The Veteran Swordmaster’s Stream (Novel) - Chapter 95
Chapter 95
-Kya lolol
-Attacking from here? But it might be worth a try?
-Is he seriously just charging in lolololol
-The Heavenly Demon doesn’t know how to back down lolol
The forces of the Orthodox Faction, who had nothing they could do right now but block the Unorthodox Faction, had been depleted significantly, and would be depleted further.
Nevertheless, if Seo-jun attacked, they would be able to divert forces to block him.
From the Orthodox Faction’s perspective, they would rather die than tolerate a blade held at their throats.
For that reason, he waited as late as possible.
‘I wonder how bold a decision he will make.’
Seo-jun glanced to check the viewer count.
Perhaps because he had streamed longer than yesterday and an incident had broken out, interest seemed to have risen considerably.
[Viewers: 16,000]
The number of For Chivalry streamers was moderate.
While there were no professional streamers at the absolute top tier, streamers with a few thousand viewers were occasionally seen among the rankers.
With a viewer pool of 100,000 to 200,000.
‘Although the scale grows instantly to 300,000 when Bangju joins.’
Regardless, he had gathered quite a large audience here.
Before Seo-jun started playing For Chivalry, his active viewer base was 2,300.
‘Thinking about it again, it really has grown tremendously.’
Thanks to the popularity of the Battleground, a massive influx of new viewers had entered.
So, what kind of people were these newcomers?
-Guys, but where is Shanxi that the streamer wants to attack? There’s no indicator on the map?
-To the streamer’s right!
-Please look at the internet instead of reality for once!
-lololol
They were like that.
‘Not that everyone was like that.’
Anyway, there were many heavy users.
If asked to prove it, he could. He just had to turn off the stream right now.
If the Nohyeop forum was spammed with about thirty pages of curses directed at him for suddenly ending the stream, what clearer proof could there be?
Of course, he was merely guessing there were many based on general reactions; he did not know the exact figures.
So he decided to roll the dice.
“Everyone, you’ve all been waiting, right? I’m queuing for a game now. Let’s go together.”
They said it was quite common in the Battleground for streamers and viewers to play together.
He was curious about how it would turn out in his case, and how many players the Orthodox Faction would estimate.
-Ah lol I was genuinely waiting!
-I had a feeling this would happen when he subtly set the stage lolol
-So entertaining lololol
-Don’t come, you guys…
-Manager! Ban the Orthodox players!

Unnamed and ThisIsNotTheMartialWorld were among the Unorthodox Faction members who finished their games first and were waiting for it to end.
“How do you think it will turn out?”
“I do not know. And you?”
“Me too… It wouldn’t be surprising if the Demonic Sect betrayed us tomorrow.”
Seeing the Demonic Sect’s actions, they judged that they could trust their words for today at least.
‘Tomorrow is a different story.’
The result of that judgment was the two regions they were currently fighting in on the Battleground.
“Do you think the Demonic Sect’s true objective is indeed what they told us?”
Unnamed turned his head to look at ThisIsNotTheMartialWorld.
ThisIsNotTheMartialWorld.
He was a player who, along with Dang So, was one of the top two disliked players of the Unorthodox Faction due to his outstanding skill and extreme roleplaying.
Since Dang So had left, was he now the undisputed number one?
That was somewhat impressive.
“I do not know.”
“Right. It was my mistake to ask you, hyung.”
“However, there is indeed one thing I know for certain.”
“What is it?”
“The Heavenly Demon was a man who understood martial arts. And chivalry.”
“Ah. Yes…”
Unnamed wasn’t particularly angry.
How many times had it been like this.
He thought that based on the experience of dealing with such people alone, Movie Soft should have created and awarded him the title of Ascension to Immortality on their own accord.
“Hmm. They are genuinely doing nothing.”
The possibility that they had enticed them to make up for the Unorthodox Faction taking too much had not been ruled out either.
Just a few minutes ago, the Demonic Sect was in a position where they could have betrayed them if they truly wanted to.
Of course, since the person of interest, Seo-jun, attacked the Orthodox Faction again, it was almost confirmed that they wouldn’t.
“Anyway, it seems Gansu is definitely claimed by that side.”
Just as Shaanxi was surrounded by the Orthodox Faction, Gansu was surrounded by the Demonic Sect.
“Moreover, they aren’t attacking our side, and Seo-jun is currently attacking Shanxi.”
Did he really hold a grudge against the Orthodox Faction?
“It’s good that things are flowing in our favor, but…”
Even though they already held many captured regions, instead of keeping them in check, he was pushing them forward.
The goal of each faction in For Chivalry was unconditionally first place. Nothing else.
Although it was a game criticized for lacking chivalry, on closer thought, it was unexpectedly full of romance.
It didn’t mean they wouldn’t betray each other.
It meant that everyone did their best to achieve the goal of being first place for their respective factions.
For that reason, the Demonic Sect’s movements right now were highly suspicious.
“……”
It wasn’t that he didn’t have any guesses.
In the first place, Third Elder had spoken as if begging them to notice.
“Sigh. It wouldn’t be bad if things just fizzled out like this tomorrow.”
For now, it seemed they had taken both Orthodox Faction regions.
Seo-jun led the viewers to attack right in front of the headquarters, and to block this, the Orthodox Faction had withdrawn a lot of their forces.
Even to the point of somehow pulling out and deploying more than fifteen players.
“Right, that must be the most urgent thing for them.”
From the Orthodox Faction’s perspective, they were trying to buy a day somehow.
And that streamer probably intended to tell them not to harbor other thoughts and just crush the Orthodox Faction.
‘Fine.’
If they really captured Shanxi, they could follow that opinion.
Perhaps that would be even more beneficial.
They just had to make it beneficial to themselves.
He had said it last time.
“That they wouldn’t win.”
Unnamed muttered so and turned his head to the side again.
There was still something he was curious about.
“Hyung. By the way, why did you fail to cancel matchmaking earlier?”
“Quiet.”
***
After 10 o’clock, the Battleground closed.
Although people were flustered at the completely unexpected development initially, they gradually began to like it.
Except for the Orthodox Faction.
[What a disaster]
==
If the Orthodox Faction’s headquarters gets looted now, will they be the second faction to be deleted from the Battleground after the Demonic Sect?
lolololololololololololololololololololololololololol
.
.
==
A post packed with ‘lol’ letters like a heaping bowl of rice received about 600 recommendations and gained popularity.
The over 100 downvotes from the Orthodox Faction were a bonus.
[Why the Orthodox Faction is in real danger tomorrow!]
==
If the attack by the vanguard squad trapped in Shaanxi succeeds, they must block it unconditionally lol
But then the Unorthodox Faction approaches again?
Can they defend against two factions?
==
-Yeah, it won’t be breached
└Are you serious? lolol
└And you?
-No need to worry lol
└Is that why they yielded two to the Unorthodox Faction?
└They can yield those. They just need to block the Demonic Sect that rushes at them like they have a grudge.
[Please do your best! Being expelled from the Battleground is too humiliating]
-The Demonic Sect and Unorthodox Faction kids will tease us about this for the rest of our lives
└I love beef bone broth, they are all dead lolol
└It’ll be talked about until the server closes lolol because I’m going to do that lolol
└Are you from the Demonic Sect?
└Yeah, why
└It’s really annoying how you guys act confident even though you’ve been expelled before too
└Sorry, but the Demonic Sect before the Heavenly Demon arrived was not the true Demonic Sect lololol
“Should I join the Demonic Sect too?”
JustOnePenny muttered, then flinched and spoke again.
“No. I still like being a beggar.”
JustOnePenny.
He was a player who loved beggars to his core.
“No, not a beggar, but the Beggars’ Sect.”
JustOnePenny, who had joined the Beggars’ Sect because the information-handling concept was cool but experienced a momentary identity confusion because everyone called him a beggar, shook his head.
“Why have you been talking nonsense to yourself for a while now?”
Waiter approached and asked.
His friend seemed to have gone mad.
Had he lost his mind?
“This is what nonsense looks like.”
JustOnePenny shared a link.
[Why did the Orthodox Faction risk their lives in Shanxi? Are they afraid of the Demonic Sect’s growth?]
==
No, the ones who can attack Shanxi are only the Heavenly Demon, a few rankers, and a small number of players in Shaanxi, so does it make sense to deploy 23 rankers?
They should have blocked the Unorthodox Faction.
Are they that afraid of the Demonic Sect’s growth?
==
-The Orthodox Faction is target-trolling the streamer lolol
└That streamer is only a streamer on Travel, here he is just a single player, you Demonic Sect bastards.
└No, why are the Orthodox guys so angry today???? Enjoy the game as a game lolol
└ikr, a game should be viewed as a game, why get angry lol
└Argh!
Waiter clicked the link to read the post, giggled, and then suddenly stopped laughing.
Then, with a serious expression, he spoke like an announcer.
“Is the Orthodox Faction afraid of the Demonic Sect’s growth?”
“……You also agreed that we must block Shanxi even if we overinvest.”
“That’s true.”
“It was a situation where they had no idea how many viewers were following the streamer.”
Due to JustOnePenny’s strong insistence that the number would be large, they had somehow pulled rankers who were fighting the Unorthodox Faction and set matches over there.
“So we blocked him well. You even named the operation ‘Block the Heavenly Demon.'”
Block the Heavenly Demon.
It was funny that whether they had blocked him this time had determined the direction of the game in such an unexpected way.
Intuition.
It really works well, doesn’t it?
“Still, I don’t know.”
Because the situation keeps changing, and there are ways to make the Unorthodox Faction not feel the need to join hands with the Demonic Sect.
“I’m heading out now. There’s no point worrying further here, nothing changes anyway.”
Waiter logged out of virtual reality.
“That’s true.”
JustOnePenny agreed.
So after heading outside, he surfed the community forum on his phone.
It was an addiction.

[I was happy to fight with the Heavenly Demon today]
[If I can contribute even in this way……]
[Today’s Orthodox Faction seizure moment.jpg]
[It’s amazing that there are really guys who follow the streamer around]
[But does anyone really believe Third Elder’s donations? That’s all just to hype up a single streamer.]
There was one title that strongly caught his eye.
JustOnePenny couldn’t resist.
[But do you really believe Third Elder’s donations? That’s all just to hype up a single streamer.]
==
No, Movie Soft also made elements like Grain or Great Grandmaster just to hype up that streamer, didn’t they.
The Demonic Sect guys are also pushing him now just to hype up that single streamer.
Bangju doing a collaboration and the rankers losing was also to hype up streamer Seo-jun.
And the Orthodox Faction getting beaten like this?
The Orthodox Faction also let themselves get beaten to hype up the streamer. You seriously don’t know?
The Unorthodox Faction cooperating with the Demonic Sect?
Same thing.
Yep.
The streamer is God, and the Demonic Sect is invincible.

-wtf lolololololololololololololol
-The last line lolol
-Taking the target-trolling controversy and twisting it like this lolol
-The whole world is just Travel viewers lololololol
It was a sarcastic post.
“Haha.”
Ordinarily, he would have laughed and dismissed it without much thought, but now that a crisis had arrived, he couldn’t laugh wholeheartedly.
JustOnePenny eventually pondered for a bit, and without knowing whether it was to change the mood or to steel his heart, he logged into his alt account and wrote a post.
[But I feel like the Orthodox Faction will show us something!]
We just need to get past today.
By the end of today’s Battleground, he had completely grasped the enemy’s objective and what kind of picture they were drawing.
He sneered.
“Defending against two factions, my foot.”
Of course, the problem was that if a blade was held at their throats tomorrow, the scope of choices they could make would become extremely narrow.
However, if they succeeded in defending today, they could find a way to get through somehow.
“Please!”
However, contrary to JustOnePenny’s wish,
the next day, for the first time in the history of the Battleground, the gates of the Orthodox Faction were breached.
[Super Emergency!]
[We. Are. Screwed!]
[This is the power of general users!!!]
[Will the most incompetent leadership of the Orthodox Faction in history, who failed to defend all three regions, please raise their hands.]
-Why?
└Because they need to get beat up a bit (Post author)
└lolololololololol
