Chapter 498: The Cliché: Growing, Soon After Collapsing (1)

Of course, not all situations were cleared up.

I succeeded in getting them out of the nest with the retreat operation, which had also been forced to have some sacrifices.

However, considering that Jung Hayan’s magic power had not yet recovered, it was impossible for her to use teleportation magic.

It was correct to think that they were moving through the retreat Park Yeon-joo had secured in advance.

‘I don’t know where they’re heading yet, though…’

Anyway, I would figure it out soon.

In the area under Belial’s control, there were spirits everywhere. The place that I judged to be highly likely was the 17 bases that the Republic was attempting to attack.

Considering that it wasn’t too far from this place, it seemed clear that the front line was fixed first, and the direction had been decided later, whether it was to continue the attack, join other troops to reconcile the overall situation, or give up everything and lock it.

In fact, it didn’t matter which one it was. I could say that the current situation was almost perfect. I had managed to fix such a complicated situation.

The demons around me were the best evidence of the current situation.

There were loud shouts and applause. It reminded me of the staff’s appearance clapping their hands at the actors who finished filming the last episode of a drama.

‘Isn’t it the result of everyone being united?’

Despite speaking a very proficient language, the demon Robert was consistent in his crying. Commander Marouane had done his best, even though he only had a small role.

Also, the crisis response team and the situation room staff worked hard for this edition.

I recognized that feeling proud in the current situation was too trashy, but I couldn’t help but keep smiling.

There were even guys who hung an unknown flower necklace around my neck.

‘That’s why it’s good to be the director.’

I don’t know exactly how much performance I had accumulated, but seeing that everyone’s mouths were torn to the ears, it seemed unimaginable.

-It was great acting, external advisor!

-Whew! It was really great. Really!

-What did I say? Didn’t I say everything would be successful?

-Lee Kiyoung, external advisor to hell!!

-To hell Lee Kiyoung!!

-To hell Lee Kiyoung!!!

“Hahahaha. Thank you all. Thank you. Hahaha. There is no need to do this. You don’t have to pop the champagne for me.”

-Thank you very much for your hard work. I was a little worried until the middle of it. Was this all in your head? If you had told me in advance, I would have been able to prepare more perfectly…

“What do you regret when you’ve done well? Limur. I was a little embarrassed by the sudden set of being your husband, but it was amazing just to have followed me without panicking. Even though I didn’t tell you in advance, I couldn’t have imagined you would have played along like this. I was really surprised.”

-That improvise… I would like you to think that there is a bit of personal interest.

‘Don’t keep appealing. It’s getting burdensome.’

-I was also surprised. Lee Kiyoung. I thought it would be over just like this, but you came running right away. It seemed out of the blue, but you seem more attractive when I see you like this. Right now, with Belial…

“Yes. I made a direct contract with him. Originally, I thought it was impossible, but because the current continental conditions are a little unstable, I could get this royal favor. Hahaha. Better than that… Have we accumulated many results?”

-Yeah. Of course. More than I thought. I don’t know if it’s because the scene went out in major cities on the continent, but… no, in fact, just being here is enough to make up for all the damage so far. You’ll just know exactly how much you need to go up when you get there, but if this condition persists, I think you can be in the top 1,000.

“In the top 1,000. If we do this a little more, I think you can take on a separate corps.”

-If such a day really comes, I definitely want to work with Lee Kiyoung. Of course, it’s still distant, but…

“I would rather appreciate it if Limur gave me such a thankful proposal.”

-This outside advisor seems to see no one other than Limur. Hahaha.

“Of course not. How could I say only Limur and I made this? I could have even lifted a spoon because you prepared the table like this. I want to give back to all the demons here in the future.”

-Never forget your words, now.

“Of course. Now, we shouldn’t be like this, let’s clean this all up.”

-Yes.

“It finished well, but it’s just a fix for the wrong first button. There were also variables that were surprising to me. Just because things have worked out right now doesn’t mean that it will work out until the end. It’s also important to toast your first victory, but more importantly, focus a little more on what will happen. I understand you think you’ve done a lot, but it’s just the beginning.”

-Indeed…

“First, the humans captured as prisoners, it would be better to take them to the power room and extract their magic power. The power rooms are, in total…”

-There are five.

“I see. It would be a good idea to change places where humans stay periodically. It’s simply moving rooms, but continuing to instill the fear of going to a food warehouse or a dangerous place will increase your results. Humans who have drained their magic are moved to the recovery room, but you should never reveal that it is a healing process.”

-Probably, the humans gathered are quite terrified. It is clear that they must think about whether or not they will get disposed of. You’re indeed… the external advisor. After all, it seems to deserve the evaluation of looking like a demon more than a demon.

‘That, I don’t want, you bastard.’

“Ahem, you can do that anyway. Also, I would like you to refrain from touching their body as much as possible, except in the great rebellion cases. You may know, but I…”

-Of course. Absolutely.

“I am grateful for your understanding. Before starting the conference, I want to see what the situation on each continent is…”

-We will prepare for it immediately.

“Then please, let us head to the control room.”

-Okay.

This was all necessary. This was the job of a director, after all. Whatever it was, market research was always important.

Once again, after returning to the inner control room, I sat down like a victor.

When I put my legs on my desk and picked up my favorite wine bottle, I felt like I was in heaven.

As I flicked my finger, I could see the whole situation at a glance. After all, the most striking thing is the State.

‘It’s too obvious here, well.’

Most of them are gathering in the square and praying as expected. I could see those crying, as if the king of their country had just died.

Everyone’s faces were stained with anxiety and fear.

-It’s all lies. Everyone. What you just saw in front of you was not the Goddess’ Mirror. This means that this is just a device for the demon to deceive us. Honorary Cardinal Lee Kiyoung cannot really be corrupted. There is no way that our Honorary Cardinal will really be drawn to the demon.

-Raise your head, State people. Goddess Benignore will surely give us the strength to overcome this ordeal. The Goddess will take care of the Honorary Cardinal. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid!

The speaker was screaming that the Honorary Cardinal would never get corrupted, but he also seemed to be unsure of what he had just said. I could also see some soldiers constantly moving, as well as those who were busy gathering combat supplies.

‘The return from the bankruptcy will be faster.’

Enthusiastic prayers were becoming more and more enthusiastic.

No, the expression of simply being enthusiastic did not suit the current situation.

‘The balance of power must be maintained.’

If one were to give the urgency to this side, it will be received pleasantly from the other side.

I felt curious as to why Benignore and Belial hadn’t united so far. If they had teamed up from the beginning and worked together, wouldn’t the earnings grow like bank interest in the 90s, even while standing still?

‘They don’t know what mutual help is.’

As I clicked my tongue and turned my head, what I saw this time were those leaving for refuge.

“It looks like it’s near the Federation.”

It seemed to be evacuating the kingdom’s people, judging that it was dangerous to endure in the kingdoms around the Federation.

Seeing a woman holding on tightly to her son with minimal baggage saddened me a little, though the others around them were no different.

Among them, the scene where an exhausted old man fell while walking on a long road was the best of all. There was even a priest and a woman in a fancy dress that fed potions to an old man.

-How much is left to the nearest city, High Commissioner Beryl?

-Maybe we’ll have to walk for a while, My Queen. Fortunately, there are no other monsters around, but will the people of the kingdom be able to endure the long march…

-They will. Our kingdom people… they will never give up.

-Our ancestors must have said too. More importantly, will it be okay? The kingdom…

-I’m ashamed to see my father, but he probably made the same choice. Rather, is that true? The Honorary Cardinal of the State…

-I can’t say it yet. It is unprecedented that a person with such a divine power has fallen. However, if what we saw is true, it would not be strange to say that the current continent faces an unprecedented crisis.

-That’s…

-You will have to brace yourself, Queen.

It wasn’t just this side. There were so many people here and there that had abandoned their homes.

The appearance of refugees taking a long road with exhausted bodies to move away from Belial’s territory even a little more seemed to represent the current situation indirectly.

Even places that were far away were no exception. Some regions were experiencing unidentified riots, and countries that ceased functioning due to paralysis of production facilities were also evident. Cries of despair ran everywhere.

The entire continent was surrounded by both despair and fear.

The biggest problem to me was that the collapsed continent wasn’t even thinking about standing up.

‘What the, why are these guys like this…’

Even though it was now the time for the human counterattack to begin in the scenario, the knocked-down guys weren’t thinking of standing up at all.

‘You have to stand up, you bastards. ‘

Even in some countries, public opinion is rising to surrender without resisting any more.

I had already predicted that there would be a big wound on the continent, but it seemed that I had cut a much bigger wound than I thought.

The main unit that left the nest was no exception.

‘You shouldn’t fall groggy like this, guys. Fuck, you have to stand up with hope. Stand up, motherfuckers. You can’t let go of hope. Fuck…’

There was no choice for me but to watch the last hopes of humanity carefully.
