How the Villain Lives

39. It is difficult to pretend to be kind.

The people here, even if they are not necessarily those who have survived the world of the mission so far, belong to at least some basic common sense or head. Knowing that, Arben gave a brief speech in front of everyone before the operation began in earnest.

"Most of you here today are the first to meet people around you without a one-on-one meal. No wonder we can't trust each other that much. If you ask me to believe you, it will be written in your mouth. Faith is something that can't be shown so simply. But I still want to say that we need to trust each other."

Arriving at the warrior at the front without hesitation, Arben grabs his embarrassing shoulder and speaks with his eyes open.

"Being overwhelmed by the advantages and greed of the moment before your eyes only makes you unhappy at the end. As you know, this mission is forced to continue until you collect the points you are aiming for. I ask you not to blush with your colleagues in the future, even if it is temporary, for items or for a small profit."

"Well, you don't have to talk like that..."

"Chet. I think we're all really bad people. I understand. Don't ask me to be that way."

Arben was in charge of command, so he was more rewarded than the others, and the task entrusted to him was even more important. In that situation, people might not have followed orders well with complacency, but he bowed first and asked politely. Rather, people felt sorry for him, trembling.

Arben has always been polite and kind enough to be classical and practical. But surprisingly, those things worked out for people. In the ongoing survival game, people who cheated on each other, in a simple but truthful word, unwittingly moved their minds.

Of course, Sung-hoon thought of it simply as hypocrisy and pretense.

"What do you think?"

After less than a day of meeting each other, Sung-hoon, who had already called each other as brothers and sisters, asked Choi Cheol, and he said with a face that was no different from usual.

"What do you think, what?"

"I'm talking about Arben."

"It's a good thing. He's a good man. What else do you need?"

"No, I just thought the fort was a bit unusual."

"Hmph, I guess we'll have to argue later anyway. There's nothing better to get close to than needlessly."

"... I see."

To put it bluntly, Arben as well as Sung-hoon and other top-rankers and Shinshi's people will be rivals, but at least the timing will come at the last minute. Until that moment, it was a word that clearly felt the will of the youngest ally. Arben stood up and said while the two of them were having a small conversation.

"Let's get started."

"This is it."

"It's a lot bigger than I thought. Maintenance is good."

The place the elf followed for guidance was quite different from what people thought. I expected a tree-built house or some primitive facility to be the place where the elves would guard. Unlike that, great plans and well-organized houses and storehouses were built in the middle of the forest.

'Approximately 200 enemy numbers. It's a lot of numbers, but the levels are all unbearable. We can respond with enough power. The problem is that there is a person in the middle who has quite a strong energy..'

Of course, he was not his opponent, but he seemed to have some strength.

"Divide the troops into five. so that each of those three units could ambush the fort from the front door, the rear door, and the left."

"So what do you do on the right?"

"I left it open on purpose. If you hit all four places at the same time, that's how intense it is. It's what makes people who are willing to run away from one place on purpose get out of there. For those on the right, draw a wide circle to form a siege. to realize that there are enemies, but it's impossible to get out already."

Strategy seems as simple as anyone can do, but it's not as easy as it sounds. Dozens, hundreds of people move by one command and their lives and deaths depend on it. And when the plan succeeds and when it fails, Arben has no hesitation in giving orders.

"If the rest of the troops are standing by and need assistance, please move and assist them there. Do you have any questions?"

"I have a question. Where will Arben go?"

"I'm going to rush right into the middle of the fort through the front door. We need to cut off the enemy's leader and get ahead of him. Will you come with me?"

"Oh, no. It's not like that."

I didn't have anything to say when I said that I was going into the most dangerous frontal raid, contrary to my expectation that I would take on the most secure reinforcements. It was obvious that if he did, people would have asked to place themselves in the back or complained, but no one would throw up on a desperate order when he stepped forward.

Arben, who roughly classified the troops, was the last person to speak.

"Yooseong. I promised to protect you during this mission, but it's safer to stay away from me now. I'll be on the front lines from now on. Instead, let's not let Choi Chul take over the escort as much as possible."

"Don't worry. I'm going to get one serving of Gredo."

"Take this and use it if something dangerous comes up."

I wanted to assign him to the most secure reinforcements, but I had no choice but to join the rear ambush in order to properly use the iron form that was attached to him as a commander.

Excellent Blessing Activation.

Normally, scrolls with the best spells are enormous, but they are never easy to obtain because they sell very small quantities even in shops. However, all four of those excellent spells, as well as scrolls focused on recovery and assistance, never saw a single verse.

Even though we couldn't protect them together, we realized that Arben cared as much about what he said.

"Thank you. You don't have to give me this."

"It also means forgiveness for what happened yesterday. I know you're not upset about getting that stuff, but if you do, I think my heart will be a little relieved."

"… Got it. Let's forget about yesterday. So let's go first."

After a short greeting, he stepped back and tried to ask what happened to Choi Chul who was standing next to him yesterday. However, before the question was asked, Sung-hoon was forced to put yellow leaves in his mouth and make a clean face.

"What, are you already biting?"

"……."

When Seong-hoon pointed to his mouth without saying anything, Choi Chul-hyun shrugged, and asked himself the same leaves as Seong-hoon put on his mouth. It was a leaf that seemed like nothing special, but it was a leaf that gave the person the power to assimilate with nature for a certain period of time if it was bitten in the mouth by the elves.

'Of course I can hide enough without something like this..'

I wasn't wearing the Hero's Cape, but I didn't use a much higher grade hideout than this leaf. However, Sung-hoon deliberately decided to hide his abilities. The present self is just a magical skill that can be used with exceptional physical abilities and very little magic.

It's never a good thing to be noticed for acting more than necessary.

Sung-hoon and Choi Chul's rear raid team had to go that far to avoid being caught by the Dark Elves as much as possible. Movement in the forest was hard enough, but there were no ordinary people here in the first place. Even the weakest congregation had as much stamina as a marathon.

'Then what shall we do?'

I decided to hit Arben's back anyway, but there are many ways to do that. The most okay thing is to disguise death in this fight and act as a ghost, and the second is to betray him in a decisive moment by saying that he will continue to repay the favor by his side.

Both methods have their own drawbacks. However, the first problem I had to deal with right now was Choi Hyeol. However, it was never easy to cheat out the eyes of a top-ranked man.

Qaaaaaaaah!

At the sound of a massive explosion, Choi Chul, who was at the forefront, began to exhale long as he spit out the leaves that were biting his mouth.

"Yin Yang Sum Day". "

When I saw the feast of uniting the two different energies that allowed Choi Hyuk to become a top-ranker, I looked at the process of bringing the two energies together as much as possible. But there was nothing I could get.

Unlike Sung-hoon's compulsory fusion of attributes with skills, the two energies of the youngest began to change as if they were influenced by each other. The positive energies of red are becoming blurred and the negative energies of blue are becoming more and more visible. The two energies turned into the same voracious energy without even a little time difference and began to curl up the youngest body.

"Tai Chi Chi (Tai Chi Chi)!"

When you combine your energies, you have no choice but to take advantage of the limitless power. As tens of trees were cut out and the energy of wood and borate burst out, the walls were completely torn apart and people were reluctantly throwing up their resilience, and even Seongfu looked at Choi Hyeon with different eyes.

'You're no top-ranker at all. Is that what you call it?'

I'm not tired of using this kind of unstoppable technology. Choi Hyeol shouted as he raised his sword to see if people knew what he was surprised about.

"Charge everyone! Just like you planned!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

"That's good! Hahaha, let's kill them all!"

Warriors began to sprint towards the fallen woodbook and ranged professions began to blow magic and arrows towards the enemy as much as they could before they arrived. He was a minister in his own way, but Sung-hoon and Choi Chul were forced to frown their foreheads.

Compared to the orderly first-class and wide-ranging strikes in Shinxi, I had no choice but to think so crudely. It was the dark elves who were suddenly amazed by the sudden situation, blocking the front of the railroad, which had suddenly narrowed considerable distance. Some were facing themselves with arrows in their hands in haste.

"Shoot!"

Tddddddddddddddddd!

A steel armor piercing a steel bow bounces back in vain in front of a shield made of steel. The dark elf in orbit was struck by a thunderbolt that bounced off and stuck in the building wall as Choi Hyeol snorted his fingers without holding his sword.

"I'm upset because I feel like I'm harassing too weak a child, but it's still a mission. Oh, Yooseong!"

"Yes! I'm here!"

"Fine. Stay as close to me as you can! If I go beyond a certain distance, I can't protect myself!"

In fact, there were occasional Adam arrows pouring out on Sung-hoon, but each time, Choi Chul gave a ghost energy to defeat the Dark Elves who attacked him. Choi Chul, who was trying to deal with the guy who was attached to the melee war, was soon forced to stop walking, noticing that Yooseong was fighting better than expected.

'I think I'm doing more than the basics. The sword is aiming precisely for the urgency, and it seems clumsy somewhere, but at least I don't think I'm going to be attacked by these guys... I lost my memory, but I wouldn't be the weak one if I were to set up a mission start point here.'

"Good! These guys are weak!"

"Don't be silly! It was just an ambush in the back and a panic! Don't push in anymore, squeeze in with the person next to you and move forward slowly for now! This is the enemy's stronghold! If you do something wrong, you will be dealt with!"

The earliest words floating in the sky, radiating an overwhelming energy, instilled an overwhelming sense of humiliation in people. Once he calmed people down, he turned his head and looked at Arven, who was advancing from a distance.

'You're strong.'

Though I was expecting to be somewhat skillful enough to utter a loud shout against the enemy's face, a man named Arben was stronger than he expected. In his Dagger, the Dark Elves fell like scarecrows, and there was no one who could take his screening.

Arben, who jumped into the building in the middle of the fort with a good attitude, was soon thrown out and stuck in a nearby building without being properly positioned. I don't know what happened in the short run, but it must have been wounded when I saw my left shoulder bitten red. Choi Chul, who kicked his tongue because of who the opponent was, was soon able to see a woman walking out of the building with a double sword stretched.
