Chapter 69 - : Changed People in the Changed World (1) (1/2)

The military unit was destroyed.

A huge number of monster bodies were piled up on the disturbed ground. On one side of the barracks, there were corpses wrapped in ponchos. They had once been soldiers.

It seemed that their bodies testified that they were sacrificed to defend the unit.

“I think there are very few troops currently available inside the unit because a company-sized unit was dispatched to crack down on the monsters for the group quest.”

Sgt. Kim explained, leading Sungwoo into the unit’s base. The main gate of the base was tightly closed, but no soldiers were defending it.

“In fact, it is pointless to organize the remaining soldiers into a unit because there are less than two hundred left.”

Normally, a regiment had a force of more than 1,500 soldiers, but there were only 200 survivors at the moment, which testified how many soldiers were sacrificed in the process of fighting the monsters.

Sgt. Kim said that as soon as the game started, up to one hundred goblins raided the battalion barracks. Considering that there was only one goblin Sungwoo encountered, it was easy to imagine how big the goblins were.

“Their raid was like a surprise attack on a major military base. I don’t know who’s doing this, but come to think of it, it seemed that they wanted to smash the military base as if they intended to ruin us.”

Sungwoo nodded, “That makes sense. They might have planned on it right after they incapaciated the weapons in the unit.”

The survival game began with the human military being completely extinguished. The game was designed that way from the beginning.

It seemed that because they survived this tremendously difficult extermination plan, they were given the odd synergy called “Thorny Path of Loyalty” as a special reward. This game had always been like that. Variables created variables.

“Here it is.”

Sgt. Kim and Sungwoo arrived at the headquarters building of the base.

No one was guarding the guard post at the main gate, but there were some guards there.

It seemed that all the troops were standing on guard at the headquarters because they could not guard the outside of the base properly.

“Who is it?” A private first class soldier pulled out his sword and shouted.

A corporal standing next to him lifted his crossbow and aimed at the party.

“Now, you guys put down your weapons and stick to the wall!” Sungwoo shouted.

Before introducing himself, Sungwoo had the skeletons step forward to show their strength. At first glance, the guards were no match for the large skeletons.

“Ugh! What the heck are they?”

“Oh, battalion commander?”

“Uh, aren’t you Sgt. Kim of the 1st Company?”

The guards immediately recognized the soldiers in Sungwoo’s group.

Sgt. Kim approached the guards and said, “Come on, put down your weapons, and stick to the wall as directed.”

When Sgt. Kim persuaded the soldiers, all of them at the headquarters made the way for them helplessly. They had no choice but to get out of their way.

When they arrived on the third floor of the headquarters, 12 security guards were guarding the entrance to the regiment commander’s office.

Rattle! Rattle!

When Sungwoo appeared with the giant skeletons, the guards looked at each other and immediately asked for help.

“Please spare our lives!”

“We won’t harm you.”

They abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Since they were the direct subordinates of the regiment commander, they had low morale and little fighting spirit.

However, even with this ragtag band of soldiers, they could control any rebellion because of the ‘penalty’ that the regiment commander could impose. In fact, the penalty system of the army was very disorganized in most cases.

“Sgt. Kim, tie all these soldiers together and put them in one place. Lieutenant Colonel Park, you go in first.”

Even in that situation, Lieutenant Colonel Park kept his mouth shut.

Sungwoo had him go into the regiment commander’s office.

***

“Please have tea.”

As soon as he entered the office, Sungwoo had the two Werewolf skeletons step into the office to show his power.

However, even in such a situation, the regiment commander treated Sungwoo to tea by ordering his deputy in an ostentatious show of his inflated pride.
