Incompatible Interspecies Wives

Chapter 26: Building Honor (3)

- Kugung... crack... kugugung...

The sound of trees snapping and breaking could be heard in the distance.

Countless birds were soaring from where the sound resonated.

With that, we could determine the location of the Draigs.

Although their figures were not directly visible due to being hidden in the forest, it was clear from the monsters running between the trees.

Adam Hyung began the operation without hesitation.

Staying still would only make our bodies stiff due to tension. It was easier for everyone to control their bodies and minds by quickly springing into action.

"Krian."

"Yes, Captain! I wish you good luck! Let's go! The God of War, Dian, is watching over us!!"

Krian led his men and ran towards the forest.

These were baits to attract monsters near Draig.

"Theodore."

"I'll see you later, Captain! Let's go!"

The member in charge of support tasks, including Theodore, also set off.

Dust rose in front of my eyes, and the vibrations that shook the ground increased. The members started shouting to boost morale.

Meanwhile, Gidon and I, who hadn't left yet, exchanged glances, allowing the tension of the battlefield to flow between us.

A strange mental battle continued.

Adam Hyung continued to call the officers, and those who were already familiar with the orders participated in the subjugation along with their members.

Even with the continuous calls, our team's name wasn't mentioned, so Gidon remarked.

"The members are bravely charging ahead, while the Vice Captain is hiding well."

I responded, "...I look forward to seeing how brave Gidon-nim will be."

Afterward, more than half of the members left.

Adam Hyung called the name of the last officer, except for me, then looked back at us.

"...Berg. I'll be back."

"See you later."

Gidon frowned.

"Captain, where are you going? We are still..."

"Berg will move at the right moment. I hope Gidon-nim believes in Berg and follows that moment."

Adam Hyung then departed.

The rest of the members followed Adam.

Only 30 members of my Head Hancho Group and 30 members of Gidon's party remained, gazing at the forest where the others had entered.

"..."

"..."

Soon, I saw the members of our Red Flames riding horses through the dense forest, and the sounds of shouts and screams gradually echoed through the woods.

Gidon looked at me as I stood still, expressing his ongoing doubts.

Does it make sense that our group consists of only this many people? Should we believe that your Head Hancho Group, which targets leaders, is comprised of just... twenty or thirty individuals? Did any of the officers who left earlier have their own Head Hancho Group?"

"..."

Gidon's words brimmed with dissatisfaction and suspicion, but gradually, the underlying fear within him began to surface.
