“We don’t have much time”
Ark had triggered a coup and established a overnmentThe Nakujuk had thousands of troops while the Baran clan only had 500~1000 warriors However, Ark knew that the Letter Movee It was make it easier for them to move more troops to the south
“But the letter movement has limitations on its usesIt needed the Letter Movement Orb was required for the reception tower And the Nakujuk shouldn’t possess that many of the orbs”
“Why?”
Shambala asked slowly Ark kindly explained it to Shambala
“There are various reasons but the main reason is that they only built one reception tower in the village The Magic Institute previously determined that letter movement used some kind of radio wavesAnd it can only y recharges”
“I see what you mean”
Shambala finally started to understand the circumstances
“If they had enough Letter Movement Orbs then they would’ve constructed a lot of reception towers for fast transfer of troops But there are no signs of that In other words, there is no point in the several towers But the tower they constructed is sufficient for the Letter Movement Orbs they have”
“That’s right”
To put it si in Starcraft If there were overflowing materials then they could construct a lot of barracks However, there was no point in increasing the barracks when there were only a few materials
“That’s why there is no time If there is a limit to how many troops they can move at one time then they’ll probably attack when they have the maximum amount So the Nakujuk will probably attack in one hen they have 5,000 troops”
“Wait, 5000 in one week? Where did you come up with such a number?”
“…Of course I did some maths”
Ark laughed at Shambala’s question with a twinkle in his eye
“Beseutyu previously checked the rate of construction of the Reception tower in the valley village It took around one week in reality But the reception toasn’t finished yet They justat tower’s degree of completion and the amount of troops they were able to move, I can estimate that they will move 300~400 in one day after the tower is completed
“That means we have to be ready for war in one week If they can increase their troops by 300~400 in one day then they’ll have an extra 2,100~2,800 in a weekThey currently have 2,000 people so they would end up with 5,000 troops”
“Does everything make sense now Shambala?”
Ark tried to act cool by pretending to raise invisible glasses Shambala turned his face and snorted
“Sheesh, what a smartass…”
“I’power”
Anyway, the uncertain eneroup one week It the ht 5,000 troops But Ark no longer needed to involve himself in this Ark’s usual code of conduct was to ‘entrust it to people who can do well’ It was stupid to do it alone when soht be able to do it better And didn’t Ark now have JusticeMan as a military expert?
“JusticeMan ajusshi+, can you do it?”
“Huhuhu, I was in a siuerrillas in South America”
Anti-governuerrillas in South Aht JusticeMan’s past sounded like an actionIt hy people like Lee Myung-ryong were so respectful towards JusticeMan Anyway, Ark delegated all authority regarding military matters to him
In fact, Ark’s role as the Commander was quite mixed In New World, dozens of people was classified as a party, hundreds of people as a raid and thousands of people separated into corps In a party, everyone had the sauration becoroup The raid coanization became further complicated when it came to the corps The leader of the troop would appoint two deputies who served underneath him
Ark selected JusticeMan and Lariette to becoarding ht so she could apply various buffs and bonuses to the entire corps After leading Dark Eden, Ark was already aware of the attack configurations so he kne the special effects of the deputies appointed could be applied And right now, the one with the ht
“I’ll work hard”
Lariette’s face became determined after she received the title Once he chose JusticeMan, he left further military matters up to him
“Thedefensethe troops we conscripted from the Baran clan to fill up the insufficient numbers”
“Have you considered a base?”
“Beseutyu gave ion of the Netherworld Every region in the Netherworld is separated by e is currently stationed in the south-east It they want to advance to the south-west then they’ll inevitably have to pass through here”
JusticeMan spread out the map and pointed towards one spot It was a canyon located in the lower section of the Golgi Mountains
“I heard fro abandoned castle in this area It is al Hopefully we’ll be able to convert it to a stronghold Once we’ve repaired Haman castle then I’ll have to train the troops”
“Will it be ready in a week?”
JusticeMan considered for a while before asking Ark a question
“How long do we need to endure to achieve your goal?”
It oal wasn’t to win the war The Baran defeating the Nakujuk who ca north to the Nakujuk was……naturally ioal was to stop the Nakujuk conquering the Netherworld and gaining soht time
“If we consu ti on for a minimum of one week”
“We’ll be able to do that much anyway”
Thus they an preparations for war It was also the first tiether Thanks to Ark holding the elders hostage, there was no real issues Thus they gathered 2,000 Baran troops in a matter of days Combined with the warriors and the Dark Brothers, the combined forces were 3,800 It couldn’t coainst them with those numbers
“But only the 800 Dark Brothers can be used properly The rest were just extra There wasn’t enough tiht be able to train their individual skills
Thus the Baran group was given full-fledgedJusticeMan also divided them into troops based on their specialities And he left their training to the rehabilitation ht skills The 1,000 Baran warriors were divided into the assault groups Of course, the ones who took over their training were the ‘Guardian=assaulter’ which was Bul-kkun and two other people The raphy and hunting was organized into the scouting unit Yapsab and two other e of this unit And the farineer unit and they were led by Bu Dong-san and two others who had changed professions to ‘Guardian=Engineer’ And finally, a nu who had changed professions to ‘Guardian=Strategist’
Ark felt a little worried about JusticeMan’s decisions
‘JusticeMan ajusshi+ is an expert but the other hyungs have never trained anyone so will they be able to teach the Baran?’
However, Ark’s worries disappeared on the first day of the training camp
“The children can’t get it straight?”
“If you can’t do it well then you’ll have to duck walk for two kilometres!”
“Hieeeek!”
The Baran clan burst out screa The rehabilitationin tactics from JusticeMan However, the rehabilitation ers to it All the rehabilitationin South Korea During those two years, they trained in tactics, discipline and drills While it didn’t show in their social lives, all of the eration to say that it was South Korea’s potential In addition, the rehabilitation loomy pasts who used to live in the dark It was a requireanizations to discipline their subordinates Thanks to that, the Baran clan experienced a night in the Netherworld under their dreadful instructors
“Eh? What a?”
“You can’t die from this level of discipline”
“Even the reserve corps in South Korea can train to this degree”
“If you fall behind in this si then brace yourselves!”
“The slogan of our unit is defeat evil!”
Each of the rehabilitation members led hundreds of troops so they burned with competition They pressed the Baran hard because of that
“Oooh, I’”
“I want to fight with the Nakujuk as soon as possible”
The Baran were so tired that they were even saying those kinds of things Anyway, the training was effective Two days later, or 6 days in gaet used to the systee of each other’s specialities In particular, the assault troops showed treees, they were people who had inherited the Baran’s warrior lineage The rehabilitation th and they were now able to otten battle skills alsounit and the Dark Brothers went through joint training while the engineer troops levelled up their skills by repairing Haman Fortress
“Okay, now I don’t have to worry about that”
Ark nodded his head with satisfaction after observing so But the next day Ark had to face a problem he never considered
“Ark-niht”
Lariette sighed as she spoke While the rehabilitation , Lariette had been responsible for requisitioning es The Baran clan was a race which centred on far , they were able to gather an overflowing aather the most important military materials, weapons and armour Of course, even the Baran clan had blacksmiths However they were only experienced with rakes or shovels and had never created a weapon Not only was there no weapons, the Baran clan’s equipe
Daeng kang!
“Huk! The handle broke!”
It was nor It the handle broke then the spear or javelin wouldn’t be able to be thrown There was no need to explain the ieration to say the perforame
‘Unbelievable Every ti is fixed then another problem occurs’
Ark continuously sighed Weapons production was the most important problem that needed to be solved at thea blacksmith now, it would take a while for thereat deal of time and money to become a skilled blacksmith
‘Well, the Baran clan is able to obtain the ores necessary for production…’
Wait, why had he never thought about that?
“Leave the problem to me”
Ark immediately used the Die He visited the raccoon clan and showed them the ore from the Netherworld
“This ore What do you think about it?”
“Ohu, it is a very high purity ore Where did you get it from?”
The raccoons were craftsreedier for the ore than ns of desire as they were shown the ore Ark grinned and made a proposal
“In fact, I’ with a request Would you make weapons for me if I supplied you with this ore? As much as possible I really need weapons so I’ll also supply the coal and whetstone Please take the ore as payment for the weapons”
“You’ll pay for all of it using the ore?”
The raccoon clan thought for a
“We accept Ore is siood ore so we’re quite greedy for it”
That was the method Ark came up with He took the ores from the Baran clan and commissioned the raccoon clans to produce weapons
‘Now the problem of weapons supply will be solved In addition…’
Ark laughed after the raccoons entered into the weapons supply agreeh Ark was the Coh Ark saw the munitions piled up in Haman Fortress, he could only s his saliva Then he had a brilliant idea after hearing Lariette’s words Currently, Ark made all the decisions as the Commander He couldn’t take the war oods to barter for war preparations
‘I’m in the middle so I won’t be able to profit if I deal directly with the raccoons’
The raccoons signed a contract to trade one weapon for one ore and coal There was no way for so cheap tricks, wouldn’t Ark be able to obtain coffee from a well?
‘Huhuhu, there’s also a handling fee when trading through an interent’
The method Ark devised involved Ark’s Co this method, Ark’s store received 1,000 ores froed to the NPCs That was the key The store would pass the ores to the raccoons who created 10 weapons out of them The deluxe weapons of the raccoon family had considerable value to the Baran who didn’t have athe war, he could barter and increase the value to 1,200 ores Ark would then hand over the ores again for weapons production In other words, except for the first tiet an extra 200 ores with every transaction afterwardsIt was like so the table while he picked up the spoon This was just his handling charge
‘I get 200 ores for every 10 weapons It is enough to create one weapon Presently, we need approxiive old if I could sell all the weapons and armours!’
All Ark had to do was go back and forth between Lancel village and the Netherworld carrying the ores Of course, he had to use the Dimensional Movement Powder every time but there was still a lot left Besides, was the powder necessary once the Netherworld rose toon land!
‘Hahaha, war is also money!’
“Buksil, you will carry the weapons between Lancel village and the Netherworld!”
Ark e of the trade route At the end of the deal, Ark would be able to eold In addition, the Baran clan’s lack of equipment was quickly solved At that time, Ark also discovered that the weapons produced by the blacksmiths weren’t all the same Just like Ark could create an ‘A la carte’ dish, the blacksmiths created 50~60 deluxe weapons Of course, the stats for the deluxe itenificantly better than an equivalent item
A Masterpiece Adaic)
Weapon type: One-handed sword
Attack: 33~38
Durability: 400/400
Weight: 50
User restriction: Level 200 and more
An ada the ore from the Netherworld The craftsman put his heart and soul into it and created a rarely seen ular item, the performance of the deluxe item is at least 10 better In addition, it will steadily make fine adjustments to the user’s hand
<option: probability=”” of=”” destroying=”” armour=”” +20,=”” reaction=”” rate=”” +10=””>
“Usually a masterpiece will be ive it to Ark-nim for the same price”
‘Jackpot!’
Ark purchased the deluxe items and then sold them to the rehabilitation members for a more expensive price Even the rehabilitation members needed weapons and armour There was no reason to sell a deluxe item for cheaper than the market price
“It’s usually 40~50 gold but I’ll give these to hyung for 30 gold”
The rehabilitation members’ eyes shone like lanterns at Ark’s words
“As expected, we only have you”
Thanks to that, JusticeMan and the rehabilitation oods The rehabilitation members received better equipment while Ark’s wallet became warmer
‘But it’s still lacking I need 45 million won in two months!’
In fact, JusticeMan and the rehabilitation et a profit fro like that They knew the reason why Ark’s personality was a little strange Thanks to the lease contract, JusticeMan and the rehabilitation members wanted to somehow help Ark They also knew Ark wouldn’t accept such one-sided help so they wanted hiht it with the money they saved
But Ark’s opinion was firm It was the one part Ark was sure about
“I’ll pay 50 gold for these items…”
“No, it is 30 gold”
Ark thought of the rehabilitation group as brothers so he didn’t want them to lose moneyHowever, he wouldn’t hesitate to swindle other users or NPCs That was his firm standards for money It hy the rehabilitation members knew that Ark wasn’t just about1,000 weapons and an informationappeared
<relevant investment=”” information=”” =””>
Thanks to Ark’s Comprehensive Store’s brisk trade, the coe has increased The reputation of Lancel village has increased and Ark’s contribution has increased by 10 The maximum number of shares you can own has increased by 1
Currently owned shares in Lancel village (Owned/Upper Limit):4/6
‘Huhuhu, it orth the trouble’
That was the reason why Ark did the transactions through the store Trading the e process In addition, the raccoon clan ere NPC residents could also learn money Thanks to his achievements, the commercial value of the town rose and his upper limit for shares increased as well Ark nodded with satisfaction before looking at Dedric and Razak
“Come on, do you think you can just play around?”
“Eh? We’re going to train as well?”
Clack clack? Clack clack clack clack?
Dedric and Razak stepped back with a wince
“Of course Aren’t you er?”
