Joonghwi walked ahead of the clan next to Jaehwang. He was the youngest in the clan but he was the most qualified person to take on the criminal investigation so they both took the lead even though it was unfair for the newcomers. It meant that their skill wasn’t as good as his but at that moment, they were more concerned about their survival.
Jaehwang got off the bus after listening to Joonghwi’s explanation and helped them out with the navigation.
There would be a battle so it was important that they would examine the topography of their surroundings first before heading in. It’s a matter of life and death, that’s why they checked its every detail as they continued to walk.
“This looks like the place that the report said.”
They saw something appear down the slope before they made their way into its surrounding forests.
“This is called ‘the great giant’s footprint’ isn’t it? Gosh… its foot must of have gotten really dirty.”
Joonghwi looked around the place using his binoculars. He couldn’t see far due to the fog.
They found their way down to the valley with the information they received from the control tower with Joonghwi taking the lead.
“A contagious disease…”
Joonghwi was having a difficult time but he still continued to command them with the help of hand gestures.
They followed his hand gestures until they found a nest-like spot on the ground to sit on. They were finally able to take a break now that they had found the valley and luckily they were close. None of them could still forget the gravity of their situation.
They went on their way with utmost care until they couldn’t see the place where they took their rest anymore.
“Ugh… this is my fault.”
Joonghwi apologized to everyone. It wasn’t easy but he admitted that he messed up their position.
“You didn’t make a mistake, boss. The compose is a little all over the place here.”
Peji said as he checked the navigation panel. The monster distribution clearly wasn’t accurate and suddenly the valley then started to appear.
“No. I did make a mistake.”
Peji analyzed it again. Jaehwang then started talking with the spirit and when Jaehwang got off the bus, he let the spirit appear to assume her form.
-Even though I haven’t been a human for a while it’s still the same.
-Yeah.
Jaehwang answered back. They avoided the eyes of the monsters as they walked through the valley and they found that the Bileons were planning an ambush through the traces that they had left for everyone to find.
-You could die.
-I know. Those guys are known for their cruelty.
Jaehwang said with a sympathetic tone. He couldn’t bare to witness things through the spirit’s eyes.
-Anyway, be careful. There are lots of them.
-Okay, good luck.
The spirit said and Jaehwang gave her a nod as he continued to follow Joonghwi’s lead. The navigation helped them find their location through the safest course.
And they then finally reached the place, the traces of attacks had now become obvious.
“Those idiots…:”
Joonghwi looked through his Binoculars. The platoon members then looked at the site. Everyone was seeing what Joonghwi was seeing but Mingyu just sat there because she felt hungry. They didn’t do anything because they couldn’t blame her. Even they were feeling very nauseous.
“They should be punished.”
Sengyeon said.
There were about 20 of them crowding around a giant burning tree. Some of them thought that they would torture them and burn them in the end, it was a terrible thought that everyone entertained.
“If you refused to join the church then they’ll cut off your limbs and they would skin you alive, after that, they’ll tie you to the tree and set you on fire.”
“Those idiots… They can’t be human.”
Hyejun clenched his fist.
“Peji, turn on the radio. Let’s check things first. ”
Joonghwi said.
Peji got the radio and Joonghwi checked back into Justin point. Jaehwang was in the woods without anyone else noticing. He wanted to be alone for a moment and after walking for about 100 meters a giant boulder showed up in his path.
He saw someone who was camouflaged, he was sitting there with his head faced down.
“Deaconess, the army troops have arrived. Yes… Yes… Their leader looks excellent. The location… Got it. Please stand by. It’s SamJeon’s honor…”
They finished speaking with someone on the radio and they checked in with the platoon. The camouflage was amazing and made them completely unnoticeable even if someone was right next to them.
“These people… I don’t know if we’re in their main room right now.”
He could barely see their exact location. Jaehwang was the best thing they had to lead the platoon and he had known a lot about geography since the beginning. But having the best knowledge about geography drew in a lot of dangers to him. That was why examining the topography was important.
“Today, we’re not gonna let them do what they want anymore. Let’s do this together…”
He looked back at his platoon with a serious expression. The thought of them committing a slaughter haunted them about two hours ago but now, all of them are excited.
Originally, they would have to recruit believers and all of them would have to go through the same process but what’s different was that they would assault all the women that they would try to recruit.
The Church was filled with insane people but no one cared.
All of the children that were born from the assault of those men would end up to be their workers.
“Ugh… It would be great if we get the pioneer pastor’s information. Three platoons would be joining us in this operation”
There was a group meeting currently being held in the main temple along that skilled pastor who had everyone’s attention. His temple was filled with forty soldiers divided among the three types of hunters and in the temple’s shrine, they had about 150 recruited believers combined.
They all felt a powerful force surging out of it.
…..
Their hearts were beating fast and when they tried to focus on the surveillance, they heard the sound of someone stepping on some leaves. He got scared and quickly turned around, he then lost his camouflage causing a severe attack of pain.
“Ouch!”
He tried to scream for help but the pain was too much. Someone got a hold of his right arm, it broke it and viciously yanked it. He screamed and shouted but that didn’t help. The attacker seemed to have no mercy.
The attacker did the same thing to his left arm before it crushed the joints in both of his legs.
It all happened within 10 seconds. The bones of his body were completely broken as the attacker then covers his mouth.
Jaehwang checked his pulse when he had fainted and with that, he picked his leg and dragged him back.
“Jaehwang, where are you going- Oh….”
Yuri said before he saw what he had in his hand. She thought he was carrying a giant wild animal but then she saw that it was an actual person.
“What happened…”
“He was watching us.”
Jaehwang said and all the platoon members stood up with a full alert. Joonghwi then walked to Jaehwang and spoke.
“Where did you find him?”
“About 100 meters outside hiding under a rock. He was talking on a radio with someone.”
“What were they talking about?”
Jaehwang told him what he overheard and Joonghwi started to look worried. They had to make adjustments to their plan.
“Should we all go in?”
“We could just go in and attack but the SamJeon Church used to be apart of the Justin point base and most of them had a high ranked position”
HyeJun explained.
“Well, there is a possibility that we could do that.”
Joonghwi was thinking about the Justin point control tower a little while ago. He requested for them to continue to stay and spy on them as they think of a more elaborate plan. Jaehwang also mentioned contacting their strong troops so they could come within 12 hours.
“I don’t know about this. Leader…”
“Huh… Maybe you’re right. Well, if we just leave like that then our troops would turn into a sacrifice. Uh… Jaehwang… How do we find those guys?”
Joonghwi asked and Jaehwang answered,
“You have to have great eyesight to shoot an arrow well.”
“Whew…”
Joonghwi sighed at his answer. Jaehwang had outstanding skills but he was still a newcomer, he did save the platoon life once but there was no room for praise right now. He knew that he had mastered his skills but he was anxious. There was a chance that he couldn’t defeat the Bileons and there was a chance that he would get killed with the slightest mistakes.
“Good. sorry for asking this but, when the platoon goes back, check for any more watchers.”
Jaehwang shook his head without a word. Joonghwi then continued on.
“Sengyun?”
“Yes, leader?…”
“Let’s get closer to them first. ”
“Got it.”
Seongyeon gave him a nod before they started to move closer to the Bileons’ home.
“Something’s strange. The exit of the valley is dangerous but we have to keep our cover.”
“Okay.”
Joonghwi followed the directions and they quickly left their places. The further they went, the more dangerous it became.
The platoon members were careful to not leave any tracks behind. They reached their destination and the valley below the cliff was inhabited. If they got caught they things could get dangerous. There was nothing that they could as cover.
Jaehwang watched out for anyone spying on them. The group of Bileons was much bigger than their platoon and if they came after them in here then none of them would be able to escape. It would be very difficult to handle them if that happens, the valley was cramped and they could even be wiped out with just one attack.
A terrible smell of garbage filled the air but they kept moving and none of them complained. They had found a crack after a few hours of walking so Joonghwi gave the command and they all went inside it.
It was a long way down. They didn’t know when they would reach the end but at least they didn’t see any monsters. The inside of the crack seemed safe, none of them had any trouble so they were fine but Joongwhi still kept his watchful eye towards the end of their tunnel.
“I don’t see anything yet.”
Joonghwi didn’t give any more important jobs to Jaehwang because he was a newcomer. He was very talented and out of everyone in the platoon, he was the best at finding any spies but that’s that. He wanted to make sure that everyone is safe and he couldn’t shrug off the idea that maybe it would be better if Jaehwang took the lead instead.
“Please… Be safe… Let’s turn around…”
“Did you see something?”
“Ow!”
They looked ahead to see what was bothering Joonghwi.
“We need a miracle.”
They found a watcher spying on the platoon and Joonghwi pointed at it in fright.
“What is that?”
“Someone found us! They found our location!”
“How…”
Jaehwang said and all the platoon members looked at him with a grave sense of fear.
If they knew where they were then they could ambush them at any time. They all took a deep breath and relaxed, they all realized that if they had encountered someone they didn’t know, then they could just take them out.
SameJeon’s Church Bileons 2, The end.
