The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 332
Episode 332: Reversal (1)
“Throw firepower at the rear of the monsters trying to attack the castle gate…! Keheuk kellogg.”
After giving orders to the awakened people on the ground, screaming so hard that my throat hurts.
I looked around.
‘It’s not a perfect operation, but… this is enough.’
In the first place.
As I was not an awakened person in the chain of command, I had no ability to execute a perfect strategy to begin with.
so that.
What I wanted to do after taking command was to provide them with sufficient buffs.
And….
‘Unifying their actions as one.’
The strength of the expeditionary force is by no means weak.
Even if the strategy is a bit sloppy.
“The Awakened Association fights as one!”
It’s not like we’re divided and fighting like that.
If we can properly unite for one goal and fight as an ‘expeditionary force’.
“Kneel before the united power!!!”
That alone.
Any major crisis can be overcome by classifying it as a weight class.
After checking the people who were shouting the association’s battle slogan and driving away the enemies.
I immediately ran towards the top of the barrier.
‘The current expeditionary force can sufficiently suppress the monsters that have infiltrated inside the wall.’
The problem is on the other side.
Blurred….
‘As expected… looks very busy here too.’
Let’s get to the top of the wall.
Soldiers of the southern branch who handled the artillery installed there.
“Keep shooting!”
“How many people are coming…!”
they.
A battle could be seen with enemies coming from outside the wall.
“…you.”
and.
The third leader of the Southern Branch, who was commanding the soldiers of the Southern Branch.
[Kim Jin-kyung]
[Intermediate Poisoner Lv.26]
“What on earth are you doing, commanding an expeditionary force?”
“It happened because the situation was not favorable.”
While Kim Jin-kyung was leading the battle.
He glared at me with sharp eyes.
* * *
“I can’t believe the situation wasn’t favorable. For that reason, if command is transferred carelessly, the chain of command may be disrupted at a really important moment.”
Although we have rarely spoken in person.
Like Jo Beom-seok, she is a sharp-looking woman who reminds us of a soldier.
“I know. “In most cases, I didn’t even want to do this.”
The way he was looking at me was not unusual.
This means that she is also someone who can take on the role of leader of a group.
“But… I’m sure you know the situation at a glance, right? “Captain Jo Jun is incapable of combat, and General Cho has also lost his mind.”
“I understood that too. I also understood that someone had to take command. “But there’s no reason why it should be you.”
It occurred to me that this woman might also be a former soldier.
That part wasn’t important right now.
“You were there when I was talking to General Cho in the conference room.”
“I did. “What does that mean?”
“If you heard the conversation back then, you would know. General Cho has always trusted me. “Even when you suspected that you two could be traitors, you trusted me enough to mention the traitor to me first.”
“…Hmm.”
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
Kim Jin-kyung nods as if he wants to listen more.
“So?”
“I just received the transfer of command from General Joe and am on my way back.”
“…yes?”
“When I asked him how he could lead, he said that he was busy taking care of his grandson and did not have the time, so he asked me to take care of it.”
“General Cho said that…?”
Kim Jin-kyung looks a little surprised.
what.
It’s not a lie.
-For God’s sake, unless you can save my grandson, don’t interfere and get the hell out of the way!
-Is that my business? You figure it out!
Just say something.
The nuance was just a little different.
‘I told you to take care of the command, right?’
I do as I say.
I’m really just trying to figure it out on my own.
“In addition to General Cho, Captain Jo Joon’s command authority is…”
“…Hehe, I also roughly heard that part.”
“yes?”
“Have you forgotten? In the morning. “When Captain Aiming was running towards you on the wall and yelling… I was there too.”
Oh, come to think of it.
To begin with, I tend to get little sleep in the morning, so I wake up a little early and have nothing to do.
I wanted to come up here and check the condition of the batteries installed here.
At that moment, this woman came up to me and was about to give me a brief explanation.
Aim came running towards me.
“I didn’t fully understand why Captain Jo Joon was very excited, but I heard the general idea. “He said he would follow you or something like that.”
This is lucky.
“Then it will be easy to talk about. I was duly handed over command from those two men. Please follow.”
“…Whew. “I wonder what kind of situation this is.”
Kim Jin-kyung sighed and frowned for a moment, thinking about it.
“All right. “For now, I will follow your orders.”
“…!”
“I trust you won’t give any strange orders instead.”
Fortunately.
Kim Jin-gyeong, who commanded the artillery above the wall, also accepted my command without much friction.
“Then let’s start with the report. “What is the current situation?”
“As soon as you said you would follow orders, you started speaking informally. Well, that would be better for securing command, but…”
Kim Jin-kyung looked a little puzzled.
He soon answered with sharp eyes.
“It’s a situation. “It was the worst until just now.”
Her eyes looked outside the barrier.
“After the first sniper shot was fired at Captain Cho, the enemy immediately took action. Snowballs containing the monster flew out, and the monsters began to approach all at once from beyond the blizzard. As if I was waiting and waiting for that shot….”
“Considering that sniper shot, it would be dangerous to be on the wall, so is it okay to stay here like this?”
“Fortunately, that assassination did not happen again. “It was an attack that took place far beyond the line of sight we had, so sniping from that distance is not possible often.”
…but that’s a good thing.
At those words, a question arose in my mind.
‘I don’t get to make that kind of attack often… so why did that first sniper aim aim?’
Moreover, it seemed as if he had been waiting for that shot.
The enemies, who had been waiting with bated breath, took action all at once right after firing.
To start a fight by simply shooting any of those on the wall.
There were a lot of awkward things.
‘Because Jo Joon was shot, Jo Beom-seok was also in a situation where he was unable to use his abilities.’
I don’t think I did it without knowing.
Because it was an overly effective attack.
“The bigger problem was the monsters that poured inside the wall. These are enemies who have infiltrated the inside in a situation where there is no one in command. When I saw those guys heading towards the castle gate, I honestly thought that the only thing left was for them to be annihilated. That was the reason I said the situation was the worst…”
The enemies had dug in inside the already chaotic situation.
If we had fought without proper command, those monsters would have been a huge threat.
“Thanks to someone, the problem has been solved, so the current situation seems to be the lesser evil.”
Those who were united under my command began to fight a proper battle.
The potential of an expeditionary force with proper command is by no means weak.
The enemies inside will be dealt with sooner or later.
“The problem is those guys approaching.”
At those words, I also looked outside the barrier.
“What are the types and numbers of monsters?”
“I can’t figure out the numbers. As they keep coming from beyond the field of vision obscured by the snowstorm… monsters of so many different races are approaching at the same time. “It’s so hard to believe that they are all monsters from one faction.”
Although the fire from the southern branch continued to rain down.
Through the barrage, countless monsters were seen approaching at incredible speeds.
“Do you think those guys will be able to cross or break through the barrier?”
“Well… we are not easy people either. Even if the monsters get to the bottom of the wall, I’m confident that they won’t break through easily. But…”
“But?”
“There are so many different types, and moreover, I was able to see them displaying abilities that they didn’t originally have.”
The abilities that monsters have are so diverse.
Maybe there is a monster with the ability to shatter the castle gate in one fell swoop.
“It’s hard to be sure.”
“It’s unfortunate, but that’s the case. “As a commander, are you going to reprimand me?”
“no way.”
In the first place.
That was the reason why I rushed up to this wall.
“I was roughly expecting that to be the case.”
“…is that so?”
At my words.
Kim Jin-kyung said, tilting his head as if he was a little puzzled.
“That’s amazing. Unless you are someone who has experienced many battles like this, I think it would have been difficult to think about it…” “
…That part is not important.”
The important part is this.
I was roughly expecting a situation like this.
That’s why….
-Kwaaaaaah!
“…!?”
The point was that there was someone who had called.
“bear?”
A huge, green bear ran up the steps of the barrier at incredible speed.
Arrived at the barrier in an instant.
“I told you to come as quickly as possible, but you’re a little late, aren’t you?”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
Let me talk to the bear.
Despite his wild appearance, an ordinary human voice came out.
“I brought the two people you mentioned together.”
OK.
The huge bear soon changed into human form.
It landed on the barrier with the two people riding on its back.
“So, Youngjun. “What on earth is going on?”
One of the three leaders of the Northern Branch.
A powerful Druid awakener.
It was Kang Jae-ho.
“Even if this attack is not the case, Youngjun suddenly takes command…”
“Well, that’s what happened.”
“Besides, what is a sergeant?”
“I told you that this happened to me while I was on vacation in my later years, right? It was before the discharge ceremony. “First of all, I’m still a sergeant.”
“….”
Kang Jae-ho made a slightly absurd expression.
Soon he shook his head and got to the point.
“So why did you call me? “The battle inside the wall was also quite urgent, so I guess I had a lot of work to do.”
“Well, there are things that require Jae-ho, but…”
In response to the question posed by Kang Jae-ho.
I said, looking at the two people standing behind him.
“for now… “I think we’ll need those two first.”
At my words.
The two awakened people fell on the floor, probably feeling dizzy after reaching the barrier by almost hanging on the back of a huge bear.
“…Yes?”
“You mean us, right?”
Jang Jung-seok and Kim Mi-kyung.
He raised his head and looked at my face.
‘The enemy inside will be able to be defeated somehow.’
I turned the buff and gave the order.
Those combat workers will figure it out somehow.
but.
‘The monsters coming from outside are a different story.’
The monsters inside the wall are, to be honest, a separate unit.
The main force was countless monsters approaching through the expedition’s fire from outside.
To kill those guys.
More than just a simple command is needed.
[Jang Joong-seok]
[Lv. 12 Lesser Water Mage]
[Kim Mi-kyung]
[L. 14 Lesser Wind Wizard]
Those two people.
It was brought here.
‘Parents of Private Jang Hong-su.’
lately.
When I saw the occupations of those two people I met by chance.
There was a strategy that came to mind.
“Flood’s father and mother. And Jae-ho.”
“…?”
“You three will follow my orders from now on.”
Well, it may seem like a great strategy.
Let’s just say it’s a strategy that I, as a chef, would think of.
Of course there is only one.
‘Cooking.’
To those monsters that are coming towards me as if they are hungry.
It will show you the taste of the dish.
