The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 393

Episode 393 Reward (1)

Now that we’re back on the Vimana.

There was something else that had to be said first.

“you…….”

After returning, I had some conversation with other soldiers.

I was in the command and control room at the center of the Vimana.

and.

I looked at the faces of the sergeants sitting in the control room with me.

Minjae hyung, Suhyeok, Gwangil… … .

Ivory, Grandfather Park, Private Lee Gong-woo, etc.

To report to the corps commander who has returned after a long time.

It seemed like all the seniors from each department had come to visit.

‘It’s nice to see you after such a long time.’

and.

What would there be to talk about when you haven’t seen each other in so long?

“How have you been?”

Asking how you’re doing.

“Haha, we had a good time.”

“Haha. We actually heard that the commander had a hard time.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Seriously. I thought I was going to die.”

still.

Because I knew if I just held out a little longer, these guys would come.

Somehow I gritted my teeth and managed to endure it.

“Hmm.”

“huh?”

however.

Could this be the aftereffect of using powerful magic last time?

A person whose face is still a little pale.

“Actually, I’ve been seeing your face all this time… … so I thought you wouldn’t feel anything special.”

Sergeant Lee Min-jae stared at my face.

Suddenly he said with a snicker.

“It’s nice to see you like this.”

“ah.”

I have seen your face often.

It wasn’t difficult to understand what it meant.

“I’m talking about [water drops].”

“okay.”

“By the way… …what happened to me?”

I left for Gyeonggi-do, leaving only the Bimanars here.

I thought the guys would pretend to be me.

But now.

The soldiers who crossed the barrier and came to Gyeonggi-do.

You will probably have some idea of ​​what I have been doing here.

in other words.

“So the same person was in multiple places?”

And yet.

There were no soldiers pointing out that part.

I was wondering how this got passed.

“First of all, I hid the water droplets for two weeks.”

“hmm?”

“We handled it by saying that the commander had gone over the barrier first on a mission.”

indeed

So, I guess that’s why I said welcome back after such a long time.

“I’m sure my story has spread widely throughout the association. Do you think that’ll matter?”

“You’re not a cook, you’re an assassin, right? There’s no face montage floating around, so even if you were to listen to the story, people would probably think you’re the same person.”

“… Is this problem that easy to solve?”

“I don’t think so… … Well, it wouldn’t matter if it were a problem.”

“huh?”

I tilted my head.

Minjae hyung has a slightly complicated expression.

“Actually… … there was a similar problem in Gangwon-do.”

“What does that mean?”

“There was a bit of confusion… … but it ended well in the end. That artificial spirit… … is quite smart.”

“It ended well… … .”

“I guess it’s common knowledge that it’s not strange for Private Shin Young-jun to be in multiple places at the same time… … That’s what it feels like. It’s hard to understand in a complicated way, so let’s just move on.”

What the hell are you talking about?

I don’t know what the hell happened though.

First of all, I don’t think it will be a big problem.

“Well, since the commander has returned, I will briefly report on what has happened.”

Anyway, like that.

The report began under the leadership of Sergeant Lee Min-jae.

“Even if you call it a report, there isn’t much content. We just kept on expanding our territory.”

“It wasn’t anything special.”

The battle between those giants and the Legion.

I just watched from afar.

“It seems like you’ve gotten incredibly stronger.”

To feel the growth of the unit members.

That was enough.

‘Even if I had applied all sorts of buffs… … I didn’t think I could push those giants that far.’

In particular, the growth of the squad leader-level fighters was noticeable.

Not to mention Minjae’s lightning that started after he destroyed a giant.

Gwangil and Suhyeok are the same guys.

Even though it was a joint attack with other units, we each took down one of those giants.

“Well, there were a lot of things.”

“Honestly, I thought it would end a bit faster… … but there were some places that were more difficult than I thought.”

I couldn’t help but be a little surprised by those words.

“Even though Taejun was there, there were difficult battles?”

The reason I was able to leave for Gyeonggi-do with peace of mind is.

It was because my classmate’s prophecy had a huge effect.

It was a force that would weaken if that barrier were opened.

It was absolutely effective in Gangwon-do.

“Most of them were fine, but… … the monsters at the Legion Headquarters and those guys in Gangneung were bad.”

“Gangneung?”

“Do you remember? When we first came down the mountain?”

Our unit was located on the mountain range dividing the Yeongseo and Yeongdong regions.

We were wondering which of those two regions we should head towards.

“It wasn’t for nothing that Private Park Tae-jun told us to head to the Yeongseo region first.”

Taejun headed west at that guy’s recommendation.

At the time, I just thought it was like that.

Thinking back now, I see that it was a recommendation with a reason.

“If it weren’t for Sergeant Lee Min-jae’s wit at that time… … .”

“I told you, I was just lucky back then.”

“No one would think that’s luck?”

Reporting on the battle that took place in Gangneung.

Those who reminisce among themselves about those times.

‘……what.’

What should I say?

I can tell that there was a great battle just by hearing it.

‘I feel like I’m being bullied.’

To be honest, I didn’t feel it at all just by hearing it.

It makes me feel a bit disappointed to see them talking about things that only I don’t know about.

“Other than that, I made some of the humans I met during the battle join the guild and formed alliances with some of them.”

“Ah. Now that I think about it, I saw monks on that battlefield too… … .”

“It’s one of our most representative alliances. The guild called [Myoyangsa] still exists, but it has been given control of the territory. There are several other alliance guilds like that.”

They say it’s an alliance.

It felt like it was similar to coming into a mountain.

“Was there no backlash?”

“Fortunately, they took the initiative.”

At first, there were people who did not want to join the legion.

Having been friendly forces for a long time, that image must have improved a lot.

And finally… … .

“It seems like the fortress has changed a lot.”

Vimana would have leveled up the facilities on its own.

It’s natural that things have changed.

The biggest change is, of course.

“Wasn’t it originally like this?”

If it was originally closer to a circular fortress.

Now, what should I say, a little bit longer.

It took the form of a giant battleship.

“That only happens when you’re flying in the sky.”

“huh?”

The one who answered those words was Private Lee Gong-woo.

“It seems that its role as a fortress on the ground is different from its role when flying in the sky. It changes its form as it flies up into the sky. It will probably go back to its original form when it comes back down.”

Oh, right.

[For maneuvering], a thinner shape will have less wind resistance than a round one.

……by the way.

“Going down?”

The performance of the flying fortress is incredible

It was great even as a ground fortress

With that defensive power, it becomes a mobile artillery unit.

In fact, if it weren’t for the firepower of this fortress, it would be questionable whether we could have defeated those giants.

“Ah. This fortress. It’ll be hard to stay afloat.”

“What is it, something like that?”

I’m saying that it’s a little difficult to continue showing this kind of appearance.

“Well, would you like to follow me?”

I followed those words and moved.

The place we soon arrived at was the second basement level of this castle.

[Magic Storage]

It was the place where the magic storage facility was built.

And, as for that magic power storage.

“… … Is that, is that okay?”

“Yes, for now.”

Woof woof woof woof woof woof!!!

It was making such a loud noise that I thought something was wrong.

The entire structure was dyed red, perhaps because the heat had built up considerably.

“First of all… … It takes a lot of horsepower to float this fortress into the air. You can think of it as being similar to a missile or a rocket. In those cases, most of the fuel is spent on getting it off the ground.”

but.

It’s a fortress of this size.

Even if the creators of this fortress had ridiculous technological prowess, it would have consumed energy.

“Wouldn’t magical power flow infinitely from [the underground mine]?”

“That’s true, but in the end, the storage tank needs to absorb it in order to convert it into power for the Vimana.”

Last time, when we first liberated the underground mine.

The storage tank almost burst as it absorbed the magic power.

The source of magical power itself is infinite, but there is a limit to how much of that magical power can be converted into usable power.

“We are currently operating it by increasing its capacity to just before its limit.”

“Is that what it looks like… … It looks like it’s going to explode at any moment?”

“Even if you look at it like that, it’s still fine. If we increase the capacity here, it’ll be a problem, but it’s fine for now. The problem is that even if you increase the capacity to this extent, the stored horsepower actually decreases while flying.”

“Then how long can you last?”

“If I really do nothing, I can last two months. This time, I’m fighting and everything, so I think I’ll barely make it past a month.”

therefore.

Once that barrier is gone and we return to Chuncheon, that will be the end of it.

“In that state, we will need to focus on charging and stabilizing for one or two months.”

“Ugh.”

It was a shame that we couldn’t continue to utilize the power of this aerial fortress.

However, on the other hand, this means that it can be launched again after stabilization for about two months.

I guess I’ll have to be satisfied with that.

“Next, I will report on what happened in the production line.”

Anyway, like that.

I was briefed on what happened in each department.

‘These guys have had a hard time too… … .’

There were more reports exchanged than expected.

Here again, I will only give a rough summary.

I guess I’ll have to come back later and get more details.

“This is all we can report.”

After such a long time had passed.

The report has been completed.

And then, Minjae hyung looked at my face and said.

“Next, is it your turn?”

“huh?”

It’s my turn.

“Haven’t you heard most of what I said?”

I also gave a brief account to the soldiers who approached me while I was lying down.

My actions are well known throughout the Association, so you must have heard about it through them as well.

But I was a little curious why he insisted on telling me his story.

“But don’t you want to hear it from your own mouth?”

“……ah.”

Only after seeing the expressions on the soldiers’ faces as they looked at me.

I could see why.

Sigh.

‘There was no need to feel sad.’

Even though we’ve been apart for a while.

My affiliation is, after all, to this corps.

and.

It was my first reunion with other legion members in a long time.

then.

There is something to do.

“Where should I start?”

While talking about each other’s recent events.

Let’s have a little chat, okay?

“When I first crossed the barrier, my clothes were all on fire and I was panicking… … .”

There was a lot to explain.

It’s clear that things will get busy in the future.

‘A few days before that barrier opens.’

I also spend time chatting with friends I haven’t seen in a while.

It wouldn’t be bad.

***

“Oh, Sergeant Shin. What brings you here?”

“Let’s talk for a while.”

“Long time no see. Didn’t you see me a week ago?”

“Is that so? Well, don’t worry about that. How are you doing these days?”

“I am…….”

And after that.

I wandered around inside the Vimana.

I invested time in talking to other unit members.

“My benefactor… … !”

“Oh, it’s been a while. How have you been?”

“Yes. The benefactor performed another miracle… …!”

“It’s overdone.”

Thanks to ‘Bimanar’ taking over my role.

The legionnaires acted as if we had been friends until recently.

‘There are a lot of guys who enlisted while I was away.’

Among them, there were many who knew ‘Bimanar’ but I was seeing it for the first time.

I still want to be as friendly as possible with the legion members.

Before that barrier opened, I was planning to at least get to know the legionnaires who had crossed over to Gyeonggi Province.

As it turned out, this task took longer than expected.

By the time it was finished… … .

[Time left until beginner protection system ends: 0 days 12 hours 32 minutes… … .]

Before I knew it.

There is less than a day left until that barrier opens.

Guuuuung… … .

thereafter.

Vimana also began moving near the heat barrier to return to Gangwon-do.

Before returning to Gangwon-do after completing a long mission.

I sat in my room and stared into space.

First of all, I’ve taken care of all the urgent matters.

So, what to do now is… … .

[Return to your original location, or survive until the end of inter-regional protection. (1/1)]

[Reward: Paid differentially according to the influence exerted in the moving area.]

[The maximum payable compensation is given.]

It’s time to check the rewards.
