4.
The world’s assessment and view on Taiwan was not good. It was not because Taiwan lacked potential and national power. The biggest reason was that it had an enemy: China.
The national power and military power of China were behind that of the United States, but the fact that Taiwan had the more ruthless and amoral China as its enemy, had made the world look at Taiwan with a sympathetic eye.
Taiwan’s military power was not at a level of sympathy. On the other hand, they still had the power not to kneel against China, and were even playing a mean trick for their own benefit that a small man would not do.
Major General Li Su-kwang was a person with faith and pride in the potential of Taiwan. So, he accepted Mao’s proposal, allowed the Six Snakes to play in Taiwan, and gave them full support. Furthermore, he dreamed of Taiwan becoming the Republic of China and a great nation to dominate the world beyond Asia, with the Six Snakes, to win the Chinese Civil War, the war against the Chinese People’s Liberation Army that Taiwan and China have been playing out for over half a century.
Li Su-kwang dreamed of becoming the protagonist and the leading player of historical achievements.
‘Why the hell did this nonsense happen?’
It was not until three hours ago that he had given up on the dream. It was the same when he had heard that the dragon of Jeju Island was killed. It was certainly a matter of caution, but he didn’t want to give up everything he’d ever achieved, and the dream.
Therefore, he just kept alert and had only prepared for it. He still had the same dream, preparing to guard against an attacker.
‘What on earth is this Kim Tae-hoon?’ But now his dream was blurring for the first time.
Kim Tae-hoon, the man who had killed the dragon, declared war in person and alone in Taipei City, Taiwan on December 2nd.
Often, in the history of war, civilians were informed of an attack in order to reduce death tolls prior to the massive bombardment and air raids, but it had never been done in the history of human war like Kim Tae-hoon, who appeared in the center of the city alone and gave notice of the attack with his own voice.
What was even more surprising was that he started the war alone, and now the war situation was overwhelmingly directed toward Kim Tae-hoon.
‘What kind of monster can do this? What kind of monster is he?’
Even Kim Tae-hoon’s tactics, which were reported in real time, had embarrassed Li Su-kwang.
Kim Tae-hoon was moving himself openly. He ignored the concept of modern warfare that a soldier should not be a target, and he appeared in front of an armed army, ignoring the concept of numbers and firepower, and he won with simple and one-sided violence against the bullets and shells that were pouring toward him. There was no concept of tactics in Kim Tae-hoon’s movements.
‘How the hell do we stop this guy?’ It was not a tactic, so it was not possible to aim for the gap in the tactics.
“Major, Major General Li Su-kwang.” A man appeared in front of Major General Li Su-kwang urgently.
Major General Li, who confirmed the face of the subordinate who had suddenly appeared, asked instead of shouting at him, “What did Mr. Mao say?”
“Well, well…”
“Well?”
“He, he’s not there.”
“What?”
“No, no one is there, and I didn’t even see the relics that Mr. Mao kept.”
The moment he heard it, he did not dream anymore. Instead, he faced reality, a very cold reality.
“… we’ll move to the port. We’ll leave the island as soon as possible.”
5.
“Ugh…” The car that he had been riding in a while ago came to the eyes of Major General Li, who opened his eyes with a low groan. The car he was riding in was turned over like a dead frog.
There was a man near the upside-down car.
‘Kim Tae-hoon…’
Li Su-kwang had never seen Kim Tae-hoon, but he was convinced that the man in front of him was Kim Tae-hoon. Furthermore, he was sure that Kim Tae-hoon’s actions of not using tactics at all, were the result of his shaking the grass of Taiwan to pull out the Snake.
‘He stirred the bushes to surprise the snake… He did it on purpose… on purpose.’
It was the right answer. The reason why Kim showed a clear and active movement, as if he were putting on a show, was to stimulate the key commanders of the Taiwan army.
In fact, Taiwan was a place harder to attack than he thought. Just as North Korea has created countless secret underground bunkers to survive from the enemy the United States, Taiwan also had a lot of secret underground bunkers to survive from their enemy China.
Moreover, Kim knew about North Korea well, but there was not much information about Taiwan. If the VIPs of the Taiwanese military hid in the secret underground bunkers that Kim did not know about, it would be inevitably painful. So, he did this, and the trick succeeded in pulling out the biggest snake.
Kim stood in front of Li Su-kwang.
“Wait, wait—” Li Su-kwang barely squeezed his words out in front of Kim. He also used English, not Chinese.
At this moment, Li Su-kwang was calmer than Kim had thought, evidence that he was not a normal person.
Kim looked down at him without taking any other action.
“I am Major General Li Su-kwang, and I have all the military power of the Republic of China in my hands.” In front of Kim, Lee Su-kwang introduced himself. It was the most miserable introduction in the world.
“Let’s, let’s negotiate.” After completing his introduction, Li Su-kwang immediately made a proposal.
“If you will save me, I will give you full cooperation-”
“A lot of people died because of the work of the Six Snakes, and you guys would have sat at the table and applauded and delighted in it.” Of course, Kim did not intend to receive the proposal.
“Well, that’s-”
“And now you propose a deal? Do you think I’ll accept it? With the people who tried to kill me and use the dragon to destroy my country?”
The Six Snakes and Taiwan.
They had incredibly good luck. The relics in the National Palace Museum, the number of monsters appearing in Taiwan, and being an island gave them a choice of becoming a savior to the world, or a conqueror to infringe on others and reign over the world.
However, they chose the latter without hesitation among the two options, and they made a move to attack and reign over the world. Instead of reaching out to those who were hanging on the cliff and asking for help, they stepped out and trampled on the hands of the people barely holding on.
Kim did not intend to ask why they acted. He just came here for revenge of those who were killed by the choices of the Six Snakes, and to administer judgment for the choice.
“Nevertheless, it’s good to save me.”
However, in front of Kim, Li Su-kwang repeatedly proposed negotiations. It was a matter of his life, and at the same time, he knew his worth better than anyone else.
“I’ll give you information! Information… eub eub!”
Kim said quietly, after blocking the mouth of Li Su-kwang with the Golden Web, “That’s why I will keep you alive, to get information.”

-The situation is terrible. Kim Tae-hoon is attacking the mainland of Taiwan.-
The faces of those who listened to the story of the Okjo were hard.
‘Nonsense.’
‘How could this be…?’
The story that the Okjo relayed was so unbelievable.
‘Who can believe that an individual has won an overwhelming victory against a nation?’
But Mao was not surprised by the story because he was expecting it. ‘As expected, if he is a human being who has killed a dragon, he’ll have to show this much.’
He knew so well that Taiwan could not do anything to the great monster that had been a monster before the monsters appeared, the monster that had been a monster after the monsters appeared, and now a monster that had even eaten a Dragon. Rather, he was satisfied.
‘I see Kim Tae-hoon attacked Taiwan much later than I thought… he expected us to run away. And he gave up chasing us and decided to clean up Taiwan first.’
The fact that Kim Tae-hoon attacked Taiwan later than he thought meant that Kim would give up chasing him and destroy Taiwan alone. In other words, Mao had succeeded in escaping from a monster called Kim Tae-hoon.
There were more reasons for Mao to be satisfied with this situation.
‘I’ve got all the relics.’ He had taken the important relics, and all the powerful relics he had collected so far.
“Mr. Mao, Major Chinshan is here.”
“Mr. Mao, I’m seeing you for the first time.”
And he also had powerful Awakeners, to bring out the value of the relics at 100 percent.
“Major Chinshan! It’s good to see you like this.”
Furthermore, Mao knew that he had nothing to lose now. So far, he had a lot of things to lose. However, he has nothing to lose now that he has lost enough.
“I have destroyed the Great Wall as ordered.”
“Good work, it could not have been easy.”
“The Qin Shi Huang Sword, the new sword, was very helpful, and so we didn’t have to worry about our lack of troops.”
“And what about the movements of the monsters?”
“The monsters that have been waiting for the Great Wall to collapse are crossing the Great Wall, and some of them are expected to head toward the Korean Peninsula.”
“I suppose so.”
From now on, Kim Tae-hoon would be a man who would keep a lot of things. He would not have time to worry about other places as he had to protect his country from the monsters that were coming.
“Where would you rather go?”
“We are going to move to Moscow along the Siberian railway, and then we are going to England.”
That amount of time would change the winner and loser again. There was no doubt that it would happen.
“I’ll be home in a year.” His home ground was not Taiwan.
7.
“Kill him!”
Taipei City.
The capital of Taiwan, where violence was now raging, screaming and bloody. At the center of the violence were the Taiwanese.
Soldiers and civilians.
The two groups, pointing their guns at each other, began to fight a civil war of life-and-death.
It was a natural procedure. In the situation where the soldiers who maintained order with strong violence were completely collapsed by Kim Tae-hoon, the civilians who had been persecuted could not stay still. They began to spit out their anger in the most violent way after being suppressed for nearly a year.
Kim Tae-hoon was watching the scene. It was proof of their determination. What he did today was a judge with a justification, but that did not mean that he could become a warrior of justice. He knew that fact better than anyone else. He had no right to ignore the sight, and he had no intention of turning away.
‘Mao.’
Therefore, Kim made his determination stronger by watching the scene in front of him. Furthermore, he reminded himself of what he should do and what he should be again, in front of the scene.
‘If you think of me as a hero and play a trick about it, you will surely die to me.’
On December 2, 2017, the day of judgment was over.
8.
Pyongyang.
It was hard to find the past image after it had become a city of the Republic of Korea, no longer the capital of North Korea. The most prominent new thing was the presence of Torii, which had once been seen at the entrance of the Japanese shrine. The red Torii were showing their presence everywhere in Pyongyang, like utility poles.
Around the planted Torii were tanks and self-propelled guns, and the soldiers and Awakeners who were fully armed around them were refilling.
‘Once we build a Maginot Line.’
It was a way which Colonel Lim Hyun-joon prepared, to protect Pyongyang and Korea from monsters. It was a wise method.
‘The Torii weakens the monster’s power after injecting Mana, and at the same time creates a protective area around itself. In such a protective field, resistance to the fear increases greatly. Even if some appropriate monsters appear, it will be a situation where we can use close to 100 percent of our firepower.’
Furthermore, it was not the only thing that Colonel Lim had prepared.
“I’ll report, the dragon armor and the dragon bone lance made from the dragon, and the leather armor made from the Eight-tailed Fox, have arrived from the Mac Workshop in Bucheon.”
“They have finally arrived, I’ll check them right away. Please tell the Head of the Mac Workshop, ‘Thank you for making them so fast, and I’ll send you the results after checking the power of the prototype goods.'”
“Yes!”
Colonel Lim planned to do everything he could on the final defense line in Pyongyang. He was going to test the power of the powerful items that were now being created. He would not be satisfied with winning the battle and surviving, but he was going to grow and develop everything based on the battle.
‘I won’t just bleed.’
One of his men came up to him. The soldier was wearing thicker clothes than the other soldiers, and although Pyongyang, which had entered December, was cold, it would be a little overdone in Pyongyang in December. But it was not a strange outfit.
“We are reporting on the search for the Rason Special Economic Zone.”
They were the ones who had returned after the end of the search for the Rason Special Economic Zone, the northernmost in North Korea, which was located in front of the Tumen River. That was why his thick clothing was not strange.
“Report.”
“We have not found any surviving North Korean residents in the Rason Special Economic Zone.”
Colonel Lim was convinced after the soldier’s report. ‘It’s over.’ The fact that there were no survivors of North Korea even at the northernmost point meant that there were no survivors of North Korean ancestry anymore.
“But we contacted a group of Awakeners from Russia during the search.” There were survivors, not North Koreans.
“Russia?”
“Yes, they expressed their intentions to cooperate in any way, and to be protected by the Republic of Korea. In addition, one of them identified herself as a member of the Russian SSO Unit.”
“SSO?” Colonel Lim responded for the first time. The SSO Unit was worthy of that reaction.
“Yes.”
‘A member of the Special Forces of the Russian Defense Ministry…’
The Special Forces of the Russian Defense Ministry.
If someone was a soldier, he would have to respond to the Unit like that.
“Once you disarm them, investigate thoroughly.”
Of course, Colonel Lim did not intend to believe what they were saying right away.
“Investigate thoroughly. You can push them to the limit. If you see anything strange, you can kill them right away on the spot.” Colonel Lim didn’t want to show them a favor of mercy and kindness. “I’ll take responsibility for everything.”
“Yes!”
It was the surest way to protect his country in this world.
