Chapter 830 – 830. Darkness on the Frontier (2)
“Ugh, aaaaagh!”
It was a terrible scream.
However, the scream that came from his throat was very clear and refreshing, and filled the mountain.
Wooddeuk
Legs are trampled on miserably, bones are shattered, and limbs are bent backwards.
The desperate screams resonated not in one place, but in many places, tormenting the Heilang members with terrible pain.
“Confirm the incapacitation of the subjects. The time from start to suppression was reduced by 3 seconds.”
“…”
Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong, who had been watching from a distance as the Heilang members collapsed one by one and collapsed on the ground in the forest, were at a loss for words.
“Is it real…”
“It’s true.”
Cha Han-seong answered with a confused look at Ju-hong’s muttering.
It’s been two weeks since I managed the Heilang members whose flesh was torn and their bones were broken at this training ground.
By no means, it wasn’t a long time, but it was enough time for two men and women from the same district to build friendship through conversation.
The two of them were talking to each other and treating each other without hesitation.
It was because it was the first time for both Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong to have a commonality of being from the same district.
In the case of Cha Han-seong, they had the commonality of being from Earth, Eun-hyeon or Queen Yu-Ria, but the two were too high-ranking beings to treat them without hesitation and build friendship.
Even Eunhyeon’s case was even more so than Queen Yuria’s.
To think that she was in a position higher than hers, the queen of the kingdom of Pernias, was rude enough to draw out her sword, if anyone heard, calling it her insult and treason against her kingdom.
However, it is ironic that even Queen Yuria thinks of Eunhyeon that way.
To such Cha Han-seong, Ju-hong was a good friend whom he could treat comfortably without hesitation.
Even excluding the part of the opposite sex, male and female, Ju-hong, who has an easy-going and straightforward personality, is a good understanding of Cha Han-seong.
“… Let’s go.”
“Huh.”
At Cha Han-seong’s words, Ju-hong hardened his face and nodded his head.
The current role of Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong is to take care of the Heilang members who are almost half-dead.
The training of running away from Ash, Erin’s phantom beast, to survive and develop judgment has passed, and what awaits them is the next step.
It was to gain combat experience.
It is Emilia’s puppet unit that will engage them there.
“Big, black…”
“Save me, save me…”
“No more…”
Emilia was merciless in dealing with the Black Wand members.
There is only one restriction that Eunhyeon placed on her dolls, including her.
‘Don’t kill anyone.’ That’s all.
If so, it meant that she would not care what she did except not kill, Emilia recognized her order.
That’s why she doesn’t hesitate to drive the Heilang members.
In the first place, she had no hesitation about Emilia, who didn’t have emotions like humans.
If you break her limbs, blow them up, burn them, melt them down, cut them off, it’s fine as long as their lives are properly attached.
The large amount of potion provided by Eunhyeon was the best first-class medicine that could restore the damage at once no matter how fatally the Heilang members suffered.
I wanted to rest because of my injury, but I couldn’t.
Even the cowardly way out of death, even worse than that, was blocked as long as there was a potion made with divine power.
For Heilangdan, this training itself was hell.
“Kuh, uh… !”
It wasn’t that all of the Heilang members in training were desperate and begging to stop.
Many members, including Lana, desperately endured this hellish training to hone their skills and abilities.
It was as Eunhyun had expected.
There were people who gave up and had their hearts broken, and there were also people who ran desperately with poison in their eyes in order to survive.
Especially for such people, they were mentally strong enough to accept that even this hellish training was a tool to improve themselves.
Because they were holding on to the end and training.
“Comparative analysis with the 137th simulation. Confirmed that the power of #6, #8, and #11 improved slightly. Correct errors.”
Emilia also collected various battle data and further refined and diversified the combat system in her head.
Dolls are also growing like that, little by little.
‘Then slowly…’
It was when Cha Hanseong and Juhong were carrying the fallen Heilang members.
“You are suffering.”
“Oh, are you here?”
Cha Hanseong also turned his head at the familiar voice.
Currently, he has withdrawn from the front line, but he is still Runan who represents them as the leader of the Heilangdan.
Since the training of the members began, I often visited this mountain where training was being conducted to check on their condition.
At first, Nan Nan could not agree to this extreme and fearsome training, but now that he had lost real power with his retirement, he could not oppose Eun-hyeon’s plan.
Now, Runan was representing the Heilangdan, but the real power to command and roll them was passed on to Eunhyeon.
It was unavoidable.
“… Let’s talk for a while.”
“Is it a story? Hmm…”
Cha Hanseong glanced at the Heilang members who had collapsed on the floor as if fainting, then looked back at Runan.
Judging by the hardened expression on his face, it seemed that he was on some business.
The situation was a little strange, but now Cha Han-seong was in charge of managing the Heilang members at this training ground on behalf of Eun-hyeon and Erin.
“I will go to the barracks and listen.”
“I will.”
For some reason, Hanseong Cha headed to the barracks with Runan while forcibly erasing the bizarre thought that his position with Runan, the representative of Heilangdan, had been reversed.
The fallen Heilang members were scheduled to be returned to the tent by Juhong or Emilia, so they immediately started talking to Runan.
“Do you want coffee?”
“No. Just ask for water.”
“Yes.”
Cha Hanseong poured bottled water into a cup, placed it in front of Runan, and sat down on a chair at a simple table.
“So, what is the story?”
“… In fact, I would like to send a few members on an emergency mission.”
“Urgent mission… Are you?”
Runan began to explain in order to resolve the question of Hanseong Cha, who was tilting his head.
“A mission has come down from the duke’s family. I heard that a nerve-wracking incident occurred in a remote village outside the dukedom.”
“… So?”
“The message was that he wanted the Black Wolves to be sent to the outskirts to bring more detailed information.”
“… Okay.”
Cha Hanseong was deep in thought.
Right now, in the Duchy of Armitas, there were knights belonging to the Duke’s family who could help them, but since they were currently focusing most of their efforts on maintaining the city’s security, they had no time to pay attention to the situation outside the territory.
Eunhyeon was also raising Heilangdan as a professional intelligence organization that collected information from the outside to supplement this part, so it went without saying that Heilangdan was perfect for this mission.
“Then why are you asking me for permission?”
“… Because I no longer have real power.”
Runan laughed bitterly and mocked himself.
He was the leader of the Heilangdan, but now he was closer to the leader of the barge, who did not have the right to kill and kill the members.
Especially, even if he proceeded with such a tough training, he could not disobey Eun-hyeon, who executed it.
So he honestly confessed to Cha Han-seong, who was in charge of the manager’s role on behalf of him who was away.
“Hmm…”
After hearing the story from Runan, Cha Hanseong was troubled.
Can he decide on his own and send some of the Heilang members on an emergency mission?
The content of Eunhyeon’s request was to manage the Heilang members, but he did not have the authority to suspend their training at his own discretion.
“I will go!”
Suddenly, several Heilang members who responded in lively voices burst into the barracks and interrupted their conversation.
They were secretly eavesdropping on Cha Han-seong and Runan’s conversation outside the barracks.
“You guys…”
Runan was looking at the members with a puzzled look, but the Heilang members didn’t care.
“Me! Please take me on that urgent mission!”
“No. Captain! Please take me!”
“That’s me! I will volunteer.”
They weren’t the only ones running with their eyes wide open.
There was only a very deep longing in their bloodshot eyes.
‘I can’t stand it any longer!’
‘I want to leave this training ground.’
‘I think I’m really going crazy!’
‘Please save me! I’m the leader!’
Each one was looking at Runan with eyes filled with strong will.
They looked like they would sell their souls if only they could get out of this training ground, if only they could get away from the murder dolls who mercilessly tear and smash their bodies.
“You guys…”
Runan, who was well aware that he was being abused to that extent, directly confirmed how exhausted the members were.
If possible, he wanted to say that this training should be stopped right away, but since he acknowledged his past mistakes that almost caused great damage due to his helplessness and let go of real power, it was tantamount to an act of betrayal against Eun-hyeon.
“The mission. Do the Heilang members really have to do it?”
“Hmm?”
At Cha Han-seong’s question, Runan and all the members who broke into the barracks looked at him with firm expressions.
Someone made a face that made me want to, someone wanted to deny the possibility that popped into their head, and someone begged with their eyes to please not say more.
Cha Hanseong smiled bitterly and continued talking.
“That intelligence-gathering mission. Can I do it?”
At his spontaneously self-proclaimed remark, the Heilang members’ faces were stained with despair.
Still, only Cha Han-seong and Ju-hong were the only ones who treated and took care of the Heilang members who were desperate to win and escape from the clutches of the murder puppet called Emilia.
But to see him block the exit that might only exist once.
Isn’t there an enemy that Cha Han-seong, whom he thought of as a benefactor, meets on a single wooden bridge?
Cha Han-seong, who received resentful glances all over his body, smiled bitterly.
“Everyone, get some rest for the time being.”
“… Yes?”
What is this again?
The Heilang members had no choice but to react in bewilderment, as if asking what nonsense they were talking about.
“Actually, the training period has about two weeks left, but… Let’s just wrap it up this week.”
“Yes?”
“… What?”
The Heilang members did not properly understand what Cha Han-seong said.
Soon, one by one, I began to understand his words, and the expressions on their faces changed little by little to dubious expressions.
“It’s been hard, but it’s a mission again. Shouldn’t we get some rest now?”
As he shrugged his shoulders and once again confirmed that his words were not lies, the shoulders of the Heilang members shook slightly.
“I, really… ?”
“Is today really the end of training… ?”
“Yes. I will make a suggestion to Eunhyun at my discretion. So, everyone, take a break. Let’s take a break for two days, organize the barracks, and come back.”
“Ahhh…”
“My benefactor…”
Heilang members all knelt down and bowed to Hanseong Cha.
I couldn’t stand the sincerity and joy that emanated from the depths of my heart.
In fact, it was Cha Han-seong’s blatant lie, but it was real that he would finish the hellish training as of today.
Even if Cha Han-seong, who had no authority, gave Emilia an order, Emilia couldn’t have listened to the order.
If you think about it, it was a very obvious story, but the Heilang members were so happy that they didn’t even think about it.
The only thing that noticed was Runan.
Could there be anything more delicious and sweet than the carrots that were handed to her after weeks of mercilessly whipping her into a devastated situation?
All of them were properly arranged by Eunhyun.
“I will serve you as a benefactor for the rest of my life.”
“Please do whatever you ask of me in the future.”
“Oh, everyone… I am okay. Go ahead and rest.”
Cha Han-seong, who was not even a member of Heilang, was able to establish a position as strong as Runan, the leader, within Heilang.
