Evolution Theory of the Hunter

“What’s that sound?”

The hiding hunters looked around.

Soo-ah and I didn’t wait and immediately jumped down.

“Urg!”

“Krg!”

We closed their mouths to prevent them from making noise and laid them down.

Thankfully, we were able to finish it before they could call their comrades.

“I’m sorry.”

Soo-ah bowed down.

It was a situation where we could have gotten caught but it went without a problem. It was difficult to get that close without getting caught in the first place.

“It’s fine since it worked out.”

As we took care of the patrol members, the rest of the group carefully approached. I could feel An Gyu-bum persistently staring at me. Why was this guy like this again.

“Who much is it?”

“What is?”

“The item that lets you fly in the sky. I will give you as much as you want so sell it.”

I was wondering what it was, so it was about that. Certainly, it was right to say that there was almost no item that could allow movement in the air. That kind of item was rare to the extreme so it wasn’t even sold often in the market.

“1t.”

“Truly preposterous.”

What is it. That expression that looks like its looking at trash.

This is the market price.

The Angel Shoes Soo-ah was wearing was a level 6 new item. The Delta Store was only open up to level 5 so it was an item that couldn’t be bought even with any amount of money.

That was why 1t was a reasonable price.

Of course, there was some margin added to it.

Some added because he’s the grandson of the GE Group, some added because he tried to kill me in the past, some added because I wasn’t feeling good right now.

It wasn’t like we had a good relationship and since a guy I didn’t like wanted something that much was cheap.

“Quiet. We are proceeding like this.”

Eum Young-hyeon shhed and put his index finger on his lips.

Going forward a bit more we could see the surroundings get brighter. There were hunters going around here and there holding torches. Looking down from atop a tree it was possible to see Chungho Group hunters sleeping with only a blanket without a tent.

There was a ring of light several kilometers in radius made of campfires and torch lights. Which probably meant that the government team was isolated inside of that circle.

There did seem to be the advantage that it was easy for the government team found it easy to block attacks because their base was on a high ground.

Even so, there was a large difference in numbers. If they wanted to then they could annihilate them in an hour.

Our target was to create an opening and rescue the government team.

The number of monsters I had was a total of 511. If I let all of these loose and pushed through from one point it wasn’t difficult to get through the siege.

The problem was after that. Even if a road to the top of the hill was made the Chungho Group’s numbers were overwhelmingly higher. It was only a matter of time before the retreat route was closed up.

It meant that going in was easy while leaving was difficult.

On top of that, the majority of the monsters were level 1 or 2. Thinking about the level of the Chungho Group hunters each monster would be able to do the work of 1.5 soldiers.

In other words, they would be able to take down about 800 with them.

The chance of winning in head on collision was slim.

That’s why the prepared was to look one way and row another.

For now, Delta Team 2 will circling around to the other side. If we give the signal they will begin attacking with part of the monster army.

While the enemy was focusing on the other side I would go in on my own while the defense was low.

After that, I would summon the rest of the monsters to penetrate the siege.

The siege that had to be penetrated twice only had to penetrated once so it could be said that the difficulty was much lower.

Soo-ah told the specifics of the operation to team 2. She had gotten quite good at doing that kind of thing now.

“Listen up. There is no need for you guys to strain yourselves and fight hard. Just control the monsters from behind and immediately retreat if it gets dangerous, got it?”

“Yes. Elder sis.”

Jang Moon-bok’s group nodded their heads. While they were moving to the other side with the monsters, we took a break.

They had to do well.

“They will do well.”

Han Joon-suk said. This guy, he had to fix his habit of reading people’s thoughts.

“Is that so?”

“They were doing their part even when party leader wasn’t there. Their abilities weren’t bad too.”

That was good then. I think it was fine to say that my luck was good since the troublesome guys that somehow rolled in were more useful than I thought.

A while later, a message came from Jang Moon-bok.

– We have gotten into place. We will attack as soon as you give the order.

The preparations were completed for now.

– Begin.

I finished writing the message and pressed send.

At that, the Giant White Tiger’s roar resounded. As expected, a tiger was the best in aggro.

The sound of swords and shield colliding could be heard from all around.

I could see the hunters that were sleeping hurriedly get up and get their gear.

Dozens of hunters passed by the tree we were hiding in.

After ten or so minutes had passed, Park Chan-hyeong opened his mouth.

“It’s now.”

I stepped on the Dancing Sword and jumped into the air. A lot of the troops had left but there were quite a few troops left.

However, they were all tense because of the battle happening on the other side.

It would have difficult to get through if it had been day though. I quickly passed by each time the moonlight was blocked.

From here on, there was at least 500 meters until the top of the hill. It seems the trees between the Chungho Group and the government team were all cut down and were used to create a wooden fence for the government team.

It was a difficult thing to run that distance while not getting spotted.

“It’s an enemy!”

But even so, I got caught too quickly.

I quickly ran up the hill. I ran at my maximum speed.

I could hear arrows flying towards me from behind.

I decided to keep running while trusting my armor.

As I kept running while ignoring the rain of arrows passing by, I was soon able to arrive at the wooden fence in front of the government team.

“Who, who are you!”

Someone shouted from the top of the wooden fence. I wanted to explain slowly but there was no time for that.

A triple jump using the Dancing Sword. I lightly jumped over the over 3 meter high wooden fence and got into the base of the government team.

I did get caught but I was able to successfully get in.

“It’s the Chungho Group. Kill him!”

“Ahhh!”

And spears flew in from all around.

At least check who it is before attacking.

As I moderately took down several attackers, dozens holding swords came at me.

In a situation where the situation was getting worse, I found a face I knew.

It was Kim Jong-oh. It was the shield user I beat up at government team 1.

“Hey! You! You know me right?”

“Huh……? You bastard! As expected, you were a Chungho Group member!”

No…… that’s not it.

Did I act like I knew him for nothing?

“Please wait.”

At that moment, Son Aram came squeezing through the people.

I did think that she would be alive. But still, seeing her fine like this made me sigh in relief.

“Why did you not answer my phone?”

“I’m sorry. I lost it while running away.”

“Either way, it’s good that you’re alive.”

“It’s thanks to this guy.”

As Son Aram tapped the ground the Milworm popped up from the ground.

She stroked it with movements that were still awkward.

“I almost died a few times but I survived thanks to this guy. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Son Aram bowed down deeply.

I thought that it was a good idea that I put him on her.

“But how did you come all the way here? The surroundings are completely blocked. Ah. Is the commotion outside by any chance…….”

“I came in the time they were occupied to some degree. We have to leave immediately. I will be needing to talk with the government team leader.”

“Yes. Please follow me.”

***

“There would no other choice besides that right now.”

The leader of government team 1 nodded his head at my words.

The problem was team 3.

National Defense Department Alternative Service Section Chief Joo Sae-yoon.

He was the one that was currently leading team 3. He showed concern at my opinion with a face full of wrinkles.

“Isn’t it too dangerous?”

“It is possible if all forces are combined.”

“It’s not like we never thought about trying to penetrate the siege. However, we gave up because we determined that it was too dangerous even if it did succeed. What changes just because you alone are added?”

So simply said, it’s something like who are you to butt in is it. Normally, I would have left this guy whether he died or not but it was a situation where I needed the power of even this kind of guy so it couldn’t be helped.

There was no choice but to show him to be trusted.

“What if I wasn’t alone?”

“What…… Are you saying that someone else has come in here?”

I headed to the large vacant lot in the wooden fence instead of replying. After making the people get back and prepare a large area, I slowly started summoning monsters.

“Huh…….”

Joo Sae-yoon’s face that was surprised at first started turning into astonishment and then fear.

As the Giant White Tiger opened its mouth wide like it was yawning, the people retreated like a tide.

“Wha, wha, what is that!”

“They are my summoned beings. There are over 500 of them. If we move with these then we can definitely break through.”

“It…… won’t be dangerous right?”

“My children don’t bite.”

“Is, is that so……?”

Joo Sae-yoon carefully extended his hand to the Giant White Tiger.

“Ahhh!”

“Ah. Please don’t touch him. He’s ferocious.”

“You said it doesn’t bite!”

Joo Sae-yoon shouted looking at his half disappeared wrist.

That was also bitten as a joke so if it had been bitten seriously then his hand would have disappeared.

The entire government team stood standing by in front of the wooden fence. There was resolution on the expression of the over 2,000 people. Jang Moon-bok had already swept up the enemy base and retreated.

I put all the civilians like Son Aram and people that got injured and couldn’t run on horses.

There weren’t enough horses so two people had to ride on one. In severe cases there were three on one.

I thought that it wouldn’t work out like this so I hurriedly summoned more horses. There were still plenty of items so I had no problem getting more horses.

After putting them all on horses I got on the Giant White Tiger. I considered riding a horse but I thought that it would be intimidating to be on the Giant White Tiger.

I did not do so to look cool.

Finally, I put an eagle in the air. It will tell us the direction the least number of them are. I stroked the Giant White Tiger and opened my mouth.

“Let’s go.”

Roar!

A roar that shook the forest came out from the base. The powerful force coming out of 500 monsters spread to the surroundings.

Some hunters lost strength in their legs and collapsed.

Get yourselves together. You guys.

The Giant White Tiger ran, destroying the wooden fence’s door.

Behind it the monster army and the government team hunters further behind it came pouring out.
