The Omega House

Chapter 14

Jungkook sat listening to everyone bicker about what to do next. Otgol village had been overrun with soldiers, and there was a debate on what to do. Namjoon wanted to take the village back. To make their presence and intent known. Some of the older officers believed they weren't ready for such an assault. Jungkook agreed with both, they weren't quite ready for such an assault but truthfully if they sat here too long they never would be.

Namjoon slammed his fist down on the table hard, shaking it enough to knock several items over. He stared down at the officer across from him, screaming that not taking the village now would be a mistake. The officer got close to Namjoons face and yelled, "We are not ready. Although I don't expect someone with your reputation to care how many we lose."

"ENOUGH!" Jungkook yelled as he stood up and walked over to the table, "You're both right. We aren't ready for an assault on the village, but we also have no choice. They are too close to the camp. If we don't take care of this and they move deeper into the forest they could find us. Then innocent blood will be spilled."

The officer scowled at Jungkook and moved into his space as he replied, "Who are you to talk to me this way?"

Before anyone knew what happened, Yoongi stood next to the pair, a blade on the officer's throat. He looked him in the eyes as he put pressure on the blade, effectively backing the man up several inches. Yoongi held his ground, his handshaking. Everyone understood why. They had all watched helplessly as the maknae almost died. Yoongi had done everything he could to save him and had barely left his side. Eventually, Jungkook pulled the sword from the elder's hand and handed it to a soldier behind him.

It was Jimin however that spoke first,  not even bothering to stand up from his chair, "He is my mate, and will lead this army at my side, as I have made known. So you will respect him along with General Namjoon. We will not leave the village people to die. Or put the people in this camp in jeopardy by chancing them to find us. We will attack, and take the village. Now leave us."

The officers all bowed before leaving the tent swiftly. Only after they all left did Yoongi breathe again. Looking at Jungkook with a soft smile before sitting down in a chair behind him. The tension in the room lightened slightly when Hoseok looked at Yoongi and started laughing. Soon all were laughing at the look on the man's face as the prince's physician put a sword to his throat.

"How are we going to do this though?" Jin asked simply as he looked at Namjoon, "He is right, the men are not ready.  Most of them are just learning to use a blade."

"Maybe they don't need to though," Taehyung said as he stood at Jimins side

Jimin smiled knowing what his friend meant. While they were not well trained with a blade, most of them had spent a good part of their lives in wolf form, hiding from soldiers. They knew the forest better than the king's men ever would. It gave them an advantage.
One that they could exploit easily.

Jimin looked at his mate with a grin who turned to Namjoon and said, "Hyung, why don't you choose 60 men?"

Namjoon nodded but with a giggle, not used to Jungkook giving him orders. He looked at Hoseok and said, "I'll have them report to you immediately.  If anyone can work something out it is you, you're a better fighter in wolf form than the rest of us. We will need some men trained with a sword though."

"There are a few that are decent with a sword,  but who is going to train them? We are all stretched to the limit. We don't have the time to train them." Yoongi said quietly.

Jimin got up and walked to the entrance of the tent and looked out at the camp. For a few quiet moments, he watched everyone move about their day, unaware that the war had started already. The orphaned children now a smaller group, thanks to efforts to find them homes, played together by the mess tent happily. After a moment Jimins eyes landed on the prisoner's quarters and something popped into his head.
