SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 217

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth (2)

Thanks to Lokan, who counterattacked in an unimaginable way, the guilds that had joined the rebels were literally horrified.

Since the foundation of the guild they worked so hard to build was completely lost, the property damage was enormous.

A guild is also a gathering of people, but it does not work by itself.

It was only a small friendship guild that was satisfied with that level of satisfaction, and even that was to the extent that it was not uncommon for them to be disintegrated due to internal financial problems.

‘To maintain a large guild, considerable funds are required.’

There is nothing to say about the large group called the upper guild.

It raises funds through guild members and raises the guild based on it, but on the other hand, there is an obligation to share the profits with the guild members.

Of course, the gain does not have to be money, but it is necessary to have at least a minimum amount of money.

While you can’t earn income from hunting monsters, you should at least cover the consumables consumed by individuals.

In that sense, Rokhan’s method was a fatal blow to them.

‘Now it won’t be there.’

Most users use a ‘bank’ to store gold, but those who belong to the ‘rebel’ cannot use a bank.

Because Lokan, who had dug up all their information, confiscated the hideouts that were not in the rebel territory and froze their bank accounts at the same time.

No matter how much the bank is part of the game system, it is the load that has the freedom to be limited depending on the circumstances.

If so, where do they store their money and things that can be used for money without access to a bank? Of course, there is no choice but to be the safest place, that is, the hideout.

However, even that was stolen by Lokan, and ownership of all the items kept in it was transferred to Lokan.

As it was Rokhan’s surprise action, the rebels were able to reclaim the base, but even if they did come back, all that would be left would be dust.

“Let’s see how long you can hold out”

How many people will remain in the guild only with a sense of belonging in a situation where there is only consumption without benefit?

There would not be many such people in the guild in the game that was entangled with interest.

At first, the guild leader or executives will release the funds and endure somehow, but as time goes by, they will force individual spending.

It would be nice if you could make up for it by hunting monsters, but hunting monsters within the rebel army that uses corrupted monsters right now will not be easy because it will be an act of eroding potential allies’ forces.

If the rebels succeed in the coup, there will be sufficient rewards beyond recovery, but if there is no sign of that, there is a high probability of a quick departure.

Leaving the guild now and returning to being a natural person won’t erase the guilt of joining the rebels, but it’s obviously a very small penalty compared to when you were subjugated.

“I think I can just hold on to this.”

Now, time was on the side of Rokhan and the defenders.

But it wasn’t Lokan’s style either. Instead of waiting, they started guerilla warfare and gnawed at the enemy’s forces.

* * *Attempts by users belonging to the rebel army to tie up Lokan and slowly dry it to death were horribly shattered.

Right now, with their power, they could not even penetrate the defense of the territories whose defense facilities were strengthened and the troops were increased, and even if they somehow managed to break through, they were overrun by the exquisite Rokan that appeared at the last moment and failed repeatedly.

However, it was when they failed to attack Regalia Castle that they suffered a decisive blow.

When they realized that they couldn’t do it on their own, they even thought of inviting the power of a foreign power.

Therefore, after attacking Regalia Castle, I thought of giving it up right away to the Black Dragonflight, and concentrated all my strength to fight against Regalia.

and smashed

‘Jerk the.’

Osram, the master of the iron wall.

because he was there It was not for nothing that Osram was called the master of Mercury.

Rokan gave him wings, so he didn’t know that it was strange that he couldn’t stop him, who had defended the castle like an iron fist even with his weak army composition. was the side

‘You should have thought about why the rebels didn’t touch Regalia.’

Thanks to this, the evacuation accelerated and the position of the rebel guilds, which had sharply decreased in power, further contracted.

In the first place, the Duke of Killamanta wasn’t even the type to take visitors seriously, so the expectation that he would be able to keep his place intact despite repeated failures is ridiculous.

While they were in vain, Lokan did a great job by steadily reducing the number of corrupted monsters and eating even Duke Killamanta’s enlisted men. did.

“Marquis, we are here!”

To make matters worse, the Masters and High Masters who were holding out in the front were also added.

They moved to end the civil war quickly as the situation in front became more comfortable.

“great. let’s go. To end this boring fight.”

Rokhan also expected their appearance, so he gladly accepted the troops they were leading.

He rallied all his troops to see the end of this tedious civil war.

‘You took too much time.’

The battle was fiercer than this, and the reason why there was suddenly room in the front, where the troops were tight, is simple.

The emergence of the master level.

There were a lot of people who grew up by playing an active part in the special situation of war.

‘I mean, you’ve already followed me… … .’

It was the first time to experience the master level, so there were still many shortcomings, but on the contrary, there were many people who quickly adapted.

There are races where all possibilities are open like humans, but there are races with relatively limited types of skills that can be combined.

But that didn’t mean it was weak. Because the combination of powerful skills exerts a certain power anyway.

If the concept is clear, if the skill recipe is good, and if the timing to use the master skill is good, even the user who has just reached the master level can lightly paint the NPC that has been up to the master level for a long time.

‘I’ll step on you again.’

In that sense, the appearance of a large number of master level users was not very pleasing to Lokan.

Even though they were the same master, the difference in combat power was far away, but the fact that there were so many master-level users while still remaining in the high-master state for a long time was threatening in itself.

So, it was necessary to hit Rokhan once more.

It will take a long time for them to find the optimal combination of master skills, and it will take a few more months before they can follow the leveling difference of 10 levels or more, but there was a need to widen the gap.

‘It will be a little different this time.’

When the same situation as in my previous life came again, I needed to show the difference properly this time.

The best way is to quickly raise the level and reach the status of High Master, but it was not easy for even a Lokan.

The current level of Lokan is 319.

You still have to raise level 31 more to reach the status of High Master.

To that end, Rokhan focused on the situation in front of him.

suppressing the rebels.

He killed or captured Killa Manta and vomited a wild rage to end this civil war.

“Heh heh heh heh heh!”

The cry of madness spit out even after completing the manifestation of the storm destroyed even the existence of a master level or higher. It became a huge wave, devouring the rebels and dropping the enemies into the abyss.

“Damn, this is dirty!”

“Bounce! If you stay here, you will die!”

Even if it wasn’t, the balance quickly collapsed as we had a strong support group in a tense situation.

The rebels struggled desperately to somehow survive, but that was only a struggle.

When Lokan was determined and driven, the users fled, and the soldiers surrendered.

“Sweep away the corrupted monsters!”

Above all, the power of the investigation team, who joined after noticing it too late, was also great.

At first, he took a wait-and-see stance, but as the weight of the balance shifted due to Lokan’s activity, he secretly intervened as if he was trying to do so from the beginning.

Naturally, he sided with Rokhan and the Emperor.

‘Those who are weak.’

In addition, a small number of reinforcements from dwarves, gnomes, and half-elves arrived. It is a masterpiece of trying to erase the debt by sneaking over one leg.

It was so obvious that I even felt rejected, but what can I do, that is a politician.

“Damn, you should have come sooner.”

As he pushed into the enemy’s base, the Duke of Killamanta made a decision.

[You have killed the Duke of Killamanta.][You have completed the Sub-Scenario Quest – Ending the Civil War.][Go to the Emperor and receive the reward.]

Suicide.

He had decided to take his own life rather than to be humiliated by being caught in his hand.

It was unpleasant for Lokan, who was thinking about the loot he would get from killing the Duke of Killamanta, but anyway, the civil war ended like that.

[The Emperor has called you. Please go to the Imperial Palace within 6 hours.]

One more disappointing thing is that the rebels’ stronghold, Killamanta, did not properly take over the territory.

As it is a duke-level estate, there must be a lot of things to eat, but as the civil war ended, the commander’s authority was limited, and there was nothing to secretly skip.

‘But it doesn’t matter.’

Of course, there are tricks. Rokhan shook his head and immediately turned around. He directed the garrison to pursue the remnants of the rebels and returned first to the imperial palace.

“He did really well. You did a great job. Without you, the foundations of this empire would have been destroyed.”

The emperor who greeted Lokan did not spare joy and admiration.

He wanted to show his intense affection for Rokhan, who had successfully suppressed the seemingly difficult civil war, and he carried out what he expected.

“Listen everyone! From this point on, I, Kaisman, will dethrone the Marquis of Lokan as duke!”

[Miraculous achievement! You are the first among the visitors to rise above the peacock.][Acquire the title ‘Duke’][You are the first to acquire this title.][First][Duke][Epic]

A duke is the highest nobleman in the human world except for the emperor, and as a prince who united several regions, he is entitled to rule over vast territories and nobles on behalf of the emperor.

Take on those duties and responsibilities.

[Hold Effect]

-Able to command nobles below the marquis

-You can form [Factions] by recruiting more than a certain number of nobles

– Can be awarded the title of count less than or equal to Count

-[Enhanced Ruler’s Aura] can be used

“Duke Rokhan, if you have any territories you want, please tell me. Anything of mine will converge.”

Emperor Kaisman, who had declared to everyone, looked back at Rokhan with kind eyes. Since he has risen to the top of the duke, he will give him some additional territory.

And as if responding to that happy smile, Lokan opened his mouth.

“I… … I want the Killamanta estate.”

It was the moment when Lokan devoured everything of the downed Duke of Killamanta.
