The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 89

Episode 89: Attack on Inje-gun (3)

Troops gathered around the county office.

Although he spoke grandly of conquering the military.

100% subjugation will take an enormous amount of time.

They pushed their troops brilliantly and broke through.

‘In reality, I probably couldn’t even organize a third of it. maybe.’

We simply took the route that allowed our unit to enter the county office the fastest.

Our goal is to increase the occupied territory.

I wondered what the criteria would be.

As a result, there is one conclusion.

‘Symbolism.’

The mountain range unit was not that big, but

it was located on the highest peak.

Excluding us, the lizards that occupied the largest area were exterminated.

As a result, the system recognized it as our occupied territory.

In that case, wouldn’t it be okay to occupy the place with the greatest symbolism here?

And if you say it is the most symbolic place in Inje-gun.

‘There is only the county office.’

In my experience.

The system has some understanding of the human social system.

If my prediction is correct.

Something will change by taking over this place.

“Youngjun.”

“uh.”

“Let me report the damage on our side.”

Nevertheless, the damage was significant;

more than 30% of the casualties were so severe that it was difficult to continue the fight.

‘Even though I did my best to prepare, it’s still like this.’

Since we are only reporting the damage to the soldiers, it is at least minimal.

More than ten vampires who had been treated harshly died.

Even though the tanks, which are oil-eating monsters, poured all the oil they had accumulated over the years.

Now it’s almost impossible to move.

Even if you attack the county office, if you fail to occupy it.

At that time, you really have to take your time and attack it step by step.

“I told you this last time. “Bulgeul can’t see inside here.”

“hmm.”

The unfortunate thing is that this is an area where Jeong Soo-ah’s reconnaissance does not work.

There were a few places like that in the county.

This means that there is a monster with the ability to block the access of spirits.

Although we tried to avoid touching other areas as much as possible,

attacking the county office was unavoidable.

“Ah, Sergeant Shin.”

“Be careful.”

I was the first to enter the building.

The moment you open the door.

A strange sound came from above my head.

“Click, click!” Foolish human! “I came in so foolishly that I didn’t even know I was hiding!”

“You idiot! “I will eat it with pleasure!”

Two figures falling overhead.

‘Soo was hiding?’

Just as those monsters said.

I had no idea they were hiding.

‘this?’

They were monsters that didn’t even think about hiding their sounds.

I thought they were just the ones who were there originally.

“no. “If you’re going to say he’s hiding, he should have at least stopped breathing.”

“Keek?”

Scratch-

[Experience gained.]

[Experience gained.]

I felt like the meat was being cut by the blade I swung.

In the meantime, there was almost no unpleasant sensation.

‘It’s not that strong of a monster.’

I looked at the corpses of monsters on the floor.

Two green-skinned dwarves.

[The chef’s eye activates.]

[Small Root Goblin]

[A subspecies of goblin that mainly works in the forest. Their individual combat ability is not high, but they are a tribe that is adept at group warfare using the terrain of the forest. Unfortunately, they do not have a lot of flesh compared to the difficulty of hunting, so they are not a very preferred material. To trim, first focus on the vertebrae of the back.]

Indeed.

Monsters that are originally active in the forest.

I don’t know how it ended up in this concrete city, but it doesn’t have its original group warfare ability.

“Enter, enter!”

“It took too long to enter the military. Sort it out quickly!”

The soldiers who entered after me also subdued the monsters quite easily.

Although it is quite bland for being the deepest part of a tense military conquest.

When I thought there wouldn’t be any major problems with the subjugation.

I thought differently.

‘These guys talk too.’

Perhaps because he was speaking so naturally, the soldiers didn’t seem to pay much attention.

How on earth can you speak Korean so naturally?

I don’t even know if those guys are really speaking Korean in the first place.

From my perspective, the fact that we could ‘communicate’ was quite important.

I glanced down at the shadow.

-…?

I feel my gaze and a moving presence within it.

A ‘monster capable of conversation’ that I encountered for the first time not long ago.

And that guy became my [subject].

As a result.

I also found it to be quite useful.

“Can I make these guys part of my family like you?”

-It’s a bit disappointing that they are treated like a lower species…

In order to survive, we must increase our power.

But unfortunately.

By the time of ‘Doomsday’, most of humanity had already been exterminated.

The remaining survivors will be less than half of what they were before.

‘It’s not bad for survivors to join, but there are bound to be limits to building a force with only survivors.’

In the past, when Genghis Khan waged a war of conquest.

Wasn’t it said that the insufficient troops were made up of slaves from conquered areas, not Mongolians?

No matter how despicable a monster it is.

If it’s useful, wouldn’t it be possible to use it as a slave soldier?

With that in mind, I continued my subjugation.

Before we knew it, we had arrived at the top floor of the county office.

“Kaaak! These humans! “You’re so strong!”

“crazy! “You suck!”

Monsters who talk frivolously with slurred speech.

At the center was a goblin wearing incredibly colorful clothing.

“Kaaaak!!! You can’t do it right! “Useless bastards!”

A guy who waves a stick and urges other goblins.

[Distinguishing food ingredients]

[Intermediate goblin shaman]

That guy is probably the leader of the goblins here.

He must have been the one who chased away the spirit.

of course.

Yes, it’s a goblin.

“Ke keeeek…!”

The guy who was subdued by the soldiers and his face fell on the floor.

It seems that the fancy accessories didn’t help much.

“There’s a human there!”

at that time.

The guy looked at me and shouted.

“Please save me!”

“…?”

“me! Good sense! you! These humans are the leaders! “Keruk!”

“her.”

“I listen to every word you say! right!?”

I have never particularly commanded combat during battles within the county office.

Nevertheless, they guessed that I was the leader based on their intuition.

‘Are you saying you’re not a shaman for nothing?’

I wonder if there is something similar to our unit’s senseless foresight.

I’m getting more and more interested.

“Keruk. “If you save me, there are many good things!”

“Good things?”

If you submit quietly, you may be able to gain useful troops.

The moment I moved closer to hear what he was saying.

-Master, be careful…!

Right in front of you.

A huge ball of fire was seen flying.

“Kekeke! Are you faking this? “You idiot!”

I guess he was able to activate the magic even though he was suppressed by the soldiers.

Probably a magic similar to the fireball used by wizards.

“Kakek! “The enemy captain has been defeated!”

“As expected, a shaman!”

“Kkeek. “I believed it!”

“The beginning of a counterattack…!”

The goblins start talking excitedly.

When I saw that.

“…ha.”

“Keruk?”

A sigh escaped my mouth.

“I was wondering if we could get any useful soldiers at best.”

[Characteristic – Intermediate fire affinity]

[Remodeled junior tailor’s steel leather command uniform]

The cook is friendly with fire.

Now that my skills have improved through cooking.

A fire of this magnitude is nothing.

“Ke Keruk. sorry.”

“You can’t do it.”

“surrender! submission! Loyal and loyal!!!”

Now the guy is bowing down on the floor.

but.

There is no need for a dog to bite its owner.

Dawn –

[Experience points have been obtained.]

Unfortunately, there was no message about achieving the achievement, as it was probably not the leader level of the species.

“Sergeant Shin? “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

“yes. Then these monsters.”

“Take care of everything.”

“yes! Guys! “Take care of it without leaving anything behind!”

“Kerry!!! “Save me!”

The remaining goblins were disposed of by the soldiers.

I sat on an office chair in the corner and looked at the scenery.

-master.

‘huh?’

The vampire baronet in the shadows spoke to me.

-It’s not something I should say since I’ve already become a member of the family.

‘What.’

-It won’t be that easy to have monsters under your command.

Monsters…

You probably mean monsters.

-Beings born with magical powers basically have strong pride. It is rare to see cases of submission to power.

‘Slave soldiers… are you saying there is no such thing?’

-yes. Unless it is possible to bind it as strongly as my oath, most people end up betraying it if they try to suppress it with force.

hmm.

It feels like my grand dream of becoming a monster slave army is collapsing.

‘Do you think it’s okay if I entice you with my cooking?’

-Uhm. The grace bestowed by the master brings supreme happiness, but…

he is a person who knows the taste of my cooking.

I felt like he was worried and couldn’t give a simple answer.

-I think it depends on the monster’s personality.

‘Inclination?’

-For non-warlike monsters, it may be possible to gain favor through grace. However, those monsters that live in tribes are generally warlike.

but.

The lizards that invaded the unit went on a rampage, trying to bite our soldiers until they died.

The ‘steel-eating Mac’, who lived a private life and only protected his territory.

A case like Kkamangi would be a case in which he was not belligerent.

-This time, the transaction went wrong from the beginning. It would have been the same even if the deal had been made. If those guys get to taste your master’s grace, rather than cooperate and receive the dish, they will somehow betray you and come up with a plan to turn you into a grace factory.

‘Grace Factory….’

It’s a quite novel combination of words.

anyway.

This means that it is impossible to catch a passing monster and feed it food to suddenly become one of your servants.

It was then.

Tiring.

[You have gained control of the territory ‘Small City (3)’ in the ROK.17 region.] [

Additional ‘Conquest Points’ are acquired while control of the territory is maintained.]

[The guild’s occupation area has been expanded!]

[ The number of executives who can be selected increases by ‘1’.]

‘As expected!’

Right in front of you.

The expected phrase appeared.

“Uh dominion?”

“What does this mean?”

Some soldiers looked puzzled when they saw the message.

Most of them have recently joined.

On the other hand.

“This is a phrase I haven’t seen in a while.”

“Okay. “When did that ever happen?”

Soldiers who have been with us since the battalion.

Some of them spoke as if they missed them.

‘It took a really long time.’

This was the first time I saw this phrase.

When you defeat the Chieftain’s forces leading the army.

It was the day when control of [the mountain range] was gained.

At that time, there were at most twenty awakened people in the unit.

There are quite a few awakened people who have seen this phrase.

To the soldiers who still don’t understand the meaning.

Sergeant Lee Min-jae gave a simple explanation.

“It means we have the greatest influence around here.”

“Ah…”

“It was judged that our power was sufficient to influence the entire Inje-gun.”

It was different from [Mountains], which had only miscellaneous monsters except for the lizards.

Various groups of survivors or marauders.

Monsters and monsters flock to hunt humans.

Zombies roaming the city, dead to them.

There are even monsters occupying the military bases that abound in Gangwon-do.

Beat them all.

It has been recognized as the ‘dominant force’ in this area.

“Haha… I think it was pretty easy in the end though.”

“I know?”

“Strategy within the military. Well, it’s not 100% complete. “I thought it would be a lot of hard work, but I succeeded.”

“When I first came down from the unit and looked at the military, I thought we would never be able to attack that place… but I was lucky.”

I can’t believe I was lucky.

I shook my head and joined the soldiers’ conversation.

“I wasn’t lucky.”

When coming down the mountain range.

I thought luck played a role in our unit’s survival.

Even though my awakening was like that, it was an environment where zombies didn’t appear for some reason.

But it’s different on the ground.

What is luck?

“We worked hard that much and became stronger.”

“Ah…”

“I see. Sergeant Shin is correct.”

Just this county office right now.

If it had been us when we first came down from the unit, we would have been able to conquer it after much hardship.

As time passed, we did not neglect our efforts.

That’s just the result.

[Steel Legion]

[Dominion territory of ROK.17 region]

[Mountains – 3%]

[Small cities (3) – 3%]

The proportion of small cities (3) is 3%.

In terms of area, the mountain range would be much wider, but still, this number is.

After all, the existing level of civilization has some influence.

‘We’ve finally moved on to the next step.’

They succeeded in bringing Inje-gun under their control.

in other words.

It also meant that it was time to advance into other regions.

‘Of course the tank. We have also secured a subway system where trams can travel.’

If we expand our territory like this, one day.

My parents’ hometown.

You might be able to reach home.
