Chapter 267 – 267
An enemy impervious to bullets and artillery fire.
It was a disaster, and when such a monster appeared, the generals had no choice but to give up the territory they had recovered from the monster and gave the order to retreat with tears in their eyes.
It’s sad, but what can I do when I don’t have a weapon that can work against them?
“Ghost monster! Why are they bombs and bombings and nothing works for them! Grim Reaper! … Because of that guy, my division troops… ! My promotion…!! My dream is to give it 4 stars!! Turn off, stall…”
“Oh! The division commander fell down again while holding the back of his head! Call the medical officer! Medical officer!”
The reason why the entire human race did not perish at the hands of such monsters was because at such moments, beings called Tower Trial survivors or superpowers, and these days, commonly referred to as ‘awakeners’ faithfully served as humanity’s protectors.
Now, in Korea, they are starting to be called ‘hunters’ because they specialize in dealing with monsters. They are paid a small price to deal with monsters that are hostile to humanity and impervious to bullets and shells.
(Or they belong to government agencies or the Ministry of Defense and worked as a special unit dedicated to monsters.)
Humanity took a breather thanks to the awakened people… , Defense generals from around the world suffered a serious blow to their pride.
The painful reality is that the military, which is supposed to protect the people and the country, has lost its original purpose and has to run away, crying like children scared of ghosts, when ghosts, ghosts, or other monsters with shields that impervious to bullets and shells appear.
Some non-orthodox factions within the military suggested creating a special military unit composed of hunters to respond, and in fact, most countries still do so.
However, just as there are political factions and factions in the martial arts world, there were political factions and factions within the military.
The Hunter Special Forces they claim are apostles and those who make such claims are apostles.
A political faction must always follow the highest standards of purity and purity.
The moment he raised the magic sword called Hunter Special Forces just to win, he was Sapa.
In other words, ‘ordinary people’ must defeat their enemies with ‘weapons that even ordinary people can use.’
For example, is it possible to enjoy an enchantment effect by plating silver on a bullet like in a fantasy movie or drama?
Only then will you become a truly noble scholar, not a recluse… , No, he could be seen as a general of the Ministry of Defense.
This was not just Korea’s idea; generals from all over the world had similar thoughts.
(Some people questioned whether it was because they didn’t want to lose the pie of homeland defense to hunters, but let’s move on.)
However, just because everyone had similar thoughts, it did not necessarily mean that it was effective.
“Has there been no results yet from the Agency for Defense Development? Giving magical effects to bullets or rifles. How long has it been since you submitted the request, and there has been no news yet? What are those bastards doing in the safety of the rear, eating up their wages while our children die? What are you doing? Ha… , Fuck…”
“… So far, there doesn’t seem to be any significant results. Looking at the fact that the United States, which is investing several times more in this field than us, is not seeing any particular results, it seems that the direction was wrong from the beginning… Or, it seems like we need a magician or alchemist who specializes in enchantment at a much higher level than we thought…”
“Ha, oh my… , When that damn ghost monster appears, you have to run away like you’re dying, so the morale of the front-line soldiers and officers is incredible. A soldier. Is this such a fucking thing that we have to give up our country’s sacred territory and run away? I can’t even fight properly. This is me so far… , It’s not the war I was thinking of… It would be better for the North Korean army to push in. What the fuck…”
“Commander. As expected, we tend to form a separate special unit using magic items or artifacts released on the market…”
“Hey, what did I just say? Then what is the difference between us and the group called Hunters, or the recently created special forces specializing in monsters?”
“…”
“And you’re saying this because you don’t know that all the magic items and artifacts released on the market are cold weapons, and their length and weight are also uneven? And they say that artifacts also obscure people. Some people can use it and some people can’t. And what is the price? Are you going to buy it with your own money? They say something small is worth hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, and something useful is said to be worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.”
“… Sorry. It was a mistake.”
“… Okay. Good night. Let’s say the price is okay. Even if it’s expensive, if it’s useful, you should buy it. There are over 10 billion tanks these days. There’s nothing I can’t live with. My subordinates are dying, so I have to make a fuss to the President, the National Assembly, and the Chief of Staff to buy it quickly. … But then, are you going to fight with a sword now? Would you be able to tell the kids under you who were drafted in for conscription to give them swords and shields and charge them at the ghost monster that killed dozens and hundreds of people? “If you buy me a magic sword, that’s not everything.”
“That… , I’m sorry…”
“Should we give up all the shooting techniques and tactics we’ve been training our kids with so far and just learn swordsmanship from the beginning? Do you want to teach? Do you know how to use a sword or a shield? Do you know how many years it takes to properly use a sword and shield? “Is that going to happen to the kids who serve 1 year and 6 months under the conscription system?”
“…”
“And you have to learn new cold weapon tactics first. In that case, it would be better to leave it to civilian hunters or special forces specializing in monsters. They’re survivors of the tower trials and all, so they’ve only been wielding swords and spears inside the tower for decades. … Ha, fuck. Please contact the Agency for Defense Development using my name. What is going on now? “How far have research achievements come?”
“Yes, I understand. “General.”
By their standards, all the generals around the world were being completely manipulated by ghost monsters, spirit monsters, monsters with special shields, etc., And were only retreating and retreating.
But do they also see some light?
By their standards, an ‘effective weapon’ that was ‘discovered’ in a small East Asian country called Korea, can be used by ordinary humans, is effective against monsters that ordinary weapons do not work on, and works in a very familiar way called ‘explosion’. It was discovered.
Sniff. This smells like gunpowder, something familiar to modern military generals.
“… This, this. Masaka… Sonna…”
“Ah… , God has not abandoned us.”
The military generals did not expect much during this critical and troubling time.
They simply see and think that it must be a ‘weapon that ordinary people can use with appropriate training (capable of becoming a general force)’, and that the cost is at an appropriate level, so it can be deployed in appropriate quantities to the general military, making ‘military supply’ possible. Above all, the performance (ROC) of the weapon system must satisfy the military requirements.
To put this simply in a nutshell, it would be possible to ‘formatize’ a modern military.
“Oh oh… , These are… This ‘explosion potion’ and ‘gas potion’… “What if I put this into a separate container, or use it as a high explosive or gas weapon instead?”
“Like diluting a healing potion. What if this can also be diluted?”
“This… , I guess it will work… ?” (Formalization)
“If you really ask me, it’s similar to a high-explosive grenade or a poison gas bomb, right? But it’s effective against monsters that regular weapons don’t work on?”
“If it is a weapon similar to a bomb or poison gas… “There’s no need to go through any additional training, right?”
“Yes. Power generation is possible immediately. According to the explanation, it can be thrown as a long-distance projectile, so the possibility of soldiers getting hurt will be greatly reduced… First, buy a few for testing purposes, conduct research “Extract all the data, and deploy experiments for actual use…”
The ‘explosion potion’ and ‘gas potion’ listed on Hunter Auction, which has recently created a nationally controversial issue, attracted the attention of military generals.
And the reliability of this weapon is confirmed by the fact that overseas hunter YouTubers such as early adopters are ordering it in advance, using it, and posting reviews of actual use.
This was something very natural and familiar to military generals who had learned that superior weapon systems and smooth supply were the lifeblood of a modern army.
Then, military generals around the world hugged each other’s shoulders and felt as if the world was finally returning to normal.
(In reality, the smelly men did not embrace each other. That is what they said.)
This was accepted as a sign that the philosophy of returning to the dead is working even in this world where monsters appear.
So how can you not be happy?
As a result, defense ministries around the world pressed the purchase button on ‘Explosion Potion’ and ‘Gas Potion’ posted on Hunter Auction.
– All items sold out –
-Sorry. All items have just sold out. –
– Sorry. All items have just sold out. –
“… What? … Why? Why sold out?”
“Hey, didn’t you say you could definitely survive? So, I told you to order quickly.”
“… Who on earth did it all at once? Who gives this kind of money… Wait, the guy who just bought it all posted a thumbs up review before he even received it? Are you kidding us for buying it all now? Where to buy… , … United States Army Materiel Command. Ugh…”
“…”
