Chapter 547 Suspicious vibes =========================================================================

After a ceremony in Monica, the southern expedition was able to reach the Iron Mountains in 21 days. On the outpost right in front of the Steel Mountains. It was originally reduced from four weeks to three weeks, so it arrived quite quickly. Maybe that’s why, but when I entered the fortress, it was already dark at night.

My first impression of the fortress, which returned in eight weeks, was actually a little disappointed.

What is Fort Zaro? Isn’t it a strong defense facility at a military-critical point?

But the visible outpost was more of a camp than a fortress. It is good to hold the site wide because it has to accommodate thousands of people, but defense facilities were all clumsy guard posts or watchtowers. Other than that, round fences and countless tents?

It’s been eight weeks since construction started, so what do you want? But it doesn’t change that if monsters pop out right now, they will be swept away.

anyway

After the southern expedition entered the fortress, Han So-young ordered the evacuation from the tent as she was scheduled to enter the Steel Mountains early tomorrow morning.

But I was an exception there. The heads of each unit had to meet separately. I heard that the East, which entered two weeks ago, has stopped advancing, and had to refine its plan to attack in the future by taking over information such as the route of the advancement and special matters.

Of course, there were separate users who played a role in delivering such information.

“Welcome, Soyoung. Welcome to the Medical Road. And should I call you Quran Road?”

Entering the large tent in the center, Lee Hyo-eul greeted us with a wave of hands.

“Ha ha. No. Just call me Hwanhee. Quran Lord, I’m embarrassed.”

Park Hwan-hee replied with a smile. Lee Hyo-eul said, “Then it’s a pleasure,” and guided us to our seats.

There wasn’t much inside the tent. No. I was so empty that I thought it was too much. A large table placed in the center of the pavilion and a large map placed on it. And three or four light stones that light up the inside of the tent. Finally, one bed in the corner was all inside the tent. I don’t even see a chair.

“It’s been a while, isn’t it? But please understand. It’s so far away from the city that it’s hard to transport the materials, and there are a lot of workers who don’t want to give gold coins. I have a lot to do, but with the surrounding conditions, I’m really stuck.”

Soon after we gathered around the table, Lee Hyo-eul said in a voice that she was really sorry. It’s like looking at a decent lady.

I stared at Lee Hyo-eun with a smile on my face. Is this because I’m in front of Han Soyoung and Park Hwanhee? I hope you talk like that when you talk to me.

Han So-young shook her head calmly.

“I understand, I had a lot of trouble mobilizing workers. Maybe it’s a miracle to have 450 people.”

“Oh, my God. 450? Two weeks ago, East didn’t fill 300 people. So-young’s skills are amazing.”

“Don’t mention it.”

“Ho-ho. I’m telling you. Okay, then. Anyway, thank you for coming. Let’s get to the point. First of all, let me tell you from the Eastern Lord Jingun..”

It was then. Lee Hyo-eul was about to enter the explanation while pointing at the map, but suddenly stopped talking. This is because Han So-young, who is facing each other, slowly raised her hand. And the hand, soon pointed at me.

“You’d better talk to the Martial Road on your route. He’s the guide to our Southern expedition.”

“What? But Istantel Low Road is the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expeditionary Force.”

“Of course, I’ll hear it from the side, too. But I also delegated all the authority by entrusting the spearhead unit to the Machinery Road. That’s how much I’m rich in this part, not the state.”

“…Really?”

Lee Hyo-eul blinked once or twice and gave a new look. I tried to be calm on the outside, but I smiled softly on the inside.

This is the most outstanding advantage of Han So-young. Whatever you do, you can use your subordinates in the right place without having to show any authority. I am more capable of finding my way, so I fully entrust my authority to this part.

From Han So-young’s point of view, it means that she trusts and trusts me. I don’t feel so bad.

Slowly.

“Well, then, the mechanical road. Can you take a closer look at this part first?”

Lee Hyo-eul coughed in vain and moved the map to make it easier for me to see. Because of that, Han So-young came close to me and leaned her upper body, so I had to swallow my saliva. The scent of a mature adult…Oh, damn it. Let’s focus.

I even mobilized mind training and stared at what Lee Hyo-eul pointed out.

Lee Hyo-eul’s index finger pointed to the entrance of the Steel Mountains, to be exact, the part where the outpost is located.

“First of all, the Eastern expedition’s first march was very successful. According to yesterday’s call, I haven’t been attacked at all to the current point. You may be lucky, but seeing the signs of a monster’s escape from time to time, you can guess that the fire plan worked beyond your imagination.”

“So the monsters fled because they were frightened by a large firearm?”

“There’s a good chance of that. Anyway, the mechanical road. From the beginning, the East arrived at the outpost two weeks ago and went straight into the Iron Mountains the next day. And….”

“And?”

Lee Hyo-eul, who stopped talking for a while, moved her index finger. At first, the fingertips that had slid were drawn in a straight line. However, suddenly, he curved slightly to the left and then passed one part to stop the movement.

I kept an eye on that part of it. Not the stop, but the detour.

“Just yesterday, we stopped the march here.”

“Not going any further?”

“Yes, I think we’re going to build a fort at this point. He’s working on his fire plan and getting into position.”

“Get into position. Well, I think we can go in a little bit more.”

“That’s true, but I did agree for now. It’s better to secure a safe zone than to go in and bleed.”

“No. No matter how far you go, there’s too little distance. That’s… a week? No. No matter how long I held it, I only marched for about 10 days. Was there a problem in the middle?”

Yes, the spot where Lee Hyo-eul’s index finger stopped was a distance that I didn’t think he had marched for two weeks.

However, Lee Hyo-eul shook her head.

“No, it’s not a problem. Well, you know, it’s true that the East benefited from early entry. Having set fire for three days, the aftermath of the fire would have been able to break through the area quickly. But since then, the march has slowed significantly. Cho Seong-ho, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expeditionary Force, chose to get there safely, even if it was a little slow.”

That doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense. But I still feel uncomfortable.

I next pointed to where Lee Hyo-eul bypassed.

“Then one more. Why did you go straight and turn here?”

It was then.

As soon as I brought it up, Lee Hyo-eul’s eyes flashed with a light of agony. It was a moment, but I didn’t miss it.

“Oh, that? Mm-hmm.

“User Lee Hyo-eul. Weren’t each expedition supposed to share all the information?”

Speaking a little threateningly, Lee Hyo-eul opened her eyes wide and waved her hands.

“No! What’s wrong with you right now? That’s not that important, but I didn’t bring it up because there’s nothing confusing. I can’t give you the wrong information, can I?

“I’m confused?”

“Uh. The Eastern Expedition must have found a monster village there. Of course, it’s not a monster, it’s just a trail of escape, like I said earlier.”

“That’s even weirder. There’s no reason to take a detour if that’s all.”

“Actually, so am I. That’s why I said it’s confusing. But Cho Seong-ho has the right to command, so I don’t have anything to interfere with. He didn’t even mention anything important. Anyway, if you’re really curious about that, I think it’s better to go ask them separately.”

“…….”

Lee Hyo-eul shrugged as if she were protesting. The sight narrowed my eyes to the temple. Rather than saying it out of frustration, I felt as if I had prepared an answer in advance because I knew this question would come out.

I stared at Lee Hyo-eul for a while and calmly pulled myself together. In this kind of cooperative attack, we have to be most wary of distrust and quarrel. You must avoid creaking from the start.

Anyway, at least one possibility was confirmed through this meeting.

That’s exactly why the Eastern Expeditionary Force stopped advancing.

What on earth is Cho Seong-ho hiding? What else is he facing?

I was lost in thought, turning to the map.

“I don’t like it.”

Entering the tent, the oil well threw away the bag and chewed. Sasha, who was diligently organizing her sleeping bag in the corner, turned her eyes slightly.

“Don’t you like the radish so much? A female cat.”

“I just don’t like this sloppy fortress! I don’t even like that cocky ass who’s going all over the place! I don’t like the guy named Commander-in-Chief! Who the hell are you to tell my brother what to do? You’re spitting out informal speech.”

When Yoo-jung poured out harsh complaints, Sasha let go of her hand and was lost in thought for a while. It wasn’t long before the word “kkochu baby” referred to Ko Oh-hwan.

But more than that, it was true that I was more interested in the last words.

“More than anything, you must be unhappy with the commander-in-chief. Was it the Istanbul Low Road?”

“Oh, my God. When you’re on a march and you’re out of breath, you’re using voice amplification magic to order things. What kind of paper is my brother? Anyway, I’m being hard on you.”

“Well, I don’t think I remember much of the human woman giving instructions. And wasn’t most of the instructions for training? Anyway, I didn’t have a memory to be particularly unhappy. Not you?”

“Oh, you know. Originally, my brother was supposed to be in charge of the commander-in-chief, but where…Anyway, I feel dirty. Why should I obey the user? My brother is the only one who can order me.”

Yoo-jung showed nervous steps, expressing her continual dissatisfaction. Then Sasha lay down in her carefully laid-back sleeping bag.

Sasha blinked her eyes and took a big breath.

“Well, I think I know what you’re feeling. But don’t make it obvious. Excessive loyalty to a human being is sometimes poisonous. Listen carefully. A female cat.”

“I don’t know such things. And say a female cat one more time. It’s a male vampire.”

“It’s a vampire. It’s a proud bloodline. By the way, this sleeping bag was supposed to be used by me.”

“You’re of a proud lineage. Don’t you know Lady First?”

Sasha murmured, “Is it a thief cat?” Yoojung smiled and raised her upper body. Sasha, who laid the well back, escaped from the tent as if she were running away.

“What a self-indulgent young lady.”

Sasha, who shook her head and sighed deeply, soon began to move calmly. It was the outer direction of the fortress, not looking for another tent. To the southernmost point where you can see the Steel Mountains closest.

The Steel Mountains were quiet. And it was dark. Although some of the plans to attack the firemen have been blown open, nothing is still visible. Occasionally, a strange wind blew, but it only made the surrounding silence more noticeable.

The interior of the forest, where even the moonlight of the night sky had been eaten, was filled with only darkness and a gloomy atmosphere. Like you’re opening your mouth wide at the outpost.

When Sasha, who has such a firm face, was staring at the open entrance.

“You were the first one to go into the tent. What’s going on here all of a sudden? Dog nose.”

A beautiful voice rang Sasha’s ears. The woman who walked slowly along the rounded fence was none other than Helena.

“I was wondering if you could smell the wind. There was a lizard wandering around.”

“Ho-ho. The forest almost got eaten by the darkness. You talk a lot.”

Helena, who approached with a calm smile, soon turned around and stared inside the forest just like Sasha.

It’s been a little while since then.

Sasha, who had been staring at the forest for a while, glanced at Helena and opened her mouth with curiosity.

“Lizard. How is it?”

“What do you say?”

“Forest. Forest. Strangely quiet. How do you feel?”

“Forest nights are always quiet.”

Helena replied lightly. But Sasha shook her head slowly.

“You know I’m not asking you that.”

“Then? Why? Did your dog’s nose smell weird again?”

“Rather than being weird….”

“More than?”

“Yes, as you say, forest nights are always quiet. But….”

“……?”

Whoosh. Whoosh.

Then another wind blew, and Sasha gently closed her eyes. Then he blew his nose and breathed in the wind.

“Scream…”.Despair….”

“…What are you talking about?”

Sasha Felix murmuring quietly as if to herself. Helena asked, but Sasha said nothing. I just breathe in the wind with a focused face.

And a little later.

“It must be such a quiet forest..”

The wind broke and the silence fell on the road.

Sasha, who finally opened her eyes, made a slight frown. At the same time, his eyes glowed red and continued to talk quietly.

“How come the smell of death is so strong?””

============================ Review of the work ============================

Oh. I’m going crazy these days. Has anyone ever smoked an electronic cigarette? I’ve been coughing a little lately, but I think the cause is cigarettes. I think I should reduce it, but I can’t do as I please. I’m almost habitually looking for it now.I don’t know how to quit or reduce smoking, but I didn’ ㅜ.ㅠ
