Chapter 2: Swaying Public Sentiment

The central reception room in Aren Castle

Darius showed up at the place where athered

“He handled the dirty ell and this time it bit him back”

“I was lucky compared to him In the end, it was all exposed”

“But Darius has always been favoured by the leaders so will he be punished?”

The users gathered in the reception rooroup that was the Hermes Guild only aimed for victory! Military commanders ere defeated would be openly punished Their territory or troops were given back, or they uild

“The death of a thousand people It is a proble responsibility Darius is no different”

”Indeed Draka-nim hasn't come out since that day”

As a commander in the north of the Haven E defeated in a great battle with the Arpen Kingdohly disciplined and lost a lot of power

“It is the end for Darius”

“He doesn't have a solid background or strong forces If a hunting dog who failed to hunt is let go, the guild's discipline will be destroyed”

“I don't want to see hido of guild leaders, including Lafaye

”The disaster at Mols Dungeon You were the leader No one survived under your cooal to kill Weed?”

”Yes That's correct”

Darius boith slumped shoulders He showed a subservient appearance that reflected his sadness and sense of responsibility

“But you were so focused on Weed that you didn't notice the trap in advance”

Lantan, one of the guild's leaders, questioned in a sharp voice

“The result of the battle was that 1054 people were killed Compare that to the northern users where only 34 people died As for the power, it was confirh the broadcast that the northern users had fewer nu to say about this result?”

“It was because I didn't knoas unaware”

Darius had no excuse for the battle

“Hoould I know if there were 500 or 1,000 enemies without any prior infor away”

“We tried to co chased”

“Tried? What is the point of trying if there are no result?”

“Are you saying that all the users who participated in the operation are fools? If that was the case, would the results be any different for anyone else here?”

As Darius refuted Lantan's accusations, a cold aura flowed in the central reception room

”It is difficult

“This tiet rid of Weed”

Lafaye and the leaders talked bitterly as they watched

Fro problem However, the opinions of the leaders were divided into two

“It is certain that this operation has failed In consideration of fairness, we can't let you go So I will propose an official punishment”

“The Her The trap to catch Weed has failed…”

“The probles More than 200 ain”

“They won't stop talking about the deaths I feel like I really aain”

“We lost too helplessly Further the corpses of the users at a necrorow faster”

“I looked at the dungeon video They didn't fight well by any standards”

The Hermes Guild users wouldn't tolerate the mistakes of others

There was a fierce competition and solid treatment for the winners

This was the secret behind the Heruilds

Lafaye ca the opinions of the leaders

“Darius has failed to honour the Hermes Guild with a victory There will be a two rae, that he oill increase to 30”

Darius' heart turned away the moment that he heard Lafaye's decision

'Yes In this way, don't they only end up eating sweet things?'

He had struck in the back of the head in the Rosenheidom From the time he joined the Hermes Guild, he had no affection or loyalty towards it

'I can't believe in those guys I have tofrom Aren Castle, Darius secretly disposed of all the assets of Chegras, vineyards and farh the auction site to avoid ruent so it wasn't difficult to hide it for a while

The Her earned a lot of assets but he had to sell it cheaply However, even that was a huge a dog tasks that were difficult to resolve

The assets disposal took one or two days, and valuable itees were sold

Darius quickly gained an intervieith KMC Media that evening

He was notorious a behind He became known to the viewers as the one iped out in Mols Dungeon

“Are we live now?”

“It isn't a live broadcast, but will be shown in an hour after so Any problems will be reported to the director ill hed, revealing his white teeth as he watched the reporter It was like his teeth were specifically made to miht?”

”Yes It would be good if you coeon”

“Of course, I will be sure to do that but… I would like to tell an i It is all being recorded”

The intervieas taking place within Royal Road

Video recording was supported through the basic syste state comfortably

“The Hermes Guild is rotten”

”Huh?”

“The leaders are shameless and incompetent”

The reported was surprised

“W-what are you talking about…? Why are you suddenly criticizing the leadershi+p?”

The station had down its own prior investigation

He never thought that the person known as the Her it

“Lafaye oat to hide his stupid commands”

”Ah You are a victi into Weed's trap at Mols Dungeon ht”

The reporter nodded

Darius had hurried into the dungeon with his whole ar

'But it won't be appropriate to broadcast this excuse…'

Darius said in a loud voice

“We failed in the information warfare Secondly, Lafaye and the leadersdecision Honestly, it istois known about it?”

”Yes I understand Please keep speaking”

”The invincible Hermes Guild? How funny They are only cheap shi+t when associated with Weed I fought hard and failed, only to be turned into a scapegoat The ones who are really in the wrong at those who sit up high and give orders”

The reporterBut hoe edit it?'

He was a hound dog biting his owners It was certainly a funny sight, although there were a few issues

Still, it was unclear whether the intervieould be broadcasted

‘We can use an excuse It is necessary to set aside a major portion of the news'

If they put the video on the Internet then they could get more audience attention

There werethe Hered like a victim

“The Hermes Guild hasn't learnt fro co And Bardray curls up like a jerk and doesn't do his share of the hunting”

”…”

The reporter's eyes grew bigger

'If he talks to this extent then there will be a large ripple effect on the news'

Darius’ unstoppable words continued

“I acknowledge the ability that Lafaye has shown in the past as he led the Hermes Guild Yes Thus, he was able to conquer the continent But that ability has a limit It is too bad”

”Yes yes I think so”

Darius continued blasting the Hermes Guild

The reporter was interested for 10 minutes, but he soon became bored

“Reporter-nim Do you kno much dirty work the Hermes Guild has done?”

”Huh? Of course, they have received a lot of public criticiss they committed secretly The so-called hidden truths”

Darius revealed the black history hidden by the leaders of the Her dog and gathered his own inforreed of the leaders, it was common for them to drive bandits to plunder the merchants in their territory

“i worked to fix the habits of the powerful lords within the guild”

“What were some specific tasks?”

“I spread hts with specific people or move merchants to other places”

“There must be a blow to the lords”

“Of course The lords are in high positions so they have to be ta Some lords had their economic poeakened and were driven from their positions”

”They went that far?”

”Yes Specifically, I led the rebels in the city of Bordeman”

”The rebels”

“I was the leader of the troops I pretended to be a trustworthy person while the rebels turned the city upside down I also fought with the lord's arive any sense of excite that this covert operation was done for the purpose of ruling over the city”

“A ruling act? It wasn't like that

I feel bad standing on the side of those leaders”

“Do you have any evidence of what you spoke about?”

”Of course I have videos of that ti orders from Lafaye are all recorded I will pass it to you at the end of the interview”

Darius released 42 secrets and KMC Mediate broadcasted thes and many sites related to Royal Road were full of stories about the Herht

-Really dirty things I had no idea it would be this inally at this level?

-They see rid of everyone in the political arena They are doing politics in Royal Road

-The Hermes Guild can do that much because of their size

-It is unacceptable to do such things

-Is there only one side? The Hereneral users for disguising as rebels…

-Hull The Hermes Guild is too much

-Too much They must be destroyed

-Let's et

Darius smiled as he checked the reaction of the Internet

The pubs on the Central Continent were filled with voices of dissatisfied members of the Her with er in Royal Road

He tried to cli the Hermes Guild but eventually failed and fell

'I shouldfor a chance The success of a pioneer'

Darius had a plan in his head

Expose Lafaye and the Hermes Guild to reduce their presence

In the process, he would earn great fame and favour from users and he would be treated well if he dodohable level But it is good to gain a position because there are es'

He would do to Darius' plan

-But Darius is the one who looks the worst

-A hunting dog is only a hunting dog

-Biting his owndogs make it harder to live in the world He truly is the tail of the Hermes Guild

The Hermes Guild scandal that ca station were in a quiet place

“Direction Yoon-nis come out? It is too bad”

“Huh We also have an intervieith Darius, but it was a day late so we s… It is just a pity that the exclusive was -sun, the new press director of CTS Media, expressed a little bit of annoyance in his voice

“KMC Media often gets scoops”

“They are often associated with Weed… Isn't it ti up?”

“Hoh We need to have knowledge”

Yoon Chang-sun, a director in his late 40s was younger compared to the other directors

Apart froathered

“The only way is to go back to the basics of broadcasting, live coverage”

“Live coverage… That is a good word”

“It is always ihed and waited for the folloords

They were able to overco stations to reach the position of director

Yoon Chang-sun was the one who suggested this secret -sun looked at the is the purpose of the coverage There is an explosive interest in Weed As you know, just sending a hunting video would have good ratings”

“That’s right”

The other directors agreed

They had obtained intelligence that Weed had gone back to the past to hunt

'Is such a quest possible?'

‘Another adventure? Thiscan happen on Weed's adventures'

The broadcasting stations were in the process of sending gifts to Weed's house

Yoon Chang-sun knew about it but pretended not to

“But fro station, there are a few ingredients needed to get high ratings”

”These ingredients are?”

“Due to this disclosure, I found out that our CTS Media has gathered a lot of information about the Hermes Guild Is it the same for the other stations?”

“Of course We have so one”

Han Sang-gyu, director of the online station Royal Spider, expressed interest

“Until now, the influence of the Hermes Guild… To be honest, I hadn't wanted to broadcast it because I wanted to cooperate with them for some broadcasts Shouldn't we expose the infor-sun said with a confident expression on his face

The directors' heads beca stations will simultaneously expose the Herh The Versailles Continent will be turned upside down but on't have to worry about their revenge'

‘The Herth as before The absolute power of the Central continent is also collapsing Even without the rebels'

The directors noticed that this was the

However, the director of KR Channel shook his head

“The stations have to maintain neutrality in the dispute between users Won't it violate that neutrality if we use the Hers?”

”No The neutrality of the broadcast itself is still important But if there is news about the Hermes Guild then shouldn't we have report it?”

The directors started calculating after Yoon Chang-sun's words

“We aren't criticizing or exposing We are just telling the truth”

“We aren't affecting the sense of perception I don't think it is a bad thing to return to the original way of reporting”

There was a sy the directors

The walls had crumbled due to an unexpected variable called Darius If the broadcasting station started to report the black history of the Hermes Guild then a floould be s rose and they couldn't catch the flow then the stations would only lose money

They had to at least follow behind

'There is no objection Then I will ask'

This was the secret to proevity of a worker

-The truth of Danang Dungeon

-The secret killers

-Being deprived of treasures through coercion

With the exposure of Darius and the news of the broadcasting stations, the Royal Road bulletin boards became noisy like a beehive had been touched

“I am also a victim of the Her”

“They just took it?”

”Yes They told o If I refused they would kill me, so there was really no other choice”

Intervieith the victims were shown everyday by the stations In thethe information they had kept back

“They tried to kill uarded the entrance of a novice hunting ground and old They killed me when I didn't have the et into the hunting grounds”

“The Her I alondered about theout the answer”

The actions couild piled up at once

Weed didn't care about the situation and just focused on hunting

The battle at Kallapik Castle that lasted one week!

After defeating a crowd of round with exhaustion

”Uwah… I won't be able to fight even if I am killed”

“My vitality is at the very bottom It was endless The invasion of the monsters led to the destruction of the palace”
