The Returner

“What's the hit?”

Song Jung-soo raised his voice.

“It went right in. ”

“What's the damage? ”

“I did a good distance calculation and I blew it. The army is retreating backwards, so it shouldn't be a problem. Talents aren't hit by that much heat. ”

“Being able doesn't mean you're physically superior. ”

“Isn't that why you put KSFs in the rear? by placing the maximum power at the front. ”

“Mmmm... ”

Song Jung-soo nodded in a statement from the Secretary of Defense. I don't like the idea of putting the strongest power at the front, but there was no room for him, not an expert.

The commanding officer explained that if you build something from weak to weak, it will collapse like a domino. I'm not sure I understand, but what would he say as a non-specialist if they did?

“It still looks dangerous. ”

“It's not a direct hit. I calculated the distance and I landed in the back. Don't worry, we're looking at it from over here. ”

“Well, I see. ”

Song Jung-soo nods.

Compared to the original dissonance, trust in each other has now been built upon. At least it was Song's idea to avoid the worst if he kept it that he shouldn't be allowed to do so.

“I'll leave it to you. Do your best." ”

“Yes, I will do my best. ”

There was no guarantee that it would have a good outcome, but at least I didn't want to leave any regrets.

“The civilians?”

“We can't all enter the shelter. We pushed it back around the coast for a while. ”

“... You're good at following orders. ”

“Victory of civic consciousness. ”

Song Jung-soo nods.

“Tell him to fire his weapon properly. They're definitely not going to end up like this. ”

“Yes, I'll keep that in mind. ”

Song Jong-soo froze his face, looking at the screen.

‘I will do everything I can. ’

Whatever it is.

* * *

“It's crowded.”

The ceremony whistled at the crowd. The shelter is empty. All I could do was tremble in anxiety inside the building or outside the temporary tent.

And most people couldn't even get inside the tent, so they sat on the side of the road.

It was natural that the large population of the Republic of Korea was beaten into this, lacking accommodation.

At this point, the complaint is worth spreading, but strangely no one has vomited.

‘Because everyone knows. ’

Now was not the time to discuss discomfort. In front of the crisis of life, inconvenience is a minor problem.

Rumors were faster than anything, and no one knew where they came from, but everyone knew that the battle today ruled the fate of mankind.

Immature children occasionally vomited complaints, but it was neatly organized by rapid suppression of adults.

I know.

All they can do now is hold on to it.

The sound of a subtle bombing from a distance is causing people to flinch.

“Whatever it is, I hope it comes to a conclusion. ”

Choi Chang Ceremony sighed.

Who doesn't know it's better to survive the war somehow than to die?

But now I'm tired enough to think that I want a conclusion whether I live or die.

Boom!

As the sound of the thunder approaches, people's gaze shifts to one side. The children burst into tears with thunder.

‘Jihyuk. ’

I looked forward with my eyes filled with anxiety.

You can win, right? ’

* * *

“Europe?”

“We're stopping them. ”

“But you still pay for it. ”

There is not yet any proper aggression. It was a notion of an outbreak, but the problem was that the outbreak was more intense than any other situation.

“Don't look back. ”

“Yes!”

Looking at the gates covered in flames, Christopher was unable to conceal his anxiety.

‘The Demon Kings haven't stepped up yet. ’

If so, you must preserve your talents. We don't know how many feet of nuclear power are falling into our territory. At this rate, those in front should be prepared for serious exposure, but Christopher ignored it.

It's better than dying.

I don't know how the history of the future will evaluate him, but it is worth remembering whether he will be branded as the worst son of a bitch in history.

“M ― 3 How is the additional deployment going? ”

“We're pulling it up as soon as it's shipped. We're still filling up! ”

“Hurry!”

“Yes!”

The M-3 from the factory was a test and was joining the front line immediately. After risking his life and gathering all of America's power, M-3 was literally gushing out.

Not only did they replenish all of the missing M-3 in just one day, but they accumulated nearly three times as many. I am not satisfied with it and continue to fill it.

‘I wish it could work for the Demon King...' ’

What saddens Christopher is that no matter what it takes, he has no means to defeat the Demon King. If we could somehow find a way to deal with the Demon King in public, we could reduce the burden on our abilities....

“I feel like I'm taking over the gazelles. ”

Christopher didn't like hero movies.

The military was a bridesmaid, a few of whom showed up laughing at the fact that they solved everything and fought the most important battle.

Most of the villains in the movie can be solved with one sniper rifle. None of the monsters will be bombed and alive.

Seeing a movie about how you can't beat those guys, it might be fun.

But now Christopher felt like an incompetent policeman in that movie. An incompetent monarch who can't help but expect to be a hero.

It was miserable and angry, but it was true.

“And the Greek tragedy is that he's the hero you have to believe in. ”

Christopher sighed as he saw the Alpha on the screen.

I admit it.

Ability is admittedly... Even in a world where dark heroes are the next generation, the density of darkness is too high.

Dark heroes are bad characters, not criminals. A situation where we have to trust the worst criminals of humanity... No matter how friendly our enemies are, this was too severe a scenario.

“What's the situation?”

“I'm catching a tribe coming out of the gate. Korea is also doing a good job defending itself. It looks like the M-3 that you applied for is working. ”

“Good for you.”

A new advantage of returning NDF and U.S. capabilities is the freedom of movement of supplies. Without them, it would have taken more than a full day to transport the M ‐ 3 produced in the United States to the ship.

However, thanks to the return of teleporters capable of handling large volumes, they were able to ship M-3 and move to the battlefield and Korea at the same time.

“But Europe has moved on to the Hundred Disease Stage. ”

“... I'll be crushed soon. ”

I felt a little guilty. Even if we had supported Europe to some extent, things would not have been pushed back as they are now. But I have to choose and focus.

“If we can't all survive, we have to live with ourselves. ”

As Christopher was about to open his mouth, he heard an urgent voice.

“Got something weird on the radar. ”

“What?"

“Hey, here! ”

Christopher was surprised to see the screen change. Behind the bombing zone, red dots are coming in hundreds or thousands of units.

“What is that? ”

“It's like an airplane! ”

“Fly?"

Christopher's face distorted.

Among the monsters, there were no flying monsters. But we haven't seen much of it lately, so we thought there would be a lot of terrestrial life on the other side of the fence, and this is how it came to be.

The two-dimensional combat on earth and the three-dimensional combat in which the sky is incorporated into the battlefield are completely different.

“Deploy air force now, deploy surface-to-air firepower! Slide it in front of the Convergence and form a network! Now!”

“Yes!”

Christopher said that everyone was getting busy.

“Not yet... yet. ”

Christopher's anxious face began to remind him of the time when abilities were put in.

“You're getting the hang of it.”

“I know. ”

The shadows watch the battle between mankind and the beasts on one side of the battlefield.

“What the hell was Barvache thinking? ”

“Who knows what his deep intentions are? ”

They call him the Demon King, but he was different from them.

He was the Demon King and lived in fear of the Demon Kings before they could yet be called the Demon King.

“I don't know why you're wasting your time like this, sweeping away all the humans. ”

“You have to collect a lot of wealth energy. ”

“Hehe.”

A man shaped like a giant scorpion shakes his head.

“Boltum, I don't understand. If you have to conserve wealth energy, it's enough to cruelly kill humans. ”

“So you don't get sustained energy. ”

“Then we can invade another world. veraphs.”

“… so is that. ”

It was full of energy.

‘When this battle is over, we will be stronger. ’

They are creatures made of Mana. The strength depends on the depth of Mana's density. The energy from the humans of this world has strengthened their mana.

Opening the door to Beraph shouldn't be too difficult if we can keep up with this pace. Then the fall of Beraf, who had been their long-suffering master, was also imminent.

“The humans here have given us so much. And in return, I'll give you a painless death. ”

“... I thought you said killing was cruel? ”

“That's a concern. What should I do? ”

“Don't worry about it. ”

The Demon Kings quietly turn their heads to the voice behind their backs. A white-haired human walks slowly towards them.

“Worry over here. I don't like fried scorpions very much. ”

“… you! ”

The eyes of the Demon Kings have become fierce.

A human who stood by their side and betrayed them.

The Alpha is closing in on them.

“I once had fried scorpions in Hong Kong, and it was really bad. I like fried shrimp, but fried scorpions are not the flavor. It was like frying roaches. That's why I'm thinking, um... ”

Alpha smiles.

“I found a solution. Cut off your limbs and you'll look like a shrimp. Even if the taste is inevitable, the physiological aversion should be reduced. So... ”

White air gusts from both hands of the Alpha.

“I'll cut that limb off. ”
