Helena broke down.

“What is it…? It can’t be like this… It can’t be like this…?”

It was not because the plan he had confidently advocated failed.

The plan itself was a success.

“Why is the 1st Magic Soldiers, who are supposed to protect Europe, here…?”

Even if you succeed, the problem is that you succeed too much.

In terms of the game, it can be said that the quest goal has been exceeded by about 300%.

Is it because that’s my perception right now?

To be honest, I didn’t understand Helena’s seemingly confused reaction.

“Isn’t it good if strong people come as reinforcements?”

This means that the burden on the Sacheon Group will be reduced.

I had always meant it that way when I said it, but Helena sighed after hearing my words.

“In this case, the problem is that it is too strong.”

“Hmm?”

“The situation is almost as if a nuclear missile has been deployed in a situation where an ordinary missile is sufficient, so how can you get away without panicking?”

Ah, that’s what I meant.

By the way, it’s a nuclear missile.

“Hmm… Is that right?”

“···What?!”

“No, I know that the first magic corps or something is strong, but I wonder if it is that much.”

I only said that to people because I thought it was too exaggerated to say that it was a nuclear missile… but did they at least get scratched by my remarks?

“Wow! You don’t know about the 1st Magic Army! I’m scared. I’m scared. ”

Helena began to show strange reactions once again.

“[WEB Sent] You must respect the 1st Magic Army. As for the 1st Magic Corps, it is the core of Europe’s defense and each member can unleash strategic magic ”

But then, like a broken radio, he keeps saying things whose meaning I can’t understand.

“This person… I didn’t think he was like that, but he was a rather annoying type…”

“What?”

“So, to summarize, isn’t the input too excessive?”

“Right… like that…? Is that so…?”

The reaction seemed to be slightly confused, despite the fact that he was talking a lot with excitement.

Behind Helena’s reaction was the belief that the Supreme Council leading the Magic Tower Alliance could not have made such a decision without any reason.

“Well, the Supreme Committee may have made a mistake. Because everyone makes mistakes.”

“喝!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“What are you saying, really…”

It seemed like he wanted me to take his side and sympathize with what he was saying, so I gave it a try, but he immediately casted ‘GAL!!!!!!!!’.

What beat are you asking me to play to?

“Or…you never know. Could it be that there are other targets we haven’t thought of?”

They say a woman’s heart is like a reed, but Helena was so confused by her reaction that she literally couldn’t make sense of it, so she started babbling at random things, only to receive an unexpectedly serious response.

“It’s a different strategy… I guess that’s a possibility.”

“Can you guess anything?”

“I can’t say with 100% certainty, but I’ve heard that the conflict with the American Western Alliance has intensified recently.”

“The Western United States?”

“I am referring to a coalition of megacorps located on the west coast of the United States.”

“No, I know that…”

I knew that much.

That’s because it’s one of the main forces in the game that serves as the basis for this world.

It is also a group with a significant stake in Kowloon City.

Nevertheless, the reason I expressed doubts was because I did not understand it based on common sense.

“Isn’t the United States now divided into central, southern, and western parts and in a civil war?”

“Right?”

“But you’re in conflict with a third force? And with the forces that exist across the sea?”

“Because it’s across the ocean, maybe they’re doing it more on purpose.”

“Because the Atlantic Ocean that exists between the two will act as a kind of barrier?”

“That’s right.”

Even so, I don’t think this makes sense…

Usually, when we think of the US vs. Europe, we tend to think of a structure where the US gets angry and Europe takes notice, but that is only a realistic standard, and Europe in the worldview of ‘Kowloon City’ is undeniably the most powerful force in the worldview.

This means that the United States, which not only lost the eastern part in the aftermath of nuclear war, but was divided into the United States, the United States, China, and the United States, is not an opponent that can be ignored.

However, when you are in a war-like situation with other forces located around you, you make a decision to turn such a large group into an enemy?

No matter how much a huge natural moat called the Atlantic Ocean exists between the two powers, this was in fact the same as opening a two-faced front.

“I don’t think this is a judgment to be made by entrepreneurs who consider losses to be more terrible than death…”

“Well, don’t they have their own circumstances?”

“Even so, I don’t think this makes sense… Unless someone threatened me with a knife in an abusive language…”

“If you think about it that way, isn’t it the actions of warlocks that really make no sense?”

“Suddenly?”

You suddenly turn the steering wheel in that direction…?

Did you really want to refute my words?

I thought maybe that was the case.

Looking at her expression, Helena seemed to really think that way.

“No, honestly, that’s true. To put it bluntly, if the warlocks didn’t target you and the party leader, but took the place and kept silent about whether it was a misreading or something, how would we have known there were warlocks there?”

“That’s…”

After listening to it, it seems like that again.

” Now that I think about it, it’s really strange, isn’t it?”

“Right? So, rather than going into detail one by one, it is better to think that there was a reason why it had to be that way and move on…”

“No, it’s because it’s really weird.”

Among us, who is the most expert on these things called warlocks?

Needless to say, it is Helena.

To be honest, even if I am not present right now, I have no choice but to agree with this because Helena is a wizard.

The wizard’s main enemy is black magic.

Therefore, when Helena first heard the story about the warlocks and decided that they must be doing it to secure a place in Asia that could be used as a base, she respected that judgment without a second thought…

“As Helena saidㅡ”

“Helena.”

“Yes?”

“Call me Helena. I already told my uncle that we are like lovers, but calling me Helena is a bit odd.”

“Ah, yes.”

Anyway, as Helena said, what if the purpose of the warlocks was really to secure a base to increase their power?

“Instead of moving the Odogmun and attacking this side like now, wouldn’t it have been one of the benefactors? Only then will their true identities not be revealed.”

“Well… it certainly makes sense…”

“But?”

“You might have thought this wasn’t enough.”

“It’s not enough?”

“I told you so. For warlocks, humans are their greatest resource.”

Come to think of it, it was like that.

“But… I heard that most of the areas that are controlled by misreaders or something are jungles? How long would a person live in a place like that?”

“Ah.”

“There will also be an issue of efficiency.”

It’s a matter of efficiency.

Well, it would be more convenient for warlocks to kidnap people in the city than to search through the jungle and catch people to use as sacrifices.

“But if you think about it that way, wouldn’t they have expanded their power by first eating the Five Dogs Gate and using the Five Dogs Gate as a stepping stone to take over other forces around them one by one?”

Yunnan, where Odokmun is located, is clearly an abandoned land with nothing but jungle, but even if you go down there, it is Vietnam.

Next to Vietnam, there was a South Asian federation created by the indigenous powers of Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand, imitating the Matap Federation.

“If we were to just look at the population, it would be much larger than the New Province controlled by the Sichuan Group or the Liaoning area here…”

“What do you want to say?”

“So what I’m saying is…isn’t it too contrived?”

Targeting the Sacheon Group by moving the Five Dog Gates?

Well, let’s say it can be done up to that point.

In a situation where a plan targeting the Sacheon Group had already been planned, if control of Odogmun had fallen into the hands of the warlocks, they might have pushed ahead with the original plan, thinking it was like trying to win the lottery.

As long as you succeed, it would be possible to eat up the infrastructure of the Sacheon Group day by day, but if you are not greedy, that would be strange.

So even if that part is possible…

‘After that, they revealed their existence too openly…’

Should I say that it feels like they are advertising us to come and catch us quickly since we are here.

“Isn’t it a bit coincidental that this happened at a time when the Magic Tower Alliance was going through a conflict with the Western US Alliance?”

“So, Soo-hyeon said…”

“All of this could have happened under someone’s leadership.”

My words are no different from a conspiracy theory.

Helena’s face hardened at my remark.

As if someone had an ominous premonition.
