Chapter 52 (1/2)

“What do you call it… The Goddess of hunting or whatever… do you think she has it in for us, aligning herself with this potential search party?”

“I’ at the development so far, it seems more likely that they haven’t found us yet But if they’ve started searching, they would have predicted where ould have landed and our movement radius They would’ve determined that we landed in the forest or an area adjacent to the forest If so, logically, it’s likely that the Goddess of hunting, ‘Diana’, will be in charge of the search since she’s a local”

“That makes sense”

“Moreover, we must keep in mind that, in this world, they’d know that the only e’d be able to survive was through hunting That’s what I think Following this line of thought, the possibility that we’ve already been discovered can’t be excluded Or…”

“Or?”

“There may be other reasons to leave us alone If you look at the contents of the Goddess’to approach us Again, there’s too little infore or come to any conclusion”

“damn it”

Fro their breaths It was their instinct The cries of the monsters and beasts in the forest stopped The buzzes and other natural sounds fros and insects also stopped It was as if soiven an order for the entire forest to fall silent

“It seems it’ll start soon,” San muttered in a deep, contehts, they’ll probably send in the smaller creatures first The Hawks are a very sht this battle without revealing ourselves”

After staring at her surroundings, Biyeon poured some salt into her mouth and then handed San so the same number?” San asked

“Yes, it seems like three,” Biyeon replied

“Where are their locations?”

“One on the left and one on the right… the center one is a bit ae?”

“At least 1k in all the beasts and ht?”

“Yes Even if we catch all the Hawks, it’ll be difficult to avoid dae on our side We'll inevitably be exposed as well”

“No I think there’ll be a way…”

“?”

Soht was obscured by soradually took shape as the large bonfire’s light reflected off of the directed by soye with a surprised expression

“They're beings called ‘Hawks’ They’re a beautiful, angelic, and winged creature said to live at least 1,000 years They’re as intelligent as huh, but the larger ones are as big as huh, is their ability to control the will of all the beasts, monsters, and animals around theh anized movements are because of them? Why?”

“I don’t know the exact reason, but we think they’re thinking of building a nest here We’re uncertain about what’s happening in the northern lands, but it seeeneral answer He knew that this situation probably had so, Diana ‘If I tell hi has impure intentions, will he believe me?’ He didn’t know for certain, but he also didn't want to take a chance

“What can I do?” asked Dongye

“I need a weapon that can be shot fro like that?”

“We have some useful personal firearms We have ample a around fine now thanks to you two”

The hunters and warriors inside the base cahtly tensed at the oe aura that see the was scarier than it actually was during the daytime Fear was easily trans abnorround, soravity Afterward, sparkling phosphorescence-like eyes appeared one by one from almost every direction In the sky, the sound of violent thrashi+ng wings vibrated the night air It was like iron sheet plates crashi+ng into each other from the effects of wind

In theof fear, Yuren was checking where San and Biyeon were looking He glanced at his captains They looked ahead and were still relaxed In the reflection of the light, there seemed to be a little irritation on their faces, but…

‘If that’s the case, it's no big deal!’

Yuren suddenly felt at ease Not only Yuren, but all of the support staffthe seriousness of the situation from their captains’ every step and every look They all calmly checked and rechecked what they needed to do

To the returning hunters, this entire scene looked absurd

The calmness of the support staff, ere looked upon as the weakest fighting power aroups, seemed to exude a ‘specialness’ that exceeded their abilities This feeling of the support staff’s specialness started from the e anized and stacked up

The support staff were told what signals to observe, what situations to analyze, and what to do Yeria was also doing her job fro warriors were deployed at a distance in the rear to provide long-range attacks They were prepared and ready with the ranged equipht in reserve
