00880 Battle Of The East Continent, Four. ————————————————– ———————-=
The ‘method’ mentioned by Seraph was simpler than I thought.
I will send a ‘mission message’ to some of the users on the North Continent. To be more precise, they said they would call executive-level users from mid-sized clans or higher, explain the current situation, and ask for their cooperation.
Of course, you can guess the angel’s intentions. Since the southern continent has been taken over by the devil, the northern continent is a card that must be captured from the angel’s perspective. The Western Continent was already moving according to the devil’s will, and the Eastern Continent was there, but it was low on mana. If we were to ally ourselves with the devil here, there would really be no answer, so we are probably trying to help in order to prevent that.
As a result, they offered to take charge of the unification process for me, and I had no reason to refuse at all. ‘It’s war starting today!’ There was no way users would move with just one meaningless word, and even then, every minute and every second was a waste. If angels take the lead, the time it takes to give justification and persuade people will be much saved.
Meanwhile, there was something else I had to do.
There are currently two situations that the North Continent must resolve. One is to repel the soon-to-be-invading Western Continent. And the remaining task is to save the Eastern Continent.
Here again I had to choose between two paths. Either we can all work together to crush the western continent as quickly as possible and then leave for the eastern continent, or we can divide our forces appropriately and carry out both missions at the same time.
The former has the advantage of ensuring stability, but if done incorrectly, there is a high possibility that it will play out as Satan intended. No, it definitely will. Since we know that the West Continent is bait, wouldn’t it be absurd to chase after a discarded card?
So, I chose the latter.
After finishing my conversation with Seraph and leaving the summoning room, I quickly headed to Mercenary Castle. On the way back, the once quiet city slowly started to become cluttered, so I walked even faster.
When I opened the front door and entered, I suddenly stopped without realizing it. In the garden, Mar is walking lightly in front of two black guys. An Hyun and Jin Su-hyeon were gaping at Mar like that.
“How am I?”
“Pretty.”
“huh? you are pretty?”
“It means it suits you well.”
hmm. What were you doing?
“Mar?”
When I called his name, Mar, who had been spinning for a while, tilted his body and stopped. Then he looked in the direction I was in and said, “Dad!” She shouts happily and smiles brightly. However, as I looked at Marr, I could not help but tilt her head.
“That outfit… .”
It’s not that it’s not, Mar was equipped with weapons that were never seen before. Her headband, leather armor, gloves, long boots… . How are you? You wore her necklace too, right?
“Ah, your brother is here.”
“older brother! We took some equipment out of the warehouse. “I heard you gave permission!”
As I was staring, Dum and Dumber swaggered out. I don’t know why he’s being flattered, but I think what he says is true. Mar blushed slightly and lifted the silver headband on her head with both hands.
“yes. My brothers helped me a lot in choosing equipment. And this headband was a gift from Yujeong.”
“Lee Yu-jeong? ah… .”
Now that I think about it, that was the headband of chastity, right? It originally belonged to Margarita, so it is a keepsake of sorts. I don’t know if you know this or not.
At that time, Mar spread his arms wide.
“Daddy daddy. How about me? Do you think it’s a good fit?”
“uh? “Oh, I see.”
I calmly agreed, but in fact, I thought it would look better even if I wore rags. Why, there is a saying that the completion of fashion is the face.
… Oops, this is not the time.
“It just worked out well. “You two, I have something to tell you.”
“Yes bro?”
“what? “Who was that person?”
“… … ?”
It was then. Before I could finish speaking, Jin Su-hyeon suddenly pointed to the front door. A shaggy man with a bulging belly was walking in. This is Kim Deok-pil of the ‘battle master’ Rivers Clan. Has it already arrived?
“Hey Mercenary Lord!”
I think he must have seen that message because he rushed over as soon as he saw me. You’re probably very confused, so it’s best to calm down first.
“Long time no see.”
“W~. Long time no see… . “No, this isn’t important!”
Deok-Pil Kim responded by raising his hand, and then ran away screaming. And he said.
“Something early in the year.”
Suddenly, I held out my hand.
… This human really.
For a moment, I wanted to spit on that pot-lid-sized palm, but then I took out a piece of tobacco and flicked it hard. Deok-Pil Kim caught it deftly, smiled and took out the ignition stone. Damn, I say no for no reason.
“Did you check the message?”
“Something from an angel? Yes, I saw it. “I came because I saw it.”
When I spoke bluntly, he grinned and smiled awkwardly. This is a much calmer response than expected. This is a bit surprising.
“By the way, there’s no one else who received the message besides me, right?”
“Probably so.”
“Did you know… . But, I heard they told you to come to the temple? “I came here because it said at the bottom of the message to go find you.”
“hmm… .”
Deokpil Kim, who said that, exhaled smoke and grumbled softly.
“Yanjiang, what is going on here? I know that? “It’s a complete mess right now.”
“Well, roughly.”
“Attack on the western continent, rebellion on the southern continent, salvation on the eastern continent… . You should understand what I mean. It’s too sudden. … But, Mercenary Road. “Is this true?”
“It’s hard for me to believe it, but that’s what I heard.”
Deokpil Kim asked in a coy tone, and I subtly placed the blame on the angel. Because I talked to Seraph about doing this in the first place. Persuasion is left to the angels. All I do is focus on the phenomenon.
At that moment, I saw someone strolling towards the front door again. This time it was Gong Chan-ho.
“Huh, that guy is here too.”
Kim Deok-pil must have seen it too, and let out a short exclamation.
“Let’s go inside first. “There are still quite a few people who will come.”
“Whoop whoop! “Let’s do it.”
Deok-Pil Kim agreed, sucking the tobacco to the end of the filter.
*
It’s a little, but I feel mentally exhausted. To exaggerate a bit, it feels like my brain is trembling. I leaned back deeply against the head of the table and looked around. Before we knew it, nine users had arrived and were sitting in the conference room on the first floor of Mercenary Castle.
Lee Hyo-eul, head of the central management organization.
Dong City, Istantel Low Clan Lord Han So-young, Asasin Clan Lord Lee Chan-hee.
Seo Do-si and Gong Chan-ho of the Northern Union.
Nam Dosi, Rivers Clan’s Kim Deok-pil, Magic Tower Clan Lord Seon-yul, New Koran Union’s Park Hwan-hee, Han Clan Lord Seong Hyeon-min.
North City, Hamill Clan Road Kim Yu-hyeon.
And even me, the Lord of the Mercenary Clan.
A total of ten people gathered. Now, everyone who is coming has arrived.
The atmosphere in the conference room is heavy. Each person sitting here belongs to a clan that would make the second child feel sad, but today, their faces are stiff. Everyone must have come after seeing the message, which is proof that the impact was so great.
Unable to overcome the staring gaze, I let go of my hand that was pressing down on my forehead and announced the start of the meeting.
“then… . “I assume everyone has seen the message, so let’s get started.”
“yes. “I saw it, and I have a question.”
As soon as she opened her mouth, Seonyul raised her hand. Instead of the usual playful expression, it was a serious face that I had never seen before. This feels a bit burdensome. He also has a very straightforward personality.
“If I were to summarize the message, it would be this. The western continent is currently invading. The southern continent joined hands with some strange people and turned angels into enemies. And they are going to attack the eastern continent, and we must defend the western continent from being invaded and at the same time go to save the eastern continent. Is that right?”
Seonyul said all these words very quickly. It’s definitely because he’s a wizard. It felt like something had been omitted, but it wasn’t particularly wrong, so I agreed.
“you’re right.”
“why?”
Seonyul, who frowns slightly, immediately asks a question again. A tone that feels slightly aggressive.
“Think about it. First of all, what about the Western Continent? To be honest, I don’t know what kind of confidence they have coming here again, but if it’s just that they’re coming to avenge their previous defeat, it’s not something I can’t understand. And I am willing to participate because it is for the sake of defending our home. … But it’s not quite the same on the eastern continent, right?”
“… … .”
“Because, no. That’s Okay. Needless to say, any Mercenary Lord will know what I want to say. Anyway, there are just two things I want to know. What happened on the southern continent? And why should we get involved in that fight? “From the position of the current guardian of the Northern Continent, I hope that the Mercenary Lord will provide an understandable answer to these two issues.”
“for a moment. “Can I talk about that?”
It was then. Just as he was about to give his prepared answer, Lee Hyo-eul intervened by raising his hand. The tune seemed a little displeased, but it seemed like he could barely hold it in. Should I call it a kind of courtesy to all officials?
“I’ll tell you straight away. melody? “I know what you’re curious about, but Kim Soo-hyun probably can’t explain it in detail.”
“I beg your pardon?”
As Seonyul frowned, Lee Hyo-eul waved her hand. I don’t know why, but it seems like he’s trying to help me.
“calm down. I know because I played a guardian too. “When something happens, there are cases where you get an explanation in advance, but there are also quite a few cases where you don’t.”
“So, this is a case of not hearing it?”
“yes. Because in these cases, usually… .”
“Oh~. So you’re saying we just have to do what we’re told?”
“No, dear.”
“Hey. Are you kidding me? War is not a child’s joke. “If you throw out a message that doesn’t really seem like anything, then just criticize it?”
When I saw him speak with such sarcasm, a thought occurred to me that it was not a good idea for some reason. She thought it would be confusing, but the intensity was unexpected. There are even signs of a frame being created that is hostile to angels.
Just when I thought something was dangerous.
bang!
“Hey, why don’t you shut up.”
At the same time as the sound of a desk breaking, a crushing sound of musical instruments suddenly struck. Seonyul trembled and shone a trembling light. Opposite of Seonyul, Gong Chan-ho, leaning his head on a chair, was looking down at his opponent.
“Jojal~jojal, you just talk a lot. “Is it because the squire is a wizard?”
“W-what?”
“You’re not the only one who’s confused, so just shut up. “Don’t just mess around alone.”
“… “Are you done talking now?”
Seonyul’s eyes narrow to the limit. However, Gong Chan-ho sneered and laughed out loud. As if you were wondering what to do. The atmosphere suddenly becomes dangerous.
“I’m sorry, but I have the same opinion as user Gong Chan-ho.”
But at that time, the clean-cut man who had kept quiet spoke in a soft voice. This time, all eyes turn to Seong Hyeon-min, who was sitting at the end. Seong Hyun-min clicked his tongue lightly and let out a long sigh.
“As I said in advance, I understand the question raised about the user’s melody, and I think it is reasonable. But. “I would like you to stay still for a while.”
“Stay still?”
“I’m saying don’t blindly listen and look at the situation. Why did this unusual message appear, and why were we the only ones gathered here in a hurry while other users were going to the temple? Although I can say this myself, there is no clan that has just one member. “Don’t you know this?”
“Well, that is.”
“I’m not just curious about the user’s melody. We are curious too. But first, let’s listen and judge. It wouldn’t be too late to raise questions later… . “I understand your confusion, but I really don’t understand why you are angry at the Mercenary Lord.”
“… … .”
Did you say that the sharper the criticism, the softer the language should be? At Seong Hyun-min’s logical words, Seon-yul looked speechless. He then glances at me, then slumps his shoulders and makes a dejected expression.
“I apologize if my words were harsh.”
“… That’s Okay. “No, no.”
Seong Hyeon-min smiled bitterly for a moment, then suddenly looked at me and secretly sent a signal.
… Finally, it seems like the atmosphere for conversation has been created.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
sorry.
Originally, I was supposed to upload two episodes, but I couldn’t keep my promise.
I’ve been having a really hard time concentrating these days.
Yesterday, I braced myself and sat down early, but I only wrote 6 lines in 4 hours. I barely held back trying to erase it.
Actually, I don’t like something about today’s content and I keep feeling embarrassed, but I don’t know why I’m like this. Rest doesn’t seem to be the problem, I think there’s something else going on.
I was thinking about just closing my eyes and resting for another day, but I felt like the situation would only get worse if I let go, so I decided to force myself to continue.
Unless something unexpected happens, we will continue the daily series as much as possible.
I apologize once again. (–)(__)
