Episode 310
Choi Jun-ho has returned. Only King Ahmed and Nasir, lost in thought, remained there.
“Nasir.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. “Do you have anything to tell me?”
Looking at his old confidant bending over, King Ahmed calmed down the information floating around in his head for a moment and asked.
“How did you hear what my friend said?”
“I thought it was just like him.”
“also?”
“yes. Choi Jun-ho Choin considers his role to be very important. In his view, Egypt has no role in the normalization of the Suez Canal.”
Since Egypt has no role to play, even if only 1 is deducted from 100, it should be accepted as a blessing.
That was Choi Jun-ho’s idea.
King Ahmed believed that Egypt’s share was justified because Suez was Egyptian territory. Even if it is not occupied, no one can deny that it is Egyptian territory.
But if you think about it another way, it was an old order. After the appearance of monsters, national defense capabilities weakened, wars broke out all over the world, and numerous civil wars and coups occurred.
There were many countries whose territories changed in the process.
Right now, Saudi Arabia also can’t pay attention to other countries coming in and out of its territory due to the nightmare of the desert.
From that perspective, Choi Jun-ho’s story was not wrong.
“Suez is currently lost.”
Egypt, which had been reaping enormous profits from the canal, was pushed out as if driven out.
What if you succeed in getting it?
No, as long as Choi Jun-ho steps forward, it will be 100% successful.
King Ahmed felt a desire that had been pushed to the back of his mind slowly emerge.
Since it is a territory that Egypt is not occupying, wouldn’t it actually become their territory if they plant a flag first?
Nasir noticed that sign right away.
“Your Majesty the King?”
“Why but?”
“No way… Suez…”
“We have to repair and maintain it, but wouldn’t it be better if we owned it ourselves? “Egypt has also been abandoned, so it is an empty land that no one owns.”
“But that would be condemned as an act of aggression.”
“In reality, they will do their best to impress us who have control of the trade route.”
“majesty.”
“It’s a road that connects Europe and Asia. “Even if I give up most of my profits to my friends, I can reap astronomical profits just by restoring trade along the Mediterranean coast.”
Nasir felt his heart sink when he read the greed in King Ahmed’s eyes. He is clearly making a wise decision for Saudi Arabia. But until then, it wasn’t this drastic.
‘no way.’
What suddenly crossed Nasir’s mind was that Choi Jun-ho’s actions were coloring those around him.
There are rumors that Jeong Da-hyun, the most notable talent in Korea, is causing concern because of this. I laughed it off when I heard that a promising prospect who was synonymous with justice has now become so corrupt that people are raising concerns.
‘I never thought that would be true.’
Nasir had a hard time determining whether this change in King Ahmed was positive or negative.
One thing is clear: this kind of boldness is not helpful when running a country.
Although it is struggling now, Egypt was also a military powerhouse.
King Ahmed responded to Nasir’s explanation as follows:
“Are we hearing good things from our neighbors?”
“….”
“Whether you give him a 1 or a 10, he’s going to be dissatisfied. In that case, it would be better to keep it all and give it away as a generous gift.”
“majesty.”
“Let’s proceed.”

Egyptian President and dictator Mustafa al-Ashur opened his eyes wide at the news from Saudi Arabia.
“…What are these guys saying now?”
We had been in a relationship for a while. There was a monster named Horus in Suez, and Egypt was struggling to defend the Nile River basin while waging war against the monster every day.
It is no exaggeration to say that the core of Egypt was the Nile River, and the entire population was gathered here.
So, despite the large territory, the population density was at the worst level, which meant that concentration of power was possible because there was a clear space to defend.
However, Egypt’s defense was experiencing a complete failure. Although they were defending the Nile River basin, the attacks of monsters pouring in from a wide territory at every moment were intense.
Meanwhile, news came that Saudi Arabia had overcome the threat of demons.
Headbreaker eliminated the desert nightmare that dominated the Arabian desert.
Laying the foundation for a neighboring country to become stronger is never good news. Mustafa felt sick, but thought it was someone else’s problem and tried to pass by.
However, unexpected news was delivered.
Saudi Arabia had proposed joint operation of Suez.
Mustafa, who was overwhelmed with maintaining the defensive line right now, was tempted by the prospect of additional income, but could not give in, so he showed his courage.
The calculation was that Saudi Arabia, which had more money to spare, would be able to extract more.
Yes, under normal circumstances, Saudi Arabia would have made concessions.
But Saudi Arabia’s actions went beyond Mustafa’s imagination.
Rather than making further concessions, the direction was to take over Suez unilaterally.
Of course, Mustafa went on a rampage, but when he came back, he checked the message and was ignored, aka ‘read and chewed’.
“These crazy people!”
Mustafa went on a rampage, calling his men and shouting to advance to Suez, but had to listen to his confidants saying, ‘It is difficult.’
After cooling off, he realized there was nothing he could do right away.
Mustafa tried to contact neighboring countries in this crazy and hectic situation, but they only joined in criticizing Saudi Arabia and made no further moves.
Rather, some countries were even attempting to join Saudi Arabia in order to take advantage of the Suez Canal when it reopens.
“her!”
In the end, Mustafa’s sigh deepened as he watched Saudi Arabia move its troops near Suez.

[You’re really greedy. Wow, I was impressed.]
Yongyong has been saying this since a while ago.
After I heard about King Ahmed and the Suez Canal.
I don’t know what greed is.
“What’s the problem?”
[Isn’t it an irrational number?]
“What is an irrational number?”
[This is just plunder.]
“If you don’t have the power, you have to take it.”
Of course, this also applies to me.
Of course, I have nothing to lose from it. All the guys that attacked me had their heads smashed.
Strength is justice. Putting power first, justice is just a cover-up.
This becomes more severe in relationships between groups than individuals and countries rather than groups.
It won’t matter if Egypt overcomes itself and advances later, but for now, I think giving 10,000, which is equivalent to the price of the land, is enough.
You’re not saying you’re going to eat raw food for free, are you?
Honestly, you can just occupy it, but if it’s 1, it feels like you’re being taken care of.
[I guess that’s what they eat raw.]
They don’t give the slightest thought to me dealing with the monsters that are secretly operating in Suez.
After talking with King Ahmed, I was thinking of going straight to Suez, but I was dissuaded from going for a few days and rested comfortably at the palace.
Since there was already an aftereffect from the high-speed flight, I focused on returning my overloaded body to its original state.
[The human body is weak.]
“I need to get a related gift.”
[How many more people and monsters are you planning to rip out?]
“Of course, until you get what you want.”
Since there is no one to be upset about if you die, it is perfect to use your hands. Right now, it’s worth holding on because the gift egos are sharing the burden in high-speed flights. Even if it’s disappointing, you can use it, so if you look for it, you’ll find it.
“But you managed to follow me?”
[Have you forgotten who I am? I am Shinsoo, the great blue dragon.]
“Who said what?”
[You’ve been ignoring me lately! Show me what you’re like once? Huh?]
Yes, you are good.
I don’t know why the sight of this guy who is talking about how good he is is so unsightly. If you are a Shinsu, you should show the dignity of a Shinsu, but it seems like you are struggling to be recognized for your actions.
Horus.
It is estimated to be at the plus level, and does not have the face of a hawk with a human appearance, but rather has the appearance of a hawk overall.
Although Suez is its territory, it is not known where it lives, and it is famous for destroying everything that approaches Suez.
He showed off his incredible physical prowess by descending from the sky and splitting several large ships in two at once.
“What we need to be most wary of is intelligence.”
Naturally, Egypt has taken active steps to avoid losing Suez.
They promised Arab countries the rights to Suez and hired superhumans. As many as six people went on a hunt, but three people died and the hunting team that followed them was wiped out.
At the time, the hunting method was one-by-one, and they were almost toyed with by Horus, who had overwhelming speed and was well-versed in the terrain.
Egypt, which suffered the most damage, was reduced to the area around the Nile River and has not yet recovered from the damage.
“Are you okay?”
[Why are you smart?]
“You can use it.”
[You can’t believe it?]
“Then you thought I would restore Suez and just sit back and relax?”
It would be nice if we could trust it, but Saudi Arabia was also a country after all.
There is a high probability that their interests do not align with mine, and given the distance to this place, it is not something I can keep in sight and manage on a daily basis.
[Will they listen to you?]
“I guess it’s at the plus level, so there’s a high chance they won’t listen. However, if intelligence is high, reason can sometimes overcome wild nature.”
The plus level monsters I’ve seen so far have thoughts and emotions.
Since the dog was tamed at a low level, the chances are half and half.
In fact, half and half has also increased.
Since I started with Nuri, I have failed a lot along the way.
[Is it higher than you think?]
“Because the person I was when I tamed the dog is different from the person I am now.”
I got a hint while taming the essence of the divine beast. If it has a strong survival instinct or is timid, you can tame it by threatening it enough.
[It’s difficult if your survival instinct is weak.]
“That’s easy. “You just have to beat it until its survival instinct reaches its peak.”
Rather, what I’m worried about is something else.
It’s possible that the guys who got hit by Horus didn’t want to admit that they were stupid, so they decided he was smart.
“Usually bird heads aren’t that smart. Oh, I didn’t do it for you. “You’re not a bird, are you?”
[….]
“Was it a bird?”
[Is it a bird?]
“Or not.”
Yongyong was unable to express either yes or no to my words.

Horus, the Lord of Suez, is a monster whose territory is the entire Isthmus of Suez.
Horus, who had loved this place since he became conscious, fought fierce battles with all threatening monsters and became the Lord of Suez after hundreds of retreats and surprise attacks.
Here Horus felt complete freedom. After solidifying his territory, he gradually built up his strength, prepared to move on, and repeatedly defeated intruders when they came.
In the process, she also gave birth to a baby. These are the people who will support the kingdom they will create.
For Horus, this was his kingdom and home. Horus thought this peace would last forever.
Until that ‘monster’ appeared.
At first, he was an insignificant intruder. I thought he was one of the ordinary humans I had defeated countless times. So even though I felt an unusual energy, I did not think it was a threat.
Horus looked at the target he had designated as ‘prey’ from a high altitude. Humans have weak eyesight and extremely fragile bodies, so they would never be able to respond to an attack from this height.
Horus moved, thinking that he would crush the one who dared to invade his territory.
That was a decisive mistake.
puck!
The moment Horus was about to crush his hunting target with his claws, he fell with a twinkling feeling of stars.
What happened?
Embarrassed, Horus quickly got up and flew into the sky. Then, it tried to hunt humans again, but the same situation repeated and it ended up rolling around on the floor.
Wow!
It was only after rolling around on the dirt that Horus realized.
The person he was trying to catch was incredibly strong. It also possesses tremendous power that is difficult to estimate.
If you confront it head-on, you may be in danger yourself.
As soon as his thoughts reached that point, Horus immediately turned around. No matter how strong a human being is, he cannot fly. If the enemy is difficult to deal with, just avoid it.
That was how Horus survived and became strong.
No one can be strong forever. Then just wait until the loophole is revealed.
It was time to think about going back to the nest and hiding until that human came back.
“Are you running away fast?”
…!!!
A voice came from right next to me.
Horus was frightened and tried to swat it away with his wings, but it was no use.
The human who leisurely stepped to the side suddenly fixed his gaze on one place.
“Are you there?”
At the same time, a new type of human leaps forward.
That was where the offspring of Horus were.
