time, I went a bit overboard and attempted to recapture the corps headquarters.
Because it was because of that identity.
As a soldier.
Rightfully reclaiming the military base that was illegally occupied by monsters.
Other soldiers who must have passed away miserably…
to collect the bodies of their comrades.
“Originally, I was planning to go right away as soon as the battle was over, but I ended up staying just to see the funeral.”
Unlike before.
Current Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk understood the meaning of this incident.
I don’t know if it’s any other part.
Because it concerns comrades in arms.
Each of these actions is a reminder to the corps members that the corps never takes its comrades lightly.
Because I now understand clearly.
“Did you forget? “Right now, I have a regular job.”
“…ah!”
Originally, it would have been better to stay here until the end.
Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk had a reason not to do so.
“Then there’s nothing we can do. bye.”
“hmm. “Take care of everything afterward.”
Going back to work.
Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk thought.
‘Is this level 30?…’
The moment you reach level 30.
Occupations that were unified before begin to differentiate according to the characteristics of the awakened person.
The abilities gained through this were more unconventional than those gained when reaching level 20.
‘…In the early days of Doomsday, I tried to desert whenever I got the chance.’
What would have happened if I had deserted at that time?
That’s what I thought after becoming stronger under the Legion.
“Corporal Seo, have you returned?”
“hmm. “Nothing happened, right?”
The place he returned to.
It was a surveillance post built for a very special purpose.
The horse was a surveillance post.
There is only one person working in a ‘surveillance’ role here, Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk.
The remaining soldiers are merely personnel to manage the guard post.
It was a very misshapen guard post.
Before going up to the top of the guard post.
Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk turned around and looked into the distance.
‘When will that disappear?’
visible in the distance.
A ridiculously huge black barrier.
and.
He turned his head again and took steps in a direction away from the barrier.
I put myself on top of that guard post.
OK.
hook!
do.
A huge wall that had been blocking his view just a moment ago.
The black barrier disappeared.
‘It’s always weird when I look at it. It feels like a bug in the game….’
This is where this surveillance post was created.
This was the point where the black barrier became invisible.
Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk climbed up to the guard post.
Beyond the Wall, as always.
We observed the situation in Gyeonggi-do.
‘Nothing special will happen today either.’
Although we are observing every day.
So far, I can only see the corps leader vampires struggling to settle down nearby.
Nothing special happened.
Still, as the level goes up, the abilities become even better.
You will be able to observe further away.
When I looked beyond the barrier with such anticipation…
“…Huh?”
A man whose emotions rarely changed except for matters related to his comrades.
Corporal Seo Soo-hyuk’s eyes opened wide.
“…Soldiers below!”
“Yes yes!? “Why are you doing this!”
“Main base… communicate with the vimana! “Bring the radio!”
In a very urgent manner.
Sergeant Lee Min-jae found a radio whose communication function had been restored.
“ASAP!”
Vampires settled on the other side of the Wall.
they.
Because I could see writing on the floor.
* * *
‘The contents of the radio sent by the Corps are updated every Wednesday.’
It is common to listen to this radio in each branch.
This time the southern branch was late.
Additionally, due to the high volume of transactions, trade was delayed by an additional day.
this place.
The radio started playing when people from each branch gathered at the central branch.
I can’t listen to the radio on the way back.
Hear new information here.
There was talk of exchanging opinions on any new information.
[We are… a legion…]
Just like that.
When the radio started.
Beomseok Jo was lost in sentiment.
‘When I first heard that radio… I was so moved.’
The reason why he was nicknamed General was simple.
Because he was actually a general.
Republic of Korea Army Brigadier General Cho Beom-seok.
After completing his military service as a brigadier general and retiring, he faced the day of destruction.
His identity was still that of a soldier.
so that.
‘The military unit that was thought to be destroyed… ‘I can’t believe he stayed.’
I despaired at the annihilation of all military units.
There was extreme joy in the presence of the remaining military units.
How happy I was.
When that radio first came on, I was listening to it all week.
“…Come to think of it.”
Beomseok Jo asked the group members behind him.
“That radio. “At what point didn’t your voice change?”
“Ah… I guess so.”
“That would be correct. “It was the same voice for the first week, and then it was a different voice.”
The voice that first transmitted on the radio.
And the voice broadcasting on the radio afterwards was a little different.
“Isn’t it true that broadcasts like that are usually made to soldiers? “I guess that broadcaster has changed.”
“Uhm….”
“General?”
Let’s remember that voice we first heard on the radio.
It was Jo Beom-seok, who seemed to have come up with something.
“…what. As you say, it probably doesn’t mean much.”
Because it wasn’t important right now.
I decided to move on for now.
What was heard on the radio was ordinary at first.
A repetition or summary of what has been broadcast so far.
“That last one was shocking. That corps can even observe the situation in Gyeonggi-do…”
New content is usually sent only after the existing content is finished.
While the existing content was flowing, people started chatting.
“No matter how military it is, you can’t see beyond that [wall].”
“With that level of capability, it’s clear… even if most of the corps’ strength was not able to survive, the soldiers at the brigade level would have survived.”
Jo Beom-seok also nodded at those words.
To demonstrate that level of capability, a sizable military unit would have to survive.
‘Who could it be?’
Beomseok Jo.
What I was interested in was who was the commander of that corps.
‘If you were to say that there was a soldier who could remain in Gangwon-do… the commander of the 18th Corps was definitely Lieutenant General Jang Hyeong-cheol?’
‘No, no. There is no guarantee that the corps commander would have survived… Even though Lieutenant General Jang Hyeong-cheol was good at his job, he was not a person with that much commanding power.’
‘Anyone with that level of ability… Colonel Shin Han-seok, who was the chief of staff of the corps? It could be Lieutenant Colonel Jeon Yeong-sik of the 73rd Ammunition Battalion.’
In his head.
I was active in Gangwon-do.
The names of military commanders who had the ability to overcome even this destruction came to mind.
Unless you have seen the true nature of that army.
It was just his imagination.
“General. Do you think there will be new information this time too?”
“…what. I don’t expect new information every week. “If nothing happens, this meeting ends here.”
I was thinking about the commander of that army.
Before we knew it, it was time for new content to come out.
[Next… we would like to share the information we successfully observed.]
‘It looks like there is something there.’
The fact that there is new content in itself is good news.
Beomseok Jo nodded cheerfully.
however.
[Our corps has been attempting continuous observation of areas bordering Gangwon-do.]
[Among them, we would like to provide information and advice regarding the Gyeonggi-do area.]
“…Huh?”
[Our corps has been continuously observing abnormal climate phenomena in Gyeonggi-do.]
[As a result, we concluded that this was a type of ‘dungeon conversion phenomenon.’]
“…Dungeon conversion?”
Its contents.
It was quite shocking.
