Episode 41. Initiation (2)

The well-trained war horses panicked at the sight of the ferocious drake and his stench. Those belonging to the 24th Regiment, hardened through fierce battles, were able to hold their ground, but the reinforcements’ horses had no chance.

“Ugh!”

Chaos erupted as men fell from their horses while others tried to calm down their frantic mounts.

“Hey, be quiet. They’re going crazy because of you.”

Seon-Hyeok smacked the smug drake on his head.

Grr.

His drake immediately drooped his head, as though he was a puppy being scolded. Even so, the frightened horses showed no signs of calming down.

“I fed the drake already, so I’ll go get Stella instead. Don’t start until I get back.”

“You really go through so much trouble feeding him. And don’t worry - you’re the first.”

“Oh, really? Great! I’ll be right back!”

Seon-Hyeok disappeared like the wind, excited by the response. He soon returned on the back of a brilliant white horse.

“Then should we get started? It’ll get dark soon, and we can’t let this drag on until tomorrow now, can we?”

With that, Clark got the men to step back.

“Further back. Don’t get caught up in the fight.”

The reserve units felt it was strange, being asked to step back much further than what they imagined would be necessary, but nobody stepped forward...
