The Japanese players, provoked by my taunt, pushed their soldiers forward under their command.

To enter this fertile land, they had to break through me.

However, I shrugged casually as I cut down the Japanese soldiers.

“Where do these arrowless guys think they’re showing off?”

The gate of the wooden fence, the only passage, was narrow enough for only two people to pass through at a time.

In other words, I didn’t have to deal with too many soldiers at once.

Meanwhile, the archers commanded by Sae-rin noona continuously shot arrows at the Japanese soldiers approaching the fence.

Despite being the lowest-tier archers, they were highly effective against the low-ranking enemy infantry.

As I continued to defend the fence, the viewers started making various jokes.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋSha-po.

-But hey, Lu Bu uses a spear.

-ㅇㅇOur weapon now is a sword, so Sword Master is closer.

-No way… ‘That man’?

-The greatest Sword Master on the Korean Peninsula.

-God Jun-kyungㅋㅋㅋ

-Sha Jun-kyung ㅇㅈ

Cheok Jun-kyung.

Even those who weren’t history buffs knew that name.

Moreover, since he was called the greatest warrior on the Korean Peninsula, it was arguably a much better nickname than Lu Bu.

I glanced at the chat window and kicked down a peasant swordsman who had slashed my chest diagonally.

I quickly finished him off by stabbing his neck with my sword and then looked ahead.

It seemed that a Japanese player was personally stepping in due to the unfavorable situation.

What was even funnier was.

[‘Nagatomo’ has challenged you to a duel!]

The mistake that even the Chinese players didn’t make.

Challenging to a duel sends a notification to all comrades on the battlefield.

The other Japanese players who saw the message turned pale.

“Nagatomo, you fool!”

“If you lose the duel, it’s over! You took other people’s equipment too!”

“Shut up! I can crush this Joseon jerk!”

They started fighting amongst themselves.

I examined the Japanese player wearing particularly shiny equipment.

Did he say his name was Nagatomo?

-Nagatomoㅋㅋ

-That guy. The pro gamer from <Samurai Wars>ㅋㅋ

-Oh, the one called Musashi’s reincarnation?

-Who’s Musashi, you weeaboo.

-Info) Musashi is Japan’s greatest swordsman.

-Reincarnationㅇㅈㄹㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-These weeaboos are hilarious, calling it reincarnationㅋㅋ

-But I heard he’s from a pretty famous swordsman family in real life.

As the viewers kindly explained, this guy wasn’t suited for this type of game.

However, the Japanese must have thought it through and recruited the most famous physical gamer from <Samurai Wars> for this series, where physical skills are crucial.

It was a special measure since it was a fight for the pride of the three countries.

Of course, since the <Samurai Wars> pro league was recording dismal results, it was likely they included this Nagatomo for promotional purposes.

Isn’t the picture clear?

The overlord of <Samurai Wars> who avenged Japan’s disgrace!

It’s a childish but sure means of revenge.

“Crazy bastard.”

-Musashi VS Cheok Jun-kyung.

-Dakhu.

-ㄷㅎ

-Dakhu for sureㅋㅋ

-How can an island monkey beat a Sword Masterㅋㅋ

-Musashi soloing an army? Cheok Jun-kyung can do it easily.

-That only happens in novels ㅉㅉ So many Cheok fans here.

-Next, you’re gonna say Japanophiles.

The most chewable element in the chat window was a confrontation structure.

Especially when it involved historical figures, everyone jumped in foaming at the mouth.

It was high-quality trolling.

Usually, I would’ve kicked out the trolls without hesitation, but the situation was different now.

A duel with the honor of each country at stake in an instant.

I smiled wryly as I watched Nagatomo running towards me.

And then I called out to Sae-rin noona.

“Noona!”

“Huh?”

“See that Japanese player running towards us?”

“Yeah!”

“Focus the arrows on him!”

The archers behind the fence immediately showered Nagatomo with arrows, making him stagger.

Only then did I quickly accept the duel.

[The duel begins!]

[The battle temporarily stops.]

The soldiers trying to push through the fence retreated, revealing Nagatomo, who had turned into a pincushion from the arrows.

Nagatomo glared at me, grinding his teeth.

“You cowardly Joseon scum! Attacking with arrows before the duel? Do you have any honor?”

Oh, the translation feature conveyed his anger very well.

“Hey, I did it for you. I’ve been fighting your soldiers for 30 minutes and losing blood!”

Of course, that was a lie.

Thanks to the skill <Vampire>, I was in perfect condition.

I could fight all day as long as I didn’t feel fatigued.

Nagatomo shouted, as if my words were nonsense.

“Who doesn’t know you have the <Vampire> skill?”

“Wow, I didn’t know you knew. How did you find out? Hey, maybe… you too? Yeah, me too!”

“Shut up!”

Nagatomo, who had quickly reached me, sharply thrust his sword towards my abdomen.

With my center of gravity off balance, it was hard to react nimbly.

But I lightly deflected his sword with mine.

His sword, losing its direction, grazed my side.

I quietly whispered into Nagatomo’s ear, who had come close.

“If you manage to stab me properly, I’ll kill myself. How about it, sound tempting?”

“You bastard…”

“Listen to my plan. I’ll win this duel easily, then tear apart that garbage flag of yours and burn it. My viewers want that.”

When they invaded with that trashy flag, their fate was already sealed.

I lightly kicked his abdomen and then swiftly charged at him.

Since I hadn’t learned swordsmanship separately like him, there were limits to fighting with swords.

But in a close-quarters fight, the difference in swordsmanship didn’t matter.

From that point on, it was all about reaction speed.

“Do your best, Musashi.”

“You piece of…”

“Oh, let me ask again, you know Riphat Man, right? Riphat Man? You love hearing that name, don’t you!”

“Arghhh!”

Nagatomo, having lost his composure, launched fierce attacks towards my neck.

4.

-Cheok Jun-kyung wins decisively

-This place does historical reenactments so wellㅋㅋㅋ

-Wow, dodging all those attacks in an instant, that’s insane.

-At this point, it’s not a sword fight, it’s just hand-to-hand combatㅋㅋㅋ

-Riphat Man! Riphat Man! Riphat Man!

-Riphat Man! Is he Gaksital? Riphat Man! Is he Gaksital?

[You have won the duel with the enemy commander!]

[The enemies are losing morale and beginning to scatter!]

The battle with Nagatomo ended in an instant.

I had only slightly provoked him, and Nagatomo’s mental state crumbled easily.

Targeting an overly excited opponent was much easier for me than eating a piece of cake.

After leaving Nagatomo in a critical condition, I quietly looked ahead.

When a player is in a critical condition, they become unable to act.

In other words, Nagatomo could only see and hear at this moment.

“Sae-rin noona.”

“You did well. You really handled everything on your own? Even my viewers are telling you to stop carrying the team.”

“Hey, let’s make him a prisoner. The prisoner system allows for up to two prisoners, right?”

“That’s a good idea. What should we do with the other Japanese players?”

“Kill them.”

“Right now…”

“Wait. There’s something I need to do first.”

“Alright.”

Sae-rin noona nodded and had the soldiers tie up Nagatomo with ropes.

Thus, Nagatomo became a prisoner. I tapped his head with my sword and spoke.

“Next time, watch who you charge at. You’ll be unemployed soon, so try to find a good team. How about <League of Storms> instead of <Samurai Wars>? That game is quite fun, haha.”

“You bastard…”

“Yep, I’m muting your voice.”

[Player ‘Nagatomo’s’ voice has been muted.]

Good.

I had given a delightful taste of justice, and now it was time to collect the main dish.

I walked forward with light steps.

The archers under Sae-rin noona’s command had already surrounded the Japanese players.

They had no way to escape.

Even though they were archers, they had basic equipment, so they weren’t entirely useless in close combat.

Moreover, the Japanese players were in a <Morale Decrease> state due to the duel loss.

This was a fatal penalty that reduced all their stats by 80%.

As a result, they had already given up on fleeing.

“Hello, friends. Nagatomo was too arrogant, so I made him a prisoner. He will be freed after three hours, right? If you give up half of your territory, I’ll release him. How about it?”

“Stop talking nonsense and kill us quickly.”

“We do not beg for our lives!”

“Even now, the Chinese players are gathering their forces and waiting for the right moment. At least you won’t win…”

The Japanese players were already spouting angry words as if they had been waiting for this moment.

I smirked at them and slowly approached the standard-bearer standing next to them.

Then I mercilessly cut off the standard-bearer’s head, letting the flag fall to the ground.

A flag that was horrifying for our people.

During the PC gaming era, some Japanese players used this war flag as their profile picture to cause trouble.

Even in virtual reality, it was no different.

Some Japanese players continued to behave like that, and there were frequent controversies about it in online communities.

-How could they even think of using that flag in a national competition?

-Even Chinese streamers are furiousㅋㅋ They’re questioning how we can ally with those using the war flag.

-Current Chinese opinion) Cursing both sides for now.

-The more I see it, the angrier I get.

-Is it just me, or does our evil guy look righteous?

-Legendary video incoming.

-MiHa! (Means MiTube Highlight).

-MiHa!

The viewers’ reactions were unanimous, and I nodded as I looked at the chat window.

Then I took a torch from a nearby soldier and threw it onto the flag.

Fwoosh.

The war flag quickly caught fire.

Thanks to the realism in unnecessary places, that trashy flag was burning quite vividly.

When the opponents act like trash, I don’t reprimand them in a refined manner.

I repay trashy behavior with trashy actions.

I did it that way back in <Gaia Online>, and I had no intention of changing that style.

Some might see me as excessive and criticize me.

Some might even find it disgusting.

But I didn’t care.

In the end, I just did what I wanted to do.

Looking at the blazing war flag, the Rising Sun flag, I spoke to the Japanese players.

“Watch closely. That’s your future.”
