Return To Level Up

The monsters that were pouring out of the Rocky Mountains began to decrease gradually, and then they became quiet.

The Awoken at the foot of the mountain had to fight for a full 30 hours.

In fact, if he had known this would happen, Steven wouldn't have acted in haste.

I had no idea that so many monsters would run for so long.

Had I known, it would have taken about 20 hours and the Guardians would have exhausted their power as much as possible before leaving.

Perhaps if they did, the Guardians would have been smashed, and the Defenders would have been able to make a name for themselves by cleaning up the situation after that.

However, the Guardians' early performances were so great that I couldn't afford to even think about it.

To be honest, I didn't know we would fight for this long.

In any case, the wind yielded disappointing results.

The Guardians united and fought the monsters. The monsters who were fighting the Guardians for some reason did not have enough power.

So even after fighting for so long, there was little damage.

Even if the damage he received was sufficient, he immediately healed it by using a potion he had.

The Defenders, on the other hand, did not.

The Defenders rushed to fight the monster because Steven suddenly ordered an attack.

In the beginning, it exerted a powerful force and temporarily pushed the monster away, but in the end, it was forced to fight in an unformed state due to the constant influx of monsters.

Fortunately, there were a lot of Defenders, so he managed to survive, otherwise he would probably have been annihilated.

That's why this fight was so hard and fierce.

Steven looked around at the monster corpses piled up everywhere. Anyway, the money was definitely made.

'Damn it.'

But he couldn't like it. Awakenings of the Defenders were scattered around the pile of monster corpses.

He suffered tremendous damage in this fight.

It's enough to heal the wounded by using potions and mobilizing Awoken with healing skills.

The sequelae may remain, but they too will eventually be cured with time.

The problem was the dead.

The dead don't come back. It will be a permanent loss.

Not only that, but they also have to pay compensation to their families.

Thinking about that, Steven sighed.

Then he turned his head and looked towards the Guardian.

‘How the hell can you do that?’

Even though they fought for 30 hours, they were all alive and well. Of course, there was a lot of fatigue. But no one was blown away.

It was a scene that was clearly compared to the Defenders.

The Guardians were cleaning up the monster corpses piled up around them.

He is sure to take care of their own.

Anyway, this operation was a failure. It was also a huge failure.

'Can't we just move on?'

Steven's expression darkened.

A beautiful woman from Jennifer's family approached Steven like that.

“Is it all over? What happened?”

She glanced at the Guardian and shook her head.

“It didn’t go well.”

Steven kept his mouth shut as he had nothing to say.

“Don’t be too exhausted and cheer up. Can you help me get stronger?”

She moved closer to Steven, her eyes twinkling.

Steven's eyes widened. He was even more surprised because he was not expecting at all because the operation had failed.

“What are you so surprised about? Now, come this way.”

She was faithful to her mission.

It was her right and duty to replenish her exhausted power through her failings.

* * *

“The Defenders have withdrawn from the Rocky Mountains.”

Kang Ha-jin was slightly surprised by Yoon Kyung-min's report.

“Isn’t that the place the Defenders really cared about?”

“It was. But this time, he seems to have been very disgruntled.”

Yoon Kyung-min smiled cheerfully and explained in detail what had happened there.

Ha-jin Kang, who heard the explanation, lit up her eyes.

It clearly showed how much power a combatant can exert in many-vs-many battles.

As she traveled around the world, she took a lot of time and care to recruit guild members as fighters, and she felt like she was rewarded for it.

“We have decided to expand our support from the Canadian side,” she said. They decided to give us all the support they were sending to the Defenders.”

“If the Defenders are gone, there will be a shortage of people right away.”

“So we decided to send more people.”

At Yoon Kyung-min's words, Kang Ha-jin tapped the table with her finger and fell into thought.

She thought maybe this could be an opportunity.

She recalled Hajin Kang's recent message when the number of combat soldiers exceeded 50,000.

[The number of combat soldiers under his command has exceeded 50,000. The power of the lord, Seretrope will be further strengthened.]

The source of the power of Lord Seretrov comes from the combat soldiers.

Therefore, as the number of combat soldiers increases, the strength also increases.

When Seretrop's power grew stronger, it meant that the power of the fortress he possessed would also get stronger.

Also, his training camp is getting stronger.

As the strength of the fortress grew, the number of combat soldiers that could be registered in the fortress increased slightly.

In addition, the range of activities of combat soldiers increased.

Ha-jin Kang, who had thought about that, looked at Yoon Kyung-min and said.

“Why don’t you take this opportunity to clear up the Rocky Mountains?”

"Yes? Clearing up the mountains? Are you saying that we will also withdraw?”

Kang Ha-jin shook her head at Yoon Kyung-min, who had a very troubled expression on her face.

“It’s not that, we’re going to wipe out the monsters in the mountains. Then, wouldn’t it be possible to manage it like the United States in the future?”

Yoon Kyung-min opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"Yes? That, is that possible?”

The Rocky Mountains are huge. Naturally, the number of monsters inhabiting it is enormous.

This time, they fought fiercely because of the Defenders and drastically reduced the number, but the number of monsters left is still beyond imagination.

Besides, what to do with the many dungeons in it.

If you leave it there, no matter how much you deal with the monster, it was the same.

“We’re going to put the people we used to put into Russia.”

They were torn apart around the world after a second catastrophe called the Russian Crisis, each fiercely hunting.

From then on, the desire for growth grew and he pushed himself fiercely.

So, if you mobilize for this kind of work, everyone will welcome you with open arms.

The problem was that several of them became commanders.

The rest were also likely to become commanders in the future.

They could be said to be the very core of Guardians.

Yoon Kyung-min scratched the back of his head with a troubled expression.

“I will make adjustments. It's going to be a little underwhelming, but if you fit it around, you'll be able to get it pretty close."

“How many guild members are left?”

Kyungmin Yoon smiled.

“Where will the rest of us be? It’s just picking a little bit from here and there and guessing the number.”

It was planned to fill the vacancy in the number of people who had been pulled out with new recruits.

It may be a little squeaky at first, but if you get it right, it will become a fairly effective new recruiting system.

“Let’s make it a little bigger.”

"Yes? Even now, I'm overdoing it, but..."

“If the situation in Canada is sorted out, won't the manpower problem be solved at once? There are a lot of people working there.”

“No, it is, but that’s not what it is, is it?”

“You know that I firmly believe in Yoon Kyung-min, right?”

“That’s it, you know.”

"Please."

After wiping off the cold sweat, Yoon Kyung-min, who had a troubled expression on his face, took a deep breath and shook his head.

“Well, I have to do something. This is what the Master wants.”

Anyway, that's how the Guardians' conquest of the Rocky Mountains was decided.

* * *

Dozens of drones flew over the Rocky Mountains.

Drones scattered in all directions scanned the distribution of monsters in the Rocky Mountains and the status of dungeons in detail and transmitted the information to the base camp.

Of course, there are dungeons located in places that cannot be checked by drones, so it is not accurate information, but it was a great help in setting up a strategy.

Below the mountain range, at the base camp, Kang Ha-jin and other elite members of the Guardian gathered.

There were as many as 100 people, and the momentum emanating from each of them was considerable.

They leveled up a lot while hunting in a huge dungeon in Russia, and after that, they were scattered all over the world and fought fiercely.

Now they have become one of the strongest in the world.

As they became combat soldiers, they became stronger, and those who became commanders among the dogs became even stronger.

Hajin Kang looked at them and judged their level.

First of all, the average dungeon existing in the mountain range would be enough to close with five people.

New type dungeons are a little different. It will need at least 30 people to close it.

Of course, if you can use the time indefinitely, even 10 people can do it, but this operation requires clearing the dungeon quickly.

That way, it can be managed through continuous attention in the future.

From then on, you can do it yourself in Canada.

The Canadian government was also very interested in the Guardian's operation this time.

He also said that he would not spare full support.

They said they would put in every Awakener they could mobilize in Canada, so I could see how much they had high expectations.

So it must be successful.

When the operation begins, from then on, it will start promoting it around the world.

Perhaps after this operation is over, the position of the Defenders will be narrower.

Because the Guardians have reclaimed the Rocky Mountains they had given up on.

A promotional strategy has already been thoroughly established.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

“Come on, let’s divide the number of people.”

Ha-jin Kang first made two teams of 30 people and then made 8 teams of five people each.

“Kim Ji-hye and Lee Ji-young just need to close the new type dungeon. For the rest, just close the general dungeon by group.”

Everyone nodded with determination.

Kang Ha-jin looked around at the rest of the awakened people and grinned.

“We're going to deal with the rest of the mountain range monsters. And your Canadian friends just have to clean up the monsters that are pushed down.”

The Canadian Awoken nodded with a heavy expression on their faces.

They were fully aware that this operation was very fierce and dangerous.

Of course, the monsters that come rushing down while plunging through the mountains will be ferocious.

Fighting those monsters is no easy task.

“Well then, it’s a waste of time, so let’s start slowly.”

As Ha-jin Kang took the lead and walked towards the mountain range, everyone was busy.

Hajin Kang's buff spread widely and landed on all Awakened people.

Everyone clenched his fists, feeling a sudden uplift.

In particular, the feelings felt by the Guardians' guild members were more intense.

Also, Hajin's buff was much stronger than the buff given by [Cry of War].

This was incomparable.

‘What else happened in between?’

Ji-hye Kim and Ji-young Lee looked at Ha-jin Kang's back with awe.

The conquest of the Rocky Mountains has begun.

* * *

There were five fortresses of Serretrop in the Rocky Mountains. And 120 combat soldiers were deployed in each fortress.

Originally, it had an activity range of 3 km in radius, but as the number of people available increased to 120, the activity range was also increased to a radius of 5 km.

It has even become possible for some soldiers to enter after briefly leaving the area of ​​activity depending on the circumstances.

And it got stronger the moment Ha-jin Kang entered the fortress.

After arriving at the fortress, Ha-jin Kang confirmed new information.

[The monarch joins the fortress, increasing the morale and abilities of his soldiers.]

[When receiving orders from the monarch, the range of activity is temporarily doubled.]

Doubling the range means that it can cover a range of 10 kilometers in radius.

This should be enough to deal with the monsters in the mountain range without any problems.

Then all that's left is the dungeon.

Among them, the most dangerous dungeon was at the end of the fortress's active range.

Hajin Kang headed to that dungeon.
