Yor Forger, McMahon, and Hemlock are tasked with crossing a demilitarized zone in search of a rare animal, but they end up facing challenges that go far beyond illegal hunters. The highlight is Yor, who not only deals with the external chaos but also faces a shocking threat from someone who should be his ally.
A Garden operation springs into action: a forest mission reveals tensions between assassins
The chapter begins with the arrival of the trio—Yor, McMahon, and Hemlock—at the dangerous demilitarized zone. The wild environment soon proves to be as unpredictable as the team members themselves. While McMahon demonstrates familiarity with the place and introduces his spy bird, Keekee, Hemlock doesn't miss the chance to tease Yor about his home life. This tension, though masked by jokes and provocations, already hinted at something more serious brewing behind the scenes.
Yor, always trying to balance her double life between home and her profession as an assassin, firmly responds to insinuations that her marriage has weakened her. On the contrary, she believes that the love she feels for her new family has only strengthened her resolve. Amidst this verbal clash, the mission truly begins, and the three conceal their vehicle before entering the forest, starting their search for the legendary Miteran Elk.
Hunt for the Miteran Elk: intense action and a twist in the mission
Upon finally finding the Miteran Elk, the group stumbles upon a trap about to capture the animal. Hemlock acts quickly to scare it away, but this ends up having the opposite effect: the animal flees towards the hunters. In a few seconds, the situation explodes into action. The poachers fire at the Elk, and the assassins engage in combat to neutralize the threat. Every move is calculated, but even so, chaos ensues.
During the confrontation, McMahon saves one of the hunters, hoping he can lead them to the enemy camp. Meanwhile, Yor tries to help the wounded moose, but the animal reacts violently. Hemlock, increasingly impatient and driven by murderous instincts, proposes killing the moose once and for all. However, McMahon reminds everyone that the mission is to protect it, suggesting they lead the creature to the river to ensure its survival.
Betrayal and bloodshed: Yor is surprised by Hemlock's attack
The most shocking moment of the chapter comes right after the group separates. With McMahon following the surviving hunter, Yor dedicates himself to calming the Moose. It is in this moment of vulnerability that Hemlock reveals his true nature. Without any warning, he attacks Yor with lethal intent. His gaze is consumed by bloodlust, and what was once a passing provocation transforms into a concrete threat.
The clash between the two is not merely physical, but symbolic. Hemlock represents the absolute coldness of the Garden, while Yor struggles to reconcile his humanity with the brutality of his profession. His colleague's betrayal raises a new layer of complexity about the secret organization, suggesting that there is much more at stake than just official missions. Yor now needs not only to survive the attack, but also to understand the true interests of his companions.
