Phew!
Phew!
H-beams poured at intervals of every second.
This time again, the ‘multiple shipment’ capability shone through.
They were the beasts of Mirkwood, with a powerful repulsive force.
It wasn’t easy to break through their defenses…
Phew!
Wake up!
The circuit drawn by the dwarves with the granted ‘explosion’ property exploded, shattering the rampaging beasts into pieces.
Thud thud thud!
The corpses of beasts dyed the city in blood.
The beasts’ movements became even more sluggish due to the giant bomb that suddenly flew in from the sky.
“…Let’s go as far as we can. The civilian evacuation has already been completed anyway.”
Maybe they thought we would protect Washington.
Because Washington used to be a symbolic city of the United States.
But neither I nor Priest Glenn were people who were attached to the old name of America.
Our first priority is to destroy the Confederacy and restore peace to America.
For that reason, the old city that was now just a shell was fine.
Pusheeeeee-
Smoke spread thickly.
The Southern leader, Madison, was once again releasing poisonous gas.
I guess you wanted to see us staggering around intoxicated by the poisonous gas…
“…It’s so refreshing, it’s exhilarating.”
Clang, clang.
Luckily, we had the World Tree leaves that the druids had made for us.
I didn’t even feel a little drunk.
On the contrary, they were slaughtering the beasts with a clearer mind than ever before by using ‘tracked delivery’ and ‘multiple shipments.’
If anything, the only hindrance was that the view was slightly obstructed by the thick smoke.
Further…
The usefulness of the World Tree leaves did not end there.
“…I never thought it would help Gigant too.”
Kwaaaaang!
Crunch!
Gigant appeared like a flash of lightning and stuck his cannon into the leopard’s mouth.
Wheeing-!
Phew!
A leopard’s head exploded in an instant.
As if he wasn’t satisfied with that, Gigant rushed to the place where a dozen beasts were gathered.
-Keeeek!?
-Kaaaak!
The panicked beasts tried to escape from Gigant, but…
Kwaaaaaaaah!
A huge explosion swallowed them whole.
Above the explosion that rose like a cloud, the pilot’s parachute was sucked into the portal with a thud.
Beyond being a means of transportation, the Gigant has become a combat weapon.
In order to operate the aircraft’s output stably and to determine the appropriate self-destruct timing, a reaction speed close to skill would be required.
But…
-Why does it work so well…?
-Somehow it feels like the gigantic ones are one body…
It was a change that came from chewing on the leaves of the World Tree.
Concentration, reaction speed, and even awakening effects.
Because all the Gigant Riders, including Lee Yong-soo, were seeing the full effects of it.
Despite Mirkwood’s fierce offensive, the tide of battle was already turning.
The suicide giants that appeared like ghosts confused the enemies, and I poured out H-Beams and Holy Lances along the path they moved.
The Northern Army also used the ‘special cannons’ they had taken from the South to bombard the enemies, giving them strength.
Only then did Mirkwood change his strategy.
-Wow!
It started out as an armored ape giving orders to the beasts.
Chuck!
Chuck!
An ape waved its arms toward the sky, perhaps sending a signal.
The change was evident to none other than the Beasts heading to Washington.
They were wild beasts that ran wild blindly.
But suddenly, as if they had come to their senses, they began to occupy the streets and alleys of the city in unison.
They waited calmly for the giants to reach their desired location,
Taaaaang!
Finally managing to strike.
Phew!
A pilot flying into the sky without any particular income.
This time, as expected, the gigantic explosion occurred…
Kwaaaaaaaah!
No beasts were harmed.
Kaaaaaaah!
Kaaaak!
Kkwarrrrrrrr!
Crumbling buildings on Washington Street.
While they moved systematically according to the ape’s signals, when they actually went into battle, they made full use of the ‘berserk’ effect that the drug gave them.
A cool, yet mad attack.
I couldn’t help but frown.
“It’s more difficult than I thought…”
Because the battle was becoming increasingly even.
-What should I do, Mr. Jeong-gyeom?
Lee Yong-soo asked over the radio.
The strategy of using gigantism was gradually reaching its limits.
Without thinking too much, it was that ape that was the problem.
An armored ape, presumed to be the boss of Mirkwood.
It was as if he was sending out some kind of radio waves because he was commanding hundreds and thousands of beasts in perfect unison.
It was difficult to deal with the guy right away.
Not only did he have to guard the rear, but he also had to first kill the hundreds of beasts rushing in front of him.
Meanwhile,
“Mr. Yong-soo, if you think about it…”
A good idea occurred to me.
“I was able to send a message too.”
-Communication?
Lee Yong-soo asked, as if to ask what that meant.
I immediately prepared a heartfelt message to send to the beasts.
That too, a message that would be of the utmost importance.
Then he immediately asked Pax.
“Pax, spray all those from the Mirkwood dimension.”
[Okay.] [Can I send one message per entity?]
“What are you talking about? You have to send two per second until you die. Pour them out like crazy.”
[Okay.] [Sending message.]
I had no choice but to try it.
Beasts communicating through apes.
I don’t know exactly what the mechanism is, but…
Because thousands of spam texts will fill their attention.
“…It’s not as easy as I thought.”
Deltaras, the commander of the Mirkwood dimension, was quietly observing the situation.
He had to use his communication skills earlier than planned to deal with the enemy’s machine robots that suddenly appeared.
-There’s a gigant at the end of the alley. Take a detour and take advantage of the opportunity.
-You have to gather numbers and go to that alley. Wait a moment, I’ll send additional troops.
-That’s right! Run!
The ape Deltaras was the collective intelligence of the Mirkwood dimension itself.
Hundreds of messages running through his head.
Following his instructions, the beasts moved in unison, and thanks to that, they were slowly driving back the Northern Army, including Gigant.
“Okay, keep doing that…”
The Northern Army’s defensive line was slowly collapsing.
Now all that remained was to wipe them out.
“It must be really good.”
Deltaras smiled faintly.
The Northern Army’s strength alone is expected to be at least tens of thousands of people.
As the vanguard, Mirkwood will be able to collect a considerable amount of magic stones.
“If I pull it off properly this time, I’ll get the gauntlet and…”
These were pieces of equipment that I had been waiting for a long time to get.
Deltaras let his imagination run wild as he thought about the profits he would make.
He was in a very good mood, but…
Tiring!
—
[Web transmission]
Overseas Approval 6***

If you are not the person in question, contact the Chamber of Commerce: 02…
—
The sudden message sent shivers down his spine.
“…What is this?”
He didn’t know either.
That this message came from none other than the Chamber of Commerce.
But the content was incredibly confusing.
“When did I ever spend money!”
Deltaras opened the awakening system in a hurry, but…
Actually, he had other issues to worry about.
-Tiring!
-Tiring!
-Tiring!
[Web transmission] Overseas approval…
[Web transmission] Overseas approval…
[Web transmission] Overseas approval…
[Web transmission] Overseas…
Dozens, hundreds of messages popping up like crazy.
He was busy moving his hands to close the message window, but the speed at which the messages came to his mind was several times faster.
“…What is this!”
And…
The effect of the phishing texts that flew in like that was considerable.
-Kaaaak?
-Keeee…
The beasts suddenly stopped moving.
They all stood still and began to look around with dumbfounded expressions.
-Move! You stupid kids!
Deltaras was shouting out orders at the top of his lungs…
The situation was the same for the beasts.
It was because of the hundreds of messages that came flying in right away.
Deltaras’ voice was quickly erased by the notification sound.
And the result…
Kwaaaaang!
Taaaaang!
Along with the screams of the beasts, another explosion began to be heard.
“Fuck! Fuck!”
Beasts dwindled in an instant.
It was Deltaras who was stamping his feet…
“…That?”
An even bigger crisis was looming over him.
“Now that I think about it…”
Beasts from the Mirkwood dimension stood still.
Thanks to that, the path leading to the commander himself was completely empty.
And…
Quagagagagagaga!
A gigantic blast of energy was shooting towards him like crazy.
A gigantic ship that exploded in the rear and emitted absurd propulsion.
WHEEK!
A guy holding an unidentified spear surrounded by white light…
Phew!
“Ugh!”
He pierced Deltaras’ body without hesitation.
“…How?”
A long spear protruded from the back.
It was a repulsive force equivalent to a whopping 6th level.
It was the result of the delicate circuitry of the dwarves drawn on the Holy Spear, plus the explosive output of the Gigant.
Phew!
Likewise, the Gigant was hit by an explosion after the pilot escaped.
A terrible heat and pain enveloped Deltaras, but…
There was another issue that confused him.
“…Why are you alive?”
The heart was pierced exactly.
He was prepared to die as he watched the window pierce through his strength.
However, Deltaras’ life still clung tenaciously.
And…
Slowly.
Slowly.
Deltaras noticed an unidentifiable tentacle rising from between the pierced stomach.
Before he knew it, the surrounding area was filled with pink gas.
So what he witnessed was…
“…”
It was Madison, the leader of the Confederate army, calmly wearing a gas mask.
A pill he swallowed to get crazy.
The ingredient interacted with the pink gas, causing fatal mutations in the beasts’ bodies.
“Madison…! You little punk!”
It was a clear act of betrayal.
Deltaras was full of anger, but it didn’t last long.
A mutation started from his heart.
The tentacles that started crawling up like bugs engulfed his entire body.
It was right after killing the ape.
Yongsu Lee, who ended up stabbing the guy with a spear.
I quickly put him into a subspace, but…
“Why don’t you die…?”
The ape was moving around normally.
The same was true of other beasts.
Their entire bodies were covered with all kinds of tentacles.
They were crossing the streets of Washington, waving their dangling purple engines.
Kwaaaaaaaah!
The problem was that they had gotten insanely strong.
Every time the tentacle-covered bear swung its arms, a building would be blown away, and the Gigant that had barely managed to send its pilot out was blown up by the panthers.
Piwoong!
Phew!
The Northern Army was constantly firing shells,
Slowly.
Slowly.
As soon as the wound was made, the tentacles regenerated.
That was when…
“Ugh…”
What came into view was the appearance of the Confederate Army.
They were constantly firing gas canisters toward Washington, and everyone was wearing gas masks.
It was a familiar sight, but something was different.
A smoky pink smoke filled the battlefield.
There were even beasts covered in tentacles and mutating.
No matter how you looked at it, that was the effect of the ‘new gas can’ they shot up.
“I guess it’s not good for your health, seeing as they’re wearing gas masks…”
Mutant beasts that had begun to run wild.
Looking at their overwhelming power, it was clear that neither the Gigantes nor the Awakened were any match for them.
“For now…”
By triggering a product recall, all the Gigants were recovered.
Then, he also delivered a message to the Northern Army through Pax.
Through a portal installed in Washington, they were told to evacuate to Chicago.
Because with the recently opened ‘portal transport,’ people and objects could be transported without having to enter subspace.
Now…
“Mr. Jeong-gyeom, are you okay?”
All that was left on the battlefield were me and Yongsu Lee.
“I’ve been in a few plane crashes.”
“Haha… That’s right.”
Yongsu Lee, who pulled out a new Gigant from the subspace.
He picked me up with his large Gigant hand.
And…
Percussion!
I stepped deeply.
Phew!
A violent explosion occurred from Gigant’s shoulder.
Based on that power, Lee Yong-soo threw me towards the Southern camp.
Wheaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
It was a way to overcome the skill’s range.
After flying for a long time…
Jiiing.
Above the Confederates’ bedside, a portal bloomed beautifully to retrieve me.
And then,
“Product recall.”
Swoosh!
Using the ‘medicine category,’ they sucked up the drugs they were using by type.
Gas cans, pills, and even drugs packaged in powder form.
Kkudangtang!
It was sucked into subspace.
Through the satellite of the logistics situation room, the Southern Army was able to be observed moving again.
The Southern Army didn’t show any particular agitation even though a person suddenly flew in from the sky.
They just watched the slowly mutated monsters and adjusted the straps of their gas masks.
“…Are you confident about this?”
They were now mutated beasts completely out of control.
The fact that they’d turned the entire Mirkwood into monsters meant that they were confident they could get rid of them somehow.
It wasn’t difficult to guess the source of that confidence.
“Are you sure you’re going to self-destruct?”
It was a mutation that gave great power, but it was clear that there was a risk.
No matter how you looked at it, it was hard to see how normal the sight of beasts with their organs sticking out along with their tentacles looked.
The beasts of Mirkwood, who would lay waste to Washington and then die on their own.
If that was the confidence of the Confederates, my subsequent strategy was also simple.
“Pax, take back all the gas masks they’re wearing.”
[All right.]
It was the Confederates who were harassing us with all kinds of toxic substances.
There’s no better way to deal with them.
There were some mutated beasts that ran into Washington, but… that wasn’t a problem either.
“Spray the recovered medicine. A lot.”
An ingredient that may be no different from a deadly poison.
You just have to spray the medicine really thickly.
“…If you’re going to take medicine, you should take it to this extent.”
That was the role of the large logistics center.
