“It’s always safer to be on the safe side. I might as well be well informed about it.”
He was a Dark Gamer, and he could not simply relax and have fun. That was why he looked up information on the Travellers of the Wilderness.
— Travelers of the Wilderness Guild
A guild founded in the Armen Kingdom during the initial stages of Royal Road. It is known that they did not secure a special base in any Kingdom after establishment.As it is a guild made up of only a few people, the identity of its members and its exact numbers have not been confirmed.
This guild has not engaged in any wars, and have not shown any particularly notable activities.
Through occasional guild hunts, they have been seen defeating very strong boss monsters; this is a powerful guild that cannot be disregarded.
Reference detaiclass="underline" Though they are classified as having a friendly disposition, the guild members’ standard is very high.
— Reliability: Superior.
— Financial power: Estimated to be above average. Their fixed revenue has not been confirmed.
Seeing as there wasn’t any detailed information registered in even the Dark Gamer Union, it wasn’t a guild that had a lot of activities.
“Even so, it’s a relief that there isn’t any bad talk about it.”
Lee Hyun also entered the Dark Gamer request forum. Escort and hunting requests, as well as requests for fighting in active guild wars overflowed in the forum.
Although recruiting a Dark Gamer as a mercenary was extremely pricy, there was a considerable variety of advertisements.
Usually, he only came to understand the situation in the Versailles continent, or to look up information on a request, but today was special.
He’d come to make a request!
‘Do I really have to go this far for this…’
After being briefly conflicted, he started to write.
— Title: Submission of a Request for the Investigation of a Particular Person
— Required Mercenary Grade: B
— Professions: Assassins, Trackers, Thieves.
Information concerning Mandol and his wife in the city of Selchium in Ritten Kingdom is requested. Take more than three days to observe the appearance and nature of the target as well as information about the residence required.
— Payment is 5,000 gold.
Since I am also a Dark Gamer, I request this with a 20 % discounted price.
Food expenses are not included!
For a mercenary of grade B with a profession that could use concealment skills, the official request fee was 5,000 gold. At the last moment, he remembered to request the discount.
“Since it’s not a dangerous request, someone’ll probably take it if they can.”
He put up the mercenary rank and made the request impossible to read unless you were a Dark Gamer with the applicable profession.
Though this was something that would have cost them at least 4,000 gold, he wanted to do his best to sculpt Mandol and his wife’s daughter.
Although money is extremely important, it can be saved up again. So if he didn’t act honorably in this matter, he wouldn’t be able to do anything sincerely.
“I would rather go to the free sample corner to fill my belly, than to dine and dash at someone else’s restaurant.”
A lion does not deign to eat grass, no matter how hungry it is — Lee Hyun was of the same logic!
The Church of Resurrection that seized the Isoru Kingdom.
They set up a large scale construction in the Kingdom, and began to build temples for the Church of Resurrection.
The power of Resurrection and the strength of Daymond and his priests grew accordingly with each temple. The Demonic Spirits began to increase in vitality and vigor. And soon after the Resurrection Army became more and more powerful.
From that point on, every Church in the Versailles Continent was offered the same commission.
— Existences that drenched this land’s Northern region in blood have appeared. Stop them in their tracks.
In order to complete the simultaneously thrown down mission, Paladins and Priests united in the newly born Isoru Expeditionary Force!
“I will save my brethrens from Isoru Kingdom. It is my responsibility to do so.”
“It is a honor for a Knight to fight such a battle.”
The forces and guilds that dominated every castle joined in, with ulterior motives. They raised their armies, machinating to seize the abandoned, defenseless Isoru Kingdom, as soon as the Church of Resurrection was eradicated.
The number of troops willing to participate in the liberation of Isoru Kingdom was a whopping 90,000!
They invaded the Isoru Kingdom with high spirits, but a massive fortress that didn’t exist in the past blocked their way.
It was the fortress which Daymond forced the residents of Isoru Kingdom to make!
Reaching 30 meters in height, there were Archers arranged on the fort walls. The fortress was blessed by nature, as it was blocked by a penetrating gorge in the center of a mountainous terrain.
“Let’s bypass the fort.”
“No. If we bypass it and go around, it’d take too long.”
“There’s no reason to avoid it since we’re dragging along this many troops.”
Although the users that participated as mercenaries wanted to avoid it, the nobles and lords had different thoughts.
‘There is no way that an improvised fort has sturdy defences.’
‘They were probably scared of us. So for their own defense, they built such a big fortress.’
Generally, building a fortress required immense amounts of labor and money. That was because, even if it became the key point of fierce siege warfare, repairing the walls or maintaining the fortifications was difficult.
‘So that they built a large fortress is evidence that they are frightened of us?’
If Daymond’s army was confident of victory, they wouldn’t have even thought to create a fortress. The troops could only think along the lines of common sense.
“We must go in through the front.”
“For our righteous Expeditionary Force’s march, God will bless us.”
It was the General Assembly Chairman of the Expeditionary Force.
The Priests and representatives of every church, who were the army’s lead participating users, spoke what was obvious in their minds.
Truthfully, even the Expeditionary Forces behind them were quickly organizing themselves to follow. Since many had taken their armies from areas far away from the Isoru Kingdom to join the Expeditionary Force, they wanted to hurry. In consideration of the opinions of the lords and nobles, they decided to wage siege warfare on the fortress.
“Make a path.”
“Stock up on enough arrows and prepare to install a ladder. How far are you digging the underground tunnel?
The Expeditionary Force set up their positions, and they made thorough preparations to wage siege warfare. Though they didn’t doubt victory, their wariness of the Resurrection army that had seized Isoru Kingdom hadn’t disappeared either.
They were a valuable force that lead NPC soldiers as well. They didn’t want to lose soldiers they had laboriously trained through military exercises in this place. The stone fortress was very tall and looked thick, and it didn’t seem like it would be easy to penetrate it with normal methods.
As the Magicians buffed them and they made orderly war preparations. Time flew by until it night came, the dawn of the last day of the month, when the monsters became the most powerful!
The Resurrection Army that Daymond led made a surprise attack on the Expeditionary Force.
