Chapter 611: Is it Bichor or is it Bichon?

Most of the guilds and kingdoms of Asgan Continent had initially decided to side with the Luvien Empire in this war. This was because of the endless possibilities that they would have, as well as the grand majesty of the Luvien Empire.

However, these players changed their mind after they received a visit from Minhyuk’s executives. Was the reason solely because of Minhyuk’s words that the executives delivered? The answer was no. It was also because Minhyuk promised them compensation. Compensation that would depend on how many troops of the Luvien Empire they killed and how much contribution they made once they accepted the Unlucky Sword Emperor Ellie quest.

Of course, various community sites had been notified about this and the same thing had been sent to each of the kingdoms and guilds in the continent.

[The Beyond the Heavens Kingdom promises compensation to those that come to the aid of Eivelis Empire.]

[First. Upon accepting the ‘Unlucky Sword Emperor Ellie’ quest and joining the ‘Luvien Eradication Alliance’, you will immediately receive 50 million gold.]

[Second. You will receive various rewards depending on the number of soldiers of the Luvien Empire that you kill. You will also receive the ‘Food God’s Dishes’ depending on your contributions.]

[Third. Beyond the Heavens’ King Minhyuk will personally cook and provide at least Unique grade dishes for those that kill Centurion-level enemies.]

[Fourth. Various classes, including swordsmen, spear masters, tamers, necromancers and the like, that achieve a high contribution will be able to receive teachings for one day from ‘Death’, ‘Elpis’, ‘Kaistra’, ‘Konir’, ‘Cerberus’ and many more instructors.]

[Those that wish to join and fulfill the above requirements have to go about it in ‘secrecy’. If you become Luvien Empire’s target, you will not be able to avoid incurring tremendous damages.]

[On top of that, the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom will also fight in secrecy for the Eivelis Empire. May the tides of war be always in your favor.]

That was right. The Beyond the Heavens Kingdom promised huge compensation. Since this would apply to all of the Korean players, everyone believed that this would become a huge loss for the Beyond the Heavens. However, there was something that they got wrong. Minhyuk was not an idiot.

“No one has stopped the Luvien Empire’s advance.”

But in the process, the players that fought to protect their continent would be able to earn great rewards. They were generous rewards given by Joy Co. Ltd. for the players that had to suffer unconditionally from the invasions.

And just like Minhyuk had declared before, they would be the ones to create a guild alliance, the Luvien Eradication Alliance, and lead these people that would join them accordingly.

‘We will monopolize a significant amount of contributions. On top of that, the rewards that we will receive from this will be far more amazing and greater than the rewards that we willingly gave away.’

However, there was just one thing. And that was…

“Everything is under the assumption that we will be able to stop the Luvien Empire.”

Minhyuk had watched the videos of Argaon Continent and Luvien Empire several times. From what he saw, he could tell that their odds were slim. But at the very least, they still had some hope in succeeding.

The Luvien Empire was divided into several armies. Their situation right now was like a defense game. Once they stopped them and a certain amount of supply came in, they would eventually leave. And Minhyuk had the best ‘hero’ in this defense game, which was none other than Bichor. There was a high chance that the world would witness Bichor's performance in this war against the Luvien Empire.

But before that…

“Bichor. If I challenge the attack completion rate of at least 80% again, is it possible to ask the God of Blacksmiths to produce an artifact for me?”

“Fufufufu. Of course, Your Majesty. It is said that the sword created personally by the God of Blacksmiths can even cut down the sun that gives off light.”

“…”

Minhyuk wondered if Bichor truly needed to say it in that way. He then looked at the gate, the place that he was headed to next.

‘Noona.’

Ellie was a very important figure to Minhyuk. In this war scenario, she was destined to be deposed. But even if the scenario was expected to proceed like that, Minhyuk would find a way to twist it into something else. Also…

‘This time we’ll go for overgeared and overdished. We’ll bring both.’

Minhyuk would make a sword for Ellie in this place, as well as a buffed dish.

The entire world turned their attention to South Korea after hearing that the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom decided to participate in the Luvien Empire’s invasion and moved to unite all of the Korean players. Of course, their decision to participate was because of the Beyond the Heavens, but most of them had other reasons.

‘We will stop what the entire Argaon Continent could not stop.’

‘If the Eivelis Empire does not fall here, then we will receive astronomical rewards.’

‘We have been in the Eivelis Empire for too long for us to let it collapse on its own.’

That was right. The Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s intervention was already enough to sway the hearts of all of the people that fostered good and warm feelings with Eivelis Empire. Most of them were fighting for the rewards, but deep inside, they held the memories that they spent in Eivelis Empire tightly and dearly. There was not a single Asgan Continent ranker that had not been to Eivelis Empire. On top of that, Eivelis Empire, led by Sword Emperor Ellie, was strong.

As for Joy Co. Ltd., they also decided to prepare something special this time, unlike the situation with Argaon Continent. Currently, an epic story about a grand and holy battle to protect the Asgan Continent was unfolding.

Only one video was playing in the electronic displays all over the world, even in Ztube, Facebook, Instagram and many other social networking sites. Everyone’s eyes were trained on the video.

The video showed a thousand ships, bearing the praying symbol that represented the Luvien Empire, crossing the seas of the Dragon King. It also showed around three million troops wearing helmets and releasing an overwhelming momentum as they marched the road of the Stars’ Path.

Then, the video flashed past the marching Luvien Imperial Army and panned to where Nerva Sephiroth, the Luvien Empire’s emperor, was. With a glass of wine in his hands, Nerva Sephiroth said, “The Continental Emperor will disappear from the records of history today.”

Just as the video flashed and panned to where he was, the scene moved back the way it came and showed the Asgan Continent’s entrance to the Stars’ Path. It also showed the huge army that filled the Dragon King’s Sea. There, Sword Emperor Ellie stood wearing a black horned helmet and leading an army of five million. Dozens of enemy ships appeared on the horizon behind her.

Ellie did not say much today. She just looked at the young boys that took arms and came here to protect Eivelis Empire, holding their weapons tightly as they trembled in fear. These were the people that had been with her all their lives. Standing with them were the powerful army that Eivelis Empire fostered and nurtured. Then…

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Hundreds of cannonballs appeared in the skies.

“Ughhhhhhh…”

“We, we’re going to die! All of us are going to die!!!”

“Waaaaaaaaaah. I want to go home!!!”

Ellie leapt to the skies and swung her sword, creating a beautiful line in the air above them. Following the movement of that line…

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!

The hundreds of cannonballs failed to reach the troops on the ground and disappeared into nothingness. The moment Ellie landed on the ground, she looked at the enemy line and said, “For Eivelis Empire!!!”

“For the empire!!!”

“For the empire!!!”

“For the empire!!!”

Millions of troops prepared for battle with Ellie at the lead.

At the same time, the phrase that Joy Co. Ltd. had prepared started to appear on everyone’s screens.

[The Descendants of the Asgan Continent, will they be deprived of their land or will they be able to protect it?]

This phrase caused the hearts of many Korean players to burn with a blazing desire, as they started to connect to the game.

Commentators from all over the world were paying attention to Asgan Continent’s current situation as they began their spiel.

[Advertisements are just advertisements. In fact, the Eivelis Empire and the Luvien Empire have not yet collided.]

[Just like what you have seen in the video, there are large armies that are advancing both in the sea and the Stars’ Path.]

[We can expect the Luvien Empire to reach the Asgan Continent in a few hours.]

[How do you think Ellie will go about stopping the Luvien Empire?]

[There are several routes that lead to the Asgan Continent and in turn, the Eivelis Empire. Of course, there are several fortresses built in those places. The key would be to protect these four fortresses: Lumatri Fortress, Embrou Attack Station, Paido’s Ramparts, and Belbour Fortress.]

[Ellie is deploying troops to each of the fortresses with the support of the guild alliance and the kingdoms, as well as the Eivelis Empire troops.]

[But will they be able to withstand the Luvien Empire? Argaon Continent had ten fortresses. But it only took a few days for these fortresses to fall. That’s the main reason why the emperors and kings knelt down with their faces flat on the ground in front of Nerva Sephiroth.]

[That’s what makes Empress Ellie so cool, right? She’s the Continental Emperor that never gives in.]

[But despite the situation, most of the guilds and kingdoms in Asgan Continent are operating as usual.]

[And if you look closely, the support troops that came to help Eivelis Empire did not carry any flags or wear armor and weapons that bear their ‘symbols’.]

[This is so that the kingdoms and the guild alliance can hide themselves among the troops of Eivelis Empire.]

[If they went to war against the Luvien Empire and they lost, they would risk losing their favor. However, this is only something that applied to ‘individuals’. If the Luvien Empire recognized their group, their guilds and kingdoms would most definitely be wiped from the face of the earth.]

[Everyone has their own way. And they have their own smart tactics. In other words, Luvien Empire might have a suspicion but they would have no hard evidence to prove those suspicions.]

[From what I heard, the person that planned all of this was the ‘Food God’?]

[Those that know will recognize him, right? Of course, that is only if you believe it.]

[Come to think of it, we haven’t seen anyone from the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom, right?]

One of the commentators mentioned that.

[Who knows? Maybe Beyond the Heavens is really not there?]

Beyond the Heavens Kingdom’s Haze, who was wearing red armor and a cape bearing the symbol of Eivelis Empire, looked at the place where the members of Beyond the Heavens Kingdom had disappeared to.

If it was just something ordinary, she would definitely have said no. However, Haze was fully convinced of the cause. She was fully aware how important Ellie was to Minhyuk. Besides, she was confident that they would be able to gain more and recover all of the losses that they have incurred this time if they could block this.

The Beyond the Heavens Kingdom would also hide their identities and fight for Eivelis Empire. Of course, the Luvien Empire would definitely suspect them, but they would have no evidence to prove their claims. What they decided to do was to camouflage themselves and blend in with the elite troops that Eivelis Empire had nurtured.

The problem however was the fact that it was Black Dragon that was leading them. The words of Black Dragon, the appointed leader that was going to command the guild members of Beyond the Heavens, flashed in Haze’s head. Just like a true and honest chairman, he pondered deeply about this one matter and said, “Since we’re going to be a part of the Eivelis Empire’s elite team, I came up with a name for us.”

Everyone present felt terrified. It was because they were fully aware of how bad Black Dragon’s naming sense was!!!

“It’s Power Infinity Great King God General Magister Dark Breaker Team.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Everyone was speechless. That was when they heard Locke ask, “Father, the temporary name that we will use is Power Infinity Great King God General Magister Dark Breaker Team?”

“That’s right. Fufufufufu. I’m already looking forward to seeing how our enemies will shiver in fear once they hear our name.”

‘No, I think we’re going to get stabbed before we even finish saying that name…?’

Seeing Black Dragon laugh happily while saying the name, Haze reminded him, her face turning red from shame, “Why is our name Power Infinity Great King God General… Ah… It’s too long…”

Since it was too long, they decided to just use a shortened version and go with Dark Breaker Team.

That was how they moved out and went into action.
