âI roughly heard... the destination is beyond the mountains?â
âYes, you can pick a place in the East Continent. Anywhere above the forest is fine as long as it isnât too far up.â
âReally? You got a spot in a better place than I thought. You used a lot of authority.â Raccoon smiled with satisfaction.
He had actually been quite worried. It wasnât easy to find land wide enough to build a city.
âBy the way, do you want to bring some people separately to my territory in case there is a problem?â
The emperor had forced this decision, but Hyeonu thought the emperorâs order was okay. There were quite a few different species with a vague fear of pioneering a new city, so he was going to take them all to Phinis. Phinis had a large number of humans compared to the city to be built in the East Continent, but there were fewer risks in Phinis.
âIs it called Phinis? It is a good place. There are already two dwarves. It has been confirmed that they are doing well. Instead, you will have a hard time.â Raccoon looked at Hyeonu with a sorry expression as he knew how useless the different species were.
There werenât many of them who could properly carry out production activities. Most of them just played around, ate, and trained.
âStill, I think a lot of dwarves will come thanks to the two Golden Hammers. I think it will be fine. Isnât there that saying that one great person is a match for 100? One dwarf is worth 100 of those from the different species.â
However, Hyeonu was fine. The cost of the different species was nothing. The dwarves just had to work and make money. It was sufficient to take money from the players who would flock to Phinis just to see the different species.
âIn any case, the time when I was lacking gold is over.â
Currently, Hyeonu was the richest man in Arena. The income he earned from Phinis and Etono was enormous, and he had already accumulated huge amounts of gold due to the potion trading. It was still piling up at the moment. He earned money, but he didnât spend it. Nevertheless, money still had to be collected.
âIf they have a conscience, theyâll do well. However, come to me if something goes wrong. I will let you personally experience natureâs providence.â
âNatureâs providence?â Hyeonu cocked his head at Raccoonâs words. It wasnât easy to understand the meaning of ânatureâs providenceâ.
-Are orcs studying these days? It is natureâs providence.
-In fact, that orc is a shaman.
-An orc hiding magic. Tremble.
-The muscles are decorative. Crazy ã ã ã ã
The viewers showed a similar reaction to Hyeonu.
âNatureâs providenceâ werenât words that would emerge from a muscular orc. The feeling the words gave off was more suitable for someone with an intellectual class like a shaman or magician than a warrior.
âWater flows from top to bottom. Donât you even know this?â Raccoon gave Hyeonu a look like he was pathetic.
It was only then that Hyeonu realized what Raccoon meant. âParental love toward youngsters...â
What Raccoon said he would show was what Hyeonu had experienced with despair in the army.
-It is the mindset to call the parents when the child gets into trouble.
-Then the parents will go home and discipline the child.
It is an absolutely fantastic idea.
âI know. Iâll take care of it on my side if there is anything. They arenât stupid, so they will understand the situation they are in.â

The sight of 10,000 members of different species moving was spectacular. They werenât marching in line with each other like an army. However, the fact that there were so many non-human beings moving together made the scene special.
âI donât know the way. I think the directions should be given by others.â Hyeonu walked for a while before realizing he didnât know the way. He had been told to go this way, so he just walked.
Raccoon answered Hyeonuâs unasked question, âYou just have to go straight. Thatâs it. In any case, a specific location hasnât been set, right?â
From the beginning, Hyeonu hadnât told them an exact destination. No, right from the start, it hadnât been set at all. They just needed to settle down somewhere in the southernmost part of the East Continent, so it was just a matter of going in the right direction.
âCan we go through the forest like this? I heard from Ikta that there is a safe way to pass through the forest?â
âOnly weak people do that. With this many... we can go anywhere. It isnât to the point of dying.â
Hyeonuâs worries were excessive. There were no monsters in Anfra Forest that could threaten him. Now, more than 10,000 different species had gathered here. This was enough power to blow away some of the Anfra Forest.
âIt isnât me. Wouldnât the others have a problem moving through the forest?â
âIsnât there me? You are worrying too much. Or is it that you donât believe in me?â Raccoon frowned. At this point, he doubted what Hyeonu thought of him. Raccoon continued, âDonât worry, donât worry. In addition, donât underestimate those who only eat and sharpen their blades. They arenât as good as you, but it isnât to the point where they can be called weak.â
The moment Raccoon finished speaking, battles started to take place everywhere. The different species rushed with their weapons toward the monsters that appeared. In the midst of this, the ones that stood out the most were the elves. Most of their fighting methods used elementals. So elementals with all types of attributes appeared, attacking monsters with spears of fire, blades of wind, or turning patches of ground upside down.
âIt is gorgeous. The power is also good.â
Hyeonu carefully observed the elvesâ battle. The magical bombardment that was carried out without any preparations seemed very convenient to use.
-It is gorgeous, gorgeous.
-How can there be so many elementals?
-In fact, the elementalist is a very poor class. It just looks good because the elves are using it.
-Thatâs right. It is a typical low-risk, low-returns class. It is as weak as it is comfortable. They are just of a high level.
However, the viewers had a different opinion. Hyeonu didnât know because he wasnât interested in elementalists, but the elementalist was a very undesirable class above a certain level. There was only one reasonâthey were weak.
There was no other reason. The elementalist was weaker than other magician classes at the same level. It was natural since no control was needed. There were no easy or strong classes in Arena. The easier it was, the weaker it was. The harder it was, the stronger it was.
-By the wall, all strong elementalists are rich.
-It is exclusive to wallet warriors.
-There are many elementalists who are uncles.
-There arenât many elementalists among my ranker acquaintances. ã ã ã
-It is capitalism itself.
However, it was possible for the class to be both easy to use and strong. It was definitely possible if the players were covered with items that didnât match their level. Therefore, high-level elementalists couldnât be laughed at because they were very rich in reality.
âI should do some hunting in the front as well.â
The monsters quickly disappeared. He thought this expedition would be more boring than he expected. If he stood in the back, he felt like he wouldnât be able to do anything until the moment he exited Anfra Forest.
âIt is strong. Strong.â A sigh flowed from Hyeonuâs mouth in appreciation of the battle.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hyeonuâs live stream ended before he exited Anfra Forest. They might be passing through Anfra Forest in a straight line, but it wasnât a narrow area. In particular, the expedition of 10,000 different species could not move while running. There were various different species, so their movement speed was different. Naturally, they had to meet the standard for the slowest. It was because not a single person should be left behind.
âRaccoon, arenât you bored?â Hyeonu let out a deep sigh at the tedious march. The thought of having to do one more large-scale move like this one made him feel bored already.
âIâm bored. It isnât interesting. I donât know what Iâm doing here,â Raccoon said.
He was no different from Hyeonu. Rather, he felt worse.
Raccoon added, âIt would be several times more interesting to teach that Cancun guy.â
He and Hyeonu had only gone into battle once or twice. From the standpoint of leading a huge party, they couldnât recklessly focus on fighting. They had to keep an eye to see if someone was hurt or if something might happen.
âI would rather have something happen.â
However, unlike Hyeonuâs wish, nothing happened even as they walked out of Anfra Forest.

During the time when the community was buzzing about the fact that Hyeonu was leading the different species to the East Continent, some posts started to appear in the community. It didnât become an issue because it was buried by Hyeonuâs travels, but it was a very important topic for some people.
-Why arenât the dark elves moving with Alley Leader?
-The dark elves are moving in groups. It seems to be more than a few thousand. There are a lot. I guess the dark elves donât belong to that League of Different Species or something?
It was an eyewitness account of seeing the dark elves who were expelled from the League of Different Species.
-They seem to be moving separately because there are a lot of them.
-I saw the dark elves as well. It is in a swarm. By the way, they didnât attack first?
-All the kids who attacked fearlessly died ã ã ã ã ã ã
-I think I saw 100 kids killed by the dark elves.
It wasnât just one or two people who saw them. There were quite a number of eyewitnesses. The dark elves moved as covertly as possible, but there was a limit to their secret movements due to their numbers. The people who saw the dark elvesâ great migration showed different reactions.
Some players took photos or videos of the dark elves, while others couldnât resist their curiosity and rushed to the dark elves. The former were fine, but the latter were forced to log out. They had overlooked the power of the dark elves.
The dark elves they knew from before and the ones that belonged to the League of Different Species were on a different level. They looked the same, but they were completely different species. The players had rushed in without knowing this, so in a way, it was a scheduled ending.
âGreat tribe chief, there isnât long to go until we reach the glacier zone that is our destination.â
As most of the dark elves were resting, one of the dark elves returned from scouting and reported to the new great tribe chief, Zerville.
âThe wind is cold.â
They could feel the cold air now. If they headed toward the cold, they would find the ruins that Shurai, the previous great tribe chief, mentioned. The road to get there was not easy. For some reason, humans attacked them. Of course, most humans just watched before disappearing, but there were some problematic ones like the human who had driven Shurai to his death.
âI will kill them.â Zerville knew what he was going to do was not a good thing.
However, the shock of Shuraiâs death was heavy enough to never give up. He had to get revenge⦠by any means.
âLetâs go. We have to go through the glacier zone. No one can fall behind. No one can give up.â
The dark elves entered the glacier zone while burning with vengeance.
