"I have news," Jackson told Joonbum as they watched Jinpok and Hectos punching away at each other . The spectators burst into shouts, and Jackson and Joonbum moved away to talk . "A huge clan was formed between the countries . They are trying to fight against us as a group this time . " "Hmph . " Joonbum touched his chin while in thought . "They will create bonds by arranging marriages between the royal families . " "I see . So?" "Huh?" Jackson became confused, but Joonbum shrugged it off, "So what?" "Huh? Oh… Uh, we should prepare…" "For war?" "Y-yes-, I mean, no . But, we should not let that continue…" "You're worried . " "Of course!" Jackson grew red and glared at Joonbum . However, Joonbum grinned and answered, "What did our intel say?" "Our intelligence recommends that we should attempt to dismantle the clan first . We can pressure our neighboring countries to stop the arranged marriages, and if that doesn't work, we can move our armies as a show of power . We can send our armies for monster-hunting expedition purposes, and that will be enough . " Jackson turned to the sparring now that all of the soldiers had joined the fight . He then continued, "If nothing works, then we can use our sniper team and assassinate important figureheads . " Joonbum, however, frowned . "Let them be . Let them make that clan or whatever . " "Huh? B-but!" Jackson tried to argue, but he stopped because of Joonbum's cold glare . "We can't do it like the Horuns used to, right? Or do you want to become like the Horun Empire?" Jackson realized what he had said . He loathed the Horun Empire for their wrongdoings as well as their insolence . And yet now, Jackson was trying to do the same thing . "Let them be . Where I come from there's a saying that says, 'Rats bite when they are cornered . ' Injured animals fight back harder . I know what you're worried about, but let them be for now . We'll find other ways to retaliate . " "What other ways are you talking about?" "We have the culture and economy in our hands . We'll handle them with that . It will take some time, but no blood will be shed . " Jackson couldn't answer but he looked at Joonbum with respect . "Oh, they're back . " Joonbum stood up as two men with bruises all over their faces approached . "What did you say back there? Huh?" "Hey, I was just joking . " Jinpok and Hectos walked up as they joked with each other and Joonbum smiled . "What are you laughing at!?" "Haha . " Jinpok shouted at Joonbum, but Joonbum just laughed harder . "We should go . " "Where?" Horses had been prepared, with Doral already mounted on one . After glancing at Doral, Jinpok became confused . However, Jackson spoke up instead . "You should go on a monster-hunting trip . " Jinpok became dumbfounded . "What? Now? Me?" "Yes . " "What is this? Is this real? Am I a commander? Or a regular soldier?" "I know, right?! What kind of commander gets ordered around like this?!" Jinpok and Hectos complained . "Don't worry, your emperor is going too . Haha!" Joonbum answered with a laugh . "Ugh, okay . But stop laughing like that, will ya?" Jinpok spoke as he hopped on the horse, and Hectos followed . Then they moved out . Jackson watched the four of them ride off and mumbled, "Have a nice trip . " They were going to a destination two days away on horseback . It was a place where a natural spring had been discovered . Monster-hunting was nothing for these four men; their true goal was to seek out the spring and get some rest . * Joonbum sensed many forms of life pulsating from the forest . He then smelled the distinct tinge of blood from the front and raised his hand . Jinpok and Hectos stopped . They raised their weapons at the signal, and Doral readied his bow from the high branches of a tree . 'There you are . ' Joonbum turned toward the monster . It had the face of a tiger and the tail of a horse; the body was about twelve feet long with very thick fur and dark stripes . It was a monster called a Kaymon . In a split second, Doral fired his arrow at the monster as it began running . Joonbum, Jinpok, and Hectos charged towards it as the monster ran . "It hunted a Giant Bear!" The monster had been feasting on a bear that was larger than itself . The bear's intestines were already gone . "Careful!" Doral shouted a warning as the monster turned around and attacked . "Bastard!" Jinpok swung his axe and Hectos swung his two-handed sword into the Kaymon's front shoulders .
