YM778.TV Chapter 248
The large, elongated animal pattern drawn on the mass of their main ship at the forefront was a picture that no sailor could understand.
“S-s-sea serpent! ‘The serpent fleet! Kraven’s strongest fleet is aproooooaching-!”
Even after gathering all Fibiel’s battleships on Dike Beach, they only had around 300 ships.
Hearing the NPC at the watchtower shouting, the Fibiel users were at a loss for words.
“Break their barriers! Unleash your attacks!”
“Concentrate all your magic in one place! Do not use range magic, destroy their barrier with a single attack!”
The wizards flew into the air at the battalion commander users’ shouts. Siege warfare in Middle Earth did not require a separate siege weapon. Magicians above a certain level each have the same effect as a de facto siege weapon.
And magicians are popular professions in almost every game.
In other words, it meant that there are now over 200,000 magicians out of the over 1 million Fibiel users in front of the southern wall of Minis’ Castle Rainie.
“It’s really amazing……”
Looking at the floating magicians filling the sky, Leeha couldn’thelp but let his mouth fly open.
“Don’t you think tanks and dealers are meaningless in a war with these numbers?
“There’s just a limited amount an individual can do.”
“I know.”
Leeha and Kijeong looked up at the sky. All kinds of magic poured out endlessly and shone brilliantly above their heads.
Not only elemental magic, but also magic with no attributes, even mage jobs that could only used debuffs, evil spirits or curses poured out their attack magic…
“Minis’ army will be in a mess.”
“How many people are in Castle Ranie?” “170 thousand? 180 thousand?”
Boobooobooboooom-!
The sound of magic hitting the barrier resounded throughout the battlefield. However, the castle’s defense certainly had that much power.
Powerful enough to withstand the magic power of 200,000 magicians!
“Have you finished the quest hyung?”
“Yes, I’m done. That’s why I’m here.”
Leeha answered while munching on a sandwich. The castle’s defense in front of them seemed too strong to say that his quest was already finished, but no one, including Leeha, was in a hurry.
Everyone was sitting with their legs outstretched on the grass in a posture as if they were in a movie theatre watching a 3D movie.
“Indeed……. Then the people running over there-”
“Ah! I see that they’re here now. That’s right, those are the ally who crossed over the Sentinel Mountain.”
When Tale pointed in the direction where the dust was rising, Leeha understood.
Due to the strategy of destroying the keystone several times already, the walls and gates of the Fibiel army, which advanced from the Marching Plains, were completely secured.
Therefore, the command that Leeha received this time was to hit another place.
In this siege, Fibiel forces from the Sentinel Mountains, who will finally join their allies, can break through the castle gates of Castle Ranie and enter.
“Haha, is there a riot over there?”
“Yeah. How would you feel if there’s no barrier in the north, which you thought would be there? In addition, the number of Fibiel forces that appeared out of the blue is close to 200,000. It would be quite the dilemma.”
Most importantly the vanguard leading that way was Pei Wu and Kidd.
If the Marching Plains forces were a straight forward march, the Sentinel Mountain forces moved at a speed that was close to a rapid advance. They had a momentum that could wipe out everything that was on their way.
“It will be over in an hour. Let’s go and watch.”
“Yes!”
The Byeolcho Special Forces, who had been sitting in a group while eating snacks, stood up.
As expected, when the Sentinel Mountain forces joind the siege of Castle Ranier, it ended in 40 minutes.
This is because a million troops were able to rush in at once thanks to Kid’s activities, which broke into the northern gate and smashed the southern barrier first.
“Ah, Hyung, I have to take back what I said earlier.”
“What?”
“When I said that a tanker and a dealer could not exert much power.”
“Yea?’
“No matter how much I think about it, Hyung is definitely the exception.”
Kijeong smiled and stretched out his arms. A single individual could exert a presence of equal to a million troops.
Only the Sniper Ha Leeha could take that title.
“Aiish- You’re making other people embarrassed.”
Leeha was embarrassed, but no one in the Byeolcho Special force thought like Leeha. In fact, their party has performed the best throughout the occupation of the five castles so far because of him.
“Ah, my arm hurts.”
“I get it. Let’s go.”
As Kijeong grumbled, Leeha smiled and stretched out his arm.
“Clap-!”
The Byeolcho Special force teleported to the Commander-in-Chief Granville’s tent with a high-five sound.
[You have completed the quest’ Siege Warfare – Minis – Byeolcho Special force mission – 5′.]
[War contribution points earned 1,685.]
[500 additional War Contribution points have been acquired.]
“You’ve come.”
“The Byeolcho Special force have returned after completing our mission.”
“Hmm, well done. Say hello. I heard you already knew each other.”
Granville smiled a little as he greeted the Byeolcho Special force. Since they had already successfully completed several quests, their intimacy had risen to a certain extent.
On the side Granville pointed to, there were a few people that the Byeolcho Special force was familiar with.
“Hao, Ha Leeha-nim! Have you been well?”
“Hello, Pei Wu-nim.”
As Pei Wu greeted Leeha with a hug. It wasn’t like they did not hear any news from the Sentinel Mountain Forces. Even though a whisper wasn’t possible, there was a messenger that could inform the progress of the battle periodically.
Pei Wu was well aware of ‘who’ to thank that they were able to reach this place by spreading it all over the country like this.
“I have heard Ha Leeha-nim’s name a lot. Thanks to you, we were able to come here safely.”
“Hey, it’s thanks to you. I know for sure that Pei Wu-nim and Hwangryong Guild must have been really active to achieve what you have…”
“No, really. It is all thanks to Ha Leeha-nim’s existence that the defense corps of this country could move so arbitrarily. They had hard time protecting the castle. I was deeply impressed by the great martial arts.”
“S-stop it. Your embarrassing me.”
Leeha waved his hands. If it was in a half-teasing tone, he would have laughed, however, it was rather difficult to deal with someone who gave genuine praise with their eyes shining brightly.
It was only after Pei Wu talked to Leeha for a long time that Kidd who was beside him, moved his hat.
“……Did you make a lot of contributions?”
“Contributions? Hehe, I collected enough. How about you Kidd? How manny did you get?”
“It’s a secret.”
And Pei Wu, next to Kidd, snorted.
From the day he heard the news that Leeha had discovered Kaztor’s lab, Kidd worked diligently to abandon the nickname ‘Sleeping’.
Of course, he was already ahead of Leeha in every aspect, including level, but Kidd couldn’t help it in this war.
Rapid fire could be used much more effectively in a group battle with a small number of people, but as Kijeong and Tale thought, in a large-scale war in which an individual’s strength is inevitably weakened, it was natural that the revolver’s power was limited.
“What, then, why didn’t you ask about mine? Well, I can’t even tell you, but I probably collected three times more compared to Kidd-ssi?”
“Tsk- I have already obtained-……. No, I still won’t tell you, trying to trck me.”
“Haha, I don’t know how much you obtained, but I think I got three times more? Tell me. If you tell me how much you got, then I will tell you exactly how much more I have. Aren’t you curious? You’re curious aren’t you?”
“H-hyung! You’re not some kid, right? You’re almost 30…’
When Leeha teased Kidd with an ‘ebebe’ sound, Kijeong quickly stopped him.
Pei Wu, who was the biggest variable in the guild battle against Hwahong, and Kidd, who showed overwhelming skills in the Royal Palace quest. It was a little embarassing to see his hyung, whom he admired, look so childish so he tried to keep him in check.
“Kek, okay. But I can’t help but want to make fun of Kidd when I see him.”
It was a way for Leeha to confirm their intimacy.
Contrary to Kijeong’s worried, fortunately, Kidd also understood Leeha’s feelings, so there wasn’t much of an issue.
“Now, after greeting each other, can you focus now?”
Yes!
The NPCs and users responded to the Commander-in-Chief Granville’s words at once. At the same time, he had already directly commanded 1 million troops. with the addition of Sentinel Mountains and Witchmore Riverside troops, they were now over 1.5 million.
In other words, it meant that even the division commanders who have not yet seen each other’s ways of operation and users with high contribution points were all gathered here.
“Brief.”
“Yes.”
At Granville’s words, an NPC staff came forward.
“We currently have 1.66 million troops gathered! Those arrogant Minis savages are practically on the verge of kneeling before our overwhelming power.”
Ddaak!
When he pointed to the hologram map, the movement of Minis and Fibiel were clearly revealed.
“There are only two castles left until the capital. After just two sieges, our forces will enter their capital. The only thing to note is that the Fox of the Prairie is starting to move.”
The movement of the Minis army was seen in the hologram map again. They observed the enemy forces’ formation so far.
In front of the capital, Minis’ army was forming a huge formation.
“Their number is about 1.2 million. It would have been an uphill battle if our allies from the Sentinel Mountain and Witchmore Riverside had not reached here in time.”
The Marching Plains forces moved toward the capital with the shortest distance using one breaking point.
In other words, the enemies’ defense corps around the occupied castles remained intact.
If the 1.2 million people who gathered in front of the capital faced the 1 million units from the marching plains, and if the detached units from the castles scattered around Minis, and hit Fibiel’s side and rear, it meant that it would become a tiring battle.
‘Indeed……. So at this point, it is necessary to join forces. There are only two castles left, but in reality, we are about to face the final decisive battle. The fact that the
Commander-in-chief of the enemy forces retreated in advance was probably for the preservation of their forces.’
When he could completely encircle Fibiel’s main force in one shot, only for that time would the retreat have begun in advance from the Marching Plains.
However, Fibiel forces were one step faster!
Allies from the surrounding areas have already arrived, and above all, Leeha’s activities made it hard for the detached units to play an active part. With their clumsy detachment, they are unable to avoid Fibiel’s eyes all over Minis.
In other words, they could get beaten if they become careless.
‘If the plan to encircle the enemy by luring them in is not done, it will be a fatal blow. And-‘
The strategy laid out by the Fox of the prairie will turn awry.
Those in the tent had no choice but to think so at this point.
“Prepare to advance as soon as our supplies arrive.”
Yes!
Fibiel’s Pillar, Granville.
If it was one step at a time, repeating the basic tactics, no one would be stronger than him.
According to Granville’s orders, as soon as the supply arrives, they will now move on to the final stages of the war.
After explaining the current situation of the war, the meeting, which consisted of greeting each other and refining operational plans, was quickly over.
“The Ram sisters are really amazing……
“What?”
After the meeting, Kijeong sighed.
“This huge operation was only possible because of the strong support of Ram Hwayeon’s supply line. It is really crazy. Do daughters of a Chaebol family learn about such things?”
“She isn’t that strong alone. There are many people in the Ramlong group.”
“Phew. It’s amazing that we were able to fight those women.”
“Right, Kijeong, you’re guild is really great. Aside from Castle Dale, other cities are being conquered by Hwahong.”
“Really? Wow… Ah, by the way hyung.”
“Huh?”
“Will the war really end like this? With Fibiel’s victory I mean?”
“…… That’s right. I’m rather worried about that too. Aren’t we getting a little too ahead of ourselves?”
At Kijeong’s question, Leeha tilted his head and smiled.
The tactics of the Fox of the prairie luring them in were now somewhat understood.
And they thought that they could win through this. Then? Minis will be over!
