The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 300

Episode 300

“The Guro side is open! Send the third unit towards Guro Station!”

“Evacuate to the mountain where there is no gate, not the building! “The city is like a battlefield anyway!”

“Put more cameras in. What are the drones doing? “You can’t see our crew very well!”

A crowded situation room.

An enormous number of magic screens covered all sides of a huge space almost the size of a playground.

There were always screens on the temporary walls located in the middle.

More than a thousand people were busy analyzing the screen and data in their respective seats.

And the most central control area.

It was Raoul who was leading the way, standing on a platform that could look around in all directions.

“Are you saying the U.S. is responding well? Well, there’s no need to worry about that. “The remaining troops will be sent to South America via air transport.”

“fly? Request for support in protecting cultural assets? It was funny and embarrassing. “Save the people first!”

“Do not enter until the shooting stops! “Saving people is important, but the safety of our crew is more important!”

Raoul was giving instructions one by one in response to reports and communications pouring in from all directions.

All executives of the First Guild were doing their best to resolve the situation on Earth by mobilizing guild communication, magic communication, and community functions.

‘damn. If only the initial response had been a little smoother!’

In this respect, the United States was most certain.

From the beginning, they poured in their firepower with the attitude of destroying all enemies, and thanks to this, they were still maintaining a stable defense line.

Moreover, perhaps because of open-mindedness, the awakened people of their own country have already been deployed to the defense line to respond.

It didn’t seem like help from First Security Co. or Purple Guild members was needed yet.

In contrast, the situation in other countries was dire.

Like Korea, most places attempted to capture monsters alive.

In the beginning, there were places where only police were stationed near the gate.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Earth is currently engulfed in phones.

Raoul, who had already expected this to happen from the moment the gate appeared, had established a defense plan centered around Purple Guild members and First Security agents.

However, they could not be deployed from the beginning of the incident.

No matter how much the Purple Guild Rankers awakened their supernatural abilities on Earth, it could not protect them from bullets.

Therefore, we cannot act arbitrarily without the cooperation of the military.

Of course, we asked the government in advance whether or not to cooperate, but nothing came of it.

From the beginning, the very existence of psychics (awakened people) was not acknowledged, and the common attitude was that the military could not lend its power to the civilian population.

So in the end, they were sent into battle only after the situation worsened.

“Remember! Stopping monsters is important, but the lives of our crew are more important! “If you think it’s dangerous, make sure to retreat!”

The abilities of the guild members were not yet fully developed.

They still needed more time to grow before they could really fight monsters properly.

Nevertheless, the reason they put them into today’s operation was because they wanted to and because the situation was much more serious than expected.

‘What’s the use if it’s all ruined? Even if we can’t completely stop it, we have to minimize the damage to the point where we can withstand it.’

Choice and concentration were required.

The number of gates covering the entire Earth was so enormous that the current Purple Guild members alone could never cover it.

Wouldn’t we be able to think about the future only if we at least lay the foundation for continuing the legacy of humanity?

And one more purpose.

It was necessary to allow those who awakened on Earth, like the Purple Guild Rankers, to operate freely.

As shown in this incident, there are limits to the monsters that can be dealt with with firearms on modern Earth.

Therefore, a system was needed that would allow the awakened to deal with mid- to upper-level monsters with government support, and the video that is currently being filmed was the basis for that.

“Take a closer picture! In particular, never miss the appearance of the rankers. “What happened to the broadcasting station?”

“Negotiations are now over! “They say they will broadcast it live.”

“good. They say it’s live, but you have to send the video through us! “Be sure to edit out any scenes that seem to be problematic!”

“All right!”

Now was a time when heroes were needed.

It would have been difficult for the awakened people to be exposed to being attacked by monsters.

That’s why hundreds of video technicians have been invited to the situation room and are currently working on it.

“And announce where you can evacuate in real time! As long as the monsters spread, the buildings near the gate are never safe. “Rather guide them towards the nearby mountains or parks!”

Like Connect, gates were created mainly in places with high population concentration.

Thanks to this, there are almost no gates in places such as large mountains or parks near rivers.

‘When the time comes, I’ll have to move to the suburbs, but for now.’

If additional gates did not appear, it was a matter of thinking about getting out of the city and finding a new shelter.

Anyway, the important thing is that we have to somehow sort out the gate wave that occurred today.

Fortunately, there were only a few C-class gates, and even those had not yet sent out powerful monsters.

The Purple Guild’s rankers will be able to handle the ones that have appeared so far.

‘Ilwoo, please.’

Raoul looked at his friend’s face on the screen with a stern expression and began quickly delivering orders again.

* * *

“Woo wow!”

“I won!”

“Long live you!”

Gate Wave, which lasted for 3 days, somehow ended.

Cheers from soldiers and citizens briefly erupted from various parts of the city center, which was almost in ruins.

However, the reason it soon became quiet was probably because I again saw a terrible scene that I had never imagined.

“haha.”

Ilwoo leaned on the sword stuck in the floor and let out a harsh breath that had filled his throat.

His entire body was stained with fragments of various monsters and his own blood, so he was in an unbearable condition.

But no one blamed Ilwoo.

No, everyone around him was looking at him in awe.

The transformed werewolf that appeared at the final C-class gate was too strong.

The gray werewolf, over 2m 50cm tall, single-handedly destroyed three nearby armored vehicles and two tanks with its sharp claws and quick movements.

Not only that, he caused the blood of over a hundred soldiers to be shed. If Ilwoo had not arrived in time, not everyone here would have survived.

‘Wow, the wounds…’

Both of his clones were destroyed while fighting this guy, and Ilwoo himself had to suffer significant stab wounds.

But anyway, it was Ilwoo who won.

Weeeeeeeee.

More than ten drones were filming him in the air.

‘what the. ‘This is harder.’

If possible, don’t fall down or show weakness.

I wanted to pour out my complaints to my friend who was watching from inside Connect.

But if it weren’t for him, would we have been able to overcome this crisis?

“Are you okay? “Just wait a moment and the treatment team will arrive.”

“Is it over now? “Then would you please ask me to take those away?”

When Ilwoo pointed to the drones with his finger, the guild member nodded as if he understood and then relayed the news somewhere through the microphone.

Meanwhile, First Security agents approached and set up a tent nearby to hide Il-woo.

dump.

“Sigh, I’m dying.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Before I knew it, sticky blood was dripping from Il-woo’s body, lying down on the temporary bed that had been installed.

“This is a message from the Chairman. You worked hard, leave the rest to you. When you wake up, many things will have changed. See you at Connect. That is all.”

“Phew, I understand. “I’ll leave the rest to you.”

I couldn’t sleep properly for three days and went through dozens of gates.

The deep fatigue was covering Ilwoo’s eyelids.

‘When my friend wakes up, I ask him to work less.’

Il-woo, recalling a simple hope, fell into sleep.

The Gate Wave that occurred on Earth took away so many things.

The huge cities that symbolized each country were paralyzed, with ugly ruins here and there.

In the process, not only did numerous soldiers lose their lives, but the damage to citizens was also enormous.

The number of victims of this wave was estimated to exceed 100 million worldwide.

And the most frustrating thing of all was that the gate wave had ended, but the gate itself had not been cleared.

Moreover, less than 20% of the places had clean waves.

The remaining 80% was occupied by monsters that came out of the gate.

It was a shame because they didn’t go beyond a certain range around the gate, otherwise the damage would have been even greater.

Meanwhile, the scale of damage varied widely depending on the country.

The United States, which is said to have the strongest military, naturally blocked this wave with minimal damage.

Although there may have been damage to the soldiers, the damage to the citizens was not significant.

And, except for a few places that were deliberately allowed for certain purposes, they showed great courage in dealing with all monsters, so it was worthy of being called America.

In addition, countries that could be called developed countries somehow managed the gate wave appropriately.

Although the damage was considerable, they succeeded in clearing out most of the monsters.

And it was the agents of the Purple Guild and First Security who shone in the process.

The more developed a country is, the more players it has.

Therefore, First Company’s branches were mainly established in developed countries.

With their deployment, they were able to clear the intermediate gates that were difficult to deal with.

And Korea.

It has one of the most powerful armies in the world.

However, the scale of damage was significant compared to its status.

This was partly because there were so many densely populated cities, and the fact that the initial response itself was a mess also played a role.

-Why did the soldiers have to stop the monsters with bayonets?

-Gold badge that appeared in the integrated command room. Why are the lawmakers there?

-The damage increased because of incorrect predictions. The Gate Wave incident was a man-made disaster.

-First Company, which has consistently warned the government. If you had listened to what they said…

– It wasn’t a movie. The person who saved us at the moment of crisis was none other than the ‘Awakened One.’

-The rumor that Connect Rankers exhibit supernatural abilities was true.

-Is this the emergence of a new hero? A collection of the activities of Purple Guild rankers.

After the Gate incident, various articles began to come out.

Although the city’s functions were paralyzed, the media was still functioning.

In particular, the community and broadcasting through the Connect system worked without any problems, so there were no problems with the public receiving news.

Naturally, the public’s voices criticizing the response that day soared, and the government responded quickly.

The National Assembly members who visited the command room that day were expelled following a quick resolution by the National Assembly.

The stars who gave the absurd order were dismissed from their positions and faced a military trial.

It showed how seriously the government is taking this situation.

Meanwhile, the Purple Guild’s rankers and awakeners, including Kim Il-woo, began to be treated as heroes.

The media covered their activities every day, and videos of them in action were constantly being aired on various media outlets and personal broadcasts.

There was also news that the government was commending them and was also pursuing a plan to establish a special organization to prepare for future situations.

There was no doubt that the influence of Connect Co., Ltd. and First Company Co., Ltd. had a strong influence in the process.

His attitude of ignoring all of Raoul’s warnings and suggestions until now had completely changed, and he was now trying to seek advice and help in any way possible.

In fact, if monsters pour out of the gate again right now, hasn’t it already been proven that there are limits to the military’s ability to respond?

So, rapid changes were coming to the Earth.

And in another sense, a huge problem has arisen in the current community.

-help. I can’t log out!

-I hid in the capsule to avoid the monster, but does anyone know what’s going on outside?

-The house collapsed while I was connected to Connect. Please save me!

Some players who were connected to Connect during the gate wave became trapped inside Connect.
