Videos related to Vargo Fortress pull in a lot of interest as it was the Undead Legion’s previous base and presently Weed was the lord.
At first, even if it was Weed, the people thought that he would give up on the region because of its dangers. But as they watched on, they could not help but be admired by the constant videos of the players and residents coming together and defending the fortress.
There was no safe days, they had to continuously fight and defend the fortress. It was a region where they survival was a daily battle. It was a fortress and a hunting ground.
Regardless of Vargo Fortress’s development it was a place that drew in popularity. It was the forefront where warriors from the Northern continent gathered to fight perilous battles with the monsters.

Baran village was located south of Rosenheim Kingdom. It was a famous city where the player could gain a seed for doing the elder Ghandilva’s request and use it to ascend to the City of Heaven Lavias. There was also the statue of goddess Freya that Weed made in his earlier days with immature workmanship, but the piece he sculpted in Seo Yoon’s image made the village widely known!
“Really, it’s a well-made sculpture.”
“If this woman really existed, it will be great. Just seeing her face I could live happily forever.”
“Perish the thought. This kind of woman does not exist in this world. It’s Weed’s sculpting skill that is unbelievably advanced.”
The visitors’ went to sightsee the sculpture once before leaving to hunt or they converse with the residents. Meeting the residents allowed them to hear stories about quests, hunting grounds or talks of new dungeons.
There were pre-established dungeons but monsters could, later on, gather together and create a new one. The residents or the hunters could spot such signs beforehand and if the players built up intimacy with them, they could hear about such stories.
However one day the village people started becoming slightly strange.
“I will serve wholeheartedly.”
“Yes?”
“Listen to the teachings of the great god that will protect this worthless continent.”
“……”
Some residents were looking at the sky blankly. When the players got closer and engaged them in a conversation, the told a story.
“I have to offer my money to the church. To create a bigger army! Half of my income is no great loss.”
“What…”
“That army is going to save us.”
“Which army is going to save you?”
“Ack! I cannot tell you anymore. If you don’t have a holy heart then leave the village now. Only Embinyu god can clean this sinful world…”
The players coming to Baran village’s seeking its quest were amazed by the unfamiliar response from the residents. Wasn’t the Church of Embinyu the ones plunging the Central continent in disarray?
And one day the village elder Ghandilva no longer gave quests.
“The people who believe in the Church of Embinyu will receive the seeds for free.”
It was a difficult choice for the players to make. But there was an undercurrent that suggested many changes were coming.
And one day, the sculpture of goddess Freya that Weed carved was destroyed.

Bardray prepared for battle.
“It’s been a long time since I went out to the battlefield.”
After establishing their foundation, Hermes guild no longer needed to fight obstinately.
Hunting monsters, or receiving recognition from the Tower of Warriors, they were ahead of the pack. They did not lack any military subjects in Royal Road.
But the reason for them to start this war, this fight would define Hermes guild.
“We have to show our strength to everyone. We must achieve victory.”
In the fort by the border, Bardray prepared his weapon and went outside. The infantry and knights, mages with siege instrument prepared to march. Their target was Kallamore Kingdom!
With the Haven Kingdom secured, Hermes guild gathered their military forces to occupy the Kallamore Kingdom, initiating a war to conquer them.
The shape of the Black Knight Bardray appeared. The players and the soldiers welcomed him with silence.
He was the one that represented Hermes guild absolute and ruthless power. The showed their respect to the person who climbed to the Versailles continents strongest position. Without saying anything to them Bardray climbed the horse that was prepared for him.
“Advance.”
Following their commander's words the fort gate opened and Haven Kingdom’s army advanced toward the Kallamore Kingdom.
“Haven Kingdom’s army is approaching.”
“Ring the emergency alarm!”
The Kallamore Kingdom’s border garrison responded immediately. To repel the enemy invasion, the fortress gate opened and the defense force came out.
“Attack! Attack!.”
Bardray on his horse, ran ahead.
“Bardray is participating in the battle!”
The soldiers and players affiliated to the Hermes guild were focused on Bardray who was at the forefront. The mere fact that he was participating in the war was enough to boost morale to the friendly forces.
“The Black Knight Bardray is at the Haven Kingdom side, fighting against us?”
“How can we fight? Should we just surrender?”
At the Kallamore Kingdom’s castle, the mere fact that Bardray was approaching Kallamore Kingdom was enough to instill fear. Bardray’s valor in battle, his achievement of becoming the top player was so great that it struck fear into the soldier’s heart.
“Unblockable Assault!”
Bardray and his Black Knight guards rode together.
Knight skill that could only be learned together! Currently in Versailles continent, it was known as the best assault skill. Not only did it increase the horse’s speed, it was an assault that pierced in a straight line, smashing through any enemy obstructing their path.
Bardray and the Black Knight guards pierced through the crumbling enemy defence line and established a breach. Like people possessed, the Haven Kingdom soldiers gave a loud war cry.
“Everyone attack!”
“Occupy Vatten Castle! Let’s push on toward the Kallamore Kingdom’s capital and trash it!”
The players and soldiers of the Hermes guild raise their sword and shield and charged. As the siege weaponry broke down the castle wall and gate, Bardray was the first to go in.
“Kill Bardray.”
“To protect Kallamore Kingdom Bardray must be killed. Attack!”
Enemies lunging at Bardray felled by 10, 20 people every time Bardray swung his sword. This was strength that no broadcast or video ever showed!
Bardray displayed a force of arm on a different dimension compared to the other rankers in Versailles continent, conquering the Vatten Castle on the Kallamore Kingdom's border.
Afterwards the Hermes guild followed their set battle plan, leaving behind a supply train and repair corp and advanced onward.
