Episode 62
“Suddenly stepping back, what is it?”
“Iknow, right.”
Hilde and the others were worried after hearing Fafnir’s instructions.
Being in the rear on the 3rd day when the fighting is at its most intense?
“Such as the headquarters asking them to create an escape route… … .”
“Are you preparing for event loss?”
Drexler and Veron guessed in disgruntled voices.
It’s not enough to fall behind in a situation that anyone can see, look at the escape route from the headquarters side?
“Honestly, it’s a little strange… … .”
“For now, let’s do as Fafnir-nim said. Because he doesn’t talk nonsense.”
Drexler bit his lip at Hilde’s reading.
‘I came because I was worried that a strange guy might be bewitched by him, but I feel like I’m bewitched as well. But there is a grace that saved my life, so I will follow you this time.’
Drexler said after thinking.
“Okay, did you all hear? Let’s start by finding an escape route.”
Hilde and the others move to find an escape route from the command center.
In the meantime, Fafnir sent skeleton soldiers from the front to check the situation.
‘Now the user side has the upper hand.’
The NPCs and users of Baran Kingdom were continuing their fierce attacks following yesterday.
“A volley!”
Shu Shu Shuk. The arrows fired by the archers appropriately distracted the camp of the Orcs.
Elite warriors attack and annihilate the weakened orcs!
“Keep going!”
“from now on!”
Yesterday, even the executives who were in the commanding department stepped forward.
Every time the high-ranking swordsmen swung their swords, large orcs fell like straw.
“Users, please catch the remaining Orcs here.”
“Ah yes!”
“Please do not let us be surrounded.”
Consideration for the general users was not left out. By giving normal monsters and EXP, it is to prevent backlash.
‘It’s going as expected.’
Propaganda on the part of the user.
But it was still too early to be relieved.
‘If it’s what happens in the future in the novel… … . This battle ends with a crushing defeat for the kingdom’s army.’
When Flush started the game, the kingdom of Baran had long since been divided into quarters.
The Age of Warring States, when the king dies and numerous warlords and local lords grow in power.
I can’t be sure because I haven’t seen it myself, but this battle must have caused the situation.
‘An incident that cannot be prevented with the level of the current users. If so, who should take care of first and foremost… … .’
That was the moment.
Around the time Fafnir was thinking back to himself the information he had told Kindorhan.
Doong, Dooung!
A large flag appeared from the north of the battlefield with the sound of a huge drum.
“Oooh!”
A flag with a huge hawk on it.
It was the flag of Duke Gowyn, the Grand Duke of the North.
“Sort!”
“Ready to charge!”
Thousands of cavalry and infantry following behind them lined up in a single line under the banner.
If you charge like this, you’ll hit the flanks of the orcs!
“oh… … !”
“It’s up!”
Users’ mouths opened naturally as they looked as if they were watching a blockbuster fantasy movie.
Even though I checked the event list in advance, I was amazed!
“From now on is important!”
“Everyone prepare for an all-out attack!”
The Five Star Guild and Kingdom Army were also ready to attack the Orcs.
However, the reaction of the orcs was strange.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Chwiiik!”
“Now eat! Fight to your heart’s content!”
As if the kingdom army to the north was nowhere to be seen, it seemed to only care about this side.
And that’s not all.
The Four Heavenly Kings of the Orc Empire, as well as powerful Orcs exuding a red aura, were ready to charge in unison.
“what?”
Commander users tilted their heads. The Orcs had been fighting as well, taking command until now. An enemy appeared from the side, but there was no way to attack this side.
‘As expected.’
Fafnir, who was in the rear, called all the skeleton soldiers at that moment.
And immediately ran to the headquarters.
“uh?”
“Ugh!”
Users in the front soon saw an unbelievable sight.
“Why are you coming this way?”
“Wait, wait!”
Turning the horse’s head towards the user, the northern corps began to speed up as it is.
Didn’t you say that they were reinforcements from the Kingdom?
“uh?”
“Ugh!”
“Oh, come! Stop! We have to stop it!”
The Five Star Guild members, who belatedly grasped the situation, tried to spread the dust.
But, at the very least, it was long too late.
“charge!”
“Whoaaa!”
The cavalry of the Northern Legion swept the front line. That was it.
In front of the overwhelming wave of attacks, the kingdom’s NPCs and users began to crumble in an instant!
It was the beginning of the mayhem.
* * *
– The Army of the Northern Duke has betrayed. All armies of the Grand Duke of the North have become enemies.
– Fighting has begun to break out within the allies as well.
– The all-out attack of the Orcs has begun.
– A new quest ‘Counterattack (Unique)’ has been created.
– A new quest ‘Retreat Operation (Magic)’ has been created.
– Morale automatically reduced to the lowest level.
– Attack power decreased.
-Movement speed increases by +10 when facing in the opposite direction of the enemy.
– Chance to get status abnormalities increased by +30%.
– Automatically takes ‘panic’ status.
– The will is high. The effect of panic status is canceled.
Many messages come to mind.
“This is the beginning.”
The collapse of the kingdom army began with the Northern Duke’s betrayal!
I got information in advance, but I couldn’t help it.
I didn’t feel particularly sad about it. In the first place, neither Fafnir nor any other user could prevent this situation.
“Stop it!”
Five Star Guild executives tried to break the momentum of the Orcs first. To try to defeat one side first and then fight again before being attacked by both sides.
However, the Orc side was also different from yesterday.
“Kreur… … .”
The appearance of bald orcs with red greatswords!
“Big!”
The orcs called the Red Blood Ghosts spun around.
Blade Storm.
The wind came out of the sword and swept the surroundings in a whirlwind.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
A special skill that sweeps away the military and knights!
“Mmm, crazy.”
“retreat! retreat!”
The user alliance urgently changed their strategy, but this time another enemy stood in their way.
“Euhahahahaha, die!”
Inside the camp, bandits and warriors wielded swords.
They were the elite members of several military-style guilds secretly recruited by Grand Duke Gowyn on the second night, including the Iron Blooded Warriors Guild.
“Ooh, we must be on the same side!”
“Cuck!”
The Royal Army soldiers who were attacked from inside and outside collapsed with empty expressions.
Even for the Black Lion Guild members, who had the same military style, the Iron and Blood Warriors were wielding their swords relentlessly.
‘The situation is not good.’
Fafnir headed straight to the headquarters.
The path was confusing, with players running away and players fighting somehow.
Whiik! Arrows rained down on the side of Fafnir, and blind magic hit the surroundings.
‘Oh sh*t. The game is really difficult.’
If there was a flush here, the arrows and magic would have fallen to the sides.
Unlucky Fafnir had to anticipate all of those attacks and dodge them with control.
‘Why does Flush benefit every time it encounters something like this, but I don’t have any drops.’
Fafnir sighed and ran.
Just then, a new notification appeared in the whisper window.
-Hilde: Mr. Fafnir!
-Hilde: What’s going on?
Hilde’s party, who had retreated to the rear, was still unaware of the situation.
– Fafnir: The Northern Duke’s army is attacking us.
-Fafnil: The front is completely smashed, and sooner or later it will be pushed to the center and the follow-up camp.
-Hilde: Huh… … . Then he said to find a way to escape… … .
-Hilde: Oh, I think we’ll go south! There’s a supply unit and rear reserve there, so if you go there, you won’t be able to break through.
-Fafnil: I see. I’m leaving after work, so get out of here quickly.
Fafnir, who sent the message, looked ahead.
‘There it is.’
Command started to show up before I knew it!
While the NPC soldiers were fighting each other, Umigan gangs were fighting all over the place.
“Did you come!”
The face of Kindorhan, who was in command of the gang, turned red.
“What is the situation now?”
“It’s crazy. Suddenly, an infighting broke out, so I am helping people on the royal side.”
Kindorhan moved on to the main topic.
“The NPC anti-air unit betrayed you? in front of me.”
“Yeah, I’m having a lot of fun right now.”
“Did you really predict this two days ago?”
“You said there was a traitor in the last quest. I was just prepared for it just in case.”
Although it was informed by the knowledge in the novel, Fafnir claimed that it was an outline of the strategy obtained from the Orc Fortress.
“Let’s go in first.”
Fafnir and Kindorhan headed for the central barracks.
When I pulled back the curtain at the entrance, I could see the knife fighting inside.
“Kuu… … .”
A scene of dozens of knights besieging a corner and driving them.
After three or four knights were somehow blocking it, a blonde-haired girl was clenching her teeth.
Compassionate appearance even in a crisis.
Eyes as blue as sapphire, even the ice and rose patterns on the armor of the escort knights.
‘Then that girl must be Princess Elizabeth.’
Princess Elizabeth.
She is the younger sister of the king, who is descended from the Baran royal family, and the fiancée of the Grand Duke of Gowin.
In the original story, he led one of the warlords after the death of the king, and was also one of Flush’s main NPC allies.
‘It came out when I was doing the pledge quest with the King of Spirits.’
A quest related to the royal family that appeared in the middle of the novel.
Originally, it was an oath that only the male heir to the royal family could renew, so when Flush took on the quest, there was no other way but to suppress it by force.
At the time, Flush pierced another detour with his luck and horse, but if the princess had also died, he would have no answer.
The important thing is that the princess is the key to many quests!
“Stop them!”
At Fafnir’s shout, the gangsters with the best hair rushed at once.
“What, what!”
“These bastards!”
The knights swung their swords and cut through the gang. At that moment, the Umigan gangsters behind them threw sand all at once.
“Ah! Sand in my eyes!”
The attack of the gangsters who harassed them by any means was particularly effective against the knights.
In the meantime, Fafnir pushed one of the knights away and opened the way.
“Come over here!”
“You… … .”
“Come on, we’re running out of time!”
“… … ! All right.”
– Contribution, reputation, and charisma work.
– Princess Elizabeth trusts you.
-Princess Elizabeth’s affinity has increased by +1.
If you stay here any longer, you will die anyway.
That’s right, Elizabeth followed Fafnir. The few remaining escort knights followed suit.
“Take the knights away! Keep attacking!”
Fafnir created and sent skeleton soldiers to stop the pursuers.
Perhaps the situation was unfavorable, the knights did not pursue it any longer.
– A new quest ‘Escort of Princess Elizabeth (Rare)’ has been created.
– Morale slightly increased.
At the same time, a quest notification that appears for Fafnir and Umigan gangs.
The corners of Kindorhan’s mouth rose slightly.
“Aha, that was it.”
In reality, now the house is on a big fire.
If it was impossible to extinguish the fire in a burning house, the first priority was to take care of valuable furniture and valuables.
“I took two days off, so don’t say that you can’t work because it’s hard. Then I will break my leg.”
“Don’t worry, I’m in peak condition right now.”
“That’s good.”
Fafnir grinned at Kindorhan’s words.
‘If I have that much stamina left, it’s okay to roll as much as I want.’
Remarks that relieve remorse!
It was the beginning of the NPC rescue operation.
