Iron Matter. The Lord’s Mansion.
Visiting room.
Wheeing~
This is a place where cold wind blows in through the gaping holes in both walls.
The members of the Nightbringer were divided left and right, with the Lord of the Castle and Duke of Matter sitting on the chair between them.
There were those who wanted to kill and those who wanted to save.
“Certainly, Labo did not tell the lord what to do.”
Cain, on the killing side, opened his mouth coldly.
“But I didn’t tell you not to kill me. So, isn’t it okay to kill me?”
Oldman agreed vehemently from the side.
“Yes! I said to kill them all! Then I have to kill this one too! Are you guys discriminating against NPCs right now? Huh? If you’re going to kill them, you have to kill them all fairly!”
Oldman was a very egalitarian man.
“The situation is different for Seongju. We are currently invading this place without declaring war.”
On the other side, Rabbit from Saliza’s side calmly retorted.
“You might need it to transfer the family name. If you kill them rashly, you might get into trouble.”
In most cases, a siege is the norm after declaring war.
When a declaration of war is issued, there is a waiting period until war begins.
During this time, the Mercury forces deploy their troops, and users within the castle can join the siege or defense side.
Or take refuge.
The use of flying is prohibited in the area, and several artifacts installed by the Mercury side in advance function to assist the Mercury.
But the Nightbringer launched a surprise attack without even declaring war.
The Mercury side was completely unprepared, and the Nightbringer members took advantage of the gap and easily infiltrated the enemy lines.
However, if you make a surprise attack without declaring war like this, even though the siege itself may be advantageous, you will be given a huge penalty afterwards.
Once you are given a huge amount of notoriety, even if you successfully siege the city, you will not be able to properly govern it.
Because the city is under the ‘Desolation’ debuff and cannot function properly, NPCs become extremely dissatisfied with the new ruling power.
But Labo was after both notoriety and devastation, which is why he was willing to take the ambush.
“Hey, that’s enough! Ask the guild master! Where is Labo right now?!”
As Oldman squealed, Rabbit glanced at the oasis.
“Oasis has been whispering to me for a while now, but I can’t connect. Please wait a little longer.”
Oasis was whispering earnestly to Labo from the corner of the room.
“Master, Master! Please listen to me, I’m not in trouble here! Please, Master!”
But there was no response.
I thought about trying to talk to the capsule PC itself through its own communication, but I hesitated because I thought Labo might be concentrating on something important.
So I just whispered passively.
“Hey! I can’t stand it anymore!”
After waiting for Labo’s response for about five minutes, Oldman couldn’t wait any longer and pulled out his hammer again.
“If it’s really necessary, there will be a healer. Just revive him and that’s it! I’ll just kill him!”
“Heeeeeeeee!”
Duke Matter shivered with a pale face.
Beside him, Rabbit broke out in a cold sweat.
“Why on earth are you so anxious that you can’t kill me?”
“Haven’t you ever had a proper named enemy?”
Oldman growled.
“It was good that I got beaten up. But it was all just scraps… …!”
Let alone a strong opponent, it was rare to find an enemy with whom one could exchange more than two hits.
Although one-sided abuse was enjoyable, it was also boring.
I couldn’t shake the feeling of incomplete combustion.
That’s why you’re hanging around the lord’s neck. To get a medal for defeating the enemy general!
‘I can’t quite understand the minds of fighters… … .’
Rabbit shook his head.
“Hey, I don’t know! If there’s a problem, you can blame me later! I’ll just take care of it first!”
Oldman raised his hammer in a flash.
“The enemy general has been defeated!”
“Sura.”
Ding-!
Again Cain deflected the hammer away.
“You, you’ve been doing this since a while ago… …!”
Oldman glared fiercely,
“I told you, the enemy general’s head is mine.”
This time, Cain’s sword fell on Duke Matter.
Shhh-!
Chomp!
Oldman, who was caught between them like lightning, took the attack with his back.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The two men’s gazes met. Sparks flew in the air.
“Do you want to relive the early days of Season 1, Oldman?”

“Huh, you mean the battle at Kellisus Canyon? In the end, you lost, didn’t you?”
“I was pushed back by your subordinates, but your head was cut off afterward.”
“Aesong-ah, throwing your body and winning. That’s what a leader is. I won that day.”
Two villains, second only to none in notoriety, growled.
The bad blood between the two people was not that deep, so the accumulated rift seemed to be quite deep.
They looked ready to brandish their weapons at any moment.
“Isn’t it customary to give the enemy general’s head to the one with the highest merit? I am the best attacker in this guild, and today I subdued the enemy’s barracks, the source of their forces. I am qualified to do so.”
“Don’t make me laugh. The best attacker is obviously Jim! And today, Jim is at the forefront of the invasion and has taken control of the center of the city! Jim is qualified!”
Meow meow, meow meow.
Rabbit was looking at the two with a blank expression.
‘No… … Is it really worth fighting like this over the neck of the lord of such a small town… …?’
“It’s Jim’s!”
“Don’t make me laugh, it’s mine!”
That was when.
Push! Push-!
Suddenly, a sniper shot came flying through the gaping hole in the wall.
The volley of arrows shot out at incredible speed rushed straight towards Duke Matter.
“Heeeeeeek?!”
“Eeeeeeek!”
Duke Matter and Rabbit both screamed.
Tsuk-!
Kwakwang!
Cain quickly swung his sword and struck down the arrows, and Oldman deployed his shield to block the remaining arrows.
“what!”
“What kind of guy is this!”
When everyone looked at the source of the arrow, they saw Aggle King aiming a large crossbow on the roof of the building next door.
“Guys, who is the best attacker?”
Aggle King waved his arms in an exaggerated manner as if he were performing a play.
“It is the name we have longed for, shed tears for, and thirsted for for so many years… … .”
Soon he put his arm across his chest and spoke confidently.
“The best attacker is me, Aggle King, everyone-!”
Oldman screamed.
“Stop talking nonsense! What do you mean by the best attacker!”
“Ah, that’s enough. Get out. The enemy general’s kill is… … mine!”
Boom! Boom! Boom-!
The Aggle King fired arrows one after another.
When a max-level archer took a position and started firing one-sidedly, it was no different from firing a machine gun.
The mansion, struck by the explosive bolts, was reduced to tatters in an instant.
However, Cain and Oldman desperately defended Duke Matter by kicking him away with their swords and blocking him with their shields.
“The enemy general’s neck is… … .”
“It’s mine!”
BAM! KO-!
Rabbit and Oasis were now watching this hell from a distance.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Both of them were just waiting with haggard faces for this situation to end, when Oasis whispered to them.
“Oh, no way!”
Oasis was received in a hurry.
– Oasis? Sorry. I was so out of it that I didn’t even notice you whispering.
Tears welled up in Oasis’ eyes.
“Master! What are you doing that you aren’t answering my whisper?”
“Sorry, sorry. The battle is almost over, and the monster soldiers’ levels have risen considerably, so I was looking this way.”
Labo was managing the monster soldiers.
The soldiers were scattered in all directions with the mission of annihilation. The first task was to gather them in one place.
“But what’s going on? It’s so noisy… … What happened?”
– Hey, don’t be ridiculous! We just captured the lord, and now there’s chaos over who’s going to kill the enemy general…
“What? Phew… … Phewhahaha! I get it.”
Labo laughed cheerfully, but the situation on the Oasis side was not pleasant at all.
Kwakwang! Kwakwang!
They started fighting like they were going to kill each other.
– Please hurry up and clean up, Master. If this continues, something will really happen… … .
“Okay, okay, tell everyone to calm down. The lord’s life is in danger right now.”
Labo laughed and opened the ‘War’ tab.
“From now on, we will declare war after striking first, which is one of the most despicable acts in war.”
A declaration of war window appeared before Labo’s eyes.
Declaration of War: Do you declare war on the ‘Dukes of Matter’ who rule ‘Iron Matter’?
Labo pressed ‘Yes’ without hesitation.
‘Guild: Nightbringer’ declares war on the ‘Matter Dukes’ who rule ‘Iron Matter’!
“If you surrender to the lord quietly, I will spare your life.”
– Yes, yes!
Oasis spoke to everyone.
Duke Matter trembled and declared surrender as soon as he received the declaration of war.
The nuclear takeover process was also skipped, and the victory fanfare was immediately announced.
‘Iron Matter’ has been taken over by ‘Guild: Nightbringer’!
Guild members are granted access to Iron Matter and all surrounding facilities.
Occupation Safe Period: 29 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds
At the same time, an achievement was printed before Labo’s eyes.
Achievement – Cowardly War: Achieved!
> End of siege after surprise attack without declaration of war (1/1)
“Okay, okay.”
Labo smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the achievement and successful capture messages. Everything was as planned.
– Then, Master, can we send Duke Matter back like this?
Labo tilted his head at Oasis’ question.
“Huh? Why?”
– Uh… … Yes? But I’ll spare your life… … .
“Haha. Of course it’s a lie.”
“No problem,” Labo said calmly.
“Since we attacked here without declaring war, the NPCs here are extremely dissatisfied. If we keep the former lord alive, who could be the focal point, the probability of a rebellion event occurring increases.”
– … … .
“Kill him. Oh, you all were competing, right? Tell them that the fastest one wins.”
– yes yes…….
“Okay, then I’ll join you later.”
Stop.
Labo, who had stopped whispering, looked straight ahead.
Against the backdrop of a burning city.
In the desolate central square where nothing remained, a horde of monsters were kneeling and bowing their heads.
“I have done as you commanded.”
Skeleton Knight Dearan reported in a cold voice.
“Everything in sight has been killed and burned. The invasion has been a great success, my lord.”
A window appeared in front of Labo, indicating the results of the invasion.
Invasion Results
– 270 users killed
– Kill 572 NPCs
– 622 buildings destroyed
– 4 major facilities destroyed
> Notoriety earned: 1,374,520
‘1.37 million… …!’
We just finished off this small town, 1.37 million!
And that wasn’t all. This was purely the notoriety accumulated by the monsters.
First of all, the Infamy Guild is given 10% of the infamy earned by the guild members to the guild leader.
Guild Member Infamy Payback: 164,140
That 10 percent is 164 thousand.
Labo did not participate in any battles, meaning that the six of them caused 1.64 million worth of destruction.
It was more than the entire army of monsters combined.
In addition to this:
You fought a war without declaring war. As a penalty, you will receive infamy equal to the damage your city suffered.
> Penalty Notoriety: 3,015,920
Infamy 3 million!
If it were a normal guild, this penalty alone would be enough to blow them up. Users would come from all directions to claim the bounty.
Moreover, the city is in ruins and cannot even be properly repaired. If another guild invades in the next siege, it will most likely be taken over immediately.
Starting a war without a declaration of war had a huge penalty.
But for Labo, notoriety is power.
On the contrary, it becomes a merit.
‘Together, we’ve earned over 4.55 million notoriety today.’
Just a few hours ago, it had a notoriety of only about 300k, but suddenly the units have changed so much.
‘This is… … war.’
But, it’s still a long way off.
User ID: Labo
-Occupation: Demon King
-Character Lv: 100
-Item Lv: 1,100
… …
– Notoriety: 4,892,080
‘I need more, more… …!’
Even with the notoriety he already had, which was nearly 5 million, Labo was still not satisfied.
‘In order to burn down the world, more… …!’
