Zaneos and Bronson were standing on guard right on the rooftop of the Legion Guild's smart base. That was the best spot because they could see the surroundings very clearly. Zaneos sat on the bench on the rooftop with his eyes closed. Meanwhile, Bronson was walking around at the edge of the rooftop. The Executioner did not have the same patience as Zaneos, who could sit there without moving for fifteen minutes.

"Hah, this is boring. I can't bear it," Bronson complained. He then glanced at the Demon Swordsman, "Is it okay if I leave you here alone, Zaneos? I will look for the enemy rather than waiting for them to come."

"You can leave, but I will tell Master that you leave the smart base because you are boring," Zaneos opened his eyes and replied.

"How can you snitch to Master? How old are you?" Bronson came over and sat next to Zaneos. "What about sparring against me, Zaneos? Let's find out who's stronger between us."

"Remember our task, Bronson. Our task is not to kill the enemy but protect the base while Master is away," Zaneos did not give the Undead a definite answer. "If we fight here, we will destroy the smart base from the impact of our battle. If you want to be responsible for that, then I don't mind fighting you."

"Forget about it. If you snitch to Master, it's me who proposes the sparring battle; Master will never call me out again. I don't want to be stuck at the Spirit Space forever," Bronson shook his head and threw the idea of fighting Zaneos. He and Zaneos were both Grade SS Spirit, so he wanted to know who was stronger between them.

"Also, the sparring fight can't determine who is stronger between us. If we want to know who's stronger between us, then we have to fight to the death, using everything we have to win. I don't think I will use everything in the sparring fight. You are just proposing something meaningless," Zaneos closed his eyes again after that.

"That's true," Bronson nodded his head. "Guess I will sleep too,"

Bronson just closed his eyes, but Zaneos opened his eyes and stood up from the bench. He looked toward the northeast side direction, the opposite direction where his Master was right now. "We have guests, Bronson. Didn't you just complain you are bored? It's time to work now."

Bronson opened his eyes and instantly appeared next to Zaneos. He looked toward the north and found a large group of people coming toward them. "If I recall correctly, all the Legion Guild's main force was deployed to the west territory. There's no way those people are from the patrol team, right?" Zaneos recalled Tang Shaoyang's conversation with In Youngsoo. In Youngsoo told his Master that the main force was in the west to fight against the two guilds' invasion, so this large group was an enemy.

"You are right, so let's not waste our time anymore. We have to intercept them before they can reach the smart base. It will be bad if these weaklings get hurt while we fight the enemy," Bronson did not wait for Zaneos's response as he pulled out his long reaver, holding them in each of his hands. He was ready to fight at any moment.

"I guess that's true. We can't fight them if we are too close to the civilians," Zaneos nodded and let out a sigh. "I was a demon who slaughtered countless people before, and I have to be sacrificed for the peace between human and demon. Yet, now, I am protecting the humans; fate is surely funny." The Void Sword muttered in a low voice as he found it was hilarious that he had to fight for humans now.

Then the two spirits jumped off from the rooftop, heading toward the incoming group.

"Hahaha…. I never thought we were infiltrating the Legion Guild's territory so easily," A man in his early forties laughed as he strolled on the road without obstruction. His name was Sim Ki Nam, The Black Knight Guild's guild leader. "It seems The Warlord Guild and the Shade Guild are doing their job well. We don't even encounter the famous patrol team of the Legion Guild."

"Hehe, I told you, Sir Ki Nam. We just have to play smart instead of using brute force," Oh Jae Wook, the Black Knight Guild's vice leader, let out a chuckle. If his Guild Leader is happy, then he would be happy as well. "We just need to meet with Sir Tae Bong and his secretary, Bak Dong Min. After that, the Legion Guild's level 2 smart base is ours."

"How long until we reach your guild's smart base, Man-Shik?" Sim Ki Nam turned his head and asked the man who followed him closely. Man-Shik was Council Member Tae Bong's people and was tasked to lead the Black Knight Guild to the smart base.

That was right; Council Member Tae Bong betrayed the Legion Guild. The former Seoul mayor realized that he only had a little power in the Legion Guild despite his position as the Council Member. The survivors idolized Park Nam Hoon and his friends, more than him, who was the former mayor. He was not satisfied with that and planned to change the ship, getting rid of the Legion Guild and using the Black Knight Guild to rebuild his country. Then he would be the President of the new country; that was his ambition.

Meanwhile, Sim Ki Nam also took the risk of betraying the World Government and the other three guilds. He was using the three guilds to weaken the Legion Guild's main force. He would take the level 2 smart base for himself and get rid of whoever won the battle. That way, The Black Knight Guild would become the sole guild in South Korea. He had the ambition to be the twelfth major faction on Earth.

"We should arrive at the smart base in five to ten minutes by walking, Sir," Man-Shik replied respectfully. He was just an errand boy, so he made sure not to get on the bad side of these people. Tae Bong promised an easy life for him and his family after the Black Knight Guild took over the Legion Guild. He did not have to fight the zombies and did not need to worry about food anymore.

"You heard them, Bronson? Don't kill the guy called Man-Shik. I think Master will be delighted if we present that Man-Shik alive."

Sim Ki Nam, Oh Jae Wook, Man-Shik, and the people behind them stopped their steps as two figures stood in the middle of the road, blocking them. Sim Ki Nam observed the two figures. The one on the left was a zombie with armor, and the one on the right was unknown. He could not see it clearly because of the straw hat. "Who are you!?" He subconsciously blurted out.

Bronson ignored Sim Ki Nam and asked Zaneos for the last time. "For the last confirmation, so I can kill all of them except for that Man-Shik guy, right?"

"What about another twenty people, including Man-Shik? We need a few of them alive so Master can question them. Leave those three in the front alive as well. They seem to be important people, so they should have more information than the others," Zaneos pointed at Kim Si Nam and Oh Jae Wook. "You can't kill them, but you can cut their limbs."

Haven was not a guild but a group comprised of thirteen people. While they were only thirteen people, no guild dared to offend them as those thirteen people were high-level players. It was unclear how many of them were Epic Ranks, but people guessed that at least eight of them were Epic Ranks. That was the main reason why the guilds did not dare to trouble or offend Haven.

"They have been helping us to save the survivors as well. So, they are not our enemies," Park Nam Hoon ended his explanation about The Haven after successfully stopping Lady Aleesa from shooting the mana arrows. He did not know what would happen, but he was pretty sure that The Haven would not remain unscathed if Lady Aleesa shot the arrows.

At this moment, the female in black clothes managed to reach the wall and meet with the group. A woman with long black wavy hair, around 1.8 meters tall, walked toward them. Her face was covered in black clothing as well, from the nose down to her neck, typical of an assassin outfit in the movie. She had two swords on her back waist, and her black eyes observed the group as she got closer.

"Long time no see, Shadow Queen—" Cha Hyuk waved his right hand at the woman with a big smile, but the Shadow Queen cut his words short, "My name is So Yeon Hee. You can call me Yeon." Of course, this was not her first time meeting with Park Nam Hoon and his friends. That introduction meant for the four foreign faces, Tang Shaoyang, and the three girls.

Park Nam Hoon was about to introduce Tang Shaoyang to Yeon, but he quickly realized it was not that easy to do that. Tang Shaoyang was an Emperor, so he had to treat him above everyone else. He could not just say, 'This is Tang Shaoyang, our Emperor.' He felt like it was inappropriate as he needed to be more formal around Tang Shaoyang.

"Good evening, Yeon," Yu Jin Sang took a step forward and smiled. He bowed his head toward Tang Shaoyang and continued, "This is Your Majesty Emperor of the Tang Empire. From today onward, the Legion Guild is part of the Tang Empire."

Yeon Hee looked toward Tang Shaoyang as she did not expect this kind of development. The Legion Guild that was known as the strongest guild in South Korea, would bow their heads to the other factions. From the way Park Nam Hoon and his friend acted around the man, it was very clear to her that this was not a joke or a prank.

After that, Yu Jin Sang turned back to Yeon Hee with a serious look on his face. "So, can you explain why you and your friend are staying with the Warlord Guild? Depending on your answer, you can be our enemy."
