Chapter 186
Episode 186:
Contrary to their status as having no direct influence on the carnival, they are a proxy clan that can influence every detail, including the store and the clan’s abilities.
Perhaps they were more important than their status to the carnival participants.
Their disappearance has several implications.
Each surrogate clan was in charge of a portion of the continent, and among the eight clans, the giant clan, gnome clan, and noble clan were extinct.
As a result, South America, Europe, and the Middle East, which they were in charge of, could no longer receive the benefits of the proxy clan.
Thanks to this, the people there were now flocking to Asia, Africa, and Oceania.
[This is what we wanted, but… is it okay? Among the remaining proxy clans, there are fairies, right?]
Gyu-ryu asked Namgung.
“But we can’t let the Octagon War remain unfinished forever.”
[That’s right, but…]
“And as you may have heard, you need the power of phase to get to the upper level of the Tower of Wu.”
[Do you really believe what that devil says? You really aren’t going to give that guy a place in the proxy clan, are you?]
“Why? Otherwise, I might have to eat you when you become the king of Yihyung.”
[That’s better!]
Gyu-ryu shouted as if asking an obvious question.
[If you really want, I can give you the throne. But you’re suggesting something like that to someone you don’t even trust?]
“This guy also went the black route. “I also experienced death twice.”
[What does that mean? I can’t be trusted. No matter how terrible the experience, it is no problem as long as you are confident that you can overcome it.]
Gyu-ryu said with his lips pouting.
[And isn’t it strange? The guy who jumped out of the tower to save his clan from extinction is going to give up his position as a phase once the Octagon War is over? [It is something that could cost your life.]
“There is no such thing as giving up the power of status at the cost of your life.”
[Then wouldn’t it be okay for me to do it?]
“There’s no guarantee that it won’t cost you your life. “It’s okay to give up your position as a representative clan, but what if you have to take your life to hand over the power of your status?”
Namgung looked at Gyu-ryu.
“I don’t want to kill you.”
Sniffle-
“…Are you crying?”
[Ah, what are you going to do if you suddenly come in? No, and who dies! I won’t die! I’ll be stuck with you for the rest of my life!]
“It means that the carnival will never end if you stay with me. “After a reasonable amount of time, it just disappears.”
[I don’t like it? I don’t like it!]
Namgung burst into laughter as he cried and pushed away the clinging Gyu-ryu.
“Stop talking nonsense and open the door to the Yaksha world. “I’m sure other clans have already heard about the war, right?”
[Cluck, even if you do that, it won’t be of any use. Namgung is joining us, so what can they do?]
Gyu-ryu said, extending his finger as if he were confident.
“I wish so.”
Namgung rolled his eyes slightly.
The Naga clan, the Drake clan, and the Sea People clan.
Except for the fairies, all other clans were not easy.
* * *
[To the right! Maintain your ranks!]
Dudududududu…!!
[A little faster!! All troops pivot around the first line! 2 Group 3 spreads out and targets the back!!]
The Yasha warriors, moving in unison while shouting sharply, did not seem to be disturbed at all.
“It is indeed a current.”
[I can teach that level too, right?]
When Namgung spoke while looking at Hyun-ryu, who was standing on the platform at the training ground, Gyu-ryu pursed his lips.
[Concentrate! If you do it this way, you will be the first corpse on the battlefield!]
Waaaa—!!!
As he spoke, the warriors tangled together and began to fight.
‘As far as I know, those gray combat uniforms must be low-level warriors. Each individual’s skills aren’t that bad either.’
Namgung thought it was a good thing to leave Hyeon-ryu, who had an excellent understanding of Jinbeop, here.
[Are you here?]
“It looks like you have a pretty good framework in place?”
[It’s still far from enough. At most, it could be just a shield.]
Hyeon-ryu said it as if it was no big deal, but just by looking at their movements, Namgung was able to gauge their skills.
“How many?”
[The number that can be deployed right now is about 200. If you include the low-level warriors in the training ground, there will be about 1,000 people.]
“What about the rest of our strength?”
[First of all, the fairies are allied with us, so it appears they will not participate in the Octagon War. Instead, he presented a condition.]
“What?”
[He asked me to be the first to carry out what I promised before.]
[I guess it’s about the lake. [This is the lake that was taken away by the Naga clan.]
Gyu-ryu took over Hyeon-ryu’s words.
[The Fairy Queen said that when the Octagon War begins, attack the Naga clan first. If you do that, they will also provide support.]
[Arrogantly telling someone to do this or that…]
“Good. I promised them that I would get the lake back. “Even the fairies can help us if they have a cause.”
[I think so too.]
[…Is that so?]
When Gyu-ryu was looking at him, Hyun-ryu pointed his finger to his mouth as if to tell him to be quiet.
[There is one problem.]
“What is it?”
[It seems that other clans are also expecting that the fairies will move to reclaim the lake.]
Hyunryu said.
[There is news that the flying dragon and sea people are also gathering at the lake. Eat it inside. I will tell you about the current situation.]
Namgung walked into the hall under the guidance of Hyeonryu.
“What about Muhwi?”
[My father is undergoing training once again. It seems like you have become stronger after regaining your vitality thanks to Namgung.]
“It’s good to hear that. “It would be better if the training ends before the war starts.”
[Haha, maybe even your father won’t be able to participate in the war. Instead, all of our brothers are gathered together, so you don’t have to worry too much.]
“I mean everyone…”
[Yes.]
Kkeikiik-.
Hyunryu said as he opened the door in the hall.
[Yeonhwa’s sister decided to direct the clan’s strategy on behalf of her father.]
[Namgoong!!]
In the hall where the large map was hung, she saw Namgoong and ran towards him with joy.
“It’s been a while. How have you been?”
[Thanks. I’m happy to see you again.]
Chuck-!!
As Yeonhwa bowed her head, the family members standing behind her knelt down on one knee.
“There is no need for unnecessary formalities. Everyone stand up.”
Namgung said so, but the yakshas were still kneeling.
[Because they also have their own beliefs. Come over here. I will tell you the strategy we have prepared, so please add Namgoong’s opinion.]
“Hmm.”
Namgung turned his eyes from looking at the yakshas as Yeonhwa led him by holding his wrist.
Even though I was a spirit, I felt like I could feel a strange warmth on my wrist.
[The Fairy Lake is currently owned by the Naga Clan. Although the giants are stationed on guard, it is the Naga clan that actually sees the effects of the lake.]
[It will not be easy to deal with the Nagas who are under the power of the lake.]
It is in the same context that the fairies are trying to reclaim the lake. It was. This is because the water in the lake contains powerful natural energy.
That is why everyone, from fairies who use magical powers to the Naga clan who uses magic, coveted the lake.
[The alliance of giants and fairies will be able to come close in power to equal the Naga clan.]
“That means we have to deal with the two remaining clans.”
[you’re right. The problem would be the Haein clan. If you float a boat on the lake while the Naga clan is occupying the lake, they will also receive the power of the lake.]
“What if they join you? “Can you win?”
[You won’t be pushed away easily.]
[Pushed away! Don’t worry. I will sweep them all away.]
In response to Yeonhwa’s answer, Gyu-ryu shouted, pounding his chest.
[Ignore what he says. The problem is that I am too confident after learning the yaksha technique.]
“Are you confident?”
[No problem.]
Namgung chuckled at Gyu-ryu’s answer.
“Then the ones that are left are the flying dragons?”
[yes. That’s the problem…]
Yeonhwa looked at Namgung carefully.
“I’ll leave it to you.”
[It won’t be easy. According to rumors, there is also a story that the flying dragons tamed dragons.]
“Dragon?”
[yes. There are three dragons living in the drake world where the drake tribe lives. They say they made a contract with one of those three.]
“It’s not a red dragon, is it?”
[yes. All the dragons in the flying dragon world are elder dragons, so they won’t be ordinary dragons with the five elements.]
“So?”
[The three elder dragons in the flying dragon world are the white dragon and black dragon with light and dark attributes, and the crystal dragon with no attribute.]
[As it is an elder dragon, its movements may be slow due to its age, but its level of magical power is high. It will be much better.]
“I like it.”
Unlike her, who spoke in a voice full of tension, Namgoong’s mouth seemed to turn up when he heard the word “dragon.”
[yes? What do you like…?]
“You’ll need quite a few supplies. It’s been a while since I hunted a dragon. Still, I’m glad. Yeonhwa, because you can make weapons.”
[He looks like he’s up to something…]
Gyu-ryu, who knows Namgung well, immediately noticed the corners of his mouth turning up.
“They won’t be so quick to attack first. Deploy troops and request support from the fairies. “Because they can suppress the power of the lake.”
[I understand.]
“Yeonhwa, I will draw the design for you, so you can immediately make the tools needed to hunt the dragon.”
[Yes.]
“Has the location of the flying dragon tribe been determined?”
[yes. I found a group of drakes moving to the lake.]
“Good. Gyuri. “You are going there with me.”
[Eh…? Now?]
Gyu-ryu asked back with a surprised expression.
“Of course, you should at least say hello to them before taking it away.”
[You can’t believe I stole it…]
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssing….!!
At that moment, instead of answering, soul soldiers were summoned around Namgung.
[…!!]
The Yasha clan could not erase their nervous expressions without realizing it due to the intimidating feeling they had never felt before from the spirit soldiers.
“Now everyone will know what happens when a necromancer slays a dragon.”
▶ Number of commanders available for ministry: 5/10
Namgung spoke in a confident voice.
“There are still enough empty seats.”
