Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 321

-You are the people who wouldn’t even be alive here if it wasn’t for Eunha. You.

Lee San-hoo’s words were an undeniable truth.

As leaders of large-scale player guilds, they knew their own fates best.

“I’ll admit it.”

Choi Doo-ho finally nodded.

Denying Lee San-hoo’s words would only prove their incompetence.

That is, it would be admitting that they hadn’t even recognized the fact that the Murim [Martial Arts World] guilds were targeting them, nor had they prepared for it.

“…….”

Starting with Choi Doo-ho, others began to nod.

“It’s true.”

Lee San-hoo may have been the catalyst, but the result would have been the same.

Rather.

“We are grateful to Eunha.”

Thanks to Eunha’s intervention, they were able to minimize the damage.

Lee San-hoo had only given them a slight push.

“I’m grateful that you say that….”

Lee San-hoo was about to speak with a slightly relaxed face when.

Bang!

With the sound of the table being slammed, some finally rose from their seats.

“That’s crazy talk.”

A man with a fierce impression said.

“Pushing us off a cliff and then throwing us a rope, calling them our saviors? Isn’t that what you’re saying?”

He wasn’t wrong either.

“Eunha is no different from those guys.”

He turned his back as if he didn’t want to talk anymore.

“You were the ones heading towards the cliff. Eunha showed those who were too afraid to look down what was below and lowered a rope.”

Lee San-hoo.

He spoke in a cold voice.

“Get out of here, I sincerely don’t need people like you. In the end….”

Lee San-hoo’s voice even carried a hint of anger.

“It’s because of people like you that the world is in this state. That players are being treated like slaves. Standing at the edge of a cliff, saying it’s still safe here, not preparing at all, not even thinking of climbing up.”

Because they were at the forefront.

“You’re the ones who are stealing the opportunities of other player guilds.”

“Shut….”

“And you know what?”

Lee San-hoo now crossed his arms and grinned.

“You’re the ones about to fall off the cliff now. Don’t you get it?”

“What are you talking about?”

“You don’t think today’s meeting was held in secret, do you?”

“…….!”

Certainly.

“You came here with your guild flags on your official vehicles and now you’re leaving? Without even Eunha’s protection?”

They had indeed come with their guild flags on their official vehicles.

“You think there wouldn’t be any reporters?”

At his words, the leaders quickly opened their phones.

They soon saw.

-Major and mid-sized guilds visit Eunha, does this mean they are being incorporated under Eunha?

Numerous articles were flooding the internet.

“Go die alone, isolated with nowhere to go. Get out.”

“Tch! You crazy…!”

Anger.

“In the end, you guys are the same! What are you talking about while threatening and oppressing us!”

Heavy footsteps.

“Whether I live or die, I’m out of here.”

In the end, Jang Han kicked the door open and left the conference hall.

Swoosh.

One by one, a few more of the player leaders got up.

“I’m disappointed.”

They bowed their heads and left.

“…….”

No one stopped those who were leaving, and an awkward silence filled the conference hall.

Neither Lee San-hoo’s words nor the other guild leaders’ words were wrong.

It was just a difference in their views and thoughts.

Since those who didn’t agree were going their separate ways, it had to be acknowledged and accepted.

Of course.

-He’s too extreme.

Lee San-hoo’s actions were extremely excessive.

It was an act that created enemies, and it was also revealing facts that didn’t need to be revealed.

“I am grateful for the honesty shown by Eunha’s advisor.”

Choi Doo-ho said.

He knew that Lee San-hoo had spoken without hiding anything, and he acknowledged that his words were true.

“Grateful for what… I’m sorry.”

Finally, an apology.

“But it couldn’t be helped. To move people with power like you, I had to show you what the real situation is like.”

They were addicted to comfort, and if they didn’t have a sense of urgency, they would never have moved.

“The lives of ordinary players are even more miserable than that. If you understand that, that’s enough.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Nodding, the meeting was about to resume.

Even if they regretted those who had left, they wouldn’t hold them back.

‘Lee San-hoo.’

Dang Hwa-young’s eyes trembled as she watched Lee San-hoo proceed with the meeting.

‘I think I know why that person was interested.’

Lee San-hoo clearly had an extraordinary mind.

He also established and executed unconventional plans.

But more than anything.

‘Venom.’

He had venom.

Also.

‘Cruelty.’

He also had cruelty.

But more important than that was.

‘Player.’

Lee San-hoo understood players better than anyone else, and he was someone who could be at the forefront.

‘What do you want….’

I think I understand now.

* * *

“Our Rayon Guild, including seven other guilds….”

The content of the meeting was simple.

The benefits of being under Eunha, what they had to do.

Also, what the Blood Cult was and what Eunha was.

-These are also my thoughts.

Lee San-hoo explained to the leaders of the player guilds from the perspective of a player, what he had seen and thought.

As the meeting progressed, the leaders became more and more drawn to Lee San-hoo.

His honesty and desperation moved their hearts.

“We hope to be under Eunha.”

In the end, they hoped to be under Eunha.

“However, we will refrain from such extreme actions as this time.”

Choi Doo-ho made it clear.

“Sacrificing for the greater good is meaningless unless it is of one’s own will.”

His sincere thoughts.

“If that’s the case, it would be no different from the enemy forces.”

Forcing sacrifices for that cause would be no different from the Murim or the enemy forces.

If the players had wanted that, they would have already joined the enemy forces.

“That won’t happen. Please understand that this time was a special exception, and I apologize.”

Lee San-hoo.

He was just a young player.

But as Eunha’s advisor, he had the power to control the leaders gathered here if he wanted to.

And he bowed his head and apologized.

“That’s enough.”

With that, their hearts were somewhat relieved.

“Now it’s my turn.”

Dang Hwa-young.

She finally opened her mouth at the end of the long meeting.

“Eunha.”

Her eyes and voice changed.

Her solemnity and charisma engulfed the entire conference hall.

The guild leader of Eunha, and before that, the young mistress of the Dang family.

“The Blood Cult.”

She spoke with the posture and attitude befitting a leader.

“Will welcome you.”

Seven mid-to-large-sized guilds.

Considering those who had left, it was a small number, but compared to the number of players who wanted to join the Blood Cult, it was overwhelming.

At least 20,000 elite players had now joined Eunha.

“Thank….”

When their faces and eyes met.

Koo-oong!

The Eunha guild house began to shake.

“……!”

The ceiling shook, and debris fell.

As the startled leaders tensed up, ready to fight.

“What’s going on?”

Dang Hwa-young commanded in a calm voice, without a hint of panic.

Thud.

A figure fell from the ceiling.

The leaders’ eyes widened as they saw the figure that had appeared without them even sensing its presence.

“It’s an attack.”

An attack.

“It seems the Murim guilds have united to attack Eunha.”

Black King, Ha Se-min, also spoke to Dang Hwa-young, as if he had received a message from his subordinates.

“…….”

The leaders’ eyes trembled with anxiety.

They had expected such an attack, but they didn’t think it would happen so soon.

Moreover, they must have launched the attack after confirming that the player guild leaders had arrived at Eunha.

“What is the current strength of Eunha’s forces?”

One of the player guild leaders asked in a worried voice.

“I heard that there were casualties among the guild members while saving us….”

Moreover.

“I also heard that the forces were dispersed to deal with the appearing gates….”

Due to the numerous gates that had suddenly appeared in Gyeonggi Province, they knew that Eunha’s forces were scattered to close them.

Even though Eunha was in a state of war, they couldn’t leave the gates alone.

If they eventually caused a break and released monsters, Eunha’s territory would collapse, and Eunha would lose even more justification.

Perhaps it was part of the meeting strategy.

Koo-oong!

The building continued to shake.

“There are about a hundred combat personnel.”

“……!”

Only a hundred guild members capable of fighting in this large building?

“The opponents….”

“Are close to three thousand.”

At the Black King’s words, the leaders’ faces turned pale.

It was like throwing an egg at a rock.

The problem was that Eunha, which they were about to join, was the egg.

“I will fight.”

Choi Doo-ho said, drawing his sword.

“It seems I will have to bury my bones here today. So….”

He said.

“I ask that Eunha’s guild leader and the leadership leave this place and plan for the future.”

His determination was palpable.

“Can you promise to take care of the Rayon Guild… and my successor?”

He was sacrificing himself and trying to plan for the future.

“I will fight too.”

The other player guild leaders also began to step forward.

“I wanted to have a proper fight with the Murim.”

“Last time, we were just beaten, so it’s time to pay them back.”

“But this time, I’m confident that we won’t be defeated like before.”

Now that they had promised to join Eunha, they had no intention of breaking their promise.

“Are you serious?”

Lee San-hoo.

“You can still back out now.”

At his words, Choi Doo-ho looked at Lee San-hoo and smiled.

“I have a word for Eunha’s advisor.”

Now that they were completely under his command, there was no need to speak formally to Lee San-hoo.

“Players are not as weak as you think.”

He was now speaking informally.

It was like advice from a senior player, not a leader of a subordinate guild.

“Also, justice and faith are not only for the Murim.”

“…….”

“I have lived my whole life pursuing profit, but I have not only sought safety.”

His words resonated.

“We do what we have to do when the time comes. That’s what we players are, the residents of Earth, and….”

He grinned.

“Aren’t we Koreans?”

Even though national borders had become blurred, they were still bringing out the emotions that remained from Choi Doo-ho’s generation.

“Thank you for your kindness.”

A voice echoed.

“And I will not forget your noble intentions.”

Dang Hwa-young.

“But, stay here.”

She moved her hand.

“I will show you what kind of place Eunha, the Blood Cult, that you will follow….”

Her eyes shone, and a screen began to appear on the wall of the conference hall.

Koo-oong!

Everything about the guild house being attacked and the attackers.

“I’ll show you what kind of place it is.”
