Matan’s Shooter - Chapter 148
Chapter 148
The guild war was declared. About 12 hours later in real-time.
In other words, after three days of Middle Earth time, the war between Hwahong and Byeolcho Alliance would start.
“Kay. Wasn’t there someone you called hyung last time?”
“Who? Ah, Leeha-hyung?”
“Yes. Ha Leeha-nim. Can you make him join our guild?”
“Eh? Leeha-hyung?”
Hyein’s suggestion was unexpected.
A lot of investors came, but Byeolcho was a fairly solid guild. It was because the level limit was pretty high.
Did he suggest that Leeha could join even when he hasn’t reached level 100 yet?
‘Well, his fight with Rising Sun made a great impact.’
Kijeong couldn’t keep his mouth shut while he watched the video.
At least he’s not the kind and gentle cousin type. Didn’t he look like Hwapo’s envoy?
“If he joins us, I think he can help us a lot in our war. In fact, I want to talk to him more than the rankers.”
“Amazing……. I-isn’t it scarier when Hyein-hyung says it like that?”
“Huh, is that so?”
Hyein looked at Kijeong with a smile on his eyes that curved like a moon.
It was a proposal that Kijeong would not lose on. Also, Kijeong wanted to be in the same guild as Leeha.
But Leeha always refused.
“Cough, I actually suggested it to him before. I told him that if I recommend him, he might be able to join the guild.”
“O-okay? So? What did he say?”
“He said he didn’t want to. Well, that was when he was low-level and had no accomplishments…. Maybe it was because Leeha-hyung was ashamed of his character at that time.”
“Uh. What do you think of this time?”
Kijeong held his chin and glanced at Hyein and Sasuke.
Sasuke opened his mouth.
“We need his strength, Kay. Whether it’s an all-out battle or guerilla tactics, with his attack power, our range of operation would expand. Or we can use a sneak attack and kill Ram Hwayeon.”
A collaboration between the Kuroninja Sasuke and Musketeer Ha Leeha. If the two people who were accustomed to hiding and infiltration got dispatched as special forces, they should be able to subdue the heads. If that happened, they could end the war by raiding Hwahong, which would have lost its command system.
Sasuke’s suggestion was reasonable at first glance.
“If even Sasuke-hyung says that……. Well, it is what it is. I’ll talk to him first.”
“Sure. Please!”
“You must get Ha Leeha-nim, Kay! Understand?”
“P-Please don’t put pressure on me. What’s wrong with you today?. Haha. Alright. Leeha-hyung is logged out right now, so I will log out and contact him.”
Kijeong was flustered by Hyeing and Sasuke approaching suddenly, so he quickly backed away.
He was usually friendly, but his behavior today was very strange.
“Okay. We don’t have much time left, but I’m excited! Please take good care of us in the guild war!”
“Yes, I will follow hyung-nim’s orders. Haha, fighting.”
Kijeong laughed, said his goodbye, and logged out. As the shining armor of the tanker disappeared, the light in the room dimmed.
“……Will this be enough, master.”
“How could a bastard like Ha Leeha beat Rising Sun? All the explosions that flashed in the video must have been Hwayeon’s work. In other words, Kay and his bastard of an older brother are assholes.’
Hyein’s eyes lit up.
“He’s very likely a mole.”
“What would you do if he brought Ha Leeha?”
“If he brings him, then we have to figure out how to use him. You can think about it slowly.”
Hyein stood up and looked at the map where the Byeolcho Alliance’s safe house was located and predicted the maneuver routes.
“Then, if he can’t bring him-.”
“I hate enemies, but I hate traitors more. Well, it’s a relief in a sense. Having a traitor means that even if we lose in this war, we would have someone to blame, right? Right?”
Hyein smiled brightly. A pure smile that curved like a half moon? It’s not like that.
Seeing his devilish smile, Sasuke bowed his head.
The mouse had already dug a hole to escape to.

“I ate well.”
After eating dinner with his mother, Leeha headed back to the computer.
After the Brass Golem’s shield, Leeha did not have any additional income, but since the income was a lot, he would not have any burden in the future.
His mother’s expression was getting brighter every day, so for Leeha, Middle Earth was a blessing and he was grateful for it.
“Hmm. It’s a little burdensome to go troll hunting right away. Are there any hunting grounds where I could hunt that are below level 100?”
He started looking for hunting grounds.
Trolls were usually level 130 or higher ‘party’ hunting grounds. It’s burdensome for Leeha to challenge it alone with his level right away. He didn’t even have a proper weapon.
While he was level 90, it was burdensome to go at a level 110 hunting ground, but he was confident that he could overcome it with his control and skills.
However, it was difficult to fill the gap between levels 110 and 130.
“Huh?”
Leeha connected to the internet to search for information and came across unexpected news.
Until this morning, there were still talks about Rising Sun and Leeha.
‘It’s all gone. Besides, this-!’
[Title: 12 hours until the guild war begins, who will win?]
[Title: Hwahong vs Byeolcho power analysis.txt]
[Title: What is commercial monopoly Is it money]
[Title: Crazy bitches talk about Hwahong and Byeolcho all day long.]
Most posts included the words Hwahong and Byeolcho.
Leeha also knew it. The guild where Ram Hwayeon and Ram Hwajeong belonged to and the guild where Kijeong belonged!
‘War? It ended with a guild war…? If it starts tomorrow, then it means that the guild war declaration has already been done!!’
Talk about seeing it through the end! It wasn’t a local war like the Tiwi Canyon Battle. It was a situation where both the guilds put everything on the line.
The guild war between Leeha and Rising Sun just ended, but another war was already heating up the internet.
[Title: What is commercial monopoly Is it money]
Is the guild that wins going to be the lord of Dale Castle?
-You would not be the lord of the castle, but you would be entrusted with the authority of the lord. It is virtually a castle town. It is a monopoly in commercial activities, allowing one to control the type and amount of goods distributed.
-Wow. So can you increase the price of potions by 10 times?
-oo It can be said that you would receive all the financial authority for Dale Castle But, you can’t be reckless. It’s also difficult to pay fees and taxes to the lord and king
… Anyway, if you make losses, you would get kicked out.
-Doesn’t that mean the guy who raised the price of potion by 10 times doesn’t have any brain? Would people buy it like that? Think about it.
-L_ If it’s Date Castle, I have nothing to say. It is the key point of the northwestern border. It is connected to the dungeon, and it’s also close to the border of the Shazrasian Federation, so there are a lot of people.
That’s right. Dale Castle manages 3 dungeons. It has the most number of dungeons in the Fibiel Kingdom. It might have more people than most cities? It’s just a castle, but its financial scale is larger than a city.
A place developed as a city and a place developed as a castle have different uses. From the moment he first heard of it from Kijeong, Leeha was suspicious. He thought that it would be better to invest in a city with more people than most.
However, it was chosen by Hyein and Ram Hwayeon, the oldest daughter of Hong Kong’s RamLong Group. Dale Castle was no ordinary castle.
One could earn by adjusting the fees for using the facilities inside the castle, such as repairing equipment or replenishing potions, but the most important part was, it was the place that connects to all dungeons that can be entered at level 60, level 130, and level 170 or higher.
‘Controlling the entrance and exit of the dungeon…
And others might not know, but Leeha knew. The information for each country is confirmed by the Royal Archives.
The Shazrasian Federation in the northwest was barren land.
Many exchanges between the Fibiel Kingdom and the Shazrasian Federation pass through Dale Castle.
‘Even if they only receive a small toll tax, they will get substantial profits.’
Both guild masters had the same plan to pick and eat the best land, rather than aiming for another city with high income and high taxes to pay.
“While I was fighting with Rising Sun, these people were already…”
It was a huge event.
No one was able to disband Rising Sun. However, it was worlds apart from this. It literally meant to have some control and sovereignty in Middle Earth.
‘I still have a long way to go. I need to connect quickly-.’
Riiing.
In the midst of his burning enthusiasm, his phone rang. The caller was Kijeong.
“Ah, Kijeong. How’s the guild war.”
-Hmm? Did hyung see it too? I have something to talk to you about, can you connect now?
“Okay. I have work to do, so I will log in. I will go to the capital.”
-Okay. Come quickly, hyung!
After hanging up the short call, Leeha connected to Middle Earth.
After the Rising Sun incident, Kijeong praised Leeha so as to support him. Was there anything he wanted to say? Is it related to the guild war?
‘I guess that must be it.’
Leeha was able to guess to some extent.
“Hyung!”
“Oh? Did you change your equipment?”
“There’s a war, so I have to be prepared. I couldn’t change my weapon because I don’t have any money, so I got an armor set instead.”
It looked much stronger than his previous armor.
Leeha suddenly thought of something. What would happen if he fired his weapon, the needle gun pistol, at Kijeong?
‘I don’t even know if it would scratch it .’
Come to think of it, Kijeong was proud of something even before Leeha fought Rising Sun.
‘He exceeded level 200. Is his item also level 200 or higher?’
The guy who got killed by Agromni Igor and went down by a level to 197 has already surpassed 200. It should be higher now.
“Hyung, did you sell your weapon?”
“Cough, it happened somehow, I am very sad right now.”
“Haha, the one who disbanded the Rising Sun has no money. It’s not like you’re filming a comedy.”
“That’s true.”
“Has the reward distribution finished?”
“No, it should be today in Middle Earth time… I think it’s almost over?”
Middle Earth has long nighttime. It should have been considered before the end. After talking about this and that, Kijeong brought up the main topic to Leeha.
“Hyung.”
“Huh?”
“Would you like to join our guild?”
“Huh? Byeolcho? Me?”
“Keup, I told you not to get involved in a guild war. It’s like I’m pulling you in……. Hyein, Sasuke, and everyone in the guild said they wanted hyung. They acknowledged you after you disbanded Rising Sun.”
“He, hehe, hehehe. Is that so?”
Leeha, who remembered the face of Byeolcho’s Guild Master, could not contain his laughter.
Thinking, ‘Now you’re looking at me, you punk!’ Was it childish? He would have helped without batting an eye.
‘I must choose.
But…. the enemy is Ram Hwayeon.
I have a relationship with Byeolcho to some extent, but I hunted in the beginner village with Ram Hwayeon, and she talked to me when I saved her life, but that was before.’
What do they think now? Do Ram Hwajeong and Ram Hwayeon remember Leeha?
In addition, the person who tried to bring Leeha into her guild was Ram Hwayeon. In a way, she was the one who tried to ‘join hands’ with Leeha.
He didn’t like it.
Fighting with the women he knew even though they did not have much of a relationship.
“Well. Hmm. Help me hyung. If you get to the 1st group and defeat Hwahong, Hyein will take good care of you. He won’t treat you badly.”
“I guess so. Besides, Kijeong will be there as well, so I won’t get neglected, but…”
“You still don’t like it? This time is different from before! The guild master wants hyung! He fully acknowledges your skill. You can come proudly!”
“It’s not that I can’t go because I’m proud- ahh, but how should I say this?.”
“Then what- hmm?”
“Huh? Why?”
While Leeha was confused about how to explain the situation, Kijeong suddenly took a vigilant stance.
“Who is it!!”
“K-Kijeong!”
Without letting Leeha talk, Kijeong’s body exploded and bounced off.
At the corner alley in Aelstock. Sssk-!
A black shadow jumped out of it.
