I Was Discharged From the Hunter Guild chapter 56

56 – You are my precious colleague

After Kwon Soon’s story is over.

I had to remain silent for a while.

A story that is heavier than I thought.

More than anything else, as an adjutant of the 28th guild, as I heard the news about the incident, I couldn’t help but feel it more strongly.

‘The desertion of the 13th guild and the recovery of Pyongyang… I saw some unpleasant parts in many ways, but I didn’t expect there to be an inside story like this…’

In fact, the tactic of sacrificing troops for public achievement was one of the tactics that was surprisingly commonly used.

For reconnaissance, or to lure the enemy…

Sacrificing a cow for the great has historically proven its tactical effectiveness.

However… even so, the act of thoroughly betraying one’s allies, using it as a discard, and even tarnishing its honor could be said to be an act that crossed the line enough, even if its effectiveness was excluded.

‘Above all… the thing I don’t like the most is the disgusting inner feelings that bastards must have.’

Nominally they would be babbling like this.

It was inevitable to sacrifice a cow for the sake of the generation and at the same time raise the morale of the allies.

As much as it sounds good to hear that deserters were dealt with rather than sacrificing allies during the operation, and it will help to capture the discipline. This is an inevitable sacrifice made for the sake of the country.

However, this is just nonsense that is worse than a dog named ‘for the cause’ that they often carry.

I knew very well that more than 80% of its contents were nothing more than sacrificing allies for its own power and success.

Truly effective commanders do not proceed on the basis of sacrifice.

If the act of sacrificing a cow for the common cause is repeated, you may be able to win right away, but eventually you will be destroyed due to the accumulated damage.

This is an act equivalent to paying off debt in the future for the sake of victory now.

Whether in terms of manpower or overall loyalty of the military.

Victory based on sacrifice has clear limits.

The best tactic is to avoid damage to allies as much as possible and to only fight perfectly viable battles.

This was the ultimate goal I had pursued so far, and although I may hear that it is frustrating, the calculation of gaining victory at the expense of my allies was not in my head at all.

However… most of the soldiers, including the upper echelons, did not have such thoughts.

Their goal is to prove their abilities and rise to higher positions by producing results as quickly as possible.

To this end, they often sacrificed their allies only for dramatic results, even though they could choose a sufficiently different method.

It wasn’t just speculation.

It was a fact that I could understand because I had seen with my own eyes and ears how the adjutants and guild masters of other guilds who were right next to me were managing their troops while serving as an adjutant.

Of course, there are some guys who manage the unit soundly among them, but not a few are hunters…

In particular, there were many cases in which low-ranking hunters of the B and C ranks considered them as simple consumables and rolled their units.

Although they wear the pretentious pretext of winning the war and for the sake of the country, in reality, there are a lot of trash who regard human life as a chess piece for their own power and success.

In particular, the higher you go up, the more there are such people, so there is no need to say more about how much the upper level where such people are gathered is a collection of trash,

This was especially noticeable during large-scale operations, when the powers of adjutants were reduced and those of command were strengthened.

If there is a difference, the sacrifices that lieutenants demand from lower hunters in peacetime

In the case of large-scale operations, there was only a difference in scale that was required in guild units.

‘Still, I’ve never been ordered to become such an expendable item, but in fact, it’s only natural if you look closely. Our guild’s guild master is the daughter of the Vice Minister of Defense.’

As the bags of the so-called high-ranking people were in place, of course there was no way they would be sent on missions to be used as chess pieces and die.

Although I did carry out a few fairly dangerous S-class missions, it was only because it was a situation where I had to deal with the urgent situation of the war, and in the process, I had to listen to countless objections from the upper echelons.

I often heard people say why they did such a dangerous thing, but at least there was no case where they were given a 100% death confirmation mission as discarded chess pieces, like Kwon Soon did.

So, as someone who was once a soldier…

At the same time, as a person who grasps the overall inside story

When I was feeling pity and sadness…

Kwon Soon, who had been silent for a moment, spoke in a much lighter voice than before.

“But… fortunately the story didn’t end completely bleak. Although the woman named Joggs wandered around for a while after that incident… Fortunately, she met people she could rely on even a little bit. People like Are and Glass behind me right now.”

“..yes.. that’s really.. well done.”

At Kwon Soon’s words, I answered with a slightly strained smile, and looking at me like that, she returned to her usual mischief..

But at this moment, he continued talking with an expression that did not look so bright to my eyes.

“Well, what a boring story. now you know What kind of relationship do I have with that person named Rod Dae-seung? As the adjutant is worried about, there’s nothing like that guy and I cooperating in this matter. In fact, we haven’t been in touch since two years ago, and this time, we only recognized each other by chance.”

“No… I wasn’t worried about that.”

“yes? why.”

Regarding Kwon Soon, who asked me back with a little doubt about my words, I spoke while looking at her with a clear voice.

“Because I knew, at least the fact that Joggs wouldn’t be involved in such a thing. As I said before, you are a good person.”

“… ”

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Joggs slightly turned his head at my words.

Then she asked me with a slightly trembling voice in that position.

“What.. what.. then why did you ask this? I also… I thought you were trying to find out what was wrong with me, so I told you in detail.”

She speaks in a slightly gruff tone.

Regarding this, I explained without any lies the intention of asking this question in the first place.

“Of course I was worried. A colleague has a face like that. As an adjutant, there’s no way you can’t not care.”

“ah..”

“Even if the time we spent together wasn’t that long, Joggs, you are my precious colleague and the hunter I need to support. At least, if there is something frustrating or something that requires consultation, please tell me without hiding it. I’ll try to solve it where possible, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll listen to the story like this.”

To my words, Kwon-soon showed a slightly flinching reaction with her head turned.

Then, she said in a voice that seemed to be creeping in, somehow the tips of her ears were slightly red.

“… You’re really… that’s why you’re listening to Hogu’s voice… There’s a limit to being nice to people..”

Kwon Soon speaks in a tone as if he is dissatisfied.

But… Then, in a small voice, she threw this one word at me as if to listen.

“..but.. okay.. then listen to me often when needed..”

“yes. All right.”

At Kwon Soon’s words, I put a slight smile on my lips.

Even if you do this or that. Seeing her look much better than before, I also started to feel a little calmer.

at that time..

“In a glass plane, cell phones…”

“Now is not the time to argue about that! Aide! Come here quickly! Come on Joggs too!”

The next moment, Glass calls us with an urgent voice.

So, feeling suspicious, we headed straight to where she was.

Even on the plane, she is turning on the Internet.

Although it was known that the recently designed aircraft types would not interfere with air operations, it was nevertheless an action not recommended as a contingency.

But at this moment…

Looking at the contents of Glass’ cell phone, we no longer have time to worry about such things.

“What.. what.. this is..”

“South Korea… against the Abyss….?”
