Before War

A blue-haired man was standing on a tree branch. Even though he was a soldier of a kingdom, he was not wearing his knight armor; instead, he wore a black suit.

Of course, there was a reason for this.

His king chose him to be the team leader of the investigation unit, so he did not wear his armor because his black suit could help him carry out missions better than his armor.

The name of the mature man was none other than Jake.

Jake was not alone because his subordinates were with him.

He did not order his subordinates to split up because their target was a dragon that had many subordinates, so from his point of view, it was better to stay together.

'Hmm? What is this? Earthquake?'

Jake was startled when the ground and trees were suddenly shaking.

'No. This is not an earthquake.'

He skimmed his surroundings to find out what was going on.

Shortly after that, one of his subordinates rushed toward him and stood next to him.
