The forces at the forefront consisted of users panicked and escaped the battlefield in embarrassment, making the morale of the troops of the Kingdom of Haven drop further into the abyss.
Centurions, Chiliarch, and even Knights of the Kingdom of Haven excused themselves to the back in the wake of the Kallamore army’s frontal assault.
As they could not see those who would often give command during the struggle, the ranks naturally collapse one after another.
As oppose to the Haven’s users, those who mingled themselves among the Kallamore Kingdom’s Knights gained further intensity as they watched the spectacle. They poised themselves on the offensive, looking to devastate the already collapsed army.
At this point, they slay their enemies without sparing a single thought.
In the midst of the main force’s thorough desecrating assault, Koldrim commanded the Archer troops to fire arrows into the battlefield from afar.
Echelons of the Kingdom of Haven subsequently plunged into further disarray as they were besiege by the storm of arrows while not having a single command issued.
The belief that they could withstand the Kallamore members’ assault was an indescribable delusion.
Kallamore Kingdom’s army was definitively winning, while the Kingdom of Haven was suffering a heavy defeat.
It wasn’t easy for those that tried to defy and escape the Kallamore Knight’s pursuit, as they were attacked till the brink of death.
Lastly, Magicians of the Kingdom of Haven burned all their Mana as they resisted until their end, but their impact on this war was rather insignificant.
Koldrim also commanded part of his army to concentrate on breaking though their enemy’s camp decisively.
Under the brutal assault by subjects of Koldrim, souls of the users of the Kingdom of Haven simply dissispitated from within.
Thereafter, the Kingdom of Haven did not have a single decent attack and was force to be on the defensive.
The Kallamore Kingdom went on plundering for however long afterward in order to secure materials; as for Kodrim, he was dubbed as the “Reaper of the Battlefield.”
And now, during the Sistain Battle, not a single stepping stone has left unturned since the skirmish started.
Choe Sang Jun spoke without removing his sight from the monitor.
“Knights of the Kallamore Kingdom is really strong…I suppose it isn’t called the Kingdom of Knights for no reason. And it seems they also have the support of many users also…”
Similarly, Lee Yu Jeong and Min Sura nodded in agreement without removing their gaze.
Seems as though their hearts also wanted to cheer for the Kallamore Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Haven has an unusually large amount of prestigious guilds. From their claimed exclusive hunting grounds along with their excessive taxation, those that do not receive unjust treatment from them are rare.
So for these guys, they cheered on vicariously within their hearts for Koldrim’s pleasurable assault.
For normal users who did not opted to participate in the war, there was nothing for them to lose even if they were users of the Kingdom of Haven.
In fact, those that did give their support to the Haven army contributed little for the situation.
It was hard to remedy the situation even if they tried as videos of Kallamore Kingdom overly dominating the Kingdom of Haven were already spewing out from everywhere.
Also the impact of the current news broadcast was not something that could be ignored.
The underlying truth of the matter was that the tide of the war was ultimately tipped toward Kallamore Kingdom’s favor.
Lee Hyun felt satisfied.
‘It was a good thing to release him after all…’
This was the same guy that was revered as the ‘Knight of Destruction’ who was trapped by the Vampires.
Lee Hyun was proud to recall the huge contribution made to Kallamore Kingdom with his release as well as intimacy with Koldrim.
The Sistain Fortress could not halt the Kallamore Kingdom’s army advances and was eventually taken down.
The confined space made their siege weapons hard to be utilized, while their Magicians had to sit through their cooldown.
“Men, march!”
Koldrim chose the simple tactic of piercing through without a moment of hesitation.
Even with the disadvantageous position of being those that are committing the siege, soldiers of the Kallamore Kingdom attack in unison.
“Please leave me be!”
“Gotta get inside.”
Kingdom of Haven members’ morale fell further. For their self-interest, they created a tangled mess as they tried to get inside.
At their heels, soldiers of Kallamore Kingdom cemented their victory as they pull closer to the entanglement.
And then, a massive wave of Kallamore Kingdom Knights entered!
They were heavily tired from combat, but it wasn’t so hard solidifying their success in an already won battle.
Fervent cheers arise with the descent of the Kingdom of Haven flag and the climb of the Kallamore’s.

“We should decide on what dungeon to explore and what kind of adventure to have.”
After finish watching the broadcast, Lee Yu Jeong spoke in a clear tone.
As a student targeting scholarship, she wanted to successfully complete the challenge as oppose to be taking a midterm.
“So let’s get everybody’s class and level at this point, yeah? Let me go first. I’m a Swordsman and of the Dale Kingdom. My level’s 237.”
Min Sura introduced herself following the lead.
“I’m in the same place as Yu Jeong, Enchanter. Level is at 144…it’s higher than the last time.”
The lowly level Min Sura shyly extruded her tongue.
She was at 140 at the freshmen seminar when they first introduce themselves, so the level climb was only below average.
“Swordsman 297. I belong to the Black Lion guild. My current position is in our guild’s territory, Nehalles Castle.”
Choe Sang Jun confidently introduced himself.
His level and guild influence was the source of self-confidence.
Park Sunjo awkwardly spoke.
“I’m a Thief, and at 355. My current place is…King Suna’s Tomb.”
King Suna’s Tomb!
Abundant in traps and is haunted by Ancient Mummies. It was not a place where even high level users could carelessly enter. Due to the scale of the tomb, aside from the grand entrance, the place has not been excavated. This includes the resting place of the King and Queen.
“That tomb huh…”
“Your level is much higher than the last time too.”
“Are you exploring it alone?”
“I’m focusing on the trap dismantling skills and nurturing the profession’s surprise attacking skills. I’m barely able to manage.”
With Park Sunjo attracting the attention, Lee Hyun sneakily introduces himself.
“I’m a Sculptor. My level is…just so. I’m on my way to the Thor Kingdom.”
He didn’t mean to lie.
But as a Dark Gamer, he could not go around publicizing his level, characteristics, and skills.
“Oh, I see.”
Lee Yu Jeong didn’t bother dwelling into it.
Originally already knowing that he was just a Sculptor, it was not necessary going after other separate information.
But this struck to the low level Enchanter Min Sura.
“Lee Hyun Oppa?”
“Hmm?”
“I know you keep to yourself on most tasks, but this time please do exactly as required. Though we still need to take on two more people for a total of seven on this challenge, if you do not participate then it’ll be hard to get the proper grades.”
“Yea.”
Lee Hyun nodded.
The usual assignments weren’t problematic for him to complete, as he was simply aiming for the minimal letter grade for the graduation credits.
For a considerable amount of college students, there weren’t much hours in the day for them to even play around or to eat because of school.
‘But it’s a different story for me when it comes to Royal Road.’
Royal Road was his job.
He had to do his best in order to make a living, and also work just as hard with dungeon exploration within the game.
Despite him giving in, Lee Hyun remains a source of worrisome.
Min Sura forehead furrowed.
“But for a thing like exploring a dungeon…our classes aren’t really for this.”
An Enchanter and a Sculptor.
Among the lot with two Swordsmen and a Thief, the level differences were severely high.
While the combination did not seem fitting, they also have to somehow adjust for differences in experience.
“We have to somehow secure two Clerics for the other slots, or at least get a Shaman on hand.”
“Mhm. Otherwise the ordeal is going to be hella hard.”
“The other condition of this is that we need to be exploring some other undisclosed dungeon rather than an already well known one, else we won’t be able to get the credits for this assignment.”
“Difficulty of the dungeon needs to be rather high, so we have to come up with some skill combination or cooperation to increase our collective power.”
“But how many Shamans or Clerics are there that doesn’t have a group yet? And after this assignment, there’s the festival too…”
“What’s the class planning to do anyway?”
“I don’t know the specifics, but the level of preparation has to be a lot to be fitting of a school like this.”
