‘Let’s see.’

He didn’t know if the Demon Lord’s Castle was dangerous or not.

Between whether his clansmen could be included within the 500 who would go up or not.

‘I need to do some traffic control.’ (*TL: Where have we heard this before? o.o…)

There was a location where they had gathered one of their clansmen each for quick communication during times of emergency.

It was created for an emergency and if this situation wasn’t an emergency, what was this then?

If they fight with other clans so they could take all of their members up with them then they would all die.

The best option was for the twelve clans to fill up the 500 spots one by one to ascend.

They didn’t like the fact that all twelve clans ascended alive with similar ratios but it was still a profit.

They didn’t know the situation in the other islands but if they took 40~50 elite members like them then they could still utilize them to an advantage above.

Once a consensus is met then an answer was set.

If they defended here then there was no such occurrences where the Clan Lords and their elite members couldn’t ascend.

Since the problem between clans had been solved, the problem was now non-clansmen.

‘Hmm…there’s quite a lot of non-clansmen.’

The current total population was 1300.

The non-clansmen felt uneasy joining clans after seeing the strange scene where people, who were on bad terms even to the point where they tried to kill each other, unnaturally and forcefully get reconciled through the symbols of the clansmen.

And even more so if there was an existence above them called the Lord whom they had to listen to even if they were to command them to suicide.

They might’ve gone in if the situation was dangerous but the fact that the defense progressed flawlessly also contributed in keeping the ratio of clansmen and non-clansmen.

But there were too many non-clansmen currently to leave them to just die.

So they had to stop them from going.

“Our clan chooses to defend!”

Every clan started to shout their choice in defense from all over.

‘There’s no way they could leave’

The weak always had their choices limited.

And now those people had to wait for their choices.

‘b.i.t.c.hes…’

‘Dammit… I should’ve went into a clan when thing were normal.’

He hadn’t joined a clan because he thought he could ascend without many problems if they defended like this but for such an unexpected event to happen.

500 was that low of a number.

There was no way they would leave a spot for the non-clansmen to ascend.

It seemed like the other non-clansmen who were quick to catch on had realized this already as they mumbled about.

They had three paths they could choose from in that case.

Form an alliance between the non-clansmen and fight the clan for the spot of 500.

Stay with the clans to fight and hopefully wait for the empty spot that may come their way.

Sangtae shook his head.

The non-clansmen adventurers had long been ripped apart by the clans.

But if they only had the choice of choosing from the two above then they would’ve gathered their strength in some way.

The d.a.m.nable fact was that hope still existed.

‘The third option is the problem.’

If they continue to defend then the number of clansmen will go down.

Since it was better the more you had if you thought of the place above.

A much higher chance than the first two which had the chance of a complete ma.s.sacre.

If this happened then as long as they don’t think of getting all the non-clansmen to have a fight, they could only get on the good side of the clan unions.

‘f.u.c.k…As long as we group up then we might be able to do something.’

Actually the main point of this game was very simple.

So everyone had to choose one side.

But if one side advocates strongly then the other side could only obediently follow unless they were determined to have a battle royale.

Since the clan unions were unified in thought whilst the adventurers of non-clan powers were split up all around.

Sangtae shouted loudly after pondering.

“Hey! Is there n.o.body to go with me! d.a.m.nit! You know what will happen if you stay here!”

‘d.a.m.nit…’

But while the Clan Lords were looking at Sangtae with ridicule, one person came out from the crowd and walked up next to Sangtae.

Since a person that was totally out of the expectation had walked out.

Hansoo, who had walked out into the eyes of the people, shrugged his shoulders as he looked at them.

Hansoo chuckled at Sangtae’s words as he spoke.

And then one of the non-clansmen shouted with hope.

That Hansoo had a strange psychic power.

“If we follow you, will it be safe?”

Since if there was a confirmation for such a thing, there was no reason to stay around here.

Hansoo shrugged his shoulders at those words.

Will more survive if they all combined their strength to head towards the Demon Lord’s Castle?

Since there are too many factors.

If they stay here then no more than 500 can survive.

Of course there will inevitably be a collision and the others who aren’t part of the 500 will die.

Hansoo chuckled as he saw the dejected looks on the people as he spoke.

Even if they were die off the same way, it was a problem of ratio in the end.

But on the other hand, if they were stay and defend and succeed the non-clansmen who aren’t chosen by the clansmen would all die.

“I’m going.”

The Hyunwoo she knew was a safety-first believer.

“Really?”

“There’s something I had found out about him separately.”

There once was a movement that went around in order to collect intel about Hansoo.

No, this was not only Hyunwoo’s question.

Since it was weirder to be not curious about that guy who was so eye catching.

It started from the people who had been with Hansoo since the 1st tutorial area and went up to the people who had seen Hansoo so far where the intel grouped up and got organized.

‘He can be trusted.’

Surprisingly they said he was strong from the start.

He could kill people to pull runes.

But he wasn’t like that.

He had eaten things to the point where it was close to monopolization but as they heard, he only fought in dangerous places.

‘And I like the fact that he doesn’t get swept around by useless emotions the most.’

But as they heard, if they couldn’t pay up for their own worth then he did not care about them.

Of course they couldn’t confirm just by piecing together rumors.

That others were probably thinking the same way as him.

It has been a while since the rumor of him being rather trustable had been going around.

He didn’t neglect in hunting down the undead while taking down Demons.

And they had to group up in order to break the game where the clans were the center.

The non-clansmen adventurers would die off in piles even if they chose to defend.

And the ones who couldn’t get into clans would be thrown off in the end.

Hyunwoo shouted loudly as he walked towards Hansoo.

And then Hyunwoo discreetly poked Taehee.

Taehee chuckled as she shouted.

‘…you don’t have to go that far. Why is this girl’s mouth so dirty?’

“Eyy. b.i.t.c.hes. Being bossed around is annoying!”

They weren’t heading out because they were just p.i.s.sed.

But if they carried on like this then the situation will flow the way the clans wanted after they swing back and forth under the clan’s dominion.

“This crazy…you can’t move! It’s not child’s play, why would you move at such incitements…”

Boooom!

“Why are you blocking them when they’re saying they’ll go on their own feet. Leave them be.”

The Clan Lords turned gloomy as they saw the giant chain sickle which had flown from Hansoo and landed in front of the clansmen’s foot.

They had known what this was.

Since it was on the catalogue.

60 crystals.

From the beginning the fairies probably didn’t expect that someone who would buy such a thing would come out .

“You guys over there should think about it again? Since a man’s thoughts can change.”

‘d.a.m.nit… He’s the problem again.’

The thing that made so many people move was not the words that Hansoo had spoken.

He might’ve been less annoyed if they struggled to form a non-clansmen union but the fact that this had happened because a guy who didn’t do anything and only hunted stepped out and spoke a few words annoyed him even more.

‘d.a.m.nable b.a.s.t.a.r.d.’

‘Do I need to pull out the special forces?’

If they were to collide in this situation, it would be a battle royale.

Guktae started to quickly converse with the other Clan Lords.
