“Huh. So you’re going to be the Grand General…”
Blak, sitting in the team leader position and watching Lily’s interview, was lost in thought.
The entire plan for the simulated siege war was centered around the Grand General.
There was a high likelihood that the matches would focus more on the Grand General rather than just the generals, and thus, he, Leo, and Chuka Chip in their team leader positions were sure to shine.
However, if Lily or Yena could team up with others, the synergy could rise like a dinosaur is alive.
And even though it didn’t receive the spotlight, the unpredictable presence of Laguiel from the Angel Guild was still a concern.
But…
“The Grand General is changing.”
That changes the game a bit.
The carefully planned balance could potentially be tossed out the window.
Yet, it was also an unreasonable task to stop Lily from taking on this Grand General challenge.
How much effort did he put in to draw Lily into the simulated siege war, and how much budget was spent?
In front of numerous people, she declared her intention to participate as Grand General, and he couldn’t just say that it was not allowed now.
“Does she have confidence?”
However, despite that, in the end, to be the Grand General, she needed to beat the team leader.
No matter how exceptional her skills were, could she really defeat a handful of rankers?
“What do you think, Lord Leo?”
“Me?!”
Leo, who had been focused solely on Lily, turned to Blak in surprise.
“I’m asking if you think Lady Lily can actually beat the team leaders.”
“Well… It won’t be easy, that’s for sure.”
Leo fiddled with a spirit while staring intently at Lily.
Lily, still undergoing an additional interview.
“…But I don’t think it is impossible! Of course, in the current state, we would win, but if it’s a balanced match? Who knows?”
“Is that so?”
“I believe so! But I’ll still choose Lady Lily, of course.”
Whether she was the Grand General or not, what did it matter?
Leo had already taken a liking to Lily and was determined to select her no matter what.
“Of course, the Grand General position will be decided by the match.”
That was that. They had to have the match.
He wanted to see how it would play out.
“I see. So…”
Blak’s gaze shifted.
Right beside him sat Chota Choka Chuka Chip, exuding an uneasy energy.
Chuka Chip.
“Choco.”
“No way… Huh? Why?”
“Are you okay?”
“Of course?”
Hahah! She excessively shrugs her shoulders while smiling.
But she doesn’t look okay.
“What do you think?”
“Well. Lily? No way, right? Of course we’ll win!”
Chuka Chip growls with the mic turned off.
Black nodded at her unchanged demeanor.
“You still have great confidence.”
“Of course. Who am I? No matter how good Lady Lily is, she can’t beat me.”
“So what will you do? Are you going to pick Lady Lily?”
“……”
“Well, I’m the organizer too, so I’m not saying anything in particular. Just curious.”
“…I don’t know.”
Chuka Chip suddenly turns her head.
Lily’s interview is about to wrap up.
“To be honest, her skills are good, but I think she’s a bit too greedy. I’ll need to think more about the selection.”
“Got it. Pick as you like.”
“Yeah.”
…Damn.
■
“The player interviews have all been completed, with Lady Lily being the last. Now, onto the much-anticipated highlight?”
“That’s right. We are now left with just the team selections.”
“This team’s selection will be structured just like before, with members grouped by line.”
As the commentator speaks, the screen shifts.
At the very top, three players are seated at the team leader’s table, and below, three player seats arranged in a triangle facing each other.
In the player seats, three players are seated just like at the team leader’s table.
“Okay, the first line is ‘Tanker’.”
The screen zooms in on the first player seats.
Two burly muscle guys and one much smaller little guy.
The smaller one raises his hands threateningly in response to the overwhelming roar, but he doesn’t look threatening at all.
[Devil is so cute]
[Devil lol]
[Devil sitting between two muscle guys… that’s kind of precious]
[That Iron’s muscles are growing bigger every day ;;]
[Isn’t he going to grow as big as an Ogre?]
[This round also belongs to the Devil]
[Shield is so strong; being charged at by the shield will cause a long stun]
“Wow, just looking at them feels reassuring.”
“First of all, the Tanker line is the line that firmly protects from the front! Body-enhanced Iron! The Truck Shield with the power of a truck! And um… Black Flame Dragon Devil? It’s structured like this.”
“The God of Darkness! The God of Darkness, I tell you! These humans!”
The God of Darkness, no, Devil, lets out a fierce roar.
God of Doom, no. Devil.
Caster laughed heartily at the sight and spoke.
“Got it. Including our God of Darkness, Devil! This is a solid lineup!”
“Basically, professions specialized in defense have superior defense compared to those using other weapons.”
“That’s right. I think the tankers will play an important role this time. At least that’s what I believe.”
“Alright. Next up is the ranged dealer line, right?”
Next screen.
Two with white hair and one with red hair.
Freytion, Laguiel, and Redberry. This makes up the ranged dealer line.
[Laguiel! Laguiel! Laguiel! Laguiel! Laguiel! Laguiel!]
[The Seven Great Angels are definitely OP hahaha]
[Redberry is pretty]
[Honestly, Laguiel could probably handle two opponents ㅇㅈ?]
[For real lol]
[Redberry is quite strong too]
[Laguiel is on another level magically, so who knows]
[No seriously lol Freytion, notice me too]
[The sky is falling]
“In this kind of team game, you can’t leave out the ranged dealers!”
“That’s right. Two mages and one archer. Their professions might seem a bit common, but their skills and uniqueness are widely recognized.”
“Especially, we should look forward to the performance of Laguiel, who is part of the Angel Guild.”
Laguiel scratched his white head awkwardly at the comment from the commentator.
As a renowned member of the Seven Great Angels, he was sure to show off some skills.
“Finally… our much-anticipated ‘special’ line!”
“No, we’re not just leftovers! Don’t get it wrong!”
Hahahahaha─
[Hahahahaha]
[The leftovers line hahaha]
[Leftovers (totally fierce)]
[Leftovers (the opponent is actually the leftovers)]
[Lily, Yena, Dinosaur? Did the team leader gather them?]
[Ah, if Yena is in the same line, then the two teams can’t do anything]
[Ah]
[The delightful rebellion of the leftovers begins]
[Hahahahahaha]
[The cheerful rebellion lol]
A boy, resembling a high school student leaning against a giant bear.
And Yena, striking with her red eyes and assassin outfit, along with the ever-constant Lily catch the eye.
“It seems safe to say that the core this time is the ‘special’ line.”
“Assassin, Spearman, Druid. They are all professions that slightly deviate from the norm. Therefore, it’s something to look forward to seeing what kind of synergy happens when they join forces with their team leader.”
“Particularly, what we should keep an eye on is the Spirit and Druid.”
“That’s right. Especially because the number one choice, Lily, and Dinosaur is Alive are in the same line! It looks like Leo has a higher chance of picking Dinosaur is Alive.”
“Since Lily, the first priority player, and Dinosaur Is Alive player are on the same line, it seems Leo’s chances of picking Dinosaur Is Alive are also increasing.”
As a result, for Leo, picking either Lily or Dinosaur would bring no disadvantage.
[Is Leo not going to pick Lily?]
[I want to see the Lily combination, ugh]
[Lily lily]
[If I can’t pick Lily, I’ll pick Dinosaur instead]
[Leo, Dinosaur isn’t bad either, haha, the balance is just the problem]
[Leo, Lily Origin Day 1]
“Alright! Now that we’ve finished introducing each line, team leaders, please step forward.”
The players seated at the team leader position quickly walk to the front of the plaza stage.
Some are using spirits, some are using body abilities, and others are utilizing skills.
Facing each other at the castle models.
In the center of the castle, a die made up of three sides rises on a small flat surface.
The sides painted in the colors representing their respective castle flags.
[It’s a die!]
[King die, haha]
[As expected, team selection is all about luck]
“We will roll the die, and based on the side that comes up, the team leaders will pick in a clockwise order.”
And for fairness….
The die hovers in the air, held by the caster, Kim Yong-woo.
“If the team leaders roll it themselves, there could be some minor misunderstandings, so I will roll it myself.”
[Kim Yong-woo is recognized]
[For real, haha]
After a brief pause, Kim Yong-woo looked at the quiet plaza stage.
All three team leaders were staring at him intensely.
“It seems like the team leaders are quite nervous.”
“Perhaps what Lily said before felt a bit heavy.”
“I’m looking forward to it. Now, I will roll.”
Gulp.
The die that everyone is watching finally gets rolled.
Soaring through the air, all eyes are glued to it, and finally, the die starts to land.
Thud, thud…
“Oh.”
“The first one is Chota Choka Chuka Chip! It’s the team leader!”
Well, that’s a disaster.
