– Ah, Mr. Labo.
As soon as Labo connected to Wings, he received a whisper.
It was a doctor.
– Have you heard the news?
“What news, Doctor?”
– It is said that a huge guild alliance is being formed to deal with outlaws in the New World.
“Hoo.”
The point where Labo connected was the Dark Cult base in Undertown.
Labo immediately headed to the temple, the headquarters of the Dark Cult, through the portal installed in the base.
“Are you here?”
The audience room of the temple.
The doctor standing at the entrance greeted Labo.
Labo nodded his head briefly and entered the audience room.
Guild members could be seen sitting or lying down comfortably here and there.
Now the audience room had completely become a hideout for the guild members. Labo glanced at the skeleton sitting on the throne with a slightly apologetic feeling.
It feels like I’ve decided to make my friend’s house my hideout and settled down there…
“… … .”
Of course, Crow’s skeleton remains silent as usual, without moving an inch.
“We were all watching the broadcast together. Let’s watch it together.”
The Doctor fiddled with the crystal ball in front of the throne. The screen on the wall in front of him grew larger.
‘Come to think of it, this thing also has a projector function… ?’
It was strangely practical. Labo broke out in a cold sweat.
Then Oasis made drinks and handed them out to everyone. Oasis smiled brightly when he found Labo.
“It’s a pumpkin drink with honey. It’s sweet and refreshing! Master, please have some too!”
“Okay, thank you.”
Labo looked at the screen while moistening his lips with the cold drink that Oasis had offered.
– Hello, this is Youngmi Choi, a reporter for VR World News! This is the center of the second occupied territory of the New World in Wings Online, ‘Hill of Opportunity’!
The female anchor spoke in a clear voice while looking at the camera add-on.
Rather than the strange TV channels that were all over the place, it was VR World News, a broadcast channel with some credibility.
It’s better than nothing, but it’s still the same as chasing issues and producing gossip from time to time.
– Currently, a meeting is being held in the occupied barracks here, convened by Aaron, the champion of the ‘Freedom Knights’ Association! It is expected that the leading guilds will unite to drive out the outlaws!
The camera showed the guild masters holding meetings around the barracks.
– They say that in 10 minutes, the guild masters will decide their opinions and notify Champion Aaron. I’ll let you know as soon as I get the news.
Aggle King, who was lying down and watching it, grumbled.
“The news is so boring. Tsk tsk, are you going to make a living as a streamer like that?”
“What would you do?”
When Cain asked curiously, Aggle King suddenly stood up from his seat.
“Hello, this is Aggle King from Aggro TV! Today, I have news of the Free Knights’ Union’s recruitment! But did you know, everyone? The VR world’s superstar, Aggle King, will soon be returning to broadcasting!”
“… … ?”
“Uggle King is a super popular, s*xy stripper who took her time with her cute and adorable appearance and lively broadcasting. She is also famous for her excellent BJ skills. Tsk tsk!”
Cain shouted, startled by the sudden outburst of nonsense.
“No, that’s completely off topic!”
“Of course. Because it’s much more fun and informative to watch me babble than to listen to that boring news!”
Back, the shouting Uggle King winked.
“Then, I’ll see you soon on the return of Aggle King’s broadcast, Show Show Show! Oh, and don’t forget to subscribe to the recommended favorites? I’ll find the bastards who don’t watch it later and blackmail them all? Well, that’s it, see you next time! Yeah, I love you too~!”
Aggle King makes a heart with both hands while looking at his camera add-on as if he is really broadcasting.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Everyone was looking at that aggro king with cold eyes.
Isn’t it because of things like that that they got kicked out from all broadcasting platforms?
“Ahem, ahem!”
The doctor, trying hard to look away from him, asked Labo.
“So, what do you think, Mr. Labo? Do you think the alliance will really be formed?”
“It must be formed.”
Labo, who had been watching the Aggle King’s amazing show with kind eyes as if it were a talent show, answered quietly.
“That way, they’ll unite as one and it’ll be easier for us to wipe them out.”
“… … It won’t be easy.”
The doctor glanced back at the broadcast screen. The guild masters were engaged in heated discussions with their respective guild members.
“They are all heroes, legends, and kings in their own fields. They are not forgotten villains like us, but rather the losers of this era who have steadily grown while basking in the sun at the center of the world.”
“That should be enough.”
Labo seemed rather pleased.
“It has to be around that point to be worth fighting for. That’s why the last Iron Matter match was so boring.”
“Well… … that’s what happened.”
“The stronger the light, the deeper the darkness.”
Inside the dark robe, the Demon King smiled leisurely.
“Let us pray that they become stronger and stronger.”
“… … .”

Cain, who had been listening to their conversation, turned his eyes back to the screen.
Champion Aaron sat neatly in the barracks, his eyes closed and waiting for the guild masters’ answer.
Cain gripped the sword at his waist tightly.
* * *
Outside the barracks of the Free Knights League.
The guild members of Gagapyo-guk stood surrounding the director.
“Director, what should we do? Should we join the alliance or leave?”
The guild members asked Director Jilpung.
“… … .”
The whirlwind was still in turmoil.
“Director, you have five minutes left. You must make a decision.”
“……after.”
Jilpung opened his mouth, wiping his furrowed brow with his hand.
“Life is always a process of choosing the lesser evil, not the best.”
The guild members blinked in confusion as Gwipung added.
“I’d rather stick with the hypocrite Aaron than the lawless bastard.”
“… … !”
“Even if you don’t get much money, you’ll at least get some public opinion and legitimacy.”
Glimmering at Aaron’s barracks, he announced this to everyone in the guild chat.
“I’m sending this message to all the representatives of the Gagapyo country. We are joining the union. We are joining the Free Knights League.”
The guild members’ faces brightened up.
The whirlwind laughed bitterly.
“Get ready to fight. Let’s have a go at these lawless bastards.”
* * *
“… … .”
Ranked 5th in the raid. The guild master of ‘The Invincible South’, the Invincible South quietly stroked his long beard.
He was an old man with a fresh appearance, and his original ID was Dongbang Bulpae.
The guild name was also Dongbang Bulpae.
However, during Season 1, they were defeated in a guild war that took place in the eastern part of the Old Continent, and changed their name to Northern Invincible.
But we lost again in the north, and we moved west but we lost again.
So currently the South is undefeated. The teasing name is the East, West, and North are sure to be defeated.
However, despite these consecutive defeats, the guild was maintained steadfastly and shared a long history with Wings as a prestigious guild.
“Say something, Grandpa.”
In front of him sat the 4th ranked raider, the guild master of the ‘Reserve Army Men’, ‘Majangdongdongdaejang’.
He was a man with a fierce appearance, wearing medieval armor and a Korean-style military cap on his head.
“What are you going to do? Are you really going to go under that Aaron bastard?”
“Isn’t the cause his? As the leader of the Southern Unbeatable, Wings Online faction, I cannot help but follow him.”
“No, stop! Stop playing martial arts in a fantasy game! F**k!”
Majangdongdongdaejang shouted, spitting fire from his mouth.
“What the hell is this, you bastards, talking nonsense about washing away ghosts. What are you planning on doing with those bastards who will stab you in the back of the head when you turn around! You and I were stabbing each other in the back just 6 hours ago?!”
“Haha. Even if it’s a prestigious sect, isn’t it the current trend in martial arts circles to join hands with the Demonic Cult, the Green Forest, and the Jang Gang-chae if necessary?”
“No, that means it’s not a martial arts world! You senile old man! This game is fantasy, fantasy! Really! No, and. Then we’re the Demonic Cult?”
“No, you bandits. You are the Green Forest.”
“What the hell is this old fart?!”
The commander of the Majangdongdong platoon, who had been losing his temper, finally calmed down and scratched his military hat.
“… …More than anything, I hate Aaron.”
“Why?”
“You’re a duel arena ranker, a martial arts tournament winner, a pro-gamer, a popular broadcaster! Using the fame and power you gained from those things to try to dominate this game… … I don’t like it!”
The Southern Invincible laughed heartily.
“Being ranked first in the arena is a skill, and winning a martial arts tournament is a skill. Being popular as a pro-gamer is a skill, and the number of viewers on a broadcast is also a skill.”
“but…….”
“Using all the means at your disposal to achieve your goal. Is that cowardly?”
The old man’s sharp eyes looked straight at the leader of the Majangdongdongdae.
“Then, isn’t it cowardly to limit yourself by worrying about what others think and not achieve your goals?”
“… … .”
The leader of the Majang-dong troop only moved his lips and did not answer.
“First of all, Champion Aaron has been running the security force on his own. What if that’s just for attention? Isn’t he actually protecting innocent users?”
It was unfortunate, but it was true.
Even though no one asked them to, the Free Knights League has been protecting users.
Whether it’s a show, a fad, or whatever, there are people who actually get saved.
“No matter how dark he is on the inside, or how good he may seem on the outside… … those things don’t really matter. What matters is that he actually does good.”
“… … .”
“I support Aaron.”
The Southern Invincible slowly got up from his chair.
“Our sect, the Southern Undefeatable, joins the alliance.”
“… … .”
“What are you going to do?”
Ma Jang Dong Dong Dae Jang can’t answer easily.
The Southern Invincible turned his gaze to the others standing on the other side.
“And you?”
“… … .”
The guild masters of other minor guilds were keeping their lips tightly shut and lost in thought.
“I respect whatever conclusion you make. So don’t worry too much about what other people think, and just do what you want to do.”
The Southern Invincible laughed and stroked his long beard.
“Isn’t this also a way to enjoy the game?”
* * *
All the guild masters entered the barracks.
While watching the scene on TV, Labo and the Nightbringer members were munching on snacks.
“What will happen?”
“Of course it will be formed.”
“The problem is the size. How many of those guilds will remain… … .”
Not long after, Aaron walked out of the barracks entrance, his expression quite bright.
Aaron spoke to those who had gathered like clouds and were waiting for the announcement.
– The formation of the alliance has been confirmed.
and-!
Cheers and applause poured in. Streamers panned their cameras to capture the scene from slightly better angles.
– What happens to the participating guilds?
Youngmi Choi of VR World News raised her hand and asked. Aaron nodded happily.
– Everyone who attended today.
The surprised people began to murmur.
There were several guilds that were enemies with each other, so I can’t believe they all participated.
– All guilds within the top 12 of the raid rankings have promised to join the alliance. It must have been a difficult decision, but thank you.
Among the guilds in the top 12, 3 are notorious guilds that are on the outlaw side, so the remaining 9 guilds have joined the alliance.
A total of 10 guilds, including the Free Knights League.
It was the moment when the largest and highest-level user group in the history of Wings Online was born.
Choi Young-mi asked again.
– What is the official name of the union?
– doesn’t exist.
Aaron answered immediately.
Those who were puzzled began to murmur again.
– Because we are not united for self-interest or material gain. We are united for justice. Once we have achieved our common goal of defeating the lawbreakers, we will disband.
For justice.
Upon hearing those words, Aggle King twisted his body violently.
“Oh my! For the sake of Dzuong! How dare you keep repeating such awkward lines! I’m Dzuong, Aaronnimy!”
But Aaron continued speaking without any shame, like a flowing stream of water.
– The moment we give it a name, we will grow a sense of belonging and gain power. So I won’t give it a name. Just call it ‘Union’.
After saying that, Aaron turned his head to the streamers filming him.
– To all the lawbreakers of the New World, I hereby declare:
The streamers quickly zoomed in on their cameras.
Aaron spoke slowly and clearly.
– If you surrender, we will pay your infamy bounty and help you return to being a regular user. However, all outlaws who do not surrender after three days… … .
Aaron felt the rapier on his waist with his hand.
– … … I will deal with you using the logic of power. That is all.
Bow.
Aaron bowed 90 degrees and went back into the barracks.
The broadcast became chaotic as users continued to ask questions.
“Huh, this is not cool.”
When Labo looked over, he saw Oldman, who had just logged on, smiling while watching the broadcast.
“If several people come together, it’s natural that you should add ‘maeng (盟)’ to the end of your name. I have no sense in naming things.”
“I don’t think that’s something you should really say… … .”
Although Aggle King was grumbling, Oldman paid no attention and just stared at the screen.
The faces of other guild masters visible inside the barracks.
“… … There are so many familiar faces.”
Reporter Choi Young-mi began her summary by looking at the screen.
– The ‘Union’ formed today is truly the largest single organization since the ‘Blood Pact’ of Season 1…
The face of the old tyrant, the leader of that blood alliance, was distorted with unbearable pleasure.
“This is going to be a really fun reunion.”
