Bjorn Yandel the Barbarian

Episode 66 Field Boss (2)

Hierarchical Lord.

A field boss that exists on each floor.

These guys, who have different names, attributes, and patterns, have one thing in common.

At the level of an explorer on that floor, it was impossible to deal with them no matter what they did.

For example, in order to subjugate the 1st floor lord, an expedition of 30 or more people had to be formed.

Of course, assuming that all of them are at least level 4 explorers.

That’s really the minimum number of people caught.

I was worried because

Misha and me

If the two of you accidentally run into him, it’s game over. It’s because it’s impossible to outwit him with normal movement speed.

Then where should I go?

What can I do to increase my chances of living at least a little, rather than just trembling praying that we won’t run into each other?

The answer was to head to the Orc colony.

Like most explorers here did.

“Why are there so many people here, Bjorn?”

“Because the Dzarwi clan is here.”

Dzarwi Clan is a large clan active on the 6th floor and above. From what the dwarf said, the number seemed to be in the hundreds.

There’s no way all of them were gathered in one place at the right time…

‘There must have been at least 10 teams down there. Even if it’s on the 3rd floor, we need that many people to control the hunting grounds.’

Of course, subjugation is difficult even with this level of power.

Well, if you take damage, it’s a power that can’t be done, but…

It’s a story based on the premise that you knew the proper strategy and prepared for several months.

‘Still, if I’m with them, I’ll be able to buy time to run away even if I encounter a layer lord.’

Having made a thorough decision based on practical reason, I led Misha through the crowd of explorers.

A rather strange situation was taking place.

“Hey man! I heard that there is a high-ranking wizard among you! Please write the portal magic for me! I’ll pay any amount for money…!”

“It’s you! You summoned the layer lord!!”

“Hey, what’s going on with us? It’s a large clan, so they won’t kick us out?”

The one who begged earnestly.

A person who turns away from reality and seeks the object of resentment.

A person who tries to calmly grasp the current situation.

In the midst of the clamor of various people, the executive of the Dzarwi Clan opened his mouth.

“Everyone, calm down. This place is safe. Our priest has declared an end to evil, and our searchers are already on alert everywhere.”

“We, Clan Dzarwi, will do our best to ensure that as many explorers as possible live and set foot on the city’s land in this disaster situation, as agreed with the royal family and guilds.”

“But! If there is someone who does not follow our control or creates a disturbance! We have no choice but to take expulsion measures, so please understand only this part.”

I don’t know how to say it, but it was a neat announcement in its own way.

In particular, those who shouted uncontrollably, as if the last warning had been valid, disappeared completely.

“I’m less worried about being kicked out.”

“It’s a relief……”

After looking around for a while, I sat down in a suitable place with my back to a tree.

“…Isn’t that too relaxed?”

“Isn’t there anything else you can do?”

When you can rest, you should rest as much as possible.

No one knows how things will change in the future.

“Hmm, that’s right.”

Misha soon understood and sat down beside me.

“Misha, just in case, are you confident in your ears?”

“I don’t know, but sometimes people say they like my ears.”

what else does he say

“It meant that you tend to hear distant sounds well.”

“Ah, if that’s the case, I’m quite confident.”

“Then listen carefully to their conversation. Don’t stare at it because it’s obvious.”

“Okay.”

At my command, Misha leaned back and closed her eyes.

And as if he was concentrating, he straightened the triangular ears on top of his head.

“Hmm, I don’t know, but they seem to be fighting.”

“not without reason?”

“I can’t hear it in detail because it’s far away. One thing is for sure, he’s talking about the hierarchical lord.”

I guess so.

In this situation, is there anything else other than that to be urgently shared by the executives?

‘If you get closer, you’ll notice, so is this the best…’

“First of all, keep eavesdropping. If there’s anything special, tell me then.”

“Okay.”

After Misha put it back into eavesdropping mode, she slowly looked around to see how the crowd reacted.

A few complaints or insecurities anyway.

It was generally a peaceful atmosphere.

“I wondered if there was such a dog-like case only when I was kicked out of here, but I really don’t know what the world is like.”

“That’s right. Such a widespread declaration of annihilation is like that of a clan, so a priest like that must be together.”

“I can’t say anything other than that God helped me. A hierarchical ruler appeared on the 3rd floor after 10 years, and they came down on the 3rd floor just in time?”

Most of them were satisfied with the current situation and thankful for the evil deeds that the Dzarwi clan had done while occupying the orc colony.

Well it wasn’t all like that.

“Hey, are there only two of you?”

As I was observing my surroundings, a man approached me.

I’m not trying to argue here.

“What’s your business?”

“It’s nothing special. Shouldn’t we just stick together at times like this?”

“simply.”

“The Djarwi side said they would protect us, but since we don’t know what will happen, will we act together?”

Well, we’re going to cooperate, albeit temporarily.

“About 30 people have already gathered. It looks like you’ve lost a colleague in this incident, so wouldn’t it be nice to have someone to rely on for a while?”

I checked one thing before answering.

“I’m Yandel’s son, Bjorn. What’s your name?”

“It’s Jack Fletcher.”

It was okay if it wasn’t for Hans.

“good night.”

let’s just say we know

If you think something is wrong, just shut your mouth and that’s it.

I didn’t sign any papers or anything like that.

“As expected, you’re cool like a barbarian. Then I’ll be gone, so take a break. If something happens later, I’ll come back.”

“i get it.”

Soon after, the man left and about two hours passed without incident.

Thanks to the high priest’s proclamation of destruction, the spirits of chaos were unable to approach, and there seemed to be nothing to be a factor.

If we look only at external factors, yes.

“Wake up Misha.”

I shook Misha, who had switched from eavesdropping mode to sleep mode, to wake him up.

“Is something going on?”

Not yet.

But if my predictions are correct…

“It will happen soon.”

“What do you mean?”

“Look around you. Even if there are more people, there are too many.”

The Dzarwi clan unconditionally accepted the refugees.

And finally reached the limit of number of people.

Currently, the area that has been declared extinct is only about twice the size of the school playground.

It is not even an empty space because it is a forest.

But now it seems that there are already over 500 people.

“…Isn’t that something we shouldn’t let them in there anymore?”

“If you accept more than this, you won’t even be able to sit down.”

“If a monster were to enter in that state…”

Selfishness always thrives on the situation.

Anxiety hovered among those who entered first, and such claims gradually began to emerge.

“Bjorn, what are we going to do now?”

“Well, it will depend on how Dzarwi decides.”

Accepted to the limit.

Stopped demand here and locked the door.

You’ll have to make a choice on the clan side as well.

In fact, there was a re-announcement from the clan officials shortly thereafter.

“Due to the declaration of destruction, this is the only safe zone on the 3rd floor. It’s truly like a miracle that will never happen again. But…….” Excluding the rubbish, the content was simple

. .

“The priest wants you to honor God.”

respect.

Note that it did not refer to immaterial values such as prayer, conversion, or worship.

“One million stones per person. It must be paid immediately, and they say it can be done with magic stones or in kind.”

No one believed that it was the priest’s request.

Well, it must have been an agreement between the two of them, but…

It must have been the clans who suggested it first.

‘At first, I pretended to be honorable, saying things like the royal family and guilds, but in the end, did I choose the real benefit?’

Even if the refugee’s position is blocked, it is the same that you will be criticized for that choice later.

Therefore, it seems that he decided that he would rather make money than that.

Of course, there is bound to be a backlash.

“There’s no way there’ll be that many magic stones, and in the end, it’s telling us to put out our equipment in this situation, but this isn’t just telling us to die!”

The one who raised his voice the most was Jack Fletcher.

“We, the 100-strong death squad, will never stand by your tyranny!”

With a mighty cry, Jack Fletcher looked around. Having noticed in advance and looking elsewhere early on, I was able to avoid eye contact.

But was it the same for the other 100 members of the death squad?

“Uh uh uh……. Everyone, please say something. I can’t face their tyranny if I stay still…!”

Jack Fletcher stutters in embarrassment.

With that, the short demonstration ended.

“One million stones is an homage to God and a protection fee. Some pieces of equipment will be lost right away, but what are you worried about when we have them?”

Of course you don’t worry, kid.

Even though Proclamation of Extinction is an open fire skill, it is no different from a piece of paper to a hierarchy lord.

Of course, it was just a dissatisfaction.

Because I am a barbarian who knows how to compromise with reality.

“Leave consumables like Missha Potion and take out only the ones we don’t need as much as possible.”

“Okay.”

Like other explorers, we hurriedly rummaged through our rucksacks to find something worth cashing in on.

I didn’t have to take off what I was wearing because there was equipment I had rooted from looters earlier.

‘After resting on the dirt floor, 1 million stones a day……’

It’s a pity, but it’s worth paying for the use of the Proclamation of Extinction.

Besides, didn’t I just say it with Jiip?

The protection fee is also included in the amount.

“If you’re not going to hit the price from there, this should be enough.”

After collecting a few pieces of equipment from the Religion Party, we finished the preparations for the gift.

However, not everyone was as good as we were.

Still, since I’m a 3rd floor explorer, if I hand over the equipment I’m wearing, it will be 1 million stones…

“If I don’t have this, I’ll starve to death next time?”

“I only have to endure for one day, but I’m not praying for you to give me 1 million stones.”

Quite a few, if not a minority, refused to pay protection money and chose to go outside voluntarily.

The clan didn’t catch them either.

And new arrivals continued to receive a protection fee.

For at least three hundred people.

‘Did you earn at least 300 million stones? That’s only one day…….’

This is almost like money being copied.

Damn, is strength really invincible and divine?

I don’t know, but in the end, it was the same that they had to pray to the sky.

If a hierarchical lord arrives here.

At that moment, the rice cake market will begin.

‘If I hadn’t assumed that situation in the first place, I wouldn’t have paid the protection fee.’

I always feel, but all the kids here lack imagination.

Of course, they will have their reasons for this choice.

Since the 3rd floor is wide, they must have thought that the probability of not encountering the layer lord was higher than the possibility of encountering it.

Since today is the 15th day, you must have thought that you could hold on for just one day.

With this much power, that much is possible.

yes i would have thought so

only as good as possible.

only to their advantage.

But they need to know.

In the first place, no one knew that when the layer lord was summoned, all the explorers on the layer would stop hunting and face this situation.

‘Well, that’s the same for me.’

But at least I imagine

The worst thing that could happen to me.

Of course, there are more times when this imagination doesn’t come true than when it comes true,

but what about this time?

‘If you watch it, you’ll know.’

I quietly closed my eyes.

Since then, time has passed like the night before a storm.

[19 : 07]

5 hours left until the car ends on the 15th.

Tuduk tuduk tududuk –

From the ceiling, black rainwater dripped through the trees, making the ground black.

「The location is eroded and the [Declaration of Destruction] is canceled.」

The pure white patterns covering the ground lost their luster in an instant.

also.

[Goooooooooooooo—!!]

A gigantic beast began howling outside the forest.
