The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 305

Episode 305

“Thank you so much.”

“I can’t leave Ilwoo alone anyway.”

“My parents want me to stay on Earth.”

“I want to save more people.”

After the meeting with Ilwoo.

The Purple Guild’s rankers also came to Raoul one by one to say their final words.

Raoul understood their choice and wished each of them good luck for their future.

Of the eight rankers in the top 10 overall rankings, which can be called the main force of the Purple Guild, seven chose Earth.

“I’m a little embarrassed to be left alone. Still, please continue to take good care of me, Master.”

The only one left is Lewis Blake, the 5th ranked fighter.

As an American, he also tried to stay on Earth, but decided to stay in Connect due to requests from his family and colleagues.

This is because among the Purple Guild’s rankers, there were many who chose Earth for themselves, leaving their families behind in Connect.

Someone needed to take care of their family here.

In this way, Louis took over the position of Purple Association President and Purple Guild Bugilma instead of Il-woo.

‘Out of 500 people, only 200 are left.’

There were more people leaving than expected.

Honestly, considering the current situation on Earth, Connect, which is safer and provides better treatment, would be a better option.

Nevertheless, the fact that they chose Earth probably means that there were many people who had a sense of responsibility and a pure heart.

‘Well, it was mainly those people who were accepted into the guild in the first place.’

But I decided not to regret it.

Anyway, the remaining 200 people will be of sufficient help.

All of them were ranked within the top 1,000, and as many as 30 of them had surpassed the level 100 level of superhuman.

These people will be enough to represent and protect the people of Earth who will choose Connect in the future.

However, it was a pity that the people I had grown fond of chose a dangerous battlefield.

‘I hope you can save the Earth like you wanted.’

Raoul’s face looked a little lonely.

-With this, the awakened organization named ‘Guardians’ was recognized as a national, independent international organization by unanimous consent of the UN General Assembly.

-The Guardians have been guaranteed transnational independent operational rights when it comes to gates and monsters… -Governments of

each country have promised full support for the Guardians’ activities and have a close cooperative relationship with the military…

-Guardians decided to allow it to secure its own military power for its efficient activities….

After some time.

Media around the world announced the launch of a new awakened association, Guardians.

The origin of the association was, of course, the Purple Association, and it was recognized as an independent international organization rather than simply a government-sponsored organization.

And although it was not announced in the media, some of the military facilities and equipment of each country were transferred, taking the form of an actual military agency.

Raoul’s contribution to making the launch of the Guardians possible was significant.

This was the result of negotiations with governments and global companies that wanted to move to Connect.

There is only one month left until the service ends.

The fourth gate wave encouraged their choice.

While the existing gate mainly affected cities with dense populations, the newly launched wave hit production facilities.

The gate that covered the industrial complex caused significant damage despite the quick response of the military and awakened people.

The problem is that this is just the beginning.

It was difficult at first, but once the gate started to appear, it was obvious that the same thing would happen again.

Will humanity, which has lost its production capacity, be able to properly deal with the Gate?

The situation on Earth was deteriorating too much to hope for.

Anyway, thanks to this, there were a lot of people who wanted to negotiate with the First Guild, and Raoul got what he wanted from them as much as possible.

“The item was safely delivered to Il-woo, right?”

“of course. “Xavier took it very carefully, as if he were taking it with him.”

“It would be nice if it worked properly.”

“don’t worry. “Not only me, but all of the First Magic Tower stuck together and remodeled it.”

After hearing Ravel’s confident voice, it seemed like there was no need to worry.

What was delivered to Ilwoo was a blueprint.

The recipe for creating a barrier stone to prevent gate creation was written down.

If implemented properly, it will be able to protect not only shelters but also important points on the planet.

‘This is all I can do. From now on, it’s up to you. Good luck, Ilwoo.’

Raoul bit his lip as he thought of Ilwoo beyond the dimension.

Then he immediately raised his head and looked at the large wooden fence in the distance.

“Then shall we begin?”

“Everyone ready for battle!”

At Raoul’s words, Philip took out his sword and shouted.

Slurp. Whilick.

And about fifty knights standing behind Raoul and Philip adjusted their weapons at the same time.

“let’s go.”

Whirring.

An army of weapons poured out from behind Raoul and turned the sky upside down.

Clink ding ding!

“That’s the enemy! “It’s the first guild!”

“It’s Count Raoul! “Hurry up and get the knights…!”

Imperial soldiers on the wooden wall rang emergency bells and shouted.

But it was just a useless struggle.

Brilliant auror blades rose from the swords of the fifty knights approaching the wooden fence.

A month before the end of service, the First Guild finally drew its sword.

And the southern part of the Elemental Jungle occupied by the imperial army was swept away in an instant, as if a tsunami swept through.

* * *

Hooked.

When the branch was inserted into the center of the town tree, fresh mana spread out and a new barrier was created.

“I will report to you. It is said that the Imperial Army has withdrawn from all Town Tree settlements within 5km of the front. It appears that the imperial army is currently converging on the fortress in the Spirit Tree Forest.”

“Right. “Withdraw all the crews and build a defense line centered around this place.”

“Yes Master.”

The First Guild continued to advance and broke through more than half of the elemental jungle in less than 15 days.

The imperial army could not properly resist the breakthrough of superhumans over 50 years old.

After the Empire learned of their appearance, they withdrew all their forces.

Thanks to this, we were able to occupy the Town Tree, which was almost an uninhabited area.

But this is where the surprise attack works.

Coincidentally, the imperial army rebuilt the defense line at the fortress that Raoul had crossed over to save the fairies.

Of course, it was probably because they had calculated to block the First Guild’s offensive.

‘The goal has already been achieved.’

Raoul looked at the map and made up his mind.

There was no longer any intention of provoking the empire into an all-out war.

The area occupied by the First Guild was already significant, equivalent to one-fifth of the entire elemental jungle.

‘This won’t be enough.’

thud. thud.

The sound of stone blocks being taken out of the inventory echoed throughout the elemental jungle.

* * *

Tick. Tick.

Time passed without stopping.

So the time that the Connect system predicted has finally arrived.

Kugwagwagwang!

‘Ugh!’

A wave of overwhelming power swept through Raoul’s entire body.

Could it be that the lightning god is angry?

The sky was covered with blue lightning, as if a net had been spread out.

All of Connect’s magic circles and barriers stopped working instantly.

And all living things stopped moving due to the unknown pressure.

I thought that if the world stopped, it would be like this.

Fazizik.

For a moment the light disappeared and then everything returned to normal.

As if nothing had happened.

“Is Ravel okay?”

“Yeah, no problem.”

Just in case, Ravel, who was in the skill encyclopedia, appeared with a slightly nervous expression.

She said, closing her eyes for a moment and checking something.

“Raul. All connection to Earth has been lost. “The internet and communication with guild members are all working.”

Indeed, as the connect system said, the connection between the two dimensions seemed to have been lost.

However, the system itself did not stop.

The community function inside Connect still seemed to work.

And as if he had been waiting for it, Connect’s notice appeared before Raoul’s eyes.

[Notice]

-The update has been completed.

-Connect official service begins.

-[Caution] The grace period applies only to the Kingdom. It’s up to you to protect yourself from monsters and other forces.

‘this.’

Raoul clicked his tongue.

It was clear what the system was trying to say.

Now, players are also residents of Connect.

Rapid growth and infinite resurrection, which were the player’s greatest privileges, are no longer available.

“It’s going to be a pain in the ass.”

One life.

If you die, it’s really over.

Even knowing this fact, will players be able to hunt monsters and go to battle like before?

‘It must be difficult.’

Existing players who have become accustomed to Connect will also be reluctant.

There is no need to talk about the people of Earth who migrated to Connect as if to escape.

But eventually they will have to choose.

This is Connect, not Earth.

A world where monsters exist and war is endless.

If you don’t sharpen your strength, you will eventually be swallowed up by the world called Connect.

Will you become a powerful hunter using the Connect system?

Will we be overcome by fear and abandon the opportunity and remain a mere subordinate class?

It all depends on their own choice.

Of course, Raoul had no intention of just watching.

“Everyone gather in the conference room. All Purple Guild members will also attend.”

At the very least, he couldn’t neglect those who had come into his arms and would come into his arms, right?

Raoul had the power to protect and support them until they adapted to the new world.

Now it’s time to reveal the real gems.

* * *

500 million people.

It was by no means a small number.

The number of Earthlings who chose the official Connect service far exceeded Raoul’s expectations.

And 80% of them, or 400 million people, were new players who had never accessed Connect.

Most Earthlings who passed the suitability test chose Connect.

There was enough motivation for that.

Just before Selection Day.

Numerous gates have been created on Earth as if predicting the 5th gate wave.

Those who thought about it until the end must have decided that there is no future for Earth.

And perhaps unsurprisingly, the group of migrants included many heads of government and politicians.

bang!

“This is not a promise!”

“What do you mean?”

Bernard asked back without blinking, as if he didn’t know what the problem was.

“The land that your master promised to provide! Didn’t you say that it was a place where you could exercise autonomy without the kingdom’s power?”

The person protesting with blood on his neck was none other than Japanese Prime Minister Kitashiro Azuki.

And the heads of other governments gathered behind him seemed to have the same thought.
