Chapter 838: The Last (71)

On the one side, the corrupted plague scum terrorized the entire continent.

In fact, he was a villain who left an indelible wound in the hearts of many people, not to mention he did enough damage to make the group of the Federation unable to function as a nation.

It was enough to make it impossible to calculate the material and national damage.

The day of destruction and prophecy was the foreign war, but it might have been the summoning of the 27th Legion that gave a great shock to many people’s memories.

The other side was demon summoning trash that needed no explanation.

Before the 27th Legion Summoning incident, there was Demon Summoning trash.

He was the one who pulled the trigger of war on a peaceful continent and plunged mankind into chaos. A real demon who made even his subordinates into undead and thrust a spear at mankind.

The first demon involved was Ito Souta, but it was probably the Republic’s demon summoner garbage that raised the awareness and danger of demons. Except for the four outer angels and the strange light, those two villains were the evil representatives of the continent.

Not just strong idiots, but villains who were sleazy, mean, and threw away their humanity.

It was also a rare sight to see them recognizing each other and having a brain battle.

‘Honestly, it’s a bit of a dream.’

Personally, I liked the story of the hero being born out of the mud, but I didn’t hate this story either.

A clash of villains who thought they were higher than others bit and slandered each other, escalating into dogfights and ultimately sinking into ruin.

It was a little minor, but as I always said, a fight between bad guys was the most enjoyable.

He was a plague scum with an annoying face, but he had a strong sense of pride, so he was probably a bit confused.

Perhaps it was doubt. At some point, there’s no way he wouldn’t have noticed that the status of the frontlines was suddenly changing.

It was invisible when inside it but visible when watching it. The troops felt like they were doing the same thing as usual, but in a broader sense, they weren’t.

It was quite spectacular and seemed like a magnificent sight, witnessing a hundred and a dozen large and small battles change their course of action from one moment to the next.

—That’s funny.

‘It wouldn’t feel so funny.’

It wasn’t that their main units collided or a big battle was going on right now.

Jin Qing’s goal was to create an environment for the main unit to advance. No, it was to prepare the main unit to reach its goal. Finishing preparations for the campaign within 28 hours would have meant that Cha Hee-ra would help the moving unit reach the enemy’s heart.

To exaggerate a little, the series of processes was no different than a strategy simulation game.

It wasn’t about gathering resources to produce troops.

However, it was necessary to rearrange the existing army, designate new units, prepare the best place and the best time to fight, and simultaneously conduct continuous attrition.

They underwent the process of occupying a better position than the enemy, responding to the number of opponents, and consuming the considered difficult classes.

In that sense, the seeds sown by the plague trash could be said to be the best choice.

He had to have been thinking that the plague trash had created the background he wanted.

He made difficult terrain an inviolable area, and it froze the enemy priests and troops effectively.

A lot of things had become entangled, like a spider’s web, to say that it was simply to create an infected area out of hatred for humanity. He succeeded in creating the best battlefield that didn’t allow having various variables.

‘No… At least I’m certain that she’s on the way to success.’

If Cha Hee-ra were really incompetent, she wouldn’t have been able to come at this point.

She couldn’t be exactly called intelligent, but she did not have a small amount of knowledge… and above all, she had a lot of talented people.

Of course, the most valuable thing she had was her sixth sense.

It was what made her figure out even the inexplicable battlefield.

Her instincts weren’t only shown in battle but also tactics. She realized the timing to enter and the timing to retreat, and her body would be feeling it before she thought with her head.

Although there wasn’t much time, the reason why she said she would give three days for the expedition was probably due to her intuition that told her to lead the main force as soon as possible.

Seventy-two hours that Cha Hee-ra thought.

Demon Summoning trash had the ability to shorten 72 hours to 28 hours by binding the infected areas and establishing an optimal route. He pushed out the main forces on the frontline where the plague trash was located by consuming the surplus forces.

‘You piece of trash.’

He reinterpreted the battlefield, thinking that the plague trash wasn’t important, and redefined it as a place that could only make him drool.

If it hadn’t been prepared in advance, things wouldn’t have been so easy.

-Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

-Push it! push it!

-There aren’t many enemy troops left! Push them!

-Come, you demon bastards!

-Keeeeeeeeek!

That battle taking place on one side was a small but important battle that could change the game of this war, and it was a warning message thrown at the plague trash by the Demon Summoner trash.

—Is a fake just a fake?

‘This bastard looks excited.’

His body language was honest, considering that he said he didn’t want to be involved.

I could see the arrogance of the way he was quietly sipping tea.

—It doesn’t matter if he’s there or not. He’s just an imaginary insect squirming, but that’s all. He’s just struggling.

Wasn’t the plague trash also raising his chin and opening his mouth?

—The fake one doesn’t seem to want to be taken away.

“How are things? Is everything going well?”

—It’s always the same. If there is something you want to take, there is also something you have to give away. He’s just paying the price for the gains made by the fake guy.

‘That’s how things work.’

That was the cost of maintaining the frontlines they occupied. Having many fronts meant that they had to allocate a limited number of troops to each point.

One move made by the Demon Summoner trash was nothing compared to asking if he could close the multiple escape holes in a large bank.

—Is this insect going to throw away his troops?

—It’s not about throwing them away. It’s not about sacrifice. It’s just about tying everyone up. Along with the forces the fake guy has, I mean.

—I’ll kill them all.

—If only this fake could do it. Can he even kill?

—I will dispatch Donovan.

—If you want to protect it, all you can do is dispatch a named entity, but how can the other fronts be blocked? Show it, fake bastard.

—The rest have no value, so much so that they’re unusable. It’s a pretty funny imitation, but how can I respond to a force you can’t influence? The incompetence of an insect is pitiful. This is also a tactic. It would feel like a foul to an insect, though.

—Abilities possessed by commanders or named are inherently influencing the battlefield. It looks great, but spreading an epidemic or creating an infected area is absurd. If the range is fixed and the trigger conditions exist, it’s not something that can’t be stopped.

—Lowly human bastard.

—You’re not fun to play with, but you’re better than the original, fake bastard.

‘It’s a real mess. It’s a mess.’

I could cut the tension between them with a knife.

‘Maybe it’s because they’re villains that they’re fighting too hard. It’s disgusting. Neither of them wants to yield.’

It was only proper to give what they had to give, but it seemed that they were holding onto it until the end before letting go. It was like if they could hit the other’s right cheek strongly in return for being slapped on their left cheek, they would smile and show their left cheek gladly. It wasn’t a good sight.

‘Certainly, I have a different disposition than the plague scum.’

Maybe it was Lee Jihye’s setting.

It was hard to explain the difference, but he did appear to be more daring and decisive.

If one side had a tendency to avoid fights and go round and round, the other side wouldn’t avoid the upcoming battles. I only rolled the dice when the probability was high, but he didn’t hesitate to do it on the ambiguous side.

It wasn’t confidence in probability but confidence in himself, and it was a behavior that looked down on low-level humans just like the plague trash.

I wasn’t certain, and it might be a little over-interpreted, but it was as if Jihye was telling me I could be a little simpler.

‘This woman really liked Doom Kiyoung.’

A bloody nerve battle between two villains unfolded as they muttered to themselves as if they were in front of each other.

—Time to sweep the insects away. It is the result of your arrogance, lowly bastard.

—Does this idiot know he’s surrounded?

—Time to clean you up altogether.

—Did you expect it? That’s fun.

He looked cool, but…

Whenever I looked at him talking to himself, he just looked like a social misfit.

I didn’t mean it in a bad way… but he looked like a psycho due to his eyes.

They both looked bloodthirsty.

—…

“What is it, Commander?”

—What? I… Hey. Are you listening Commander of the 13th Regiment? I don’t remember giving you orders to leave the area. Return right now.

-This is the Commander of the 13th Regiment, Colonel Smith. This regiment had received orders 19 minutes and 29 seconds ago, on the same communication channel, apparently to the Holshua Valley. Please check again if there is anything wrong.

“Oh, leave it alone. That’s because I have to use a few troops. So… we will head to Holshua Valley.”

—What?

“Weren’t you trying to start a war to occupy Holshua Valley? If you’re going to do it, shouldn’t you be certain that you will actually put it into motion?

—…

“… …”

—What?

“…”

—…

“What?”

—This… idiot! Sh*t!

“Why are you cursing? I’m helping you because I think you missed something.”

—You idiot! Damn! You ruined everything. Didn’t I tell you not to interfere!!

“Hey… what’s up with this bastard? You said you would occupy Holshua Valley! Can you do that with the existing troops?”

—I knew there wasn’t enough. That said, there was no reason to take it as ours until moving the troops on the 13th Front. If taking it is impossible…

“It is disappointing to end by consuming the surplus troops. Looking at Captain Smith’s view, I think he can do it. Open the Commander’s log and specs and take a look. Wouldn’t it be beneficial for you too to occupy here?”

—I guess we’re about to throw away the scarce troops. Sh*t… Sh*t! Lee Kiyoung, you useless moron. That’s enough. It hurts my mouth to even explain. After all, I had already expected a saboteur from you. It doesn’t matter if I lose the army. Just in case, I’ll say it again. Don’t interfere next time. Don’t ruin the board I made with meaningless bluffing.

‘You psycho bastard. Fuck, you said you would never do it. You said you had enough of it.’

He was still a villain. His personality was indeed a mess.

Seeing that he secretly dropped the communication channel from Cho Hyejin, it seemed that he really thought that my actions were ruining the board he had made.

But still, I trusted Colonel Smith. I believed in him. Here was the jackpot.

-This is the Commander of the 13th Front Regiment, Colonel Smith. We report the completion of the occupation of the Holshua Valley Front and will join the forces in support of the 14th Front, according to orders given in advance. The damage report would be sent to you while the troops are moving… please check if there is anything wrong with it.

—…

“…”

—There’s… no problem. Proceed as is.

“…”

—Not bad.

“What…”

—Lee Kiyoung…

“Yeah? What?”

—I… have to apologize.

“I can’t hear you well because you’re such an idiot. I beg your pardon?”

—I said I’m sorry.

“What?”

I could see him clenching his fists.
