71. Crisis?

Unlike the USA, Sudan isn't wealthy enough to prepare blank checks to hire S-Rank Hunters. They don't even have the money to hire even 1 National Level Hunter.

South Sudan is currently the world's poorest country. They also don't have that many powerful Hunters. Even their only S-Rank awakener left the country after getting a big offer from another country, so they don't have any S-Rank Hunter now.

They hardly have enough Hunters to clear Gates that appear in their country. But now an S-Rank Gate suddenly appears there and they don't even have money to hire Hunters from other countries.

That's why the Government of Sudan can only ask for anyone's help without being able to prepare any compensation. They can only beg for powerful Hunters to help them.

Obviously, most S-Ranks ignore their plea. It's not a matter of whether they pity the people of South Sudan or not. They aren't even sure they can survive the S-Rank Gate, and to raid it without any compensation is like asking them to just kill themselves.

It's also the case for the National Level Hunters. Especially since they know just how dangerous an S-Rank Gate is and they are worried if the monster in this S-Rank Gate will be even stronger than Kamish.

The people of Sudan are losing hope and even prepare to leave their country because of the S-Rank Gate.

They also don't receive any news of S-Rank or National Level Hunters coming to help them for free.

But on the 2nd day, they suddenly receive news that Egypt and Ghana are sending their S-Rank and National Level Hunters.

Egypt and Ghana are the only countries in Africa that have National Level Hunters, Dina Fayek and Kwasi Wale.

After that, the countries around them also send their high-level Hunters. If this S-Rank Gate isn't cleared, then some countries in Africa might get erased from the map, after all, so they need to help either way.

Another good news comes. South Korea's Ahjin Guild also comes to help. But only Il Hwan and Jin Woo come because the others will just get in their way.

A lot of high-level Hunters think that it's stupid to raid the S-Rank Gate without proper compensation because they are risking their lives.

It becomes a very hot topic all over the world and people are wondering whether the other National Level Hunters will also come.

Some have confirmed that they won't come to help because even their countries are now struggling to clear Gates that keep increasing.

Of course, the world also wonders whether Indra and Dewi will go to raid the S-Rank Gate. But they haven't appeared at all since the news of that S-Rank Gate spread.

That's why everyone is surprised when they suddenly appear in South Sudan. No one was expecting their arrival, so there's no one welcoming them at the airport.

South Sudan's government quickly comes to the airport when they hear about the arrival of the National Level siblings. The President and Vice President comes to pick them up themselves.

While they are thankful that both of them come to help, they all are wondering why both of them come without any notice.

"We just don't want to gather too much attention. It's annoying."

"Haha, my brother hates reporters. If they know we are coming, they will flock at the airport, both in our country and here. Sorry if that bothers you."

"No, no, no! It's not a bother at all. We are happy to have you here. Actually, Mr. Sung Il Hwan told us that you would surely come, but we didn't receive any call, so we were doubting it. We are very glad that you really came."

The President even teared up because 5 National Level Hunters actually came to help. He thought that his country will be done for when the S-Rank Gate appeared, so he is very relieved now.

"Don't be relieved yet, Mr. President. The dungeon hasn't been cleared yet. We need to stay vigilant."

"R-right, I'm sorry."

"When will we discuss the raid?"

"The other National Level Hunters want to talk about it tomorrow."

Indra nods before asking, "How is the evacuation process?"

"We are still evacuating people from Juba. The whole city will be empty when the raid starts."

"Just a whole city? You do realize that if something like Kamish comes out of there, then this whole country might get obliterated, right?"

"Y-yes. But Mr. Sung Il Hwan has confirmed that the Hunters can enter the Gate. So the raid will be done inside the Gate."

"I see, so it's not blocked like the one in the USA, huh? Alright then. But be prepared to evacuate the whole country anytime because we never know what will happen. It's better to stay cautious."

"Yes, I understand."

They arrive in the best hotel in the city which surely is not as good as the one in Los Angeles. But they don't mind it. Everything is good as long as they can sleep here.

The other National Level Hunters have waited for them in the lobby. All of them are obviously relieved when they see Indra here.

He can literally increase their fighting power by two folds with his buffs and weaken the enemy significantly while also ensuring everyone's safety with his barrier.

His power is enough to make all National Level Hunters agree that Indra is the most important Hunter in the world right now.

If something beyond S-Rank Gate level of threat appears, then all of them will choose to stay with Indra because their survival chance will double instantly.

"Glad that you are here, my friend."

"I can't just leave a dangerous Gate like this, right?"

Ghana's Kwasi Wale is very happy seeing Indra come and immediately hug him. While Ghana is several countries away from South Sudan, it will still be in danger if the S-Rank Gate isn't cleared.

Egypt is also within the danger range, that's why Dina came without any hesitation. She is not surprised like Kwasi because she knew they would come as she is very close with Dewi and was told by her beforehand.

Il Hwan and Jin Woo aren't surprised either obviously.

"Is it okay for you to leave South Korea?"

"Why not? We already have a few more S-Ranks there. A-Rank Gates won't trouble them."

"Right, S-Ranks."

Indra looks around to see the many Hunters that gathered there. He appreciates their bravery to face this danger, but they are just too weak to help with the raid.

"I know what you are thinking, but we can't really ask them to leave. They won't even leave anyway. These guys are ready to die just to buy their families more time to escape if needed."

"Yeah, I know. Well, that's fine. But I heard you say we can enter the Gate here."

"That's right. Jin Woo has confirmed it."

Indra looks at Jin Woo who nods, so he sighs in relief. It will be very devastating for people here if their city is destroyed.

This country is very poor, so rebuilding a city might take all their money and it will take a long time, so people will need to live in shelters during that time, and their shelters obviously won't be as good as the ones in America.

The next day, the Hunters hold a discussion to prepare for the raid. Indra leads the discussion and he makes it clear from the start that only the National Level Hunters and S-Ranks will enter the Gate to raid it.

"Aside from the 5 National Levels and 13 S-Ranks here, everyone else isn't allowed to enter. You guys are too weak to help us in the raid, so I hope you understand. It will be more effective to raid with a few elites. My buffs are also better if used on stronger people. But I won't ask you to leave."

They never know what will happen in the dungeon and currently they don't even know what kind of monsters are there in the dungeon.

"It may just be a single monster like Kamish, but there might be a lot of monsters too like normal dungeons. So I want you guys to stay on guard outside, especially the Healers. The raid might be too hard and we might even need to escape, so I want you to be ready to help. It might even fail and the Gate might break, letting the monsters out. We need to consider many possibilities, even failure. So you guys need to be ready to fight anytime too."

It's very unlikely to happen with Indra and Jin Woo there. But Indra knows it's better to say those things because these guys will never leave even if he forces them.

So it's better to keep them outside the Gate so they won't disturb the raid. Their discussion doesn't take a long time and they decide to raid the dungeon the next day.
