Golden Experience

I need to talk to you about something.

By the time Bambu spoke that way, he had already prepared even a tentative base.

We have been talking about attacking a human state since the opening of the SNS dedicated to clans.

I gave Rae an account from this point on, so I guess I was watching the conversation then.

In this way, if I didn't say anything, I might have suggested it from the other side.

Consultation at this time meant "which country would be better if we attacked", but if we had a base, it seemed to be already decided.

After all, it seems that Rare and those Lyla players - Magnum Clan - are lurking in the center of every country on the continent, and if they want to deal with the human state, they will always clash with them.

It is only natural that meetings should be held beyond the framework of cooperation.

Rae has invited me to join her in this magnumerm.

Lyla went out of her way to intimidate me in a friend chat, but she didn't say anything against it.

For Bamboo, it becomes a clan thing, and I am quite busy thinking about my own dungeon, but in fact, it is about making MPC equipment that needs to act on its own. Regarding Magnum's activities, for the time being, MPC management alone seemed sufficient, and there was no problem with participation.

However, Bamboo felt that it might be a little weak to have himself among these members.

Rae even has me fully sponsored on the MPC thing for free.

On top of that, I thought that if a clearly weaker bumb joined the clan as a member, he would not be able to raise his head even more, and the answer was put on hold.

By this time, they had noticed the identity of Rare, even though they were neglecting the world.

Even so, I was convinced only recently.

It was when I went to the Reeve Forest, the designated place to receive top metal offerings such as Adamas and Carbytes.

Even though I designated that place as the rendezvous point, it was like I had complete control of the area.

Speaking of Reebe Great Forest, Bambu is also the second official event to destroy the city, a place where it is said that a seventh calamity was born that, unlike Bambu, caused even the country to be destroyed.

If you know the neighborhood, Rae is either in control of its seventh calamity, or the demons that are supposedly the seventh calamity. No, even if the family was in the seventh calamity, you could say that if that mastermind was rare, in a broad sense, she was a calamity.

In addition, the name of the Rebe Great Forest has appeared on the SNS before.

Immediately after the first official event, the Battle Royal.

There were rumors that the winner of that event usually earned money in that forest.

Even so, the credibility was considered doubtful.

Soon afterwards, the forest became a completely dangerous area at the next event, so it was thought that the winner, including the Battle Royal itself, would operate to bring the player's attention to the forest.

The winner is rare.

If so, it is natural to think that she was originally a monster rather than suspicious of the operation, and that on top of that she succeeded in earning experience efficiently, unlike Bamboo, winning the first event with her power, and then grew further and entered the country based in the big forest. I guess that's the right answer.

"We're diving into the hub of all the countries," Magnumerm said. Normally, there's no clapping, but it's no surprise if Rae is the seventh disaster and has just the power to be said so.

First of all, it is easy to understand about the wealth. That's the rumored Virgin. That is what Rare calls a "costume." We have not yet heard of its specific means, but there is no doubt that the Virgin is under Rare's complete control.

Perhaps Rae will use the Virgin as a stepping stone to gain control of the Episcopal Church and then feed into the heart of the Wells kingdom.

I don't even know about Portley. But I don't.

It seems that before that country unjustly occupied the villages of the former Kingdom of Hills.

From what I've seen of SNS writing, the revenge was that a mysterious army of skeletons attacked the kingdom and the king was defeated.

Definitely a rare one.

It just doesn't look like the Portley kingdom has perished yet, according to the official website, so it didn't uproot the royalty, it didn't destroy the king's capital.

It would be reasonable to assume that the King's fall led to a regime change and sent their breathtaking men into important posts in the new regime.

Speaking of regime change again, the Oral Kingdom is remembered.

That was made up of the second event that the Kingdom of Hills doomed, the military coup that took place later in the day.

The royal castle itself seemed to be a nearly bloodless oppression, and fighting in the streets was mostly between knights, so it seems that there were quite a few deaths.

But from the point of view that the Knights of the ancient kings are still functioning, it is clear that the king is still alive after the coup d 'état. Such a thing is impossible when you think about it normally. It seems to have left an entire military force under the previous regime, because the military power of the previous regime also allowed policing activities.

It is too unusual, but it would be satisfactory if we assumed full control of the former King.

I don't know what kind of demon that rare is, but it definitely dominates the undead, the goblins, and the ants at least. At this point, it's impossible given the effects of Bambu's known 'servants'. Where there is now a kind of increase in human beings, there is no change.

And the kingdom of Pairé is home to Bamboo.

Therefore, the SNS is checked carefully.

Rumor has it that a mysterious robe NPC has appeared in a dungeon near the city of Keefa.

Definitely rare.

There was also a black one, so Lyla seemed to have accompanied her.

If that is the case, then the future of that country is already decided.

I don't know about the shapes either because they haven't had much noticeable events, but I saw the writing that some cities were destroyed by giants in addition to the third event, the Angel Raid.

In addition, it seems that the overall security of the city has become unstable recently, or that NPC fights and strife have often been witnessed.

I don't know how these relate, but perhaps the poison that Magnum shot into the Shape Kingdom is already slowly beginning to circulate.

"─ ─ Well, in the sense of poison that he shot in, I don't have to say that I was shot in here myself."

"Master, did you say something?

"No, I'm talking to myself"

I was in the middle of an operational meeting.

It can be done on SNS, but on the other hand, there is the advantage of being able to keep logs, and on the other hand, the possibility of being seen by irrelevant people cannot be eliminated.

You need to be logged in to view it, and you need Bumb's permission to create an account for it, but even that doesn't necessarily mean you don't have a scratching presence.

If so, it should be somewhat more secure in the game that you can't log in without linking your VR module's personal verification to your account.

But let's not forget that there is a risk of information leakage due to the unique analogue means in the game here - physical infiltration, eavesdropping, etc.

"All prospective participants have already assembled in this makeshift facility."

"Yes, you can always"

"All right, we're on schedule. We'll start the operation at this time tomorrow in real time. This raid will take place in Grossmunt, the city next to King Werth's capital. I don't know how far I can go, but I'd like to put this city under complete control if possible. I wish I could be the base for the rest of the operation."

"Master, even if you say you're a player, don't you want to dungeon us if we're the monsters alone?

"That's probably not a problem. Even if we suppress it, we should still be in the city. However, it will be difficult to leave a safety area. There is no combat action in the safety area, so players and NPCs will not be able to take action."

Bamboo has had a hard time in Neuschross before.

"What do you do?

"Destroy every building from the outside. What distinguishes the safety area from the outside is a specific object, and I can't say it all because this is different for each safety area, but in the city, the building is definitely the first thing. Destroy him and the safety and personal areas will disappear. This is why it's so hard to leave it behind. Maybe, as a result, the city's safety areas will all be destroyed."

If this is a safety area prepared in the forest or wilderness, it is difficult to destroy because the key objects are buried in the ground, but it is an easier category in the streets.

"After the oppression, I'll have the family of a more general race guard the city. That way we can keep our players safe while we sleep. The rotation of security will be discussed again after suppression.

Anyone have any questions at the moment?

I look around, but nobody raises their hand. It doesn't seem to be a problem.

Not all members are in the meeting, but at least all the general players are present. Since no one has become a race on top of it, there are only generals, if you say more than generals.

"All right, then, prepare yourselves. Try to stay in position 30 minutes before the operation starts."

Even in NPC countries, there is a declaration of the end of the attack by angels.

Some countries, such as Paires and Shapes, either do not give such a thing, but the State and the Episcopal Church had issued such statements in a coalition with regard to Oral, Portry and here in Werth.

The difference is probably the difference in influence caused by Magnum.

In other words, in Orals, Portleys, and Wealth, we are so focused that we can get the government to make statements.

That said, it's not exactly a lie, and considering the situation, it's certain that the angel's assault is calming down. It is impossible to determine whether influence is enough to force the government to obey.

"Master, the enemy garrison has been cleared. We will take control of the city before reinforcements arrive from King's Landing."

"Oops, we're on schedule. Let's keep going."

"Yes!"

With the declaration of cessation of angel raids issued, most of the defenses that the Kingdom of Wealth had also sent to various locations had been raised.

That is even more pronounced in these peaceful cities without walls, which are not originally bordered by the realm of demons.

In order to give rest to the soldiers and knights who made up the defense units dispatched, the defense capabilities of each country are temporarily lower than they were before the angel attack. It is also a sort of backlash.

The Bamboos planned the raid for this gap.

Rare told me that the troops and local lords would behave like that, even if the state did not explicitly instruct them to do so. When it comes to the NPC of a game, it doesn't mean you can ignore fatigue and keep acting. It's only natural to think about it, but I didn't realize it until I was told.

Especially now, Grossmunt is far from the realm of monsters and close to the King's City. In that case, the Lord's policy tends to be very similar to that of King's Landing. Because the city can only survive in the form of a spill of prosperity of the King's City without the power and vigour to live on its own. Grossmunt will follow if the middle smells like a rest for the soldiers.

The prospect was correct, as was the defense team that was in Grossmund, to the extent that hair grew on something like a permanent vigilante.

It seems certain that it is an economically stable city, and the equipment was nothing less splendid than that of a knight, but the contents make no sense while the mud dolls.

And the regular knights, who would be wearing even more fine gear, appeared to be guarding the lord's mansion and did not come out to defend the city.

"I don't know what to say, but it's a lot harder than when I attacked the city at the last event."

With the help of Magnumerm to reduce his power in advance, but he's weak.

Bamboo's assumption was that it was at this stage that he would bump into the Knights, but he didn't expect to ignore the city and enter the protection of the Consulate.

In that Neuschross, the atmosphere from the beginning was exactly like a total battle, with both soldiers and residents confronting the Goblins who were coming to collect their weapons.

"I guess it's national. No, was this continent more independent on a city by city basis than a country? Then it's the Lord's problem."

"This is the kind of city that thrives on the spills of the capital."

Due to the lack of walls, it is often seen that skeletons and goblins flock into the city.

The Skeletons and Goblins are mostly family members of the General, but there are players everywhere.

More or less strong individuals, like those who defeated the defensive forces, are likely.

They cut ahead and slashed the inhabitants.

When a family member, Goblin or Skeleton, kills the inhabitants, the experience is summed up by Generals, the master.

Residents of the enemy are weak and tend to have a lot of trouble with this family.

As the taste of players without family members was low, arrangements were made to give priority to players as much as possible.

The demons of their families basically mean that they only use them for the purpose of maintaining a dominated house or community or exerting numerical pressure.

The same is true of the gas lake that Rare borrowed, which is still on the side of the bamboo.

If I make it a bump, it seems like my boss is watching me and I can't let it out. Anyway, here Gaslak is supposed to be a family member of Bamboo.

Contact with a group wearing more splendid armor than before! Enter the battle!

A contact from a player on the front line, Hobbgoblin Gladiator.

The monster race has a professional name, but it's only easier to understand.

Gladiators are a species that can be chosen if they meet special conditions when reborn from Night to Leader. Unlike Leaders, Gladiators cannot progress to General, but they are a species with high individual combat power. Depending on your player skills, if you have a small family, you can crush each family to win.

"You finally have a knight. I think we can't ignore the damage done to the city's inhabitants already, but it's too late."

I see. Even if we were stopped here, it would be difficult to rebuild this city. "

supplement the words of the Cobolt General house cage refraining beside.

This house cage was the first player in that meadow to speak to Bumb, and now he calls himself the deputy master of the clan.

At that time, he was only a goblin leader, but he later reborn into the covoltic system and grew into a generalist with experience that he seemed to have earned even more.

Skeleton General's Skeleton Generals, who once reported the equipment incident to Bamboo, also appeared to have named the Sub-Master, but he was friendly even if there were a few other deputy generals, especially since he didn't seem to be colliding.

The skeletoy was bloody, and it was against the rules to make the family attack, but the player himself seemed to have no problem, so he let the family stay there and stormed himself.

"─ The public reaction is well within our expectations. Some winds suspect that Goblin and Skeleton are raids by demonic players because they are the main ones, but others deny it because of the presence of Cobolt. You can't choose Kobolt at the start of the game, and players who only see the official SNS. Then it's hard to know the facts of Kobolt reincarnation"

"─ Plus, this large number seems to be a factor in denying the player theory. You know there's a" messenger "out there, but it doesn't look like anyone thought about the player, or the demon player, getting it already."

I don't know if there are cases of monsters of multiple races teaming up to attack people, but if there are other such cases, it is unlikely that the attack was caused by the Player's Clan.

The mighty monster of the continent behind the players' minds is the Seventh Disaster.

She follows insect-based monsters and undead, sometimes with double-headed dragons these days.

It can be said that there is no more conspicuous advertising tower than the existence of multiple monsters.

It would be helpful if you could mistake this one for its hand at best.

"Ah, it looks like Skeleton defeated the Knight Commander. All you have to do is take control of the Lords Hall and kill the Lords to complete the mission."

"Look at that. No matter how peaceful the city is, it's normal to be stronger than the semi-private players there if you're not the Knights Commander. Knocking it down is a lot of strength."

"... even if the master tells me that..."

Let's say that. Well, some of them are good at one or two. Maybe besides me. "

"─ Is that about a player named" Blanc "or" Lyla "?

I keep the house cage on my side because it has more than that strength and it turns my head, but I got a little upset that this name came out of the house cage.

But it is not surprising in itself that this name appears.

Last time, I was ranked as an aggressor at the second official event because I added three bamboos to it.

Lyla is the rare sister. I haven't heard anything about their relationship, but I'm sure of it. I don't know about Blanc directly, but it's not hard to imagine being one of Magnum's members.

"... I see. Even I was in third place."

"What kind of play did the Master play at that event?

"You were mixing with the demons attacking the city and killing a lot of NPCs. Well, there must have been a mix of players."

"In which country?

This question needs to be answered carefully.

First of all, Oral is out of the question.

The knights of that country are strong. I heard that there was almost no damage at the time of the event.

The worst people died in the battle between the knights during the coup d 'état in King's Land. It is difficult for monster players to earn invasion points against that country.

The same is true of Portree. There are not many, but the strength of each knight is not comparable to that of any other country. Naturally, even at the event, its strength was unfortunately demonstrated, and even if it wasn't as Oral, there certainly wasn't a city that fell.

The shapes are the same in the sense that the knights are strong, but this is where one city falls. Even so, the monster didn't do it. It was the beasts of the neighboring Pairé. The same is true of this country, where it is difficult for monster players to earn points in the city.

What about Werth?

That country is no different from the Hills, a peaceful country with many human beings. The Knights aren't that strong either. However, in the last event, it was possible to minimize the damage.

The reason for this is that the struggle of a small number of strong players was able to converge the raid early. Apparently, players who make heroic moves like that all over the place were inexhaustible over the activity of a player named Guinolegamesh.

Regardless of the strength of the NPC, it could be said that the popularity of the players was high. It would have been a topic if there were monsters who played a prominent role, and it is difficult to think of this as a country where monster players earned points.

Needless to say, it's perfectly fine to answer a pair. Because it's true anyway. In that case, however, it is difficult to conceal that Bambu is the mastermind of the Neuschlos raid, and consider a scenario that is as convincing as it can convince the home cage.

Then there is only the Hills kingdom.

Fortunately, NPC may resent you, but that country is indispensable to a doomed city.

Most of it will be by Rae anyway, but it is surprisingly only confirmed by the King's Capital and the city of Airfaren, which leads to the Reeve Great Forest, and the Lacoline that connects them.

If Bamboo had been involved in the fall of another city, it wouldn't have been a problem.

"─ ─ Hills Kingdom, no, the old Hills Kingdom. I've forgotten the name of the city, but there may have been several cities that were attacked by undead in a row. It's around here. This is just for you ─ ─"

Bambu lowered the mask in the hood and made its ugly face look like a home cage.

Peek into the cobalt blue eyes of the house cage and tell them.

"Actually, I'm a hybrid of goblins and undead. Both goblin and undead can be 'used'. I mean, well, that's why."

It's a lie that you were working in Hills, but otherwise it's true. If you insist, you could 'serve' the undead because you were a sherman race, not because you were undead, but not a big problem.

Because of the plain image, the clan members don't have any Shaman.

"Don't tell anyone. For a while."

"Yes, I understand. I won't tell you....."

"So why did you say that?"

I answered with a distraction because I didn't want to get into it very much.

"... I think the Master is the strongest player I've ever seen, mankind, demons combined"

I see. Thank you very much. "

This was something that Bamboo believed and did not suspect until Rare's Virgin Manipulator killed him that day.

There were two people who were ranked higher than Bamboo in the previous event, but I thought that it would be more about strengths, such as luck or earning points unexpectedly with some support.

Certainly, because of the specifications, high combat power tends to be easier to play in events, but even if you get a lot of experience, it's not just the players who are shaking all the battle-related. It means that such players earned points by playing a gap industrial role.

In fact, it wasn't different, but it didn't destroy the potential to earn such points. That's what the house cage is about.

"Maybe I just don't know the stronger player, as the master says, that that master is a little incredible to be third in invasion points...

Instead of thinking there are players like that, apart from strength, I don't know, there were players who moved beyond our imagination in the efficient part. "

Hmm?

efficiency, is also slightly different from what Bumb assumes when

Push ahead with a hammer.

"The event was divided into points for invasion and defense. Since it is an event called a monster raid, defense is about defending the city of humanity, and you can do other things than invade.

To earn defensive points, you have to protect the city, and if the invasion is the other way around, what is the best credit for earning defensive points? Simply put, it's a city fall. "

Well, yeah.

That's what Bamboo did. Still only took third place though.

"But there is a possibility that you might make more money than that. It's the demise of the nation."

That would be what Rare did. Most of all, she didn't rank it as a result of some kind of deal with the operation.

"So the catastrophe that destroyed the Hills was Bran? Whatever ─ ─"

"Yes, that's just too dramatic. But then I felt uncomfortable. It was the second night that King Hills' capital fell due to disaster. But it was the third evening that the Hills kingdom disappeared from the official website. What is this half-day shift?"

"It was written like an Oral Coup.

It is true that the then Oral King killed the royal family who had exiled from Hills and took the artifact. "

"I saw that writing, too.

However, according to the latest version of the map created by a player called Professor Mori Etty, King Hills and King Oral are quite far apart. Even if you fly a carriage, it's not exactly half a day away. "

I know that player-made maps are highly accurate. Rare also praised it.

"Which means that King Oral will be waiting half a day from King Hills' capital for a royal family who doesn't even know if they will be exiled."

Even if Oral knew that King Hills had been attacked by a catastrophic monster, he would still not be able to send his troops out in time.

In the first place, it would be difficult to know in real time the facts of the attack on King Hills' capital.

Then we must send troops before the Seventh Disaster appears in King Hills' capital.

"... I see. If you say so, it's unnatural."

"One hypothesis can be made by overlapping the presence of players who have earned trespass points here.

That is, the carriage that Blanc and Lyla, who happened to find and raid around the Hills, were the surviving carriages of the Hills royal family and took away their artifacts.

But the information obtained by touching the artifact showed that it was an item that the player, and also the bandit, could not help but have, and sold the artifact off to neighboring Oral. We didn't sell it within Hills because we assumed that the carriage we attacked belonged to the Hills royal family.

Given the timing and location, the Oral City that you would have sold at this time is probably the Hugel Cup. Some of the players' writings on the SNS support that. "

The muscle is passing through.

The Seventh Disaster must have destroyed King Hills' capital - Rare.

However, as in the SNS, it is also certain that the royal family planned an exile and escaped from the king's capital at that time. It is also clear from the timing of the official site update and the subsequent post-Oral Revolution statements.

The Hugelcup story is that the Hugelcup Knight knew the fact less than a few hours after the official certification of the demise of the Hills.

"Then a coup d 'état was staged by the Hugel Cup lord's flag wave, so, normally speaking, the lord, whose ambition grew by acquiring artifacts, thought to defeat the crown and take over the real power of the Oral.

No, but it's too early to prepare and execute, so it's smarter to think that the coup plan itself was planned with the princess, and that the artifact was only a trigger.

If this hypothesis is correct, the phrase "wrongfully murdered the Hills royalty the former king has exiled", which was in a statement made by the new queen after the Oral revolution, would be a lie. It would be deceptive information to hide the original motive for the coup. "

The player who happened to kill the Hills royalty came bearing the artifact, so he used it well.

The fact that it was used for deceptive information is likely that the original coup d 'état was less motivated.

But that doesn't matter to Bumb or the house cage.

However, regarding the Hugel Cup lord, the NPC was also very active in this fight against the Archangels.

Though far away, I saw Bamboo chatting with the Virgin in a glimpse. From that impression, he didn't look like the person who planned the coup, even though he seemed good.

It seems a little out of line with the ambitious statue of the lord, as Home Cage says.

I also remembered the Virgin who was talking to her lord.

I don't know if that was appropriate as a Virgin either, but I'm sure Bambu had at least a sophisticated image.

I once stabbed a spear in the bump, it seems a little different from that girl's image. That seemed like a good way to grow up with that, but at least not shy. It had a more Rin vibe.

The difference in that image is probably, literally, the difference in the contents.

It's the difference between the Virgin herself or Rare's manipulation.

Suppose this tells the lord the same thing.

If the coup d 'état was actually another person wearing the coup d 'état.

If so, that's probably Blanc or Lyla.

In that case, considering the hypothesis of the house cage, it would be that the person who killed the exiled Hills royal family was also the lord of the Hugel Cup.

I haven't known her for a long time, but if it's Lyla, for example, it's no wonder she even had a coup d 'état and even pretended to be the former king of her own sins. It seems like such a thing would be a nasal trumpet.

Given Bran's higher ranking, the mastermind may be Bran, but Bamboo can't imagine someone a little hotter than Rare or Lyla. Bran would probably be an executor.

"... Killing the exiled Hills royalty was the direct cause of Hills' demise. So the player's medal number one will be Blanc and Lyla."

"Yes, plus it could have triggered the subsequent Oral Revolution. I don't know if that adds up as a point.

And this probably doesn't require as much combat power as the Master. "

While we were talking, the lord's mansion was suppressed and the lord was able to kill him safely.

Clan members report clearance one after the other.

Bambu thought as he replied to those disciplines.

I don't know if the idea of a house cage is correct unless I ask them.

That Lyla is just a bandit doesn't fit the image, so one way or another, Bumb's idea based on the house cage hypothesis would be closer to the right answer.

At present, however, there is no material that merely refutes the hypothesis of a home cage.

This means that the cage hypothesis has certain persuasive power.

It's not like we're going to make a trial, and it doesn't matter what the facts are or whether there's evidence.

If this hypothesis were to spread, it would be true for the players.

Someone who is interested in players such as "Lyla" and "Bran" and is able to make open-ended hypotheses.

This house cage player is capable but dangerous.

This needs to be reported.
