Chapter 483 – Bioengineering Lab

Chapter 483 Bioengineering Lab

“… One day, it happened when Crown Prince Anjou Bernstein visited Marikamu.
He toured the country on behalf of the Demon King and supervised work, and was exhausted from fatigue.
So, I went into the mysterious garden to take a break, and I met Marianne, the ‘goddess of sunshine’, who was pregnant with the child of the emperor of the iron mask and was resting leisurely.

Recalling his beauty as a child, she welcomed the crown prince, but the crown prince saw her full and unknowingly threw off her arm.

[Let go!
How dare a human grab my arm!]

It seems that the jealousy and shyness peculiar to adolescence, or the fear that the half-human, half-horse descendants might stand on top of the demon king army, created a sense of resistance.
However, there was obviously a problem with her words and actions, and even hit her stomach in the process of shaking her off, causing Marianne to complain of her pain.

Day after day at the palace meeting, this matter went up and down, and the ministers of the empire and the ministers of the devil’s army, who visited the castle, engaged in a subtle war of nerves.

Upon hearing the news, Rumika, the 7th ‘invincible demon king’, the god of war, ran straight to the demon castle and started cleaning her room.
Crown Prince Ange, who saw this, stopped the demon king and asked what he was doing, and the demon king replied.

[When the Crown Prince was young, his mother was busy with public affairs, so she often entrusted the Crown Prince to Empress Taeyang, and the Crown Prince would fall asleep in her arms.
Also, when this mother was not blessed and her breasts did not come out, she gave her breast to the crown prince, so the crown prince’s favor toward her was the same as that of her mother.
However, since the Crown Prince did not know her grace and treated her harshly until now, would she treat her mother well when she grew up?
As soon as I inherit the throne, I will also be thrown away, so I am preparing to go out on my own in advance.]

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince knelt down in front of the Demon King and wept and apologized.

So, Crown Prince Ange returned to the capital, Marie Camus, knelt down on her knees, bowed her head, and apologized with her tears, and the goddess of sunshine jumped out in her bare feet, embraced him, and raised him up.
It was only then that the ministers of the Empire and the Demon King’s Army stopped arguing with each other and reconciled.

Of course, knowing this fact, the Iron Mask Emperor and the Moon Empress, who were returning to Marikamyu with a club from afar to break the crown prince’s leg, went to tour the empire again.

======

For Catherine, sad news poured in every day.

“The defenses in front of Oak Gate have been breached!
The army descending through the central road appears to be the main force of the enemy!”

“Part of the enemy is heading northeast and is encircling and annihilating our allies on the Eastern Front!
Duke Dupre’s troops crossed the frozen river and succeeded in crossing the river!”

“Hwan’s Hwarang troops have crossed the western frontier!
Our troops are pursuing us, but our opponents are too mobile to pursue them!
Besides, the western region was once devastated by Genocider Khan, and the Zira defense line has collapsed, so…
The enemy is already emerging from the depths!”

“Our squads left the watchtower and tried to join us, but they are being defeated one by one by the enemy Royal Griffon Riders!”

“Report!
Black dragons have appeared at our supply points, burning our soldiers and stealing our supplies!”

I never thought I would do such a high-speed maneuver in this cold midwinter.
Besides, I didn’t even know that it could be realized.

“There is a reason for advancing from the cold north to the warm south.
It’s faster, and there’s more to be gained.”

Slurp.

Upon hearing the news, Prince Fernando drank tea leisurely.

“What are you so carefree about?!
Isn’t the enemy coming down?
Did you say that you are in a foreign country right now?”

Catherine hurled annoyed comments, but Fernando was unfazed.

“Please.
I was just admiring it.”

Slurp.

“Don’t worry too much.
There are 100,000 troops gathered near the capital, and the capital is a heavenly fortress.
It is surrounded by mountains to the north, and there are castles big and small beyond that.”

“You underestimate the enemy’s siege capabilities.
Iron Mask is the one who captured countless allied strongholds remaining in occupied territory in just a few months.
He is cruel and cunning.”

“I know.
So we have to be more cruel and cunning.
First, build a realistic line of defense.”

“A realistic line of defense?”

“Let’s leave the already collapsed West alone and build a defensive line around Belzeburg.”

“You just want to give up the territory?”

“It’s about giving space, buying time.
Even those who disagreed with the attack will agree with the defense.
My family, my land, and my family are being encroached upon.
And recruiting mercenaries.
Even in other countries.
With the Emperor’s help, it’s possible.”

“Hmm…”

Chuck.

“The road from Jungang-ro to the castle is a series of hills.
So when they escaped here, they went round to the eastern region.
Among the regions in the middle, this place, Belseburg, is quite rugged.
After defeating the military to this place, I will advance to this place by driving the troops of the capital.
Fields captured by the enemy cannot be sown in the spring.
With Operation Blue Night, the enemy will starve, and we will be full.”

“…”

“Majesty?
Why?”

A facial expression that has something in mind.

‘There is a bioengineering laboratory near there guarded by Director Ishii…’

I can’t give up the place that mass-produces the tentacle monsters.
But.

‘It’s deep in the mountains, so it won’t go unnoticed?’

Biological testing is top secret.
You could lose all the cause of the holy war, or you could be criticized by all allies and Bunbong-guk.
I cannot share that information with Prince Fernando.

“It’s nothing.
Build your defenses as planned.”

‘There’s an enemy right in front of you, but you don’t have the energy to go all the way to the mountains to search for them.
It will be fine.’

***

Tring-.

[There is a level 4 boss nearby.]

“What is this?”

The system was sending messages.

[The player must defeat the boss of each stage to clear the scenario.]

[The current player ‘Kamu Bernstein’ has defeated the 2nd and 3rd level bosses except for the 1st level boss.
(Step 2 Nuvacane, Step 3 Phillip)]

[Clear the scenario and obtain the ‘Wish Coupon that grants anything’ provided to players!]

It’s a wish that grants anything…
What a dubious price indeed.
Usually, the main characters in fairy tales often end up wanting something like that.

But aside from ‘clearing the scenario as a player’, isn’t it that there are powerful enemies around here?

Need to check

“Yes yes.
There are powerful enemies around here.
Conduct scouting carefully and gather information.”

“Yes, General~”

If it’s an agent under Nene’s espionage officer, he’ll come back with information right away.

“General.
Enemies are moving towards Belseburg.
It looks like they will probably build a defense line there.”

“This.
Tell Balak to march quickly!
It is a terrain where it is difficult to advance to each other.
We will have to capture it first, and camp facing Heisenberg!”

The place where I had a showdown with Alex Willentine before.
And where my corps commander career began brilliantly.
The geography is well known.

“We also build a defensive line, and wait for the joining of the allied forces divided between the East and the West.
If you penetrate here, it is the shortest route to the Amity Castle, and you can easily maintain it by using the hills as an allied supply.”

I used Marikamyu and Angie Camus to load up on supplies, but it is unknown whether it will be maintained until the end of the war with just that.
Plus, you might need items you didn’t bring.
The supply line is like a lifeline.

So while we faced the enemy, set up camp, and put on the fence, Nene’s spy arrived.

“General.
Rumor has it that there is a ‘bioengineering laboratory’ near here.”

“A bioengineering lab?”

“Yes.
Not only demons, beasts, giants, etc., But also Orientals and even Amitiers were taken for biological experiments.”

“Ah… !”

Okay.
I have also encountered
Around the time I ran into Alberic on my way back after reuniting with Nene.
He saved an oriental man named Park Jeong-woo, and with that connection he went to Cheonghae-jin and made an alliance and returned.
At that time, Alberic was transporting prisoners in a wagon.

“I brought in someone who knows a lot about him.”

“Who?”

“Bring it.”

As Nene instructed, the one who came in tied with a rope was…

“Julian?”

A human knight who once courted Anne, Stella’s unrequited love.
He had testified about living experiments.

“Kuh-kuh-kuh, I never thought I’d come back here…”

“If you tell me everything you know, I will give you a chance to join our army and regain your honor.”

“You want me to join the Demon King’s Army?
Heh
I wonder if my honor will ever be restored by being involved in this war.”

“We heard intelligence that there is a bioengineering lab nearby.
If you tell me about it, I’ll pay you accordingly.
You wouldn’t be comfortable living in captivity, would you?”

At those words, the knight’s expression crumpled.

“… I have a lot of bad memories.
I was in charge of supplying logs there.”

“Log?
Shouldn’t we leave that to the soldiers and get supplies nearby?”

“I am not talking about wood.
I mean a person or an intelligence.”

“!”

“Test subjects to be used for biological experiments.
Call it a log.”

“What do you use it for?”

“The seed of the God of Destruction, which you know very well.
We are doing research to culture the cells.”

Oh my god.
Countless tentacle monsters that Marquis John shot down with a catapult during the Hydas River Battle.
When Philip died, the monsters he created.
That’s all they’re making here?

“General…”

Nene’s serious eyes.
Aside from the delivery of the system, it is a strategic goal that must be found and eliminated even for the sake of our military.
There’s probably a level 4 boss in that facility.

“You found something great.
Yes, do you know where it is?”

“The research center has several entrances and opens and closes them as needed.
Show me the map, and I’ll point out a guess for the entrance.”

“Ruler.”

“Here, here, and this is the doorway I saw when I delivered.”

“Good.
Award.”

Pajijijijijijik!

“Turn it off?!”

Knead the brain

“Now, tell me about the lie in what you just said.”

In order to trust, cross-validation with hypnosis is essential.

“It is all true.”

“I’m glad.
I will hypnotize this guy into obedience, so let her join Stella-kun later.”

“Yes.”

“Also, information about the ‘Seed of the God of Destruction’ must not be handed over to anyone or leaked anywhere.
It searches around that mountain, grasps all entrances, and attacks at once.
Select soldiers with clear identities and have many families, and form an entry unit.”

“Yes~!”

Nene smiles, pretends, and salutes.
He barely took his eyes off his bouncing chest and moved briskly.

***

“Chief, there are demon army soldiers coming and going outside.”

“Kiki kick.
Katherine, that cunning thing must have been driven enough.”

Ishii Shiro listened to the report while looking at the flask with only one corner of her mouth smiling.

“It’s unlikely you’ll find it deep in the mountains, but too many movements have been spotted near the lab lately.
What should I do?”

“Close all entrances and camouflage.
Are the guards armed?”

“Yes.
But no matter how few, tens of thousands.
Even considering the geographic advantage, in case…”

“Are you okay.”

“Yes?”

“It’s okay.
It’s cha cha~!”

Director Ishii looked at the brains soaked in the test solution and finally covered his back.
Dark eyes from long hours of research, wrinkles on his forehead, nails that fell out and melted here and there from contact with the solution, and his characteristic buck teeth make him look even more eccentric.

The hunched back made her already small physique look even dwarfed, and the unsuitable white gown barely covered it.

“If they knew what we were building, they would come rushing in.
Is not it?”

“That’s right.
So hurry up and solidify your defenses…”

“That’s right.
That’s right…”

Research Director Ishii licked his tongue with his lips.
The person reporting this made his spine stiff at the sight.

“The more you come, the better.
In the language of the Shadow Islands, did you say “Multiple benefits”?
Haha!”

His black hair mixed with sparse white hair fluttered from side to side like pampas grass whenever he laughed.

“It is good to come.
Because there are too many test subjects.
I hope you come up with something useful.
For example… She is a woman with soft skin, or she is a rare species.”

The reporter shuddered and shuddered at his creepy laugh.

***

“I have finished figuring out the entrance.”

“Entrance unit omnipresentation has been completed.”

“During the entry, reinforcements will be coming from the nearby Hwarang unit.
It will fill the gaps in the entry force.”

“Duke Du Pre is on his way south, and Adolf, the Four Heavenly Kings who joined him, is running this way with his legionnaires.
We will be arriving soon.”

Everything is in order
Fighting under advantageous circumstances seems to be the first time since the start of the Second Fatherland Defense War.

“Good.
Let’s go soon.”

“General, are you really going to let that many people enter?”

Only 3,000 troops were recruited as entry units.
Of the 26,000 members of the 4 corps I lead (7,000 members in one corps are in full force, but they cannot be so ubiquitous now), 3,000 members in 3 battalions is a very large minus.

“It is such an important operation.
Killing isn’t everything, it’s encirclement and annihilation.
We have to make sure that no one, not even one research material, escapes.
In particular, everyone knows about the power of the tentacle monster, right?
Have you prepared all the Molotov cocktails?”

“It’s done.”

“You’re a little smarter now, Zach.
Ludvik, what about the fire mage?”

“They were placed by each centurion.”

“Have you prepared enough fire arrows?
Do you also place priests in the rear?”

“Of course.
Everything is currently being lined up.
Please go.”

I stood in front of the people who were hired on a special lease.

“Thank you guys for following me this far.
You must have witnessed enough of the terrifying tentacle monster from the Hidas River battle to the defense of the Demon Castle.”

Gulp.

The special task force members are salivating with tension.

“The goal of today’s operation is to attack and destroy the tentacle monster production facility.
In addition, all research materials will be discarded after review, so please do not touch them.
I will clean it up and destroy it.
Your mission will bring about the revenge of the wronged and the victory of our allies.
Specific missions are to be delivered by each unit commander.
Move according to the mission assigned to each centurion!”

“””Yes, General!”””

There is no shortage of preparation.
In any case, it would be enough if the main unit encamped under the mountain went up.
Labs at best.
If you pay attention to the small number of guards and tentacles, you will be able to penetrate without difficulty.

The only thing I care about is the level 4 boss.
So far, the boss’s strength has steadily decreased from level 1 to level 3, so wouldn’t the level 4 boss only have enough impact to deliver the message the system wants to show?

Until then, I thought so.

“Depart!”
