“You you…!”

The final line of defense created after retreating to the vicinity of Berlin.

As soon as we arrived there, Minister Monaghan grabbed me by the collar, as expected.

“Is it you? “Did you say that kind of bullshit to Minister Vladimir?!”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t act like a fool! Do you think I can stay still?! I’m holding on to a lot of things too! “If I open my mouth…!”

“Minister!”

No, I’m not a minister anymore.

“Can you solve this situation?”

“…what what?”

“All of the squalls you were so confident in failed to happen. Thanks to your vehement opposition to intervention by other countries, we are unable to increase troops.”

I shook my head and continued.

“What do you do when you have a lot to hold on to? “There’s nothing you can do right now.”

“…!”

Minister Monaghan’s eyes fluttered.

“Do you know that people who are supposed to protect the country and its people are putting the country in danger for their own sake?”

“How dare you say something like that!”

“To be honest, whether you destroy Germany or not is none of my business. But at least you shouldn’t interfere with my work.”

He interrupted him and spoke calmly.

“Whether you open your mouth or not is up to you. If you have no ability, skill, or shame, just get out of the way. “Because it’s a problem.”

As I passed him and stepped forward,

I heard some swear words coming from behind, but that only lasted for a moment.

“Minister Monaghan.”

“I need you to come with me.”

“What is it? Don’t you let this go?! You guys don’t fucking know who I am?! “Let go of this!!”

The military police showed up right away and started to take him away.

Of course, he couldn’t just follow along, so he continued to struggle.

“If you continue to refuse to accompany me, I will arrest you.”

“What what…?!”

“Handcuff me.”

In the end, he was forcibly taken away in an ugly manner.

Well, it will be obvious without even looking at what measures will be taken in the future.

With that thought in mind, I moved my gaze forward.

‘Anyway…’

The situation is more serious than I thought.

The first line of defense has long since been breached.

It will not take less than 30 minutes to advance to this last resort.

If even here is breached, Berlin will be next.

We have to end here somehow.

“First, please move to your respective positions.”

I opened my mouth to the local operation team that accompanied me.

“We must prepare everything possible for a surprise aerial interception of traps. When all-out war begins, no matter what class you are in, you must maintain your camp no matter what.”

“All right!”

“yes!”

“Of course, you don’t have to push yourself too hard. “It is a battle at a disadvantage from the beginning, both in terms of personnel and firepower, so we just have to hold out until the headquarters troops arrive.”

I immediately took a deep breath.

“And from now on… I will take command.”

With those words, everyone started moving in unison.

All regular troops moved to the rear of the defense line, and close positions, including the Guardian class, camped at the front line.

All ranged positions, including the wizard class, were calculating the interception distance from the center of the defense line. All other personnel began checking equipment and transporting supplies.

So everyone prepared for their roles without saying a word, and soon enough.

“…You’re here.”

From afar, a huge number of silhouettes began to come into view.

“hey! Come to your senses!”

A voice that scratches my nerves even though I’m unconscious.

Chloe slowly opened her eyes at the sound calling her and soon saw a blurry image.

As the focus gradually returned, the face of the person who woke him up became clearly visible.

“Are you okay?! How on earth did this happen…!”

“…It’s coming quickly.”

It was none other than Lee Ah-young, head of the support headquarters.

“Are you laughing now?! “That arm…!”

“Stop making a fuss. “It would have been okay if I hadn’t died.”

Chloe answered, forcing herself to stand up.

Then he checked his right arm.

His forearm was cut off and wrapped in bandages.

Seeing that there was no bleeding or pain, it seemed like the priest class provided first aid.

‘Tsk…’

But Chloe’s reaction was quite calm.

He just clicked his tongue once and immediately looked at where he was.

I obviously lost consciousness in the middle of the defense line, but somehow I woke up to find myself inside a shabby tent.

“This place…?”

When I asked Director Lee Ah-young, she answered with a very serious expression.

“This is a temporary medical unit behind the final defense line. I couldn’t afford to move it to a nearby city, so I brought it here in a hurry. “The priest class just gave me first aid.”

“Final line of defense? Isn’t there an order to withdraw? “I think Secretary Monaghan said he would take overall command.”

Chloe made a puzzled expression, recalling the voice she heard the moment she lost consciousness.

But even for a moment.

“I was just fired. “Minister Monaghan.”

“…?”

“And wartime operational control was transferred to WDSO.”

She quietly closed her eyes at the very unexpected news.

I don’t think I lost consciousness that long… but I wondered what had happened in the meantime.

But I didn’t bother to ask.

Even if you didn’t see it, Kim Jun-woo wouldn’t have moved.

That would have been enough time to turn the situation around.

“So what happened?”

Chloe asked about the current situation instead of the past.

“First of all, the first line of defense has been breached. Lions Clubs International continues to advance along Route 52.”

“Kim Jun-woo…?”

“I am at the scene with the local operations team. The headquarters troops will arrive in just three hours, so I will personally stop them until then…”

“No.”

Then Chloe cut her off and shook her head.

“Wesley personally participated in the war. “No matter how much Kim Jun-woo is, that number of people can’t last even 30 minutes, let alone 3 hours.”

“yes yes…?”

“First, I will go myself…”

Chloe tried to get up from the bed with those words, but Director Lee Ah-young immediately stopped her.

“You can’t move! Don’t you know what the condition is like over there right now?! “I gave first aid, but I need to go to the hospital right away and get proper treatment!”

“….”

Director Lee Ah-young raised his voice with great excitement.

Then Chloe made a very puzzled expression.

“Are you worried about me now?”

“…No, if he dies here, I will have to take charge of Eclipse again.”

“I thought you hated me?”

“….”

I hope Director Lee Ah-young will spare the answer for a moment.

“do not like it.”

He continued speaking with a very serious expression.

“I don’t like it… but that doesn’t mean I want it to die.”

“….”

Chloe raised her eyebrows in response.

Although I didn’t like the quite surprising answer.

“After all, you are non-combat personnel. What can I do now? “Don’t panic for no reason and just get treatment.”

“….”

That didn’t last long either.

“…So what do you plan on doing?”

Chloe, who returned to her expressionless expression, immediately asked.

“Even if, just by chance, we manage to stop the advance until the headquarters troops arrive, what happens next? “You don’t think WDSO can win against a thoroughly prepared Lions Clubs International force, do you?”

“….”

“Of course, I admit that they are quite talented people, including Kim Jun-woo. But… even if we prepare thoroughly, it will be difficult to stop them in a situation where we lack personnel, supplies, and preparations, right?”

It was an accurate judgment.

Director Lee Ah-young also seemed to have the same thoughts and did not answer for a moment.

“…there is a way.”

But even for a moment.

I looked straight at Chloe and opened my mouth.

“There is a possibility if you use anti-neungseok.”

“…Banneungseok?”

At the same time, Director Lee Ah-young’s eyes sparkled.

“Just in case, I asked you to bring Banneungseok to the dispatched headquarters personnel. “If we use anti-neungseok like you did, it will be possible with the limited number of people.”

“Have you ever processed it?”

“Once before. “It was a small amount, though.”

“It can’t even be compared to that, right? As the amount of processing increases, the probability that bank items will explode increases exponentially, and the bank items themselves may be destroyed. Even if we succeed in processing it, it is unclear whether we will be able to successfully commercialize it…”

“I will take care of that.”

Director Lee Ah-young answered, interrupting her.

And then.

“Practical application is my specialty. Instead… they will take care of processing the bank items.”

I heard words that made me believe my ears.

“So now… you’re asking me to help you? sincerely?”

“what. “I still thought they were the best in the world when it came to bank items, but I guess they weren’t?”

“…It’s ridiculous.”

“So will I help you or not?”

“….”

Soon, Chloe let out a chuckle.

“Don’t get in my way.”

With those words, he raised the corners of his mouth.

***

Route 52.

All the troops of the Lions Clubs International advancing along that road.

Secretary General Wesley continued walking without saying a word.

His expressionless face looked like he was in deep thought.

In fact, advancing to Berlin on foot was a fairly inefficient method.

If I processed the dimensional stone, I could create a dimensional passage, so I could head straight to Berlin.

No, even if you don’t have to go that far, there are plenty of more convenient means of transportation.

Nevertheless, the reason I chose to advance to Berlin on foot was largely due to a performance aspect.

okay.

This war is not a fight for mutual gain, but a warning to the entire world.

Therefore, this side is the most effective.

Because we can show in real time the destruction wherever we walk.

So far, everything is going according to plan.

‘…’

Nonetheless, Secretary General Wesley still had a stern expression.

Although I was always prepared for just such an emergency, honestly, even a year ago, I never thought there would be an all-out war.

He also never expected that the day would come when he would make such an extreme choice.

And that’s just because of one former janitor.

‘Kim Jun-woo…’

Secretary General Wesley quietly muttered his name.

Now that I’ve come this far, I can’t help but feel it.

In the end, all of this will end when one of them dies.

So, whether you like it or not, if Kim Jun-woo must be killed, it should be today.

“Secretary General.”

While I was deep in thought, the radio rang from Kate, the assistant secretary who was in the lead.

“There is a defense line in front.”

“…again?”

“It looks like this is the final line of defense…”

She cautiously opened her mouth after a moment to let her words slip.

“It looks like Kim Jun-woo has returned.”

“…Wait a moment.”

Secretary-General Wesley stopped all troops.

And then he headed to the lead alone.

Eventually, we left the camp and faced the defense line.

“Long time no see. Secretary General.”

Kim Jun-woo recognized me from afar and greeted me first.

However, Secretary-General Wesley did not respond but first looked at the troops on the defense line.

Then he smiled and opened his mouth.

“Are you sure you plan to stop us with that number of people?”

“It can’t be. “No matter how good I am, will I be able to win against the International Association?”

“Even though you say that, the look in your eyes seems like you’re thinking about ending here?”

As Secretary General Wesley spoke, Kim Jun-woo slightly raised his eyebrows.

And soon.

“I plan to finish the story I couldn’t finish back then, here today…”

[Unique Skill: Demon King]

A black air current began to flow from Kim Jun-woo’s whole body.

“How would you like us to hang out together?”

“….”

Secretary General Wesley hesitated to answer.

“Well… educating children who don’t even know the topic is my specialty.”

[Unique Skill: Creation of Heaven and Earth]

The corners of his mouth went up.
