Golden Goblin (1)
-Pond. He is a disgrace to the Chinese.
After China’s defeat in the Continental War.
The arrows of resentment were directed at China’s number one ranked player, Pond, who had been in command of them.
-It wouldn’t have been this shameful if he hadn’t said anything.
The Chinese sympathized.
Before the Continental War, Pond had expressed confidence in press conferences, never even considering the thought of losing.
What are the results?
– Over 300 of China’s top rankers, including Pond, Liu, Wei, and Yongyue, were wiped out by just one user.
-Even though it was the end of the Continental War and Hyun had achieved the first Transcendence, it was truly absurd that 300 people were defeated by one person.
-Pond and Rio deserve to be criticized for not being able to withstand the strong force of the user suspension for even a minute.
The fallen pride of the Chinese people.
He feels like tearing the suspension bridge apart and killing the pond.
He made the announcement without realizing that the public was further angered by his own arrogant remarks.
“I will make up for my mistakes after the server integration. Hyun’s Blacksmith will disappear without a trace after the server integration.”
Someone asked.
-What are you going to do if you lose again?
Pond said confidently.
“That won’t happen. If that happens, I will readily admit defeat.”
Pond stood in front of 2,000 Chinese users before departure and spoke.
“It is a self-evident fact that there are less than 10 members of the Hyeon Blacksmith Guild. The troops of the Balas Territory are small and are mainly blacksmiths. The newly acquired territory? The data proves everything.”
These 2,000 Chinese users were special.
Pond, a descendant of the Sword Emperor, was a user with the title of count and the head of the largest guild in China.
He also selected only the best of his troops, half of whom received volunteers from Chinese users.
These volunteer users are known for their high rankings or skills in China.
“Just as users from various countries became MVPs, guilds that were most active in the continental war were given territories, and according to the data, most of those territories were similar.”
This was also information that could have been known in advance since it was a pond.
“An average of 400 troops for 3,000 Yeongji residents. Even if you add up all the troops in the Balas territory that Hyun previously held, it doesn’t even amount to 600.”
The gap between the guild members led by Pond and others is too big.
“Whoever loses this will be as big as a sack. With the information we have obtained this time, we will raid and destroy the new base of the Hyeon. We will kill all the troops, and the adults will be our slaves, and the children will be sold to the slave market.”
Pond was honest, unlike his swordsman Roman.
“Let us calm our angry hearts by slaughtering them and witness the despair of the present together.”
Among the applicants, there were those who participated because Hyun-soo had brought shame to China.
Pond’s plan seemed perfect.
But. the first button was off.
‘Cabel gave false information. Was he an imposter?’
The never-ending maze was mentally exhausting.
Pond and his elite soldiers wandering around inside were becoming increasingly exhausted.
“Just going around one place 50 times, what is this… … .”
Even the return order scroll was unusable and I was still here after logging out.
I don’t know how many days I wandered like that.
He could face a group that outnumbered them.
In particular, the young swordsman who stood at the very front and held a sword embarrassed Pond.
[Sword Roman Lv.429]
‘You’re a named NPC… … ?’
He is also one of the few named NPCs in the kingdom.
Even if a named NPC is of the same level as the user, they have overwhelming strength that surpasses him.
‘Besides, the number of troops is twice ours.’
It was estimated that a significant number of them, 4,000, were knights.
‘So many knights gathered in one place? Were they on their way to fight a war?’
The guild members of Pond stood tense, aiming their weapons.
one side.
Roman is also nervous. The knight asked.
“Who are they?”
“I don’t know, but what I know for sure is that they are not from the Asgan Continent. They say that all the continents were connected according to God’s will… … .”
Swordsman Roman. He doesn’t trust foreigners in the first place.
It was chilling to the teeth to see those greedy and avaricious foreigners.
But now he remembers what he was trying to do.
‘I have to accomplish a great task. I must avoid unnecessary conflicts.’
If there was no need to fight, there was no need to stick together.
Right then.
Roman could see a bright light appearing in their center.
‘Warp’s Light?’
And Roman’s eyes widened.
The one who appeared within it.
That was because it was Count Hyeon-su.
Soon Roman’s teeth were clenched.
“You’ve come all the way here from across the ocean, I knew you’d come.”

This is because Hyunsoo shared a warm(?) hug with their commander who was at the forefront.
***
The moment he saw Hyun-soo, Pond’s teeth chattered. He decided that it was he who had sent them into the never-ending maze.
But he hugged himself.
“You’ve come all the way here from across the ocean, I knew you’d come.”
Pond was confused. He looked at Hyunsoo who was suddenly hugging him and thought, “Is this kid crazy?”
“Now, what… … .”
“It must have been hard for you to come all this way.”
Pond and the Chinese were dumbfounded.
Hyun-soo, who had detached himself, gently stroked Pond’s collar.
“I also saw what you said.”
Hyunsoo knew that among the people who wanted to catch him, the most posts were from Pond and Chinese users.
In particular, Pond has been saying that he will destroy the guild he worked so hard to build and turn the territory into a sea of fire.
“But what should we do? Can you see those Goyard Kingdom people behind us now?”
Pond’s eyes widened as he heard those words. He took a step back.
‘no way……?’
There are many rumors that user Hyunsu is the disciple of Sword King Barad.
Could it be that the Sword King sent an army to Hyeon-su?
Is that even possible?
One, the people right in front of me suddenly started glaring at me as if they were going to kill me.
Those eyes.
‘It was those guys?’
‘I’m done for, you f*cking idiots.’
‘You dare to barge into our Hyun-soo(?)?’
Pond swallowed dry saliva.
“I wish I could go back now.”
Pond had no intention of going back.
He looked around at the guild members next to him.
They prepared to use their skills with ominous momentum. And then Hyun-soo turned around.
‘I didn’t lie.’
It was true.
Hyunsoo never said, “They’re my army.”
I asked if he could see the kids behind him now.
The next place he walked to was in front of the swordsman Roman, who was shaking with his eyes glaring ominously.
Roman could tell that they had crossed the continent.
‘And they are foreigners again.’
They are unbelievable species, having crossed the sea again. To Roman and the rebels, they are like barbarians.
‘So many people came to help Hyun-soo? I was being careless.’
Hyunsoo bowed to Roman.
Even though they were both of the same rank, in terms of hierarchy, Duke Roman was higher.
“You really are… … .”
“As you can see, they have crossed the continent just to meet me.”
Roman looked behind them. They were ready for battle, looking at him as if they were going to kill him.
‘I came here to meet Hyunsoo.’
‘You’re all screwed.’
‘It’s a do or die situation.’
Gulp-
There was no place for Roman to retreat either.
The rebellion has already begun and unless Count Hyeon-su is killed, it will be irreversible.
In the eyes of the King, there is no longer any place for Sword Master Roman to stand.
“Kill them all, Count Hyeon-su. I’ll decorate them with you.”
“So you’re saying you won’t back down? I see… … .”
It was before Hyunsoo could finish speaking.
A huge pressure weighs down on the knights and the swordsman Roman.
When Hyunsoo looked back, a nine-headed hydra was descending.
“Keeheeeeeeeek!”
[The Legendary Monster. The Appearance of Hydra!]
[Hydra Lv.511]
“What is that animal!?”
“This is nonsense!”
A giant hydra appears in Rio.
[Hydra’s Wrath]
[The enemy loses momentum and stops in front of the legendary monster.]
[You will be stunned for 2 seconds, and poison will fill your entire body, causing blood to flow from your eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.]
At the appearance of the magnificent Hydra, all the knights, including Swordmaster Roman, froze and blood flowed from every part of their bodies.
[The first legend of the title shines.]
[The same legend cannot suppress another legend.]
Hydra was unable to suppress Hyun-soo like before.
‘The moment you summon Hydra, the battle begins.’
Hyunsoo quickly got out of their sight.
Kuhwaaaaak-!
Immediately, the battle began with the Hydra’s poisonous breath striking them.
Hyunsoo smiled faintly as he watched the scene.
‘Catching barbarians with barbarians. Thanks, Cabel.’
Hyunsoo saw a total of 6,000 enemies.
Their level now is beyond common sense.
First of all, check Roman.
As expected from a man from a famous swordsmanship family, he brought all the knights from that family together.
The average level of a knight is 320.
However, the subordinates of the knights are also much stronger than the regular knights.
The average level of the knights accompanying Roman was as high as 370.
There are four thousand such people.
However, those led by Pond were not easy either.
‘China has two thousand.’
Still, it has the power to overwhelm 4,000 people.
The reason is that the population of the Chinese server was overwhelming and only the elite were selected from among them.
Right now, Liu, Yongyue, and Wang Gang are in the world rankings.
Also, since most of them were users in the top 1% in China, their average level was between 380 and 410.
If we compare individual strengths, Chinese users have the upper hand.
Also, Hyunsoo couldn’t help but have his mouth split open as he looked at them.
‘Dehetdehet, dehehehehe.’
‘Hehehehehehe!’
Hyunsoo thinks they will soon find out the truth.
But I know what will happen then.
‘Both sides will suffer massive damage, and there will inevitably be many seriously injured and wounded.’
Hyunsoo guarantees.
If you fight them with Atlas, you will lose 100%.
However, it was possible to fight them while they were still in a state of open combat and pouring all their power into it.
And there was another reason why Hyunsoo smiled.
‘The analogy that Nell made was really fitting.’
***
“They will become golden goblins.”
Golden Goblin is a term used by users in RPG games 20 years ago.
“Golden Goblins are those guys who die instantly and give you a huge reward. What better metaphor could there be?”
Nell checked the notice that came up after the server merge again.
[Chapter 2 The King’s Road Begins.]
[Large-scale battles and territorial disputes are expected to occur in various places.]
[You can obtain territory contribution points by winning territory battles and large-scale battles.]
[A ‘Territory Contribution’ shop will open in all territories.]
[Soldiers and knights who participate in territory wars or large-scale battles gain experience points when they defeat opponents who are similar or stronger than them.]
[Gold drops according to the strength of those who participated in territory wars or large-scale battles.]
[However, if the level difference between those participating in a territory battle or large-scale battle is more than 100, the contribution and experience drop rate will decrease significantly.]
It was natural that users had to wage war to climb the King’s Path.
In order to further increase motivation, Purum Co., Ltd. has added new systems along with the server integration update.
Nell arrived in a forest with four thousand Atlas troops.
Her heart begins to pound.
‘it’s crazy…….’
This was absolutely ridiculous and made me wonder.
This will tell us how strong Atlas will become, and how high the user suspension will rise.
And in the forest where she stands.
It was a path that led straight into a never-ending maze.
‘Let’s go and catch six thousand golden goblins.’
[You have entered an endless maze.]
Atlas’ four thousand strong army goes to carve a new legend.
‘Count Hyeon-su drove out two thousand marauders who had crossed the continent!’
‘Count Hyeon-su defeats the rebellion and proudly advances as the king’s descendant!’
The legend is likely to live on for quite some time.
Atlas won’t even have 100 casualties.
