In Kokin's view, this valley was eerily quiet.
In fact, it didn't like this silent state because danger always lurked beneath a calm surface, like a hidden poison snake, suddenly leaping out to bite you.
Kokin was a Lizardman Dragon Hunter Cavalry squad leader. In usual missions, the orders were often direct and simple—attack or plunder—but the Dragon Hunter Cavalry occasionally acted as reconnaissance units, one of the tasks they hated the most. Scouting was extremely dangerous, especially in the jungle, where professional skills often spoke louder than speed and agility.
Kokin also disliked situations where it couldn't leverage its advantages.
