"No, that's not necessary." Aaron rejected it outright. "Bringing troops while infiltrating is something that will endanger us all. I'm just going with a friend, nothing more.""You know best, mister." Cedric nodded his head. "So, when will you begin the infiltration?""As soon as possible," Aaron replied. In the meantime, I expect that you tell no one, sir."I know what I must do." Cedric flashed a gentle smile.***Aaron's villa, Stonehaven Town.As soon as Aaron entered his residence, he immediately found Rong En who was having a light conversation with Dariowyn in the courtyard. Seeing his arrival, the two of them stopped talking and began to approach Aaron."Are you looking for me, Aaron?" asked Rong En directly."Yes. I want you to join me in sneaking into the orc army base." Aaron didn't mince words either."Really?" Rong En's face flushed red from excitement. "When?""Right now.""I'm always ready." Rong En nodded her head enthusiastically. "But, is it just the two of us? And
"I only need to perform one surprise attack within a very short time limit. It would certainly be foolish of me to intend to defeat them all by myself," Aaron retorted while signaling Rong En to lower his voice. "I won't take more than ten minutes, more than enough to get all those catapults broken."Aaron then explained that Rong En only needed to give him the buff once, after which she had to run back to town as fast as possible.Rong En still felt that this was too risky and she could get herself into trouble if Aaron knocked her out. Leen would not accept any excuses from him."Aaron, wouldn't this be a good time to call Leen and ask her for help?" said Rong En."It's too late." Aaron shook his head. "Just do what I say, and I promise you won't get in trouble with Leen because of me."After seeing Aaron pull out the Night Sky Sword, Rong En felt that he had no other choice but to obey the young man's words.Pulling out his wand, Rong En began to chant.[You receive 'Goddess Bless'
Aaron took a long breath before stopping his activity. Turning around, he found Leen standing in the doorway, her arms crossed in front of her, looking at Aaron intently."I received a direct reprimand from the CEO of Martial Online Company. He said that I had let my guard down against you," Leen said in a cold tone. "In fact, you even threatened Rong En with a gun to help you with this crazy mission. What are you going to say now?""I was just doing what I thought was right, Leen.," Aaron tried to remain calm as he replied."BUT YOU JUST PUT YOUR LIFE IN DANGER!"Leen exploded like a volcano that hadn't erupted in thousands of years. She snapped at Aaron right in the young man's face, in a very loud voice."Putting my life in danger?" Aaron frowned. He was not at all affected by the yelling. "Leen, this is just a game. If I get knocked out, then I'll only lose experience and repeat the level. I won't lose my entire life just for dying in this game."Ru
The underground tunnels turned out to be much longer than Aaron had thought. The scenery never changed, making the journey truly nauseating.But after everything, Aaron felt a great admiration for the workers of the past who had made this long path underground with a structural quality that was close to perfection. Aaron wasn't sure how long it would take to complete the construction, but it would certainly take more than five years of non-stop work.On several occasions during the journey, Aaron came across several wells and inventories of food and weapons. Although most of the items in the inventory were unusable, some of the wells were still filled to the brim with potable water.This journey with the same scenery always made Aaron momentarily forget that their horses needed to rest and drink. He only really realized it after the pace of the black horse he was riding began to slowly decrease."Stop here and give the horses a drink!" He ordered Dariowyn and Rong En at the back.They
"Lord, this is a good opportunity for us to hunt and collect EXP. Why don't we attack some of these monsters before we move on?""No." Aaron shook his head firmly. "Hunting monsters will take quite a bit of time, while we need to get to Grassland Haven before the sun even rises."Dariowyn only nodding head before looking away from the bear Destroyer Beast that had been his target for a long time. As much as he wanted to, Dariowyn would not be able to attack the large monster because his master had forbidden it.Just as the sun was about to rise, signaled by the sky beginning to turn purple, Aaron's party finally arrived at Grassland Haven."This... is impossible, so impossible..."Rong En was almost speechless once she saw that Grassland Haven's vast grassland area which should have been empty was now filled with large tents and a sea of people.This was not the first time Rong En had seen so many players gathered in one place, but the girl still believed that Aaron had managed to gat
Large round boulders flew toward the city wall, before hitting it with great force.Thanks to the diligent efforts of its builders in the past, the city wall has not been toppled by boulders from enemy catapults alone. It still stands, at least for now.However, some boulders managed to get past the fortifications and destroyed the city buildings, and killed the soldiers in the rearguard.Cedric in the watchtower looked on with a stunned look, but he was unable to do anything to prevent the catapult attacks from the enemy troops. Casualties would still fall.Stonehaven Town had been stuck in peace for hundreds of years. Without warfare. That made them care little about battle readiness, leaving the town with no large catapults for defense.Huge boulders flew toward the city wall, before hitting it hard. Loud booming sounds filled the air, making the townspeople feel uneasy. They tightly closed the doors and windows of their homes while praying that the battle would end soon.In the wa
Aaron, Dariowyn, and Rong En carefully led their troops around the orc army that was besieging the fortress. They decided to attack the orc army from the rear, a strategy that was quite daring but could potentially put Stonehaven City in danger, as the orc army was under great pressure to enter the city gates."I think we should make a direct attack from the front," said Dariowyn, one of the squad leaders. "We can break the enemy's concentration and damage their formations. It's also more honorable than a sneak attack from behind."Dariowyn was a knight, so it was only natural that he would make considerations based on a knight's attitude. One of them was not to sneak up on the enemy, especially if the attack was done by stabbing from behind.However, Rong En disagreed. "But that would leave us too open to enemy attacks. And if they can defend themselves, we'll be in a very vulnerable position."Knowing how important this victory was to restoring peace in their region, Aaron wanted to
However, it was all too late for them. Now besieged from two sides at once, there was really no hope left for them. There wasn't.The number of orc troops dwindled dramatically before Aaron, the MC of the battle, beheaded the last remaining orc.Raising his orc-blooded sword to the sky, Aaron shouted in a loud voice, "The battle is over! We won! We won!"The entire army from Stonehaven Town and the players alike raised their weapons high in cheers!Cedric fell to his knees before bowing his head to hide the tears that began to stream down his cheeks.The warlord truly did not expect that Stonehaven Town would obtain victory. Even since the beginning of the battle, such hopes had been dashed as Cedric saw the number of orc troops that were no match for Stonehaven Town's strength.But somehow, Aaron suddenly appeared as a savior god. Just because of his presence, Stonehaven Town managed to turn around a situation that looked impossible.For a very long time, Aaron's name will be immorta
