Chapter 220
She was near the aisle with her companions left behind.
The reason is simple.
When the attack on the knight stopped, she too tried to move to the place where the leader of the team was… But
thousands of people gathered so tightly that she couldn’t even dare to pass.
“I’ll ask you a favor, Mr. Einar. I can’t see you well from here.”
Height a little over 150.
Far below the average height of a human woman, she sat on Einar’s shoulder and watched what was happening in the center.
It was far from the sound, but there was no problem.
It’s a problem that can be solved with magic.
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s almost done. I think we’re going to divide into groups of 300 and make our own way.”
Raven told his colleagues what was happening in the center in real time.
It wasn’t just her, but many teams here were doing it. Whether it’s magic or hearing enhancement, at least one person has that ability.
“What about Bjorn? What does Bjorn say?”
“Uh, that’s…… I think he’s trying to come here. Oh, and the wizard talked to him, but Mr. Yandel seems to be trying to assemble a team.”
“Um, yes, that’s right……”
At Raven’s words, Misha slowly nodded with a worried look.
It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.
“We’re going north!”
“Is there anyone who will leave with me!”
Many clan teams are already crying out to save their comrades.
Among them is a famous explorer whose name has spread widely.
Even the leader of a clan with a reputation.
In some places, three such clans have already gathered and formed an alliance.
However, Raven spoke brightly.
“What is everyone worried about? Knowing that Yandel-san isn’t good enough for reputation?
It was clearly different behavior than usual.
Originally, she tends to analyze the situation and only tell the truth.
But…
‘Mr. Yandel would probably have done this.’
There is something I learned from following that barbarian.
Leaders are not meant to just act as they please—
“Huh?”
Raven froze involuntarily.
“Why? Like what happened again?”
“The wizard said he would follow Mr. Yandel.”
“Wow, really? You say you’re a great wizard?”
“Yeah, but…”
Raven was dazed.
It’s good news, but I couldn’t figure out the reason, so I was very uncomfortable.
‘I could have gone to a much better place with that person…’
Why did such a wizard want to join us?
I still couldn’t figure out why.
So this time, I asked my colleagues honestly and openly for their opinions.
“Hmm, the wizard told Yandel that people were going to gather? I think I know what he meant.”
“You think you know?”
“Because Yandel is special. Raven, you know that too, right?”
“Do I know?”
The moment Raven asked back as if he couldn’t understand, Einar shouted loudly.
“Bjorn Yandel is a great warrior!!”
great warrior.
For some reason, as soon as I heard it, it reminded me of what happened in the Bloody Citadel.
In the course of history, there are less than ten Barbarians who have been officially given that title by the king.
But then she thought.
Looking at the 2-month-old barbarian who passed out as if he was falling asleep after finishing all his work.
I don’t know if one day it will really be like that.
“Isn’t that why you joined this team too?”
“……that’s right.”
Raven nodded meekly.
Urikfried’s words were not wrong.
If I hadn’t felt anything special about that barbarian, she wouldn’t have joined this team.
“He has the strange power to attract people.”
Raven looked up again after the conversation with his colleague and checked where Yandel was.
Not that much time has passed since then.
[If it’s okay, I want to go under you.]
[I think you can save the most people.]
[Haha, at times like this, a loyal person is the most trustworthy. Take us too.]
Suddenly, numerous explorers were following him.
But could it be because of what Urikfried said?
The sight no longer seemed strange.
Also, he did not doubt the intention of the wizard who said he would follow him first.
“It’s just me… it wasn’t like that.”
There are people in the world who sometimes have a back that you want to follow.
And…….
[I told you to look at this. It seems like people will gather around you.]
[The wizard’s intuition goes well.]
Most of those people left great footprints.
***
An hour to two hours.
I expected it to take at least that long.
Even if everyone in my body escaped through the portal, there were many better explorers than me.
He thought he would have to do his best to compete with them and build the level of power he wanted.
But…
‘Maybe it’s because of this man.’
The situation was reversed when Kyle, a war mage with knowledge, strength, and charisma that naturally leads people, joined me.
Melter Fend, a 3rd-class explorer, led his clan and came under my command as a whole, which stimulated the crowd’s psychology.
It’s like hoarding that starts on nonsense.
Even if you don’t think so, do you feel like if everyone else does it, I should too?
“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Barbaran’s Hope!”
“Follow the great warrior!!”
The heated shouts of the barbarians who were very excited about this situation spilled out of one ear and moved forward.
It was a feeling I had never felt before.
“Take me too! I’ll never grab your ankle!”
Is this how a superstar feels when he arrives at the airport?
With each step, a new team, clan, or confident individual approaches and appeals to themselves.
So I raised the bar.
The reason is simple.
According to the basic market principle of supply and demand, I am now A.
“Tell me the role group and grade.”
“Right now I’m alone, but I was in the role of a guardian in my original team.”
Guardians are warriors who stand at the forefront.
If you’re level 5, your skills should be fine.
“name is?”
“Pell Arbord.”
pass.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Yandel’s son, Bjorn. Come behind me.”
While I was on the move, I picked up only those who were thoroughly needed and called on my forces.
‘Most of the priests go out through the dimensional door, so I can’t see them.’
I’m sorry but I can’t help it.
I had no choice but to fill the occupational group with warriors and wizards as much as possible.
Oh, it’s better if it’s a knight.
“……Carls Erimor.”
“Could there be a place for me and my colleagues? Three apprentice knights and one regular knight.”
There was also a case where a person with a relationship showed up.
“I bet you were abandoned too.”
“The apprentice knight from the explorer is not that important.”
A knight of the Baron Martoan family whom he met at the count’s house.
His personality isn’t bad, and he’s from an explorer, so he’ll do his part.
Besides, there is one knight who can cast an aura.
“Follow me.”
“Thank you.”
step by step.
Each time you take a step, the number that follows increases.
It’s been a long time since the barbarians who decided to follow me passed the quota of 300, but I continued to cast people.
‘It’s enough if we divide it into 300 people anyway.’
If you move on the same route, you can help each other in an emergency.
I didn’t expect that it would be possible to gather enough people to do that.
‘Okay, it’s going well.’
How far could it go?
Even in this crowd, one person’s face could be seen.
“Takelan.”
The boy was standing alone.
I didn’t look for a team like anyone else, and I didn’t even have the will to create a team.
Maybe I just gave up on everything.
“…….”
When our eyes met, he averted his gaze.
Just looking at it, it was a look that I wanted to pretend I didn’t know and pass by. But I have to do what I want to do, I’m a barbarian clan.
I approached the guy and said.
“Follow me.”
I couldn’t figure out why.
The words just came out of my mouth first.
“If you want to live soon.”
“Do you think I… would like to live?”
A guy who utters strange words as if he’s heard them.
“Lena was my wife.”
yes it was
“But why should I live?”
I answered.
“Because I need someone to tell the news.”
It was not intentional.
Even at the last moment of suicide, everyone longs for life deep in the corner of their hearts.
In fact, even though Takelan lost all his comrades, he ran until the end and followed us.
Was there really a reason at that time?
Well I don’t think so
But…
“Yeah, that was it…”
If there is a reason, people can wake up more easily.
“Come back if you wake up.”
“…why do you have to be so kind to me? You wouldn’t even need me now.”
I answered honestly to the point of being selfish.
“If you survive, it will ease my mind a little bit.”
Using others to relieve my guilt.
In a way, the behavior is similar to that of the knight commander.
The only difference is that I know how cowardly I am.
“…….”
I don’t know what he would have thought after hearing my words.
However, Takelan ended the conversation and went behind me and joined the group.
‘I unintentionally spent a lot of time.’
I continued to lead the group on the move.
Before long, I saw a colleague from the aisle.
“Bjorn!!”
Misha and Einar, who ran to the street and greeted me fiercely.
I roughly pushed aside and had a conversation with Raven.
“Has anything happened to Raven?”
“Yes…….”
“It’s good. Did you hear what was said inside?”
“Yeah, I heard you…”
Okay, so there’s no need for another explanation.
“But why do you keep averting your eyes?”
“No? Didn’t you? Now look!”
Hmmm is that so?
It seemed strangely difficult for me.
Oh, is it because of the people gathered behind?
Well, Corporal Commander Barbarian Mode looks dignified even to me.
After I teased him, Raven seemed to regain his normal state and said,
“Anyway, at this scale… I can just figure out the number of people and start right away. It went really well. Time is running out.”
Time is running out. That
‘s not wrong.
But before that, there’s one thing left to do.
That may be the most important thing to get through this crisis.
***
Kyle Pevrosk A 3rd
grade war mage with the nickname
‘
Iron Mage’
. “What’s
your
name?”
I approached each person and asked their name.
After hearing their name, I briefly shook their hand.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Bjorn, son of Yandel.”
Someone even asked such a barbarian.
Time “Why do you say Tongseong when you don’t have a name
?” The answer that came out was truly spectacle .
“There
aren’t many people who don’t know the name yet
.” So don’t interfere.”
The barbarian continued to speak as if he were going through a truly sacred ceremony.
Most of them regarded the action as meaningless.
The same was true of Nartel Clan’s leader, Melter Fend, who had his own experience and knowledge.
“.. ….Does it mean something?”
Kyle laughed at his question that approached him quietly. “Melter Fend why did you
decide to follow him?
” “To be honest, I thought that there must be a reason for all
of
Kyle’s choices.”
“Yes, that must be the reason. But that may not be all. Because you have someone to take responsibility for.”
“……Are you aware of my situation?”
“I heard it by chance. You received an offer from the leader, but you said you couldn’t abandon the remaining clan members?”
“This is something embarrassing.”
“What’s there to be ashamed of? I think it’s a wise choice. However, the clan members who tried to protect them so much are simply moving according to the choices of others…” ”
That’s the reason I can’t understand.”
Melter Fend laughed awkwardly
.
“I don’t know if this sounds strange, but somehow I felt that way. Standing behind that back would be the safest…”
“I followed my intuition…”
“It’s quite common in this industry. After all, it’s a place where you die if you’re unlucky.”
“I’m not trying to blame you. In fact, everyone here is probably not that different from you.”
“Yes?”
Melter Fend tilted his head, but Kyle only spit out words he didn’t understand.
“Just watch. We’ll know soon whether that was pointless or not.”
So the two of them observed the barbarian without much conversation. He was still taking turns asking each other’s name.
“……Hans?
” It’s a bus.”
“Oh yeah? Nice to meet you! It’s going to be a while, but please
take good care of me.” “Thank you very much!”
The process of asking for a name and exchanging greetings briefly.
It was just that, but somewhere a lot has changed since the beginning
. Nice to meet you. The ax is cool.”
“Haha, that’s the best compliment for a dwarf.”
“I’ll ask you later.”
”
Don’t worry about cancer. ”
The muscles in the corners of your mouth loosen.
“Wait, why am I just passing by?
” It was Dabers, right?”
“Huh, do you remember all of that?”
“Because they are comrades to fight with.”
Only then did Melter Fend know the cause of this change.
That barbarian was so naturally gaining trust from so many people.
Just by asking for his name.
“Yandel’s son, Bjorn. Are you really going to listen to all these people’s names?”
“But is there a problem?”
“No, I thought he was a really honest guy. I am Humble Albertine. If we go out, let’s have a drink.”
“I remembered Humble Albertine.”
“I can’t miss a place like that. me too! Please hug me too!”
Even trust was built up not just by the two of us sharing our names. The
short conversation we shared by name was overheard by others.
“You are no longer… you are no one else.
” I was genuinely astonished.
They were inevitably belonging to a group, but until today they were strangers.
But now they know each other by name and face.
From a brief overheard conversation, they understand to some extent what kind of person they are.
That barbarian and the individual The shared relationship becomes a common thread. They are entangled like
a spider’s
web and form a bond
.
It doesn’t make sense to say that.”
“What?”
“…Normally you don’t do that for no reason.”
Kyle chuckled.
Surely, it usually
does. comes out,
but…
“Don’t try to understand. If you’ve studied history, wouldn’t you know that? That there are people like that in every era.” Because

Isn’t this like a revelation from ancestors?
