Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 245: Not Yet (2)

“Hahaha. I’m a bit upset to hear that. Well, we were actually thinking of joining hands with your people here on this rare occasion just in case. Besides, it seems like Myongjin took action quickly, so there are no casualties, but the monsters are still there.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

There ensued a war of nerves between my father and Commander Chung.

But what was certain was that Commander Chung treated my father differently compared to me.

Anyway, their war of nerves ended when they agreed that Myongjin’s Security troop would subdue the brown wolves.

Of course, I felt displeased about it because I should have moved in this situation, but I didn’t take any action against Commander Chung who thoroughly ignored and looked down on me.

Afterward, my father approached me and said, “Good job.”

“But I…”

To be honest, it was difficult for me to agree with his praise readily because all I did was disturb Commander Chung’s military unit scouting the Myongjin Shelter and their efforts to recruit those in the Myongjin Shelter. Besides, we came off worse again this time.

But my father didn’t seem to think so.

He said, ” I have been receiving reports about your activities on a regular basis. I would have been disappointed if you had played into their hands and fought against them as the head of the Myongjin Shelter, regardless of whether you decided to fight for the sake of the Myongjin or for your pride.”

“Pardon?”

I didn’t understand exactly what Dad was trying to say.

So I asked to clarify, but Director Sok, who was with Dad, explained on his behalf.

“The current government has not paid attention to ‘Revival Legend’ so far. Therefore, they don’t have any influence on those who achieved level 1200 and the game ‘Revival Legend’ itself. But they seem to be very greedy now. Therefore, they are trying to cause disturbances by dispatching military units not only to top business groups like Mirae, Daesung, Kusan and Daeyu, but also to small and medium-sized guilds. Of course, they are trying to make best use of the current situation where the government’s control and military power is stronger than ever. They must have welcomed the situation, in particular, where you, and not Chairman Hong, are in charge of the Myongjin Shelter. But you were patient enough not to get provoked into conflict even though you could easily suppress them.”

“…”

I didn’t say anything in response to what Director Sok said. More precisely, what he said was new to me.

As the head of the Myongjin Shelter, I knew that my actions could bring about many outcomes, so I decided that I should choose the method that would do the least harm to Myongjin. I thought that was my job as the head of the Myongjin Shelter.

On that day, not only my father, my brother, and Director Sok, but also quite a few other people moved into the Myongjin Shelter.

The next day I returned to my father the position of the Myongjin Shelter representative, then accessed the “Revival Legend” in a relaxed mood.

Of course, my destination was the Cunning Vampire Garrison.

Moreover, since my goal of level 1000 was just around the corner, I got more greedy.

There was another reason why I got more greedy this time.

In the near future, the military unit led by Commander Chung would most likely be discarded by the government because the government was more focused on Jeju Island and would pay little attention to the military units dispatched to the various business groups.

So, I was determined to show Commander Chung how reckless he had been until then.

Anyway, I could take care of that problem later, so I focused on hunting vampires because my current priority was to reach level 100.

While Juyoung was busy hunting like that, a new development was unfolding at the main base of the Tugal Guild in Mongolia.

In general, the strength of the African countries and their influence on ‘Revival Legend’ were much weaker than their Western or Asian counterparts.

It was understandable because they lacked information about it, and they possessed not only far less 3rd generation VR devices, but also 1st and 2nd generation VR devices compared to Western or Asian Countries.

That was the case with not only Africa, but also some Middle Eastern countries, and even some Asian countries, like Mongolia

So, Mongolia had no choice but to helplessly watch the Korean and Japanese guilds take over their territory little by little. Furthermore, when its wall connecting to Japan and Korea collapsed, Mongolia could not help but feel frustrated when after watching the fierce battle between the Myongjin & Mirae Alliance of Korea and the Mitsuya Guild of Japan because the Tugal Guild and Altan Guild, the two strongest guilds in Mongolia, clearly realized that they could not stop either. The two guilds were hostile to each other in the past, but in response to the emerging threat, they put aside their differences and agreed to cooperate with each other.

“What? The Altan Guild joined hands with Japan?”

Tamir, the leader of the Tugal Guild, asked with a bleak voice.

But he had no choice but to lower his head upon hearing his deputy’s reply.

“Yes, sir. It seems clear they have sided with Japan because the husband of the only daughter of Altan Guild leader Bayarma is Japanese.”

“Oh my…”

The Tugal Guild’s leader could not raise his head for some time after that since he was in shock. Even though it was unlikely that a combined front with the Altan Guild would protect the interests of Mongolia, it was now impossible to even form the alliance since they had sided with Japan.

After being silent for a while, he quietly opened his mouth.

“Then they must have handed over that ‘information’ to Japan.”

“I guess so. Well, I’m sure they did because that’s the only way for them to keep their vested interests.”

“We could confront Japan and Korea if we joined hands together! How stupid of him…”

The Tugal Guild leader expressed anger and frustration at the fact that the goal of rebuilding Mongol was smashed because of the Altan Guild’s betrayal.

Of course, other leaders of the Tugal Guild shared his frustration because they thought it would be possible for their joined forces to resist the two countries.

Anyway, the participants in the conference room were deeply depressed.

However, since they knew they could not afford to stay frustrated forever, they pulled themselves together and continued to discuss their strategy.

“Then do we have to find our ally?”

“Yes. We feel upset with the Altan Guild’s action, but we can’t do anything since they have already joined hands with Japan. So, we need some ally who can protect us like the Altan Guild, so Japan’s Mitsuya Guild can’t do any harm to us.”

When Bart, the head of the intelligence department, said that, guild leader Tamir and the other executives thought of only force, namely, the Myongjin & Mirae Alliance of Korea that had Asiranted under the banner. More precisely, they thought of the Myongjin Guild.

They knew their action would inevitably bring a foreign force into Mongol like the Altan Guild, but they could not die helplessly without doing anything.

So, the Tugal Guild decided to reach out to the Myongjin Guild, for the latter must be very eager for some information on a level 1200 hunting ground. They would want it all the more if Asirante was affiliated with Myongjin.

Anyway, the Tugal Guild decided to join hands with Myongjin, so they dispatched a messenger to Myongjin quickly.
