“…?”
Suddenly me?
I looked at Luna in the Commentary Booth.
Blue hair and wall-like eyes. A beautiful appearance as well.
It felt instinctively repellent, like she resembled me yet reminded me of the Celestial Race.
But I didn’t let it show outside.
After all, blue hair and wall-like eyes are more common than you’d think.
‘It’s been a long time since I was shocked just by looks.’
[LOL]
[As expected, Lily]
[Lily is definitely the king of the scene, haha]
[?]
[Choco, Leo, etc. are bawling like crazy, lol]
[I am looking forward to Lily]
[For real, haha]
[How come Yena didn’t pick this?]
As Luna mentioned Lily, all the cameras shining on the broadcast focused on her.
She radiated a beauty that was similar yet completely different from Luna.
Realizing the camera was on her, Lily nodded slightly and smiled.
[Wow]
[She’s ridiculously pretty, lol]
[Not even comparable to Luna?]
[This is Lily]
[Lily’s grace, wow]
[Luna’s pretty too, don’t compare]
[Yeah, yeah~]
[How did Lily make her character? Seriously]
[They weren’t the same person after all]
Commentator Lacl took the mic again and asked Luna.
“Is there a reason you chose Lily, who you don’t have a personal acquaintance with?”
“Well, Choco and Lord Leo are familiar faces, right? They’ve shown a lot already. But Lady Lily, I’ve watched the broadcasts many times and I just can’t figure her out.”
The super rookie Lily appeared like a comet.
Just as dazzling were her achievements, she always showcased something new and unique.
The problem is, she’s still revealing new abilities.
“It feels like it’s just the tip of the iceberg. How should I put it… I feel like she hasn’t shown even 10% of what she has?”
“Definitely, as Luna said, Lily does showcase new sides every time. Plus, this time she obtained the hidden class of ?Sorcerer, didn’t she?”
“That’s right. Just because it’s a hidden class doesn’t mean it guarantees overwhelming efficiency. Lord Leo is also a Spirit Sorcerer, which is generally attainable, and the Sword Saint is just an ordinary swordsman.”
[Most rankers are indeed regular jobs]
[Hidden sounds tempting]
[Isn’t it a bit unfair to say Leo and Sword Saint are exceptions? Haha]
[Those guys have so much build-up, lol]
[Regular can still be super OP if used well]
[Regular jobs (Race and hidden piece decking)]
[It’s hard to argue they’re just humans, haha]
Luna nodded in agreement.
“While hidden classes aren’t always a constant, they are definitely good. Moreover, Lady Lily has shown outstanding abilities even before gaining the hidden class, so I’m really looking forward to this mock siege war!”
“Understood. Now! Before the mock siege war starts, let me explain the schedule and the way it will progress.”
“Got it. Now! Before we start the mock siege war, let me explain the schedule and the process ahead.
Pachin.
Caster Kim Yong-woo’s words transition the screen.
A series of explanations displayed with a neat design.
“Today’s matches between three teams will be a best-of-seven! The first team to score three wins will become the champion of the mock siege war.”
“If one team gets three wins, the other teams will team up to prevent the one with two wins, right?”
“That’s right. If a team has already secured two wins, it’ll be advantageous for others to make sure they don’t win again.”
If any team manages to get three wins first, they win.
If the other two teams have scored 1 point or even 0 points while a dominant team has 2 points, it’s only natural that they’ll target that team first.
‘To knock that team down and determine the winner.’
Kim Yong-woo asked.
“But I know there’s an alliance penalty. Teaming up might be a bit tricky.”
[For real]
[There’s an alliance penalty]
[It’s the loser protection law lol]
[Yeah, but Lily will wrap it up with 3 wins and 0 losses~]
[Hahahahahaha]
Lacl shook his head.
“No, the basic rule is that while an alliance provides advantages to non-allied teams, if any one team secures ‘2 points’, the related advantages disappear.”
“If that’s the case, it definitely makes it harder for one team to run away with it, right?”
“Exactly. I think it’s almost impossible to get three consecutive wins. That’s how I see it.”
Hmm…
‘With the alliance penalty gone.’
It indeed seems a bit difficult to achieve a flawless victory in three matches.
The reason why it was possible to have 4 to 8 or even 1 to 8 was due to the opponents being ranked hundreds, or other users.
If low-ranked rankers band together using various synergies, it could become problematic.
Of course, I’m strong, and my team isn’t weak compared to other teams at all.
But the ‘core’ remains the same.
No matter how strong you are, if the core is broken, it’s game over.
Unless we focus solely on defense, defeating both teams with a small number of players is almost impossible.
[But Lily will still win lol]
[Let’s write the legend of 1 vs 8 one more time]
[But this time, I really can’t tell]
[How do we block the stronger Leo + Dinosaur combo?]
[Breaking through the impossible is what Lily does lol]
[I’m excited]
[Seriously, Leo’s team is insane ;;]
[We need to make it 2 points and then wrap it up]
After that, a simple introduction of the players followed, along with a description of the selection process shown previously.
It looked even more refined and developed than before.
Finally, the Grand General doll shattered the core to conclude the explanation.”
The soldier doll finished explaining as it smashed the core.
Clap clap clap clap clap.
[Geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez]
[Geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez, geez]
[Waaahhh]
[When do we start?]
[Hurry up, hurry up]
[Ugh, I’m getting dizzy]
[Lololololololol]
[Are we starting?]
Kim Yong-woo shouted loudly.
“Alright! Then the long-awaited first match of the mock siege war! Now~~~~~ it begins!!!”
[Let’s go~~~~]
[Two for the price of one]
[Two for two!]
[Lolololol]
[Starting~~~~~~]
[Takes a seat]
[Lily, win!]
[Ultimately, the winner will be Leo lol]
[I will do my best~~~~]
[Wow]
“Let’s go!”
“Let’s head out.”
“Phew… I’m nervous.”
With a dazzling firework display, the first match began.
■
Blue particles engulfed us.
Before we knew it, we had moved to the stage of the siege war.
At the top of the castle, a blue flag was fluttering.
“That’s the blue team.”
“If it’s the blue team, they must be the team at the very top, right?”
“First, let’s take down the Blue Orc and Turtle Knight quickly. The opposing team is no joke, so it’s better for those two to defend.”
Teammates quickly devised a strategy as soon as the match began.
Since the opponent is formidable, we couldn’t just proceed haphazardly like during a scrim.
We have to face off against those with superior synergy and strategy.
We decided to send seven of the ten soldiers to the resource tower to monitor the surroundings.
By the way, the soldiers were originally meant to be managed by regular users, but for the smooth progress of the match, they were replaced with NPC soldiers.
The key to this mock siege war is the General and the Grand General.
I gave the map a quick spin with my spear.
Crossing the river leads to a vast ‘forest’ connected to three teams.
Heading into the center brings us to ‘plains,’ and at the core lies the boss of this siege war, Raizaka.
It’s not wise to face Raizaka right away.
With my current spec, gaining a level or having about 3-4 buffs would make hunting relatively easy, but the opponent is made up of top rankers.
The moment we try to capture it, they will undoubtedly notice, and it would clearly lead to an attack on either my side or the base.
Sure, Black, Redberry, and Devil are strong too, but if our biggest force is out, the outcome could be uncertain.
‘I lose if the core is broken, even if I survive.’
For now, I’ll have to pretend I’m not interested.
Above all…
‘I doubt much will change from eating.’
I turned my head and addressed everyone.
“First, let’s go with Plan B.”
“Plan B?”
“Got it.”
“Sounds good. That’s actually better.”
We quickly moved our bodies.
We were now at the second of the plans, Plan F that Lily’s team had set up.
‘Eliminate one team quickly.’
■
“Dinosaur!”
“……”
“Dinosaur!!!!”
“Ugh! Yes, yes! Ready?!”
At the castle located at the left end, the ‘Leo Team’ was preparing for battle under a purple flag.
The tanker Iron and mage Freytion had already left the castle for the soldiers’ escort and leveling up.
All that was left were Leo, wrapped in spirits, and the ‘Dinosaur is Alive’ who had just woken up.
As he got up, the bear that always accompanied him roared to greet its master.
By the way, there were not a single soldier around the castle.
Even though having soldiers provides various buffs and surveillance advantages for defense, there was a reason not a single one was stationed.
“We’ve finished our preparations while you were sleeping. Now wake up!”
“…Yes.”
‘Summon Group.’
Boom boom boom!
The earth awakens.
No, it was like a ‘group’ that awoke to the extent that one could mistake it for a waking.
Oooooo!
Kieeeeee!!!!
Grrrr…
The summoned spirits blessed with attributes rise up, and the power and defense of the Druid, Dinosaur is Alive are enormously amplified.
Flap.
And finally.
The most powerful being that could turn the tide of this mock siege war.
The biggest reason everyone feared this combination.
“Wow! Is this really happening?!”
“…I didn’t think it would work either.”
A gigantic creature radiating colorful and brilliant energy covered the sky.
Now this place had become a heavenly fortress.
“Now, this place will never break as long as I’m alive.”
“Joah! Then I’m off!”
“Where are you going?”
In response to Dinosaur’s question, Leo answered cheerfully as if daydreaming.
“Revenge.”
■
“…Revenge? What do you mean?”
“I can’t live having lost.”
As Yena, who had just finished preparing for hunting, asked, the golden spear began to spin rapidly.
The spear spun several times faster than usual.
Thwack!
“The time has finally come.”
