Chapter 123 Absolute Firepower - 3
________________________________________
"Uh-huh— how are you? Really extraordinary, right? "
After the exam, Kang Hee-seol asked with a proud expression on his face.
"Hey, tell me as soon as possible! To be honest, are you really surprised? "
Yes, I have no choice but to acknowledge Lee Hyun-wook in this section. No, I can't hide my admiration.
"Yes, by far the best thing I've ever seen ... No, that's probably the best production item in history. "
Hee-seol Kang raised his fist to hear those words.
"Continue to — I must be a talented nerd!"
Lee Hyun-wook invested almost everything in the development of magic techniques a few months ago.
However, the pace of development was much faster than Lee Hyun-wook's expectations.
I just felt it while testing an orbital launcher made from the core of a solar train.
' ... ... I never thought that I would reach this level. '
Kang Jeong-doo and Kang Hee-seol, I have no doubt about the abilities of the two blacksmiths.
However, because Hyun-wook Lee generously provided nutrition, they really developed.
When synergies like 'Laputa' and 'Gray Dwarf' are added ... ...
'Soon, even Laputa has momentum to clone.
That's excessive and excessive, but Lee Hyun-wook is very excited at the moment.
"Uncle, the price is expensive, so handle it carefully! "
At the place where Kang Hee-seol's cry was heard, where the blacksmiths landed, covered with waterproof cloth.
In fact, the 'core of the solar train ' which drives the giant mechanical device has permanent power, so it can continue to float in space. However, because this is a 'prototype ', there is a risk that other parts can be damaged.
'I guess I have to take out a large plane and take it with me.'
It seems that an airplane is needed large enough to store a 15m3 cube.
And that's not all that has been prepared by blacksmiths.
Kang Jeong-doo carried an iron box with a bloody warning message attached to it.
"President Lee, 'explosive metal spear ' you mentioned is also finished, do you want to see it? "
– Explosion warning (!)
"Yes, let's try now. "
horrified-
Inside is an iron bar that is about 50 cm long.
[Item information]
– Name: Fire Spear (Normal)
– Effect: When it is inserted, it causes 'explosion of fire '.
"The effect of this explosion is actually only disposable, so I made it a regular class. "
This area has been converted to 'Fire Sanctuary ' and 'Eternal Fire Tower ' have been added, making it easier to enchant fire magic. In other words, 'explosive metal weapons ' of this type can be mass produced.
Hyeonwook Lee He slowly aired it in the air, then threw it on an empty ground that served as a weapons testing ground.
When it flies like an ordinary spear and gets stuck — Lee Hyun-wook gives it mana.
Then the entire window sill glows red, and in an instant turns yellow.
Wow —–!
An explosion occurred, similar to a grenade that was dropped.
Now there is only one shot, the destructive power seems to be just that.
'But if you fall hundreds or thousands of feet ... ... this will be what is often referred to as carpet bombing. '
Lee Hyun-wook nodded his head with satisfaction.
Okay.Please make this as much as you can.
"Yes, for now, I think we can produce around 50 pieces a day. "
"And if you don't have enough staff, don't work too hard and hire more staff. "
"Yes, right. Besides that, do you have further instructions? "
Hyun-wook Lee nodded and took out AD-1 and took out two items.
"Oh, and ... may I use this ball on this item? "
One of them is none other than Mjölnir.
"Hah— hey, this is a legendary item huh?"
Even the best blacksmith, Kang Jeong-doo, could not hide his shock at the appearance of the legendary weapon.
Even the rest are legendary items, which ... ...
[Item information]
– Name: Sun Fragment (Legend)
– Effect: Gives items 'Strength of Helios'.
"Ugh-!"
Previously, Mowglay was given 'Salamander's Orb (hero) ' to get a strong skill.
But if you give the legendary class ball to Mjölnir, which is a huge legendary class ... ...
'I don't know what kind of monster that will be. '
***
War will come. That is a self-evident fact.
However, there is no way to avoid war.
Despite knowing the storm was coming, it was finally like being swept away ...
So, right now, who is most worried about Korea?
It must be Woo Seong-moon, head of the National Gate Response Strategy Office.
He is now looking at downtown Seoul from the back seat of a moving car.
Skyscrapers who stand tall after overcoming a crisis that almost collapsed ... ...
The strength of this country seems to emanate from the solidity of the building's forests.
However ...
'Soon there will be a big wave. If we don't do it right, this country will sink like a ferry. '
At present, Black Orc troops are gathering in the Black Orc Kingdom in Shanghai.
'The number of black oaks counted this morning ... ... There are already more than 10,000.'
Even the number of 'wyvern' that seems to have been used to bring such a large amount of power to 391.
Have there ever been that many monsters gathered in one place in history?
There is no doubt that the Black Orc Kingdom was stronger than when the 'Shanghai Restoration War ' ago.
'If they land on this land, Korea might enter the second era of colonial rule. '
On the other hand, this fact can be witnessed through any artificial satellite and is well known to the public.
– [Latest News] Preparation for the Shanghai Orc Royal War Taken (2 Steps)
– Kingdom of the Black Orc, a military movement captured about two months after the declaration of war 'Why now? '
– Increased public unrest over 'visualization ' war with the Black Orc Kingdom that has not been able to be won by China ... ... the response?
– Gate response expert " did not occur, so we might not be the target. "
This country was once again hit by the horrors of war.
"This will be a disaster after the fourth wave. We must gather all our strength. '
Woo Seong-moon was busy before this commotion. They keep in touch with their allies and ask for a joint response, and ask the civil union to do everything in their power in the event of an emergency.
Then they will all do their best to help in the event of a war ... ... It was once said so.
But strangely, they also did not believe it.
"They say that they are allies, but they all have a dark side inside, so they won't ... "
Once upon a time humanity was united with a humanitarian mission addressing the national gate.
But humanity, which fully adapts to these difficult times ... ... He started selfish politics again.
All countries that said they would send troops in the event of a war all called 'Laputa'.
Simply put, this is a clear intention to get the right to use Laputa in return for sending troops.
' ... It's not that I don't understand, but it's stupid. '
As a transcendent object, Laputa is a creature capable of destabilizing the international situation, so it is natural to want it.
However, the Korean government has not made any decisions and there has been no war. Still, the way they got together and talked about 'Laputa joint operation ' was ... ... That was insulting.
In other words, when he borrowed the power of his allies, he had no choice but to take Laputa hostage. Moreover, if war really breaks out and the Republic of Korea's national power weakens, then the country will try to do more.
'And if war breaks out, all private guilds will be busy protecting themselves ... ... .'
When the 4th wave occurred, the benefits were revealed. In an era when individuals have too much power, a sense of solidarity fades drastically. This is also a new social problem.
As his last hope, Woo Seong-moon met with strong players he could trust one after another.
Among them, Lee Seong-yun, who in the past year has not set foot on the Korean Peninsula, is ranked first in the country.
If 'Jimunnarae Attack Team 1' he leads is considered to have more power than any AMT division.
So, the day I met him, of course I asked him to join us in the coming war.
But the answer is back ...
"Um ... Chairman, I'm sorry, but I can't stop this 'quest' now."
His voice is firm.
I don't know what kind of search is more important than the existence of a homeland ...
Woo Seong-moon cannot criticize Lee Sung-yoon's indifference.
'I know. How important is what Seongyoon Lee and his party are doing ... ... '
He has focused on certain missions while attacking high-level gates around the world for the past three years.
The reason is to prevent the worst 'event ' from the massive end of humanity '.
"Don't you know it well? The last event of this game is ultimately 'Apocalypse'.
He continued, saying that a glance alone could change the success or failure of the mission.
"Hmm, Titanomachiara ... "
"Yes? Chairman, what did you say? "
As Sung-Moon Woo muttered, Team Leader Lee Gyo-Jun turned his head from the front passenger seat.
"No, nothing."
The giant invasion of Titanomachia will one day begin.
That is the last prediction of the player "Prophet " who died three years ago.
Some of the top players, including Lee Seong-yoon, quietly struggled to prevent that day.
But before that happened, this country was trampled by the Black Orc Kingdom.
"below ...."
Woo Seong-moon feels impatient.
No matter how much I think about it, its strength feels reduced.
That's when.
"Chairman, this is news from Laputa. Lee Hyun-wook ... finally returned. "
Just by hearing the news, it seems like some of the core in Woo Sung-mun's chest has been resolved.
Finally, the most reliable and strongest weapon to date has returned.
"And now, he says he is looking for his chairman. "
"Uh, why? "
"I think there is something I want to convey to you about the coming war. "
Woo Seong-moon was relieved once more. Like Lee Hyun-wook, he hasn't forgotten the war.
'And maybe he prepared himself more clearly than anyone else. '
Woo Seong-moon, conscious and unconscious, has expectations.
"Lee is the team leader, I'm going to Laputa now. "
***
Since Lee Hyun-wook returned, the situation began to change quickly.
First of all, the sky begins to turn yellow as a sign of the end times.
This is not a common pollution phenomenon such as yellow dust or fine dust.
This is similar to how the sky in Seoul turned purple when the 4th wave occurred.
– [Breaking News] The phenomenon of the sky on the Korean Peninsula turns yellow, considered a wartime event (1 report)
– The beginning of the battle fortune event ... ... Is this an inevitable war?
This phenomenon is often referred to as "war fortune event ", and is a picture shortly before the war.
At this time, the production capacity of all manufacturing players will increase and an experience improvement event will begin. This can be interpreted as an invitation from the system itself to prepare for the coming war.
The Ministry of National Defense takes the phenomenon seriously and places all AMT units in "defense readiness posture ". In addition, when a player mobilization order is issued, all assault activities including private guilds are stopped and war preparations begin.
Evacuation orders are not issued because the enemy has not moved.
However, almost all functions of the Republic of Korea are completely stopped.
Seoul, the center of a big city, once again fell silent.
And now, a helicopter passes between the buildings.
Doo doo doo doo–
"The leader of this team, Black Orcs, how many are there now? "
In the helicopter, team leader Lee Kyo-jun held out a tablet PC to answer Woo Seong-moon's question.
– 13,551
– 511
At present, there are 13,551 Black Orc soldiers and 511 Wyvern ... ...continuing to increase.
"And if you look at the next picture, they say they are preparing a lot of 'totem' too."
" ... Alright, right? What is this? "
"This is not just a totem for religious reasons, there must be magic in it. It is said that the Black Orcs were often seen installing such totems during the Shanghai Restoration War. "
Maybe when they land on the Korean Peninsula, all kinds of strange spells will spread.
Then another disturbing news appeared.
"I ... Chairman, you have to see this too."
Team Leader Lee Kyo-jun presented another tablet PC. what video is that
Don't press the play button —
– Alright, hello viewers! Do you know where this is?
"This person is Liu Yuan, a Chinese soldier, and he is also a famous Internet broadcaster in China. "
Woo Seong-moon looked at Lee Kyo-jun with an expression of why he was showing reckless things.
"Great, but the place on video ... is the gathering place for Black Oaks in Shanghai."
Then, Seongmoon Woo opened his eyes wide and looked at the background of the man in the video.
I could see buildings that were half collapsed, and Wyverns flying between them.
And the screams of the Orcs sounded loud from here and there.
– You must be surprised how I could be here. Me, too!
"That person, he said, was invited by the Kingdom of Orc. And he said that Chinese public broadcasters would arrive soon and report on the position of the Black Orcs. Unconfirmed information, but ... It doesn't seem like you speak in vain when you see it standing there. "
Meaning now, the Black Orc Kingdom has invited media officials to human society.
– Everyone, did you see it there? Wow ... ... It seems like there are more than one hundred thousand Orcs gathered here! And soon, one of the key figures of the Black Orc Kingdom will go on that podium! Wow! From my point of view, this is probably the worst event of all time. To be honest ... it must be fun right?
"Hehe, really ... "
This is an astonishing situation in many ways. Towards the war, the position of the monster was conveyed through human media ... ... when did the world become so strange?
" ... ... The end of days have finally arrived. "
It was a sight he did not easily understand.
And then the helicopter reaches its destination, Laputa.
They were welcomed by the giant bronze giant, Talos.
Buk- Buk-
「(^_^) Welcome! Sir is waiting for you. "
Until monsters like that welcome guests ... ... Laputa visitors can't seem to make a fuss.
They are guided to the Order Tower, where they face Hyun-wook Lee.
"Chief Woo, I was going to visit, but thank you for coming all the way here. "
After saying that, Lee Hyun-wook turned and looked at the sky outside the window.
"By the way, this is faster than I thought. Since the fortune of the war began, will the war begin soon? "
Lee Kyo-jun answered the question.
"From satellite monitoring, the collection procession is still ongoing, so there are at least four more days left. "
Hyunwook Lee nodded and lifted the metal pen into the air.
"Four days ... "
He seemed to ponder for a moment, then open his mouth.
" ... But, their aggression must have begun. No, it's been a long time. "
"Do you remember the first attack? They are polymorphs who turn into humans and try to kill me. As I recall, at that moment, through strange magic, a number of Orcs were called. That is, one way or another, already on the Korean peninsula. They infiltrated ... and they prepared for war. "
No matter how small a country is surrounded by the sea on all three sides, it cannot prevent the smuggling of foreigners.
However, if a large organization tries to infiltrate using strange magic, how do you prevent it?
"So, this war ... will begin after you make use of your profits on the other side. "
But all that was also realized by Woo Sung-moon.
"Hmm ... isn't that the reason you asked to meet me in connection with this war? "
Hyunwook Lee nodded and put the coffee cup he was holding on the table.
"This war is inevitable, and the enemy situation is much better. We cannot fight like this. "
That is an undeniable fact.
"Right ... even though we won, it is likely that we will cause great damage and our country will collapse. "
China's national power also weakened after the war with the Black Orcs. Even though it's only 'attack '.
"Yes, so we need to change the situation for our benefit before the start of the war. "
Hearing the words of Lee Hyun-wook, Woo Seong-moon and Lee Kyo-jun could not hide their confused expressions.
If that is possible, I should try it now.
"So I mean, as I said before, let's attack first."
"Yes? Maybe ... Magic missile, is such an object developed? "
However, because it was only a few weeks since we had such a conversation, the preparations for the Black Orcs war were much faster than expected. Realistically, there is no time to develop new missiles.
Not surprisingly, Lee Hyun-wook shook his head.
"Unfortunately, that is not the case. "
Woo Seong-moon, who had been waiting for him for some time, became numb.
At that moment, Hyun-wook Lee shook his head and began turning the pen quickly in his hand.
shhh-shhh-
"But I have an extraordinary firepower that can eliminate all who gather there."
Lee Hyun-wook is the one who speaks with confidence and a strong tone. However, no matter how much they think about it, after taking the risk of crossing the West Sea, they cannot think of a way to launch an appropriate attack on the enemy's main forces.
It is impossible even if there are 10 Generals "Archmage" Choi Jeong-cheol to eliminate that great power.
And even if there are ten, they are not stupid and there is no way they would allow infiltration, right?
"In conclusion, instead of the magic missile I mentioned earlier ... "
Lee Hyun-wook said so, and removed the metal control from the pen raised above his head.
pong—
A free-falling ballpoint pen, the metal chunks fall into a stainless steel cup and splash all over the coffee grounds.
" ... ... I will fall on their heads. "
He is an extraordinary weapon itself.
