Arena, Alien hunting

Taang ―

A single shot that rang out in the middle of the night.

Along with the right wheel of the wagon, the body of the soldier who was sleeping with his back against it was shattered.

“Hostiles!”

“Shit, here we go again! ”

“Report the damage and stay alert! ”

The crowded Aman Imperial Troop transport troops prepared for battle again, and they snatched him up rather than going to sleep.

I saw the sights from afar through the silk and fled on my first ride without a doubt.

Sylph slowly follows you, checking to see if you've ever followed. Then he returns.

“Welcome.”

Cha Ji-hye, who went inside the sleeping bag and asked me to sleep, welcomed me.

She's in the dark all the time, as a campfire exposes her position to the enemy. It was like I was waiting without sleeping until I got back.

“I'm back.”

“Good night. We have to get up early and get moving. ”

“Yes.”

I decommissioned Nielsen R3 and crawled into the sleeping bag.

“…… This isn't Hyunho's sleeping bag? ”

“Oh, I was wrong. ”

“Is that a common delusion? ”

“Actually, I'm afraid I'll freeze to death in my own bed. ”

I hugged her and asked her to sleep.

A little flinching, she lets out a sigh and lets you sleep.

‘It's been four days. ’

It's been four days since I started a fight with the Arman Imperial Transport to Raman City.

In the meantime, I have a criminal record for killing four corrupt investigators.

Also, the wagon was destroyed by a teenager.

A unilateral attack makes it sound like an easy fight, but the enemy's scouting range is expanding, making it difficult to get close.

It was because there might be a corrupt tester among the soldiers scouting on horseback.

I wanted to get rid of more corrupt examiners, but their disguises were getting more and more thorough. The opponent was prepared for my shooting in his own way.

Especially for Chinese researchers, it was a very careful shade to keep dark hair from being exposed.

I changed my operation and used a strategy to find and shoot people using the words' investigator ',' test ’,‘ karma ’, etc.

But only three were killed with it. Two were corrupt examiners, and one appeared to be the Black Wizard of the original death squad.

Since then, it was hard to distinguish them from the regular soldiers because they did not use such words.

Although he was revealing himself in Richang, he was armed with a very powerful magical item, making it difficult to accomplish anything by shooting.

Above all, Lichang had met me.

You must have acquired at least a beginner level 1 of Guidance Skill, so you can't be sure where you're going.

It was clear that the reconnaissance direction of the enemies who were watching over me had been the right one.

‘Is there anything we can do? ’

I was doing my part well enough, but it was getting harder and harder to get close.

There were more and more eyes in the Maw watching the perimeter.

I've been shooting for nearly seven kilometers now because I've gained more range. It was evidence that it was that hard to get close.

‘I don't know what happened to Raman. ’

Dana said the Arende Empire troops marched on Raman City two days ago.

And since yesterday, the investigators have been preparing for an infiltration operation, we should wait for further contact. If it worked, if it didn't work out, I would have been contacted.

At that moment, I suddenly felt something in my hand that was wrapping around Cha Ji-hye's waist.

Cha Ji-hye rubbed the back of my hand lightly and said.

“Good night. ”

“How did you know I couldn't sleep? I don't even snore. ”

“Breath sounds different. ”

It's been a while since we've been together. You know better than that.

I calmly closed my eyes and asked to sleep.

* * *

Richang sits on a rock, accepting the darkness of dawn into his whole body.

In silence, he closes his eyes and concentrates his mind.

The direction of Lake Kim is northwest.

Seeing that there was no change in direction, he was now hiding somewhere and sleeping.

You think about a nighttime raid, but you know it like a ghost and run away early. Rather, it looks like you're setting up a spiritual perimeter against it.

‘I'm surprised to see you sleeping for two or three hours. There must be a time limit for summoning spirits, so we move with that in mind. ’

Licheng is also a dragon's leader.

I have instructed everyone not to use any words that only the Investigator and his/her affiliates would know.

Furthermore, we calculated Kim Hyun-ho's sleep and activity times, inferring that his spirit summoning time was approximately 10 hours or less.

Reconnaissance and boundaries were based on inferences, resulting in minimal damage over time.

It was a great achievement considering it was a potential target for a terrifying shooting that could hit a hundred and fifty kilometers away.

This side doesn't even have the means to strike at long distances.

Nevertheless, it was undeniable that the convoy was delayed.

Kim Hyun-ho started targeting wagons that were easier to hit than corrupt testers or black wizards.

‘In this regard, Kim Hyun-ho's goal is definitely to take time. ’

Do you think they'll slow down supply and benefit their allies?

However, we are focusing too much on this side.

Currently, other transport units have begun to move.

Small quantities of transportation became more frequent because they were cut off in small units in case of an ambush.

However, if the disturbance to the supply depot is induced, it is problematic to focus only on this side where there are a lot of corrupt examiners and Black Wizards.

‘Then what is the purpose? ’

I don't know what he was using, but Kim Hyun-ho had a lot of information.

I don't seem to be in contact with any other investigators, but I have a peculiar insight into the movement of the Armed Forces.

It was strange to know exactly when and where the convoy was headed.

‘It's not even a satellite. It's some kind of magical device. ’

He could not have imagined that the reconnaissance satellite was floating above him and was looking down at everything.

After all, Kim Hyun-ho's goal was no longer simply a dissemination.

‘I don't know what the structure of the information system is, but I have noticed in advance that we are undercover in this transport unit. So I've been attacking from the start with snipers, not animists. ’

If you knew from the beginning that there was a powerful force here to hunt you backwards and tried to attack you.

Then the purpose is…….

Lichang gets up from his seat.

I woke up a middle-aged black wizard disguised as an officer.

“Hnng, what's going on? ”

The middle-aged black wizard opened his eyes and asked in a weary voice.

“If you go this way, you'll lose everything. ”

“What does that mean all of a sudden? ”

“What if his goal is not to slow down logistics, but to grab our ankles?" ”

“What?"

Lichang wanted to twist the head of this dull middle-aged black wizard who could not understand the meaning of words easily.

“To fight too hard to delay our arrival in Raman City, he said. ”

“So you're blocking our arrival, not the munitions? ”

“Yes.”

“Why on earth would that be? ”

“You don't have to understand now. No wonder the kingdoms of Arende are trying to attack Raman. ”

“Ah……. ”

The middle-aged black sorcerer, who had red face, groaned and said,

“Even so, the name we received from His Majesty Sultan is that the couriers safely arrive in Raman. What else do you do besides move like this? ”

“The only thing that can stop the animosity is the Black Wizard left in the transport and the rest of us rushing to Raman City. ”

“I can't do that! If we lose power like that, this convoy will eventually be overrun by him. Don't you know how much we're transporting right now? ”

‘That's frustrating.’

Ri Changwei rebuked and rebuked him.

“Hey, what did I tell you? His purpose is to stop us, not the munitions. If our purpose is to run to Raman City, he won't be able to catch a convoy here. They'll come after us. ”

“But that's a wild guess, isn't it? ”

“Vague?”

“After all, I follow the king's words. ”

“We stand apart and march to Raman Shi, but we protect the caravan from him. Don't you understand?”

“I understand what you mean. I know. I'm against it. ”

I was furious, but Rychang just backed off, his fist burning.

I couldn't kill the High Black Wizard of the Orthodox Party even if I was angry.

If we kill him, we'll be hostile to the other Black Wizards here, which will make things worse.

Should we leave the Black Wizards alone and take the Chinese test team with us first? No, but I need the help of Black Magic... ’

It was when I was thinking about it.

Taang ―

I'm sick and tired of shooting from afar!

And at the same time as the gunshot,

Phew!

and someone's head splattered with blood fountains.

He's awake! The direction was the same! ’

Lichang looks at the man who was shot in surprise.

...... he was the middle-aged black wizard we had just talked about.

An elaborate coincidence?

It wasn't.

Lichang was roughly aware of the situation.

‘He's also aware of my guiding skills. Clever boy.’

The direction in which the bullet flew was not the northwest side of Kim Hyunho.

Perhaps he pointed his gun at the spirit and sent it elsewhere to shoot.

‘You're dead because of me. ’

They probably used a silk to sneak a peek at the place and catch someone using the word "investigator."

‘But you saw it was me. ’

Recognizing that Richang has defenses to stop the shooting, and switching the target to the one he was talking to.

As soon as Rychang fell out of the conversation, I got rid of the middle-aged Black Wizard.

‘You've lost all the Abyssal Eyes. It's getting smarter. ’

However, Lichang smiled. I wanted to thank Dory Kim Hyun-ho.

"Thank you. I was an unreasonable opponent, but I got rid of him on my behalf. ’

Lichang quickly straightens up the situation and secretly summons the investigators and the Black Wizards to discuss the matter.

The stuffy, dull middle-aged black wizard disappears, so the conversation goes well.

“Only the three wizards and I will remain here and the rest of you will travel to your destination first. If you use magic to hide and move, you'll be able to deceive him. ”

“Can you deceive him? I'm looking over here. ”

“His attention is focused on me. I don't know if I'm here. ”

Just as Ri Changwields a guide skill, Kim Hyun-ho was also focusing on Ri Chang with a guide skill.

With the shooting just now, Rychang was more confident.

‘He is keeping an eye on me, the only person who knows his face. If I don't move, he'll be fooled, too. ’

A terrifying insight that pierces the mind of the target.

As Lichang said, everyone except him and the three black wizards moved first, hiding themselves with invisibility magic.

He was a noisy vigilante.
