Surviving as a Barbarian in the Game - Episode 220
220angry lord (4)
Raven, the Wizard of Narak, Team Apple.
She was near the aisle with her companions left behind..
The reason is simple.
When the attack on the knight stopped, she tried to move to where the team leader was, but…….
Thousands of people gathered so tightly that it was impossible to even dare to pass by..
“Mr. Einar, I want to ask you a favor. I can't see it well from here.”
Height: slightly over 150cm.
She, who was well below the average height of a human woman, sat on Einar's shoulders and watched what was happening in the center..
It was too far for the sound to reach, but there was no problem..
That's a problem that can be solved with magic..
“What are you saying??”
“It's almost done. I think we should divide the group into groups of 300 and go our separate ways..”
Raven relayed what was happening in the center to her colleagues in real time..
Not only she, but many teams here were doing this. Whether it's magic or hearing enhancement, each person has that kind of ability..
“What about Bjorn? What does Bjorn say??”
“Uh, that… … . I think he wants to come here first. Oh, and the wizard spoke, and it seems like Mr. Yandel is trying to gather a team..”
“Umm, yes, that's right.…….”
At Raven's words, Misha nodded slowly, looking somewhat worried..
It's not that I couldn't understand.
“we will go north!”
“Is there anyone who will leave with me?!”
Many clans and teams are already shouting to save their comrades..
Among them are famous explorers whose names spread far and wide..
The leader of a clan with a reputation.
There are already places where three such clans have come together to form an alliance..
However, Raven tried to speak brightly..
“What are you all worried about? Mr. Yandel, you know that fame doesn’t help you? Even if it takes some time, you will be able to gather all 300 people..”
It was clearly different behavior than usual..
Because she usually analyzes the situation and tells the truth..
but…….
‘This is probably what Mr. Yandel would have done..’
I learned something from following that barbarian..
A leader shouldn't just act the way he wants to.—
“uh?”
Raven stiffened without realizing it..
“Why are you like that? Something happened again?”
“The wizard said he would follow Mr. Yandel..”
“Wow, really? They say he's a really great wizard?”
“Yes, that's the case…….”
Raven was dumbfounded..
It was good news, but I was very uncomfortable because I couldn't figure out the reason..
‘That person could have gone to a much better place.…….’
Why did such a wizard say he would join us?.
I could never figure out why..
So this time, I was honest with my colleagues and asked for their opinions..
“Hmm, the wizard told Yandel that people would be gathering? I feel like I know what you mean..”
“I think I understand?”
“Yandel, that guy is special. Raven, you know that too.?”
“I know too?”
The moment Raven asked as if she couldn't understand, Einar shouted loudly..
“Bjorn Jandel is a great warrior!!”
great warrior.
For some reason, as soon as I heard it, I remembered what happened at the Bloody Citadel..
Throughout history, fewer than ten barbarians have been officially given that title by a king..
But at that time she thought.
Looking at the two-month-old barbarian who passed out as if he was falling asleep after finishing all his work..
Maybe one day it will really happen.
“Isn’t that why you joined this team??”
“……that's right.”
Raven nodded obediently..
What Urikfried said was not wrong..
If she didn't feel anything special about that barbarian, she wouldn't have joined this team..
“He has a strange power to attract people..”
After finishing her conversation with her colleague, Raven looked up again and checked where Yandel was..
It's not like a lot of time has passed since then..
[If it's okay, I'd like to come under you..]
[I think you can save the most people..]
[Haha, in times like these, a loyal person is the most trustworthy. Take us with you too..]
Before he knew it, numerous explorers were following him..
But did you listen to what Urikfried said??
The sight no longer seemed strange..
Also, I did not doubt the intention of the wizard who was the first to follow along..
“only me… It wasn't like that..”
Sometimes in this world there are people whose backs you want to follow..
and…….
[Look at this, I told you. I think people will flock to you..]
[A wizard's senses are good..]
Most of these people left great traces..
***
one to two hours.
I expected it to take at least that long..
Even if everyone escaped through the portal, there were many better explorers than me..
I thought I would have to work hard to compete with them and build the level of power I wanted..
but…….
‘Probably because of this guy.’
The situation took a turn when Kyle, a military wizard with knowledge, power, and the charisma to naturally lead people, joined me..
3Rank explorer Melter Fend led his clan and came under my command, which stimulated the crowd..
It's like hoarding starts based on false rumors..
Even if you don't think so, you feel like if everyone else is doing it, you should too.?
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
“Barbara's Hope!”
“follow the great warrior!!”
The excited shouts of the barbarians, who are very excited about this situation, are barely heard and move forward..
It was a feeling I had never felt before..
“Please take me too! I will never hold your ankle!”
Is this how a superstar feels upon arriving at the airport?.
Every time you take a step, a new team, clan, or individual who is confident in you approaches and appeals to you..
So I raised the bar.
The reason is simple.
According to the basic market principles of supply and demand, I am the best now..
“Tell me your role and level.”
“5Grade, I'm alone now, but I was playing the role of guardian in my original team..”
Guardian refers to the warrior role that stands at the forefront..
5If you have a good grade, your skills will be fine..
“name is?”
“Fel Acabird..”
pass.
“Nice to meet you, this is Bjorn, Yandel’s son. come behind me.”
As I moved around, I strengthened my power by selecting only the people I needed..
‘Most of the priests go through the portal and are nowhere to be seen..’
It's a pity, but there's nothing we can do..
The only way to do this is to fill the occupations with warriors and wizards as much as possible..
Ah, it would be better if it were an article..
“……Carl's Erimore.”
“Is there room for me and my colleagues? There are three apprentice knights and one regular knight..”
There were also cases where people with a connection showed themselves..
“I never thought you would have been abandoned too.”
“I guess being an explorer-turned-apprentice knight isn't that important..”
An article by Baron Martoin that I met at the count's house..
His personality isn't bad, and he's an explorer, so he'll probably be able to do his part..
Additionally, there is one knight who can use Auror..
“Follow me.”
“Thank you.”
one step, one step.
Every time you take a step, the number following increases..
It's been a long time since the barbarians who decided to follow me passed the 300 mark, but I continued to cast people..
‘Anyway, dividing it into 300 people is enough..’
If you travel the same route, you can help each other in an emergency..
I never expected that it would be possible to gather enough people to do that..
‘Okay, things are going well..’
How much further did it go like that??
Even in this huge crowd, I could see one person's face..
“Takelan.”
The guy was standing there alone..
I didn't look for a team like someone else did, and I didn't even have the will to create a team..
Maybe I've just given up on it all.
“…….”
When our eyes met, he avoided his gaze..
Just looking at it, it seemed like he wanted me to pretend not to notice and pass it by. But I belong to the barbarian clan whose instincts are relieved by having to do what I want to do..
I approached the guy and said.
“Follow me.”
I didn't know why.
The words just came out of my mouth first..
“Come on, if you want to live.”
“I… Do you think you want to live??”
A guy who recites as if he heard something strange..
“Lena was my wife.”
Yes, that's right.
“But why should I live?”
i answered.
“Because there has to be someone to tell the news..”
It wasn't my true intention..
Even at the last moment of taking one's own life, everyone longs for life deep in their hearts..
In fact, even though Takelan lost all his comrades, he ran after us until the end..
Was there really a reason back then??
Well, I don't think so..
but…….
“Yeah, there was that.…….”
If there is a reason, people can wake up more easily.
“If you come to your senses, come back..”
“……Why do you have to be so kind to me? If you were who you are now, you wouldn't even need me..”
I answered honestly to the point of being selfish..
“If you survive, it will put my mind at ease a little bit..”
Using others to relieve my guilt.
In a way, it's a similar behavior to the knight commander..
The only difference is that I know how cowardly I am.
“…….”
I don't know what you thought when you heard me say that..
However, after that conversation, Takelan went behind me and joined the group..
‘I spent a lot of time unintentionally.’
I continued to lead the group and move on..
Before long, I saw a colleague down the aisle..
“Bjorn!!”
Misha and Ainar come running to me as soon as I reach the street and greet me warmly..
I roughly pushed him away and had a conversation with Raven..
“Raven, did anything happen??”
“yes…….”
“Thank goodness. I heard what was said inside?”
“Yes, I heard you.…….”
Okay, there's no need to explain the same thing again..
“But why do you keep avoiding my eyes??”
“no? Didn't you? Okay, look.!”
Hmm, I see.?
For some reason, it seemed like he was having a hard time with me..
Oh, is it because of the people gathered behind??
Well, the Legion Commander Barbarian mode looks very majestic to me..
Raven must have come to her senses after I teased her, and she regained her normal self and spoke..
“Anyway, at this scale... … We can just figure out the number of people and leave right away. It went really well. Time was running out already..”
That time is running out.
It's not wrong..
But before that there is one thing left to do.
That may be the most important thing in overcoming this crisis..
***
Kyle Pevrosk.
‘A level 3 war mage with the nickname ‘Iron Mage’..
He let out a laugh.
‘What are you trying to do?…….’
The more I looked at him, the more interesting he was..
The first thing you do after gathering so many people is just make a statement..
“name is?”
Approach each person one by one and ask their name.
And after hearing your name, shake your hand briefly..
“Nice to meet you, this is Bjorn, Yandel’s son..”
Someone even asked the barbarian.
There is no time, so why are you making such statements?.
The answer that came out at that time was truly shocking..
“Aren’t there still many people who don’t know the name?.”
“So, what does it matter?—”
“It's important to me. So don't disturb.”
The barbarian continued to chant as if he were performing a truly sacred ceremony..
Most considered the action meaningless.
The same was true for Melter Fend, the leader of the Nartel Clan, who had his own experience and insight..
“……Does it have any meaning??”
Kyle laughed at his subtle question..
“Melter Pend, why did you decide to follow him??”
“that…….”
Melter Pend hesitated before opening his mouth..
“To be honest, I thought Kyle had a reason for his choice..”
“Yeah, that might be the reason too. But that won't be everything. Because you have someone to take responsibility for..”
“……Do you know my situation??”
“I heard it by chance. He was offered an offer by the leader, but he refused, saying he couldn't abandon his remaining clan members.?”
“This is kind of embarrassing..”
“What is there to be ashamed of? I think it was a wise choice. However, the clan members who tried so hard to protect them simply look at the choices of others and move accordingly.…….”
“It's a reason I don't understand..”
Melter Pend smiled sheepishly..
And then he spoke carefully..
“It may sound strange, but it felt that way for some reason. I think it would be safest to stand behind that back.…….”
“Follow your intuition…….”
“This is quite common in this industry. In the end, if you're unlucky, you'll die..”
“I don't mean to blame you. Actually, everyone here is probably not that different from you..”
“yes?”
Melter Pend tilted his head, but Kyle just spit out something incomprehensible..
“Just watch. You'll soon find out whether it was pointless or not..”
So the two observed the barbarian without much conversation. He was still taking turns asking each person their name..
“……My name is Hans?”
“No, it's Hanbus..”
“Oh yeah? Nice to meet you! It may only be a moment, but please take care of it..”
“Please take care of me!”
The process of asking your name and briefly saying hello.
That was it, but a lot had changed since the beginning..
“Teterudra. Nice to meet you. That ax is cool..”
“Haha, that's the best compliment for a dwarf..”
“I'll ask you later..”
“Cancer, don’t worry..”
The atmosphere is becoming more and more unpleasant..
Ahead of a battle where life cannot be guaranteed, the muscles around the mouths of those who seemed to have thorns relax..
“Wait, why am I just passing by??”
“Didn’t you ask that as soon as you first met? It was Davers.?”
“Huh, I remember it all.?”
“Because we are colleagues who must fight together.”
Only then did Melter Pend realize the cause of this change..
That barbarian was gaining the trust of so many people so naturally..
Just by asking for your name.
“Bjorn, son of Yandel. 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'm Humble Elbertine. If I go out, I'll have a drink..”
“Humble Albertine, remembered..”
“I can't be left out in that kind of situation. me too! Please hug me too!”
The building of trust wasn't just about the two of them sharing a clear statement..
Because the short conversation we had while saying our names was also heard by others..
“Anymore… … I'm no longer a stranger.”
Melter Pend was truly astonished..
Although they had no choice but to belong to a group, they were strangers until today..
But now we know each other's names and faces.
I can understand to some extent what kind of person he is through a brief overheard conversation..
The relationship I shared with that barbarian became something in common..
They become entangled and entangled like a spider web, forming a bond..
“Bjorn Jandel, he… … . I guess I calculated everything that would happen like this……?”
“Well, probably not..”
“I don't understand why you say that.”
“what?”
“……They usually don't do things like that without a reason..”
Kyle chuckled..
Definitely, usually..
Usually, doing the same thing produces completely different results..
but…….
“Don't try to understand. If you have studied history, you would know this. There are people like that in every era..”
This is an action and result that cannot be understood through the eyes of the criminal..
They are considered great.
***
After a long time of shouting,.
The moment when, under Kyle's advice, the group of 1,000 people was divided into three..
“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”
I shouted with all my might out of respect for the blessings of the ancestors..
“haha… … Look. Why did you yell again this time? You're the one making the other barbarians scream, right?.”
Uh, sorry about that.…….
But I can't help it.
‘Among all these people, there is no Hans..’
Isn’t this like a revelation from the ancestors??
