never thought a day like this would come!
X was smiling happily on the inside.
‘As expected, investing gold was worth it.’
It was expected that at most about 1,000 people would immigrate. However, incidents that occurred in various places increased anxiety, and as a result, the number of residents who decided to emigrate increased rapidly.
Hopeful voices are heard from everywhere.
“Mom, is this the house we will live in from now on? I think it’s much better than the house I lived in before. One, two, three rooms… Wow, then I have my own room?!”
“Oh, it’s sturdy and sophisticated. A blacksmith shop made with this kind of technology. “I’ll have to work hard not to be ashamed of this!”
“Water is flowing in Ma Village!”
Xernis’ overwhelming technological prowess!
To its residents, the restored Xernis seemed like a futuristic city. Hard march and some anxiety. Even if my happiness level dropped right now, this was a great save.
“Usually the happiness level of a territory is maintained at around 70%.”
Xernis, full of hope!
Toddle.
The Dongle people were performing their role as seniors properly.
“Human jji. Stop touching your cheeks and listen to me. The fields of Xernis were extremely fertile. There is no need to provide fertilizer or anything else. “Are you sure you’re listening?”
“Hehe, I’m listening correctly.”
“Wow, my prediction was right.”
Explorer guild members and residents are fascinated by the Dongle tribe!
Yongyong was also very excited. He proudly showed off his dragon form in front of the users.
“I never thought I would touch Yongyong.”
“You never know when an opportunity will come again. Even if it’s just to take a commemorative photo.”
“Kyuut kyuut.”
Praise me more.
I really thought I couldn’t stop X.
“If that becomes a bad habit, you’ll be in big trouble.”
Yongyong has grown to the point where discipline is impossible! As X was trying to shake off his worries, Asus came up with an excited look on his face and spoke in an excited voice.
“Our lord is so amazing. “Life has become much better than when I arrived, right?”
“Nothing is impossible in Xernis.”
Because there are ghosts who never get tired and the Dongle tribe who are natural workers. Of course, this only applies when backed by gold. Asus nodded to X’s answer.
“It’s kind of obnoxious, but I don’t have anything to say.”
floating.
A rising light. Asus expressed admiration for the vibrant night view of Xernis. X, who was also admiring the scenery, opened his mouth.
“Is there any information about Chan’s Nest?”
“Channest? What happened is that there were no eyewitnesses. “I searched for users, NPCs, and even monsters, but found nothing.”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
These are guys who have lived for eons and are looking for opportunities. I won’t make the clumsy mistake of leaving a witness behind. While X was thinking, Asus tilted his head.
“But there was a rumor that it was a bit controversial.”
“rumor?”
“If the lives of Channest residents were the goal. “It’s right to carry out work at a time when people can’t see it as much as possible.”
X nodded and Asus scratched his chin.
“But the time when the residents of Channest evaporated was just after noon, and that wasn’t enough, right after the Arba soldiers on their march passed by.”
“…!!”
“Well, they say it’s dark under the lamp, but why did they do it then? Thanks to this, some people think this incident is a declaration of war against the kingdom.”
We know this information because Asus has reliable sources of information in every town. But that was all. Asus couldn’t hear X’s muttering to himself.
“…It’s you again.”
A person who can dominate and control Arba soldiers.
This time, it was Arba’s white mask.
In some ways, it was fortunate. Because the number of suspects has not increased. But on the other hand, I was worried. White Mask is someone who contributed greatly to the destruction of the ancient kingdom.
‘What are you planning?’
What kind of trick did they use? It was not easily predictable. Anyway, it was harvest. X immediately relayed the information to Sioras and added it to Asus.
“I think something pretty loud will happen soon. “Please ask for various information like you do now.”
“Hey, even if you don’t say anything, you’re doing it on your own. Even at this very moment, information is pouring in through whispers? Let’s see…?!”
Suddenly, the eyebrows of Asus, who was operating the system, twitched. Whispers containing big and small rumors and news about Fate. Among them, there was one whisper that particularly caught my attention.
Asus opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“X No matter how you look at this, it seems like a piece of trash that needs to be checked. “Even if it’s a joke, I’m saying it because I feel like it needs to be said, so listen carefully.”
Asus swallowed dry saliva and continued speaking.
“Kaimus announced that he is leaving War Machine.”
“what?”
X couldn’t believe his ears for a moment. This is the war machine that he took over after driving him out. Are you willing to step down from the position of leader of War Machine?
‘wait for a sec.’
Yes, it would have been incomprehensible just a few days ago. Even if it wasn’t as good as before, it was hard to find a guild as good as War Machine.
Kaimus, whose greed exceeds his own, would not have let go of War Machine under any circumstances.
Nevertheless, if he had left War Machine, Kaimus would have gained ‘something bigger’ than the position of leader of War Machine.
X could figure out what it was.
X muttered lowly.
“…That was a human sacrifice for you, Kaimus?”
Now I can be sure.
Kaimus joined hands with the white masked admirer.

The strongest guild war machine!
Even though the position of the strongest player was lost to Songwol and then to X, there was no one who denied that War Machine was the strongest guild.
Top rankers leading to Kaimus Resorcerer Dazel.
It was a war machine that had numerous rankers, excluding those who were original members. The number of mage rankers they have reached 150.
In a word, they are Fate experts who have experienced all kinds of hardships.
But at this moment, War Machine was agitated. Spacen, one of the restless executives, could not control his anger. He brushed away his flowing bangs.
“I’m not saying we’re joking right now. Does it make sense to suddenly leave War Machine? “Damn it, who are we in War Machine for?”
Spacen was a guild master who led a mid-sized guild. He joined War Machine along with his guild members at Kaimus’ suggestion. Dazel, who was listening, chuckled.
“It’s sad, it’s sad. Anyone who sees them will think they are lovers. But what can I do? “It was just a one-sided unrequited love with no reason to break up.”
“This bastard wants to see him!”
“Let’s not do anything we’ll regret.”
As Jiri Dazel warned, Spasin forced himself to suppress his anger. It didn’t seem like we would lose at the same level, but there were a lot of eyes watching. The faces of the War Machine executives were gloomy.
Pout.
Jiseon, the woman with her lips out, spoke.
“In a good way, it means that I will come down from the front line and observe. As Dazel said, nothing was discussed with us. “Ha, that’s the extent of our existence.”
“It felt like he was distancing himself from us after the Siege of Veneta…”
“Has anyone been in contact with Kaimus, inside or outside?”
silence.
Among those gathered, not a single person responded. It was just as Dazel said. It was unrequited love. Kaimus left War Machine on his own. It was a unilateral notification without consulting anyone.
Dazel quietly raised the corner of his mouth.
‘Is this your second captain? What did you get your hands on this time that made you abandon us?’
He betrayed X, and now he betrayed War Machine.
I was glad I ended the relationship a long time ago. The more Dazel thought about it, the wiser he felt. Still, I didn’t forget to check the surrounding air.
‘A war machine whose leader has disappeared.’
Although it may be shaken for a moment, the fact that it is the strongest guild does not change. Because the damage suffered by rival Pajukjise was much greater than Kaimus’ declaration of withdrawal. Dazel’s desire began to stir.
‘I can’t believe it went down on its own without any trouble. I couldn’t be more grateful.’
Leader of War Machine!
With Kaimus’ withdrawal, Dazel’s goal has become closer.
Of course, it is not easy. As I said, the executives of War Machine are veterans of Fate who have been through many hardships. But isn’t it better than dealing with Kaimus?
Dazel, who was thinking, opened his mouth.
“The captain does not change his decision once he has made it. You all know it well, right? So what I’m saying is that we can’t keep dragging our feet forever. “We have a war machine.”
“That is correct. Apart from Kaimus, we are the executives of War Machine. “We need to correct the war machine that is shaking both internally and externally.”
Mars, whose soft white robes contrasted with his solid black skin, answered as if he had been waiting.
I was expecting it to come out like that. I remembered the information from Dazel’s Mars.
‘A named player, one of the top five healers. His ambition is as great as his position. ‘Did you say your dream was to build a building in New York?’
Enemies with specific goals are tricky.
Aside from Mars, there were many executives who agreed with Dazel. Of course, Spacen was one of them. He declared clearly, glaring at Dazel.
“I don’t ever see a bastard sitting on top of me.”
Eleven including Spacen.
This was the number of executives who showed interest in becoming the next leader to succeed Kaimus. Dazel looked at their faces. As expected, they are formidable opponents.
But I was confident.
‘Except for Kaimus, you are all in the palm of my hand.’
In fact, Dazel, an original member of War Machine, had great influence within the guild.
There was no reason for ordinary guild members to dislike Dazel, who was friendly to everyone, even though he was disliked among the executives due to his crooked attitude.
But Dazel had overlooked it.
“Ohh?”
Suddenly, someone came out in front of Dazel. An expressionless face as usual.
The Resorcerer’s cold gaze turned to Dazel. She said in a dry voice.
“I will participate too.”
“you? What’s going on? “I put all my greed into the position.”
Although he responded jokingly, Dazel frowned internally.
Now that Caimus the Resorcerer is gone, he is the most difficult guy in War Machine.
Because I didn’t see any flaws in her, whether it was her skills or her reputation. I thought there would be no interest in Gamtu, but the most annoying competitor has appeared.
“What do you know? Does this make twelve? “Anyway, it’s really surprising.”
The Resourcer didn’t bother to answer. Again. He immediately left the conference room, leaving the surprised executives behind. The Resourcer was thinking to himself.
‘We can’t let War Machine fall.’
For her, War Machine was a guild that exchanged really precious things. I no longer wanted to regret things like I did in the past. So we couldn’t let War Machine destroy itself. The Resourcer who was walking down the hallway smiled bitterly.
‘I’ll hold your seat for a while until you come back.’

Squishy.
X was chewing on a dried kraken leg on the table. His gaze was fixed on the parchment. X was waiting for Sioras’ reply.
‘Caimus gained something through human sacrifice.’
Something so great that I gave up on War Machine.
What on earth is that?
To achieve an overwhelming victory, information about the enemy is essential. Especially if the enemy is related to another being. After waiting for so long, the letters written on the parchment began to scatter in the air.
‘You confirmed it.’
Immediately, Sioras’s writing began to appear on the parchment. X concentrated enough to stop eating and looked at the parchment.
For a moment, X’s brow twitched.
“A demon?”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
