“So, what brings you all of a sudden? ”

After moving away from the tent prepared for Kushan, Kim Yoohyun looked at the users who came to him and said, In fact, I wanted to get bit when I got a little tired, but the users in front of me were also northern clan roads. You don't have to blush for nothing as long as it's a working relationship.

Of course it was the same with the Northern Clan Lords.

“That's... ”

A man got a little lucky, and took a close look at Kim Yoo-hyun for a moment. Then he opened his mouth with a cautious attitude.

“Th…. It's time... I think it's time for you to tell me... ”

“Yes?”

“Oh, of course, I've heard many stories or instructions about Giants... It's, like... So... does that mean you want to know the purpose a little bit more clearly? Hahaha..."

“… Aha. ”

Kim Yoohyun smiled as if he knew what he was talking about. Then the man who took out the horse to see if there was something hot shook his head and hands in haste.

And I said, "Oh, I'm warning you, this is not a complaint. It doesn't mean I don't believe it. Just out of curiosity, or pure curiosity.... ”

The position of a general commander of an expedition is similar to that of a national representative. It is a place where everyone is encouraged and praised when they are good, but when they are not, it is also a place where they receive countless doubts and criticism. The fabulous Golden Lion was badly blamed for one failed expedition.

In that regard, Yoohyun Kim has done well. That's why these Clan Lords are being so careful. I mean, conditional trust? If the march had ever failed again, it would have been the opposite.

“Haha, I see. ”

“If you were upset.... ”

“No, but I was thinking we should have a full meeting now. ”

“Oh, really? ”

Is it because I heard a positive answer? The look on the man's face was clearly brightened. Yoohyun Kim nodded his head without clearing his smile.

“In a way, it may be a lot of demands, but you trusted me and you gave me full support. We really appreciate this. ”

“Oh, no. What are you saying...? We've taken it in the first place as a full transfer of power. Of course it is.”

“If you say so, I'd appreciate it. Anyway, the day of the battle is slowly approaching. Before that, I have a meeting to organize everything.... ”

“ ……. ”

As Yoohyun Kim blurred his words, the user's face began to feel tense. The day of the battle is coming. The meaning of this word was clear.

“Before that.”

Then.

“You guys. ”

Suddenly.

“Do you like plays, by any chance? ”

At the mouth of Yoohyun Kim, I had a smile that looked a little different from before.

“… Yes? ”

The users seemed puzzled because of the nonsense.

Yoohyun Kim opened his mouth.

“You all know I've been spending a lot of time with that giant. ”

“Yes, yes. Yes."

“By the way, I just heard a very interesting story. ”

“ ……? ”

Funny story? People who don't know the English language have looked at each other differently.

“So, before the meeting, I'd like to get your help one more time. ”

Kim Yoohyun suddenly put out his tongue and drooled on his dry mouth.

... I guess he has the same habit as his brother or brother.

Some time passed.

The sunset, where the afternoon was announced, also sets, and the dark earthly spiders settle on their behalf. Evening has come.

Tuck.

Suddenly, a raindrop fell from the sky. One drop after two drops of water gradually soaked the ground. It started to rain.

Huddle, huddle!

After a long time, the mountain range is filled with the sound of raindrops.

“ ……. ”

Kushan gazes slowly at the entrance of the tent.

The surroundings were quiet except for the sound of rain. The pool rises on the wet ground, and the air that gradually cools touches the flesh. As a matter of fact, it was cooler than it was cold for a Giant... Strangely, Kushan's heart is as lonely as an uplifting pool on the ground.

It wasn't sad. It's a different kind of emotion.

I mean, is it loneliness?

If it had been like before, Yoohyun Kim would have come in by now. I would have put down a barrel full of stew, smiling at it, "Isn't it great to hit a tent?" They would have sat across from each other and shared stories about the human world, stories about their father, etc.

However, even after dinner has come a long time ago, Kim Yoohyun doesn't seem to even bother to eat.

Although he has recently been in a relationship, Kim Yoohyun and Kushan have certainly been in a close relationship. It was possible because they were intelligent people and lived in society.

That is, as a human being, or as a giant. Kim Yoohyun treated the giant as an intelligent person, not just a monster.

'Humans...' '

Suddenly, I remembered what my father said in Kushan's head.

'Strong, very strong. Although it may seem like a mere thing to me as an individual, human strength is responsible for tremendous adaptation and endless evolution.'

'Humans are a people who are constantly pioneering the future, as opposed to being limited in the future in exchange for the war we've been in. Evolution is allowed.'

'I'm not denying the battle. But it's unconditionally wrong to reject the opponent, and unconditionally to think we're the best. If we keep going like this, we'll all end up waiting at the end of the road for destruction.'

'The glory of the past is but the past. If you do nothing, you will only be left behind. In order for us to survive, and furthermore, to regain our former glory, we must now change. That's why I have to leave.'

The position of the former Giant King.

I do not deny the battle, but I must stop the unconditional battle. In order to survive, we must not rest now, but must evolve. If we can't solve the problem on our own, we should get outside help. Just like the old witch did.

For this reason, the former Kushan Tor went out and was a young Kushan who grew up under such a father.

Since then, humans have entered the Steel Mountains on their own, although many years have passed since my father left.

Humans who had experienced Kushan were portrayed exactly as their father said. Although he was weak as an individual, he was clearly different from the Giant in his way of life. Since we first learned the concept of 'prisoners' from humans in the beginning, we can feel suffocated if we say two words.

So, I thought it was possible. Though the glory that my father ultimately targeted was the old glory, at least I thought the opportunity had come to change. I think so...

In one struggle, everything faded like a bubble. The human gaze that stared at Kushan after the duel was like a testimony that there was an insurmountable gap between the two species that was impossible to interact with.

Boom boom.

It was then.

(Hmm, is he here?)

Kushan suddenly walks into the tent around the time Shimrook bows his head. If I thought it might be Yoohyun Kim, Kushan felt a strange feeling in a man I had never seen before.

(It's rice. It rained suddenly, so the meal was a little late.)

The shrewd man drops the pot in front of Kushan and chants for a short time. A moment later, the rope tied to Kushan's arm loosens. But from Kushan's point of view, it wasn't Bob.

Can you talk to me?)

(Of course. I made this crystal ball.)

The guy tapped two crystal balls on his neck, so go ahead and eat.) and sat as far away from Kushan as possible. Like you're gonna be watching. Kushan stares at the pot for a moment, then turns his gaze to the man.

(I...)

(Yes?)

Kushan opens his mouth carefully as the man turns his gaze away.

Is he not coming today?)

(Him? Ah, the General is very busy.)

(General?)

(Just think of yourself as the tallest man here. And he's in a very important meeting right now. Right next to the tent.)

He pointed to the direction the man was facing.

Kushan opens his mouth again.

(That meeting... Will it take long?)

(I don't know. Maybe?)

(In that case, I'll wait until the end, just in case....)

(So persistent. Short or long, you want me to eat it? This is a meeting because of you...)

Kushan's request was annoying when the man frowned, slightly annoyed.

(User merit! I think you should come out for a moment!)

In those moments, you hear someone shouting loudly outside.

What's the rush?)

(Since it's a page, you should come quickly!)

(Damn it. Who else is calling?)

(Hurry...!)

Yang duck grumbles and rises to his feet, his voice constantly scratching.

(Hey, you. I'll be back soon, so eat well.)

Then he put the crystal ball around his neck on the ground and immediately left the tent.

Even though it took a little time, the stew of the pot didn't diminish at all by smoking hot steam. The torso restrains, but Kushan stares only outside the entrance as he did before, without moving his hands. The surrounding area is still calm, and you hear only the sound of rain hitting the ground.

Then one day.

Boom!

Is that what you think it is?)

Suddenly, the magical constellation rings at the same time as a loud bang. In Kushan's mind, surprised, what the man said before passes.

And he's in a very important meeting right now. Right next to the tent. '

'This meeting is because of you...'

Kushan's eyes immediately turn to the side of the tent and fall into the glowing crystal shaft that the man left behind. I leaned my head to the side as far as I could.

(I can't believe you came all the way back here! What nonsense are you talking!)

(The attack is almost upon us. Are you out of your mind, Commander?)

Several voices are heard, but I haven't heard Yoohyun Kim's voice yet.

(That's... As you've all seen today....)

However, unfortunately, I heard Yoohyun Kim's voice.

(Sorry, the Giant's power exceeded my expectations. I didn't think it would be this strong.)

(That's what I'm talking about...! No. Not long ago, you said you wanted to talk to the giant. I thought you said we could attack without fighting.)

(Yes, I did. But as we've all seen today, our greatest warrior was defeated by a giant. But the Giant said there are 800 Giants stronger than him... It's perfect for me.)

(How frustrating. Then you should have told me! What have you been doing with him all this time? Did you have a secret lover?)

'What I said... Are you telling me everything?'

Of course, it was Kushan who expected a little, but felt the betrayal of his words. But I can't help it. Humans are currently attacking these mountains.

(Come on, let's all calm down. What should we do now if we're angry?)

(That's right. It's not just Commander General we should blame. We didn't expect a giant to be this strong.)

This time, unlike before, voices were heard advocating for Yoohyun Kim.

(We've already wasted too much time. Instead of wasting more time being angry at each other here, I think it's time to stop making decisions.)

(So, are you saying we should abandon our attack here?)

(I can't help it. Because life is more important than attack. For starters, retreating is probably the right decision.)

(Don't let the others down too much. Some say retreat is tactical, right? We didn't fail, we just needed time to reorganize.)

Tactical retreat? Repair? '

What's that supposed to mean? Kushan instinctively listens, focusing on his hearing.

(He is absolutely right. Of course, I admit that giants are strong. But that's only 800, isn't it? In numbers, we are never outnumbered.)

(Not in the best position. What are the human advantages? Now, there's only 5,000 of us, but we can go back and regroup and try again. In fact, I'm telling you, if you put a little bit of effort into this, you can collect 50,000, maybe 100,000 or more lightly, right?)

(More than 100,000, I'm sure. Not only that.It's already cleared the way, so it should be easy to come back, and you can make other magic or tools to deal with Giants.)

(That's right. So if we step back now, a few months later, we will definitely win…. Oh, no. I'm sorry... Oh, I can definitely destroy Giants. Hmm.)

Kung, Kushan's heart sank.

At first, I was just eavesdropping because I was curious, but then I heard some strange stories coming and going.

Despite everything else, Kushan, who had always lived in a few hundred units, could not fathom the number of 100,000. The Kushan can't be confident if only 10 people win lightly, but if only 100 people, or hundreds, run at the same time. Even with magic and tools, we can never assume that what we say is wrong.

Uh, what do we do? '

(Oh, and I'll take the giant with me. It seems that you are interested in Humans. Let's take them gently and torture them, dissect them, or get more information about how to deal with Giants.)

(Two words: nagging. Of course, the General will take over this role, right?)

At that moment, Kushan felt breathless as he continued to hear the sound of words. Because now I think I know who that giant they're talking about.

And after a while.

(I….)

Kushan grips his teeth without even knowing it.

(Phew….)

The sound of a voice that was heard after a short while fades into the sigh that I had heard before, without finishing immediately.

Kushan swallows his saliva and focuses his entire nerve on his hearing. Even if I don't want to, I keep thinking about the days I spent with Yoohyun Kim. What would Yoohyun Kim say?

'I will...' Will you...? '

After a short pause.

(Personally…. I want you to let that Giant go...)

What, what?)

Kim Yoohyun's voice, which I barely heard, was buried in a voice that was greatly surprised.

But at least Kushan could hear it clearly. The only thing that prevented my eyes from turning into a flashlight.

(Even though I'm a Giant.... Kushan...)

And that was the moment.

Bang!

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came into Kushan's ears.

Night Of Battle.

Start the part of the fight night. There are four planned in total, and the next part of this part is the closing part of the Third Territory, compared to the Second Territory, which is a lot smaller, right?:)

And Kim Soo-hyun will appear next time, but it is not a significant appearance. The emergence you want is scheduled for the fourth time, the last time in this part.

So all readers have a good night._(__)_
