Chapter 464
[20 seconds later, the castle gates of Elrika Royal will open . ]
[After 1 minute and 15 seconds East: 254, S: 1,728, the underground fortress will open . ]
[After 45 seconds, a lightning trap will be triggered all over the wall . ]
With unusual purple light, the system messages started to emerge .
It was all due to the ‘special item’ and nothing else .
‘Keu, this really will take down the castle in once . ’
After the quest of the Puppet Remus, there was a conversation he had with Remus that seemed somewhat difficult to understand .
Ian tried to recollect those moments .
– Ian, take these items with you .
– Hmm? Do these have any information about the structure of defense?
– If you only have these records in your possession, you will win .
– Huh? What did you say?
[You have earned the item ‘ArchMage Records’ . ]
– Uh? But what is this?
– We don’t have the luxury of time . Come back later, but you need to get out now!
– …?
– The guards are coming! Hurry!

When Ian first got the item ‘Archmage Records’ he wasn’t able to figure out what item would do .
It was because, in the information window of the item, three question marks were present .
However, after the all-out war was declared, the whole story changed .
[The war with the Elrika Kingdom begins . ]
[The item ‘Archmage Records’ can be utilized . ]
With those two lines, information about the defenses of the Elrika Kingdom began to pour out in real-time .
Very detailed and clear, a spellbook which told Ian everything about the movement of the defense troops .
As soon as Ian confirmed the performance of Records, he contacted the broadcast station and Lauren immediately .
With the possession of the fraudulent item, he would swallow the whole scenario in an instant .
‘Should I have said the cut was 15 hours instead of 24 hours-cut? It looks like there is hope to finish it within 15 hours . ’
And it didn’t mean that while having the information in possession meant that everyone could complete the task like Ian did .
The crazed performance was only possible if the user kept on catching onto the information that was being relayed in real-time with the battle going on .
And as soon as the siege began, the ‘Archmage Records’ began to work .
[The Lotus Kingdom army has occupied the A sector of Elrika Kingdom!]
[A sector capture rate: 100 percent]
[B sector capture rate: 58 percent]
[C sector capture rate: 77 percent]
(Syncopation)
[External Occupation rate: 32 . 75 percent]
[With the occupation of all the sectors of the castle, you will be immune!]
A red system message appeared in the sight of all the users who were in the mapping area of the ‘Elrika Castle’ during the siege .
It certainly caught the eyes of the viewers watching the broadcast, and the chat once again began to move again .
– What is it? It has been less than 5 minutes since it had started?
– Lol, I thought that it would be different since it was a castle, but this is…
– Where did he go, that guy who said that it’ll take 3 hours for the capture of the castle? This will be done in 30 minutes and not 3 hours, right?
– Ah, sir . Isn’t the 30 minutes a bit too much? LOL, it will take around 1 hour and 30 minutes .
– Wow, this really brings out the appetite of those watching it . First time seeing the siege with such a speed .

– By the way, I’ve never seen the capture rate of a sector, if someone could explain it to me .
– Ah, that? That is a content that doesn’t open until the tier 3 defense is overtaken . I looked at it the first time when the Titan Guild was taking over some Dukedom .
– Ah, that so . What does it mean when those messages come?
– Each time a sector gets captured, the buff tower gets buffed . That buffing had some name…
– That was something like a ‘Crisis Management II’ . Was it a defense tower buff of 15 percent per sector?
– Oh, then it is probably getting harder by every minute .
– In theory, yes . However, that doesn’t look like it if you see the screen .
It was almost the end, and Ian was still as calm as ever .
In order to not miss even a single message that would be delivered from the records, he tried his best to concentrate and not neglect to minimize the loss of guild troops .
‘This isn’t the end of the capture of the Elrika . ’
The subjugation of the Elrika Kingdom wasn’t a difficult task in accordance with the time .
However, the remaining task ‘Lich King Chalian’s ‘ was a huge difficulty oriented task that even Ian couldn’t guarantee .
The nasty quest difficulty of Penta S grade was one, but above all, Ian had already met Chalian .
And he knew the strength of his enemy better than anyone .
‘Now that I think, it was Hoonie and I who released the sealed Chalian into the world . ’
Considering that the quest that they played at the time was ‘Escape and survive from Chalian’, it was undeniable from it that Chalian was a monster .
And in order to deal with him, it was very important to save as much power as possible .
It didn’t matter if they had the time to make up for the lost power, but for Ian, there was no choice but to go on full time .
‘Kay, Remus . Now come out with the white flag . I am a very busy person . ’
One to two Lotus flags began to be placed on the huge wall that surrounded the Elrika castle .
And when the capture rate of the external parts reached 100 percent…
Tring-!
[Capture rate of all sectors of the Elrika castle, external parts have reached 100 percent . ]
[You can now attack . ]
[The Elrika castle, sector resistance has been renewed . ]
The wall enveloping the outer side disappeared and the high-rising castle revealed the greatness .
If it was a normal situation, the second phase of the siege would have started .
However, Ian didn’t give out any more commands .
Ian climbed on top of Pin and then looked around silently .
Wheeing .
The battlefield which was very noisy with the sounds of weapons and explosions had turned quiet and was quiet enough to hear the wind .
And the users who were watching the siege unfold while holding onto their breath began to chat .
– Why isn’t he ordering?

– He should have pushed in the defense line when he had the chance, why did he decide to stop all of a sudden?
– Surely Ian God has thought of something . Everyone is in a hurry .
– No, this is so frustrating . I thought that he was going to get in right away, but then he stopped suddenly…
– However, that was all just for a while .
Tring-!
[A white flag has been raised on top of the Elrika Castle . ]
[The King of Elrika Kingdom ‘Remus’ has pronounced the surrender . ]
New system messages began to ring across the battlefield .
[The royal power of the Elrika Kingdom has been taken over . ]
[All the estates in the Elrika Kingdom has been occupied . ]
[The Lotus Kingdom has won the war in the front war of the Lotus Kingdom and the Elrika Kingdom . ]
[All the estates of the Elrika Kingdom now belong to the Lotus Kingdom . ]
(Syncopation)
[The Lotus Guild has succeeded in subjugating a ‘Kingdom’ for the first time . ]
[All the users of the Lotus Guild are given the title ‘Incarnation of War (Legendary)’ . ]
Some more messages came into the view of Ian .
[NPC ‘Remus’ can be asked for a retainer . ]
[You have earned the item ‘Crown of Conquerors’ . ]
[You have earned the title ‘The First Conqueror (Myth)’ . ]
As soon as the 15-hour war-conquest was done, it was Ian’s choice to take a sweet rest .
No, to be precise, rather than rest—it was sleep .
The physical strength was still the same, but it was necessary to replenish the sleep in advance, as he had to go one with the remaining hardcore schedule .
And thus, Ian who returned to Kailan after sweet 10 hours, immediately locked himself in the castle office .
It was to develop a strategy to target the Lich King Chalian .
But as soon as he opened the quest window, he couldn’t help but sigh .
‘Hero’s Responsibility…’
The quest was the reason for the immediate reaction of Ian and the overtime working of the planning team of the LB .
Ian read the quest ‘Hero’s responsibility’ which he had received from Muran as a favor and shook his head .
“I didn’t have to overdo it and just change the damn career . ”
Mumbling just what Na Ji-chan did when he saw the video, Ian collapsed into the seat and laughed, he pulled out the map of the Colannare from his inventory .
“Where is it… what route should I take to hit Chalian in the shortest time?”

The ‘Hero’s Responsibility’ quest which had a great penalty of ‘losing one tier of the Taming Master class’ if the quest fails and the time limit of it was rather less .
The quest could be completed only by defeating the ‘Lich King Chalian’, a monster whose strength couldn’t even be measured .
Then why did Ian occupied the Elrika Kingdom in such a drastic situation?
Was it due to the quest that was already in progress?
Surely that wasn’t going to be the one dimensional and simple reason .
The all-out war against Elrika that was started by Ian who had a very clear reason .
‘I had to go through all that to hit the castle of Darkness . ’
Icaroon, Lamaris, and Elrika .
Only after passing through one of those three kingdoms was it possible to reach the Ulphir mountains, and the most pervasive of them was the Elrika .
Since the connected quest all fell into place, the situation went well .
Surely, if he moved with a small party he didn’t have to go through the kingdom, and there was a way to go to the Ulphir mountains .
And if it wasn’t for that, their users wouldn’t have been able to hunt in the Ulphir mountains and Heinz plateau .
But the castle of Darkness that Lich King was present, wasn’t a place that could be gone with small power sources .
Because of that, Ian planned to mobilize the entire force of the Lotus Kingdom and go for the war .
“It is still not enough…”
The time left to reach the Lich King was really very short .
And Ian judged that it was an impossible task for the Lotus to attack the Lich King all alone .
And it was a natural conclusion for any sane person to draw .
The boss monster named—Lich King was the one who had appeared as the boss of the entire time in the episode .
That meant that he was a boss that was made for lasting at least half a year .
And at the current situation, it was clear that the boss wasn’t designed to be cleared by a single force .
Ian who was in distress could do nothing but shake his head .
“Which means, I’ll have to twist that ‘old man’…”
Ian has come up with the name of someone who would take part .
If it was the ‘old man’, there was no way he was going to help Ian .
“I need a way, a way…”
Ian was mumbling to himself and was walking around the room .
Right when .
Thud .
The door of the room opened and someone came into the office of Ian .
“You called, your majesty . ”
A man with a thick voice and a huge belly that matched the voice also had two strong looking legs .
Ian who met the eyes with this man welcomed him with a satisfied look .
“Han, it has been so long!”
