From Ken Rauhel to Astair, and now to Gillian. Operating with a small force yet continuously seeking combat, one Bloodpledge keeps on the move: 'Dangyeol'. Affiliated with The K Alliance, the Dangyeol Bloodpledge is sharpening its blades of revenge against past opponents, actively seeking out battles to this day.

Even when facing heavy disadvantages on Astair after the second server transfer, Dangyeol never gave up, ultimately demonstrating their tenacity by taking Kent Castle alongside their alliance members. Yet, despite reaching an advantageous position, they chose not to rest on their laurels, opting instead to head to Gillian on their own. What drives their decision?

Dangyeol's Monarch, 'Eungun', stated that while capturing castles, defeating bosses, and gearing up are important for a Bloodpledge's growth, keeping members interested in the game matters even more. As the third server transfer entered its second week, we met with Eungun to discuss why Dangyeol chose Gillian and what lies ahead for them.

Please introduce the Dangyeol Bloodpledge briefly.

" Eungun: Hello. I'm Eungun, the Monarch of Dangyeol. Our Bloodpledge started right after Lineage Classic launched on the Ken Rauhel server, with Jo In-beom as our founding Monarch. After In-beom quit the game, I took over as Monarch. We are currently part of The K Alliance.

You have been fighting consistently since the Ken Rauhel era. What initially made you choose to join the Line?

" Eungun: From the start, people who wanted to play in the Line gathered together. At the time, the No Tongsu Alliance had numerical superiority, but we felt it was right to start with The K Alliance, which was at a disadvantage.

Back when we were active on Ken Rauhel, we were a large Bloodpledge, but I spoke with our members about wanting to maintain a tight-knit unit that could fight together, even if small in numbers. During that process, our member BJ Honggane led combat command brilliantly, and the members adapted quickly through repeated battles.

After the second transfer, you fought from a disadvantage on Astair. What kept you going during that time?

" Eungun: When you play in the Line, it's easy to focus solely on whether you've claimed all three castles or how many bosses you've killed during boss spawns. Taking castles and acquiring items from bosses is certainly important for a Bloodpledge's growth. Still, I believe keeping the game fun is even more vital.

On Astair, even while pushed back, we created our own opportunities and enjoyed the fights. That's why I don't view it as a painful time. It's the same now that our Bloodpledge has moved to Gillian on its own. However hard it is for us, I think it's several times harder for our opponents. The driving force behind us is our members, who quietly follow my leadership and enjoy every moment together.

Just as you gained the upper hand on Astair, you headed to Gillian. What made you choose Gillian?

" Eungun: Since the first server transfer opened, starting from Ken Rauhel through subsequent moves, there were several servers that sent main parties to fight us. Gillian was one of them. Back then, players from Gillian came to attack us, so this time we came with the mindset of taking revenge in person, even if our numbers are small.

Not only allies and onlookers, but even players from the rival No Tongsu Alliance highly praise Dangyeol's combat leadership. Where do you think Dangyeol's strength comes from?

" Eungun: We have Honggane, whom it's no exaggeration to call the best shot-caller in Lineage Classic. We also have Dangyeol Wammwa, who quietly leveled up amidst non-stop combat to reach rank #1 overall.

In addition, there's our officer team who trusts and follows my decisions—Dangyeol Goldring, Dangyeol Coolbin, Dangyeol Munsin, Dangyeol Yeojeong, Dangyeol Hingu—and all our members who support and cheer for me no matter the situation. That is the true power of Dangyeol.

The third server transfer is entering its second week. What kind of Bloodpledge do you hope to build moving forward?

" Eungun: We have no intention of transferring somewhere with no enemies. Any server with plenty of opponents or one that invaded us in the past is on the table. Our goal is to remain a Bloodpledge that hunts when it's time to hunt, and fights decisively when it's time to fight.

Do you have any final words for those supporting you and the clan members fighting alongside you?

" Eungun: Always trusting and relying on each other with strong bonds—right at the frontline of the Lineage battlefield!
