Icarone snatched a piece of cloth from behind Belun and walked to find a place to sit. As he laid down a place in the far corner that was neither empty nor an empty space, but rather a place that seemed to have been left open to prevent the wind from blowing in from outside the barracks, Rechil approached him, accompanied by the men.

“What, you don’t even say thank you? Don’t you feel anything even though I’m showing you interest in me?”

She spoke, striking a pose that showed off her long, slender figure. Icarone asked her, genuinely curious.

“Do you have anything to do with me?”

Then she crouched down precariously next to Icarone and said:

“Hmm… It’s nothing special. Of all the people I saw at the temple back then, he’s the only one left, and he acts like he’s ignoring me. Now that I think about it, it’s just simple curiosity.”

“Only?”

Icarone asked, remembering the two sleeveless men who were flanking Letchil at the temple just like the muscular men now. As if she understood what he meant, she came closer with one hand covering her mouth and whispered with a seductive expression.

“Then those idiots got caught. Dungeon, dungeon.”

It seems like it’s a habit to say it twice. I don’t know why I was arrested, but it doesn’t really matter.

At that moment, I inadvertently made eye contact with the men behind me. I had a hunch, and as expected, they were glaring at me as if they were going to kill me. Yes, these people were not Rechil’s personal bodyguards, but sasaeng fans who were only there for the sake of their fandom… … . I don’t want to incur unnecessary hostility, and I’m tired, so I should end my conversation with her.

Then, her voice was heard again.

“But where did that kid go? Is he dead?”

He frowned as he remembered the forgotten Lewin. His memories of that kid were not very pleasant. It seemed to be because the ending was so unpleasant.

“I’m tired. Go.”

“Hey, you’re sleeping with me right next to you?”

What does it matter if she’s next to me and I’m sleepy? As expected, in places with a lot of people, annoying things tend to follow regardless of one’s will. I already felt like I wanted to finish up quickly and leave.

Then one of the muscular men next to her unclenched his fist and said.

“Mr. Letchil, I will correct this bad habit of yours. How dare you tell Mr. Letchil……”

Then Rechil raised one hand to stop the muscular man, and came close to Icarone and whispered in her ear. He was close enough to feel her breath.

“I really like how cocky you are. If only you could use your fists a little more… but we’ll see.”

What kind of nonsense is this? Icarone turned around and expressed his desire to not talk to her anymore. And soon after, he felt their presence fading away. They were more docile than he had thought. Icarone slowly closed her eyes while fiddling with the dagger in her arms.

Since we are living in a group, we have no choice but to sleep. We don’t know how long it will be, but we can’t sleep forever, especially with our bodies all battered and bruised. Icarone opened the airway just in case, and began to sleep lightly.

Raven, standing in front of numerous soldiers, was a commanding officer in his own right. With half of the nearly 500 soldiers being mercenaries, it was understandable that they would disobey him like they did with Brozen, but perhaps because of the intimidating aura he radiated, even the platoon leader who had been acting tough yesterday was tense.

As expected, he was the second-in-command of this punitive force, right under the lord. However, perhaps because he had an aura of intimidation that the infinitely frail lord did not have, he personally commanded everything. The unit that had advanced since dawn passed Aaron Village and entered the large mountain located behind it.

At that moment, Raven, who was walking ahead, raised his sword high and shouted in a loud voice.

“This Calixery Mountain Range is believed to be the hideout of the Werewolf Lord! Werewolves are not absent just because they are not seen, so everyone, be alert! Especially mercenaries! If you are not confident in taking them on alone, fight as you have learned! Advance again!”

“Advance!”

After the sound of shouting echoed throughout the mountain range, the sound of people murmured could be heard.

“Whew… I see. The soldiers will figure it out, whoosh.”

“What, what? You said you’ve caught a werewolf, you lied?”

“Be quiet, Inma……. I’ve seen it once, from afar…….”

The trembling voices of the people seemed to indicate that most of them had never faced a werewolf before. Suddenly, memories of Aaron Village came to mind. With such a large army, the same thing wouldn’t happen again… … .

After hearing Raven’s words, a man began to tremble and looked around, then approached the platoon leader named Belun.

“Over there, captain.”

Belun looked at him with surprise, perhaps nervous, and answered with a frown.

“What is it?”

“What do you mean by ‘fight as you have been taught’?”

“You don’t need to know. Just hide behind the guy with the shield. You’ll die quickly anyway.”

“Is that all there is to it?”

“That’s right~. If you’re really scared, from now on, just stick close to the guys with shields.”

“Yes, yes!”

Belun later spoke in a slightly relaxed voice, perhaps reading the anxiety in his shaking eyes. The man hurriedly walked to the back and stood in line behind the largest man. Although his manner was rough, he knew how to ease the worries of his platoon members, and he was not a platoon leader for nothing… … Icarone raised his head and looked at the ominous forest, fiddling with the handle of Ray.

In the distance, between the ridges, the sunset is visible.

Raven stopped at the end of the wide road and turned around to say.

“From here, we’ll spread out into our groups and move forward! As soon as you spot a werewolf, blow the horns I gave you! Got it?”

“Yes, Lord!”

“Unit, disperse!”

“Scatter!”

As the soldiers of the front platoon spread out in unison and dispersed, the mercenary platoon also took notice and spread out their distance. Thus began the operation to surround and search the Werewolf Road. The sight of ten platoons of 50 men each climbing the mountain in a single line was truly spectacular. Ikarone followed the platoon leader in footsteps and looked around the entire punitive force with his eyes.

‘I understand that you came here to boost morale, but isn’t it too much to have such a frail lord standing in front of you?’

Was it because he had treated her face? Or was it because she was not wearing any combat gear? Icarone kept glancing at the lord for some unknown reason, but the lord was almost at the front even though the soldiers were scattered.

Even with four knights and a Raven around them, they never seem safe from a surprise attack, and if they fight to protect the lord, the effectiveness of advanced combat personnel will drop significantly. It would be better to retreat to the rear… … .

‘I should take care of my life.’

It was a time when we put aside our useless worries and continued our search. The werewolf was nowhere to be seen, and the spider was slowly descending on the ground.

At that moment, Rechil pointed somewhere with his index finger and said.

“Hey, what’s that over there?”

At her one word, the men on either side instinctively jumped out to check what it was.

“It looks like a cave.”

“Cave? Come out here.”

Belun responded to the man’s words. He picked up a torch and pointed to a muscular man.

“You, the one with the shield, follow me and you guys wait here.”

His words caused a slight tension to rise in the room. Belun and the man slowly entered the cave.

-Gulp.

The sound of the largest and most muscular man in the platoon swallowing his saliva echoed through the cave. Belun fixed his gaze on the sound and spoke.

“Are you scared? Don’t worry and hold on to your shield.”

“yes…….”

When he went in about 15 meters, a strange sound came into Belun’s ear.

-Ugh, ugh, squeak, squeak.

Belun’s nerves were tense. He stopped walking and focused on the sound. It sounded like something was eating. But the problem wasn’t the sound of one. As a hunter known in this area, he had faced werewolves several times, so he could tell just by the sound.

Three, no, more. Even if there were only two, I could have done something about it, but this is a situation that is far beyond my expectations. It is not like I can even save my life, let alone take the initiative and score a goal.

Belun very slowly… … stepped back, hiding the torch behind him. His movements were so careful that even his footsteps were not heard properly. Then, the sound of eating stopped and only silence remained.

“Krung…….”

Belun shouted and threw the torch in the direction of the danger signal sent by his five senses.

“Jump!”

“Eww!”

The distance to the outside of the cave is about 15m, and the distance a werewolf can jump in one jump is about 10m. Fortunately, the ceiling is low, so there are limitations to jumping, but will there be anyone who can stop you as soon as you go out? Probably not.

Belun bit her lower lip and ran with all her might out of the cave where dim light streamed in.

“Khuuuung!”

The werewolf’s roar seemed to be heard right next to him, faster than he had thought. Belun ran outside, straining his legs as hard as he could.

“Shield Joe! Quickly stop those bastards behind me!”

“Gyaaaah!”

“Eww!”

The 7th Platoon members looked bewildered at the words of Belun who suddenly ran out, and then they saw werewolves following them terrifyingly. Not one, but four of them, and the people were instantly thrown into confusion.

Belun spun around quickly and swung his sword behind him as one of them continued to follow him. The werewolf, not expecting it, quickly crossed its claws in an X shape to block Belun’s sword, but was pushed back a little.

Compared to his rough behavior, his skills seemed pretty good. He quickly looked around during that brief gap. The platoon members were being thoroughly trampled by the remaining three werewolves. It seemed that there had already been five casualties. They looked so helpless. He had panicked at the speed of the werewolves that he had never seen before.

Belun bit her lower lip and shouted.

“Damn it! A shield or something! Hold it! Haaat!”

Although one by one they raised their shields in response to his screams that were almost like screams, the situation did not seem to be getting any better.

Letchil couldn’t believe the sight before her eyes. The limbs of the people she had just talked to were flying before her eyes. She couldn’t accept it as reality and just stood there blankly in the middle of the chaos.

At that moment, the man who had made eye contact with the werewolf threw down his sword and shield and ran away. As the werewolf continued to follow him, the man grabbed the werewolf right in front of him and pushed it back.

“Whoa!”

It was only when his body was forced to move that Rechil realized the situation. The werewolf waved its hand in annoyance at Rechil, who was screaming for the mountain range to leave. The sharp, blade-like claws came right up to his nose.
