Chapter 66: 66

Another testament to useless realism in games. If so, it was obvious that Matsushige was the one who wrote the chivalry.

“Mame Hana-nim?”

“Yes. I always hunt together with Hana-chan. I am her knight. My life will always be her-.”

“Ma-chaaaan!”

What was this all of a sudden? Leeha felt the absurdity of what they were doing. He said that it was chivalry, so it could only be used on ladies? If they wanted it to be realistic, they should have done it right!

Mame Hana was a sister! If you turn to religion, she was not a lady (noble)! Leeha shook his head. No, what was he thinking right now?

‘Anyway, I don’t think it was on purpose… that’s just great. They should have brought it up when they took the lead.’

Leeha sighed and finally started talking about the thing he wanted to say.

“Phew, I see. I won’t ask for anything else, but make sure you manage your slash aggro. Depending on the situation, I will also slow down the attack tempo a bit.”

“Yep. I don’t know what to do with Ha Leeha-nim needing to pay attention to aggro. I’m sorry.”

Dealer’s initiative.

The leader of the party was still Matsushige, however, he had revealed the composition of his skills and the one with the right to command was now Leeha.

It was necessary for Leeha right now.

Whether they knew or not that the initiative had been passed to Leeha, Matsushige just bowed his head with joy that he was forgiven.

“No. Let’s start again. I hope we get along well.”

“Yes, Ha Leeha-nim. I will work hard to manage aggro.”

Leeha didn’t just bring it up to talk about aggro.

‘The timing of reloading is quite noticeable…’

‘No matter how fast I reload, it still takes 50 seconds. There’s a skill that reduces it to 30 seconds, but it has a long cooldown and cannot be used at any time, so I should save it. For urgent battle situations, one step at a time.’

Leeha continued to feel Mame Hana and Matsushige’s eyes looking at him secretly.

Why are they looking? What was it?

Of course, Leeha did not bring it up, the quick-witted Leeha knew that one day, they would have no choice but to fight for leadership when hunting.

And with aggro and tanking as an excuse, Leeha completely took the initiative.

‘It would be much easier to hunt.’  Leeha followed Matsushige and smiled.

“Did we pass the middle of the mountain now?”

“Yes, you can’t see any of the scouts we saw in the base of the mountain, can you?? Now we are at the top. The guards will start to come out, so we have to be careful.”

Matsushige whispered.

Even near a mountain worm, a scout team consisting of two kobold scouts and one warrior could be seen, however, at some point, they could no longer be seen.

‘Now there will be guards.’

A group of 3 monsters composed of 2 kobold warriors and 1 kobold archer or kobold shaman.

They still have crude pieces of equipment, but compared to the kobolds before, they were definitely holding swords and shields.

‘In other words, there are two tankers and one dealer. It’s funny because it’s going to be a 3v3 fight against kobolds.’

If this was how this works in the kobold region, one can imagine what would happen in the future. This made Leeha think that solo play was almost impossible in the first place.

“Wait until they pass.”

Leeha, Matsushige, and Mame Hana waited patiently. The moment the kobolds finished patrolling, Leeha’s party started to run.

“Run! Run!”

If they went near the village entrance and dragged one or two kobold guards at a time, they would get a better experience, and their hunting efficiency would also be better.

Fortunately, the kobold guards did not find Leeha’s party.

After that, they passed through the guard’s patrol areas several times, but thanks to other parties hunting around, Leeha’s party passed safely.

It took about 1 hour and 40 minutes of climbing to finally arrive.

“Let’s see.”

There were more than a hundred small huts that even small children could live in.

‘It is definitely huge. Isn’t it too much?’

The barriers surrounding the village were also widely spread out, which seemed to speak of the size of the Hijuit Kobold tribe of Sheymoore Mountain.

‘In other words, the greater the number of troops, the greater the confusion once the commander disappears.’

Roughly speaking, Leeha realized why this mission was important.

If the chieftain dies, it will take some time for the commander to be restored with the news of his sudden death.

In the meantime!

That being said, the chieftain will respawn separately from the progress of the story. And there was a high possibility that ‘something’ won’t happen either.

“Haha, Indeed… this is for snipers… So, that cave inside is an old mine, isn’t it?”

“Yes. It has the strongest defense because it is a warehouse and nursing facility for kobolds. In fact, you won’t be able to break through it unless you have a raid team.”

Matsushige, who lifted his helmet, was very wary that they might be found.

Leeha also observed the kobold village with only his eyes sticking out of the bushes.

‘It’s nice to be able to look downwards because of our high vantage point…’

But it’s hard to see inside. It was advantageous for hunting, but it was not a place where Leeha could do his quest.

‘It would be nice if only we could go to the place where we could see the center of the town.’

Although he looked at the screenshots, he did not see any sniping positions in person.

Based on Leeha’s judgment, there were two areas where the chieftain of the Hijuit Tribe could live.

In the heart of the town, or in front of the entrance of the iron mine.

However, both of them were nowhere to be seen from where they were hiding now.

‘I have to move after all…’

Judging by seeing it in person, he thought that sniping would be more difficult.

However, Leeha did not give up.

It was definitely hard to find a sniping location right now. However, Browless clearly used the word ‘snipe’, and for that reason, he gave this quest.

‘The hidden quest was nothing more than [Browless’ expectations].’

Of course, it would be difficult. However, being difficult and having no way is completely different.

“Now then, shall we start hunting?”

At Leeha’s words, Matsushige and Mame Hana nodded.

They were 80 meters away from the village. Leeha slowly crawled forward.

‘Kung, it’s quite difficult to cross the 50-meter range.’

Even without the sense of distance, one could still feel the difference between 50m and 80m.

Even civilians could feel it. In the end, one can’t just shoot from where they are hiding.

Leeha moved carefully.

He had to move carefully through the bushes to shoot the kobolds and then go back to Matsushige and Mame Hana.

In other words, Leeha was in charge of pulling the monsters.

However, he had no intention of going to the 50-meter point.

The difference between 50m and 80m was easy to notice, even for Mame Hana and Matsushige, but if it’s the difference between 50m and 65m, it would be hard to notice.

‘There is no need to go further and take a risk.’

The distance was approximately 62m – 63m.

“Kobold guard… Let’s test it first.”

Leeha, who arrived at the target point while crawling, aimed at the kobold guard.

According to the data, he collected so far, his accuracy at that distance was 75%. Compared to the 50% accuracy rate at 40m when the combat assistance system is turned on, it was incomparably high, however, it was not satisfactory for Leeha.

‘Calm Mind.’

[Beginner’s Calm Mind(Lv.3)]

Description: The more you aim at a moving target, the calmer you need to be.

When he calmed down, his hands stopped shaking.

Effect: Accuracy increases by 17% for 3 seconds

Mana: 50

Cooldown: 30 minutes

The skill that only increased accuracy by 15% at level 1 has risen to 17%, but he had no time to be happy.

As soon as he used the skill, his armpits tightened. His elbow and forearm supported the musket without shaking. In an instant, he had 92% accuracy, but there was no time to lose.

Taaang—!

The musket spewed a lot of white smoke.

The entrance to the Hijuit Kobold village on Sheymoore Mountain.

The role of the guard guarding the entrance was a position that could only be obtained by those who were large and strong even in the Hijuit Kobold Tribe.

In addition, it was a job that had a good working environment because one did not have to go out of town.

Besides, he was a 132cm tall guard that competed for first or second place in the Hijuit Tribe.

It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the number one son-in-law.

Kui——-!

“Kuwaat-!”

Startled by the sudden sound he twisted his spear, but he suddenly felt the strength getting drained from its hand.

“Kuwat-! Ka- my leg hurts.”

The pain was enough to even miss that he dropped his spear.

He knew how shameful it was to drop ones’ spear, but it was so painful that he couldn’t think about it.

And the guard knew who did it.

“Human-! There’s a human!”

The guard immediately looked up to find its enemy.

He found traces of a human 65m away. Smoke clouds rose into the air. A man lying down caught its eyes.

However, his legs did not move properly.

“Kaat, leg- Kaa. Kaa-!”

A kobold guard himself, he had many times more muscle than weaker kobold workers. He was born a hero, and he had not experienced pain, so he did not know this kind of situation.

“Human, kill!”

He barely managed to grab an object in the shape of a spear and skewer and started moving his feet.

Limp, limp.

However, the thing that pierced his thigh did more damage than he thought.

“Kuwat-! Guard, help, kill humans!”

“Ka- Ka-! Catch human!”

Normally, he would go alone, but in this case, he had no choice. The guard summoned a colleague that was working with him and went towards the human together.

Taaang—-!

“Kaat!”

Hearing the sound, the guard felt a burning sensation in his wound, but that was all. There was no additional pain.

“Ka?”

“Kaat, ka……. Ka-.”

And he noticed. The colleague he called over also had a hole in his thigh.

“Kat, human, kill, Kat”

“Ka- ka-!”

The two kobolds limped and pulled their sore legs towards the human, but they could not narrow the distance so easily.
