V54C2P1 – Dragon’s Attack

Miliam Fortress .





The users standing on the fort walls could see the monster horde tainting the earth black as they advanced . The ground shook with the monsters’ movements .

“Ugh… Those things are coming to attack . ”

“They’re unstoppable . ”

Many users had not yet returned since they all marched to the Garnav Plains . The current number of users at Miliam Fortress was approximately 5,000 .

Compared to the usual number of over 30,000 active users around the fortress, it had significantly declined .

– Kuoooo!
– Shred human flesh, consume them!

At the frontline of the monster horde was a creature named Butcher .

The boss of a horrifying dungeon in the level 700s . He had a grotesque form and black skin .

*Crumble!*

Butcher smashed the fort wall with his double-edged axe .

Each time, an ear-piercing thundering noise echoed and a fraction of the wall collapsed .

“We don’t have a chance here . We must run too . ”

“That’s a good idea . ”

The users of Miliam Fortress scrambled out through the rear gate .

– Kill all the humans!

The monsters quickly approached the walls that Butcher had destroyed .

They climbed the walls relentlessly, each with 8 long furry legs .

Some monsters dug underground and surged from inside the fortress . The users that did not get away in time were slaughtered .

< Miliam Fortress was overrun .

The national prestige of the Arpen Empire is decreased by 2 .

The loyalty level and security of citizens near Miliam Fortress is decreased greatly .

The activity of monsters near these regions will become more frequent . >

The Arpen Empire had gained control of Miliam Fortress in the Central Continent and lost it to monsters within a week . National prestige spreads influence to various areas including foreign affairs, special products, and knights’ royalty level .

Savant Village .





Anton Fortress .

City Soven .

These locations fell under the hands of monsters in just a single day .

Kaybern’s activity disturbed a large number of monsters and the Versailles Continent was swamped .

***

“It is an honor to meet you . Weed-nim!”

“Mmm… It would be pleasant if I am promoted to a knight of the Arpen Empire . ”

“It is great to meet you at a place like this . I was deeply impressed by the quest Great King of the Desert . If Weed-nim had not come to the desert, I also would have been absent . ”

Barang .

It was the capital of the desert . Weed commenced negotiations in a place filled with excellent users . The goal was to accept them under the Arpen Empire and acknowledge the individual tribes . He was worried that some of these tribes may have alternative ambitions, but the users of the desert region did not go against it .

“Ha-ha . Weed-nim spends all his fortune to upgrade the regions . Please develop the desert like you did for the Central Continent!”

“K-ugh . ”

“How much funding are you going to invest in the desert? It would be nice to have a large river that runs through the desert . ”

“A river…”

“An amusement park! Build an amusement park, so that a lot of people will visit!”

Weed’s popularity was at its peak even in the desert!

Geomchi and the apprentices decided to completely merge into the Arpen Empire without a single doubt .

They even wanted to hand over the control over their associate warriors and tribe members .

“Being a man is all about trust . Loyalty . ”

“Of course . You never know when you’re going to die . We must live admirably . ”

Weed sighed quietly as he observed the tribe members brought forth by the apprentices .

“To think that it was this big of a mess . ”

Geomchi and the other apprentices did not pay any attention to internal affairs . They were merely fetching food each time they thought that the members were going to starve to death . The security level of the desert region was quite low and had a low level of technology . Weed was taking on a poor tribe that had no concept of possessions . Weed sent a whisper to Mapan .

“Please deliver food supplies and necessities to the desert as soon as possible .

– Mapan : The cost of food supplies are increasing due to Kaybern . What is the quantity needed?





Weed quickly scanned his surroundings . He saw an endless number of people sitting on the sand . The desert tribe members with camels and sheep spanned beyond the sand hill .

“I need consistent amount for feeding about 100,000 people . Can you make the delivery?”

– Mapan : That is possible . However, Weed-nim . I believe that currently, you have insufficient funds…

“Can you put that on a tab?”

– Mapan : Tab works . But at a 3% interest weekly .

“Let’s not put that kind of thing between us…”

– Mapan : Weed-nim once said, give what you need to give and take what you have to . That is a long-lasting relationship .

“You have excellent memory . ”

– Mapan : Also, you said there is no such thing as family when it comes to money .

“…”

Weed could not afford put it on credit and instead agreed to hand over the equipment gained from the Hermes Guild members at the Garnav Plains battle .


< A vast territory with numerous tribes supporting you . You have the 7th highest influence since the birth of the Pallos Empire . >

The 1st and 2nd places for influence were Geomchi and Geomchi2, and they were hunting in the north together with their girlfriends . The unification of the southern desert region was as good as decided already .

Geomchi smirked as he spoke .

“Youngest one, where are you headed to now?”

“I have to make a trip to the North . ”

There was a sign of the Eye of the Sun rising in the Desert of Tranquility . When the night of the desert turns red and a day or two passes, the Eye of the Sun forms and creates a storm .

Weed could not wait idly at the Desert of Tranquility .

“Are you leaving the desert completely?”

“If the Eye of the Sun forms, I will come to destroy the storm and I will be able to meet the Sun Tribe . ”

“The Sun Tribe… I’ve heard stories of them . They are the mightiest tribe in the desert . ”

“Even if they may be, they wouldn’t be a match . ”

“Of course . We are the best . ”

***

Bard Ray was able to get away after tediously signing autographs to users in Morata .





‘I must hurry . I am never coming back anywhere near Morata . ’

The vast Northern Continent .

Kaybern led to multiplying monsters, making it a rare case for one to encounter other users in the field .

“Hey, let’s go . ”

He rode on the bull he purchased in Morata and travelled straight North-west . Monsters that resided only inside of bizzare dungeons came across his way occasionally, but they posed little threat .

“Mana Sword . ”

Secret skill of the Sword Technique . It summons a flying sword . As it flew, Bard Ray charged closely behind its tail .

The coward bull was astonished each time a monster appeared, but quickly came to realize that its owner was powerful . After that, it kicked its four legs in a ragingtempo .

Bard Ray couldn’t believe his own state of riding on a bull .

‘A cow instead of a horse… To think that I’d end up riding on it . Average speed is slower, but it passes through mud really well and it has great strength . ’

The Northern bulls were exceptionally comfortable for riding . He had a lot of money which led him to buy an expensive bull . The Morata head merchant of the Mapan Association spoke .

“You know of Yellowy that Weed-nim rides? This one’s the 3rd generation . It’s the best breed! The downside is that it eats a ton, but it’s stamina and strength are extraordinary . ”

He pretended to listen, but the more he traveled, the more he realized the truth of the head merchant’s words . If he let the bull loose for a bit, it consumed all the grass nearby and walked to the woods .

*Bang! Bang!*

It kicked a tree and snatched the fruits off the ground as they fell .

*Craaaaack!*

It would sometimes kick with too much force that even thick bulky trees would snap .

‘It gets scared way too easily, but would be amazing in combat . Though you don’t really rely on mounts the higher level you become . ’

Bard Ray heard some news about the horse that he was riding until recently .

“Stuart is doing well . ”

“Stuart?”

It was a legendary horse born from an extreme probability of one in several millions .

They roamed countless hunting grounds together, and he had lost the horse after being defeated by Weed .

“Ah . Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned it . I thought you would have been curious . It is doing well on a ranch . It’s being fed a load of nutritious things and it has good relationships with the female horses . There are plains where horses can run freely even in the North, so I am planning to start breeding . ”

In addition, he heard that there were many shepherds and ranch workers in Morata . The Emperor of Arpen Empire was a sculptor, so not a single job would be mistreated .

Bard Ray thought to himself as he rode the bull northwest .

‘I will definitely win the next battle . What’s more… Weed became a warrior? I also will become stronger . ’

The farthest point northwest within the Northern Continent . The weather gradually turned colder as he passed through the Valley of Death and Purgol Fortress .

“Moooo . ”

“Cover up with this . ”

Bard Ray placed overa magic cloak with thermal functions on the bull .

If it was Weed, he would have said that the bull will grow used to the cold, but Bard Ray had a tender side . Conversely, he was merciless to his enemies during conquest .

He finally arrived at the village of the bulky barbarians .

“Halt . This is not a place for the average use5r . ”

He had acquired this 1st-class information from the Hermes Guild . This village was the Barbarian village where he could advance into the Iron-Blood Warrior .

***

Under the command of the dragon soldiers, the monster horde passing through the Varq Mountain Pass in order to attack human lands was constantly growing in numbers .

“Screek!”

“Croak . Creeek!”

There were many stray monsters roaming about, but the hordes sizeable enough to destroy fortresses and cities numbered11 groups .

4 hordes were gathering around Thor and one more was being assembled eat each of the Britten, Haven, and Tullen Regions .

For Haven, the powerful Hermes Guild was able to protect, but the rest required the protection of the Arpen Empire .

*Shwaaaah . *

Rain followed over the heads of the advancing monsters .

– The acidic level is low but it’s rotten . Contaminated rain is drizzling down . The plants of the continent are suffering or dying out .
– Why is this happening all of a sudden?
– The exact cause is unknown but we can make a plausible assumption . It seems to be due to Kaybern . It is likely a characteristic by the Black Dragon… We can speculate that he is spreading poison .

The great lords that each govern over a region announced that there was a phrase in the quest about Kaybern’s cursed rain, confirming the speculations to be true .

– The continental danger can only be stopped by defeating Kaybern or the monsters .
-The plants are all dying… This is terrible .
-Yes . Fortunately, I have received reports that the trees in the Elven Forest are not affected .
