Chapter 236: Delicious Expedition

The expedition set to rescue Prince Argon composed of 150 men and three commanders all set off. The three reinforcements each composed of 50 people under each of the commanders were all named. Eclei’s company was named ‘Iron Blood’, God of Death Bach’s was called ‘Reapers’ while Minhyuk’s company was named ‘Rice Supplement’.

Meanwhile, Bendiaz, the second highest in command after Minhyuk in the Rice Supplement troop, felt that everything was nonsensical.

‘Damn it! This person is our commander?!’

Are you telling us that war is a joke? All of the knights here had families waiting for them back home. But you’re telling us that we’ll be called ‘Rice Supplement’? What kind of fucking name is that?

“Bendiaz-nim, if you think that he’s not good at commanding then why don’t you just take it away?”

“Arthur. Her Majesty has her trust and faith in this man.”

Another knight from the back suddenly asked.

“But are we just going to die like this?”

“......Only time will tell.”

The knight beside Bendiaz who fell silent suddenly exclaimed.

“Eh?”

Bendiaz turned his head to look at the knight in question.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

“You can’t take command right away but if he made one mistake......”

The knights could understand each other with just that one sentence.

We’d rather get led by Bendiaz-nim than die.

Then, Benjamin looked at Minhyuk who was standing in front.

‘......How can a man like this be our commander?!’

And before they knew it, they had reached the Immortals’ Land Zone 1.

Self-sufficiency! This was one of the reasons why Immortals’ Land was so difficult. Eclei and Bach also brought the least amount of food because of this. In other words, they only brought beef jerky, nuts and the like. Food that was light and could make you feel full as much as possible!

“Ah! It’s really a terrible land!”

This was what Minhyuk said from the rear.

Eclei and Bach continued on to the front until their first battle began. Monsters started to appear one by one. There were at least 60 monsters in front of them and were monsters at Lv400. However, everyone was well aware that their strengths were far beyond that of their levels. In fact, the existing monsters in the Immortals’ Land were mostly ‘Immortal Ogre’ and ‘Immortal Trolls’. However, their appearance had changed.

“What’s this?”

“Is this the effect of the Demon World?”

The skin of the monsters in front of them was unusually dark!

Not long after, the clash between the monsters and the knights began.

Slash!

Stab!

Stab!

Grooooooowl!

Baaaaaang!

“Calmly attack the enemy! Knights! Take your square shield and block the front!”

“Knights! Listen to me, use your spears and pierce the ogres from the gaps of the square shields!”

The God of War Eclei and the God of Death Bach were the ones that were definitely in command. They had begun to clear up the mobs. That was when they knew that the monsters were already strong but they had grown stronger under the influence of magi.

Just when one of the knights was about to announce the successful completion of the first hunt of the subjugation by striking a blow at an ogre that was on the verge of collapse...

Swooooosh!

Thud!

“Keuheeeeeeck!”

“Yay! It hit!”

Eclei turned around to look at the ‘Rice Supplement’ from behind. He could see Minhyuk in front of the troops holding a bow that was covered in blue energy. It was at that moment when a notification rang in Eclei’s head.

At the same time, notifications also rang in Minhyuk’s head.

Even in ancient times, the most important thing was the final strike. They had told him earlier to back them up from the rear. And that was their big mistake.

“Hahaha. That’s a great bow. You’re an archer, aren’t you?”

Eclei smiled awkwardly.

It’s just one hit, so what?

And at that moment......

Another arrow pierced through an ogre’s neck. The ogre was definitely going to keel over and die with just another hit but the arrow was the one that took it’s life.

“Yayy! Bullseye!”

But they couldn’t bring themselves to do that since they were the ones who told him to fall back in the rear and that they could acquire and eat the items that they had the acquisition rights for. What was worse was that the Rice Supplement was not causing any disruptions in their battles. In a way, they were even eliminating the risks for them so they couldn’t say that they were ‘rudely’ acting up against them.

‘It’s one hell of a situation.’

And at that moment, Eclei saw that the wounds of his members were all recovering slowly. Even though their wounds were recovering very slowly, they were still recovering naturally.

During large scale battles, the commanders could choose to have the HP and MP bars of the NPCs under them float over their heads so they could see their situation.

“.....!”

It was obviously something that Eclei could only see. He could tell the reason straight away.

‘Th, the power of the mineral viridite......!’

The power of the minerals were not explicitly stated and you had to check it for yourself and it seemed like the mineral that was in his hands had the power of ‘natural recovery’.

‘This natural recovery skill......! It does not even consume any HP!!!!!!!’

Just as he was being surprised, there was also another person who was caught in surprise. It was none other than Bendiaz. Bendiaz watched as the knights shot their arrows from their bows.

‘Our knights can shoot arrows to some extent but can they really shoot this well?’

Knights would learn a variety of things from a young age. But right now, their skills looked like they had gone from ordinary to excellent. He was left in doubt. He did not know about it but it was because of the antarinium that was shining slightly from Minhyuk’s arms.

While Bendiaz was busy being surprised by something else, Minhyuk was hurriedly giving his orders.

“Luca, Cade, Perdy. You guys take care of the aggro!!”

“Yes!!!”

“Wh, who said something about being a stupid commander...... Isn’t he a genius commander......”

It seemed like he had used a trick of a veteran commander. The Iron Blood and Reapers suffered considerable damage as they fought in front. Meanwhile, they did not have any of the slightest injuries as they stayed behind and assisted from the rear.

The knights were all in a buzz.

“......Isn’t Commander-nim something?”

“Isn’t he better than what we expected?”

“Wow...... Amazing......!”

“We don’t get hurt and we even get the spoils, isn’t this completely amazing?”

And notifications started to go off on Minhyuk’s side.

Minhyuk heard Bendiaz muttering under his breath. He was running around earlier shouting ‘Yahoo! Assarabia Colombia!’ and plenty of other things like that. But he paused beside Bendiaz for a moment and said......

“We’re going for the fastest method with minimal damage and maximum profit.”

“.....!”

That was when Bendiaz realized that this person had planned everything.

Strangely enough, even though a person was good, people would only whisper about the bad or hateful things that he had done instead of his good deeds.

‘Ah. He’s changed now.’

‘He used to be nice but he doesn’t look like he’s doing anything good these days, right?’

What was even strange was that a person with a bad personality would speak about someone else’s good deeds.

‘Hey, he’s gotten a lot better lately~’

‘He’s gotten really nice lately. So cool. Just like a real handsome guy!’

Humans were truly strange animals.

From the very beginning, he had let them think differently. And when it came to their expectations, he met them differently from what they had expected.

‘This person took advantage of it!!!’

And Minhyuk received another set of notifications.

They continued their strategy again and again. In this way, the three companies moved on from the Immortals’ Land Zone 1. Along the way, Eclei found out that Minhyuk’s contributions were significantly higher than theirs. He could easily see since the contributions to God’s Bet could be checked anytime.

He thought that this couldn’t go on like this anymore so Eclei approached Minhyuk.

“Your support from the rear is truly remarkable.”

“Hehe. I’m pretty good, right?! Thanks.”

This man’s words are so annoying that I want to bite off his head.

Eclei laughed awkwardly as he continued to talk.

“From now on, don’t do LH and use your soldiers to attack the monsters head on. We’ll be able to take care of things more quickly this way.”

In other words, he was trying to tell him to stop doing LH and they would be the one who would do it. Bach and Eclei glared at him fiercely as if they were trying to pressure him. They were also under pressure since they were only able to eat up the items moderately.

The three companies had to go together. If they kicked out Minhyuk then they would have to move forward with only 50 people. If they did that, then they would definitely suffer and get annihilated. Once they were annihilated, Empress Ellie would definitely know that they were annihilated because they recklessly pushed him away.

In a way, this was some form of blackmail. They thought that since this man would gladly accept their terms since he looked like he was foolishly nice. But the man in front of them, Minhyuk, just grinned at them as he said.....

“But I don’t want to?”

Notes

LH (Last Hit) - originally written as 막타 which is abbr for 마지막 + 타격 which is literally final hit. It’s a term they usually use in LoL. Anyone who deals the last hit will get plenty of money, artifacts and drops. I don't play LoL so someone has to confirm if this info is really true. Huehue
