Episode 54
Orcs filled the west side of town and flocked!
You could counter that momentum head-on, but that was too ineffective.
“If you are going to fight, you have to fight well. It’s not about pushing luck or specs.”
Fafnir recovered from the defensive line.
Skeleton Knight and Bell recaptured the hill with few stone walls remaining, and the Skeleton Soldiers formed a defensive formation there.
“Don’t go forward and hold on, the orcs will come on their own anyway!”
It was as it was said. When the stone walls and hills were blocked, angry orcs rushed in like waves.
The Skeleton Soldiers pretended to be moderately pushed and pulled the Orcs up the hill.
“Chwichwiik!”
“Chwik!”
As more than twenty orcs climbed up like that, the retreating skeleton soldiers launched a counterattack.
“Ta-dak!”
“Exactly!”
As it is, it pushes the orcs out of the stone wall and repeats sucking in the orcs that come up again.
-Experience gained.
– Acquired Contribution.
– Acquired Contribution.
– You have defended the base.
-Acquired additional contribution.
‘As expected.’
Fafnir grinned.
‘As expected, Skeleton Soldiers can hold out against Easy Mode Orcs.’
Fafnir’s Skeleton Soldiers have been strengthened with various buffs and hidden pieces.
In addition, as the orcs were weakened in Easy Mode, a similar one-on-one composition came out.
‘It’s an enjoyable event, so the experience won’t decrease too much, but the difficulty drops significantly.’
The event point acquisition rate may drop slightly, but Fafnir’s points are already overwhelmingly number one.
didn’t care too much.
“Tadadak!”
“Chwiik!”
As time passed, skeleton soldiers wearing their own armor and weapons began pushing the Orcs back.
“Kahahahahaha!”
Skeleton Knight Louie gathers Orc heavy infantry, followed by Pandaemonium Nependeath surging from there.
-Experience gained.
– Acquired Contribution.
-genocide!
-Acquired additional contribution.
Contribution and experience came in bundles with each fight.
The more Fafnir did, the more excited he swung his sword.
“wow… … .”
“That guild is really good at fighting.”
“Are they real soldiers?”
For the users in the rear, the blade came in and out of the neck!
“I lived thanks to those people.”
“So that’s what I mean.”
It was a group of users who could not even imagine that they were skeleton soldiers.
matter of course.
It didn’t make sense that there were skeleton soldiers fighting one-on-one against orcs.
It was then.
“What are you doing?”
A blonde female knight appeared in front of the users. It was Penelope sent by Fafnir.
“Fear not, I will fight with you!”
Flutter, Penelope shouted, raising the flag.
“Pikemen line up, and you guys recapture the watermill and general store. I will block them from the front line.”
“Hey, knight… … .”
“It’s a sudden quest!”
– Under the command of a noble knight.
– Tenacity has increased by 30.
-HP increased by 150.
– Stamina has increased by 20.
Users thought Penelope was an NPC and followed and attacked.
The Orcs, whose momentum had weakened, began to be pushed back by the attacks of the users.
“Keep moving forward!”
In the meantime, the Skeleton Soldiers attacked the Orcs’ headquarters.
Fafnir stood in the forefront and fought alongside. Summon on the spot when the Skeleton Bottle is broken while cutting down the Orcs!
As the number of Skeletons did not decrease even after killing them, the expression of the Orcs showed fear.
“Do, run away, Chwik!”
“Chwiiik!”
Eventually the orcs retreated. They abandoned the bases they had occupied and headed back.
Having won the battle like that, Fafnir gathered the skeleton soldiers.
“I’ll have to go somewhere else now.”
The Flanders front was more than ten kilometers long in all directions. If one part is blocked and you catch your breath, another hole will open in succession.
“Now, wait a minute!”
A group of users approached Fafnil, who was replenishing the dead skeleton soldier.
“thank you. I live thanks to you.”
“No, what?”
“Do you have a nickname… … .”
“I will tell you about that later. Things are urgent right now.”
“Ah yes.”
Fafnil shook his head and moved. After a while, I started seeing Orcs coming from other fronts.
‘Isn’t it close to being late?’
After fighting for less than 5 minutes, they fought again.
Fafnir roamed the wires infested with orcs and drove the orcs without hesitation like a firefighter putting out a fire.
A tremendous forced march that fights non-stop for several hours.
The characteristic that the undead were not tired was of great help at this time.
By the time the number of Orcs he had killed exceeded 2,000, a message appeared to all the users.
-End of the Battle of Flanders Front (Day 1).
-Victory is the ‘Kingdom of Baran’.
– The Kingdom of Baran has defended the Flanders Front.
– Scores are calculated for each player.
-The score will be maintained until the end of the event.
-Honor and glory to the heroes who defended the kingdom!
-Today’s MVP of the frontline is… … . This is ‘Fafnil’. Congratulations.
* * *
Fafnir hunted over 2,000 Orcs.
Orcs were quickly scattered by the Skeleton Soldiers’ defense and the Skeleton Knight’s attack attacking the main base and rear!
“No, who is he?”
“well. He looks like a necromancer, but it’s the first time I’ve seen him fighting in front rather than replenishing troops from behind.”
“I think I saw him on the Flanders front two days ago. Even back then, a certain necromancer took a skeleton soldier and a female knight and fought like this. This time, I think they are the same person.”
“Ah, that sword-wielding necromancer!”
Players on the frontline looked forward from the rear camp and admired Fafnir’s movements.
Fafnir’s sword moved like a snake and cut down the Orcs.
Being the only living human, he stood out among the skeleton soldiers!
“But they fight really well.”
“real… … . Is it a movie?”
The fights between wizards, warlocks, and necromancers are quite comfortable.
Summoned items and tanks will protect you from the front, so if you fire powerful magic or replenish your summons from the rear, you will do your part.
However, when such a class is combined with fighting in front, the difficulty rises vertically.
First of all, it’s a matter of status and skills.
It has no melee combat skills, and its stats are focused on intelligence and wisdom, so it cannot defeat close opponents.
In addition, summoning the Skeleton Soldiers in time and giving them all of the commands and instructions was so difficult that even having three bodies would not be enough.
“How do you do all that?”
“Summoning Skeleton Soldiers and the skill of even moving blood golems… … . Physical is also physical, but the order is really ridiculous. I wonder who you are.”
“I think that person is that Fafnir, number one.”
“aha… … . If it’s a person who ranks first in the score, it’s recognized.”
You might think it would be easy because it’s easy mode, but you’re wrong.
Thousands of Orcs had the same sense of intimidation, but since only a small party or guild came to the opponent, the difficulty of the fight itself was the same.
But Fafnil was different.
He commands dozens of skeleton soldiers, skeleton knights, and even homunculus soldiers in perfect order, even fighting directly.
“But that’s a skeleton disease.”
“Yes.”
“But how can skeleton soldiers be that strong?”
“Isn’t it possible because they are Orcs in Easy Mode? Skeleton soldiers with equipment are stronger than I thought… … .”
“surely… … .”
Users looked at Fafnir with amazement.
Of course, the Skeletons were broken because the Orcs were also strong, but each time Fafnir was replenishing the Skeletons directly from the surrounding corpses.
As Fafnir recaptured three bases in a row, the users also had more time to spare.
By the time half a day had passed, the Orcs had begun retreating from everywhere.
‘Bell and Penelope are very helpful.’
Cavalry on horseback is harder to use than you think. If you rush into infantry formations alone, you will often get caught in all sorts of spears and fall off your horse.
Even if you manage to break through, if you attack after being surrounded from all sides, you will die in vain because you cannot speed up.
Even the skeleton knight, Louis, had that kind of danger alone. Fafnir wrote Belle and Penelope together.
The results were staggering. When Penelope rode on horseback to cover them, the power of the cavalry revived.
In addition, Bell transformed into a swarm of bats and moved and supported them.
‘This is why combinations are so important.’
It’s simple if you think of a strategy game.
One-shot troops with high-end units are overwhelming rather than simply cheap units!
The difference was even greater in virtual reality games like reality.
‘It’s an experience I would never have had in real life.’
The augmented reality VR game also has command content, but it wasn’t this detailed.
-Experience gained.
– Level up!
– Acquired Contribution.
– Acquired Contribution.
‘Oh, this, the message log is overwritten, right?’
I only thought about it for a while, but it piled up enormously.
Fafnir grinned.
‘As expected, I was right.’
If you’re fighting on a hard, hell grade frontline, it’s hard to stop one with dozens of skeleton soldiers.
However, the Easy rating was different.
Each orc was on a similar level to a skeleton soldier, and hunting was easier because even the people came at random.
‘Hundreds of high-level guilds fight together, but there’s no such thing here.’
Lead dozens of skeleton soldiers alone and monopolize experience and contribution!
– Made more deaths.
– Hades, the god of death, is watching.
-Hades’ affinity has increased by +1.
– Hades, the god of death, blesses you.
-Intelligence status has increased by +1.
The occasional message from Hades is a bonus.
Let’s succeed in large-scale hunting in an easy battlefield, Hades’ sponsorship and emotional display also increased a lot.
‘And there are no other high-level frontline dangers here.’
If the event is too easy, it’s rather not fun. For this reason, the management team has taken measures to ensure that there is never a 100% win rate on the normal or higher front.
‘I’m not sure, but if the analysis of the novel and my thoughts are correct… … .’
It was then.
“hey.”
“yes?”
From noble mtl dot com.
Several users approached Fafnil, who was pushing the wire.
Fafnir was startled as if he had caught his thoughts in an instant.
“Fafnir-sama, is that right?”
“Ah yes. you’re right.”
Since he kept appearing as an MVP, there was no point in hiding it.
“also… … !”
“You’re a necromancer, but you fight as well as a melee class. You are really great.”
“You got first place. So something like this is possible. Skeletons here are not normal… … .”
Compliments that continue.
Fafnir looked at the users with suspicious eyes.
‘Couldn’t he be offended by stealing?’
At best, he helped me get attacked by monsters, but he said he was a hindrance instead!
In reality, if Fafnir revealed that he was a professional, it would be solved on its own, but this world was not like that.
‘I wish I wasn’t exposed as MVP, but I can’t help it.’
Even if I tried to adjust the grip, I couldn’t help it so that the wires wouldn’t break through.
“I’ve seen it all the way from the front lines.”
“… … .”
“You seem to be good at ordering as well as in normal fights. Could you possibly command us?”
It is said that being a necromancer is a job that is disrespected, but that is usually because the necromancer does not play a proper role.
If Fafnir proved his strength, it would be more beneficial to cooperate with it and eat rice cakes.
“There won’t be any damage to Fafnir. If we fight together, we can win faster, and I think there will be a surprise quest… … .”
“I think we will continue to defend the frontline together. How can you help?”
“hmm… … .”
Certainly, if ordinary users hold on well and move, they can end the frontline fight more quickly.
They didn’t have to go through the trouble of blocking out strongholds, and they could create a structure where they would reverse-hunt the orcs through the users.
Of course, if you hang out, the possibility that others will find the hidden piece that Fafnir missed increases.
“Okay, I will.”
“oh… … !”
“thank you!”
A smile appeared on people’s lips.
– The sudden quest ‘Qualities of a Beginner Commander (Magic)’ has been created.
-Lead your followers and strategize to win the battle on the front lines!
Even sudden quests that appear at the same time.
‘Can’t this be done with just a skeleton soldier?’
Fafnir clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘I’ll make a little generous conditions, why should only living users do it? This game is too harsh for non-mainstream people.’
Dissatisfaction with the system and the operator must be what gamers all over the world have in common.
