Infiltration Operation (1)

Around 6 PM, Sujeong arrived.

Perhaps because the days were longer, darkness hadn’t fallen yet, and the sun was slowly setting in the west.

“Daddy!”

“Oh, Sujeong!”

Sujeong ran and hugged me with tiny steps.

Lee Seulgi watched Sujeong and tilted her head.

“Why is the young lady here?”

“I’m going to the Karen Continent too, Auntie!”

“What did you say!?”

Normally, Lee Seulgi would have been furious at being called ‘Auntie,’ but she looked at me with an expression of disbelief.

How should I explain this?

“Sujeong is about to reach the 5th Circle [a level of magical proficiency].”

“5th Circle or whatever, are you taking an eight-year-old child to the battlefield?”

“Hmm. Once she reaches the 5th Circle, there’s almost no chance of getting hurt. If a dangerous situation arises, she’ll teleport immediately.”

“Even so…….”

“We agreed that if she can’t reach the 5th Circle, she’ll come back.”

“Since it’s a decision made by you, I shouldn’t say anything… but I have to. You’re fully aware of the danger, right?”

“Auntie! Sujeong begged me to take her! I’m fully aware of the danger too, so stop it.”

“What did you say!?”

“Don’t get so worked up. You’ll get wrinkles. You haven’t even gotten married yet, and if you get all wrinkled, men won’t like you.”

“…….”

That’s Sujeong for you.

In any case, Lee Seulgi was against Sujeong going to the Karen Continent, which is why Sujeong was on edge. If I were to object, there would be no solution.

Knowing that, she pushed hard.

“And Sujeong will wear armor too. Shields will automatically be layered, so what could happen? Also! Sujeong knows a lot about strategy, so she’ll be a great help.”

“Ugh. How much does she know about strategy?”

“She’s mastered Sun Tzu’s *Art of War*, *Six Secret Teachings*, *Wu Tzu*, *Wei Liao Tzu*, *Sima Fa*, *Tang Taizong’s Questions and Replies with Li Wei Gong*, *Comprehensive Military Treatise*, *Jixiao Xinshu*, *Lianbing Shiji*, *Spring and Autumn Annals*, *Mencius*, *Zhuangzi*, *Han Feizi*, *Lüshi Chunqiu*, *Hundred Schools of Thought*, *Guanzi*, *Zhuge Liang’s Collection*, *Zhenguan Zhengyao*, and *Zizhi Tongjian*?”

“Uh……. What?”

Lee Seulgi seemed speechless.

In other words, she had mastered almost all the well-known military books.

Perhaps Sujeong had completely memorized and applied dozens of military books. So, Lee Seulgi had no choice but to be speechless.

While she was completely dumbfounded, Sujeong asked a pointed question.

“Won’t the President be suspicious about today’s events?”

“What do you mean?”

“It doesn’t make sense to master drone and helicopter controls in half a day. And with perfect theory, the President will be suspicious.”

“If he’s suspicious?”

“Hehe. Then it’s even better.”

“Better?”

“Daddy won’t be taken lightly.”

Sujeong was right.

I roughly knew that the performance of the military androids being supplied by the Korean government wasn’t at its maximum.

If they shared even a little information with the United States, they would know that the military androids had only about 10% of my capabilities.

If Colonel Kim reports here that the android’s performance is very high, it would actually be advantageous for me.

“I wonder if Colonel Kim Dae-su is reporting by now?”

“From what I’ve heard, that person seems like just a soldier, so he’ll probably report the truth. He’ll say what he saw and felt.”

“And that will create a favorable situation for me.”

“Yes!”

A smile spread across my face.

It was Sujeong, as expected.

When something happens, she thinks about the consequences and ripple effects. It was truly the attitude of a genius.

What kind of amazing strategy will Sujeong come up with when she goes to the Karen Continent?

Honestly, although it’s dangerous, if Sujeong becomes my strategist, I couldn’t ask for anything more.

“Then let’s slowly move on.”

“Hehe, I’m excited.”

Sujeong twisted her body, looking very excited.

Well, any black magician would want to set foot in the origin. Lee Seulgi still didn’t seem to understand.

“Secretary Lee, please take care of the company while I’m gone.”

“I don’t know!”

“Hey, don’t get hurt by what a kid said.”

“Hmph! Is the young lady just a kid?”

I shrugged my shoulders once.

Such nagging only increased my devotion to my daughter.

The Blue House of South Korea.

So-called Blue Roof [the presidential residence, analogous to the White House].

It was no exaggeration to say that the power of Korea came from this Blue Roof.

Colonel Kim Dae-jin was suddenly summoned to the Blue House.

He wondered if he had done something wrong, but the President, who hadn’t left work until this late hour, asked an unexpected question.

“Colonel Kim? How were the cadets there?”

“Yes?”

“Tell me what you saw and felt. What level of skill do the cadets have?”

“Um.”

Kim Dae-jin paused to recall.

There was only one word to define them.

“Geniuses, Your Excellency.”

“Geniuses?”

“I can’t explain it any other way. In my 20 years of military service, I’ve never seen such great geniuses.”

“Are they human?”

“They seemed human.”

“Do you have any basis for that?”

“The basis… I don’t have any. Other than Chairman Lee Yu-seong’s remarks.”

“It seems like you’re saying you’re not sure.”

“I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s okay. Colonel Kim is a typical soldier and only carried out the orders he received. Originally, such work should be done by the intelligence agency, but in fact, it’s too much of a burden to attach intelligence agents to Chairman Lee Yu-seong.”

“Is that so.”

Kim Dae-jin had a blank expression.

In fact, he didn’t have any particular thoughts. He thought it was a bit strange, but unless he was in the intelligence agency, there was no need to think deeply.

He was more accustomed to passing down orders from above to below, although he might become a general.

“You’ve worked hard. Go and rest.”

“Loyalty!”

Kim Dae-jin saluted and left the office.

Lee Han-jin, left alone in the President’s office, frowned.

“So it was like that.”

He had heard that the completed form of the android possessed truly great abilities.

It wasn’t for nothing that the central parts of the United States and Russia were breached.

They were all kidnapped, and it seemed they had signed humiliating treaties with Chairman Lee Yu-seong for some reason.

If so.

“Korea could take the hegemony [leadership or dominance].”

Ambition stirred in Lee Han-jin’s heart.

It was an opportunity for Korea to move beyond being an economic power and become a military powerhouse.

The numerous restrictions on Korea could be lifted, and if that happened, no one would be able to look down on Korea.

“In the end, the answer lies with Chairman Lee Yu-seong.”

How much could he elevate Korea during his term?

With three years left in his term, he had to establish a foundation for Korea to become a superpower within that time.

The outskirts of the Arden Territory.

I sent drones to map the border area and ordered them to march 40km a day. So, they should have reached the border of the Arden Territory by now.

It took half a day to get to the central city from here, so it was right to set up a camp around here for tomorrow’s battle.

As soon as they arrived, a large camp was spread out.

“Ooh!”

“The Heavenly Army has arrived!”

Drones, helicopters, and various equipment entered the camp one after another.

The soldiers on guard saluted, and the black magicians under my command gathered to greet me.

They were momentarily stunned by the sight of Sujeong wearing armor. It was because Sujeong had come to such a battlefield.

But they soon erased that look.

“Young lady, have you arrived?”

“We meet the young lady.”

“Hello? Nice to meet you. I’m Sujeong!”

Sujeong waved her hand to her subordinates.

She was using translation magic, so she would have heard the murmuring around her.

Sujeong smiled brightly and greeted them.

“Everyone has worked hard.”

Counts Amon and Luyan also found me and approached.

Count Luyan greeted me happily.

“Heavenly Lord, you’ve arrived!”

“Were there any problems?”

“There weren’t any! There were a few undead attacks during the march, but we easily defeated them with the help of the Heavenly Army warriors!”

“I see.”

“But this person is…….”

They also seemed curious about Sujeong’s existence.

I answered nonchalantly. If I were embarrassed here, I might lose trust.

“She’s my daughter and strategist.”

“Heo!”

“Your daughter!?”

“Yes. She’s also a strategist who is well-versed in military strategy.”

“The Heavenly Lord’s daughter. How much is she that she’s a strategist in such a young form…….”

“Hey. How dare you judge the age of a celestial being with human standards? That’s rude.”

“Ah, that’s right.”

Counts Amon and Luyan are close friends. They completed the academy together in their childhood and have been friends ever since.

Although Amon’s territory was destroyed, the fact that they were friends did not change.

Sujeong smiled and clapped her hands as if she liked this situation.

Clap clap!

“Then shall we have a strategy meeting!?”

“A strategy… meeting?”

“Yes! Sujeong has come up with a good strategy!”

“W-well, let’s do that.”

People were somewhat embarrassed.

But the black magicians soon regained their composure. They knew that Sujeong was a rare mutant born among geniuses.

Commanders gathered in the conference barracks.

Only the executives of the black magicians gathered, and only the retainers of the Amon and Luyan families gathered.

Even so, the barracks were packed.

Sujeong stood confidently in front of the map.

Here, Sujeong was floating in the air, which was the 5th Circle high-level magic, Fly. Sujeong’s circles had already split into five, and she only needed to put in a little effort to completely fill them.

The black magicians’ eyes flashed with different colors.

If she was in the 5th Circle at that age, they couldn’t imagine what would happen when she got older.

And the people here were busy praising her as a celestial being.

“Okay, then Sujeong will explain the operation. This is the Arden Territory, and I heard it’s about to be occupied. Is that right?”

“Ah, yes. As a result of reconnaissance with drones, the troops on the walls are isolated, and the city center has already been occupied. But fortunately, most of the territory’s residents have evacuated to the lord’s castle and shelters.”

“Good. Then let’s infiltrate when the sun rises and the enemies weaken.”

Calbern tilted his head.

“Infiltrate?”

“There’s no reason for our army, which has powerful forces, to dawdle, right? So, when the sun rises, if 50,000 go to the city center and 50,000 strike the rear, it’ll be easily resolved, right?”

“……!”
