Relife Player 646
[Chapter 169]
[Small Victory (2)]
Monsters have invaded Gangbuk.
<Destruction at the end of the century> Afterwards, the news that Gangbuk, which had been considered the safest land until now, had been invaded spread throughout the country that day.
“─Cocoon collapsed?” “Yes, yes… . It is said that Cocoon collapsed last night and monsters formed an army and invaded Gangbuk.” “What is the damage? What is the scale? So what happened to Gangbuk?”
Near Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City.
Im Ga-eul, the fairy who infused Cocoon with the mana of <Baek Eun>, stiffened her face after hearing her aide’s words.
Her tone was extremely sharp.
Well, it had to be that way.
The aide also sensed her feelings and took an extremely low-key stance to avoid getting caught.
“That… . Damage is currently being estimated, and three monsters estimated to be level 3 or higher have been identified.”
“For something like this to happen when I’m not around… .”
She bit her lip.
The aide looked at her and cautiously added more words.
“Luckily <Jeil Sword> It is said that you were in Gangbuk at the time, and other players joined forces to successfully prevent the invasion.” “That’s a good thing. What happened to the corps commander?”
“They say they haven’t defeated it yet. The military appears to have retreated as of this morning, and it is believed that there will be another invasion tonight. Ah, <Jeil Sword> They say you inflicted a fatal blow on a corps commander.”
“It means that the monsters are determined to take advantage of the opportunity of Cocoon being broken. Phew, it was a good thing I caught Ji Yong-hyun oppa.”
“But the problem is… .”
“What else is there?”
she asked nervously.
The aide just muttered.
Then, after hesitating for a while, he closed his eyes tightly and opened his mouth.
“─This morning, <Cheolong> It is said that you died and drank alcohol in the process of stopping the army.” “”””… … !!””””
A living myth.
And the founder of the Mana Management Organization and the player who made the greatest achievements in establishing the fairy government.
<Cheolong> Moon Jun.
Astonishment spread across the faces of everyone present, including Lim Ga-eul.
It was ridiculous.
A giant who seemed like he would never fall fell so suddenly.
However, the story the aide told was extremely dark.
“… So, <Cheolong> On behalf of you, I am now speaking to the <King of Darkness> It is said that you are in overall command of the Mana Management Organization.” “Okay… .”
One of the few living myths is the <King of Darkness> It was fortunate that Baek Seo-jin was alive.
Nevertheless, Lim Ga-eul’s face turned pale when she heard the news of Mun-jun’s death.
“… … .”
Her limbs were shaking.
The person who had protected him all this time and who seemed like he would protect him forever has disappeared.
The person who made her a fairy and became her unwavering support has passed away.
“Fairy.” “… know. I know that too.”
Did he notice her anxiety?
Escort Park Sang-jin approached.
He helped her up as she looked like she might collapse at any moment.
Almost clinging to Park Sang-jin.
Lim Ga-eul tried to suppress her trembling.
“Whoa… .”
Take a deep breath and come to your senses.
She made a face reminiscent of an iron man and spoke to the audience.
“─I will cancel all schedules. “I’m going back to Seoul right now.”
Due to the influence of the military presence in Seoul, there will probably be a lot of omnipotence lurking on the way up to Seoul.
So 3 days at the earliest.
Considering that I don’t sleep, it will take at least 2 days.
As the first destination of the tour was chosen as Gwangju, the return trip took quite some time.
“How did I choose Gwangju as the first circuit site…? . “I’ll have to think about it later.”
After making a decision, Lim Ga-eul told people to pack their bags right away.
Then I turned my head to where Gwangju City Hall was located.
Now that the Cocoon in Gangbuk has collapsed, we need a replacement Cocoon.
But it will take a lot of time to create a new cocoon.
Seoul is important.
A lot of infrastructure is concentrated.
Gangbuk is a symbol.
A symbol of putting an end to destruction.
Gangbuk had to be restored somehow.
And in order to restore Gangbuk, Cocoon’s power was absolutely necessary.
So, she had to speak while anticipating the repercussions she would have.
“─With the Cocoon installed in Gwangju, we are going up to Seoul. Everyone knows that.” “”””… … !!””””
“I will take full responsibility, so hurry up and bring me the cocoon from Gwangju.”
That is the role of a fairy.
Take on all responsibility.

If you can’t choose the best.
Avoid the worst and choose the lesser evil.
Because that will soon be the next best thing.
☆
Baek Seo-jin laughed.
His laughter had two meanings.
One of them was that I didn’t know that Eunha would be so exciting after finding the DM clan, killing half the clan lord, and stealing the clan’s token from him.
The other one came as a surprise attack and showed a truly arrogant attitude in a gathering of qualified people.
“─I’ll skip it for once. If you do something like this again, you will pay a fair price.” “Yes, sorry.” “Okay, take a seat. Then, let’s start the meeting now.”
Yongsan-gu and Jung-gu.
In both constituencies, the Changhae Clan was disbanded and the representatives were constantly changing. Unlike other constituencies, the skills of the clan lords are poor, and there is no force that can unite them.
Of course, this was also the work of clans from other districts, including the Mana Management Organization.
From the Mana Management Organization’s point of view, they hoped that there would no longer be a person in the Seoul area who could claim to be a ‘monarch’, and other local clans hoped that their positions would be guaranteed forever.
In any case, being in such a situation, most of those present did not find it strange that Noh Eun-ha appeared as the representative of Yongsan-gu, a district where representatives frequently change.
That looks like seniors. Are you saying that a guy who hasn’t had any free time yet is volunteering to be the representative of his district?
That guy is really arrogant. That guy is next to Mapo-gu… .
I’ve heard the story before, but it’s so bad.
So the DM Clanlord got hit? Isn’t that guy going to take my place?
Of course, there were exceptions.
Dangun Clan Lord Jang Bong-jeon, whose influence has been decreasing recently, is busy resolving the grievances of local clans.
KK Clan Lord <Beast Tamer>, which has jurisdiction over Mapo-gu. Hwangsan-gun.
Samra Clanlord <Earth Dragon>, who only recently took complete control of Gwangjin-gu. Chong Eun-ju.
Hanseong Clan Road <Pungungeom> in Jung-gu, which was once under the jurisdiction of the Changhae Clan.
They were the clan lords of the clan who were directly or indirectly influenced by the actions of the Pandora Clan.
“Before the meeting begins, there is something that only the people here should know. “I don’t want you to go anywhere and talk about it.”
“”””… … .””””
“This morning, <Cheolong> passed away. While the protection magic was in effect, a 3rd tier monster came close and ended up affecting <Cheolong>. This happened while a large-scale magic was being deployed, so it caused a mana surge.”
Baek Seo-jin’s words fell out.
He reported the death of <Cheol-ong>.
People were silent.
No one seemed surprised, and most had dark expressions.
I guess everyone expected it. As the protection magic suddenly disappeared, something strange happened to
They were experienced people.
There is no way they could not have predicted the death of <Cheol-ong>.
Eunha, who looked at people’s facial expressions, also expected this to some extent.
Moreover, even when convening the representatives, didn’t Baek Seo-jin declare the convocation on behalf of <Cheol-ong>?
Even so, <Cheolong>’s death had many meanings.
<Cheol-ong> has been regarded by people as the person who will protect them forever.
So, if the news of his death spreads, it would be like pouring fuel on the already bad public order and public sentiment.
I also understood Baek Seo-jin’s order to keep quiet until the situation calmed down.
Then—.
“─<Cheolong> Where are you now?”
Unlike the memories Eunha knows.
In this life,
He is <Shinchang> He learned sword fighting from Namgung Seong-un’s school, and through that relationship, he also had a special relationship with Cheol-ong.
That’s why he asked where the remains of <Cheol-ong> were.
Baek Seo-jin responded with a sad face.
“He became Mana.” “”””… … .””””
He became Mana.
It also meant that people died and returned to nature, but Baek Seo-jin’s words were somewhat different.
It meant that the body was reduced to mana and disappeared, like when a demon or a monster dies.
How is that possible?
No matter how much mana surge was caused, if it hadn’t been transformed into a monster, the body wouldn’t have disappeared, right?
Eunha had a doubt.
Some people did the same.
They tilted their heads.
However, Ji Yong-hyeon seemed to have an idea to some extent.
“No way… . <Cheolong> Are you… .”
“Yes, it could not endure the myth and eventually died and drank. “This story will end here.”
Ji Yong-hyeon’s face distorted.
Baek Seo-jin hurriedly finished speaking.
Then people couldn’t understand the story they were exchanging.
However, due to the atmosphere of the two people, they were unable to speak.
Couldn’t stand the myth? What does that mean?
Is it a metaphorical expression? .
Eunha also could not resolve her doubts.
It seemed like only Baek Seo-jin and Ji Yong-hyun knew the story.
Considering their mood, I still had doubts, but I decided to move on.
The reason Eunha and the people attended this meeting was not to dig into the death of <Cheol-ong>.
It was to counter the forces that would try to invade Gangbuk again.
“─Then, Controller Moraul. “I want you to start the briefing.” “Yes, yes! Acting Minister!”
“”””… … .””””
The 12 Zodiac signs, which have been quietly buried in a corner, are known as “Big Data”. Morayul suddenly got up from his seat.
Her face was very haggard.
Not surprisingly, Moraul was currently playing the role of integrating information coming from all over and producing statistics.
Twelve constellations <Index> Just as Seongjin Yoon was busy restoring her player library, she was also busy taking charge of the communication network on all fronts.
That is the navigator’s destiny.
When something happens, the busiest role is.
Eunha was able to anticipate a situation in which Mora Yul would be divided.
At that time, I made eye contact with Moraul.
“Hee hee!!”
“”””… … ?””””
Let’s make eye contact.
Morayul was scared and avoided it.
While people were confused, Eunha was able to understand why she was avoiding him.
Ah, you can’t even look at me properly because of what Ji said.
What did Mora Yul say last time?
Did he say that he would take full responsibility if Cocoon collapsed?
Eunha turned her head and shook her shoulders when she saw Morayul briefing her.
Perhaps because of his own remarks, Moraul’s face seemed so pale.
“… So, from what has been confirmed so far, it is estimated that there are a total of four corps commanders. Among them, one is the 4th tier monster, Captain Digger… .”
“I think people here would know that information.” “Ah… .”
“Controller Moraul. I’m not just talking about briefing you on the information you’ve gathered, I’m asking you to brief us on what we can learn from the information we’ve gathered. Didn’t you understand what I said?”
“Well, that… . Sorry.”
“”””… … .””””
Meanwhile, Morayul’s briefing was to stimulate Baek Seo-jin’s heart.
As expected, she made many mistakes while briefing Eunha while paying attention to her.
Of course, I stutter.
It is basic to mistake the page.
Moreover, the content of her briefing was merely a compilation of information that was being updated in the library.
It was enough for Baek Seo-jin to sigh.
“It may be something that can’t be helped. Controller Moraul must have been busy gathering information… .”
“… Sorry.”
“Okay, then let’s just find out information about them. Controller Moraul, would you please give me information about the whale-type monster that is presumed to control the entire army?” “Acting Minister, that’s… .” “Is something going on?”
“No information about this monster has been compiled yet. It’s a monster that hasn’t been registered in the library, and to collect information, you have to listen to the testimonies of people who faced the monster… .”
“But? “Isn’t it okay to just listen?”
“The problem is… . “Everyone is speaking subjectively, but there is a lack of information that can be understood objectively.”
Mora Yul is completely broken by Baek Seo-jin.
People just awkwardly rummaged through the materials on the table.
Naturally, Morayul became depressed and lowered his head.
Right then─.
“─Can I tell you something?” “”””… … .””””
“… Yes, Pandora Clanlord. I am not allowed to speak.”
Eunha gently raised her hand.
Morayul opened his eyes round.
People turned to him, wondering what was going on.
Baek Seo-jin nodded.
At this, Eunha opened her mouth.
“I fought that monster a few times yesterday.”
“… I see. Of all the people here, the person who knows the most about that monster is probably the Pandora Clanlord.”
“Come to think of it, there was a story like that. Okay, say it once.”
Tempest Clanlord Kang Ye-hee, who was present at the right time, helped Eunha.
Eunha thanked her and spoke to the audience.
“So… . I thought I could help to some extent. The same goes for other monsters. “Our navigator is waiting outside the door right now. Can he come in?”
A little while ago, I received a call from Seona Jin.
Hayang Jeong came up from Samgakji and has now arrived in front of the conference room.
Eunha tactfully asked for understanding.
Now the crowd’s attention turned to Baek Seo-jin.
“─Okay, tell them to come in.”
Baek Seo-jin looked at him closely and immediately raised the corners of his mouth.
☆
Pandora Clan navigator Jeong Ha-yang was <The Seed> of the Twelve Zodiac <Index>.
As a result, the people present did not seem to know her.
“I’m nervous, but I’ll ask you a favor.” “What is this? “I came in a hurry after hearing that I had to come right from Samgakji, so you asked me to give a briefing in front of everyone here?”
Hayang Jeong walked to the place where Mora Yul was briefing.
Eunha followed her and grumbled in a low voice.
However, she quickly changed her expression and started briefing.
“This is Pandora Clan sublord Jeong Hayang. Let’s start the briefing now. I would like to inform you that there has been a correction to what Controller Moraul said a little while ago. As Controller Morayul said, the corps commander who appeared in the Samgak area today is Captain Duterbi, a 4th rank soldier. However, based on what I discovered in the field, the monster that was first confirmed to have occurred in the Philippines is believed to be a subspecies that has adapted to the Korean environment. In fact, as a result of a simple analysis of the poison released from the giant tortoiseshell… .”
“”””… … .””””
Although I kept an eye on Eunha.
When the briefing began, Ha-yang Jeong did not show any signs of nervousness even when facing high-ranking people.
Rather, she explained things smoothly and kept people focused while excluding unnecessary information as much as possible.
“… So, I think we still have to wait and see the results, but I think you should be careful of its poisonous attack when you encounter the giant tortoiseshell. As of now, no magic has been created that can cure the tortoiseshell’s poison, even if it delays the poisoning.”
It seemed like he had prepared a lot when he came.
She calmly discussed her thoughts while providing information.
Several people who were impressed after hearing her explanation nodded.
“Okay… , I heard the explanation well. Good. Then, shall we hear some information about that whale this time?” “… yes. I was just about to explain.”
At that time, Baek Seo-jin spoke.
Jeongha paused for a moment.
She nodded slowly and squinted at Eunha.
It’s okay, you can do well.
Eunha had passed on the information she knew to Jeong Hayang in advance.
And based on his information, she would have researched the library and analyzed Ye Jing.
Eunha believed her.
Sure enough, she said.
“Although data is still lacking, it is estimated that this monster is commanding three corps commanders. In the case of the giant tortoiseshell, its intelligence is low, but given that it invaded the triangle, it probably received instructions from this monster. Moreover, the time when the monsters retreated was also after this monster retreated. Current <index> As a result of discussion with you, it is estimated to be 3rd tier overrank.” “<Index>… . Are you in contact with Seongjin?”
“Communication is not good, but it is becoming spotty.”
“Okay, keep saying it.”
“Yes. According to what has been confirmed so far, the monster is identified as a gray whale type, and it is presumed that instructions are being given to the monsters through ultrasonic waves. People here probably also heard a strange sound in the sky. That would be the sound of giving instructions to a monster.”
Afterwards, Hayang Jeong continued the briefing.
It was explained that the monster could use jamming magic to cause a mana surge in players.
It was also said that its jamming had the power to even disrupt telepathy.
It was also explained that it not only has a stealth function, but also has magic that can cause omnipresence in the area it passes through or bombard an area.
People became serious about this.
“─Therefore, based on the fact that it has a magic that causes omnipresence and disrupts the players’ magic, I used the characters Ye (濊) for clouds and Gyeong (鯨) for whales to place the monster in the 3rd tier overrank as of this time. I suggest you call it .”
So she finished her explanation.
I proposed a name for a new 3rd tier overrank monster that could be considered an achievement for the navigator.
“Hmm, it’s Yegyeong… .”
Cloudy yes, Sir Whale.
Therefore, Yegyeong.
People’s reaction wasn’t bad.
Baek Seo-jin, who muttered the name Ye-kyung in his mouth, stroked his chin as if he was satisfied.
“─Yes, it’s called Yegyeong.”
“Thank you!”
Eventually, Baek Seo-jin gave permission.
Jeong Hayang, who had her true worth recognized, lowered her head with a happy face.
“Well, the briefing is over, now let’s talk about how we are going to deal with these guys.”
The names of the corps commanders decided at the meeting that day were as follows.
3rd tier overrank Yekyung.
Level 3: Freak Sphinx.
Tier 3 Caesar Hopper.
4th Hierarchy Triangle Captain Doutubi.
☆
“─Since we don’t know where and how the army will appear, we can’t give movement orders to each clan.”
The meeting continued for a long time.
As people discussed each other’s strategies, they ultimately came to the conclusion that each region’s representative clan should faithfully defend the region.
in principle
It was a story.
Baek Seo-jin clicked his tongue as if he didn’t like it.
But it was unavoidable.
Now that Cocoon had collapsed, it was impossible to know where the monsters would invade.
Each clan had no choice but to do its best and closely cooperate with clans in nearby areas.
“But Ye-kyung, this guy is the most dangerous. This guy appears everywhere, so we need a flexible response. so… , Zenith Clanlord.” “Yes, Acting Minister.”
“Unlike the other twelve, you should only focus on dealing with Ye Jing. “Because Hyuncheol and Dojin are not here, you are the only dealer among the twelve who can deal with him.” “Yes, I understand. “I will lead the players and clan members located in Jongno-gu to be fully prepared.”
An army disintegrates if its commander is killed.
Therefore, it was important to defeat Ye Gyeong, who commanded a huge army.
Baek Seo-jin’s thoughts made sense, and Ji Yong-hyeon did not raise any objections.
─Whiiiiieeeeaaaaaaaoooo
And so the second night approaches.
