“Cough cough! I-I’m really sorry. In this situation... I don’t want to hold your ankles.”

Sticks coughed while looking like someone who was about to die. However, he apologized because he was more worried about Overgeared than himself.

It was a good attitude that Grid liked.

'It’s because I made him use Mass Teleport several times...’

It was meaningless to be irritated. He wasn’t in a position to worry about Sticks’ sickness, but he couldn’t help feeling sorry and worried.

Grid controlled his mind and smiled benevolently.

“Please don’t worry and just focus on recovery. You have to live a long and healthy life in order to pass on all your knowledge to my son.”

“G-Grid...”

Sticks’ voice trembled. The pointed ears that symbolized a high elf shook! The beautiful face turned red.

He was moved by the words ‘long and healthy.’

Grid interpreted it this way but the reason for Sticks’ response was different from what he expected.

“Only wanting me to give knowledge to young Lord... Does that mean you want me to live a short life? Huh? Do you want me to die early? I don’t want to...”

“...”

As a high elf, Sticks had a strong commitment to life.

He was 983 years old.

There was a moment of awkward silence before Sticks suddenly felt afraid.

'This strong magic power! Don’t tell me!’

He needed to recover and escape.

Sticks hurried to recover.

On the other hand, Braham’s soul was also fluctuating uneasily.

‘If this pathetic elf doesn’t recover, Grid will die.’

In the first place, Grid shouldn’t have been in this place.

Braham whispered to Grid.

'That elf will recover quickly. Don’t waste time and gather Magic Missiles with the Alarm magic.’

Grid nodded.

“I will do so.”

Grid was also disturbed by this place. His high insight warned him about something in the depths of the darkness.

‘My pride is hurt.’

He tried so hard, but he was still very weak.

Grid realized this and used Magic Missile and Alarm repeatedly. The loss of mana potions was very painful, but right now wasn’t the time to save money.

Then they left for Bairan after an hour.

***

Kuuong!

Kuuong!

Kwa kwa kwa kwang!

“Ohhh!”

“Finally!”

Bairan’s southern gate failed to survive the ongoing attack of the siege weapons and collapsed.

The soldiers were excited. In particular, the players shouted with joy.

Over the past week.

Most of the players had died many times in battle and received severe damage. Not only did they lose a lot of experience, some of them also dropped expensive items.

The strong counterattack of the Overgeared members caused them countless pain and frustration.

But that frustration would end today.

From now on, it was time to receive their rewards for the sacrifices they made throughout the war!

“Forward! Shoot!”

“Enter Bairan! First smash all of the Overgeared members!”

"Waaahhhhhhhh!"

The purpose of the players’ quest was to occupy Bairan!

If they occupied Bairan, the rewards would be comparable to SS grade quests. An ordinary player’s life could be changed with these huge rewards.

The surging momentum seemed to pierce the sky.

In particular, additional rewards could be obtained if they defeated the Overgeared members or soldiers.

As they entered Bairan, they climbed onto the walls and started attacking the Overgeared archers.

"These damn scum! I suffered so much that I lost levels! Get lost!”

“Revenge!”

“Kuak!”

The Overgeared soldiers wearing Grid’s set were very strong. The same level players couldn’t beat them in a one-on-one fight. Even at the same level, the Overgeared soldiers were stronger than the Eternal players.

However, the Overgeared soldiers were very tired and inadequate in numbers.

The Overgeared soldiers were unable to cope with the players constantly rushing in. They used Grid’s Dagger (Entry Level) to try and protect their bodies, but it was hard to last long.

As a result, the soldiers turned to grey one by one. This made the Overgeared members angry.

How much time and money did they invest into the soldiers?

"You didn’t even go to your mother’s funeral!”

Huroi cried out and pulled out a long sword.

It was Grid’s Longsword that had been constantly improved since the days when the guild stayed in Winston.

The players thought it was ridiculous.

“An orator is holding a sword?”

"There’s no way you can wield it!”

An orator was considered one of the weakest classes in close combat.

It wasn’t possible for the players to shrink back from Huroi.

They regarded the sword that Huroi was holding as a decoration.

However, Huroi had a second class.

As the Apostle of Justice’s Partner, he could use a sword.

Chaeng!

Seokeok!

Chaaeng!

Puuok!

“Keok!”

"Heeok!"

Every time Huroi wielded his sword, one of the players died.

The players were astonished.

"How can an orator use a sword?”

“It’s a second class!”

They belatedly noticed, but it was already too late.

“Bah! Descend! Lord of the Skies above the Grasslands!”

The excited Huroi shouted.

Kiyaaaaaah!

“...!”

A dazzling explosion filled the sky.

It was the advent of a huge wyvern.

It was also a red wyvern!

A wyvern that boasted the strongest fire attribute!

Kurururu!

The red wyvern in the sky poured out a breath and 50 Eternal players caught on fire.

"Aaaagh!"

"H-Hik!"

The players felt fear as flames burned their bodies.

The lower level players were unable to deal with the damage and died.

“T-This...”

How was he so strong?

“I thought he was all talk!”

At the south wall.

Huroi was the only Overgeared member protecting this place.

The players assumed that they could easily occupy it, but reality was terrible.

In fact, Huroi wasn’t on the front lines like Yura and Pon, and he also had the highest stamina.

In particular, he was one of 100 people who owned a wyvern.

Strong.

The south wall that Huroi defended became a hell for Eternal.

“I am the descendant of the great blue wolf!”

Seokeok!

Puk.

Kwarururung!

Huroi flew on the wyvern and burned the Eternal players.

Dozens of cameras watched as he proclaimed to the whole world.

"I am Grid’s first servant!”

"Ser...!”

“Vant!”

A top ranker was just Grid’s servant!

The astonished Eternal soldiers were swept away by flames.

***

The east wall.

“He’s fighting really well.”

Pon watched Huroi at the south wall with admiration.

The reason why he placed the smallest unit on the south wall was because he believed in Huroi’s strength. Now he felt rewarded for his faith.

"Huroi is also top class.”

The people who had been with Grid from the beginning.

Euphemina and Huroi.

Unlike the other Overgeared members, they rarely revealed themselves in public. However, they had the highest level of combat power and versatility.

They were with Grid from the beginning for a reason.

‘Grid has a talent for choosing people.’

The Overgeared members urged Pon while he was thinking.

“The gates are beginning
