Absolute Dweller

The eight team leaders, composed of retainers, were strictly chosen based on their noble ranks.

After all, to establish territories, a noble title was ultimately required.

The higher the title, the larger the territory one could establish, making it an inevitable decision.

For this reason, most of the selected leaders were those who had been with me for a long time.

The first to be chosen were Oh Eon-ju and Ha Dong-geon.

Both had already experienced constructing territories, which gave them extra merit.

Since enduring pain was necessary when forming a domain, it was only natural to entrust this responsibility to experienced individuals.

Next, the ones chosen were Moon Byeong-ho, Kim Ga-young, Kim Geon, Kang Deok-soo, Lee Joon-hyuk, and Jang Seong-jun.

These six individuals made up the rest.

‘All of them hold the Viscount title.’

It was unfortunate that Ha Dong-geon's party had to be split up, but it was unavoidable.@@novelbin@@

The noble title system ultimately depended on contribution points.

Typically, when someone with an awakened ability was appointed as a retainer, they would start with the Knight title. However, to advance to Viscount, a minimum of 110,000 points was required.

• Baron required 10,000 points.
• Viscount required 100,000 points.

The only group that possessed this level of contribution was Ha Dong-geon's party.

‘I would have preferred not to split them up…’

But in order to establish safe zones across a wide area, this was the best possible decision.

In the end, the finalized list was as follows:

• Team 1 Leader: Oh Eon-ju
• Team 2 Leader: Ha Dong-geon
• Team 3 Leader: Moon Byeong-ho
• Team 4 Leader: Kim Ga-young
• Team 5 Leader: Kim Geon
• Team 6 Leader: Kang Deok-soo
• Team 7 Leader: Lee Joon-hyuk
• Team 8 Leader: Jang Seong-jun

Each team consisted of ten members, totaling eighty retainers.

Normally, I managed around thirty Absolute Dweller’s Eye channels at once.

However, at this moment, I had only activated eight—one per team.

With that setup, I relayed instructions through the Ring of Communication.

[As you all know, today's main objective is reconnaissance.]

• Team 1: Gwangju
• Team 2: Daejeon
• Team 3: Daegu
• Team 4: Gangwon Province
• Team 5: Incheon
• Teams 6 to 8: Gyeonggi Province

The operation zones were assigned based on population size and density.

The first goal was to analyze the level of monsters appearing in each region.

[Good luck.]
