1.
[You have passed through the melting Frozen Tundra.]
[The troops are feeling fatigue from the forced march.]
[Thanks to your proper intervention, the marching speed has remained consistent.]
[You have prevented action consumption due to fatigue for the next turn.]
[▶End of Silent Swordsman's Turn.]
After the Silent Swordsman's forces passed through the Frozen Tundra,
The great monster reached the rear fields and was nearly at the main city, following a path that bypassed the Frozen Tundra.
[▶End of Great Monster's Turn.] ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
The White Spirit General had finally broken through the front lines and cleared a path toward the great monster.
[▶End of White Spirit General's Turn.]
One more turn.
In just one more turn, the great monster will become even stronger.
Two more turns.
In just two more turns, the White Spirit General will finally catch up to the great monster.
Therefore, the actions in this 8th turn were more crucial than any previous turn.
This was the moment to act one step ahead of the great monster and White Spirit General.

2.
【Silent Swordsman's Phase】
[Choose a faction strategy.]
[This turn, you can choose 2 strategies.]
[You have 2 strategy selections remaining.]
【Faction Strategy】
Conference (Get advice, expand the map)Investigation (Obtain information, acquire items, discover talents)Attack (Invade fields, expand influence)Station (Defend fields, recover from injuries, expand troops)Stratagem (Trigger an ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) event)Diplomacy (Trigger an event)Special (Trigger an event)
So far, bold advances had been the only strategy.
Thanks to those bold moves, many successes had been achieved, but simply rushing forward was no different from a mayfly leaping into the flames.
A march of destruction that would burn herself and lead everyone to their deaths.
‘I need to be more cautious.’
Mark2, Dutta, the wandering merchant.
There are people she needs to protect.
The enemy cavalry, the extreme bear warriors, the demon of the night.
Her subordinates, who follow her back.
Porters.
There were also suspicious allies.
Boo Gieol.
A fellow who stands beside her.
She couldn’t allow herself to be dragged into a battle where everyone dies, only to repeat the same tragic end as the Pillars of Ascension or the wandering merchant siblings.
To prevent them from falling into death, a more responsible approach was needed.
[▶Conference]
[Initiating the faction conference.]
With the decision made, the first faction conference was being held in the Silent Swordsman’s camp, as she had never hosted a real conference, aside from the military conferences in the conquered fields.
"First faction conference! How long has it been since the faction was established and we’re only holding our first conference now?!"
Thump, thump.
"Mark2 loves conferences. We even got to play Battle Minefield thanks to a conference. We’re definitely going to do something amazing again this time."
"Battle? Minefield? I’m not sure, but it seems that the human’s clone enjoys making string!"
The three nonchalant chatterboxes made noise without tension, causing the enemy cavalry to bang their spear on the ground.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
"Quiet. I won’t say you should show respect before the lord, but aren’t you talking too much?"
The first general of the Silent Swordsman’s army, the enemy cavalry.
Even though there were more allies, his position in the faction had not changed.
He was the pillar supporting the Silent Swordsman, who never once complained, no matter how difficult the task, and everyone recognized his dedication.
"It’s time for a ‘Hapjukgi’!"
"Hap."
"Hap."
The three foolishly puffed out their cheeks, holding their breath in unison.
Their faces turned red and they struggled in discomfort, to which the porter gently spoke.
"You don’t need to hold your breath just to play ‘Hapjukgi.’"
"Whoosh! Thanks to you, I’ve almost died..."
"Besides, aren’t you the military strategist? How can you keep quiet when you should be leading the conference?"
"But I don’t even know why we’re holding the conference!"
"That’s true. First, it seems like the Silent Swordsman should decide. What is the purpose of this conference?"
【Interaction Choice】
[The purpose of holding this faction conference is...]
Status checkMorale boosting (Hold a tournament)Regional investigation (Map expansion, field information acquisition)Tactical formulation (Develop custom strategies for each field)Territory analysis (Form strategies to oppose other factions)
Look at the AI performance of holding a tournamentEven the hybrid AI acknowledges the addiction to holding tournamentsIt’s an incurable addiction. Just live with it.HahahaAre you seriously not even trying to fix this anymore?ㅋㅋㅋThey treat it like an incurable diseaseㅋㅋㅋ
[▶3. Regional Investigation (Map expansion, field information acquisition)]
"Wise decision."
"Dutta doesn’t know about information in deep places! Even the elders of the tribe know about fields nearby!"
"Wouldn’t the extreme bear warrior know about it?"
The extreme bear warrior shook his head.
"The area I operated in was near the capital and frontline areas. I don’t know much beyond the military operation zones. The only information I know is that the ruler here is the Goblin King."
Everyone’s gaze shifted to the only goblin present in the conference, the wandering merchant.
"I don’t know!"
The wandering merchant answered cheerfully.
"I’ve heard of a great elder among the goblins, but I’m just a wandering merchant. I wasn’t raised there, and I don’t know much more than others!"
Unfortunately, that was a bust.
The extreme bear warrior bowed his head in apology.
"I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help."
"It was plenty helpful!"
"But I’m troubled. If we can’t get more detailed information, we’ll have to send out our subordinates to gather it, and that will waste time..."
One turn’s worth of action was to be spent on this.
Though disappointing, it was unavoidable. Just as the decision was made, an unexpected person spoke.
"There’s no need for that. I know about them."
"...Boo Gieol. Is it you?"
"It’s not Boo Gieol! It’s Boo Gieol!"
"Is that so? My apologies. Boo Gieol, though I’m not suspicious, how do you know about the Goblin King? It’s known that he doesn’t easily communicate with other monsters."
"I was once known as the Great Soul Demon. In my time, I fought with every strong enemy that received the title of king, even the Goblin King."
"Great Soul Demon! So... were you that woman from back then?"
The extreme bear warrior seemed to recognize Boo Gieol’s past.
Mark2 showed curiosity.
"Question. Mark2 is curious. If you fought with the king, did you also face the Hell King or the King of the Abyss?"
"I fought with the Hell King. I didn’t face the so-called King of the Abyss."
"That’s amazing!"
The promise to play ‘Hapjukgi’ seemed to have been forgotten as the three playful chatterboxes resumed their noisy talk.
They quieted briefly but became loud again, so everyone gave up trying to stop them and just made sure it didn’t get too disruptive.
"So, who won the fight against the Hell King?"
"Of course, I won."
"How come you never mentioned this amazing story before? If it were me, I’d be itching to tell everyone!"
"No one asked me."
"......"
Haeungheung thought.
This person really does have a personality somewhat similar to Eom Gil-dong or Woo Jiwoo.
They have a natural talent for annoying people.
Of course, those involved wouldn’t agree with that thought.
Haeungheung was the ultimate in that department.
"The Hell King, Ice Emperor, Great Dragon General, Dark Prince, Descendant of Orochi, Tsukuyomi the Lunar Lord’s Vessel. Those were the days when I fought countless strong opponents. What a nostalgic past."
"Didn’t you fight the Queen of the Dream Demons?"
"That coward was still the High Priest of the Grain Goddess back when I was the Great Soul Demon. She wasn’t even the high priestess."
Even the enemy cavalry, who had asked out of curiosity, was shocked by the overwhelming names.
Ice Emperor? What is that? Hidden boss?If you raise favorability with the first Snow Woman, she occasionally talks about the old ruler of the Snow Mountain. That might be it.Great Dragon General? What’s that?There’s a neutral field near the frontlines that no one touches. They’re the ruler of that area.If the army doesn’t touch it, they must be ridiculously strong.Descendant of Orochi? Why is this the first time I’m hearing about this?I’m a 100th run veteran, but where does the Tsukuyomi Vessel boss come from?After 100 runs, shouldn’t you figure this out and tell us?ㅋㅋㅋ
The Demon of the Night carefully asked.
"I thought the mistress was strong, but Boo Gieol was no slouch either. I, as a member of the Night Tribe, also fought the Tsukuyomi Vessel, which I’ve only heard of by name."
"The Silent Swordsman is quite impressive for a human. There’s still a long road ahead, but."
"May I ask what happened to the Tsukuyomi Vessel?"
"I killed it."
"......!"
"Did you want to meet it?"
"...I’m a monster that needs to evolve by meeting the Tsukuyomi Vessel... Never mind, it’s nothing. You don’t need to care. Huu..."
The Demon of the Night’s voice grew quieter as he stared at the bag.
Our bright one’s become a little timidㅋㅋㅋIs this a class change?If a class-changing NPC dies, you can’t class change, right?ㅋㅋㅋ
"Even if I met it, I would’ve been disappointed. It was weak."
Boo Gieol’s comforting words obviously didn’t bring any comfort to the Demon of the Night.
