Suddenly attacked? Who?
Miss Kim tilted her head.
“The Chinese army is coming.”
[Here? Now?]
“This city might be a stronghold.”
[?!]
Even if that wasn’t the case, I had to get the Marines out of the city.
Because we had to avoid street fighting.
What if there are civilian casualties while shooting here?
Those guys must be really annoying.
‘American soldiers massacre civilians.’
‘What were the US Marines deployed to find?’
‘The truth hidden by the US military.’
It was clear that there would be a fuss about this kind of content everywhere.
There are also Japanese people, so they will be brought forward as witnesses.
If I got caught, I got caught really badly.
“Secure the escape route.”
[Which direction?]
The upper harbor or the left mountain?
“harbor.”
[Okay.]
“The action camera was always working?”
[Always Kim.]
“Okay. Are there any hidden ones that go in?”
Kim Yang tapped her helmet. Of course, it was being recorded.
“Good job. Then you go first. I’ll go and see the commander.”
After packing up his gear, Maru turned on his action camera. It was a good idea to leave evidence behind in case the commander said something strange like before.
The place where the commander was was a bit chaotic.
No, rather than being chaotic, should I say the atmosphere is tense?
“This is an emergency. Where is the commander?”
The adjutant pulls out his gun as soon as he makes eye contact with Maru.
“Don’t move! Arrest him!”
what?
Maru reflexively activated his stealth equipment and fell to the side.
“Here he comes. Stealth gear!”
One of them raised his voice as if responding to the adjutant’s words.
“The mercenary betrayed! He’s an assassin!”
Again, a response came from the other end of the hallway.
“The mercenary betrayed! He assassinated the Major!”
“If something looks strange, shoot it!”
No, these crazy kids?
Luckily, the action camera was on and moving. Kim Yang’s exosuit would have also been recording the footage, so even if the worst happened, there wouldn’t be any trouble.
‘Isn’t it true that we have to save the Marines?’
It seemed like someone wearing stealth gear broke in and assassinated the major. Then you should think of it as an enemy breaking in, why suspect a normal person first? Unless you prepared for it in advance… No, it’s like this.
‘They’re after me?’
Information leaked. They knew there were mercenaries using stealth equipment, so they set a trap. If they were asleep, they could have committed a massacre without even knowing what was going on.
“Find it!”
“What about the exosuit?”
“They’re all one. Disarm them. If they resist, we’ll shoot them.”
“ancient.”
Dadadak – Steps taken towards the window at the end of the hallway.
“He’s still here.”
“Just shoot!”
Tata tata tata-
Clang—
He ran 15 meters in just two steps, broke the window, and jumped out. It was seven stories high, but the snow that had piled up to half of the second floor absorbed the impact. Maru quickly narrowed the angle in the snow.
Instead of running away, he chooses to dive into the building. As he moves towards the building, bullets rain down near the area where he jumped.
The Marines poked their guns out the windows and fired their projectiles. Maru moved sideways along the outer wall of the building, watching as the flames began to scatter in all directions.

Kim Yang frowned at the sound of gunshots from afar.
‘Raid?’, ‘Heading to the hotel?’
It was gunfire coming from the hotel where the Marines were staying. Baekjeong had said there would be an attack, and it really was.
‘how?’
Didn’t you see with your own eyes the children standing guard and keeping watch? And then they were attacked right away?
Kim Yang moved to the outskirts to secure a retreat route. The squad guarding the outskirts was intact with no signs of attack.
‘Are you saying this was really the enemy’s stronghold?’
“Stop! What’s going on?”
The sergeant, who was the squad leader, asked about the situation as soon as he saw the exosuit.
“Are you under attack right now?”
[On the way to secure a retreat route. Please cooperate.]
When Ms. Kim asked for cooperation instead of an answer, the senior officer was troubled.
“I don’t think it’s up to me to decide. The platoon leader is in the firearms squad, so I’ll direct you there.”
The second lieutenant in the firearms squad refused Kim Yang’s request for cooperation.
He said that since no orders had been given to secure a retreat route, they had to continue their guard duty, and that they could not accept any requests for cooperation from mercenaries, even if it meant supporting the rescue of the main force.
[Then thank you for your hard work]
“······.”
At Kim Yang’s quick cut-off, So-wi shut his mouth for a moment.
‘Did you know how to explain and persuade in detail?’
There’s no such thing. I’m so busy. What’s the reason? If you don’t understand, you should just die. In Kim Yang’s experience, when things go wrong, there are two types of people.
Those who live and those who die.
Those who are meant to live, live accordingly, and those who are meant to die, die because they didn’t know. Even if you try to save those who are meant to die, they will end up tying up their ankles and making many people tired before dying.
‘If you were in your right mind, you would know how to prepare for it.’
If you’re the kind of guy who doesn’t watch his head even after hearing that he needs to secure a retreat route, that’s all there is to it. Kim Yang put on the stealth equipment Maru had given her on her exosuit.
Kiiing- Aiiing-
The swaying shadows melted into the night.

This man is the younger brother of Councilor Keiichi Kadama. He is the current head of the Kadama family and a madman. Roger Long tried hard to ignore the old man’s dazzling eyes.
“This is Lieutenant Roger Long.”
“Hmm- First, Shinta Kadama.”
He was clearly the leader in his self-introduction. It was exactly as reported. It was about him having a strong sense of compensation for the time he lived as the second son and the shadow of his family. As if to cut off her thoughts, the old man’s scratchy voice continued.
“I heard that Long Chen Xiaojiao is coming in person?”
“Your Majesty is currently engaged in combat with the devilish American imperialists throughout the Tokyo area.”
The old man’s mouth twisted at Roger Lung’s answer.
“It’s work, but don’t you think you’ll have time to come see your fiancée’s face while you’re at it? It’s not like there aren’t other officers to command.”
“I would appreciate it if you would consider me to be that capable.”
Yell! Despite the sudden shouting and madness, Roger Lung did not lower his head.
“Is Japan funny? Was the Kadama family that easy?”
As the southern part of Tokyo, the stronghold of the Kadama family, was reduced to ashes in Japan devastated by the great disaster, Roger Lung remained calm and unmoving.
“So? So you don’t care about the marriage alliance anymore. Then you can just break off the engagement, but the cards you’re holding are so tempting, and why do you want to just take the meat?”
“······.”
The old man found it funny that these families had formed marriage alliances. They would do anything for revenge, but it was not good to get involved with the Rong family in the first place. If you were going to get involved with the military, it would be better to get involved with the Northern Theater, which was in charge of the North. Or at least the Eastern Theater.
“Since things have come to this, there’s no need to drag this out any longer. Let’s talk about it.”
“What do you mean?”
“The engagement is broken. However, if it is just a temporary cooperation, I will accept it.”
“I guess I should be the one thanking you.”
If the Long family had first asked for a breakup, bad rumors would have spread. However, if she had left on her own, I welcomed her with open arms.
“Of course. Instead, let’s stockpile more than half of the supplies.”
“Huh? No- What did you just say? Did I hear you correctly? Did you ask for half of the supplies?”
Are you asking for supplies as compensation? Are you crazy? Rather than giving half of the supplies, it would be better to wipe out the Gadama family and everything. Can’t you think about that? If you don’t like it, you can just bury it all.
“As I heard. They demand half of the supplies.”
“Do you know how much that amount is?”
It was enough to supply over 100,000 people. That was just for firearms and other consumables. If you included new weapons, it was enough to occupy a small country. Half of that? Are you crazy? Are you thinking of establishing a country?
Roger Lung looked at the old man with an expression that asked if he was in his right mind. The old man’s eyes. There was no compromise in those eyes that sometimes seemed to be filled with madness. Roger Lung shook his head.
“It’s not my place to decide.”
“Then, until someone who can make a decision comes, we’ll manage the supplies here.”
“You’re crazy. Seriously. You want to get your hands on the Confederate supplies right now? You want to go to war instead of cooperating?”
“Are there any authors who want to cooperate secretly coming in? Kiriko.”
The sliding door opened at the old man’s calm voice calling his granddaughter. Kiriko, who had come at a brisk pace, placed a tray with three severed heads in front of Roger Lung. They were the escorts who had come with him.
“It’s a stealth device. Did you succeed in mass producing it? But it’s too weak to target me.”
“Who is after you? These people were my escorts!”
“You want me to believe that? If it’s an escort, do you go fully armed and use stealth to monitor them? Do you hide the fact that you have an escort from the other party? And you’re even meeting someone you were in a marriage alliance with before you broke off the engagement? To be honest, if it was a mess, weren’t you planning to deal with it here?”
“···What makes you believe this?”
“What matters is the facts. Not the beliefs. The facts.”
It doesn’t matter whether the Gadama family trusts the Rong family or not. So let’s just look at the facts.
The fact that they had been trying to join forces to drive out the evil American Empire from East Asia, but when Japan lost its power due to a great disaster, they created a supply depot capable of supplying a large number of troops without any prior consultation. The fact that they kept this supply depot hidden.
The fact that Japan, while trying to check the US, is only taking away the fruits of its hard work and research. The fact that the Kadama family, with whom it had formed a marriage alliance after losing its base in the face of a great disaster, was ignored.
The fact that the Kadama family, which had lost its power, sent three secret assassins to protect them in order to deal with them quietly.
“That’s what I’m saying. If that’s true, then what’s there to feel aggrieved about?”
If we cannot drive out the United States, we will drag it in even deeper. Instead of being obsessed with cooperation with China, which has lost its balance, we will encourage the United States and China to bleed endlessly. The blood shed by the two great nations will become the foundation for rebuilding Japan.
Ta-da-da-da!
Gunshots can be heard outside the window.
“It’s started.”
Okay, from now on, let’s kill each other. Without end.
An old man’s face reflected in the window. A crooked smile faded into the dark night.

Papapapak!
The reinforced concrete was torn apart and the thick wooden pillars fell off in handfuls.
“Keep shooting!”
“There’s nothing!”
“Just shoot! Shoot straight ahead!”
“Shoot even if you can’t see it! It’s stealth!”
The 12.7mm bullet was certainly powerful. Even if you block the bullet with bulletproof vests, you can’t stop the impact. But that’s only if the opponent is hit.
Maru jumped into the air and fell like a meteor.
Kwajik – One person is separated vertically at the same time
Boo-wook – A horizontal swing of the sword created a circular sea of blood.
Maru jumped again and leaped into the air.
Euaaaahhhhhhhhhh!
asleep!!!
In a split second, without even knowing what was ahead or what was to the side, the panicked soldiers pulled the trigger all the way.
Crunch!
Tick!
Death descended upon the soldiers who were trying to change magazines with trembling hands.
Limbs scattered on the floor.
Floating head.
Pouring blood.
A final sigh.
The black line that passed by cut off everything it touched.
Whoa whoa whoa!
“Throw the grenade!”
“Missile! Fire the missile!”
“Just blow it up. Blow up the area!”
Maru left the scene, leaving behind the enemies who had lost their minds.
‘There are so many fucking filthy things.’
If it weren’t for the stealth equipment, we would have been at a loss with our human wave tactics.
‘Tsk, my battery is dying.’
Now, it’s time to hit and run. I’ve done enough. If I had wanted to escape, I would have done it a long time ago. If I had gone through the escape route that Kim Yang secured, not all of them, but a lot of them would have survived.
As previously discussed, Maru moved towards the northern port. He planned to cut off the pursuing enemies in the middle as he followed.
‘This is···.’
In front of that floor, the corpses of US Marines were strewn about. The bodies had no traces of bullets or bombs. Deep wounds were clearly visible in vital areas not covered by bulletproof vests.
‘knife?’
The blood that flowed down along the trail of the blade was dyeing the white snow red.
“Is this why the kids’ eyes turned away?”
It’s understandable that you’d misunderstand me if I played around with the knife like this.
Maru spoke in the direction where the sharp, murderous aura was coming from.
“Hey. Over there. Come out.”
Kick. Got it.
The shadows rippled slightly.
