Chapter 268: 268

“Oh… are you trembling, sir? This is the power of the ‘hammer’ you will be dealing with,” 

Chiyou managed to ask and collect the crystal ball. She knew that Alexander would not let it pass if he found out she had spied on him again. If she showed him this moment, she wouldn’t need to show him anything else. Ewin, the Fox of the Prairie, was trembling.

“The great war 20 years ago…”

“Oh?”

“It’s like the nightmare from 20 years ago. It’s uncomfortably strong.”

Is the NPC thinking about the demon king’s attack? Seeing Ewin’s smile, Chiyou finally regained her own smile.

 “But this time, that ‘nightmare’ is on our side. Isn’t that different? I’m waiting for your instructions, sir.”

“T-That’s right. Signal! Tell the left and right wings to move now! And raise the flare! Whip the flank more! We’ll build the last encirclement while our hammer crushes the enemy!”

“Understood! We’ve already made contact.” 

Ewin knew he was going to be pushed back in the struggle against Granville. Therefore, he made the left and right wings fall back little by little.

In the situation where the Minis Defense Forces were united in an O-shape and the Fibiel forces were wrapped around them in a U-shape, his plan was to turn the left and right sides to stand together.

Of course, Minis’ left and right wings, which have already been pushed back, can’t move forward like that. Because the Fibiel forces aren’t standing still.

Therefore, additional troops are needed. If a signal is given, they can run immediately.

Pheeeew… peong! Peong!

Signal flares fired high into the sky and the dust that had been slowly rising from both ends of the Minis and Fibiel frontlines rose even more intensely.

There were a total of 200,000 defenders scattered throughout Minis. What if Minis’ main forces move when 100,000 each from the left and right flanks are pushing Fibiel?

The U-shaped Fibiel army would turn into an M-shape.

“Chiyou, what about the rear?”

“They’re currently entering Minis. I told them to increase their speed.”

“Tell them not to rush. I just want the ‘fog’ and the troops to be well prepared.”

In that situation, Faust and Crowley will block the back.

A combination of alchemy and magic that even a semi-ranker couldn’t withstand properly, and an army of undead and golems that respawn even after death.

“Uhut, you’re not saying that we’re going to drive Fibiel’s forces to them instead of making them come to our rear, are you?”

The original goal was to close the empty back when they come. However, Ewin said there was no need for that. Rather, it would be strategic to set them up early and drive the enemy toward them.

“It’s unavoidable. I can’t do anything with the hammer running like that. After about two more hours, ask them to open the ‘anvil’. Ah, and tell them to come back with the hammer too. Even so, shouldn’t he be consistent with the movement of the troops? I can’t control the hammer that left my hand.”

“I understand, sir.”

Ewin’s voice was fast, but it didn’t feel rushed at all. Rather, his voice was filled with thrill and excitement, and he was finally able to find leisure. The joy and pleasure when one’s plan comes true. A flexible strategy worthy of the nickname “fox of the prairie” was unfolding.

***

“H-how the hell am I supposed to stop that!”

“Commander-in-Chief! Give us instructions – give us strategical orders!”

“Aish, what about our wizards? They could fly as well! I-“

“It’s a dog’s death!”

There was a commotion around Granville. The urgency of various users was mixed with the urging of the advisor, and an uneasy atmosphere was blooming in Fibiel’s base.

“Biyemi-nim, by any chance, can you match that skill? Sealing that magic.”

“Kiskis, I can’t. I can’t even reach that height, and my magic won’t be able to match the dragon’s mana.”

“Well, then what should we do? Should we just suck our fingers? Our- our allies are dying!”

Hearing Biyemi’s answer, Kijeong shook his head. Alexander showed the strength that he had warned Granville about.

“Don’t underestimate me.”

The force that ordinary users couldn’t compete with was really close to the power of a god.

With just Bailephus flying low, users around level 100 flew in all directions. Just by waving the gold dragon’s tail, their vision turned black. When he roared, the mana he was casting scattered in the air, and when his eyes shot out, dealers stopped moving.

All of this was purely the power of a dragon’s “body”. What if magic was added to it?

Bailephus, while casting 15 flame strikes simultaneously and scattering the magic while diving, was nothing short of a missile

There was nothing that could prevent the attack of a modern weapon unfolding in the Middle Ages. Alexander’s spear was held high, and he looked down at the other users with an air of absolute power. This alone made it impossible for the other users to raise their heads.

“There is no concept of frontline,” said Tale, wanting to sigh. Biyemi managed to make a sound of resignation, but it was not a laugh out of joy. It was only a disguised laugh to soothe himself.

“It’s not just the frontline. There’s no concept of strategy or tactics… there’s none…….What’s the use of strategizing in this situation?” 

Ram Hwayeon barely managed to hold back her desire to sit down. She had always been by Granville’s side and heard information about the strategy of the troops in this battle – how the left wing moved, how the right wing moved, and the gap between the central army, etc. It all lost meaning.

The frontline was broken by Alexander and Bailephus mercilessly from midair. One hundred, two hundred users evaporated in an instant, and the vacant space was filled with Minis troops.

The power of one person can change the battle map of 3 million people.

That was possible in Middle Earth.

Among the 100 million cumulative subscribers, the top ranker, Alexander, was sitting at the top.

“Is everyone just watching?”

It could be said that they were forced to resign. While everyone was staring blankly at Alexander, one man stepped forward.

“It’s interesting. I wonder what that person who is not here will say when he comes back and sees this.”

At those words, fireballs flew into the faces of some people. No, practically every elite knew who it is. Who that someone is that is not here was.

“Leeha-hyung…”

Not to mention Kijeong, Tale, Biyemi, Ram Hwayeon, and Pei Wu.

Regiment commander-level users and elites, including Ron, also knew. How would he be able to get here quickly?

“R-right. Matan’s Shooter? Where is he?”

“He will come soon.”

Kidd leisurely maintained his revolvers. He made sure his ammunition was full. And checked his skill cooldown.

“He is coming soon? Kidd-nim, is eong-ah coming soon?”

“Of course. Because we have something in common.”

“I-is hyung-nim still in Dike beach?”

“It’s something you don’t know. When he finds out the situation, he will come here immediately.”

Even Kijeong did not get a proper explanation from Leeha. At the time they separated, the only thing that Leeha was to protect commander-in-chief Granville from assassination.

“Is Leeha-hyung coming?”

“Soon. Maybe right away – hmm?”

Crackle, crackle. Noise started to occur around him. Users who looked like they were just sitting and waiting for death began to prop up their equipment.

“We can’t show that person something like this, can we?”

“You are right, Ron-nim. If we pin all our hopes on him and show him we are getting beat up like this, the reputation of our guild will suffer.”

“Patriot guild gather! Gatheeeeer!”

“Rush guild, gather. Even if he is ranked number one with an ancient dragon, aren’t we Fibiel’s elites? If not now, when will we have the opportunity to fight him!”

Ohhhhh-! That’s right! Shit, if Ha Leeha-nim comes!

We also have Pei Wu! And Kidd! It’s at least worth a try!

Kidd and Kijeong smiled at the users’ shouts. A single person’s name, with an uncertain expectation of coming soon, inspired people’s morale.

Pei Wu and Hwangryong, Ron and Rush, and Kijeong and Byeolcho joined forces. Even the masters of the large guilds and the outsiders, about 100 Fibiel users had the flames rekindled in their heart.

“Haa, now I’m ready to fight Alexander.

A person who could finally set the flame appeared.. The crowd’s eyes widened. “Lee Jiwon!”

He wanted to come earleir, but he couldn’t.

The golden dragon’s language magic [Hold], was stronger than normal status abnormalities.

‘It was a status abnormality that lasted more than 6 hours.’

Lee Jiwon arriving at this time so quickly could be considered a miracle.

“So, mr. Hat man over there? When will Ha Leeha-nim come?”

“……You know him?”

“Well, a little? I owe him a debt.”

Lee Jiwon approached Kidd and shrugged his shoulder. The ones who were surprised were Kijeong, Ram Hwayeon, and others who knew Leeha well.

‘Is Leeha-hyung close with Lee Jiwon? Besides, what debt? Could it be that he helped Lee Jiwon? N-no, or is it a debt meant to kill? I don’t know what he does normally!’

Is Leeha acquanted with Lee Jiwon? He didn’t tell me! I wish I could have had him at Castle Dale at least once!’

Kijeong and Ram Hwayeon, who can be considered as the closest to Leeha in their own way, did not know either. No one else, including Tale and Biyemi, could have known.

However, one thing was certain. As far as support was concerned, when Leeha’s name were mentioned, the morale of the people around them rose.

“That person is great, isn’t he?”

“As expected, the rumors about the siege must have been true.”

“With Lee Jiwon as backup, it would be worth a try, but when he gets here…”

Amidst the shouts of users, Lee Jiwon asked Kidd again.

“Don’t you know when he’s coming?”

“I don’t know, but he will probably appear beside me.”

“Hmmm, it’s like chain teleport- but you took everything into account, right ? Unless you’re you’re on the same area-”

“I know.”

The chain teleport between the Three Musketeers transcends the area limitations.

The principle of chain teleport was to go to the target’s location. The locations in the friend window were displayed separately for each area, but the location of the Three Musketeers was not revealed regardless of the area.

 ‘If he sees my skill has been activated, he will come immediately. Huu, this is the first time I miss Luger’s face.’

If Luger came here. Even if Luger approaches Kidd with the momentum to kill him, there would be no way he would miss a bigger target. His gigantic cannon will be directed at the Gold Dragon immediately.

“Lee- Lee Jiwon-nim, can we stop Alexander?”

“Of course! Lee Jiwon-nim alone is a match to Alexander!”

The users slowly approached Lee Jiwon. It was only this morning that he was beaten, but Lee Jiwon did not show any signs.

“If we can’t catch Alexander with this number of people, we should consider Middle Earth as a retarded game. Isn’t that so?”

A smile appeared in Lee Jiwon’s face, who still had a boying look Regardless of the authenticity of his words, the words of the 2nd rank in the game seemed reasonable.

“T-that’s right. Damn it, anyway, what kind of game would it be if only one person has it all?”

“Really. Let’s go! Let’s catch him, everyone!”

“Prepare for flame magic! Don’t even think of blocking the breath with a shield if you don’t want to die!”

Lee Jiwon gave strength to his voice.

They were elites, and a battle against Alexander was not easy. Lee Jiwon quickly and thoroughly explained the points that they needed to be careful of when fighting Alexander.

“And when I give you the signal, only attack Alexander.”

“Alexander? It’s not the gold dragon?”

Lee Jiwon nodded at the question.

“Yes. There’s a way to turn that dragon bastard into a nugget.”

Thinking about the shame from this morning, Lee Jiwon gritted his teeth. Watching the users’ morale boost and work together, Granville stepped forward as well.

“Good. I have no choice but to trust you.”

“What are you going to do, Commander-in-Chief? The strategy-“

“The army is meaningless now. The rest of the troops should retreat first and organize their formation. We’ll have to prepare before Minis troops from the other side arrive. More importantly… Their attacks will not work without Alexander.”

The movement of Minis’ main camp was not noticed yet.

Normally, Granville would go into the enemy camp one step at a time, but this time it was different. Ironically, Alexander’s overwhelming force made Granville not fall into Ewin’s trap.

“At the time when those gathered here will fight with Alexander, I will give the entire army orders to retreat.”

“Understood.”

Ram Hwayeon, who had assumed the role of a messenger, quietly bowed and answered. Seeing this, the elites, including Lee Jiwon, set the signal.

“Let’s go!”

The best of Fibiel and the strongest of Minis and Middle Earth recognized each other. It was already 5 o’clock in the afternoon.
