Incompatible Interspecies Wives

Chapter 49: The Second Wife (1)

As Baran severed the neck of Saengdium, the horde of monsters seemed to freeze for a moment, as if the strings controlling them had been cut.

Those monsters closely tied to the boss perished, while the rest regained their senses and fled.

We took a brief moment to catch our breath. Before going to Adam Hyung, we had to assess our situation.

"Baran, you've done it,"

Shawn and Jackson exclaimed, pushing their way through the crowd.

One by one, others began to gather near Saengdium's corpse.

"Baran, well done."

Breathing a sigh of relief for overcoming the first hurdle, I spoke to Baran.

Baran smiled and replied,

"That makes it 59 now, thanks to you, vice-captain."

Surveying the scene, I was relieved to find even Burns, the newest recruit, had survived and regrouped.

He seemed to have been hit by something; his forehead was bleeding, but other than that, he didn't seem to have any problems.

"Casualties?"

When I asked that, no one responded.

It seemed no one was critically injured or dead.

"Good. Catch your breath, everyone. We're heading straight to Adam Hyung now." I nodded and said.

Then, I turned my head and looked at the battlefield.

We had drifted quite far from the main unit while subduing Saengdium.

Sounds of intense fighting were echoing from a distance, but... there were too many unknowns.

Were they alright?

What has changed in the plan?

Did they manage to subdue the enemy without us?

And most critically...

...Is Adam Hyung safe?

I pretended to be strong earlier as we had to continue fighting Saengdium, but of course, I was worried about Adam Hyung.

When plans go wrong, that's when lives are most at risk.

Turning my head, I gazed at the walls that surrounded the Celebrien territory.

"..."

And there I saw numerous elves atop the walls.

They all seemed to be watching our battle situation intently.

Baran, who was catching his breath, must have seen the same thing as he said, "...Looks like we've become quite the spectacle."

"They must be eager to see how this plays out," I responded briefly, then turned my head.

"Let's move now."

I pulled the reins, and my team followed suit.

Once again, I headed toward the most perilous battleground.

****

-Boo-whoo... Boo-whoo...

As Baran blew the horn, a response came back from Adam Hyung's location.

-Boo-whoo-whoo...! Boo-whoo-whoo...!

Of course, it was still uncertain whether Adam Hyung was safe or not.

Someone supporting Hyung on the other side could also be the one blowing the horn.

However, as we approached, my concerns gradually lessened.
