thousand eyes

Devan called Hyeon-jun with a hand gesture. Hyeon-jun got up and approached him, and he began to speak while pointing his hand at the map spread out on the table.

“This is the Red Forest Village. This direction is west, and this part is the forest. How far do you think it went?”

Hyunjoon hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“I don’t know how to see this.”

Of course, it’s not like you really can’t read a map. It was just a lie to pretend to be an ordinary adventurer. Devan tapped the table with his fingers and said.

“Then guide us to the most haunted places.”

“All right.”

“He is an E-class adventurer. Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”

said Bahanus. But Devan shook his head.

“On his own, he killed dozens of people at the entrance of the village against the attacking gnolls, and killed the chief. Also, in the raid that took place this morning, it is said that he went out of the fence and hit the rear of the gnolls driven by the fence, killing a gnoll close to a hundred alone. He has the skills, and he’s not dangerous at all.”

‘I really recited every word.’

Hyeonjun glanced at the captain of the guard. The captain of the guard avoided Hyeon-jun’s eyes in a cold sweat.

“indeed… .”

Hearing the mutterings of the priests, Hyeon-jun tried hard not to sigh. There was no way that the knight, Dvan, could not have heard that sound. but it will be fine To that extent, it shows that the priests are for Hyeon-jun.

“And we will mobilize adventurers to search the surroundings.”

It was said to the priests.

“that… ! It is too dangerous!”

Bahanus shouted loudly and stood up. It is a fierce reaction that was not seen when discussing Hyeon-jun.

They are really ordinary adventurers, and if the soldiers are not with them, they can be annihilated depending on the situation.

“You don’t know what will happen if you’re even a day late. If you saw what he did this morning, I thought you would understand my decision.”

“…….”

The sudden raid this morning is clear evidence that things are not going well. Most of the gnolls were deformed. It means that it was made very quickly, and at the same time it also means that more than one hundred play was made at once.

“I gave too much time to the guy who called himself the village chief. I will leave right now.”

“Then, after killing Tantares, how will the adventurers be treated?”

“I’ll send the adventurers back to the village before I hit him.”

Bahanus gritted his teeth. I want to get the adventurers out somehow, but there’s no way. At this rate, many adventurers could die. However, considering Tantares, who showed tremendous strength, they must be subdued as soon as possible.

“Please prepare.”

Devan got up and left the room. The captain of the guard also jumped up and left the room as if running away, and only silence fell in the room.

“Don’t worry too much. Judging by the deformity, things weren’t all good for him either.”

At that time, the wizard who was sitting quietly in the room spoke softly.

He was a thin man who looked to be in his 40s, but he had such a low presence that he had forgotten what he was.

“Um… .”

As the priests frowned and pondered, the wizard smiled casually and said,

“Lord Devan is a bit cold-hearted, but he’s not cruel. For now, I will focus on killing Tantares.”

“Whoa… . All right.”

The priests nodded reluctantly, and the wizard also got up and quietly left the room. The priests also looked frustrated, but got up and left the room without any hesitation.

And with Dvan’s command, preparations for entering the forest were carried out in an instant.

He called in adventurers to form small platoons, and gave each platoon leader a code of conduct. The priests disperse and join them, and when they find Tantares, they immediately contact Dvan. Then, the adventurers retreat to the village with the priests, calculate the adventurers’ retreat time, and rush in.

Bahanus, a combat priest, kills Tantares along with Dvan, wizards, and regular troops, and in the village, priests gather people in one place to treat those who will be seriously injured with rampaging parasites all at once.

Of course, even the guy who sits in the platoon leader is a D-class adventurer at best. While he was preparing, Devan called the platoon commanders over and explained it over and over again, until it got stuck in his head.

How many times has a mere adventurer done a job where he had to lead people and carry out missions in his life? If you say it once, you will forget what to do when you turn around, and if you say it twice, you will forget it while walking. The really crazy thing is that even if you repeat it endlessly three or four times, until these guys put on an expression of disgust, they will forget everything once they go into the operation.

“Avoid fighting as much as possible. Fight only when it is unavoidable, and it is forbidden to seek out gnolls for hides or to skin gnolls that have been killed. The search comes first, and if this is violated, severe punishment will be imposed. The priest must be placed in the center of the formation and must be protected. Although you have become platoon commanders, the highest command authority within the platoon is the priest. Make the priest’s judgment your top priority. If you find something suspicious, don’t step out unnecessarily, follow the priest’s judgment, and send a report to the center without delay. If the center sends a magic signal, retreat immediately, and the platoons sent by wait for the platoon members to return before retreating together. After receiving orders, you must retreat. Those who retreat without receiving orders will be regarded as deserters and all will be executed immediately.”

The platoon commanders swallowed their saliva as they listened to Devan’s sharp, powerful voice.

It was already the third time he said it, so Hyeon-jun, who was next to him, seemed to be able to recite it.

“You, tell me what I said.”

“Uh, ah, that’s it, avoid battle, follow the priest’s orders… .”

“Listen straight.”

Then he starts saying the fourth. He did not get angry or punish the adventurer. Of course, I had the belief that I wouldn’t remember it, and that’s because it was right. His faith was so firm that he wrote his words on parchment to the soldiers next to him.

This time like the principal’s lecture will end only when they have written down all of Devan’s words and are all ready to go on the campaign.

“Davan-nim, everything is ready.”

“Yeah, well done. Go back to your seat.”

“yes.”

Duvan patted the soldier who had reported the report and returned it with praise, and the adventurers were also able to escape from Duvan’s words, which made their minds bewildered. Only Gunther and his party member, Bald Man, were concentrating and carving the contents into their heads, then showed an uneasy face. All the adventurers received the parchment, stuffed it into their bosoms, and went to the front of their platoon.

Hyeonjun, Bahanus, and even the magician and Devan all stood in the central army, and Devan looked back and said a word.

“depart.”

Then, in silence, he began to walk.

Chuck, Chuck!

One of the soldiers stamped his foot twice, and 30 soldiers began to move at the same time to the beat. If a military writer had seen that creepy scene of perfectly matching the ceremony without command, PTSD would have come and screamed, but since Hyun-joon was not finished, there was only an impression that he was great.

The central army was the first to leave the village, followed by a platoon of adventurers. The Central Army, guided by Hyeon-jun, crossed the forest as it was to the west, and the platoons spread out in a straight line with an appropriate distance on both sides and began to scan the forest. After a while, when the terrain became chaotic, another soldier walked and struck the shield twice with his spear.

empty, empty!

The soldiers who had been walking according to the ceremony began to walk comfortably. It was because they couldn’t keep the ceremony in the forest, and even in battle, unless they were to maintain a dense formation, they didn’t need to match their feet that accurately.

‘I do not know what should I do.’

Hyeonjun, now walking in front of Devan, raised his eyebrows in his complicated mind.

If you judge soberly, you should get out of the battle before entering it. I’m going to face a very dangerous monster, and there are knights and wizards, battle priests and regular soldiers, but I don’t think he can make a big difference.

‘But I can see a knight’s swordsmanship and a wizard’s magic.’

That is why Hyun-joon is worried.

If only I could steal Dvan’s swordsmanship just like I stole Anton’s swordsmanship! On top of that, unlike Anton’s case, Dvan will truly wield his sword to kill the enemy. If you do well, you may see secret tricks or unique tricks that were kept secret in the family. Hyeon-jun, who created a combat system just a few hours ago, suddenly had a lot of fun with swordsmanship. It’s not easy to refuse that sweet honey.

Magic there! Deep down, he thought that the reason he couldn’t move mana was because he had never encountered it before. If you see him using magic this time, he might be able to move mana without buying mana control 1. He even thought that if he did well, he could even steal magic. As much as I had high expectations and was greatly disappointed, I am expecting high again.

As the thoughts of swordsmanship and magic settled heavily in his head, Hyeon-joon finally decided that he had to get involved and watch the battle with Tantares. If you use this opportunity, you will be able to take a big step forward.

“How far have you been?”

Devan, who was walking silently, asked Hyeon-jun.

“I didn’t go very deep, because I usually go inside by scanning the surroundings.”

“How many games did you go around in groups?”

“There were as few as three, as many as six.”

Dvan was silent, only the sound of metal clashing was heard for a moment.

“Tell me what level your play was in terms of an adventurer’s standards.”

“It was difficult to deal with most of them because of their strength and tough leather. E-class cannot be dealt with alone, and D-class can only deal with one. Starting from C rank, you should be able to fight fairly reliably.”

“By your standards?”

Hyeonjun walked without slowing down and spoke calmly.

“If they have their backs, they are no threat.”

“Ha, I like being confident.”

Devan said in a voice with a small hint of laughter. However, Hyunjoon did not let go.

“Participate in the subjugation of Tantares. Stand behind with the priest while I and Kurman kill Tantares.”

“De radius!”

“All right.”

From noble mtl dot com

Bahanus shouted in astonishment, but Hyeonjun calmly replied. Rather, the desired sea. Hyeonjun nodded slightly to Bahanus. Bahanus bit his lip, but looked into Hyeonjun’s eyes and nodded. Duvan and the wizard Kurman quietly watched.

“It won’t take long. The main body of Tantares is not very strong. It’s enough just to stop the guys created by Tantares. When this is over, there will be a big reward, so think about it.”

“yes.”

Silence remained in the central army again, and they just quickly moved towards the depths of the forest.

‘There is no three-eyed play.’

If I had come this far, I should have met ten of them already. It may not be coming close to the number of central troops over 30, but it feels a little creepy. There is no three-eyed play, so there is only the sound of the wind and the sounds they make in this great forest. I can’t even hear birds or even bugs.

“This is where I have been.”

In the end, without seeing a single three-eyed play, they arrived near the place they had been to before.

“Maybe we should go in this direction. In the past, moving in this direction would increase the number.”

“Lord Kurman.”

As soon as Devan finished speaking, Hyeonjun felt the mana gushing from Kurman. It spread very widely and then came back to his body.

“I have to go a little further.”

“All right.”

‘It’s amazing.’

It seems to have spread nearly a hundred meters. Of course, it was very thin, but it covered the terrain with a diameter of 200m at once. Hyeon-jun moved on, trying to remember the movement of that mana.

“From now on, I will take the lead.”

“yes.”

Hyeonjun moved his position behind Dvan and next to Bahanus.

“Brother, are you really okay?”

“yes. it’s okay.”

Bahanus looked at Hyeon-jun with a moved face. You must be having a strange misunderstanding again. I’m tired of trying to fix it now. It’s nothing bad, it’s okay.

After walking like that, Kurman sprayed mana and walked again. Then Kurman spewed and collected mana and stopped.

“Sir Devan, someone is coming.”

When Devan raised his hand, the soldiers stopped. Hyeonjun and Bahanus also stopped, and after a while, I began to feel a presence on their right.

“Here it is!”

Devan shouted in a clear voice, and soon two adventurers approached them.

‘Gunther’s party.’

“Sir, I found a suspicious place.”
