Episode 57
Baran Kingdom.
You can think of it as one country, but in fact, the size of this land is overwhelmingly wider than you think.
It’s been more than a year since Horizon started, but there are still very few users who have left the kingdom of Baran.
It is not only large in size, but also has overwhelmingly large cities and contents.
The entire Kingdom of Baran was engulfed in a war with the Orcs.
Naturally, countless fronts were created for each level of difficulty, and all users could enjoy the event without worrying about seats.
But only one place was different.
There is no limit on the number of people, but not a single person entered here.
-Extreme Front (Hell) (0/Unlimited)
An entrance window that always reads 0.
It wasn’t like this from the beginning.
When the event started, each guild sent a patrol to all difficulty fronts.
Group 2 of each guild. A reconnaissance party made up of top rankers.
The results were disastrous.
-Minimum level 180 of spawning monsters, a lot of elite and boss monsters, and the appearance of the Four Heavenly Kings.
-Check Troll Boss, check Orc Knights using Aura.
The army of the ridiculous camp of Orcs.
Still, if the only problem was the difficulty of the battlefield, I would have done it anyway.
– Level down by 1 upon death, same penalty as normal death. After that, for an additional 1 day, you cannot intervene in all events related to the rise of the Orc Empire.
no day
Most of the players who can challenge hell mode are masters aiming for rankers.
A one-day game access penalty for such people?
It means falling behind others.
This is the event period.
It will take a lot of effort to fill that gap.
‘… … Everyone thinks now is an opportunity.’
Fafnir saw the great plain in front of him.
“I didn’t know it when I only saw it on the bulletin board, but it’s really scary.”
A heavily armed Orc Knights approach from across the horizon.
Armored trolls lead the way with iron clubs the size of houses.
Tens of thousands of elite orcs followed suit.
‘Even if I can’t do it, it’s over 100,000.’
A sight that takes your breath away when you stand alone.
Since users were trying to deal with something like that, it was only natural that the answer would not come out.
I don’t know if it’s the point of the original novel.
Now, even if all the top guilds were united, they lacked strength compared to that army.
Still, Fafnil remained calm.
“Is everyone ready?”
“yes!”
“Okay, glory to the kingdom of Baran!”
“under!”
Doo doo. Behind Fafnir, soldiers and knights in silver armor approached.
-Baran royal knight.
-Baran royal knight.
-Baran royal knight.
Armor and shield engraved with golden lion patterns.
The Royal Knights, the elite knights of the Baran Kingdom.
Numerous soldiers and wizards followed behind him.
“after. after.”
Regular breathing even with the battlefield in front.
It was an elite soldier.
“For the kingdom!”
“launch!”
Shu-shu-shuong, the magic of the wizards moved.
Fireballs exploded above the heads of the orcs, and lightning struck.
“Chwichwiik!”
“Chwik!”
Catastrophe of the calamity class.
However, more orcs survived than expected.
“Attack!”
“Stop it!”
Numerous human NPCs greet the orcs and fight them.
The scenery of the battlefield where tens of thousands of battles took place was even majestic.
‘As expected.’
Fafnir grinned.
‘It was true that NPCs would support when the number of users was insufficient.’
It is said that many users participate, but there may be rainy fronts, poor fronts, or times when people are missing.
At that time, it was the Baran Kingdom Army NPCs who supported the users.
‘Then let’s get on the NPC bus.’
Fafnir summoned the Skeleton Soldier and Penelope.
It was then.
“What! I didn’t even choose my equipment.”
The supply officer who brought the equipment came.
“Now, put these on.”
[Kingdom Army Elite Soldier Armor Top]
-Rating: Normal
– Level limit: 110
-Durability: 200/200
-Physical Defense: 205
-Magical Defense: 7
-5 set effect: Reduces ranged physical attack damage by 12%
– Description: An elite armor for soldiers of the Kingdom of Baran.
[Kingdom Army Elite Troop Window]
-Rating: Normal
– Level limit: 110
– Durability: 140/140
-Physical attack power: 160~180
– Description: An elite spear used by soldiers of the Kingdom of Baran.
Since the Orcs on the Hell difficulty front were all elite, the kingdom’s equipment against them was also different from the normal front.
Skeleton soldiers armed with stronger armor and sharp spears lined up.
‘Okay, at least this won’t break with a tap.’
Time is money.
Fafnir immediately began to give orders.
“Penelope.”
“What is going on?”
“Change the strategy. Do not follow me around the battlefield and do what you have to do.”
After all, there was no reason to gather together from now on. In a battle of tens of thousands, dozens of skeleton soldiers were as powerless as grains of sand on the beach.
“Bell, you too.”
“I will follow your orders.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard, and fight only in a way that helps the kingdom’s army.”
The role of support for NPCs in the kingdom army.
Fafnil emphasized one more thing there.
From noble mtl dot com.
“If possible, never give up the last hit and aim for their backs.”
“Makta?”
‘Why do I have to hit the last hit?’
Penelope tilted her head for a moment, but accepted the order without saying anything.
“Okay, if that’s an order… … . I will follow.”
After pulling out her sword, Penelope headed for the battlefield. Bell, who had turned into a bat, then disappeared.
Fafnir gave the order again.
“No. 2, you lead a group of skeleton soldiers and keep refilling weapons and armor from the rear. The rest should split up and help the soldiers who are threatened by the enemy.”
“Click!”
“Aiming for the last shot is the same as you guys, okay?”
“Exactly!”
“If you run out of weapons, go to the base and replenish them.”
“Ta-dak!”
They were skeleton soldiers nodding their heads.
I gave the order, now it’s time to fight.
Fafnir led the Skeleton Soldiers to the battlefield.
‘It’s a feeling of tension I haven’t felt in a long time.’
Piuuugh, thump!
A stone or magic from a catapult flew right next to it and exploded.
Tension that is hard to feel in a game using VR!
‘Then shall we go fight?’
Papat, Fafnir, who had been running, turned his head from side to side.
In the meantime, Fafnir found a place and shone.
‘There it is.’
Fafnir ran towards it and swung his sword.
“Chwiek!”
A blade protruded from the chest of the orc who was about to push and stab an NPC soldier.
“Are you okay?”
“Ahh… … . yes. I live thanks to you.”
“I’m glad, then I’m off.”
Fafnir ignored the soldier and ran to another place.
After a while Fafnir saw another victim and headed towards it.
‘All of those Orcs are level 140 or higher, but considering the special trolls and trolls, fighting is impossible.’
Fafnir’s level is currently 116.
Even if you just fight against a difference of over 20 levels, you are not as good as a single soldier.
Then the correct answer was to do what only Fafnir could do.
‘Find only those who fight with NPCs and hit the last hit!’
If you are a user, you will share the experience, but if you help an NPC, all the experience will be Fafnir’s.
In fact, it was as if the binge-up season had come once more.
‘If you mess with it, the NPC will ask you to take the last shot and ask.’
Other guilds and rankers wouldn’t even know about this.
-Experience gained.
– Level up!
It seemed that the Skeleton Soldier had already started hitting the last blow.
‘This must be busy for a while.’
Sigh, Fafnir jumped into the battlefield with a smile of repentance.
* * *
Four days have passed since the start of the second front.
In the meantime, Fafnir went out to the front line at dawn and ended the connection late at night, repeating.
A murderous schedule where all time is spent on the frontlines, except for meals, exercise, and toileting!
It could be done a little leisurely, but I couldn’t goofing around with the benefits in front of my eyes.
The results were astonishing.
– Achieved 100,000 contribution points.
– You have accumulated an overwhelming contribution. You can command regular elite soldiers on the front lines.
– High-ranking commanders and nobles listen carefully to you.
– Achieved new achievement ‘Field Command – Elite’.
– Acquired the new title ‘Veteran Commander’.
– Charisma has risen by +1.
-Achieved MVP for 10 consecutive days in a battlefield where you fought alone.
– Achieved new achievement ‘Lonely Battlefield’.
– Acquired the new title ‘Adventurer of the Battlefield’.
– Strength increased by +3.
-Health increased by +1.
– Wisdom has risen by +1.
– Charisma has risen by +3.
Acquire status by sweeping various contributions and titles.
Thanks to that, his contribution exceeded 100,000, and his level rose by 5 to 121.
“The last hit strategy works better than I thought.”
Since the orcs are so strong, just collecting last hit experience is a big deal.
Quest rewards such as commanding soldiers, rescuing knights, or defending bases are a bonus!
Thanks to this, the contribution of servers not only in Korea but also around the world has become number one.
-Fafnil exceeded 100,000 chchchchch
-oh my god!
The good news I heard while being hit by a large guild and being pushed back by overseas players.
– Korea’s pride!
– But really, how did you earn that much by yourself? Aren’t all the guilds making porridge right now?
-I know. It’s a stronghold, but I couldn’t even see it from the front line. Did you go to Normal or Hard?
– No, I can’t see it.
While sending heartfelt congratulations, users wondered how Fafnir was earning such points.
“Beat them all! You worms!”
“sorry!”
On the other hand, the Dragon Blood Gate was in a frenzy.
“They said they were searching without water! But what kind of skill is that bastard earning contribution points with? Are you writing a bug?”
“Sorry, I’ll look into external quests as well.”
“You didn’t even think about it before I said it, did you? No, don’t. Don’t even log in tomorrow.”
Jin Yong-wang, the guild master of the Dragon Blood Gate Guild.
He was famous for his pride, so when he heard the news of Fafnir, he went wild and immediately sent a tracking party.
But what is this
While the Dragon Blood Tracer was killing it, Fafnir scored 100,000 points and became the world’s #1 contribution.
“bloke! Let’s see, I don’t know where I earned the contribution, but I’m sure… … .”
“Gilma. ”
It was then.
Kim Gun-ma, an executive who was watching, opened his mouth.
“Then maybe it’s a bug?”
“bug?”
“yes. Horizon says there are no bugs, but you can use cheats or viruses.”
“hmm… … .”
“Of course, Gilma-nim must have thought about it, but I’m asking if it’s okay to report it to the management team.”
It wasn’t a bad story. If it’s a bug, the management will take care of it, or they can narrow down the subject.
“I was still thinking about that. I didn’t suggest that, though, so you can try putting on your arms.”
“All right. I will put in an inquiry right away.”
“Yeah, but will that work?”
“As evidence, there are screenshots collected by the killers, so we will see enough.”
“… … good! to move.”
“yes.”
All of the people Dragon Blood Moon suggested recruiting were names with infinite potential or potential.
If you don’t have it, you’ll just destroy it before the dragon blood crest grows too big to keep up with.
Meanwhile, Fafnil headed elsewhere.
The place I went to this time was none other than the capital.
Heading to the back alley, Fafnir was soon able to meet a man.
“Have you been doing well lately? i envy you?”
Kindorhan smirked and said hello.
Fafnil nodded and replied.
“I’m just here because of that story.”
