[Atlas’s financial condition is at its lowest.]
Hyein is struggling to change this desperate notification.
Financial condition is at its lowest.
This is the stage where the Atlas inhabitants feel great hunger.
‘And preparations for the Great Atlas War… ‘
My head hurt so bad it felt like it was going to explode.
In this situation, Hyein had to enter the dungeon with her guild members.
Because the users’ strength is also needed in the Great Atlas War.
So they couldn’t stop leveling up.
Hyein’s face distorted as she was about to enter the dungeon.
[Yeongju Hyunsu promised to give some of the real World Tree to the Kingdom of Praham.]
[If you do not keep your promise, your relationship with the Kingdom of Praham may deteriorate.]
[Yeongju Hyeonsu must receive support from the Goyard Kingdom with 100,000 troops to pay tribute to the bereaved families of the fallen soldiers.]
[If you don’t pay, you may hear complaints from the people.]
“… … ?”
This notification made me realize that Hyunsoo had made a mistake.
Of course, Nell also heard that Luxiu had left.
Also, the fact that Hyun-soo was humiliated. So, Hyun-soo asked Nell if he could proceed with this.
Nell expressed her desire to gain more strength and do it when Atlas had more free time.
However, Nell’s feelings became complicated due to Hyun-soo’s insistence.
She focused on clearing the dungeon with her guild members and said after it was over.
“I have something to discuss. Let’s meet at a cafe.”
***
“In two weeks, there is a possibility that the people of the territory will starve to death. Our Atlas has even ended up in debt to the Kingdom of Goyad and Praham.”
“The people of Yeongji might starve?”
The guild members realized the seriousness of the situation and figured out why they were gathered at the cafe.
“Yes, I’m going to pick on Hyun-soo a lot about this part.”
She doesn’t want that either.
Sometimes, moments like these are just what you need.
People can’t be perfect.
It is also an undeniable fact that Hyun-soo’s attack on the Blood King was motivated by emotion.
Atlas’ hunger could have lasted longer because he was in debt to Goyard and Praham.
“We need to make people aware that when the financial situation is at its lowest, it is really serious. It goes from lowest to worst in an instant.”
“What happens if the worst happens?”
Hyein answered Hyuksu’s question honestly.
“There will be people who starve to death.”
“… … !”
“… … !”
The guild members were surprised.
The blacksmith of the present has a mission to protect them. It is shocking that there could be people starving to death in this situation.
Also, they are not just criticizing Hyun-soo, but they also regret their own mistakes.
“I was too focused on my own growth.”
“There are many hungry people in Yeongji, and it will soon be winter. I was foolish.”
“How about I pay the money?”
These are the words of Tae-ha, the youngest son of a conglomerate family.
Hyein shook her head.
“It’s only a temporary expedient. The game’s finances are being pulled from reality, and this should not be repeated.”
Of course, Hyein plans to use up even real money if it gets to the point where people are starving to death.
Tae-ha, who recognized the seriousness of the situation, said.
“This time I really have to speak harshly, of course I am deeply reflecting on my actions.”
“I didn’t know things would turn out like this. I know Hyun-soo’s path was the best, but I didn’t see what I really needed to look back on.”
“Yes, very sharply. I will tell you never to act so unilaterally again.”
The will is burning.
At that moment, a KakaoTalk message arrived from Hyunsu.
[Kang Hyun-soo: Nell, where are you^^?]
Hyein took a deep breath and replied with a serious expression.
[Kim Hye-in: It was a dungeon. I cleared it and logged out, so when I logged back in, it would be Atlas. What about you, Hyun-soo?]
[Kang Hyun-soo: I’m on my way back.]
[Kim Hye-in: That’s great. I have something to say, so I’ll see you at Atlas.]
widely-
Hyein put down her phone and made a cold expression.
“Let’s all connect.”
“great.”
“See you at Atlas.”
They split up to log in and meet again at Atlas.
Among them, Risel felt the greatest sense of mission.
Because I was a friend of the same age as Hyunsoo, I could talk to him most openly.

I also felt angry at the thought that there might be starvation among the people of Yeongji.
As soon as he logged in, Resell could see Hyunsoo approaching him brightly.
“It’s been a while, everyone… … .”
“You bastard!”
“… … ?”
Risel shouted. When Hyunsoo, who was taken aback by this, made a puzzled expression, Risel pointed to the surroundings and said.
“The situation in Yeongji is like this right now, so why are you doing something that I told you not to do!? Huh!? Shhh shhh shhh!”
Risel was the first to criticize Hyun-soo.
In the meantime, I heard some notifications, but I was starting to get angry, so I didn’t hear them.
Someone pulled at his collar.
“I, Mr. Risel… … That… … .”
“Ah, let go, Hyunsoo, you’re going to keep doing this… …!”
Hyunsoo, who was listening to him, was fully convinced.
It was true that this was his own arbitrary action, and that the promise of the World Tree to the Kingdom of Praham and the provision of troops to the Kingdom of Goyard would later become a burden to Atlas.
Hyunsoo speaks to the guild members.
“I was short-sighted. I will be more careful in the future. Thank you for pointing out my shortcomings.”
On the one hand, the black turtle-like appearance is noticeable.
But Ressel thinks that when you pinch, you have to pinch.
“Don’t do that next time!”
“Yeah, thank you for pointing out my shortcomings.”
Was I being too harsh?
As I was thinking that, Nell next to me suddenly spoke.
“No, I told you not to do it.”
“… … Why, why?”
Risel looked puzzled.
Then I realized that I was the only one saying something even though we all agreed to say something together.
“Please notify me… … .”
“This is a notification… … ?”
Soon, Ressel was surprised to see the notification.
[You have recruited the undefeated knight Luxiu to the Hyeon’s Blacksmith Shop.]
“… … ?”
The undefeated knight.
The legendary knight is said to have returned to Hyun-soo’s arms.
And that too with the title of a truly undefeated knight.
In fact, the reason why Nell and the guild members criticized Hyun-soo for being reckless is because of Luxiu’s loyalty to Brad.
In their common sense, it was somewhat incomprehensible that Hyunsoo would come forward when Luxiu had such loyalty to Brad.
But when he was brought in, things changed, and Luxiu suddenly came up to him and asked.
“… … What happened? Did he bully you?”
Srrrrung-
“… … ?”
Just a few days ago, Luxiu was the kind of person who would laugh and say ‘Poohahaha’ even if Hyunsoo fell over while walking.
I’m really worried right now and I feel like I could pull out my sword.
“No, it was my fault. Thank you for telling me that, Risel. I don’t know if this will be of any comfort, but somehow we ended up with people who could help us.”
“… … ?”
Risel looked puzzled, then quickly became embarrassed.
Puuuuuuu-
The trumpet sound of those who arrived late.
It was not a fake million-strong army, but a real million that was coming into Atlas.
They were carrying farming tools like picks and shovels on their shoulders and were shouting things like this.
“Let’s go develop Atlas!”
“Degazuaaaah!”
[The 1 million people of the Enya Kingdom will help expand the Atlas until they find peace.]
“… … .”
Risel was speechless.
Even if you put just 1,000 people in the auditorium, it will be bustling.
An endless procession of a million people was entering Atlas.
And they’re only here for a few days, but they’re helping expand the Atlas?
Considering the value of one person’s salary, it was an enormous amount.
Is that all?
Hyunsoo brought up the story carefully.
“Fortunately, I managed to get some money.”
All the guild members paid attention.
How much is it?
Another reason why the guild members tried to dissuade Resell was because they were already aware of the notification.
[Atlas’ finances change from worst to best!]
It’s very difficult to change from worst to best. Everyone froze at the notification that came soon after.
[The Blacksmith’s Vault is filled with 71,131,000,000 gold.]
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
“… … ?”
7.1 billion won.
This happened two days after Hyunsoo returned from the Kingdom of Enya.
“I think it would be good to buy food with 3.5 million gold, and raw materials with 3.5 million gold, and expand to 1 million people in 4 days.”
“Hiccup!”
Hearing this, Risel hiccuped.
Hyunsoo says.
“Even if this result came out, it was only because I was lucky. I apologize to all the guild members.”
Hyunsoo bowed his head again.
A bewildered Risel looked at Nell as if asking for help.
Nell, who had betrayed him in an instant, made a heart with her fingers.
“… … I, I love… … no, I like it.”
“… … ?”
Change stance faster than light!
Hyuk-soo said, gently squeezing both of his hands.
“… … Don’t worry about what he says, I knew you could do it. He seems to be in a bad mood these days. He’s hysterical anyway.”
Hyeji is holding it.
“Why are you saying that to our Hyunsoo!”
Taehoon says.
“Long live Hyunsoo!”
“Long live!”
“… … .”
Hyunsoo said.
“No, it was my fault, Risel. Thank you for picking on me like that. I will continue to improve and move forward.”
“Risel suddenly became the only bad person,” said.
“… … I want to be alone, please disappear.”
A whisper came.
[Nell: He’s over there alone.]
“… … .”
Risel went into a corner alone. It was a beautiful day.
Anyway, Atlas, which has secured sufficient resources and sufficient manpower, changes quickly.
“We will build more buildings and also build more shops.”
“Is it possible to do it in just 4 days?”
“A million people?”
“……ah.”
[The number of homes and shops in Atlas increases by 321%!]
“In order to expand the field, it is necessary to plow and improve the field.”
“Is it possible in 4 days… …?”
“It’s possible, since there are 1 million.”
“ah…….”
[Atlas’s field grows 11 times larger than usual, and the size of the territory expands significantly!]
“I will procure all the food we need to survive the winter.”
“In four days?”
“Yes, it can be done quickly since there are 1 million people.”
[Atlas stores over 10,000 kg of meat from various animals to survive the winter!]
After four days.
“… …May you all sleep comfortably.”
After Aria’s prayer, they closed their eyes in the most comfortable manner, leaving behind the most precious thing in the world.
Their blessings and help descend upon Atlas and create a new history.
[There are 200,000 people living in the Atlas of the Realm.]
[Highest residential satisfaction.]
[Food storage is also excellent.]
[The financial condition is excellent.]
[Congratulations.]
Just 3 months.
Hyunsoo stands on a path that no one has been able to walk.
[The Atlas Territory is first promoted to a Great Territory.]
[You will be able to become a Marquis.]
Tiring!
[Does not rise to the rank of Marquis.]
“I declare.”
In front of 200,000 people, I say:
“The Great Atlas declares that it is an independent territory, free from Goya.”
He completely escapes Goyard’s shadow and begins to create his own power.
That’s right.
Although it was a great empire, it was the beginning of one of the smallest kingdoms in the world.
There was another moment that Hyunsoo had been waiting for.
This was something many people were watching with concern.
Purum Co., Ltd.’s special user management team.
“Surely, is this true… … ?”
Also, Lee Se-jin from the representative office.
“It’s a crazy thing to happen, but it’s what he did.”
A story that would make even the five kings of the throne somewhere fearful was beginning to unfold.
Luxiu approached Hyunsoo, who had declared that he was a completely independent territory.
[The departed Luxiu never spoke of the past.]
[Right now, Luxiu’s loyalty to you is high.]
“I have something to say.”
Hyunsoo looked at Luxiu with an expectant expression.
“I will tell you how to become a king.”
