Overgeared - Chapter 205

Chapter 205
Chapter 205



In this ‘Golem Army Invasion’ episode, the army of the Eternal Kingdom was helpless .

Not only did 1,000 golems advance to the capital, but the hundreds of thousands of troops couldn’t eradicate them .

On the Internet, the netizens laughed at the fact that the Eternal Kingdom couldn’t do anything . They ridiculed King Wiesbaden and the nobles, stating that they were raising dogs instead of recruiting soldiers .

‘They don’t know . ’

The Eternal Kingdom wasn’t weak . Rather, they were strong . The evidence was that the Eternal Kingdom had maintained its position of neutrality for many years .

‘But this time, their opponents were too bad . ’

The golem army was unreasonably strong . In fact, the Giant Guild and 100,000 users weren’t able to compete with the golems .

‘Even I was barely able to destroy a soul doll, but the people of Grid’s group are monsters…’

Huroi, Lauel, Euphemina and Grid . Grid already had powerful users and he absorbed the Tzedakah Guild while the world was watching . It was obvious that Grid’s power would become stronger than the Giant Guild or Snake Guild in the future .

‘Overgeared… Should I apply? My life will be set if I could join . ’

Reinhardt was busy with recovery efforts .

“Can you help me?”

“I need a hand . ”

The soldiers and residents gave quests to join the restoration work . However, the 304th ranked Happy ignored them and headed towards the royal palace .

‘There are more people than I thought . ’

Thousands of users were gathered in a huge training ground . They were people who made great achievements in the ‘Fight the Golems’ quest . It was a small number considering that 100,000 users gathered in Reinhardt .

The administrators gave them their rewards in turn .

“You are the 16 member squad that destroyed an old golem? It was hard . I want to thank you on behalf of the kingdom . You will be awarded with 300 gold and 100 kingdom contribution . ”

300 gold was worth 360,000 won . The users were quite satisfied . Sometimes, they looked with envy as a party that killed more than two old golems appeared .

“Ohh! Sir Happy!” Once Happy’s turn came, the administrator was very enthusiastic . “Many soldiers and people witnessed you becoming active on the battlefield . You took on an old golem and soul doll alone? You will be awarded with 1,900 gold and 800 kingdom contribution . I am grateful for your defense of the kingdom . ”

The users made a fuss .

“Wow, amazing . He defeated an old golem and soul doll alone?”

“1,900 gold… I’m envious…”

“But isn’t Happy a ranker?”

“That’s right . He’s in the 300s or 400s?”

“Kyah~ as expected from a ranker . ”



Happy snorted at the users’ envious gazes .

‘They shouldn’t be envious of me . ’

Happy’s gaze turned towards the golden group in the distance . At this moment, the king was paying direct attention to Grid . How much would Grid’s group be rewarded? Happy was restless . He wanted to log out and watch the awards ceremony on TV .

‘The legendary great magician…’

Grid hadn’t thought that Braham was such a great person . A person who had already died for hundreds of years had moved golems that caused a kingdom to fall into crisis . Braham’s ability was mind-boggling . But why did he invade the Eternal Kingdom?

‘Whatever the reason, I don’t like it . ’

Due to that damn crazy magician, Sehee and his father-in-law almost died . Grid wanted to check what was contained in Braham’s Message .

‘However, I have to receive this first . ’

The brilliant golden awards ceremony .

“Glory to Viscount Grid!”

Cheok!

The soldiers saluted as soon as Grid’s party entered . It was unbelievable that they had just suffered from an invasion and lost family and friends . Grid was impressed by how strong their minds were .

‘I remember my days as a soldier . ’

Grid’s military service wasn’t good, but now he glorified those memories . Grid was proud of the soldiers who did their duty . At this moment, he felt a sense of gratitude to the Korean soldiers who were suffering to defend the country . It was sad that the world still wasn’t united .

‘Aren’t North Korean women pretty as well? I wish we could be unified . ’

Thump, thump .

Grid walked straight through with an upright posture . He had great physical strength and concentration due to his stats, so dignity radiated from him . The king seated on the throne and the nobles gulped .

‘Indeed, this is the appearance of a legendary warrior . There are no chinks . ’

‘He has a deep look in his eyes . It’s like the ocean . ’

‘I am envious of that firm waist and broad shoulders… I would be able to love more women if I had that body in my youth…’

When armed with the Holy Light Crown, Grid’s dignity exceeded 850 points . This was a figure that surpassed those of the major nobles of one kingdom, so it had a tremendous effect . The nobles forgot that Grid was a commoner and gazed at him with envy .

“Thank you, once again . ”

Wiesbaden expressed his gratitude again from his throne . He couldn’t imagine that the cause of this incident was Grid, so he just considered Grid as his savior . But the important thing was that Grid also didn’t know he was the culprit .

Grid showed a wait-and-see attitude .



“If it wasn’t for you, this kingdom might’ve disappeared from history . ”

Grid currently had the upper hand . He judged that there was no need for him to show humility .

“I hope that Your Majesty will show me your sincerity . ”

It was a rude comment to the king of a nation . If Grid was a normal person, the king would’ve been very unhappy and the nobles would’ve resented him . However, Grid had high dignity and was the hero of the kingdom . No one questioned Grid’s words . To them, Grid just looked like a charming figure . Grid would be praised as manly even if he took off his pants .

“Earl Aden . ”

The king called the person in charge of finances . Then an old nobleman came forward and said, “First of all, I will reward the achievements of Baroness Jishuka and the other 21 people who joined the battlefield later . ”

The Tzedakah Guild stepped forward as they were called .

Earl Aden conveyed King Wiesbaden’s will .

“Baroness Jishuka and 21 others have saved Earl Steim and defended their kingdom, helping Viscount Grid defeat six of the ancient weapons . You will be awarded 20,000 gold and 10,000 kingdom contribution . In addition, they will be given the title of Viscount for their loyalty to their kingdom . ”

“We are much obliged . ”

The compensation was as they expected . The Tzedakah Guild members were completely satisfied . The media were excited .

『 The experts speculate that there should be 20 users who became nobles in Satisfy . Among them, the only viscounts are Grid, Zibal and Chris . 』

『 But now, 22 more viscounts are born . In addition, all 22 people are Grid’s subordinates . They can appoint three knights each, so the result is that Grid has around 70 knights . This is a truly tremendous power . 』

The earl continued .

“Huroi, Lauel, Euphemina, Ruby and Sexy Schoolgirl . You joined forces with Grid to defeat 733 old golems, 187 soul dolls and 12 ancient weapons . If you hadn’t acted, this country would be in a great crisis . You will be honored as a hero of the kingdom, receive 442,900 gold and 184,800 kingdom contribution, as well as the title of Earl . ”

Numerous notification windows popped up in front of the five people .

[The title ‘First Earl’ has been obtained . ]

[You have become an earl of the Eternal Kingdom . ]

[In accordance with the laws of the Eternal Kingdom, an earl can have 10,000 soldiers and five knights, and can have up to three spouses . You will receive a monthly salary of 3,000 gold . ]

『 Earl…? 』

The reporters of each broadcasting station were astonished .

『 It’s amazing . Didn’t the kingdom originally have a limit on the number of senior nobles? To appoint five earls in one day… 』

『 It means they are big enough to make the Eternal Kingdom endure the financial bleeding . 』

『 If they are earls, then… Grid should become at least a marquis . 』

『 Grid is truly amazing . He’s writing a new legend every time . 』

『 … Sexy Schoolgirl didn’t do anything during the battle, but she was still counted? 』

『 … 』

Five earls were born, and all of them were Grid’s subordinates . The world became frenzied at the breaking news . Huroi, Lauel and Euphemina were pleased at gaining more rewards than expected .

But Sehee and Yerim didn’t care .

“Is an earl good?”

“Perhaps?”

“Is 442,900 gold a lot?”

“Well, I don’t know . ”

“…”

Lauel sighed as he looked at the two girls . People who were born with gold spoons couldn’t perceive how good they had it .

‘I wish I had a brother or sister like Grid too…’

As Lauel was feeling jealousy, Grid was receiving his rewards .

“Viscount Grid, you led your knights and colleagues to defeat 733 old golems, 187 soul dolls and 12 ancient weapons . Your achievements can’t be denied . You will be praised as the country’s hero…”

“The next part will be a burden for Earl Aden . ”

King Wiesbaden got up from the throne . Then he congratulated Grid instead of Earl Aden .

“Viscount Grid will be given 500,000 gold, an infinite amount of kingdom contribution and the large city Reidan . In addition, you will be awarded the title of duke and your statue will be set up in the Hall of Fame, keeping you alive to the next generation . ”

“I want you to pledge eternal loyalty to the royal family . ”

“I, Grid…”

Grid was about to pledge to Wiesbaden when Lauel urgently sent him a whisper .

–Only swear allegiance to King Wiesbaden, not the royal family .

Grid didn’t understand . But he did as Lauel said .

“I, Grid, swear eternal loyalty to Your Majesty . ”

“…”

Some nobles frowned . In particular, the princes’ faces filled with anger . However, King Wiesbaden was over 70 years old and in a state of considerable decline . He didn’t find any issue with Grid’s remark and smiled .

On this day .

New articles praising Grid were spread all over the Internet . The number of fan cafes for Grid increased exponentially . But since the number of Noe’s fan clubs increased more, Grid was struck with a sense of defeat .
