I Alone Going To The Tower

Time passed quickly, and it was finally time for a business trip.

Jeong Jeong-jin drove me to Incheon Airport.

"Hey, are you really okay? There's a meeting in the morning, so..."

Jeong Seo-jin, who took the steering wheel, smiled quietly.

"It's the first overseas dispatch of a hunter's career, shouldn't I have to see him off?"

"I'll see your face tomorrow evening anyway."

"Haha, that's right."

Thanks to the opening of the 5th floor, I feel at ease because I can come and go to Korea at any time. I feel like I'm going to a vacation, not an overseas trip.

"Thanks for the ride."

"Go home safely."

"Don't come out and go as soon as the signal changes. Should I attend the morning meeting?"

"Okay."

That was then.

"Master!"

"CEO Kim! Here it is!"

When he turned his head, he saw a group of people waving from behind the black van. It was a 4th floor team.

"Have a good trip!"

I was surprised. Why are these people there? I knew that the dungeon was scheduled for today.

"It looks like you stopped by to say hello."

Jeong Jeong-jin said. I smiled and waved to them. Garam managers

'Come on, come on, okay? It's late, so let's get going!' and a squeaking sound was heard.

'Because I can't dry it.'

After breaking up with Jeong Jeong-jin, I took my travel suitcase and entered Incheon Airport.

It's been a while since I've been to the airport. Thousands of tourists were roaming around. The lively atmosphere unique to the airport makes me excited for nothing.

'Where did Hong-yeon come from?'

I turned on her smartphone and entered a message to send to her.

[Uh?]

"This is it."

Startled by the voice, I turned around and saw Hong-yeon approaching behind me.

She wore black skinny jeans that revealed her lines, a slim white shirt and a black one-button jacket.

Perhaps to avoid people's gaze, she wears fashion glasses, and her red hair flows like waves under her pressed modern fedora.

Maybe because of her black outfit, her red hair looked even more prominent today.

“These people are the non-combat mage team that seniors are raising, right?”

"That's right."

Through the window, she watched as the 4th-floor team's van left.

"……awesome."

"what?"

"How do you feel when you reach your goal by trying with all your might and heart to break it down?"

There was a reason she looked at her 4th floor team with her strange eyes. It was impossible for her to achieve that kind of achievement. In other words, it is a talent that goes beyond the limit.

“Of course, I feel bad.”

I grinned and retorted.

"Go."

"Yeah."

"Uh, are you giving me that coffee?"

"It's mine!"

We didn't have much time to spare, so we went straight to departure procedures.

"But why are you carrying so much luggage?"

I asked as I walked. She was walking proudly with two 28-inch suitcases in her hands.

"I don't know when I'll be back, but it's only natural to carry this kind of burden. Isn't it too small for seniors?"

I was carrying only one small and light suitcase.

"Huhu, even if it looks like this, everything is in here? Don't ask me for gochujang or ramen later."

"I think it will be full if I put a few clothes on, are there any of those?"

"Well then."

After completing the formalities, we boarded the plane straight away without any delay.

Airplane tickets are expensive these days.

Prior to the Overlay incident, the average Korean traveled abroad two or three times a year, but it is difficult these days.

An era in which plane crashes are not uncommon due to the existence of flying monsters. In fact, light airplanes have become extinct, and large airplanes are limited to domestic flights.

International law states that to cross the sea with passengers, it must be equipped with a mana engine, armor must be sufficient to withstand external attacks, and be accompanied by at least two hunters with intercepting abilities.

In addition to the captain and crew on the plane, and even life allowance. It is natural for the price of a flight to jump several times.

'I like free planes.'

The bottom line is that it's free, so it feels good.

The association gave me first class, not business class. I am a certified hunter in this taste.

'… … Replacing airplanes with warp gates will definitely pay off.'

It took a while to come up with a business idea, and as soon as I lay down, I fell asleep.

It took about 6 hours to reach the destination by direct flight. After a good night's sleep, we arrived at Jakarta Airport, Indonesia.

"Sir!"

As soon as I got off the plane, an officer in the military uniform of the Federation Army, who was waiting for me, approached me with a salute.

" Hunter Kim Yoo-shin, Hunter Hong Yeon. Are you correct?"

"Yep."

We presented the ballot certificate, and he grinned and nodded his head.

"It's an honor to have you. Come this way."

We boarded a magic helicopter at the heliport near the airport under the guidance of an executive.

The destination is a naval base built on an island in the Indian Ocean.

It took quite some time to move. While I was looking at the endless open sea from the helicopter, Hong Yeon said as she pulled the hem of my clothes.

"Senior! I see you there!"

"Five."

You can see the naval base out the window.

Since it was a core area covering the entire Indian Ocean, it was quite large, but the entire island was a military area.

After resting here, we will head straight to our destination, Tanzania.

"Welcome to Indian Ocean Naval Base!"

Fuck you!

chuck!

As soon as they got off the helicopter, tall Western soldiers saluted enthusiastically.

Certified hunters in Korea are also affiliated with the World Hunter Federation, and if they are level 3, their rank is quite high.

'It's crazy.'

From the heliport to the building we were going to, the soldiers of the Federation Army lined up and saluted. Is this what the scene looked like when the division commander visited his own unit? It was the first time I had received such a prosperous reception, so I was a little embarrassed.

On the other hand, Hong Yeon smiled brightly and accepted the soldiers' salutes one by one. It feels pretty familiar. We were greeted warmly and entered the Confederation Army's operating room.

"I was waiting! Kim Yoo-shin Hunter! Hong Yeon Hunter!"

A man who identified himself as Colonel Frederick shook hands. This person is in charge of this operation.

"I was surprised to hear that certified 3rd grade hunters came! They are such young and wonderful prospects! On behalf of the Federation, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Korea!"

"Thanks for the hospitality, Colonel Frederick."

"With the power of the two of you, the complete liberation of Africa would not be far away! It will be a great help for the Tanzanian front!"

Colonel Frederick was a man of great enthusiasm. His arms were shaking as we shook hands.

"High Mage Kim Yoo-shin! We pay tribute to the best young hunter who leads a new generation! Your magic is humanity's treasure and miracle!"

"Go, thank you."

You seem to know about me.

Next, Colonel Frederick shook hands with Yeon Hong.

"Hunter Hong! It's an honor to work with her! I've been told she's the younger brother of her great hero, Hunter Hong Yul. Anyone living in her age owes her something!"

Frederick clenched his fist.

"Where are the borders and borders in the war between humans and monsters! Seeing these wonderful young people like you two warms my heart! All mankind must unite to face disaster! A world where our descendants can play freely. for!"

"Of course. We will do our best to help."

We said goodbye and sat down. The other officers who had stood still took their seats, and Colonel Frederick began to explain.

"There are also two hunters, so I'll explain the monsters we will fight in the future."

Frederick brought up the presentation screen he had prepared.

The monster we have to deal with is a race called 'Taves', which is a corrupt disease monster.

It is a cousin of the rat-man, a rat monster that walks on two legs, but its skin is not visible and it looks like rotten filth is constantly flowing down. Africa is now on the brink of destruction by these monsters.

According to Frederick, these are not from cracks or dungeons, but from monsters in the control area that have evolved to match the global environment.

Therefore, it has a characteristic that it cannot go out of its own territory.

Hong Yeon, who was listening to the explanation, asked a question.

"Are monsters that can't come out of the realm so dangerous?"

The question she raised was reasonable.

Control zones are neglected not only in Seoul but also in large cities in other developed countries, and no problem occurs except in special cases.

"The most intimidating feature of Tabes monsters is that they can freely expand their control area."

It is said that Tabeth monsters eat anything that has flesh, such as humans or animals, and spit vomit on the floor.

The vomit is called 'Living Field', and the photo Frederick showed me was terrifying. Something wriggling as if alive covered the ground.

“If you go to the field, you will see a lot, so I recommend not looking too closely.”

"Why?"

"I told you that the living field is vomit. Sometimes it is not digested properly, so human traces remain."

"……Aha."

It's terrifying just thinking about it. Seeing a person's torso, limbs, or even their face twitch, I think I could be plagued with nightmares for the rest of my life.

Anyway, this living field is a 'region' where they can move. It looks just like mud, but it's actually a kind of living monster.

If you set it on fire or spray it with a chemical such as defoliant, it will slowly shrink and disappear.

By removing this area, the radius of action of Tabeth monsters can be reduced.

"Most of Tanzania's territory is now covered with Living Fields. We must clear the disgusting realm they have occupied and reclaim the land of mankind!"

Then we moved on to the top monster viewing. Although there are various types of Tabes monsters, there are only three types of named monsters. Simply put, a name given by humans.

corps commander.

chieftain.

centurion.

These are the ones that should be eliminated first.

And the 'Brigade Commander Selegma' we have to deal with now dominates Tanzania.

In addition, explanations followed. They build a terrible biological facility called 'plant' on the living field, where monsters are constantly being created. It is a target that must be eliminated as the first priority.

"Then let me explain the operation!"

Frederick opened the map.

"Our military's mission this time is an assault! The purpose is to open up the stable port 'Kisowa' so that the navy and food can come in."

Me and Hongyeon nodded at the same time.

"Currently, 70% of Kisowa is encroached on the Living Field, and monsters are charging into Kisowa downtown. And plants have been found at the four points indicated on the current map."

Frederick puts A, B, C, and D markers on the map.

"Okay, once the air force gets air supremacy! We'll use bombers right away to reduce the number of monsters rushing into the city!"

Frederick was unobstructed. He explained in a thrilling manner as he knocked over the long-term horses spread out on the map.

"After the bombing, two transport planes provide additional troops to Kiso, downtown and key defense points to further strengthen the defense. After that, our commandos will attack Plants C and D! Then the monsters will move like this to protect the plant!"(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

Frederick moved up the position of the long-term horse, which means monsters.

"But all of this is cheating! After grabbing their attention with bombing and manoeuvring! Our transport team drops the most deadly bombs on monsters at point A!"

"what is that?"

"Of course!"

Frederick opened his eyes and pointed at us.

"It is you! The saviors of mankind! Two certified 3rd-level hunters!"

"……haha."

"Ah! The news that a new 3rd-level hunter has arrived on the battlefield in Tanzania will make even corps commander Selegma tremble! The two hunters ask you to destroy Plant A and advance to the nearby Plant B!"

It wasn't an overkill strategy.

Rather than putting us on a limb, they take the risk on their own, giving the Hunter time to move.

"There is information that Chief Cheon is guarding Plant B himself! If so, after destroying Plant A, watch the situation, and when our commando team joins, let's go together!

“How many ranks is Chief Cheon?”

"It depends on the individual, but it is usually estimated to be around rank 6."

that's what

I think I can grab it without too much trouble even if only one of the two moves is me or Hongyeon.

"If all the plants are destroyed as planned and even the corps commander dies, the monsters will have no choice but to retreat! We will secure Kisowa and bring the two of you to the Tanzania headquarters! After that, if you move according to the Tanzania headquarters' instructions, you will have no choice but to retreat. There are other dispatched hunters stationed there besides the two of you, so you will be able to live comfortably."

We nodded.

"It's not difficult."

"I'll do it."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Colonel Frederick once again took our hand and shook our hand.

"Actually, I know. The fact that the hunters dispatched overseas don't feel so good! It must have come because they were ordered by the country and the company. Dealing with rift monsters in the city and dealing with monster corps at the forefront of humanity Heaven and earth difference! It must be difficult. It must be painful! But!"

he opens his eyes

"Even if the Hunter doesn't come, our Alliance Army and the Citizens' Army fight for their lives every day! Waiting eagerly for the Hunter to come, we endure day by day with that hope!"

“……”

"They are certified level 3, and I heard that overseas dispatched careers are a prerequisite to becoming certified level 2. But I think differently."

He jumps up from his seat and spreads his arms out to the map of Tanzania.

"On a battlefield like this!"

This time, he pointed to the screen where the Living Field was visible.

"Because I've had this kind of experience! I'm able to become a certified second-class person!"

Colonel Frederick, whose face turned red from excitement, looked at us with a more serious expression.

"I sincerely hope that our Tanzanian Federation Army will leave a mark on the great careers of these two hunters!"

Ooh... … .

nice guy There are soldiers who are united with such a sense of duty and mission.

"Leave it to me!"

As if influenced by his determination, Hong Yeon said with twinkling eyes.

"For sure, we will liberate Africa."

The executives who were sitting in their seats could not stand it and got up and poured out fierce cheers and applause. So was Frederick.

'… … It's crazy tension. This neighborhood.'
