Chapter 7: Siege of Fort Odin
”…”
”…”
There was a heavy silence near the gates of Fort Odin
Numerous users stood on the side of the roads, on the walls and even on the trees and rocks in the mountains
Pint looked at the for hiun
”He really cae If I died at that level then I would cry”
“I would be happy to die like that”
“Pint is a good man… I kneould coe nothing”
Pint saw quite a few familiar people at Fort Odin They were users that he went hunting with, completed quests and shared meals with
It was difficult for Pint to conceal his sadness as he saw them
'They came to watch me die'
Even so, he had bravely come here and didn't intend to turn back
'Go forward and die'
The gates of Fort Odin
It was a strong war that was hard to penetrate with 300,000 elite troops during the time ar occurred every day in the Central Continent
Pint walked towards the open gate and stood still Although he caates
”Pint has arrived”
Jaikeson, the captain of the east gate's guards, shouted loudly The archers guarding the walls pointed their bows in unison
3,000 uarding Fort Odin and were strengthened during the tih taxes
The elite archers aiic bows
But before attacking, Jaikeson talked to the Herate
“He is on the stab to death list?”
”Yes The lord put him on the list as soon as he heard about it”
”Hu… I hunted together a lot with Pint I have been helped many times”
“So have I Many people here know him”
“But we have to kill him?”
“Well, it can't be helped We can't spare him There are no exceptions”
It happened when Jaikeson was about to order the archers to attack
A user walked over to Pint as standing alone
”Pint-nier-niood weather to die”
The sky was clear and sunny The as cool so it would be nice to go soer was also an early level 500 user of Fort Odin He had often hunted together with Pint
“You don't have to do this because of me”
“The heart was moved It was a comfortable decision Besides, the Hermes Guild has already seen ether”
Two level 500 users It was a terrifying force that was impossible for novice users
It wasn't a level that tankers of the Hermes Guild could easily beat if there was an encounter in the hed
“Wah… It really is a waste to die like this”
“If I was going to die like that then I would just fight”
“They are fighting”
“That is fighting?”
“They are resisting the force of the Her in”
“Indeed…”
The Hermes Guild that was centred on the power of oppression!
They were confronting a power that was ie
The broadcasters at the scene praised Pint and Ulluger's courage
”It is a with Pint”
“Is the user called Ulluger?”
“His level is estimated to be over 500 He started at Fort Odin There are many users who don't know because he is a hunter but in the early days of Royal Road, he was strong enough to be areat?”
“An early growth is definitely a favourable feature of a hunter Still, it is great that he uild”
“There are two courageous people”
The local users of Fort Odin knew about the situation due to the broadcasts
The Herate appeared on the broadcast but they didn't stop frowning
It was unco deal Besides, even they knew that their actions weren't so good
‘A bad thing But won't this benefit us?'
'Who cares about other people's situations? Step on theer That is the law of the world'
‘Die and kill Royal Road is such a world There is no respect for the weak'
The Hermes Guild user’s faces were harder than usual
It was a bit uncomfortable because they remembered that Pint's article about Royal Road had becoo
'If it wasn't for the lord then this wouldn't have happened'
'Even if he wanted to press forward through force, couldn't he handle it '
'If things get bigger than there will likely be sanctions fro it in the guild channel
-Jaikeson: Ulluger has stood beside Pint Should we still attack?
The answer from Chesturo came within one or two seconds
-Chesturo: Wipe out all the rebels!
-Jaikeson: The two people are famous There are many people that follow them
-Chesturo: We can't back off And there are those who o out because of herois thehly
The Herht that the perfect word for their lord was 'stubborn'
“It can't be helped It is strange since it is being broadcasted However, we can't spare them It isn't my responsibility”
Jaikeson played the role of villain as he ordered the order while the spectators watched
“I should do so like this”
“I will be sick if I endure it any longer Royal Road is fun but I felt frustrated when reading Pint's article”
”Kuhu… I didn't talk about it in advance because I thought it was ridiculous”
“I just quietly waited for you to come”
Froathered beside Pint Pint had been standing alone in front of the gates but that soon swelled to 1,000 then 2,000 people
“Let me show you ill happen if I' have I lived? I have to resist even when pushed by real power Only then can I live”
The ate In a situation where they executed Pint first, there would be severe backlash against the Her at a distance stared then plunged in
“Pint cao!”
Inside Fort Odin, users heard the news and pushed towards the gates to stand with Pint
”Eh… How did this happen?”
”Why are there so many all of a sudden?”
“Kill everyone?”
The Herates panicked There were only 4,000 troops deployed at the gates of Fort Odin
”Shut the gates”
”Yes Prevent ates were closed in order to prevent Pint's forces fro However, people just lined up inside Fort Odin
It was the backlash of the users to Pint's words and the rule of Fort Odin
“Kill everyone who gathers!”
The Here army was e of Fort Odin!
The battle abruptly occurred, with eneral masses
“Give us freedom!”
“Get away from the Hermes Guild!”
The merchants at the stalls and travellers picked up their swords
It wasn't planned as the people just had their hearts moved
Blacksmiths picked up their hammer or axe and went out to join the rebels
“Take action so that the rebels don't spread further
In Fort Odin, Chesturo, the Hermes Guild and the soldiers started to suppress the rebels
The result was the annihilation of the rebels!
City buildings were destroyed and many users lost their lives
Usually wars ended with a retreat or a lull in the fighting on both sides, but the rebels fought until the last one was gone
“It is now cleaned up The losses on our side?”
“There are 79 e is large because the battle occurred suddenly You should have cleaned it up faster”
“I didn't know that it would becoion was properly cleared so no one has challenged the power of the Her time”
“It isn't so bad to show off once in a while Even if it is only for the sake of training the troops who have relaxed due to peace”
The Hermes Guild users at Fort Odin celebrated their victory
They hunted faained lots of loot and experience
Looking ahead, the high-level users would now leave this area
It wasn't a good thing for the econo profits for the o to another area The Central Continent is wide'
‘Once Pint is revived, there will be a professional tea loot, to be gained'
The Hermes Guild users were satisfied
Chesturo, the lord of Fort Odin, also protected his pride so he drank high-class sake froold
”I' on the outskirts of the gates!”
“Are there still so for a while and just want to take a break However, I can't oo Quickly clean it up and come back”
The Hermes Guild were lazy but still tried to join the battle
They had grown familiar ar and conquest
”The scale of the troops gathered outside the gates… At least 50,000!”
”What? Isn't that ht before?”
“There are also rebels inside Fort Odin The scale… At least 40,000”
Chesturo and the Hermes Guild started a second battle
This time, there were more users and the overall level was better than the first tiht with their defense facilities but still lost more than 20,000 troops
“The cost for repair is over one ain”
“Can we charge the guild?”
The lord and aides of Fort Odin had a headache after the battle But these battles were relayed all over the world
In the early days of the first battle, it was just sos becaer broadcasters joined in The story was a dispute between the Hereneral users, so they tried to keep neutrality through guests But a participant on the side of the Hermes Guild made an impromptu remark
”I honestly don't understand Is there a reason for the rebels?”
“I think there are enough reasons”
”No The Hermes Guild killed more than 13 million people in Royal Road so far”
“It was that ures from the wars The Hermes Guild dory have the right to kill”
“The right?”
”Yes That is the law of the Hermes Guild”
“I feel bad for the novice users at the hunting grounds ere slaughtered hundreds of times by the Herht to do that?”
“They are doing the right thing It is interesting”
“What about the position of the side being killed?”
”If they think it is unjust then becoer quickly Who told them to be weak?”
It was a live broadcast so the writers crossed their arns These cos However, the bulletin board was becoe thetheir attitude these days as they are still lowering the tax rate”
“We can do it for a little bit Although I will kill if I a the Hermes Guild as evil…”
“I don’t understand you Why shouldn't I speak honestly? The Central Continent is do to our will Massacres? Who cares? Can you live if you are weak? If you get used to it then you won't be angry”
Since the broadcast, users who knew the story of Fort Odin posted on the Royal Road bulletins
-I'ry Wake up
-Be patient If I lose my patience then I will lose my life
-I have decided I will pick up my sword to defend my self-esteefully when I've ignored it so far?
-I can't turn a blind eye The pain will remain for the rest of my life
Pint's article was spread all over the place
In addition, the broadcast footage for the people's emotions heated up
There was also a broadcast coverage of Chesturo after the victory
“What do I think about the rebels? We did well I a up the sword I don't know about my subjects”
A mere five hours after the second battle of Fort Odin ended
“Give us freedoether!”
”Anyone is welco down We are sinners? We will show them what it means to be trampled on”
