Bang!

A single, ear-piercing gunshot.

It was a literal expression, not a metaphor.

A bullet passed by my ear and blood was flowing from my torn ear.

“….”

“….”

I continued to glare at Secretary Monaghan without moving a single inch.

He also still didn’t put his gun away and was aiming it at my head.

Soon, the eyes of everyone except the fighting troops were focused on us.

Lieutenant Denver also seemed very embarrassed by the sudden gunfire, frozen in place and just rolled his eyes and looked at us.

“…You just opened fire on an employee of an international organization dispatched to support the conflict.”

I opened my mouth calmly.

Then Minister Monaghan snorted.

“so?”

“Can you take responsibility for what you just did?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. You were the one who disobeyed the Minister of Defense’s orders and acted on your own. “I have no reason to take responsibility.”

“….”

The argument becomes incoherent.

I didn’t even feel like continuing the conversation any longer.

“And honestly, I don’t think there’s any need for support anymore?”

“…What do you mean by that?”

“Look at me. “Isn’t that already retreating?”

Minister Monaghan pointed straight ahead with his finger.

As he said, instead of advancing further, the Lions Clubs International troops continued to retreat little by little.

But I’m not sure if that’s really good news.

“It may not be a retreat, but rather an attempt to avoid a pointless war of attrition and focus firepower elsewhere. This is a rather dangerous situation…”

“Hey you bastard, what do you say you know?”

“…haha.”

I couldn’t help but laugh and shake my head at the suffocating conversation.

“All right. If that’s what the Minister really means…”

He continued, looking directly at Minister Monaghan.

“I’ll do whatever you want.”

At the same time, he turned his back and raised his voice towards the entire combat team.

“The entire operation team is withdrawing.”

“Yes yes?!”

“Withdrawal…?!”

“If we withdraw, the defense line will be…!”

“Please withdraw.”

Sure enough, the operations team immediately raised objections, but I spoke firmly nonetheless.

Eventually, all operations teams stopped fighting and stood up.

“let’s go.”

“….”

“….”

He led them and started walking.

done.

I have no reason to help you anymore.

How can you help a guy who is begging you to get out of here right away when getting down on your knees and begging isn’t enough?

Let them take care of it….

“Emergency situation at the third defense line on Route 52!”

“Minister Monaghan!!”

That was the moment when we turned our backs on each other.

My radio and Secretary Monaghan’s radio rings rang at the same time.

“Currently, Lions Clubs International troops are continuing to gather at the 3rd defense line!”

“A total of 11 Squall units have now been deployed!”

The moment each situation was relayed, Minister Monaghan smiled and my expression hardened.

“It’s over.”

“It’s okay….”

The situation we both accepted was completely opposite.

***

Route 52 Third Defense Line.

“….”

“….”

All of the platoon troops, including the operations team, stopped fighting and just stared straight ahead with a devastated expression.

Before we knew it, the Lions Clubs International’s forces, which had numbered only a few hundred, had grown to thousands.

‘Something happened…’

Chloe, who was in charge of the third line of defense, also sighed at the situation.

It seems that they decided that breaking through all five defense lines at the same time would be very costly in terms of time and physical strength.

Therefore, they are changing the plan and concentrating their forces in one place to try to break through.

‘Why…’

Here it is.

I would rather go to the defense line where Kim Jun-woo is.

Chloe resented her luck for being chosen as one of the fifth.

But there was a bigger disaster than the influx of troops.

“See you here.”

Familiar silhouettes and voices.

“Long time no see. Team leader Chloe.”

It was none other than Secretary General Wesley himself, accompanied by reinforced troops.

“Ha….

”

Chloe, who made eye contact with him, smiled and murmured.

“Still, you worked with us for a long time, but I never thought you’d get stabbed in the back like that overnight. “It’s quite disappointing.”

“I am just an office worker. Just think of it as a change of job with better conditions.”

“Then it will just come out smoothly. Why did you leak this information?”

“….”

Chloe clicked her tongue.

Then Secretary General Wesley opened his mouth again.

“And… are you sure it’s a better deal? “I heard you’re working on the cleaning team?”

“…Because it’s a probationary period.”

“Then, if we offer better conditions, would you consider coming back?”

Secretary General Wesley took a step forward and asked.

Is that appeasement or a threat?

Or is it just a meaningless joke?

If you run into a man you had to avoid at all costs, you will never die well.

But if I accept that offer here… wouldn’t I be able to live?

‘Or maybe I should just think about it…’

All kinds of miscellaneous thoughts cluttered Chloe’s head.

But that only lasted a moment.

okay.

In any case, it was expected that he might die from the moment he ran away from the International Association.

Nevertheless, the reason he gambled with his life was because he judged that it would be less dangerous to make that man his enemy than to have Kim Jun-woo as his enemy.

And it’s still the same now.

If it’s the Kim Jun-woo you’ve seen so far…

it’s worth betting your life on.

The moment I thought about it, my mind started to feel cold, as if cold water had been poured on it.

Chloe eventually regained her composure and raised the corners of her mouth.

“Fuck you.”

He raised his middle finger toward Secretary General Wesley.

And that moment.

[Unique skill: Creation of heaven and earth]

[Creates a unique space of 11 dimensions.]

Suddenly―.

Her right arm is gone.

“Bwaaaaah!!”

A terrible scream echoed at the same time.

A pain that was so mind-numbing engulfed my entire body.

“No matter how much you hate me, what kind of manners is that to your former boss?”

“Queuuuuuu…!!”

There was no sound in her ears anymore.

Hyperventilation that came with massive bleeding.

At the same time, my vision became increasingly distant and my consciousness began to blur.

While I was struggling to regain my senses and barely manage to let out a moan of pain, I heard one word.

“Advance.”

With Secretary General Wesley’s instructions, an all-out attack began.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

us us us pattern, elements of the theory and his/her name.

Is it karma?

In my clouded consciousness, such a thought suddenly occurred to me.

In fact, no matter how much you do as you are told, mistakes do not go away.

‘Still…’

In the end, it was all done to survive.

But wouldn’t it be so unfair to die like this?

Even with those thoughts, I couldn’t help my eyes that kept closing.

The moment I lost consciousness like that.

“Is everyone okay?”

A man’s voice was heard.

At the same time, consciousness returned in an instant.

She mustered up her remaining strength and raised her head.

The silhouettes of numerous people could be vaguely seen in the distance.

A man at the forefront.

Did Kim Jun-woo come?

She smiled without realizing it.

Chloe forced her eyes to open her eyes and looked up, and then what caught her eye was…

“It’s not much, but it’s a fuss.”

“….”

It was none other than Minister Monaghan.

“Everyone, I’m here so don’t worry. From now on, I will take command myself.”

“Shit… foot…”

I feel like my blood is rushing backwards.

“Why… why did you…”

I spat out the words with difficulty, but I was unable to continue until the end and lost consciousness.

***

“Withdrawal! “What do you mean!”

Immediately after the withdrawal order was issued.

All local operation teams protecting each defense line gathered at the assembly point.

At the same time, Director Lee Ah-young approached me with an excited voice.

“Didn’t you hear the radio?! Troops are converging on Chloe’s defense line! Moreover, judging from the lack of contact, it looks like we haven’t even been able to withdraw yet. If we don’t help now, we could be in real trouble…!”

“Minister Monaghan has gone there now.”

“yes…?”

Director Lee Ah-young’s eyebrows twitched.

I continued calmly.

“I heard that they had deployed a new missile, whether it was a squall or something, so I felt a strain on my shoulders. Well, the fact that they even threatened to kill me if I didn’t withdraw shows that they are quite confident. “It will be taken care of.”

“….”

Her eyes narrowed at my words.

“You really don’t think that missiles can solve the problem…?”

Eventually, a sharp voice returned.

I felt like I knew why what was coming next.

“If you really think so….”

“I know. “That doesn’t make sense.”

Did I stick around too long?

It seems like his way of speaking is becoming similar to mine.

“Then why are you trying to withdraw?”

“There is no way.”

He sighed heavily and said in response to her sharp question.

“In the current situation, of course we must ignore the withdrawal order and continue fighting. That way, we can buy the minimum amount of time until the headquarters troops arrive.”

“Yes.”

“But… there’s no way Minister Monaghan would just sit by and watch that happen.”

“….”

“This is a guy who couldn’t get over his anger and even pointed a gun at me. However, if you continue to ignore orders, it will likely lead to internal strife. Then, greater damage will occur.”

As I spoke, Director Lee Ah-young’s eyes fell.

“Then it would be better to just…”

“You wouldn’t want to kill the Minister of Defense.”

“…Unless it doesn’t work out.”

I have to say something that makes sense.

Is there any reason to go to war while trying to prevent war?

“So what are you going to do now? Are you really going to withdraw like this? “Chloe hasn’t even retreated yet, are you leaving her alone?”

“Haa….”

He sighed and scratched his head.

If we really withdraw like this, all of our troops will be annihilated.

I also know that very well.

But if the Minister of National Defense is preventing intervention like that… Holding on recklessly may actually make the situation worse.

It has become a situation where I can’t do this or that.

Even at this moment of worry, the International Association continues to advance.

If the defense line is breached and Berlin falls, the whole world will be in complete chaos.

Citizens will fall into chaos, and a vague fear of the International Association will spread deep throughout the world.

Everything goes as the association wants.

Then you will no longer have any justification to stand against the International Association.

‘Fuck, really…’

I chewed until my teeth broke.

What on earth should I do?

What can you do in this situation?

What should you choose?

That time when my mind was pounding.

Ringing -.

My cell phone rang.

It was a call from none other than Secretary General Park In-beom.

“grow. “Is the situation okay?”

“…It’s the worst.”

When I opened my mouth with difficulty, I heard a sound of laughter.

“I thought so. “Is Minister Monaghan interfering?”

“How did you know that?”

“Since then, I have been the president of the association for nearly 30 years. “I know the situation of most government officials.”

“….”

I answered with silence instead.

Because I couldn’t figure out what he was trying to say.

I wondered if Hansi was trying to brag about his connections in an urgent situation, but…

“In other words, the guy who colluded with Minister Monaghan is also well aware of it.”

“… Yes?”

“Minister Vladimir. Russian Minister of Defense. As far as I know, I’ve been working with that guy for nearly 10 years…”

Secretary General Park In-beom, who trailed off for a moment, then continued speaking again.

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be time to switch to someone else?”

“…What do you want to say?”

“If I connect you with Minister Vladimir… can you try to persuade him?”

I felt a spark fly in my head.

“Let’s kick it here, Minister Monaghan.”

“….”

Only then did a smile begin to spread across my face.

“That’s good.”
