86. Wake Up! Wake Up!86. Wake Up! Wake Up!
"Transform the Avalon Empire!"
"Transform the Avalon Empire!"
"Transform the Avalon Empire!"
The operations team was fuming as they watched the monitor screen showing demons and humans protesting together.
When the demons first appeared, they thought our game was over, but that wasn't the end of it.
They nearly fell over backwards when the sky split open and the Demon King revealed herself.
With the average ranker level at 70, they couldn't even defeat a single demon with a baron-level title, so they never expected the Demon King to appear.
The Demon King, who extremely disliked leaving the Demon King's castle even in the demon realm.
Just as they were about to take out the alcohol they had secretly brought into the company, unable to bear it sober, Traveler No. 1 appeared.
And for the first time, Traveler No. 1 looked pretty to them.
Although she always brought trouble, at least the worst-case scenario was avoided.
If the demons had launched a full-scale attack on the Avalon Empire, the angels in the celestial realm wouldn't have stood idle either. They would have joined the battlefield, turning it not into a human-demon war, but a celestial-demon war.
If that had happened, all travelers would have been killed, and our company's bulletin board would have been terrorized.
Saying, "Is this what you call an event?"
"What's the mood like among the travelers who sided with the Avalon Empire?"
"Not good. It seems to be going in the exact opposite direction of what they expected."
The monitor screen captured the faces of those who had expected war, now filled with bewilderment and disappointment.
At that moment, a group of travelers started moving.
As they approached the demon side that was protesting, they took out red flags from their inventory...?
"Turn up the volume a bit."
"Yes, Team Leader."
The voices of the travelers approaching the demons flowed from the monitor screen.
"We were wrong! Please take us back, Comrade Yuna!"
Hearing those words, Traveler No. 1, Yuna, revealed herself among the demons.
They expected her to turn them away, but she smiled brightly and extended her hand.
"You're always welcome, comrades."
The main scenario quest was to protect the Avalon Empire, but that doesn't mean there's no reward for choosing the other side.
What matters most is how much you contribute to the scenario quest.
As a result, numerous travelers who judged the empire to have no future started defecting to the demon side one by one.
Sensing this trend, the imperial side tried to stop them from leaving, but fierce protests turned the situation into chaos.
"Haha, it's a mess both inside and out."
Laughing helplessly, just as they were about to take a sip of the alcohol in the bottle, it was snatched away.
"Team Leader! Alcohol during work hours? Absolutely not!"
"Please, just one drink! I can't bear it sober!"
The operations team has no operational authority, so there's nothing they can do, but they still have to take responsibility.
No authority and only responsibility in this situation, and they're told to endure it sober!?
As they were lamenting while watching the monitor, the master-level knights of the Avalon Empire finally revealed themselves one by one, seemingly finished with their meeting.
Among them, one of the ten masters known as the First Sword.
Adonis Ether, the Duke who owns the holy sword, approached the demon side.
"Sound! Turn up the sound!!!"
"Yes, yes! Team Leader!"
As they turned up the volume to the maximum, even whispers could be heard.
"The imperial side is prepared to provide maximum convenience."
With those words, he handed over a parchment.
The leader of the Red Revolution Group and the culprit of this incident, Player No. 1 Yuna, checked the parchment and smiled brightly.
Are they negotiating?
At that moment, an unexpected event occurred.
The parchment was torn, and Duke Adonis Ether showed a surprised face. S~eaʀᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Then, voices rang out.
"Workers do not compromise!"
"Workers do not compromise!"
"Workers do not compromise!"
After laughing helplessly, the Duke's expression turned angry, and Demon King Echidna approached him.
"How dare you frown in front of whom?"
In the face of the Demon King's power that made him kneel in an instant, the master knight showed a helpless appearance.
As a result, the situation rapidly deteriorated.
"W-wait a moment! Demon King! I'll handle this!"
"Will you now?"
The Demon King's eyes were sharp, but a faint smile played on her lips.
The Demon King smiling while patting a human's head.
I've never seen such a sight in my life.
No, it's my first time seeing a Demon King.
Yuna approached the fallen Duke and extended her hand.
"I'll say it once more. You hold all the authority, right Duke? The Emperor must have fled by now."
Her voice was tinged with a sense of victory.
"How did you know such confidential information..."
The Duke muttered with a face stained with shock and fear.
Yuna smiled wickedly and held out a paper.
Her eyes seemed to be making an offer that couldn't be refused.
Although they looked like a grandfather and granddaughter, the scene was eerily contrasting.
Scary, so scary.
"Team Leader, if the negotiation wraps up here..."
"Then that's for the better. It won't get complicated."
If bloodshed were to occur, it would be the end of everything.
Even at the cost of some losses, proceeding with negotiations immediately is the only way for the Avalon Empire to survive.
The Duke signed with a grim face, as if he had made up his mind, and with that, the notification that the scenario quest had ended rang out.
[You have successfully protected the Avalon Empire.]
Rankings based on contribution are being measured.
Please wait a moment.
No.1: Private (Red Revolution Group)
No.2: Private (Red Revolution Group)
No.3: Private (Red Revolution Group)
No.4: Private (Red Revolution Group)
No.5: Private (Red Revolution Group)
Rewards will be given based on contribution.
[Channels will normalize in 1 minute after the quest ends.]
Although all rankings were set to private, everyone would know who was first.
More importantly, why does it say Red Revolution Group!? There's no point in making it private then!
As a result, the Red Revolution Group and the demons were celebrating.
"Unity! Unity! Unity! Unity! Unity! Unity! Unity!"
"Struggle! Struggle! Struggle! Struggle! Struggle! Struggle! Struggle!"
"Unity! Unity! Unity! Unity! Unity! Unity! Unity!"
"Struggle! Struggle! Struggle! Struggle! Struggle! Struggle! Struggle!"
It was a celebration that was maddening just to look at.
Ugh, my stomach hurts. I should take some antacid.
"But we did protect the Avalon Empire, didn't we?"
"Yeah, we did protect it."
Into a situation where we don't know what kind of bloodshed might occur.
With the Emperor fleeing and abandoning the empire, the revolution group will probably make their move.
And it's the Red Revolution Group at that.
Are they going to take over our game at this rate?
They won't. Or will they? Have they already taken over?
Laughing helplessly, I checked the bulletin board, and it was chaos there too.
The travelers who managed to switch sides to the Red Revolution Group at the last minute were in a festive mood.
Those who couldn't were busy cursing at the operations team.
Ah, responsibility without pleasure. It hurts my heart.
"Just read me some of the bulletin board posts."
"Wouldn't it be better if you didn't know?"
"I still need to know. We're the operations team, after all."
An employee took out a Woohwang Cheongsimwon from their pocket and handed it over.
I had no words for the look that asked, "You carry this around?" and the reply that they bought one for the Team Leader.
"Then I'll begin."
[Is this really how you operate, operations team!?]
Be honest, isn't the leader of the Red Revolution Group actually the daughter of the game company's president!? How else could she monopolize the main scenario quest?
