The Three Kings’ Disciple

“We greet the strategist.”

The martial artists bowed.

“…….”

Lee San-hoo, who had been walking quickly, stopped.

“Hoo. Don’t do that kind of thing.”

It was a funny thing.

Until recently, he was just a player who didn’t receive attention from anyone, and joining Eunha was the greatest achievement of his life.

But now, he was receiving bows from martial artists, even those of Eunha.

“But….”

“We are just fellow guild members.”

At Lee San-hoo’s words, which seemed uncomfortable, the martial artists soon nodded and left.

“Should I be happy or not, I wonder.”

Lee San-hoo was both pleased and uncomfortable with this situation.

Then, other martial artists appeared before him.

“We have been waiting.”

At their appearance, Lee San-hoo’s face also hardened.

The martial artists of Eunha were all strong.

But the energy emanating from the martial artists in front of him was not as intense.

These were.

-The Blood Sword Unit.

Eunha’s top assault team, the military force above them.

They were one of those called the true power of the Blood Cult.

“We will escort you.”

“Ah, yes. Thank you.”

Lee San-hoo, who always maintained a confident attitude, still couldn’t help but shrink in front of them.

The Blood Sword Unit led the way, and Lee San-hoo followed behind.

Buzzing, buzzing.

The Eunha guild house was currently very noisy.

Many people had gathered, creating a serious atmosphere.

“This way.”

The escort of the Blood Sword Unit was, in a way, a natural thing.

Swoosh.

At the appearance of the Blood Sword Unit, the martial artists stepped aside, clearing the way.

At the same time, they bowed their heads towards Lee San-hoo.

Lee San-hoo barely endured the discomfort and finally arrived at his destination.

“Everyone is already here.”

At the words of the Blood Sword Unit member who had finished guiding him, Lee San-hoo scratched his head.

Even though he was a strategist, he had arrived in a hurry after everyone had gathered, so he couldn’t help but feel awkward.

“Thank….”

Poof.

Before he could express his gratitude, the Blood Sword Unit member disappeared.

Creak.

The door to the conference room began to open naturally.

Buzzing, buzzing.

Even within, numerous voices were leaking out.

Lee San-hoo.

“Hoo.”

He took a breath and stepped into the conference room.

“I’m late. I apologize.”

The noise stopped, and all eyes focused on Lee San-hoo.

“If you’re here, sit down.”

A voice was heard from the head seat.

It was the voice of Lee Ro-woon, who could be said to be the owner of all these people.

Nod.

Lee San-hoo nodded and took his seat.

“I heard you were on vacation, it must be tough.”

It was Choi Doo-ho, the guild leader of the Rayon Guild.

As he said, Lee San-hoo had received a vacation.

He had suddenly become Eunha’s strategist and had gone through several major events.

Feeling that he needed a vacation, he had requested it from Lee Ro-woon, and it had been accepted, so he had not been coming to the guild house for a while.

That was why Lee Ro-woon had not called Lee San-hoo.

It was Lee San-hoo who had taken the initiative to return.

“Given the situation, I can’t just lie down and rest.”

Lee San-hoo said with a bitter smile.

The fact that Hainan was coming.

That wasn’t the only reason.

“What on earth happened?”

It was because of the urgent contact from Eunha that had reached him.

* * *

The Republic of Korea was in an uproar over the news of Hainan’s northward advance.

But that was all.

No one.

“Really….”

No one was talking about what had happened just a few hours ago.

“Are you saying that Hainan was attacked?”

The attack on Hainan.

It wasn’t that Hainan had attacked, but that Hainan had been attacked.

Lee San-hoo had an incredulous look on his face.

“It’s hard to believe, but it’s a confirmed fact.”

Choi Doo-ho also had the same reaction.

The Nine Great Sects, they were an impregnable fortress that never crumbled or was damaged.

But with the appearance of Eunha, their stronghold was gradually collapsing.

“There were no such reports.”

“Looking at times like this, you’re still naive. Who would report that the Nine Great Sects were attacked?”

At Choi Doo-ho’s words, Lee San-hoo nodded.

“The Association will be directly blocking and controlling the information. But….”

At the front of the conference room, Ha Se-min could be seen.

“According to Black City’s information, it’s true.”

Choi Doo-ho said.

“There are over a hundred casualties.”

They had attacked Hainan and caused casualties.

“Was this done without my knowledge?”

At Lee San-hoo’s voice, attention was once again focused on him.

“There is no such thing.”

Dang Hwa-young said.

“This is not the work of Eunha.”

If Hainan had been attacked and even suffered casualties, it was natural to think that it was Eunha’s doing, but this time it was not Eunha’s doing.

“We are also investigating, but….”

Dang Hwa-young revealed something even harder to believe.

The people gathered here were trustworthy people.

At least, they were the people chosen by Lee Ro-woon.

“It is presumed that the attackers of Hainan are players.”

“Yes?”

“What….”

As the controlled information was released, reactions erupted.

“Who….”

“It seems that players, tired of Hainan’s misdeeds, attacked Hainan. Hundreds of players, including the high ranker Kim Chang-il, have risen up.”

Ha Se-min continued.

“High ranker….”

Reactions suggested that if a high ranker was involved, it was possible.

“Please look at what’s in front of you.”

A Black City martial artist handed documents to those gathered in the conference room.

At the same time, the screen in front of the conference room turned on, and satellite photos, of unknown origin, appeared.

In silence, they were absorbing the information into their minds.

“That can’t be….”

The given information was shocking in itself.

“I didn’t think Hainan would go this far.”

The things Hainan had been doing as they moved north.

“Lee Tae-gyeom…. The Great Cloud Sword.”

The name Lee Tae-gyeom, the Great Cloud Sword.

The misdeeds committed under that name.

And.

“……!”

The players’ attack.

According to Black City’s information, the players were those who had a bad relationship with Hainan.

“It seems that they, who were waiting for an opportunity, began to act after Eunha’s declaration of the Blood Cult.”

They were different from the Blue Army or the Red Army.

They had chosen to oppose Eun of their own accord.

“Hundreds of players, including the high ranker Kim Chang-il….”

They blew up the bridges on Hainan’s route and attacked them.

“This can’t be.”

And the following information was shocking.

“Are you saying that they didn’t inflict any damage on Hainan?”

Even though a high ranker had taken the lead in the attack, the damage caused by them was almost non-existent.

It was reported that the martial artists other than Hainan were killed or injured, but Hainan only suffered minor injuries.

Moreover.

“Kim Chang-il was overwhelmed….”

Choi Doo-ho, the guild leader of the Rayon Guild, and the members of the player alliance were naturally players.

They, who were still rankers, knew about the high ranker Choi Doo-ho.

There would be no player who did not admire him, who stood out alone without any affiliation, even though he was a high ranker.

It was written that he was literally toyed with by a man named the Great Cloud Sword.

“How skilled is he….”

“It is judged that the Great Cloud Sword is a master who has reached the extreme of the Mystic Realm.”

The report continued.

“But even though Kim Chang-il is a high ranker in the upper ranks, to be so overwhelmed….”

“From the beginning.”

Ha Se-min said.

“The idea that a high ranker can face a master of the Mystic Realm is just a rumor.”

“……!”

“Is there anyone who actually knows about their clash?”

No one answered.

It was as Ha Se-min said.

“…….”

A high ranker can face a master of the Mystic Realm.

It was a rumor that everyone talked about as if it were a fact, but it had not been confirmed.

The Blue Army and the Red Army were unranked, those who were not in the rankings.

Other than that, there were no players who had the name of a ranker among those who had opposed Eun in the past.

“It is a fact that I have been suspecting for a long time. The degree of strength of a high ranker or a ranker is just what the Association has put forward.”

“Such….”

“The owner of the player association is the Martial Arts Association.”

It was a story that the manipulation of rankers and high rankers was possible.

“It has just been revealed to be true. Of course….”

Ha Se-min also said.

“Although it is not known, there have been several times when high rankers and martial artists of the Mystic Realm have clashed.”

Secret stories, hidden stories.

“You know the stories of the high rankers who were suddenly announced dead or went missing.”

Nod.

In fact, such things often happened.

But not many people found it strange.

Players who always risked their lives, even the strong among the high rankers, were in danger of losing their lives if they faced a crisis of that level.

Those who were known to have died due to the appearance of S-class gates or disaster-level monsters.

“Among them, there are those who opposed martial artists or were eliminated by martial artists. According to the information Black City has, high rankers….”

Ha Se-min said.

“Except for a very small number, they cannot face a martial artist of the Mystic Realm.”

Thud.

The faces of the people in the conference room, no, the players, turned pale.

That level of gap.

No, everything was manipulated.

* * *

The report was over.

Each person was gathering and organizing information.

It was a series of shocks.

The fact that high rankers were actually just a good-looking deception.

Even though it was already known that this land was ruled by martial artists, they had not thought it was at this level.

And finally.

“Unknown….”

It was the emergence of a new force.

The attack that Hainan suffered, the players attacked them, but they did not inflict any significant damage.

However, the casualties of Hainan were a clear fact, and most of the players who had attacked them survived and escaped.

It was the Unknown who made that possible.

Beep.

The screen changed, and what appeared was a person wearing an animal mask, a rabbit mask.

“We only managed to get one picture.”

This person was.

“Unknown….”

The unknown people.

“They are presumed to be players.”

Ha Se-min said.

“It is presumed that an individual faced Lee Tae-gyeom, the Great Cloud Sword, who has reached the extreme of the Mystic Realm, and Oh Jin-kyung, the Great Sea Sword.”

It was the appearance of a new strongman.

“The number has been confirmed to be about eight.”

“…….”

A heavy air enveloped the conference room.

“First of all, we have gathered you to share information. We will discuss future countermeasures soon.”

Exhausted from the shock, they nodded and rose from their seats.

The meeting was given a temporary break.

One by one, they left.

“…….”

They were so shocked that they couldn’t even open their mouths.

And finally, Lee San-hoo also rose from his seat.

“It’s full of unbelievable things.”

He muttered to himself, glanced at Lee Ro-woon for a moment, and turned around.

And then.

“Did you hurt your leg?”

Lee Ro-woon’s voice pierced into Lee San-hoo’s ears.

“……Huh?”

Lee San-hoo carefully turned his head.

“Your gait looks uncomfortable.”

“Ah, I had a bit of an incident while coming in a hurry. I’m still a weak player.”

“Get a potion.”

“It’s not that bad. Anyway… I need to think about it.”

Lee San-hoo, who seemed to be deep in thought as Eunha’s strategist, also left the conference room.
