Martial Arts Returnee's Game Broadcast-Chapter 410: The Return of the Cold Swordsman

1.

The leader of the wandering merchant group felt a sense of guilt.

The wandering merchant.

Many were fond of the cute goblin monster, but due to the urgency of the latter stages of the game, very few actually paid attention to the merchant until the end.

No one knew that the wandering merchant had disappeared and appeared as a destroyer.

That is, until they found out through the Silent Swordsman’s broadcast.

"Then in all the games I’ve played so far... every single time, the wandering merchant lost his sibling and turned into a monster...?"

His hands and feet trembled, and dizziness overtook him.

He felt a sudden chill and his breath caught in his throat.

"To think I’ve been acting like the leader of the wandering merchant group with this stupid head of mine... I’m a fool. A piece of trash. Irredeemable!"

The despair he felt wasn’t unique to him.

All those who claimed to be fans of the wandering merchant were also shocked.

The wandering merchant's biggest fan club member here, but I was the one who ignored him even after he turned into a monster and just ran to the next episode?Sorry, folksㅠㅠㅠHah... I’m hit with such a reality check right now...How can we call ourselves fans when the merchant is in this situation? Hah...I thought he would take the money he gathered and live happily anywhere, but he’s gone to the afterlife now...I’m 100kg of a pig and still shocked that I dropped my hotdog...The weight really hits, huh?I’m a 40kg skinny guy, can I have that hotdog?What is thisㅋㅋㅋㅋThe fan club is losing their mindsThe destroyer, Silent Swordsman may not destroy the fan club, but she sure destroyed their mental state

The demon-faced undead was at least more bearable.

Those who had been shouting for revenge for the undead's death had at least been acting proudly.

The wandering merchant was different.

Anyone who dealt with them in the game world would know the merchant.

After a certain level or number of turns, this NPC would disappear without a trace.

The cute little sounds the merchant made, digging through ashes and retrieving treasure, were only heard by the player’s 'ally'—who unknowingly died, got hurt, betrayed, and /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ turned into a monster, forgotten.

Every time the player repeated a cycle, that same despair repeated too.

It was enough to drive someone to madness.

[Hieek! I didn’t know the wandering merchant was this strong! He’s a superstar that the scaredy-cats of Dutta’s Super Cowards cannot handle!!]

[Eh~ are we going to expel him? He’s still weak unless he merges with his sibling, you know?]

[He’s not a coward anymore once they merge!!]

The reason he kept his sanity, despite everything, was simple.

In the Silent Swordsman’s adventure, the wandering merchant was saved.

For those who claimed to be fans of the wandering merchant, there was an obligation to see this adventure through to the end.

"Silent Swordsman. Please, show me. A future where the wandering merchant doesn’t end miserably like the demon-faced undead. A future where the wandering merchant survives happily!"

The 100,000 fans of the wandering merchant’s fan club folded their hands in prayer, wishing for a perfect strategy for the wandering merchant.

In their earnest prayers, the wandering merchant climbed onto a cart and sat side by side with Dutta and Mark 2.

"Ddu-ddu Tta-tta"

"Ne-gi-ee Ding-ding-ding."

"Du-du-djuung Dju~ Jajajan~"

On the way to the next field.

The song of the happy trio melted even the serious face muscles of the leader, who had been tense. freeweɓnovel.cøm

"So cute!!"

I’m not sure about the happy future, but I know about the happy present.

Forget about strategy research; right now, I need to catch clips.

The time for the wandering merchant’s fan club to catch happy clips continued for a while.

2.

Strategy game攻略 expert streamer, Marcus.

He was frustrated.

"Shadow Clone Technique? Holy shit. What the hell is that?!"

The strategy route research is a total disasterIf you can follow, come on (but no one can)

The appearance of Mark 2, who looked just like the Silent Swordsman.

Those unfamiliar with Mark 2 were completely baffled by the sudden appearance of the clone.

Mark 2 is the Silent Swordsman's daughter.She looks just like her mother.In the East, this is what’s called sunk cost.How does the daughter get the nickname drug on the market?And she’s even a spirit!?I didn’t know she could be summoned in the game!Spirits, aren’t they ridiculously OP?If we form a contract with her and build affinity, we can use our spirit in other games?

How to攻略 the wandering merchant route.

Raise a gladiator and form a contract with a spirit.

What kind of strategy is this?!

"How am I supposed to攻略 without a spirit like Mark 2?"

Figure it out?Do your best?This boss wasn’t even supposed to be攻略ed in the first place, okay?

Two rounds of boss battles against the wandering boss.

Facing both the stalker and the destroyer, and surviving.

A battle where thousands of soldiers were exchanged for just one general.

It’s hard to even call it a sacrifice, really.

The strength of the fallen was passed on from the general to the Silent Swordsman.

[Field conquered.]

[Choose your faction strategy.]

[This turn allows you to select 2 strategies.]

[You have 1 strategy selection left.]

【Faction Strategy】

Conference (Gain advice, expand the map)Investigation (Obtain information, gain items, discover talents)Attack (Invade fields, expand influence)Station (Defend fields, recover from injuries, expand troops)Stratagem (Activate event)Diplomacy (Activate event)Special (Activate event)

Even after so much had happened, there was still a chance left.

Despite being able to recover from the damage done to the army, the mission didn’t stop.

[▶Attack]

[▶Marching towards the crevices of the frozen tundra.]

The path the great monster passed.

Beyond the devastated fields lies a rear base.

They were now on a shortcut heading straight for it.

This wasn’t even the standard route.

It couldn’t even be considered a攻略.

"This is the runaway route! Why are we taking the path to avoid the great monster while tracking it?!"

The攻略 that only the Silent Swordsman could undertake.

A path no one could follow.

"I’m not doing this. No, I can’t!"

Marcus declared his surrender.

It was the complete opposite of the renewed determination of the Dashman viewers.

3.

The snow plains of Esker.

The northernmost part of the great snow mountain range.

The frozen tundra.

The northern part of the great snow mountain area consists of four fields, where different field bosses move organically, creating strategic connections to block the enemy’s advance or hunt down the runaways.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

For typical players, it’s a place where, after escaping, they have to work hard to win the favor of the Snow Woman or learn the hidden skills and legacies of the mountain.

Escape or exploration.

It’s a place that, whether for good or bad reasons, one must inevitably pass through for the final boss攻略.

"Wow, the field bosses are all gone, and it’s so calm."

The speed master had never seen such a calm frozen tundra.

Not even the chill of minus several dozen degrees.

In a field with no snow falling, the ice cracks, and the ground is reinforced enough to let an army pass.

For the Silent Swordsman, it was familiar.

For those who tried to catch up with her, it would bring back nightmare-like memories.

Even the speed master quickly realized what that sight reminded her of.

"This is just like the melting forest, right?"

Melting forest speedrun, hahaWow! You know how to catch up with the Silent Swordsman!Does the speed master hold back from speed running? No way!Does the path disappear if you’re late here?What’s beyond this?A shortcut to the deeper inland opens.If you can’t pass this, you’ll have to go around at least 7 fields.It’s going to take a lot of turns.If the event triggers, you can cross two or three fields at once. If you’re lucky, you can cross all 7 fields in just 2-3 turns.I can’t even last two turns.The Silent Swordsman is already on her 7th turn here.She’s gone around again...

The speed master showed curiosity.

She had passed the melting forest freely when alone, but now she was leading an army.

[It’s impossible to pass with everyone.]

[It’s smarter to stretch the formation in advance with sacrifices or send a small squad to advance.]

Dutta, who wasn’t under any great threat, suggested a high-probability tactic.

Still, the fact that it involved sacrifices and division meant there was no other way.

Everyone could only advance this far together.

From here on out, we had to decide who would move forward and who would be left behind, or be prepared for the inevitable losses as we march through the freezing hell.

"Wait, what is this?"

As the ice cracks, a low but firm spiritual energy spreads, reinforcing the path enough for an army to pass.

Where the ice had broken, the spirit energy created a new bridge strong enough to pass through.

"Are they really using elemental power to make a sword?"

The skill, once shown in Gladiator Training, was now coming to life again.

The renowned Cold Sword Master who had frozen Neo-Hanyang with her sword was back at it again.

"Normally, you fight field bosses and either overpower them or negotiate to gather them and meet the Snow Woman for a deal, right?"

Yeah?So?

"This guy already wiped out all the field bosses on his way here, so the blizzard just stopped. Now, he’s blocking the melting ice with his own strength."

Nature disaster (formerly)The Blizzard seemed to hide before it got wiped out.Incredible.So, how will the speed master follow this later?Really, haha.

"First, shouldn’t we ask if he can still lead an army through by freezing the ground?"

If he wasn’t leading an army, there would have been no need to freeze the path forcibly.

‘I guess it’s already a success to leave just three thousand behind.’

It was strange for the Silent Swordsman, whose army exceeded 100,000, even in the later stages of the field.

Let me know if you need further translations!
