”Still, it's pretty lousy”

Weed felt it was regretful as he looked at the Copper Plate of Rest

The Copper Plate of Rest and the Wand!

They were relics of the Matallost Church he could use to win in the battle against the Ereatly depending on the relics' use

That night, Weed arrived at the village of the first alliance tribe of the Matallost Church, Vejague

The tribesmen were closer to monsters than humans They only had few strands of hair left, with theirspears as weapons

Weed and Smith were surrounded by the Warriors of the tribe at the village entrance

”As an agent of the Matallost Church, I have come to request reinforcements”

Weed broadened his chest and spoke with pride

Ast themselves, a muscular male with tattoos all over his body caent of the Matallost Church, you are our brother Welcoain about why you came to us?”

”I have coainst the Embinyu Church”

The Warrior who caround

”The E We don't like their actions either, but why should our tribe shed blood for your sake?”

Weed quickly glanced around

A perfectly gifted conversationalist doesn't exist It was iood words were, they would be nothing but nonsense to break the atmosphere if they didn't match the situation!

The Warriors were robust and their gazes were piercing They had no qualing expressions

There wereabove their village

”I would like to ue tribe Can you represent the Vejague tribe?”

”I a beasts, I ah to represent our tribe”

Weed explained in a slightly softer tone, ”The ue tribe has calledto such a request is because you are ahbors and brothers living next to you If a brother was to break a promise because it was difficult, the Matallost Church and the Vejague tribe would not be brothers”

Warriors nodded energetically

”Brothers in this together in spite of any difficulty We, the Vejague tribe, will fight together with the Matallost Church”

”WHOAAA!”

The Warriors of the tribe shouted as they raised their spears high into the air and shook the over the first tribe of the alliance!

<tbody>

Alliance of the Deliverers

The Vejague tribe who hunts in the River of Laotiator's Fame has increased by 100

Charhty warrior said, ”Unlike the our Vejague tribe, the other two tribes will not be easy to win over Although they value the promise, and brotherly loyalty equals to ours, each tribe has its own circuht the Eth of the two tribes, especially the Salmere tribe”

Weed rode Yellowy and moved on to the location of the next tribe

Slowly The very slow gait of a cow

The Vejague tribe proather, ill attack the E their fortress and freeing the survivors of the Matallost Church

</tbody>

Because one tribe had given its promise to attack, only 2 tribes remained

On the rocky rasses hard to find in the Versailles Continent were considerable

Weed was h the angle of inclination was very sharp, Yelloalked on without slipping

The Phoenixes spoke, ”Master, the pursuers are at a distance 5 hours behind us If we continued our current pace, they will catch up within 5 hours”

”What's the scale of the enehts, 300 Soldiers and 5 Priests”

”Still being underestihts The crowd of pursuers did not increase as ht”

Words couldn't be spoken by a normal Sculptor!

However, Weed was determined to purposefully draw out the pursuers and weaken the Ee help in siege warfare, he needed to reduced the enemies' numbers beforehand even if it's only little As an S-rank quest, it would be an incredibly difficult battle even if he brings about the alliance of the three tribes

Divide and conquer based on incentives! With the motive to weaken the enemy forces, he instinctively took tactical action

'I'll crush them one by one for now!'

”Hurry and run before the pursuers arrive!”

Whether the drunkard S or not, Weed's ryong Phoenixes”

”Speak, Master”

”No need to wait until they coo and wipe thee”

”Understood, Master! You need not have any concerns”

”Bingryong, you're the commander You must return safely with the Phoenixes”

”Thanks for believing inand the Phoenixes flew to the back as they flapped their wings

Perhaps because of their fire disposition, the Phoenixes were quite aggressive and reckless However, since Bingryong valued his body dearly, Weed had given the position of commander to him

”They'rethe abusing I can't watch theuy”

If not for that reason, there was no other reason to give the stupid and ti the position of leader

After a while, the sky to the west lit up brightly

Ice Breath nificantly Afterwards, smoke from flames rose into the sky

Fire and ice attacks

Even in theand the Phoenixes

After the group of pursuers was deci and the Phoenixes, the Embinyu Church assembled new pursuers once hts 10 Priests, 3 Magicians, 300 norulp

Not only were the pursuers were chasing the as well

With both burden and pleasure, the enjoy

Like when he dealt with the True Blood Va with appropriate tension

The second alliance tribe of the Matallost Church, Lekiye

It was a tribe with Knights and Sorcerers

”We have not forgotten the alliance with the Matallost Church However, too much time has passed It's doubtful if the Matallost Church still has the qualification to act with us”

The Chief of the Lekiye tribe neither welcomed nor opposed Weed

”How should I prove the qualification between allies?”

The Chief said to Weed ”The power of the Eainst thee,”

A test to pass Valley of Courage in the ht without any outside help!

It was the valley the children of the Lekiye tribe ascended when partaking in the coe ceremony

Weed didn't think deeply and sie”

As long as he didn't want to give up the quest, he had no choice but to continue forward

The Valley of Courage!

Weed walked quickly under the dark night sky

The sound of the trees rustling in the as frightening, and it felt like so would jump out at any minute

A situation and place perfect for a test of courage Withouttested

Unnecessary thoughts would ht in fear, even footsteps becaet er take another step

The Valley of Courage was such a place

Because the space of the passage in the narrow valley was only 50 c could jump out from between the bushes or trees It was a place ceaselessly stihts, and made one's resolve crumble!

It would actually be a relief if a host really appeared, however the place was only sti in the dark, the path looked like it could lead to anywhere Anxiety and panic-causing Valley of Courage

Like a chant, Weed”Spinach 2,500 won (~250), sesaes 4,000 won (~4)”

Calculation for a orth's of expenditure!

Since it was dark and quiet, it was excellent forhis household accounts

”We're out of olive oil I collected the coupon, so I should buy it the next ti an event for kitchen supplies I loves in a pretty pink color”

Calculating his shopping list The part Weed loathed the most made its appearance This time was the most difficult and painful

”This month's total expenditures have risen to 8,000 won more than last month It was because of the transaction on the 24th daas price rose”

Si about the date, he could recall the su day He could even list the fluctuations in price fros, savings, savings

Even so, the household expenses absolutely wouldn't decrease!

The biggest worries of housewives were difficult for Weed too ”House expenses: once it increases, it never decreases again”

The desperate battle against the household expenses Having a large incohwas necessary

”I shouldn't have bought the expensive salt froally” He was assailed with bitter regret

By gathering se a about the household expenses, he soon exited the Valley of Courage

Weed's face was haggard and filled with horror

Ding!

The Chief and Warriors of the Lekiye tribe aiting at the exit; after seeing Weed cos dangling on his nose, the chief outstretched his arms

”Brother has passed the test In accordance with the alliance, let us assault the Embinyu Church”

”WHOAAA!” The Warriors shook their spears and cheered

The drunken Sly

”Seee was extremely difficult”

Weed replied feebly, ”It was truly horrible”

”At least it's all over now Take it as a valuable experience”

”I have to suffer it every hosts of the Lekiye tribe within the Valley of Courage are truly terrifying, but what do they look like?”

Weed shook his head ”I did not see ghosts”

Household expenses were hosts

Between the trees and behind his back, the ghosts moved stealthily They weren't obvious, but you could feel soanizing his household accounts that he'd walked right past the!

The alliance of the second tribe taken care of, Weed headed towards the direction of the third tribe

The pursuers caught up quickly and had set up ca through the Dark Knights and the Eo to where the third village was located

”Bingryong, Phoenixes! Get rid of theht between Bingryong, the Phoenix Brothers and the pursuers took place Weed just watched theranted life to sculptures based on aerial h survival rate

”They can't be compared to land monsters”

Land monsters could perish quickly if they were surrounded and received concentrated attacks However, a flying creature couldn't be hunted easily without a Magician or Archer squad

Later, he had to prepare a balance so he could afford both aerial and land creatures But so far, he

The Eryong and the Phoenixes

The highlight of the Phoenixes' power!

”Fire Blaster!”

When the Magicians used offensive ic, the Phoenixes flew enthusiastically

”It'sto eat it first”

As if they were coulps

The ability to absorb fire to replenish Health and Mana!

They also spewed flaround

As the trees burned and the flames spread, the Phoenixes demonstrated nearly infinite Health and attack power

One ic, or Mana Drain skills in order to deal with the Phoenixes Or boic Otherwise, there was no way to defeat the Five Phoenix Brothers!

The Phoenixes flew to the ground and flapped their flahts

”ROOOAAAAAAAAR”

They were doing farwent around with histhem

The force of the Embinyu Church's pursuers crumbled to at least half in an instant

This is the power of the sculptures!

A thought of razed past Weed's mind

”I should make about 30 Phoenixes then they probably wouldn't disappear and die”

With 30 Phoenixes, it would very well be a fiery hell!

With the characteristic of gaining strength froht there would be almost no reason to lose Health!

If it wasn't winter or a rainy day, they wouldn't receivethecouldn't co capability

However, sculptures have sensitive personality

They were quite severely opposed to sculptures looking similar to the to fight each other

The higher the Art stat, sculptures granted life were stronger, so the personality dereater

Due to the lih to handle over 10 of the sao!”

Weed and Yellowy took care of the reether

This is indeed an extree arhts, Priests, Magicians, and Soldiers were all on horseback and chasing us with a speed”

The Phoenixes he sent in five directions to scout had returned and reported

Weed stroked the back of Yellow's neck ”Yellowy, let's go quickly from now on Any more laziness and dinner will be beef soup”

Even without Weed's threat, Yelloas extre stressed to the point of losing his perfectly good fur

Weed's eyes looked like they really wanted to soak Yellowy's head or feet for a while whenever Weed boiled soup!

MOOOOOOO!

Yellowy increased his speed and charged forth with his supple body With speed easily exceeding a horse's, downhill or uphill, he ran without rest

”Bingryong”

”Speak, Master”

”Use Breath once and co to the Elass of , he was ordered to shoot out Ice Breath everyday

The Embinyu Church's pursuers sustained injuries by the Ice Breath and were dying little by little
