There was no movement from the Grass Porridge Cult units in Morata, Vargo Fortress or the Dawn City . Despite the so-called urgency, the units were standing in line .
After the Lwee Yali fortress was conquered, Haven Empire's lords started to lose the will to resist . They were at a disadvantage in the war against the Grass Porridge Cult .
Even if the Haven Empire's reinforcement troops arrived a few days later, the lords had no choice but to surrender because the city would be destroyed by then .
"I can't lose my city and the residents all at once . "
"The Haven Empire won't leave us alone . "
"Let's look for chances… when the Northern users show any weak spot, we should rebel . "
"But if we do that, the public opinion of us won't be good . "
"That's why we have to act after watching the situation . If needs be, we can just leave the city after taking everything there is . "
After the Haven Empire's lords surrendered, they decided to act as the situations unfolded .
If the Haven Empire started to quickly regain its territory, they would stand next to them and fight against the Arpen Kingdom .
However, after the Northern users quickly settled into their cities, they lost the chance to go back to the Haven Empire . .
"Grass Porridge, Grass Porridge, Grass Porridge!"
"Wow… the guild facilities in this city are quite good . The stores are big and there are lots of supplies . "
"It's because it's in the Central Continent . "
"It's my first time at the Central Continent . Overflowing money and technology . Wow… But of course, the Arpen Kingdom is better . "
"Now this place is also a part of the Arpen Kingdom . "
Northern users came through the widely opened gates and peacefully took over the city .
Even though they only used stores and facilities, the users completely changed the city .
If the ratio of the existing users before the Northern users took over was 2, then the new inflow of the Northern users would be 100 . Or even more!
The lords opened their eyes widely at the sight of how the sales of weapon stores, armor stores, and general merchandise stores were growing at the trading post .
"Yesterday's sales were exceeded by 84 times . Especially the sales of pork and chicken… Ah . The Pork Porridge and the Chicken Porridge troops arrived a while ago . "
"Looks like they are buying everything . Of course they didn't buy the expensive weapons… Is this the fun Arpen Kingdom's lords experience ? "
Haven Empire's lords received lots of disadvantage, being in a remote region .
There are lots of users who take long distance adventures, but it's very rare for new users to start in a city that is in the middle of nowhere .
Usually new users choose capitals of each region in the Haven Empire or the Arpen Kingdom, so these remote areas are widely neglected .
Even though lords were trying to develop the city, they had a limited consumption that remained at moderate level .
There were mines but instead of development, it was a small scale imports, and it was crowded by monsters and the hired mercenaries who were repressed by doing quests .
Since the Central Continent had a high standard, it was easy to hire mercenaries, but they had always left as soon as they got money .
"This is an opportunity . The opportunity the heavens gave in order to develop my city . "
Haven Empire's lords from Hurfan region heard about Arpen Kingdom, so the news was of critical importance to them .

Even though they were worried about Arpen Kingdom's development and danger, but because of the changed flags they couldn't be happier .
"Welcome to everyone from Grass Porridge Cult . "
"Nice to meet you . Welcome . "
"Today we are hosting a free barbeque party at the square . For the participants, the priests are going to hold a blessing ceremony . "
"Come to get coupon! Weapon exchange coupon for the level 200 or below . I will give that to the first 1000 people . "
The people from broadcasting stations were embarrassed since they came to get news about the bloody battle .
“What’s going on ?”
"Why is there a festival suddenly? Did we come to the right place?"
"Here is a mistake . However, at the Belden city there was no war . It's said that the lord itself bit Haven Empire . "
"You didn't know that? At the Belden gates he welcomed Grass Porridge Cult and hung the banner . "
The viewers were interested in the broadcasting, so people from the broadcasting station decided to make a live broadcast .
They broadcasted Northern users' entrance and lively faces of the city's residents .
The users who were active in Haven Empire's region and who came from Northern part were greeted .
– Interesting . Of course, it's Grass Porridge Cult .
– That's human-wave strategy . That's precise Grass Porridge sea strategy .
– Let's have fun . Going to be interesting .
At the some parts of Hurfan region there was a fight between Imperial Army and Northern users .
The lords, who weren't able to choose to surrender because of their reputation, and those, who were closely related to the Haven Empire, had decided to fight .
Even though defenders were fighting till the end, but due to the big amount of the users the castle was taken over .
After this is a plunder!
"You can take all the property of lords and Hermes Guild . "
"But don’t harm the citizens . "
"Take everything!"
Grains, war supplies, trading goods that were gathered in the castle's storage .
The Northern users were able to get even the goods that had to be sent to the Southern part .
Actually even though Northern users won righteously, but they were acting ignorant .
Everyone takes everything, if you don't - you're idiot!
Even Grass Porridge Cult could take everything what belong to the lord .
They had to ask for a Seo-yoon's permission, but she could have judged wisely .
"It doesn't belong to Hermes Guild . Also, you have share with other people who helped Arpen Kingdom . "
Weed understood that if he decides to stop it, he needs to go on a hunger strike!

Hermes Guild owned many of the main streets and the shopping centers, and these places were transferred to the Northern users .
"Cha . Many people are waiting . Everyone takes three each . And let's take only things that can be used . "
"Keep the order . Let's take everything gracefully . "
"While taking keep the morals . Everything is for us all . "
At first in the several cities was a chaos because of the plunder .
Finally the houses of regular users and locals were robbed .
Even though it happened during the war, but the reputation and honor of the occupants had badly decreased .
– During the occupation the city was destroyed due to the fire and plunder .
Arpen Kingdom's reputation and kingdom's politics had a negative response in the nearby regions .
People from occupied areas started to dislike the kingdom .
They welcomed the occupants, but started to suffer from the extreme damage .
They had to throw away their expectations and hopes about Arpen Kingdom .
On the broadcast it was reported as 'indiscriminate robbery' and 'Hell of Confusion' .
The evaluation on the internet was also a difficult thing to understand .
In the past, when there was a war in the Central Continent, more things were happening .
At the side that was won the robbery happened, and the side that was lost was burnt because of the jealously .
But the Grass Porridge Cult's members are still generous .
– The way to promote robbery!
For the robbery the rules were made, but actually you only had to keep the order .
The broadcasting stations had influenced Northern users to steal in order the Haven Empire's property .
Since those images were broadcasted, the Haven Empire's lords from the Hurfan region lost their fighting spirit .
They surrendered to the Arpen Kingdom because they realized that if they resist they could lose everything .
Grass Porridge Cult's emergency strategy room .
They had a Versailles Continent map and held a meeting in the room .
"Haven Empire's army is strong . That's why it's unreasonable to conquer all the land of the Central Continent . "
"Right . As current power…"
"Even though the Northern users always participate in a war, but they have limits . The Imperial Army will also meddle in the attack . "
"Looks like Hermes Guild has a secret plot . Also it looks like they are more concerned about the region that has rebel forces instead of the region with slow development . "
"It will be good to show a hostile power . They won't start a stubborn counterattack . "
At the Grass Porridge Cult's emergency strategy room the best decision was made regarding all the gathered information .

Northern users' strength, joining continent's plan and circumstances .
Some of the users belonged to the Ministry of National Defense, but they supported the Grass Porridge Cult .
"We shouldn't be satisfied with Imperial land . For a while there is no profit . "
"I agree . Since the Northern users were involved in a war, the production power and economy are shrinking . "
"Versailles Continent is too wide . Even though only one region is taken, it can be said that Empire's power is partly reduced . "
The strategists were worrying while putting down the map of Versailles continent .
The plans to use Arpen Kingdom's power and to destroy Haven Empire were put aside at the end of the discussion .
"My head hurts . Haven Empire is very strong . Northern users will already be weak when they arrive at the center of the Central Continent . "
"If the Empire strengthens their tactics and use more maneuvers, protecting the territory will be a big problem to us . "
"If it's like that the war…"
"The Goddess passed away . Don't you think that everything is going bad?"
At the Grass Porridge Cult's emergency strategy room Weed was angry again because of their words .
As the result, a surprisingly great plan was made .
"Tear apart . Of course, it wasn't a matter of abruptly conquering the continent . "
"That's right . To tear apart piece by piece . Now I understand the meaning of these words . "
The plan to make Arpen Kingdom stronger is to tear apart Haven Empire!
The beginning isn't in the land, but in the sea .
"We have to make a revenge . "
"But the way…"
"All the users who don't belong to the Hermes Guild think of us as a hope . If we surrender, that's the end . "
The Grass Porridge Cult and Northern users wanted to keep their pride . Even though they started Royal Road later, thus they didn't want to give in without a fight .
"That's what Weed said . To tear apart Haven Empire . "
"Umm…"
"At that time we thought too narrowly . "

The 3 mad sharks of Becky Nin .
The ones who went to trade to the far Southern part couldn't hide their joy .
"Came . Our life . "
"God… Is that our battlefleet?"
"Let's not doubt . We are true pirate admirals . "
A pirate!
A pirate that belongs to country and sink merchants' or enemies' ships .
The 3 mad sharks of Becky Nin were appointed as Arpen Kingdom's pirates .
The users of Varna port and Rezard were having a conflict with Haven Empire, so they were pushed aback .
The Northern coast was filled with small and medium sailing ships, adventure ships, galley and trading ships .
There were amulet ships for the battle and simple fishing boats .
"Let's get some more pirates . "
"Where you are going? Huk huk huk . "
"I have a skeleton flag . How's it? Also, there is a bad tooth on the skull . "
"Nosae, nosae, nosae . Because I'm young…"
"Old man, I'm fishing, stop singing!"
As the waves hit the seashore, more than 100 000 ships were standing .
If you compare the number of Northern users, it could look small amount, but actually it wasn't like that .
The 3 mad sharks of Becky Nin were taking a ship that can take up to 150 working people .
"Give us a ride . "
"Is this ship going to Haven Empire?"
"Old man, can we go to the Lidum region with this ship?"
"I found ship that is going to the Rodium . It's the principal . I can help with a crew job . "
Even the regular users boarded ships like a taxi!
Considering the weather and current, they got ready to depart during night .
Every ship was filled with supplies and trading goods .
"Departure . "
Dawn .
About 100 000 fleets were shining brightly and departed to the Southern part .
The 3 mad sharks of Becky Nin were leading and other ships were following them .
Kyaak! Kyaaa! There were people who were annoyed by their flaps and squeezed to sit at the front of the ship .
