79. 3 months pass

3 months passed.
“Clear the road to the city gate! Somehow, just make your way to the castle gate!”
On the battlefield full of metal sounds and ruptures, the General of the Alliance raised his voice and shouted.
Soon the road was cleared, and between the escort apostles, the soldier bowed his head to the man on the horse.
“Apostle. It is your turn to step out.”
“Do-yoon.”
Leona, who was among the escort apostles, called out to him, and the man nodded and got off his horse.
As Doyoon stepped forward, as if Moses’ miracle had happened, the ranks of the troops spread out to the left and right.
In front of his eyes, only B-3. Only the gates of fortresses built by the Union long ago, or fortresses that were passed over to the Demon King’s army as the front line was pushed back.
“Apostle Doyoon Han is stepping out!!”
“Waaaa-!!”
Being able to witness his majesty, which had only been heard in words, on the same battlefield, the soldiers shouted excitedly. The morale of the allies soared as if they would pierce the sky.
The sight of the soldiers on both sides wielding spears and blocking the entry of the demon army was like a red carpet on the battlefield only for Doyoon.
Doyun’s dragon heart was burning fiercely, and his legs were filled with mana.
Then he lets go.
Pan-!
The beriberi bursting out of the soles of his feet pushed his body away, and Doyoon’s new type rushed in unbelievably fast for a level 4 agility.
After training, it was [Barracuda: Dog – Jet Propulsion] that had now reached level 3.
Pan-! Pan-! Pan-!
Every time he stepped, the dirt floor exploded and accelerated, and his stride widened.
His reflection in the eyes of the soldiers was as if he was folding the ground and ironing it.
“Sir, fuck! that kid! Stop it!!”
Before the screaming shouts of the commander of the Demon King’s Army were over.
‘Paewangsinjang (霸王神掌).’
Doyun’s palm touched the castle gate.
Wow-!
With an earthquake-like shockwave that shook the ground, fragments of the gate were scattered into the fortress.
[The skill ‘King of the King’ has been leveled up. Current Level: 3]
“The apostle has broken down the city gates! Get inside!!
“Waa-!!”
The confidence shown by Do-yoon raised the morale of the allies without knowing how high it was, and the only way left for the fortress with the gates collapsed was desperate surrender.
Amidst the soldiers rushing into the fortress, Doyoon trudged along.
+++
The fortress fell, and the Coalition again moved part of the front north.
“Good job, human siege weapon.”
“…Don’t call me that.”
Leona called Doyun by his nickname, which he hated, and sneered. She smiled and tapped Doyoon on the shoulder as he completed his mission.
After that, Doyoon did not step forward. He was escorted by the rear apostles and focused on protecting himself.
In the meantime, Doyoon compromised between Dokgo Moo-young’s words and his own convictions, and focused on surviving as a single siege weapon on the battlefield.
Siege warfare is a tedious and inefficient warfare that requires a foresight of weeks at the shortest, or even years at the longest.
However, Doyun ended such siege warfare in just one day, and made a remarkable contribution to raising the front line that had been sluggish for decades.
‘That’s really six months old…’
Leona looked at his back with complicated eyes.
Despite not revealing his identity, it was Do-yoon who was exerting much more influence than the six-month-old boss monster killers that had already existed.
He, who was a new member of the team just five months ago, has now become the team’s strongest player in name and reality, and a key figure in the alliance.
She, too, was benefiting greatly from Doyoon.
However, Leona, who had started to have a crush on him from some time ago, felt confused when she saw Do-yoon growing at such a speed that she did not even dare to catch up.
Even now during the retreat, Doyoon was suffering surrounded by various people.
“Apostle Doyoon Han, congratulations on the capture of Fort B-3! With this case, the map will change once again.”
“I did not do this alone.”
“hahahaha! No matter what, you always will.”
“Apostle Doyoon Han. I heard that the apostle enjoys wine. I have a rouge volnic edition of the Cabernet Sauvignon brand! How, let’s go back and celebrate…”
“……I’m sorry, but I’ll decline.”
“Apostle. I hope that General Lüveln will meet with the apostle…”
High-ranking apostles from guilds with potential in each country, and knights worth a thousand in Muspelheim waggled their tails at Do-yoon.
They were anxious to make a connection somehow with the human siege weapon Han Do-yoon, the hottest potato in the recent alliance.
Originally, it wasn’t this blatant, but recently, a rumor circulated on the continent, and the already high ransom price of Do-yun was secretly soaring.
‘Really… is this the boss monster killer?’
‘It’s worth going down. I have to make a kite somehow!’
Within two years, rumors had been circulating that a boss monster killer had been released.
It is still valuable information that only those in the know know, and who it is is not very specific.
However, among several promising players, Sado Han Do-yoon was being discussed as a potential boss monster killer despite being the last jockey.
Because of this, the people around him became hotter as time passed and clung to Doyoon.
However, Doyoon has always cared about war, growth, and points without any interest in wealth and honor.
Do-yoon always responded appropriately to these people.
He mechanically moved his mouth and checked his status window.

Doyun recently felt that his growth had stagnated.
‘Skills and stats don’t even rise from level 4.’
Certainly, hiding from the battlefield was counterproductive.
Of course, this alone was a tremendous growth rate by other standards. Who the hell would believe that this status window is from the 6th month?
However, he did not take up the surname of Han Do-yoon, who was once the strongest on the continent, Enoch Roosevolnik.
‘…no. Let’s not be impatient.’
Doyoon shook his head, giving up his recent habit of checking the status window.
this is the right way No matter how fast you grow, what’s the point if you die?
There is no return now. You must save your life.
Do-yoon took a deep breath, repeating the story he shared with Dok-go Moo-yeong three months ago.

Leona’s team went into the guild’s personal safe.
“yes? who?”
By the way, there was a face I didn’t know at all at the counter seat.
“Ah, hello…! The former manager retired last week and is a new member. Take good care of me!”
“ah…! He’s retired… Yes, please take care of me!”
Leona greeted the personal vault manager cheerfully.
Each team member inserted the guild seal into the recognizer, and finally Doyoon inserted the seal.
“Ah, Apostle Handoyun? There are changes to personal safes. Shall I pull out the statement?”
“no. Just say it verbally.”
“yes. Let’s see, Sado… Han Do-yoon…”
She tapped the keyboard and the crystal ball fluctuated. Then he said in amazement at the change in the top row.
“Wow, whoa…! It looks like you’ve made a huge achievement lately…! Only the most recent deposit is 200 gold coins…! I am the first to settle such a large amount…!”
At her reaction, Leo and the team members laughed as if they were cute.
Certainly, 200 gold coins was an enormous sum of money that would be difficult for an ordinary apostle to touch even after working for decades.
‘The previous person in charge also reacted like that when he handled Doyoon’s safe in the beginning.’
Of course, after a while, I calmly disposed of hundreds of gold coins, as if it were a daily routine.
“Are you a high-ranking apostle? You are so cool…! Oh, wait a minute!”
I tapped the keyboard again to reflect the change. Soon, a confirmation came out from the printer, and the person in charge read it.
“200 gold coins were deposited from the military department of Muspelheim as a governor, and 10 gold coins from Guild Amaterasu for transportation expenses…? transportation cost? Uh, and 30 gold coins as a reward from Guild Squares, so the existing assets are 345… Huh?”
Sophie and Zillain giggled, covering their mouths.
“Uh… one, ten, a hundred… a thousand… uh… don’t…?”
She read it again, greatly perplexed.
Then, doubting his own eyes, he knocked on the keyboard to double check.
However, the amount of the re-drawn confirmation was the same.
“This, this, this…”
[Apostle Doyoon Han’s personal safe]
.
.
.
[Cash on hand: 34,500 gold coins and 540 silver coins]
Stunned by the amount, she soon realized that something was wrong and her face turned to contemplation.
This was never money in a personal safe. It must have been linked incorrectly with the World Tree Guild Corporate Vault.
It was a huge mistake that could ruin both the manager himself and the guild with vulgar words.
The manager’s hands trembled.
‘Ah, no… but did I have permission to access such an important safe? Was this an important position? Why, why me? Am I a newbie?’
Eventually, she started to weep.
“Uh, uh… now, wait… wait… wait, please…”
The hand typing on the keyboard kept making typos. Why did this happen less than a week after joining the company? Why are you giving me this permission? It was scary.
‘Mom…’
she wanted to go home
“Sin, sorry! It looks like an administrative error has occurred, please take a moment to check…”
“That’s my safe.”
“yes?”
The women on the team laughed back as if they were cute, and only Do-yoon let out a small sigh with a look of embarrassment.
