Chapter 108 Blessings and disasters, two meteorites-3
________________________________________________________________________________
This country, the Korean peninsula, is condemned.
Stories like that circulate on the Internet.
This is because after the 4th Wave, the worst event, happened more than just misfortune throughout the Korean Peninsula and something like a disaster continued.
Abaddon Devil Summoning Ceremony, Organization of Devil Devils of Alchemy Factory, Black Orc Royal Propaganda Decree ... ... And now two meteorites collided ...
This land is clearly damned. Otherwise it cannot be explained.
But on the other hand, there is also a saying like that.
"Yes, I'm cursed! But the savior is with me! "
The name of the savior that appears with the curse ... ... That is Lee Hyun-wook.
He was the one who resolved all the cases, so it was appropriate.
In this atmosphere, another disaster began on Jeju Island, and it was natural that Lee Hyun-wook appeared in his mind reflectively.
"...Maybe Lee Hyun-wook won't appear again this time? "
As if meeting these expectations, "Friedwen" floated in the Seoul sky.
Ooh ooh ooh—
"That's ... Lee Hyun-wook's ship, right? "
" ... Are you talking about Friedwen? eh? Really!"
But this time it was not the end.
"But...well, what is that thing?"
Since then, 12 non-exhibitions have been queued.
Ooh ooh ooh—
The steel body, the silvery white body, reflects the sunlight and shines continuously. And it feels like watching a group of whales swimming fast across the Seoul sky, only making a small vibration without a loud sound.
Yes, it was definitely a sight that could be called a 'fleet'.
"Wow... I've never seen anything like that."
"Of course. Nothing like that has ever happened."
The strange and large parade of the 13 ship fleets leading Frieden, their photos and videos spread through the Internet.
-[Breaking News] Jung-gu, Seoul, an unknown ship fleet appears (1 report)
– [Breaking News] 13 ships that appeared in the sky of Seoul, is Laputa is the source?
The reporters had a hard time finding out where the fleet was.
However, I didn't get much information.
"Senior, I just contacted the Seoul AMT Air Defense Command, and it said it was a licensed aircraft. However, it is a secret where it is…"
"No, are these kids sane? Does it make sense that society is still unstable with such things in the sky of Seoul?"
As long as they are from Laputa, they must have something to do with the government, but even if you contact the relevant department, the only answer is that there is nothing we can tell you.
However, there is only one thing that is certain for them.
"Okay, hey! Come to think of it, is Friedwen in that fleet, right?"
"Ah? Then, does that mean Lee Hyun-wook is definitely in that fleet?"
"Yes, and he even led it, That's amazing!"
In the end, the title of the article was made with just such a reason… … .
-It's thought to be led by Lee Hyun-wook, the unknown ship fleet (1 report)
"… … Oh, also, the number of views is soaring?"
Just mentioning Lee Hyun-wook in the title of the article was already soaring.
"Okay, I want to add a more provocative keyword here."
"Yes? What keyword should I put in?"
"So, that's the only word that will catch your attention."
After the prediction that Lee Hyun-wook was part of the fleet came out, reporters poured out all sorts of speculations, and some started giving him nicknames at will.
-Is this Lee Hyun-wook's 〈Steel Armada〉surprise attack on Jeju Island?
***
-" Steel Armada " leaving the metropolitan area has stopped moving at Gyeryongdae in Gyeryong City, Chungcheongnam-do, and Friedwen's flagship ship landed ... ...
Inside Friedwen, radio news came out.
"Wow, steel Armada..... do you like it?"
Kim Se-hee asked while sipping.
" ... ... I will."
Starting with the Steel Company, the name is too one-dimensional.
To be honest, when viewed objectively, it is true that it is a very bad name.
''Because I still persist in being called the Great Steel Festival… … .'
The nickname given by the public seemed to have no choice but to act childishly.
"Let's see how great a nickname you'll get when you become famous later, Kim."
"I'm sorry, but I don't have the confidence to become that famous."
Then, I saw people approaching from afar. Among them were Woo Seong-moon and CEO Kang Seo-yoon. They joined this fleet.
However, Kang Seo-yoon, whom he met after a long time, had a frown on her face.
And towards Lee Hyun-wook, instead of greeting him, she asked endless questions.
"No, what happened to this?"
"What, what..."
"What's this! Where did the fleet suddenly come from?"
She glanced at Lee Hyun-wook and Woo Sung-moon looked around.
Still, I thought I was strengthening my friendship as a team like in the 4th wave, huh? But, Lee Hyun-wook, aren't you the one who serves our guild?"
"Haha… … Secrecy is hard to keep my loyalty."
Lee Hyun-wook smiled grimly.
'Kang Seo-yoon, someone you can trust, but… …I'm a guardian.'
After all, he was a Guardian, and the Guardian was not safe now. Anything that entered his eyes and ears was likely to hit the Villain.
'… … Gordon Price, dangerous until you get rid of him.'
"haha ... ... Confidentiality is difficult to maintain my loyalty. "
Lee Hyun-wook smiled grimly.
'Kang Seo-yoon, someone you can trust, but ... I am a guardian. '
After all, he was a Guard, and the Guard was now insecure. Whatever goes into his eyes and ears will most likely hit the Criminals.
' ... Gordon Price, dangerous until you get rid of it. '
It was a time when he was trusted more than anyone in the Guardian today.
That's because she supports the Guardian's mission with excess money.
You mean you secretly made something like this in Laputa?
"Haha— Yes, what...."
"Well, after all ... that's a good thing. Great."
As he murmured, he looked around Friedwen and the other fleet.
But ship pilots, are they trained well in a short time? Controlling it is not the same as an airplane or a helicopter."
"Well ... it is the result of all the hard work. You don't need to worry. "
It's too early to reveal the existence of "Gray Dwarf" here.
Therefore, the entrance to the cockpit of each non-engineer is tightly blocked.
"Hmm, by the way, thanks to this secret weapon, the lineage of operations is exposed, but isn't it better to borrow ship 〈Blue Tree〉?"
Even with regard to his recommendations, Woo Sung-moon gave a lukewarm reaction.
" ... First, we will try to do the initial operation ourselves. "
"No, why are you so conservative? I will be there to help. "
"It is not good to use electricity more than necessary and bring it from abroad. "
Hearing from Lee Hyun-wook that the point of impact of this meteorite was caused by several "induction objects ", Woo Sung-moon considered that this incident was also most likely "terrorism" and sharply warned of an outside approach.
If not, he will be liked by Gordon Price.
Therefore, Gordon Price's reputation throughout the world is very strong.
'That's why I can't identify him as a criminal. '
Gordon Price's greatest weapon is that fake image.
"Then, I'll start to Haenam, where the base camp is. "
Said Yeo Sang-min, who was in charge of Friedwen's control.
At first glance it does not seem to be that fast because of its heavy shape, but it is clear that this is an inefficient structure in terms of aerodynamics.
However, it is not only the output of the Dwarf engine that is strong, and air resistance is minimized by forming mana shield in a slim form.
Ooh ooh ooh—
Thus, the fleet maintains a speed of 600 km/ h and continues its journey south.
***
The AMT meeting place was formed in a large square in Haenam City, Jeollanam-do.
That was the base camp that was eyeing Jeju Island.
"— Move fast! Reportedly the steel armada is almost here! "
Now, AMT soldiers are trying to level the ship landing site.
A few moments later, a steel fleet arrived there.
"Wow ...."
The soldiers from the 7th AMT Anti-Evil Brigade stared blankly at his appearance.
13 magic ships come from the north sky. ... .
"What is it, isn't this very different from a helicopter squadron? "
"Yes, of course. For some reason, this is far more magnificent. "
To define such feelings, it is 'mystery'. A subtle feeling of a mixture of rejection and curiosity when facing a foreign existence ...
"Hey! Don't be crazy and finish the job! "
Next, eight wide area AMT magic controllers gathered and began preparing for the application of the "two-way portal ". Players from all over the country are expected to come soon.
"Did you get the 'link pattern ' from Article 2, Gyeongsang-do there? "
"Yes, I understand! "
"There are only 12 people going out, so don't be too big. "
"Yes I will!"
Soon, a number of two-way portals were deployed at the same time.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyun-wook was sitting at the door of Friedwen's lights.
'We need to examine the people mobilized for this operation one by one. '
I am listening to the list of participants in this attack, but I need to check if there are unexpected people, namely Villains, who will intervene.
Soon, the first interactive portal was opened.
"— Two-way portals have been deployed from Anyang!"
From there, 14 players came out.
" ... ... No, really, you didn't apply the defense buff at that time? "
In front, the woman with the kite shield was very upset.
Then, after that, the bespectacled man laughed as if he didn't make sense.
"Ah, I'm not an amateur ... Won Jun saw it correctly. "
"I got the ogre hammer, and I know best! "
"Huh? What did you take? Isn't it hit and reflected like a golf ball? "
"Ha, this is really a bastard ... and you don't know a future dedicated to covering up! "
The man and woman are ranked 18th and 19th in the alias player rank 'Anyang Duo'.
They are the only ones who have eliminated erosion factors other than the Steel Company during the 4th wave, and they cannot deal with it because of delays in the final battle.
'19th place Hyemin Lee and 18th place Kang Junseong are both wizard players. '
But uniquely, Hye-min Lee was in the tank position and Jun-sung Kang was in the shooter position, both of which were armed variants 'and united into a duo.
The reason is because they are Buff and Enchant Masters.
'This increases efficiency by implementing defense and attack options on each weapon. '
His characteristics are magic, but he realizes that his innate talent is close combat and shooting, and he develops his abilities that way.
Next, the two-way Gyeongsang provocation portal was opened.
A total of 21 players came out of there.
'They are a guild called the Nakdong River wizards.
Hee-sun Do, ranked 22nd, is a player who specializes in water-based magic.
And the remaining 11, his students are also water specialist magicians.
Because this operation boss monster has fire property, Paeton, the Fire Giant, it seems that a large number of wizards handling water, the opposite property, have been summoned.
Next, paladins and priests gathered from all over the country.
"So far there have been 21 Paladins and 31 Priests mobilized! "
Outside, Paeton is an attribute of fire, but its roots are "undead ". If you don't know it, you will attack without realizing it, and you will get into trouble.
Fortunately, Seoyoon Kang seems to have noticed it early on.
In total there were 149 players who responded to government summons requests.
First of all, there are quite a number because they are referred to as class B players or higher.
In addition, two AMT army brigades were deployed for combat support.
"Park team manager! Did everyone come here? "
From afar, Seoyoon Kang's voice echoes.
In this operation, he served as "commander of the Jeju " operation site.
"There is still one person who hasn't arrived from Seoul. "
"Huh? The gate from Seoul was closed earlier. "
"Yes, but he said he was a bit late. "
"What? Who ... Is that Han tae-san? "
On his question, a man named Team Leader Park nodded.
At that time, the gate from Seoul began to open again.
" ... ... No, the child is real!"
From there, a big man walked out casually.
It was Han Tae-san, a man named Kwon Wang (宜王) or Taho (情宜).
He has long hair tied with a rope and wearing a green shirt.
And, as usual, he carried a backpack on his right shoulder.
"-Hi!"
Kang Seo-yoon chuckles and yells at him.
"Huh?"
"How much should you eat because of yourself! Do you know how much labor, and money are used to open interactive portals? "
Han Tae-san, who examined his face, showed a very annoying expression.
"Ha... Why does auntie scream as we meet after all this time? "
"What? Ah, auntie..."
"No, to be honest, if you want to mobilize as much as me, can you use that much? "
After all, from the first word, it was an extraordinary remark.
"To be honest, do you know how much it costs to hire an S class player like me as a mercenary? If I run for a mercenary in Chad at this time, I will live unfairly! "
"This child, you must know that because of my country you grew up like that! "
"No, that is the ability that I got from my luck. What should this country do? "
From the outside, it looks like a style that unsettles society, but still, as the best force in the country, the moment when it is needed is a good thing.
' ... ... However, the problem is that they complain enough to feel upset. '
At one time, Lee Hyun-wook was also combined with Han Tae-san and the duo concept.
Before his previous life, Seo Eun-ha, Han Tae-san was Lee Hyun-wook's special tank.
However ... ... Before Lee Hyun-wook grew up well, he died.
"Oh, is that a steel Armada? I..."
At that time, Han tae-san looked attractive and approached non-exhibitions.
"Well, up close to what, it looks like it's broken when hit? "
that ... ... I don't know how true that is if it's based on Mount Hantae.
"Oh ... this one is gone, looks fine? "
Friedwenn was the one who received such an assessment. He whistled while slapping Friedwen's body with his palm. Then I found Lee Hyun-wook.
"Hmm, shame on the spectacle because the owner is sitting eating a grocery. "
" ... ... Mr. Han Tae-san, hasn't seen you in a long time. "
He grinned and stepped.
"Handsome man in Seoul, Lee Hyun-wook ... I've seen you before, right? "
"Yes, it happened during the previous Seoul Station unlucky Event. "
"I didn't know it before, but I found out later. I almost attacked the savior of Seoul for ignoring my words several times. "
He shouted and reached out his hand.
'There is only one case when such a rude child asks for a handshake. '
Lee Hyun-wook focused all his sculptures on the gloved hands, and Han Tae-san's evil hand jerked like a crocodile's mouth, taking his hand.
Chin—Wow—
From a handshake, screaming ... ...
"Oh, do you have better strength than you think? "
Lee Hyun-wook's grip was stronger than expected, and his eyebrows moved. However, if Han Tae-san gave him strength, Lee Hyun-wook's hand might break. This monster is at least one of the best-powered monsters in the world.
'But it is my utmost expertise to choose this person. '
Lee Hyun-wook smiled and showed metal control.
OK....
"—Ugh!"
Han Tae-san groaned and grabbed his head.
"...Why did you do that?"
"Ah, why does my head suddenly hurt and damn it. "
He shook his head as if strange.
'Because Han tae-san bones are made of metal, I can hold and shake them. '
It was one of Han tae-san 's passive skills called "steel frame ".
Of course, because this is a unique object weighing one gram, it cannot be destroyed or changed like ordinary metal, and it is best to lift its body into the air.
'That may be allowed for addition between players. '
But even so, if Han Tae-san himself realizes it and tries to reject it, he can easily limit it ... ... This person didn't even realize it in his previous life.
Seeing that, it is a style with a very boring side.
"By the way, you ... the last time you stole my sat number, right? "
This is a story at the Seoul Station unlucky Event.
At that time, Hyun-wook Lee obtained "Mananan Mak Rir's Secret Armor ".
"At that moment, when you go home and think carefully, I remember you putting some kind of saliva in the heart of the boss monster like a mouse. What?"
"Haha— Did you realize it too? "
"But don't dream this time. Even if you have deployed thousands of shots to see if you are a steel rain or what, you will collect contributions, but you will chase my fist. "
He put on a childish cover with a happy look,
Lee Hyun-wook nodded and quietly showed control of the metal.
"Oh! Oh sir. Why is your condition like this today? "
He turned, scratched his cheek, as if he had forgotten when trying to say more.
"...Oh!"
***
And the next day, as soon as there was a break, preparations for the surprise attack began. Hundreds of players move simultaneously and ride 13 ships.
-... ... Steel Armada, take off!
Sign of a sudden attack fell on the Base Camp Command. Because there is no "call sign " to say this, the nickname was adopted as a call sign.
Thus, 13 non-engineers flew towards the South Sea.
As the altitude gradually increases, the Namhae islands lie beneath one's feet.
"Oh, this is Friedwen, the operations commander tells the entire fleet. "
Next to Lee Hyun-wook, Kang Seo-yoon grabbed mana messenger.
"As we gave yesterday, our operating objectives have not yet reached the target. First, after landing at Jeju International Airport, the area was purified to prevent access of evil spirit monsters to make 'base ' to connect to land. ."
The biggest problem with this attack is that the target area is an island.
Therefore, infiltration, spread, and escape are difficult situations.
And most importantly, even the way out of the islanders is blocked.
" ... ... By doing this, the main objective is to evacuate residents to inland and secure ways to transport troops and supplies in the future. "
The number of isolated civilians on Jeju Island alone is 700,000.
If they set up a base at Jeju International Airport and then purify the entire region,
It's possible to block access "Red Wisp", troublesome evil spirits.
That way, sea lanes and airways will return to function.
And how long passed, gray smoke began to appear in the distance.
"Hmm... Initially, you should have seen Jeju Island from here. "
But now, the sky of Jeju Island is surrounded by gray smoke, so satellites cannot see what is happening there.
However, from the inside, red light began to spread.
that... ...
"A large number of Red Wisps are approaching, about 10 km ahead! "
"Woo! Finally started ... All fleets sound air strike alarms. "
Kang Seo-yoon grabbed a bow around him while biting his teeth.
champ-! champ-! champ-! champ-!
Red Blobs, they fly in groups and when they find moving objects, they stick and emit superheated heat. In just the day yesterday, there were dozens of planes and ships that had fallen so badly.
They are running fiercely now.
Shortly thereafter, it was filled with lights that were on map everywhere.
"-Crashing!"
I-that-that-that-—!
They were sent to a magic shield and made loud noises.
gulp-
Everyone looked out the window with a nervous expression.
A red light everywhere, as if jumping into a fire.
However ... that's all.
"eh?"
"Wow, what ... really ship? "
Seeing that view, the players will surely admire him. Thousands of red blobs crossed, but there was no damage.
"And that too, are there many holy powers in this secret? "
A priest player who can feel the holy power is added.
It is true.
Lee Hyun-wook had to repair the fuselage with metal that was bewitched with holy power first. The demons will no longer chase the steel Armada.
But from the inside, I heard the sound of Han Tae-san's nostril.
"Huh, what is the spooky of cigarette lights like this? "
Then I leaned back on the chair and began to fall asleep.
' ... ... Seeing it again, I really hate it. '
When proud Han Tae-san took on the role of "special tanker " of Lee Hyun-wook, Lee Hyun-wook had just emerged as the best dealer.
'At that time, I had difficulty with the man's dirty nature ... ... '
However, after breaking into a red blob like that, I arrived off Jeju beach.
It will soon reach Jeju beach.
... ... that was then.
-Cheek-
"Huh? Mana communication seems to come from somewhere. "
-Chijiji—
A rough sound flowed from where the messenger was mounted on Friedwen.
-This is Jeju International Airport Shelter! Can you hear the Steel Arma?
Radio from their destination ... ... That is a very urgent voice.
"This is a steel Armada, what happened? "
-Play now!
" ... ... Please explain clearly what it means. "
-Of course, you can't come here — chijiji— here, suddenly — very— chijiji— ... ... Don't try to land here!
It was a clear warning message contained in a disconnected radio.
" ... Huh? Please resend! "
-Chijiji—
"Jeju International Airport, please resend! Jeju International Airport, respond! "
After that, I tried to contact you several times, but it couldn't be connected.
And that's when the appearance of Jeju International Airport has begun to appear.
