RUST -786

When the two-headed crow died, the crows that had been flocking to him began to scatter.

[The crows’ movements have changed.]

[Some crows, confirmed to have escaped]

Of the 11 escort crows, 2 died and 9 survived. These 9 became the center and gathered the scattered crows.

As a result, the Ulsan Crows, who lost their leader, did not completely collapse. They gathered together in groups of 20,000 to 30,000, centered around the escort crows.

I was able to confirm such movements because I was on the airship.

But Maru somehow knew, a message came telling him to make sure they didn’t just run away.

[Chijijik- There are guys who are handling the situation right now, right? Don’t miss them and sweep them away. Beep-]

Kim Yang immediately answered the cool voice on the floor.

[Okay.]

Ms. Kim rolled her eyes.

The Supreme Being looked very, very, very unhappy.

That’s why it’s there.

The feeling of being gushed out is so bad.

why?

Why?

For what reason?

Why did you kill the crow, which has two heads but only one heart?

She decided to lie down for a moment.

Is it human nature to avoid a pouring rain?

Huh-

Anyway, it’s something similar.

[Don’t let the crows gather again.]

[There’s a guy who’s trying to control the situation right now. Don’t miss him and kill him. Fire the main gun!]

A fleet of airships waiting in the air began to emit pillars of light.

‧

Even though the Crow King was dead, the nine crows were capable of handling the situation without panicking. They were the escort crows who began to build up their forces despite the overwhelming firepower pouring down.

A pillar of light fell from the sky, crushing thousands of crows and hitting the ground. Dust and debris rose up along with the shockwave.

Kaaa-aaaaah! (Dodge through the hole that just appeared!)

The pillar of light never fell again where it had fallen. So the place where the crater was formed was the safest place.

Kaaaak! (The King’s signal is cut off!)

Kaaaak! (Run away!)

Kyaa- Aaaah! (Escape through the hole that just appeared!)

The crows desperately heading towards the crater to avoid the railgun fire froze for a moment.

······

······

Maru was moving around the crater to avoid Kim Yang’s indiscriminate shelling, and they came face to face.

The crows that suddenly encountered death froze and died, and the crows that were unaware of the tragedy unfolding before them because of the thick dust also froze one by one.

Boom- boom boom-

The escort crow, barely able to shake off its life from the stiff crows that had piled up around the crater, cried out desperately.

Caw! (Scatter!)

Kaaaak! (Run away!)

That desperate cry brought death.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬—–

The thick dust split apart like leather, and the cries of the escorting crows suddenly ceased. The crows that had been gathering in the crater to avoid the railgun fire began to scatter in all directions.

As the crows that had been gathered dispersed, the bio-EMP weakened and communications returned to normal. That was how Kim Yang could understand why Maru was in a bad mood.

[Hey. You. If you just keep shooting, what am I supposed to do?]

If it was the highest dignity, I thought it would know how to dodge even if you shot a railgun.

Although she was sincere, Ms. Kim quickly nodded instead of making excuses.

[···I was wrong.]

[······.]

[Just rest there for a moment. We’ll catch any runaways here.]

[······.]

The fleet of aircraft commanded by Kim Yang moved briskly.

======

The flock of 300,000 crows heading north toward the Daegu and Gumi defense lines were scattered. The Crow King was killed, and nine of his eleven entourage crows were captured, but two escaped.

[The surviving crows joined the Japanese refugee forces?]

“okay.”

Maru answered Gisun’s question calmly.

Kim Yang, who was quietly laying her head down in a corner, felt wronged by the world. It was Maru who stopped her from wiping everything out with the railgun cannon.

liar.

You said you would give me command.

“Can’t we just sweep them away together with the Japanese refugees?”

“···Were there only Japanese refugees?”

There were also Korean soldiers who joined the Japanese refugee force, and many Koreans who fled to that side to avoid the crows. Are you saying that we should just let them shoot small nukes or wipe them out with railguns?

“Whether or not there are those attached to Japan, why should we care if they are affected by psychic abilities?”

“So, when you were hit by the psychic power, you should have just cut it down without worrying about it?”

If it came out like that, it was just Miss Kim who was wronged.

“There are forces that control Japanese refugees. What are they going to do?”

There’s no use in taking hostages when you’re already at the starting line.

If you come up, you die. Wouldn’t it be better to warn them clearly and deal with them?

It was like that when Ms. Kim went to work.

Hostage crisis?

Threatening with a bomb?

The policy was to sweep it away whether or not they did something like that. It was natural that things would get complicated and dirty if they rescued the hostages.

“If we were to manage Korea, that wouldn’t be a bad thing. But that’s not our policy. There’s no need to touch it and become a villain.”

“No matter what we do, the cannibals will see us as villains because of one broadcast. Isn’t that right?”

Even though they corrected the report and protected freedom of the press, it was useless, right?

“That doesn’t mean we have to do things that they like.”

There were those who said that the Holy Kingdom was evil.

It may be to consolidate political power, but Maru had no intention of creating anything that they would like to chew on.

[I agree with Maru’s thoughts.]

If we had carpet bombed them with cute nukes or swept them away with railguns, they would have used that as an excuse to further expand and consolidate their power.

Kim Yang, who received Maru’s gaze telling her to get up, frowned and stood up abruptly.

“7 China, Russia, Japan are sending refugees to Korea?”

[We need to keep a check. But if we start taking action ourselves, it could be like pouring water into a bottomless pit···]

Ki-soon tried to explain the situation, but Kim Yang turned her head away.

“Okay. I’ll wash up and rest.”

She didn’t like complicated things.

Are you not listening?

Then fan.

I don’t even listen to the beat.

It gives you eternal rest.

How simple is it?

It still seems the same to Ms. Kim.

‘If you want to restrain Korea, don’t you have to hold its head by the scruff of the neck? And then you’re holding an election?’

Why?

If you want to use Korea to check other powers, wouldn’t it be enough to create a puppet government?

Electronic voting is manipulated by artificial intelligence, and broadcasting is used to promote pro-Holy Kingdom political forces, while opposing forces are trampled on, whether they are corrupt or not, by creating them.

Even if it wasn’t like that, shouldn’t they have at least grabbed the lifeline and held an election or something?

It was already a mess, and now there’s an election. Kim Yang, feeling somewhat frustrated, went outside. Ki-sun, who was watching her, shook his head.

[He’s leaving without even listening to the explanation.]

“Because I hate complicated things.”

‘Yeah. It’s complicated,’ Ki-soon muttered to himself as he checked the situation.

[The leader crow was said to have what appeared to be a fragment of the altar.]

“okay.”

Ki-sun’s squinted eyes shone thinly.

[It’s clear that the crow chicks are connected to the Japanese refugee forces.]

“yes.”

As the Ulsan crows moved north, the Japanese refugee force took advantage of the gap and moved in. The timing was too good to be a coincidence.

[Is that the reason why the nuclear attack was prevented?]

Maru nods instead of answering.

What could have caused the massive sinkhole in Tokyo, Japan, and the mutant monsters that filled it? It had to be the aftermath of a strategic nuclear warhead being dropped on an area related to the altar.

Drop a nuke there? Even if it’s a small nuke, you wouldn’t use it without knowing what kind of reaction it would cause.

The same goes for the railgun. It was true that the two-headed crow had interfered with the railgun with the fragments of the altar. Thinking back on it, it was not certain, but there was no reason to gamble.

The most important issue at the moment was not the nuclear and sinkhole issues. The important issue for the Holy Kingdom was securing a million newborns and expanding its military.

“What do you mean by the spiritual world?”

[Even if they were local troops who were forcibly conscripted, it was strange that the entire unit joined the force because Japanese women approached them and used a honey trap.]

It was difficult to understand how company and battalion units could join the refugee forces without much opposition.

“So there’s either a psychic over there or a high-level cannibal?”

[I think so.]

If so, it was clear that Japanese refugee forces would intervene in the Korean general election.

“I guess I need to check.”

If a psychic was involved, it would need to be sorted out.

Even if there were high-level cannibals or vampires, they had to be dealt with.

‘It’s not just cannibals and vampires that are the problem.’

The worst case scenario would be if the black tentacles took control of the Japanese refugee command.

Ki-sun was surprised by Maru’s story.

[Black tentacle? The one that bonded with Chairman Shim?]

“Yeah. That one.”

Ki-sun’s expression hardened as if he hadn’t thought about that. Could it be that there are black tentacles capable of imitating the Japanese refugee command?

If that were true, it would have been dangerous.

While Maru and Kisun were talking, the Japanese refugee force made an unexpected move.

[Refugee forces move.]

[Check the direction of movement.]

[Simulation prediction direction. Busan. Busan.]

[Confirmation of stratospheric airship observation data.]

[Refugee forces are returning to Busan.]

[Refugees who appear to be Korean joined the retreating refugee force.]

[I’m going down from Pohang to Ulsan.]

[Gyeongsan City has been liberated.]

[The siege of Gumi City has been lifted.]

[Japanese refugee units are retreating from the Gyeongsangbuk-do region.]

Ki-sun’s eyes narrowed at the movements of the refugee forces.

[These crows are retreating because they’re being stripped of their fur?]

“Maybe so.”

[What are you going to do?]

“Let’s just wait and see. There are too many Koreans who have joined them.”

It was the aftermath of crows moving north and eating people. Even among the Japanese refugee forces, the number of Koreans joining increased as they absorbed the Korean military.

[I think these guys are using Korean people’s meat as a shield?]

It seemed like they were planning to use Koreans to spread a curtain of humanity to prevent Maru from infiltrating and using his power.

“Let’s solve the newborn problem first.”

It was a floor that I had no intention of touching, even if I got cursed at, as long as the bastards didn’t come up.

Whether it was effective in killing the two-headed crow and burning down a flock of 300,000 crows, or both the Japanese refugee force and the refugee force from China were quiet.

[It is entirely possible to give birth via cesarean section.]

Using cloning technology, growing them was no problem.

“Then let’s start accepting applicants right away.”

Surgeries have begun targeting pregnant women who want to give birth quickly, and thousands of newborns have been placed in incubators using robotic surgeries using artificial intelligence.

But something unexpected happened.

[More than 20% of children have problems.]

It was a problem I had never thought of.
