Chapter 45 Two Hearts (3) (1/2)
There were five times I had a sword stuck in my heart. Three belonged to the Lords, one from my previous lover.
The other one was from a person whom I believed was my friend.

Though Kahn and Doyle were the biggest reason, they were definitely not the only reason as to why Yeon-woo decided to destroy Arangdan.
Yeon-woo thought this could also be an opportunity to drain Cheonghwado’s power out.
‘Cheonghwado has built several human farms over the rounds of the tutorial, but… why?’
In regards to efficiency, the human farm wasn’t a good way to rob players. If their goal was to simply take the artifacts and Tokens from the players, they could have relied on looting and plundering.
So, why did they run several farms that are difficult to manage? And why rebuild themselves even after being wiped out by Arthia?
‘There must be something.’
Yeon-woo was sure there must be a reason for that.

And that would be,
‘Something that should never be exposed to the outside world. Something that could be used against them.’
If only he could find out what that was, and be lucky enough to snatch it away from them…
The corners of Yeon-woo’s mouth were starting to turn up little by little.
‘It’ll be a weapon that can shake up Cheonghwado.’
The top 8 clans. They were the ones who tore down Arthia and drove his brother to death.
Moreover, Cheonghwado was the clan where one of the guys who stabbed his brother in the heart had turned to.
It was a little earlier than he expected, but he could finally embark on the path towards revenge.
He made his decision and his goal was clear. Now, he had to make his preparations before starting a fight.
‘There’s no way I can measure Arangdan’s combat power. But what’s certain is that they are stronger than those who previously fought against Arthia.’

Arthia had escaped from several near-death situations when subjugating the scavenger syndicate. That’s how persistent, strong and outnumbering the scavenger syndicate was. And the size of Arangdan right now was not any smaller, if not bigger than them.
In addition,
‘Cheonghwado sends one to five players to manage Arangdan.’
They weren’t just ordinary players but players who had proven their excellence in Cheonghwado.
The key was to know how skilled they were.
‘It would be stupid to launch a frontal attack. I have to think, what advantages do I have that I can make use of against them?’
Yeon-woo racked his brain for ideas.
‘Since they have no information about the skills I use, they don’t know exactly how good I am. Also, they could only make a rough estimate of my location. If I make sure to erase the traces I leave behind, they will no longer be able to locate me. And…”
Arandan was fixated on him, but they should have no idea that they had already been exposed. Though just once, he could also launch an ambush while the enemy had their guard down.
Besides, Yeon-woo was quick on his feet. Almost no one within the tutorial could catch up to the speed of his Shunpo, not to mention his stealthiness.

His senses were also of great help for pinpointing the enemy’s position.
And above all.
Yeon-woo had new weapons now.
Diamond Physique and Mana Circuit. With these two things, he was already well above the average player in the tutorial. He was certain that he himself was already stronger than Arthia had been during their days in the tutorial.
But that didn’t mean he could let his guard down.
‘That leaves me with hit and run tactics then.’
It was a tactic his troops used a lot back in the military.
When aiming for an enemy camp, they would launch several guerilla attacks, steadily wearing the enemies down. And when the enemy finally exposed a loophole in their defense, they would deal the final blow and destroy them.
Once again, Yeon-woo’s brain spun fast.
‘How much time do I have now?’

‘That’s about three and a half days.’
It was enough time to rescue Kahn and Doyle, but if he let Arangdan off the hook with just that, they would most likely interfere with him during the remaining time of the tutorial.
‘Once I pick a fight with them, I’ve got to completely finish them off and make sure to leave no survivors behind, so that Cheonghwado doesn’t know who attacked them.’
What he was about to start, was a war.
In a war, one had to eradicate the enemies to make sure they couldn’t make a comeback.
Not only that, but Yeon-woo had not yet given up on claiming the first rank.
To sum it up, Yeon-woo had to destroy Arangdan and pass through the remaining sections within little more than three days.
Yeon-woo sorted out his plan step by step. A vague picture was being painted in his head.
‘I’ll have to dart in and out of their base camps and swamp them with ceaseless attacks. And when they show signs of exhaustion, it’ll be their last. I’ll destroy their base, their heads, and everything else until they cease to exist.’

A brief cold blaze shone from Yeon-woo’s eyes.
‘All of this will be done in one day.’

And that night, when Yeon-woo finished all necessary preparations, he paid a visit to Galliard to bid farewell.
Galliard stared at the Yeon-woo and asked in a serious tone.
“Is it a war you’re thinking of?”
There was no need to hide it from him.
Yeon-woo nodded his head.
“How did you know?”
“I was once a warrior that fought for his people. I was a fool who thought fighting was everything. And in you, my friend…”

Galliard continued as he raised one side of his lips.
“I see a great deal of myself.”
A small smile rested on his lips.
“Your looks, your actions, and even your atmosphere, all of them are from someone who is about to go to war. Well, actually you were like that ever since you first came to visit me here. Seems to me like you are a fighter in a battle against the world itself.”
Yeon-woo shut his mouth tight.
“But right now, it’s gotten more pronounced. If I couldn’t even see that, I might as well dig out my eyes.”
Then Galliard narrowed his eyes.
“So, do you need my help?”
