The vibration of their boots stepping in unison shook the ground.  

The legion’s full-scale assault on the military zone has begun.  

A city where many monsters have settled.  

The legion’s strategy was quite simple.  

An ‘All-Out-War’.  

A squad of soldiers began advancing towards the military zone.  

Their surroundings were filled with asphalt buildings.  

Each and every one of them could become a hiding place for the monsters.  

In normal urban warfare, clearing the buildings alone would have taken an enormous amount of time.  

The time required for the assault would have increased, and the soldiers’ fatigue would have piled up tremendously.  

However,  

“Let’s see, the monsters are said to be gathered on the 2nd floor here.”  

“Those are the ones we caught before. Seems like they’re only in the surrounding buildings.”  

“Good. We’ll clean them up quickly and move on!”  

The soldiers, holding a map, fearlessly advanced.  

The positions of the monsters were already and almost perfectly mapped out.  

“It’s the Spirit Vision.”  

“I didn’t know the power of that woman who worships Sergeant Shin would be this strong.”  

Over the past few weeks Jeong Soo-ah with her Spirit Vision had scouted the surroundings.  

In the past, it would have been impossible for her to scout the entire military zone, but with Sergeant Shin Young-joon’s cooking, she had no trouble straining her eyes.  

Of course, that’s only effective for monsters that settle in one area.  

But in a city with thousands of wandering zombies.  

Preparing for the sudden attacks of roaming monsters is also necessary.  

And that’s why  

[Enhanced Hearing]  

Thud thud thud…  

“Footsteps of a beast from the 3 o’clock direction!”  

“It’s coming this way. Everyone, prepare to intercept.”  

While the roaming monsters attacked the squad, the squad, having detected their approach from hundreds of meters away, was able to easily handle the surprise attacks.  

The name of the dish that Sergeant Shin Young-joon fed the soldiers was,  

[Urban Warfare Specialized Full Course Meal]  

Each course dish provided abilities specialized for urban warfare.  

Not only stats, but the traits to prepare for sudden attacks as well.  

And those deployed for the assault were not just the soldiers.  

“That building has become a monster breeding ground.”  

“It’s too difficult to infiltrate and assault. The damage will be high.”  

“Then what.”  

Thud thud thud thud…  

The sound of unstoppable treads ruthlessly trampling obstructions can be heard.  

Appearing before them were the formidable armored vehicles.  

They serve both as mobile barricades providing temporary strongholds for the soldiers, and at the same time,  

“Let’s just blow it away.”  

Also acts as moving gun turrets.  

“Fire!”  

Boooooooooooom….  

Under the artillery fire of the tanks, modified by the engineers, followed by the concentrated firepower of the mages.  

The small building that was said to be completely overrun by monsters did not take long to be demolished.  

Across the military zone, traces of shells and magic decorated the sky.  

The firepower that had been suppressed until now, due to the concern that the sound would draw the enemies, has been fully unleashed.  

***  

At that moment,  

“This is where we are, and if you look here, there’s a market.”  

In another place, a squad was pushing deep into the inner part of the military zone.  

It was the squad that had advanced the deepest among the legion’s forces.  

“Ah, this is the place where the monster colony was formed.”  

“It’s going to be tricky.”  

“It’s better to avoid this side…”  

The squad members expressed their concerns, but the squad leader encouraged them, saying, “It won’t be easy but seems like we are the only ones who have entered this far.”  

“That’s true, but…”  

“This market. Not only is it wide, but it also occupies the center of the military zone, and there are many passages. If we can break through here, the advance of the other squads will be much easier.”  

“Hmm…”  

“For the sake of the other comrades, we have to do this.”  

At those words, the soldiers let out a small sigh, then smiled wryly and said,  

“Well, there’s no choice.”  

“The worst that can happen is that we might die, right?”  

When the determined soldiers began planning the operation to enter the market,  

“Ah, Corporal Kim!”  

“Huh?”  

From far away, a soldier from another squad was approached and addressed them.  

The soldier was calmly waving his hand as he approached.  

The problem was,  

“You… how did you come from that side?”  

The place the soldier came from was the very market they were prepared to risk their lives to assault.  

Corporal Kim asked with wide eyes,  

“Don’t tell me, did your squad clear that market?”  

The fact that he came from the market meant he had subdued the monsters there.  

It was a natural assumption, but  

“No, that’s not the case.”  

His answer was quite the opposite.  

“Our squad isn’t as strong as Corporal Kim’s, so it would be impossible.”  

“Then how did you come from there? According to the map information, there was supposed to be a large monster colony.”  

Hearing that, the soldier answered as if he was the one curious.  

“Our squad also entered with a lot of tension, but there wasn’t a single monster inside.”  

“What?”  

“There were traces of the monsters having been there, and signs of a fierce battle… So, we naturally assumed your squad had cleared it. Among the squads that advanced this far, yours was the only one, so…”  

“We didn’t. We were just starting to discuss how to assault it.”  

“Then, who…?”  

The soldiers looked at each other, puzzled.  

While they were puzzling over this,  

In another place, a report was being made.  

“As ordered, I have completed the mission and returned.”
