Episode #117. Iâll serve you.
* * *
âCheonhwa Department Store Black Dragon Restaurant Xiao Shopping Street is still out of touch!â
âA request for help has come from Sahwagwan too!â
âUrgent news that the Obsidian Corps dispatched to the Black Dragon Bank collided with the Beast!â
Cross-border attack on former affiliates.
Even in the middle of the night, the urgent message was delivered immediately.
This is because there are so many places that have been attacked, and the emergency alert system of affiliates that have joined the Guardian System has been activated.
Thanks to that, Leviathan was also busy going back even in the middle of the night.
It was because Hotel Leviathan was the commanding tower in charge of the Black Dragon Clan spread across the world and the forward base responsible for supply and military force.
âGive me instructions!â
âWhere do you send your support?â
However, the Black Dragon clan is busy moving.
I couldnât respond easily.
It wasnât just because he didnât know how to respond to this absurd situation in which the assailants were all duke-level players, and even the same person.
The center of this command tower.
It was because the general manager, who could be called Leviathanâs brain, was sticking to his silence.
âGeneral manager!â
Is it because I canât stand the frustration?
A soldier called him as if urging him.
Considering the strict hierarchical order of the Seven Dragons, it was rude to say nothing even if he was summarily executed as a hypocrisy.
Even knowing that, the situation of each affiliate was precarious enough for Mu-in to risk his life to seek instructions.
However, Yo-in didnât get angry or order a response.
I just quietly opened my mouth.
âLet everyone wait.â
âAre you talking about this situation?â
âYes, there is no support. Also, tell the other staff, including Mukryongdae. Be fully prepared, but do not move without instructions.â
âWhy?!â
To the samurai who asked as if he couldnât understand at all, Yoin calmly asked back.
âShould I explain why?â
â⦠Excuse me.â
Musa finally shut up and withdrew.
Just as there is no general who explains the reasons to each soldier when giving operational instructions.
It wasnât just because he realized that asking the reason for the order was completely ignoring the clanâs chain of command.
Itâs because of the pressure on the shoulder.
Youin, who covered the samuraiâs mouth like that, smiled bitterly in spite of others.
âItâs embarrassing.â
The warrior just now wouldnât know.
The reason why Youin pulled up the psionic and blocked the warriorâs mouth.
It wasnât just to protect his dignity as general manager, but because even Yo-in herself didnât know the exact reason why.
Negligence, to put it mildly.
To put it a bit exaggeratedly, there was nothing to say even if it was intentional neglect or betrayal.
âPrincess, youâre making this old man very difficult.â
However, there is one reason for this.
Because this was her order when she urgently informed Li Qingyu that affiliates had been attacked en masse.
Of course, thatâs no excuse.
I donât know if it was in the past.
Now that the princessâs position has been greatly weakened.
If the other clans found out that they had neglected the attacked affiliates, they would not be able to avoid the responsibility no matter how much Li Qingyu ordered them to do.
However, Youin did not change his decision.
Before he was Leviathanâs general manager, he was a member of the Black Dragon clan.
Because he was a member of the Seven Dragons, with the duty to prioritize the will of the princess above all else.
âOf course, I know he has a deep meaningâ¦â
Besides, Youin is one of the few people who knows how smart and thorough Li Qingyu is, and Noh Kang-ho, who has overcome many difficulties.
Of course I knew that she couldnât give such an order for no reason.
What does this instruction mean?
What is Li Qingyu aiming for?
I could have guessed at least.
However, even considering all of that, it was not comfortable to be in this situation of having to silently accept urgent reports and requests for help from all kinds of affiliates.
âTo feel nervous at this age means Iâm lacking in discipline too.â
While lamenting so deeply, Yoin kept his back straight and listened to the reports pouring in.
âEveryone in the Mukryongdae is on standby!â
âA request for help from the guards who escaped from Cheonhwa Department Storeâ¦â
âUrgent reports from the armed forces of the royal family of Shanghaiâ¦â
âFrom the Secret Serviceâ¦â
Every one of them is important and urgent reports pouring in without a break for a moment. It was while listening.
cooong!
A single vibration waved in all directions.
Wheein!
That is why the emergency bell, which had been quiet in the midst of this commotion, started ringing.
âThisâ¦?!â
âNonsense!â
âCheck the situation, quickly!â
The moment when the Black Dragon clan was about to panic, with expressions of surprise and disbelief that were different from the previous confusion.
Youin quietly opened his mouth.
âGather in the lobby of Mukryongdae.â
A calm and low voice.
Nonetheless, Youin spoke coldly to those who heard the instructions burrowing into their ears and stopped everything they were doing and looked back at themselves.
âLetâs get ready to welcome guests.â
* * *
Bruises and bruises.
There was a single figure walking leisurely along the darkened street.
A loose-fitting hoodie worn over the head.
Jeans with one thigh exposed.
Even the guitar on his back.
A blonde woman who can only be seen as a common street musician.
Eugene was worried.
âWhat should I do?â
The order given by the current commander, the man with pigtails, is to go wild without getting in the way.
Among the recent missions I received, it was a simple one that I really liked.
So, one worry.
where and how to run.
It turned out to be a surprisingly complicated problem.
If he had the talent to raid multiple places alone like Ryu Kang-cheol, there was only one place where Yu-jin could run wild.
In other words, it meant that it might be difficult to meet the condition of âmagnificentlyâ like Ryu Kang-cheol.
âYeah, it would be nice to be here.â
Eugene thought simply.
If possible, letâs choose a place where we can run wild.
And even she knew where the largest of the affiliates of the Black Dragon Clan was, knowing nothing but songs.
So it was.
this late at night.
Thatâs why she appeared in one building.
âSorry, the hospitality is negligent.â
Could it be because of an emergency?
A building closed with thick iron doors.
In front of the entrance, Yujin reached out her hand behind her back.
Then, he untied the guitar from his back and lifted it up with both hands gripping it like a hammer.
âOpen Sesame (open sesame)!â
Such a cheerful cry rang through the air.
The moment when the guitar, which was strangely heavier than it seemed, hit the iron door, even the sword master, Limon, felt the weight.
Wow!
The thick iron gate is bent.
The Leviathan vibrated.
âThis crazyâ¦!â
The unmanned guards in the lobby were astonished.
Although it was their job to prepare for the eventuality, they did not think that the âwhat ifâ would actually happen.
Of course, the iron gate that blocked Leviathan was a 330mm thick alloy from Dungeons.
It was something close to an indestructible object designed so that even if it was hit directly by a missile, it would not be scratched.
Bang bang quaang!
So at this moment.
The image of the iron gate being dented and now being completely dented made the unmanned peopleâs eyes pop out.
It is the extreme of unreality.
It was rather like a dream.
But what happened soon made them unable to escape from reality.
Aaaaaang!
âWOW⦠Itâs stronger than I thought, isnât it? As expected, Made in Seven Dragons.â
A blonde woman walked in, kicking the crushed iron door and blowing it inside.
Eugene slung the guitar over his shoulder.
And I tilted my head.
âWhy are there only two guarding here? Shouldnât there be more?â
It was a reasonable question.
No matter how late it was in the middle of the night, it was too small that there were only two warriors guarding the entrance in a yard that had already entered an emergency and even had to blockade it.
But, of course, the two warriors did not answer Eugeneâs question.
I just pulled out my sword while gritting my teeth.
âDie, you villain!â
âWith the life of the man who dared to break into Leviathanâ¦!â
Pooh!
It was a moment.
That is why the two warriors, who had valiantly rushed at Yujin, became clogged with blood and clung to the wall.
Itâs not that they were weak.
Because both of them were masters who could engage in fierce battles with tolerable high-level players who had each reached their own level.
One problem.
That Eugene was too strong.
To the extent that with just one swing of the guitar, they ignored the grass-eating they spread and broke the sword at once, even crushing the entire body.
âuh? Why die in one hit?â
However, Eugene blinked at the scene he had created.
Then he shook his head and murmured.
âIsnât the master of the Seven Dragons stronger? Isnât it normal to run at them even if they get crushed?â
A half surprise that seemed unexpected.
Half of the disappointment.
Her self-talk, mixed with the two, was something that would have made dead warriors vomit blood if they heard it.
Especially since itâs not meant to be sarcastic on purpose, itâs a really honest impression.
And even though there might not be the ghosts of the two warriors here, there was someone who could give at least a word of counterargument to Eugeneâs words.
âNo matter how skilled a person is, how can he fight with all his limbs and organs completely crushed?â
âwho?â
âMy name is Youin, who serves as the general manager of this hotel.â
An old man in a suit.
Youin calmly revealed himself.
And he looked at Eugene with calm eyes.
âIf you donât mind, may I know your name?â
âNo, thatâs a secret.â
âIâm sorry about that.â
Itâs like you didnât expect it from the beginning.
You-in calmly accepted Yu-jinâs refusal and continued quietly.
âI wanted to include the name of the schemer who made fun of our clan by writing even the Johoi mountain range in Seongdonggyeokseo.â
âWHAT???â
ââ¦It seems that there is a separate book company.â
âThere is no such thing as our bookstore? Are there only commanders?â
âAnyone who succeeds in attacking our clanâs affiliates and weakening Leviathanâs power deserves to be called a schemer.â
Youin said as if lamenting.
The reason why the beasts continued to attack affiliates for over a month.
This was to confirm that it was a ploy to distract the unmanned soldiers before attacking Leviathan.
In fact, their ploy worked.
Originally, it was a Leviathan with three sabers and numerous warriors always on standby.
Because there was only one armed force and dozens of warriors left here now.
However, thanks to the Guardianâs great success, the damage to affiliates was small, so it was only this much.
If Limonâs prediction had not adequately protected affiliates, even that small amount of power would have had to be sent to affiliates.
However, Youin didnât blame himself for not preparing in advance, nor was he relieved that there was a countermeasure.
I just lightly raised my hand.
âMukryongdae.â
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
A group of people appeared from all over the lobby.
Thirty-two samurai wearing ink dragon robes with dragons on them and covering half of their faces with white masks, each exuding force like blades.
âIt seems that our gatekeepers were not enough to serve customers, so this time we will serve them properly.â
Deed deed deed deed.
Momentum and momentum are intertwined.
Psionics and psionics mix.
The power of 32 warriors, each of whom is a master level master, is fused into one through an elaborate strategy.
In the aftermath alone, the lobby was shaken and the space was distorted by the flow of psionics, and Youin glared at Eugene with cool eyes.
âExperience the power of the Black Dragon Clanâs strongest armed forces.â
