Episode 109 Beginning of Counterattack

It was an unexpected guest.

First, the location was moved to the guild.

“What happened? Is Director Jack all right?”

“I came for that matter.”

Lucas said that and explained their current situation.

“At that time, after you guys left, the director secretly inspected the guard headquarters. Then you found out what you were trying to do above the guard.”

“Upper line?”

“Yeah, even the authority of the director can’t help it.”

Can there be a higher rank than the director?

“Could it be government intervention?”

But Lucas shook his head.

“no. Of course, the government may not be irrelevant, but there is a general manager above the director, and there are five directors above the general manager.”

“Have you moved?”

“Then, the guard is definitely an institution. there is everything And the connection with the government is because of the minister.”

The more I listened, the more amazed I was.

It was an organization that did not exist before the return.

Of course, there was the World Awakened Association that existed before the guard, but that doesn’t mean we couldn’t get this much detailed information.

“What the hell are they trying to do?”

To my question, Lucas looked around and answered in a low voice.

“Try to embrace all the Awoken. They are collecting them as if they are going to build their own country.”

Gathering the Awakened was not prohibited by law, and the Awoken could refuse, so it might sound like nothing.

“If so, wouldn’t all the Awoken be attached to the Guard Headquarters?”

“yes. That’s what causes problems.”

“No way, are you forcing me?”

If the guard did that, it was definitely a problem.

And otherwise, there would be no reason for Jack and Lucas to move this far.

“that’s right. Coercion, intimidation and exclusion. The damage is already great. It is not known to the media, but there are already over 30 hunters who are presumed to have been killed in the guard.”

“30 people each?!”

I jumped up in surprise.

Thirty Awoken was by no means a small number.

“And decisively, I found out that there were demons among those who made that decision.”

“I knew that through information. But, I didn’t know there was a story like this in the story.”

It wasn’t just a simple matter of fighting demons.

Should the Awakeners of America lose this fight, the next target would be the Awoken from other countries.

“Are guards in other countries the same situation?”

There was no movement of Pyo Chun-deuk yet.

If an order is given from the guard headquarters, Pyo Chun Deuk will move as well.

“I don’t even know about that. We came here because it is difficult just to solve the problems that have arisen for us.”

“Are you falling behind in a fight?”

“The conditions offered by the guard are better than I thought. Hunters who do not know their true purpose will have no choice but to side with them.”

that was the scariest thing

Even after becoming an Awakener, money was needed to survive in this world.

Even if they joined the guild, not everyone had a guaranteed life.

After all, it is competition.

In capitalism, competition was natural.

Which guild will be embracing an unhelpful hunter?

However, according to Lucas, Gad was doing the job.

It is said that if you do not recruit the numerous hunters you have gathered as guards, you will be killed.

“Didn’t you think about letting the press know? We can also use public opinion.”

At my question, Lucas shook his head.

“People aren’t ready to accept that they are demons yet. Even if the gate is open and it is known that there is another world, would you even believe in the existence of demons?”

Well, that also made sense.

So, in the end, we had to deal with it with our own hands.

If we let this go, it would eventually spark us as well.

“Then, let’s do this.”

And first of all, there were things to be resolved before the guards expanded their three.

I started explaining the strategy to Lucas.

At the end of my story, Lucas nodded.

“The win rate will definitely go up.”

“Is it good? I agree.”

Andrew, who was listening to the story next to him, also nodded in agreement.

“Then, let’s prepare from tomorrow morning and start a counterattack as soon as possible.”

“I will.”

First of all, after giving Lucas and Andrew a vacant room to stay in, he went to visit the princess.

“What are you doing tonight? How was your work today?”

“Yes, well done and back. Regarding that matter, I have something to ask the princess.”

“What is it?”

“I had to fight the demons on Earth. It’s too far and too dangerous to go together, so you should stay in the guild with Luman.”

Upon hearing my story, the princess became furious.

“Why am I taking it out? If you’re fighting demons, I’ll fight too.”

“Then, I may not be able to protect the princess.”

“I take care of my body.”

The princess was stubborn, but I couldn’t help it either.

“If it’s because of the promise with Obama… … .”

I said, interrupting the princess.

“It’s not just because of that. From a political point of view, this is correct. What country would take a diplomat to the battlefield?”

There was no need to fall out with the Empire over a major war.

It was a kind of insurance.

The way to keep the princess safe was not to take her to the battlefield at all.

The princess bit her lip and said.

“I don’t really like it, but I understand first.”

“Thank you, Princess.”

Since the princess had given permission, they were preparing for a full-fledged war from tomorrow.

*

All guild members were summoned to the morning meeting.

“This is Captain Lucas Taylor from the US Guard Headquarters. And this is Hunter Andrew.”

After introducing them to the guild members, I explained the story of yesterday and the strategy we would carry out in the future.

“As I said before, we are preparing for a war against the demons. This fight will be the prelude to that. Before that, the declaration of war starts with occupying the Korean branch.”

I don’t know if there will be demons in the Korean branch.

However, if left as it is, it was only a matter of time before the Korean branch moved on the orders of the Guard Headquarters.

Since there was still conflict between the branch and the guild, it was obvious that Pyo Cheon-deuk was right and would move.

So, our plan was to shut down the Korean branch and head straight to the Washington headquarters.

“To do that, we have to prepare a lot. First of all, Gillian goes around allied guilds and conveys his will.”

“I get it. Shouldn’t the blood religion be informed?”

“Yes, I will be in China now.”

Han So-yi was still struggling with her dream of entering China.

The Blood Bridge, Mage Tower, and Steel Guilds that signed MOUs kept in touch and shared information, so they knew about the demons.

“Then, Lee Hui-hyung, spread a rumor to the media.”

From noble mtl dot com

Next was public opinion.

There would be a big fight soon, but if we didn’t make public opinion on our side at that time, we could win and still be criticized.

In any case, we were living with ordinary people.

The existence of protecting them from the special situation of the gate is the position of the hunter.

Therefore, trust was an important issue.

“okay. don’t worry about that I’ll make it right to the PR team.”

“Yes, TFE will be with you as a supporter.”

“Leave it to me!”

Kim Hee-jin confidently raised her hand and said.

“great. Let others do what they have always done. Check the equipment and the operation will start tomorrow night.”

“yes!”

The guild members responded loudly.

After that, I asked the princess and Luman for the remaining guild members in case of an unexpected attack.

*

After the meeting, Gilliant came to visit me with a little time left.

“Seojun, when the raid starts tomorrow, it will be a really long fight. Are you okay?”

“If I hadn’t been prepared for that, I wouldn’t have started. It’s a way to interrupt the demons and reduce the power even a little for three months.”

At my answer, Gillian sneered and said.

“I admit that one confidence. Well, you’re not the kind of person to be lazy.”

“Is that all you have to say?”

Gilliant seemed to have something more to say.

“No, I brought the design draft as well.”

As expected, I brought the design for the suit we talked about a while ago.

“If you have the materials you brought from the dungeon this time, you should be able to make enough.”

Xian was perfect.

It was a full-body suit with a helmet, and it seemed possible to move freely.

The Awakening Stone is designed to open the door in the center of the chest and be installed inside.

It seemed to prevent it from being damaged by an unexpected attack.

“Did you pay close attention?”

“Besides that, I plan to engrave additional magic for warmth, preservation, and defense.”

“When will it be finished?”

“Wouldn’t it depend on the quantity? Aren’t you supposed to wear Fantasia’s troops as well?”

“no it’s okay. They said that Penzarik would prepare it on his own.”

When I showed the Demon’s Heart, Penzaric said that he was preparing for this problem as well.

“Then it will be fine. All we have to do is prepare.”

“Yeah, when you go to the cooperative guilds this time, find out about that as well.”

“i get it. We will check if they participate and prepare accordingly.”

After the story, Gillian left for China.

I headed towards the party who was checking the equipment and strategy.

“Hyuk.”

“Seojun hyung!”

I handed Hermes’ shoes to Hyuk who saw me and ran towards me.

“uh? Is this your brother’s?”

“It’s a graduation gift given in advance.”

Originally, I was going to give it as a surprise gift to coincide with the graduation ceremony.

But it seemed like the time had come, so I gave it first.

“If you give this to me, what about your brother?”

“I can use the element of wind.”

It was difficult in the past, but now the mana is sufficient.

The control has improved and I can handle it more carefully, so it was right to go to someone who can use it better than me.

“and! thank you!”

Hyuk immediately put on the shoes and tried them on.

“Yah-ho! With this, I can move regardless of the terrain!”

“Hyuk will be fine~”

I gave a skill card to Soo-yeon, who spoke with envy next to me.

This was a skill prepared for Suyeon.

“what? Are you giving me too?”

“I think you are envious.”

“What is this? omg! S-class?”

After receiving the skill card from me and examining it, Soo-yeon breathed in vain and shouted.

[S-rank] [Drake’s skin]

It is a skill that temporarily strengthens the body like Drake’s skin.

I was going to give it right away on the day I caught the drake, but it was a bit late as the situation changed rapidly.

“Because you often go into the middle of enemy lines. Until now, Minyoung and I have cast defensive spells on time, but there may be situations that we cannot support. Use it then.”

Soo-yeon’s fighting style is an infighter.

To get into the midst of enemies, confuse them, eliminate important targets, and then get out.

So it was a dangerous position where you could die if you did it wrong.

This skill will increase her survivability even a little.

“I am? Is there me too?”

“Minyoung, you take this.”

Minyoung, whose eyes were shining with anticipation, was given a new cane.

I also woke up, but it was because I thought I would need a suitable cane.

[Grade S] [Echoes of Glory]

It is a staff made specially for a certain priest with white silver, which is said to be a sacred metal.

As it was made for priests, it has the effect of amplifying divine power.

“When did you get this?”

When Minyoung asked me in surprise, I answered with a smile.

“I asked the black market. It’s a hot item delivered this morning.”

While sorting out the numerous loot from Fantasia, I sneakily asked L, and he just introduced me to a good item.

So I ordered right away.

The characteristics of white silver suited mana well, but it became even stronger in divine power.

He also gave presents to Lee Hwi-hyung.

“I have a brother too.”

“me too?”

I took out Theseus’ sword and handed it to him.

“You’re giving this to me?”

“Because I have a sword.”

Anyway, it was drawn through a black card draw that was contained in a strong will, so it could not be transferred.

I tried using both sacks in the last fight, but they just didn’t fit my style.

“A single sword is enough. With your older brother’s iron sword, the demons will soon break it, right?”

Lee Hwi-hyung was upgrading his equipment, but it would have been difficult to obtain something as good as the Theseus sword.

“thanks.”

“When everything is ready, get yourself in good shape. The operation starts tomorrow night.”

After presenting it to my party, I returned to my room.

*

The Korean branch of Guard was brightly lit even at night.

The threat of the gate was non-stop, so the Korean branch hunters worked in three shifts.

“There is no problem today.”

“Ha-am. Certainly, as the number of guilds increased, the work was divided. what? Who are you at this hour?”

The two people who were working in the lobby stood up when they saw a series of people coming through the door.

“How did you get here? uh? You are elemental… … town!”

Personnel who recognized their identity and tried to shout were quickly overpowered and passed out.

So did the person next to him.

Oh Soo-yeon and Kang Hyuk, who knocked the two out with a cloth soaked in medicine, nodded their heads at Seo-jun.

After a while, the Avengers guild members gathered in the lobby scattered to various places following Seo-jun’s signal.
