Tak, tak, tak, tak.......

Only after they were all gone did Alexander stop charging. The light emitted from the spear faded in line with his slowly stopping footsteps.

[Alexander!]

“Bailephus.”

In the place where Faust and all the undead disappeared, only traces of the emperor’s tracks remained.

“We need to contact Ha Leeha.”

[Do it right now.]

Faust ran away not long after Lee Jiwon and Ram Hwajeong retreated.

Leeha: Come again?

After receiving the whisper, Leeha just wanted to cry.

He just got a call from Lee Jiwon and Lim Hwajeong.

And what else is Alexander saying now?

“Did I miss anything..?! No, I didn’t miss anything.”

“What, what’s wrong with your face? Are you listening?”

Ram Hwayeon spoke to Leeha without knowing what was going on. Leeha summarized the current situation.

‘It’s accidental, but considering the war, at least two teams have almost been killed. But none of the teams- however, even Alexander couldn’t catch Faust?’

At least Alexander was able to drive Faust away.

It meant that if it wasn’t for Kuzgunak’sh’s interference, Bailephus could have blocked the space.

But what about the other two teams?

‘Lee Jiwon and Ram Hwajeong had a tie- no, they are prideful so they said it was a tie... but they lost.’

The individual battle score was 1:2.

It was as if the board of the subjugation operation against the Demon King’s army, which Leeha had barely gained the upper hand, had suddenly tilted.

“Ram Hwayeon-ssi, I need to go and take a look.”

“What? Where?”

“Look at the city for a while. Sorry.”

“Ha Leeha?! Wait-! Where are you going-”

Shyuuk-! Leeha momentarily looked at the friend’s window and immediately activated the crystal ball.

“Huuk, huuk, huuk....... Crowley? Igor?”

“Kyahahaha! You’re late! You told us to come here-”

“Shh. Shut up and check first. The same goes for you, Igor. Have you contacted Chiyou?”

“What are you talking about, you damned lizard?”

“Have you ever contacted Chiyou?! Or, I want you to check to see if any of Chiyou’s spies have followed you!”

Faust also contacted Crowley and Igor right before escaping from Alexander, so it was not unusual for them to meet.

Igor and Crowley, who arrived first, had a triumphant look on their faces, but Faust prioritized checking.

“No! Go to the tavern that high-demand bitch and play properly-”

“No, we will do no such thing in the future. At least as long as we belong to the Demon King’s army.”

Faust mercilessly cut off Crowley’s excited words.

Hearing the conversation, Igor grinned and smiled.

“I see. You mean that damned whore sold us out?”

“Probably....... All the places we were staying were provided by her.”

Faust gritted his teeth and muttered. Only then did Crowley realize the seriousness of the situation.

“Waaa? Come to think of it, it really is like that! Chiyou told me about it, and it was a secret that no one knew about! The 1st, 2nd, and 9th rankers appeared as if they had been waiting for us!”

“Did you say Ha Leeha disappeared again?”

“Yes.”

“Call all of Shinobi-gumi. Stop everything you’re doing and focus on a new target.”

“..I don’t know how to say it but, is Bluebeard that important?”

“Of course. That NPC is the center of Middle Earth [Phase 2]! How long will we live under the control of trash NPCs or users? If we want to be able to hold this continent we need to get in touch with NPCs like that.”

“I understand. Then the new targets...”

Sasuke did not finish his words.

The subordinate, who completely trusted her judgment, waited for a new order from her.

“The Three Musketeers, Ha Leeha, Kidd, and Luger. Fibiel’s NPC Browless, Alexander, Lee Jiwon, and Ram Hwajeong. And the Demon King’s army or the demon noble monsters. In other words, spread the name of everyone involved in this case. You have to find them no matter what. Now that we know we can’t find Blue Beard ourselves, we have no choice but to follow them.”

“Understood!”

In the confrontation between the subjugation team and the Demon King’s army.

They had to hide, seek, and pursue, and they were playing hide and seek, pouring all their information, connections, and knowledge.

Another disadvantage for Chiyou was that she had a very wide field of vision. Having a wide field of vision would sometimes cause her to have a hard time seeing those who are hiding beneath her feet.

Chiyo couldn’t even guess who was in the huge new restaurant on the southwestern outskirts of Gaza City, exactly symmetrical with Chiyo’s pub located on the northeastern outskirts of City Kazua.

A building was under construction, southwest of the Gaza City.

It was a boutique Leeha had designed in order to bring profits, and was in progress at the same time as Ram Hwayeon’s urban restoration.

Its main purpose was to gather information, and at the time they would have never thought that it would be used as a hideout, but they instinctively felt that it was ‘Divine Intervention’.

Worker NPCs could be seen moving back and forth from time to time, but even they did not know what kind of people were gathered on the 3rd floor inside the building.

“Thank you, Madam.”

“It is nothing. You didn’t forget the tax rate benefit for 3 months, right?”

“That promise was related to the hatchling, right? I haven’t checked the data yet, so there’s no definitive answer... I will definitely repay you for providing me with a shelter like this.”

“Huhut, you are thorough. Still, I liked that side of Ha Leeha-ssi. Then, have a good time everyone! Don’t worry, I will stop other people from going up!”

Ju left the room winking at the gathered people.

Click- Leeha’s expression changed horribly at the sound of the door closing.

“Do you know what the situation is like now?”

Leeha’s voice was different from his usual voice.

The atmosphere made the people gathered in the room look at each other.

Of course, among them were Luger and Kidd, who were fiddling with their guns with expressions that made it seem like what was happening had nothing to do with them.

“I am sorry. The moment I saw Kuzgunak’sh’s undead form, I was not able to control myself. As an ancient, I feel like I lack diligence.”

Bailephus, wearing golden armor, was the first to speak speak. The gold dragon bowed its head.

Alexander, who was next to him, also bowed lightly, but there was no way that Leeha’s anger could be relieved.

“No, that- Haaa....... Bailephus-ssi, you are over 5000 years old, aren’t you?! If you are that old, you should have – you should have endured such an important moment! You just needed to follow them! If you had followed them all the way to their gathering location, we could have wiped them out in one fell swoop! No, if you were going to be impatient, you should have at least killed Faust! You missed the chance-”

“......I am sorry.”

How many users could receive an apology from an ancient gold dragon?

However, no one in the room paid attention to that.

Lee Jiwon-ssi and Ram Hwajeong-ssi both have their own pride that got trampled on.

“Haaa... . What is that? Not only in terms of position difference, but also in terms of skill, but it is enough! You were about to lose and ran away like that.-”

“I didn’t lose. It’s a draw.”

“Hyung-nim! Did you just say I ran away?! Wasn’t Igor was on the brink of death?”

“Just admit it, no matter how many times you say it’s a draw, you lost. It’s because you ran away while fighting those who have lower skills..”

“Haha. You should have left that to me. What did you expect leaving it to shitheads? The one who came up with such a strategy is stupid.”

“Shut up, Luger. I don’t want to waste energy right now.”

Luger found it nice to see that people who have more fame than him got scolded by Leeha. He was smiling.

Leeha sent a whisper to Fernand, barely holding back his desire to hit Luger.
