Chapter 64: Tiger in the woods

“But how would we chase it?”

They all thought the same. They tried their best to avoid leaving any traces in the valley. They came all that way and found four watchers but they only caught two.

“Do you think they found us because we may have left traces behind?”

Jaehwang already knew what the answer was but the platoon seemed to have doubted that idea. They did their best not to leave any prints as they moved around the area. He started to feel guilty because his carelessness might have caused it.

“I... Give up...”

“I give up too...”

The platoon members looked confused. They seemed to be acting weirder than usual.

“Uhh...”

The platoon members on what Jaehwang had said. Their chase was easier than they thought especially now that Jaehwang had taught them how to shoot a arrow.

“Sengyeon, Take these two and try to get some information out of them.”

“Yes, sir.”

Joonghwi said and Sengyeon gently took the injured person from jaehwang.

“Do your best to not make any noise...”

“Yes, sir.”

Sengyeon then flashed a threatening smile and shook his head. Along with Joonghwi, he had the most experience on the job so they could understand each other without even saying a word.

If they were a different type of Bileons than the extremely religious ones, then everything would have been much better. They had witnessed some terrible scenes a while ago that flushed out all their mercy from their hearts.

Seongyeon knew some interrogation tricks and he brought Mingyu along with him to take the three watchers elsewhere. Once they had reached a pretty secluded area, something happened.

The platoon members went inside the crack to hide and prepare. It’s hard to observe on the outside and finding a hiding spot was difficult now that they didn’t have enough equipment.

It wasn’t long before the skies turned dark and soon enough, Seongyeon and Mingyu returned. They left with three people but came back with none. No one asked about it, their sympathy was no more.

Seongyeon got the information they needed it and shared it with them. He had information on the Bileon pastor, they also found where the base was and they found out that they were they were 150 people strong.

“There’s spies on the inside...”

HyeJi added.

“Hm.. I see.”

Joonghwi said hesitantly. He knew that the situation was bad. If they had learned that information any later, then they would have been in more danger. He realized that they haven’t been safe there ever since they spoke through the radio.

“Leader... My apologies but, there’s another problem. The military bus can’t reach us here. If I use the radio then we’ll have to get moving quickly.”

Peji said. Joonghwi gave him a frustrated look. Things weren’t easy. If they communicated back to Justin point, the bus’s communication system transmission wouldn’t be able to reach down the cliff.

“After that, we can leave easily.”

“Got it.”

“That and, when will the backup support show up after sending the propagation?”

“It should take up to two days.”

It wasn’t like the backup support could fly through the air around the world. There were a lot of airplane-like monsters and if they made any mistakes, a tragedy would occur.

“We’ll catch some later tomorrow.”

“But we can’t guarantee the outcome.”

“They have to know. If those criminals aren’t stopped then maybe the supporting team can catch them.”

“The problem is that we don’t know who betrayed us.”

“I see. That is something that all of us needs to know”

They all shared their opinions but there were no answers. Information was something that all of them needs and they didn’t have enough of it. None of them dared to suggest an assault because all of them knew that the strength of their platoon was insignificant compared to them.

They then decided to take a break. They were Gagseogs but if they didn’t sleep then they would get weak just like anyone else. They all got into a sleeping bags while Jaehwang and Joonghwi took turns with the night watch.

“Joonghwi?”

“Yes?”

Joonghwi answered Jaehwang’s call with a voice full of trust. He didn’t doubt his abilities in the beginning but ever since they got there Jaehwang felt that he wasn’t feeling the same as before. It wasn’t just the platoon entirely, but just Jaehwang. He could escape out of that place even if he was alone.

“I want to take the night patrol alone.”

Joonghwi hesitated to respond for a second. If it was someone else then he would immediately deny it but Jaehwang’s abilities were just enough for them. He’s actually what they needed during that night patrol.

He knew the place well so he decided to take the night shift and let the others rest. However, Joonghwi wasn’t too sure about it.

“Are you sure that you’ll be okay?”

Joonghwi asked.

“I’ll be fine.”

Jaehwang confidently answered.

“You don’t think that you’d die if you go alone?”

Joonghwi said and Jaehwang was left surprised.

“What do you mean? Haven’t you seen my skills? Of course, I’ll be fine. What do you think could happen?...”

He asked back.

“What if they get angry?”

Joonghwi asked and Jaehwang then answered back,

“Well, there are lots of things to do in case that happens.”

Jaehwang calmly answered and Joonghwi shook his head.

“Okay. They’re everywhere here but it seems that you can handle it. Maybe they’re just waiting for the right time to attack. Unless they don’t attack straight away but... a night attack is a good way to go. But that probably won’t happen anytime soon.”

“Huh... I see.

“Mhm...”

Joonghwi said and he wasn’t done talking yet.

“But there is a possibility. But if they saw a chance then they would take it. Do you want to see the plan?”

Joonghwi handed him the tablet before he started to explain things in greater detail even though their formation sounded like it was nonsense in the beginning. It then started to make sense, Jaehwang then shook his head.

“Wow, this is really great.”

Joonghwi made an extravagant plan. He shook Jaehwang’s compliment off and started to lead the platoon again.

“Okay... I’ll explain any changes to the plan. Justin point’s communication system is about three hours and thirty minutes ahead. Sengyeon, Jonguk and Mingyu will take HyunJoon and... You and I proceed with a night assault...”

“A night what?”

“That’s right, a night assault.”

Joonghwi then explained the plan to the clan and all of them gave him a nod once everything was done.

“What do you think, Jaehwang.”

Everyone then turned their attention to Jaehwang. They all wanted to see what he had to say. It was a difficult time and there was still a risk of them getting attacked.

“Seems easy enough.”

Jaehwang shrugged. He then looked at it closer, he just said that it was easy but he can’t stop his worries.

Joonghwi smiled before he turned to everyone and said,

“Let’s do well and enjoy ourselves. I know that they will soon catch up to us and tonight we can’t even dream of a counter attack. However, let’s all just sleep comfortably, okay?”

Joonghwi said and everyone shook their heads. All of them were terrified of what could happen.

“Let’s try that for once. This initiation will be all about that.”

Joonghwi said and then Seongyeon replied,

“Let’s just wipe them out... we can decide on where to do it.”

The plan was used in a term that he didn’t like.

“How do we do that?... Is now the right time?... Well... Peji and Jina can try the radio. And everyone else can rest for now!”

“Yes, sir...”

They were on their way down the cliff and there was a bright red lump of meat on the ground.

The piece of meat was cut down the middle its organs were eaten out. It then spread its 3 meters long wings, the women in the valley were beautiful like something commonly seen in the world’s mythology. They had wings and their legs portrayed those of a monster’s.

The human men were captivated and tempted to help them bear their children. Thinking about it again made it seem like the situation was written in a novel.

Humans were the same during the first half of the year it wasn’t as exact as one would think. They weren’t the same on the inside but they all had long hair flowing down their backs. Their mouths were covered in red blood from eating the meat they had consumed. They then picked up their two legs and flew up in the air.

Tatag...

There was then a big shadow that covered everything below. Their entire body was wrapped in black armor. They then aimed a gauntlet at its head and it busted like a watermelon.

Boom...

It’s pieces flew everywhere. They were third tier monsters so they to die in vain. A piece of its armor fell around and they walked around them. A few hours later, they had arrived at their destination where the corpses of monsters had piled up.

“Amazing.”

One person whispered as they walked past the black shell. There was a guy wearing a coat that went down to his ankles. There was a golden light shining through his chest that made a small catholic-like symbol. He was a Bileon pastor of the SamJeon Church. He had short slicked-back hair along with his dull eyes. He was someone that they should avoid.

He was stationed in the main temple to torture and question anyone who rejected their religion.

“The Cheongun soldiers are very strong.”

He said as he admired his black armor. Sometimes there were shouts coming inside of that black armor but his eyes just glowed red inside his helmet.

“Now we can lead the church and Cheongun soldiers would soon crack the Justin point’s ridiculous situation... and the punishment...”

“We need details, sir!!”

A voice shouted out of nowhere. He looked harmless, he then went and pointed to something before saying,

“Stop the filming...”

He pointed to the camera recording in front of him. The camera was turned off and they explained further into him. He then tired turned to the other person and said,

Tiger in the woods, The end.
