The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 432
Only Noblemtl
Episode 432 is here.
I looked around.
The scenery of Seoul that I had seen in my memories was so perfectly normal.
I was so shocked by the unrealistic sight that I thought it was ridiculous.
“It looks pretty normal though.”
“There are traces of destruction here and there.”
Not now.
“Considering the monsters that would have appeared, it’s ridiculous that these buildings are still intact. Those so-called governments must have done a pretty good job of defending themselves.”
As the soldiers say.
But he still looked pretty darn fine.
Here and there, it looked like something that didn’t fit in with the surrounding scenery.
‘Destroyed and dilapidated buildings.’
It didn’t look as perfect as before.
I looked at that sight and thought.
‘The battle that took place in Yeouido.’
There was one thing that struck me as odd at that time.
‘The destruction was too severe for the scale of the battle.’
Monsters poured down from the sky.
It could be that the facilities are being destroyed.
However, compared to the Yeouido in my memories, except for that time, the Yeouido at that time was very badly destroyed.
No, even if it is destroyed.
Buildings that had previously looked fine were now covered in dust as if they had been abandoned for over a year.
‘It’s not because our soldiers are so strong that the buildings collapsed so easily.’
The battle at Yeouido was like that too.
The same goes for the buildings that were destroyed with strange ease during the battle in Seoul just a few hours ago.
In the first place.
If it was a really intact building, no matter how strong our soldiers were.
There’s no way it would be torn apart by a few attacks from soldiers who aren’t even squad leaders.
But the reason it collapsed so easily was… … .
There was only one guess.
‘If it was originally a destroyed building, then that could happen.’
It was only the outer surface that was decorated so extravagantly.
If its essence had already collapsed and worn out here and there.
It is understandable that even an attack by ordinary soldiers could easily destroy a building.
After thinking about it that far, a method came to mind.
And, to check if that thought is true.
The destruction was carried out as extensively as possible.
And, the result.
There is one thing I found out.
‘This power has a loophole to exploit.’
This strange phenomenon spreading throughout Seoul is certainly powerful.
The fact was that it was possible to conquer it.
I looked up at the sky blankly and thought.
‘There was no attack this time.’
I guess they thought the reason we were so excited last time was because of the last attack.
As a result of speculating that the attack to eliminate me was perceived as an attack on the Seoul Legion.
This time, they probably won’t carry out the raid itself, but will try to get rid of me in some other way.
but.
“Everyone. This may sound crazy, but listen carefully. We are going to destroy this city.”
“Huh???”
Unfortunately for them.
I had no intention of stopping now.
* * *
Every time our troops set out to destroy a city.
Lieutenant General Kim Myeong-hwan and his unit members continued to interfere with us.
{I believed you were my comrades… … It seems I was mistaken. All troops!!!}
Soldiers who have fought countless battles against monsters and commanders who have led those battles to victory.
The offensive was certainly a great one.
“Ugh… … Are those really humans just like us?”
“When you feel like you’ve suppressed them to a certain extent, return to your acts of destruction! Remember that our goal is not to suppress the enemy, but to destroy Seoul!”
A group of 100 warriors comprised of only the strongest warriors in the legion.
It wasn’t at a level where those warriors could be subdued.
By the time the suppression is complete.
Once again, this world was ‘repeated’.
{It was a good thing I prepared for this situation… … All troops!!!}
“Ignore it, deal with it moderately, and keep destroying it!”
“Loyalty, loyalty!”
And, as the repetition progresses,
Their response began to become slightly more intense.
‘They must have noticed something was wrong by now.’
We are over there.
No, to be exact, I noticed that this guy named Jang Young-woong was continuously rewinding time in Seoul.
They must be aware by now that we have noticed his power.
then.
It was obvious what their response would be.
‘They’ll try to subdue us.’
The initiative to cause a repetition is on their side.
Even if they are defeated by us, we can just repeat it over and over again.
The moment we are overpowered by them, that’s the end.
‘If you isolate me and Lieutenant Kim and then repeat that loop, I’ll lose all my memories again.’
While I continue to pursue my goals.
You must never be overpowered by them.
The conditions were insanely unfavorable, but I had to do it.
{It was a good idea to have the troops deployed forward just in case… … . All forces!!!}
At first.
For some reason, the troops that had been waiting at a nearby base were only deployed a little further forward.
{It was a good idea to station all of your troops here in case of an emergency… … . All forces!!!}
“… … Even though we have a bit more troops, ignore them and keep destroying!”
Let’s repeat this a few times.
Before I knew it, the number of enemy troops seemed to be increasing.
{It was a good idea to redeploy all the firearms that were stationed elsewhere to this area just in case… … All troops!!!}
“… … Private Shin?”
“That’s a bit hard to ignore.”
Next is
All kinds of military weapons, of unknown origin, were deployed, targeting us.
Let’s get to this point.
Even for our unit members, it has become difficult to deal with them.
“… … Let’s eat and then do it.”
“Enjoy your meal!!!”
From my side too.
There were still numbers left that had not been mobilized.
“Kiyooo …
The men who ate my cooking went on a rampage against the entire force of the water defense forces spread throughout Seoul, destroying the city.
If the cooking performance hadn’t improved, I would have backed out at this point.
{It was hard to believe that the Northern Army was advancing south to target us… … .}
Let’s get to this point.
I wonder if they were also thinking of seeing it through to the end.
{It was a good thing that we received support from other groups just in case. The Capital Defense Command, Seoul Autonomous Defense Corps, Anti-Terrorism Unit, Presidential Security Service, Police SWAT, Marine Corps Association, Religious Organizations Association, and other armed groups in Seoul!}
“crazy.”
Before we even begin the full-scale destruction.
All kinds of groups that were said to be spread throughout Seoul came rushing in and attacked us first.
“Coolook… … .”
“God… … Sergeant, there are too many… … !”
From here on out, it became difficult for even the unit members who had eaten my cooking to respond.
If we’re not careful, there could be casualties on our side.
‘Until then, there was no sign of them trying to kill us.’
I’m not sure though.
For some reason, they wanted to take our legion under their command.
Except for special cases like mine, there has been no apparent attempt to kill legionnaires.
‘Isn’t that the case now?’
The other side was no longer hesitating to kill.
If that ‘repeat’ happens after the legionnaire dies.
Whether the dead legionnaires will come back to life or not… I don’t know.
‘There must be no deaths.’
then.
hmm.
Knock knock.
I opened my mouth and tapped the floor with my boots.
“hey.”
-yes.
Okay then.
A polite voice came from beneath my feet.
“I guess you guys have to work.”
-What do you mean?
“Spread out in all directions and cause destruction.”
If they come out in quantity.
We should do that too.
-An act of destruction. It’s not bad, but… …Aren’t they human?
It was a short question though.
It wasn’t difficult to understand the intention behind it.
The Night Nobles are a race that becomes stronger by drinking blood.
However, I have placed limits on vampiress targeting humans.
If they have that limitation, their power will also be weakened.
“This time is an exception.”
then.
“Don’t look at me and do as your instincts tell you.”
-… … !
In that regard.
Trapped in the shadows, suppressing their instincts.
Those who had to follow only my orders.
-The children… … will be very happy.
I can feel their joy.
Soon, the numerous sounds that had been felt in the shadows spread throughout Seoul.
* * *
“Now, General!”
“Something!”
“We got a call from the SWAT team!”
“What contact!”
Recently, Seoul has been busy preparing for battle.
The military force that settled in the north.
After it was revealed that they were in fact a rebel group dreaming of rebellion, and a group filled with greed who wanted to bring the entire Republic of Korea under their control.
All the forces spread across Seoul joined forces and prepared to respond to their invasion.
‘It’s a bit odd that the invasion consisted of only about 100 soldiers, though.’
Anyway, the preparation was quite successful.
They were able to gain the upper hand against the invading legion’s soldiers.
But now.
“Special forces are withdrawing from the battlefield! They say they will move to the rear!”
“… … !?”
An alliance between those forces.
It was about to collapse.
“If we just push a little harder, we can subdue those traitors, but why are you suddenly leaving the battlefield! Why!”
“That, that.”
All the armed groups that existed in Seoul were those who were truly working to protect Seoul.
I couldn’t believe that those people would suddenly step down.
“They say monsters have suddenly appeared all over Seoul… … !”
“what?”
“They are indiscriminately attacking buildings, facilities, and even people… … .”
That’s also the reason why they left.
It was to protect Seoul.
‘The police special forces and autonomous crime prevention forces are those who prioritize maintaining public order within their territory over external invasion… ‘
In the immediate battle with the legion, Seoul had the upper hand.
To move to deal with the monsters within the area that are causing even more serious destruction.
That in itself made sense.
What I don’t understand is.
‘A monster suddenly appeared?’
Why at this timing?
The point was whether monsters had appeared.
“… … The monsters are too strong! The religious union and the Marine Corps Homecoming Association are also going to provide support… … !”
Even.
“Ah, the Presidential Security Service has relayed that the safety of the Acting President is at risk due to an unexpected situation, and the Security Service will be protecting the Acting President from the underground bunker in the Capitol… …!”
“We’ve also received a call from the Autonomous Neighborhood Watch! The scale of the monsters running rampant throughout the city is worse than the soldiers invading from the north, so the Neighborhood Watch will focus on subduing them!”
“Acting authority… … What the heck is this?”
Those monsters.
The point was that it was not a problem of such scale that it could be solved by just one or two forces.
* * *
“… … Phew. Byeong-cheol.”
“Eww! Byeong-cheol Kwak of the 563rd Brigade!”
“Am I seeing it correctly?”
In the heart of Seoul.
An old man wearing red asked with a cigarette in his mouth.
A middle-aged man of considerable age answered with a respectful attitude.
“It seems like you are watching it well!!!”
“Really? Is that so?”
What the old man’s gaze was directed towards.
“That ridiculously large snake is wrapping itself around an entire building and crushing it… is that real?”
“yes!!!”
“What is it, really… … .”
A snake of overwhelming size with glowing red eyes.
It was a scene where countless monsters following the snake were destroying Seoul.
It wasn’t just there.
“Chief Security! Are you here?”
“what’s the matter?”
“About 10 minutes ago, that monster invaded Yeouido. It broke through the outer barrier in one blow and entered… … For now, we are responding with the Presidential Security Service’s troops, but it seems like it’s only a matter of time before it reaches the underground bunker where the VIPs are… … !”
The center of power in current Seoul.
A giant monster with black claws appeared in Yeouido.
“You need reinforcements from the North?”
“Damn it, tell Lieutenant General Kim Myung-hwan to look at that monster’s face and tell him!”
“If we lose this place, everyone will starve! We have to protect what we have to eat!”
In the area where Seoul’s key materials were stored.
A lion with white skin appears and starts to run wild.
“Sergeant Park! Where did all the anti-aircraft guns around here go?”
“That, that’s because they’ve all been redeployed to respond to an invasion from the north… …!”
“Then how do I get that bird off!”
Flying low between tall buildings.
Even a giant monster that destroys everything it touches with its wings.
BANG!!!
“Most of the monsters in Seoul have already been subdued, so where did such powerful monsters suddenly appear from?”
Monsters start running wild from all directions.
Each of those monsters was a formidable enemy that required the combined strength of all of Seoul’s armed forces to subdue.
‘All monsters are at least on a similar level to the monsters we encountered during the military expedition… … .’
Seoul is the place where all military units succeeded in subduing the enemy.
If given enough time and space.
Those monsters that are running wild right now, we might be able to defeat them eventually.
but.
‘There is no such time or leisure!’
At that point.
Lieutenant General Kim Myeong-hwan heard the news that the 3rd Battery had fallen into the hands of the corps.
* * *
Deploy the soldiers.
Feed me my food.
Even deploying troops that were in the shadows.
This city continues to be destroyed.
And so, like that.
Several times.
Repeat this dozens of times, destroying the city as you go.
“Is this Seoul? It looks pretty decent… … .”
“I think this is about the same level as Chuncheon, where we were stationed.”
The point where ‘repetition’ begins.
The scenery seen there begins to change little by little.
“Is this Seoul…? … It looks pretty ordinary.”
“To this extent, it is similar to the cities in Gangwon-do that were less destroyed.”
like that.
A city that seemed excessively normal.
“Is this Seoul… … .”
“Tsk. It seems like Seoul wasn’t all that safe after all.”
That appearance.
When it gradually changes into a completely different appearance.
“stop.”
“… … ?”
In a world that repeats itself again.
What appeared before our eyes were not soldiers from the Capital Defense Command as before.
“Let’s stop here.”
“Hey, who is that old man?”
The main culprit who caused this endless repetition.
The man with the haggard face was Jang Young-woong.
