Chapter 673: 658 Preparations For The Final Battle (I)

Back in the game, the final preparations are almost done for the final raid that Alain devised to tackle the church. Although we just barely kicked the enemy in the nuts, we have to progress our attack to the highest level now as the church also began to work for their own schemes, and it's not looking good.

After we destroyed the golem factory, the church decided that we are indeed a big threat that cannot be ignored. News from the spies that the church started to train and accumulate soldiers to fight. They are gathering and making armies and creating several siege equipment that can scale or destroy high walls.

This alone is not looking good especially for the village knowing that the village has yet to be fully defended by its walls. Not only that but the coronation of the new king for the Luminous Continent is also getting near, it seems the church wanted to show that they are the new powers that can take down the "evil" that lurks and threatens the "peace" that they created.

Because it will be happening sooner, Alain decided that it is indeed time to strike while they are still in preparations for the war and has yet to properly gear up themselves. According to the intel, they will be adequately attacking after 2 months and they can easily destroy the village.

Since we have already increased in numbers, the jobs that we needed to complete slowly dwindled as everyone are eager to get things done. The misfits were actually pretty good at the jobs that they took and they took some of the long tasks trivial like hunting and gathering food. With the Hunter class which specializes in tracking animals, monsters, and herbs, it was a cake in the park.

However, everything is not that smooth sailing in terms of progression.  The rewards are cool and have huge benefits for us. Still, because we are just a handful of players, we are slow in terms of completing everything so compared to the players who side with the anti-rebel faction, it was easy stuff for the job keeps pouring as they undertake quests again and again.

Today, we are going to have a discussion on our final plans. The six others are also with us and the one who is planning the meeting is Sigma herself as she is the one who knows most of the plans and how to make them run. As for me, I didn't bother to become a leading figure of some sort. I know most of the stuff the other faction will do for the final battle as the time for the final battle in the past timeline and the current timeline is just identical, I can already see what the current result is if we go in this path.

Still, I wanted to lay low and just suggest things that would prove useful against the troubles that will arise in the final battle. There are some things that would benefit us more if I don't change much about what the battle went through as the previous battle of the rebels went too well before the Pope appeared and defeated the rebels as a result.

Currently, we are waiting for everyone to arrive. With the meeting covering the possible final battle's boss, it was necessary for everyone to join the meeting. Thankfully, everyone was fine with it as they are now sick of the Luminous Continent and wanted things to end as soon as possible since they also don't want to lose but wanted the quest to end, everyone participated. The moment Popo arrived who was the last one to join us, Sigma started her little report.

"Looks like everyone is finally here... Well then, we should begin this little meeting of ours so that we can plan out the final preparations for the battle. I know that we are still the main force of the rebels but if we wanted the quest to end, we needed to at least show the church that we are not just going to end it with a little bang but with something big that will annihilate them. I have some of the lists that I compiled on what we are planning for the next week and the plans that have been finished and are ready to serve their purpose so that anyone can seek out what was the things I have mentioned. However, we needed recommendations so that our final preparations will go smoothly. Anyone can do so, so please raise your hand if you have any recommendations."

The moment Sigma opened the recommendations, the first one to speak up is Viola.

"How about we just go ahead and assassinate the pope? I am quite capable of doing so and perhaps that will lessen the burden of our problems here."

Everyone facepalmed hearing this suggestion. Viola was confused at the reactions of everyone so I decided to explain things on why this was not gonna be possible.

"Unfortunately, Viola, assassinating the pope is not gonna be possible. Based on the intel we have, the Pope is almost invincible when inside the church and he holds multiple abilities that can easily shoot you down before you can even point your dagger or any weapons at him. It's just physically impossible."

Kylan patted Viola to sit down. "I know that you liked doing assassinations but this will not be a possible thing. If you really wanted to kill him, we have to finish the prerequisites necessary to meet him."

Viola was disappointed but she didn't press on. Her suggestion was not going to work as I remembered in the past timeline that Assassins are the worst class against the Pope as it will be immediately immune before an assassination attempt can be even made.

"Why don't we add cannons on the village walls? I know it wasn't something that involves the final battle but with the enemies keeping on invading us multiple times, once we go and attack the Church in the main capital, the village will be defenseless and the villagers will die as a result of the battle. Without any firepower to defend against sieges and enemies, this village will disappear before we can even invoke any real change."

"That is a good suggestion, Tsuru. However, it's not as easy as it sounded to be. We have tried to do it before but because making cannons is not something anyone knows easily, it was one of our least priorities. The Versatile Class does not even have the capability to create cannons to help out the village," I answered his question as to why there are no cannons available.

"But I can do it, so maybe we should add this as a good addition?" Tsuru smiled.

"Is that true?"Sigma raised her eyebrow.

"Yes. It just turns out that my ability as a Cannoneer is capable enough to duplicate and create cannons that can be used to mount the walls. Anyone who knows how to fight using it will be capable of using it."

"Does it disappear? Is it part of your abilities?" Sigma asked.

"It's just a little passive I have, [Cannon Knowledge]. Due to this passive, I was able to understand the cannons as a result and can now create them. Of course, using real materials and not just some sort of manifestation that will disappear after I deactivated the skill. It will exist until it will be destroyed. Perhaps the Versatile class has that passive skill?" Tsuru then turned to me to check it out.

I frowned for a bit before opening the skill tree for the cannoneer and checked the passives. Unlike what he just said, that passive is not part of my skill tree.
