Highway 81 outside Stuttgart.
The first line of defense on the road to Berlin.
As soon as I arrived, I quickly surveyed the situation.
“Luckily it’s not too late.”
About 30 troops.
It seemed that other troops had not arrived yet.
‘It’s a miracle that I’m still alive….’
If it had been just a little bit later, everyone here would have been reduced to dust.
I turned my gaze to look at the Lions Clubs International troops beyond the defense line.
Fortunately, they also seemed to have taken quite a bit of damage from my attack a while ago and seemed to wince.
We gained some time until we could advance again.
We should also use this opportunity to reorganize our camp.
I approached a young man who appeared to be the commander and spoke.
“From now on, we will take charge of the all-out war, so we ask you to move to the rear of the defense line and provide support fire.”
“What is it? “Who are you all…?”
But he seemed more curious about who we were.
There won’t be time for this.
“This is an operations team belonging to the German Association. I’ll tell you the details later…”
“What…?” Wasn’t there an order to disperse? The president of the association said he was arrested on the spot for disobeying orders…”
“That’s true, but let’s put out the urgent fire first.”
As I said that, I looked back at the operations team.
“Teams 1 and 2 should switch platoon troops and positions right now. “You can focus on the close position at the front and place the rest on the sides.”
“All right!”
“For teams 3 and 4, please support the mid and rear with platoon troops, focusing on long-distance positions. “You don’t have to worry about whether you hit or not, so just use your skills as much as you can.”
“yes!”
Following my instructions, the operation team began to move in perfect order.
The platoon members left their positions with dumbfounded expressions, and we, who took charge of the defense line on their behalf, soon completed preparations for the siege.
“There is no need to hit a target. It is enough to continue the confrontation by pouring out as much skill as possible. If it’s a war of attrition anyway, that side will need time to replenish their magic power.”
It’s time to hear a resounding answer.
Lions Clubs International troops are also ready to attack again.
bang-!
Quagwagwang-!!
Soon, skills began to pour in between the two camps.
“Guardian class! “Don’t worry about anything else and just focus on defending against the bombardment!”
“All right!”
“Yes, yes!”
[Unique Skill: Supreme Mirror]
[Unique Skill: Triangle Shield]
Boom!
Coo coo coo!!
We continued to block attacks coming from the Lions Clubs International camp, and similarly attacks from our side were easily blocked.
A fight where no harm can be caused to each other.
I have no intention of competing here anyway.
In order to take time before the headquarters troops arrive, we must engage in a war of attrition.
“What on earth is this? “How did the Association’s operations team…”
As the situation solidified, the commander approached me again.
For some reason, his tone was different from before.
“It may be sudden, but the German Association has been taken over by WDSO as of today.”
“…Yes yes?!”
“From now on, blast furnace deployment orders and operational instructions will be judged and decided solely by us. Well, of course…”
I continued, glancing at the man.
“I won’t bother you if you can sufficiently defend it on your own.”
“….”
The man’s expression hardened.
And soon.
“…Please help me.”
He said those words with a serious expression.
“We alone are not enough. “Even if we ask for reinforcements, they just tell us they are coming and give us orders to keep blocking them.”
“The reinforcements probably won’t come.”
“yes…?”
“It seems like the Minister of Defense likes things that are very dramatic. From what I heard, it seems like the military company is planning to actually use the newly developed weapon… There is a lot of preparation for that, so they probably went that way.”
“What is that…!”
An expression of disbelief.
Well, I also wondered if this was true, but since it was told by Minister Lucas, it is probably not wrong.
‘Do you think the war against people with special abilities is just a neighborhood gang fight?…’
Even if you don’t know reality, you can’t help but be a person who doesn’t know too much.
“Anyway, I will be in charge of the Route 81 defense line from now on. First, please briefly brief me on the situation.”
“We don’t have much information either. All I know is that the number of people advancing now is approximately 5,000…”
I stroked my chin for a moment to gather my thoughts after hearing his words.
“The total number of confirmed troops is said to be 60,000… so it looks like the rest are going another way.”
“There are a total of five roads leading to Berlin. Route 81 is a direct road, but national roads 52, 9, 11, and 101 are also connected. Different platoons are in charge of the defense line of each road…”
the man said, glancing at the operations team I was with.
“The situation will be the same on the other side. We have no hope anyway, so it would be better if you support another line of defense…” “
No. There is no need for that.”
“yes…?”
I raised the corners of my mouth and took out the walkie-talkie.
“Did you hear? Routes 51, 9, 11, and 101.”
“The remaining operation team is now moving to each road! “I’m also taking Route 101!”
“Okay. “As soon as you arrive, Ayoung Lee, please set up temporary support facilities and establish a supply network at each defense line to continue supplying potions and equipment.”
“Okay!”
After hearing Director Lee Ah-young’s answer, I changed the channel and asked Chloe this time.
“Where is Chloe now?”
“I’m heading to Route 52.”
“We’ll reorganize our camp as soon as we arrive….”
“We’ll take care of it, so don’t contact us.”
“….”
Are you crazy?
‘Let’s go back to Korea and see you.’
I tried to let go of my anger and spoke to the commander again.
“All operational teams are now heading to each defense line. Of course, we cannot completely stop the Lions Clubs International, but at least we will be able to hold out long enough until reinforcements arrive.”
“But if you take another road, you can go back and still advance all the way to Berlin! It would be impossible to block all roads…”
That was the moment the commander opened his mouth.
bang-!
Quagwagwagwang-!!
A series of explosions were heard from afar.
I knew right away what that sound meant.
I heard something from Director Ha Seong-il on my way here.
“All but five main roads were just destroyed.”
“Yes yes…?”
“A construction company I know is lending a helping hand.”
I smiled and continued.
“If we hold out for 36 hours, WDSO headquarters troops will arrive. So… let’s just hold on until then.”
“….”
He stared at me with a very stern expression for a moment.
“Lieutenant Denver, 3rd Platoon Leader, 1st Company, 3rd Infantry Battalion, 1st German Armored Division. Please take care of me.”
He gave a salute and a determined voice.
“This is Kim Jun-woo, leader of Cleaning Team 3 at WDSO Headquarters.”
“…Kim Jun-woo? Could it be that Karma Corporation CEO Kim Jun-woo…?”
“Haha, you know.”
I raised the corners of my mouth and answered.
At the same time, I could see relief washing over his face.
Well, no matter how much we cut off communication, my name is still relevant here…
“So, Operations Director Kim Min-ju is here too?! “I’m so glad!”
“…?”
Kim Min-joo…?
Not me?
“Hey you bastards! We live now! “Hunter Kim Min-ju has arrived!”
“Are you serious?!”
“Hunter Kim Min-ju is here?!”
“Um…”
He opened his mouth with an embarrassed expression towards them who were shouting as if they had already won the war.
“I’m sorry for cutting you off, but… Director Kim Min-ju hasn’t arrived yet.”
“…ah.”
Suddenly, the soldiers’ expressions suddenly darkened.
Fuck.
Should I just beat it up?
***
The 5 fastest roads from Stuttgart to Berlin.
Among them, National Road 52, where the third defense line is located.
“Tsk, I guess I’ll figure it out.”
There, Chloe turned off the radio and muttered in a disapproving voice.
Because he is busy, he is requesting a situation briefing every five minutes despite requests to refrain from communicating.
Are you worried about yourself or are you worried about something else?
‘Why are you afraid that I might run away now?’
If you have time like this, why not take care of your girlfriend one more time?
Chloe muttered that and frowned.
In the meantime, the operations team that had set up camp took an offensive stance toward the front.
“Stupid bastards…”
Chloe, who was looking at them, opened her mouth as if she didn’t like something.
“What what…?”
“Are you just talking about us?!”
At the same time, the operation team hunters became angry and raised their voices, but Chloe answered calmly.
“The International Association does not use the typical subjugation style arrangement. Since most of the firepower is concentrated on the front, only worry about the enemies in front of you. And all of the LCI’s equipment is focused only on firepower. Instead, since the caster’s magic consumption is not taken into consideration, if we continue to induce attacks, we have the advantage in a war of attrition.”
“How do you know that?!”
“Because I made it.”
“…?”
“…to?”
My eyebrows twitched.
“Most of the equipment, weapons and potions they use are made by me.”
Still speaking calmly.
Everyone seemed at a loss for words as he casually spewed out such a huge statement.
“So just shut up and do as I say.”
Eventually, the International Association’s troops appeared in sight.
Chloe looks at them.
“If this place gets breached, you guys don’t know… but I will never die a nice death.”
He spoke in a trembling voice, as if he was unusually nervous.
***
Stuttgart.
The middle of the city center is already completely ruined.
Secretary-General Wesley was still there with his core troops, checking the progress of the advance.
“Secretary General.”
At that time, Assistant Secretary Kate visited the Secretary General.
“I just received a call from each team… saying that a local operation team has been deployed to the German defense line.”
“Operation team?”
At the same time, Secretary General Wesley’s eyebrows twitched.
“Of course, we are lacking in firepower, but we are blocking the advance by leading to a war of attrition. If things continue like this, it will likely take longer to reach Berlin.”
“Tsk, those flies are bothering me.”
One time he clicked his tongue.
“Anyway… how was the local operation team brought in? “There’s no way Minister Monaghan would have allowed that.”
He asked with an expression of incomprehension.
That person knows better than anyone else.
A man who is only interested in self-interest and power.
I can’t stand to see someone else messing with a war that has so much to gain.
He is the kind of guy who will not even receive support from other countries, let alone any help from his home country’s association.
But how did the local operations team…
“It seems like WDSO stepped up.”
“Ha…”
Secretary General Wesley laughed.
Is that really the case?
Well, if something happens that doesn’t make sense according to common sense, it’s probably those guys who did it.
Germany is currently blocked from interacting with other countries, so it would never have been able to persuade the association through the official method… Looks like they used some trick again.
“Fortunately, looking at the number of personnel, it appears that only the local operation team was rushed in, and WDSO headquarters personnel have not yet been dispatched.”
“It will take two days to arrive. “They’ll probably try to bide their time until then… but we’ll have to break through somehow before then.”
“Shall we push through with firepower?”
“That is dangerous. “If you fail in even one area, it will be quite a blow.”
“Then…”
“If you can’t penetrate multiple places at the same time, just focus on one place and aim.”
Secretary General Wesley answered Kate’s question by raising his index finger.
“Where would you like to go?”
“If you look at the distance, number 81 is the best, but… that means more troops would have been deployed. There are roads that are less important and may have fewer personnel assigned to them….”
Soon, Secretary General Wesley placed his finger on the map.
“Route 52. “It would be nice here.”
Secretary Kate nodded slightly at his decision.
There seemed to be no disagreement.
“Concentrate all troops on other routes of advance to Route 52. “Tell them I’m going there too.”
“…All right.”
“And…you follow me too.”
Soon, Secretary General Wesley took a step forward and continued speaking.
“Let’s take a look at your skills after a long time.”
