Episode 140-EJ(10)
It was going to explode someday. Not only those who were watching but most of the residents who experienced it also thought that way.
They have been running non-stop and are continuing to expand their territory and increase their population at this very moment.
The speed is incomparable to just a few months ago.
They developed in that way and overcame bug invasions and wars with surrounding forces, but their enemies did not only exist in reality.
As their radius of activity expanded and their presence grew, enemies continued to appear.
“There are hunters wary of us?”
“That’s right. “I also heard this by chance.”
Before something happens. Riena, who was doing maintenance alone because Junyoung didn’t call her, had already received word from one of the hunters she was talking to.
Based on the knowledge passed down from senior hunters, including Naru and Dune, a local force appeared to keep the hunters in check, catching mutants.
It was said that their intentions were clear, as they started fights without reason, did not hide their hostility, and tried to steal their prey.
“Why on earth? As far as I know, hunters are people who work together to catch monsters called mutants…”
“That’s true, but in the end, you make money by catching game, right? Besides, it looks like our hunters are very skilled.”
The hunter nodded at Riena’s question. In fact, the Arin hunters were very skilled. They dispatched former warriors who had awakened their skills and had even changed jobs as hunters, so compared to existing hunters, they had actual combat experience and were stronger.
Therefore, competition is impossible, and since competition is impossible, some hunters who saw the Arin hunters had uneasy hearts.
“Do you have a plan to respond?”
“Since he did not step forward, we decided to report to the warchief and adjust the hunting a little. “We’ve been competing with each other lately, and it seems like it’s gotten a little overheated.”
When Liena asked if there was a solution, the hunter scratched his head and answered.
First of all, the method chosen is a slightly moderate method.
There was no problem anyway because hunting was meant to increase the skills of hunters and it was really about buying or selling equipment.
This was just three days before the problem occurred.
It was a trivial thing that he didn’t even notice because he was busy looking at many things at the same time, both on screen and in reality.
“These treacherous bastards. “They attacked me openly when I was alone.”
“In the end, a line was crossed. “It may be a trivial dispute, but this is an attack to kill.”
When a hunter who was injured in an enemy attack barely made it out to the village alive.
Those gathered around Varun ground their teeth in anger. Riena, who had already heard the story, also had a stiff face.
“So everyone, keep that in mind. What our true purpose is. The days of simply struggling to survive are over. “We are people with a great mission.”
Varun spoke in a serious voice to the residents, including Riena. their purpose. It’s definitely a complete change from when I lived worrying about food and invasion every day.
“In many places, we are still steadily moving forward. Proper castles and houses, expanding farmlands, warriors becoming stronger…all of this is working with Him to realize His will. And that includes punishing those who dare stand in our way. They fought against numerous monsters and defeated tens of thousands of marauders. They even negotiated on equal terms with kingdoms beyond the Wall, something that had never been dreamed of in the past. In the future, it will further unify this grassland and become a kingdom that stands shoulder to shoulder with its surroundings. “Maybe you can see more than that.”
“But Warchief. Do you still not know His will? That world is a place that can only be entered with His grace. “What if He doesn’t want revenge?”
Some people were worried about Varun’s words as he talked about his achievements so far. It was a reasonable concern. In any case, the most important thing to them was his will to grant them a miracle.
“Then you should follow it. “I’m sure you all have your own thoughts.”
Varun answered clearly. And there was no need to worry. When he found out about this, he naturally took the Holy Knights to punish him.
This was the starting point for the Holy Knights of the Arin tribe, who protect their people and unconditionally punish those who oppose them, to gain enormous notoriety both in reality and in games.
“Hans! Is it really okay to be this carefree?! “In the beginning, I just decided to scare them, but I really didn’t want to kill them…”
“Shut up. Anyway, thanks to that, they probably knew the topic too. “Even if I tried to explain it, it was too complicated.”
The moment he brought the angry paladins here for revenge.
Hans, a member of the Scorpion Corps, a group of hunters who were hostile to the Arin hunters, became angry at his colleagues who were still anxious while tracking down their prey.
“They were the ones who disrupted order in the first place. “From the beginning, everyone was dissatisfied with these guys who didn’t know where they came from, acting shamelessly as if they could do anything and monopolizing the prey.”
Hans grunted as he grabbed the great sword he was holding.
As he said, it is true that there has been a lot of game hunted by Arin hunters since they came. But in the end, it was the achievement of those who won in fair competition.
Because when they caught one, they used their more skill to catch two or three.
In the end, there were people who supported their actions because it was a fight over food, but there were also many who were reluctant that this incident would lead to a fight between hunters.
“The leader also knew the truth, but didn’t say anything. So, you too, stop it, Paul.”
Hans, who was heading towards his colleagues gathered in the vacant lot in front of him, tapped his colleague on the shoulder, mentioning the leader who had taken his side.
Since the leader, the leader, had agreed to this, Paul couldn’t argue with it any further.
“Now that we’re all here, let’s go back. The harvest is good. “Maybe it’s because ‘those guys’ disappeared.”
“I don’t mind coming back. “Now you know the topic.”
The leader, who was tall and had a shiny bald head, chuckled as he looked at the harvest piled up in his cart. It was true that from the moment Arin hunters stopped hunting, their share increased.
“uh?”
However, when I was pulling the cart and heading to the village.
They could see the thick smoke rising up the road coming towards this place.
The leader scratched his head. The archer’s excellent eyesight showed who was riding toward them on horseback at full speed.
“Um, those guys can’t believe it…!”
Unlike hunters who wore equipment made from mutant by-products, they wore flashy, shiny silver armor, but their appearance, which was rare in this area, was familiar.
“It’s them!”
Hans, shocked, instinctively cried out.
In fact, they were running straight ahead without stopping even after seeing the Scorpions. There seemed to be no intention of slowing down, so the will to fight was clear.
“Oh, stop it. Stop it!”
“Shoot the arrow!”
Following the commander’s orders, they quickly prepared to fight. Those who were in a hurry to shoot arrows did so while the rest hurriedly picked up their weapons.
But they were hunters, not soldiers.
Although they were experienced at fighting giant monsters, fighting against the same people was impossible to compare with the Arryn Paladins who had fought the war until just before.
The arrows they shot were all blocked by the sword, spear, and magic shield they swung.
Now, the earth-shaking horse’s hoof has arrived right around the corner.
“Sleep, wait! sleep…”
The leader shouted in shock at the sight of the cavalry charging towards them without hesitation, but the already enraged Holy Knights only blinked and ignored them.
What the leader, who managed to avoid Riena’s sword by rolling over, saw was a huge hammer wielded by a raccoon jumping into the air.
***
“I can’t believe you get to do PVP in this game.”
My face was frozen as I muttered. This is because the opponent who was hit by my character’s attack turned into a blood clot and flew away.
The feeling of hitting was completely different from when dealing with monsters.
It was more similar to Dark Blood. Because I had a lot of experience fighting with people there.
“You bastard…!”
There were guys that attacked me right away. I quickly dodged the attack by pressing down and rolling, then got up and struck with a large horizontal attack, breaking their leg bones.
I guess I have a talent for this game. Battles with skilled hunters were not that difficult.
“—! —!”
However, even my character, who moved so splendidly, was thought to be weak compared to the paladins who attacked together.
Riena’s slash, which cuts through the trees and ground around her, is powerful enough to be used in any world. The same goes for others.
All Paladins are elite soldiers among the elite soldiers, chosen after passing harsh trials among the Arin warriors.
No matter what world or what enemy they face, they are the ones who can protect their allies and punish their enemies.
There is no way that extra NPCs who do not even appear in the story can win. The fierce battle itself ended in less than a minute.
The paladins turned around on horseback, and all the dozen Scorpion hunters who were resisting were swept away by the wave, rolling on the ground and groaning.
“Lord, the instigator. Who are you talking about? “Absolutely not!”
The leader of the Scorpions, who had been hit by my attack and had turned into a nightgold, hurriedly looked around, dangling his broken front tooth.
As a result, a young man with a pale face was dragged and thrown to the floor.
There was no such thing as loyalty when life was at stake.
‘Should I execute him or not? ‘I have to do it.’
I smiled weakly when I saw the options that came to mind.
If it is the residents’ duty to fight bugs, it is my duty to protect and grow them.

In such a situation, if I don’t make a bold decision, they will have no choice but to doubt and waver even if they make the right decision.
It’s true that it’s a burden, but you have to do it when you have to do it. Like the residents, I have changed a lot compared to the past.
“Oh, no! not…”
I moved the character myself. Actually, it is not a big deal from my perspective. All you have to do is move the mouse and keyboard to manipulate the character on the screen.
I saw my opponent screaming on the screen as he saw my hammer coming down, but I gritted my teeth and pressed the attack key.
[Achievement Completed: Judgment (1)]
At the same time, an unthinkable achievement was achieved.
It was an achievement that showed me what they perceived as what I had just done, as they all got down on one knee towards me.
‘Things like this happen often.’
Intuitively, I had a feeling that this would happen often in the future. Because playing in the game world is for the good of all of us, we can never give up.
The natural goal was to get along as well as possible, but if the other person is not willing to do that, there is only one way.
Whenever that happens, I and the Holy Knights will act without mercy.
