Inside the building, the dim light flickered as Lin Seok stood at the center, his sharp gaze fixed on the map of the city sprawled across the table.
The soft hum of electronics, along with the distant sound of helicopters outside, created an uneasy atmosphere.
Beside him, a group of elite warriors—each a Pillar of the Ranker world—gathered, their expressions tense but focused.
Among them were Jin, the stoic swordsman, his katana resting casually on his back, and Kira, the sniper, who silently cleaned the barrel of her high-tech rifle.
Lin Seok leaned over the table, running his finger across the map. His brow furrowed as he spoke, his voice calm but authoritative.
"Those orcs... they're not just brutes. They're slow, yes, but that's not the problem. Their battle instincts are... terrifying."
Jin, standing with his arms crossed, nodded slowly. "They're reading our movements, Lin. They know where we're going to strike before we do."
