“Brother, what is this situation?”
Do Seung-min, who clung tightly to the seat next to me, asked me.
Do Seung-min is an assassin in Team B of the assault team.
I deliberately assigned him to the same team as me.
[Silver Moonshadow] The Holder with the rune has the potential to play a big role in this dungeon raid if he is polished a little.
That’s why I put him next to me to teach him directly.
Anyway, for now, Do Seung-min is the weakest assassin Holder in our assault team.
Well, it’s not like I have some grand meaning like ‘I’m going to take my first disciple!’
I’m just a sophomore Holder myself, so how can I take a disciple?
It’s just that I added one special management target to the assassin members who have to go in two per team.
“Call me Captain, Holder Do Seung-min.”
That’s that, and this is this.
I don’t know why this kid keeps calling me brother whenever he gets a chance.
It’s only been three days since we actually met.
“Ah. I’m sorry, Captain. But you can comfortably call me...”
“...I’ll do that myself.”
“Ah, yes!”
Ah, Seung-min...
I can’t help but sigh at the words of my inexperienced little brother.
It feels like I’ve gained a real little brother since we even have the same last name.
I looked up again and looked ahead.
—–!!
Grrrr...!!
The rough roars of the werewolves and the silent momentum of some lycans can be felt.
At a glance, the number of werewolves is about 30?
20 of them were on the other side of the hill, and behind them were three lycans.
The lycans boasted much larger bodies, soft fur, and rippling magic than the werewolves... And even one of the lycans in the middle had dark blue fur.
‘That one must be the leader.’
It is commonly said that ‘lycanthropes have silver fur’, but in reality, the fur colors of lycans vary greatly.
To be precise, lycans of a certain strength or higher, S-grade lycans, have different fur colors even among their own kind.
In other words, among the five lycans over there, the four with silver fur are probably A-grade, and the middle one is likely the leader, an S-grade.
In terms of dungeon monsters, it would be a mid-boss level.
‘And on our side...’
On the other hand, the lycans near us...
There were only two lycans near the hill.
Their colors were all silver too, A-grade lycans, and the werewolves with them numbered only 10.
Vastly outnumbered compared to the other werewolf/lycans.
Naturally, they were at a disadvantage in the ongoing battle.
“Captain, what are you thinking of doing?”
Lim Hyun, the team leader of Team C nearby, asked me.
Clearly, as a veteran Holder with a lot of assault team experience, the level of his question was qualitatively different.
What to do.
Right.
What they were and what the situation was didn’t really matter.
Based only on the clues given so far and my speculation, she had figured out that we had to side with a particular faction.
She wasn’t Team A’s ace for nothing.
“It doesn’t matter.”
“...It doesn’t matter?”
“Yes. Although the place we’ve come to is the camp of those called the Baratens, that doesn’t mean we have to absolutely side with them. It’s fine to help another camp. And all of this is just speculation anyways, there’s nothing certain about it. We may have to fight against the disadvantaged Lycanthropes right after helping them.”
Of course, it’s all nonsense.
To explore the dungeon, we absolutely have to side with the Baraten camp.
The Clark tribe is an aggressive tribe that can’t be negotiated with in the first place.
I know that fact well, and I also know that the disadvantaged lycanthropes are Baratens.
But I couldn’t tell the squad members the truth, so I just added sophistry to package it as a plausible reason.
“......”
Angela looked like she had more to say, but soon she nodded in acceptance of my opinion.
—–!!
Grrrroooaarr...!!
Bang! Kwagagaga-!!
The momentum on the battlefield began to shift rapidly.
The Clark lycanthropes relentlessly pushed back the Baraten lycanthropes using their numerical advantage and superior abilities, and it seemed the battle would soon end in a Clark victory.
“All offensive warrior-type and assassin-type members, follow me.”
At that, I immediately gave instructions to the squad members.
It was the formation of a separate task force, without dividing into teams.
In such a sudden attack situation, the efficiency of defensive warrior-types isn’t very high, so they were assigned to guard the rear while the offensive warriors and assassins formed the task force.
They had rune settings specialized for offense, mostly possessing ‘Movement Runes.’
Moreover, with the aid of recovery properties and items, they could maximize their speed to the extreme.
And moving at that utmost speed...
They aimed for the ‘side’ of the ongoing lycanthrope battle.
‘Call of the Contract.’
Amidst the swiftly moving squad members, I immediately used the [Summon] rune.
The contract monster summoned was Tyrbon.
The one who had fought alongside me the most battles.
His huge size would immediately give away our presence, but in such chaotic battle there was no better charging mount than him.
Kyaoooo–!!
Amidst the howls of the wolves, the rough roar of the wyvern rang out.
I leapt up to board the Tyrbon that had appeared in midair, and simultaneously drew out [Wyvern Spear] as well.
Tyrbon’s unstoppable charge was due to [Greatest Racehorse Under Heaven].
And the [Accel Piercing] used in sync with it.
There was no more effective attack when it came to ambush and striking first.
‘Tyrbon, faster.’
-This is the maximum, master.
The target was the navy-colored lycanthrope standing in the center.
Seemingly the leader of the Clark camp lycanthropes.
