Chapter 224 Fall of the Empire (1)
Starting with the Bamal Empire, the Harmel Empire dreamed of conquering the entire continent.
Using the Dragon Bone acquired by chance as bait, they secretly enlisted various forces including the Mage Tower. Even after the war started, they were thoroughly silent about the Dragonborn, but everything was forcibly exposed by the 5 Mage Towers.
[As a result of their own investigation into the circumstances that led to this war, the Harmel Empire confirmed that the recently acquired Dragon Bone was illegally plundered, and the 5 Mage Towers were astonished. I am deeply disappointed and condemn this despicable act that tarnishes the high glory and honor of the empire
. It not only contained information about the secret behind-the-scenes dealings that the Harmel Empire had requested to keep secret, but also included the Mage Tower’s bloody threats against them.
[Therefore, the 5th Mage Tower officially requests the Harmel Empire to return the stolen Dragon Bone to its original owner. If you do not respond to the above request within 5 days, the 5 Magic Towers declare that they will actively intervene in this war to establish justice on the continent and reclaim the treasure of the entire continent, the Dragon Bone, from those dishonorable.]
It was written, but to put it simply, the 5th Mage Tower that cast ‘Give me a dragon bone’. The reaction of the users who participated in this main scenario heated up with the official declaration of the 5th Mage Tower that they would officially join the side of the Bamal Empire.
-Wow, it’s hard to deal with the deck fan, so I’m going to search, but you’re going to participate in the battle with the magic tower?
-Ah….. You really made a mistake in choosing your formation. You should have boarded the Barmal Coin.
– No, but that’s the reason for participating in the war, right? The wizards I know aren’t like that…
Users who don’t know exactly what’s going on inside the Mage Tower. They suddenly came together and had doubts about the Mage Tower’s move to side with the Bamal Empire, and soon after, all sorts of jokes began to spread through users belonging to the Mage Tower.
-A wizard belonging to the Blue Mage Tower. cut it out
It’s not the exact content, but he’s friendly with a high-ranking wizard inside the Mage Tower. It’s a story I heard by chance, but the Mage Towers obviously ate together with the Harmel Empire in the beginning. So, internally, there was also a story telling adventurers not to stand in the camp of the Bamal Empire. So me and all the other wizards were attached to the Harmel Empire, but they suddenly took a sharp turn. I don’t know, but the Bamal Empire suggested something big. It’s a dragon bone, but they’re not the ones who give it up for no reason.
A post about a user who belongs to the Blue Mage Tower and unraveling the incomprehensible behavior of the Mage Tower. And the post started to run full of comments with similar content.
-Really;; Don’t side with the Bamal Empire. That’s why I chose the Harmel camp, but now I’m telling you not to come and support me.
– No, does this make sense? If you choose a faction, you can’t change it, so give me the right to change!
-Magic Tower user forced exit from main scenario jam. Ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha – No, our Mage Tower is doing something like this because the Bamal Empire ate something;
Among the many interests, the 5 Mage Towers would have chosen the Harmel Empire as the most beneficial direction. However, because they quickly changed their stance by slapping Udyr’s cheek from side to side in a single moment, the Mage Tower users who were forcibly banned from participating in the scenario gnashed their teeth, but there were others who were angry at the sudden change of position of the Mage Tower.
Kwaaang.
“What the hell kind of trick is this! To stand on the side of the Bamal Empire!”
Prince Dmitri Il, who was officially informed of the Mage Tower’s position.
He strongly protested, expressing unsparing anger at Jamie, the wizard of the Blue Mage Tower, who leads the magic corps dispatched from the 5th Mage Tower. However, despite his formidable spirit, Jamie once again notified the position of the 5th Mage Tower in a firm and businesslike tone.
“I didn’t say I would be on the side of the Bamal Empire, Prince Dmitry. The 5th Mage Tower simply confirmed a serious problem with the Dragonborn, which they agreed to receive instead of cooperating with the Harmel Empire in this war, and accordingly withdraw their support for the Harmel Empire in this war.”
The huge amount of dragon bones promised by the Harmel Empire. However, they didn’t say anything about the fact that the item was stolen, so Jamie asked in a cold voice.
“No matter how valuable Dragonborn is, I don’t want to be stigmatized as an unscrupulous trader who knew it was stolen. I don’t know if the low prince knows how much this incident has reduced the honor and prestige of the Mage Tower.”
“…..”
Dmitry has nothing to say about that part. But he shouted again in anger as if this was not the case.
“Okay, saying yes to quitting this war. But why is the Mage Tower interfering with the Dragonborn?! If you don’t return it to the original owner, he will intervene in this war…? How is that different from siding with the Bamal Empire!”
It is not that they will return to neutrality, but the position of the Mage Tower that they will participate in the war if the dragon bones are not released. Regarding that part, Jamie shrugged his shoulders as if he had nothing to say, and answered simply.
“I don’t think that’s what I’m talking about. I’m just conveying the decision made by the Mage Tower, and I don’t know what discussions have taken place in this regard.”
Jamie cuts off Prince Dmitri’s words and turns around, saying that he doesn’t know, so don’t ask. A thought passed through Prince Dmitry’s head as he looked at her back after notifying her of the Mage Tower’s position.
‘Just kill them all…?’
A magic corps composed of thousands of wizards dispatched by the 5 Magic Towers. 4th and 5th circles. Including even the 6th Circle Archmage, they boasted strong enough firepower to deal with the well-trained armies of small and medium kingdoms.
Even the Harmel Empire was a difficult opponent to the point where they had to endure a huge loss of troops. His head began to spin quickly, knowing full well that they would meet again as enemies of the Harmel Empire if they withdrew and returned.
Crossing the irreversible river with the 5 Magic Towers and dealing a fatal blow to their core power?
Or do you let them go and meet again as enemies and kneel in front of them miserably?
Prince Dmitry pondered over two options. With options so out of balance, he was able to make that decision not long after.
“Duke of Diern.”
“Yes, poor prince.”
At the call of Prince Dmitry Il, who called him with a cold face as if he had made a decision, the Duke of Diern answered with a serious face.
“If you let them withdraw, they will eventually become enemies aiming for the heart of the empire.”
“…..”
A situation that turns so suddenly. The sudden betrayal of the 5th Mage Tower was confusing and shocking to the Duke of Diern as well, so he did not say anything even after grasping Prince Dmitri Il’s will.
“You know what to do?”
“….That’s right.”
The Duke of Diern nodded and answered Prince Dmitri’s question. Prince Dmitry ordered him coldly with eyes full of anger and contempt.
“Mobilize all high-ranking knights and wizards. And exterminate all those who betrayed the empire. Everything, starting with that cheeky bitch.”

Korean branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. in charge of Arcadia’s 2nd continent.
After the outbreak of the 4th main scenario, they ran around busier than anyone else in rapidly changing situations.
“Boss! Users belonging to the Mage Tower continue to receive complaints asking for faction change rights. What should I do?”
“yes. yes. no. Did you say reporter Lee Sang-hoon? If you write an article like that, the real legal team will respond directly. As of now, there is no official position from the company, so if you have any questions, please ask in writing to the public affairs office.”
“The report on the damage status of battles between Deck Fan Mu users and the Harmel Empire has been completed! I will send it right away!”
“Your manager. yes? Meeting time change? Ah yes! yes I will go up now!”
The Crisis Management Response Team is involved in almost everything internally and externally about this situation and is responding in real time. All of the employees were busy running around as if their feet were on fire and were busy handling assigned tasks, and that was because of the situation in the game running amok like crazy.
“No, I said that the 5 Mage Towers belonged to the camp of the Harmel Empire. Why is it changing all of a sudden?”
Even when they grasped the details of the scenario, the Mage Tower had been included in the camp of the Harmel Empire. However, when they suddenly saw their data changing in real time, the crisis management and response team staff were bewildered.
“I know yeah. Also, it is said that the access to information is restricted, but the reason for the change is not even confirmed… Because this is why people are cursing that it is an operation change.”
Even though he is an employee of a game company, the moment he curses at a game is not once or twice. All sorts of unresolvable problems erupting here and there without giving proper authority to the management team running around the field, and the behavior of the upper management, who puts them as meat shields in front of users who are at their peak of anger and only cleans up the poop, made the management team tremble as well.
“Haa… I’m about to leave the company, but the rabbit-like children are stepping on my eyes…”
“I heard that I have circular hair loss due to stress?”
“I… got blisters on my ears because I was always on the phone.”
Employees complaining of tremendous aftereffects while carrying a disease that has never existed before. They grumbled, remembering the peaceful past just a short time ago.
“Haa….. The old days were good…..”
Life with work. evening life.
Clearly, just a few weeks ago, they were able to leave work on time and had plenty of time to relax while drinking coffee, but they were confused as to why they had suddenly become so busy that even their minds were exhausted.
“This is all because of the main scenario…..”
“Main scenario…..”
The Korean continent has already started the 4th main scenario. They grumbled, feeling strangely unreasonable at the fact that they had already gone through this crazy hellish cycle 4 times unlike other continents.
“No, if this is the case, the other continents should be adjusted to some extent. Only us. What is this?”
“So. There is one motive that sent me to another branch, but the workload there is so hostile that it cannot be compared to Korea.”
Other countries that are playing the game relatively peacefully.
Users pouring out angry complaints, reporters salivating to extract a provocative article, and there was no need to write a report while extracting constantly changing data. Their workload was incomparably different from that of the Korean branch.
“Haa….. fuck. Should I just apply for a dispatch and run away?”
“Is it possible….? I’m sure there won’t be one or two people aiming for a job change during the next personnel transfer…?”
hell within hell.
The Crisis Management Response Team boasts the most extreme level of difficulty even in the Korean branch, which is famous for its insane workload. Since the existing department was accidentally created in haste as it flew away, the employees belonging to this department were always contemplating how to escape.
While the Crisis Management and Response Team staff were awake, Alice started operating the arithmetic circuit while keeping an eye on what was happening in the game.
[Unusual detection. Significant variables occur for the main scenario.]
[A surprise attack by the magic corps belonging to the Harmel Empire’s Mage Tower. Massive casualties occurred.]
[84% loss of magic corps. Possible scenario analysis…..]
The Harmel Empire made a surprise attack on the core forces of the Mage Tower to eliminate the aftermath.
Ellis, who watched their mad moves and predicted the damage and aftermath, came to a conclusion shortly after.
[Possible Scenario No. 2001.]
[Main scenario change limited to users belonging to the Mage Tower.]
[Applying an update.]
Users belonging to the Mage Tower were tied up in the main scenario without being able to do this because they had previously chosen the Harmel Empire. Elise declared, granting them a whole new quest.
[Act. 4 The Fall of the Empire]
The sure and complete destruction of the Harmel Empire.
