The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 188

Episode 188

Waaa!

Bae Do-hyeon lightly pulled out his spear while hearing the enormous shouts coming from behind him.

Just as he was taking Melbird’s belt (power armor) and leisurely brushing off the blood from the spear and turning the horse’s head.

“Inoom! “Let’s compete with me!”

“Stay there! “The fight is not over yet!”

A knight, Sirnot, ran out from the Viscount’s camp and shouted.

“Nope?”

Bae Do-hyeon chuckled and turned around without any regrets.

Since we had already achieved our goal, there wasn’t much that would change if we beat two or three more of them.

Moreover, this battle is a battlefield where all players must stand out.

It was difficult for Bae Do-hyun to monopolize the spotlight with his solo performance.

“You coward! Are you avoiding challenges?”

“This foreigner doesn’t know anything about honor!”

Ignoring the bullshit coming from behind, Bae Do-hyeon started driving his horse back to the camp.

‘What is cowardice? ‘Isn’t it more cowardly to rush straight into someone who has just finished a fight?’

Since the master didn’t know honor, I didn’t like the way the knights under him also talked about honor as they pleased.

“at there! “You barbaric foreigner!”

Piyung.

And in the knight war, something that should not have happened happened.

The Viscount’s knight fired an arrow at Bae Do-hyeon, who turned his back to him.

“Joe, be careful!”

“back! back!”

The players’ shocked expressions caught Bae Do-hyun’s eyes.

But he didn’t turn around.

“oh!”

Before we knew it, the arrow flew right behind Bae Do-hyeon’s back.

But strangely, the arrow wriggled, changed its trajectory, and quickly rotated around Bae Do-hyeon’s body as if it were a satellite.

And the next moment.

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The arrow returns to the knight who fired the bow at a faster speed than the ship flew at.

“Ugh!”

Tang!

The knight barely managed to hit the arrow with his sword…

but boom!

Hidden behind the arrow, he was unable to prevent the dagger from hitting the horse’s forehead.

While the viscount knights who witnessed the strange scene hesitated for a moment, Bae Do-hyeon calmly returned to the camp as if nothing had happened.

I could have made a formal complaint through a royal observer against the cowardly knight who fired an arrow from behind.

‘The observers must have been in the same boat.’

It didn’t matter because it would be difficult for him to return from this battlefield alive anyway.

“Wow, that bastard. “I will definitely catch that bastard!”

“You dare attack me? “I captured you exactly.”

Of course, it infuriated the players.

“Ma Master! Are you okay? Have you seen such XX like that! XXX I must…”

“I haven’t lost communication yet?”

“Huh? “Kya…”

It seems that Ken and the First Knights were also firmly impressed.

‘Well anyway.’

The excitement of the knight battle died down due to the stupid knight’s sudden actions.

All that remains is a head-on collision.

Pow!

The formations of both sides began to move in earnest.

* * *

“Infantry forward.”

“Infantry forward!”

Pow!

Following the Baron’s orders, 2,000 of the player’s troops and 500 of Baron Selphierd’s troops began to slowly advance.

Accordingly, more than 4,000 infantrymen began to walk out from the Viscount camp.

The territory war seemed to be conducted in a typical power struggle structure without any special strategy.

The difference is that the Baron’s side has a lot of cavalry left, and the Viscount’s side is ahead in the number of archers.

Purr.

While the horses were trotting as if they wanted to run, the infantry had advanced about 50 meters.

“Archers ready to fire.”

“Archers!”

With the flag waving, about 500 archers positioned in two rows in front of the main camp fired arrows from their longbows.

Like a mirror, over a thousand archers could be seen in the enemy camp preparing to fire.

A tense moment.

A command fell from the Baron’s mouth as he examined the distance to the enemy.

“Shoot.”

“Start shooting!”

Tooung Pibibit!

A rain of arrows flew toward the sky.

Although there were only 500 longbowmen, as if to show off that they were elite soldiers, the arrows they fired were not dispersed and fell towards the front of the enemy, forming a steady fire net.

And the player camp led by Baron was also exposed to a barrage of arrows.

“Arrows ahead! “Raise your shield!”

The troops who were walking slowly stopped for a moment and calmly prepared for the arrow attack by raising their shields above their heads.

Patter! Empty! Push.

Apparently, the viscount’s archers lacked skill, and the number of arrows that actually reached the baron’s camp was only about a hundred.

And those at the forefront of the camp were elite among players.

The story goes that there was no one to be hit by the arrows that fell sporadically.

“Put down your shield and move forward again!”

Following the commander’s command, the players began to walk again.

On the other hand, the reaction speed of the Viscount’s infantry camp seemed to have slowed down, possibly due to dozens of casualties.

“The second wave is coming!”

Before I could walk a few steps, arrows started raining down again.

Is it because the distance has narrowed a bit?

This time the number of arrows seemed to be a bit more.

Patter.

Then lower the shield again and move forward.

“Oh, my heart is pounding.”

“Can’t I just run away?”

Although the players complained, the initial command was agreed to follow the Baron’s orders.

After repeating this a couple more times, the distance to the opposing infantry suddenly decreased to 150m.

The general battle pattern was to repeat the same operation until the distance was reduced to less than 100m and then charge all at once.

“Now. Everyone in level 2 combat stance! “The group that is ready begins autonomous combat.”

“Go to stage 2 combat posture!”

Bae Do-hyeon, who had dismounted from his horse and was advancing with other players, delivered the command through guild communication.

That moment.

The players split into groups of five or six and formed small formations.

While the melee class players pulled out large tower shields from their inventory and smashed them into the ground to build a makeshift defensive wall, the archer class raised their bows and began firing arrows at the enemy camp.

Grumble!

At the same time, the wizard series activated basic magic with a long range and fired it towards the enemy camp.

“You don’t even need to aim! “Blow fast without fail!”

The commanders themselves fired arrows and encouraged the surrounding players.

And even the melee players who had finished installing the tower shield took out the bows they had stored in their inventory and fired, so it was as if the entire player formation was instantly converted to ranged attackers.

Tung.

“Wow, is this flying properly?”

“I don’t know either. Just shoot! “There are a lot of arrows anyway, right?”

Two friends in the melee swordsman class chatted and shot arrows.

It was a few days ago that they first held a bow in their hands.

The First Players Association ordered that all players participating in Territory War learn how to shoot a bow, and several hours of quick training were provided over several days.

Of course, there was no way for those without any skill correction and no experience shooting a bow to hit the target properly.

But still, one thing is certain.

Jjuuuk twang!

The fact that the players pulled the highly elastic bowstring without even thinking about it, which would have been difficult for an ordinary person to even pull.

And even though it was not possible to hit the desired target, it was possible to fire the arrow up to 150m.

In the first place, this body used by players was on a different level from that of ordinary people.

This meant that even if the software was poor, the hardware itself was no different from a superhuman.

In addition, the First Viscount provided all military supplies, including bows and arrows, to all 2,000 soldiers, so there was no reason for the players to refuse.

And it was no different from a nightmare for Viscount’s soldiers.

Patter. Push poop!

“Ouch!”

“My legs!!”

“Ahh! help me!”

Thousands of arrows suddenly began pouring down, along with various magical attacks flying everywhere.

It was nearly impossible to block it with just a small shield and leather armor.

furthermore.

“Wake! “Everyone go to the enemy camp… ugh.”

Players who specialize in sniping were having difficulty sorting out the confusion as they were only targeting the commander in the enemy camp.

When several knights came running from the enemy’s main camp and ordered the infantry to charge, the soldiers with their shields raised in front of their heads began to rush forward.

“Wow!”

But their shouts were weak.

Breaking 150m while avoiding the rain of arrows and magic attacks was like jumping into a fire while carrying a haystack.

And that fact could be noticed more clearly from the main camp on the hill.

The 4,000-strong vanguard of Jajajaja had already been reduced to less than half, and as he got closer to the enemy line, he could see at a glance that the troops were melting away in real time.

“How did this happen! “What are our archers doing?”

Viscount Jeremy cried out in disbelief, but his archers were already shooting arrows hard.

However, the attack did not pose much of a threat to the player camp.

The tower shield barrier effectively protected the wizards and archers, and one or more tanks placed in each group adequately blocked the blind arrows.

“Ahh!”

Even if there is a player who gets hit by an arrow.

「Injured person in Group B-13」

「Reception. The medical team is dispatched now.”

According to the report delivered through real-time communication, treatment players were immediately treating the wound.

“Tsk. “This can’t be right…”

Garlond, who was the leader and commander of Viscount Jeremy’s knights, let out a groan as he grabbed the reins.

This is because I could never have imagined such an outcome.

‘Where on earth do those weapons and arrows keep appearing? No, what are those guys in the first place?’

In general, the reason infantry classes were divided was due to differences in weapon proficiency, but also in terms of supply.

This is because there is a limit to the weapons that soldiers can bring with them when they are sent into battle.

From the commander’s perspective, how much easier would it be to plan a strategy if there were an all-purpose soldier who could hold a shield, use a spear, use a bow, and even use a sword at close range?

However, if you were to go into battle with so many different weapons hanging from your body, it was obvious that you would be exhausted before you even fought.

But I never thought such ridiculous all-weather soldiers would really appear.

This was an advantage that only players with a fraudulent supply warehouse called inventory had.

Bae Do-hyeon only used it appropriately, but from the perspective of the commander he was dealing with, it was like a ghost crying.

‘Ugh, if this goes on…’

It was a foregone conclusion that the infantry would be annihilated and the battle would be lost.

Garlond bit his lip and turned his head.

“Lord Yannick, could you please go forward?”

“This is true. “I can’t help it.”

He also knew that there was no answer as he was looking at the tragedy in front of him.

And after a while.

Pow!

The elite soldiers from the Marquess of MacNeill who were guarding the main camp and the remaining infantry were deployed to the battlefield, and at the same time, the cavalry, led by Yannick and the knights, began to rush toward the battlefield.

“Leave the enemy infantry to the infantry and we attack the enemy!”

Yannick chose a detour rather than a head-on attack.

This is because there was no intention of wrestling with the enemy infantry while the friendly infantry had completely melted away.

Anyway, there are only 40 drivers here.

There were 20 expert level drivers alone.

‘It’s enough to just wipe out the 10 or so baron knights in an instant.’

Even though the number of cavalry was much smaller here, it didn’t mean much.

After all, regular cavalry was no different from a big target in front of knights.

However, the movements of such self-authored knights could not escape Bae Do-hyeon’s eyes.

「To level 3 of combat stance!」
