NOVEL WEB Chapter 95
Chapter 95
– Lol, seriously?
– Is he planning an attack here? But maybe it’s doable?
– Is he really charging in like that? Lol.
– Looks like the Heavenly Demon never backs down, lol.
The Orthodox Faction, apart from holding back the Unorthodox Faction, had exhausted much of their forces and seemed likely to exhaust even more.
If Sojun attacked, they could redirect some of their forces to defend. The Orthodox Faction wouldn’t want to see a knife to their throat.
So they waited as long as possible.
‘I wonder how bold their decision will be.’
Sojun glanced at the viewer count. Since today’s stream was longer than yesterday’s and some incident had occurred, interest seemed heightened.
『16,000 viewers』
The number of streamers playing “For Justice” was moderate. Though there were no professional streamers in the elite ranks, some rankers had thousands of viewers. The general pool ranged from 100,000 to 200,000 viewers.
‘If Ark gets involved, it could boost the viewership to 300,000.’
Regardless, he had gathered quite a few viewers here.
Before Sojun started playing “For Justice”, his regular viewership was about 2,300.
‘It’s amazing to think about how much it’s grown.’
The Battlefield attracted numerous new viewers. Who were these newcomers?
– Where is the ‘mountain region’ the streamer is talking about? It’s not marked on the map.
– Streamer-nim, on your right!
– Please, live by browsing the internet instead of reality!
-Lol.
‘Not everyone is like that.’
Nonetheless, there were many heavy users. If proof was needed, one could just stop the stream. If 30 pages on No Justice were filled with complaints about why he suddenly quit, wouldn’t that be evidence enough?
Of course, this was based on the reactions he observed, not exact figures.
So, he decided to roll the dice once more.
“Everyone’s been waiting, right? I’ll start the game now. Let’s do this together.”
It’s known that in battlefields, streamers often accompanied viewers. He was curious about his own case and how many the Orthodox Faction would consider.
– Oh, seriously, I’ve been waiting!
– I kind of guessed it would be something like this, lol.
– This is so much fun, lol.
– Don’t come, you guys…
– Manager! Push back the Orthodox!

Nameless and This Isn’t the Martial World were among the Unorthodox members who finished early and were waiting.
“How do you think it will go?”
“I don’t know. What about you?”
“Well, it’s not strange if the Demonic Cult betrays us tomorrow.”
They watched the Demonic Cult’s actions today and concluded that, for today at least, they could trust their words.
‘Tomorrow is another story.’
The outcome was evident in the two regions they were fighting in now.
“Do you think the real purpose of the Demonic Cult is what they told us?”
Nameless turned to This Isn’t the Martial World.
This Isn’t the Martial World.
With excellent skills and an extreme concept, they were one of the two most disliked Unorthodox users alongside Tang So. Now that Tang So was gone, were they the top?
Quite impressive.
“I don’t know.”
“Right. I was wrong to ask you, hyung.”
“However, there is one thing I know for sure.”
“What is it?”
“The Heavenly Demon is a man who understands martial prowess and justice.”
“Oh, okay…”
Nameless didn’t get angry.
How many times had he encountered such people?
He thought just the experience of dealing with them warranted a title like ‘Grandmaster’ from MubiSoft.
“Hmm. They’re really doing nothing.”
He hadn’t ruled out the possibility that the Demonic Cult had bribed them to make up for taking too much.
A few minutes ago, the Demonic Cult could have betrayed them.
Of course, they were almost certain it wasn’t the case, since Sojun had attacked the Orthodox Faction again.
“Anyway, it seems like Gansu is definitely taken by them.”
While Shanxi was surrounded by the Orthodox Faction, Gansu was encircled by the Demonic Cult.
“They aren’t attacking us, and Sojun is attacking Shanxi.”
Did they really bear a grudge against the Orthodox Faction?
“It’s good that things are going in our favor.”
Despite occupying many regions, they were being supported instead of countered.
The objective of all factions in “For Justice” was to be first. There was no other goal.
Though criticized for lack of chivalry, upon reflection, the game was quite romantic.
It didn’t mean there were no betrayals.
It signified that everyone tried their best toward the goal of having their faction be number one.
That’s why the current actions of the Demonic Cult were so suspicious.
“…”
He wasn’t entirely clueless.
Initially, it seemed like ThirdElder was almost pleading with them to notice.
“Sigh. It wouldn’t be bad if tomorrow just fizzled out this way.”
It seemed Sojun and his viewers had attacked right in front of the base, forcing the Orthodox Faction to stretch their defenses.
They sacrificed more than 15 people to counter it.
“Yes, that’s probably a priority.”
From the Orthodox Faction’s perspective, they needed to buy time.
That streamer was probably urging them to focus on the Orthodox Faction without overthinking.
‘Good.’
If they successfully occupied Shanxi, they might follow their advice.
It might even be more beneficial.
They had said before.
“You won’t win.”
Nameless murmured as he turned his head again.
He still had questions left unanswered.
“Hyung, why did you fail to cancel the matchup earlier?”
“Shut up.”
* * *
Past 10 PM, the Battlefield closed.
Initially taken aback by the unexpected turn of events, the people gradually started to enjoy it.
Except for the Orthodox Faction.
『It’s a disaster』
==
Will the Orthodox Faction become the second to be removed from the Battlefield after the Demonic Cult if the base falls?
Lol.
.
.
==
A post filled to the brim with a slew of characters received about 600 recommendations.
Over 100 dislikes from the Orthodox Faction were a freebie.
『The real reason the Orthodox Faction is in danger tomorrow!』
==
The effort by the trapped Organization in Shanxi must be stopped at all costs.
But then the Unorthodox Faction closes in again?
Can you defend against two factions?
==
-No, it’s not possible
└Are you serious? Lol
└And you?
-No worries, lol
└That’s probably why they handed two over to the Unorthodox, right?
└Even if that’s true, it doesn’t matter. They just need to hold off the Demonic Cult, who’s charging in with a vendetta.
『Please, let’s step up! It’s too disgraceful to be expelled from the Battlefield.』
-The Demonic Cult and Unorthodox will milk this forever.
└I love broth. You’re all dead, lol.
└This will keep being mentioned until the server shuts down, lol, because I’m going to keep bringing it up, lol.
└From the Demonic Cult?
└Yes, why?
└It’s so annoying how you’re acting all bold even though you were once expelled.
└Sorry, but until the Heavenly Demon arrived, it wasn’t truly the Demonic Cult, lol.
“I should join the Demonic Cult too!”
JustOneCoin muttered before correcting himself in surprise.
“No, I still love being a Beggar.”
JustOneCoin.
He was a user who loved beggars to his core.
“No, not a beggar, the Beggar Sect.”
Having joined the Beggar Sect because of the cool information-dealing concept, JustOneCoin shook his head, momentarily confused by the label others had given him.
“Why are you muttering nonsense?”
NamgungClanStoreOwner approached and asked.
His friend seemed insane.
Had he gone crazy?
“Here’s nonsense.”
JustOneCoin shared a link.
『Why did the Orthodox Faction gamble their lives in Shanxi? Are they afraid of the Demonic Cult’s growth?』
==
The only ones who could attack Shanxi were the Heavenly Demon, a few rankers, and some users trapped in Shanxi. Does it make sense to deploy 23 rankers for that? Should’ve dealt with the Unorthodox instead. Are you that scared of the Demonic Cult’s growth?
==
-The Orthodox must be unjustly targeting the streamer, lol.
└That streamer is just a user here, not the boss of the Travel channel, Demonic Cult fanatics.
└Why is the Orthodox so on edge today???? It’s just a game, lol.
└Exactly, why get so angry over a game, lol.
└Ahh!
NamgungClanStoreOwner laughed while reading the post from the shared link, then suddenly stopped and adopted a serious announcer-like tone.
“Is the Orthodox Faction afraid of the Demonic Cult’s growth?”
“… You also agreed that it was important to defend Shanxi even if it meant overinvesting.”
“That’s true.”
Nobody knew exactly how many viewers were following the streamer.
Because of JustOneCoin’s firm belief that there’d be many, they took rankers battling the Unorthodox and assigned them to that game.
“See, we stopped them just fine. You even called it Operation: Stop the Heavenly Demon.”
Stopping the Heavenly Demon.
They found it amusing that their attempt to stop him had unexpectedly shaped the game’s direction.
Intuition.
It’s really essential for decision-making.
“Still unsure.”
The situation kept changing, and there were ways to prevent the Unorthodox from allying with the Demonic Cult.
“I’m leaving. No point in pondering this further.”
NamgungClanStoreOwner logged out of virtual reality.
“True.”
JustOneCoin agreed.
Stepping outside, he started browsing communities on his phone.
Addicted.
* * *
『Fought with the Heavenly Demon today and felt happy.』
『If only I can contribute a little…』
『Today’s Orthodox Faction meltdown moment.jpg』
『It’s surprising that there really are people who follow the streamer around.』
『But does anyone actually believe in ThirdElder’s donations? They’re just trying to promote a single streamer.』
One title caught his eye, strongly attracting his attention.
JustOneCoin couldn’t resist.
『But does anyone actually believe in ThirdElder’s donations? They’re just trying to promote a single streamer.』
==
Even MubiSoft made martial arts and Grandmaster titles just to promote that streamer.
The Demonic Cult folks are also promoting a streamer by backing them.
Ark’s collaborations and rankers losing were all to highlight streamer Sojun.
Why did the Orthodox suffer so much?
The Orthodox were just playing along to promote the streamer. You really don’t see it?
Why did the Unorthodox cooperate with the Demonic Cult?
The same reason.
Yeah.
The streamer is a deity, and the Demonic Cult is invincible.
==
-Lmao
-The last line, lol
-Bringing this up again and flipping it, lol.
-The whole world is just with the streamer, lol.
It was a satire.
“Haha.”
Under normal circumstances, he would have laughed it off. But facing a crisis, he couldn’t laugh freely.
After hesitating a bit, unsure if to change the mood or to steel himself, JustOneCoin logged onto his alternate account and wrote something.
『Still, feels like the Orthodox will show something!』
They just had to get through today.
They understood the enemy’s objectives and plans by the end of today’s Battlefield.
He smirked.
“Facing two factions. Yeah, right.”
The real problem would be the narrowed choices if they had a knife at their throat tomorrow.
But if they defended successfully today, they could find a way.
“Please!”
Yet, against his hopes, the very next day, the gate of the Orthodox Faction’s main base opened for the first time in Battlefield history.
『Absolute chaos!』
『We are screwed!』
『This is the power of ordinary users!!!』
『Raise your hand if you’re part of the most incompetent Orthodox leadership in history that failed to defend three territories.』
-Why?
└They need a good spanking (OP)
└Lol
