174 Tue-Third Force (9)
“When I first saw him on the Internet, I was honestly a little surprised.”
“Are you good at it?”
His nose twitched strangely. Is this how it feels to be praised by your child?
“No, I didn’t even have the slightest hesitation in his sword and murderous intentions.”
However, Cha Ji-yeon’s words were not a compliment for ignorance. Of course, what I just mentioned is something I agree with. If I hadn’t suppressed or induced it, the Earth would have been nothing more than a land to be devoured by Eve.
“But not having any hesitation means that there is no need to suffer that much and ultimately destroy yourself. It would be enough if you just set the direction in which that power was released. Rather, I envy that aspect.”
“…there will be a way. Only when a new opportunity comes along. When that happens, you have to make a choice.”
Wouldn’t it be okay to be a little greedy? It is not a lie to say that Cha Ji-yeon is difficult. Wouldn’t it be okay to make someone like Liam a sub-mind?
Even if Eve is not coveted, I am different. As a Hive Mind of the Legion, I always think of ways to become stronger.
“It’s been a pleasure meeting you after a long time. There’s a lot to see in the future… see you then.”
On the way, Cha Ji-yeon left for her room. I just stared at the back. First of all, I have to take a little chance. I feel sorry for her, but the moment of persuasion will be the moment she can’t stand it and collapse.

“The noise is mixed, so no matter how hard I strengthen my hearing, I can’t hear it well.”
At the time when two people who had not met in a long time were having a conversation, Eve, who was clinging to the door and holding her ear, returned her deformed ear to a normal human ear.
[After achieving unity, my obsession seems to have improved a bit]
“Unfortunately, he’s out of my grasp again.”
Eve grumbled and sat down on the chair. Thanks to standing on an equal footing within the corps, Eve was no longer able to unilaterally examine what Shinwoo was listening to and saying using the colony consciousness.
“Besides, she’s the woman who shook his heart even before the union. Just thinking about that time when he was restless makes me still annoyed.”
[He seems to be thinking in a completely different direction]
“Noisy. For now, there is something else important.”
Eve shook her head and focused her consciousness elsewhere this time. They are acting so leisurely here now, but in fact, the main camps beyond the universe were facing a simultaneous war.
‘First, I have to make a major reorganization.’
You can’t have everything. Eve, who understood the proposition, decided to take victory first, even if she was angry and angry.
First of all, the first decision was made to reorganize the ground forces.
‘Now that the enemies you’re dealing with are space troops, you have to go according to them.’
Even now, in the nests that operate semi-automatically as if entering a program, legionnaires are being produced non-stop. Eve remodeled and reorganized their form and power to suit their purpose and use.
The ground troops that had been produced until now were all fixed when they came out of the labyrinth and dealt with the wizards, except for a few more soldiers.
‘Sturdy armor that can withstand fire, and mobility.’
EVE designed the newly created medium-to-large mass-produced legionnaires for the space force, which specializes in long-distance firepower warfare.
Naturally, the shape was also fixed as a crustacean, an insect, or a quadrupedal beast to save mobility.
[If that happens, flexible movements such as climbing walls will become difficult?]
“It doesn’t matter. The superhumans hiding among them can’t be caught with meager quantities anyway. It’s better to have them take charge of the higher ranks and push their general troops away.”
Eve, who had virtually ignored the opponent’s ground forces compared to the space fleet and superhumans in the battles in the past, changed her policy.
It was intended to reliably push the enemies from the ground that covered the allies’ quantity with overwhelming firepower.
‘We also focus on firepower.’
Due to the nature of the Legionnaires’ fundamental being a living organism, it is impossible to defeat the firepower of the mechanized troops with firepower unless they use their form power.
However, Eve also strengthened the military class to have the minimum firepower.
Here, the genes of degenerative polyps that were eaten in the past were actively used.
Not only the earth dragon, which has been in operation for a long time, but also the flying dragon that resembles moray eels made from floating small artillery.
Eve worked hard to increase firepower by extending her head to two. In the meantime, the data of numerous species that were eaten while expanding their power to other planets were used intact.
[I don’t know what you think, but the Legion is still constantly evolving to match its opponents like this]
“It’s still not enough.”
It is true that it evolved through experience and learning, but Eve was still not satisfied. In the end, the most important thing that the mass-produced type knew, the higher-ranking species that had to deal with the important factors of the enemies also needed to be upgraded.
However, upgrading the high-ranking species, who are all-rounders with high firepower, was not easy as it was also the upgrade of Eve, who is a hive mind.
‘Their troops are completely close.’
“We’ll split the fleet we left in Valen and dispatch it. Maybe they’ll try to compete on the ground again if we do that.”
After thorough preparation, Eve clicked her tongue as she saw the opponent coming in with a time lag attack. As he understood, the Allied Forces carried out an assault operation to terrorize the nests on the ground, avoiding the space warfare where it was difficult to fully utilize their forces.
Even if Eve ignored the opposing fleet, it was difficult to invest its overwhelming fleet power on the ground.
The ground is only their nest, so if they bombarded enemies on the ground, it was an act of cutting their own flesh.
“The fleet just keeps them in check. I can’t just be beaten.”
Eve, with a twinkle in her eyes, stole part of the fleet along with her troops. Being hit unilaterally is what Eve hates and hates the most.
There is a high probability that the opponent has already prepared everything, but now Eve needed a way to shake them up.
‘We will send a small fleet and a small number of troops to attack indiscriminately, destroying their other planets.’
Whatever the process, it is the beginning of a bitter war that must be won unconditionally. However, in the meantime, Eve wanted to take advantage of the opponent’s weaknesses and his own strengths.
We can all die together. After all, a few months is enough for him to recover his current troops, and it takes more than ten years for the enemy to create a single general.
‘I don’t need anything else. Only know the gate coordinates.’
Soon, some of the troops who received Eve’s orders warped in front of the incoming enemy forces. The destination was, of course, the planet from which the Allied Forces were summoned.
In the midst of a battle between the main squadrons in outer space above her nest, Eve rushed the troops toward the assembled defenders.
“They came as expected…!”
“The fortress is used for defense, and we have sent over a dozen warpable flagship and escort-class hulls. After all, they don’t intend to engage in a fleet war in space. Prepare to bombard the entire army!”
Unlike the main unit, the position of the defense force protecting the planet and the position of the corps were reversed. This time, the legion is in a position to break through, and it is the position they defend.
“Don’t worry about the ground and reduce the number as much as possible…! They exist on the ground!”
The defense commander raked up the few junk ships, armed them, and resisted with all his might.
The corps’ fleet, formed in a sharp formation, broke through their resistance and artillery fire, and finally succeeded in sending a flagship-class hull into the atmosphere.
Although it is impossible to warp again as it is wounded and damaged here and there, it did its job by itself.
Thousands of legionnaires waiting inside the ship that entered the planet as planned were ready to jump out at once.
“…I don’t know anything else, just remember this. When fighting, don’t come near me.”
The huge ship body fell into the wide ocean and created a huge tsunami. Watching the scene from afar, they hurriedly gathered on the beach, the planet’s defense forces convened in advance.
They already knew what to do. what they have to deal with.
“First of all, let’s start with the refurbishment.”
Some even believed. The person with purple skin who gathered up all the missing equipment and decided to protect this place with the armed National Guard, was called a demon in the original world.
The magic of this high-ranking demon sent to the Union under the command of the Demon Realm Alliance, Kaltas, exploded and scattered a light magical wind around the area.
“What…what did you do?”
“I’ve only scattered a little bit of power to prevent them from getting the gate coordinates. All that’s left is to fight, so concentrate. We don’t have to protect our hometown.”
He grinned at the bewildered local commander’s words and pointed forward.
Thousands of legionnaires protruding from the ship’s hull, which had begun to sink into the ocean, were heading straight through the sky and the sea.
“Shoot it! Shoot it!”
The shells of the navy and artillery fired from the land fell into the sea and caused an explosion, but the legionnaires did not care.
‘Regardless of the outcome, it will remain as a terrible war in the future.’
Laughing, he raised his magic power, twisted the ground and wrapped himself around his body, revealing his true form as a giant stone statue.
To the legionaries who rushed through the fire net in the end, the Allied Forces, who had a mountain of things to protect behind their backs, did not avoid them, but kept their positions and bumped into them head-on.
