Chapter 34
Crackle-.
– Captain, did you see that?
Kang Young-chan’s voice came through the earpiece.
Kim Hwan-soo grunted in response.
“Hmph…. Yeah, I see it.”
Two, no—all the other squad leaders listening to the radio are staring at the same spot.
The most ornate and largest hut.
From there, ominous black smoke was rising.
– What should we do?
“The atmosphere is unusual. Only Sergeant Kang and I will head toward the smoke. The remaining sergeants, join your squad members. The squad leader, report to the division immediately.”
– Aye!
Kim Hwan-soo drew his sword and swung it with all his might toward the sky.
CRASH-!
The moment the limp sword straightened into a perfect line, a tremendous sound erupted.
Sonic Boom.
It was the explosive sound produced as the sword tip surpassed the speed of sound.
“That should be loud enough for him to hear.”
Kim Hwan-soo’s action was a signal to call out to Kang Young-chan.
He could have explained it over the radio, but this method was far more intuitive and effective.
He’d summoned Kang Young-chan this way several times before.
“Were you nearby?”
Not long after the deafening roar echoed, Kang Young-chan could be seen running toward them from afar.
As he drew nearer, his form became clearer. Kim Hwan-soo first frowned, then pinched his nose.
“Young-chan, go wash yourself in the river or something.”
“What? When you called me, where were you?”
“You stink.”
