Chapter 546 00546 Steel Mountains!

Time flowed with arrows, and the last night came the day before departure.

The Clan House is quiet. Just then, I thought I'd have to replace the equipment, double check the preparations, etc., but it's really quiet today. Probably the day before departure, so it is thought to be spending the last night in their own way.

Just like me.

“Marya. ”

“Ahh. ”

Marty, sitting on his desk, blinks furiously and opens his little mouth. As she tucked one of the essences from the storage into it, she slowly began to taste the essence as her chubby cheeks burned. Well, well. You're eating well.

Tra nslated b y ｊp ｍtl .ｃo ｍ Mar, who then clicked his collar, shines and points to the remaining essences.

“Wow... Dad, Dad, what is this? ”

“Why? Is it good? ”

“Yes! It tastes amazing. It's like tasting the stars floating in the night sky. ”

“Haha. A star. ”

I laughed lightly at Mar's words, but I was slightly impressed. I've felt it before, but Mar's expression is quite accurate. No, not quite. Scary enough.

The essence I had just fed Mar was one of the castles of the dragon sleeping mountains, named Beatrice Stella. Seven flowers bloom during the 100-year age period on the earth where the blessing of the stars has been permeated, a very precious essence found in the rocks of those flowers.

Efficacy can only slightly increase the potential when taken, but there is a limit to the potential still to be developed. That means you can't see the benefits if you've developed all the potential. T r a nslat ed by Jp ｍt l .ｃoｍ

That's why they fed him. Mar is growing like a storm, which is scary.

After a while, Mar picks up another essence, tasting again. I was airborne. The benefits of Beatrice Stella do not allow duplication.

So as soon as I tried to stop it, I had to suddenly stop.

For a moment, Mar took the essence and stretched out his arms before me. Through the hand creased like a small egg, a stream of bright star-like energy flows out.

... Are you asking me to eat?

“Me too. Ahh. ”

“Marya, you can't eat this. You won't get much out of it if you try it. ”

“Hyo-wa? Mmm-hmm. Still, ahhhh. ”

“ ……. ”

Dry with open eyes. Soon, however, she shakes her head and glances at me with the eyes she hopes for, sliding her small, pointy ears.

Suddenly, I thought about it. Should I eat this or not?

Looking down at one side of the desk, you can see the remaining 5 essences.

- Just eat it. Your daughter gave it to you. Are you going to say no?

At that moment, a profound conflict in my mind brought a heartburn to my attention.

T r ans l at ed b y ｊpmtl.ｃ oｍ I cried my heart out in glare.

'Boo….'

- I'll kill you!

'…….'

- I'll kill you!

The voice of peace literally contained the will to kill. Then I remembered my old face almost burned off, and I calmly trimmed my stomach. The day before the start of the Steel Mountains, we can't just die.

-... but I'm really not telling you. What a guy.

What? What did you just say? '

- All right! You little twerp. That's enough, so eat quickly. There is a reason why the Elf Queen does what she does. And I'm at a loss of a point or two right now, and you're just trying to cover it up? We gotta get a straw!

'… there is a reason for your actions?'

Angry, he said. I didn't really understand why I was angry or what I was talking about, but I was able to make a decision soon.

Yeah, well, it's a personal performance anyway. Or it could just be personal greed. After all, I wasn't in any position to hide from you.

I thought that and then I ate the essence that Mar gave me.

Take Viatris Stella.

“Oh.”

T r an s l a te d by jp mtl.ｃ o m I touched my mouth a little. It's because the feeling of something bright suddenly filled my mouth when I filled it with essence. I can feel it bouncing at the same time. Is that why you described her as a star?

“Wow. Wow. ”

Is it really that good that I ate the essence? The puffy, dry smile reached out his arms with a smile in the bathroom. It means hug.

As I put my hand between my arms, I felt a lot heavier than before. Oh my. Did you just grow up again?

After a while.

I clapped my back in my arms for a while, and it didn't take long. "Ahem.” I hear yawning. As I looked down, I saw Mar rubbing his eyes with a slightly sleepy face. It was after a long time of sleep.

“Marya, shall we go to bed? ”

“Ugh. I don't want to snore yet. ”

“But you look sleepy. Come on, let's just sleep in your bed. Look, she's sleeping with Yumi, too, right? ”

“I don't want to. I'm going to stay with my dad today. ”

I pointed to the two beasts sleeping in their beds. However, Mar shakes his head vigorously while yawning. Rather, I even dug into my arms and grabbed my collar with my scruffy hands. Like I'd never let go.

I tilted my head. It felt a little, but subtle. Mar has never disobeyed me before. I never actually said no.

But for the first time since I was born, I have expressed my clear intention to refuse.

Just in case I thought, I was looking away, and soon Martha lifted her head and caught my eye. I knew I couldn't beat the rushing horse, but my eyelids were half covered. But still, my eyes are still staring straight at me.

Later, Marga Simurok opened her mouth as her loving ears began to sag.

“Dad.” T ra n s l a ted b y ｊp ｍ t l.com

“Huh?"

“Tomorrow... Are we going again? ”

“ ……. ”

I was silent for a moment. Just in case, Mardo knew.

You can't possibly not know. Almost every clan member since they got back to Monica has been shaking all over the place. I didn't know it until the other day, but I guess I spoke up the other day.

In fact, it's not the first time we've been away this long.

But today, I strangely like the word "again."

“I don't want my dad to go.... ”

Dry whispered in his little voice like a soliloquy, but I could hear it in my ears.

A awkward silence followed.

I opened my mouth quietly.

“I'm sorry.”

“… No. I'm sorry for being so grumpy. Dad."

Mardo apologized immediately, knowing he had no choice.

I felt a bit strange, but I kept sweeping away Mar's back. After a long time, Mar's head falters and the sound of a choke flows through his throat.

After seeing Marla fall asleep, I take a long sigh and look out the window.

One day, it was infinitely dark.

*

The next day.

Morning has dawned. The sky was clear as the Southern expedition celebrates its departure to the Steel Mountains today.

Speechless. Speechless.

Monica's South Gate has already been phosphorylated by users from all over the country. Users participating in today's attack. Users who are unable to participate but come to support the same clan member. Or just users who came to watch the departure, etc.

“The Mercenary Clan! The Mercenary Clan has arrived! ”

“Oh? Where? ”

It had just left the South Gate and so had the Mercenary Clan.

“That's all you have to do. From here, only the participating clans can enter. ”

“Yes, then Clan Lord. We're going to watch you leave. ”

“Very well, then. Take good care of the clan while I'm gone." User Cho Seung Woo. ”

“Hahaha. Don't worry about that. All you have to do is bring Clan Lord back." Well, it's still the Steel Mountains. Let me understand if I hurt you lightly. ”

Kim Soo-hyun smiled brightly as she passed the farm with a good smile. Behind such a Seungwoo Jo, there were almost thirty clan members who stood with various faces.

The most powerful among them was Cha Hee Young. I was staring at An-hyun with my eyes wide open. Did you feel Cha Hee Young's gaze? An-hyun wiped her cheeks and cleared her throat. What happened between the two of you?

“Be well. That's always the only thing I can say. ”

Lee Man-seong spit a weak cough and received Cho Seung-woo's words. Looking back for a moment, Kim Soo-hyun nodded gracefully.

“I won't say goodbye. We shared enough this morning, and they'll all come back anyway. It's just the same thing as always. ”

“I hope so. ”

“We'll be in a hurry, then, since we're almost there. If the top troops are late for the rally, they won't be that embarrassed. ”

“ ……. ”

Lee Man-sung closes his eyes without saying anything.

Finally, Kim Su-hyun immediately turned around and walked to the Southern expedition rally point. After that, 30 clans quietly chase after you.

No one opened their mouth. Those who will leave will leave, and those who remain will only see.

The rendezvous point of the Southern expedition is right outside the gates. Users who do not participate will not be able to leave the voiceprint. There were so many participants that in case we didn't know, we wanted to know the correct number of people.

Whether the machine was a little late, there were already thousands of users at the rally point.

However, the rally point was not more crowded than I expected. As the records show in the previous summons, the participating clans are each gathering for a seat. It was a glimpse of Han So-young's command.

Soon after that, when the Mercenary Clan, who was leading Kim Su-hyun, entered the rally point, a woman quickly greeted me. The pattern on his chest suggests that he was one of the Istantel Low Clan members.

“I'm joining the Mercenary Clan. 31 members in total.”

“Yes, I did. You know the deployment unit, right? ”

Kim Soo-hyun lightly patted her head as she quickly opened her mouth, sweeping the whole place.

“You'll have to go straight from the central unit. ”

The woman who said so soon turned to the rally point and chanted a voice amplification spell.

- 31 mercenary clans. Participation confirmed. Coming in now.

At that moment, the users gathered in the center, like the miracle of Moses, split to the left and to the right and opened the way for the machine to pass.

Kim Soo-hyun slowly walked in and immediately saw a woman standing in the middle. The woman wearing a red cloak in her dark armor was Han So-young, the "conductor of the battlefield."

Han So-young was facing Kim Soo-hyun with a polite face. Kim Soo-hyun paused.

“It's a little late. It's the same city, and you don't have to deal with it. ”

“No, not at all. You're 10 minutes early. The other clans got together very early. ”

“Are we there yet? Then start…. ”

“Just one more clan to go. I'm leaving as soon as I get here. ”

It was then.

- 215 Korans. Participation confirmed. Coming in now.

Earlier, the woman's voice rang and there was some clutter in the back. Rearrangements are made by the participation of the Koran coalition in charge of the rear.

This brings together all the clans that join the Southern expedition.

Soon, Kim Soo-hyun and Han So-young, who were looking at each other, nodded at the same time.

Han So-young immediately opened her mouth after chanting the spell.

- Ten minutes to liftoff. Make sure everyone finishes the batch in no time.

As Han Soyoung's voice rang, all users began to recheck the placement. Kim Soo-hyun, who thought that standing in the middle was minminmin-dong, led the clan members to the forefront and formed a camp. It was a staircase of proximity, archers, wizards, and priests.

By the time the placement was finished and all users had settled in.

- 36 clans in total. 3847 combat users. Residents, 454 non-combat users. The Southern expedition of the 2nd Steel Range. A total of 4301 participants were confirmed.

- Southern expedition. Head for the Steel Mountains.

After completing the report, Han So-young raised her hands and instructed her to leave. A deep voice echoes beautifully through the air.

Waaaahhhhhh!

Then the users who were watching became one and shouted a great cheer. At this moment, everyone was praying for the attack on the Steel Mountains.

In such cheer, cheer and prayer, the Mercenary Clan at the forefront, Kim Soo-hyun took the first step. Starting with that, users participating in the Southern expedition began to move quietly.

The attack on the Second Steel Mountains on the North Continent...

No, Kim Soo-hyun's second attack on the first Steel Mountains began.

And then three weeks later.

The Southern expedition, marching at full speed, was able to reach the Steel Mountains Outpost unmanned.

A real start to the Steel Mountains. Personally, I have a headache.

The last time we spoke, the Steel Mountains can be captured in four areas: It's okay to say that one of them is almost through. In the other three areas, there are big events, and there are lots of other events that are tied to it.

The first material that came to mind when I envisioned the steel mountains was E-SPORTS. I really liked Star Craft 1. We had pro-gamers cheering for us. (Terran, by the way, was a professional gamer. Hahaha.)

So, was it the Star Final when I was a kid? Or four-legged, by the way. It was probably a five-game three-line win to watch the game. I remember one of the two pro-gamers was Park Jung-seok. But it's a really intense game from the first round. for almost an hour, or more. (I don't remember the details.)

The commentator said that he remembered only one thing.

“No, it's the first game. First game. It's only the first game. How can you be so intense? What are we going to do with the rest of the game, and what are we going to do with the two players starting from the beginning? ”

I remember something like this, roughly.

That's where I came up with the idea of the Steel Mountains. If there's anything I personally want from the Steel Mountains Part, I want you to feel the same way.:)
