The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 189
Chapter 189
Before we knew it, the enemy infantry camp approaching the players was completely annihilated.
The moment the distance was reduced to 50m, the players took out crossbows with powerful destructive power, and the wizards unleashed mid-range destructive magic.
It could be said to be an overwhelming victory, but this side was not completely without damage.
This is because it was not easy to completely block the barrage of arrows fired by a thousand longbowmen.
Dozens of players who had the misfortune of hitting a vital spot or receiving delayed treatment were game over, and the number was slowly increasing.
「Three-level formation!」
The formations of players who had been divided into groups were united again.
Now it is our turn to advance towards the enemy lines.
While the players advanced, each holding a shield, the 500 players at the front stayed in their positions.
“Then, please take care of the main unit.”
“We will take care of your viscount’s side.”
Bae Do-hyeon and other purple guild and top-ranked players did not head to the enemy camp, but stayed there and waited.
Because they were a separate unit to deal with enemy knights and cavalry.
A 1500 player under the command of a cooperative guild leader could easily handle the remaining infantry and archers on the Viscount’s side.
And in the meantime, the enemy knights who had bypassed the infantry clashed with the baron’s cavalry.
* * *
Chang! Suck!
“Wipe it all away!”
“You can’t be pushed! Block the road!”
The cavalry of both sides clashed and a melee began.
It was none other than knights from both sides who crossed swords on the front lines.
The Mana Blade and Mana Sword collided with each other, emitting light.
However, of course, it is impossible for 10 people to block all 40 knights.
The knights who were unable to mark jumped among the cavalry and brandished their weapons mercilessly.
Seokeng
“Ahh!”
The mana blade was not enough to cut off the cavalry’s spear and passed through his chest.
“Ugh! “Don’t fight head-on, focus on defense!”
“Protect the Great Knight Battle formation!”
Cavalry commanders mixed in and out gave orders and tried to somehow prevent the knights from breaking through.
Empty! Boom!
“Pfft. Ugh!”
The cavalrymen, holding out large two-handed shields as if they were not going to attack, blocked the knights’ path.
The shield, which was made by layering monster leather on top of iron, was not immediately broken by the knights’ mana blades.
“You turtles! Do you think that’s all you can do to stop us? Everyone activate your armor!”
When the path was blocked for a moment, Yannick gave instructions.
Shuuuung.
When ten of the 40 knights activated their power armor, the battlefield began to change again.
“Kkk armor activated!”
Although the five armor users on the Baron side responded belatedly, it was not easy to overturn the absolute numerical difference.
“Euracha!”
One armor user struck down a battle ax filled with reinforced mana blades.
bang! Damn.
“Ugh!”
The shield that had been holding up with great difficulty split apart in an instant, and the horse’s leg, unable to withstand the impact, broke and the cavalryman rolled around on the ground.
“Who else will stand in my way!”
With a shrill cry, the knight swung his ax menacingly in the air.
but.
“You can’t pass in front of this!”
Even though they knew that the Baron’s elite horsemen were no match for them, they blocked the knights’ path.
“You leech bastards! In that case, I will kill you all!”
bang! Quagwang!
The cavalrymen were pushed back or fell from their horses due to the one-sided attack.
Thanks to the shield, there were very few cases of death at once, but it was difficult to survive if you fell from your horse on the battlefield where cavalry clashed.
“Duuljeorat!”
The self-made knight struck the head of a fallen cavalryman with his ax and spear.
“Ugh!”
Tang!
“…?”
“Quickly get to the rear!”
“Yes, yes!”
The knight’s ax spear bounced off the spear blocking its path and failed to achieve its purpose.
And the owner of that window.
“What are you?”
“As you can see, they are cavalrymen.”
The man who shrugged his shoulders was none other than a knight of the First Knights, dressed as a soldier belonging to Baron Selpierd.
If possible, he did not try to intervene in the battlefield, but he did not want the cavalry line to collapse and the Baron was captured, so he finally appeared.
“That’s funny. “Just a cavalryman blocked my spear?”
“Yes, but.”
Whiing!
The ax spear with the mana blade rising cut him in a semicircle.
“Oh my.”
He looked surprised and leaned back from his horse to avoid the spear’s path.
“this guy! Avoid this too!”
The feverish knight continued to stab with his ax and spear.
Tang Teodong!
The cavalry skillfully deflected or threw away the ax spear with the spear holder.
“Oh my gosh, you’re so scared.”
There was no trace left on the window sill.
‘…! He’s a master.’
It looked like an ordinary window, but I could feel it the moment it hit me.
That window is full of mana.
And being able to store mana in a weapon without it being revealed to the outside world…
‘A person with at least intermediate expert skills!’
“Who are you!” “What kind of family is this knight that intervenes in the battlefield wearing such a trivial disguise?”
“It’s just a cavalry?”
“Fuck that nonsense, you dirty bastard!”
The knight swung his ax and spear with as much force as he could.
Although he was an expert beginner, he was a promising player whose potential was recognized by the Marquis of McNeil, so he could not be stranded on a battlefield like this.
‘Damn it!’
But it didn’t work at all.
The other person was acting shakily, pretending to take it with difficulty, but it was clear that it did not cause the slightest shock.
One thing that is fortunate is that the other party is not counterattacking at all.
‘In that case, I just attack as best I can.’
The self-authored knight began swinging his ax and spear roughly again.
It didn’t just happen to the knight with the ax and spear.
The Baron’s knights, who were unable to mark them, were intercepted by unidentified horsemen and completely stranded.
And right then.
“Wow!”
“It’s finally a real battle!”
“The merit reward is mine!”
“That’s funny because I’m going to catch them all?”
A detachment of 500 men separated from the player’s main force attacked from behind Viscount’s cavalry.
“What is it?”
“Shit, turn around and deal with the infantry first!”
“Is the vanguard still far away?”
Viscount’s cavalry greeted the players in an awkward state.
bang! Suck!
“Aaaah!”
“It’s the Mana Blade!”
“help me!”
And in an instant, it began to be swept away.
Melee players poured out their attack weapons as if they had been waiting for this moment.
Push! Pibig!
“Oops!”
“It’s a sniper!”
And the archer and thief players fired arrows and daggers among their allies to snipe at the enemy cavalry.
Rumbling.
Flutter!
Wizards and psychics neutralized enemies through various attacks, such as shaking the ground and shooting stone thorns.
The author’s knights immediately noticed the anomaly.
“Lord Gale, Lord Corban. “Check the rear!”
“Yes, Captain.”
Following Sir Yannick’s instructions, two armor users left the front line and headed to the rear.
“You guys! How dare you go on a rampage like this!”
“I’ll kill you all!”
When two armor users appeared, there was an uproar in the player camp.
Of course, it wasn’t because I was scared.
“Armor user! “It’s a raid mob!”
“One person’s public value exceeds a thousand!”
“I’ll catch that one!”
“It’s mine, no one should touch it!”
Like wild beasts fighting over their prey, the players put everything aside and began rushing towards the two armor users like a tide.
“What?”
Armor users Gale and Koban were momentarily taken aback by the completely different reaction from what they expected.
But soon the embarrassment turned into anger.
“How dare these!”
“I’ll make you realize fractions!”
Two expert intermediate armor users pulled out a mana blade of about 2m from their battle axe and ax spear, respectively, and swung them strongly.
Shhhhh!!
“Ahh!”
“shit!”
The dark brown mana blade instantly split the bodies of the five approaching players in two.
Hiss tick.
Push type.
In the meantime, arrows and fire magic flew in, aiming for the gap, but they were blocked by the power armor’s force field and could not inflict even the slightest damage.
“Keep shooting!”
“Let’s attack together!”
However, the players did not give up and rushed back.
Even if you died, you could just resurrect, and in the case of raid hunting, loot is automatically distributed according to contribution, so the idea was to get a shot at it somehow.
bang! Plop!
Seokyeong. Push!
Of course, not everything can be solved with willpower.
Ranged attacks were blocked by the force field and could not cause much damage, and melee players’ skills were only blocked in front of the enormous mana blade.
“Are you just going to watch?”
Kim Il-woo asked Bae Do-hyeon, who was slightly behind.
“for now. “There’s no need to intervene now and get criticized.”
“But if it continues like this, the damage will be too great.”
“They also have to experience some crisis to grow. Honestly, you’ve only experienced very comfortable battles so far, right?”
“But…”
I gave him the position of president of the association, and he seemed to be worried.
Bae Do-hyeon tapped Il-woo on the shoulder and spoke again.
“hmm. Ilwoo, there is no need to coddle them too much. Because they are also ranked among the highest ranking players. “Other than that, you can’t trust anyone but us Purple Guild members?”
“Of course not! But there’s no need to force damage that doesn’t need to be suffered, right?”
“Do you see it that way in your eyes? I don’t think if I intervene now, nothing good will come out of it later. And wait and see. “It may be the first time, but we will soon find a way to destroy it.”
Bae Do-hyun, who has been in the Connect world for over 15 years, knows players’ tendencies better than anyone else.
‘If you don’t know when to put it on and when to take it off, the only thing that will happen is a fight.’
Ilwoo didn’t realize that yet.
But even if you don’t like it, sooner or later the day will come when you will realize the two sides of the players.
And Bae Do-hyun’s prediction was not wrong.
The players who had been recklessly rushing in were finally starting to realize their mistake.
“There is no answer to this! “We have to form properly and attack!”
“Looking for a temporary party! “Two tanks, one ADC!”
“Chase guild members gather here! “Let’s grab each other and go in!”
Players who had consistently played individually formed parties in earnest.
Tank players who specialized in defense supported the frontline damage dealers, and the archers stayed far away.
The wizards gathered among themselves and began to think of magic combinations that would work well together, and the medical team was providing first aid to players who had lost limbs.
“You rat bastards! “What difference do you think that will make?”
The knights came swinging their weapons targeting the players.
But the result was completely different from before.
Deukdeukdeuk! Empty!
“I blocked it!”
“Take advantage of the gap!”
“Let’s take it down slowly, starting with the station leader!”
Tank players deflected attacks with shields filled with mana, and muscle dealers took advantage of the opportunity to stab with spear knives.
Hehehe.
The knights’ horses fell first due to the attack that took advantage of the gap.
The knights who lost their mobility were caught between the players’ shield wall and were stranded.
“Get out of the way, you guys!”
“Where!”
Crack! Crack!
After clearly surrounding all sides, the players’ formation showed much more strength.
Knight Gale roughly swung his battle ax and sent the two shield soldiers flying, but other tanks right behind them took their place.
“Holy shit!”
He kicks the floor and tries to jump over the players.
“Gravity!”
“Force of Wind!”
“Stay there quietly!”
Various abilities, including gravity, wind, and telekinesis, flew in and blocked his path.
“Look, am I right?”
Ilwoo could only nod his head.
