“What…?”

German Federal Armed Forces Command and Control Command.

It is a control center where the national leadership is gathered and where all troops are commanded.

Minister of National Defense Monaghan, who was checking the situation in real time, received a report like a bolt from the blue.

“It is said that the association’s operation team has been deployed to a total of 5 road defense lines, including the first defense line on Route 81!”

“What the fuck is that?”

Upon hearing Lieutenant General Thomas’s report, Secretary Monaghan stood up and shouted.

“I clearly dispersed it! Just in case, I even included Amelie, but who on earth put her in there! aide? Or the head of operations?!”

“That…”

“I don’t know who it is, but I guess I was easy. Catch the bastard who gave the order to deploy immediately! “If you resist, you can shoot me dead!”

“Minister Mo Monaghan…”

Lieutenant General Thomas began cautiously.

“From what I found out… the current German association is…?”

“I don’t know the details. I suspect that they may have prepared something in advance, but…”

“Even if they did prepare, how could it happen so quickly…”

A memory flashed through my mind at that moment.

I remembered the Asian man who was with me when I was taking the president of the association, Amelie.

‘Fuck, that bastard…?’

I chewed it hard.

I don’t know what happened, but… Amelie, it’s clear that that bitch was up to something.

He

said he had prepared documents in advance in anticipation of being caught… “We are sorry, but if you have been officially merged with WDSO, we cannot intervene any further. As an international organization, it is our inherent authority to support conflict areas…”

Lieutenant General Thomas said quietly.

At the same time, Minister Monaghan’s face turned red.

I tried somehow to prevent third parties from intervening, but it ended up like this.

One time, Minister Monaghan let out a deep sigh with an expression of great indignation.

“…Have you heard from Box Industries? What happened to the ‘Squall’ deployment?”

Suddenly, another question came up.

“Oh yes… It’s almost finished, so please wait a little longer…”

“Fuck! It’s already been 3 weeks since they said the prototype was completed, so why are they still waiting? “You can deploy it right?!”

“….”

Lieutenant General Thomas simply received the call and reported.

Even if I pressed him, there was no way he could respond.

“Tell me to finish the deployment within 3 hours from now. Otherwise, it’s a formal contract, and I don’t know any more!”

“…All right.”

Lieutenant General Thomas immediately lowered his gaze with a short answer.

At the same time, Minister Monaghan clenched his fists and widened his eyes.

Box Industries was a German military company.

Although it was a new company established less than a year ago, it was about to sign a formal contract with the Ministry of National Defense, and this was possible thanks to Minister Monahan’s active push.

And the reason he promoted startups and such was a more complicated relationship.

Secretary Monaghan has been receiving large sums of lobbying funds in exchange for supplying weapons to Russia for several years.

The person who led the deal was none other than Russia’s Minister of Defense Vladimir.

Of course, it can never be legal to hand over one’s country’s weapons to another country after receiving lobbying, but isn’t that the way the world is?

Above all, thanks to Minister Vladimir, connections were made with other countries, and the amount of lobbying money coming in from around the country was beyond imagination.

In this way, Minister Vladimir was a very important client to Monaghan.

And that person’s son-in-law was the CEO of Box Industries.

In order to maintain a good relationship with Minister Vladimir in the future, we had to somehow conclude a formal contract with Box Industries.

However, military contracting was an issue that even the Minister of National Defense could not decide on his own.

Permission from other personnel was also required, and the final decision was to proceed through voting.

Therefore, what Minister Monaghan can do is to urgently deploy the new cluster bomb ‘Squall’ developed by Box Industries to clearly impress other generals.

That was all.

This was also the reason why Minister Monaghan continued to postpone support by deploying minimal manpower despite the war situation.

A more critical battlefield was suitable to imprint ‘Squall’ more effectively.

However, since a third party is involved, the situation may end before Squall is deployed.

‘We must act quickly…’

Minister Monaghan became impatient.

But in fact, the situation was not something that could be easily resolved.

Since he was Minister Monaghan, neither a soldier nor a hunter, he had no sense of the battles of people with special abilities, so he was completely unaware that the establishment of this battle itself made no sense in the first place.

“We have to somehow disband the operations team until Squall is deployed. Do you understand? “The protagonist of this war must be Squall.”

When Secretary Monaghan opened his mouth again, Lieutenant General Thomas responded with a troubled expression.

“But Minister… the situation is very serious. “If we disband the operation team here, we will be helpless while the enemy advances to Berlin.”

“So you can’t follow my orders now?”

“That…”

“Hey Thomas. This is Germany. We don’t need anyone’s help and no one can break us. Do you understand?”

“….”

Useless pride.

Because of his pride, the Minister of National Defense was leading the country to destruction… but

he himself was completely unaware of this fact.

“Tsk, that’s enough. If you can’t do it, I’ll do it myself. “Prepare the helicopter right away.”

“Yes yes…?”

“Didn’t you hear? “I will go there myself.”

Secretary Monaghan left those words and immediately left the command room.

***

Highway 81 First Line of Defense.

“We must not give ourselves a chance to close the distance! “Keep attacking!”

bang-!!

Boom, kwagwagwang-!!

Numerous skills poured in non-stop between the local operations team and the International Association’s troops.

“Don’t spare your ammo!”

“Spend all the remaining ammunition!!”

Doo doo doo doo!!

Soldiers behind the defense line also continued to fire in check.

Of course, regular bullets couldn’t harm them, but they were enough to stop their advance.

A war of attrition that has already lasted 12 hours.

Even in subjugation, there have rarely been operations this long, so everyone was quite exhausted, but…

“The potion has arrived!”

“Are there currently any injuries?”

The temporary support facility headed by Director Lee Ah-young continues to send equipment, potions, and an emergency team consisting of priest classes.

“The emergency team has arrived. Switch positions between Team 1 and Team 2 and receive treatment. In the meantime, Team 2 continues to engage in combat.”

“yes yes!”

“All right!”

When I gave instructions to the operations team that was engaged, they moved without a single error.

Currently, we are divided into two teams and continue fighting at hourly intervals.

While one team engages, the other team receives treatment, healing, and simple buffs.

Afterwards, the positions were changed again.

The emergency team continues to tour other defense lines and repeat the same role.

In this way, we were able to attack continuously thanks to the simultaneous engagement and recovery.

On the other hand, the Lions Clubs International camp could only attack and could not recover.

No matter how outnumbered or outgunned you are, if you maintain this cycle, you can survive.

’12 hours to go….’

If we wait just 12 hours, WDSO headquarters personnel will arrive.

You can see the outcome then.

It’s important for us to just continue the war of attrition as much as possible and drain the opponent’s stamina.

That was the plan.

But…

‘…something is strange.’

The dynamics of the International Association camp have changed a little while ago.

Unlike before, where the more we attacked, the more fiercely they counterattacked, now they are just parrying our attacks.

They are even slowly moving their camp back.

A movement as if retreating little by little without being noticed.

No matter how impossible it is to recover, it’s unlikely that these people will have their stamina depleted to this extent…

‘I can’t believe there’s another plan…’

At that time, I continued to look at them with a very serious expression.

“What are you doing now!!”

A familiar voice came from behind.

I immediately turned my head.

“Who ordered the operation team now? “Evacuate immediately!”

“…Tsk.”

Sure enough, Minister Monaghan was striding towards me with a very horny face.

How did you come all the way here?

“Didn’t you hear?! “If we don’t withdraw immediately, we will disobey orders…!”

“You must have heard the news since you came here in person. “The German Association was merged into WDSO.”

“…!”

When I calmly opened my mouth, he hesitated for a moment.

Did you really think that if you just raised your voice loudly, I would obey you?

“The German Association is now a member of a completely independent international organization. And we are doing our part to protect the country and its citizens from the International Association of Nations, which classifies this as a serious act of national aggression.”

I looked straight at Secretary Monaghan and continued.

“So… there is no reason for us to follow the Minister’s orders.”

“….”

Soon his face crumpled.

“Don’t talk nonsense. It is an international organization, and this is clearly an act of sabotage of the state. “Withdraw now before everything gets thrown away!”

“Haa….”

I can’t understand.

‘This isn’t like talking to a monkey…’

I took a quick look at the current situation.

So far, we are holding out without any major problems, but if we withdraw like this, even Berlin will be breached at once.

If that happens, I won’t be able to use my hands anymore.

But ordering a withdrawal…

‘You don’t understand the situation at all…’

You idiot.

Do you even know that you are ruining the country?

“Minister Monaghan.”

At that time, Ensign Denver stepped forward and opened his mouth.

“What are you?”

“This is Ensign Denver, commander of the 3rd platoon of the 1st Company, 3rd Infantry Battalion, 1st Armored Division. “May I report the current situation on your behalf?”

Minister Monaghan’s eyes narrowed.

Ensign Denver began to report arbitrarily.

“So far we are engaged without any problems, but we believe that the current 30-member platoon cannot stop the advance. And I believe that this applies not only to the first line of defense, but to all lines of defense.”

“so?”

“If the operations team withdraws from here… it is only a matter of time before all defenses collapse. Please send reinforcements or withdraw the withdrawal request…”

“The ‘squall’ is being deployed now.”

“…yes?”

Lieutenant Denver’s eyebrows twitched at the unexpected story that Minister Monaghan brought up.

“If that is deployed, both the International Association and those with special abilities can stop it. So just hold on until then.”

“Oh no… we can’t last even 5 minutes…”

“Aren’t you fucking soldiers? “If you’re a soldier, you risk your life!”

“….”

This is absurd.

If I risk my life and hold on, will I be able to avoid any skills?

There is a separate person with a gun, but I also have to talk about mental theory while looking at the situation.

‘Wait a squall…?’

It’s a somewhat familiar name.

Where did I hear that before?…

Let me quickly search through my memories for a moment.

“if… Are you talking about Box Industries’ new cluster bomb?”

I asked, recalling a news story I saw before returning.

“…How do you know that?”

It was a perplexed expression.

Well… of course.

If I remember correctly, it’s a prototype that hasn’t even been announced yet.

‘Something I believed in… I never would have guessed that it was a missile worse than that toy.’

I burst out laughing without realizing it.

That’s right, before its return, ‘Squall’ was an item that left quite an embarrassing stigma as all warheads misexploded at the demonstration site.

“You’re asking! How do you know that…!”

“Minister. “If you really think you can stop someone with extraordinary abilities with just one missile, I think you should question your intelligence.”

Crash-.

As if to offend him, he held the pistol to my head.

“Say it one more time!”

“….”

He put his finger on the trigger.

I stared at him in silence for a moment.

“You’re stupid, ignorant, and inferior, Minister.”

The moment I raised the corners of my mouth and spit out those words.

bang-!

A single, ear-piercing gunshot rang out.
