Evolution Theory of the Hunter - Chapter 135

Chapter 135

After Son Aram had said that she would quickly find out about the situation and disappeared, I looked at the market bulletin board .

There weren’t many but there were still guys that were uploading information in real time .

– Government Team 2 . Currently getting attack from all directions .

– How many?

– Don’t know . By the sound, it seems to be several thousand . Feels like I’m really going to die looking at the bullets raining down .

– Do you still have the mentality to write messages?

– I’m a crowd controller . I have nothing to do anyway after using my skill once . Someone help .

– Are you crazy . To tell us to go die there?

– It’s said that team 1 was ambushed as well but they ran away soon . That side should be the same .

– It’s not such a mood though .

– They’re saying that team 3 is also under attack . Fuck . Did they say that the Chungho Group numbered 3,000?

– I don’t know . It seems to be more .

Team 3 was a platoon formed of alternative service workers . With a number of 2,000 they had a pretty high average level but because they lacked experience it might be even more dangerous .

Either way, the situation was at the worst point right now .

The number of enemies attacking each team seemed to be about 2,000 to 3,000 .

Their number were double what we thought they were in the first place .

If the number that I chased away was added then it could be thought to be up to 7,000 maximum .

For now, team 1 that had to quickly go support will be in a difficult situation .

It was a situation where two place were under attack at the same time so they had to decide quickly whether they would support both or abandon one .

Park Chan-hyeong who was glancing at me from nearby slowly approached .

“Have you heard? The other teams are getting attacked…… . ”

“Ah . I’m looking at it right now . ”

“What do you think will happen?”

Why is this person asking this to me? Chan-hyeong opened his mouth with an awkward expression .

“Ah . There’s no big meaning to it . It’s just because I’m nervous . Thinking that we might get done in at this rate . ”

“It would be best to split the team into two and support both units . ”

“However, wouldn’t the number be too small then?”

“If we gave up one of them because of that it would be more dangerous . ”

The current total numbered about 5,000 . If it’s assumed that the Chungho Group has over 7,000 then the moment we give up one team the difference will be more than two times higher .

Of course the Chungho Group might have casualties as well but it couldn’t be helped that there would be a difference in damage between the ones that have been preparing versus those that are one sidedly getting beaten .

“What if one place was chosen?”

“Why are you asking such a thing?”

“I have a younger brother in team 2 . ”

“…… I see . However, it’s something that I can’t say at this point of time . ”

Did you think I would be able to say something . I left Chan-hyeong who had a nervous expression and waited for Son Aram .

A while later, Son Aram arrived while panting .

I could feel Park Chan-hyeong prick his ears .

“How did it go?”

“It’s been decided to go support team 3 . ”

“As expected…… . ”

It was something I expected .

“Did you know about it?”

“To some degree . ”

The best situation was supporting both sides and successfully defending both .

However, it was close to being a gamble and the chance of succeeding wasn’t that high . That meant that one side had to be selected and it was obvious that saving team 3 would be prioritized .

I mentioned it before but the alternative service team was mostly made up of children of wealthy families .

They were people that wouldn’t have been here normally in the first place . However, as they didn’t have anything to do after dungeons disappeared so it was something that happened as the public was saying many things about it .

From here, the truly powerful rich people had all gotten out . That’s why there were only 2,000 .

Even so, they were mostly those that had a sturdy backing .

From the perspective of the government, they had no choice but to take that into account and decide to protect them first and foremost .

“Will you not go together?”

“That’s a place that’s fine not to go to so…… . ”

Those guys had a lot of high level items and skills and numbers . It would be difficult for them to overcome the current attack but they wouldn’t lose that easily .

Compared to them, team 2 was not in a good situation .

To be honest, if one side had to supported it would be that side . However, the logic of the world didn’t go that way after all .

“Can you help by any chance?”

“How much could I possibly do on my own . ”

I shook my head . I didn’t really want to go there . I didn’t like seeing rich family children too .

“…… It seems like I’ve asked for something unreasonable . I’m sorry . I was desperate . ”

“I understand . It wouldn’t have been easy to decide to abandon team 2 after all . ”

“Then what is Sang-min planning on doing?”

“I should return to my party members for now . The Chungho Group is prowling around so I’m quite worried about them as well . ”

Son Aram nodded as if it was a shame .

I was rather worried about her safety as well . She will probably stay in the back lines but she would still be within the battle after all .

I was wondering if there was anything I could do for her and decided to have a Milworm secretly follow her .

It was a thing that moved around underground so there was no risk of it being discovered and it would be able to protect her if there was a dangerous situation .

There were quite a few numbers in the monster army so there shouldn’t be a problem even if one was gone .

“Then…… please take care of yourself . ”

“You too . I will only be able to get something good once you survive and get promoted . ”

“Pft . Help if you’re going to be like that . ”

“You have a lot of lingering attachments . I’m not a person that moves for free . You will have to prepare something big if you want to make use of me . ”

“I know . Because you’re a hunter . ”

I parted with Son Aram and got away from government team 1 . I slowly moved on the path that didn’t have any patrols .

I walked about 10 minutes like that when a rustling sound could be heard from the giant tree on the right .

As I was waiting to see who it was, a person fell from the tree .

“Arg…… . ”

It was Park Chan-hyeong .

“What are you doing here?”

“I, I came to ask for a favor . ”

He finally came back to his senses and spoke after shooting up .

If he had a favor to ask for it would be that I guess . He said he has a younger brother in team 2 after all .

“I know that this is a difficult, so a favor that makes no sense at all . But right now, I don’t have anyone to ask this of . So please…… . ”

I lightly sighed and took out two horses from the manual .

“Hah? Monster?”

He stepped back a few times after getting surprised by the two Agentaya Mongol Horses that appeared suddenly . However, as I got on the horse’s back he opened his mouth with a flustered expression .

“Is, is this a horse?”

“Can’t you tell by looking . ”

“It looks like a monster thought…… . ”

He slowly approached the horse .

“Ah . ”

He got surprised by the horse blowing from its mouth and retreated . It was understandable since the Agentaya Mongol Horse was 1 . 5 times bigger than normal horses .

On top of that, it had a horn like a unicorn and sharp teeth . It was fierce and had no fear .

If they fought properly then Park Chan-hyeong would win but he probably can’t help getting scared .

“Get on . ”

“Yes?”

“Didn’t you come here to ask me to save team 2?”

“Are you helping?”

Park Chan-hyeong rushed toward me as if picking a fight .

We struggled for a while thanks to him getting kicked by the horse hoof but well .

I wasn’t planning on abandoning team 2 in the first place .

The thought that Chungho Group had to disappear was a shared opinion between me and the government team .

If I was going to get rid of them anyway it was better to attack now . It hurts the most when hitting the back of the head after all .

Also, another thing, I was quite greedy for the items I could get from the Chungho Group .

The reason I refused Son Aram’s request was because I didn’t want to leave the impression that I listened to requests without payment .

Also, it was possible to get caught up in annoying things if I got connected to the government .

If they told me to cough up all the items dropped by the Chungho Group I was the only one losing .

It was more profitable to move on my own .

Two horses ran through the forest . Park Chan-hyeong wasn’t used to horses but he was holding out somehow . It was made possible by the physical abilities of a hunter that far exceeded that of a normla person’s .

“But, will it be fine with just us two?”

“Why did you request of me something that wouldn’t be fine?”

“Because I was desperate…… . ”

“It’s fine . ”

It seemed like Park Chan-hyeong wanted to say something more but maybe because it was difficult to talk while riding the horse, he didn’t ask anything more .

After riding for an hour or so I could start hearing the sound of gunfire . Seeing how they were still shooting, it seems the battle hasn’t started for real yet .

Guns were only used for preliminary advantage in a battle between hunters anyway . It was a lot harder than one would think to kill hunters wearing armor and in a formation .

However, after a momentary silent period a battle cry soon followed .

The battle cry that would be heard clearly even though there was still quite some distance left .

Park Chan-hyeong couldn’t endure and opened his mouth .

“How many do you think there are?”

“I’m not sure . If they gathered to battle team 2 of 1,500 people they will at least have more than that . ”

I was thinking there would be at least 2,000 and at most 3,000 .

If I was the one leading the Chungho Group, against the government team whose movement path was known I would surround them from far away and slowly enclose them .

I would make it so that not a single one of them could escape and ask them to surrender .

It was only possible to negotiate with the Korean government by having captives .

If they annihilated the government team here then the next one to appear might be Lee Hui-seung after all .

I had to go disturb the enemies before that could happen . If it’s after the battle ended then I wouldn’t be able to do anything .

“Hah!”

I lightly kicked the horse’s waist . The horse that understood the command started running faster .

Park Chan-hyeong clung to the Agentaya Mongol Horse that was running as fast as a car on a road while clenching his teeth .

“I see it over there!”

The forest suddenly became sparser and a open area appeared . The majority of the trees were already cut down and were forming a wooden fence while several thousand hunters were attacking it .

Defending using a wooden fence was a great idea in any case .

Since the government team had to move around all the time, since doing such a thing each time would eat up the hunters’ stamina it wouldn’t have been an easy decision to make .

However, they had been able to hold out until now thanks to that .

Masses of fire hit the wooden fences . The wooden scraps that turned into charcoal scattered everywhere .

Smoke and dust, and the Chungho Group marching forward through that gave off the feeling of watching a tense war from the Middle Ages .

It was difficult to tell which side had the advantage right now . However, it was a fact that there seemed to be more people on the Chungho Group’s side and it seemed certain that it wouldn’t be possible to block them using wooden fences .

“Hup . ”

Park Chan-hyeong took in a deep breath . It was due to being extremely nervous .

“What should we do now……?”

“You want to protect your younger brother right?”

“Yes . ”

“There is something that you have to do . ”

“Yes? What…… . ”

Chan-hyeong opened his mouth with a strange look on his face .

I summoned the monster army from the manual instead of replying .

I thought it would be a bit lacking with just 101 of them so I put in half of the items I had on me . I let loose 600 monster all at once .

Chan-hyeong’s face became pale white and then started becoming blue .
