Chapter 285 A Prelude to War
Jaeyoung and Haimer spent a month hiding in Cervenian's Lair.
During that time, a strange and bizarre wind blew through the situation on the Japanese continent.
-The time has come to avenge the humiliation suffered by the Japanese continent!
-If we all join forces and attack all at once, even the JoXjing guys won't be able to do anything.
-Let's advance north with the Shoen Empire! Before the Empire of Japan, there will be only the glory of victory!
- Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Japanese Empire!
Posts that have engulfed bulletin boards in Japan. Although the articles were written and posted on different accounts, they were constantly talking about similar content and topics as if they had promised.
-Let's all join forces and attack the Korean continent!
Their collective movement to unite and dominate the Korean continent. At first, people who saw the nonsensical article snorted and made sarcastic remarks.
- Suddenly what kind of war?
-Well..... Do I really have to do that? It's annoying
- there's no good reward, and there's no benefit to doing that.
Users who enjoy games simply because they like Arcadia and virtual reality. For them, the article asking them to invade another continent without any great reward or profit was just absurd bullshit, so they lightly ignored it, but the comments on these articles had a slightly different atmosphere.
-that's right. How much damage have we suffered because of these bastards?
- The Shouen Empire, which used to be fine, was taken over by those fucking pirates.
-I joined the main scenario at that time, but was swept away by a tsunami and threw away rare items.
- Just thinking about our guild hideout that disappeared to ashes in Baylan... My teeth grind.
- Come to think of it, is that so? Didn't those damn bastards attack us first?
The invasion of the Black Pirates and the fall of Poseia.
The Korean continent, which had been enjoying peaceful adventures, suddenly invaded the Japanese continent and buried all the naval power and fortresses of the Shoen Empire in the depths of the sea.
The scale of those who suffered as a result could not be ignored, but there was another incident that caused a huge shockwave that was incomparable to him.
It was the worst disaster on the Japanese continent and a major event that has not yet fully recovered.
Baylan Incident.
Under the name of Kill The Dragon, this case, which was proudly and permanently stamped on the incident/accident bulletin board of Arpendia, was caused by a user who came over from Korea without anyone knowing.
player dex.
It is not Korea, but the reason why he dared to cross over to the Japanese continent and carry out the dragon raid is still unknown, but the aftermath of the damage that occurred in the process was so great that he could not dare to speak of forgiveness.
-How much would it be if the funds were blown because of that bastard?
-Well..... According to the media articles I saw, it said that at least tens of trillions would pass?
- Tens of trillions? Are you saying it's so awesome?
- Still, the price of all items skyrocketed after that incident. Don't you know how much people are still suffering because of it?
A huge incident that completely paralyzed the economy and distribution system of the entire continent of Japan. In particular, the fact that the delicately formed balance of political power was disturbed in an instant and the sense of crisis of war greatly increased also contributed greatly to their enmity.
-I know? Do you get pissed off when you think about it?
- Damn you bastards. They always curse at us as war criminals, so what's the difference between them?
-Are you saying it's okay to mess around with such recklessness as a game?
The public opinion of Japanese users began to simmer and boil. Japanese users, who at first ignored and passed it off with a sullen face whenever an article that raised such hostility was posted, began to harbor anger and hatred from the depths of their hearts without even knowing it. Without noticing the intention hidden in these writings.

The Cabinet Investigation Office, the official intelligence agency of the Japanese government.
There was an operation that was recently systematically carried out here, where domestic and foreign intelligence collection, counterintelligence, and numerous secret operations missions were performed and handled with the single zeal of national security.
Member of the covert operation.
This operation, which was promoted jointly with the Cyber Command of the Special Unit of the Self-Defense Forces under the command of the Chief Cabinet Secretary, was a collective and indiscriminate propaganda and agitation towards the Japanese people through Arfandia.
Using thousands of tens of thousands of accounts secretly secured by the Japanese intelligence department, repeatedly creating and disseminating messages with similar content, consciously or unconsciously planting a single message in the minds of most Japanese people. Director Yasuhiro, who had been intensively responsible for this operation for as long as a month, was reporting to his immediate superior, Hajigen Chateau, with a bright expression on his face.
“The covert operation is going smoothly. Currently, major internet communities and SNS, including Arfandia, are full of backlash and hatred toward Korea, and public opinion is pouring in that we should take retaliatory measures against the Korean continent as intended.”
Contrary to the lukewarm reaction from before, from a certain moment, the feeling of huge hatred and disgust grew to the point that no one could handle it. Because of this, the relationship between Korea and Japan was worse than ever.
-Doards to eat. I wish they all disappeared from this world.
-Why do people who would be sitting on the street right away even if we imposed economic sanctions just a little bit are so mean?
-Give me Takeshima, South Korean bastards. Why are you illegally occupying other people's land!
-Anyway, JoXjing can't be helped? They reformed them, but they didn't know how grateful they were and talked about aggression.
Beyond the situation in the game, all sorts of rice cakes about sensitive topics between the political diplomacy and history between the two countries are scattered. And these atmospheres and contents immediately flowed among Korean users, leading to extreme conflict.
- Ha ha ha ha What are you saying? Those island monkeys.
-Economic sanctions? I didn't know before, but now I don't? On the topic that everyone is being pushed by Ajin
hahahahaha. I don't understand it well because it's about monkeys~ ^^
-Yes~ Take it if you twist it. Dokdo is our land! Evebeb.
river to river.
An online public opinion contest that shows the true nature of Jagangducheon, where there is no retreat.
The public sentiment of the two countries, which had been trying hard to suture and improve, was falling through the basement and into the abyss, but the Japanese political world was actively stimulating the situation rather than trying to deal with it.
[Recently, the behavior of Koreans has become so vicious and impudent that it is hard to see with both eyes open. I have doubts and doubts about whether those who illegally occupied Takeshima and are always busy pointing fingers at Japan with a gaze full of criticism and hatred will be able to develop into a relationship that can play a partner role as our neighbors. What should the Japanese government and our people do?]
[To actively consider ways to take international action regarding the illegal occupation and unauthorized occupation of the Korean government, which ignores the historic agreements and treaties regarding effective control of Takeshima. I will.]
Famous members of the National Assembly, political critics, professors, editorial writers, and even famous actors. People who have their own recognition and authority in society, all of them, stood up, grabbed the microphone, and spoke out their beliefs in front of the camera.
And in this situation, Hajiken Chateau, head of the Cabinet Office of Investigation, couldn't hide his satisfied smile and muttered with a wide smile for the first time in a long time.
“This... the next general election is sure to be the Prime Minister's victory as well. I don’t know how long it has been since this conservative tendency has become mainstream.”
Japan's Conservative Party, which has always been struggling amid criticism from the Democratic Party and public opinion. However, the Japanese people, who had been pointing fingers and cursing at the current government every time, completely turned around in this public opinion maneuver and stood on their side, and everyone was shouting.
“Let’s show those damn joking bastards a lesson!”
“Let’s completely drive out Jo X-jing from mainland Japan!”
“Let’s eat all of Zhao X Jing’s continent!”
“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Japanese Empire!”
It's as if they've completely returned to the days of the Japanese Empire, which caused World War II. Looking at the Japanese people crying out for war in the madness of revenge, hatred, and hatred with reason paralyzed, Chateau asked with a face full of anticipation.
“So, how is the situation in the game going right now?”
A situation in which Kazuki has been recruited and uses his high management authority to collect internal information in Arcadia in real time. To his question, Yasuhiro immediately answered as if he had waited.
“Currently, it is said that the two great empires of the Japanese continent have agreed to cooperate with each other. Although the grand scenario provided earlier has not started, assuming that the current situation continues, the war will inevitably begin within a month at the latest.” Intelligence received from Branch Manager Kazuki, who is in charge of the Japanese branch. So there was no room to doubt the reliability of the information, so Chateau said with a very happy face.
“Not long. Thoroughly prepare and prepare so that there will be no problems until the end.”
“All right.”
Director Yasuhiro salutes at the end of that instruction and goes outside. Chateau, who looked at his back for a moment, took a deep breath and leaned back in the chair, recalling the moment when her long-cherished imagination became a reality.
“Collaborating with those goddamn thugs. What a vain delusion.”
Entities that don't officially exist, but are secretly permeating the Japanese government and society as a whole. Far-right forces who once cried for greater East Asia co-prosperity, yearning for and dreaming of the golden age of the Greater Japan Empire. Embracing that belief, he smiled as he watched the Japanese people change little by little while embracing thoughts similar to his own.
“All for the glory of His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan.”
Without even dreaming of what the results of the stories created by all these efforts would flow.

“Hyaa..... It’s been a while since I’ve been here.”
Haimer returns to the Gael Federation, which is located on the Korean continent after a long time.
He muttered as he looked around here and there with a hazy expression, as if he had a special feeling that he had returned to his hometown.
“By the way... somehow the atmosphere is strange, isn't it?”
An atmosphere full of tension.
Haimer tilted his head with a puzzled expression as he looked at the streets full of chilly cold air, but Jaeyoung calmly told him the reason.
“I told you. There will be a war sooner or later.”
“Is it this fast...?”
It's less than a month since he's been away.
Haimer was startled by the completely changed atmosphere of the city in that short period of time, but he couldn't hide his embarrassment because of the vicious crowds.
“Uh... hyung, doesn’t it feel like people are surrounding us?”
“I know?”
People besieging them, forming a circle as if blocking the escape route.
Jaeyoung looked at them with strange eyes. And soon, a middle-aged man with a stern appearance jumped out and asked with a suspicious look.
“Where do you guys come from? A face I haven't seen before?”
Jaeyoung and Haimer were kicked out of Mechanium and moved to a nearby city. It was one of the Gael Federation cities that he couldn't even remember the name of, so Jaeyoung just shrugged, but Haimer stuttered and shouted at his question.
“My name is Haimer, a magic engineer from Mechanium.”
“Mechanium...? Are you a guy from the main school of steam?”
When he said he came from Mechanium, he immediately mentioned the school that Haimer belonged to before. At his question, Haimer muttered with a bitter smile.
“Yeah... not anymore, but I was a part of it at one time.”
“Once upon a time...?”
“So you're saying it's not now?”
People who sway with puzzled eyes at those words. Heimer shrinks little by little from the stinging gazes of people who look at him with suspicion. However, he suddenly looked up at the warm energy he felt on his shoulder.
Jaeyoung smirks as if telling him not to worry. In place of the bewildered Hymer, he shouted in a loud voice among the crowd of NPCs in a town whose name he couldn't even remember.
“You seem too nervous, so I’ll introduce you instead. This guy was once a member of the main school of Steam, but he was excommunicated and a magical engineer from Mechanium.”
He was once an ordinary magical engineer who was once in danger of being beaten to death in the scene of a people's trial. However, now he is no longer just an ordinary being.
A being who acquired the infinite magical knowledge of the transcendent dragon, established his own theory within it, and opened up innovation and new horizons in magical engineering that no one else had ever created.
“I am Haimer, the master and first founder of the Canonphilia school.”
That's how he first appeared in the Gael Federation.
Showing off a huge presence that can't even be compared to before.
