00923 A Poisoned Chalice, Two. ————————————————– ———————-=
“brother?”
“Clan Lord?”
When I suddenly stopped, I felt the clan members following me hesitate. Then, the area behind me suddenly became chaotic, and I heard the sound of a sword being drawn or a spell being chanted. They seem to think that perhaps a monster has appeared somewhere.
“Is there a problem?”
As the tension suddenly soared, someone quietly approached and asked. It was Shin Jae-ryong’s voice.
I said nothing and pointed forward with my finger. Then, he slowly and lazily lifted his index finger toward the sky.
All that can be seen is thick flowing smoke and a cloudy sky painted in dull colors.
however.
“sky? I can’t see anything… . huh?”
“uh? Did something sparkle just now? “In the air.”
There were definitely other things that existed.
“It feels like something is unfolding… . Like a transparent curtain… .”
Cha So-rim came closest to the correct answer.
It was still a bit blurry because there was a considerable distance away, but at least I could see it clearly. No, I felt it. Even if you turn your eyes all the way to the left and right, it is a curtain so vast and transparent that you cannot fathom it.
That is to say.
It has finally arrived.
At the moment I thought that, without realizing it, I was announcing the resumption of the march. And while I was walking at a fast pace, I finally realized one thing. It was none other than the Mercenary Expedition that left the valley area at some point. And now… .
After a while.
Before long, we neared our target area and stopped marching. To be more specific, it would be accurate to say that further advance is impossible.
The expedition team was also in an uproar. This is because the closer I got, the more the powder sparkling softly in the air became clearer, until I hit an invisible wall and couldn’t go any further. No matter how much I pushed and kicked, the intangible barrier did not budge like a thick iron wall.
After the long commotion, the clan members gathered together and began to look into the tent.
“Whoa, it’s amazing… .”
Ansol was rubbing his face gently.
“Hey, if I take a little bit of this and use it for a pantomime, I could make some money, right?”
Jin Su-hyeon made various gestures with both hands and giggled to himself.
“… … .”
And I stared straight ahead, feeling lost.
How should I express it? At first glance, it seems like there’s nothing wrong with the fog, which is still vague, but if you look closely, you can find some discrepancies.
It’s like looking at a scene in a broken mirror, or like looking at the world reflected in water. Beyond the border that seems to be reachable if you just stretch out your hand, there is a subtle gap with this world. I didn’t notice it when I saw it from afar, but when I looked at it up close, I could clearly see the unbalanced atmosphere. It was the same as what I had seen in the past.
pop!
At that time, a small explosion suddenly exploded nearby. When I glanced over, I saw Hanbyul Kim taking a couple of steps back with a frown on his face.
“Nonsense. Even though I used premium jewels, there were no scratches… ?”
Then he patted his hand and looked at me.
“brother. What are you going to do now? It seems difficult to break… . “Shouldn’t we at least go back in the other direction?”
The moment I heard those words, my mind suddenly became clearer.
Okay, we’ve only just arrived at the outskirts. This is not the time to be lost like this.
I slapped myself and shook my head vigorously in an attempt to come to my senses. Then, as she calmly took a breath, Kim Han-byeol was looking at her with a shocked expression. I slowly lifted my feet, looking at the clan members who were still staring blankly.
thud.
And when I lightly hit the ground, everyone looked at me in surprise.
“The march will stop here.”
When we declared the end of the march, everyone’s eyes widened. But he had nothing to say, he continued.
“Shin Jae-ryong.”
“yes.”
“I will build a fortress around here.”
“You mean here?”
“The materials and building materials will be managed by the New Koran Association. “Please build it as wide as possible, so that it can accommodate 10,000 people at the most.”
“All right.”
Was the order too sudden? Shin Jae-ryong tilted his head, but he turned around without saying anything.
“Good performance.”
“yes?”
“Assemble your archers and assassins. “While constructing the fortress, we will have to be on high alert on all sides.”
“hmm… . But the fog was so thick… .”
Although he spoke slightly, he didn’t say no. Go Yeon-ju quickly disappeared somewhere, taking Seon Yu-un with her.
“Source.”
“… … .”
“Please work hard one more time.”
“Accept.”
Geunwon put on his purple cone hat and started walking, looking around. Since it has already activated the warp gate several times, it seems to be looking for a wide area on its own.
“Jeong Ha-yeon.”
“Can I spread the situation to the center and rear?”
Jeong Ha-yeon was already taking out the communication bead. It’s not wrong, but there’s one more thing that needs to be said.
“yes. Then wait for the source to activate the warp gate and send a message to Istantel Row, the Northern Alliance, and Clan Hamill.”
“yes? ah! Come to think of it… .”
“We decided that the main force from each expedition would come over as soon as we finished our advance. “This has already been discussed, so you just need to briefly convey the situation.”
“yes. “I think I heard it at first glance, but I forgot.”
Build forts, create perimeters, activate warp gates, and even communicate the situation.
By the time Jeong Ha-yeon nodded as if she understood, the remaining clan members seemed to have come to their senses one by one. I was momentarily distracted by the strange phenomenon I saw for the first time, but from now on I really have to stay alert.

What we need to do is not just to attack the legal area in front of us.
What we have to deal with isn’t just monsters that appear from time to time.
The greatest enemy still remains.
Currently, the devil is not visible, but the fog is so thick that it is impossible to make a hasty conclusion. Or, it could arrive here a few days later, or it could be on the other side at this very moment, or it is very possible that it arrived ahead of us and is lurking, waiting for an opportunity.
Even a moment of inattention is not tolerated.
After a while, feeling the clan members scattering and the commotion behind me, I took out a piece of tobacco and asked. And then I looked straight ahead again.
Legal area.
It arrived more smoothly than expected.
However, discovery is not the end.
Rather, it was just the beginning.
*
The sun, which was hanging in the sky when the march stopped, was slowly setting towards the west as time passed.
While most of the users were on guard and scouting the nearby area, the construction of the fortress began to make little progress. At best, it’s just a matter of finding a site or putting up a temporary fence, but it’s one less thing to worry about. This is because, starting an hour ago, the main force of the other expedition team succeeded in crossing over safely.
Accordingly, the number of people increased from 4,500 to more than 10,000 at once. With this much force, even if the enemy attacks, they will be able to hold out long enough until reinforcements arrive.
With this, ‘four supply forts will be built, and passages between forts will be connected through warp gates.’ It is safe to say that the primary goal has been achieved. In other words, ‘there is a high possibility of being attacked while clearing the road,’ which was considered a major weakness of this plan. The danger has disappeared.
Meanwhile, the clan lords who came over after hearing the news were ‘blocked by an invisible wall.’ After seeing this strange situation for themselves, everyone had the same reaction. It may be confusing as it is a phenomenon that you have never experienced before.
Afterwards, they gathered in a temporarily installed barracks and argued, but in reality, it was all just empty speculation and empty speculation.
“Is there anything that won’t work? “If you keep pounding on it, it will break someday.”
“That’s the problem with Gong Chan-ho. Why does he always try to solve problems by force? Let’s use our heads, our heads.”
Seonyul patted his temple and scolded him, but Gong Chan-ho was right this time.
There is only one way to break the law. It may take some time, but there is no choice but to steadily and gradually inflict damage from the outside. If there had been a more efficient way to remove that wall, I wouldn’t have gone through that trouble in the first round. Is Hwajeong the only thing worth looking forward to?
It was then. In the midst of the Miju Algojual conversation, a man suddenly said, “I have something to report to you!” They shouted and stormed in. She reported that she had been walking along the perimeter of a blocked-off section of the road and found a strange place.
The atmosphere was already heated by heated discussions. As soon as the man finished speaking, all the clan lords stood up at the same time and rushed out.
Except one person.
“Fuyu, we can talk now.”
My brother looked around the empty barracks and stretched. He was the first to come through the warp gate as soon as it opened, and it seemed like he wanted to talk to me about something.
The moment I thought that, my brother spoke up.
“hmm… . “I’m worried.”
“huh?”
“The devil. Actually, I thought we’d meet up around here. … “I thought it was too quiet.”
“… … .”
“Soohyun, what do you think? “What kind of trick do you think they will pull?”
“well.”
I shrugged my shoulders. It meant I wasn’t sure.
Of course, I fully empathize with my brother’s concerns.
It took two months to return from the mission on the East Continent, about a month to maintain and prepare for various things, and another two months to arrive here.
A total of five months passed. Time basically flows equally, so there is enough time for either party to achieve something.
More than anything, I was concerned about Satan. At that time, the dark red smoke flowing out of Thanatos’ body kept bothering me. At the time, I was so preoccupied with the chase that I just passed it over, but when I thought about it carefully, I realized that the smoke was very similar to the image of Satan. In fact, Thanatos called Satan.
If my guess is correct, what plan did Satan have for 115 days?
When I looked at my brother out of curiosity, he smiled bitterly and scratched his head.
“Well, I don’t know, but I can’t help it. Now that I’ve taken all the methods I can… . “Anyway, how are you feeling?”
“?”
“You’ve come this far. “How does it feel to be nearing the end?”
“Hehe.”
I asked what he was talking about. I laughed bitterly. And I opened my mouth with honest feelings.
“It’s vague. “I feel at a loss.”
“Is it vague and vague?”
“Didn’t they tell you on the eastern continent? “What a shitty place it is in there.”
“Suhyeon? speech.”
“sorry. Anyway, you’ll know when you see it. “It might be a good idea to prepare your mind well in advance.”
“… “Is it that hard?”
My brother seemed a little distrustful, but without even lying, it wasn’t difficult.
Even if the process of getting here was relatively smooth, the process of breaking the law becomes extremely tedious. It doesn’t have an HP indicator and you never know when it might break.
However, from the moment you enter the sanctuary, you will see more than what you imagined. After attacking 18 times with 10,000 elite users, we finally reached the front of the Temple of Promise. Are you not getting any sense from these words? Moreover, the level of users on the North Continent during the first round was much higher than it is now.
“well. “Compared to the inner zone, the war on the eastern continent would be nothing more than a child’s play.”
“what?”
“no. “Maybe you think the war was paradise.”
“her… . Since you said that, I’m really curious. Should we go there too?”
I thought the surprised reaction was funny, so I exaggerated it a bit, and my brother quickly got up. I followed suit and stood up, but I wasn’t really looking forward to it.
“I don’t mind going, but it won’t be a big deal. “Just a large altar and a tombstone with strange writings?”
“What does it say?”
“I don’t know. One king and four queens… ? What else did they say? If you have qualifications, the path opens naturally? Anyway, yeah. “It’s a useless record.”
“Still, let’s go. The past and the present are different, but there’s no law that says something shouldn’t change, right? “Maybe you might discover something you couldn’t find in the first round.”
under. Wouldn’t it be great if I did as my brother said?
In fact, if you calculate without the legal area or zone, the Temple of Promise is purely five or six hours away. Then, in six hours at the latest, I will be the second person in the history of the hole plane to hold the zero code. At the same time, fifteen years of suffering will end.
… Well, that won’t happen at all.

her… .
haha… .
Hehehe… .
Hehehehe… .
I was surprised to see the comments yesterday.
How did I end up like this?
It was truly a day where I couldn’t help but lament the current reality.
after… .
Third Lori War.
yes. Good.
But is it really because I want to go to war with my readers?!
How is it that you still don’t understand what I mean?
Dear readers.
If you really want war, I will not avoid it.
But first, let’s resolve this issue through dialogue.
I’ll be honest with you first.
It’s a bittersweet story, and it’s coming to an end soon.
Before it’s finished, I’d like to get rid of the ridiculous labels like Royumi, Royu Jinmi, Ungnyeo, etc.
I’m serious. And please.
Please help me just this once. _(__)_
I trust my readers.
No, I believe you will live up to my expectations. 🙂
