The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 237

Episode 237:

Rumbling.

Siege weapons creaking and pushing their heavy bodies in.

“Wow!”

“Shoot! “Hold it so it doesn’t go back!”

Poobubuk.

The soldiers standing in an orderly manner began to advance with shouts, and some archers and wizards fired arrows and magic.

“Hmm.”

Bae Do-hyeon, who was watching the scene vaguely from atop his horse, slightly swung his spear and struck down several arrows that came close.

‘You also have an impatient personality. I thought there would be at least one or two more fights.’

If I had done that, I would have been able to break their spirit more clearly.

While I was feeling a bit disappointed, this time the magic arrived nearby.

pop! Pubububung!

Of course, there was no way it could reach Bae Do-hyeon.

About 10 daggers loaded with mana accurately pierced and intercepted the magic core coming from the front of Bae Do-hyeon.

Teodeodeodeong!

Bae Do-hyeon, who showed a performance of spinning the spear and hitting the arrow, swung the spear widely and shouted.

“Warning! “No one who sets foot within the walls of Leishen City will return alive!”

Bae Do-hyeon’s voice, which went through Ravel’s loudspeaker magic, swept through the enemy lines.

Was he pressured by the momentum?

I felt like their steps were slightly halting.

And Bae Do-hyeon turned his head without hesitation.

‘There’s no need to be a warrior here. ‘Because it’s not Raoul, it’s Bae Do-hyeon.’

The purpose of going out alone was achieved.

It taught players who didn’t know the subject that not all rankers were the same, and boosted the morale of allies who were outnumbered.

There was no reason to fight on flat ground with an advantageous castle wall.

Some of the enemy knights seemed to be chasing him from behind, but as they got closer to the castle walls, they soon gave up and turned back.

Squeak thud.

“Wow!”

Upon returning through the slightly open gate, numerous soldiers and citizens greeted Bae Do-hyeon with shouts and applause.

“That’s amazing, Sir Bae Do-hyeon! “That was really cool!”

“It wasn’t a very difficult opponent. “The real fight starts now, so I’ll climb the castle wall right away.”

“Oh, as expected. Please take care of me!”

The head of the family, Foreado, handed Bae Do-hyeon a canteen containing wine with an expression of admiration.

Bae Do-hyeon slightly bowed his head, accepted it, and immediately climbed up the castle wall.

Ilwoo and the guild members above the castle gate were giving their thumbs up.

“The arrangement was as planned. There is no need to be scared even if an armor user appears. “Because they are two or three levels lower than the First Knights.”

“Leave it to me. “I’ll show you that there are people in the Purple Guild other than Bae Do-hyun!”

The guild members looked confident and Bae Do-hyeon believed in them.

“okay. “Let’s make them realize in their bones who their enemy is.”

“okay!”

They were scattered all over the walls.

The siege has begun.

* * *

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

“…Kwaaak!”

Linda’s lightly fired arrow pierced the chest of an enemy soldier approaching from about 150 meters away.

The fact that it flew straight rather than curved made it look like it had been fired from a crossbow rather than a bow.

“…hmm. “The standard is definitely high.”

Linda wet her lips with her tongue and muttered to herself.

Of course, I was not talking about the level of the soldiers.

What she was talking about was the level of equipment of the soldiers.

It looked like an ordinary soldier, but the arrow lost its power after barely piercing the body of one person.

Her arrow pierced two or three monsters with one shot, so she seemed to be wearing quite high-quality armor.

‘Now that we’ve covered the basics, shall we get started?’

It was her time until she approached the castle walls.

Kirilik.

Three unusual arrows, three times larger than ordinary arrowheads, were hung on the string at once.

‘Go!’

Tooung.

With a sound so heavy that it could not be considered the sound of arrows being released, three arrows flew toward the enemy camp, drawing red trails.

Quaaaang!

“Aaaah!”

“Ahh~ my arm!”

It was a scene too destructive to believe it was the result of three arrows.

The arrowhead exploded just before impact, tearing the fragile human body to pieces with the power of mana.

The three arrows that exploded in a fan shape took the lives of about 30 soldiers at once.

Dozens of surrounding soldiers caught in the explosion were bleeding from fragments, and more than anything, there was fear in their eyes.

The problem is that there are not only three such arrows.

Quaaaang! bang!

An explosion followed from where her arrow flew.

‘Tch…you reacted faster than I thought.’

Her [Santanshi] defeated over a hundred soldiers, but soon began to be blocked.

This was because the enemies had captain-level shield soldiers who used mana.

She changed the arrow.

Unusually, everything from the bow tip to the bow stem was black.

Let’s go!

Throw in!

Her arrow pierced the shield and lodged itself in the neck of an enemy commander-level soldier.

And the next moment.

Quaaaang!

The Santanshi flew in again, dug into the gap, and swept through the enemy camp.

‘Try to stop it again.’

Her hands were busy shooting the bow.

* * *

“Close up the gap! “Make sure shield soldiers block projectiles!”

Commanders hastily expanded the camp to reduce damage.

I knew that knights could easily pierce shields if they fired arrows filled with mana, but I had never heard of an arrow exploding so widely.

In the end, the damage was reduced only when training knights who were on standby were deployed to block the magic.

“The damage to the soldiers is too great. What should I do?”

It was natural for damage to occur during a siege. And honestly, the soldiers’ only role was to place ladders on the walls and apply pressure.

Occupying the real castle walls was the responsibility of knights of the training knight level or higher who could at least manipulate mana.

However, if things continued like this, all the soldiers might be used up before ladders or siege weapons could be moved to the castle walls.

“Send in mercenaries.”

The field commander frowned and made a decision.

Originally, the mercenaries’ role was to secure space by deploying to the walls after the ladders were placed, but it was an unavoidable situation.

fluttering.

When the rider waved the flag, the soldiers’ camp widened and the road opened.

And it was the players who emerged through it all.

The players of the Ripple Association began to move towards the castle wall, each holding their own weapons.

* * *

Piung!

The arrow fired by Bae Do-hyeon pierced between the eyes of a player.

The surrounding players are startled and move around, hiding behind their shields.

‘I knew it.’

Bae Do-hyeon looked down at the situation on the battlefield and smiled bitterly.

The camp of the attackers, who had been driving their troops with great vigor, was in ‘a mess’.

The initial sense of order had disappeared, and people who were scattered in groups and groups, hiding behind shields, were slowly approaching.

The distance between them and the castle wall is still about 70 to 80 meters.

But I wondered if they would be able to reach the castle walls if things continued like this.

As the damage from long-distance attacks increased, the enemy’s strategy of putting the player first was not bad.

In fact, unlike the soldiers, the players were able to block the magic of Linda’s Santanshi and the Tenba family wizards quite well.

Shields and armor made from monster by-products.

Shield magic and protection magic for wizard players.

Blessings and buffs for clergy players.

When they were combined, mana-laden arrows and magic were effectively blocked.

Their response by forming a party by guild was certainly excellent, but…

‘It’s useless if the balance is broken.’

Piung!

Bae Do-hyeon’s arrow was not enough to pierce the tank player’s shield; it also pierced two more players.

It wasn’t difficult for Bae Do-hyeon to break through that level of defense without even having to load the auror.

‘It’s not noticeable, so it’s good to show off your real skills.’

Bae Do-hyeon’s level was too high for players barely around level 50 to block.

Once he had surpassed level 100, known as the Wall of Demons, and reached the level of master, even the ordinary arrows he fired were incredibly threatening.

When Bae Do-hyun defeated the tanker, the wizard and priest players were exposed to the attack.

Pow! Push!

Sure enough, a barrage of fire magic and arrows flew in and turned them into a beehive.

‘This time there.’

Piung~ Puk!

Bae Do-hyeon’s arrow sniped at the tanker of the party that was ahead of him.

The subsequent concentrated attack wiped out the party.

When this happened, the attackers’ camp was completely destroyed.

Players have realized that the moment they step to the front of the line, they become targets.

‘Why the fuck do I need to carry a gun?’

‘Let’s just pretend to walk.’

If you die first, the death penalty is greater even if the siege is successful and you receive the quest reward.

The belly button becomes bigger than the stomach.

Even though it’s a game, who would want to take on the role of arrow catcher?

“Run now! Don’t you know that the sooner you stick to the castle wall, the less damage you will get?”

“It’s a Gilma order! “Get out quickly!”

“Do you want to be fired from the guild? “Follow orders!”

No matter how much the Ripple Association executives shouted and threatened, the players only paid attention and remained steadfast.

Reluctantly, he walked slowly with his shield in front of him, but even if a few arrows flew at him, he cowered and stopped walking again.

Some archers and wizards counterattacked from behind the shields toward the castle walls, but honestly, it had no effect.

The defenders also had strong shields, and even though the large-scale barriers blocking magic cannons had stopped, the basic magic defenses surrounding the castle walls were still in operation.

‘The commanders are going to be in full attire. haha.’

In fact, belatedly, the soldiers of the Zeredu family were coming back to the front line to run towards the castle wall.

However, the players’ formations are already twisted and the path is blocked like an obstacle, so it becomes stagnant.

In short, it was a total mess.

The unfortunate thing was that the number of those idiots could not be significantly reduced.

This is because, except for Bae Do-hyeon and the Purple Guild members, there was not enough firepower to deal with the players hiding behind their shields.

‘What does it matter?’

The result won’t change anyway.

“Wow!”

“Hurry up quickly!”

“Push!”

The attackers, who had been fidgeting for a while, finally arrived at the castle walls.

Funnily enough, the ladders were installed only after Unje and the siege tower arrived, so it is safe to say that the soldiers could hardly do their job.

Unje is large enough for three or four people to climb on it at the same time.

A siege tower that can be reached by walking up the stairs to the height of the castle wall and crossing it via a bridge.

Such siege weapons were attached to various parts of the castle walls, and as the soldiers belatedly climbed up their personal ladders, a full-scale hand-to-hand combat began.

The soldiers on the wall were pushing ladders, stabbing spears, and firing crossbows, trying their best to knock the enemies off the wall.

“Do not give space to your enemies!”

“There is no need to kill! “Push it down!”

The height of the castle wall is about 15m.

It was a height where someone wearing armor would never be able to recover if they fell.

For a while, soldiers were pushed back while trying to attack the walls, and eventually players began to climb onto the walls through Unje and siege towers.

“Fuck you. “They’re all dead now!”

“Arrest the commander first, not the soldiers! “You have to fill the guild’s public values!”

Minimum level 30.

The emergence of players who could handle mana and were armed with knight-level skills was a huge threat to the defenders.

No, I should have.

“Ugh. I’m tired of waiting. “Let’s finish it quickly.”

Pababababat.

“Uh…?”

“…Fuck Kim Il-woo.”

Kim Il-woo’s clones rose from the shadows of the players in the siege tower.

Pushasak! Suck!

A bloody wind raged inside the siege tower.

When the gray sword energy disappeared, about twenty players on the upper level of the siege tower had turned into lumps of blood.

“Let’s see, where’s next?”

Kim Il-woo’s figure seeped into the floor like a shadow.

pop! Quagwang!

“What is it, a tank!”

“Someone do something!”

Whiuuung! Quagwang!

“Kwaaah~ ah.”

In front of another siege tower.

A giant nearly 2 meters tall stood in front of the players, holding a shield as big as his height and a Morning Star with a bloody protrusion.

It was Manninger, the main tank of the Purple Guild.

As he charged forward with his shield, the players standing on the siege tower were pushed away like bowling pins and rolled on the floor. When he swung the Morning Star, three players caught in its trajectory broke the wall of the siege tower and fell out.

Flutter. bang.

“Wow.”

Manninger, who slashed the head of a fallen player with his shield, stomped on another player’s face with his spiked iron boots, causing blood to burst out.

“…Go for it.”

The players took a step back without realizing it.

“Geekigeek!”

“Kkkkkkkk!”

Monkeys holding daggers ran wild among the players and soldiers climbing up the hill.

“The knife won’t get stuck!”

“Ahh! “It’s hairy!”

Those who managed to climb the castle wall had their necks bitten by fox and wolf monsters.

“Flame Shot!”

Boom~ Boom!

And the fiery arrow fired by Han Seohyun, who had the Firebird on her shoulder, set the entire ladder on fire.

“This is a scam! How can Hwansu be of a higher level than the master?”

The player who confirmed the information opened his eyes and shouted.

This is because while Han Seohyun’s level is 67, all of her phantom beasts are above level 70.

Sizzling!

But soon his head was smashed by the paws of a huge white bear.

“Ahhhh no!”

And the two players, caught in the claws of a huge falcon with a wingspan of 5 meters, were dragged up into the sky screaming.

As Bae Do-hyeon warned, none of those who stepped onto the walls that day survived.
