00611 Astaroth, move directly. ————————————————– ———————-=
dark night.
“huh… .”
Soyoung Han let out a faint sigh, lightly touched the bridge of her nose, and stretched out her hand towards the light stones placed on the desk.
After a couple of light taps, the light that brightened the tent dimmed slightly. Even though it was so dark, there was a somewhat cozy atmosphere inside the tent.
It’s deep at night, but it’s still too early to say it’s clear dawn.
Sarah… .
Han So-young, who turned down the light, once again turned over the record she had originally read. The eyes, which had softened for a moment, focus on the letters.
In fact, there is no need for Han So-young, the commander-in-chief, to stay up this late. In the first place, the attack on the southern part had been completed, and all matters such as fort construction and security were running smoothly.
So why is Han So-young awake when everyone should be sleeping?
Of course, only he knows, but perhaps it has something to do with the bustling noises he hears from outside.
So, for example, waiting for someone.
Snort!
It was then.
Someone opens the entrance to the tent where Han So-young is alone and sneaks in. Han So-young must have sensed her presence as well, so she stopped reading her notes and calmly raised her head. A man walks in toward the front entrance.
“You are here now. Mercenary Road.”
It was like that. It was Kim Soo-hyun who visited the commander-in-chief’s tent late at night.
“… Did you know?”
“I’m not sure. But I thought it was highly likely.”
A conversation that may sound a little strange. Han So-young was speaking as if she had been waiting and as if she knew.
Soon Kim Soo-hyun nodded his head. Then, she stopped in front of the table where Han So-young was sitting and quietly opened her mouth.
“I came to ask for permission.”
“Given that you say that, don’t you think you’ve pushed ahead with the matter?”
“I apologize if you were offended. However, I thought permission from clan members took priority.”
“hmm.”
Soyoung Han let out a light snort, rested her chin on one hand, and stared at the man who came unexpectedly.
This guy definitely has something that attracts people. No matter what you say, don’t be arrogant or servile. It conveys good confidence. Who could do this? With the steel mountain range in front of me making it so difficult.
Thinking like that, Soyoung Han slowly parted her lips.
“So what if I don’t allow it?”
Of course, Soyoung Han had no intention of doing that. Should I just say it’s some kind of joke?
However, in the current situation, farming was clearly an inappropriate choice. If a joke is told by a suitable person, the other person will laugh and laugh at it, but if someone like Han So-young tells it, the other person will take it sincerely. When her extra senses soon conveyed the information that she was ’embarrassed’, Han So-young smiled bitterly and shook her head.
“just joke.”
Then he slowly got up and walked next to Kim Soo-hyun.
“But joking aside, I wish you wouldn’t go.”
“Can you tell me why?”
“Is there any reason? “The Steel Mountains are dangerous.”
“Yes. “I know.”
Soyoung Han said, ‘I don’t want Mercenary Lord to get hurt.’ It can be seen as a degree.
However, Kim Soo-hyun tilted his head. As if asking what to do.
An ordinary woman would probably have grumbled that she had no sense. But Han So-young didn’t think so. She actually considered herself an understanding and considerate woman, so she shrugged her shoulders as if nothing had happened.
“If you promise me two, I’ll let you.”
“A promise?”
“yes. “First of all, please take care of yourself.”
“yes.”
“And make sure you come back alive.”
“All right.”
A really difficult promise was made very simply.
And after a while.
“Really,” Han So-young muttered, wrapping her hands around her elbows as if crossing her arms. When I put a little pressure on her arms in that state, her large breasts, which do not match her slender body, stand out even more.
“… sorry.”
Then he suddenly opened his mouth. A look of puzzlement appeared on Kim Soo-hyun’s face.
“I want to help you too… .”
“… … .”
“I said I wanted to do something for you too… .”
“… … .”
“Again, I guess I’ll have no choice but to watch and worry alone.”
“… … .”
Han So-young has said this before. To be exact, in front of a bonfire, when I was alone with Kim Soo-hyun.
Only then did Kim Soo-hyun’s eyes widen slightly.
He stares at the woman who asks him to make a promise and apologizes for not being able to help.
Anyway, no matter how she feels, Han Soyoung cannot move. There is no cause related to blood relatives that everyone can sympathize with like Kim Soo-hyun, and even if it were to come forward, it would not be as funny as that.
Even though she knew that, Soyoung Han did not continue speaking. However, the black crystal-like eyes that shine yoyo slowly look down as the neat eyelashes fall shyly.
Late at night.
The time when a person’s emotions are most filled.
There is a bit of silence. Han So-young still doesn’t speak. However, looking at the lowered eyes and the white cheeks that gradually take on a reddish tint, anyone will be able to guess what Soyoung Han is thinking.
It’s strange. The air late at night is extremely cold, but especially between Kim Soo-hyun and Han So-young, the air becomes hot and gives off heat.
“Istantel Low Road.”
Suddenly, Kim Soo-hyun’s face came closer. Almost at the same time, the light of the light stone goes out and darkness falls.
no. In fact, the light was still there. The moment Kim Soo-hyun approached her, she thought Han So-young had reflexively closed her eyes and the light had gone out.
“I… .”
Han So-young’s straight forehead is revealed when her bangs are lifted by Kim Soo-hyun’s hand. They were so close that I could now even feel their breathing.
Beautiful lips bathed in dusky light tremble.
Han So-young closed her eyes tightly and slowly lifted her heels to raise her height.
It was that moment.
“By any chance, are you in pain?”
Kim Soo-hyun’s words were carefully spoken as if he was truly worried.
“Your face suddenly turned red… .”
It made an understanding and considerate woman disappear in an instant.
Han So-young reflexively clenched her right fist.
‘… Should I hit him?’
It was Han So-young who was seriously thinking.
*
Meanwhile, at the same time.
While Han So-young was contemplating whether to punch Kim Soo-hyun in the abdomen, Kim Yu-hyun, who had just finished the first day of the expedition today, was also deeply worried.
The Eastern Expedition did not encounter any monsters until the end of the attack. The southern expeditionary force encountered the monster three or four days after marching.
And the Northern Expedition encountered a monster half a day after the march. And with a monster I’ve never seen before.
Will it be over 3 meters tall? A dark body, sharp teeth, and a thick tail. Additionally, looking at the horns at the end of the protruding snout, it looked like a dinosaur.
First of all, looking at the results alone, it can be said that the first day of the expedition was quite successful. Although the extent of the raid was not large, the Northern Expedition fought its first battle in the Iron Mountains very well, without a single casualty.
Rather than saying that the monsters were weak, Kim Yu-hyun’s response was very appropriate. After quickly gathering the shaking users, he ordered an attack that persistently targeted the monsters’ weak points. Of course, it goes without saying that the instructions were based on information provided by Kim Soo-hyun.
As a result, the expedition’s morale naturally increased.
In fact, no matter how small the number of monsters was, the fact that we got off to a good start in this infamous area was something worth congratulating ourselves on.
The day ended in a lively manner, with users praising the Emperor and nodding that the Northwest Alliance was truly a godsend.
Except for one person.
“Hmm… .”
Kim Yu-hyeon sighed and tapped the table.
Then, why is Kim Yu-hyun doing this now?
All the other users ended their day in a good mood, but why is Kim Yu-hyeon the only one with a sad look on his face?
The answer lay in the monster that appeared today.
‘If you just calculate the distance, you will be able to reach the attack point in about 6 to 8 days. hmm. Until I first entered their territory… . As early as one day? Two days at the latest?’
‘Ah, bro. This is my opinion… . I guess the guys in Region 1 are anxious. … huh? no no. Not the eastern ones.’
‘There are monsters that come out of area 1.’
‘huh. Actually, I thought it would come out in area 2, but it didn’t come out. In other words, we need to keep in mind that these guys will appear in the third area. therefore… .’
Kim Soo-hyun was predicting various situations to the point where Kim Yoo-hyun held out his tongue. And the prediction was accurate without any error. The remaining monsters that escaped from area 1 passed through area 2 and entered area 3.
So Kim Yu-hyeon was not happy. No, she couldn’t.
The monsters that rule the 3rd region, as well as other monsters that are expected to appear, are a headache, but to make matters worse, the monsters in the 1st region have also come.
At this point, there is no way Kim Yoo-hyun would have any good feelings toward Dongbu. Even though they were once together, they were now like strangers since they moved to the West.
“Tsk. “I can’t help it.”
However, that did not mean that Kim Yu-hyeon was particularly intimidated. She never thought it would be easy anyway. Just think of it as one more ordeal to overcome.
After a while, Kim Yu-hyeon shook off his head and continued thinking.
‘This attack… . The longer you drag it on, the harder it gets.’
Above all, there are no useful users.
I wasn’t talking about the combat part. It refers to the qualities that lead users.
In fact, Kim Yu-hyeon wanted to form a northern expeditionary force like the southern expeditionary force.
But I couldn’t. I couldn’t do that.
The leader should be a user who has the ability to read the situation and make instantaneous judgments at their peak.
The rear must be handled by a user who can follow the leading unit well and respond flexibly to unexpected situations.
In that case, even if you wash your eyes and search for it, you won’t find such a user.
In the end, there was no choice but to form a form where the center encompassed all situations, like in the East. And this type of burden increases as time passes and monsters appear in earnest.
therefore… .
‘There is enough information. So, even if you have to push yourself a bit, you need to get to the attack point as quickly as possible. And with a quick resolution… .’
Soon, Kim Yu-hyeon calmly organized his thoughts and began to fold the map on the table one by one.
at that time.
thud… .
Suddenly, a vague vibration from somewhere rang faintly in Kim Yu-hyeon’s ears. She sounded really weak, so she could just get away with it.
But this is the Steel Mountains.
Kim Yu-hyeon’s head instinctively turned towards the outside of the entrance. Before she knew it, her eyes were emitting a fierce light.
thud… !
The vibration is heard once again.
Food, food, food!
– Jjorongjjorong!
Suddenly, there was a sound of flapping wings, and a beautiful golden bird lightly landed on Kim Yu-hyeon’s shoulder.
Kim Yu-hyeon quickly got up and left the tent at a brisk pace.
“What does this mean?”
“How should I know!”
“Inform the Commander-in-Chief!”
“Go to the security guards! hurry!”
Murmur.
As if Kim Yu-hyeon wasn’t the only one who heard the noise, the campsite was already becoming a mess with users who came out after hearing the sound.
After a while, users who put in alerts began reporting one by one.
“This is a report from the eastern alert! “They say there is no sign of it, let alone a sound!”
“This is a report from the western alert! It is said that the sound can be clearly heard and a very faint vibration can be felt on the ground! “There is no trace!”
Urgent voices followed.
Yuhyun Kim also already had her magic detection activated to its maximum potential. But nothing is caught. Users in charge of the western border also reported a similar situation.
In the end, there is only one answer.
The monster is far enough away from the camp that it cannot be detected.
Nevertheless, hearing the vibration meant that the monster had that much power.
‘No way already?’
Kim Yu-hyeon chewed his mouth. Deciding to give instructions right away, she activated her voice amplification spell.
And, it was that moment.
thud… !
At the same time, a slightly more certain vibration was heard.
– Kirururururururuk!
A tearing scream, presumed to be that of a monster, rang out across the Steel Mountains.
Kim Yu-hyeon’s eyes grew as big as a flower lantern.

Oh my, it looks like yesterday’s content made many readers cringe in their hands and feet.
Since I am the culprit who made you cringe, it would be my duty to release you myself. Well, I guess I’ll have to think about what kind of content I can use in the future to gently relax the hands and feet of my readers. ha ha ha.
P.S. The golden bird is a bird that Kim Soo-hyun obtained as a gift from his previous strategy with Kim Yu-hyun, and was given to his older brother. It is a bird that has a very beautiful appearance, and its abilities are very compatible with the thunderbolt. The name is Jjorongi. I’m crying and crying.
Another characteristic is that the owner obviously follows and likes Kim Yu-hyun or Kim Soo-hyun more. As it is a bird related to ‘nature’, it is attracted to Kim Soo-hyun’s inner ‘hwajeong’.
