The Regressor Only Protects Me Chapter 181

Episode 181. Dongjak-gu Jeon (3)

The senior looked back at Lee Ho-seung, who was following behind, and shouted.

“Busan! Come on. What if you’re already having a hard time?”

At his senior's scolding, Lee Ho-seung nodded his head, sweating profusely.

“Sorry, sorry. I’ll catch up quickly.”

Lee Ho-seung ran quickly and marched beside his senior.

The senior patted Lee Ho-seung on the shoulder and comforted him.

“Cheer up. If you just go down that road, you’ll arrive at Seoul National University.”

“… … Yes. Yes. Thank you… … . Thank you.”

Lee Ho-seung looked around, wiping his dry mouth with the back of his hand.

An ogre, laden with a heavy load, strode past the infantry line.

With each step the ogre took, the ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

Thump… … Thump… … Thump… … .

It was awe-inspiring to see that huge body.

Lee Ho-seung looked at the ogre, opened the bottle of water, and took a sip.

The senior spoke with a smile, even though he was sweating profusely.

“It seems that the hero’s ability unit has successfully taken over Seoul National University. At this rate, it should be easy to take over Dongjak as well.”

“… … Ah. Ability Unit.”

Lee Ho-seung knew that Jin Jae-hee was there.

Well, it's Jin Jae-hee.

After seeing Jin Jae-hee's strength in the nest, Lee Ho-seung was convinced that she would survive no matter what happened.

The problem is yourself.

He is holding only a weak and shabby spear.

Senior Lee Ho-seung was always taken care of.

“Cheer up! Busan. If you survive, won’t you be able to smile again? This war is with the heroes. It’s obvious that you will win. So follow me diligently.”

“Hero… … Yes. I believe in you too.”

He is a man that Jin Jae-hee trusts.

There was no reason for Lee Ho-seung not to believe it.

Unit 079 entered the Seoul National University campus.

The model of the main gate, which symbolizes the university, was completely destroyed and left to one side.

Even after entering the university, they did not neglect their surrounding security.

After a three-hour long march from Man-gyeong, they were able to arrive at Seoul National University in Gwanak-gu.

It would have taken them 30 minutes by subway, but it took them 3 hours.

Through this experience, Lee Ho-seung felt deeply how difficult marching was in war.

Then someone shouted.

“This is the elite force! Everyone, close to the left and right!”

The identity of the person was that of the captain of Unit 079, and he was controlling the personnel by waving his hands.

Lee Ho-seung wiped away the sweat and followed his senior to the end of the road.

And the sight of the elite unit that Lee Ho-seung saw was truly terrifying.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

They all had eyes like those of wild beasts, and were armed in a way that was different from that of ordinary infantry.

Although they were of the same strength as my allies, I felt intimidated when standing before them with their overwhelming presence.

It was indeed an elite unit.

The elite unit was made up of people who had endured hellish training, led by the newly appointed Captain Choi Myeong-jun.

Lee Ho-seung looked at the man walking in the front row of the elite group.

He was Choi Myeong-jun, whom I had seen before.

At the appearance of Choi Myeong-jun, the 079th unit was in an uproar.

“… … It’s Choi, Choi Myeong-jun.”

“The hero’s right hand man?”

"amazing."

“Don’t stare too hard. I heard that the elite kids are vicious.”

“They must be vicious. They must be elite. How trustworthy are their faces?”

No matter what was going on around him, Choi Myeong-jun only looked forward and moved forward. The elite unit following him was the same.

Meanwhile, Choi Myeong-jun thought.

Choi Hyun-ji's defense of Gangdong.

Jin Jae-hee's movements are taken over.

Ha Yoon-ha and Jung Hyun-soo's defense of Man-gyeong.

He was moving with his subordinates to carry out Kang Shi-on's special orders.

And among them, Choi Myeong-jun was the one who most wanted to dedicate the greatest credit to his brother.

For the big ball, Choi Myeong-jun trained his elite team members harshly in his own way.

The elite soldiers now have fighting power that can be compared to those with artifact abilities.

The ordinary infantrymen could not help but tremble in fear when they saw the appearance of such elite soldiers.

Even the commander of Unit 079 bowed his head to Choi Myeong-jun.

Lee Ho-seung looked at Choi Myeong-jun's back and thought.

'That man… … . The hero's right hand man… … .'

I couldn't even imagine the sight of him being defeated.

Ogre created a huge wall of life centered around Seoul National University.

As soldiers from all over the world came in one after another, each of them began to build a garrison.

In fact, since this place was originally a forward base for the Metro forces, the battle preparation environment was smoothly created without the need for any special garrison construction.

Seoul National University was at the center of Gwanak.

The moment Seoul National University was occupied, Gwanak-gu was as good as Kang Si-on's.

Kang Si-on first searched for survivors living in Gwanak-gu.

It was also to obtain information from them and to persuade them to join his forces.

But surprisingly, there wasn't a single person there.

Only bones and a rotting, decayed body.

Basically, the Metro organization was concentrated underground in the northern and western parts of Seoul.

Moreover, according to Choi Hyun-ji's information, among the edicts of the Metro forces was one that said, 'Those who go out to the surface will be judged.'

So, unless you are a normal human, there would be no reason for you to come out to the surface.

The reason hunters wear gas masks was the same.

It was thought that everything on earth was contaminated, and gas masks were worn to block even the smallest particles of contamination floating in the air.

Of course, Zion found such things useless.

'They're all stupid things.'

Kang Si-on gave an order to Hwang Min-jae, who was beside him.

“Destroy all the subways in Gwanak using ogres.”

“Okay, I’ll get started right away.”

Hwang Min-jae immediately carried out the hero's orders.

Seoul could be called a city of subways, with so many lines stretching like a spider's web.

I decided that it would be right to destroy all of those lines since they were used as a means of transportation for them.

If you use an ogre, it's very simple.

As if breaking the ice on an icy road with one foot, the ogre used its feet to break down asphalt and cement.

Filling the subway space became the first task in the occupied territory.

Kang Shion's army advanced without stopping.

To quickly occupy Dongjak-gu and pressure Yeouido.

* * *

A few days later, Kang Shi-on's ability unit once again launched a preemptive strike to occupy Dongjak-gu.

This occupation of Dongjak was different from the occupation of Gwanak.

The enemy's defensive forces were stationed there in their own way.

The hunters turned the building into a fortress and began shooting guns and arrows.

In the face of the torrent of bullets and arrows, the soldiers of Man-gyeong, who were at best carrying shields, fell helplessly.

It was no small sacrifice, but no matter how strong the hunters built their defensive positions, they were useless against the ogres.

-Kuaaaa …

Kang Shion's assault ogre let out a terrible roar and charged into the building, firing bullets.

The hunters aimed their guns at the eyes of the rushing ogres.

The flurry of bullets was fierce.

But the ogre paid no attention and charged, covering only its eyes with its hands.

Soon the ogre approached the building.

The hunters realized that the ogre could not be brought down by mere bullets and tried to dodge, but it was too late.

Boom-! Rumble!!!

A huge roar echoed through the city center, like a thunderstorm.

As the ogre threw himself at the building, the concrete structure collapsed as easily as Lego.

Hunters were crushed to death by the rubble of buildings, and even those who managed to survive were met with the swords and spears of the infantry.

The fighting didn't just take place on the streets.

Inside the building.

There, an even fiercer battle was taking place.

The hunter wasn't using a gun as his only weapon.

As Kang Shi-on had expected, the Hunters were only operating a small number of guns per unit, and most of them were regular infantry groups armed with swords and spears.

The Hunter planned to ambush Man-gyeong's main force from inside the building and take them down in one fell swoop.

Of course, the plan all fell apart in front of Choi Myeong-jun's elite force.

A gunshot rang out in the dark hallway.

Tudadadang-!!

The hunter's aim was aimed at the wrong wall, and he dropped his magazine to reload.

Seizing the opportunity, one of the elite soldiers who had been lying in ambush used the hallway wall as a springboard and leapt upward.

Taat-!

The eyes of the hunter in the gas mask grew wide as he looked at the elite agent who jumped up like a flying squirrel.

The elite team members were learning parkour techniques.

And that technology has proven effective inside buildings like this one.

The elite soldier's sword that had risen to the sky swung towards the hunter's neck.

Whirik-. Phew! Swish!

The knife went straight into the Hunter's neck, and the Hunter spurted blood out of his gas mask.

“Puaaaak-!”

The elite agent turned his sword in a cross shape while stabbing it in to finish it off.

When the enemy did not move, the elite soldiers looked for other prey again.

What the elite agent saw when he raised his head were dozens of hunters holding weapons.

The hunters who saw their comrades die miserably before their eyes took a step back.

The elite team members, looking at the retreating hunters, came to only one conclusion.

Without guns, they are nothing more than a rabble.

The elite member stood up, pulling out the sword stuck in his neck, and was followed by numerous elites.

The two groups glared at each other in the hallway.

Without saying a word, they just glared at each other, but the relationship between the groups was clear.

The elite were the eaters, and the hunters were the eaten.

The result of the one-sided slaughter that followed was blood seeping into the narrow hallway.

* * *

Victory news. Victory news. Victory news.

Several times a day, reports of victory reached Zion's ears.

The first few times the surrounding commanders were delighted, but after a few days, victory became a given.

It took less than a day to capture Gwanak, and a week of siege and defense was being waged to capture Dongjak, but it was only a matter of time before the enemy forces were destroyed.

The performance of the Ogres and the Elite Forces was so great that it far exceeded Kang Shi-on's expectations.

In infantry unit combat units, there were cases where they could not withstand the hail of enemy bullets and retreated, but it was different for the Ogres and the elite units.

Winning streak.

As soon as they set out, they achieved victory.

Kang Si-on looked at the map and asked Hwang Min-jae.

“How about Songpa?”

Hwang Min-jae answered Kang Si-on's question right away.

“We are not attacking rashly as ordered, but are focusing only on defending the area.”

Kang Shi-on nodded and answered.

They were also launching an offensive from Songpa.

But there were 20 ogres and Choi Hyeon-ji there.

In addition, Dongwangdo in Gangnam has also received the operation and is cooperating.

The conquest was progressing sequentially, but there was one problem.

The enemy's main force is not visible.

Kang Shi-on expected that they would definitely target the Man-gyeong main camp.

But unexpectedly, they did not move hastily.

I couldn't imagine there could be any other number.

If they don't focus on defense, all that's left is dealing with the monsters of the past.

'Just do what you've been doing. Don't doubt yourself.'

Doubt breeds doubt, which eventually leads to distrust in one's own choices.

The occupation of Dongjak is now imminent, and the supreme leader of Mangyong cannot afford to be intimidated.

Kang Shi-on brushed his hair back and gave orders to the remaining commanders.

“We will accelerate the capture of Dongjak-gu before they reorganize their formation as planned. Hurry.”

The commanders shouted their orders and left the barracks.

The whole city was filled with gunshots and screams.

After a few more days, Dongjak-gu became Kang Si-on's.

Within two weeks of the outbreak of the war, Man-gyeong had acquired territory the size of Man-gyeong.

Jin Jae-hee looked at the river water sparkling in the sunlight.

Except for the corpses of hunters piled up on the riverbank, the Han River had been emitting beautiful colors until now.

She felt that the Han River was somehow sacred.

At that moment, a huge wave occurred on the opposite side of the river.

The mastermind who destroyed all the bridges on the Han River was swarming under the river.

Although you can drink the water from the Han River, it was also the decisive reason why you could not cross the Han River.

Bright red scales rose above the water's surface.

Jin Jae-hee summoned the Holy Sword.
