ACT 5 Special Attack Corps

Reinforcements?

Raiden asked with a frown.

Didnt you tell me a few days ago that the Nakujuk would be sufficient?

T-that is

Jewel stuttered an excuse on the other side of the handset.Well it was actually an excuse that he heard several times so far.Thanks to Ark, the rehabilitation group and the Dark Brothers, the Nakujuks conquest of the Netherworld had unexpectedly been halted.However, Jewel had refused Raidens support after they gained consecutive victories in the first few battles. Thats because Jewel would receive less shares of the Netherworld if she accepted Raidens help.But the situation had changed and the battles had become increasingly difficult.In addition, they didnt have an extra Letter Movement Orb so they couldnt accept reinforcements from the Nakujuk for the moment. But was that all? Every time Jewel, Duke and the Hermes guild participated in the battles, the situation became messy because they were smashed by Ark and Shambala.

So now you need my help with these issues.

Were really sorry.

Jewel replied in a weak voice, making Raiden sigh.

Okay, we cant afford to have our forces currently leave Silvana. Ill hire a few people from the mercenary guild and send them to you. But itll take them some time to go through the red wilderness. Can you hold out until then?

It is difficult to advance but they dont have enough to take us all out.

Then be patient.

Raiden hung up and immediately connected to New World. Thenhe used the gold reserves to hire mercenaries. He hired approximately 1,000 mercenaries which would be enough to change the situation in the Netherworld.

This is serious!

At that time, there were eyes watching them leave for the Netherworld.It was the foreign business manager of the Silvana trading post, Sid.Raiden had secretly hired and gathered the mercenaries but there was no large transfer of funds in Silvana that could escape Sids eyes.Ark had already guessed that Jewel would ask for help and assigned Sid to watch Raiden. And he passed this information straight to Ark.

-

Wah ah ah!

We managed to defeat those guys and retook Kurata canyon.

Commander JusticeMan, hooray!

It had been a week since the Nakujuk war started

In the meantime, they had fought five times in the canyon and the momentum seemed to be with the Baran as they drove the Nakujuk back. In addition to Ark and Shambala, the popularity of JusticeMan and the rehabilitation members also increased.

As expected, our decision to entrust this to you was completely correct.

The elders had completely become Arks followers.He disapproved of the sudden change in the elders attitude but who was he to complain about a good thing.

The victory in this battle is huge. Our approximate line of defense has been completed.

JusticeMan spoke with a satisfied expression as he looked at the map.Thanks to the victory just now, they could build ten guard towers on either side of Kurata canyon.The Nakujuk had no choice but to advance through Kurata canyon if they wanted to reach Haman Fortress.Of course, this didnt mean that the guard towers was absolute. If there werent any soldiers stationed there then it would just be a normal building.But when the battle spread into the canyon then itll show its powerful function and would improve the percentage of victory. In addition, the monitoring range would increase by a huge amount if they used the guard towers.They would be able to watch every move of the Nakujuk in the canyon.

With Haman Fortresss extension, they wont dare attack it anymore. In addition, the supplies they gathered in the south east is already running out. With the guard towers blocking the movements of the Draken, theyll probably wont be able to hold out and will retreat to the valley village.

Now weve overcome our inferior power and stabilized the region.

Shambala also nodded.Arks party was now completely immersed in the Netherworld war.There wasnt that many opportunities to experience a massive war like this in the game. It was a matter of life or death for NPCs but it was just a game for users. They were able to experience a hot battle so they were enjoying it.In particular, JusticeMan and Shambalas motivation had increased by a considerable amount.It was a 180 degree change from the siege or battles they previously participated in. The siege was just a war. But this war had some justification. JusticeMan was helping the residents so he considered it a good cause while Shambala was looking after his precious girlfriend (?). Fulfilling Isabels wish was his justification!

They faced this war with a different type of determination.Moreover, the opponents were monster-type NPCs. Unlike the siege where it was just a competition between users, this war would give fame, experience and items. In addition, the war gave additional experience to users with a title.The experience of JusticeMan and Lariette who were the deputies, the rehabilitation members who were the commanding officers of their units and even Buksil who was in charge of supplies went up dramatically. However, the one who ate up the most experience was obviously Ark who was the Commander.As the commander of the Baran clan, he received a certain amount of experience every time a Nakujuk was killed.Thanks to that, Ark climbed 16 levels in a week and finally reached level 300.
