Chapter 82
Episode 82
Buckingham, England.
“What do you mean!”
“First of all… I think we need to evacuate.”
“Is that what you should say as prime minister? “A lot of people are fighting to protect their country right now.”
The Prime Minister bowed his head with a sad expression at the Queen’s words.
“The first line of defense has been breached. We are building a secondary cordon… but now that the airspace has already been taken over by Wyverns, monsters will flood into the city before we can build a cordon.”
“If it is a city….”
“The damage area is at least a 200km radius. “If you’re not careful, this place can be dangerous.”
The Queen’s face became thoughtful at the Prime Minister’s words.
The cool-headedness I tried to maintain until the end collapsed in the face of the hopeless situation that unfolded before my eyes.
“Evacuation of citizens…?”
“I’m doing my best, but…”
Hearing his despairing words, the Queen placed her face with both hands.
It was then.
▶ The iron golem has been defeated!
▶ All summoned golems stop working.
A notification ringing in their head.
And it didn’t just resonate with those two people.
“Wow, the wyverns are retreating…!!”
“…I lived. “I survived!!”
Troops on the city front lines of each country began to shout in relief as the wyverns suddenly began to retreat and the golems stopped.
“This is…”
The Prime Minister, who had a blank expression for a moment, hurriedly turned on the monitor. In contrast to the pure joy on the front lines, the Prime Minister and other representatives of each country looked at the monitor with expressions of disbelief.
“Sa… did you survive?”
The Prime Minister let out a sigh he had been holding in.
“What happened to Alek Traman?”
“It must have been reported, but there has been no reply yet. “We are currently out of contact.”
Queen Elizabeth’s face hardened at the Prime Minister’s report.
“It was a crisis for the survival of Britain. But are you saying that you are now acting on your own without permission, in violation of the royal family’s orders?”
“Nothing has been confirmed. “Of the three Revelators, only one, Den Howl, returned from the Red Zone.”
The Prime Minister expressed his disapproval in response to the Queen’s question.
“STW’s Aira Michel, who has recovery abilities, is also said to be out of contact.”
“Does that mean… there might be a problem in the red zone as well?”
“yes. It seems impossible to vaguely question him. Well, that is only possible after returning.”
“Phew… I understand. After all, Alec is Britain’s only hope. “I hope you come back safely.”
Although she said that, she could feel calm anger in the Queen’s appearance as she bit her lip.
“It appears that India, which was preparing to launch an atomic bomb, canceled it right before.”
The Prime Minister lifted the pad and checked the reports coming in in real time.
“It seems that many countries that had abandoned the city and retreated are gathering again.”
He clicked his tongue.
“…In the end, we lost the player to Korea again this time.”
“Does that matter? “For now, you should be thankful that you survived.”
The Prime Minister nodded as if he had no choice but to acknowledge the Queen’s words.
“I think the whole world will pay more attention to Korea in the future.”
“no. “It must be that person, not Korea.”
She spoke in a low voice as she looked at Namgung, who was standing over the golem’s corpse lying on the ruined dock.
-korea! The monster invasion is repelled by just one person!
-The hero who single-handedly hunted down the golem turns out to be Namgung, one of the eight Agent Clan contractors…
-Praise for Korea’s feat of preventing the invasion of citizens around the world!
-On the contrary, he sends strong criticism to those who were silent…
“It seems that the drones flying at that time belonged to reporters, not the government. Anyway, the smell is amazing. “I should have dropped it.”
Changhwan, who was checking the breaking news coming from inside the tactical vehicle, looked at Namgung and said.
“Is it really okay for me to post something without permission? Who was the first spreader? this.”
Not only the content of the article, but even the image of him fighting was captured and uploaded on video.
“Kukkyung Ilbo Han Ji-hee? Where is the National Daily? “It looks like a local daily I’ve never heard of… I think I’ll report it to the higher-ups and get them banned.”
‘…Han Ji-hee?’
Unlike Changhwan, who raised his voice, Namgung slightly raised his eyebrows when he heard the name.
“It’s a name I’ve heard of…”
The name that seemed familiar was none other than the name I saw in an article I read while visiting Mandeoksu the other day.
“ah. okay.”
The only reporter who wrote his own article in a situation where the stories of the three revelers, including Alec, were plastered all over the place.
“Hmm…”
It was a name I didn’t pay any attention to at the time.
However, when it was mentioned again in this situation, Namgung felt that the name was strangely engraved in his mind.
“Don’t do anything useless. What is wrong with a reporter writing an article? On the contrary, it worked out well for us. “Thanks to you, attention has been focused on us.”
The United States and the United Kingdom, which had repeatedly published reports to attract public attention, were no longer able to publish any articles.
The invasion ended without Den Howl, who returned from the Red Zone, doing anything, and the other two people could not hear any news.
I literally became a dog chasing a chicken.
‘As expected, Alec did not return from the red zone. I guess they decided to join hands with Aira Michel and attack the red zone.’
Although it was a past life, it was a natural result for Namgoong, who knew Aira Michel well.
‘What is a relief organization and who is a saint? This is a woman who swallowed a truckload of snakes.’
Even if the whole world was threatened, she would not have cared, as it was more important for her to become stronger.
‘They’ll probably make an excuse that it’s because they believed in the remaining revelators.’
In that sense, his report was unexpected, but it was a pretty good harvest as it caused a crack in Alec and Eira’s reputation.
“It’s not over yet. “I said it before, but golems are just sentinels.”
Namgung looked at the clock.
[00:03:00]
3 minutes remaining.
It was a close call, but fortunately I was able to catch the golem before the serpent was summoned.
‘Even so for Alec and Eira, it’s fortunate that Den Howl was able to return.’
If you do not catch the golem in time and the Serpent is summoned, the portal connecting the red zone and the continent will close.
This will cause the red zone to be disconnected.
India was not the only country that could not withstand the third monster wave and dropped the atomic bomb.
‘The United States also… boldly gave up several cities.’
However, since Den Howl has returned, at least we will not lose hope even if monsters appear again.
Pick –
As the remaining 3 minutes passed, the blue portals spread out here and there began to disappear.
Kugggggggg….
The sky turned red and black clouds hung over the entire sky, indicating that the boss monster in the red zone would be summoned.
‘…request.’
Namgung thought as he stared out the window in the direction of the red zone, which he couldn’t see.
‘After one hour after the Serpent is summoned, the golems that have stopped functioning are materialized and a real boss monster is summoned to the continent.’
That was also the reason why Namgung destroyed the golem and did not enter the portal that was still open.
‘We’ve all experienced Serpent… so we have no choice but to trust the children. From the orcs that are summoned next, the level of difficulty becomes completely different.’
So before that…
you have to catch the boss monster summoned here.
Tu… Tu….
-Yes. This is Park Hyo-joo.
Namgoong asked as she heard her voice coming from the satellite phone.
“Are you ready?”
-It’s done.
Even as the world cried out in relief that it had survived the monster invasion, he was already preparing his next plan.
* * *
“Are you here?”
The commanders in the temporary operation control room set up at Pohang City Hall stood up and saluted at the appearance of Namgung.
“It’s done. “It’s not my business.”
“No one will be able to refute that it is wrong to salute Namgung. “This is not a courtesy to a superior, but a sign of gratitude.”
The stocky man standing in the center extended his hand toward Namgung.
“This is Lieutenant General Kim Dae-seong, who is in charge of commanding this operation. Rather, I also want to salute.”
“it’s okay.”
When I held his hand, I felt a power that was stronger than just physical strength.
‘It looks like you have strength-related qualities. I think he’s at least intermediate level… I guess he only has a rank insignia with a pattern like Chang-Hwan said.’
Namgung looked at Lieutenant General Kim Dae-seong.
He said that after the disbandment of Unit 711, which he led in the past, Lieutenant General Kim Dae-seong was the only person who took in Kim Chang-hwan, who remained on active duty.
‘Having one’s own skills means that one is strong in actual combat as well.’
In order to catch the boss of this monster wave, unlike other times, it was necessary to establish a command system.
‘Anyone can see that this could be a reckless battle. Although we received permission from the Prime Minister, the military is separate.’
It was important to figure out whether Lieutenant General Kim Dae-seong would have the strength to fight alongside him.
“I don’t want to pour cold water on it, but it’s still too early to be happy. “Because the golem stopped working is simply to buy time.”
At Namgung’s words, the faces of the senior officers in the control room, including the lieutenant general, hardened.
“Does that mean the monsters will attack again? “Is that because the red zone remains?”
“It is true that the third Hell Gate will disappear only if you kill the boss monster in the red zone.”
Namgung answered.
“But regardless, even if the door is closed, the monsters summoned around the world will remain and continue to attack our territory.”
“Then wouldn’t it be better to quickly attack the red zone and bring in the talented people remaining there?”
“It’s impossible. “The monster invasion will begin again before we capture the boss of the red zone.”
“Hmm…”
The lieutenant general let out a low sigh in response.
“Do not be discouraged. Even in the red zone, there is reliable power. “What we have to do is one hour from now.”
Namgung looked at the clock.
“No, we need to discuss how to hunt the boss monster that will be summoned again in 53 minutes.”
He spoke to the deputy standing next to him.
“A map.”
The adjutant nodded, turned on the screen, and a satellite map appeared.
“If even one of the golems summoned in the world is destroyed, all golems stop and a new golem using them is summoned. That is the real boss monster of this monster wave.”
“Is that true?”
“yes. “There is separate information given only to the person who destroyed the golem.”
Of course, it was just information from a previous life.
It was a lie, but people had no choice but to believe Namgung’s words, who single-handedly destroyed the golem.
“Then… do you know where you are being summoned?”
Namgung shook his head.
“I don’t know where I will be summoned.”
This was because in my previous life, the golem was destroyed in the United States, one of the cities that exploded the atomic bomb.
The future that had changed was something that Namgung could not figure out from his memories.
“Then… what should I do?”
“It’s human to not know what’s ahead, but… “Sometimes there are people who can see ahead.”
“…yes?”
Jeeeeee….
It was that time.
The satellite phone on the table rang.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the phone and they looked at Namgoong with a nervous expression.
-This is Erika Ninigawa.
A low voice is heard over the phone.
She was a revealer with a unique vision of the future.
“What about Yeji?”
-I saw it, but….
“Just tell me the place.”
Namgung cut her off.
Such a powerful enemy.
It is a situation where victory cannot be expected, or perhaps she saw Namgung’s defeat in the future.
“Because the future you saw is not absolute.”
-…All right.
As always, Namgoong was the only one who twisted the future he saw.
-The last battlefield….
Erica answered his words.
-busan.
At that moment, Namgung slowly raised his head.
