Login Psychopath - Chapter 108
Only Noblemtl
Episode 108.
The second quest that appears in the form of a linked quest.
Naturally, Isin had no intention of carrying out the quest properly.
‘I can’t just listen to one side.’
We had to strike a good balance so that one side didn’t gain too much advantage.
At the same time, we had to keep the hostility towards each other as high as possible.
Jeong Yu-ra asked.
“why?”
“That way, when the Territory War breaks out, they’ll fight to the death. If they just fight for a while and it ends, it’ll be difficult for us to get involved.”
“Does it end properly?”
“yes?”
Most territory wars are like that.
Because they are nobles who have a lot to lose from each other.
It’s rare for a fight to go all the way unless the difference in power is such that one side can clearly win.
“Is that so?”
“That’s why I’m doing this. I’m continuing to provoke them so that they’ll fight to the death until the end.”
“I thought you were just doing it to have fun.”
“Hmm? No, if you wanted to have fun, you would have joined the riot as soon as it started and pushed all the way to the castle. Kill the soldiers, kill the knights, and kill the lord…”
“… … That, that’s right.”
Jeong Yu-ra hurriedly covered Lee Shin’s mouth.
Arthur then asked.
“Then how are you going to do the quest?”
“We should just pretend to do it moderately. Let’s have them set fire to a place like the guild hall and get out.”
Then, you can report it to the police and have them arrest you.
It would be even better if you could join the security force and participate in the arrest process.
“Then you think Count Killim thought we captured him?”
“…aha!”
“What if the soldiers tell you that you did it because you told them to?”
“That doesn’t matter. The Count is close to me anyway, so he’ll believe what I say.”
The effect of high intimacy!
Although the public service value was somewhat reduced due to the loss of many soldiers, it was still an enormous amount in absolute terms, so it did not have a big impact.
“ah…….”
“And from here on out, it’s simple.”
Receive soldiers from Count Killiam, who wants revenge.
This time, go to the Amphiri estate and do the same thing.
This is repeated over and over again, going back and forth between the two territories.
The ill will towards each other builds and builds until a war of attrition breaks out.
* * *
Lee Shin immediately put the plan into action.
And it was very successful.
“Oh, there’s a fire! There’s a fire in the hall!”
“Who dares…!”
“… It’s them! Catch them!”
Thud! Thud thud!!
“Ugh!”
“… No, Arthur!? What are you doing…!”
“These guys… dare to set fire to someone else’s territory!”
“… Look, you ordered it, didn’t you?”
“Shut up!”
“… … !?”
“… …!?!?!?!”
Although the soldiers were very confused, Isin cleanly ignored their cries.
And then he beat him so hard that he couldn’t even open his mouth anymore and didn’t even have time to breathe.
Thud! Thud thud thud thud!!
… snap!
“Ugh!”
“Ahhhhh!”
The sound of breaking and popping.
The soldiers’ desperate screams echoed.
It must have been so bad that even the captain of the guard, who had been looking at Yishin with satisfaction, later went over there and told him to take it easy.
but.
“It seems like it’s already been subdued, but not to that extent….”
“What are you talking about!!!”
“Uh, um?”
“You guys dared to set fire to someone else’s territory! We need to show you an example!! Shouldn’t we?”
“Well, that’s true.”
You are the one who doesn’t even listen!
Instead, he continued to beat her even more severely, and only stopped after he had his mouth completely covered by his body.
[The soldiers were badly injured.]
[The soldiers fall into a coma.]
“phew.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Yishin wiped the sweat from his forehead refreshingly.
And the guard soldiers watched the scene with cold sweat dripping down their faces.
Although they had not personally experienced it, they were terrified after witnessing the overwhelming violence right before their eyes.
Thanks to that, the next conversation was easy.
Yishin approached the captain of the guard with a stiff face and opened his mouth.
“excuse me….”
“Huh! Yes?”
“… … ?”
“Oh, no. Ahem! What is it?”
“I think I should report this to the Count. May I?”
“You? It’s supposed to be me, the captain of the guards… … .”
“Isn’t that okay?”
“… It’s not that you can’t do it! It’s true that you did the most, so do it.”
“thank you!”
* * *
“No, you’re here already?”
Perhaps because of their high level of intimacy, the count greeted Isin with a smile.
“yes.”
“Haha, indeed. Your ability is definitely there.”
“thank you.”
[ Completed.]
[Gain experience points.]
[Level Up!]
[Count Killim’s intimacy…]
“… … But now that I look at it, you lost all your soldiers? What happened to you?”
“That depends on the circumstances.”
“What’s the matter?”
“… It’s a bit difficult to explain in words, but anyway, that’s not important right now!”
“What?”
“Actually, something like this is happening outside right now….”
“…Huh? Huh? Huh!?”
[The count is furious.]
“… How dare you, Rodin, that author!?”
“Don’t worry. I have a good plan.”
“What is that?”
“If you give me just a few soldiers, I will… .”
It wasn’t difficult to persuade the count, whose eyes had already turned red.
Since Isin was so trusted by the Count, the Count gave his soldiers to Isin without much hesitation.
“Let’s do that.”
“thank you!”

[ has been completed.]
[ has been completed.]
[ Completed…]
Lee Shin went back and forth between the two territories and completed quests at a crazy speed.
At least three a day was standard, and when I was fast, five or more was no problem.
Considering that each quest was a chunky quest that would level you up one or two levels, it was an incredible speed.
However, even though I completed the quests so quickly and in such large quantities, the linked quests showed no signs of ending.
The reason was simple.
“… What? The enemy sent soldiers to our territory again?”
“Yes, it’s not a big damage….”
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s big or small. What matters is the fact that we were attacked.”
“What do you mean?”
“… It can’t end like this.”
[The Count proposes a quest!]
Revenge that bites its own tail!
Or, it was an expression of the mentality that even if it ended, I would hit it last and finish it off.
As it turned out, Count Killim’s psychology wasn’t much different from Count Rodin’s, so a ton of linked quests followed.
[ Completed…]
‘… This is my first time seeing 18.’
Even this person can’t help but laugh out loud!
Little did he know that things would turn out like this.
However, this endless series of quests is finally starting to come to an end.
“Are you really going to see it through to the end?”
“I think so.”
“after…!”
Because the counts on both sides were beginning to tire of this endless cycle of revenge.
However, ending it here was impossible because the ill feelings towards each other had already grown so great.
So, the thinking went that it would be better to fight openly in this case.
Count Rodin muttered sadly.
“We’re going to go all the way, so we can’t back out.”
“That means….”
“It’s war. I must send a messenger to Count Killaim.”
[Count Rodin declares war on the fiefdom!]
Count Rodin declares war.
Count Killaim, who received the messenger, had the same reaction.
[Count Killim declares a war on the territory!]
[You have caused discord between two counts and started a war over territory! This is a great achievement. You have acquired the title, .]
[Notoriety rises.]
[A fief war soon breaks out as the two counts declare a fief war.]
[Time left: 3 days]
[Caution!]
[Now, dark clouds begin to gather over the two territories.]
At this time, the last message was not only sent to Isin and his party.
Since the Territory War is something that affects the entire territory, it appears to all users belonging to both territories.
* * *
[Cirque durricanes begin to gather in the territory.]
[Caution!]
“hmm?”
“… … ?”
A warning message suddenly appears.
Most users were left tilting their heads, wondering what was going on.
“war cloud?”
“what’s this?”
“I don’t know. Are you talking about protests? No, but these messages don’t appear at protests…?”
Most of the users belonging to the territory were just temporarily settled in a hunting ground appropriate for their level.
Or maybe you came from another kingdom because of the main quest that occurred this time.
They had no idea what was going on among the realm leaders, and they didn’t really care.
“…Is this what the Kingdom of Eton was originally like?”
“Oh, I guess so.”
“Well, wasn’t this place originally a lawless zone?”
Most users treat this situation lightly!
Since I don’t know the details, there was nothing I could do.
But some people who had been active in this territory for a long time were different.
Although I didn’t know the exact details, I had some inkling of the cause.
“uh?”
“this….”
As soon as they received the message, they rushed to the vicinity of the castle.
And today, I muttered as I looked at the familiar face I saw inside Yeongju Castle.
“…Does that seem like the right person?”
“maybe.”
Count Rodin.
And standing next to him, walking in the garden together, was Lee Shin.
* * *
Now that the main quest has started, many users have flocked to the Kingdom of Eton, but before the main quest, there were almost no users in the Kingdom of Eton.
It was natural.
There isn’t much infrastructure within the kingdom, public security isn’t great, so you have to be wary of PKs wherever you go, and the quest rewards aren’t that good compared to other kingdoms.
An environment full of only shortcomings!
If it was for the sake of the game and to play in a comfortable environment without worrying about the back of your head, there was no need to be in a kingdom like this.
It would have been much better to just operate in another kingdom.
But even so, the users in the Kingdom of Eton were largely divided into two groups.
First, there are those who like this harsh and harsh environment itself.
Most looter players fall into this category.
Because if you want to enjoy PK without worrying about notoriety, there is no place better than the Kingdom of Eton.
This was the reason why the image of the Kingdom of Eton became bad among users.
The second was for growth.
To be precise, for ‘explosive growth’.
This seems to contradict the explanation above that there is no infrastructure and quest rewards are not that great, but if one condition is met, the story changes 180 degrees.
The main quest will take place in the Kingdom of Eton.
In fact, this wasn’t the first time there was talk of a main quest in the Kingdom of Eton.
Back when Isin killed the 8th Prince and many quests disappeared as a result, that was the first time there was talk of a main quest.
And even at that time, countless users flocked to the Kingdom of Eton.
Of course, the bubble burst quickly and most people returned to their original areas of activity… .
Not everyone was like that.
Those who desperately needed to grow, or who thought that the main quest would definitely take place in the Kingdom of Eton, still stayed in the Kingdom and laid their foundation.
The Phoenix Guild was one of them.
A solid guild with most of its members being top-tier users.
However, since there were no ranker-level users, it was ambiguous to call it a top-tier guild.
A typical AAAA-class guild that can never become S-class even if they die!
‘hmm.’
In that situation, Gilma thought.
He was an ambitious man.
How do we get ahead from here?
We don’t have enough money to recruit rankers, and each user isn’t particularly talented…
There was only one answer.
‘The answer is the main quest!’
‘yes?’
