The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 260

Episode 260

– The end of the civil war in the Kingdom of Leuven. The winner is the 6th prince?

-When I opened the lid, the results were completely different. A landslide victory for the Ruben Kingdom’s prestigious samurai alliance!

-10 masters? Everything about the First Territory that you didn’t know about.

-Orimujung Kranen Empire. When will the empire appear?

-Inauguration of the new King Gerard I of the Kingdom of Leuven. There are rumors that the new king is close friends with Count Raoul. Will the First Guild gain strength?

When the civil war in the Kingdom of Leuven ended, the media featured the news on a large scale.

This is because it is where the largest number of players are active and is also the home of the First Guild, which has a strong influence on players.

If the 3rd Prince’s side had won, a blow to the First Guild based in the First Viscounty was inevitable.

In fact, many media outlets predicted the victory of the Three Princes with the Empire at their backs, and a significant number of players even turned their backs on the Purple Association and moved to the Ripple Association.

However, contrary to expectations, the samurai alliance won.

They crushed the enemy by a huge margin…

The Connect community burned more passionately than ever.

Over thousands of bulletin boards.

Tens of thousands of posts come up every day.

Among them, there was one best post that particularly caught the attention of players.

[Wrong. Please forgive me!]

I was really foolish.

I have been playing the game comfortably with various supports from the First Guild since I was a Kerin (short for Connect beginner player).

Thanks to this, I was able to find a precious home in the Free City of Briant and easily obtain well-paid quests through the association.

But I betrayed the First Guild. Actually,

there were a lot of people like that, right?

The media says that the First Guild will fail as soon as a day passes.

I bought a house with a huge loan, but if the association disappears right away, it will be difficult to get a good referral.

So I went to Ripple Association… but it failed.

I saved up the gold I didn’t have, paid the membership fee, and participated in the Ripple Association group quest… but I’m sorry.

I realized it the moment the First Knights attacked.

I was crazy.

The media and self-proclaimed experts are all scammers.

People shouldn’t live in sin.

After losing the battle against the First Guild, I was taken prisoner.

I was stuck in a prison camp for a week and couldn’t do anything.

And for the next week, I was mobilized to do chores such as clearing the battlefield.

And back to the prisoner of war camp….

The executives of the Ripple Association who ran away did not take any follow-up action.

They say there is nothing they can do during the war because it is enemy territory, but even though the war is over, there has been no news of any negotiations or negotiations regarding prisoners of war.

In the end, I was ‘permanently exiled’ from the kingdom after paying the bail money I had raised by selling my house.

Of course, I withdrew from the Ripple Association.

However, the Ripple Association says it is a violation of the contract and asks me to pay a withdrawal penalty.

I cursed them in my face, calling them trash, and then got PK.

I’ve put you on notice, so if you come into their territory, I’ll do infinite PK.

I’m currently making a living by catching field monsters in a rural corner of the Brennan Republic.

I can’t go to Briant, where all my bases remain, and I can’t go to the great territories of other kingdoms because of the Ripple Association.

I am planning to disconnect from Connect at the end of this article.

The death stack will accumulate anyway, so the next time you die, the resurrection fee alone will be over a million won.

It’s all my karma.

If anyone from the Purple Association or First Guild is reading this, I sincerely apologize.

And although it may be shameless to ask, please.

Could you please get rid of the cancerous lump of connect called Ripple Association?

We also hope that you will be tolerant of ordinary players who are still suffering from one wrong choice.

-These are the words of a traitor.

-A silent prayer for the deceased.

-But aren’t prisoner of war camps and forced labor a bit too much?

└That is not the responsibility of the Purple Association. What should I do since I was taken prisoner in war? Besides, he was hated by the king…

– People who are playing other kingdom scenarios should also be careful. You mean this can happen if you stand in the wrong line, right?

└Just shut up and follow the purple guild.

└ㅇㄱㄹㅇ

└First Viscount No, have you seen the count’s history anymore? If you include Ashton, it wouldn’t be a problem to eat up a whole kingdom.

└Isn’t it really true that powers from other kingdoms are now visiting the First Guild with some money?

-Anyway, what should we do with these bastards from the Ripple Association?

└I heard the news that the association president and executives all threw up in the middle of the war? They also say that they are currently in the Marcus Kingdom.

└They are already X. Do you think our Count Raoul will just leave it alone? Even if you dispatch just one or two of the Count’s masters, they will be wiped out immediately.

└It won’t be easy to send a master to another kingdom, right? I think this will be resolved in the hands of the Purple Guild.

└Is everyone saying things like that even after going through this situation? According to the article, all the executives of the association president are second or third generation chaebols. If we don’t root it out this time, it’s obvious that we’ll be dragged into the tyranny of large guilds like in other games. Instead of looking for the First Guild, we should solve it ourselves! ***The cafe is recruiting a team to eradicate the Ripple Association. Everyone, please join hands.

└Oh, I’m leaving right away!

└The Ripple Association is suffering. Is it possible for me too? ㅜㅜ

└Just get together. Because there are no restrictions on participation.

On the Connect bulletin board, endless reflections were posted by those who had left the Purple Association.

Officially, the Purple Association took no action against those who left.

However, he was merciless towards those who sided with the Marquis and attacked the First Viscounty after secession.

Prisoners were held in camps and forced to work until the ransom was paid.

Even if the ransom was paid, they were forcibly expelled from the kingdom and it was absolutely impossible to rejoin the association in the future.

All of those who ran away were also ordered to be permanently exiled from the kingdom.

The 16 free cities in each country under Raoul’s influence also had their property confiscated and entry bans and arrest orders issued…

In order for them to live normally as players, they had to voluntarily appear and pay ‘compensation to the victims of the civil war.’

Those who posted reflections were petitioning to somehow lift the ban on entering the Kingdom of Ruben, but the response from other players was cold.

When the benefactor who had given grace was in danger, there was no way he could easily forgive those who stood on the other side and drew their swords, even though they could not help him.

This was also the result of a rapid increase in the number of new players on Connect.

Now, over 100,000 capsules were being supplied per month, and the total number of players was exceeding 700,000.

The number of players in the Anti-First Guild Alliance, 70,000, was not small.

However, as the war ended and those who were taken prisoner and those who left the group continued, the size of the Ripple Association decreased to less than 20,000.

So, whether on the bulletin board or anywhere else, their voices were simply drowned out.

* * *

“The current public opinion is this. What should I do?”

Calypse Castle, the capital of the First Count family.

Raoul and Kim Il-woo were drinking tea in the lord’s office.

Ten days after the coronation.

I was so busy organizing the newly reorganized territory that I couldn’t pay attention to the player side.

I left the general tasks to Ilwoo, but I needed him to set the overall direction.

“There’s no need for me to decide on such trivial matters. “Association president, you take care of it.”

Anti-First Guild Coalition.

Although it is becoming an issue among players, it is no longer a name that means much to Raoul.

Through this war, the First Guild and the First Players Association solidified their position.

Now, even if they moved on the back of a certain kingdom or force in Connect, it was difficult for them to be a threat.

‘It is notorious among players, so unless a special variable emerges, it will be difficult to rebound.’

Of course, the fact that they were still continuing their activities despite being overwhelmingly defeated in the war showed their potential.

The power of money.

He is somehow maintaining his reputation with the wealth and connections he has on Earth.

Unlike in the early days of the game, a considerable amount of gold was now released to players, so their ‘genuineness’ was slowly showing its power.

As one year passed, Raoul’s share of the gold exchange market began to decline, and he had now given up control and left it to the market’s discretion.

‘But it still doesn’t work for me.’

Raoul chuckled without realizing it.

Almost a month after the civil war ended.

Among the players who accessed Connect, most of them, excluding complete beginners, joined the Purple Association.

There were no membership fees or membership fees.

However, despite this, the profits earned easily exceeded the entire income of the county.

The fees for association quests are measured very cheaply.

Income generated from various requests they make to increase their contribution to the association.

Income from each First Guild store and lodging establishment where member discounts are applied, etc.

As income was secured while remaining faithful to the purpose of providing convenience to players, a virtuous cycle was continuing that benefited both Raul and the players.

It was clear that this kind of income would increase as the number of players increased, and no matter how smart the third-generation conglomerates were, they would not be able to match Raoul’s wealth.

‘Furthermore, the funds they exchange from Earth are gradually enriching the First Company.’

By the time they noticed, the dagger would already have been aimed under their chin.

“All right. “Then we will not make an official response like we have done so far.”

Ilwoo had now become a big man.

I didn’t know if it was the place that made the person or if he or she had those qualities to begin with.

In any case, Ilwoo was unwaveringly carrying out his role as the Chairman of the Purple Association and Vice President of Purple Guild Bugilma First Management Co., Ltd.

“Next item on the agenda. It seems that a lot of scouting offers have been coming in to members of the management recently. From what I’ve heard, there are some people who are swayed by the fact that the amount is considerable and the people proposing it are companies with considerable name value. “How about cracking down on it?”

It was something that had already been fully anticipated.

When direct development was difficult, stealing the other company’s technology or recruiting developers was something that often happened in the industry.

So, hasn’t Raoul been providing special care to key members since the company was founded?

Raoul said with a grin as if it was no big deal.

“No, I’ll just leave it alone. It’s not something that can be prevented by blocking it anyway. Of course, we will respond in principle to those who have changed jobs.”

“Are you okay? “No matter how low-level members are, if they start leaving, existing members may be shaken.”

In fact, there were many companies that collapsed due to the talent siphoning off by large corporations.

There is a law to prevent this, but the law favors those who have it anyway.

but.

“well. “If you didn’t feel anything after watching this civil war, it can’t be helped.”

“He is like that too. “No matter what happens, you need an example.”

Will they be able to maintain their current subscribers and advertisements by leaving First Guild?

In the short term, the scouted company may compensate for the loss, but personal broadcasting was a battle for content.

It will not be easy to secure quality content in Connect beyond the First Guild.

Afterwards, Raoul and Kim Il-woo talked about several pending issues.

Because Ilwoo’s duties were so diverse, it took longer than expected.

Raoul asked near the end of the story.
