Episode 106. Prelude to the Counterattack (2)
Like a rugby player leaping towards a touchdown, the Ogre hurled himself towards the enemy main force.
-Kuaaaa …
The Ogre’s majesty was so overwhelming that it filled the sky above the battlefield.
The warriors below looked at it in amazement.
Soon the ogre’s massive charge swept them away.
BAM-! KWAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA!
In the wake of the ogre, people were tossed around like sheets of paper, crushed and stuck to the asphalt like gum.
The warriors lost their will to fight and were busy running away.
“Ugh… … !”
“A monster… … . It’s a monster… … !”
“Ahhhh!”
“Ah …
The warriors, who had already been severely beaten by the ogres for the past month, were quick to flee at the sight of the giant ogre.
Some people just sat there, unable to even make a sound.
There were also warriors who threw themselves at the fallen ogres and swung their weapons at them.
But that was it.
The ogre rose, taking the spears and arrows of the warriors with impunity.
To the ogres, their attacks were like stabbing with a toothpick.
The creature stared at the prey in front of him with its mouth watering. Its huge eyes moved left and right without mercy at the sight of fresh meat after such a long time.
Some ogres were waving their hands into the building like bears digging out a beehive.
It was buffet time.
* * *
At the entrance of Anyang 1st Street, there was a forward base for the Dong-an Army.
But the base’s defenses were crude.
Before an ogre, everyone is equal.
Everyone is sucked equally into the giant maw.
I was riding on the head of the ‘chief ogre’, the biggest of the ogres.
It was to assess the battlefield situation and issue response orders.
Then I thought about Park Ji-soo’s next move.
I think in advance about what number she will play and how I should respond.
‘The enemy’s main force is approaching Anyang Station. I think I can block this with the level of the 1st Army’s defense force. The battle at the entrance to Ilbong Street and the center is almost all over my side… … But I can’t ignore the ambush or the scouts coming from Myeonghak Station. They won’t just charge. Is there something else I can do?’
2 moves ahead, 3 moves ahead, 4 moves ahead.
Park Ji-soo thought of every possible move she could think of.
‘If I were Park Ji-soo, rather than attacking Ilbeon-ga, which is advantageous for defense, I would send about one to two thousand troops toward Gwangmyeong, and then strike at the rear of Man-gyeong from beyond Mt. Suri… … . Since I have a large number of troops, I can strike at both the front and the rear. Of course, I have set traps at Mt. Suri, so I won’t be able to cross the mountain as easily as I think. So… … What are you going to do now? The last card you have. What is it?’
The warriors of the time are exhausted.
The best troops of our army were thrown into the battlefield in an exhausted state.
Originally, these ogres were a secret weapon saved for the defense of Man-gyeong.
However, Park Ji-soo did not attack Man-gyeong right away, but instead confronted her head-on.
Did they come at us head-on, trusting in numbers, weapons, or players? Or is there another way?
I concentrated and reviewed Park Ji-soo’s numbers.
Kim Dong-gil at the shopping mall and Park Geon-woo at the police station both had their own plans, but I saw through them all.
Deploy the hungry ogre force.
I guess I pulled out my secret weapon pretty early.
Of course, the secret weapon was slaughtering the enemy as befitting the description of ‘secret weapon’.
Even if you make this many moves, if Park Ji-soo doesn’t respond, you’ll eventually have to make the next move.
If Man-Gyeong has been focusing only on defense so far, now is the time to go on the offensive.
‘… What are you thinking? It can’t be this easy. There must be some hidden trick. If you want to see the full power of Man-gyeong. If that’s what you’re really waiting for. … … Alright. I’ll accept it.’
Having made up my mind, I ordered my subordinates to launch an all-out attack.
‘I’ll give it my all this time.’
There is no need to show any consideration.
The reserve force of Man-Gyeong, which had been conserving its strength, began to charge into the cruel battlefield that the Ogre had trampled.
* * *
-Kuaaaaaaaah!
Boohoo-!
A black shadow floated across the sky.
The ogre lifted the bus tank and sent it flying towards the warriors.
Boom, boom, thud!
A bus weighing nearly 10 tons flew into the sky and then fell limply to the ground.
The ogres then rushed in, picked up the fallen warriors, and stuffed them into their mouths.
The overwhelming destructive power of the Ogres was beyond the ability of humans to counter, and the war was now beginning to tilt.
But during that time, I didn’t just sit there and watch with my eyes open.
While the player was deployed to the battlefield, the goblin mask rushed at the ogre.
Tadah!
She grabbed the spear and aimed into the ogre’s eyes.
-Kuaaaaaaaah!

The ogre, having discovered the goblin mask, swung his fist.
Boohoo-!
But the ogre’s fist sliced through the air and destroyed the roof of the building next to it.
Kookookookook!
The Ogre’s destructive power was so great that it could even destroy buildings like sand castles.
Even after seeing such tremendous power, the Goblin Mask did not stop.
He managed to climb onto the ogre’s shoulder and stab his spear into its cheek.
The ogre howled in pain.
-Kwaaaaaaaah-!
The goblin mask immediately twisted its upper body and continued its attack.
Choprachoprachoprachoprachoprachopra-!
Her spear’s blade sliced through the ogre’s cheek, then headed straight for its eye.
I already knew about the goblin mask.
The ogre’s weak point is its eyes.
The ogre writhed in agony. The warriors cheered as they watched the giant monster stagger.
But what the goblin’s spear blade hit was not the ogre’s eye.
The moment the blade was about to pierce the pupil, a black lightning bolt stopped the goblin’s blade.
Kwajik-! Pubbuk!!!!!!!!!!
Immediately afterwards, a black lightning bolt bounced off the blade and struck the goblin mask.
Choaaaak-!
The black lightning that clung to the goblin mask’s entire body as if it were covered in black paint began to slowly engulf her body.
“… … ?!”
The goblin mask tried to slip off.
But I couldn’t move a single finger.
The black lightning hardened like stone and bound her.
The owner of Black Lightning is Choi Hyun-ji.
Choi Hyun-ji, who was sitting on the ogre’s head, looked at Sophia, the goblin mask, and said.
“Where… … Look over there.”
She incapacitated the player during the fight with one blow.
* * *
The fighting continued throughout the morning.
The sun was slowly rising, and the ogre picked up the corpses one by one and devoured them.
Now the battle on Ilban Street has entered a lull.
The sky above Ilban Street was dyed red by the fireworks, and the ground was dyed red by the blood of the warriors.
The archers of Man-gyeong followed them to the end and hunted down every single person who remained.
Zion stood on the battlefield.
It was a great victory.
The soldiers cheered when they saw their monarch.
“wow-!!!”
“Eww-!!!”
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!!!”
“AAAAAHHHH!!!”
Their cheers rang high in the sky.
It was a cheer of victory.
Although there were some small victories reported in the Battle of Bisan-dong, the victory here at Ilban-ga had a different meaning.
Great victory.
But despite their laughter and cheers, Zion could never smile.
Because the war wasn’t over yet.
Park Ji-soo never showed up until the end.
She seemed to have gone back to her old days.
At that moment, Jin Jae-hee, who was on top of the building, approached Zion in one breath.
Her body was covered in blood. Of course, there were no wounds.
As Jaehee approached, Zion got to the main point.
“What about the pursuit party?”
“We left three minutes ago as ordered. We won’t miss a single person.”
“It has to end for sure. That way it’s meaningful.”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
Zion walked down Anyang Ilbeonga Street, which was stained with corpses and blood.
Even while walking and checking on the soldiers’ safety, he did not stop talking to her.
Today, the Man-Gyeong counteroffensive has begun, and now the soldiers will regroup and advance across the Anyang River to Dong-an.
As expected, the warriors’ power will not be able to stop the friendly forces’ counterattack while they survive in the Bisan-dong Pamian apartment complex.
In reality, the warriors would have expended most of their forces at the Pamian Apartment Complex in Bisan-dong.
The war is now over.
Everything went as Zion wanted.
From beginning to end.
All that remained was the monarch’s neck.
‘The best way is to completely break the enemy’s spirit and make them surrender. To do that, we’ll need Park Ji-soo’s head.’
A cold wind blew through the alley.
The weather was cool like early spring, and the sunlight pouring down at noon made me sweat.
Kang Si-on stopped walking and looked back at Jin Jae-hee.
Swish-. Swish.
She was wiping the blood off her cheek with her palm.
But the more I wiped the ball, the more the blood spread.
Zion, who had been staring blankly at the sight, turned the bag he was carrying towards him and opened the zipper.
Jiiiiiik-.
“Give the soldiers a day off. … … Wipe them with this, not your hands.”
As Zion said that, he took a towel out of his bag.
Jin Jae-hee looked at Zion for a moment and then picked up a towel.
Then he buried his face in the towel.
Zion continued speaking while looking at Jaehee like that.
“I’ll take Choi Myeong-jun to Bisan-dong. You stay here and recharge your batteries.”
Jin Jae-hee fought without resting a single day since the war began.
Even though the power of the artifact was not complete, he annihilated all enemies with the determination of a hundred men against one.
In fact, if Jin Jae-hee hadn’t been there, Ilbeonga wouldn’t have been able to survive until Kang Si-on arrived.
And Jin Jae-hee had no intention of resting.
“… … I’m fine. What about you? It seems like you need to rest.”
Jin Jae-hee lifted his face, which was covered in a towel, and looked at Zion.
The blood on her face had been roughly wiped away.
Zion was also experiencing accumulated fatigue.
Zion, too, has not rested a single day since the war began.
He didn’t sleep more than three hours, and commanded the battlefield while running around Bisan-dong and Anyang Station.
Despite such circumstances, Zion was able to read other people’s thoughts with his outstanding observation skills.
Sion read Jaehee’s thoughts in an instant and grabbed her right hand.
Snap-!
She was momentarily surprised, but then looked at her hand in his.
Jin Jae-hee’s hands were shaking a little, no, sharply.
Zion felt the trembling of her hands completely.
Even though he gripped her a little harder, her hands wouldn’t stop shaking.
Jaehee had continued fighting without even checking his own physical condition.
Zion let go of her hand and said,
“Go back. That’s an order.”
Jaehee’s hand naturally slipped out of his.
And Jaehee held his trembling right hand tightly with his left hand.
I couldn’t tell how long I had been shaking like this.
Jin Jae-hee lowered his head.
“……okay.”
“I’ll contact you, so wait.”
At Zion’s voice, Jaehee raised his head again.
Before he knew it, he was walking towards the battlefield again with his officers.
* * *
Park Ji-soo was ‘watching’ the battle on Ilban Street while munching on snacks.
As one warrior fell into the ogre’s mouth, Park Ji-soo also poured popcorn into her mouth.
And she didn’t hide her excitement.
“Whoahaha-! Wow-! It’s a really big guy! A really big guy is eating a guy the size of X. Wow-! Wow… … ! He looks like a giant. T, T. You know that anime?”
“… …Your Majesty.”
“I can’t believe the master of ogre taming is Kang Shi-on. I really didn’t expect that. Ah… … The more I get to know him, the crazier he becomes?! Puhehe… … Puhahahahaha!”
“Your Majesty… … !”
Park Ji-soo was giggling and enjoying it, but the subordinate next to her was not enjoying it at all.
Contrary to the monarch’s smile, the battlefield situation was truly dire.
The bus tank that was displayed curiously was completely crushed by the ogre, and the soldiers of Man-gyeong, including the player, were slowly advancing towards this place.
While the players were still continuing the battle, the odds were already tilted towards Man-gyeong.
The secretary, more worried than the monarch, nodded and spoke cautiously.
“Your Majesty… … . Now… … it’s over. The troops now!”
“are you okay…….”
Park Ji-soo quickly cut him off and waved her hand.
She continued to mutter, her head half-bowed.
“… … They say that when times are tough, those who smile are first-class.”
Park Ji-soo suddenly remembered what a police officer had said in the past.
-Student. When times are tough, the one who smiles is first-class, first-class. Everyone in the world- has had difficult experiences. I just think of it as a passing pain. And it’s family. Family.
“……are you okay.”
-Agree? Yeah? If we don’t agree, it’ll be a huge hassle. And. You might not get punished for this. So just take the money and… … .
“… … It’s okay. Everything will be okay. Everything-. It’s okay.”
The secretary was startled by the king’s voice, which had become very quiet, and raised his head.
Flutter-.
Her black coat hung in the air for a moment before falling to the blood-soaked floor.
Park Ji-soo took off her coat and looked forward.
The space around her was shaking steadily.
The power of a powerful artifact was swirling around her.
“Your Majesty… … ? Your Majesty! Let’s retreat for now! Hey! Bring your Majesty!”
“Yes… …Okay!”
“Your Majesty!”
Two warriors ran to support Park Ji-su.
But Park Ji-soo cursed in a small voice.
“… … F**k.”
At that moment, Park Ji-soo stretched out his right hand towards the two warriors who rushed at him.
Choaaaah!
At that moment, the two warriors who were running were beheaded.
The warriors following him hesitated and stopped walking.
“Uh… … .”
“laugh……?!”
The power of the monarch hidden behind a veil.
Even her closest associates didn’t know.
That was also the decisive reason why Manager ‘K’ designated Park Ji-soo as the winner of this war.
Park Ji-soo, the monarch and player.
She said, looking at the warriors running towards her.
“Who told you to touch my body?”
The ground was rippling around her.
