77 – Bet 500,000 won with 80 billion dice
A fighter plane flying across the sky.
On the surface, he is on a ‘reconnaissance mission’ and is moving toward the gathering place of the Abyss in Ingun.
Seeing this, Glass, the pilot of this fighter, was showing a slightly uneasy expression.
‘Ummm.. How can I say it.. It’s been a while since I’ve operated only one fighter, so I feel like I’m playing a shooting game.. I’m starting with 5 lives…’
Glass skillfully maneuvers a single fighter launched under the pretext of a test.
However, apart from the proficiency and taste, she was carrying a considerable burden on the current situation.
No matter how much it was given free of charge, considering the fact that money was not rotten in the military and the price of an airplane was enormous, I couldn’t help but feel the pressure to produce appropriate results.
In particular, from the perspective of a mercenary who is not in the regular army, it is inevitable to feel like borrowing someone else’s property, so blowing it up in vain is something that must be avoided.
‘Yes, but… can it really work out? I’m very anxious.’
Although she hadn’t been able to handle airplanes for a long time after being discharged, she was nonetheless proud of her skills as a former French air force.
However.. no matter how much she is, the aircraft return rate cannot exceed 50% against the crazy anti-aircraft fire of the Abyss.
Literally, it was a normal level, but I thought to myself that it was not a very transcendental state.
‘The survival rate will go up a little bit as it is a situation where only one aircraft is operated, not several simultaneously. ..’
Speaking of a 60% return rate, it literally means that there is a high chance of being shot down if you don’t have enough luck.
From that point of view, what Glass is doing right now can literally be said to be a reckless act that can be seen as just abandoning an expensive aircraft.
However, Glass, who obeyed these orders without muttering, had one belief.
It is that the person who ordered this work was none other than Lieutenant Jinhyeon Lee.
As the matter was ordered by a person who had never failed so far, Glass was carrying out the mission with confidence in the order, apart from anxiety.
-“In a little while, we will rush into the Abyss assembly point. I would like to ask you to practice well as you have practiced several times beforehand.”-
“Yes, leave it to me, Aide.”
Literally, I have trust, but something is very insecure..
In a situation where the word half-believable fit perfectly, Glass began to focus all his attention on the screen seen through the camera.
Countless black waves began to come into view.
The moment he arrived at the gathering place of the Abyss, Glass’ expression began to change into that of a cold-hearted soldier.

Temporary Headquarters Situation Room.
A place where you normally keep an eye on the vast battlefield and take breathless command in response to ever-changing situations.
However, at this moment, the adjutants gathered there were staring at a single fighter with a little concern, doubt, and even more expectations.
‘What the hell are you trying to do with just one fighter?’
‘If it’s a simple test flight, wouldn’t it be necessary to go all the way to the place where the Abyss are crowded?’
‘It looks like they’re trying to confirm something…but what?’
Taking advantage of the moment when the wires were in a lull,
This is where the Air Force adjutants who handed over the aircraft gathered in one place.
At this moment, they began to feel a deep curiosity about what that one fighter would look like, or whether they would be able to leave it and come back alive.
“First of all, since my older sister said it, I gave it away as a lively guy, but… will it be okay? Even so, it would be the first time dealing with anti-aircraft power.”
Whatever the case may be, the 28th Guild, which Jinhyeon Lee was in charge of, is still an army.
Even if you are an expert in ground warfare, you will have no experience in air warfare, so it was taken into account that there will be some clumsiness.
However, in relation to this, the person who can be said to be the one who led this ‘work’.
Adjutant Song Dana shook her head slowly in response to her junior’s words and spoke in a firm tone.
“No… I don’t think it’s that easy.”
“yes?”
Her words are more confident than I thought.
As a result, the faces of the other lieutenants began to show a little curiosity, and Deputy Dana spoke to them in a calm voice.
“I saw it. What kind of face did the adjutant have when he first proposed this job? Although I was a little surprised and somewhat suspicious of the sudden great favor, there was no feeling of dwindling or esoteric feeling in it. Rather… it reminded me of an expression as if I had been waiting for this moment for a long time.”
“then..”
“Umm… I’ve been waiting for you…”
“What have you been waiting for?”
“I don’t know about that either. maybe we’ll find out soon Maybe it’s really simple reconnaissance, but I don’t think it’s going to be that simple.”
The adjutants begin to show a slightly different atmosphere at the words of their senior and their de facto leader, Deputy Dana. Regarding this, Deputy Dana showed a light smile on her lips, and then, in such an atmosphere, the female adjutant with a slightly younger appearance spoke in a voice of interest.
“Well.. Then, shall we make a bet on something like this? Will that plane come back intact or will it be shot down and fall? Bet 500,000 won each.”
“Wouldn’t that be fun too? I bet on falling. I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but that place is not another place, but a gathering place for the Abyss. If I try to do something like my sister said, I will take a risk, and even if I achieve my goal, it will be difficult to return. What do you think, Park Ha-eun?”
“Actually, my thoughts are similar, because if the fighter wants to return, it would be best to avoid contact with the Abyss as much as possible. Even the most competent pilots can’t dodge those fraudulent anti-aircraft shots.”
“Then.. let’s bet that the two of us can’t come back… what do you plan to do, sister?”
“Hmm… I mean…”
Dana seemed to be thinking about it for a moment.
And after a while, she said in a calm voice with a smile of anticipation on her lips.
“I’ll bet on ‘Come back’.”

Numerous Abyss clustered far above the ground.
When more groups gathered to a certain extent, they stood there to announce an attack, and they were roaming around the area as usual.
at that time..
“Kreurreuk?”
At some point, Abyss turned its head in response to a sudden loud sound.
There, a metal object flying through the sky was slowly approaching.
It is a flying weapon made by humans and has a fairly high speed, and is one of the guys who have been spewing death flames over the heads of the Abyss all along.
As a result, the Abyss sensed the instinctive signs of death and began to prepare defensive postures toward it in the sky.
The movement of the mid-level Abyss firing small Abyss into the sky.
Although it was a fairly high position, it was still a distance that the Abyss’ anti-aircraft fire could reach at that height.
Like that, even though it’s not exactly like a computer, it’s a guy who prepares to drop an object based on the senses unique to the Abyss.
And after a while…
“Kyaaagh!!”
With a roar, the guys flying small abyss toward the sky.
They soar with terrifying speed and power
Each one was playing the same role as a living bio-bullet.
If the angle is off, the Abyss’ anti-aircraft bombardment, which boasts unbelievable precision, corrects the direction on its own according to instinct.
Like that, the Abyss attacked, believing that they would be able to drop the flying enemy, just like they have done so far this time.
The anti-aircraft fire, which was almost impossible to avoid, began to rain heavily on a single fighter.
and..
