About 3 months after winning the martial arts tournament.

Choi Hyun-woo formed a new party with the support of the Count, and was literally enjoying a period of success.

This is the knight, Baselard Lansmith, who is the leader of the Arang Knights of the Baekjak territory and the runner-up in the martial arts tournament.

Kukri Ransmith, the older sister of Baselard and the leader of the Count’s Magic Knights.

And the Countess Rosemary Elaine Goldbaul, a brilliant alchemist and master of the whip.

Compared to the previous warrior party, these three people were far behind in terms of level and equipment…

Hyunwoo had the knowledge and experience he had gathered while leveling up with Lee Shin.

He took the new party members to efficient experience points and leveled them up through hunting with tricks, and they soon grew to around level 40.

It goes without saying that the party members’ gazes at Hyunwoo with even greater respect and admiration due to this storm level-up.

In addition, with the funds provided by the Count, they were able to purchase epic-level equipment, and the new warrior party acquired power comparable to that of an average A-rank clan.

Contrary to what Hyena and Julia had feared, the Count did not interfere with Hyunwoo’s activities or force him to fulfill his duties as a knight.

He simply asked Hyunwoo to take good care of his daughter and gave him his full support and encouragement, and the environment was exactly what Hyunwoo had dreamed of.

In addition, there are party members who have absolute trust in Hyunwoo, respect him as a leader, and follow his will.

Perhaps it’s because he was originally in the military.

Baselard and Kukri maintained a soldierly attitude, minimizing their self-assertion and faithfully following Hyunwoo’s instructions.

Rosemary, like a noble lady, always took a step back and never took the initiative to express her opinion.

In a sense, it could be said that for the first time since coming to this world, Hyunwoo had formed a party that was perfectly to his taste.

Like destroying dungeons in the vicinity of Baekjakryeong, subduing bandits, and slaughtering monsters.

One day, while I was spending each day feeling fulfilled and building up my achievements.

A letter arrived from the Count.

To summarize, without all the flowery greetings and miscellaneous adjectives:

In the eastern part of the territory, there was some rather violent friction with the dwarven clan of Mount Hammau.

They tried to find a solution through dialogue and money, but no answer was found, and eventually a military conflict broke out.

If the battle is prolonged, significant damage is likely to occur.

Couldn’t a warrior with overwhelming skill and fame lend me some strength?

The content corresponded to this.

“Write…..”

To be honest.

Hyunwoo had no desire whatsoever to get involved in something as troublesome as war.

Even when traveling with Isin, I cancelled all the military-related requests he suggested.

That’s because I didn’t want to worry about small things like operations, inter-unit communication, and supplies.

but….

It is true that I have already received a lot of money and support from the Count, and if I want to maintain my current lifestyle, I need to maintain a good relationship with Rosemary as her fiancé.

After much thought, Hyunwoo called the party members together and explained the situation.

Of course, unlike the previous party members, there was no need for coordination of opinions, and the new warrior party unanimously decided to depart for Mount Hammawul.

— Rattling, rattling…. thump, thump…..

“Eung…. Ugh…! Whoa, haa…. haa….. Aeueueueu….!”

Inside a carriage speeding away.

He roughly stroked Kukri’s breasts and thighs while holding her in his arms.

Hyunwoo asked a question to Rosemary, who was sitting across from him.

“So….the Baek Eun Moru tribe of Mt. Hammawul?”

“Yes, sir.”

Rosemary answers in a somewhat quiet tone.

Even though her fiancé is flirting with another woman right in front of her, her expression doesn’t show even a hint of wavering.

A crucial difference from the previous warrior party.

No matter how debaucherous and extravagant Hyunwoo’s life was.

Rosemary, far from being jealous or interfering with him, tolerated his behavior, saying, “Heroes are naturally lustful,” and did not spare her support, such as calling in the hostesses he wanted, arranging drinking parties, and supplying him with good alcohol and drugs.

Of course, Rosemary herself is also by Hyunwoo’s side as a sex partner, ready to offer her body whenever he wants.

“Our Baekjakryeong and the Baekunmoru tribe have long been in an inseparable relationship. Mount Hammau is a treasure mountain with many rare metal veins, and many dwarf tribes have been eyeing it since long ago. The first Count supported the Baekunmoru tribe in both material and spiritual ways so that they could settle there, and formed a relationship of spiritual brotherhood with them. Based on this achievement, he was awarded the title of Count by the kingdom.”

“Hmm…..”

“Since then, our Baekjakyeong has maintained good relations with the Baekunmoru tribe, exporting the rare metal equipment they produce to other regions and supplying them with food and daily necessities, continuing a symbiotic relationship. However…. A few years ago, friction began to arise when a writer named Tatrouga took the position of chieftain.”

“Ah, ah…. Yeah…. Whoaaaa…. Ah… Yo, Warrior…. There….. Yeah….!!”

“Oh, sorry, sorry.”

Maybe I was using too much force with my fingers when poking that sensitive spot.

After whispering an apology to Kukri, who was trembling with pained groans, the warrior motioned for him to continue talking.

“Yes. Tatroga… As soon as that greedy author took the chieftain’s seat, he raised the price of rare metal items by nearly 50% and even started trading with merchants from other territories, not just ours. My father, who did not want to cause friction with the Baek Eun Moru tribe, tried to resolve the issue with friendly words… But it was meaningless against that unruly author. ”

“………”

“And not long ago, an incident occurred where a merchant belonging to the Count’s family who visited Mount Hammau to sell food was slaughtered by them. My father was furious and protested to them, but the dwarves of the Baek Eun Moru tribe simply kept their mouths shut. Judging that he could no longer ignore this, my father dispatched troops to resolve the situation through military means.”

“………..”

“However, due to the overwhelmingly advantageous terrain and the strong fighting power unique to the dwarf race, the situation is being prolonged, and I suspect that they need your assistance as a hidden card to resolve this situation.”

“I see…..”

Well, it seems like things are complicatedly intertwined.

After realizing that all he had to do was go and destroy a few of the dwarf cans, Hyunwoo roughly cleared away the remaining information in his head.

Then he lifted the kukri up onto his thighs.

“Haa, haak…. Ugh….. Eung…. You’re a warrior…. Hooaaah…..!!

In the violently shaking carriage, I watched the two people shuffling their bodies like animals.

Rosemary simply shook her head quietly, smiling softly.

A few days later.

The carriage carrying the new warrior party arrived at Mount Hammau.

The haggard appearance of soldiers sitting together, and the wounded ward where painful cries burst out.

Unsanitary garbage and waste piled up everywhere.

Of course, this is a sight that can be seen anywhere where a war is taking place, and it can also be seen as evidence that the dwarves’ resistance is quite desperate…

Hyunwoo walked across the barracks with a rough gait, feeling only discomfort.

— Flutter….

As they stepped inside the commander’s barracks, a middle-aged man greeted Hyunwoo and his group.

“Welcome, warrior. Thank you for your hard work. I am Lieutenant General Gunther, in charge of the suppression force.”

“Nice to meet you. I am warrior Choi Hyun-woo.”

After shaking hands briefly with Gunther.

Hyunwoo asked for an explanation of the situation, and Gunther instructed his staff to bring in relevant materials, then unfolded the situation board himself and began the briefing.

“–The current battle is taking place at the connection point between Area C and Area F…. That is, near the passage leading from the dwarves’ underground living quarters to the mines. They are taking advantage of the narrow passage and setting up defensive facilities to block our advance. ”

“………”

“Like most dwarven mines, Mount Hammawul has a complex network of tunnels. We’ve tried entering through these several times, but since the enemy is much more familiar with the terrain, we haven’t been able to achieve any results yet. Also, it seems that the method of blocking the supply route hasn’t been effective yet, so there must be some kind of supply route that we don’t know about…”

— Ugh…

Around that time.

Hyunwoo slowly raised his hand.

“Ah, yes. Sir, do you have any questions…?”

“No, that’s not it.”

“……..?”

“Anyway, I am neither a soldier nor a strategist, so even if you explain all of that to me, I won’t be able to understand it properly. If you could explain to me in an easy and concise manner what I should do, I would be grateful.”

“Umm…..”

Gunther let out a soft chuckle.

If you were a single soldier, that would be fine, but if you think about the position of a warrior who can run wild on the front lines, you need to at least understand and overcome the current situation on the front lines.

but….

Looking at the warrior’s indifferent expression, it seemed like he wouldn’t understand even if I explained it in more detail.

And since he was joined by former Knight Commander Baselard and Kukri, he thought that they would be able to cover things up to some extent, so Gunther organized the story in a more concise direction.

“The reason the front lines are currently stuck is because of their magic weapon–the golem called Gaigantos.”

“GaiGanthos?”

“Yes. It was originally developed for excavation, but the dwarves modified it for combat use in this war. It is so strong that it can’t even be hit by a single attack, and its attack power is so great that it’s impossible for ordinary soldiers to engage it.”

“Hmm…..”

“You, warrior, destroy Gaigantos and open the way for the troops to enter the dwarf quarters. We will handle the rest.”

“Okay, well, if it’s something like that… leave it to me.”

Gunther went on to give some additional explanations and cautions, but Hyunwoo just turned a deaf ear to them.

And then, making an excuse that he was tired for the day, he returned to his private barracks to rest.

After resting for about half a day.

The new warrior party prepared and went to the front line.

The front line where humans and dwarves stand in a tense standoff.

The magic weapon– Gaigantos was dominating the battlefield with its immense pressure.

Height is about 2 meters, body length is over 7 meters.

Its body is flat, perhaps to enable it to move inside narrow tunnels, and its appearance of crawling on the ground with its multiple legs is more reminiscent of a multi-legged arthropod such as a civet or scorpion than a golem.

“Geuuu…..”

Has it been detected that a new threat has emerged?

Gaigantos let out a soft cry, and Hyunwoo snorted before giving instructions to the party members and soldiers.

“I’ll deal with that guy one-on-one. Rosemary, Baselard, Kukri. You guys, keep an eye out for the dwarves that approach from the perimeter. Soldiers, stay back as much as possible so as not to get caught up in the fight. ”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Please be careful…..”

Whispering in a voice full of concern.

Rosemary handed over a homemade buff potion, and Hyunwoo downed it in one shot before confidently approaching Gaigantos head-on.

— Thud, thud, thud, thud….

“That…. Whoa whoa whoa!!”

Immediately after Hyunwoo entered the attack range.

Gaigantos swung his forelegs at him, trying to strike him.

but….

— Booo….!!

To the eyes of a warrior over level 50, the attack was incredibly dull and sloppy.

After dodging two swings with just a slight bow of the head.

Hyunwoo dug into the bastard’s arms without hesitation.

— Tukaak…!!

“Okay….!!”

Gaigantos’ outer shell reinforced with rare metal plates.

Although it had a defensive power that could not even be scratched by any physical attack, Hyunwoo’s holy sword tore through it as if it were cutting a piece of paper.

Gaigantos let out a dull cry and continued to swing his arms, trying to keep Hyunwoo at arm’s length to keep him at bay…

In the face of Hyunwoo’s movements and fierce continuous attacks that were difficult to even capture with the eyes, the resistance was meaningless.

— Bang, pop…! Crunch…! Crunch, squeak…!!

‘Me too… I thought there was something to it since you were explaining it while holding the weight, but it turns out you called me in because you couldn’t even handle a single mob like this… You guys are really pathetic…’

— Booow…! Kookwang…! Booow….!!

‘I guess I can just take care of these trash mobs and go back. Tonight, should I have anal sex with Bazelard for the first time in a while…? Or maybe a 3P with Sister Rice Bowls…’

While thinking about various things, I swing my sword roughly.

Gaigantos’s head was shattered by the concentrated attack of the warriors, and he fell to the ground while letting out a strange cry.

“Gugiyaaah…..”

— Kwaaang…..!!

“Heh….”

Swing the sword leisurely to brush away any dirt from the blade, then place it back in its scabbard.

Hyunwoo tried to declare victory to the soldiers by striking a cool pose he had planned in advance.
