Look at the apex.

After introducing himself, he said with a solemn expression.

“An army of vicious Demibeasts is marching to crush our fortress. We must defend our homes from evil in the name of justice that can never be forgiven. Please lend me your strength. ”

Olek must have been intent on raising his morale by giving a very serious and emotional speech. But · · ·.

“ · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

As a result, all I came back with was the grumpy gaze and silence of my men.

“Hmmm · · ·. Then prepare your barracks and stand by. Always be armed and ready to assemble as soon as I give the order. ”

Olek looks uncomfortable and goes back to his barracks.

And as Olek disappeared, the remaining eleven hundred members began to review each other’s supervisors.

“To be commanded by such a child? · · · ”

“I think I picked a bad one. ”

“Tsk, I’m tired of pretending. ”

Apparently, they rated Olek as a kiddie knight.

In fact, most of these 11-hundreds were mercenaries and adventurers.

They were not regular members, so their perceptions of the military were slim, and above all, they were strongly reluctant to aristocrats.

Olek was a young master who grew up as a plant in a greenhouse after being born in a good family.

Even though I had the strength to be a knight, I honestly wondered how well a master like that would work in the reality of war.

Especially since they first saw Olek.

The mercenaries had a knack for how their survival varies depending on whether their direct supervisor was poor on the battlefield or winning.

But you can’t change the outcome that’s already been set.

“Let’s go, Yura. ”

“Yes, my lord. ”

Min-hyuk didn’t get into that grumbling but just went back to his barracks.

‘I can’t help it if my boss sucks. I will always survive. ’

Min-hyuk had no great appetite for this war.

The worst outcome would be to die caught up in this war.

This should be avoided by all means and means.

Then I definitely wanted to avoid setting up the ball in the first place.

Some adventurers insist on taking a firm share of the opportunity.

But for Min-hyuk, the goal of this war was also survival.

Min-hyuk was too cautious to bet his life to establish his achievements.

Min-hyuk frowned once he entered the barracks.

‘As expected · ·. I thought it wouldn’t be a private barracks, but · ·. ’

The barracks assigned to Min-hyuk were shared barracks. Apart from Min-hyuk and Song Yu-ra, three people should live with Min-hyuk in this barracks.

After waiting in the barracks for a while, the other three characters came inside.

“Oh. You’re here first. ”

“I’ve never seen him before. Aren’t you a mercenary or an adventurer? ”

“Heh · ·. There’s a woman. ”

The humans who came in were not the ones who pretended to like it.

If they saw it on Earth, they were possessors of such a nasty impression that complaints were called complaints just by walking the road.

Are they mercenaries?

Looking at the knife marks on their faces, Min Hyuk predicted their identity.

One of them approached Min-hyuk and said,

“I am Jack of the Black Axes. These two are members of the same mercenary force. They’re called David and Phil. ”

“Min-hyuk is an adventurer, and this is Song Yura, my slave. ”

Min-hyuk made it clear that he was Song Yu’s slave on purpose. I thought that only three black men could work on Song Yura.

The men exchanged their gazes as they looked at the flow of oil. I could only imagine what that meant.

Min-hyuk didn’t want to cause trouble unnecessarily.

However, if they try to manipulate their slave Song Yura, then the story will be different.

‘Because I’ve taken precautions to make sure that doesn’t happen. ’

When Min-hyuk was alert, a mercenary named Phil told Min-hyuk.

“But you’re lucky. Adventurers say about eight to ten were assigned to the Special Forces. ”

Min Hyuk replied boldly.

“I was lucky to say so. But do you guys have a lot of experience with this? ”

“Well, since I’m a mercenary, I’ve been to many wars of sorts. Monster subjugation to territorial warfare. ”

“I see. So what’s most important in this war? ”

“Hmm ·. It’s a water problem, so we need to buy some time. And again, how well do Special Forces play? ”

“No, no, no. Rather than that, we’re picking off the heads of our enemies. Demibeasts are animals, so if you lose a leader, most of the herd will be lost. ”

“But how easy can it be to do that inside the Abyss Forest? ”

“So it’s kind of a bluff. ”

At the question of Min-hyuk, the mercenaries started discussing themselves with excitement.

‘Every human being has an instinctive insect disposition. ’

Min-hyuk didn’t ask that question because he wanted to know his advice on the battlefield.

That’s it. Experiencing skilled mercenaries can help, but if those skilled mercenaries try to die, they die.

Ultimately, what matters in the battlefield is skill and luck.

However, I asked them these questions because I wanted to distract them before useless words came out.

Most humans have a habit of explaining things they know well or think they know well.

‘I was distracted by this, but · · ·. ’

Min-hyuk thought as he glanced at Song Yura beside him.

‘Will I be able to pass without any trouble? ’

It’s hard to expect mercenaries to be gentle with women. because they are living a rough life and being honest with their needs.

A woman the size of Song Yura is right next to her, even knowing that she is a slave.

I thought Min-hyuk might get quite tired.

The sun is setting and darkness is upon us.

In addition, the advanced camp troops have been thoroughly guarded.

Larvae · ·. Ridiculous!

The forest is shaking.

All those who march on the walls of Rutgart feel the same way.

The branches of the forest shake with the feeling of something approaching.

And at some point, the shaking stopped.

“· · · is coming. ”

At the end of one of the mercenaries’ mumbling, monsters begin to flow out of the Abyssal Forest with monsters.

“Meow!!! ”

“Take advantage!! Die!!! ”

“Ooooooo!!! ”

Low-level monsters, such as Goblins, Orcs, and Cobalts, started pouring out of the Abyssal Forest.

“Does it start lightly? Low-level monsters pop out. Deal with an ally’s sacrifice with caution. ”

“Old!! ”

The lord of Rootgart gives orders to his allies, and the camp marches on the monsters.

“Shoot the bow!! ”

“Shields up!! Spearman front!! ”

In the beginning, it was small monsters like Orcs and Goblins that rained down on Humans.

I even saw cobalt in the middle.

Cobalt with a human body on its dog’s head is the weakest of the Demibeasts.

However, I was good at activating in such a large group, and I also gathered together Orcs and Goblins of a similar level.

Perhaps the Demibeasts ordered Cobalt to gather nearby Orcs and Goblins and send them to Humans first.

The number was close to 10,000.

An Orc or Goblin with a number of advantages. Even though they were gathered in a short period of time, a large army gathered.

However, there is no more superior race than Humans if there is a synergistic effect when the herd gathers.

Reduces the number of enemies by firing arrows and magic while keeping their shields and spears up in front of them.

It was a basic strategy, but it was absolutely effective against low-level monsters.

“Queeeek!! ”

“Kuang!!!!

The monsters’ sweetness echoes through the air.

So the first day of battle ended well.

After the battle, the humans cleared the monster’s corpse.

I couldn’t just let every one of the monsters’ corpses be converted for money.

Min-hyuk and his troops in the rear were also sent in to clean up the monsters’ bodies.

“It’s a little hard, but I like working as a safe bread. Isn’t that right?”

“Of course.”

Only the public thirsty commanders wanted to fight in the battlefield.

For soldiers, it was the best place to just lay down your life.

Min Hyuk also agreed.

Although I was in a position to move heavy monsters’ bodies individually, I was a hundred times better than fighting for my life.

But Min-hyuk had other thoughts in his mind as well.

Is it really going to be this easy? ’

If it were, these tall people wouldn’t be prepared like this.

The war continued.

Monsters poured out of the Abyss Forest, and the humans repelled them.

The camp had no significant losses, and the SEALs who regularly scouted the forest showed a return rate of more than seven.

On the contrary, three halves were facing death, but that was the calculated cost of this war.

Most monsters attack at night.

Most of them are at their peak at night.

So most of the SEALs went into the Abyss Forest during the day, attacked the monsters and returned home.

It reduces the number of enemies and detects foreign bodies that you might not know about.

Orcs and cobalt were the main pillars on the first day, but the mid-sized monsters started coming out after five days.

It didn’t feel like the lowest ranked monsters, but even monsters like trolls were pushed out of power.

Of course, this amount of troops that were fully prepared did not pose a serious threat to the Trolls.

There were some sacrifices, but we were able to deal with them.

If Trolls were communicating in droves like Orcs and Goblins, it would never have been easy, but the appearance of two or three Trolls was so rare that it didn’t do much harm to the human army.

That was the time, and the war became the tenth day.

Around this time, strange rumors began to circulate in Yang Young-goon’s march.

Within the barracks of Minhyuk, the other three mercenaries were talking about the rumors with a serious look.

“Cron Territory collapsed? ”

“I heard that. The elders are resting, but three of the fortified cities of Haen Kingdom have already fallen. ”

“Where are you? ”

“Bereim, Rent, and Cron territory days ago · · ·. ”

“Aren’t they all fortified cities? Why are we even stopping them? They can’t stop them. ”

“There are two things you can think about. Either they’re idiots, or we don’t have the main power yet. ”

“Damn it. ”

The mercenaries had two hypotheses, but they already knew what the answer was.

This war was fought by Demibeast Warriors in the first place.

Until now, however, no Demibeasts have been seen on the front lines of Rootgart, except Cobalt.

In fact, considering the concept that Cobalt is a Demibeast submonster rather than a Demibeast, the enemy’s focus has not yet arrived here.

The mercenaries were nervous and looked at Min-hyuk and said,

“Hey, what do you think? ”

“Well · · · ·. It doesn’t change what we say. It’s meaningless. ”

“What the fuck? Is this someone else’s business? ”

“Still, adventurers have no sense of belonging. Belonging · · ·. ”

The mercenaries were furious with Min-hyuk’s words.

Min-hyuk thought to himself, looking at those mercenaries.

‘These truths · · · · · · ·. ’
