‘war.’

At the mention of war, Director Yu Mark 2 became excited without realizing it.

If there is callus on the soul, it was made in war.

Kya-ha-?

The bitch was right.

So what if it’s a clone, or what if it’s not?

Was there peace in the place you returned to after escaping the endless war?

Peace, my ass.

The drug dealers were increasing in number like zombies.

Even though they were going crazy for years and years, the kids who were just sitting there were worrying about the price of their house, saying that it was a peaceful daily life.

but···.

Economic war.

A world full of things that are trying to eat us without even pulling out our hair, while meditating on the survival battle. In capitalism, when assets plummet, isn’t that a call to die? It’s a war where you either die or survive.

Kkark-

Who would have thought that a catastrophe would strike Japan? Who would have thought that a perfectly normal virus would wreak havoc during an economic depression?

I should have known when the Chinese were talking about stopping the spread of the virus. Because of the mutant virus, the Japanese disaster started to threaten our survival before the economy collapsed.

Even in this situation, his actions were amazing. Seeing him doing things here and there despite having no shit, I thought he would be happy in his later years. How did things end up like this?

···Clone?

So I’m a clone?

Kkaruk-

“Hey- Stop talking and laugh. So? Are you saying we shouldn’t enter the village because they’re shelling us?”

“······.”

Director Yu Mark 2’s smile distorted slightly.

It was incredibly cute to see the child frowning at something-something-but it didn’t work on Miss Kim.

Additional information has arrived, starting with the seven villages marked on the map, as well as the village that Maru has newly conquered and the village that he is conquering with self-propelled towed howitzers.

Mini Yoo’s gaze turned from Kim Yang to tactical information.

“···It’s bad if you go in” (It’s bad if you go in.)

As I touched the touch panel with my fern-like hand, a three-dimensional image created by AI appeared. It was a cutely animated 155mm gun spitting fire. I imagined a village bursting into flames as it passed through hills and forests.

“Here- here- here-”

Several fortified villages were marked.

“Putting a bomb on – Shit -” (when planting a bomb)

Director Yoo Mark 2 gets irritated because his pronunciation continues to be slurred due to his tongue not being fully developed yet.

“Take it slow, take it slow. You think they planted a bomb over there?”

Indeed. After finishing the bombardment and entering, it seemed inevitable that I would pass by there. If I went that way, a bang would be waiting for me.

“Here- here- bait- goshapo. bagyeoppo. be careful.” (Here- this is bait- watch out for howitzers and mortars.)

“Oh- so overall, you’re saying this town is a bait? You’re trying to lure us to come this way? Be careful because the enemies have mortars.”

Kim Yang understood perfectly. Director Yu Mark 2’s eyes strangely changed as he looked at her.

‘Wasn’t she a total idiot? A girl who instinctively pulled the trigger without thinking…’

It was subtle that my memory wasn’t perfect. My feelings, reality, and memories were all playing separately.

‘You’ve grown so much, bitch.’

Anyway, she analyzed the situation with Ms. Kim.

The situation was moving as predicted by Director Yu Mark 2, that the enemy would try to use the remote villages to induce an endless war of attrition.

“···Hey, this is true.”

Kim Yang was impressed. Although he was a half-ass, he still had the skills of a real person.

“Surrender! What are you doing? – Vogue is bad. Vogue is not good.” (Surrender is not possible! There should be no surrender… Supply is bad and supply is in danger.)

The biggest headache was the surrender and the people who asked for help, saying they were innocent refugees. This was something I experienced in Afghanistan and Iraq.

In the dirty battlefield, it was difficult to distinguish civilians.

A person who had been walking around with a normal face suddenly commits a suicide bombing one day. Or contaminates the only well in the village and causes an epidemic. Once the dirty war of attrition begins, there is no answer.

“Here… If you go. Here. Here, Bi-Ae-Hyeon, Bog-I-Hyeon.” (If you go here. This is the Mac. Airships passing by here will be in danger, and then supplies will be in danger.)

What if the cost of distributing a 0.5L bottle of water, which costs 0.1 to 0.2 dollars, is not only 1.5 dollars, but also goes up to 6 to 7 dollars? Surprisingly, this has happened.

During the six months of the Afghan War, US troops consumed 7.6 million liters of drinking water. So how much fuel did it take to supply 7.6 million liters? A whopping 897 million liters, 120 times the amount of drinking water.

Such a thing happened even though the supply was only occasionally skewed. Can the new kingdom endure? A kingdom that was just starting to circulate money again and was working hard to normalize its economy?

You don’t have the capacity to build and defend a stronghold right now, so you’re saying you’re going to absorb remote villages and entrust the border defense line to the civilians?

If we had pushed them all away, monsters could have come down through the hole. But if we had just left it alone, it would have become a smuggling base and would have eaten away at the kingdom.

Director Yoo Mark 2 turned his head. Yang Kim also nodded. It seemed likely that the bastards would continue to bite and hang on.

“Diana. Here are the compiled data. Send it on the next airship.”

[All right.]

Maru left the black horse on standby and moved to the place where the mine exploded.

Ugh- Ughhhh!

It was clear that it was a pressure mine that exploded when stepped on by a certain weight or more, rather than a jumping mine that would pop up and explode when stepped on.

If the target was a regular army, the former would be useful because it jumps and explodes, but if the target was a cannibal or a monster, the latter would be effective because it can inflict fatal damage to the legs.

“Tie my legs!”

“The bleeding will stop soon, so just hold on a little longer.”

“FUCK! FUCK!! My legs! My legs!!”

A group of men gathered together, having realized that there was a mine ahead. Their weapons were axes of strange colors. Spears. Claw knives. And 20mm rifles.

‘Is that a Mag Fed 20mm rifle?’

It was the gun that Kim Yang, a gun enthusiast, had been talking about.

‘I guess smuggling was salty.’

It was now July. Even if he had been smuggling since May, it had only been two months. He must have smuggled four or five times by now, and he was holding something like that.

“What are you going to do?”

“How can I do that?”

“Fuck you. Where’s my leg? Where’s my leg?”

“shut up!”

The guy who had been going crazy at the words “Shut up” shut his mouth tightly as if he had been gagged. Maru didn’t miss that subtlety. You can shut up a person who is having a seizure because his legs are broken with just one word?

‘Superior entity.’

They were silent cannibals, unaware that death was watching them.

“···So what are you going to do?”

The artillery they had been aiming for had disappeared somewhere, and what awaited them was a minefield. One of them even had to have his leg amputated.

“Going to BlackRock.”

“Should we do it as guerrillas like they said?”

“······.”

Evans Village was considered finished. So the only remaining option was Blackrock.

“Because there is no other way to get revenge.”

“Can Black Rock hold out? You saw them shelling and bombing.”

“Black Rock won’t be able to hold out for long. But we’ll be able to target their supply lines.”

“That may be true. The supply line must have already been extended.”

“예상대로라면 최단루트를 타고 수송할 테고, 그럼 지대공 미사일로 개새끼들 비행선을 끝장낼 수 있다.”

“Whew- Well then, whether I like it or not, I guess I’ll have to go to Blackrock and get my act together. Those guys are some real crazy guys.”

The higher entity, having finished his story, turned to look at the injured man who had been told to keep his mouth shut.

“How are your legs?”

“···Fuck. The bleeding has stopped.”

“I heard. We’re going to Black Rock and targeting their supply lines.”

“By this bridge?”

A superior entity handing a 20mm rifle to the wounded.

“There’s no problem shooting.”

“Fuck.”

Maru, who approached them as if by fate while they were talking, let out his anger.

?!!

The murderous intent that rose like a high wave swallowed up the three cannibals in one breath.

“Ugh-uh-”

“Dog-shit-”

Cannibals desperately resisting despite being beaten to death. The wound on the leg of the one who was injured burst and blood flowed out. The desperate movements were grabbing for guns and detonators.

widely-

Maru swung his sword, closing the 10m distance in one breath.

A black solid line aimed at the guy who was loading a 20mm rifle while his previously stopped wound was opening.

Kujijijik-

A head rolled across the floor with a dull, thud-like sound.

The pumping of the heart was so strong that the wound on the leg burst, and the blood spurted in all directions from the severed neck.

In that brief moment, as blood spurted into the space, the superior entity snatched the loaded 20mm rifle and pulled the trigger toward the red-stained space.

Tuang!

Oh my god!

The sound of gunfire and the sound of Eclipse blocking overlapped as one.

The blade began to vibrate under the impact of the 20mm bullet.

Kkieeeeee-

Krrrrrr-

The sound of a beast howling.

Eclipse pulled out a transparent blade and aimed for the superior entity.

Crunch!

The superior entity that sacrificed the 20mm rifle jerked back and shouted.

“Stop it!”

One of the cannibals, who had been trying to run away in a panic, turned around and thrust his spear towards the blood-splattered space.

Slightly dodging backwards, Maru’s gaze turned to the back of the superior entity that had thrown down its meat shield and was fleeing. Whether he knew it or not, the spearman launched a desperate attack.

Euaaaah!

A series of stabbing attacks, starting from the chest, legs, and head.

The brown blade, which seemed to be made from the byproduct of a monster, swiped in three times.

The spear blade that had been stabbed in the chest bent sharply and aimed for Maru’s leg. The tip of the spear, which seemed to have been aimed for the leg, bent like a snake and headed towards Maru’s head.

Crunch-

The sharp, curved tip of the spear could not overcome inertia and rose into the air.

What fell to the ground was a spear cut diagonally and the torso of the spearman.

‘What is that?’

The superior entity quickly covered itself with the concealment robe inside its bag.

With a small mechanical sound, his body merged into the scenery.

Phew- phew-

Dadadak!

The thick coniferous forest fell behind, leaving only an afterimage behind.

Suddenly, I remembered what they had said when they gave me the weapons and told me the smuggling route.

‘It’s unlikely that he’ll come in person, but if a monster-like swordsman does come, it would be a good idea to lure him here.’

‘A swordsman? Not a gun, a spear, or a bow? A sword?’

‘I survived hellish Japan with just one sword. You’ll know when you meet me.’

‘That won’t happen.’

I thought that I would never encounter it, and even if I did, I would never set foot on the terrain that was so obviously a trap. It was terrain that was so openly sunken in like a gourd.

But I must have encountered that.

Because it was clearly a sword that rose from the space where blood was splashing and rippling red.

A terribly ominous sword.

The cut surface of the 20mm rifle that was cut by the sword was glowing red.

‘Fuck-‘

It was an emotion I had never felt since becoming a new human being.

Huh- Huh-

And I feel out of breath.

Huh- Huh-

And the fear that makes your heart pound.

Even though he hid his body in a stealth robe,

A fear that clings to you so desperately even though you’ve run this far.

let’s go.

Let’s go there, whether it’s a trap or whatever.

The body of the superior entity that turned its steps towards Blackrock Village froze for a moment.

I felt a murderous aura behind my back. That vicious murderous aura made my heart stop beating.

Kwaaaaat!

As I screamed, screaming so loudly that all the air in my lungs was forced out, my body, which had been frozen with a terrible murderous intent, loosened.

Huhup-

As I reflexively took a deep breath to fill my empty lungs, I felt a sharp pain on my back. It felt like I had phlegm or like I had been injected with an anesthetic…

Turn off-

I lowered my head and looked at my chest, and I saw the tip of a sword sticking out.

The blade that sticks out from the forehead of the person with the sword rotates 90 degrees, breaking the ribs.

Phew-

I tried to block the hole with both hands, but it was no use.

Life slipping through your fingers.

‘how?’

Are you wearing a stealth robe?

As he fell to the ground with his legs giving out, what caught his eye was a giant horse hoof.

‘Black horse?’

[Hey. Didn’t I tell you not to step on my head?]

Purururung-

Kwajijijik!
