99 It Seems I Can Make a Living by Painting (1/2)
Jun Min and Soujin catch up with Soujin's soldiers after a few days marching. They're put on a difficult spot as the enemies are trying to trap them into going even further.
Soujin creased his brow. If this keeps on, they won't have enough food to finish the war and might suffer big losses instead. He looks towards the forest before him and called one of his commander.
”Sweep that area with the Shadow Squad. I don't want anyone left.”
”Yes General!”
Jun Min turned his head towards the area that Soujin pointed to. He doesn't see anything unusual from that area, just what is Soujin see from that place?
Looking at Jun Min gaze, Soujin explained. ”There are traces of soldiers marching that way. I need to keep vigilance.”
”You can notice even the smallest mark?”
”Yes, I do.”
Because of his curiosity, Jun Min tries to go towards the area where Soujin said he saw something. From the corner of his eyes, he found some broken branches and faint footprint on the ground. If not for Soujin reminder, he would never have noticed that this place has some hidden things on the ground and bushes.
”Your eyes are really something.”
”Thanks,” Soujin answered simply and turned his gaze around. He guided them to the higher ground which allowed them to look around the forest and noticed the movement of enemies easier, and ordered the soldiers to make their camp here.
Looking around, Jun Min noticed that this place is indeed a good place for setting up a camp. This place is similar to a natural fortress which is easy to defend and hard to attack. It seems like the knowledge Soujin had is indeed plenty and he could easily spot a place like this even from a faraway place.
Jun Min arranged his own soldier to make their camp here before setting up his own tent. The number of soldiers he brought here is less than Soujin's soldiers, but all of them are his personal soldier which means their strength are guaranteed.
