M E M O R I Z E

A dark, dark steel mountain range. In the dark forest that blocks even the moonlight, I bend one knee and sweep the ground slowly.

'That's weird.'

You can tell by the traces. The area we are camping in now is where the northern expedition camped yesterday. Literally where we'd camp out here and leave in the morning. There are no other special markings.

But it's strange. There's nothing really strange about the trail. It's only natural to leave camp.

I don't think it's a problem that there aren't too many special traces.

'It's not just here.'

I had followed the path of the northern expedition. What is the third region of the Steel Mountains? It was a place called Monster's Paradise.

If you can't, you'll have to find at least one sign of a monster collision, but so far, no blood has been found. Moreover, after entering Giant territory, we only checked for signs of advancement.

'So are we.'

Not just me, but the clan members were feeling a little strange. Because we've never come across a monster before, either. A clan member told me that the Steel Mountains had suddenly calmed down.

The other clans agreed and laughed, but they never accepted it from the standpoint of going through a car.

I got up on the road and slowly looked around. All I can see is darkness and dense forests. And silence.

But something is different. The more I look around, the weirder I feel.

No, should I be sure? The Steel Mountains have never calmed down. They're killing their breath. It feels like every living thing that I see is curled up and shaking.

Yeah. I feel like...

'Battleship.'

Fluffy!

At that moment, you hear a dry leaf treading from behind, recalling the aura you felt just before the war with the Alliance forces. You turn the magic detection on reflectively, and at least you can see that it's not a monster.

“Woof…. ”

The Black Ingot approaching from the camp was like an anvil. I think I woke up from a sleepy face with one eye shrugged.

“Ansol?”

“ ……? ”

When I calmly called her name, the question mark flashed on Ansol's head.... Oh, that's amazing.

“Brother...? ”

Ansol, who was walking in the mirror, noticed me and made a strange face. Then he slowly opened his arms to run back. Of course, it is not necessary to say that the question mark has been changed to an exclamation mark.

“No. ”

Speaking in a loud voice, Ansol stops. And spit it out. I think it's a little scary to see them even though they still look dazed.

'Now, if you only look at me, it will be reflected on you...' '

“What are you doing here all of a sudden? ”

“Shhh... ”

“Shhh?”

“The sole... I need to rest..."

The faint anvil sits flat on the ground, and his head falls down.

"What is it? Are you trying to fight me like that? '

I have to go and take off my hand pants, but I have to worry.

“… but are you still going to watch…? ”

Suddenly, a lowered voice flowed into my ears. Ansol is still bowing.

“Huh? But your pants... ”

“Go quickly. ”

“ ……. ”

“Come on, come on. ”

'Oh, my God. The guy who said he couldn't pee alone during the rite of passage, so he wanted to hold hands with me.'

No, is this normal?

“Okay, okay. ”

I shrugged my shoulders and walked towards the camp.

It was a moment to get past Ansol.

“If it's later…. ”

Suddenly, I hear Ansol's voice again.

“It might be meaningless.... ”

And the moment I heard the next word, I stopped reflexively.

For a very short period of time, the flashing lights of the campfire that you see in front of you were dull. Suddenly, my whole body feels like a strange and delicate energy.

“Ansol...? ”

I slowly, very slowly looked back at Ansol.

And then, I could see.

Like me, the anvil rises at a very slow speed.

"If it's later, it's meaningless? '

Afterwards, Ansol turned around and looked at me completely. The moment I laid eyes on each other, I was instinctively able to feel it.

'You're on.'

I've seen you anxious a few times, but it's been a long time since I've seen you so sure. In fact, I was feeling something was a little strange, but as Ansol said like that, I'm 100% sure. Ansol's abilities have never been overlooked.

I opened my mouth without hesitation.

“Wake the clan members. Right now.”

“You'd better. ”

Ansol also immediately replied and ran past me toward the camp. As I heard the footsteps slowly drifting away, I bent my head and looked up at the night sky.

Silent static.

'… brother.'

Suddenly, I feel an uneasy energy rising from the Smurf.

'Now…. What the hell are you doing...?'

*

The sky was a clear, quiet morning without clouds. Silence flows through the camp. Users wander around and see snacks, but no cluttered energy.

In the southern outskirts of such camps were Kushan and Kim Yoohyun.

(I'll be going then.)

(… Yes.)

In contrast to what Kushan said in a bright voice, Yoohyun Kim's voice was very dark. He smiles forcefully on the outside, but he can't hide the anxious shadows all over his face. … No, should I say I didn't hide it?

However, Kushan, who was staring at Yoohyun Kim, felt a little confused. It's because I thought about it from the point of view of humans, or weaknesses, and I understood why Yoohyun Kim had such a reaction.

(Are you still very nervous?)

(Ha, ha. Did you get caught?)

(… don't worry too much. Just do as I say.... Brothers certainly can't treat Humans lightly. Maybe he'll come right back. They value their religion.)

(Do you really think so?)

Kim Yoohyun still trembled.

You don't trust me? You said you were friends.)

Kushan shudders, tapping his shoulder. Yoohyun Kim's collar moved small.

(Oh, no. I believe you. I believe you.)

(Yes, I believe you.)

(Yes. But...)

(Oh really, don't worry too much. If anything happens, I'll be right there. So this too...)

The blurred Kushan glances at his shadow. Then Kim Yoohyun nodded his head loudly.

(Yes. Then…. Please.)

(Leave it to me.You didn't forget your promise, did you?))

(Of course. I will try my best to move Kushan Thor's mind.))

(Hehe.)

Since then, Yoohyun Kim (I don't want to die....), but Kushan laughs like a fool.

(Well, now I really have to go. because I have to move fast to be on time.)

(Yes. I'm sorry I caught you.)

(It's okay, by the way. Tomorrow afternoon....)

(Yes, yes. It was a vast meadow half a day away.)

In the end, Kushan turned away after being confirmed to go twice or three times. Humans and Giants have finally said goodbye to each other. with a kind of purpose.

And after a while, the moment I saw Kushan slowly disappear into the forest, Yoohyun Kim's face changed. If it had been like a warm spring breeze just now, it would be as cold as the cold northern snow.

Yoohyun Kim, who had been staring at Kushan's disappearance while shining cold eyes for a while, immediately turned around and started walking toward the camp. It was in the direction of its tent.

Several users sat on the table in the tent. It was not just those users, but the clan lord of each clan, commander-level users.

“Kushan and them just left. ”

When Yoohyun Kim sat down and took it out, the silent users looked at each other differently. I didn't say much, but it's starting now. 'There was a lot of color.

“Then…. ”

“Yes, it's a start. The rendezvous point is a meadow half a day away, and the time is at sunset. Maybe we can just start on time after breakfast. We need to be ready until then. ”

Speechless.

Then there was a cluttered commotion among the users. However, Yoohyun Kim who silenced the commotion by tapping the table lightly was Najik.

“What about power analysis and organization, by the way? Any statistics at all? ”

A man sitting on the right side of Yoohyun Kim's question opened his mouth, raising his glasses.

“The power analysis is already complete, and the organization is also primary. ”

“Tell me.”

“50 per Giant should be enough time to deal with them. ”

“Fifty? That's too many. ”

Soon, Yoohyun Kim thought for a moment and opened his mouth.

“No matter how much I think about it, 50 people are too many. We don't have a lot of time. We may need to regroup in case the Giant's power weakens. ”

“Hmm. The power of the Giants in the beginning is speculative, and even if it is weakened, I can't guess that much..." ”

“Reduce this to 25 per person. ”

“Two, 25 people? That's too...! ”

The man said it was impossible, but Kim Yoohyun calmly shook his head.

“No, why don't you just leave the first group alone and divide it in half whenever you need to? ”

“Ah, ah.... That's how you did it, right? Yes, I think that's possible. ”

The man expressing the color immediately changed his face and nodded his head to understand.

Kim Yoohyun turned his eyes to the left this time.

“Now that you've assembled, how about setting a trap? ”

“We're bringing together archers and assassins. But I have something else to tell you. ”

Then the woman sitting to the left immediately replied.

“Like what?"

“About the traps. Most things are less powerful to create a portable trap. So I'd like to set some more traps. ”

“A trap?”

“Yes. As long as the rendezvous point is set, we arrive early and set a trap. More powerful traps than traps. Maybe we can even aim for death. ”

I'm sure it makes sense, but Kim Yoo-hyun was once again deep in thought.

But when I thought about it, Yoohyun Kim shook his head again.

“This is going to be difficult. It's called the Giant's front yard. If you get caught in Giants' eyes while setting traps for no reason, you can only live with suspicion. At worst, the plan can go back to bubbles. ”

“Hmph.”

“I told you before, we only get one shot at this. Before I signal, we need to make sure the giants are as alert as possible. ”

“I know. I can't help it. ”

The woman shrugs once and squeezes her head as if she knew.

Since then, Kim Yoo-hyun asked and confirmed one by one.

After two hours, the meeting was slowly coming to an end.

“… Got it. First of all, I think we should call it a day. ”

Kim Yoohyun took a short breath and twisted his body slightly. The dusk, the tiny sound of bones, echoes the silent tent.

Soon after, Yoohyun Kim stepped up once and opened his mouth to the users who organized Juju Island records.

“Thank you, everyone. ”

“ ……? ”

In a sudden thank you, the users stop organizing records and stare at Yoohyun Kim.

Kim Yoo-hyun continued.

“I created the plan, but you guys prepared everything else. I don't know how you got here. ”

“Hahaha, no. In fact, I was a little curious at first.... I couldn't help but be amazed at the plan of the brain system. If I was just looking at monsters, I never would have thought of them. ”

“You're putting gold on my face. I was just lucky. ”

“Luck is good. So don't take it out. If the plan is right, the brains are the key to the success of the target. ”

Kim Yoohyun humbled as if not to do it, but the woman on the left made it even stronger.

Of course, someone will think like this in the meantime. Are you sure this is going to work? '.

But no one speaks up about it. The plan has begun to execute, starting with the Kushan's departure. The outcome of this plan will be lost by tomorrow night at the latest.

For the risky users, it was time to think about success, or how to succeed, rather than failing the plan.

The dice have already been thrown.

After a while, someone claps their palms and shouts among the nodding users. Starting with that, users began to applaud the brains.

Peek-a-boo...

In the pouring applause, Kim Yoohyun slowly got up and lightly bowed his head in return. Within moments, the applause was slightly frequent, and the mouth of the brain was opened.

“Then I hereby pronounce you operational and concurrent, the Trojan Horse. ”

Testimonial.

Trojan Horse.

The final announcement of the end of the meeting was to officially announce the implementation of the operation.

And the next day.

The northern expedition was able to arrive at the promised place at sunset.

Today I was able to update it faster than I thought.:)

I love the vibe of comments these days. In the past, I (…….), and I'm really happy that you've all been talking about your work lately.: D

All readers have a pleasant evening.
