Ty Tom!

[A Windless Day]

October, that day was approaching.

The Korean Mana Management Organization located in Jongno District.

The building was remodeled from the main building of the Seoul City Hall, which had been transformed into the Yellow Dungeon during the <End of the Century Destruction>, while preserving the landscape of Deoksugung Palace.

5th-floor common conference room at the building.

Players who possessed an unusual amount of mana, despite not carrying weapons, were seated.

Those gathered in the common conference room included the central figures responsible for mana management, as well as the leaders of clans that had received S-rank and A-rank qualifications in the New Year, and representatives of small-scale player alliances.

Now, lets begin the briefing for the Uijeongbu Reclamation Battle.

Those present in this meeting were individuals who held command authority in the upcoming Uijeongbu Reclamation Battle in mid-October.

However, not all of them had equal authority.

The common conference room was structured to categorize those with command authority into three groups.

First, tables were prepared where six people could sit on both sides near the screen.

Then, there was a seat that faced the screen, where twelve people could sit facing each other.

The seat facing the screen was reserved for Im Gaeul, the Fairy, who held the highest command authority in the Uijeongbu Reclamation. Currently, she was absent from the meeting due to other commitments.

In practice, those planning and leading the Uijeongbu Reclamation were the Twelve Seats.

Of course, not all Twelve Seats were present.

The Twelve Seat <Divine Spear>, Nam gung seong, had lost his left arm in the process of defeating the second-rank Overranked Leviathan, and was recuperating in Cheongju.

The reason he still occupied one of the twelve seats, even though he was effectively retired, was so as not to adversely affect public opinion on the recapture of Uijeongbu.

The twelfth seat, Yoon Sung-jin <Index>, was also absent.

Alone to oversee the flow of mana throughout Seoul, he rarely ventured outside the top floor of the government building unless it was for a specific reason.

Finally, the Twelfth Seat <Demon Bullet> Son Ji-hee was monitoring Uijeongbu.

The reclamation force will depart from Dobongsan Station, enter the outer ring road of Goo, cross Jangam Bridge, and overlap with Pyeonghwa Road, where it will split into two divisions.

The people seated in the middle of the common conference room, including the man who stood up from his seat, were officials from the Mana Management Organization.

While they were the second-highest in terms of command authority, the majority of their roles focused on administration and logistics.

They would likely not be directly commanding divisions in the liberation battle.

Those with real command authority were the ones directly leading the situation and managing the clans within the divisions.

Seated at the head of the table, they listened attentively to the briefing.

Here, Division A will occupy Uijeongbu City Hall by passing through Pyeonghwa Road via Ho-won High School. Division B will head to Uijeongbu Station and subjugate the monsters.

Through this, Division A and Division B will put pressure on Uijeongbu City Hall from both directions.

Division As role will be the first wedge to successfully conclude the reclamation battle.

Division B will pass through the route where Mangwol Bridge and Line 1 used to run, entering Hwaryong Station. Here, Division B will be split into B, C, D, and E.

The clan leaders closely examined the Uijeongbu map being presented by the Director of Intelligence.

They had the authority to organize divisions and command the clans within them, and they were all lost in thought.

Which division should they choose to minimize damage and maximize gains?

Division A carried the highest risk.

Division As role was to attack the enemys core without any supply support.

While Division A received the largest number of personnel allocations, the fact remained that they had to take on the greatest risk.

If they were thinking about the future of their clans, there would be no one here willing to support Division A.

Unless they were insane.

A is going to be fun.

The clan leaders immediately turned their attention in the direction of the voice that had just been heard, their suspicions pointed toward each other.

Although they didnt reveal their emotions, they directed their gazes toward the source of the sound.

The man munching on the candy was a Sublord of the Blaze Clan.

Fight-madcrazy bastards.

Muttering to themselves, the Clan lords glanced over at Kang Hyun-chul, one of the Twelve, sitting across from them.

He ran a hand through his red-dyed hair,Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

A, were taking that. If I cant have it, I wont stand still.

It was the Blaze Clan after all.

A clan that had only been around for a few years, but had earned an S- for completing missions that were often so dangerous that they cost them their lives.

The assembled Clan Lords were relieved to see a clan of lunatics willing to take a risk.

There was still one more spot open in the A-division.

Division B will set up camp at Hwaryong Station.

Hwaryong Station is the last line of defense in the battle to retake Uijeongbu, and we plan to use it as a supply base.

Therefore, Minister Moon will be in charge of supply and will oversee the B Division, which will protect the last line.

A supply base.

In a battle where you dont know how long it will take, supply is crucial.

Moon Joon <Unbreakable Shield>, a living myth in South Korea, would not allow the last line to collapse.

As important as the role was, it was also relatively safe.

However, the Clan Lords didnt want to be in charge of B Division.

Uijeongbu was nothing short of a treasure trove.

He wouldnt have access to the Player Library either.

The Twelve Seats participating in

The elderly man, who had remained silent until then, spoke up.

He was the Minister of the Korean Mana Management Organization and the leader of the Twelve Seats, <Unbreakable Shieldl> Moon Joon. He gazed down at the assembly from his imposing position.

Twelfth Seat player Shin Seoyoung.

Yes.

Clan Lord Shin Seoyoung, a sub-lord of the Changhae Clan and the <Divine Wind> among the Twelve Seats, responded.

Twelve Seats Player Shin Myunghwan.

Tempest Clans Clan Lord and the <Railgun> among the Twelve Seats, Shin Myunghwan, nodded.

Twelve Seats Player Bang Yeon ji.

Yes.

Clan Lord Bang Yeonji, a sub-lord of the Myungwangs Clan and the <Florist> among the Twelve Seats, replied.

Twelve Seats Player Oh Geonhoo.

Oh Geonhu, the Director of the Telepathy Division of the Korean Mana Management Organization and the <Heavenly Sound> among the Twelve Seats, closed his eyes.

Twelve Seats Player Son Jihee.

Twelve Seats Player Lee Do jin.

Twelve Seats Kang Hyun-chul.

Twelve Seats Park Hye-rim.

And finally-.

Players hesitated each time the names of the Twelve Seats were called in succession.

All the Twelve Seats who could move were mentioned.

Even if they had to leave behind the absolute minimum force, the momentum of the Fairy governments determination to retake Uijeongbu was clear.

I, Twelve Seats Moon Joon. A total of nine Seats will participate.

Nine Twelve Seats participating in the Uijeongbu retrieval.

They were players known for their excellence in various fields. While they might not be the absolute strongest, if they combined their strengths with the top players, it might be possible to defeat the high-ranked monsters currently occupying Uijeongbu.

Well then, lets begin the meeting about division organization. If anyone has questions

The questions were mostly done. The Intelligence Director of the Information Division was about to move on to the next topic when a man who had remained silent until now raised his hand.

The man with the multiple shiny rings was named Gil Sung-joon.

He was the Clan Lord of Changhae.

Yes, Changhae Clan Lord. What can I do for you?

Well do it.

What?

The Intelligence director asked, hearing the words he said.

Shin Seoyoung, who was closer to the screen, opened her mouth, not expecting him to speak so suddenly.

Regardless, under the stares, Gil Sung-joon spoke.

Gyeonggi Northern Government Center will be attacked by the Changhae Clan.

A battle of Clan Lords had begun amidst the Twelve Seats intense focus.

The meeting did not end on a cordial note.

Since the topic of the meeting was division formation, it was expected that it would not end well, but in the process of deploying the divisions, they were about to manifest mana and engage in combat.

If Fairy Im Gaeul hadnt appeared in time, the mana battle between the Changhae Clan and the Silla Clan might have turned into a clan war.

Ugh.

Shin Seoyoung sighed heavily as soon as she left the government building.

After the meeting was over, there was one more meeting centered around the Fairy Government and the Twelve Seats.

She hadnt done anything since the final meeting, but she felt drained.

Can I really do this?

As the sword, the guardian that protects the nation, she must not show weakness.

But she was worried about whether she could do a good job.

More precisely, whether she and Gil Sung-joon would not cause friction there.

That made her anxious.

As if in response to her thoughts, the wind that blew through the skyscrapers trembled uneasily.

It made a whining sound, like the wind was crying. However, it was just the wind.

I hope no one diesI hope no one gets hurt.

An improbable wish.

She looked up at the skyscrapers and muttered.

Huh?

Thats when her phone vibrated.

Wondering what was going on, she pulled it out and frowned at the caller.

Euna should be at the academy by now Why is she calling me again?

She felt a little uneasy.

No, very uneasy.

This was the hardest chapter I have ever done (so many names mentioned TT). Enjoy!
