Steel eating player chapter 126

=========================================

The scene where the Shanghai Black Orc troop assembly site turned into a sea of ​​fire was broadcast live around the world.

The world couldn’t help but marvel by making the name Stilane again as a headline.

– … … Again, it was still steel. He scatters the steel rain once more!

– Wait, can we just call it steel rain? That’s a complete punishment!

A radio is playing from an armored search vehicle parked on the road in front of Seoul Station.

This was not an actual radio broadcast using a frequency, but an American satellite broadcast,

It was America’s “Kill the Monster”, the most famous player preview program today.

Ordinary people would hear it in English, but players heard it translated by itself.

– And even if it’s a surprise, you can say it’s a really ridiculous exchange fee, right?

– Yes, this war is going to be an opportunity in a way. A chance to end the Black Orc kingdom.

– Oh, is that really possible? According to information from the International Bureau of Erosion and Topography, there are still many… … .

Meanwhile, Corporal Taeyong Choi was standing in the passenger seat, wiping arrows.

“Hey, Taeyong Choi! Man, are you listening to the radio leisurely when there is a war?”

With that said, it was Sergeant Min-tae Ahn, the 5th Squad Leader of the 1st Company.

He kicked the shield he had leaned against the car on his back and clicked his tongue.

“If you don’t have me, you’ll have to take the role of the squad leader, so you’re out of time because you’re full.”

“Ah, really… I just turned it on for a while because Sgt. Lee Hyun-wook’s story came out.”

“Why is that civilian man a sergeant? And it’s all about him these days.”

“Just hearing about our Hyunwook hyung’s performance makes us feel proud and proud, isn’t it?”

“Hey, it’s no longer a hill we dare to rub against. Don’t fall for the old glory too much.”

Ahn Min-tae smiled and lifted his head.

The aerial city of Laputa, the cause of the huge shadow over Seoul Station, fills the field of vision.

Two hours ago, I witnessed the airships of the Iron Fleet taking flight over there.

‘Isn’t that great thing that person’s property?’

It hasn’t been officially mentioned yet, but the world assumed so. And Ahn Min-tae also thought that Lee Hyun-wook was the only one who would receive the best reward for the 4th wave as he saw it up close.

“Sergeant Min-tae Ahn, by the way, what are you doing at the operation meeting? Are we still here?”

“Well, those Black Orcs will definitely be targeting Laputa, so they’re telling us to stop them…”

He said so and looked around.

“Twice—”

Not long ago, members of the 1st Company fought a battle here.

The opponent is the traitors of the Black Orc Troops and the Taesan Guild… … .

On that day, a considerable number of company members were killed on this spot.

‘But again, I’m going to be defending here… … .’

Ahn Min-tae looked back at the squad members with an unknown feeling of insecurity.

At that moment, a private standing at the back raised his hand.

“I, Sgt. Min-tae Ahn,

“Uh, Minseok, why?”

Kang Min-seok, he was a new recruit who moved in just three days ago.

“That… Steelein, is it really that Hyunwook Lee was our 5th squad leader?”

At that question, Ahn Min-tae smiled and patted Kang Min-seok’s battle hat.

“You bastard, what have you heard so far?”

From the moment I moved in, I explained the long history of this big 5 squad.

But when you come here and ask yourself this, are you saying you didn’t believe it?

Well, it’s the 3rd day of moving in. It was at the height of his foolishness that a war broke out. Earl is about to go out.

“Ah! Sin, I’m sorry!”

“No, I’m not sorry…”

He placed his hand on Kang Min-seok’s shoulder and said in a rather heavy voice.

“We were the core of that steel company.”

… … I’ve heard it, but it’s amazing to hear it again.”

It’s embarrassing, but it seems like I’ve said this over and over again.

“I, by the way… So should we fight him, B, and the Black Orc?”

Ahn Min-tae noticed just then. It seems that this was the reason I brought up the word in the first place.

“Huh? Why? Are you afraid of fighting a Black Orc?”

“Well, more than that… I think it makes no sense.”

He bowed his head and shook his head.

“My level is 11. But I heard that Black Orc is at least level 50. Even I raised this level as a training dummy object… B, if you fight Black Orcs…”

In fact, it is a special case for one AMT to attack the gate, so it is natural to think that it does not make sense to protect ‘Laputa’ against ‘Black Orcs’ rather than anything else.

He probably didn’t even know he would come to this unit… … .

“Hey, Minseok-ah, when dealing with monsters, the level isn’t everything.”

At those words, Kang Min-seok blinked his eyes as if he did not understand.

“If not, how could AMT soldiers like us be able to stop the 4th wave?”

Of course, it was great to be led by a rare hero named Lee Hyun-wook… … .

Anyway, it was clear that it was an achievement that broke a certain ‘frame’ defined by everyone in the world.

“By the way, raiding isn’t about leveling, it’s about using everything that is available.”

“……”

“Environment, item, player, etc… Then we can catch Black Orcs too?”

I was thinking of saying that it was Lee Hyun-wook who said this, too.

It was because he seemed to mention the heavy name too often.

“Hey, I was only at your level before the 4th wave? But now I’m 41.”

He actually went from an E-Class to a C-Class Tier 1, going through an insanely steep growth.

Kang Min-seok said, ‘Wow… … ‘ He murmured, and made a confused expression on his face.

“And not too long ago, I actually fought a Black Orc… but honestly, I couldn’t win one-on-one.”

He lifted his head with a bitter expression and looked around the street in front of Seoul Station.

Black Orcs with a minimum level of 50, as they are seasoned warriors, a one-on-one match was unreasonable.

“So some of the company members were killed… but in the end ‘we’ won.”

He emphasized the word ‘we’. Then he raised his head and looked at Laputa.

“And above all… Stilane won’t let us lose.”

“Ah, did he still appear then?”

“Yeah, it was… but you can’t rely on such a fluke.”

It seemed that Private Kang Min-seok’s expression had changed quite a bit.

Meanwhile, the radio was continuously playing from the armored search vehicle.

– It seems that players from all over the world are going to support Korea right now.

– haha… … To be honest, isn’t that an act of the inside out? I’m going to eat a spoonful of good food!

– But that’s right, it’s cooking, right? Well, doesn’t it explode the moment you put a spoon in it?

– I do. I’m joking like this, but in the end there will be a lot of ‘game overs’.

– Oh, war must be war. perhaps… … There will be more casualties than the 4th wave.

“Hey, Taeyong Choi! Turn off the radio now, please!”

***

Although at the end, the scene was captured by the Black Orc King Stonox and hastily escaped, however, in the end, the overwhelming victory of Lee Hyun-wook and Choi Jeong-cheol was certain.

Therefore, the world seems to have begun to understand that it is not impossible to defeat the Black Orc Kingdom.

– [Breaking News] Japan’s A&G Guild declares ’48 players dispatched’ including ‘Hurricane’ Koshiro Kodo to Korea

– [Breaking News] Emergency dispatch of fighter units led by the Pit Bull brothers of the United States “We will stand at the forefront of the battle on the Korean Peninsula”

– Heroes from all over the world gathering on the Korean Peninsula… … The Unified Humanity Army VS the Black Orc Kingdom?

– The embers of hope ignited by Hyunwook Lee spreads all over the world and spreads into the fire of the Great Orc War!

In addition to these two news, declarations of participation in the war continued with messages of support from all over the world.

Is the love for humanity, which had faded in admiration at Lee Hyun-wook’s performance, even rising?

In fact, Lee Hyun-wook himself was not happy with such a reaction from the world.

‘The support troops that will come like that… … It won’t be of much help.’

More than half of them knew well that they would approach it in a different way.

‘Some are trying to stick a straw in this big event… … Some will target me and Laputa.’

The former didn’t really matter. It would have been more helpful if I didn’t just grab the ankle.

What we should pay close attention to is the latter, the villain force.

Hyeonwook Lee has torn the cards they put up several times until now.

‘So the time has come for a stronger Joker to come out.’

For them, there would never be another chance as sure as this one. Even the Taesan Guild, which was the outpost, has completely fallen, and if it is not for such a war event, it would be impossible to set foot on this land.

But if even the Black Orc Kingdom, the most powerful force that can shake up Korea, is blocked… … .

‘… … My plan for Korea to become the last bastion is complete.’

But this war was never going to be easy.

‘Stonox, as long as the final boss monster appeared directly, it means that it has moved to Phase 2 at once… … .’

Like boss monster raids, war events have the concept of a ‘phase’.

In Phase 1, the advance team of 15,000 and the Black Wyverns gathered at the troop gathering point.

But since Lee Hyun-wook wiped them all away, the second stage was going to start right away.

this war… … He could win, but even Lee Hyun-wook couldn’t predict what the level of damage would be.

Meanwhile, preparations for war continued without hesitation.

The AMT Operations Command was established in an underground bunker of a secret facility in Namyangju.

There, AMT senior commanders and the heads of each guild gathered and had an operational meeting.

And AMT troops from all over the country were secretly moving toward the West Sea.

However, Lee Hyun-wook did not attend the decision-making process.

‘It is much more efficient to prepare based on what I know about the future.’

He was flying near an island in the West Sea where he expected the Black Orcs to land.

And I was thoroughly examining the variables that might not be possible through ‘review’.

This war was not going to be a complicated operation, but would end in a single clash.

At that moment, someone’s voice came out of his mana messenger.

– I called 3 times, and Inferno won’t move.

It was Lee Kyo-jun, the team leader who said that.

He was on an airplane and was acting as a liaison for Lee Hyun-wook.

From what I heard earlier, Director Woo Seong-moon seemed to be looking for additional firepower needed for future operations.

If there was one more massive firepower that Hyunwook Lee showed off, the war would have been much easier.

The only person who could take on that role was by far the savior of Busan, Inferno.

– … … This, the local guilds say that they will wait in their area first, so it is natural to say that Inferno will remain in Busan… … It’s a bit stubborn.

According to Lee Hyun-wook’s prediction, the Black Orc corps must appear on the island of the West Sea adjacent to Seoul.

However, the fact was strictly confidential and was not known to the outside world.

In other words, it was a reasonable decision to say that Inferno would remain in Busan for now, as the public thought that if the Black Orcs invaded, they would not know where among the three sides of the Korean Peninsula would be.

‘And above all else, Inferno hates leaving Busan terribly.’

If Lee Hyun-wook was the savior of Seoul, Inferno was the savior of Busan.

Therefore, only in Busan, there is a privilege of doubling the ability.

‘… … When you went out of Busan, you were hit hard once, maybe?’

It was the “Assassination of the Prophet” that took place three years ago and remains a mystery.

As far as Lee Hyun-wook knows, Inferno and the Prophet have been close friends since childhood.

However, it must have been a great shock to see his friend died in front of his eyes because of his lack of ability.

Since then, Inferno is said to be extremely reluctant to fight outside of Busan.

Anyway, if Inferno came to the West Sea, things would be easier… … .

‘It might be better not to have it. I will be able to devote myself to the achievements.’

Without the confidence to win this war, he would not have dared to make such a decision.

– Oh, and Hurricane Kodo Koshiro just arrived. Have you already met him once?

“Yes, it was a good relationship.”

And foreign support troops arrived one by one.

“How can we get all foreign players to be placed towards the South Coast as planned?”

– We are encouraging that too, but these are a bit stubborn.

“Still, as long as you come to this country, won’t you follow the control of the Korean government? No, you have to.”

– … … It’s perfectly true, but a player entering the world rankings has to be handled so easily by humans. Well, at least we’re going to prevent access to the West Sea area.

There, it was necessary to hide that some secret operation was being carried out.

That was then.

rumble——

The sound of thunder from somewhere… … .

When I turned my head, a black cloud was gathering from the horizon in the distance.

But strangely, the sky was clear blue without a few clouds.

Well, I wonder if the weather change at sea is so extreme… … .

The problem was that those dark clouds were not only in the sky, but stretched to the sea level.

‘It’s like a black tsunami coming.’

As I got a little closer, I knew. It was not a cloud, but a mass of living black smoke.

It fills the sky from the sea, and is running fiercely as if it were swallowing up the land.

“…Captain Lee, it seems like it has started.”

– Now that… … Maybe that’s it?

At Lee Hyun-wook’s words, team leader Lee Kyo-jun also questioned whether he witnessed it.

“Yes, the King of Black Orcs… he himself has led his army.”

That’s an extra-large space movement skill created by the devil’s magic.

‘As soon as that touches the ground, spatial overlap occurs. in it… … Legions are pouring out.’

Soon, the black smoke landed on Ganghwa Island and turned into a huge dome-shaped shield.

Again, the first step in conquest was to devour an entire island.

“Captain Lee, did all the residents of Ganghwa Island evacuate inland?”

– Yes, not only Ganghwa Island, but all three islanders have fled inland.

“… … great. The welcome fanfare is going to explode at an important moment, so please crack down on those involved.”

With that said, Lee Hyun-wook looked into the dark smoke as much as possible through ‘Hoo-jin’.

It was a thick smoke screen that could never be seen with the naked eye, but with hindsight it was possible.

An “overlapping space” had already been formed, and something was pouring out of it.

‘Let’s see, there are about three hundred Black Wyverns… … .’

Lee Hyun-wook reduced the number quite a bit, but he came back with more than doubled.

‘Oh, and the ragged fleet appeared?’

The Ragged Fleet was an airship unit made with the crude technology of the Black Orcs.

However, there was one thing that stood out in particular.

It was quite large, and it was in a well-organized shape that could never be called ‘rags’.

‘Wait a minute, that… … Looks like a gnome airship?’

It was an ‘item-type airship’ in a very perfect shape, similar to Friedwen.

However, the size was about 7 or 8 times that of Friedwen, and it was a fairly large guy.

That moment… … .

– (!) The quest has arrived.

Apparently, a quest was triggered by witnessing that aircraft.

[Exclusive Quest]

– Heir of Laputa, restore the old prosperity!

You have witnessed one of Laputa’s lost ‘core parts’.

No matter whose hand the item is now, you are the true owner.

Whatever method you use, get it back and bring back Laputa’s true form!

* Reward: Laputa Add-On ‘Colossus Research Institute’

A long time ago, when Lee Hyeon-wook took his first steps to Laputa, he remembered the story he had heard from Talos.

In the distant past, after Laputa was attacked by an unidentified enemy, the story of five factions of Laputa moving to different dimensions with important key components that make up Laputa and living there… … So I said that in order to unlock Laputa’s ‘Power Craft’ function, you have to perform a quest.

‘So, now is the chance to find one of Laputa’s lost parts.’

And the ‘add-on’ of the reward could simply be called an ‘attachment building’.

‘Next, if it’s a colossal disease lab… … In our language, it’s like a robotics lab.’

Some wars become the arena of high-tech and advance civilization.

It may have a slightly different meaning, but if we win this war… … .

‘… … Can we expect explosive development of magic engineering?’
