RUST -791

The National Assembly plenary hall was filled with applause with every step he took toward the podium.

The applause of the members of the National Assembly was a kind of hospitality, pressure, and at the same time, an expectation that the Holy Kingdom would open its bundle to Korea.

“You don’t look so good?”

“Vladimir Kalin? Are you from Eastern Europe or Russia?”

“Judging by the hair and eyes, it looks like it’s a Kareisky.”

“It’s not a bad start. Anyway, if you go that way, your compatriots and people will be able to eat you up.”

As the three or five gathered lawmakers chattered, the lawmakers holding the strings outside laughed inwardly.

Vladimir Kalin, a Japanese-Korean who is believed to have become a naturalized American citizen, is a United States Army war hero and former mercenary who was secretly decorated.

He made brilliant contributions in the Japanese escape operation, the Chinese war, and the monster extermination war.

Closely associated with the Department of Homeland Security, and virtually ruled over Detroit, Michigan. Based on this, they declared the Holy Kingdom. Independence.

After that, Canada, which had fallen into a state of anarchy, was annexed by force. Currently, Canada is successfully under control. The territory of the Holy Kingdom is expected to include the area around the five Great Lakes, centered around Michigan, and all of Canada.

But those who knew more detailed information kept their mouths shut and were nervous.

‘He was not just a war hero, but was called the god of battle.’

‘He is a man who founded a kingdom single-handedly.’

It was likely that he was a person with considerable abilities. Although he looked like an ordinary human on the outside, inside he was a monster beyond the average person.

To let someone like that into the National Assembly without any countermeasures, it was clear that all the guys here had crazy heads.

‘What should I do? Should I just leave now?’

‘This is the first National Assembly term, so if you leave without a reason, you will be stuffed.’

All the media outlets were there. Even going to the bathroom would be filmed.

‘You don’t know what ability it is?’

‘I don’t know.’

‘Why do you say that?’

‘Because they’re all dead.’

‘Crazy. You call someone like that and give a speech in the National Assembly?’

‘What can I do? There is no official information.’

The expressions of several members of the National Assembly who were applauding stiffly were half-rotten. Despite the strange atmosphere of anticipation, excitement, and fear, Maru calmly went up to the podium.

The speech began in earnest with a brief expression of gratitude to the Korean government and National Assembly for providing this opportunity.

[The Holy Kingdom kept its promise and supported the general election. ···(omitted)··· It did not lobby the Korean government or National Assembly in any way.]

The story of how, despite having the actual power of the Holy Kingdom Expedition Force, they did not use it to force anyone. Some people laughed at Maru’s speech.

‘So are you saying that the Holy Kingdom is moral?’

‘You killed everyone associated with the cannibals? You didn’t force them?’

‘If they had forced it, there would have been chaos.’

Some members of the National Assembly did not look happy. The fact that he openly stated in his speech that he did not lobby or coerce anyone was significant.

‘You’re saying that there is no contact with Korean political power.’

‘If that’s true, does that mean you have no attachment to Korea?’

‘That’s not good. It means there is no pro-Divine Kingdom faction.’

The government was anti-Sacred Kingdom, and the National Assembly was also dominated by anti-Sacred Kingdom lawmakers. Even though the opposition to the Sacred Kingdom had a slight edge, 51 to 49, it was an election where 51 was elected.

Although pro-Holy Kingdom members of the National Assembly were elected through proportional representation, the majority of the members of the National Assembly had to be seen as ‘anti-Holy Kingdom.’

In a situation where the pro-Sacred Kingdom faction is in disarray, you didn’t even lobby or support them. In effect, you’re saying that you can just wash your hands of them and leave without any regrets.

‘What are you thinking?’

‘This is not a good atmosphere. If the Holy Kingdom withdraws, only China and Russia will be left.’

‘Huh? Isn’t there Japan too?’

There was a reason why Japanese refugees were able to settle in quickly.

They got rid of the existing politicians who had become cannibals and held new elections, but that was it. From the beginning, there were those who had connections with China, Japan, and Russia. From the beginning, they tried to exclude the Holy Kingdom in order to expand their power.

Maru knew that the situation was going to be reversed with overwhelming electronic warfare capabilities, but he didn’t care much. They’re going to recruit from China, Japan, and Russia? They’re going to have problems because they’re recruited?

Maru’s speech quickly moved to the middle of the story. He began explaining why he had decided to exclude cannibals from the Holy Kingdom.

[···That is why the Holy Kingdom has made no compromises with cannibals. ···(omitted)··· And now that it has been liberated from cannibals, it seeks to establish friendly relations with Korea.]

There was applause when he said he wanted to build friendly relations, but Maru continued talking calmly.

The reality of the Confederacy, ruled by cannibals. Cases of parents sacrificing their children and lovers sacrificing their lovers to become cannibals and vampires.

And silence fell over the National Assembly chamber at the news that the city controlled by cannibals had been purified with a hydrogen bomb.

Everyone was speechless at Maru’s casual story of how he had nuclear-wiped London, England, Paris, France, and several cities in Texas, a key state in the Confederacy.

‘Are you threatening me just now?’

‘Are you saying that if you become a cannibal, you will use nuclear weapons?’

‘Crazy. You blew up an entire city?’

‘The information was true. The Holy Kingdom is a crazy country.’

‘You say you purified it after using a hydrogen bomb?’

‘What are you thinking?’

And then the bombshell statement followed.

[I will show you here the evidence of how vicious and sophisticated the cannibalistic forces that control China, Japan, and Russia are.]

‘What are you talking about?’

‘You’re showing evidence here.’

A few people who felt ominous tried to leave the conference room, but the Holy Kingdom’s guards were controlling the main conference room without anyone knowing when the entrance was blocked.

“What is this? Armed forces controlling entry into the sacred National Assembly!”

A member of the National Assembly who was stopped from going outside shouted to the gathered press and broadcasters. The camera turned to the fully armed Holy Kingdom guard. The guard, equipped with exosuits and core armor, stood proudly before the cameras.

“This is Korea. Korea!”

“You didn’t force me? If this isn’t force, then what is?”

“A reciprocal relationship? Is this a reciprocal relationship?”

The commotion grew louder. The media broadcasted breaking news about the unbelievable reality that the Holy Kingdom had deployed armed forces to the National Assembly.

What on earth are you thinking?

What is the government doing?

While the National Assembly is under foreign military control, where are the SWAT and National Assembly guards and what are they doing?

In the midst of the chaos that spread in an instant, the floor on the stage gave a thud.

At the loud noise, as if a bomb had exploded, the lawmakers who were trying to fight their way through the room, who were swearing and struggling, stopped as if a pause button had been pressed.

[Shut your mouth and sit down.]

A sense of ominous energy was seeping out from the stage. A terrible fear began to spread.

Even those who shouted, “They are allies and this is an action for humanity?” have now kept their mouths shut.

Those who were close to the stage were half-breathless, and those who were near the door were frozen.

The guards, bolstered by a combination of cardiac stimulants and battle stimulants, lifted the frozen members of the National Assembly into their seats.

Maru, standing on the stage, spoke while holding a white paper cup.

[The paper cup on the table is a cannibal identification kit. It’s easy to use. Just spit on it. Spit right in.]

“This. This is an outrage! This is an outrage!”

“Are you insulting the National Assembly and ignoring Korea?”

A congressman stood up, trembling, and shouted. Then brisk footsteps came toward him.

Kkiyungkkiyung-

[You talk a lot. Let’s- Ah-, Ah- try it.]

!!!

The mechanical hand violently pulled out the jaw joint of the screamer.

Kujik-hehehehe-

A member of the National Assembly, who was in pain from having his jaw joint pulled out raw, and was at a loss with tears, snot, and drool. Ms. Kim put the dripping liquid into a diagnostic kit.

And for a moment, Ms. Kim smiled brightly at the sight of the white paper cup turning red.

[If there’s a lot of useless talk, there’s a reason. Yeah.]

Kujik – She pushed back the jaw joint that had been pulled out, and gave a signal while arresting the congressman who was identified as a cannibal.

Compulsory testing has begun.

Korea was seething with anger at the live broadcast of the cannibal identification test and detection results. Of the 300 members of the National Assembly, a whopping 32 were found to be cannibals.

They were members of the National Assembly from the western part of Gyeonggi Province including Incheon, members of the National Assembly from Gangwon Province, members of the National Assembly from Busan and nearby districts, and some proportional representation members.

They denied all ties to China, Japan, and Russia, but there was no room for lies in the face of the Holy Kingdom’s information extraction technology.

Based on the information extracted from them, evidence was compiled to prove the involvement of China, Japan, and Russia.

The speech of the King of the Holy Kingdom was transformed into a hearing on foreign intervention, and even in the midst of it, there was continued condemnation of the Holy Kingdom’s military intervention in the National Assembly.

Maru emphasized once again that it was the favor of the Holy Kingdom that helped him find the cannibals who had infiltrated the National Assembly and the evidence of foreign intervention.

‘You call it a favor by using force in the National Assembly?’

‘Trampling on Korea’s sovereignty and calling it favor!’

There was a flood of criticism and condemnation in the live chat room. And the Black Drake’s assistant AI tracked the IP addresses of those who were extremely critical and condemning the actions of the Holy Kingdom.

[It has been confirmed that there are areas controlled by Chinese refugees and areas controlled by Japanese refugees.]

[Release the data immediately.]

‘This is a trick to destroy peace and harmony in East Asia.’

‘All the cannibal information is fabricated.’

‘As expected, it was the Chinese and Japanese kids who were the ones causing trouble.’

‘They sold the country because they thought it was good for them, and now they blame China and Japan.’

“Isn’t that the story of how you destroy an enemy country from within by destroying people’s perception?”

“Isn’t that what China and Japan are saying about Korea?”

‘Even if that’s the case with China, isn’t Japan an ally of Korea? The Korea-US-Japan alliance.’

‘What the hell. Since when has Japan been an ally?’

‘That’s not what’s important now. There’s evidence that the Holy Kingdom has been hacking the internet and spying on civilians.’

‘Wow, creepy. We just defeated the cannibals and now they’re coming out again.’

Public opinion was incensed.

======

======

The bomb didn’t fall just once.

[In order to support Korea’s establishment as an independent nation, we will provide the Holy Kingdom with strategic nuclear weapons···.]

[There will be regular trade between the Holy Kingdom and Korea···.]

This was followed by talk of giving strategic nuclear weapons to China to counter the pressure from seven Chinese and Japanese refugees, and announcements of increased economic cooperation.

The National Assembly main conference room and the real-time chat room literally turned into chaos. Ki-soon pleaded with Maru, who threw the bomb and confidently came down from the stage.

[No. Seriously. Your Majesty, please let me know in advance. Let’s turn on our blinkers so we know where we’re going.]

[This was the fastest and most reliable way.]

Ha- This again.

Ki-soon shook her head at Maru’s sharp answer, as if there was no room for doubt.

[Everything is good, but why did you say you would give us strategic nuclear weapons?]

[South Korea must possess strategic nuclear weapons. They won’t pay attention to us.]

[Is that why you made it public that you were trying to find cannibals?]

[okay.]

If you think about it positively, it means that he gave her a chance while also taking advantage of her. Ki-soon’s squinted eyes narrowed even further.

‘The issue of adopting newborns and the demand for command of the regenerative unit will be included.’

The South Korean government and National Assembly would be preoccupied with dealing with the bombs that fell. It was clear that they would not be able to find fault with the Holy Kingdom, which promised to keep its promises.

‘I guess it was intentional.’

That wasn’t all.

‘Probably. You must have checked it yourself.’

That guy Maru. He thought like a king and judged like a king.
