Then Liz pointed out the window of her car and said:

She said, “It’s still bright, so I might be able to see it.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s Serpent. Sometimes I see them swimming on the shore. When an aircraft passes by, it hears the sound and sometimes appears above the surface.”

Jung Daesik heard those words and looked out over the sea outside his window.

Usually, a large number of ships can be seen on the sea near the land, but there were no ships in the Hawaiian Islands due to the tyranny of the Serpent.

Instead, I saw something gushing through the water near the land.

‘That’s a serpent!’

Serpent, who looked like a mixture of snake and cutlassfish, flipped over and slammed onto the surface of the water before falling back into the sea.

It was so large that it was clearly visible even in the high sky.

Jung Daesik saw the scene and said, unknowingly, in admiration.

“What size did you say he was?”

Liz said, shaking her body like it was terrible.

“I know it’s at least 200 feet tall.”

200 feet is over 60 meters long.

Thinking it was huge indeed, Jung Daesik clenched his fists.

Moments later, the plane landed at the airfield located at the Honolulu Defense Base.

When they got off the plane, a man who at first glance thought he was an officer was waiting to meet them with a group of soldiers.

Also standing next to them was a figure believed to be the commander of the Phoenix raid, accompanied by several members.

“Welcome to Hawaii, Mr. All-in-One.”

The officer who came to shake hands with a smile was a whopping four stars.

Jung Daesik straightened his posture and met his handshake.

“It’s nice to meet you. I don’t know where to put myself, since the commander directly welcomes me.”

“It is a natural courtesy for the owner to welcome guests who come to my house. I have come a long way for a dangerous mission, so I want you to feel safe while you are here.”

“thank you.”

“This is the Phoenix raid team that will clear the monsters with the contingent.”

As expected by Jung Daesik, the man with the blonde hair was the commander of the Phoenix raid.

He looked quite old, as Liz said.

He looked to be in his mid-40s, but surprisingly he might have been older or younger.

He, too, has expressed his gratitude to Jung Daesik by first shaking hands.

“Thank you for accepting our request and coming this far. My name is Adam Kirkland. Please call me Adam.”

“no. As an ally, I think that’s what we should do. My name is Jung Daesik.”

“I didn’t know that I would see with my own eyes an all-in-one capable person during my lifetime.”

“It is an honor to meet someone who is a hero among the first generation Awoken.”

“You’re a hero, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard those words.”

After a brief greeting, Captain Anderson took them home.

Passing by the helicopters lined up at the airfield, Jung Daesik discovered an impressive weapon that surrounded the entire base.

Seeing the elongated snout out in the air, Jung Daesik posed a question to Captain Anderson.

“It looks like that’s the MFP.”

“That’s right.”

“I don’t think it’s always running.”

“It requires a lot of energy to run all the time. All of the power generation facilities here in Honolulu have been destroyed, and the MFPs are unable to draw enough power. That’s why we always monitor our surroundings and only use it when a monster approaches.”

“I’d love to see it in action once.”

“Would you like to see it right now?”

“Is it possible?”

“Available. Come this way.”

Captain Anderson took the party to the watchtower where the MFP was installed.

The watchtower stood on top of the pillars of the iron wall surrounding the defense base, so just looking at it was magnificent.

Soon after, Captain Anderson, who was handed a radio from a soldier, sent instructions to the watchtower.

Soon, as the MFP’s ejection vents moved upwards, a buzzing and loud engine noise was heard.

It wasn’t long before the MFP vibrated and a wave resembling an electromagnetic pulse flashed out toward the exit opening, emitting a flash of light.

Grip support support!

Seeing the scene, Jung Daesik showed admiration for Captain Anderson, who had a proud expression on his face.

“That’s great. That’s impressive. A weapon that can fight monsters without magic. That’s great.”

“From now on, this device will play an active part in the battle against monsters. If the magic power generation problem is solved, it will be effective for city defense against monster break.”

“Are you saying that the MFP needs power generation to operate at all times?”

“That’s right. Or you need a reactor, and as you know, building a reactor for a monster break is nonsense. Monsters are not greatly affected by radiation, but humans are different.”

When the first monster break occurred, there was a huge loss of life due to the nuclear influence.

The nuclear powers, feeling a sense of crisis, fired nuclear weapons when the first monster they had ever seen threatened humanity.

As a result, it did not inflict a critical hit on the monster.

Nuclear weapons were actually more dangerous to humans.

Several monsters attacked the nuclear power plant, and in the process, the nuclear reactor melted uncommonly.

Japan’s failure to defend its nuclear power plant was the reason why Japan suffered a major blow from the 1st Monster Break.

In addition, Russia, China, India and the United States suffered heavy damage from the destruction of nuclear power plants.

Korea had the largest number of nuclear reactors in the world, but fortunately, the outstanding awakened quickly defeated the monsters and succeeded in protecting the nuclear power plant with the life-threatening activities of the reserve forces.

However, as long as monsters exist, mankind cannot safely manage nuclear reactors.

Now that even oil and coal have been exhausted and the dangers of nuclear power have become more prominent, the only hope of mankind is power generation.

That is why the whole world is concentrating on developing magic crystals and extracting magical powers.

And now it was closely related to the problem of fighting monsters.

“You will soon see MFPs put into action. Shall we go then?”

The contingent was guided to a lodging located beneath the defense base.

Jung Daesik could not help but marvel at the formidable facilities of the defensive base.

I know it hasn’t been long since he recaptured Honululu, and it’s surprising that he’s already built a base of this size.

「This defense base is designed so that it will not be shaken by any attack of monsters. The entire building is made of a special alloy mixed with Oricalcum.”

“Is it Orichalcum?”

“You can think of it as a kind of mysterious metal Orichalcon. Dungeons on the American continent tend to have a lot of Orichalcons. It is similar to the amount of mithril in Europe and adamantium in China and Russia.”

“Even so, it wouldn’t have been easy to build a base like this in a short period of time, right?”

“Of course, there was help from talented people. We received a lot of help from the European Union’s Supernatural Powers Federation.”

After traveling for some time on the moving walk, the contingent arrived at their accommodation.

Underneath the defensive base was a residential area for the garrison, and the contingent took up an entire wing.

「The cafeteria and various amenities are located on each floor, and you can eat at any time. Each room has its own bathroom, so you can use it, or please note that there is a separate shared shower room. Supplies necessary for daily life are provided in each room, and the key to access is here.”Capt. Anderson, who handed out an access key to each of them, told them to call him whenever he needed or had any questions.

And he looked at Jung Daesik and added a word.

He said, “The head of the Phoenix Institute of Technology said how about having an operation meeting at six o’clock in the evening.”

“all right. Where can I go?”

「You can use the conference room in Building F.」

Captain Anderson left, and Jung Daesik summoned Kim Si-on and asked him to attend the 6 o’clock operation meeting.

He then unpacked in his assigned room, took a brief shower, and went to dine with his crew.

The buffet-style meal was quite good, so I ate more than I expected.

Jung Daesik looked at the clock, sweeping his stomach about to explode, thinking that he had somehow developed a craving for food after writing Yamafan.

Suddenly, it was six o’clock, and Jung Daesik and Kim Si-on went to the conference room in Building F.

* * *

The operational meeting was short.

Since Adam, the Phoenix Engineer, had already laid out everything that could be called a plan, Jung Daesik and Kim Si-on were close to listening to the explanation.

He has been here since he first built this defensive base, so he knew the surrounding terrain and the characteristics of monsters as if he were looking at the palm of his hand.

So, the meeting ended with Jung Daesik making a few remarks.

As he left the conference room, Adam patted Jung Daesik on the shoulder and said:

“I have high expectations for the performance of the Fenrir unit tomorrow. Let’s have a good time.”

“of course. We will make sure to retake Molokai Island tomorrow.”

Tomorrow’s operation to retake Molokai has only one purpose.

It was to land on Molokai Island and install an MFP in the old center village.

For 24 hours after the installation of the MFP was completed, it was necessary to defend the surroundings and clear the monsters in Mauna Loa and Kamakou.

The contingent was first deployed to Kamakou and took on the role of attracting attention.

If the contingent dragged the monsters into Kamakou, the Phoenix Raid, a latecomer, would escort the military base to install the MFP and land at Kaunakakai Port.

If the monsters notice the MFP installation and rush towards it, the Phoenix Raid and Fenrir units will push them from both sides and drive them away.

And when the MFP installation is complete, it was planned to shoot out monster extermination pulses to base the village, and the Phoenix Raid and Fenrir units would attack and wipe out the monsters on the island.

Adam said that while installing the MFP, the resistance of the monsters would be fierce.

The monsters here in the Hawaiian Islands are aware of the existence of the MFP, and have carried out a surprise attack to destroy the MFP at the Honolulu base several times.

However, after many failures, it seems that they have recently given up on Oahu altogether.

All the monsters on Oahu had moved to Molokai Island and told an incredible story.
