Approximately ten potential users are groaning on the floor, and priests are adhering and chanting healing spells. Perhaps he didn't fully defend against the first sneak attack.

But it wasn't just this.

“What's going on? Why was he ambushed? What have archers and wizards done? ”

“Damn it! You said you didn't feel a move! What am I supposed to do if I'm not on guard? ”

“So how did you respond to the vanguard? And who else ran the coal system? Are you crazy, so we can burn to death? ”

“The vanguard is evolving! Just calm down around here. Don't fight! ”

Rough castles with swearing profanity swept through all sides.

Yeah, it was literally a mess.

I stopped trying to get to the rear and looked around quietly.

At that moment, I heard a brief murmur, and soon the crowded users parted ways. And in between, a woman walks out slowly.

It was Han So-young.

Even in this chaos, Han Soyoung still did not lose her cool. Rather, after quickly coming out and settling down, I looked back at myself with a polite expressionless face.

“Mercenary Road. ”

“Istantel Low Road. ”

Immediately, Han So-young nodded, rubbing his head calmly. I pretend not, but I'm a little tired.

“Are you hurt anywhere? ”

“Yes. The latter was more distracted than I thought, but it's calming me down as much as possible. What's the damage to the vanguard? ”

“Absolutely.”

“... Wonderful. ”

Han So-young slowly looked down and replied. At that moment, I felt like I was stabbed in the chest for some reason.

“What about the middle or the rear? Is there a lot of damage?”

“Two missing in the middle, 11 injured. And the latter, five missing, 14 injured. ”

Disappeared.So you were taken.

It wasn't that big of a deal. But since we started the raid, we've seen the most damage.

“Thanks to the proper response of the vanguard.... I don't think the damage was any bigger. ”

Soon, Han So-young barely spoke out as she saw the slowly evolving flame. The rear is under the command of the Koran Alliance. I don't know who did it, but it was a clear control error in Park Hwang Hee.

Suddenly, a low sigh came. Han So-young probably doesn't feel right. Because even I thought we should attack with these guys a little while ago.

I decided to take a step back. Even though it looks so bold on the outside, Han So-young will be very upset right now. I didn't want to help there, either.

“Very well. I'll get back to the front, so let me know when things calm down." ”

“Yes, I will. ”

Han Soyoung and I turned around at the same time.

After about 10 minutes, the commotion subsided, and after another 10 minutes, the departure instructions fell. I slowly walked forward, leading the expedition, and I was on my way to the top.

The further you go down the mountain, the deeper the forest gets.

At the very least, the march was a little faster, and the Southern expedition was finally able to surpass the mountain peaks that were targeted.

*

Time flies by.

The Southern expedition had to cross the targeted mountain range today and further two mountain ranges before stopping. I quickly built a camp and finished eating, and the sunset that had been watering the area suddenly disappeared and the ground spider slowly started to sink.

After being ambushed this morning, the monsters have raided again. It was another sudden attempt to ambush the second mountain range.

But once in the morning, they were able to respond appropriately, and they withdrew with only minor damage.

Of course, it wasn't to be liked. Minor means that the damage was done, and on the contrary, the monster still fled without revealing its identity.

To put it bluntly, the Southern expedition was currently being held at gunpoint.

It's natural for users to be nervous by such persistent guerrillas.

Nearly all the clan roads converged in a large tent set in the middle of the camp at night. It was now an almost annual rally of rugged commanders. No, it's an event.

The energy flowing through the tent is much colder than before. I have no choice. After the first raid in the morning, there aren't many people with red faces.

“I think we got off on the wrong foot. ”

A quiet silence flows through the air, and someone struggles to speak out. It was Blader Lord.

Ko Ohhwan folds his arms and opens his mouth with a very solemn-looking face.

“It's been almost two days since I met the monsters. But what is our current situation? Instead of figuring out who the monster is, we're continuing to deal with the damage. This is obviously a mistake.... First of all, I apologize for being part of the vanguard. ”

“No, what are you talking about? What does Gil have to do with anything? ”

I didn't know where to smile, but I heard a sharp voice somewhere. I look away, and I see a man with his hair thoroughly combed. I remember seeing it the other day. Was it Light Road?

The testicles were vacuous.

“Haha. I mean... ”

“Speaking of sleeping. The appearance of monsters in the Steel Mountains is natural. ”

“No... ”

“Look at the nature of the problem. Now that we're here, we're here to come up with a plan, who's here to fight? Also, as part of the vanguard, who apologizes on their own terms? Which unit has the least damage right now? ”

Ko Ohwan immediately shut up. However, his face became rougher all the time, and he was furious to the end of his head.

My mind was cool, but this is not a meeting anymore. So I decided to mediate at this point, I calmly got up.

“Come on, everybody, let's stop. It's going to be complicated for everyone in this room, and it's going to be a consuming conflict. ”

“No. Mercenary Road. You just heard me.Blader Lord keeps coming... ”

“I'm sure that's because it's awkward. We keep doing damage, but we don't know anything about the enemy yet. I don't think Blader Road means anything else. Rather, I know that you're very passionate about attacking people. ”

“Hmmm. Well, yes. ”

Ko Ohwan immediately agreed. It seems awkward for me to be able to protect myself.

Anyway.

“First of all, I want to talk to you personally at this meeting. ”

I stared at Han So-young with the intention to ask her to speak first. Han So-young, who was thinking clearly, nodded quietly. Looking back at the Clan Lords looking at me with anticipated eyes, I calmly organized my thoughts.

In fact, I've only defended myself since the monsters appeared, and so far I've done nothing. I didn't say anything at the meeting to prepare a countermeasure.

Because I wanted something.

“Let's start with a quick recap of the situation. The Southern expedition has begun its siege, and a new monster has emerged. ”

If I reveal everything from the beginning, of course I am comfortable too. Monsters that appear now have these characteristics. And we have to respond like this. Or one way or another, we'll be able to hit them really quickly.

But you shouldn't. This may be convenient right now, but after all the attacks, you will definitely get suspicious eyes.

The mercenary was, if not, under similar suspicion on the North. I was going to show you how we found and attacked the ruins through this opportunity.

“And this new monster is very cunning. There have been three raids so far, but they are continuing guerrilla warfare in hiding rather than revealing their identities. ”

However, it was not the only one.

The biggest reason was to change the overall atmosphere of the Southern expedition.

From a personal perspective, it was not just one or two things that made it hard to lead the vanguard.

Even if it's the first time I've seen combat. It's too different from a mercenary. When you give an order, you have to click to implement it, but you get beaten up by your father.

Of course, individual performance is definitely good. In addition, the stone is clearly made to give detailed command of the benefits, but once you think about the main base, your personality is too strong.

Moreover, the Southern expedition was loosened as a whole, first through the region without much damage.

Even the monsters we've been dealing with so far have behaved beyond common sense, so all these factors come together to create a situation of evil.

In that case.

In order to target this area, you must abandon any stereotypes you may have about monsters. Furthermore, the corresponding method should also be changed.

“The way to overcome this challenge now, it's very simple. First, we need to know the exact information about the monster. In order to do that, we first need to get a sample of the monster. ”

However, it is not easy to change your habits in the morning. That's why I didn't say a word for a couple of days.

There is a saying that the white paper is worth something.

It's better to get hit once than to hear it a hundred times. You have to put the death wheel in front of your eyes to accelerate your transformation.

That is, to awaken the user's instincts for survival.

If I had made one mistake here, I wouldn't have known the system would be in effect.

I really didn't think there would be such an idiot.

... I can't help the damage, but it was none of my business.

“And the second is to quickly raid and destroy the monster's stronghold. ”

When I finished speaking, I looked around and felt a dazed gaze. It's like those eyes are saying, "Who doesn't think of that?" I smiled lightly into my heart.

After a while, Han So-young opened her mouth.

“You're right. Gathers information about monsters and knows their weaknesses. And raided the stronghold and went rogue. Then obtaining a sample of the monster would be a priority. ”

“That's right.”

“So, how does the Mercenary Road intend to achieve that? ”

“Hmm. I don't know. ”

I took a few moments to look outside the tent and said,

“I think we can get a sample of the monster soon. Early tonight, maybe? ”

“Tonight, tonight? ”

Han So-young said in a curious voice. It wasn't just Han Soyoung, but soon the chaotic commotion filled the tent.

“No, no. Wait a minute. Mercenary Road. Tonight? So they're going on an ambush? ”

Someone asked me with an urgent voice, so I squeezed my head in.

“If you're asking for personal ideas, I think you're pretty sure. ”

*

The meeting was long until dawn. Many intermediate stories have come and gone, but in the end everyone disagreed that we should get a sample of the monster first.

I was not greedy either. The users here are no strangers. It would be easier to come up with concrete evidence.

After leaving the tent and walking ten feet, I had to pause for a moment. I could feel him staring somewhere. I turned my gaze quietly and could find a user standing in the dark. The man who was staring at me, was no different than Seon Yoon.

“Oops. Were you eavesdropping on the Commander's Conference? ”

“… I was just curious about what was coming and going. ”

Seon Yoon admitted it honestly. It's hard to see good behavior, but it doesn't really matter. I shrugged my shoulders and walked to the tent. Seon Yoon hesitated to say something, but eventually he began to follow me quietly.

For a moment, the static flowed.

“Clan Road. I have a question. ”

But by the time I was almost at the tent, Seon Yoon-un broke the silence and called out to me with a bold voice. I stopped walking straight away.

“Yes.”

“Why do you keep covering for him? ”

“That guy? ”

“At the meeting. ”

I tilted my head, but soon I could see who Sun Yoon was referring to.

“Ah. Blader Road. Who else am I? Hahaha.”

“You don't have to laugh. He continues to underestimate Clan Lord's authority. ”

“I know what you mean, and that's fine. And don't kill him too much. ”

“Yes?”

“Think about it. How grateful you are. He said he'd take care of himself without risking his life. That's what expeditions need. ”

“… Ah. ”

Seon Yoon shut up for a moment. But soon I realized the meaning of my words, and the emptiness shook my head with laughter.

“So that's what you've been eavesdropping on, waiting for? ”

“No.”

I also smiled face to face and said quietly, Seon Yoon shakes his head one more time and then opens his mouth.

“Then?”

“Actually, Among the stories earlier.... ”

It was then.

Hi, I'm Royujin.

I posted two today. It's an alliance.

Well, it's not really because I was really empowered and appreciated yesterday's cheer comments. I just took a day off to clear my head, and somehow it was written in two.

It's not stockpiling nature anyway. So I just posted it. Heh, heh.
