I Was Discharged From the Hunter Guild

178 – Soldier’s Duty

A soldier must only act on orders.

It could be said to be the basic rule of all armies in the world and the most basic principle for controlling and operating a powerful organization called the army.

Even if the order is recognized as unfair.

Soldiers are beings who must move according to orders, not their thoughts and judgments.

According to that principle, she…

Cheok Chun-yang is the guild master of the 1st Hunter Corps and has the title of the strongest hunter in Korea.

As always, at this moment, he was moving to carry out the order given to him without any deviation.

‘Stop the rebels. In order to protect the country, we exclude groups with impure intentions. That’s all I can think about.’

Although she knew that the public opinion around her was not very good right now.

She also has eyes and ears, and was very aware of the current situation through the Internet and through her acquaintances.

But..

Nevertheless, she had already made up her mind to faithfully follow her duties.

No matter how rotten and corrupt the government was, they were those who held power according to due process based on the law.

In any situation, basic procedures must be followed,

No matter how well intentioned it was, if it was recklessly destroyed, there was a risk of causing a greater danger in the future.

That’s what the original principle is.

No matter how stuffy and obstinate it may seem, it was something that had to be kept for the sake of order in the future.

In fact, the reason why the country continues to be in chaos even after the success of the revolution, which has been mentioned for a great cause in history, is that these principles have been damaged.

Because of this, Ms. Cheok-chun was standing there steadfastly while listening to countless people swearing at her on the Internet.

And the same goes for the other soldiers who are with her.

So, in order to protect the ‘country’ according to their beliefs, Cheok Chun-yang and the soldiers arrived at the defense line.

Immediately, along with the deployment of troops, they began to check the surrounding situation.

In the process, Cheok Chun-yang stood at the forefront of the front line as a guild master.

Beyond this area, where the defenses were firmly equipped, the appearance of wide plains and mountain ranges came in.

“Where are the rebels located?”

“According to the information, I heard that you have just passed Kaesong and are coming here. maybe tomorrow at the earliest. It looks like it will arrive within two days at the latest.”

“I get it. Don’t neglect reconnaissance, I’ll say it again, we are soldiers. Don’t worry about anything else, just do your best to stop the rebels in front of you.”

“all right.”

The adjutant leaves after politely responding to Miss Cheok Chun’s words.

Immediately after instructing the people around them to do their work,

Her gaze turned once again to the world unfolding before her eyes.

‘Tomorrow.. two days later at the earliest.. by that time, all of that wide plain will be covered with rebels, right?’

An enormous army of 100,000.

Among them, there were many comrades and friends that Cheok Chun-hyang knew well in the past.

Guild Master Kwak Je-hyeon, who is considered one of the instigators of this war right now, is one of her best friends.

He was once a man who had made up his mind to be loyal to the country, but that friend was now the leader of the rebels, not a sympathizer.

Even at this moment, when she remembered that fact, Miss Cheok Chun couldn’t help but feel pain in her heart, but nevertheless, she was determined to carry out her work once again.

‘Friendship is, of course, important… but loyalty to the country is incomparably more important than that.

Of course, as a last resort and as a minimum courtesy, he surrendered once in a while. Or they would have tried to encourage voluntary dissolution.

Although the defenses here were quite solid, they were more than twice as large as this one.

In addition, the opponents were not Abyss, but human beings like himself and comrades who once belonged to the same Korean army.

Rather than spilling blood among colleagues, it is best to resolve issues through negotiation or persuasion.

However, if it ended in a misfire, he had to resolutely pull out the sword, and from that moment on, no more hesitation or thought should be left behind.

So once again, as I shake off the emotions in my heart,

As a longevity and hunter ahead of the battle, Cheok Chunyang watched the front with cold eyes.

Hunters taking a break and regrouping after arriving at the Kaesong frontline.

A shadow of exhaustion and hunger lay on their faces after coming down the long way.

They were able to come here with difficulty, with the help of food and combat supplies obtained by robbing supply storage areas along the way, and ironically, the factors that led to this rebellion, but anyway, with the help of sand rice, which was somehow used as food. .

However, not only those who lead the rebels, but also most of the soldiers who follow them had some premonition.

In the current situation, the fact that they would not be able to hold on for long.

“How much food do you have left?”

“There are only two days left. In fact, even that is porridge made from sand rice.”

“Thanks to you, you are very sure about one diet.”

“hahahaha.. Yes, that’s all.”

The lieutenants and guild masters were exchanging jokes that weren’t like that.

Even though they were fighting the enemy of hunger and fatigue, nevertheless, their morale was never weakened.

It was really hard to come this far, but even so, the burning anger they had, the will to revolutionize the world, and the realistic reason that the metropolitan area was right in front of them were still giving them strong strength.

‘Now we’re almost there. If you go a little further, you’ll find the South Korean mainland.”

‘Fortunately, we’ve come this far, can we get rid of those filthy upper-headed bastards in a little while?’

‘If you go into the metropolitan area, at least you won’t die of starvation. There are convenience stores and restaurants just a little further down from here.’

The rebels who are taking a break feeling such a mixture of determination and a little anticipation.

Meanwhile, the commanders leading them at this moment, Adjutant Song Dana and Guild Master Kwak Je-hyeon, were showing serious expressions with the metropolitan area… and Gyeonggi-do in front of them.

“Miss Cheok Chun and the 1st Hunter Guild are here.”

“..I guess so. I kind of expected it, but…”

Kwak Je-hyeon speaks in a voice full of regret

But apart from those feelings, she wasn’t particularly surprised or dissatisfied with the current situation.

The 1st Hunter Guild and its head, Cheok Chun-yang

It was because she already knew very well that she would draw out her sword and fight for her country even under such circumstances.

However, apart from that fact, she couldn’t take a good look at the current situation.

“The enemy’s troops are about 40,000, and they will be replenished after that, but there is a high possibility that we will starve to death before they arrive.”

“There is no food, and there is not enough munitions. Fortunately, I’m prepared for one or two battles, but…”

“Since it’s something I’ve already been determined to do, I’ll have to finish it quickly. Now, tomorrow we will arrive in front of enemy lines, so we must make a decision as soon as possible and with certainty.”

In a situation where there is no place to retreat now, the two people and the rebels have virtually set up a camp of multiples.

So, they began to prepare for the full-scale battle that was now approaching with determination.

“Enemy forces are approximately 40,000. But what you need to be equally careful about is the defense facilities right here.”

“I have heard of this before. A defense line with countless unmanned equipment covering the metropolitan area. You will probably have to prepare for considerable damage right after the start of the war.”

“I have already made up my mind to sacrifice. The important thing is whether we can achieve victory at the cost of that sacrifice.”

“It’s hard for me to be too sure about that part, but…”

While discussing concerns and solutions for the future, the two began preparations.

In preparation for the upcoming battle, prepare to show their capabilities to the fullest..
