Monster Domination: Game’s Strongest Episode 57
[Hahaha the palace is totally fucked]
[Did rank 76 look like a joke to you? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[They were bragging about recruiting Kairen to their guild but look how that turned out lololol]
[And that Kairen wasn’t even there, right?]
[Rain’s face is legendary even in this situation lol]
[Even her contemptuous expression is so cute lololol]
When Rain was completely surrounded by the Araon Mercenary Company.
Viewers watching through the stream of an Araon-affiliated streamer mocked the Bow Mercenary Group, setting the chat on fire.
Even to these ordinary viewers, the outcome of this battlefield was clear.
It was Bow’s complete defeat and Araon’s flawless victory.
“Hehehe. Did you all see that? This is our Araon Mercenary Company!”
The streamer shouted triumphantly, intoxicated by the explosive viewer response.
Everything was perfect.
They had won the war, and the broadcast achieved real-time ranking 1st place.
The sweet donation revenue was a bonus.
Just then, Araon raised his heavy mace high above Rain’s head.
The very moment he sensed that blow would cleanly finish everything.
“Wh-what?”
A massive tremor shook the battlefield that had been filled with the heat of victory.
The sound of hoofbeats thundering across the ground swallowed all other sounds.
The streamer turned his camera toward the source of the sound in confusion, and question marks endlessly flooded the chat.
[?????]
[What the fuck is that????]
[Knight Order??]
[Why is a Knight Order appearing now??]
A silver wave appearing with the sun at their backs.
As everyone burst into shock at the sight of the mysterious Knight Order, the shaking camera angle fixed on one spot.
At the very front of the Knight Order.
There was a man dressed completely differently from those armed in silver armor.
Though the jagged mosaic made it hard to recognize who it was.
That had already become someone’s trademark long ago.
Even without being able to see clearly, everyone knew who he was.
[It’s Kairen!!!]
[Holy shit Kairen joined the gallery lololol]
[Wow, you’re arriving now? What timing lol]
[But wait, what’s that Knight Order then? Did Kairen bring them?]
[How the fuck did Kairen bring a Knight Order???]
Shock and questions covered the screen like a storm in the chat.
And at that moment, a clear shout rang out from atop the hill.
“Charge!!”
Using Allen’s roar as a signal flare, the war horses that had filled the hill kicked off the slope and charged as if they had been waiting.
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-!
A silver wave pouring down the hill.
The vibration and noise created by hundreds of cavalry felt like the descent of angels to Rain.
But to the Araon Mercenary Company, it looked like a natural disaster.
“Damn it! It’s the Gania Knight Order!!”
“What the hell! Why are those bastards here!!”
Before the wave of steel rushing to devour them, the Araon Mercenary Company instantly fell into panic.
Just seconds ago, they had been the victors.
They were on the verge of surrounding Rain and raising a toast to victory.
However, the moment they confirmed the flag of Gania’s elite Knight Order, their victor’s composure turned to screams.
The solid formation quickly crumbled into chaos.
“Fucking hell!”
“Damn! How are we supposed to stop that!!”
The 76th-ranked mercenary company instantly transformed into a ragtag mob.
These were the top 10% of the strong. That’s why they knew all too well.
The destructive power that Knight Orders possessed in New World.
Hidden classes? Rankers? Numerical advantage?
None of that meant anything.
Users still lacked the capability to stop their charge rolling in like a massive wave.
“What is this!”
Raccoon, who had pushed through the users to check the hill side, saw arrogance disappear from his face as shock bloomed.
As the vice-leader of ‘Zenia’, he could clearly picture the future that was coming.
This was no longer a war.
It was just the beginning of a one-sided massacre.
His gaze, after biting his lip, soon turned toward Kairen.
‘Damn it! What kind of relationship does he have with the Lord of Gania?’
A brat not even level 30 had formed strong connections with nobles that even they couldn’t achieve.
Biting his lip hard at the unbelievable reality, he acknowledged that the guild leader’s judgment hadn’t been wrong.
That brat was an extremely dangerous character.
If he grew further from here, there was no telling what a great threat he would become.
But now wasn’t the time to worry about that guy.
First, they had to somehow defuse this disaster.
At that moment, New World’s mercenary company war system flashed through Raccoon’s mind.
Official wars between mercenary companies were decided by the death of the opposing guild leader.
“Araon!!”
Raccoon shouted as if coughing up blood, pointing at Rain still trapped in the encirclement.
“Did you forget the war system! That woman! We just need to take Rain’s head! If we kill that woman before the Knight Order charges in, we win!!”
“…!”
Araon’s eyes, who had been half out of his mind, flashed.
That was right. If they just killed Rain, the Knight Order and everything else would be for nothing.
Araon, gripping his mace properly, raised it powerfully again.
“Uaaahhh!!”
Just as the final desperate struggle toward victory was about to strike Rain.
“It’s already too late.”
Kairen, watching that scene from atop the hill, let out a sneer.
At the same time, Garuda above their heads shrieked sharply, tearing through the battlefield’s noise.
Screeeeech-!
The magic storm that had been condensed from the start struck them.
Kwaaaaang!
A massive storm imbued with holy light.
Due to the extreme level difference, it couldn’t deal significant damage, but it was enough to stop Araon’s strike and shake the encirclement.
And Rain didn’t miss that momentary gap.
Kicking off the heads of users staggering from the storm’s aftermath, she leaped and gracefully escaped the encirclement in an instant.
“You, you stupid fool!!”
Raccoon, who had been watching from afar, exploded in fury.
However, his rage could no longer reach the battlefield.
Kwaaaaang!
His body, which had collided head-on with the knight order’s vanguard, was sent flying and tumbled pathetically through the air.
* * *
[??? What? What the hell just happened??]
[Holy shit lololol is this Kishidan for real?]
[Wow, first time seeing a knight order charge, that’s fucking scary lol]
[Wow that was insane lol it was seriously so freaking fun lol]
[What? So how did the war end? And was that really Kairen?]
[My friend’s in Araon Mercenary Company, apparently Bow won the war. The one who brought the knight order was Kairen.]
[Is that bastard Kairen seriously using cheat codes or what ㅡㅡ]
[My friend said Kairen is the game company president’s son?]
[Asked AI, apparently Kairen spent an estimated 1 billion in cash, does that seem right?]
The broadcast that ended abruptly when the streamer died from the knight order’s attack.
Nevertheless, the aftermath didn’t cool down and heated up various communities.
Rain, who had the same questions as them, looked around with a hollow laugh.
Hundreds of knights filling the battlefield.
It was an unrealistic scene that was hard to believe even seeing it up close.
These people followed Kairen to help her?
Why? And how?
It was absurd.
It felt so unreal, like she was dreaming.
Receiving support from an entire territory’s knight order.
That was impossible even for the current Rank 1 Mercenary Group.
Kairen, who wasn’t even a ranker, had accomplished it.
It felt like all the game knowledge she had was crumbling down.
Just then, Kairen approached, and Rain asked with a trembling voice.
“H-how did this happen?”
However, Kairen raised an eyebrow and asked back.
“That’s what I should be asking. What’s with the sudden war? And why didn’t you tell me anything?”
At his seemingly angry voice, Rain awkwardly scratched the back of her head.
“Sorry. It felt awkward to call you to war when your level is still low. If I knew this would happen, I would have called you earlier.”
In her own way, it was consideration.
She thought that with him not even over level 50, it would be difficult for him to play a big role in war.
It was a huge mistake.
“The cause of the war was the enemy’s provocation. Well, I don’t know if it was one person or not.”
Rain’s gaze turned to Araon and Raccoon, who had become cold corpses sprawled on the ground.
It was still just suspicion, but there were more than a few suspicious points.
If she dug into it seriously, something would definitely come out.
“Kairen. What will you do now?”
Then, Allen, who had been organizing the area around the battlefield, approached and asked.
Due to the skill’s effect, he could still keep the Gania Knight Order under his command, but the war was over.
There was no need to keep them any longer.
Kairen smiled and bowed his head.
“Sir Allen. Thank you. Thanks to you, we overcame a great crisis. You may return to Gania now.”
“Compared to how you saved our lord, this much is nothing.”
Allen smiled faintly and mounted his horse.
“Well then, see you later.”
Following him, the knight order soon left the battlefield, and Rain couldn’t hold back and quickly approached to ask.
“No, seriously what? How did you do it? Huh?”
Looking at her eyes sparkling with curiosity, Kairen briefly explained.
“It’s a quest reward I received from the Lord of Gania.”
“Holy shit! A quest reward is knight order support? What! That’s totally overpowered!”
Rain’s voice grew louder at the reward that exceeded imagination.
“But the cooldown is 180 days. Since I used it today, I can use it again after that.”
“…! 1-180 days?”
What the hell?
The ridiculous penalty was absurd.
As a fairly high-ranking ranker who had enjoyed the game for a long time, she had never heard of a 180-day cooldown.
However, having just witnessed that overwhelming power, she thought such a penalty was perhaps natural.
At the same time, gratitude toward Kairen surged up from deep in her chest.
He had used such a precious skill for them.
“Thank you. I told you to just trust me, but I ended up receiving help instead. I’m ashamed.”
Feeling like she couldn’t face him, she scratched her cheek and looked at the distant mountain.
“You’ve already helped me a lot.”
Kairen lightly tapped her shoulder, relieving her guilt.
Actually, the help he had received from her was by no means small.
Though it was called a contract fee, he had received a huge sum of 40 million won.
He had also received generous support for materials like logs and stone.
And most of all….
‘Without Bow, it would have been more troublesome than now.’
Even though he had a mercenary group affiliation, there were still those targeting him.
He couldn’t even fathom how tiresome it would have been without Bow.
“So what should I do now? Is there anything else I can help with?”
“It’s fine. There’s a mountain of post-war cleanup to do, but Kavel and I can handle that. Of course, I’ll make sure your share is the most generous.”
Rain smiled wickedly, thinking of the massive compensation she would extract from Araon.
And it wasn’t just compensation.
With this war, the Bow Mercenary Group’s status would skyrocket in the game.
Not only users, but wars between such top mercenary groups would reach the ears of NPCs too.
Better requests would obviously come flooding in.
And such results were undoubtedly because of Kairen.
Whether money or items, she intended to give him the best reward she could.
“What about you? What were you doing before coming here? Do you have something else to do?”
Suddenly curious, Rain asked, and Kairen nodded greatly.
Having rushed here urgently, there was still a reward he hadn’t checked.
[Ancient Empire’s Fortress Dominion Rights]
It was time to go check that land that had lost its master, the Minotaur.
