Chapter 177
Chapter 177 unconditional surrender (1)
“Unconditionally surrender?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
‘What are you thinking… .’
He knows that President Gong is moderately corrupt and moderately compromised with reality.
There were two possibilities that he said surrender.
‘One is really surrender… .’
For once he has to spare his own life, so he can buy time to surrender and help later.
‘The other one… It’s a trap.’
There is absolutely nothing to fall into a trap.
Even if the trap has been dug, it is impossible to subdue Seo Jin-woo with only conventional weapons.
Neither side poses any particular threat to Seo Jin-woo.
‘Blackmailing Hamil, who offered to hold a meeting? I can’t be that stupid… .’
Seo Jin-woo smiled bitterly.
Even if you don’t know, people from intelligence agencies must have already delivered Seo Jin-woo’s profile.
He must have already finished analyzing his tendencies.
Seo Jin-woo couldn’t give in to the NPC’s death threats.
After completing the calculation, the floor goal came to mind in Seo Jin-woo’s mind.
‘If the actual declaration of surrender works, will it be recognized as annihilation?’
The goal of the floor was the annihilation of the Imperial Army and Prince Hamil’s accession as emperor.
If Earthlings and the Imperial Army were alive like this, it could not be recognized as annihilation.
‘perhaps… .’
The floor’s target is monitored by his backers and is literally translated literally unless he takes action.
Even in the 9th-floor Basilisk Valley, where Seo Jin-woo first entered as soon as he returned, clearing was recognized as long as he completed the floor goal of escaping to the lower reaches of the valley.
Knowing this, Seo Jin-woo climbed up a tree to avoid his body and arrived at the designated place leisurely.
‘if so… .’
defeating the empire.
The empire itself must be annihilated.
‘So, the minimum number of people on the floor is one.’
The same goes for the coronation of the emperor.
If there is an official act that will record the fall of the empire in the history book, the system will recognize it as clear.
‘I’m not sure, but… Let’s do it.’
After finishing his thoughts, Seo Jin-woo said to Captain Choi, who was nervous.
“Why surrender?”
“I, I don’t know either. However, only in this way can humans from our planet survive… . I was told never to resist or respond.”
“What is the schedule and procedure?”
“That… That’s right, get this communicator. We will contact you as soon as it is ready.”
“How are you preparing for the unconditional surrender? You want meteor?”
“I, absolutely not!”
“Go ahead and tell me. They say that if you make a fool of yourself, you will send a Meteor to the Imperial Family.”
“Yes, yes.”
When Seo Jin-woo gestured his chin, Captain Choi sprinted towards the jeep he was riding in.
Soon he disappeared to the north, toward the Imperial Imperial Palace.
“Jinwoo, do you smell something?”
Han Woo-joo looked in the direction where Choi disappeared.
“It is not.”
“Brother, President Gong is never just a great man to surrender.”
“okay.”
“But why… ?”
Seo Jin-woo laughed at Na Seong-jun’s words and continued.
“With only you and Han Woo-joo, you can survive without dying no matter where you fall on this floor. Even if a mean guy did it anyway… .”
“Um ha ha ha, you’re right too!”
At Seo Jin-woo’s words, Na Seong-joon burst into laughter with a proud expression on his face.
Han Woo-joo stared blankly in the direction of the North as if he still did not know.
“Let’s go back at once. As an outpost.”
“Yes. Go and think about it. It’s gotten so bleak here… .”
The beautiful castle on the lake was completely destroyed, leaving only traces of it.
The surviving soldiers were knelt on the floor, tied with ropes.
“Kane. Let’s go to the outpost.”
“What? You came all the way here, you want to go back?”
Seo Jin-woo looked at Kane without answering.
Kane wrinkled her forehead and screamed a whale whale.
“From here it is farther down to the Empire than it is to go down again! Aren’t you thinking that my magic is infinite? I need a break too!”
“Aren’t you supposed to charge your phone?”
Startle.
Kane frowned at Seo Jin-woo’s words with a surprised expression on his face.
“It was the worst thing in my life that I really met a guy like you!”
“Sometimes it was good and I followed him.”
“When did I! You threatened me with a necklace! If you don’t follow me, I will kill you!”
At Kane’s words, the mercenaries glanced at Seo Jin-woo with more cautious eyes.
“That… In the beginning, the Seo Jin-woo mercenary team was with us… It doesn’t fit.”
“Why does such a person work as a mercenary… .”
“Uh-huh! It’s fun, Dad! Is not it? Isn’t this the fun of adventure?”
“Remy, you don’t laugh like that on the battlefield!”
Kane muttered to himself and soared high into the sky.
Soon, a bright light shone, and mass teleport was cast.
“uh? Why are you back already? Are you short of supply?”
“Wow! Seo Jin-woo’s mercenaries are back! The one who captured Pendragon Castle!”
“The one who summons dragons! Dragon Rider!”
“Our savior! Seo Jin-woo Mercenary!”
As soon as the teleport was finished, cheers from the people around began.
“It’s a Pakgom mercenary team… .”
Na Seong-jun entered Hamil’s conference room with a depressed expression.
“The mercenaries are all disbanded now that their mission is over.”
“It was a wonderful experience.”
“To witness the actions of dragons and archmages that you’ve only seen in storybooks… . Could there be any other luck like this?”
“Thank you so much for standing on the side of the Allied Forces.”
The mercenaries lined up and greeted Seo Jin-woo.
Everyone was hesitant to put a stamp on Seo Jin-woo, trying to add one more word.
Brennan and Remy approached Seo Jin-woo, who hurriedly sent back the mercenaries with a dry answer.
“Daddy, that’s amazing! It’s better than being a mercenary while beating monsters!”
“Remy… A war in which millions of people die is not a good thing!”
“Still, everyone died defending their beliefs. So isn’t that cool enough? Even if I die on an adventure, I won’t blame anyone.”
“Remy! Who is going to die?”
As usual, a war of words between her and her daughter began.
Seo Jin-woo raised his hand, knowing that their fight would not end easily.
“Stop it now. Anyway, you too, go and receive the payment, and just in case you don’t know, for the time being, go mainly to the south of the continent.”
“Why, uncle? Another war in another place?”
“Because you don’t know.”
“What if a mercenary is afraid of battle? Uncle, can I stay here any longer?”
“No. There will be plenty of adventure in the south of Aitas. Travel all over the continent and make the most of the adventure you want. There’s no danger with Harion.”
Remy reluctantly nodded her head at Seo Jin-woo’s words.
“Then, uncle… Can we meet again?”
“no.”
“Why? You’re also a mercenary, so if you work as a mercenary, won’t we meet again?”
“Remy, stop it. They are busy people.”
“Is that right? As a mercenary… .”
Remy continued to grumble, as she couldn’t be bothered to break up.
“I don’t want to give you unnecessary expectations. We’ll probably never see each other again. Have fun adventures with your father, and when you get bored, settle down somewhere and live a good life. It is also an adventure.”
“Okay… . But what if our Harion breaks down somewhere later? Aren’t you supposed to fix it?”
“I am made of a new generation of self-healing metal… .”
“Shut up.”
“… .”
Seo Jin-woo smiled and nodded his head.
“For sure later… never look for you So go now.”
“Really? Is it real? I promised you!”
“okay. And Brennan, your town… If possible, don’t go there.”
“Well? Ah… . I see.”
Brennan, who raised the hemispherical shield, nodded her head.
“Actually, there is no problem even if you don’t have a completed payment. That gold nugget you gave me… They say the purity is great. It is enough for me to live my whole life just spending my whole life.”
“So, stop wandering around and find a place to settle down.”
“Even if it’s not, I’m afraid I’ll open a restaurant somewhere with a good neck.”
“Then how about a bakery? Because I am good at making bread!”
“Lee, Remy… Let’s reconsider that.”
“Eh? Dad!”
Brennan asked for a handshake.
Brennan clasped her hand that was facing Jinwoo Seo and spoke with a serious expression.
“Be well. It seems that there are several stories… . I’m sure you’ll get it all right in the end.”
“You’re needlessly sentimental.”
“You really are a special person. we’ll just go Remy! Have you never seen the sea? Let’s go to our southernmost sea!”
“Wow, really? Dad is the best! Uncle, we are going! See you again!”
After Remy and Brennan, all the mercenaries at the outpost left.
Na Seong-jun came out of the conference room and called Seo Jin-woo.
“Brother, come in.”
In the conference room, Hamil’s lieutenant was seated in a chair with a firm posture.
“What is the situation?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)
In response to Seo Jin-woo’s question, the lieutenant started the briefing with a strong flag.
“His Majesty Hamil is absent for an outside schedule. The prisoners of Pendragon Castle were transported to the rear. 100 out of 200 knights are preparing to fight at Malmohus Castle.”
“Malmohus is not allowed to go.”
“Yeah?”
“I’m going to collect the prisoners over there anyway.”
“Uh, but… .”
“In this war, capturing prisoners and gathering information is meaningless. It’s because they know where each other is anyway, and they have the forces and strength to engage in an all-out war, but they just don’t do it. We both have what we want.”
The lieutenant made an expression that he could not understand at Seo Jin-woo’s words.
From the point of view of a non-player, a pure NPC, and an ordinary person, none of Seo Jinwoo’s words would have been understood.
“The important thing is not to be a prisoner of war. Anyway, there is no need to send troops to Malmohus.”
“But Hamil’s orders… .”
“It doesn’t matter if you want to send it. It’s a bummer anyway, but… .”
Even with Seo Jin-woo’s explanation, a loyal lieutenant was not dreaming.
“Anyway, okay. Go out.”
“Yep.”
When the lieutenant left, Seo Jin-woo called Kane.
“Kane, tell Tarion and Hamil to see each other.”
“Lord? I know.”
After a while, Hamil and Tharion appeared in the conference room via teleport.
“Well? How did you get right here? I have been informed that Pendragon Castle has been captured.”
“It’s after a while. Tarion, have you seen everything?”
“Yes. I’m starting to get bored now… When will the floor attack end?”
“It wasn’t far. That’s why I called you.”
“Well? What does that mean?”
At Hamil’s question, Seo Jin-woo threw President Gong’s ID card on the table.
“We also captured Malmohus. And the messenger of the Imperial Army came and declared unconditional surrender.”
“must… surrender?”
Hamil’s eyes trembled violently.
Hamil, who had asked several times in disbelief, staggered and sat down in her chair.
“D, finally… . Is this long war coming to an end?”
“The enemies have expressed their intention to hold talks on the premise of unconditional surrender.”
“Well then… Maybe another Hamil’s whereabouts… .”
“I do not know yet. Because it was delivered only by the doctor through a messenger. I got a communicator, so I’ll get back to you soon.”
Anxiety flashed in Hamil’s eyes.
“If you take Hamil’s life as a prisoner… How do we get the upper hand in negotiations?”
