Chapter 85: Total Mobilization of the Ten Thousand Gods Guild
It has been four months since the appearance of the TTG Guild.
Ever since the Otherworldly Lionheart, Leon Dragonia Lionheart, set foot on Earth, they, or more precisely, Leon, have always brought issues.
The first issue was the complete cleansing of the Naju Plains, the appearance of blessed crops and the virtual cure of diseases.
The crops have been in plentiful supply since the blessing’s rapid growth, but next month, when the full harvest is due, they’re sure to bring a huge shock.
Considering the prime farmland in Asia and the fields that will be harvested by the Maverick Guild’s S-class Hunter Allen and Minutemen, the world will be divided between the Blessed Crops and the rest.
The second issue is the defeat of Yakt Spinner, the nightmare killing machine of Cheongju Gate.
Not only did the S-ranked Hunter, Golden Chul, the semi-S-rank Huang Yeon-ha, and the Mage of the Tower along with Leon took down the elusive field boss in one fell swoop, but he also brought him into his guild as a survivor.
At one point, there was a consensus that the Yakt Spinner should not be accepted after slaughtering so many Hunters, but even that has been silenced in recent times.
As the first official Holy Knight of the TTG Guild, his overwhelming network dominance has not only erased all negative comments about TTG Guild, but has also led to retaliation.
The third issue is the training of the lowest-ranked Hunters, the D-rank Hunters, and survivor Beatrice Aligieri Spero.
He took hunters who weren’t even used as carriers at the average D-ranked gate and not only raised them by one rank in just one month, but he also cleared the fluctuation gate where an Archdemon appeared.
No matter how powerful Leon himself was, the performance of the D-rank Hunters in the video was far from D-rank.
Although the organization was briefly criticized for its harsh human rights abuses and inhumane treatment, the miracle of rising in rank in just one month drew countless Hunters to enlist with hope.
And a new survivor of that fluctuation gate, the Magician Queen of Spero.
A Hunter of at least S rank and a rare mage at that.
Her beauty was obscured by a veil, but a reporter conducting an interview caught a glimpse of her face and collapsed in a heap of bubbles.
Since then, the Hunter Academy’s collective draft incident, the Firebird and Golden Lion Guild’s failed assault on the Jeju Island Gate, the appearance and defeat of the Demon Archduke, the relocation of the 10,000 kikiruks, etc........
The TTG Guild has been at the center of every issue, and it was well documented on the official TTG Guild YouTube channel.
And now it’s been four months since the TTG Guild appeared.
When the famous TTG Guild was about to receive the fourth wave of recruits, they became the center of attention again.
-Dude, this place is a joke.
-What?
-There’s a truckload of Hunters on the bus.
-I think they’re from the TTG Guild. I saw Yappy.
-...there were a bunch of kikiruks, too.
It was an army march.
The TTG Guild is larger than most guilds.
Usually, a guild would select a limited number of guild members to form a raiding party.
Usually 50 and even if you count 100 people for the second invasion team and a reserve, it’s about 130 people.
This is only true for small and medium-sized guilds and above, who can bid on gates and rotate them from time to time.
Guilds in the provinces usually operate in small groups of 3-40 players with no reserves.
However, the TTG Guild was basically a supply chain.
The first and second level Man-At-Arms and Knight Cadets alone numbered around 300. Add to that the third and fourth generation recruits, and you have a thousand. Out of the 10,000 survivors of the kikiruks, there were around 2000 warriors.
Even taking into account the kikiruks, this is a superhuman army of 3,000.
Considering that they are promoted to C-class hunters after passing the four-week hell course of the TTG Guild, their power is unparalleled.
Everybody else is doing it in small groups, but only the TTG Guild is organizing an army.
-The gate opened in front of Gwangju Station, and the TTG Guild appeared! It’s Han Ha-ri. Isn’t he an employee of the Association?
-She’s almost like a dual citizen these days... It’s weird. Yesterday, the TTG Guild entered the gate in front of my house? This is Gangneung, by the way.
-Yeah, there’s a gate here in Wando, and the TTG Guild is there? It’s Yappy and the kikiruks. What are they armed with? They’re fucking murderous.
-Wow! The queen is in Hwaseong! The wind scattered the veil on her face and everyone fainted. What is it?
-The Lionheart King appeared in the sky! The orc gate was left unattended for four days, and they attacked!
-You mean the New World Department Store in Sindong-dong, Dongnam-gu? Hey, there was one here in Buldang-dong yesterday.
-Are they crazy? They’re just going to capture it in one day and move on to the next gate?
TTG Guild had divided their 3,000-strong army into 20 attack squads to clear gates across the country.
The higher-ranked troops were led by Leon, Yappy, Beatrice, and Han Ha-ri, while the lower-ranked gates were quickly taken by cadets and Man-At-Arms.
In particular, the kikiruks were taking down gates at an alarming rate.
“Let’s go, shoot that way!”
-Bang! Boom! Boom!
The monsters inside the gate were swept away by the indiscriminate bombardment of the firearms-armed kikiruks.
While modernized weapons are ineffective inside the gate, the sacred shells that Yappy made himself are a different story.
“Ammunition is limited, so reload and prepare for an all-out war!”
At the low-ranked gates, rather than the high-ranked gates, Yappy warriors swept through the gates with great firepower + faithful armor.
As they swept through the gates, the domestic hunter guilds voiced their disapproval.
-This is too much. There are more than 20 gates that the TTG Guild has taken in the past four days.
-Never before have so many been awarded to a single guild. The Hunter Association’s favoritism is threatening the survival of small and medium-sized domestic guilds!
The average guild gets two gates per month. When you’re a top 10 guild, that number increases to three or four, but that’s for a month.
“Uh, um.......”
Ha-ri looked confused. She was a goddess of two gods, but she was also a strictly state official.
The reason she was here in the first place was to report the events that happened at the TTG Guild.
“Your Majesty... you’re not doing anything that would harm the country, are you?”
“Of course not.”
“Then I will believe in His Majesty!”
Ha-ri knew Leon’s eccentricity, but also his justice, and as long as that upright justice was not shaken, this negligence was acceptable.
Leon had assembled his entire top tier force, including Beatrice, Yappy, and Han Ha-ri, and only a handful of knight cadets who could ride horses.
“Ready, Your Majesty.”
Beatrice was ready. She placed the holy sword at the center of the magic circle and designated the magic stones for sacrifice.
Using the information she had thoroughly gleaned from Hildir, the Beast God’s shaman, she activated the magic circle, and the stacks of magic stones in the warehouse began to shake.
“......!!!”
Everyone was stunned by the phenomenon before them. The magic circle swallowed up the spirit stones like they were being sucked in, forming a gate the size of a truck!
“A gate?”
“A gate...artificially created?”
Until now, the gate had been a random phenomenon, and now Beatrice had created it right in front of their eyes.
“What is this.......?”
Leon, Beatrice, and Yappy, the machine, are the only ones who don’t panic at the situation in front of them.
The knight cadets are left speechless by the shocking truth that is unfolding before their eyes.
“Let’s go!”
Leon leads the way, followed by Beatrice and Yappy. As the last of the cadets in the raiding party entered, the gate glowed as static as ever.
* * * *
As they entered the gate, the peculiarly dim vision returned. Leon furrowed his brow at the tinnitus in his ears from the commotion.
-Chang! -Chang!
“Hmm.......”
Familiar sounds were heard, it was the cacophony of iron clashing against iron was a sound Leon had grown accustomed to throughout his life.
“As expected.......”
Scanning his surroundings with his restored vision, Leon was not pleased to see that his prediction was correct.
Soldiers in armor battling ‘green-skins’ and knights on horseback slaughtering a pack of bears and wolves.
This was a battlefield.
The soldiers of the Lionheart Kingdom were fighting very familiar and repulsive creatures.
-Stop them! Don’t let them get through here!
-Damned orcs! How dare they dig a trap!
-We must buy Lord Jerea time!
“Jerea?”
A familiar voice called out from beside him.
“Your Majesty, what is this place?”
The two knight cadets, Han Soo-ho and Jae-hyuk, were in the middle of the battlefield when a flying axe came flying towards Jae-hyuk.
“Jae-hyuk!”
As the axe came to rest on Jae-hyuk’s nose, there was a flash of light.
Leon’s holy sword and a shield from out of nowhere simultaneously parried the axe.
“Uh, thank you.......”
“Knights, why are you lingering there?”
The soldier, the one who had sent the shield flying, came running back with his shield back on like a magnet, and when he spotted Leon, he immediately fell to the ground.
“Your majesty, how did you get here...!”
The soldier on one knee wore familiar armor and decorations.
Orc skulls on each shoulder, a distinctive sawtooth blade and the dark blood makeup on the inside of his helmet recalled familiar soldiers.
“Baltaric Orc Crushers.”
“Yes, Your Majesty, I am Beverly, company commander of the Sovereign Baltaric Legion!”
“Rise. Where is this place?”
“What? Oh, no.”
Beverly was taken aback for a moment by Leon’s unexpected appearance and questions, but then she began to speak dutifully.
“We were attacked by orcs and barbarians on a convoy for Lord Jerea’s holy relics, and most of the convoy is currently fighting them off!”
He remembered.
This had happened in his reign.
This was the last mission of ‘Jerea the Twilight’, the Holy Knight of Dreams and Death, a holy convoy.
It was a disastrous mission that ultimately failed and the Holy Knight along with his knights were killed.
