Incompatible Interspecies Wives

26 – Building Honor (3)

-Koo-Gung…Koo-Goo-Gung…

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

A lot of birds are taking off from where the sound is coming from.

You will be able to determine the location of the Draigs.

As much as it was hidden in the forest, its appearance was not directly visible, but it was clear from the monsters running between the trees.

Adam-hyung started the operation without hesitation.

Staying still will only harden your body from the tension. It was easier for him to control his body and mind when he quickly moved to action.

“Crian.”

“Okay, Captain! Good luck! Let’s go guys! The god of war, Diane, is watching over you!!”

Crian led his men and ran towards the forest.

These were baits to attract monsters near Draig.

“Theodore.”

“See you later, Captain! This is it!”

Theodore, where members in charge of auxiliary duties are united, also departs.

Dust rises in front of my eyes, and the vibrations that shake the ground increase. The crew also started shouting to raise morale.

In the meantime, Gidin and I, who hadn’t set off yet, were letting go of the tension of the battlefield.

A strange war of nerves continues.

Adam hyung then called the officers by name, and the officers, who had already learned the order, participated in the subjugation along with their members.

Gidin said when the name of our group did not come out even after the name calling continued.

“The members run so bravely, but the vice-captain is hiding well.”

I told him.

“…I look forward to seeing how brave Gidin-nim will be.”

Since then, more than half of the members have left.

Adam hyung called out the name of the last executive except for me, then looked back at us.

“…Berg. I will come.”

“See you later.”

Gidin frowned.

“Captain, where are you going? We still…”

“Berg will move at the right moment. I hope Gideen-nim believes in Berg and follows that moment.”

Then Adam started.

The rest of the members followed Adam.

Only 30 of my chief Joe and 30 of Gidin’s party remained and looked at the forest where the men had entered.

“…”

“…”

Soon, I saw the members of the crew driving horses through the thick trees in the forest, and shouts and screams came out one by one through the forest.

Gidin looked at me as I stood still and continued to express his doubts.

“…Vice-captain. Now, why don’t you speak frankly? Does it make sense that Chief Joe only has this? Believe me there are only…Twenty or thirty of your boss Joe? …Among the executives who started earlier, there must be a boss, Joe, right?”

“…”

Gidin’s words were full of dissatisfaction and doubt, but the fear within them gradually revealed itself.

The man who immediately mentioned his bravery hid his tail.

But again…Of course I can’t help but think that way.

Wherever you go, the boss Joe has the most members.

However, Joe, the leader of the Scarlet Troops, had fewer members than any other squad.

It must have been hard to believe that this was Chief Joe.

Shaun jokes again behind his back.

“Brother. If you’re afraid, you’re resting here. We’ll catch each other.”

“…”

Gidin made no reply to his jokes. The class consciousness of the aristocracy also becomes an additive in the face of the fear of death.

-Kugung…! Thud!

After the long wait, monsters started popping out of the forest one by one.

“…Comes out.”

Baran said.

And then, a huge Draig appears.

With a shockwave of thumps, Dry He let out a deafening sob, the vividness of which tingled through his skin.

Adam seemed to have succeeded in pulling the Draigs out of the woods.

Shaun whispered as he looked at the giant draigs.

“…Gee…Crazy…”

Jackson also prayed to the god of courage.

“…Mand…Grace.”

It was definitely a size I had never seen before. It was like a small castle.

Gidin’s breathing became rougher as he had already seen the monster.

“Let’s go.”

I told the crew and immediately started driving.

The crew members, who had been feeling uneasy, followed my orders one by one, suppressing their emotions.

Looking back, I saw a group of Gidins reluctantly following us.

I drew my sword from my waistband.

-Sureung!

The members also pick up their weapons at the same signal.

According to the plan, someone carries a bow, someone carries a spear, and someone carries a greatsword.

“Wish!”

“Yes!”

Baran pulls out a horn from his bosom and sends a signal to the entire battlefield.

-Boo Woo Woo…! Boo woo woo…!

A sign that we have encountered a boss.

From now on, the red yeomdan will finish the battle with the monsters and everyone will run away.

In order to increase the survival rate, the shorter the encounter with the monster, the better.

But at the same time, the threat posed to our leader, Joe, intensifies.

The monsters who lost their target to fight will gather around Draig again.

So before that, we had to see the end.

If only the boss is eliminated, the monsters will also be scattered or purified.

It was a structure where all the risks were focused on my boss, Joe… However, it was a strategy chosen by the red yeomdan to save many members.

Gidin, who caught up with him, drove his horse and shouted.

“Vice-captain! Are you crazy!! How the hell with these numbers…! Until the other members return-“

“If you are afraid, go back!”

I waved the reins and sped the horse up.

The members of the crew also followed me holding the reins firmly.

Dreig gradually got closer.

Every time the four-legged monster steps on the ground, it vibrates.

-Thump…! Thud….!

But no matter how close I got to Draig, I didn’t slow down.

The members also trusted me and did not slow down.

“Incessantly…! Gut…!”

In an instant, Gidin turned the horse’s reins. Numerous werewolves who followed him also leave.

Looking back, Gidin seemed to be spinning around Draig and trying to attack with arrows.

It may be a standard method, but we didn’t have much time.

I didn’t need them anyway.

I focused on the previous goal again.

“Get under the bridge!”

When I called out, everyone responded loudly.

During the long training and the time we spent together, the members had strong faith in me. They were the ones who would follow even if they knew death was ahead.

– Kung!

Soon over our heads, a giant draigs foot passes.

A huge shadow cast over it, revealing Draigs body.

“Attack!”

I gave the last command. From here on, everyone had to act with their own judgment.

-Tung!

Someone shot an arrow,

-Squat!

Someone scratched Draigs leg with a sword.

Baran raised the spear from the side and threw it upward strongly.

“Suck!”

-Pak!

A spear pierced Draieg’s torso.

The bursting blood splashed over our heads.

A wild cry erupts from Draigs again.

The subjugation has begun.

****

Ner couldn’t figure out what the tremors that started in the morning were.

My heart kept pounding, and I couldn’t stay still no matter what I did.

It was a different feeling than when the werewolves usually went out to subdue them.

Back then, of course, I was anxious, but now, a strange feeling was added to that anxiety.

No matter how much I thought about what this was, I couldn’t come up with an answer.

She was just looking at the forest and nature beyond the Blackwood estate when she came to her senses.

From far away, sometimes the cries of monsters could be heard.

“…”

Why do I feel this way?

Ner calmed his heart and tried to think about him.

…Is it because they expect Blackwood to be liberated?

Is it because he’s worried about the Blackwood soldiers and older brothers who went along with the human mercenaries?

Is it because he is afraid that this subjugation will fail?

“…”

…Not likely. That kind of anxiety had been there for a long time… It wasn’t like this at that time.

Ner tried to be more honest.

…Maybe it’s because of Berg.

Admittedly, that seemed like the answer.

Maybe it’s because I couldn’t share my energy in the morning.

Maybe he feels repulsive about the death of someone who has been on his side.

I didn’t like Berg, but I didn’t want him to die… Maybe.

Of course, there was no doubt that Berg treated him kindly, but Ner did not feel a deep bond with him to the extent of devoting his body and soul to him.

He wanted to be apart, if only he could still be with him. He has only been with him for a few days now.

She couldn’t help herself like this either. Although she would be disappointed if Berg listened to her thoughts, she was her true heart.

Nevertheless, Ner wandered around trying to calm her unsettled mind.

They said the results would come out in two or three days… I wondered what Berg was experiencing.

He hated being connected with him, but he kept wondering how he was doing.

Ner let out a long sigh.

“Ner.”

And as she wanders around, of course, she meets her sisters again.

“…”

After the incident before, Ner didn’t know what to do with her brothers.

The fight I won with Berg on my back. Right now, that Berg was out on the battlefield.

But even her older sisters didn’t seem to want a big fight right now.

Instead, it was just a light sarcastic remark.

From noble mtl dot com

“…With her husband on her back, she was very strong…But that was the only time.”

“…”

“Because the older brothers will set the ball higher than your vice-captain. I found out…No one knew the vice-captain?”

Ner frowned.

A dirty feeling is added to a bad mood.

She’s the same younger sister as herself, so why is she splitting sides like this?

A bitter emotion rises from her heart every time.

And this time it was worse.

Ner bows beside them… He turns and walks away.

I didn’t want to deal with them today.

The further I got from them, the faster I walked.

Her terrible loneliness found her again.

****

“…Ha…Ha…”

-Thuduk…Thud!

When I give my strength one last time, Draigs head is cut off.

The monsters that had flocked to the area were dispersing, and the battle was over.

I looked around while wiping the monster’s blood from my face.

With me at the center, the members of the head group who participated in the subjugation are flocking one by one.

“Vice-captain…Haa…You did it.”

“Huh, I was going to catch it today.”

“What are you thinking about getting on top of there?”

I was grateful that they were still alive, but I counted them.

In many cases, we only found out who was dead and injured after it was over.

But there was a feeling that something was going well today.

Draig was as dull as it was huge.

It was an easier subjugation opponent than expected.

There were unexpectedly few monsters bothering us.

I hoped that there would be few casualties.

Barando soon rode up and approached.

He smiled at me too, wiping his blood-soaked face.

“Baran. Thank you for drawing attention earlier.”

“No, vice-captain.”

“Any casualties?”

“I haven’t seen anything. Maybe no one was hurt.”

Then Baran looked around him and said.

“…Actually…The monsters were concentrated on Gidin-nim’s group…There was something more comfortable than that. It may not have been their intention. I can’t see where you’ve been.”

After waiting like that, even the rest of the members gathered.

No one was missing.

I finally let out a sigh of relief.

The situation was good.

-Babam…! Babam…!

A trumpet sound is heard in the distance.

It was Adam’s signal.

I tied Draig’s hair with a rope and hung it on my horse.

Everybody would soon flock to that signal.

We were no exception.

I said with a smile to the crew, relieved that the situation had been resolved pleasantly.

“Okay, let’s go back.”

.

.

.

.

As I led the horse by the neck of the leader, the members cheered.

We walked the path they parted ways.

At the end were Gidin and Adam.

Even the fact that Gidin is not dead comes as a relief.

I hated him, but that didn’t mean I wanted him dead.

It seemed that he could avoid many troubles in his life.

I got off the horse, and Adam came over to me and gave me a strong hug.

“Berg. Great job.”

“No. I think Crian led the monsters pretty well. There was nothing in the way.”

After hugging my brother, I looked at Gidin.

Unlike before the battle, his eyes have changed a lot.

Even at a glance, his eyes seemed to acknowledge me.

The werewolves were comfortable in this respect.

Does not easily ignore the opponent who defeated him.

I looked at Gidin and said.

“I’m glad you look okay.”

“…”

“What about the brothers?”

“Safe…”

Looking around him, the atmosphere wasn’t very good.

Even though the brothers and myself were safe, it seemed that there were casualties.

In the presence of a dead person, I didn’t want to fight with him.

And even without speaking, he seemed to already know.

None of our head teammates died.

Those who were courageous lived, and those who were frightened of Gidin died.

Gidin would already know who to blame.

And that fact must have come as a humiliation.

Since he was the one who mentioned his bravery, he will have no choice but to blame himself.

I was satisfied with just pressing his high nose.

I didn’t want to continue the fight.

Suddenly, I wonder how Ner will react when he returns to the manor.

I didn’t want her to be afraid of Gidin because of me.

I turned around.

“…The vice-captain.”

Gidin called me from behind.

“…?”

“Just one… Ask.”

“…Ask me.”

“…What is the subjugation record like?”

I turned and looked at Draigs severed neck.

If it was like a werewolf to hang himself on that record, then it was like a werewolf.

No, maybe he needed information to accept the current situation.

Why did they die and why did we live?

Maybe he was looking for the reason.

Baran and Adam looked at me again.

There was no need to be humble anymore.

If you want an answer, you just have to give it.

“…184 This time.”

“… Ha.”

At that, Gidin let out a devastated laugh.
