Evolution Theory of the Hunter

“Ah…… what in…… the world…….”

He, who was on the horse, couldn’t continue his words. He was looking at the monsters that were lined up and bustling without breathing.

I got off the horse and started stroking the Giant White Tiger at the very front that was exuding his power as the leader.

He growled lowly while showing his teeth. Chan-hyeong breathed in while getting terrified.

To think he would get that surprised.

This guy is pretty cute though.

I patted the Giant White Tiger’s cheek a couple of times and indicated the battle going on at the open area.

I didn’t have to worry about it not understanding.

Because I at least checked that the summoned monsters properly understood and moved at my command several times.

“The ones attacking the wooden fence is the enemy. Don’t forget and bring all of their corpses here.”

“Roar!”

The Giant White Tiger raised its head and roared loudly.

Following that, the 600 or so monsters also started crying all at once.

The line of sight of the hunters that were fighting all came here. Due to that, although it was only a moment the battle was stopped for a bit.

“Please convince the government team 2 and have them fight with the monsters. It might be lacking with just these guys after all.”

“So I have to go into that for now I see.”

The wooden fences made around the open area was surrounded by the Chungho Group.

It would normally be something that one wouldn’t even think of trying to penetrate that. However, if the monster army started actively moving then there will be a gap that appears that we can slip in to.

“Then please get going.”

Park Chan-hyeong kicked the bottom of the horse he was riding.

The horse neighed loudly and ran like the wind.

“Ahh! What are you doing?”

Behind him who was screaming, the 600 monsters started running as well.

It looked like Park Chan-hyeong was the one that was leading the monsters.

I also took a horse and ran after them.

The Chungho Group was thrown into chaos at the monster army that suddenly came swarming.

Park Chan-hyeong succeeded in squeezing through a gap to pass through.

I knew for the first time that the Agentaya Mongol Horse had such great jumping power.

It lightly jumped over an almost 3 meter high wooden fence.

Either way, it was important that Park Chan-hyeong could convince team 2 to fight the Chungho Group.

It was because it would be impossible for 600 monsters to chase away all several thousand of the Chungho Group members.

If those guys didn’t come out then I was planning on despawning the monsters and retreating.

There was no reason to fight if I took a lose after all. And if it went like that then the one that gets doomed is government team 2.

This meant that the fate of team 2 was dependent on Park Chan-hyeong’s talking skills.

“Hah!”

I went to the forefront and ran in parallel with the Giant White Tiger.

It did look cooler to ride on the tiger but there was the problem where it couldn’t fight properly while riding it. Since there was a person on its back its movements would be limited and its speed decreased as well.

It was a situation where even one stronger monster was needed so I decided to be satisfied with riding the horse instead.

The monster army attacked the back of the Chungho Group and charged in like a wave.

The enemies got confused as to where they should attack and the monsters that got in through the gaps started tearing down their formation.

“Ahh!”

“Monsters are……!”

“Mother!”

I could hear the dying screams of the hunters all around.

I also cut down the Chungho Group members by sending the Dancing Sword.

Every time the Aura Blade covered Dancing Sword danced, at least one Chungho Member collapsed.

I went around in a large circle around the wooden fence like that clearing up the Chungho Group.

Even if they were individually hunters formation became greatly important with this many numbers.

The Chungho Group that got attacked from behind were being attacked from the front and back now and started retreating in a chaotic way.

“Sweep them all!”

From the monsters that attacked from above the ground, under the ground, and from the sky the enemies scattered like ants.

It was important to cut down their moral in the beginning. The Chungho Group was also a gathering of veteran hunters.

They weren’t people that were scared of monsters. They did fall into chaos because of the sudden situation but I was sure that they would soon reorganize and counterattack.

This side had the advantage at least until then. And if we start getting pushed back, then government team 2 will not want to come out at all cost.

I made the horse run faster as I rampaged through the enemies.

The Dancing Sword danced around as it scattered light.

The battle ended in a more boring way than I thought. I don’t know if it was Park Chan-hyeong’s persuading ability or if that side was quick in deciding but when it was barely 10 minutes since the monster army started attacking the Chungho Group the wooden door opened and hunters came pouring out.

It was a difficult process to make the monsters move so that they don’t meet the government team but it wasn’t that difficult to control that monsters that listened to my every order.

We didn’t chase after the fleeing Chungho Group this time around. It was because they weren’t running away in a disorderly way but while keeping formation.

In such a situation I would only see a loss if I sent the monsters.

Instead, I mobilized the monsters to gather all the corpses of the Chungho Group members. There were quite a few that had dropped items in that time.

I had been moving to earn a profit while government team 2 was elated with their victory.

The number of dead enemies was around 1,000. I wasn’t able to get all the equipment they dropped but as I got most of it I was able to collect a total of about 1,500 items.

100 monsters had died so there were currently 500 of them remaining.

In other words, I had invested 100 items and got 1,500 items.

It was said that war was profitable but this wasn’t just profitable, this was a huge profit. I had gotten over 2,000 items with just two battles.

The manual was slowly reaching its limit. I was wondering when I would fill all 1,000 slots but it was now almost completely full.

It was only fine for now since it could infinitely stack items of the same type, otherwise it would have overflowed a long time ago.

The monster as well only numbered a few dozen types despite their numbers so they didn’t really take up much space in the item list.

I thought that I would have to summon them forcefully if it became full.

I was ordering like that when my phone rang.

Looking at the name it was Soo-ah.

“Yeah. Why?”

[Are you alive?]

“Then who do you think the one on the phone with you is.”

[That’s good. I called you several times before as well but you didn’t receive them at all you see.]

“Did something happen?”

[Something happen you say. Isn’t that side more of a problem? It was quite chaotic though? Especially government team 2 where monster suddenly appeared and turned into complete chaos……]

Concern could be felt from her voice.

Perhaps I should have contacted her in the middle.

“There’s not much of a problem. Also, the monsters were spawned by me.”

[Yes? The monsters that seonbae oppa spawned are all here though.]

“I newly spawned them. I did use some items but it was increased several times over so don’t worry.”

[I don’t worry about that kind of thing. You have to use it when you need to. So when are you coming back?]

“After I clear things up here, ah. If it’s fine with you guys how about coming to the government team 2’s base? Since the Chungho Group is prowling around it might become dangerous.”

[Yes. I will try talking with everybody first.]

After exchanging a few more words we ended the call.

I was planning on calling over my party members for now.

I didn’t think that the battle with the Chungho Group would be over with this. In such a situation, it was definitely dangerous to leave my party members alone.

If they think that they can’t win then there is a high chance that they would use guerrilla warfare. If that happened then the main target would be the normal hunters that were hunting separately.

Even if the level of my party members was high and even had monsters escorting them, it was difficult to know a person’s fate.

“I will have to delay going back.”

It was important to find ruins as well but right now, taking care of the Chungho Group was more desperate.

If the government team had taken care of it well on their own then I wouldn’t have had a need to butt in but it looks like it will be difficult on their own…….

Also, the by-products that dropped here in the war was a lot more profitable than I thought.

It was a profit that I wouldn’t have been able to earn if I had participated in the government team from the beginning. It did feel like I was being a bit sly but well I think I’m taking as much as I contributed.

If it wasn’t for me, then government team 2 would have been annihilated today or would have become tools for negotiation as prisoners of war after all.

After collecting all the items, I rode the horse to the wooden fence where the government team 2 was.

I had to get the horse back from Park Chan-hyeong for now and I was going to receive credit for what just happened too.

Slap.

“Let’s control my expression. Control my expression.”

I lightly slapped my face to control my mind.

Even if they won the war, it probably wasn’t like the government team didn’t have any casualties. There was no need to go around greeting them with a smile in such a place.

The hunters were collecting the items that I had not been able to collect outside the wooden fence.

Shame. That’s all money too.

A hunter that recognized me on the Agentaya Mongol Horse opened the wooden fence door.

I lightly greeted him with my eyes and went in. Inside the wooden fence was a not so wide area where 1,500 people were having a break while calming their excitement.

“Over here!”

Park Chan-hyeong’s voice could be heard. He was waving his hand at me in front of a rather large tent.

A middle aged man that seemed pretty old was looking at me from the side. Was that person the leader of team 2.

Name : Eum Yeong-hyeon

Equipment : Obliteration Axe (7) , Rugged Tree Stump Armor (6) , Mirror Pendant (5)

Skill : Battle Cry (7)

Definitely looked quite strong. That was a level where he could definitely win against Wee Oong-bee.

The additional accessory was a level 5 and he was overall at a level where he could be called a level 7.

I got off the horse and ran towards Chan-hyeong.

“Thank you very much. Thanks to you my younger brother was safe.”

“What happened to younger brother by the way?”

“He’s recovering since he got an injury. It’s not a large injury so you don’t have to worry.”

“Please you this just in case.”

I handed him a Wound Cure Potion. After the two battles I got a large amount of consumables so it was fine to hand over one like this.

I had over 20 of the hard to find Cooldown Reset Potion. The number of Wound Cure Potions was in the three digits.

“What is this?”

“It’s a recovery potion. If one drinks this a regular injury can be healed.”

“Th, thank you. To give even such a thing…….”

“It’s not free so please pay for it later.”

I tried getting credit for no reason. Even if I didn’t say so Chan-hyeong seemed like he might even offer a liver at this rate.

“Please don’t worry. I will do anything as you command.”

Well, it was better the more people there were. If he went together with team 2’s Jang Moon-bok then he might be useful.

He didn’t seem like he had a bad personality and I was a bit good at reading people so this kind of guy had a hard time backstabbing. If anything, he would be the one that gets backstabbed.

“Are you the one that brought the monsters?”

Eum Yeong-hyeon who had approached at some point stretched out his hand.

I had shaked his hand with light feelings but I could feel him put in great strength into his hand.

I smiled lightly and put in a bit of strength.

Squeeze!
