This was quite an unusual thing—an alliance of large guilds that only they knew about. It was really amazing. However, the secret didn’t last long. The rumor spread quickly. It was true that there were no secrets when there were many people involved. This information was passed onto the other guilds that supported Hyeonu. Various guild leaders and vice-leaders gathered to prepare a countermeasure.
“In that case, shall we join together?” Liu Shei said carefully. Liu Shei was conscious of the man before him, Gang Junggu. In fact, after their encounter in reality, he became even more cautious of Gang Junggu. Kim Seokjung and Gang Junggu were people who couldn’t be compared with those in Arena, and Tian Hu was no match for them. If Tian Hu was Iced Americano full of ice, they were espressos. Moreover, they were of a thick full-bodied roast.
‘The guy who laughs well among those monsters is also amazing.’
Liu Shei was once again amazed by Alley Leader, who mingled with them without hesitation.
Gang Junggu spoke toward Liu Shei, who had a strange expression, “We have to come together. It will take them at least one or two weeks to get here. The Balder Mountains isn’t a place that is easy to break through just because there are many people.”
The Balder Mountains were never simple. There was a possibility that the monsters would flock, and they would all be wiped out instantly. Everyone nodded and expressed their agreement.
“One or two weeks? That’s too short. It will take a long time since they’re just basing off the information they can get from Alley Leader’s streams. The place after the entrance is the problem. Once they cut down the black-maned lions, they will have no more information.”
The people present knew that better than anyone else. This place was completely different from the Hejin Great Mountain Range. The difficulty jumped by several times. Anthony, who joined the alliance later, murmured, “Fortunately, there are the videos sent by that person. Otherwise...” He was the master of Blaine, the guild recruited by Reina. He was also a single-digit ranker and a grandmaster in the arena, but Hyeonu had never met him before.
“It was helpful to watch the videos. Then we could gather the magicians to cope with the situation. Even if our items are a bit lacking, the attribute damage is powerful,” JT Telecom’s Kim Jinyong added to Anthony’s words.
“Then how about joining the camps together and doing group actions from today? I think we also need to go deeper in accordance with the schedule...” Mascherano disagreed carefully.
He had to be cautious. Among the people gathered here, there were representatives from only three professional clubs—Red Bull America, New York Warriors, and JT Telecom. Professional teams had a fixed schedule due to the league, so they couldn’t hunt at will. Mascherano thought this was a disadvantage that the guilds didn’t have.
“Then what if we split into two? It will be centered around Red Bull America and New York Warriors. It will be impossible to combine these two teams because they have conflicting schedules,” Mano’s Patrick corrected Mascherano’s comments.
However, JT Telecom’s schedule wasn’t taken into account at all. Despite also being a professional team, they were treated just like Patrick’s group, the Mano Guild. Then Gang Junggu, the oldest one and the organizer of this meeting, spoke up immediately, “That sounds good. Do you all agree? If you agree, please raise your right hand.”
Everyone raised their right hand and agreed with Patrick. Now there was only one matter remaining to coordinate. How should the guilds be divided?
“We will talk about how to split it up. Mascherano is here, and Reina will be on the other side.” Gang Junggu started coordinating the guilds. He placed Mascherano and Reina in front of him and then assigned people to each group.
“Since you’ve brought them into the alliance, shouldn’t you take them with you? JT Telecom and the Tank Corps, stand next to Mascherano. Likewise, Blaine can stand next to Reina.”
Now there were four guilds remaining—New World, Behemoth, Mano, and Kowloon. Two were strong, and two were weak. Among the four, New World and Kowloon were strong while Behemoth and Mano were on the weak side.
Gang Junggu recalled the names of the remaining guilds and frowned. It was because the situation was unlikely to work out the way he wanted.
‘I would love to bring Liu Shei...’
However, Mano was brought in by New World and had to be with New World.
“Then New World and Mano will join the New York Warriors. Behemoth and Kowloon should join Red Bull America, and it will look right.”
One side had New World, Mano, Blaine, and New York Warriors, while the other had Red Bull America, JT Telecom, Tank Corps, Kowloon, and Behemoth. The two sides of Red Bull America and New York Warriors were well balanced. No one made any complaints.
Gang Junggu continued to speak to them, “Starting from tomorrow, we will use New World’s camp here. You just have to consult with each other about the hunting time and let me know.”
Five people, including Mascherano, gathered in a circle to talk. They were probably adjusting their schedules. Gang Junggu saw this and pressed his lips together.
‘There is a minimum level of security.’
It was bad enough to have this many variables just once.

After exercising in the morning, Hyeonu moved his stiff body and sat on the massage chair. He was holding something in each hand. His left hand held a protein bar, while his right hand held a smartphone. Hyeonu chewed on the chocolate-flavored protein bar while smiling. He was reading an email from Gang Junggu with a brief summary of the current situation.
‘The situation... is okay.’
It wasn’t what he expected, but it was true that many guilds had run into the Balder Mountains.
‘They can’t all follow me anyway.’
It was a conviction that only Hyeonu could have since he knew the most information about the Balder Mountains. The Balder Mountains wasn’t a place that could be entered in just a short time using large numbers. Hyeonu got up from the massage chair and grabbed his laptop.
