Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant novel Chapter 316
A few days later, the Purification and Reunification Operation finally began.
Broadcast stations and countless online media outlets were flooded with coverage of the campaign, and people across the globe—domestically and abroad—focused intently on Korea’s northward push.
It was a spectacular sight.
The advancing Hunters looked like ancient generals marching to unify the nation.
There were presidential speeches, congratulatory messages from celebrities, and even celebratory performances by singers.
But amid it all, the one who drew the most attention—naturally—was Su-ho.
Viewers kept scanning the broadcast screens, searching for any sign of him.
“Where’s the Sword God?”
“Where’s Ahn Su-ho?”
“Where is he?!”
But Su-ho was nowhere to be seen.
Only the prominent Hunter Players representing each guild and coalition appeared on screen.
And rightly so—because at that very moment, Su-ho was already deep in North Korea.
[ You have defeated the Chainwarden of Suppression. ]
[ The Gate has been cleared. ]
[ MVP of the Gate Clear: ‘Ahn Su-ho’ ]
[ MVP bonus: Additional EXP awarded. ]
[ MVP bonus: 1 bonus stat granted. ]
“Hmph.”
While the ceremony of northern advance was in full swing, Su-ho had infiltrated Pyongyang alone and was sweeping through the Iron Horse Gates.
He narrowed his eyes as the notifications popped up before him.
‘Now that I’ve hit level 200, even clearing a 1-star Gate doesn’t raise my level.’
Once you enter the 200s, clearing 100-level Gates no longer guarantees a level-up.
A regrettable shift.
He’d been grinding those Gates efficiently for steady level gains until now.
Still, he had to clear the Iron Horse Gates.
Even if it didn’t yield levels, he needed to see the hidden options on the Sealed Iron Horse.
Su-ho checked the time and thought,
‘They should be breaching North Korea about now.’
He’d spent the last few days grinding through his workload to ensure nothing required his attention during the operation.
Tasks were well delegated. The system was already running smoothly in his absence.
He had also assigned the zones to participating guilds.
For reference, only three guilds—Hexagon, Prime, and Nexus—participated solo. The remaining mid-tier guilds had formed temporary coalitions based on regional names.
Gyeonggi, Incheon, Gangwon, Jeolla, Chungcheong, Daegu, and Busan—seven in total.
Dividing the coalitions by region had been Su-ho’s idea.
It made things easier to manage and would simplify settlement procedures once the operation concluded.
‘All that’s left is for me to do my part.’
While the guilds pushed north, he’d strike key Gate targets in advance—primary strongholds meant to support the Yalu River Gate.
‘Gaeseong and Mount Kumgang are done. Now I just need to hit Pyongyang, Sinuiju, Hamheung, Rason, and Baekdu Mountain.’
Among those, Su-ho had chosen to start with Pyongyang.
