"Hmmm…" Daniel hums, as if thinking about sothing or confirming sothing on the other side.
"Yes… I could do that… give a mont." He replied.
Then, the sound of the keyboard ca typing from the other side of the phone. Kim Yuna is waiting for Daniel to respond while looking at the situation on the battlefield on the monitor. It seems a stalemate, even though they can't do anything to each other.
The enemy can't do anything to the defense line, and the defense line still can't pinpoint the exact location of where the artillery ca from. Furthermore, the artillery is still ongoing and doesn't seem to be letting up anyti soon, as the bombardnt is still going strong.
"Ok, I got it… sending the coordinates now." Daniel said, and then the coordinate data appeared on the monitor Kim Yuna was watching.
"Wait! How did you know that I use this monitor!? Are you hacking my country's army network?" Kim Yuna asks with suspicion.
"There's no need to hack. Your Grandfather is the one who buys the hardware from my corporation, rember?" Daniel replied.
"No need to hack…" Kim Yuna frowned, thinking about it for a bit, and then her face was shocked when she reached the conclusion. "Wait! Do you an you left a back door in the military hardware you sold us!? How could you do this!?" She protests.
"Define back door," Daniel said.
Kim Yuna huff "Hmph! Don't think I don't know it. A backdoor program is a hidden thod or program or whatever you call it to gain access to a computer system, network system, or anything of that source, bypassing normal security asures. Isn't that right?." She said with a Prideful smile. Hmph! Does this guy think she's stupid in this sort of thing? And want to make a fool out of her? Fat chance!
On the other side of the phone, Daniel smirked, "Then… according to your definition. What I did is not through the back door; it's just using my authority as the admin to access the information needed from all of the hardware that I sold to the Korean governnt and military."
"I clearly stated in the contract that custors need at least advanced AI technology to utilize all features, such as precise turret targeting, automated precision bombardnt, and increased detection range. The only provider of such AI technology is . I inford them that while they could still use these features, they would only function at 50% precision without the AI. However, since they insist, who am I to deny the custor their wish?"
"What I've done here is just use my AI to verify your address; there's no trick involved."
"To summarize, it's not a backdoor; it's more like another front door everyone can see. Only those with the appropriate clearance in my company and I have the key to that door," Daniel explained.
Hearing this, Kim Yuna frowned again, her mouth pursed. She could imagine that Daniel might have smirked on the other side, mocking her in his mind. She imdiately hung up, this guy deliberately making a fool of her. Is he that petty because she thinks he is a gigolo who clung to that old witch Envy!? Hmph! If it's not because of her family, she wouldn't want to associate with this guy either!
Jerk! a jerk! This guy is definitely a jerk! Kim Yuna thought inside her head after she hung up.
On the other hand, Daniel was startled. Is this girl too rude? She got her answer and then imdiately hung up. Is today that day of hers? Maybe… that's why she has a mood swing like this, Daniel thought.
Daniel shrugged it off and continued to monitor the battlefield. Now he's sitting in the Oceanos command room. Odysseus is standing beside him, issuing different commands to the crew that are controlling the ship. Oceanos is now moored underwater not far from New Atlantis island.
On the screen monitoring the Korean war theater, the scene of heavy artillery bombardnt from the South Korean soldier begins. The rain of artillery fire is 90% precise accuracy, hitting the target nearly with every shell. The shell explodes, and the super-heated shell that Daniel sold to South Korea did its job, lting everything within its explosion radius.
The artillery emplacent lted into red hot lting tal while n were carbonized in a millisecond. The weapon didn't make the people feel agony for long as they imdiately died before their brain could register their pain.
The bombardnt continued until the other side stopped bombarding the South Korean defensive position. At this ti, the screen shows that the attack from the vampires and werewolves had stopped. Most likely, either they had already retreated or all of them had already died under the heavy fire from the defensive line.
At this ti, one of the screens in the Oceanos bridge shows the movent in the Pacific Ocean. The US sent its forces to reinforce its ally through a large ship convoy. The convoy consisted of several aircraft carriers, several more destroyers and cruisers guarding it, and many transport ships that used to transport the troops to assist their allies.
"That's quite large of a convoy. My Lord… I don't think Abysmos can handle all of them alone." Odysseus said to Daniel, who is looking at the screen.
Daniel thought about Abysmos's ability once again. If he rembers correctly and the ability in the card that translates to the real world is correct, then he's confident that Abysmos can handle this alone.

"I think he can, " Daniel answered, then hesitated. But…. to be on the safe side, I sent nis in the orbit there to oversee. Since it's nis, I think it can easily return to the Korean theater within hours after everything is done, " said Daniel.
"Yes, My lord," Odysseus said, then commanded the communication crew to contact nis.

Inside the vast, futuristic bridge of the nis, the God-Slaying Battle Cruiser, Cao Cao sat in the commander's seat. He received a communication from Oceanos below and turned to Guo Jia, who was standing by his side.
"It's ti to test this vessel that our lord has bestowed upon us, Gua Jia." Cao Cao said with Glee, then continued, "Ahhhh, If I had this ship during my ti back then, I would have already united the Han. No! I would have united the entire world!" Cao Cao spoke, a mix of regret and ambition gleaming in his eyes.
"It's unfortunate that Lord Emberweave was born too late. Otherwise, we could have served him sooner and realized our ambitions," Gua Jia nodded.
Standing not far away, Guan Yu glanced toward Cao Cao but chose not to speak, not wanting to dampen the mood. As the forr general of Shu, he was relieved that Cao Cao hadn't had access to such a vessel back then.
"Forward to the Pacific Ocean! Station above the Arican forces!" Cao Cao commanded the crew, and the ship moved to its destination as ordered.

So of the bored soldiers are on the deck of a transporting ship, looking out at the view beside the rail.
"Hey Timmy, have you ever watched the U-Tube video about thalassophobia?" one of the soldiers begins a conversation with a friend standing beside him.
"Thalassophobia? You an the fear of what's in the deep? Co on, we all know that's ridiculous. Nearly all the creatures on Earth have been discovered, and nothing can sink this ship we're standing on," Timmy replies disdainfully.
"But didn't that nerdy egghead say we've only explored 7% of the ocean floor? Maybe there are large, fierce creatures hiding down there," another soldier chis in.
"What? You an like the galodon? Co on... we all know that it's just overrated; it's not that large!" Timmy argues dismissively, clearly unconvinced.
