Interest

[Third Person POV],

Maria Dawn was already on her feet as she rushed out of the room with Celeb, and just as she was about to leave the residence, two men with sharp looking armour suddenly appeared beside her on both sides, scaring the living daylights out of Celeb, who wasn't expecting it.

But, judging by the slightly indifferent expression on Maria Dawn face, it was clear she wasn't bothered by the two men's appearance, which she recognized.

[Rank 1 King Guard Level 34],

[Rank 1 King Guard Level 35],

These were the texts that appeared on the heads of the two men if one focused on them, as they revealed the name of their job to whoever focused on them.

The King Guard was a rare grade job that could only be given to a personal follower of a king whose name was recognized by the primordial chronicle.

This only goes to show that this job was not limited to Andrew Dawn's followers, but was rather common among kings and their subjects in the true world.

Despite its apparent simplicity, this job came with some requirements.

One had to be the king's 'personal' guard and be recognized by the king as one of his or her personal guards.

Another difference was that in rank 1, only ten of the king's followers were allowed to have this job, and after ten of the followers who had chosen the King Guard job as their choice when the primordial chronicle asked them to choose the job they wanted to use to evolve were chosen, the other followers who had also chosen the job but were not chosen would be given another chance.

In terms of how the ten followers chosen by the king were identified, the primordial chronicle was going to send a notification to the king of the followers to choose whomever he wanted, with a limit of ten.

But, putting these conditions aside, what was the benefit of the job?

The benefit was simple but powerful depending on the king the king guards were serving because the benefit of the King Guard job was having 30% of the king's total attributes in his or her base form.

This had the potential to be very powerful because, depending on the power of the king the King Guards were serving, it was not impossible for them to fight a few levels above their own level.

It was even better because the King Guard job came with its own bonus.

It was no exaggeration to say that these guards were elites among elites beneath the king.

The only catch was that if any of the guards refused to serve their king again, they would lose their job.

And losing one's job was an entirely different matter.

Celeb had no idea what was going on behind the King Guards, but he knew they were all very powerful.

Maria Dawn, of course, knew a little more about the guards than the average person in the settlement, such as Celeb, and thanks to the power her husband bestowed upon her, she had the authority to command these guards.

"Are you aware of what is attacking us?" Maria Dawn inquired as one of the men beside her opened his mouth to respond as soon as he heard her question.

"It's the king and his men who attacked us before that came back with his men and this time, they are more than before," the guard said as Maria Dawn spoke again without turning to face anyone as she continued to make her way forward to the settlement's center.

"How many do you think there should be in total?" She inquired, and this time it was the other man beside her who responded.

"There are at least a thousand men now outside the gates."

"A thousand?!" Maria Dawn came to a halt as she said this, turning to face the man who had told her this information.

At the moment, Celeb was being treated like air at this point because no one was paying attention to him.

It was heartbreaking for the young father.

"How many men do we have now?" Maria Dawn inquired, and she received an immediate response.

"We have three thousand men," the man who responded said, but just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief that things weren't looking so bad anymore, the man spoke again.

"We have three thousand men on their way here right now, and seven hundred men are already in the settlement."

When she heard this, Maria Dawn's veins were popping right out of her forehead from rage, so she only spoke after a few more seconds to calm down and maintain her image.

"How come there aren't more men here?"

"I thought there were only a few dozen men divided in the posts outside the settlement", Maria Dawn stated.

"That's correct, but due to the large amount of territory we had to cover, the king divided most of our men into groups so we could cover a larger area faster."

"We had no idea the same king would suddenly attack us again."

"It even surprised me how he found us."

Maria Dawn could only sigh as she heard the words both men beside her said.

She was perplexed as to why people couldn't simply focus on surviving, as they had done when they first arrived in the true world.

After all, humans were programmed to behave in this manner because they all had their own interests.

As she was thinking about this, Maria Dawn asked a question that made Celeb choke on his spit.

"Does the Dragon Heart have anything to do with this attack?" She inquired, as both men nodded.

Immediately following this exchange, a loud explosion-like sound resounded throughout the area, and a dim dome appeared above the settlement.

"It's not going to last long," Maria Dawn muttered as she looked at the defensive dome that surrounded the entire settlement before silently sending a message to her husband.
