The Heavenly Demon Can't Live Ordinarily - Episode 514
514Conquer Seoul (1)
Conquer Seoul.
When we first talked about the agenda, people, including Kim Jun-hyuk, reacted with concern..
“It's a reckless plan. Whether or not Incheon can conquer Seoul with its power is not the important issue. After the Absolute foretold a catastrophe, the leaders of each country gathered together and passed an international law prohibiting people from fighting among themselves for a month after the catastrophe broke out. It is a law to prevent humanity from being eaten away in a situation where it may be destroyed, and civil war is also within the scope of international law. If Incheon takes advantage of Seoul's crisis to bring them down. There is a high probability that countries around the world will define ‘Incheon’ as their enemy..”
“My thoughts are the same. Everyone thinks the central government is unfair, but from the moment Incheon violates international law, local governments will not compromise with Incheon. It is a fight that has lost its cause. Even if Incheon collapses the central government, Incheon should worry about its future..”
international law.
It was a sensitive issue.
Everyone could not help but be shocked by Roman Dmitry's remarks, as it could turn the entire world into an enemy..
but.
Roman Dmitry was calm..
Issues such as international law had already been fully considered..
“What you say makes sense. If international law is violated, the whole world will attack Incheon, and whether it is directly or indirectly, Incheon will experience many difficulties. However, the risk posed by international law is a meaningless premise. The central government has already shown hostility toward Incheon, and from the moment we rejected their proposal, we crossed an irreversible river. Once the catastrophe passes and the central government fully reorganizes its forces, we will have no choice but to miss an advantageous opportunity due to the time guaranteed by international law..”
“If you think about the future, it's a factor you have to accept..”
“no. Even considering the future, now is the right time. International law is a law for powerful countries. On the surface, it appears to be a safety measure for humanity, but in reality, no meaningful punishment has been imposed when powerful countries commit acts that violate international law. They are just trying to block variables. To prevent countries other than powerful countries from self-destruction. In this way, the risks that the entire world can bear are distributed, and other countries can be restrained using the cause of humanity. I hope for a new future centered around Incheon. And Incheon's status in the new future will be determined not by whether it faithfully follows the standards set by the world, such as international law, but by how powerful Incheon is..”
It was unconventional logic..
The existence of international law was destroyed by force..
“The central government found itself in a dangerous situation. If we attack them now, we can minimize the loss of our troops, and our record of overwhelmingly overthrowing the central government will remain the standard by which the world evaluates us. Think about it. Although it is considered a weak country, the central government is the organization that consolidates the entire country of Korea. If one city had the power to overwhelm the central government, it would be difficult for even a powerful country to attack Incheon. In fact, the power of local governments is not needed in the war against the central government. The reason for accepting them is to unify the entire Republic of Korea, and if powerful countries impose economic sanctions by citing international law, we can choose to become self-sufficient with resources secured from local governments. I assure you In the past, there was a powerful weapon called nuclear weapons in this world. No matter how small a country was, a country with nuclear weapons could not be touched..”
People swallowed dry saliva..
The more Roman Dmitry spoke, the more he was completely overwhelmed by a sense of intimidation..
“I defeated an S-rank monster in one blow. My existence will be like a 'nuclear' to people. Do you think that even a powerful country would dare attack Incheon? impossible. Even if war breaks out, I have the strength to handle them..”
I was arrogant.
It was great confidence..
However, since the opponent was Roman Dmitry, Kim Jun-hyuk and others did not take it as nonsense..
Past actions.
I've already proven myself enough.
If he is right, then it is right; if he is possible, then it is possible..
In fact, if you have the confidence to handle the entire world, you will be able to clean up the central government without much trouble even if you attack Seoul after the catastrophe is over..
Nevertheless, we attacked at the right time. Roman Dmitry always thought about what was best, no matter how powerful he was..
If the central government was clearly defined as the enemy, it was a natural choice to find the weaknesses of the enemies that had to be defeated someday and bite them cruelly..
blast furnace.
Now was the time.
It is the right time to overthrow the central government and create a new landscape centered on Incheon..
Roman Dmitry said.
“3 days after red time ends. Within three days, we will identify our enemies and wipe out all those we define as enemies. Keep in mind. If you want to follow me in the future, you will have to understand and accept the new landscape centered on Incheon, not the international law created by fellow humans..”
* * *
and now.
Cha Young-min asked with a shocked expression..
“……Was this something discussed with the Incheon government in advance??”
“Yes.”
“Hehehe.”
I was embarrassed.
The conquest of Seoul?.
Cha Young-min wanted to ask about complex issues such as international law, but he knew that it was a meaningless premise..
The Incheon government has Kim Jun-hyuk. As mayor of Incheon, he has a reputation for being wise, but there was no way he would have followed Roman Dmitry without thinking..
Moreover, isn't that person standing next to Roman Dmitry like a bodyguard the epitome of justice, called the white-robed wizard?.
It was a crossroads of choice..
Rather than questioning things that did not make common sense, it was time to look at Roman Dmitry and make a decision..
‘Roman Dmitry is a person who destroys common sense. He blew off the head of an S-class monster with one blow, and even though a monster wave appeared on the sea, he easily dealt with it. Even based on the information I have confirmed, Roman Dmitry is not a being that can be defined by a grade. He has a power far beyond the S rank, and if he is the type of person who pushes for war in response to the central government's atrocities, there is a high probability that your relationship with him will be decided by just one choice. If he keeps an ambiguous distance while measuring his opponent, he will never be able to move forward with him..’
I swallowed dry saliva..
Incheon vs. Central Government.
It's a ridiculous fight..
People may say it is a fight between David and Goliath, but Cha Young-min had no doubts about Roman Dmitry's victory..
It just seemed like it.
I was strongly guided by instinct..
‘The answer has already been decided.’
saw the essence.
Direction according to Roman Dmitry.
In modern society, the expression 'people' is used arrogantly, but unlike the central government, which always says that the people are everything, it did not ignore the people..
Those who serve the people and those who do not.
Given the choice of either/or, it was clear which was better for Busan and my future..
The worries didn't last long.
After exchanging glances with the leaders, Cha Young-min spoke with a decision-making expression..
“So, what should I do from now on??”
* * *
Ulsan.
Fortunately, the place was not hit directly by the catastrophe..
However, when a monster wave occurred in Busan, it was in the area of influence and experienced difficulties of its own as monsters living in the vicinity flooded in..
Then an incident occurred..
Just when red time was over and I was about to take a breather, I received a report that one of Ulsan's defense bases was in danger..
[We need help right now. As the walls collapsed, defense capabilities were completely lost..]
“……I understand first of all.”
communication was cut off.
Ulsan Mayor Lee Myung-hwan pressed his temples due to the sudden surge of pain..
Early days of the apocalypse.
Unlike cities like Incheon that were largely wiped out, Ulsan enjoyed a relatively peaceful time..
At first I thought it was luck.
However, with so many citizens surviving, it was not possible to concentrate the defense system by shrinking the city like Incheon, and Ulsan had to divide its defense base into several to accommodate the large population..
That wasn't all.
As immigrants flocked to Ulsan upon hearing that it was safe, Ulsan had the largest population among local governments..
So the defense base was divided into three..
We dispersed our troops and prepared for a catastrophe in our own way, but we heard a report that one of them collapsed a little while ago..
It was a dilemma.
According to the report, reinforcements should be sent immediately, but the current situation at the home base was not that good..
‘It can be dangerous to move hastily after the red time has ended. But if we don't send reinforcements, many Ulsan citizens will die. Ah, what can I do with this?.’
I had a headache.
I didn't make a hasty decision..
While he was pondering over and over again, he received an unexpected call..
‘Youngmin Cha?’
Busan Mayor.
It was a call from Cha Young-min..
I felt a little hesitant..
Immediately after the monster wave occurred, Cha Young-min requested reinforcements from Ulsan and other surrounding local governments..
Myung-hwan Lee rejected the earnest request..
We fully understand that Busan is dangerous, but we are not allowed enough power to help Busan in a situation where it is difficult to protect Ulsan..
Because he was alone and feeling guilty, Myung-hwan Lee thought of a sufficient excuse in his head before receiving the call..
however.
What came back was shocking..
[Join the rebellion. If you give us your help, we will solve all the problems facing Ulsan..]
Roman Dmitry gave the role to Cha Young-min..
If Incheon is a body like Roman Dmitry, Busan has decided to cooperate with Incheon rather than the central government for the first time..
So we brought Cha Young-min to the forefront..
It was judged that if the person who was persuaded could persuade others, it would be possible to win over the hearts of local governments..
It was as expected.
Cha Young-min knew how to persuade..
[Now the central government cannot afford to help local governments. No, even if it exists, Ulsan will be pushed to the bottom of the list as forces friendly to the central government are taken care of first. Mayor Lee Myung-hwan. Roman Dmitry saved Incheon and Busan. His power is incomparable to that of the central government, and he never abandons his people. So judge wisely. There are no second chances. If you reject Incheon's offer, you will never be able to change your choice again..]
I'm in trouble.
It was not an easy problem.
It was difficult to trust Roman Dmitry that much, and if he had chosen Incheon, he could have been pushed out as a rebel..
But after thinking for a while, Myung-hwan Lee changed his mind..
As Cha Young-min said, even if you pledged loyalty to the central government, you couldn't get an answer offering help right away..
Considering the immediate situation rather than the distant future, it was clear that Roman Dmitry was the person who would solve Ulsan's crisis..
and.
I believed in the previous example.
If Incheon and Busan, which were hit directly by the monster wave, were safe, Incheon would have had enough power..
“……If you help Ulsan, I will follow Incheon and join the rebellion in the future..”
beyond the screen.
Cha Young-min laughed.
[Well thought out.]
* * *
The human heart was treacherous..
Even after saying he would cooperate, Myung-hwan Lee reflected countless times on whether he had made the right choice..
‘What if the central government suppresses Incheon? The Ulsan government and I, who participated in the rebellion, will receive appropriate punishment as rebels. Is it really right to trust Roman Dmitry? The words I hear prove his strength, but the facts I have personally confirmed are not. If there is even the slightest exaggeration, the Ulsan government may meet the worst possible ending..’
I was nervous.
I was anxious.
I couldn't do anything with my eyes fixed on my phone..
I was laughing at myself..
It would take at least a few days to resolve the problem in Ulsan, but he did not have the courage to wait in peace..
Has about an hour passed?.
Suddenly the phone rang..
Tiririri.
‘It's still too early. I'm guessing you're contacting me about another issue..’
I put my heart down.
There was no way he had already achieved special results..
however.
The voice that had told me despairing news a little while ago now conveyed the situation in a voice full of joy..
[Mayor! We have just succeeded in retaking the defense base! All of this is thanks to Incheon’s support. Only two people appeared through teleportation magic and wiped out all the monsters attacking the defense base. The mayor's choice was right. These monsters are enough to stand against the central government.!]
Moment.
I got goosebumps.
Lee Myung-hwan looked shaken at the achievement achieved in just one hour..
“……This is possible?”
Now I'm sure.
The rebellion that Cha Young-min spoke of.
It no longer felt unreal..
* * *
Ulsan was just the beginning.
Cha Young-min persuaded local governments one by one, and as the success stories increased, local governments also responded positively..
antipathy toward central government.
An unbearable catastrophe.
The Power of Roman Dmitry.
It was a combination of three beats..
If the rope that came down from the sky was real, local governments had no reason not to grab it..
But the plan didn't go smoothly.
southern regions.
Regions further away from the capital were quickly persuaded, but the situation changed as we moved upwards..
Cha Young-min also warned me.
There is no problem in persuading the majority, but we cannot guarantee everything..
just as expected.
[What kind of nonsense is that now? Dare to revolt against the central government.?]
Hanam Mayor Jeong Mun-ho.
Central government agents reacted fiercely..
