Chapter 393 – Siege
“This is how the brave warriors of the empire respond to the call of Heavenly Demon, the benefactor of the empire.”
The glory of victory to you!
As Geomseong began his greeting and knelt, Do-seong, Buseong, Chang-seong, and numerous knights followed behind him and finished their greeting by kneeling.
Their loud voices, unerring movements, and the friction of their thick armor were reassuring enough to calm my mind, which had been disturbed by the impending siege.
“Adventurers salute Heavenly Demon, who is both the god of darkness and the god of adventure!”
Uh? Huh? What do we have?
Adventure!
What kind of greeting is that! Just kneel down!
As if the guild leader couldn’t lose, she started greeting him with the courtesy of a sword saint, but unfortunately, behind her, these people were not rigid knights but free-spirited adventurers.
True to their personalities, the greeting ended in a free-spirited atmosphere, and of course, the guild leader’s face turned bright red to the extent that it was no surprise that Tomato asked him to be friends.
-I should have hoped for that.
-Quiet. Damn, this is really embarrassing. It won’t work. As a guild leader, I need to firmly enforce etiquette.
The guild’s lioness spoke so secretly and began to laugh darkly.
The adventurers, who sensed their fate from that gloomy laugh, hurriedly cast a pitiful look at Jun, as if he were an adventurer whose survival instinct was second to none.
-There will be a battle soon, so please postpone teaching etiquette until later.
Jun willingly granted their wish.
I liked the reassuring greetings from the knights, but I also liked the free-spirited greetings from the adventurers just as much.
Above all, he was the god of adventure.
He couldn’t ignore the adventurers who made adventure their business.
For reference, June is the god of adventure, so it was Lucy’s doctor who was in charge of adventure.
In order to prevent fights between believers, she clearly divided the areas she and Jun would oversee, and adventure was one of them.
As evidence, the statues of her god installed inside the guild and her labyrinth were in the process of changing from her appearance to that of her Jun.
Since the territory that Lucy handed over to Jun was mostly on the dark side, such as darkness and punishment, people who had no connection to adventure felt strange that an adventure overflowing with dreams and romance was under Jun’s jurisdiction, but the adventurers were actually convinced by Lucy’s decision. .
This is because they knew that adventure does not go well with the words dream and romance.
Going back to the main topic, Jun, who protected the poor adventurers from the angry lioness for that reason, soon opened his mouth, taking in them and the knights at a glance.
“Everyone, thank you so much for answering my call.”
A very awkward flat platform.
I wanted to change it to the name right away, but I couldn’t do it, even for their sake.
The reason they came to this far away country, and into the labyrinth where a fierce siege war would soon unfold, was none other than Jun’s call.
And the reason why Jun gathered them here was because he planned to use this opportunity to completely eliminate the Labyrinth-Wurim.
Of course, the road will be very difficult.
Some of those who worked hard to gather will lose their precious lives in a foreign country.
Of course, we will do our best to prevent that from happening, but hoping that there would be no damage in the war was a vain hope.
“I will never forget your help. “I will definitely remember your faces and your names.”
So, as the person who called them to the battlefield, Jun should be given to them.
“No, not just me, history will remember you. As an honorable labyrinth conqueror!”
The reason they have to fight.
The reason why I won’t regret coming here even if I lose my life fighting.
Wow!!!
Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain.
The voices of people full of fighting spirit were the proof.
――――――
“Since you moved through space, there won’t be any fatigue, right? “If there are circumstances that prevent you from moving right away, please tell me now.”
A conference room where responsible people gathered.
In a place where powerful people such as the Chairman of Elance, the Pope of the Church, and the Sword Saint of the Empire gathered, Jun, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked around at them and asked that question.
And as he expected, no one had such circumstances.
“Then let’s start the strategy meeting. Diana, share the materials with people.”
“Yes.”
Diana, who was standing behind Jun as an adjutant, distributed the materials she was holding to the people.
Geomseong, Doseong, Buseong, and Changseong, who were shocked to see her like that, blurted out rude words without realizing it, which led to an imminent situation where Diana almost revealed her true nature for the first time in a long time, but fortunately the meeting was stopped. It didn’t happen.
“Quick resolution?”
“It means fighting as quickly as possible without prolonging the fight. In my opinion, this is also the motto of this siege.”
Jun explained the meaning to Nahiru, who tilted her head when she saw the idiom written in the title of the material, and then explained her plan to everyone.
“It looks grandiose because we prepared materials, but it’s just a show and there’s nothing special about it. I just use my space movement and the martial arts are swept away without any time to react. That’s all my plan.”
“What. There’s really nothing special.”
“But the effect is so tremendous that it makes you shiver.”
“Oh. “I have a lot of faith in it because it comes from an experienced person.”
Bu-seong scratched his head and cried out, Chang-seong snorted in response, and Do-seong laughed heartily and hit Chang-seong’s bones.
It goes without saying that even though he had reformed, Changseong still had strong pride and did not ignore Doseong’s words.
If Geomseong hadn’t stopped him quickly, a fight would have broken out.
It’s been so long since the meeting started that I’ve almost interrupted it twice.
The empire is secretly full of troublemakers.
Chuck!
“Cheonma, I have a question!”
As he was looking at the problem son with cold eyes, Nahiru raised his hand like a model student and asked for the right to speak.
It was obvious that he was trying to look cuter by using the problem child, but he still looked really cute because of his looks.
“Tch! Damn, think about your age. “What if an old woman 50 times older does something that a 6-year-old child wouldn’t do?”
“Oh my child, what makes you say that you’re so good?”
“Under? What am I “I have never been like anyone else when I was not worthy of my age.”
“That’s strange. An elf on a mission to Remum Muni said that when a priest came to the guild, she looked like a virgin who had met someone the guild leader had parted with a long time ago…”
“Ah! Ah! Shut up! It’s noisy!”
The guild leader, whose face turned bright red like a tomato once again, covered her ears with both hands and screamed.
It seems that she is also not worthy of her age.
By the way, he is a priest.
It seems that Leonard, who has shed all his burdens by capturing Frank, has finally visited the guild leader.
Although she was very curious about the story behind it, Jun struggled to keep her composure and continued the meeting.
“Chairman Nahiru, I’m sorry, but may I speak first? “I have doubts about the siege itself.”
Just as he was about to give Nahiru the right to speak, the Sword Saint asked Nahiru to yield.
Because the question was a question, Nahiru nodded his head willingly.
Sword Seong, who had been given the right to speak by Nahiru, asked Jun carefully.
“Cheonma, I understand your intention to close the labyrinth as soon as possible for the salvation of the world, but is there any reason to fight a siege at the risk of great damage? As far as I know, the strategy for conquering the Labyrinth-Murim is like a land grab, and land and castles are taken one by one through a competition called Yongbongjihoe. “Am I wrong?”
“No, you are right.”
“Then, as long as the Heavenly Demon is there, winning the competition is a given, and naturally, it’s only a matter of time before we take over all the castles and conquer the Labyrinth-Wurim, right? “I think it is unnecessary to fight a siege while suffering great damage.”
That was correct.
So much so that other people who were secretly having a snowball fight nodded their heads.
However, the words of the Sword Saint required one premise.
“Will the Yongbong Branch continue to be held? “I don’t think so.”
“Yes? What is that? Isn’t the Yongbong branch a competition held under the agreement of the gods? Would such a competition be stopped so easily?”
“Simply not. As you said, this is a competition that is being held under the agreement of the gods, so to unilaterally stop it, you will have to pay a large penalty.”
“But why…”
“Of course, because there is no future.”
If the Yongbong Branch continues like this, as Geomseong said, it was only a matter of time before the Labyrinth and Murim were conquered.
Even if God Wind uses dirty tricks like last time, the possibility of defeating Jun, who was able to use divine power through the Heavenly Demon Church, is close to zero.
Therefore, the god of martial arts will definitely stop Yongbongjihoe even if it means paying a big penalty.
And that too soon.
Currently, there are only 3 castles occupied by Elance.
At that level, even if there were no cheats such as space movement or divine power, it was possible to steal as much as possible through a siege.
Well, the damage suffered in the process will not be small.
‘But if you delay because you are afraid of the damage, more castles will be lost to Elance and the damage will naturally increase.’
Therefore, the god of martial arts will definitely stop Yongbongjihoe.
Wouldn’t Murim have heard the news by now and are preparing for a siege?
――――――
“What? Are we going to lose to barbarians from another world?”
“Don’t be ridiculous. There is no way our Murim and Joongwon can be defeated by a mere barbarian.”
“There must have been some reason why we lost at the Yongbong branch. “Nothing more than a barbarian.”
Unsurprisingly, Jun’s prediction was wrong by a long time.
Jun was looking down on him.
Damn neutral ideology.
