Episode 113.

[A temporary alliance is formed!]

An alliance is formed between Isin and Count Rodin.

The impact was immediate.

Tiring.

[A war of attrition has broken out!]

[You can now support the Allied Forces and participate in territory battles.]

[If you win the Territory War, you will receive a reward, which will be paid out differentially according to your major ranking.]

[Just be careful. If you lose the battle, you will both be held responsible for the defeat!]

“!”

As Isin formed a temporary alliance with Count Rodin, this was a message that appeared before the eyes of all users staying in Edgar’s territory.

The eyes of the users who didn’t even know why they had gathered turned wide.

“huh?”

“…omg!”

“Yeongjijeon?”

Even though Dokgo and Taeyoon had thought something was going to happen when they hastily gathered users, no one knew that it would be a large-scale event like the Yeongji War.

“I thought it was just a large territory quest or guild request or something like that….”

“me too.”

In an unexpected direction!

However, from the users’ point of view, there was nothing bad about it.

Because the rewards for territory battles will be much greater than those for regular territory quests or guild requests.

There.

“… Oh, wait. But you’re saying you’re applying to the Allied Forces? What does that mean?”

“Are you saying you’re interfering in the fight between other territories?”

“I guess so.”

“Where?”

“Wait a minute… It’s called the Amphiri Territory and the Killaris Territory?”

“Oh, there?”

The power of the opposing territory is noticeably weaker than that of Edgar’s territory!

Even after the two of them had already fought, it was obvious that they were both exhausted.

In this case, it was safe to say that there was no possibility of defeat.

The only risk is gone!

Groan, groan.

There was an uproar among the users who had finished assessing the situation.

Their reactions fell into three main categories.

“Wow. Then, wouldn’t it be beneficial just to participate?”

“But the competition for rankings will be fierce….”

“You’ll have to accept that.”

Or looking for small profits.

“Hey! Call all the kids nearby now.”

“Those who haven’t logged in? Go out for a bit and contact them! If not now, then when are you going to fight the spirit world…!”

Or to get fired up for a full-scale ranking competition.

“We give up on competing for rankings.”

“What? Then what should I do?”

“We… … focus on plundering!”

Or, you can make plans to make a big profit while you’re at it.

This tendency was prominent in small parties, especially the groups of marauding users who had been active in the Kingdom of Eton from the beginning.

“plunder?”

“Oh. Think about it carefully. There are so many people here that there’s no point in competing for rankings. Right?”

“…That’s true.”

“Then wouldn’t it be better to give up cleanly and take at least some definite advantage?”

“You call that looting?”

“If you keep fighting over territory, you’ll eventually end up invading the enemy territory, right? Then you just have to raid as much as you can and come out!”

“Uh… is that okay?”

“Why? Why not? We’re going to win anyway.”

“ah!”

In short, he was trying to commit theft.

Originally, it was something that could not be attempted carelessly because of the fear of the guards, but if there was a premise that victory was certain, then the story was different.

Normally, he would have been punished according to the territory’s laws, but because of his victory, everything was washed away!

“You just have to endure some notoriety.”

In this way, users were excited for their own reasons.

In that situation, Isin’s whisper reached Arthur.

-Come now.

“What about the users?”

-Bring them all too.

“yes.”

Arthur, who received Yishin’s whisper, went straight to find Dokgo and Taeyoon.

“It’s been a long time now.”

“!”

* * *

“… It’s over there!”

“let’s go!”

Wow!

The reinforcements charge upon discovering the enemy territory soldiers in the distance.

The weight of the tense battle suddenly tilted with the entry of the Allied Forces.

The soldiers of Edgar’s territory were much more elite than those of the opposing territory, and as they had just been sent to the battlefield, they were physically and mentally at ease.

They easily overwhelmed the soldiers of the opposing territory.

More than anything, the users’ power and motivation were stronger than Isin’s expectations.

Phew!

“Khahak?!”

“… What? It’s nothing special?”

“Is it because you’re tired?”

Enemy soldiers, already exhausted from previous battles, fall without much resistance.

At first, the users hesitated for a moment, but after they realized that their opponents were nothing special, they stopped.

If you could catch them, each and every enemy soldier was a public service point.

“…Kill them all!”

In order to compete for rankings, you had to sweep them up as quickly as possible before others caught up.

And this was the result.

“Huh? Hey, run away!”

“Chase down those XXs and kill them!”

“…Hey, you crazy bastard! He’s one of our soldiers!”

“Huh? Huh! That’s right… … .”

shambles!

The number of users who gathered over the past three days was close to a thousand.

Considering that even relatively large guilds rarely have three-digit numbers of members, this was an incredibly large number.

Even since most of the numbers were made up of individuals, there was no way they could be properly controlled.

“Kill him!”

“… Euaaaah!”

Phew!

[You killed an enemy soldier!]

[Acquire public service points.]

“No, over there! This is what we were holding!”

“There’s no such thing, the first one to catch it is the owner.”

“What did you say!?”

Because of this, these kinds of fights happened frequently.

It was an inevitable side effect of fierce competition.

Aside from Isin, who was indifferent to the users’ fights, Dokgo and Taeyoon, who were the only ones who could control them, were too busy taking care of their own guilds to care, which only added to the chaos.

‘We should pack what we need to pack. Why did we stay in the Kingdom of Eton?’

‘I already lost a lot to that guy… Now’s my chance to get it back!’

But despite that, the battle was one-sided.

This was because the opponent was extremely tired, and the number of our troops was simply overwhelming.

Soon after, Edgar’s reinforcements literally swept away the opposing forces.

Phew!!

“Gasp, is this the end?”

“I think so.”

The last remaining soldier falls.

A message was printed before Yishin’s eyes.

Tiring.

[victory!]

[You gain a portion (3%) of your total public service value as a commander bonus.]

[You gain a portion (3%) of your total experience points as a commander bonus.]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[Destroyed the opponent with just one spin.]

[Your reputation increases slightly.]

[A great achievement! You gain the title, .]

The ruthless commander

Your ruthlessness on the battlefield will inspire trust in your allies and fear in your enemies.

Now you exude a cold charisma that benefits you when commanding large forces.

•All stats increase by 1.

“… … !”

Isin’s eyes twitched.

What a great reward, even if you just watched from behind!

After looking at the status window, Isin nodded with a more satisfied expression.

[Level: 197]

‘I’ll hit 200 soon.’

This was quite significant.

More than just a pretty fit in numbers, it was also practical.

Typically, most professions undergo one evolution at level 200.

It is commonly called a second job advancement, and new skills are unlocked and the character’s overall specs increase.

It wasn’t clear whether this rule would apply uniformly to legendary professions due to their extremely small sample size, but Isin thought it would probably work.

No, it had to be done.

‘… I already have few skills.’

The performance of the few skills is excellent, so this hasn’t been a big problem so far, but there were still too few of them.

‘Let’s check this out.’

After closing the status window, Isin checked the soldiers’ conditions.

Because it was such an overwhelming victory, morale was naturally very high and there were almost no casualties.

Since the physical condition didn’t look too bad, it seemed like it would be okay to advance straight into the enemy’s territory.

The remaining problem was the users… .

“Oh, shit. Isn’t the public service a little lacking?”

“Isn’t there anyone else to kill?”

“… Next! Next!”

Before Lee Shin could even try to persuade them, the users were the first to become angry.

“hmm…?”

The overwhelming sense of confidence gained from the first victory and the competition for rankings with other users stimulated my desires.

Hurry up and bring the enemy in front of me!

‘That worked out well.’

It wasn’t a bad situation for Isin.

Anyway, I was planning to finish this as quickly as possible.

The decision-maker called out to the allied forces commander and the commander of the Amphiri territory.

“I think it would be okay to end it now?”

“I think so too.”

“What about you?”

“I agree.”

Two people expressing agreement.

Lee Shin nodded and said.

“Then it’s decided. Let’s go right away.”

“yes!”

* * *

“Wow!”

“Attack! Push in!”

Boom! Boom!

Allied forces knocking on the gates and climbing the walls.

The soldiers of the Killaris territory tried to block the wall as much as possible, but it was too much effort.

This was because most of the troops had already been annihilated in the previous battle, so their fighting power was severely lacking.

Kwajik!

[The gate is destroyed.]

“… It’s broken through!”

“Come in, come in!”

The gate was destroyed shortly thereafter.

Users and Allied soldiers poured in like a tidal wave through the gap.

“Kill him!”

“Open all the remaining gates and start clearing the top of the walls!”

As one place was breached, other places also began to be breached one after another, and as a result, before long, the remaining defensive forces of the Killaris territory were completely neutralized.

[victory!]

[The enemy’s defense force was annihilated.]

The fallen territory.

“…Is it finished?”

“then….”

At the same time, the users ran straight towards the houses.

It was to enjoy the winner’s rights to the fullest.

-Hey, who are you! Kyaak!?

-Gyaaaah!

Soon, the screams and cries of the residents echoed throughout the territory.

Then Gilaim approached Isin with a stern expression and said.

“… Sir Arthur.”

“huh?”

“Shouldn’t we stop it?”

“Why? Just leave it alone.”

“The residents’ dissatisfaction will increase. This may have a negative impact on the future management of the estate.”

Yishin’s ultimate goal was to permanently expand his power, not simply win the battle before him.

In order to do that, you need to be able to completely take over the territory and then operate it, but if the residents’ complaints pile up too much, that will be difficult.

“Wouldn’t it be better to stop it now?”

That was the part that Gilaim was worried about.

But this god also had a plan.

“No, it’s okay. Complaints can be easily resolved.”

“…? Is it easy?”

“It’s simple.”

For the time being, you can just raise taxes on users.

“Will you just give it to me?”

“You have no choice. Where else can you find a place as well-equipped as Edgar’s estate around here? Even after considering the tax rate, most of the profits will still be left over.”

“… … That aside, how can that appease the residents’ discontent?”

“This is also simple.”

With the money raised by raising taxes, you can support the residents of the affected areas.

And then, from the residents’ perspective, the perception of Count Aaron and the adventurers becomes a perfect contrast.

The adventurers see Count Aaron as a shameless lord who took away their land. On the other hand, Count Aaron is a true lord who freed them from their evil lord and even saved them.

Of course, if you look into the truth, it’s nothing more than taking the money out of their pockets and giving it back to them… .

“There will be no problem as long as you wash it thoroughly.”

“……ah!”

What a brilliant idea!

But if it works as planned, it is a method that can actually be very effective.

Lee Shin continued talking, raising the corners of his lips.

“It’s best to make a fuss with other people’s money. Isn’t that right?”

“That’s right. You are truly amazing!”

[Gillaim is amazed at your trick.]

[Gillaim’s loyalty increases.]
