Chapter 30
Knock knock-.

“Oh, sit down.”
Dojae sat down at one end of the round table in the commander’s office.
Inside, the captain, deputy captain, and each platoon leader were already seated and gathered.
Except for Squad 1.
“Everyone’s here, so let’s begin. Second-in-command?”
“Yes, let’s begin.”
Deputy Commander Song Hoon unfolded the large map laid out on the table.
He began reporting the situation using a long pointer.
“The current operation is about 70% complete. And Red Oak in Sector 7, Hoiin in Sector 1, and Death Ent in Sector 3 were maintaining a balanced equilibrium. However, this morning, we detected unusual movements.”
Song Hoon pointed to Area 7.
Until yesterday, this Red Oak sector had been under Dojae’s command.
“Bring up the image.”
Song Hoon gave the order to one of the extermination force soldiers. A few clicks sounded, and an image appeared on the large monitor placed behind him.
“These are the photos taken by Squad 2. Please review them first, and I’ll explain further afterward.”
The photo showed a dense cluster of Red Oaks.
Even at a glance, it was a considerable number.
The next photo was taken from closer range.
Each Red Oak bore a weapon and wore crude armor.
As if ready to march into battle at any moment.
“This was roughly four hours ago. Currently, they’re at war with the Death Ents in Region 3, and the Red Oaks hold an overwhelming advantage.”
