before the Allied Forces were formed.
The northern warriors set up a strategy.
I decided to give up Ain Bayer for a while.
1 step back for 10 steps forward.
Yeti Tyrant.
The moment they saw him, everyone in the north realized it. To defend the citadel against that monster is complete bravado.
“I know that everyone in the north is a warrior and immediately a force.”
Ren had already thought of everything about the strategy.
“However, this operation will not be successful without the elite among them.”
It wasn’t just knights and soldiers who were protecting the north.
Everyone living in the fortress, such as just doing business or handicrafts, were warriors who had withdrawn from the front lines or those who assisted soldiers.
But I couldn’t take them all on a guerrilla campaign.
“This is a very reckless operation.”
Allan objected, and so did the others.
“But there are possibilities.”
“If I can, I should do it at least.”
It was only Arthur and Stefan who supported Ren.
“This… , no. If you’re going to carry out that strategy, at least one more person… … !”
When Olive heard that she, along with the Black Panthers, would have to withdraw from the operation, she objected.
No, it was just a protest.
Such a backlash that he wants to fight honorably as well. But no one accepted Olive’s will.
“There is no way.”
“I think so too.”
Like Ren said, there was no other sharp option other than abandoning his last name.
The risk was too high to wait for reinforcements not knowing when they would arrive.
“As I said, mobility and stamina are very important in this operation. You never know how long you’ll have to hold out. If you can’t stand it, you can give up. Please tell the knights too.”
Ren said that, but he knew that no one would give up because he already knew their temperament.
I just said so nominally.
“Then, how will the personnel for this operation be organized?”
Stefan asked Ren.
“Commander, Arthur, Ralph, me. There are only four Commander-level ranks like this. And only the Amaranth Knights and the Golden Lion Knights are participating in this operation.”
“There will be a strong backlash from the soldiers.”
“It can’t be helped.”
According to Ren’s strategy, Amaranth and the Knights of the Golden Lion pretended to be soldiers while guarding the castle wall, while all the people in the fortress left Ain Bayer and headed south.
“We are now the Northern Special Forces, the Ain Bayer Retrieval Unit.”
While the monsters were preparing their battle lines for a while, the Northern Special Forces hid themselves in the snowy mountains through the eastern gate.
“What are your plans from now on?”
“We will roam the mountains to lure them in and continue to eat them.”
“We are too mobile for that. What measures do you have?”
Ren smiled at Stefan’s question.
There was a method that came to mind while returning to the North this time.
“I heard that a group of white wolves live in the east. Wolves are easier to handle than you think.”
“Baekrang? How hard is it to tame them?”
“you’re right. Even if we follow Lord Ren, it’s another matter for all of us to tame them.”
“They are intelligent too. If you can talk, you can negotiate. The situation of the Baekrang Tribe is not so good. Maybe he’ll like it when we go?”
“What do you mean by that?”
The executives did not understand what Len was saying at all.
Ren just laughed and said he would know later.
* * *
Awesome!
thud.
The ogre’s head fell off.
– Now you catch ogres pretty well.
Haram, the northern guardian deity embedded in the ogre habitat.
A muscular black-skinned giant, he is a warrior who wields a greatsword.
“The North has definitely gotten weird.”
Arthur muttered to Ren.
“that’s right. Mutations appear even among ogres.”
– Are there any twin heads? Too bad. It tastes like dropping his heads one by one.
Haram licked his lips and regretted it.
“I felt a sense of envy in this fight against Bruiser.”
– Interesting. That fighting spirit, I killed thousands of ogres and showered in their blood before I got the upper hand.
Haram did not know the term speculation itself.
Just because they were the biggest in the mountains, they slaughtered ogres and speculation arose.
“Now that we have captured Bruiser, the white wolves will listen to us.”
“Yeah, did I? They say they lost their nest and are looking for owners because of monsters going crazy right now.”
When Ren returned to the North, the White Rang he rode told him.
The White Wolves, who are not on the strong side of the mountain range, lost their nest as the territory of the monsters gradually became distorted.
There was no need to tame them as long as strong humans told them to take care of food and shelter.
“It is an alliance under mutual agreement.”
“The more you look at it, the more amazing it is. Sir Ren.”
Arthur looked at Ren with curious eyes.
“I am not great.”
The Northern Special Forces gained complete mobility by bringing back the White Lang tribe.
In addition to that, they could scout the surroundings with the mobility of the Baekrang tribe, so even if the special forces did not move, they could come and go in a wide range and check the monster corps.
Tyrant, a yeti, who stuck his ass to the fort and settled down.
Named monsters who assist him.
Below that, dozens of commander-level entities and thousands of monster corps existed.
The Northern Special Forces scouted the Baekrangs on Baekrang to check where the monsters were moving and accumulated damage by raiding them.
The monster legion became more and more cunning day by day.
They began to use strategies such as ambushing routes frequently used by special forces, or digging traps and waiting while pretending to move somewhere.
“It is clear that there is a monster with high intelligence in the army of monsters.”
“They’s level of strategy is getting higher and higher. It seems like you’re copying the way we do, right?”
Arthur and Ralph shook their heads in disgust.
As Stefan was struggling, Ren interrupted.
“It doesn’t make sense for a human to lose a head-to-head fight with a monster or something.”
“Then, is there any solution?”
“We are also selling traps. A trap to lure the mastermind of the monster army.”
At Ren’s words, the three of them looked at each other with their eyes shining.
I thought it was because there was something sharp about it.
“Do you have a plan?”
“okay.”
Ren thumps his chest! sighed and said
“I will be the bait. I’m probably a very short-sighted person even to them.”
“That can’t be done.”
“you’re right! We cannot put Sir Ren in danger again!”
“I will do it. Rather than Sir Ren, I-”
“If you do, will they come?”
It is to twist the bookshelf. It was clear that if he didn’t kill the mastermind of the monster corps, he would be in trouble in the future.
“I don’t even know what he looks like yet. We can’t bring him out unless there’s a certain way.”
“But Ren, what if you end up in danger? If you disappear, the meaning of our northern special forces is no different.”
Stefan was worried about that.
At first, the Northern Special Forces thought it was simply to gnaw on the monster army while conducting guerrilla warfare, but it wasn’t.
The real goal of the special forces is to catch the tyrant who leads the monster army.
To do that, Ren’s power was essential.
“Don’t worry. I’ll set up a trap that even they can’t help but fall into. To do that, you have to go all the way west. I have to meet the last guardian spirit.”
* * *
Following Ren’s strategy, the Northern Special Forces headed west toward the snowy mountains.
Almost two months later, they have become masters of mountaineering.
Most of the clothes were torn and worn, and they were covered with monster skins, and food was replaced with monster meat and the occasional fruit and plant.
In particular, trolls’ blood was very good for restoring injured bodies if purified well, and the corpses of monsters that were left after eating became mostly white wolves’ meals.
Thanks to this, the Baekrang tribe were now larger than when they first met the special forces.
“Hey, your body seems to be half as big as when I first saw you?”
Ren smiled as he watched Winnie, the chieftain of the White Wolves, chewing on the monster meat in front of him.
– Sniff! This is the original me! I couldn’t eat too much before, so I was just skinny!
“Pretending to be strong.”
“Winnie! Where are you? This older brother has been grilling delicious ogre forelimbs.”
Dominic, who had been carrying a piece of meat several times bigger on his forearm, looked around, saw Winnie, and approached.
Winnie salivated at the greasy ogre forelimbs.
“Old! Eat.”
“Kreung!”
“Oh, you eat well. Our Winnie.”
“Take good care of your white man. Why are you taking care of him?”
“My child is taking good care of himself. Isn’t this the chief of our Baekrang clan? Thanks to that, we can move in the mountains so comfortably, so we have to do this much.”
To say that, her eyes are so full of love.
It was cute and gave me a look that seemed like it would die, but I was confused about who the owner was.
‘Dominic, I didn’t know this guy liked animals.’
Possibly so, Ren climbed a tree and saw the canyon where the operation would soon take place.
The western canyon area where the snowy owls live. This is the other waypoint of the snowy mountain leading to the black land snowfield.
A place where even northern warriors left it unattended because it was difficult to deal with the snowy owls that fly through the sky and snatch soldiers with their sharp claws.
It was in the middle of gathering monsters from the monster corps, but the snowy owls hadn’t been absorbed into the corps yet.
‘If we try to hunt snowy owls, they will definitely come.’
Even if we don’t absorb the snowy owls, we won’t miss the opportunity to kill those of us who are tired of hunting them.
“If I go around the graveyard this time, is it the fourth?”
Ren remembered the last time he had spoken to Günter Heider before leaving the citadel.
– Until I catch the Shadow Archer, I won’t lend you my power. However, I do know one way to catch that Tyrant or the yeti.
– What is it?
– That ability of your guy. The ability to bring the soul into the body and assimilate it is important. With it, absorb all the fighting spirits of the Guardian Gods of the North.
– Does it make sense to absorb all speculation? After all, it would be meaningless if there was no fighting spirit to kill the yeti.
– No, you still don’t understand speculation properly. The fighting spirit of Sara, Haram, and Benny is close to that of monsters. Of course, if you look closely, it will be different. But you are different.
– what… is it different?
– The fighting spirit you must pursue is fighting against all monsters. It is a sound to create a speculation that can kill any monster beyond the speculation to kill a few species. If that’s possible, it would be possible to kill Tyrant as well.
– Fighting to annihilate all monsters… … .
– okay. It’s possible because it’s you.
“… … I didn’t know that at the time, but now I understand to a certain extent.”
Orange, blue, and red spirits shook Ren’s body at the same time.
Anger toward the entire kaiju that kills humans with blind malice, not just one kaiju.
After obtaining the three fighting spirits, the sense of anger began to stimulate Ren’s emotions little by little.
Kwajik!
I grabbed the fruit Ren was holding and crushed it.
Originally, Winnie would have jumped up and licked it, saying that the dripping juice was a waste, but now she couldn’t.
“Kreuuu… … .”
A strange power flowing around the owner.
Even though she knew that the hostility and anger were not directed at her, Winnie’s instinctive fear made her back.
“Winnie, what’s wrong?”
Dominic grabbed Winnie with a surprised face as he saw Winnie tremble.
Winnie’s eyes were on Ren, but he felt that Ren hadn’t changed much from before.
“Dominic.”
“Yes, yep!”
However, I could tell that the atmosphere had become a bit heavy.
“Prepare. Inform the Amaranth Knights as well. The operation will begin soon.”
