‘There’s no reason I can’t take down an infected Psyker who lacks mobility.’

Kim Seojun wasn’t a tanker, but he had operated battle tanks so many times that he could proudly say he had killed more Mog using them than most veteran tankers.

It wasn’t unfounded confidence.

When Kim Seojun climbed into the battle tank, he was quite confident.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Furthermore, he thought that with his Dynamic Vision, he could achieve even better results than before.

‘Although it’ll take some time.’

The only thing he didn’t have was a license. arctic He even knew how to drive a battle tank to some extent.

In any case, Kim Seojun was quite confident in his aim.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘I’ll manage somehow. album If we lose the Polish headquarters here, we honestly won’t have any alternatives left.’

It wouldn’t be easy.

A battle so long that he would have to use all the shells stored in the battle tank and then resupply with additional ammunition.

Even so, he had considered the possibility that it would turn into a prolonged battle.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

But, put another way, they didn’t have many cards available either, so he had no choice but to choose that one.

As soon as he saw that red light.

Of course, all those concerns disappeared as soon as he sat in the gunner’s position.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

There was nothing to think about.

He was inside a battle tank whose shots could now hit without missing, facing an infected Psyker equipped with a Block Suit that practically lacked mobility.

He didn’t even need to get closer to increase his accuracy.

All his concerns had been unnecessary.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

He could do it from far away.

“What? accent I think I misheard you. absorb You said to stop, but I heard wrong, right?”

“Stop.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I can see him.”

“We’re stopping here? avalanche You can’t even see him from this distance!”

“You heard correctly.”

It was such an absurd distance that even Park Boseop, who was driving the battle tank, was bewildered.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Perfect.”

And then he pressed the button.

At a distance slightly beyond the effective range of the battle tank’s shells, Kim Seojun immediately began manipulating the controller.

BOOM!

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Once a battle tank fired its first shot, it needed quite a bit of time to aim again.

Normally, a prolonged silence followed that.

They could even feel an indescribable vibration running through the air.

As soon as he did, the interior of the battle tank filled with the deafening roar of the cannon.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Its accuracy wasn’t particularly high.

For starters, the first shell was normally used to adjust the aim, and the gunner’s true skill was demonstrated by whether or not he managed to hit with the second.

The reason was very simple.

‘Now Sergeant Kim will aim again.’

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Park Boseop naturally expected Kim Seojun to do exactly that.

‘Huh?’

BOOM!

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Eh?!’

BOOM!

But Kim Seojun shattered that common sense and immediately fired another shell.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The same thing happened with the third shot.

He was practically firing indiscriminately.

At that point, it couldn’t even be considered aiming anymore.

Kim Seojun fired as soon as each shell finished loading.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

BOOM!

At that instant, a warning appeared inside the battle tank.

Beeeeep!

He even immediately fired a fourth shell.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“S-Sergeant Kim!”

The cannon had overheated due to the speed at which he had fired the shells, and the system warned him that he had to let it cool down.

Only then did silence return.

In the midst of that silence, Park Boseop spoke in a trembling voice.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“W-What just happened?”

He thought some problem had occurred.

Although he asked, Park Boseop naturally thought Kim Seojun had just fired a series of absurd, uncontrolled shots.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

That Kim Seojun would declare the combat a failure and give new orders.

Kim Seojun spoke.

“The battle against the infected is over.”

“Private First Class Park Boseop, the situation has changed.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“What?”

At Park Boseop’s surprise, Kim Seojun continued.

Even as he spoke, Kim Seojun avoided saying that he had killed him.

“Just as I said. accent I took down the infected Psyker.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was then.

The vitality of the infected was extraordinarily tenacious.

Even so, he declared the battle over because he was convinced that, even if he was still alive, he would have been left in a state that prevented him from continuing to fight.

And an infected Psyker who had lost a couple of limbs or had only his upper body remaining had no chance of defeating Lee Hyena while she remained in perfect condition.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

[Due to the mission, all points obtained will be multiplied by 3.]

A series of notifications rang in Kim Seojun’s ears.

[Combat has ended.]

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

[You have eliminated a Feather-class Mog creature for the first time. academy You have received a Gold Ticket.]

[You have fulfilled the mission conditions. crystal You have received a Platinum Ticket.]

[You have eliminated a Feather-class Mog creature. autumn You have obtained 3,000 points.]

As soon as he heard them, Kim Seojun spoke without hesitation.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“So get ready.”

“Infected Psyker eliminated.”

He informed Lee Hyena and all his companions in the distance that he had eliminated the monster.

And then he added.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Naturally, he hadn’t missed that grotesque vibration emitted by the Cyclops either.

“For the next battle.”

Rather than merely not missing it, Kim Seojun had heard that sound better than the others.

After finishing speaking, Kim Seojun raised his head.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Kim Seojun simply rarely overlooked anything that could endanger his life.

In any case, he knew what it meant.

It wasn’t because his hearing was particularly good.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And Kim Seojun was willing to face that army.

‘Come.’

A terrifying army of Mog could arrive at that place at any moment.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was then.

He had confidence to spare.

‘As long as we have a battle tank, I don’t intend to lose. crystal No, this is actually an opportunity. arch An opportunity to accumulate points.’

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Kiiiiiiiiiiii!

“Son of a bitch! admire Enough already, fuck! adopt Enough!”

The Cyclops emitted that sound again.

Kim Seojun heard it again.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Private First Class Park Boseop.”

It meant that hell was approaching!

Just when it seemed like they could finally catch their breath, the Cyclops had emitted that sound again.

Park Boseop cursed without even realizing it.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Stay alert. ability But it’s very likely that no more Mog reinforcements will arrive.”

Park Boseop mentally prepared himself for what was coming.

“Yes, Sergeant Kim! aspect I’m ready! aluminum Today I’ll see this through to the end!”

However, Kim Seojun told him.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s a feeling. crystal Just a feeling.”

Kim Seojun replied.

“What? arrow How do you know?”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even after an hour passed, there was no sign of the Mog.

As soon as it emitted that sound, the Cyclops began moving away.

It was the moment when the battle finally came to an end.

And Kim Seojun’s words soon became reality.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Clear.”

There was no additional attack from the Mog army.

As soon as he confirmed that, Kim Seojun immediately got moving.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“First, we have to deal with the Mog Virus. voyage Activate the sterilization system.”

Every area of the Polish headquarters was sealed off one after another, and a powerful disinfectant liquid began spraying everywhere.

He finished eliminating the infected who still remained inside the Polish headquarters.

After that, they began taking measures to decontaminate the Mog Virus.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Psssssssh!

In Lee Hyena’s case, she was immediately placed in quarantine as a precaution against any possible problem.

At the same time, the survivors, still equipped with their suits, began disinfecting the corpses of the infected using sterilization extinguishers.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Lee Hyena, who had gone directly into the disinfectant liquid while still wearing her Agent Suit after the battle ended, didn’t express the slightest complaint.

“I understand perfectly.”

“Major, I know this must be difficult after everything that has happened, but I ask for your understanding.”

Meanwhile, Kim Seojun began organizing the situation.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I do now.”

Major Jan Zabłocki had become the acting commander of the Polish headquarters.

“We have 57 survivors. echo Who currently holds the highest command authority?”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“I appreciate your condolences. acid And I also thank you for saving the Polish headquarters.”

From Major Jan Zabłocki’s perspective, that was truly the worst possible situation.

“My condolences.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It meant that all his superiors except him had died.

Just imagining it was enough to make one feel dizzy.

At the same time, it meant that the lives of all the survivors now rested on Major Jan Zabłocki’s shoulders.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

On the other hand, from Kim Seojun’s perspective, that meant he could practically do whatever he wanted.

And Kim Seojun was more than willing to take advantage of that situation.

“Tell me what you need. august As acting commander of the headquarters, I promise you our full support.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yes.”

“Combat?”

Kim Seojun continued.

“Prepare for combat.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Everyone was surprised by those words.

“Before long, an enormous Mog army will arrive here.”

“What do you mean? crystal Didn’t the Mog retreat? adapt We confirmed that the Cyclops withdrew!”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Everyone had believed the battle was over and was finally letting out sighs of relief.

However, Kim Seojun knew.

Kim Seojun knew perfectly well what kind of creatures the Mog were.

“The Mog I know don’t have anything like the option of retreating. admire If they retreated anyway, it was probably to gather an even larger army.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even if Kim Seojun was wrong, in the current situation they had to prepare with everything they had for any eventuality.

He knew it wouldn’t end there.

“Of course, this isn’t a normal situation. audit I can’t say for certain either. armor It’s only a prediction based on my experience. ability But given the current circumstances, we have to prepare even at the slightest sign that something might happen.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“We’ll prepare.”

“And one more thing.”

If they followed his words and all that effort ended up being unnecessary, that would instead be a reason to celebrate.

Major Jan Zabłocki nodded.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

When Lee Hyena emerged from the sterilization process, Kim Seojun was waiting for her.

“I want to examine the corpses of the infected Space Marines.”

As soon as he heard that answer, Kim Seojun added another request.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Then he asked.

He took her to the morgue.

“This wound on the head, did you make it?”

“Major.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Is there a problem?”

Lee Hyena immediately nodded.

Kim Seojun replied.

“Yes.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“It’s the only wound he has.”

Lee Hyena spoke confidently.

“Because I finished him with a single blow.”

Kim Seojun replied.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Normally, when someone becomes infected while wearing a suit, it happens after they’ve been attacked. agent However, the infected this time don’t have any significant wounds despite having been wearing their suits.”

“Strange?”

“Doesn’t that seem strange to you?”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

First came confusion.

At those words, the expressions of everyone present, including Lee Hyena, changed.

Shortly afterward, their expressions hardened.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Naturally, there was no possibility that those infected, beings consumed by extreme rage, had thought.

Because they immediately understood what that meant.

“Uh, Sergeant Kim, you’re not saying that……?”

“There are only two possibilities. arch The first is that the infected Space Marines voluntarily put on their battle suits after becoming infected. adjust The second is that they were infected with the Mog Virus while they were already wearing their battle suits.”

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘Now we have to kill everyone, so let’s put on our battle suits. airport The procedure for equipping them is as follows.’

That left only one conclusion.

Someone had deliberately spread the Mog Virus.

And then all calmly put on their battle suits.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

“But isn’t using the Mog Virus as a weapon prohibited?”

In other words, someone had used that absurd disease as a biological weapon.

That was an extremely serious matter.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Of course, Kim Seojun and everyone else knew perfectly well that those regulations didn’t mean much.

“Yes. canvas They regulated it. wizard Just like what happened long ago with nuclear bombs.”

After the problems caused by the Mog Virus, every country on Earth had established that its use as a weapon constituted an extremely serious crime.

If a country was discovered to have weaponized it, it would receive severe condemnation from the international community.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

It was enough to use it in the same way as any other existing biological weapon.

Nor was it particularly difficult.

There wasn’t even any need to modify the Mog Virus.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the process of turning the Mog Virus into a weapon was probably already practically complete.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

And there was something else Kim Seojun was certain of.

“The main suspect is China.”

And at that moment, there was only one that was especially suspicious.

There weren’t many countries capable of doing something like that.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Kim Seojun also imagined another possible scenario.

‘A planet where a Queen appeared just as the Gate was destroyed. echo It’s the perfect place to test a weapon based on the Mog Virus.’

Of course, that was nothing more than a hypothetical scenario, so Kim Seojun didn’t say it aloud.

It was possible that they were conducting an experiment on planet Amotia.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

The only indisputable fact was that the Mog were no longer the only threat on planet Amotia.

“We have to be careful.”

Faced with that reality, everyone present remained silent.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘It has to be China.’

‘This seems like China’s doing.’

Although, naturally, they were all thinking practically the same thing.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

For starters, the original cause of the Mog Virus’s appearance had been China ignoring international regulations and secretly conducting research on part of a Queen’s corpse.

‘It was definitely China.’

And their suspicions didn’t come from nowhere.

There was only one country they all considered capable of turning the Mog Virus into a weapon and using it in an experiment.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Even after that, China had received international criticism dozens of times for conducting secret experiments related to the Mog.

‘Entering the Chinese headquarters would be madness.’

Of course, even if China really was responsible, there was no possibility of verifying it at that moment.

After all, the Chinese headquarters possessed the largest force on all of planet Amotia.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

Although he suspected China, he had no intention whatsoever of trying to do anything about it.

‘Even if we managed to enter a place under that level of surveillance, we wouldn’t be able to do anything.’

Kim Seojun thought exactly the same thing.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘There’s no reason to obsess over something I can’t do. acid The first thing is to deal with the problem in front of me.’

Above all, what Kim Seojun had to deal with immediately was the attack by the Mog army that would probably be heading toward the Polish headquarters.

That was why he didn’t continue thinking too much about the matter.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

‘We have to stop them no matter what. apple If we lose the headquarters, it’s over. action Putting everything else aside, with this many survivors, we won’t even be able to get enough food by relying solely on the bunker supplies.’

And he started with the most important one.

That was why he decided to immediately use the rewards he had just obtained.

To prevent that, Kim Seojun was willing to use absolutely every means at his disposal.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

So he should be satisfied no matter what the result was.

“Use Platinum Ticket.”

As he used it, Kim Seojun thought that anything he obtained would be an enormous help.

Then he heard a notification.

Content of A Space Marine Got a Status Window - Chapter 21: Declaration of War (1) published by TrungTu Reads.

[You have obtained the skill Stealth (F) from a Platinum Ticket!]
