With Cha Hyun-seung's addition to the group, the pace of survivor rescues accelerated significantly.

Hundreds of beasts moved in perfect coordination, and each of them was far stronger than the average monster, making a huge difference in their operations.@@novelbin@@

Excluding the retainers, only about 300 citizens were directly participating in the Seoul reclamation mission.

This was the result of strictly selecting only the top-tier forces—those who had reached at least level 30.

The number of citizens who met this requirement was incredibly low.

In total, only about 0.3% of the entire population—approximately 1,700 people—had reached level 30.

And among them, only the top 300 had been selected to take part in the rescue operation, highlighting just how dangerous Seoul truly was.

‘Monsters over level 30 are as common as pebbles on the street.’

Some were even fully covered in iron armor, while others were immune to physical attacks, making them impervious to gunfire.

One wrong move, and death was inevitable.

Naturally, caution was necessary.

Seo Ye-jin’s mice were used to scout for nearby dangers and survivors, allowing them to set the safest possible route before proceeding.

Yu Han-gil’s clairvoyance ability was deployed in real-time to identify threats, while Kim Jae-hyun coordinated the movements of his retainers accordingly.

To prepare for emergency situations, they even relied on Shin Dong-hoon's time distortion ability.

Even if it only lasted a few seconds, the ability to turn back time proved incredibly effective in preventing fatal situations.

Yet, despite these precautions, there were still casualties—people suffering serious injuries or even dying in the field.

This was why Cha Hyun-seung’s beast army was nothing short of revolutionary.

Not only were they all exceptionally high-level, but their diverse species and unique characteristics allowed for adaptive strategies in various situations.

However, the most important factor was that Cha Hyun-seung was well-known in the area.

When they found survivor groups, convincing them to leave their hideouts was always a difficult task.

But with Cha Hyun-seung himself leading the rescue efforts, the situation changed completely.

* The military faction
