Chapter 166 – Staggered Operation

“What on earth were you thinking doing that?!”
“Aw, noisy. Your voice is very loud.”
“Hey! Mr. Kang Ha-jin!!”

Right now, thoughts about Tsukahara Tanjiro are complicated in my head.
Because the look in his eyes that glared at me at the end was so intense that he couldn’t leave his mind.
Well, the reason his eyes pierced my brain was not because of the intensity, but because of the power of the knife he threw.
A short dagger cut my cheek in the moment of flash.
A distance of over 20 meters, a gust of wind from a helicopter, a moving target, plus my reaction speed.
Through all the bad conditions, I got a scar on my cheek.
That means he’s a thrower, has throwing-related attributes, or has insanely good physical abilities.
It’s probably not the first and second, so the stats and attributes that increase stats must be incredibly good.

“Majesty-!! Please save the boy!!”
“Shut up and dodge well.”
“Lee..!! Then please release this… “

TOO!!!!!!

“… You crazy highness!!! You almost died!!!”

Tied to a tree, Number 4 is now spouting dirty words.
The reason he’s doing that over there is because he said mean things to me, but he’s saying mean things again.

Jerk-jerk-jerk-

“Okay, I was wrong!! I really committed a sin to death!! Please save me, Your Highness!! Oh, no!! Do not come!!!”

Swoop-
Snap! Suwook-

Number 4, who turned her head and closed her eyes tightly in my raised hand, and I pulled out the dagger embedded deep in the tree right next to Number 4’s face, and struck me on the head with the back of a knife.

“How is it?”
“… I was wrong… Please save me, Your Highness… Black… Whoa… “
“That’s not how it feels.”
“Yes..?”
“Did you get stuck in a tree the moment you flashed?”
“… “
“Are you not answering? Can you do it one more time?”
“Oh no! It flashed and got stuck in a tree!”
“Did you see it fly? Didn’t you see?”
“I didn’t see it! If I had seen it, I would have avoided it!”
“Good.”

Unlike Tanjiro, it’s about 5 meters away, and it’s a target that doesn’t move and doesn’t have gusts from helicopters, so it’s a bit difficult to compare, but I reacted to the dagger thrown by him, so if No. 4 couldn’t see the knife or react, that’s it. It doesn’t seem like he’s going after him.

“I, Your Highness…! Then I…!”
“No. 1, release him and go feed him.”
“Yes, chief.”
“Thank you! Seong-eun is really embarrassed, Your Highness!!”
“OK. Watch your snout next time.”
“Is it possible! Careful! I will be careful again!”

As soon as No. 1 loosens the rope, No. 4 runs away without looking back, and No. 1 follows No. 4 to the Namsan Tower, giggling as if it is fun.
And Jin In-soo, who was absent-minded for a while, came to the side again and made a loud noise.
Ah, this bastard is almost at the level of Kim Hyun-jun.

“Your actions could endanger the President and the hostages! Do you know?!”
“Then let the jerks find this place to guarantee their safety? Are the lives of the people here not even lives?”
“That..! Through other means… “
“How? If there is, tell me where you are.”
“… “

Jin In-soo keeps his mouth shut.
There is no other way.
If they hadn’t turned their eyes to the south as they flew to Gwacheon in a helicopter, this place would probably have become a battlefield by now.
And I must be fighting a life-and-death fight with a guy named Tanjiro.
Of course, it’s a fight that will have to be fought someday, but fighting him right now is a burden for me as well.
7 samurai… No, as I eliminate the guys who have now been reduced to 5 warriors one by one, not only I but others have to become stronger.
Well, it seems that Kim Hyeon-jun is now at the point where he can face the 5 samurai or the nabal.

“Are you all right?”
“Are you worried about me?”
“No, my concern. If you gossip, the burden on me increases.”
“Don’t worry. Thanks to Dasol’s hard work, we all recovered.”
“Ugh… “

As she smiles at Dasol, who is asleep with a jjujuba in her mouth, Minjung Yeo approaches her with a face full of displeasure and nags at her.
No, why are the humans here so nagging?

“You and the captain, why do you buy ice cream whenever you see Dasol?! I had diarrhea last night too!”
“You like it.”
“You buy everything you like?! You have to think of your body too!”
“You can treat yourself, so what are you worried about? And let me do what I want to do You don’t know when things will turn out, but you don’t have to live with enduring what you want to do. Focus on the present rather than the future.”
“… This fight… Is it difficult..?”
“Well.”

I honestly don’t know what will happen either.
Will we drive out the idiots and restore peace to this land, or will they fall to hell?
One thing is certain, however, that this fight will not last long.
Within a week at the most, one of us or the other side will become a piece of meat and be eaten by zombies.

“… Is a week a bit long?”

***

After losing Aida Shibaru and Akira Kenjo, Tanjiro was strangely calm.
No, she sneered at herself with her boiling anger, and hacked Ha-jin’s face, which had disappeared, into her head again and again.
Of course, it wasn’t a mockery, but it was something I liked because I got a useful weapon for free.
Anyway, Tanjiro, who calmly rode his bicycle into his stronghold, slaughtered numerous subordinates, and waited for a reunion with his anger at Ha-jin, who slowly disappeared, and a Korean who did everything he could to prevent unnecessary sparks from appearing with Ha-jin, a Korean who disappeared. Japanese people looking for them.
And, as if Hajin’s strategy was right, all the Japanese were conducting search operations by spreading a search net to the south of the Han River, and not even a shadow of the Japanese was visible to the north of the Han River.

“Then I’ll be back before dinner.”
“Can’t we go together too..?”
“No, it’s dangerous. Watch people hunting here. Ah! And there are monsters that look stupid like golems? When it comes out, just run away. If you attack, your weapon will only break.”
“Yes… Take care, brother…”
“Bye…”

This time, rather than averting her gaze, her Min-seo and Ju-ha put on a worried expression as they saw off Ha-jin, who was on an operation to gnaw the maximum strength of the Japanese, called the five samurai.
Of course, they know that it wouldn’t be very helpful if they followed them, but then they shouldn’t have taken Kwon Joo-hyeok with them either.

“Now you acknowledge me too! Haha~”
“Shut up. I was brought here to throw it in case something dangerous happened. That’s exactly what I expect from you.”
“… Ah! Suddenly hungry..!”

Kwon Joo-hyeok, who grabbed hold of the boat at the moment, turned to the Namsan Tower, where he had come down, and tried to return, but Kim Ji-hoon’s hand grabbed the hem of his clothes before that.

“Uh-huh, where are you going?”
“Leave this! Didn’t you hear what that bastard said?!”
“You know I do that every time.”
“You don’t know, but that’s not a joke! It’s because you didn’t see how bad he was before he came to the shelter!”
“You were sore after coming to the shelter? I don’t know how bad it was before… Anyway, if Ha Jin-hyung uses him as bait, I’ll save him, so don’t worry and follow me.”
“Who is this bastard who came from being beaten without even being able to take care of himself?!”
“That..! If my brother had fought with that bastard, he wouldn’t have come back!”
“That’s why a weakling like me just goes back! Go by yourself!!”
“You are a coward. And noisy Follow me quietly.”
“… The context doesn’t match at all!!”

Kwon Joo-hyeok, who stubbornly refused to follow, had to be dragged by Jackson, who was dragging him by the arm as he passed by. So Ha-jin, Kim Hyun-joon, Kim Ji-hoon, Jackson, and Kwon Ju-hyuk rode the helicopter driven by Woo Jin-hwan, who moved together, and carried out the operation again. To the south of the Han River.
And a woman who appears on the road sign below, from which the hotel from which the helicopter took off is clearly visible.
Her true identity is Hikari Kirishima.
One of the 7 samurai who found the shelter where people left by a hair’s breadth.
When she discovered Hajin’s group on the move, she secretly followed them.
Ha-jin, Kim Hyeon-joon, and Kim Ji-hoon, who usually have excellent senses, do it so secretly that they don’t even notice.
It was possible because of her characteristics.

『Stealth (A) – completely assimilate with the surroundings and hide. When attacking, stealth is canceled and speed +40%』

The increasing rate of increase can be seen as a B-class characteristic, but it is completely assimilated with the surroundings, not only hiding the appearance, but also completely hiding the smell or presence.
Perfect stealth so that no one will notice, unless you accidentally make noises caused by objects around you while moving.
In addition, it is revealed when stealth is released not only when attacking but also when being attacked, but to make up for that weakness, it is a fairly good characteristic that increases speed by 40% when stealth is released.
A property that, depending on the user, can also be classified as a superlative property.
That’s why, among the seven samurai, Genjou hated Hikari the most.

“Check target. Moving by helicopter.”

Hikari’s radio was transmitted to Tanjiro in Yeouido through her detached unit, which was hiding in various places at a reasonable distance. Picked up.

“Rentaro joins Hikari and subdues her opponent’s stronghold. The rest works as planned.”

The Japanese, who pretended to search the south of the Han River at the command given, began to move according to the plan given in advance, and one of the five remaining samurai, Rentaro Fukutomi, led a detached party and crossed the Han River directly.

***

Elementary commandos who are engulfed in boredom after being excluded from this operation by Hajin.
Not only elementary school friends who had come to the shelter together, but also other people clamored for help in hunting, but the elementary school special forces clung to the shady branches like fruits, just hung like laundry, not moving.

“Whoaaaaam~~!! Hmmmm… “
“I’m bored… “
“Bored… “
“Play with me… “
“Air conditioner… “

An Tae-jin frowned at her and jumped up the tree branch at the sight of her lack of motivation or will to the extent that her whole body was drained of strength just by watching her.

“Aren’t you up?!”
“No, I do not want… “
“Why do we… “
“It’s hot… “
“It’s shade… “
“Don’t step on your clothes… “
“Oh sorry… That’s not it!! Hurry up and help me hunt!”

Ahn Tae-jin patted her chest and vented her anger at the appearance of the elementary school commando who only shook her body, which was caught in her screams, but did not move.

“Aw!!! These little guys are real!! Kang Ha-jin, why did he leave these guys behind?!”
“So… “
“We killed the twins too… “
“We fight well too… “
“I want to kill the side bari… “
“Your Majesty… “

Even at the time of the fighting competition, Ahn Tae-jin was a little stronger than No. 1, the strongest in the elementary school special forces.
However, after going to Yangju and fighting the Japanese, the elementary school special forces became stronger and now even An Tae-jin, the weakest No. 3, could not win.
So even if they tried to do it by force, the Elementary School Special Forces seemed to be completely out of Ahn Tae-jin’s control, but in Kim Hyun-jun’s absence, the elementary school commandos respected Ahn Tae-jin’s position as the temporary leader of the actual guard group, not Park Jun-mo, the deputy leader, so they did not want to do anything annoying. I had no choice but to follow his words.

“A bunch of werks on the left~”
“There are also Arachne on the tree, so be careful~”
“Here comes the army. No. 5, you shoot that one.”
“No, No. 4, you go.”
“Why are you doing this to me? No.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
“See you guys later..!”
“… “

The elementary school special forces, who became a little embarrassed at the sight of Juha running toward the oncoming army and Minseo passing by warning while biting their teeth, only then began to help people hunt by moving their fluttering bodies busily. Ahn Tae-jin shook his head and leaned against a large tree for a while wiping the sweat from his forehead thanks to the hot weather.

“Whoa… The weather is terrible.”

Hot weather with no wind.
The hot weather made it difficult to even move without the shade created by the dense trees, making hunting even more difficult for those who were already having a hard time, but it also gave them very unexpected information.

Talk-

Drops of water falling on leaves on the ground.
It was a very small movement and a small sound, so even if it happened right next to me, I wouldn’t notice it at all, but by chance, it happened in the tree opposite Tae-jin Ahn, who was cooling off his sweat while fanning his hands with his hands, was staring blankly at it. Stood out on
And Ahn Tae-jin’s eyes widened in surprise.
It was simply a drop of water, but it was a phenomenon that could not be explained unless it was raining.
It wasn’t water dripping from a tree or falling from the sky, but just a drop of water suddenly falling from the air.

Gap- Swoop-

Ahn Tae-jin, who let go of the knife stuck on the floor, raised his hand on his waist and pulled out a short military knife.

Shiiyik!!!
Caang!!!

Military knives bouncing sideways and Japanese appearing in a space where there was nothing.
It’s not an A-class trait like Hikari, but a B-class assimilation trait.

“Start!!”

15 Japanese appearing everywhere along with the cry of a Japanese.
Their identities are those with B-class and C-class characteristics that everyone hides, and they were Kirishima Hikari’s detached corps.

“Ugh, ugh!!!”
“What, what?!”
“It’s a surprise!!!”
“The Japanese guys are invading!!!”
“Big… Heck… “
“No!!!”

Japanese hiding behind a tree, Japanese emerging from the top of a tree branch, Japanese popping out from among the bushes, and so on.
Despite overwhelming numerical superiority, due to the sudden surprise and the difference in individual strength, like a herd of buffaloes running away from a herd of lions, 10 people quickly cope with the situation among people who are distracted and run away.

“Yang Woojin! You protect the guards and the people!”
“Yes! Choding Commando! Protect people!! If you make a mistake, you will be beaten by the captain!”
“Ooh!!! Don’t die, you stupid idiots!!”
“Camilla and Deanna are on the left!!”
“Yes!”
“Leave it to me!”
“Juha and Minseo..! Well, you know how to do it well.”

Unlike when the Plaza people attacked in the past, Ahn Tae-jin, who quickly and promptly gave accurate instructions to the situation, looked at Min-seo and Ju-ha, who had already subdued the two Japanese, and ran toward the Japanese in front of him.

“Where do you dare to attack this place?!”

Kaang!!!!
