The pros and cons of users and NPCs are clear.
Now that the second Ares has opened, the level of NPCs is still overwhelmingly higher than that of users.
One thing to keep in mind is that just 4 years ago users started at level 1.
It’s surprising that users followed the NPCs.
Another advantage of NPCs is that they were born, raised, and developed here, and the advantage of users is that there are quests that allow them to follow their growth.
Users gain stats and skills as they clear quests and advance.
You can also learn information that NPCs might not know through quests.
And another benefit of the quest.
It means being able to predict what will happen in the future.
Sometimes we are told what is about to happen, and sometimes we are not told what is going to happen.
It’s quite unfriendly.
But users have no complaints.
Still, I feel like it would be nice to at least let people know what’s going to happen.
And now, Hyunsoo finds out one of those things is about to happen.
[A group of people dissatisfied with the king’s command raises troops.]
[An army of four thousand men begins to move to bring down the king’s descendants.]
[Please prepare for war.]
Hyunsoo’s face, which had met Arte, was distorted with embarrassment, and at the same time a quest was triggered.
Tiring!
[King’s Path Quest: Rebels]
Rating: S
Restriction: Descendants of the King
Reward: Loot and +3 to all stats for all guild members
Penalty on failure: Retire from the lineage.
Description: Those who were dissatisfied with the royal command raised troops by taking advantage of the chaotic gap between the continents. Wipe them out as they cause chaos in the Kingdom of Goyard.
‘The times are not good… … .’
Hyunsoo personally thought that if he were to start a war on territory, the first ones would be the users.
‘Authorization posts are being uploaded one after another, saying that they have come to the Asgan continent server to find my hidden territory.’
The good news is that they won’t touch Balas territory.
This was Nell’s plan.
‘We must withdraw most of the forces from Balas territory. Only a few squires and blacksmiths should remain, and although Bark is the real lord, Belin must pretend to be the lord.’
‘Why should it be like that? If it were like that, wouldn’t it be too dangerous when the Balas territory is attacked?’
‘Ares is set in the Middle Ages. It’s a world where war is constant, power is dominant, and human rights are lacking.’
‘Yeah, so more troops… … .’
‘But not the users.’
At that time, Nell filled in Hyun-soo’s shortcomings.
‘The current users are people living in the 21st century. In the Russian war that broke out in 2022, Russia, which started it, received worldwide condemnation. Modern people hate powerless, one-sided plunder and massacre.’
‘… … So what you’re saying is that in the case of users, they won’t attack indiscriminately the Balas territory, which seems to be on the same level as civilians, because they’ll be heavily criticized. But aren’t there crazy guys everywhere?’
‘That’s right. But even if they are crazy, there is nothing to be gained by raiding the Balas territory right now. The only thing to be gained is Hyun-soo’s anger. Then I will ask a question here. How many users do you think want to incur Hyun-soo’s anger right now? Also, the users around the world are currently burning with a sense of victory, not enemies with Hyun-soo.’
‘Then what about the NPCs?’
‘If there are any who plot a rebellion, and dare to pillage the land where His Majesty Barad resides, they will be annihilated.’
Hyunsoo was impressed by Nell’s wisdom.
‘Just in case, we deployed Bark, the members of the Storm Troopers, and Luke disguised as ordinary citizens.’
Hyunsoo knew he had to return to Atlas.
“Arte, I’ll go back. If anything happens, call me right away.”
Hyunsoo whispered to Nell before tearing up the return order.
[Hyunsoo: Nell.]
[Nell is logging out.]
Hyunsoo made a puzzled expression.
‘What? You’re not the type of person who wouldn’t be online at this time?’
Hyunsoo tore up the return order.
one side.
Hyein also confirmed the quest ‘Rebel’ that had been launched.
She checked it and logged out at the same time.
“This is an unprecedented crisis for the Hyeon Blacksmith Shop.”
If the users and rebels find the Atlas at the same time, the current forge may fall immediately.
‘You can withstand one wave, but you cannot withstand two waves.’
But Hyein felt something strange.
She checked the information she had collected on her computer.
There were screenshot contents there.
-I went to the Korean server to catch Hyun’s blacksmith. But I got stuck in a place called the never-ending maze. What is this?
He was a Korean who acquired Chinese citizenship.
-The never-ending teaser lol, why did you go in there?
– X bar over there. Even the Sword King doesn’t go there.
-This is a Korean server!!!!!
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

I checked other information.
[I am Musashi of Japan. I hereby inform you that I have officially become an enemy of the informant Kabel. Kabel was a fraud, as rumors abound.]
“Cable… …?”
She chewed on the name.
In addition, there were posts saying that Cabel was a fraud, that he was no longer an informant, or that he had been tricked by an imposter.
Also, most of the rankers from other worlds, excluding Pond, were scattered throughout high-difficulty dungeons.
In other words, it was a waste of time.
‘Except for Pond, none of the others have any ill will towards Hyun-soo. That’s why they haven’t yet led a force of this size. They only brought the bare minimum.’
So it doesn’t look that threatening.
Anyway, this is what Hyein finds strange.
“Why on earth is it Cable?”
She knew Cabel too.
He was a figure with a much higher value than Korea’s number one ranked player, Lee Hwan.
He, also known as the Shadow, has never appeared in this world.
It is also very difficult to buy information from him.
What she found strange was this.
‘The rebels are not moving towards Atlas.’
Hyein asks a question here.
Do NPCs buy information too?
The answer was YES. They too would buy the information of the most famous people if they really needed it.
“Did Cabel send the rebels towards the never-ending maze?”
The two groups that entered the maze had something in common.
First, the large number of troops.
Second, there is ill will towards Hyun-soo.
Also, as mentioned earlier, Cabel sent all the other small group of rankers to the dungeon.
Hyein thought for a moment.
“Friend or foe?”
She had such a question and was able to solve it by connecting with Ares.
“Cable… … you say?”
Hyunsoo was amazed when he realized who his anonymous friend was.
It’s not that I have a friend I can turn to for help.
Although he didn’t know his name or the power he possessed, he was amazed and delighted to find that his best friend was a better and more amazing person than he had thought.
“As expected, he was a great guy.”
Hyunsoo explained the whole story to Nell.
“… … Are you talking about Raon?”
Nell turned out to be a thorough ally.
“Why is that?”
Why send two groups with something in common there?
She racked her brain to find the answer.
That moment.
[You have entered the continent of Pondar.]
Cavell smiled bitterly as he arrived on the continent where he could walk the path of Asura.
‘This is a one-time use method.’
This is also a method that can be used while discarding the achievements that Cabel has built up so far.
Of course, it doesn’t matter to him now that he wants to walk the path of Asura.
‘You are the only person I acknowledge.’
Caval does not acknowledge anyone. That is why he did not even acknowledge Zhuge Liang, the most famous strategist in China.
However, while staying in the Atlas territory, I was able to find out that the key figure there was Nell.
‘Only you with an extraordinary mind can find the answer quickly.’
Cavell simply sent them on their way, and it was up to her to shape the outcome.
***
“Your Majesty is suffering from loneliness. He is unable to see the world straight and is being played around by Count Hyeon-su, who is like a traitor.”
These are the words of the swordsman Roman, who leads the rebel army.
In the Kingdom of Goyard, there are two great swordsmanship families known as the Two Great Mountains.
One is the family led by the sword master Raisen, who had previously clashed with Hyun-soo.
Another one was the Frieder family led by this very swordsman, Roman.
Unlike Licen, Swordsman Roman is a very young character.
“you’re right.”
“This is the last chance to open His Majesty’s eyes to the world that has not been seen properly.”
He looked around at the rebels gathered from all over.
They say that, but their intentions are extremely dark.
‘If not Bella, if not by blood, then who should sit on the throne? Sir Lysene is old. Am I not the only light in Goyard?’
He hid his greed with lies and empty words that his Majesty must see correctly.
also.
‘If the Count’s suspension falls, Roman may be able to get closer to the descendants.’
‘If that happens, a big position will come to us too.’
The same goes for those who follow him.
Roman said.
“This is a reform for the future of Goyard.”
“That’s right!”
“For Goyard!”
“For!”
A young knight asked a question.
“What about the people of Yeongji?”
Roman made a bitter expression.
“If you become our ears, our body, and our tongue, you will save us.”
When the brutal war is over, the Sword King will be questioned.
At that time, the people of Hyeonsu’s territory must reveal that it was a just fight.
“If not, I will have to kill them all since they have been brainwashed by Count Hyun-soo.”
Continental law also stipulates that civilians cannot be killed.
In particular, the laws of the Goyard Kingdom are more stringent.
Roman, who ignored him, was truly a man of terrible greed.
Before they knew it, they had reached the forest.
But something strange happened.
“Isn’t this the way we came?”
“… … Strange, the person I bought the information from is said to be an informant with a reputation that extends beyond the continent. Let’s go this way.”
After a while.
“This is the way we came!”
“Then this way.”
A little later.
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
Roman looked embarrassed and then burst into laughter.
“… … They said he was a master of brainwashing, and it was true. There must have been a spell cast on this place. Count Hyun-soo’s territory must be hidden somewhere here. Let’s find it quickly.”
Roman and the rebels moved in search of the hidden fiefdom Atlas.
Then, I was able to spot unidentified people rushing in from the front.
‘Two thousand people… …?’
Roman frowned as he watched the crowd of people rushing in.
‘The Count Hyeon-su’s territory and pattern are different… … ?’
He tilted his head and watched the crowd approaching.
***
‘The rebels are NPCs and Pond’s forces are made up of users.’
Nell closed her eyes and fell into thought.
‘The two groups are bound to meet in the never-ending maze.’
At this time, Nell thinks.
NPCs don’t trust users.
Users don’t trust NPCs.
also.
“The Pond doesn’t know where the NPCs belong, and the rebels don’t know who they are from China.”
Nell’s eyes opened.
“I have learned of Cabel’s intentions, Hyunsoo.”
Nell was genuinely creeped out.
He sent people everywhere.
Sent somewhere else again.
Some people sent it this way, some sent it that way, and others judged that they would think of it themselves.
After seeing all these boards, Cavell and Nell were truly grateful.
“Hyunsoo’s close friend left us with the only way to protect Atlas.”
It was true.
Because the four thousand rebels and the two thousand elite of Pond were more than Atlas could withstand.
“What is that… … ?”
“Control barbarians with barbarians.”
Hyunsoo originally used this phrase to mean defeating an enemy with the enemy’s strength.
But the real meaning of this was different.
“Catch barbarians with barbarians.”
