Aaron and Dariowyn arrived at the large gates of Stonehaven Town just as the sun was about to set on the western horizon."Enemy!"Several soldiers who were standing guard at the top of the town's fortress tower immediately gave a warning as Aaron and Dariowyn approached. An army of archers was immediately readied, aiming bows toward them.Yet, before everything was too late, Aaron quickly took off his helmet and revealed his true face."I am human and I am not the enemy!"Following his master, Dariowyn also removed the helmet from his head.The guard soldier signaled for the archers to lower their weapons, before asking Aaron and Dariowyn, "Why are you wearing orc armor?!""So that we can arrive at this place in one piece," Aaron replied in a loud voice so that his words could be heard from the top of the tower."Why are you coming to Stonehaven Town?""To join your army, fighting the orcs." Aaron chose a simple answer, one that the troops of Stonehaven Town would certainly not be ab
Because Aaron currently had the same position as a warlord, he got an empty villa that was luxurious enough to live in for a while, at least until the war was over.After making sure that the villa didn't have any listening devices or anything like that, Aaron called Dariowyn to open a unique item given to him by the village chief in Prosperity Village.The item was kept in a medium-sized wooden box with beautiful carvings on it."Lord, my wild mind tells me that this is a trap," Dariowyn said idly."Dario, don't make me doubt at a time like this." Aaron gave Dariowyn an unhappy look."Forgive me, lord." Dariowyn bowed his head."It is not a problem. There's no way that the village chief would give us anything dangerous after we helped him and his village. You have nothing to worry about."Aaron said that boldly, but his hands trembled slightly as he began to lift the lid of the wooden box. Inevitably, he anticipated the possibility of what Dariowyn had said. But when the wooden box
Aaron didn't panic at all. He remained calm. Even more than that, he inwardly praised Rong En's quick and agile movements.'She's very fast, like a samurai who takes out his sword when he realizes the danger. I should learn from her after dodging this attack.'"[Thunders Sword: Blink Step]!"Although the magic attack sent out by Rong En was already classified as extremely fast, it could never be faster than the [Thunders Sword: Blink Step] that Aaron mastered. The attack was easily dodged.However, Aaron had to pay for it with a huge hole in his living room wall.Boom!The magic spell shattered bricks with ease, creating a perfectly round hole in the living room wall.Aaron coughed as the dust from the explosion flew around the room. Shaking his hand, he looked at Rong En and said, "That was a very quick move, Rong. If I didn't have the special skills to evade that magic spell, I would have met the same fate as this wall."Rong En instantly realized that she had just made a dangerous
Aaron gulped as his face began to sweat. While on the other side, Rong En looked at him with an uncomprehending look. The girl surmised, did Aaron execute a crime at Leen's house?"Aaron, is everything alright?" Rong En decided to ask directly."Y-yes, I'm fine." Aaron wiped the sweat from his face while trying to smile. "Thank you for your help, Rong. If it wasn't for you, I would have been in trouble. Now that your work is done, you can go."Coughing softly, Rong En's face turned red as she said: "If you don't mind, I'd like to stay in Stonehaven Town for a while.""But, what for?" asked Aaron. "You must know that this town is unsafe right now, isn't it?""Absolutely," said Rong En. "I want to help you.""Are you sure? I can't guarantee that you won't get knocked out in this dangerous battle. There are more than a hundred thousand trained orc warriors outside the city walls, they could attack us at any time while the current city guard troops still don't have enough strength to anti
Aaron added that all players would gather in a large meadow a few miles south of Stonehaven Town, a place called Grassland Haven."Why don't they gather in the town, lord?" asked Dariowyn."That is not possible, Dario. The Orc army has surrounded Stonehaven Town from all sides, making it almost impossible to reach the town from the outside. So we will attack them from the outside, suppress them from the inside."With such a two-pronged attack, even an army from a large kingdom would feel overwhelmed. Moreover, the orcs did not have the same intelligence as humans.Aaron felt confident that Stonehaven Town would gain victory in this battle."In that case, what do we say to the town guard?" Dariowyn asked again."You don't need to burden your mind with that, Dario. Let me do it, it's my duty."After asking Dariowyn to stay in the villa, Aaron immediately left for the army barracks to meet the combat commander.On the way, he saw many soldiers going around and knocking on the doors of th
"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
