182 Tues – New Order (7)
“Of course, they’re not fools either. The emotion of fear is obviously worn out and dulled. They will get used to it or find a way to deal with it.”
‘Isn’t that a bad news for us?’
“In all battles, I believe that relying on the opponent’s mistakes in the first place is defeat.”
‘…that’s right.’
This battle, if you look down from the air like this, it ended very lightly as if it was unilaterally wiped out.
But you should not be satisfied with this. Because there were only a few who conquered us this time, and the strategy and troops we had prepared were not all there.
“This is what the legionary ‘Beetle’, with its overwhelming number, strong jaw, and mobility as the center, can be mass-produced with the least energy. Those who can mass-produce with the least energy will take on some of our vanguard in the future. Obviously, they are slightly vulnerable to long-range firepower, but this can’t be compensated for. yes.”
‘that’s enough.’
The legionnaires of the type that Richard named the Beetle proved their worth by demonstrating greater power than expected in this battle.
I imprinted the blueprint into the Hive Consciousness Database. As Richard advised, if you engraved on the Hive Ritual like this, it can be produced anywhere in the Legion’s nest.
“Someday, a researcher like me may join a Legion that has taken root somewhere in the universe. Such a person will be able to help modify and improve the Legionnaires to suit their circumstances.”
‘Well. Will Eve really tolerate it? I’d rather do it myself.’
His enthusiasm is enough to embarrass me. However, the only reason he could be directly involved in the operation of the corps was because I gave him permission.
It was unlikely that Eve would hand over her powers to anyone else, lest she know otherwise. In particular, there are outsourced companies that can extract technology at will.
Even now, he is actively taking out and applying the systematic system that Richard suggested, such as making and engraving specific military class blueprints or imitation of a computer program.
…and it seemed like I should have paid a little for it.
‘Anyway, good. Now let’s move on to the next step.’
Of course, Eve’s work is Eve’s work. Now I have more important things to focus on.
[We launched a preemptive attack on the Alliance, and sent a large army to the goblins who had been in conflict from the beginning. What are you aiming for next?]
‘Our purpose is to devour the entire land. Just like when Eve conquered Eden. And disconnect from Earth.’
The observer’s message struck a chord. Actually, there are no concrete plans at the moment. Because of our circumstances, we still had to judge by looking at the movements of others.
‘First of all, the first thing to do is to completely take over this area by driving out the goblins for a base.’
The basic plan, once established, was to increase the size of the Earth Federation Forces or the Demon Realm to inform us of our existence, leading to a three-way war.
The ultimate goal was to drive out the two forces that could never unite in that state and become the victor of this land.
‘It will be of great help to Eve that we win here.’
The demons of the Demon Realm were members of the Multidimensional Alliance that was fighting Eve. Of course, it was possible to weaken the power if they put them into a crisis or completely destroyed the base.
[Help Eve? Do you want Eve to win?]
‘…Because I don’t know what the alliance’s intentions will be.’
I am moving with them now, but I have no idea how far they will be greedy. But if they break the balance with the newly acquired power and break in, of course, I have no choice but to attack them in order to achieve balance.
“In order for the plan to succeed, we must first win the war against the goblins, right?”
Then Richard intervened. As I said, it wasn’t a complete success yet. Even at this moment, a fierce battle was taking place at a place a little farther away from the nest that had now become quite wide.

“The Federation! Those damn humans?!”
“Yes. Besides, some of them are heading that way. Can you defend them?”
“Impossible, please send support!”
“It’s good. From our point of view, we can’t lose the southern key point.”
Kal’thas in the Crystal Orb. He informed the Goblin King about the Alliance’s troops that had participated in the war, or more precisely, to the player behind the Goblin King.
Naturally, the goblins’ players jumped in surprise. There is also the Earth Federation Forces that are facing each other, but recently, monsters from outer space have also appeared. However, as a new force, the Federation, which has formed an alliance with the Earth, appeared here, those who were fundamentally a weaker force had no choice but to feel a crisis.
“I’ll send you appropriate support, so be prepared.”
In any case, Kal’thas, who had to keep the current balance of power, decided to send them support.
“Hey, what are you talking about?” he says…what the hell?”
“Literally. A horde of bizarre and bizarre bugs attacked and annihilated the advancing Alliance’s army.
But less than a day later, Kal’thas returned the call with a serious expression on his face. He had personally witnessed the alliance’s army, which he was monitoring in real time, swept away by a swarm of unknown monsters.
“I don’t understand. A bunch of bugs? Aren’t they the bugs from the underworld?! Poisonous grub?”
“No. They are beyond the reach of my power. In other words, they were not beasts that had their roots in the Demon Realm.”
Seeing the bewildered Goblin King, Kal’thas shook his head with a serious face. He is the master of the demon realm, that is, all the creatures of the demon realm are in his grasp. Although the power of the game could not be exceeded and the control over the units was lost, the influence over the native species remained the same.
“Sat, if they are bizarre bugs that are not native species, aren’t they them!”
“It’s very likely, but…”
The player trembled, arguing that the identities of those bugs are not the legions that are fighting with them now. But Kal’thas could not think easily.
Now that he already knew detailed information about the corps with information obtained from the rebel coalition, which had become an ally, there was confusion about the appearance of the data and its distinctly different appearance.
‘Then, there is very little information. Even within the Union.’
Kal’thas clicked his tongue, feeling the serious lack of information about the Legion.
“Aww!”
“…what? But why?”
But in the midst of such a serious atmosphere. The goblin king, who opened his eyes, screamed.
[what! What the hell are those monsters!]
Kal’thas did not hear the screams echoing in the goblin king’s mind. And it was the same with the Goblin King who didn’t know why the player fell into such despair.
“These guys, they’re coming here…! There’s a large army of over tens of thousands!”
“what?”
The news that the real players barely deliver is the news of a large army that has appeared in the outskirts of the force.
It was also the sound of the alien monsters that were tormenting them in full swing, smashing and slaughtering everything in their path.
“…what the hell are you?”
Demon King Castle, this is the center of the Demon Realm and once prospered very much as it symbolized the authority of the Demon King. However, it is now used as the headquarters of the Demon Realm Alliance.
In the office there, looking at a crystal ball the size of his torso, Kal’thas muttered blankly.
“The first special species of Category Z, the official nickname for the Union is Wings of Death.”
He was now looking at the being reflected in the crystal ball. The forefront of a large army that is advancing quietly and quickly without even trying to hide its identity. The existence of a mask that stands on the head of a giant species with a hammer head in the shape of a giant cow and spreads its wings.
The information obtained from the alliance to which they formed an alliance and to which they officially belonged clearly described the story of that wing in detail.
“why.”
He stared at the mask in the piercing crystal ball with his twinkling eyes.
“Are you angry?”
I couldn’t understand, so I let out a sigh. He is seasoned and experienced. He could tell that his opponent was harboring intense anger.
I couldn’t even understand why these people, who had only collided once in space, suddenly appeared in the Demon Realm and burst into anger at them.
‘We need a way. And, more appropriate countermeasures are needed.’
Apart from thinking that they might be able to use them as a means to contain the earth forces, Kaltas was aware of a serious crisis situation.
In a short time after appearing in just a few hundred numbers, the enemies were tens of times larger in size. The information obtained also warned them to beware of their astonishing ability to expand and reproduce.
‘In my opinion, you should never react lukewarmly. If the Union really wants to drive those monsters out of their land, then this is not the case.’
So he made a decision. After leaving the office, he headed to the basement of the Demon King’s Castle, unknown to anyone.
“Chairman?”
“It’s all worked out. Call the king of gnolls… Crash right now. I have something to say to his player, or to be more precise, the leader of the Multidimensional Alliance.”
He gave other orders to the minions he encountered while heading to the basement. It was to convey his thoughts to the Allied Forces leadership.
[variable. A variable that no one knows about that started rolling after the new options started]
“Hey. Did you hear that?”
The point at which Kal’thas decided something. When he, who had been looking at the screen indifferently, was also silently muttering.
A man wearing the same white mask came into the room, shouting with a trembling voice and bursting into the room.
“You were right. I’ve just heard from Rex. It’s finally starting to change, but a variable that has never been seen before.”
“Anyway, it’s still only a handful of possibilities.”
“But it’s important to have the right variable that can twist the stem.”
The man smiled and shook his head until the mask shook.
“By the way… are you okay? Having a good variable for us means uh… your unit’s defeat in the end.”
“Funny. Defeat? Units, no, Eve never loses. Instead of overwhelmingly devouring everything, they just gain and lose and lose. But yes, if this variable works, we can no longer reset Eve’s gluttony. You may never press a button.”
He didn’t have to deny it. Because this was the situation everyone wanted from the beginning.
Shinwoo’s new choice. And variables due to new choices. The variable’s snowball began to roll in the Demon Realm in a very minor way.
