“Black Dragon-nim!”

While moving along the city walls, a voice was heard from behind.
Turning his head, Dwarf Kudran was running over.

“What’s the matter?”
“Ah, since we started moving to the central plaza, I came to tell you!”

He added words saying they were moving the workpieces.
One plan decided from the start.
When preparations reach their final stages, it was to move the gathering point to the central plaza.

“Understood. Then let’s go together towards the city gate.”

Han-bit walked along the city walls together with the two Dwarves.
His gaze headed towards the beautiful glass city walls.

“The repairs finished well indeed.”
“Yes. We finished it quickly along with the trap installation. The internal explosives we discussed seem like they’ll see a good effect thanks to the Prince directly guiding us.”
“Working as one body for the first time in a while, it was a joyful experience!”

The Dwarves who finished both the city wall repairs and trap burials passing through the night.
It’s a speed deviating from common sense, but the power of the blessing was that strong.
Experiencing their recovered abilities, numerous emotions must have crossed the Dwarves too right.

Step-

The three people moved towards the east of the city walls.
And when they reached near the monster corpse disposal site, someone’s figure came into view.

Swoosh-!
Clatter-

A man organizing work tools and debris alone.
Seeing that face, the Elder made a doubtful expression.

“…Guild Master?”

The man’s identity was Jin-uk.
Sweating and working alone, the appearance was quite embarrassing.

– ?
– What’s he doing there?
– Cleaning alone?
– Since when was he doing that?
– He organized all of that;

The viewers also showed doubtful reactions at the out-of-the-blue situation.
Kudran standing next to him was also tilting his head.

‘He cleaned up a lot indeed.’

The reason Han-bit brought the two Dwarves here.
That was to show that appearance of Jin-uk.
Forgiving past wrongdoings is their choice, and he has no thought of forcing it.
He just wants to show an appearance regretting the past and trying to change, just like the Dwarves.
Because if they continuously only hold hostility, it would be difficult to smoothly end the wave.

“…….”

The Elder looked at Jin-uk with an expressionless face.
He who was silent for a moment slowly moved his steps forward.

“What are you doing here?”
“…Ah.”

At the voice heard, Jin-uk flinched and looked back.
His entire body dirtied with dirt dust and corpse residues.
He who stepped one step back averted his gaze and spoke.

“I was organizing. After handling the work, a little time was left so…….”

Jin-uk who went out alone to this place after finishing his duties.
He had probably been continuously carrying on the work since dawn.

“You cleared quite a lot of this!”

Kudran who followed behind spoke heartily.
The Elder also knew how large an amount of debris he cleared.
Because when doing the city wall repairs and trap installation work, they decided to leave the monster corpse disposal site neglected.

“Are you hoping for sympathy?”

The Elder threw a question with a sharp gaze.
Then Jin-uk shaking his hand spoke.

“No, I am not. It’s just that I was less of a help than everyone else, so I found something to do.”

The extensive workload of the Dwarves to prepare for the wave.
Since Jin-uk noticed that, he corrected his role.

“Did you say you’re less of a help?”

However, the Elder’s reaction was different from expected.
Frowning his eyebrows, he looked at the organized surroundings and spoke.

“In this city, what is the position most closely related to monsters? Is it not the Guild Master? But if you are wasting time on work like this…….”
“Haha! It was a major crossroad, so didn’t it turn out well! Honestly I think I agonized twenty times over whether to clear it or not!”

Kudran just smiled calling it a good thing.
The Elder looking at that appearance let out a sigh and spoke.

“This thoughtless bastard. The Dwarf who should be most enraged at the Guild Master is none other than you. Are you planning to say you forgot all the past?”

Kudran who actually suffered the most from Jin-uk’s tyranny.
The Elder knowing that fact well had a frustrated expression.
However, the mind of the person concerned was different.

“As expected, Elder-nim has many thoughts! If you remember one by one, you will age quickly!”
“This guy…….”

– Loll
– There was no malice right?
– Positive GOAT
– Kudran absolutely doesn’t get scratched so it’s f*cking funny. Lol

Kudran heartily raised his voice.
A personality that doesn’t leave lingering bad feelings inside.
Han-bit knew well that appearance didn’t change no matter how much time passed.

“Still, the role of the Guild Master is an important job! It would be good to quickly move to the central plaza! Honestly the body smells bad so it would be better to wipe it!”
“Yes? Wait…!”

Kudran pushing Jin-uk’s back headed to the city gate.
The Elder seeing that appearance let out a sigh again.

“It can’t be helped. I will quickly guide you.”

Han-bit followed behind the two people together with him.
Since the trap locations were like his memories, listening to the explanation lightly was enough.

***

“Clean up that spot a bit!”
“Lay them out on this side!”
“I’m telling you, you shouldn’t block the movement path!”

Arriving at the central plaza, the busy appearances of the Dwarves came into view.
Weapons and armor filling one display stand.
On the opposite side, medium-sized equipment for subjugation and magic tools were placed according to type.

– Wow.
– They’re using all of that?
– There’s something like a flamethrower there;
– This is a Dwarf.
– Yup, you guys neglected them so they all died right?
– No spitting facts please.

The viewers showed surprised reactions at the tremendous number of workpieces.
The people who already cleared the Ifrit story were filled with unfairness and regret.

“Black Dragon-nim!”

Avant-garde who ran up first was looking slightly excited.

“Looks like it wrapped up well.”
“I was away from my seat for about 5 hours, but an incredibly large number of things progressed during that time. It’s surprising no matter how many times I see it!”

Avant-garde who kept the seat until morning, but during the empty time the Dwarves spurred their work even more.
The true reason the heritage was needed to block the wave.
No matter which past regression he rummaged through, a case of protecting Ifrit without them did not exist.

“What progressed this fast?”
“It is an obvious matter if we step forward.”

At that time, from beyond the street Kim Jae-ha and Goric approached.
The appearance of the two conversing now truly looked like master and disciple.

“You worked hard, hyung. You succeeded well somehow.”
“It’s thanks to you pulling out my memory. Converse with iron. Strike the hammer imagining its soul. The words of my grandfather like this actually worked.”

Goric’s task of listening to the sound of iron wholly relies on ‘sense’.
He didn’t know how that was implemented in the game, but the context of the advice Kim Jae-ha heard from his grandfather was surprisingly similar to the correct answer.
As seen from that refreshed expression, he must have found his own way.

“Our preparations are finished. Do we just wait for the monsters to come like this?”

Goric looking at the organization situation of the surroundings asked.
The planned works were all in a finished state.
Now only fighting the monsters was left.

“Well. We probably weren’t the only ones moving.”

Han-bit turned his gaze to Jin-uk standing next to him.
He who lost his words was looking at the prepared workpieces.

“Jin-uk, the adventurers were also preparing something right?”
“…Ah.”

He who abruptly came to his senses at the calling looked at Han-bit.
And then nodding his head spoke.

“It should be finishing soon. To the western empty lot… there will be no need to go. They’re coming over there.”

Jin-uk pointed to the street connected to the west.
An enormous crowd was approaching lined up there.

“There’s a lot of numbers. Are they not Ifrit’s adventurers?”

Armed Humans were in attires like adventurers.
The strange point was that their numbers reached thousands.

“Black Dragon-nim, you were here.”

Zenon standing at the very forefront of them.
It seemed he finished the things he was asked for well.

“Did the training go well? Since it’s unfamiliar work everyone must have had a hard time.”
“Because their will was full of it, it was fine. Because they are people who want to protect someone.”

He nodded his head and looked at his colleagues.
Humans of various age ranges were also appearances as if wearing clothes that didn’t fit.
However the determination contained in their expressions was felt clearly.

“What are you saying? What did you do?”

Kim Jae-ha who only fell into his work asked as if doubtful.
Han-bit looking at the Humans who started aligning spoke.

“It’s Ifrit’s citizens. We received volunteers and made them quickly receive training.”

– ??
– That works?
– You could use the citizens?
– F*ck they got scared so they were only hiding at home;
– That is because we progressed the story like sh*t.

The viewers showed surprised reactions at the unexpected situation.
Kim Jae-ha’s doubts also grew bigger.

“Is that possible? In the first place it’s too dangerous for people who aren’t used to combat.”
“Of course we can’t drive them to the jaws of death. Most will play a supporting role. Taking charge of combat, we can leave it to the experts over there right?”

Han-bit pointed to the street connected to the city gate.
A real group of adventurers was approaching there.

“Thank you for coming. It must have been a difficult favor, but I didn’t know this many would come.”

Jin-uk approached their representative and conveyed his gratitude.
Adventurers staying in villages, cities, outposts, etc. around Ifrit.
Running directly on his feet from night until dawn and contacting them was Jin-uk.

“Your sincerity touched my heart. To think the immature and arrogant Jin-uk could change this much.”

The large-built middle-aged adventurer smiled and spoke.

“It’s A-rank Adventurer Kevin. He’s a figure who doesn’t move easily, but you somehow managed to bring him.”

Zenon stealthily added an explanation beside him.
Han-bit who knew that man’s skills also nodded his head at the planned flow.

“Are you Black Dragon?”

Kevin who approached closely stood directly in front of Han-bit.
And then extending his hand spoke.

“I’m Kevin. To think you crafted this ridiculous scheme?”
“I only conceived the plan. It’s the citizens of Ifrit who accomplished it entirely.”
“You don’t act your age. I like you.”

Han-bit who grasped his hand shared a light handshake.
Kevin who chuckled laughed and turned his gaze to the surroundings.

“I heard the scale of the offensive sẽing will be considerable. How will you place the deploy?”
“Ah, let’s talk about that side with us.”

Zenon who approached closely was together with a middle-aged Human male.
His identity was the Captain of the Guards.
Because of the Mayor he became a title without substance, but at least he was a common-sense person one could converse with.

“Zenon-ssi, I will only explain briefly.”

Han-bit added a few more opinions regarding the force deployment composition.
Since the contents such as the Dwarves’ weapons and explosives inside the city walls were all shared, long explanations weren’t needed.
Zenon who listened to the story seriously nodded his head.

“I understood. Then we will distribute taking this side into consideration as well.”

He took Kevin and the Captain of the Guards and quickly started force deployment.
Han-bit turning his head looked at Avant-garde.

“I am sorry but, could you fetch Isis? Because I think I’ll have to keep watching the deployment situation.”
“Understood!”

He who nodded his head quickly headed to the northern cabin.
Han-bit approaching where Goric was asked.

“Did you all decide? In my opinion, it would be good for you to assist the combatants from within the city.”
“We will fight directly. If we experience twice the identical thing our motherland Hedrick suffered, it’s something deserving of death.”
“That is right!”
“We must fight back no matter what!”

At the Prince’s assertion, the Dwarves raised their hands and raised their voices.
They who experienced the fall of the Hedrick Kingdom in their skin.
Stopping this was like chipping away at their souls.

“Understood. Instead please prepare thoroughly. I have no thought of driving you to a place of death.”
“Do you think mere monsters like that can pierce our armor? No, they will die before their claws and teeth even touch.”

Burning their fighting spirit, Goric returned to the group of people.
Han-bit knew well that word was not a bluff.

“Oh oh! You were here!”

Around the time force deployment wrapped up quickly with everyone’s help.
A female’s voice was heard from the street connected to the north.
It was Isis being escorted by Avant-garde.

– She finally came.
– F*cking late;
– Nunna hi
– The audio fills up tightly.
– Almost veteran streamer level.
– Reflect, you slacker streamers.

To the already familiar face, the viewers even threw greetings.

“I’m sorry! She was hugging the ice and wouldn’t drop……”

Avant-garde voiced out the difficult situation and apologized.
Understandably it wasn’t his fault.

“It’s fine. Because she’s originally that kind of human.”
“You’re talking about me right?”

Isis who abruptly approached stood right in front of his nose.
And then immediately started pouring out words.

“There’s really a lot of things to say, but what should we start with? The composition contained in Glacier’s ice? What is a Spirit’s power? The difference from magic? What first…….”
“Don’t get too excited. If we can’t block the wave, you’ll never have the chance to see a Spirit’s power forever. You, as the main culprit who made the monsters go crazy, explicitly keep watching what you have done.”
“Forever……?”

As he warned using the Spirit as bait, Isis opening her eyes wide.
She who urgently turned her gaze towards the city walls lifted her glasses frame slightly.

“Uh?”

She who walked one step as if seeing something.
Narrowing her eyebrows and concentrating, Isis shortly pointed to the front with her finger.

“They’re coming over there?”

Crash-!
Kaboom-!

Alongside that voice came a roaring sound.
As he turned his gaze, black dots flying over the city walls were seen.

“It’s the Crash Birds!”
“Pull out the separated turrets as much as possible!”

At the offensive ruthlessly breaking the glass city walls, the soldiers urgently let out their voices.
And alongside the alarm a message popped up.
