How to Survive as a Player Chapter 46

#46

After being surprised for a moment, Baek Do-hyeon and Kwak Jeong-han blocked Se-hyeon’s path. Yoon Je-ha also stood next to Se-hyeon with a solemn look, holding a hammer while his whole body was shaking.

“I think I’ve told you several times not to talk about the weakest person.”

“Then you should have made the first move.”

Se-hyeon answered indifferently as he approached Gap-jun Kim, who was sitting on the floor. When I wondered why he was dragged in so shakily, Kim Gap-Jun’s ankles were cut into tatters. It seemed like his Achilles tendon was cut to prevent him from escaping.

“It could happen… “There won’t be any, right?”

“Don’t you know it when you see it?! “Why did these bastards come here instead of escaping?”

“It seems like you have the power to speak out. “I heard you’ll die if you escape?”

“You are not worthy of death, you two. These people don’t know how precious their lives are, ugh! “My blood pressure!”

“Please be quiet. “I’m so weak that I can’t lift heavy things.”

“You talked nonsense and fell asleep! That’s it, run away quickly!”

“I don’t like it.”

“No, you two bastards.”

“They just call him a bastard. “What are you increasing again?”

Sehyun supported Gapjun Kim and lifted him up with a grunt. It was only after Yoon Je-ha came to his side and helped Kim Gap-jun that he was barely able to get up.

“I don’t know what I’m planning to do… Stop it and find your own way to survive. “Because you can’t kill that bastard anyway.”

It will be so. If Kim Gap-Jun dies, that’s the end of the village, so the Archduke will save Kim Gap-Jun no matter what happens. There was a possibility that he took refuge with Kim Gap-jun and re-established a village somewhere else, taking advantage of the opportunity while fighting the enemy.

“… Gapjun Kim. “I don’t need anything else, I just want to ask you one thing.”

“Ha, should we even name it now? Draw it, let’s see where it goes.”

“Do you want to live or die?”

Kim Gap-jun, who was slumping his shoulders as if resigned, looked up at Se-hyeon. Deep, black eyes slowly scanned the surroundings that had become a loon. From the Kural tribe chasing those who escape to the people sitting down, screaming and trembling. The gaze was finally turned to the Archduke.

“… I can’t let go until I kill that bastard. No, it doesn’t work.”

“Then that’s it.”

“You son of a bitch, take care of yourselves. “You don’t respect adults?!”

“I don’t know? Wish for what you wish for.”

Kim Gap-jun groaned and held the back of his neck at those words. In fact, he was not in a situation where he could afford to exchange nonsense. The Kural people had already begun to chase residents who had escaped and were leaving the village, and those who could not escape were being stabbed with axes or spears and were dying.

“For our people! For our empire!”

The Archduke’s booming voice rang majestically in the rain. The slaughter that began with the shouts of the Kural tribe was turning the surrounding area into a sea of ​​blood.

The quickest solution here was actually to kill the Archduke. However, killing the Archduke like Kim Gap-jun wanted was not a good idea. This was because of the penalty that accrued if the Archduke was ‘killed’.

‘Berserker’. When the Archduke was killed by someone else, his people went berserk with grief and anger, and at this time, all stats increased by more than 10 times. Therefore, during the Imperial War, the Archduke was targeted for capture, not killed.

So, the answer here is to run away.

“Mr. Kwak Jeong-han, you can go.”

At Se-hyeon’s words, Kwak Jeong-han, who had been enduring this situation with his fists clenched, jumped out with terrifying force. In a rainy situation, there was no one here who could beat Kwak Jeong-han, whose fishman characteristics were fully activated. Se-hyeon left Kim Gap-jun in the care of Yoon Je-ha and came forward and raised his bow.

“Brother, it’s dangerous. “Stay behind.”

“are you okay. “I’ll be right here.”

Lee Jae-young’s red, torn eyes blinked gloomily and then turned forward again. Right behind him, Sehyeon pulled his bowstring and aimed it at the Kural people who were abusing innocent citizens. The people they were abusing were residents who had not yet escaped.

“Baek Do-hyun, can you break through here?”

“I have to try it.”

“Are you okay, Jaeyoung?”

“Yes, just trust me.”

As soon as Sehyeon confirmed what the two people said, he fired an arrow at the nearby Kural tribe. The plan was to open a path with arrows and get out of here with as few sacrifices as possible.

“Go to where the portal is. “If we go to where Bilwil is, the Kural people will not be able to come in.”

“You’re not planning on going and saving all these people, are you?”

“I have no intention of going to get it. “But we just have to hope they follow us.”

Se-hyeon pulled the bowstring again and pierced the shin of the Kural tribe in the direction where Lee Jae-young and Baek Do-hyeon were heading. The Kural tribe, who was dragging a villager by his hair, fell over and screamed. The villagers who were freed from the clutches of the Kural tribe quickly rushed to Sehyeon’s group.

“Jeha, please ask for Kim Gapjun. “If you’re having a hard time, talk about it!”

“Oh, no! “I will support you well.”

“Ah, let’s go! “Gently support me!”

Baek Do-hyun and Lee Jae-young also took steps forward, matching Se-hyeon’s steps. In the distance, Kwak Jeong-han was stabbing the limbs of the Kural people who were harming people with a pitchfork, rendering them incapable of fighting.

I was worried about the Archduke who wasn’t moving behind me, but I didn’t have time to think for long. All he could think about was moving forward and saving the people in his path.

It was when I arrived at the entrance to the foggy village that I realized the true nature of that anxiety.

In front of him, Sehyun unintentionally had to stop and look at Kim Gapjun. Kim Gap-jun was also staring at the village entrance with his mouth open, as if in bewilderment. Sehyun asked a very kind question to Kim Gap-jun on behalf of everyone who was frozen.

“Kim Gap-jun, did you hand over the authority to summon a vassal to the Grand Duke?”

Kim Gap-jun closed his mouth and rolled his eyes as he smiled to the point of being scary. However, he soon shouted at Sehyeon.

“Well, I couldn’t help it! It must have been the 6th time we lost, we passed it then, but who knew that it would last forever! Oh, that’s why I can’t cancel!”

“Oh, yes. Well done. “The system would have even kindly warned us not to pass it up, and I respect that.”

The conclusion was that the authority to summon vassals was handed over to the Grand Duke. For example, at the entrance to the village, dozens of Kural people were staring at Se-hyeon with their eyes wide open and their weapons in hand. There was only one way to explain that many people.

The Grand Duke opened the dimensional gate and increased the number of residents.

In short, Sehyun’s group was currently surrounded by dozens of people. It wasn’t a number you could do anything about. No matter what happened, it was clear that everyone would be injured.

Unfortunately, Sehyun currently had many people to protect. Jeha Yoon and Gapjun Kim. And even the trembling residents who suffered damage and clung to Sehyeon. It was a situation where I couldn’t step forward hastily.

Chabak-

I heard footsteps approaching in the muddy water behind me. Even without looking, everyone knew it was the Archduke.

“If you obey me, I will spare the lives of everyone here. “I also don’t want any more damage than this.”

The Archduke’s words came from behind me. Sehyeon looked at the people who had been injured while escaping and were lying around. Those who escaped and the residents who still remained. In total, there were only about thirty people. The rest would already be dead. In comparison, the Kural tribe numbered over eighty.

It was caught that there were no corpses of the escapees, but in Elix as well, the bodies disappeared when you died, so it was highly likely that the road players did the same.

“brother… “I can fight.”

Se-hyeon gently smoothed the wet hair of Jae-young Lee, who was looking up at me anxiously, and smiled as if telling him not to worry. Everyone left the choice on this matter to Sehyun. Amid anxious gazes, Sehyeon turned his body to face his archduke. The Archduke was making a suggestion. To prevent further losses than this.

Sehyeon decided to respond.

“To those here… “If you promise not to cause any more harm than this.”

“… Lock these people up with the king.”

As soon as the archduke’s pitch-black eyes closed, a quiet command was issued. Actually, it wasn’t quiet. To the sound of rain falling, people’s breathing became rough due to groans and tension coming from all over the place. Nevertheless, those words clearly reached people’s ears.

Following the Grand Duke’s order, the Kural people began to move busily. Sehyeon looked at that and took out something from his inventory and held it in his hand. And he took it in his hand and pressed it for 10 seconds without anyone noticing.

After confirming that the object had begun to move with a shallow vibration, Sehyun silently placed it back in his inventory.

The misty rain wet my cheeks coldly. The unstoppable rain seemed to be reprimanding. Sehyun’s eyes closed bitterly. It was the last resort he didn’t want to use. It was something I hoped I would never have to use because I felt like I didn’t even deserve it. Nevertheless, it was the last lifeline I brought with me.

The last thing I remember in the pouring rain was the Kural tribesmen surrounding me and their hands reaching out to the people.

One day ahead. Everything had to be resolved within that.
