Chapter 371 – [Mars SimCity Build It]
On the one hand, the meeting room where prominent force users or military officials from each country gathered was quite noisy.
It was a place where three master users and one grand master gathered. Even if you search the history of the last 20 years since the appearance of Force users, this has not happened.
“I know the information about the destruction of the base in China, but it would be better to hear it from your own mouth. Mr. Baekri?”
“Yes”
First of all, information on dealing with hostile species is basically shared regardless of national power. Because antagonistic species are enemies of mankind.
Of course, there are times when they keep it secret, such as Bleeder’s appearance in Russia, but this was not the case.
“The base in China was destroyed, but that doesn’t mean the size or the number of troops was small. It’s just…”
You can’t break through with the regular method. The support of the army was useless, and the opponent who used humane tactics and simple tactics was very difficult.
However, such information had already been obtained in Russia. The important thing was after entering the center of their base.
“Currently, the otherworlder who is in command of the enemy species… I heard that he has the name Gar-Rekal in the information received from the United States, but in the temple at the center of the base, his alter ego will be able to work.”
“How strong is the force?”
“……Me and Hibiki-san could do nothing but waste time.”
It’s like killing morale, but if you don’t judge thoroughly objectively, you don’t know how many people will die because of it. Bailey had no choice but to answer honestly.
A commotion breaks out in the conference room. Hibiki was also an axis that was not weak among the master users, and Baekri is currently the only grand master.
The fact that even though the two worked together, they could only waste time, was proof that the opponent was strong.
“Moreover, he had a considerable handicap. He couldn’t move, and he killed humanoids with his own hands, so he only dealt with him.”
“Hmm……”
Someone made a noise The situation was so hopeless.
Russia’s stronghold was larger than China’s. No, it was expanded by consuming and grinding resources and humans. I didn’t even want to imagine how many people were there.
Even the size of the dome reached 100 kilometers in diameter. It is a gigantic size that is several times the base of China.
“There’s no guarantee that the same method as last time will work, but there aren’t many effective methods other than that. So…”
“Can I ask you something before that?”
Italy’s representative, Adriana, stopped Baekri from speaking.
“I know that this situation is not light. That’s why I don’t think the Great Demon King will overlook it. But do you know why they didn’t move and instead disappeared?”
“That…….”
It was Baekri’s wrath.
The culprit that caused this situation. The reason why the Great Demon Kings can’t save them from threats from another dimension because they can’t use their hands to step back.
“Looking at that face, I don’t think you know.”
Adriana did not rush. She just waited until Baek-li spoke her tongue.
That kind of pressure rather weighed on Baekri. However, it was a story that could not be avoided and should be known someday.
“……As a Grand Master, I requested the Great Demon King to suspend judgment with the authority entrusted to me by the administrator, that is, by God.”
“A request for suspension of judgment?”
“Yes, it is such a request that the Great Demon King completely withdraw from the Earth without judgment. That is why the enemy species that did not appear after the Great Demon King descended and invaded after they left.”
Eventually, the Great Demon King left the Earth. Even the worst of the Earth-born.
The Great Demon Kings could no longer lay their hands on this earth. Even Utopia, who has a bad temper and likes to act as he pleases, can’t use his hands in front of that oath.
……. No, since Utopia came out in the first place, she did everything she wanted to do.
“The request for suspension of judgment is such an oath that the Great Demon King will not touch the earth any more, but on the contrary, even when the earth is threatened.”
“No, how did you make that decision by yourself?”
“…….Yes”
“Her!!!”
There were people who couldn’t speak because they were dumbfounded. The representative of the force user from France shook his head and criticized Baekri.
All the words and actions of the people and condemnation come flying as blades that pierce the 100 li. And that was the result Baek-ri had to accept.
Just as Baekli saved Saladin and he came here to repay the favor, on the contrary, accepting the price for the sins Baekli committed is just the right cause and effect.
When people’s voices gradually grew louder, someone stepped up to defend Baekri.
Coo!!!
A heavy impact shook the ground. Britain’s master user, William, drew people’s attention by stamping the ground with the tip of his shield.
“I’m criticizing Mr. Baekri, but there are a lot of people who are quite shameless among them.”
“But Sir Gawain! Didn’t you say that you judged such an important matter alone without national debate?”
“Then what’s the difference? A country that has been judged and a country that has not.
“Who is responsible for the people who die due to the invasion of the enemy species? It is natural that he is responsible!”
“Anyway, it is the enemy species who are responsible for the death of humans by the enemy species. Even before the Great Demon King descended, humans fought against the enemy species and sacrificed themselves.”
Baekri and William look alike, but they are different.
If Baek-li had intervened in that fight and had an altercation, he would have been pushed away without even being able to say what he wanted to say. But William was accustomed to refuting.
“And as a result, if we defeat them, that’s it. We’ve always been like that, and that’s why we will never lose. If the day comes when we win over them, Baek-ri’s choice is the wrong answer, but it will be the one that is closer to the correct answer than anyone else.” No see”
“As a result, the wrong answer does not change”
“Well, if you want to argue about that, shouldn’t you put your hand on your heart first and think about it?”
“What did you say now?”
“I asked if you are confident that your homeland will be acquitted in the Great Demon King’s judgment, the French representative.”
“That………”
Who’s big! And let out an uncomfortable cough.
There are many delegates from European countries in this position, and the past of the majority of European countries is not very good.
“Even in my country, England, there are still empty people who still think of it as a colonial empire, let alone reflect on the colonial issues committed in the past. I don’t think it will survive.”
“This person!!!”
“If France had done more than England, it would not have been less.”
The Great Demon King’s judgment also looked at the past, but the important thing was the present.
Even though Germany had a shameful past as a Nazi, it was trying to reflect on itself. Even if the issue of compensation is second, if there is a will to fix it, the Great Demon King will value it and judge it.
But Britain and France are the exact opposite. The public enemy of the Nazis appeared and was buried, but the crimes they committed were not defeated by the Nazis. Why did leader’s Gandhi become famous and why did China’s Opium War break out?
“Let’s end this story here. If we keep talking, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
William winked at him, and Baekli nodded slightly in gratitude.
Defending Baekri is, on the one hand, an act of making enemies. That’s what he warned about last time. But I don’t know if it was his mind that helped me, or if it was because he really thought that Baek-ri was right.
However, the important thing now is not who is responsible for this situation, but how to solve it. If you ask for responsibility in a place to discuss it, there is no income at the end.
“Personally, I agree. Even now, greater damage occurs during the time we are talking. I wish I could tell a more beneficial story.”
Russia’s master user, Sophia, also stood up and stepped forward.
“My country has passed the judgment, but I will not argue about it now.
“That……..”
If someone has to condemn Baekri, it will only be possible for a country that has passed the referee.
Russia also passed the referee, although it was close. Furthermore, since the base was built in Russia, the damage was enormous, so if Baek-ri was to blame, she should be at the forefront, but she decided not to pursue it right away.
It’s never too late to think about that after work is over. Because she chose to prioritize her country over her personal feelings.
“………Thank you”
Baekli could only say thank you. I feel the lack of experience every time, but this was the first time I felt that even the bowl was lacking.
If he had been in the same situation as his opponent, would he have been able to suppress his anger and do what he had to do first?
At that time, on the contrary, even a hundred li would have been angry. They say it’s a reverse, but in the end it will be someone else.
“Then let’s start the briefing again”
Baekli slowly started talking again.
* * *
The long and short meeting time was over. After a short break, people started talking to each other.
Among them, there were two important issues. One was about attacking the Russian base, and the other was about Baekri’s choice.
The former is a common opinion, but the latter differs. Indeed, in order to determine whether Baek-ri was right or wrong, she needed to go through a lot of discussion.
“Wait, are you okay?”
“Ah yes”
Italy’s representative, Adriana, spoke to Baekri. With the excuse of having a cup of coffee separately, the two of them got out of the seat and drank some coffee with an instant coffee mix.
……Let’s not ask why there are familiar sticks and the company’s coffee mix in the middle of Russia. Come to think of it, lunchbox ramen is also well advanced in Russia, so it wouldn’t be strange if there was something like coffee.
The sweet and familiar taste of coffee melts in your mouth and makes you feel a little clearer.
“…I’m sorry about what happened earlier. I think I asked a question a little hastily.”
“What’s going on…Ah, that’s what you mean.”
It was she who asked Baek-ri about the whereabouts of the Great Demon King in her meeting room. That’s why there was a commotion.
“It was something that will be known someday anyway. Don’t worry about it because it’s something I have to endure.”
“I’m just… No, I’m sorry”
Looking like she was about to ask something, she hesitated and stopped her words.
It was Adriana who asked the question that would make her back uncomfortable, but she didn’t ask her out of spite. Only questions and curiosity were the main emotions.
At times like this, she likes Baekri’s personality. When she knows that she has no ill will toward her partner, she pours out her heart only when it’s not a very bad thing. On the one hand, she’s kind, but she’s still a good person to make friends with.
She said, “Does she have any other reason for asking?”
“……I wanted to ask you a few questions about the worst. But the situation isn’t going well.”
“Hyung? Oh, do you know him?”
“I’ve never met you”
“Uh…….”
The words were a bit ambiguous. If I hadn’t met her, I wouldn’t have met her.
“When his face was first revealed to the public, I felt quite strange. It was definitely an Asian face I had never seen before, and his eyes were just a bit bad, but he wasn’t handsome, but the feeling of seeing him somewhere didn’t disappear from my heart.”
“……A little? Those eyes?”
“There are a lot of men around me who have a rough impression, so I’m pretty at that level.”
“What did you do…”
“It’s not an honorable thing”
Her nationality is Italy, and Italy had a reputation for dishonorable things.
A criminal organization often associated with the Yakuza and the Triads. It was the mafia
“Oh, um…”
“There’s no need to freak out that much. It’s been a while since I washed my hands. And if you’re a current mafia, you wouldn’t even be able to come to a place like this in the first place.”
“Ah, that’s right”
“It’s all an old story. After all, it’s a family that doesn’t even exist anymore.”
She was the boss of a famous Italian mafia. The reason she is in past tense is that the organization is no longer left in the world.
With the emergence of hostile species and the appearance of force users that led to it, those who were seeking her place quickly recruited force users and jumped on the bandwagon in a chaotic era, and she also faced a threat to her life there.
The only thing that survived was that at that time, she awakened as a force user, ambushed and killed the assassins and organized the collapsed organization as soon as it collapsed, and decided to work as a force user in a legal transaction with the Italian government.
Force user crime, if it is related to a criminal organization, the aggravated punishment is so great that life imprisonment comes out, but those days were the Great Depression.
Even the Italian government wanted a force user capable enough to have a young girl assassinate an adult male force user as soon as he woke up.
“Then those eyes were then…?”
“Ah, this is from a long time ago. It’s the wounds from when my parents died.”
“It was 20 years ago during the Great Depression. Even then, how old were mob bosses?!”
“About 12 or 13 years old”
“Hey hee hee profit?!”
Baekli was frightened. That scared her more than when she heard that she was an ex-mafia.
