Chapter 1: Exploiter of Glory

The villages and cities of the Arpen Kingdom started filling with people.

"Over 300 people have died in an hour."

"Go to the east?"

"Blocked. Everything in the area around Chestnut Forest has been turned into ruins."

Walking out a gate would cause residents to be murdered by Hermes Guild users or troops of the Haven Empire.

There were no safe places anywhere.

If there were no guards at the gate then they would even come forward to attack users of the Arpen Kingdom.

"These bad fellows."

"They killed a level 15. They don't care about who the person is at all."

Novice users under level 100 were killed.

"Don't worry about them. The villains will be kicked out of this territory."

"It is lucky that I am a swordsman. I will come back in one hour after defeating them."

Moderately strong users tried to exit the cities but were killed.

Assassins, rangers, knights, magicians etc. 20,000 members from the strong Hermes Guild had volunteered for infiltration.

The lands of the Arpen Kingdom were wide and spacious and wasn't divided by strong fortresses. The Haven Empire and Hermes Guild members were easily able to penetrate the area.

They divided into groups for guerilla warfare.

The northern users had their freedom of movement and hunting taken away, making them determined to defend the villages against invasion. The entire north had become paralyzed by the Hermes Guild's aggressive assault.

Only three days! The national power of the Arpen Kingdom was reduced by 3%.

Large cities, castles and villages, with the exception of the very small ones in the mountains, became targets.

There was serious damage to the small villages of the Arpen Kingdom.

For the first time, the population of the residents had decreased like the Central Continent.

"What should we do? We can't just sit down and die."

"Morata should be okay..."

"We will be attacked 10 times trying to get there."

"What about moving in large groups?"

"Our lives will be saved but think of the people left behind. And this village will be smashed after we leave."

"It is frustrating."

Users in every small village gathered but couldn't find a solution.

Level 400 or more invaders would hide and then attack the weak. Some Hermes Guild users were killed during the ambushes but those cases were rare.

Each village couldn't come up with a solution to rectify the situation.

The 20,000 Hermes Guild members and 30,000 Haven Empire troops engaged in guerilla warfare outside the villages and cities.

A crisis where the Arpen Kingdom was receiving a frontal assault.

On the other hand, an incredible number of users were gathered at Morata, Vent Castle, Port Varna, Vargo Fortress and Dawn City.
