Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? - Chapter 73

◈Episode 73

The way we moved from the beginning until (8)… So, the way we decided where to move was like this.

Set the location that Baramson had mentioned as your final destination, but if you find a mountain plant during the move, grab it there as well.

However, the newly revealed location of Vipurit was, to put it somewhat exaggerated, right around the corner. There is no need to go back to let people breathe.

In other words, it is said that hitting the head is a more effective distance than running around trying to catch something that has fallen.

Well, I’m not 100% sure, so Vipurit may not necessarily be there. But the route I would have taken anyway is the same.

There is no harm in moving forward after making a decision and preparing. Even if there is no Vipurit, a castle is a castle, and you have to prepare to attack such a castle.

“You’re not really going to leave right away, are you?”

That’s why I said we should work together and work together…

“We’re leaving at dawn.”

paid it Not joking, seriously.

“The opponent has taken over a castle! Are you really going to keep going like this? “What about the main team!”

Of course Dev was shocked.

“That demon knight. From what I can see, it would be better to join the main force and fight. The distance from the main unit is now two or three days.”

“Knight Sir, let’s have a little patience. You never know what kind of devil might be holding out. Of course, there is information obtained from those who escaped or those who infiltrated, but that is only part of it… It is a bit reckless to go to a situation where you have to knock on a stone bridge to cross it….”

I feel a sense of indignation as I look at those who present reasonable opinions. affirmed.

Yes, I know that’s standard. If you think about it, this is siege content.

And a normal siege is all about terrain and side weapons. It’s not something to throw at a party.

“Even at this moment, a devil is being born. “And yet you’re telling me to give you more than one day?”

But just listen. Let’s say they summoned a demon and will do it.

Let’s also assume that low-level demons are the main force. That means there will be a volume war, right? And the quantity war consumes a lot of troops on both sides, right?

But what do we do when we have so many troops to mobilize? Also, the fact that they summon the devil is the same as saying that they will ultimately sacrifice the islanders.

The longer the fight lasts, the more lives are sacrificed! And what could be the cause of increased civilian deaths in quests like this?

It could be GAME OVER….

If you were to call a raid boss like Kraken, that was a problem.

Even if I stepped forward to deal with him, I could already see that he would get caught up and die. The same goes for the newly invented throwing curse jar that I saw a few times in the mountains.

“But…”

“Weak things are a hindrance.”

In other words, as I said in retrospect, if you wait to join the main force, the damage will only increase. I mean.

And if your team’s damage is too great, the game will say something like this. ‘No problem again!’

Huh, that is out of the question. I absolutely want it.

“No matter what, it would be better if I went head on….”

Of course, going with this number of people also has a big disadvantage. Since the Wind Hand is not a force, it would be impossible for me to attack it head-on, let alone a useless gathering.

“I don’t know what the Archmage saw in you.”

But what if it’s not a head-on attack? What about infiltration and assassination? I think this has a pretty good chance of winning.

They said they ran away, but former Ayu Hin officials (high-ranking officials) are here. Isn’t there a secret passage that only they know about?

“Where are Ayu Hin’s treasurer and guard captain?”

“yes?”

Of course, this also carries risks. They aren’t stupid and they must have prepared for it. If you are discovered, there will be no room to escape as there will be enemies everywhere.

Moreover, we have a traitor. I know that if the traitor even revealed this fact, it would be like having his head thrown into the jaws of a tiger.

But on the other hand, what if you succeed in avoiding the traitor? A secret passage assumes that you can escape from the core to the outside without being detected, so if you do the opposite, you will be able to pierce the core at once.

High risk, high return, I think this is a gamble worth taking.

“Why are the finance and security chiefs…”

“Secret passage…?”

After all, if there is a possibility of survival of 4 people instead of hundreds of confirmed deaths vs. a confirmed safety of hundreds of people instead of possibility of death of 4 people, wouldn’t there be only one answer to choose?

At least I am certain.

“Are you thinking of a secret passage?”

Dev, who was very perceptive, asked me. Since I was already convinced, I didn’t bother to answer. Instead, I glared at him as if asking him to give me an answer.

“Right now… I’ll guide you right away. No, no. “Please wait here until I bring someone over.”

Dark green eyes, shadowed by the hood, sparkled.

“Security and infiltration aren’t my forte.”

We had come a long way, so now it was time to slow down.

* * *

I wanted to go to sleep at midnight to relieve fatigue. Of course, the wind was not suitable for the fountain.

Still, it was worth sacrificing some of the fatigue.

I succeeded in gathering all the people in charge of the city and the information guild members who know the back alleys of the city and established an infiltration route.

The traitor… well. I think we paid the most attention to security. If it does not help in planning, it is excluded from the discussion or even not mentioned.

Even so, wouldn’t it be inevitable if our strategy were to be leaked? The fact that the guy I brought in because I needed it to plan the route was a traitor was meaningless from the beginning.

Well, enough of the dark stories, we received solid support.

Although we are in a situation where we are short on supplies, our success is directly linked to our lives here. There is no way we can talk about material calculations.

Although the person in charge who was looking at the list of things I was going through, including my inventory, was a bit desperate.

“I hope the sea breeze pushes your back.”

“Haha, good luck.”

Anyway, we left after being sent off by Baramson, who didn’t know where we were going but knew that we were leaving early in the morning.

Why is the wind hand seeing me off? Of course, that’s because I was eliminated from the party.

Cancer’s personal power is weak, his long-term navigation is useless in the inland, and he is not a native of Ayu Hin, so he cannot be used as a guide.

On the other hand, if it remains, it can serve as a buffer for the people in the port and mainland. There were more reasons not to hire him than there were reasons to hire him, but there was no need to force him to take him.

“I’m asking for my share as well.”

Even more so in a situation where even the person herself was positive about it. Of course, what he heard was, ‘You’re weak, so it’s better to stay here.’

But even though he doesn’t know the detailed plan, he seems to have realized that we’re going to crash into Ayu Hin right away. The wind hand should have figured out who I was.

I didn’t even say that we would be leaving at dawn in the first place, but I came to see him off at the right time.

“Will Nari the Windhand be able to deal well with the main force?”

But that also happened two days ago now. There is no point in worrying anymore.

“I think it will be okay since Archmage is here.”

“Well… since there is a magic tower, problems won’t just break out.”

“More than that, I’m more concerned about these words. When they arrive, are they just going to release them into the forest?”

“I guess so.”

“I’m dying.”

“Wouldn’t that be highly likely? “Beasts are attacking me like now.”

“I wish I lived.”

“I hope we don’t get demonized like these people. Ugh.”

For reference, the horses that were given out in large quantities at the secret port also became expendable items because there were many demonized beasts in the forest.

I wonder if it would be okay to use expensive horses on the mainland as consumables on the island, but in reality, is that something that can be done? Time is money, so I can’t just walk.

As expected, this game urgently needs a vehicle patch. Actually some conveniences too. No, the most urgent thing is logging out.

“It looks like you have time to talk.”

Anyway, did he say this while throwing the corpse of the demon he stabbed to the side? The two dumplings joined in laughter as I chanted.

“I can’t even go to the bathroom here.”

Meanwhile, Luk Quan, standing behind me, was joking no matter what I said. Um, who is Luk Quan? This time, he is the person who joined the party instead of Baramson.

“I’m even more amazed at your guts for thinking of going to the bathroom alone.”

There is not just one Lukkwan. We brought in a few more people who had both the advantage of being native and being good at infiltration.

“You make a living by hiding yourself, but you have to be afraid to use this one thing.”

As a result, 5 more thieves from the ‘Ayu Hin Branch’ Information Guild were added… but since they are competent, let’s skip them.

Even the shortcoming of the Inquisitor being difficult to deal with is overcome with charm. I made an oath, so if I can’t treat you like Dev, that’s okay.

The combination of 1 swordsman, 1 paladin, and 6 thieves… wouldn’t it be a failed combination since the situation has become a bit different from reality?

“I can see traces for a moment.”

“This looks like a patrol route.”

I don’t know about DPS (damage per second), but at least finding traces of enemies has become much better.

“I have to stop talking now.”

The fact that there is a patrol route means that the destination is nearby, and the fact that the destination is nearby means that infiltration is just beginning.

under. Are you really in trouble now? I looked at Dev. It roughly meant “Do you think that way too?”, but I guess that was a bit off-putting.

The person who caught my gaze twitched his lips and nodded.

Clap.

My boots were the first to land on the swamp-like ground. My eyebrows straightened out at the soft, silky sensation as if I was walking through mud.

thud.

Although I wore cloth armor for infiltration, the Inquisitor was the second in weight here after me.

One by one, the bandits dismounted from their horses and began to retrieve the reins.

“Run away.”

They are also in charge of erasing any traces left by the horses after they set out to find freedom. While they were leaving, I checked their skills one last time.

Of course, it didn’t mean much. You can use the combat skills even if you don’t, and you’ve already taken all the passive skills that increase defense and defense.

At the very least, it includes everything that increases the amount and speed of treatment. All that’s left is negotiation and tracking down…

I already improved it before I came, but there is one level I raised while I was here. I stamped it with the Red Red Stream skill.

「Silent walk│A good hunter knows how to hide his presence. “The sound of footsteps becomes less and less.”

It was a series that I tried to postpone for the last time because I thought it would have meaning in the beginning, but it might be useful in the current situation.

But is this really effective? Why doesn’t the sound of footsteps decrease in my ears at all?

I was like, ‘Ugh, the system isn’t working again.’ With these thoughts in mind, I slowly set off.

The full-fledged infiltration began with the Shaggi tribe in the form of a black panther – Luk’Quan. The destination is not the castle itself, but the entrance to a secret passage located somewhere near the castle walls.

“Amazing… I never imagined anything like this.”

Could it be that the thief who traced the traces of the passage cleaned up this and that? The entrance soon opened. Of those who saw it, the rawest reaction was that of the Inquisitor.

“There must be one or two things like this in the church, but it looks like they don’t know about it because they are heresy inquisitors.”

They move together, but the sediment hasn’t completely disappeared. One of the thieves said something subtly trying to trick them.

“right. “I’ve never heard of it.”

“…Are you confident?”

“You probably didn’t tell me because there was a good reason, so why wouldn’t I be confident?”

“….”

But my child needs to be more consistent. Dev laughed loudly while muting his voice. Rook Quan, who was the representative of the thieves—he didn’t seem to have the authority to command since he wasn’t part of the same group—is also laughing.

“Go to sleep and don’t waste your energy on unnecessary things.”

She finished the task of covering the entrance by patting the back of the person who had tried to give him water.

「Ayu Hin: Hole in the Castle Wall」

「❖ Fang aimed at Jakrati

∎ Move to Ayu Hin occupied by the enemy

∎ Liberate Ayu Hin

∎ Bonus: Killing Vipurit」

Finally, the quest was also updated.

“Let’s move.”

No matter how much work is done at the entrance and exit of the passage, it is meaningless if it continues to clutter there.

We walked inside the passage. The road that was just a crypt changed as the ground went deeper, and eventually it turned into an artificial road made of piled stones.

“Can I get some fire?”

When your breath is heavy, your body can feel that there is less oxygen. Is it possible to suffocate to death while using an oil lamp in such a space?

We threw away all the oil lamps we had. Instead, what Luk-Kwan gave me was a lamp that I have been using since I connected.

It doesn’t use electricity as the word implies, but it is said to be a magic item and does not consume oxygen. It was perfect for this situation.

“You and I, please take this on your way.”

While Luk’Quan and the bandits were finding their way, Dev handed us something.

“This is a medicine that removes body odor. This is a medicine that dyes your hair for a day. “These are slave clothes obtained from rescued people. It would be awkward if the slaves were clean, so let’s get some soot on them as we go.”

Even though the purpose was to pray, there was talk of having to disguise yourself just in case. I just stood by and thought they would take care of it themselves.

But you prepared in earnest, Dev….

“Do I have something to do?”

“You just need to stay still.”

Even if you don’t like it, an expert is an expert. The Inquisitor quietly followed instructions and walked calmly, leaving it to the expert.

As I started to walk and put on my makeup, my face, which was like a white steamed bun, quickly became prickly. It’s funny because the clothes are clean but the face is like that.

“The color of your hair… Oh, try walking without shaking. Can’t you do that too?”

“I’m doing my best!”

“Top the top of your head!”

Because the height difference between Dev and the Inquisitor was not that big, Dev walked on tiptoe the entire time he was applying hair medicine.

It would have been more comfortable if I had had time to sit somewhere, but unfortunately I didn’t have time.

That’s because hair medicine made with magic also takes some time to color. But that doesn’t mean we can’t wait another hour at the castle threshold.

“Is it okay for a moment, driver?”

But I haven’t heard that I have to do this too. Gaaaargh.
