Helena’s training proposal.

This was a proposal that was bound to be appealing not only to the party, but also to the party itself.

Honestly, this is justified because war is basically a waste of money.

So what are some of the countries that have put the world into a state of war by saying “what are you doing?”

That and this case can be seen as slightly different.

That’s because they decided to go to war with the goal of the compensation they could receive if they won the war against the other side’s colonies, but the Sacheon Group did not decide to go to war with the Five Dogs with that in mind.

‘Even if we win the war, there is nothing to gain…’

If we win the war and erase the sect known as the Five Readings from the world, we will be able to satisfy our desire for revenge.

However, excluding the psychological aspect, if you look at the economic aspect, there was virtually nothing that the Sacheon Group could gain through this war.

Well… wouldn’t it be possible to build up some prestige?

It will also serve as a warning message to those who were secretly looking down on them.

That might be possible, but it would be difficult to discuss more than that.

The land of Yunnan itself is too barren to discuss anything more than that.

No, wouldn’t the land itself be seen as rich?

The problem is that most of that rich land is covered with jungle.

To put it simply, the land called Yunnan, where the Five Dog Gates are located, is very difficult to access, even though the land itself has very little merit.

Since the former Chinese mainland is covered in radioactive fallout and has been reduced to an alien land, there is no way to access the land of Yunnan other than by sea to Vietnam and then by land from there.

“But will the indigenous forces already established there willingly tolerate the Sacheon Group’s forces pushing into their territory?”

“···Hmm.”

Is it to avoid being disadvantaged?

The party refrained from answering, but it was actually a meaningless action.

That’s because the answer that could be given here was practically predetermined.

How many idiots in the world would welcome a situation where troops under the command of another power are invading the land they control?

It would be safe to say that it doesn’t exist.

“But using force to force it is almost like a bad idea. The reason is ”

“···Because we don’t know when and how the war against misreading will end.”

“That’s right.”

To wage war, stable and continuous supply is a necessity, not an option.

This is true for ordinary soldiers, but isn’t it even more so for Tang family warriors, whose main specialty is memorization or poison?

As such, the amount of consumables consumed each time a battle occurs will be enormous, so the demand for supplies will be sky-high.

But suppose that in such a situation, you end up receiving hostility from local indigenous forces.

“I don’t know, but there will be significant difficulties in maintaining supply.”

Therefore, Helena explained that pushing through force and taking the seat was almost like a bad idea.

“So, instead of pushing through with force, we should negotiate with them… They won’t give up their position easily. When you look at it through their eyes, it’s not them but the Sacheon Group that is disappointing.”

First of all, there once.

And once again to maintain supply routes to sustain the war.

“Sacheon Group is not small in size, but shouldn’t we still be prepared for significant bleeding?”

“Originally it would be like that, but is it different if you hold that person’s hand?”

“It has to be different.”

“I really want to hear the basis for your claim.”

In some ways, this may sound sarcastic.

However, from Helena’s point of view, were these words something she had not been waiting for?

Immediately, Helena, who smiled brightly with the corners of her mouth curled up, continued speaking as she was.

“First of all, there is no need to choose a sea route that takes a long time to travel and carries risks. The moment we receive the cooperation of the Magic Tower Alliance, we will be able to freely use teleportation terminals around the world.”

“Um···.”

“Did you know that there is a teleport terminal in Hanoi?”

“I know that much.”

“I’m glad you know. And let’s see… Even if there is a hostile relationship with local indigenous forces, you don’t have to worry about sabotage. You can use the teleport terminal as a supply base.”

“···The Magic Tower Alliance will not give permission easily.”

“I will take care of that part, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

“···Heung.”

This is a story that only happens if Helena says what she said, but if that happens, the burden that the Sacheon Group must bear will inevitably become overwhelmingly smaller.

Unless the indigenous forces in Vietnam go crazy, there is no way they would choose the option of opposing the Magic Tower Alliance, a group that has taken control of logistics around the world through a cheat called teleportation and is the undisputed strongest force in the world.

The moment you choose it, all logistics entering Vietnam will be cut off, but unless you want to experience slowly drying up, that won’t happen.

When I thought about it that way, it was true that Helena’s offer was so attractive that it was strangely tempting not to accept it, but there was just one thing that bothered me.

It seemed that I wasn’t the only one who was worried about that, and Dang So-so, who had an expression of serious contemplation on his face, quickly pretended to be and crossed his arms.

“Okay, let’s say that part goes as you said. Even so… how do you plan to persuade the Magic Tower Alliance?”

It was like that.

The words Helena has listed so far are things that could have been true only if the Magic Tower Alliance had decided to actively intervene in this incident.

The important point here is that there was no reason for the Magic Tower Alliance to act like that, even at the cost of their own losses.

“If you are planning to induce the Magic Tower Alliance to participate in the war with the absurd argument I mentioned earlier…”

I think I will be truly disappointed.

Suddenly, Tang Soso’s eyes were saying that.

“Of course not.”

“Then…? How on earth are you going to get the Magic Tower Alliance to intervene? Are you really planning on revealing it to them? Su-hyeon’s secret?”

It’s my secret.

That’s my secret, after all.

This means that internal energy and magical power coexist within my body.

In fact, this was closer to a trick using the power of the app, but those who don’t know about the existence of the app can’t help but guess that I must have something special that the countless failures who have existed so far do not have.

The moment I think about it like that, I can’t help but wonder what the difference is.

‘Wizards are basically a race that cannot resist being curious.’

So, if they found out about my secret, it was obvious that they would rush to find out about me somehow.

It is the same situation that the party’s office is worried about.

It’s Dangsoso, who awakened his desire to monopolize me after an attack that happened a while ago.

And although he belatedly got a taste of the love between a man and a woman, saying that the late wind is the scariest thing, he showed such an enormous desire to be exclusive that even his friend Ha-young kept him in check.

That’s why you don’t want to lose me no matter what… What if my secret becomes known to the Magic Tower Alliance?

They will do whatever it takes to secure my recruits.

‘Of course, the Sacheon Group will not want to step down easily…’

In the first place, this is a structure in which a fight cannot be established.

That’s because the opponent is a monster that virtually monopolizes the logistics business not only in Europe but in the entire world.

When compared to animals, if the Sichuan group is like an elephant, wouldn’t the Magic Tower Alliance be like a brachiosaurus?

There is such a difference in weight class that even if Sichuan Group is the king of the pharmaceutical industry, if the Magic Tower Alliance stomps once, they will be rolling around like a ball without even being able to fight properly.

Since that was the reality, it was natural for the party to express such concerns about Helena’s proposal.

“Oh, no way. I’m in a hurry to research on my own, so why would I go crazy and share it with others?”

“Then…?”

“Actually… I know someone on the Supreme Committee of the Magic Tower Alliance.”

“Yes?”

“Exactly… should we say that it is a relationship connected by blood…?”

What is the ambiguous explanation that a family is a family, but a relationship connected by blood?

As I was inwardly tilting my head at Helena’s remark, which raised questions in many ways, her head, which had always been facing the party office, suddenly turned towards me.

And then-

“So…do you ever want to pretend to be a lover with me?”

A proposal that felt very unexpected came to me.
