chapter 39
A corpse that goes against the order – 2
Apels Revival Army using the grandiose name of the third glory. Blocking these corpses from accessing the academy is a natural measure for the safety of the nobles currently staying at the academy, but at the same time it is for the prestige of the empire.
Apells is a country that has already been destroyed over 300 years ago, and there is a history of the empire deciding and killing not only the revival army but also the people who could be the center of the revival movement. But, transcending the times, the Apels revival group appears again?
‘It’s a disgrace.’
It doesn’t matter how big or capable the revival army is. The prestige of the empire would suffer even if there were people who rebelled against the rule of the empire and longed for a country that had been destroyed in the distant past. When other countries hear the news, they will laugh at it behind their backs. If you’re not very good, did such traitors appear?
So don’t miss out on the third glory. The victory condition of this defense is to kill or capture all of them. If I miss even one, and the presence of the Third Glory – the Apels Revival Army spreads outward, especially throughout the Three Kingdoms, my communication area will be colored in a brilliant purple light.
That’s no way, really no way. The Crown Prince, who had already passed through the Minister of the Imperial Household regarding Ainter, issued an order, and if the imperial prestige were to suffer a blow at the place where I was staying, the least direct contact was made to the Crown Prince. The worst is upstairs, f*ck.
‘I’m going to turn around.’
I sighed as I pressed my brow lightly at the feeling of discomfort.
If it were another group, there would be no need to keep this grit and maintain security and wipe out, but it is the Apels Revival Army, which is a sure thing to do if caught. Whether it’s the third glory or the third damn thing, if you capture even one alive, you’ll be sent to the first section super course.
So I called the 1st section manager to discuss tomorrow.
“Chief, it’s really not okay to call at night.”
I was a little shy and showed meticulousness in contacting the 4th section manager, but the section manager in front of me doesn’t know the manager’s consideration. Ignoring the head of Section 1, who bluntly pouted his lips, he unfolded a map of the academy and the surrounding area.
“Now, let’s make a route for the first time in a while.”
“Wow…”
Still, it’s work-related, so it’s a bit rushed. After glancing at Section 1, I turned my attention to the map.
The third glory will appear near the academy tomorrow around 5pm. This is information from the intelligence department, so there’s nothing wrong with it. So, as we have to intercept them before they reach the academy, we have to think in advance where to intercept them.
“But if he had a head, he would come secretly, right?”
“That’s true, but since they appear at 5 o’clock when the sun hasn’t even set, you won’t be caught off guard.”
What kind of assailant in the world comes proudly on a sunny day? I would understand if people were attacking for a lot of time, but wouldn’t it be meaningless if they were discovered before they actually attacked?
In fact, it may be a loss to try to understand. Because the tenacity and obsession to revive the nation 300 years ago is the sum of insanity that ordinary people cannot understand.
In the first place, these groups appeared to create a crisis for the main characters in the original work, so I don’t think they’re going to attack them with such determination. The fact that it appears for the first time means that it is close to the tutorial level. Perhaps these are the only ones that are sold out. The other four organizations are bastards with their own history and traditions, so we can’t be vigilant.
“If it were me, I’d probably go in this direction.”
“Isn’t it? It’s only here.”
Since becoming the head of the inspection department, I don’t have much experience in defensive battles. I experienced it often in the north, but it was to the point of rolling under the commanding officer. So, I am worried about which direction to wait for the third glory, but if we look with the mindset of an attacker, the answer will come out.
All I have to do is find a place that says “I think I’ll come this route when I’m third in glory,” And block that place. A person who has been hit before knows where to hit to make it hurt. It’s not like he really wants to know.
I pointed out the small forest to the northwest of the academy while talking with the head of section 1 like that. If you wait, I will come here.
“It’s okay to join Muk Gwangdae here.”
It is perfect to meet in advance and leisurely watch the procession of corpses.
Around noon on the second day of the fair. I got out of the booth for a while and went to a deserted place and called the 4th manager.
“Let’s meet here.”
After talking about this and that, I pushed the map toward the communication section and showed the contact point and interception point I had set up with Section 1 to Section 4. Seeing that he nodded without hesitation, he would come back without hesitation.
– Okay. Let’s go fast.
“You just have to come by 4 o’clock. I’ll be there at that time too.”
– Yes, manager.
“Yes. It’s been a while. I want to see you soon.”
– It’s an honor.
At my words mixed with laughter, the 4th section chief lowered his head and ended the contact. It seems that I said something too private to a former subordinate who was joining due to work issues.
But if you look at it, isn’t there someone you want to take care of even a little bit more? Apparently, to me, since he is the 4th section chief, I end up adding words that are not very important. When Mukgwangdae was still in Section 4, he complained that Section 2 was giving too much favoritism to Section 4.
Of course, I ignored it because the bastard said it was Section 2. I wouldn’t know if the deputy chief or the 5th section said it, but the 2nd section shouldn’t say that to me.
‘There is still time left.’
There is a little distance from the academy to the tangent area, but it is a distance that can be reached until 4 o’clock. For now, I should stay in the booth, exaggerate one bit and get out.
***
After cutting off contact with the manager, I carefully touched the communication port. Conversations with the manager were always glorious and nerve-wracking.
– Yes. It’s been a while, so I want to see you soon.
The corner of his mouth went up slightly as he remembered the manager’s last words. Also, he didn’t forget me. He is always watching with interest.
“Captain.”
At the words of the unit commander from behind, I lowered my mouth and looked back. It was said that he was in contact with the manager, so he took care of himself so as not to interfere. If you are a muk gwangdae who received the favor of the manager, if you are in the 4th section, you should do that.
“What did the manager say?”
“I decided to join him. Head to the A-1 forest by 4 o’clock.”
“Yes, chief.”
The unit commander salutes and turns to the other members. A-1 forest, a place named temporarily because it is the forest closest to the academy. Before moving, I shared all the temporary nominations, so you should have understood.
At the direction of the unit commander, the members began to gather in front of me with more aggressive steps than before. It’s all the same that I haven’t seen the manager for a long time.
I am on my way to see the person who is the hero of Section 4, who brought the collapsed Section 4 back to life and saved us who would have lived a life of gnats. The crew will deal with such an ungrateful fellow before he dies at my hands.
“The foolish corpses that go against the order of things are heading towards the manager.”
At those words, the eyes of the crew gathered.
“They dare to scorn the Empire, deny the Mandate of Heaven, and expose their filthy fangs to the manager.”
The crew had quiet anger in their eyes. In public, it was anger as a member of the Special Forces towards the traitor, and in private, it was anger towards the person who tried to harm the benefactor.
“Is there a cheeky guy who will go empty-handed to the meeting with the manager?”

No answer came. I just silently deny it with burning eyes.
“There’s no need for the manager to come out directly. We don’t block the front of them, we attack them from behind. We capture all of them alive and present them to the manager.”
They are twisting and moving here and there, but even so, they are just a poor and weak revival group. A rebel like a worm crawling on the ground, not only for the cause, but also for supplies and troops. It is as simple as locating and catching the back.
I remembered the Minister of Special Affairs’ instructions as I watched the members quickly disperse after hearing the actual order to attack and demolish the temporary camp.
“The third glory, it’s a grandiose name compared to the stall. It’s obviously easy to wipe out, but there may be people behind it or collaborators. Capture it as much as possible.”
Before leaving to help the director, I had a conversation with the Minister of Special Affairs. A middle-aged man with countless scars and scars on his face. The emperor’s loyal dog that he neglects to forget his inadequacies, even though his magic and divine power can sufficiently erase them.
“And make sure the Inspector General doesn’t intervene. What we need are prisoners to spit out information, not exploded corpses.”
At those words, I nodded his head involuntarily. It’s a bit difficult if the manager takes part in an operation where the purpose is to be captured alive. Of course, even if there was no instruction from the Minister of Special Affairs, the director would not have personally stepped forward.
There is no need for the respected manager to move personally because of bugs. Even though he left his side and came to the Special Ministry, Division 4 keeps his heart for him. Dedicated to the empire in accordance with the will of the manager, a loyal subject of the empire, and following the person who is our benefactor.
“For the respected general manager.”
A word spoken quietly to make a promise to oneself. However, since he was a bureaucrat of the empire, he quietly recalled words that he couldn’t even say because they could embarrass him.
For my dear master.

It would be difficult to miss the third glory or the damn thing, and sweeping itself is not a job. Even the head of the intelligence department recently knew how strong the fledgling rebels would be. Even if many of them come in droves, they can’t even scratch the ink clown.
If I and the 1st section chief face each other, I can take the picture with an overwhelming advantage. Originally, it was said that it was a competent general who confirmed victory even before fighting, but wasn’t I supposed to be in the military rather than the sh*tty inspection department?
“Chief, here.”
“Yes.”
I checked the blade after receiving the dagger handed to me by section 1. It’s still difficult to have a weapon that stands out because it’s still in the academy, and it’s likely that a fight will take place in the forest, so a short weapon is convenient. Although this seems too short.
“It’s been a while since you played in the field?”
“I have to do something.”
I’ve been resident at the academy during my time as manager, and I’ve done dungeon soloing that I couldn’t even sell, but it’s been a long time since I’ve participated in a fight like this. If I didn’t fight, I wasn’t a crazy guy who would get itchy, so I didn’t even need to participate.
Still, it’s been a while since I’ve been moving my body, so it’s a different feeling. If you don’t use your body too much, you might get stiff, so I’ll have to tell the 4th section to keep the siege moderately.
