A Village Has Appeared on My Desktop

Episode 142 – Evidence of development (2)

“Are you saying we should send artillery troops? Well, that’s…”

“I think it’s for the best. “We can protect our technology while helping them.”

What the king, who was watching his ministers bickering, proposed was both exquisite and shocking. Those who had no idea that the idea of sending troops would come out were so embarrassed that their mouths twitched.

“If they were truly in a hurry to fight monsters, I wouldn’t refuse. Additionally, this opportunity will allow us to gain practical combat experience and prepare for the future.”

There was no particular flaw in his logic. It would be perfect if you could charge the other party for the costs incurred by dispatching troops.

The problem was that sending troops went beyond simple exchanges. If they were not careful, external forces could see that they had formed a military alliance with the Arin people.

“Won’t they refuse? “Those who dare to build relationships on equal footing actually allow friendly troops to be stationed in their territory…”

“That’s true, but considering the urgent situation they appealed to, it’s not surprising. “They are the ones who suggested that we join forces right away.”

Even among ministers, reactions were slightly different. However, even those in opposing positions could not actively oppose it. First of all, it was necessary to ask the will of the Arin people.

“Lord Lehar. “I need you to come back again.”

The king, who was watching this, instructed Lihar to go to the north once again. Traveling back and forth across the extremely rough north is a dangerous task that requires risking one’s life.

However, Lihar willingly accepted the order and ran north once again.

“The king of the kingdom made an unexpected proposal.”

And the news that Lihar brought was surprisingly able to reach Varun very quickly.

This was because the druids took turns flying through the sky and crossing the land faster than horses. Varun smiled meaningfully after hearing the kingdom’s proposal.

“Of course, it is true that we need cooperation… but wouldn’t it be a bit dangerous to bring in another country’s military into its territory?”

Those around Varun took a cautious attitude after hearing the suggestion. However, although Varun nodded in agreement with those opinions, he did not make a decision right away.

“I am honestly confident. I am confident that I will make the soldiers of the kingdom who came here without knowing anything into our comrades. Of course, they may act ignorant and ignorant at first. But are there just one or two of them? Were the people here this loyal from the beginning?”

“Well, that is.”

People around him flinched at Varun’s words.

As the saying goes, the Arin people, like other large tribes, were a community created by the merging of numerous tribes that had previously lived separately.

However, unlike other competing tribes that existed in history, there was something more important than long-standing cultural customs or strong military power in the fact that they quickly came together as one at an unimaginable speed and secured our identity as one.

It was the camaraderie of fighting together against monsters that were terrible beyond recognition.

Even the tribes who were not on good terms with each other could not hold back any resentment from the past as they joined forces to fight against bugs that tried to kill anyone at random.

“We fight together and become comrades in arms. “It is an eternal truth.”

Varun planned to receive the kingdom’s artillery force and send it to the northern fortress.

If we fight together while receiving support from their firepower, they will eventually have no choice but to melt into one as they have done so far.

Rather, there was nothing to lose if they used it as a stepping stone to develop a closer relationship with the kingdom.

“Rihar, there is no need to come here. Letai, you will join him with the personal letter I am writing for you.”

“I understand, Warchief.”

After short but deep consideration, Varun came to a conclusion and quickly took action.

***

“hmm…”

I was able to get a glimpse of what Varun and Jumin were thinking about together, and I was depressed after learning what was going on.

To be honest, I didn’t really like the idea of foreign troops stationed inside our territory. This is because the moment they exist, I cannot intervene in the screen.

However, I understood why the residents made that decision. Even if there are people who are hostile or neutral, it won’t be a problem if you make them allies.

‘Once we fight properly, we have no choice but to become friends.’

LeTai, Lihar, etc. have already proven their effectiveness. Although there may be a few who have a rebellious temperament, the majority of people naturally join forces.

I turned my attention to the screen showing the northern fortress and chuckled at the sight of the place becoming more and more heavily guarded.

Through the last battle, our troops cleared the nest of bugs and expanded their territory beyond the river, just before the so-called capital of the Dwarven Kingdom.

Building a new fortress has been abandoned due to issues of efficiency, but residents form groups and patrol the area periodically to prevent enemies from reclaiming the land.

‘Since the north is blocked, are they trying to break through somewhere else?’

As I glanced at the records I had separately written down, I noticed that the one-off invasions of bugs were continuing to increase. The scope is also gradually expanding. It was almost an established fact that as our troops’ territory expanded, their radius of activity also increased.

In that situation, I couldn’t shake the feeling that they were plotting some kind of trick.

‘Bugs’ behavior patterns are similar in all worlds.’

After covering the screen for a moment, I opened an Internet window and accessed the site. This site, led by Soyeon Lee, is a kind of record of bugs created by Korean users.

As the first user to start working in this country, I also have a significant stake in the records of this archive.

The classification criteria itself, such as the single type that closes on its own, the persistent type that needs to be closed manually, the nest that bursts when the time is right, and the colony type that attempts to erode, were derived from me.

Now, foreigners have started using this site, and it is possible to obtain information about the behavior and types of bugs organized from the user’s perspective.

-They are clever. It is clear that their goal is a ‘screen’ through which they can crawl out into reality, but they will do whatever they can to get there.

“I feel like I’m constantly poking around right now, but I’m sure it’s not going to stop there.”

Soyeon Lee agreed with what I said. Our army has already won several large-scale battles against them, but there is no way they will just sit back and do nothing as they have already destroyed the Dwarven Kingdom.

They are crazy monsters who are willing to give up their lives for the sake of their goals.

[Elf village entrance (pollution)]

“after.”

And my predictions soon turned out to be true. The moment when Varun sent a reply to the kingdom of Baruk. I checked the notification that suddenly popped up and sighed.

When should I connect? Finally, something went wrong in the place where I was stocking up.

“—?! –!”

Now that something had happened, I couldn’t be late like I was with the dwarves. I don’t know exactly where that place called Elf Village in the master program is, but it’s obvious that if we leave it alone, a large number of enemies will come targeting us again.

I immediately paid the points and unlocked the screen. The unlocked screen was connected to the east of the first village, a place not yet used by residents.

Then he picked up the residents with a mouse and brought them there.

“—!”

The villagers who were brought to me with embarrassed faces quickly realized the situation and quickly reported this to the tribal leaders, including Varun.

‘There is no time to waste.’

I actively used the mouse and unit designation to urge them on. I had to hurry through the portal and defeat the enemies that appeared there.

In this process, naturally, the Holy Knights were mobilized first. The most reliable and strong ones. They have already proven their strength.

Even when I forcibly gave the order to move, they rode forward without a moment of hesitation.

At the same time, my screen also turned. A forest with an ecology and landscape that is completely different from the northern grasslands where residents lived. I used the wheel to zoom out as much as possible and looked around the screen to find where I needed to go.

[Forgotten Forest (1)]

[Elf Hunter Pirim]

“Are you a real elf? Well, there really were dwarves too.”

As a result, we were able to find people moving around busily in this unknown forest. After seeing their human-like appearance, the residents who were designated as a unit were quickly moved there.

No matter who they are, those who are fighting against bugs need to be rescued first.

“—!?”

The first to run were the paladins, with Riena in the lead. They flinched when they saw the elves being attacked by bugs, but then charged forward without hesitation.

I was fiddling with making a defensive turret, but I didn’t install one. Instead, he took out a chainsaw and started cutting down bugs that were far away from the paladins.

“–, —…”

Fighting bugs is something we are familiar with. However, the paladins who suddenly invaded and the elves who saw my chainsaw seemed confused.

I couldn’t help but smile bitterly at those mesmerized looks. Because I don’t have much free time right now. For our own sake, we will save them against their will.

‘We have to move quickly.’

I hurriedly sent additional reinforcements to the place where the paladins were fighting. As I gave directions like this, our allies were able to go straight to their destination without getting confused, and they immediately joined the battlefield and drove out the bugs. The power of skilled soldiers armed with high-quality equipment.

Even in an urgent situation, a faint smile came out at the result that I had steadily cultivated.

And in the process, the elves who had quickly become left behind were banding together and keeping an eye on their allies.

‘They open their nest.’

While the residents were fighting, I searched the screen and found where they had opened the gate. In what appeared to be an elf village, many enemies were already encamped and guarding the gate.

To close the place, you must first get rid of all the monsters around it. When I put a point there with the mouse, my teammate quickly started moving there.

With my help, our troops were able to move quickly without getting lost even in a land they had never been to before.

‘Are these guys different from the ants?’

And that fleeting moment. After seeing the spider-like appearance of the bugs, I guessed their affiliation. First of all, it seemed a little different from the guys who destroyed the dwarves.

Although it was annoying to see people taking collective action as a group, it is not strange for small groups to take group action.

“uh?”

But my prediction was quickly wrong.

When our soldiers who found them and ran towards them fired arrows, they came together as if they had been waiting and spewed out tentacles to hit the arrows.

I was dizzy when I saw one of them sacrifice himself and jump forward and get hit before the magic fired by our wizard also exploded and hit the surrounding area.

The fighting method shown by the bugs I saw for the first time was the same as the method used by the northern ant colony to deal with the Arin tribe.
