[Moonlover41 has donated 200 diamonds!]

[Mebeautiful has donated 300 diamonds!]

— I was here!

— I was here!

[Maddening has donated 500 diamonds!]

[Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Breeze is crazy!]

— I was here!

— I want to become Breeze's student! Take me in! 

[AxeLover has donated 1,000 diamonds!]

[Take my money!]

The donations and chat poured in without stopping. It was how great Max's achievement of soloing Trouser was. The viewers were excited and amazed!

Some viewers also posted clips and new threads immediately in the community forum. Some curious people joined the livestream, pumping up the viewers to pass the 400 mark.

"Thank you for the donations! Moonlover41, thank you for the 200. Mebeautiful, thank you for the 300! And Madenning and AxeLover. I really appreciate all your support!"

Max recited the names one by one, thanking the viewers who gave him donations. AxeLover and Maddening weren't unfamiliar names. In fact, Max remembered AxeLover as he gave him his first stream mission, and Maddening had donated to him before.

In the end, the donations for today alone, including what he got before, reached 4700 diamonds.

'Crazy!'

He still couldn't believe it even when he saw the notification in the corner of his vision.

However, Max couldn't stop there yet. There was still another mission.

"Now, let's kick Huh Ah knight's ass!"

— Let's goo!

— The barbarians are panicking now that Trouser is dead.

— It's your chance! Use this riot to kick him!

"That's the plan."

Just as the chat mentioned. After Max killed Trouser, the barbarians' army looked shaken, and the knights managed to push them, causing them to spread.

His mission wouldn't end before the battle wrapped up. So Max still had a few minutes left to sneak behind Huh Ah knight and kick his butt to finish the stream mission. He used this chance to take his remaining axe first before going toward Huh Ah knight.

While running toward Huh Ah knight, Max opened the mission to see the progress.

[Knight's Lament]

[The barbarians' army has attacked the Rami Kingdom! Head to the front line and push back the enemies with Knight Captain Hutch!]

[Progress: 1/1 Trouser killed

43/125 Barbarians killed]

More than 80 barbarians were still left. They tried their best to run instead of confronting the knights.

"Chase after them! Don't let them run!"

Huh Ah knight gave out orders as he stopped his horse and jumped down. Chasing the crazy barbarians on the horse in huge numbers could cause friendly fire.

"Catch some of them! We need information about their main army!"

Especially since the knights wanted to catch some prisoners for information, it would be hard to do so from horseback. So, some knights also jumped down the horse and started to tie the barbarians.

The commander, Huh Ah, turned around and smiled widely when he saw Max approaching. Huh Ah knight spread his arms and hugged Max.

"Huh ah! You did a good job!"

'Huh ah?'

Max couldn't react when he heard him speak.

"Huh ah huh ah huh ah!" The commander laughed loudly as he hit Max's back and backed away.

— There it is, Huh Ah!

— Huh ah huh ah huh ah!

— No matter how many times I heard it, his laugh is irritating.

The chat filled the chat immediately, imitating the commander.

They gave Max some context as to why the current commander was called Huh Ah knight and not butt-kicking knight or something.

"To think you killed Trouser by yourself! I will recommend you to get a medal when we return!"

"Thank you?" Max answered, still confused by the strange laugh.

'That's a laugh? So Huh Ah isn't his name, but it's how he laughed?'

While the commander praised Max exaggeratedly, making him feel awkward and unable to kick him in the butt, the other knights rounded up the barbarians and tied some of them.

At that moment, the barbarians who resisted the knights fought in many directions, using their swords, axes, and even bows.

One barbarian stood on top of the empty hill where there were no knights around. He aimed his bow toward Huh Ah knight's back with no one realizing.

No one but Max.

"Die!"

Pang!

The barbarian released the string, and the arrow flew straight at a fast speed, splitting the wind.

Max's brain worked at an incredible speed as he saw the arrow going toward him. Time seemed to slow down slightly as he decided what to do.

Evading the arrow was easy, but Huh Ah knight would get hit in the back. He didn't seem to notice the incoming arrow.

No matter what, if Max wanted to finish the game perfectly, he needed to help Huh Ah knight. Also…

'Isn't this the perfect time?'

He finally had a reason to kick Huh Ah knight's butt.

Without hesitation, Max quickly ducked and stretched his leg. It was fast, and the wind split. A bone-cracking sound rang loudly when his metal boot hit Huh Ah's soft butt that wasn't covered in armor.

Crack!

"Aggh!"

A painful yell resounded as the commander was sent flying to the side. He rolled around the ground before stopping himself and glared at Max.

"What the heck are you do–"

Zoop!

Huh Ah's shout was interrupted by an arrow embedded in the ground beside Max. He stopped and turned around, looking at the archer that the nearby knight stopped.

"Commander! Are you okay?!" One of the knights shouted worriedly.

Realization washed over Huh Ah knight as he slowly turned to Max, who stood up with a complex expression. His anger was gone.

"Did you just save me?" The commander asked.

"My apologies. I don't know how to do it gently. It's an urgent situation." Max answered while bowing his head. His expression couldn't be seen.

"N-No." The commander shook his head in guilt.

"I should be the one apologizing. If you didn't blow me away, that arrow would lodge in my head. You have saved my life, thank you." He patted Max on the shoulder. "You should rest, Sir Breeze. Leave the rest to me and the other knights. Good work."

With that, Huh Ah knight walked away to his horse and jumped up. He groaned in pain while rubbing his butt, but a satisfied smile was on his face.

Meanwhile, Max kept his head down low before walking away from the battlefield. His expression looked weird, as he had tried his best not to laugh loudly from the notification from both the streaming platform and the game.

[Mission completed!]
