The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 389



Only Noblemtl

Episode 389 Return (1)

When I heard that the president of the association was a traitor.

To be honest, I had a lot of worries.

‘The structure of the association is too unstable.’

A federation structure that seems to depend on one strong person, the association president.

The moment the president of the association completely disappeared, it would not have been strange for them to have split into several groups.

They say that the president of that association is a traitor.

I couldn’t reveal it anywhere.

A difficult situation in many ways.

In that situation, I managed to somehow subdue the president of the association.

then…….

‘You just killed that guy.’

Isn’t that a bit of a waste?

at last.

In order to keep this organization called the Association going, something had to be done… … .

That’s the way.

[Drops of the Legion, Vimanar]

[Body: Kangsan]

After subduing the association president.

Using [Waterdrop] in a similar way to me.

That’s what created the clone.

‘The main body… …was so inconspicuous that it was hard to recognize it as a human being.’

Somehow, he regenerated the remaining human body parts and created water droplets.

It was said that water droplets recreate the entire body through the genetic information remaining in the body.

Because there are so many lost parts.

It was not regenerated in its entirety, but rather, grayish flesh with water droplets remained here and there.

At least it seemed much more like a river than it is now.

‘With this, the association will run smoothly.’

As I was thinking about that.

-… …Can I ask you something?

“hmm?”

The one who was a river and mountains in the shadows…

-Why don’t you submit to that association?

“hmm.”

Now the name has been lost.

The dark knight who spreads cold air said.

-If you use my name… …it might be possible, even if it’s a bit forced.

“Well, that’s true, isn’t it?”

Even though I have just started the withdrawal process.

Until just recently, Kangsan was the guild master of that association in the system.

If he uses his authority.

It would have been quite possible to force that association into submission to the Legion.

but…….

“That’s for later.”

-… … ?

“Someday humanity will have to become one. But… … .”

I decided not to do that.

The reason was simple.

“The process should not be coercive.”

The association was clearly a unified body.

Because unification was forced through the power of the association president.

When the association president disappeared, they showed signs of not being united.

‘Rather, I think we should see that proper integration is only now beginning to take place.’

and.

That would be similar if we compare it to the history of mankind.

then.

The teacher is right in front of you.

“Take your time, take your time.”

An association that was forcibly unified in an instant.

We’re going to go in exactly the opposite direction.

furthermore…….

“Not only has it not been unified, but it also plans to heavily interfere in internal affairs.”

-… … .

What is that?

The way the world works is that if you’re too nice, things won’t work out.

The authority of that drop of water that inherited the name of the river and mountain is considerable.

Moreover, ‘Bimanar’ basically has quite high intelligence.

If something goes wrong within the association, or if things start to go in a bad direction for the legion.

Or, ‘Bimanar’ can intervene and find out in advance and resolve it.

Or they will report to us first.

They won’t notice though.

They will interfere in our internal affairs through people they trust.

‘… … Well, it’s okay if you don’t notice it!’

If we all notice, it could make us all unhappy.

If you hide it well, everyone will have a happy ending.

For that reason, he intentionally injected water droplets while Han Yi-seo was away.

‘Now the association must strengthen itself.’

The potential of the association was considerable.

If we just look at the potential, it is much better than Gangwon-do.

We can’t just let that potential go to waste.

It would be difficult to put it under the command of the legion right away.

With the assistance of the Legion, they will gradually develop their potential.

‘And then, someday.’

When they themselves begin to have empathy for humanity.

When all resistance to our legions has disappeared.

The legions and associations… … .

Will become one.

***

And after that.

Time passed slowly.

After the legion crossed the barrier.

He led that huge fortress and fought battles all over Gyeonggi-do.

“The day will come when we can live outside the walls… … .”

“It’s really amazing.”

The main focus was on conquering cities that would become bases for human survival.

The barriers will still be the main defensive facility for the survivors in Gyeonggi-do.

Now that winter is over, and the power of the Awakened has increased dramatically during that winter.

Their living space is no longer confined within the walls.

The Association is gaining power with the help of the Legion.

It expanded its influence within Gyeonggi Province.

“Mom… … Dad… … !”

“You, you… … ! Really, really… … !”

“Really, Hong Su-ni… … ?”

And then.

The relationship between the Legion and the Association began to progress little by little.

“Yes, I met the young man who was your senior. He told me that I should think that you were alive, that I should have hope… … but I still couldn’t believe it. But really… … .”

“Mom… … sob.”

A couple and a soldier came face to face.

Suddenly start crying.

“Yeah… … . So you became a soldier of the Legion. I had a fantasy about inviting you to join our group if you were alive.”

“That might be a bit difficult. I have comrades.”

“Comrades… … Is that place called the Legion a place to live? Isn’t there anyone who harasses you?”

“What about bullying? It’s actually better than my military days. You know what? I was just a private in the military, but now most of them are my juniors.”

In that regard.

The husband mutters as if he has noticed something.

“Come to think of it. The magical power I feel from your body… is something I only feel from the higher-ups…?”

“Haha, what is that? It’s like a tempo and guild.”

He is the leader of the 3rd platoon of the legion.

Among the magicians of the Legion, he is recognized as the second most skilled after Sergeant Lee Min-jae.

“… … Son. No way.”

“Did you become successful without us knowing?”

A magician who can control flames more powerful than Jang Hwa-yeon, who was an executive of the association.

Let Private Jang Hong-su and his parents have a friendly conversation.

“Mr. Jung-seok and Mrs. Mi-gyeong… What’s going on?”

Other people who saw this look puzzled and talk to each other.

“That young man is said to be the son of two people.”

“Your son… Didn’t you say he was in the military?”

“That army was that army.”

“Huh, huh? Really?”

“It’s not just that young man. There’s that young guy in the central branch named Yongtae, right? His testicle friend was in the legion. And there are others… … .”

Among the soldiers in the legion, there were some who were acquainted with the survivors of the Association.

The Legion actively deployed such people to have conversations with the members of the Association.

“… … The story about Mrs. Mi-kyung’s son is like that. The story about the guy named Yong-tae’s friend is like that too.”

“First of all, it doesn’t seem like a bad group. Well, that’s to be expected since they’re the ones who saved us… … .”

“I only saw a lot of deserters… … How can they maintain discipline in this world?”

“But, you shouldn’t let your guard down. If you let your guard down against a force with that much power and get betrayed, it’ll be a big deal.”

Slowly but surely.

Wariness toward the Legion begins to ease.

And then, one day.

“Chairman! How was your trip? Is there any problem…?”

“Hehehe. How could there be a problem with me escorting you?”

The association’s new president, Beomseok Cho.

He once received an invitation from the legion and went to meet the commander of the legion with his escorts.

“What was it like inside that fortress?”

“The officers of the legion… … .”

“Someone said they saw a legionnaire and a monster walking around together, what was it like… … .”

News of their return brought a large crowd.

Many people are asking questions about the Legion, about which little is known yet.

“… … Hey, Jung-gu. That’s an exaggeration.”

“No, I’m telling you, it’s true!”

“The inside looked wider than the outside… … . What is that, Mr. Jung-gu, don’t you know the laws of physics?”

Information about the Legion is starting to come out a bit.

“If I had done something wrong, this gentleman would have been chosen as the northern representative in place of Lee Seo-yang… … Mr. Jung-gu is indeed fit for the role of captain of the guard.”

“I’m so suffocated… … !”

Park Joong-goo beats his chest in frustration when people don’t believe his words.

Heo Yun-chang, who had been teasing him like that, soon turned his head away.

“Association President.”

“… … Ah, but why.”

“How did you feel about meeting the captain over there?”

Turn your head immediately.

He looked at Jo Beom-seok and asked.

“Could it be that he was a seasoned general like the president of the association? Or maybe a former general?”

To that question.

Jo Beom-seok opened his mouth with a somewhat nervous expression.

“He wasn’t even a colonel, let alone a general. He was a young officer… … His rank was a second lieutenant.”

“Lieutenant. That’s amazing.”

“… … Yes. He was truly an amazing person.”

“… … President?”

Association President Jo Beom-seok.

He was sweating strangely.

“When I first heard the description of the lieutenant, I honestly underestimated him a bit. I had expected… … there was no such name among the capable officers who could overcome this turmoil. And a lieutenant is a lower rank than my own grandson. I thought he was a foolish friend like the other young people.”

“But why?”

“It was a ridiculous misconception.”

He said, wiping the cold sweat with a handkerchief.

“We didn’t have a long conversation, but even in that short conversation, I felt an incredible amount of charisma and leadership. I never imagined that there would be someone like him among the young soldiers these days.”

“Is it really like that… … ?”

“No. Even though we only had a brief conversation, this is how much I feel. If you can feel that much charisma just from a first impression… … If you get to know him better, he’s probably an even greater person.”

The escorts who welcomed the commander of the corps along with the president of the association also.

Again, he nods silently.

‘… … I can’t believe Jo Beom-seok said something like that.’

‘That Lieutenant Kim, what kind of great commander is he?’

“Well, I guess it was because there was such a person leading that they were able to build up that kind of power.”

When people wonder inside.

Jo Beom-seok lets out a heavy sigh.

“I thought that if I succeeded in driving out those ghosts, it would all be over. But instead, it feels like this is just the beginning. I wonder if I can negotiate well with someone like that… … .”

“I’m sure you can do it, President. We’ll help you too.”

“Whew… …! Right. Even if it’s impossible, I have to make it happen somehow. Thank you.”

like that.

Although there is still a long way to go.

“The Legion has requested that several people transfer to the guild in exchange for equipment and supplies. If desired, we can also exchange information to improve the capabilities of our production workers.”

“Huh! That’s not it! Are you planning on buying our association members with that kind of equipment?”

“That is, there is a condition that it is only possible with the consent of the individuals concerned. Most of them seem to be family members or acquaintances of the soldiers of the Legion.”

Slowly and gradually.

“Still, this is an insult to us… …!”

“This is the list of equipment and supplies you provided.”

“… … To say that, there are just too many. Do the effects of these equipment make sense?”

The potential that the association held.

It was blooming more and more.

***

“Whew! You’re so busy.”

After the legion arrived.

Everyone in the association has become extremely busy.

Before that barrier opened, they had to reorganize their forces as much as possible.

“Haha, but you’re not as busy making food as before, right?”

“Well, that’s true.”

“Hehehe. It’s a big deal that that cook can now make food. And with the support of the legion… … we won’t have to worry about starving to death for a while.”

And the same goes for the three leaders of the Northern Branch.

Among them.

The one who became the representative of the North was Han Yi-seo.

The other two.

Kang Jae-ho and Park Jung-gu were busy helping her.

And, like any other day.

After finishing a busy work day.

The three were returning to the northern branch.

however.

“… … Huh? Please wait a moment, Jung-gu hyung.”

“What is it, Jaeho?”

On my way back like that.

Kang Jae-ho suddenly stops and listens somewhere.

“What’s going on?”

“Uh… … the trees are telling me something.”

The trees near the northern branch were friendly to Kang Jae-ho and humans.

It was humans who brought spring to the trees and ended the harsh winter.

“Really? Why is someone who is still receiving treatment suddenly… … .”

“… … ?”

And, the result.

The trees turned to Kang Jae-ho, who could understand their words.

They started to chatter excitedly about what they had seen.

The trees were just thinking about chatting.

“Um… … Brother, Sister. Come this way for a moment.”

“What’s going on… … .”

“The trees saw people going inside there.”

“Well, this area isn’t our property, we can just wander around… … .”

“The problem is… … .”

Kang Jae-ho says with a sigh.

“Youngjun is among them.”

“uh?”

After that battle was over.

A person who was transferred to the Northern Branch to continue treatment due to serious injuries.

The point is that Shin Young-jun was involved.

“Why should someone be lying in bed?”

“Well, just in case, I think it might be a good idea to go and see.”

He refused to become involved with the association.

Because of that injury, he was not able to attend to his busy work.

Nevertheless, he is a benefactor who has shown them great favor.

The three of them headed into the forest with worried expressions on their faces.

And, in it.

“Oh, there’s someone coming again.”

“What? I guess it wasn’t just the two of us who were called?”

The three leaders of the Northern Branch.

I was able to face two men.

“… … To the chef.”

“Even Jongdu-ssi… … . Why here?”

The chef and the architect.

The association’s representative production workers were Howard and Kim Jong-du.

Two production workers and three people from the northern branch.

When we look at each other’s faces and wonder.

“uh?”

and.

Behind them.

“What are you three doing here?”

A young man in a hospital gown.

Shin Young-jun appeared in the forest.
