purpose

“… Does this make sense?”

Starting with the president, officials from government ministries and U.S. generals were together.

Paul, commander of the ROK-US Combined Forces, murmured softly.

The first day after Ha Yeon-woo made the event on the day of departure an issue in various ways and entered North Korean territory.

Hwanghae-do, Pyongyang, South Pyongan-do, and North Pyongan-do in just half a day.

Several coastal areas bordering the Yellow Sea and former administrative districts inland. It literally turned into a wormwood field.

It showed the aftermath to the extent that aerial photography to grasp the scene was impossible, and the left side of North Korea was organized in just one day.

The remaining monsters were undoubtedly small pikes or those whose breath was less interrupted.

It was a huge difference from the fact that the Awakened Alliance, which decided to go north from the right after seeing Ha Yeon-woo’s movement, was still unable to organize even the north of Gangwon-do.

What they are looking at is snapshots of the site taken from a very high altitude for safety reasons and satellite images to observe changes in terrain.

“… It’s something we didn’t expect either.”

Of course, that doesn’t mean other Awakeners can’t do that.

If dozens of high-level Awakeners of about 6th rank gather and destroy everything at random, it can be done in a few weeks or even months.

The problem was that only one person accomplished it in half a day, like taking a walk in the neighborhood, and none of them could properly gauge Ha Yeon-woo’s capabilities.

“If the author is such a monster. We wouldn’t do it that way when we share information. Wasn’t that the same reaction in the US at the time of the hierarchy measurement?”

It was a provisional evaluation that was placed a little higher than China’s 7th-ranked Xiaolin.

At the Prime Minister’s words, Paul nodded and his eyes lit up.

“In any case, promises must be fulfilled. The Senate and the President sent me here to confirm it.”

At his words, the faces of the people in the meeting room suddenly darkened.

Heads of government who have already boasted about the achievements of the government to the media, took a step forward in future city planning, and were worried about how to take care of the crops obtained there.

Even internally, the Blue House and the heads of the ruling and opposition parties had already worked together to roughly draw a picture.

Now, China and Russia are quiet, perhaps thanks to the majesty of Ha Yeon-woo.

They obviously wanted their share. Besides, the relationship between country and country was not simply a borderline fight.

Resources, trade, diplomacy and more. The beginning of the plan was to hand over North Hamgyong Province and Yanggang Province, which protruded sharply, to them, taking into account various factors.

And if this recovery operation is successful. I expected that most of the balls would be with Ha Yeon-woo, so I tried to bestow the entire territory of North Pyeongan-do and Jagang-do, the northernmost provinces, as he wished.

In that case, the left side of the North Korean border was officially gifted to Ha Yeon-woo by the state. Yanggang Province would become Chinese territory, and North Hamgyong Province would become Russian territory.

The Korean government takes advantage of the national relationship and uses it as a shield while showing condescension to Ha Yeon-woo.

It was the conclusion that they would occupy five provinces, including Pyongyang, without lifting a hand.

A plan that thought everything was perfect.

The only thing that wasn’t assumed in it was the level of Ha Yeon-woo’s powerlessness.

The reason why the Republic of Korea and the United States are the greatest friends was in the military and security aspects rather than the economy or trade.

The ‘transaction’ that Paul, the commander of the ROK-US Combined Forces, meant. In the process, the US actively intervened and the Korean government planned to build a US military base in South Hamgyong Province, a new border.

It was obviously a good deal for each other.

South Korea was able to obtain an armed arrangement of Ha Yeon-woo on the left side of the border and a US military base on the right, and the US was able to obtain legal outposts and defense contributions to check China and Russia.

The problem is still Ha Yeon-woo.

Of course, it’s not like there’s a setback in the plan right now or that he’s acting strangely.

Even now, on the afternoon of the second day, they were steadily killing North Korean monsters.

Rather, the agency predicts that the speed will increase and arrive at Hamgyongnam-do, where Cube is located, by this evening.

Therefore, there was a high possibility that tomorrow, starting from South Hwanghae Province and going around North Korea, we would meet with the Awakened Alliance team recovering Gangwon Province.

Nevertheless, the reason why no one here can give a definite answer to Paul, the contact and face of America, is that the phenomena seen are too unrealistic.

‘Will Ha Yeon-woo really follow the government’s words?’

‘There is no device to control him.’

‘What should I do if I don’t respond.’

most basic. From the principled concerns that can be made in the current situation.

‘What is the intention of him taking possession of the cougar organization and the underworld as a force?’

‘Why did he accept the government’s proposal with such force?’

‘Is there any possibility of becoming another enemy in the future?’

His brusque, unpredictable force served as an opportunity to realize, albeit belatedly, obvious facts.

“Why don’t you answer? If you can come and adjust the related issues… .”

“Keuheum, ah, you still don’t know what the strategy will be like, right?”

“So there is a contract. I don’t think you’re going to mention the effect of verbal contracts in dealings with the government… .”

He was a friendly person, but now he is a spokesman for his motherland, the United States.

Paul’s eyes widened.

“ha ha ha. It can’t be. We also have no reason to break a good contract so arbitrarily.”

All the government officials could say was to laugh and reply broadly.

The day I came to North Korea.

I took out the satellite terminal that Jang Won-woo had airlifted from somewhere and held it out of my pocket.

A map with details of North Korea around 2015 is the only content inside the terminal.

Although it was from 10 years ago, there was no great inconvenience in seeing North Korea as most of the landmarks were still at that time.

“From here, South Hamgyong Province.”

Start with Hwanghaenam-do. It was the last provincial administrative district to reach North Korea by going around North Hwanghae, Pyongyang, Pyongan, Jagang, Ryanggang, and Hamgyeongbuk-do.

When I spread my feelings, it seemed that other Awakeners had never left Gangwon-do.

And this was the area where there was a cube, which was everything Ha Yeon-woo wanted along with the land.

In fact, no matter how the situation was viewed from the outside, Ha Yeon-woo was not in a hurry.

Spread the spirit, find nearby 4th tier or higher monsters, and go and kill them.

If they were hidden deep enough to be difficult to find, or if there were a lot of them, I just applied a little more power and repeated blowing them away along with the terrain.

In the first place, the strongest entity encountered here was a group of dozens of tier 5 monsters.

With that amount, no matter how good the number of cases was, it was only on par with one 6th tier monster.

It is said that he could easily handle even the Duke of Bahala Empire, whom he killed by snapping his neck in one blow before coming here.

He was not at the level of using force or anything else.

thump- thump-

Even in the midst of this, three or four augers approached Ha Yeon-woo, who walked into South Hamgyong Province while taking a break.

It looks pretty similar to that in common fantasy novels.

The difference was that the skin was dark brown, as if it had been burnt, and the arms were very long.

Guo uh uh-

Ogres over 4 meters tall approaching with a low, loud squeal.

thump- thump- thump-

After discovering him, his steps began to speed up little by little, and soon the ground trembled and rushed.

Ha Yeon-woo’s pupils glow in dark red at almost the same timing.

Soon, an aura similar to the changed eye color, completely different from Mana, rose from her body like a haze.

Unlike mana, a tangible spirit that can see any being with cognitive abilities.

very small of dogs. A single string of energy split into three branches and each flew towards the ogres.

gurgling- gurgling-

In an instant, blisters formed all over the body of the running ogre and began to swell.

nine… Guess-!

thud-

Their knees knelt with the sound of the ground shaking, and soon the whole body created the illusion of bubbling.

wooong-

Almost simultaneously, the bodies of the three ogres exploded.

“Hmm.”

It was for the sake of experimentation that I dared to use the marriage machine.

A perfect environment that has been neglected for a long time and has no one but you.

I was awakening to the true face of marriage one by one.

Why didn’t you find out until now, hundreds of years after awakening to marriage?

I didn’t feel the need for it and I didn’t want to.

As if his marriage period represents his mental state, he has a very unstable and destructive tendency that is difficult to control.

It wasn’t the power he got because he wanted it, and since he subdued the holder of the Cheonmabong, he rarely used it except when he impulsively killed himself.

In fact, it is said that there was not enough time to find out other effects other than the realm of destruction.

However, in order to get even a little closer to the goal, it was necessary to know from now on.

‘As expected, it’s strange.’

Clearly, the soul energy is the same as the power coming out of the cube.

This is a fact that Ha Yeon-woo found out while going undercover at the gate several times.

Just as you can recognize them as human beings even if they have a wide variety of appearances, he could clearly tell because he directly deals with marriage.

And the cube creates a gate, and monsters pour out right there.

That was proof of the possibility that Ha Yeon-woo could do something similar.

“But you’re protesting.”

It was like the poles of a magnet. When poles with the same strong magnetism face each other, they repel each other. Even if they are forcibly combined with force, after the critical point, they are repelled by repulsive force.

It didn’t contain any intentions, it was just that he let go of his own marriage energy, but it exploded like that as if they couldn’t be compatible at all.

‘Gate definitely held up a little more force. If it’s a cube… .’

* * *

Gangwon-do in North Korea.

Among them, in Gosan-gun, which was located in the center, a very different atmosphere was unfolding from Hamgyeongnam-do, where Ha Yeon-woo was located.

“The side is pierced!”

“Magic support!”

Buildings with colors of the past that have been neglected for over 10 years and have turned into abandoned houses. High-growing trees and weeds up to the calf.

Awakeners and monsters fighting in between. Up to high performance and spectacular magic attacks.

Scenes reminiscent of wars in the fantasy world took place everywhere.

Kwagwagwagak-

Kiehek-

key-

The magic of Jung Hee-jin, the magician who occupies the bottom stone of the 6th tier, pierced dozens of 4th tier monsters like skewers.

Thanks to this, the Awoken in the front, who were able to afford it, sprayed their swords at them.

squeak-

Kiek-

“Move!”

While the middle class awakeners are buying time.

Jang Baek-gi, who was preparing to attack from behind, shouted, and a long sword, the exclusive property of 6th-tier Awakeners, was pulled out from his greatsword.

As the other team members hurriedly fall behind him, the greatsword swung wildly from left to right.

The black steel, which had only a slight color, flew silently and collided with the monsters, cutting them apart and crashing into the ground.

aaang-!

“Huh… Heo-eok… .”

It was a forced march, resting for only six hours a day in shifts.

The body of the Awakener gave almost infinite physical strength, but the depletion of mana was unavoidable even for them.

After seeing the annihilation of the group of monsters, he exhaled his breath and shouted after catching his breath.

“Whoa… . Take the coordinates, hand them over to the military, and we will fix them!”

“yes!”

A guild member in charge of communication with the country lightly lifted and operated dozens of kilograms of communication equipment the size of a backpack with one hand. I communicated with the military waiting a long way back to collect the monster corpse and clean up the site.

“By the way, are you quiet today?”

Right up until this morning, the sound of falling bombs rang through the ears of the awakened people all day long.

It was strange that it became quiet on the second day.

“Where did you say it was?”

Jang Hee-jin, who runs the guild together, took out a map and answered Jang Baek-gi’s question.

“At communication this morning… . here! They said it was in Dancheon, South Hamgyong Province.”

Jang Baek-gi, agonizing while brushing his chin.

Danchun, South Hamgyong Province, is quite far from here, but on the map it was almost right above.

“Well, maybe we’ve already sorted out everything except for Gangwon-do, where we are.”

“Is that a person?”

“You saw it too. When you catch a wendigo.”

The albino eyes, which regard strength as their greatest charm, have become hazy, not matching those of middle-aged people.

“That wasn’t mana management used by normal Awoken people.”

It wasn’t even the common sword or strong. It was simply a matter of shooting and sending mana gathered at a tremendous density.

It is obviously ignorant and inefficient.

If the same amount of mana was converted into strong energy and used, it would be hundreds or thousands of times more efficient.

However, any Awakened person could know it.

A 6th tier monster that was considered a catastrophe or a national calamity was at such a level that the man did not even need basic skills.

“Well, I did find out then. I think the biggest mystery is that he accepted this offer?”

Jangbaekgi also agreed.

With an overly cynical personality, he seems to have detached himself from the world. In addition, secretly, his activities were spreading one by one by word of mouth.

It seemed like they were cooperating because they were a company and the stakes were huge, but I didn’t think he would accept the government’s proposal.

“Well, you’re doing too well… . huh?”

The time when I was about to finish my words as I saw the guild member in charge of communication approaching.

I began to feel a tremendous energy wave through my senses from afar.
