It wasn’t until after boarding a ship with an American flag on it that Marcus collapsed onto the deck.
Harry, who had come up after him, quickly supported him by the arm.
“Are you okay?”
“No, I am terribly tired. The fighting was also dog-like.”
“ah… It was.”
Harry, who was about to ask if there were any injuries, quickly agreed.
It was because he felt very tired.
It wasn’t because I couldn’t sleep until dawn after I penetrated in the middle of the night.
It was enough to get a little less sleep.
One of the most common drills in the military was to reduce or limit sleep, so there was nothing difficult.
The important thing was somewhere else.
Battle of the Tarill Islands.
Above all, the risk from the trap and the exit process were the problem.
It wasn’t just a physical threat.
stress.
It was different from what office workers go through.
It was a huge psychological pressure that pushed soldiers into Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, aka PTSD, which stemmed from the fear of being in danger of dying.
It wouldn’t be strange if someone collapsed from hyperventilation or went into convulsions right away.
The environment that was considered safe has become a danger zone, and it is impossible to determine where the enemy is, and there is no way to attack because the enemy is too far away.
I couldn’t help but be shaken mentally.
Even if I tried to pretend it wasn’t, all kinds of thoughts and emotions that came rushing in kept turning my insides.
That was what befell Marcus and Harry, as well as everyone else on the scene.
Before long, Marcus’s mouth opened again.
“you… Are you still young? Doesn’t it look sturdy?”
he asked, looking at Harry.
Compared to the veteran Marcus, he lacked much age and experience, and there was a lot of potential for damage.
Just looking at the situation, the danger of annihilation was right in front of us, and it was so dangerous that if we took one more step, our bodies would be torn to shreds.
Just imagining it gave me goosebumps.
If it hadn’t been for the odds, it probably would have been.
It was very natural.
Because I crawled into a trap that could fool a military satellite.
Dying was the natural order of things.
Anyone present at the scene could not think of anything else.
Until Kang Tae fired the first shot.
As he looked at them with tired, concerned eyes, Harry gave a brief reply.
“I am fine. Even during vacation, I spent time with my seniors… I thought you would do something.”
“Even before Lee fired the first shot?”
Marcus asked curiously, and Harry nodded immediately.
“Yes, of course.”
“oh… How great is your faith? It’s almost like faith.”
Marcus was amazed.
Although he knew and believed in Kang-tae, he did not expect it to be to this extent.
Killing an enemy at twice the effective range with a semi-automatic sniper rifle, the MK.
It took about 10 seconds to kill the three snipers.
The mercenaries who handled the mortar also shot and killed 6 people for about 15 seconds.
Even at sea it was more than that.
‘Killed an enemy at 2.4 miles (about 3.8 km)… … .’
Marcus’ head shook his head at Jose’s chatter.
It was because I still couldn’t believe it.
I’m not going to lie, but I haven’t seen it yet, so it wasn’t easy to imagine.
It might have been on land, but it was on the sea.
While thinking about it, Harry spoke slowly as if recalling a memory.
“I was enthusiastic from the beginning, but my faith grew stronger as we were together during the vacation. To be honest, I would believe it even if the sunbae bent the bullet trajectory like the movie Wanted.”
“… … .”
Marcus’ tired eyes narrowed, and wrinkles formed at the corners of his eyes.
And as the nasolabial folds were drawn thickly, the mouth opened.
“Are you really crazy?”
“I heard that even when I was in school.”
“… I thought Lee was joking when he said he was crazy, but it turned out to be true. our team… No, how did you get into the CIA? Did you pass the psychiatric evaluation?”
“As far as I know, it was created to avoid selecting normal people… The deputy team leader is also from Delta, so don’t you know him well?”
“… … .”
Marcus couldn’t answer.
I couldn’t imagine bullets bending and flying away, but it was true that normal people were rare in special forces.
Even if it was normal, it would eventually become abnormal.
This too was unavoidable.
It was because it was not an easy task to take a person’s life no matter how much it was an enemy, no matter how guilty it was to kill.
As he closed his mouth, Harry’s mouth opened.
“By the way, there is just one thing that takes me.”
“you?”
The moment he looked at it as if asking for something, Harry replied, wiping his wet dirt and leaves from his face.
“It is very unfortunate that I am of no help to you. It was more powerless than doing nothing against mortars. So, to be as helpful as possible, I visit right away on vacation and try my best, but I can’t do anything on site… There is also a great sense of disparity.”
“Hey, crazy Night Stalker.”
Marcus called Harry right away, and spoke slowly.
“When you have such fanatical beliefs, why do you create an absurd sense of self-doubt?”
“Isn’t the deputy team leader well aware of the hard work of the seniors? however… … .”
“know. so?”
Marcus continued as if something was wrong.
“We just do our best in each other’s place, that’s all. Whether it helps Lee or not… … .”
The moment Marcus had just finished speaking.
“Oh, Marcus? Why are you giving a speech? Even sitting on the deck. Won’t you go into the cabin?”
Jose appeared.
With a smile on his face, as if he had already heard it all, he raised his voice to Harry before he knew it.
“Looking back, it seems that they are doing counseling on Lee’s concerns… Am I right?”
“Ah, yes.”
“And Marcus’ advice wouldn’t have listened to you either, did you? What would a guy who usually doesn’t talk well say… is not it?”
“that… … .”
When Harry hesitated, Jose waved his hand knowingly.
“I will tell you. As a senior who has been with Lee before you, and as a colleague who witnessed Lee’s legendary marine sniping today.”
As José said it forcefully, Marcus looked at him with a reflexive frown.
What the hell are you trying to say?
Jose smiled and patted Harry on the shoulder.
“If Lee is so great that you can’t even keep up with your toes and think you can’t even help… live thinking like that Of course I’ll try that hard. Because your name is from the Night Stalker, isn’t it?”
“of course. Even during vacation, I trained with the same routine as my seniors.”
“Wow, great. yes, do it that way Then the f*cking worries won’t go away, but anyway, won’t it be better than now? It might be helpful for Lee as much as grime on his nails.”
At that, Harry shook his head.
In conclusion, it sounds the same as Marcus, but it was because it touched me differently from Marcus, who denied his worries.
Suddenly Harry’s eyes lit up.

Like you never stayed up all night, never fell into a trap, never fought.
“thank you. It’s an added reason to be with you on your next vacation as well.”
“… Um, he’s crazy too.”
Jose answered, and Harry asked as he got up from Marcus.
“Where is your senior? I want to go and talk.”
“Ah, you’re going to be stitching up your face right now. I was worried that it would leave scars on my handsome face, but uhm… Come to think of it, you and Rina are both crazy, so they’ll be good friends.”
“thank you! Let’s go!”
Harry responded briskly, and after watching José run away, he looked at Marcus and asked.
“Did the engagement on the island end easily?”
“no… A few mortars fell. It’s a shame because the distance was wrong, otherwise I would have been in surgery right now.”
“But why is he like that? I’m full of energy… … . Is it because you were young?”
“You must have been similar when you were younger.”
“I? oh well, that could be He was also very sociable.”
“… madman.”
“hehehe, do you know that you who dare to sit on the deck in the rain are also suitable for being crazy? Get up, go in and rest. Did you get hit in the leg by any chance?”
“I don’t know, but I want to retire.”
“Stop talking crazy and just wake up. What is retirement? What about me when you retire? I might be bored and retire.”
José did so, supporting Marcus, and after a few more small words, went into the cabin of the ship.
It’s a while to go into the rather cramped and low interior made of iron and change clothes.
After completing simple first aid, all the team members began to gather.
Even Kang-tae, who had gauze attached after being stitched.
“Even after writing a new legend, a protagonist who is worried about scars has appeared.”
Jose said with a smile. Kangtae, who entered, muttered as if sighing.
“How long have you lived with this face… Ha, I didn’t even try to use it properly… … .”
“’How much’? Aren’t you 30 now?”
“Yes, I am 30 years old… … . Oh, chief? So what? A few bullets landed on the Chinese freighter, didn’t it make a lot of noise?”
He looked at Jake as if he remembered Kang-tae, who had been responding helplessly.
I was in a hurry, so I tried to shoot it, because there was a high possibility that the cargo ship was shot as much as I shot a 50-caliber bullet.
At this, Jake, who was in the process of disassembling and servicing the gun, shook his head.
“I haven’t heard from you yet, but you don’t have to worry about it. Command takes special care of you.”
“Oh yeah? oh, i’m glad I was wondering what to do… … .”
“Are you going to transfer to the Ministry of Defense?”
“Am I? why?”
“Now I’ll treat you like that. Even the CIA will bring infinity cards instead of business cards.”
While the eyes of all the team members were focused on those words, Kang-tae shook his head.
“I’m not going.”
Jose immediately responded to the answer without even thinking about it.
“You’re not saying we are, are you? If you want it, even if it’s not the Pentagon, the CIA or whatever will do more. Would it be possible to transfer all of our affiliations?”
“I could go later, but I have work to do now.”
“Operations? It’s over… Oh, that Italian terrorist?”
“Yes, but there will be more later.”
When Kang-tae responded to Jose’s words, Harry, who was watching, responded quickly.
“Then, the ones behind it must be Giandro Basikanal’s associates, his superiors, or the background.”
“Yes, from behind.”
Kang Tae’s eyes widened as he answered.
It was also thanks to the delay in nuclear development and a further step toward that goal.
The process was messy, but it turned out well in the end.
Of course, I haven’t heard anything about it yet, but I’ll know sooner or later.
It wasn’t because he captured the hostages alive.
It was because the scale was getting bigger and bigger, and it was clear that the US would move in earnest as it grew.
Of course, Giandro or Pikal, who planted spies or snitches, could also learn something, but this had to be taken into account.
If it flows quietly like a game, you will face a nuclear war like an ending.
Kang-tae muttered as he touched the gauze on his cheek.
“I have to live my life properly with this face, I’m going to f*ck you… … .”
