Who is the team closest to winning the current mock siege war?
Many would likely choose Leo’s synergy ultimate team or Lily’s rising rookie team.
But does that mean Choco’s team has zero chances of victory?
Not at all.
“Spearman, Assassin, Ranger, Tanker.”
One frontliner, one mid-range, and one ranged, plus Yena, who specializes in assassination during sieges.
“The combination aspect is not bad for Choco’s team either.”
“That’s right. Not only Choco, but the other three are also quite high in the rankings.”
At my words, Black nodded in agreement.
Yena at rank 33.
Laguiel at rank 35.
Truck Shield at rank 43.
They might not be at the level of ‘team leader’ players, but their rankings are impressively high compared to other team members.
Moreover, having a ‘Tanker’ in the top 50 is quite special.
Usually, tankers are roles for the team rather than themselves, so they often appear a bit weak in 1v1 battles.
Achieving rank 43 by his own power is proof of his exceptional skills.
[Truck Shield is a variable]
[Once he charges in, he can’t move immediately]
[The stun is a bit scary]
[It’s hard to hit, but if it does, it’s over]
[For real, Choco’s team looks strong when you think about it?]
[Can’t ignore Choco’s team]
“Next is Laguiel.”
“He’s part of the Angel Guild.”
He’s an elite with the title of the Seven Archangels, and he was the one who invited me to join the guild on the first day of the broadcast, just like Raphael.
I personally don’t like the fact that he’s from the ‘Angel’ guild.
“He’s one of the top Rangers. As long as you watch out for the arrows coming from outside your line of sight, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
“The most important thing is the blessing from the Angel Guild. Their guild buffs are seriously good.”
The characteristics of the Archangels in the Angel Guild.
They can use special ‘guild skills’.
Using exclusive skills peculiar to the Angel Guild, they each operate as pros, rankers, or outstanding warriors known throughout the continent.
If the top 10 rankers hadn’t participated this time, Laguiel would have been among the team leaders.
[Kinguel]
[Laguiel is strong]
[Laguiel is a strong lad]
[But isn’t he a bit weak for the Seven Archangels?]
[Shh]
[Hahahahahaha]
[Laguiel is slightly below, but still a ranker, yes yes]
“Miss Yena’s Echo of Death is overpowered.”
It’s a legendary hidden piece, possessing the unique trait that it exists solely in the server.
“Echo of Death.”
It has the effect of summoning armed Orc soldiers with levels exceeding 60 and dramatically boosting one’s own stats.
In terms of sheer level, it’s comparable to Mythical Equipment.
“I’ve seen it once too, and it looked really useful.”
I was pretty impressed when I saw it overwhelming the high-level spirit Nerindia.
Spirits can be like young children, but high-level spirits are beings that have lived for hundreds of years, so they’re definitely not easy opponents.
“Miss Yena has maintained her rank for so long that her skills are beyond doubt.”
“But Lady Lily won, didn’t she?”
“…That’s true.”
[That’s not just winning, though]
[Wasn’t it just a total stomp? Lol]
[Oh yeah]
[Lolololololol]
[We won’t know until we face each other properly]
[For real, lol]
[She already beat Black head-on, so what else isn’t clear? Lol]
I shook my head at the responses in the chat window.
“It’s still hard to say until we fight officially.”
The mock siege war is a serious match with money and honor on the line.
Back then, I was a newbie and my stats were dragged down for reasons like lacking equipment, but that day, we have to clash at full strength without holding back.
Honestly, I don’t think I’ll lose, but no one really knows what will happen.
At the very least, it won’t be an easy win.
“Unless we regain the Holy.”
Redberry nodded.
“That’s right. Lady Lily is indeed exceptional in skill, but the difference in specs can’t be ignored. No matter how balanced the adjustments are, you can’t escape the basic differences.”
This isn’t just about fairness.
The rankers’ specs are ultimately the result of their hard work.
You can’t level everything out while ignoring that.
Black, who was continuing the discussion with a model, looked up into the air and said, “Well then, let’s wrap up the strategy analysis and start looking for a scrim opponent.”
“Is Choco not joining?”
“Choco?”
Hmm… Black scratched his chin.
“I think Lady Lily will win. There’s a wealth of data since she competes professionally.”
No problem at all.
[Oh]
[Black’s bold statement, wow!]
[Of course he thinks that after Lady Lily stole her ultimate, lol]
[For real, lol]
[Shocking fact: Lady Lily’s true potential has barely been revealed]
[Lady Lily who can handle spears, hammers, and range? No way to block that, lol]
[I agree]
[For real, lol]

Typically, team matches like these require scrimming against the opposing team to learn about each other’s play styles and strategies.
In team matches, you need to scrim against the opposing team to learn about each other’s play styles and strategies.
It’s a way to improve skills while figuring out how to handle opponents.
However, this mock siege war is said to be a bit different.
“With three teams, it seems like a team vs. team scrim will be a bit challenging.”
It’s a method where three teams compete, not just two.
Collecting all teams for every scrim poses problems, especially since there’s a risk of spoilers when battling against the opposing team.
The tension and excitement about who will win or lose on the day of the match diminishes.
However, having an exclusive scrim is tricky because more than half the players are streamers, which makes it awkward content-wise.
Moreover, the most important aspect, like the “rivalry between competitors,” becomes meaningless.
Many people are eagerly anticipating that showdown.
In the end, it was decided to face ordinary people or acquaintances for the scrim.
We waited for a moment in the siege war arena while searching for scrim opponents.
Due to the high interest in the mock siege war, the arena was crowded with people gathered to challenge us, but Black skillfully selected a few suitable users as our opponents.
[The siege war battle will start shortly.]
[Battle format – Single round, stat adjustment, equipment adjustment.]
[You are the Red Team. Break the opponent’s core and claim victory!]
[You are the Grand General. You have one life, the maximum level is 13, and you start at level 3.]
[You receive an additional Attack Buff 1.]
A blue curtain envelops us all.
Before long, my teammates and I stood in front of the immense gray castle.
Looking next to me, I saw Redberry with a label above her head that read [Red Team – General].
Above me was probably [Red Team – Grand General].
[Start?]
[Let’s go~]
[Shall we go dragon hunting right away?]
[LOL]
[Let’s take out the workers first ㄱㄱ]
[I think we should send some scouts.]
[Let’s just go break the core, LOL.]
[Honestly, with this lineup, it’s a direct confrontation.]
[Let’s clear the forest first and attack ㄱㄱ]
Right from the start, the viewers were suggesting various routes.
It was clear that with over 100,000 viewers, most had different opinions on what they wanted.
“First scrim, so let’s not feel too pressured and take our time.”
Black naturally led the team, as if used to this role.
It’s clear there’s a reason we entrusted him with team leadership (though he’s not the Grand General).
Black divided the NPC soldiers, assigning some to guard the house and others to gather resources, before scouting across the river.
After giving the resource procurement order, I looked across the river.
“Right now it’s NPCs, but on that day, there will be real users.”
“Can we start now?”
“Well, we need to have a strategy meeting and set up our tactics… Lady Lily, this is your first siege war, right?”
“Yes.”
Then…
Black seemed to think deeply for a moment before slinging his black greatsword over his shoulder.
“Think of it as sightseeing on the map. Feel free to wander around, gather what you need, and it’s fine to attack the opposing team.”
“So we’re not planning any strategies for now?”
“No. First, I want to see how you all play and decide from there. I’ll be nearby the castle, so you don’t need to worry about the house.”
With that, Black quickly darted across the river with his greatsword in hand.
He vanished into the ‘forest’ in no time.
[Honestly, with just two of us, we could take down the other eight.]
[LOL for real.]
[Meeting? What meeting? Just wipe them out.]
[Black’s got some fire, haha.]
[No need to come in too tight from the start.]
Redberry’s red hair flared up as if on fire.
“I’ll go protect the workers. Some users come across the forest to kill them occasionally.”
“I’m going to hunt some monsters!”
Each one vanished into the forest, scattering fire and dark flames as they crossed the river.
I was left alone.
“Umm… where should I go?”
I checked the map.
Castles positioned at the vertices of a triangle.
A blue ‘river’ surrounding the castles, and a green ‘forest’ occupying most of the map.
In the center of the grey plain, there was a boss monster that looked like it could roar at any moment.
Suddenly, a funny idea popped into my head.
“Let’s go catch the boss.”
[?]
[?]
[At level 3?]
[I doubt we can.]
[You need to be at least level 8.]
[Going to hunt a dragon at level 3… that’s a fresh idea.]
[???]
[If it’s Lily, it might be possible, haha?]
[That’d be a suicide mission, lol.]
[Ignoring Lily? It’s possible if it’s Lily.]
[Starting right off with a dragon buff is certainly fresh, haha!]
