The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor - Chapter 379

Chapter 379

 Volume 40 Chapter 2

 Lee Hyun sprinkled the seeds for lettuce in the field at his house .

“I can wrap pork belly in it later to eat . ”

He could easily buy lettuce but then money would be wasted .  Eating lettuce, sweet potato, potatoes etc . grown in his field felt good .

The Haven Empire was coming to invade in Royal Road so he didn’t have a lot of time to spend in reality .  He needed to establish countermeasures to stop them, raise Time Sculpting and recover the levels he lost in the quest .

Despite being busy, he made sure to spend 30 minutes taking care of the house .  All the stress that built up would be cleared by cleaning .  fisioeanknuhfinasndkajfdhfioafnaonfsnajkdsaduia

Despite the stations depositing a large sum into his account, Lee Hyun’s life didn’t change .

“The most important thing is to earn money . A job like mine is unstable so I need to collect a lot . ” Originally posted on Rainbow Turtle Translations . Any other site has stolen it .

He didn’t drink, go to a coffee shop or have any expensive hobbies like watching home shopping .

He saved his income .  Once a lump sum was gathered, then he would invest it in land .

“In the future… . I need to give my condolences . All the money spent on education and hospital bills . ”

In South Korea, a lot of money was used to raise their children .

If they didn’t want to fall behind others in this harsh world then it was important to be educated in maths, science and at least two foreign languages from a young age .  Instruments such as the violin or piano should also be learned .  In order to allow them to see the world, parents might send them abroad to study .  There was also skating, shooting, horseback riding and golf .

The potential of children in South Korea was developed to its fullest! If the 24 hours in a day were divided into 10 minute units, most of their lives would be going back and forth to school .

Then there was the intense competition for university admissions and employment .

“Well, I’m afraid of the future . When looking at the television, it is getting hard to hear good news . ” kdfnieoahfjkmfndkflafidknflanfkladnfjnkmdnafdjklnzjvdnmzlkdnfaofaofdnfaknfdkalf

Lee Hyun felt a tremendous sense of responsibility .

At first he thought a family was more of a burden than a happiness .  Meeting someone was something that wasn’t possible in his situation .

His ideal type was a strong woman with vitality .  A woman who could take care of business at the market as well as fry a crispy chicken!

Lee Hyun muttered under his breath .  Property of Rainbow Turtle Translations

“But I’m already in a relationship so I should take responsibility until the end . ”

In the opposite garden, Seo-yoon was holding a rake and planting pepper seedlings .

A few days ago, he went hiking with her and then shared a deep kiss with her in front of the house .  It was a sudden event but the kiss lasted for quite a long time .

In fact, for some reason all the street lights had turned off so there was no need to stop early .  The background music playing in the background made it a very good atmosphere .

He intended to release her lips when the song ended .  But after a brief hesitation, the next song started playing .  dhfoajksndabfuaijbdjlzndkflzknsjfbznfklfnalnfklznlkzfndklfnak

‘Eh, I don’t know . It feels good so I will continue . ’

At least 6 minutes!

Lee Hyun’s thoughts became clear after he kissed her .

‘I have to take responsibility for the rest of my life . I finally have a good woman so I should marry her . ’

These days the world was different .  Kissing occurred after meeting for a few days and there was even further progress .

Lee Hyun was old-fashioned in this aspect .

‘My love life is over . Well…it is better to fall in love early since there are a lot of expenses in dating . ’

He heard Seo-yoon’s clear voice .  Property of Rainbow Turtle Translations .

“Should I plant more?” Don’t read from pirated sites .

“There are enough peppers…change to planting carrots and cucumbers . It should be enough for 5 people to eat . ”

“Yes, I understand . ”

“After planting, mix it well with the fertilizer . Farming is fertilizer . ”

Seo-yoon was wearing comfortable sportswear while working in the field .

Lee Hyun was also clad in sportswear but he looked scruffy compared to Seo-yoon’s brightness .  She wore sportswear from a luxurious Italian brand .

If Lee Hyun knew the price of the expensive product then he would lose consciousness and be rushed off by the ambulance .  djfshdoifhsoiapidskmancauwaifuajbfekjfndakfna

‘It is good that she can wear sportswear . In the future, we will live a frugal life together . ’

Lee Hyun and Seo-yoon lived next door so it was natural to eat meals together .  Right now Lee Hyun was busy concentrating on Royal Road so she prepared the meals .

She naturally assisted at home and warmly raised Lee Hyun’s animals .  Dogmeat would wag its tail every time she came over to Lee Hyun’s house .  Half Seasoned Half Fried and the baby chickens also had their crest perk up .  The puppies that Dogmeat gave birth to were wallowing in the sun .

He was enjoying a happy life but the slightest slip meant it might disappear .

‘I have to prepare methods to defeat those guys . ’

Lee Hyun contemplated ways to stop the Haven Empire .

The users of the Arpen Kingdom would help but he couldn’t rely on them .  The Alkazar Bridge would block the Haven Empire’s army for a few days but they would eventually reach the Earth Palace .

“A disaster is necessary and I should use Sculpture Resurrection . The best person to revive…damn, I really don’t like him . ”

He thought about the skills that could be used .  Read from Rainbow Turtle Translations

He had fought the Immortal Legion as the orc Karichwi .  The terrain and aggressive subordinates meant they followed his commands without any doubts .  Furthermore, there was time to prepare .

However, it was close to impossible to configure a strong chain of command with users .  Even if the users made large scale preparations for war, there was no guarantee there weren’t any spies from the Hermes Guild . nbhdjbasruieajfndakfnaawadeazcsaofpwaofjabfamfbh

“Those fellows from the Hermes Guild won’t be noticed . And I need to predict what actions they might take . ”

Lee Hyun thought about the things that might occur in the future .

Strategies and tactics weren’t a big deal . There were tips and tricks that could be used to solve a problem .  In the case of a quest, a quick mind and using various skills were important .

Sculpture Transformation was a skill he used in many adventures .  Blending into a crowd of opponents or changing species to maximize strength! However, Sculpture Transformation wouldn’t be useful against the army of the Haven Empire .

In fact, the Hermes Guild was the worst opponent for him .  They had a thorough plan and used their momentum to quickly dominate the Versailles Continent .

Usually fictional villains would make a mistake by going slowly and giving the hero time to grow .  But the Hermes Guild quickly secured important victories in the war .

Lee Hyun caused damage to them but when looking at the overall plan, it was only minor damage that didn’t cause them any disruptions .  aswaufbdjafkajofaopwafikndapnaff

“Completely unexpected…well, there aren’t any large changes to the army . And there are large plains in front of the Earth Palace . ”

Lee Hyun was currently lying down in the yard with the warm sun shining down on him .

“Hrmm, a tactic that can be connected to a disaster…I should buy some things . They can be used . ”

He decided to do a bulk purchase through Mapan .  Of course, there were still some gaps . The Haven Empire was capable of massive ranged attacks so suitable tactics needed to be prepared .

It was necessary to change his battle approach .

“If I cause a large disaster while the northern craftsmen prepare rafts…no, many users would need to participate and the Hermes Guild would certainly notice . Well, hopefully I can obtain some things for free . ”

Lee Hyun steadily built up battle plans for the area in front of the Earth Palace .  He questioned how much progress there would be but he had to try it anyway .

“I just settled a long quest and now there is a war . Will it be easier once the war is finished? Honestly, I don’t have high expectations . ”

Later that night, Lee Hyun assembled old parts and turned on the computer .  There was the sound of the old fan blowing as the computer started operating .

Lee Hyun wrote a post on the Dark Gamers bulletin boards .

It was understandable that the Dark Gamers took a neutral stance in the war between users .  Even if Lee Hyun asked them for help, they would only become mercenaries if there was enough profit .  Read LMS on Rainbow Turtle Translations . Don’t read from pirated sites .

It was useless at the moment .  The Dark Gamers would judge what was profitable based on information from the bulletin board .  fsijdfbaofkafnafikdalgnapgdlkjgnfskgnxjvndaknfa

“Well, I don’t know how many will appear but there is a dining table prepared for them . ”

It was a post that only the top rated Dark Gamers could see .

And after that, he went to the homepage of Royal Road and sent an email to a user .

The architect users of the north .  Pavo was on his friends list but he also needed to commission other renowned architects .

“In the worst case scenario, I can’t hand the Earth Palace over to them . ”

He would break it before giving it away!

“It would be a tremendous spectacle . ”gyufdtydrdfyhhjvhviyhjbhiogyftcvguvhbuyhvhvuyvuhv

He was determined to win the war against the Haven Empire but contingencies were necessary .  He could only hope they weren’t needed .  He would rather destroy the castle then lose it .  Property of Rainbow Turtle Translations

“And what about the forces that were defeated by the Hermes Guild?”

Lee Hyun also sent mail to the leaders of the 5 prestigious guilds .  It was a brief suggestion to join forces .  In order to get rid of the juggernaut that swept through them .

A few responded but it was unknown if anything would come from it .

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

Hwaryeong, Bellot, Maylon, Irene, Romuna and Surka were tired .

Normal people wouldn’t believe it .  The girls had tired bodies because they had been shovelling at the earth!

Romuna’s  shovel hit something firm .  Property of Rainbow Turtle Translations

-Uhihihihihi! Human, thanks for freeing me . In return, your flesh… .

“Noisy . Fire Time!”

-Keeek!

Romuna used fire magic to get rid of the ghost .  Read at rainbowturtletranslation . com

Bellot dug at the ground with both hands .  Her face was a mess as it was covered in mud .

“What is it?”

“Nothing big . Just rusted armour . ”

Weed’s hidden treasures from the Pallos Empire were buried in a lake .  They thought it would be piled up in a cave and shining bright and gold .  Of course, it would be good if there were relics from the Pallos Empire as well .  dfjdgoajopneuabvjvmxc,znjciafioafndapdgoapgjakfanfwa

But the reality was that the treasures were hidden in a lake that dried up and became a mudflat .

Ddiring!

“We are being rewarded after acting as  human moles . ”

“Phew, now I have the title Excavator of Hidden Land . ” Romuna wiped the sweat from her forehead and spoke to Bellot .

Only girls had been digging but there was already a pile of treasures in the corner .

The treasures of the Pallos Empire had been buried for a long time so the sword and armours were rusty and needed to go through a purification ritual .

Therefore Irene used her divine power to purify the items while digging .

-Kyahahahah! I’m finally free! Being chained to this infernal sword for all these years…

“Bubi bubi dance!”

“The ghost is moderately strong . Yahap! Beating!”

Hwaryeong and Surka also participated in the ghost hunting .  The beauty with a perfect body did the bubi bubi dance while Surka continuously used her punch attacks .

“Iyahahap! Heavy Blow Vortex!” ueiryeyafghdjbfnamvnuaijfpaifkeafjafbdaoadjfndafafdafa

Surka’s fists of lights dealt a powerful blow to the body of the ghost .

-Ohuhuhu, it hurts . The ghosts that had been waiting a long time for revenge on the humans disappeared in vain… .

Most of the treasures of the Pallos Empire had grudges attached to them .  They had changed owners many times in the warring period .  The ghosts had become stuck due to that environment .

Rowdy ghosts! The ghosts were dangerous but they just died after being excavated .  The group dug all day for treasure but sometimes the ones that emerged were a failure .

But they recalled Weed’s words of encouragement before going to find the treasure .

-In the old days, our ancestors were absolutely brilliant . They eventually left this earth behind . But look .   Property of Rainbow Turtle Translations

There are many rich people in our country .  There are a variety of treasures from the Pallos Empire to be discovered .

The hardest swords and armour .   If they can be well restored then they can be sold for an expensive price .

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

“Ahem, the army of the Haven Empire is definitely strong . The taste of a fight, Geomchi-5 . ”

“The taste of wielding my sword after a long time, Teacher-nim!”

Geomchi organized his disciples in the northern areas occupied by the Haven Empire .

[Kill Without Asking Porridge Unit]

They worried for one day and night before narrowly deciding on the name .

“This is unusual and nice . ” wuaireaifjabndfkgdogksngaojklndagpidakgnaigknmvad

“It suits us perfectly Teacher-nim . ”

“Life shouldn’t be complicated . Or my head will hurt . ”

“Being simple and ignorant is the best!”

A name that meant they would unconditionally kill without asking!

The Haven Empire placed soldiers in the occupied northern territories for long term governance .  tyfrerxcvuhjbjlbgkhcftxfcgjvhbjnbvcfvgbngcfgvhbjnkmbvcdcfgvhb

Originally, the traffic in this area was slow so the villages weren’t as developed .  It was easy for the Haven Empire to expel the northern users and conquer the villages .

“What type of rubbish village is this?”

“The urban planning is a mess . Just burn it and take away the residents . ”

“There are many mines nearby in the surrounding area . The slaves can quickly increase productivity . The development would turn it into a gold mine . ”

The lords that settled in that area brought a large number of slaves from the Central Continent .  The slaves were residents of the kingdoms conquered by the Haven Empire .

After having all their possessions on the continent taken away, they officially became slaves .  Among the slaves were professional merchants, artists, blacksmiths, magicians and even combat professions like gladiators .  The low management and slave engineers that managed to run away meant there actually weren’t that many slaves in the war between kingdoms .

However, the Haven Empire had a strong military force and turned many residents into slaves .  The slaves were brought to the north to develop the area .

“Let’s go, everyone . ”

“We will punish and kill them all . Hiyah!”

Geomchi-3 rode a bull in the front .  And the reliable Sahyungs followed .  Geomchi and Geomchi-2 each led troops comprised of 150 students .  Geomchi-3, Geomchi-4 and Geomchi-5 led the remaining 200 students .

“Ambush from the enemy!”  Property of Rainbow Turtle Translations .

“Ring the emergency bell!”

The enemy inside the wooden fence hurriedly rung the bell in order to signify there was a surprise attack .

“Shake them off!” tdexcfcvhjknkjjjjjjjgycvhvtydguuojhgfxcgjvghcvhjbkjbkj

“Fight without asking questions . Smash everything!”

Ummoooooo!

Geomchi-3 rushed towards the wooden barrier while shouting .  And the troops of the Haven Empire hastily fired arrows above the barrier .  More than 100 arrows headed towards Geomchi-3 in the front .

“Times like these are the most interesting . Go!”

Geomchi-3 wielded a sword in both hands like a windmill .  It was an amazing technique that caused the swords to rotate and hit the arrows .

The swords struck the arrow .

It was originally a warrior’s skill but Geomchi-3’s troops all learned it .  If they learned it until master level then the pair of swords would be raised one level higher .

A martial artist could easily learn combat techniques or created different combinations themselves .

If the skill level of individual weapons reached master level then a skill could be created and their attacks would steadily increase .  A myriad of master combat skills for the sword, spear, bow, axe, club, hammer, mace, shield and armour! It could produce a blow similar to Black Knight’s Strike or Power of Birth .

These master skills could then be bestowed to their disciples .  Of course, that was only possible if they had a complete understanding of the technique .  In other words, they could only pass it onto others after fully mastering the skill .

“Uhahahaha! This taste is really delicious!” bhcbfouaefnakgndapigknaofjbndagpkangaofjnda

Geomchi-3 laughed as the arrows bounced off his body .  His strength would weaken when he got older but right now, he demonstrated his exceptional fighting skills .

“Sahyung, let’s go together . ”

“Good!”

Geomchi-3, Geomchi-4 and Geomchi-5 rode their bulls together in the front .  Stray arrows passed by their ears and a large dust cloud rose up .

The archers were scared and hid their bodies behind the barrier .

They were now 10 metres away from the barrier .

“Smash into them . Heavy Strike!”

“Hmm, this much… . one point attack!”

“There is no need for anything else . It is just crashing against wood . Take this!”

The instructors strongly struck the barrier with their weapons .  Then the barrier was shattered and torn .  The residents and even the knights and soldiers were in a state of panic .

“The knights are mine!” aureaufijdnafjaoidagiaognadpkgdajigdagdpakgndkglngondapigda

“Sahyung, the owner will be the first person to catch them . ”

“We should handle the soldiers before it is too late . ”

Geomchi-3, Geomchi-4 and Geomchi-5 attacked after penetrating through the barrier .

The knights of the Haven Empire .  The knights were loyal to Emperor Bardray but now they were just tasty prey .  The students also found the soldiers enjoyable .

“It is too quick . ”

“I don’t want this taste to end too early . ”

“Let’s clean this up quickly and go somewhere else . ”

Geomchi and the students had continued working on their class quest .

The Weapons Mastery quest still wasn’t over .  They could choose to become a truth seeker or martial arts teacher .   Property of Rainbow Turtle Translations .

A martial arts teacher had an unmatched ability to teach their disciples .  Teachers could transfer their skills to NPCs or users .

On the other hand, a truth seeker didn’t teach anyone .  They also couldn’t get honour . A human body could become strong so they used martial arts to cultivate their strength in nature and remove any fear of death .  kfadifoaheiogkndlncaklndafikljagopdnl;vkvadipfkjadopdandfoaf

And a merchant user of the Haven Empire surrendered .

“If you spare me then you absolutely won’t regret it . ”

“…… . ”

It was rumoured that merchants became more talkative when surrendering!

“I have a total of 4,298 gold bullions so I will give if all to you and leave the north if you spare me . ”

“…… . ”  Read at rainbowturtletranslation . com

Even a non-combatant merchant user would find their lives precious .  If they lost their lives then their trading and accounting skills would fall .  A high level would receive really big damage so they didn’t want to die in a place like this .

Geomchi-101 examined the merchant in silence .

“In fact, I have 3 more gold bullions in the business fund . I will give everything . ”

“…… . ”

“Whatever you want to trade… . ”

“…… . ”

“I really have no more . ” kahfaiodafioakgaipgkdsnjbfsojugkdnaojkdanfodajnda

Seokeok!

“…… . ”

The merchant was executed by Geomchi-101 .

He was able to loot an additional 5 gold bullion from the merchant .  People always prayed that merchants would drop expensive items but such cases were rare .  The only items attached to merchants were ones they wouldn’t mind losing in death .

Geomchi said towards his students .

“I’ll tell you this .   There better not be anyone here willing to accept wealth in exchange for those cowards lives . You will forever carry a shameful face . ”

“Of course we can’t do that, Teacher-nim!”

“We just need to kill everything . ”

“Truly wise . ”

“This is justice . It is a perfect morality, Teacher-nim . ”

The policy of the Kill Without Asking Porridge unit was determined .  No soldiers of the Haven Empire were left behind as the slaves tied with rope shed tears .

“The ones who harassed us finally died . ”

“Even so, we can’t go back home . We can only live by following a new owner . ”

“Our kingdom has already disappeared . We will live according to the will of the rulers . ”

It wasn’t their occupation but they were knighted .  Knights of the Arpen Kingdom could lead soldiers, carry out wars, conquer and absorb enemy territory and even dispose of prisoners of war .  Including Geomchi-3, all members of the Kill Without Asking Porridge unit were knights of the Arpen Kingdom .  sdjahfaiofheanfjkdbfjakmncsfajfkbsaofjkdnmzfaoksnlfdfdfdsadsdddddddd

Geomchi-3 nodded and said .

“Just take care of your own lives .

“Eat if you are hungry and sleep if you are sleepy . Take care of the money you earned . It is hard on the body of the prisoners of war… . ”

“Come! We are heading to the next place . ”

“Thank you very much . We were brought here without any consideration so thank you very much . We will become residents of the Arpen Kingdom and be loyal to His Majesty the King and all the knights . ”

Geomchi-3 climbed onto his bull .   Property of Rainbow Turtle Translations

“Sahyung, there are 5 villages in the area so today will be very busy . ”

“Teacher-nim doesn’t like being idle . Go quickly!”

Geomchi-3 and the students rode towards another settlement of the Haven Empire .

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

The leaders of the Hermes Guild in the northern occupied territories had serious concerns about the actions of the Kill Without Asking Porridge unit .

“We can’t afford to leave those fellows alone . It isn’t on a large scale yet but it will be difficult once more join them . ”

“The guild leaders should quickly quell this . But the leaders in the Haven Empire will just consider them a funny story . ”

“But so far they’ve only caused minor damage . Will the core leaders really worry about this?”

“The terrain characteristics are very different from the Central Continent . ”

“Yes, I’ve also had that problem . ” bvdauefihaogjdfiasfndaojgklndafidphadiogkdangidaokda

In the Central Continent, there were many fortresses so they could stabilize the area .

The prestigious guilds were composed of users so once a defeat occurred, there were serious internal splits .  Who was good or bad and who was behind the defeat .  The complaints piled up until they exploded .

The Hermes Guild would target the important people at that time and the guild would dissolve .  The ability to resist would disappear and the Haven Empire could firmly conquer the territory .

In comparison, the north had large meadows where horses could run for hours .  Even after the conquest, the settlements weren’t cities so they were difficult to keep .

In other words, the resistance army could move around on horses, other users would actively join and security would worsen .  The occupied territory needed to be secured so they felt the need to respond to it strongly .

“We will dig pitfalls in the settlements . ”

“That is insufficient . We need to annihilate their mobility with one strike . Their numbers are small but it will be difficult . ”

“Should we direct the knights from the 5th army division to the occupied territories? The remainder of the army will continue marching towards the Earth Palace . They can return quickly and aid in the battle at the Earth Palace . ”

“Good . I was getting bored . ”  Property of Rainbow Turtle Translations .

The commander in change of the 5th knights division was Banrommel .  He was determined to destroy the Kill Without Asking Porridge unit .
