MEMORIZE Chapter 621

00621 Night Of Battle. ————————————————– ———————-=

“So, what brings you here all of a sudden?”

After moving away from the tent prepared for Kushan, Kim Yu-hyeon looked at the users who came to see him and said. In fact, she felt a little tired and wanted to be bitten, but the users in front of her were also northern clan lords. Since we are in a cooperative relationship, there is no need to make her blush for no reason.

Of course, it was the same for the Northern Clan Lords.

“that is… .”

A man sighed a little and looked at Kim Yu-hyeon carefully for a moment. Then she opened her mouth in an extremely cautious manner.

“that… . Now slowly… . I think it’s time for you to tell me… .”

“yes?”

“Ah, of course, I have heard many stories and instructions about giants… . Well, what should I say… . therefore… . Does this mean you want to understand your purpose a little more clearly? ha ha ha… .”

“… aha.”

Kim Yu-hyeon smiled as if he understood what I meant. Then, her man, who started talking to her to see if something was bothering her, hurriedly shook her head and hand.

“Ah, let me tell you in advance, this is absolutely not a complaint. It doesn’t mean I don’t believe it. I’m just saying this out of curiosity, or rather out of pure curiosity… .”

The position of commander-in-chief of an expedition is similar to the position of director of a national team. When he does well, he receives everyone’s respect and praise, but when he does poorly, he receives countless suspicions and criticism. Didn’t the famous Golden Lion also receive a lot of criticism for one failed expedition?

Anyway, from that perspective, it can be said that Kim Yu-hyun has done quite well so far. That too a lot. That’s why these clan lords are being cautious now. In other words, can we say it is conditional trust? If the Jin army had failed repeatedly until now, it would have shown the exact opposite.

“Haha, I see.”

“If you were in a bad mood… .”

“no. “I was already thinking that we should have a full-fledged meeting now.”

“Oh, are you sure?”

Is it because I received a positive response? The complexion of the man who spoke brightened noticeably. Kim Yu-hyeon nodded her head, still smiling.

“In some ways, these may be unreasonable demands, but you all believed in me and gave me full support. I am truly grateful for this.”

“Oh, no. What are you saying… . In the first place, it was brought in as a transfer of all authority. “It’s natural.”

“If you say so, I would be grateful too. Anyway, the day for the final battle is slowly approaching. Before that, we need to have a meeting to sort everything out… .”

“… … .”

As Kim Yoo-hyeon slowly trailed off, tension began to appear on the faces of the users. The day for the decisive battle is approaching. What this meant was clear.

“Previously.”

at that time.

“Everyone.”

suddenly.

“Do you like theater?”

At the corner of Kim Yu-hyeon’s mouth, a smile appeared that looked slightly different from before.

“… yes?”

Users looked puzzled, perhaps because it was an unexpected comment.

Kim Yu-hyeon opened his mouth.

“Everyone knows that I’ve spent a lot of time with that giant.”

“Yes, yes. “That’s right.”

“By the way, I just heard a very interesting story.”

“… … ?”

interesting story? Users who did not yet know English looked at each other in turn with even more bewildered faces.

“So, I would like to receive your help one more time before the meeting.”

After saying that, Kim Yu-hyeon suddenly stuck out her tongue and applied saliva to her dry mouth.

… It seems like older and younger siblings all have the same habits.

*

Some time has passed.

The sunset that signaled the afternoon is also fading away, and the dark dusk takes its place. Evening has come.

Tuk.

Suddenly, a raindrop fell from the sky. Drops of water fell one after another, gradually wetting the ground. It started to rain.

Boom boom, boom boom!

Before long, the mountain range was filled with the sound of raindrops.

“… … .”

Kushan slowly turned his gaze and stared at the entrance to the tent.

The surroundings were quiet except for the sound of rain. Puddles form on the increasingly wet ground, and the gradually colder air touches your skin. Actually, from the giant’s point of view, it was more cool than cold… . Strangely enough, Kushan’s heart is as lonely as a wet puddle on the ground.

It wasn’t sad. It’s a different kind of feeling.

So, should we call it loneliness?

If it were like before, Kim Yu-hyun would probably have come in by now. She said look at it, she must have done a good job pitching the tent, she smiled and put down her bucket full of stew. As they sat facing each other and ate together, she would have shared stories about the human world and stories about her father.

However, even though it has been a long time since dinner came, Kim Yu-hyeon is not even seen to remove his nose, let alone eat.

Although they only recently formed a relationship, Kim Yoo-hyun and Kushan have definitely developed a close relationship in recent years. This was possible because people were intelligent and lived in a society.

In other words, as a ‘human’ or as a ‘giant’. Kim Yu-hyeon treated the giant not as just a monster, but as an equal human being with intelligence.

‘The human race is… .’

Suddenly, the words his father had said came to Kushan’s mind.

‘Strong, very strong. Although it may seem like a mere insignificant thing when viewed as an individual, human strength is due to its tremendous adaptability and endless evolution.’

‘While our future was limited at the cost of the Titan War, humans are a species that is endlessly exploring the future. In other words, they are a species that is allowed to evolve.’

‘I’m not denying the fight. However, it is wrong to unconditionally reject others and to have the perception that we are the best. If we continue like this, one day, the only thing waiting at the end of the road will be destruction.’

‘The former glory is only in the past. If you stay still, you’ll just fall behind. If we are to survive, and if we are to regain our former glory, we must change now. That’s why I have to get out.’

The stance of the former Giant Emperor.

I do not deny combat, but unconditional combat should be avoided. To survive, we must not settle for the present and must evolve. If we can’t solve the problem ourselves, we need to get help from outside. Just like the ancient shaman did in the past.

For this reason, the former Kushan Thor left, and he was a young Kushan raised by such a father.

From then on, humans came into the Iron Mountains of their own accord, although several years had passed since the father left.

The people Kushan experienced were exactly as his father had described. Although they were weak as individuals, their way of life was definitely different from the giants. In the first place, I first learned the concept of ‘prisoner’ after I was captured by humans, so if I say it, it won’t be out of breath.

So, I thought it was possible. He thought that even though he might not reach the former glory that his father ultimately aimed for, he at least had a chance to make a difference. If that’s the case… .

In just one sparring, everything disappeared like foam. The look in the eyes of the humans who looked at the Kushan after the sparring was nothing short of proof that there was an insurmountable gap that made exchange between the two species impossible.

plod along.

It was then.

(Um, is he here?)

As Kushan lowered his head in a sullen manner, someone suddenly walked into the tent. Kushan raised her head, wondering if it was Kim Yu-hyun, and felt puzzled by the man she was seeing for the first time.

(It’s rice. It rained suddenly, so the meal was a little late.)

The man who spoke bluntly placed the pot he was carrying in front of Kushan and briefly chanted a spell. After a while, the rope tied to Kushan’s arm was slowly released. But from Kushan’s point of view, what was important now was not rice.

(Hey, can you talk to me?)

(Of course. I was the one who created this crystal ball.)

The man tapped the two crystal balls around his neck, said (That’s enough, just eat quickly) and sat as far away from Kushan as possible. It was as if she was keeping watch. She stared blankly at her pot for a moment and then turned her gaze towards her man.

(I….)

(huh?)

When the man looked away, Kushan cautiously opened his mouth.

(Isn’t he coming today?)

(Him? Oh, the Commander-in-Chief is very busy.)

(Commander in Chief?)

(Just think of him as the highest ranking human here. And he’s in a very important meeting right now, right? In the tent right next to him.)

The man said, pointing in the direction his back was turned.

Kushan spoke again.

(That meeting… does it take a long time?)

(Well, I guess so, right?)

(Okay then. I’ll wait until it’s over, just in case….)

(You’re so persistent. No matter if it takes a short time or a long time, just eat it? This meeting is being held for you in the first place…)

The man must have been annoyed by Kushan’s request when he frowned with slight irritation.

(User Yang Ki-deok! I think you should come out for a moment!)

At that moment, someone could be heard shouting loudly from outside.

(What is it? Is it urgent?)

(It’s a call, so you’ll have to come quickly!)

(Holy shit. Who else is singing?)

(hurry…!)

Yang Ki-deok grumbled and stood up as the voice kept ringing.

(Hey, you. I’ll be back for a while, so eat quietly.)

He then placed the crystal ball around his neck on the ground and immediately left the tent.

Although some time passed, the stew in the pot did not shrink at all, just steaming up. The restraints on his upper body have been released, but Kushan is just staring out the entrance as before, without moving his hands at all. The surroundings are still quiet, and the only sound is the sound of rain hitting the ground.

Then at some point.

bang!

(Does that even make sense now?!)

Suddenly, the sound of hitting something hard and a shout full of magical power rang in my ears. The words the man said earlier flashed through Kushan’s mind as she was startled.

‘And he’s in a very important meeting right now? In the tent right next to it.’

‘This meeting is being held because of you… .’

Kushan’s eyes went straight to the side of the tent, then fell on the glowing crystal orb the man had left behind. Soon my head was tilted to the side as much as possible.

(You came this far and are going back! What nonsense are you talking about!)

(The attack is almost here. Are you out of your mind now, Commander-in-Chief?)

Many voices can be heard, but Kim Yu-hyeon’s voice has not yet been heard.

(Well… as you all saw today….)

However, coincidentally, Kim Yu-hyeon’s voice was heard at that moment.

(I’m sorry. The giant’s strength exceeded my expectations. I had no idea it would be this strong.)

(You’re saying that now…! No, didn’t you say not too long ago that you would talk to the giant? Didn’t you say that if you did well, you could conquer it without fighting?)

(Yes, I did. But as you all saw today, our greatest warrior was defeated by a giant. However, the giant said that there were 800 more giants stronger than him… This was completely disrespectful on my part.)

(It’s so frustrating. Then, why didn’t you tell me earlier? What have you been doing with that guy? Did you even have a fling with him?)

‘The things I said… . ‘Are you saying everything?’

Of course, he had expected it to some extent, but Kushan felt a sense of betrayal. But it is unavoidable. Humans are currently in the position of conquering this mountain range.

(Now, everyone, let’s calm down. The situation has become like this, so what can we do if we just get angry?)

(That’s right. We don’t necessarily blame the commander-in-chief. We never expected the giant to be this strong.)

This time, unlike before, voices were heard defending Kim Yu-hyun.

(Too much time has already been wasted. Rather than wasting more time here getting angry at each other, I think it’s time to make a decision.)

(So, are you saying we should give up on the strategy here?)

(There’s nothing you can do. Life is more important than strategy. Retreating first would be the best decision.)

(For others, don’t be too disappointed. There’s a saying about an operational retreat, right? We didn’t fail the attack, we just need time to regroup.)

‘Operation retreat? ‘Reorganize?’

What does this mean? Kushan instinctively focused on hearing and listened.

(That is indeed correct. Of course, I admit that the giants are strong. But aren’t there only 800 of them? We are absolutely superior in numbers.)

(It’s not about superiority. What is the advantage of humans? Even though we only have 5,000 men right now, we can go back and gather more troops and try again. Actually, that’s correct, if the people here put in a little effort, we can get 50,000 men. No, you can easily collect more than 100,000, right?)

(I assure you, more than 100,000 are possible. That’s not all. Since the road has already been paved, it will be easy to come back, and you can make other magic or tools to deal with the giants.)

(That’s right. So if we step back from here for a moment, in a few months we will definitely win… Oh, no. Sorry… Oh, we can definitely destroy the giants. Hmm.)

Boom, Kushan’s heart sank.

At first, I was just curious and thought about eavesdropping, but as I listened, I realized that unusual stories were being exchanged.

Putting everything else aside, the Kushan, who had always lived in hundreds, could not even fathom the number of 100,000. Even if you easily won with about 10 people earlier, if 100 or even hundreds of people, which is 10 times that number, attack at the same time, even the Kushan cannot be confident. If magic and tools are added to it, the words of humans can never be said to be wrong.

‘Uh, what should I do?’

(Oh, and let’s take that giant with us. It looks like he’s very interested in humans, so let’s first gently coax him away and then, whether by torturing him or dissecting him, we’ll get more information to deal with him.)

(It’s nagging to say it. Of course, the commander-in-chief will take on this role, right?)

At that moment, Kushan felt as if his breathing had stopped as he continued to hear the voices. Because I felt like I knew who the giant people were talking about was.

And after a while.

(I am….)

Kushan gritted his teeth involuntarily at the familiar voice that came quietly.

(Aftereffects….)

The sound of words that came after a brief interval did not end right away, but faded into a sigh that seemed to have been heard before.

Kushan swallowed his saliva and focused all his attention on hearing. Even though I try not to, the days I recently spent with Kim Yu-hyun keep coming back to my mind. What answer will Kim Yu-hyun give?

‘I said I would…’ . I guess… ?’

After a moment of silence,

(Personally… I hope they let that giant go….)

(What, what?)

Kim Yu-hyeon’s barely audible voice was drowned out by someone’s loudly surprised voice.

But at least Kushan could hear clearly. The fact that his eyes had become the size of a lantern was proof of this.

(Although they are giants…. Kushan….)

And, it was that moment.

thud!

Suddenly, the sound of the ground shaking loudly reached Kushan’s ears.

—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=

Night Of Battle.

The final part of the night begins. It is planned to be a total of 4 episodes, and the next part of this part can be considered the final part of the attack on Region 3. Compared to the area 2 strategy, it has decreased a lot, right? 🙂

And although Kim Soo-hyun is scheduled to appear in the next episode, it will not be a significant appearance. The significant appearance you want is scheduled for the fourth and final episode of this part.

Well, I hope all readers have a good night. _(__)_
