Golden Experience

Episode 331: Looks like Lyla asked for it.

Is this city called Zorlen cursed by something, such as being attacked by various monsters and forces in a short period of time?

The word curse is also in the game title, and it seems to be in the special skill that Rare acquired.

In a sense, this Zorlen is a special city that symbolizes this game.

Blanc thought as he watched the Elf Knights desperately resisting the Dwarves' onslaught from above.

It is unusual to be alone.

Azareas need to keep an eye on the city with their shapes, and now, unlike before, we can get in touch as soon as anything happens.

Azarea and the others didn't blame Blanc so much for his solo behavior either, as the distance restrictions could be said to have eased considerably.

Naturally, I came out silently to Weiss.

The red robe covers Blanc's entire body floating over it.

It is woven from the Queen's special silk, just like Rare and Lyla.

It was unclear what would happen if I perverted while wearing a robe, so it was good to have it, but I kept it in the inventory, but I always wore it since I was reincarnated by my true ancestors.

Because Bran hasn't been able to pervert since then.

Even if you try to transform into a cool form of black and silver beetles, armor and armor will cover your entire body as before, but only your face will remain exposed.

The armor and horns that covered the head are divided back, forth, left, and right, assimilated to some of the armor on the shoulders, chest, and back.

It's not that I admire myself, but because Bran is modestly beautiful today, it's good that it has a bad sense of female leadership, but the dark sense of heroism is weak.

If there was not even a jumping horn, the robe was originally woven with plenty of room, so there was not much problem with perverting while wearing it.

The same goes for the giant.

Previously, the appearance of dark heroes at the time of transformation was similar and expanded, but this has also changed since the time of transformation.

The general appearance doesn't change, if you say so, but the problem is the head.

To be more precise, it is a horn.

There were no horns in the head of the giant Dark Hero, where the original horns should be, and instead Blanc's own upper body was growing.

This form looked familiar.

When Lyla was perverting into the giant Lamia in the Tree Forest, it was certain that Lyla's upper body was growing from Lamia's head.

Same as that.

I suppose this is the nature common to so-called Disaster Monsters.

I can't help what I can't do.

My face is always exposed, but if you're worried, you can make a mask or something, or wear a robe hood.

Turning on the giant does not change the upper body, so the robe does not break. I have no problem wearing it all the time.

Depending on the specifications, it can be said that the solo feeling with the rare sisters has increased even more.

I don't mind if I do.

Bran is coming to Zorlen right now on Lyla's request.

As we talked about at the Tea Party at that time, the war situation will shift around abandoned forests such as Krall.

Securing this city is very important to any faction, as the city closest to its ruins will be this Zorlen.

Even so, I do not know if it will really matter to any of the forces, because free forces that ignore at all the thoughts and positions of each country, etc. may also arise from now on.

It is nominally the kingdom of Pairee that is currently holding that zorlene back.

This is natural because it is a Pairé country.

However, the city has only the strength of guards, and all the Knights who were supposed to defend the city are in ruins.

You could say that you gave up the city and the lives of its inhabitants, but in a way, this can't be helped.

Paired, it is a very dangerous decision to distribute combat power to protect both the city and the ruins.

The Kingdom would have chosen the ruins as a result of trying to concentrate and defend one of them.

Therefore, when the Expeditionary Force of Shapes approached Zorlen, they never came out of the ruins.

Once the Shape Army reaches the city, this city, Zorlen, will be destroyed this time.

After all, the dwarves are hungry.

And the reason for that hunger is because I think it's the Pairé beasts.

There is much resentment and imagination on the part of the shaped knights, who have died many times as a result. Bran knows well through his family that starvation is painful.

If they break into Zorlen, the city's beasts will be killed from their grudges.

You can also grab the food stocks in your city. If we're going to take prisoners, we need to think about ourselves as well as our share, but it doesn't matter if we don't leave any prisoners behind.

It seems that there is nothing like wartime international law before that, and it is unclear whether there is a concept of taking a decent prisoner.

This situation, in which a completely different situation unfolds as a result of what I did, excited Bran a little bit.

But unlike that time when I burned down Shape's fields, I'm not playing alone right now.

This is party play in a sense.

As for Magnum, I do not want Zorlen to perish now.

The deaths of Elves and Dwarves at hand are also telling the story.

It was Lyla who arranged the Knights of the Elves.

I feel like I've heard that the Knights are a trick, but I can't help but hold on to the dead soldier who has to win here.

Nevertheless, it's only a matter of time before it breaks through.

Each of the residents' beasts is also armed and working with the Elf Knights to take part in the fight, but not enough to fill the fighting gap.

While NPCs across the continent are reinforcing racial rivalries, this sight is arguably invaluable.

Beyond the boundaries of race and nation, they are united to hold hands and just defend this city called Zorlen.

"Hmm. The king of the pair saw the prince die in Zorlen and declared war everywhere involved, didn't he?

What do you think of this sight? Do you think the Elves who captured Zorlen are forcing the inhabitants to follow them? Or vice versa. "

I am interested, but the royal family cannot leave King's Landing until the situation is over, as long as the Knights are stuck to the ruins of the south in a situation where the Shapes are invading the north and the south separately. Then perhaps King Pairé will never come to Zorlen alive again.

Bran's doubts will never be resolved.

Put your hands on your throat and cough up a few times.

I feel more uncomfortable than I thought when I heard a different voice.

The city has not yet suffered significant damage, but the dwarves are slowly pushing the front.

It was originally a poor number of Zorlen defenses, but the biggest factor of disadvantage was not numbers or morale.

"The army of Shapes is not diminishing. Maybe it's because the dead are coming back soon.

Oh, I see. If starvation is a prerequisite for an expedition, did you march with frequent breaks and overrides of respawn points? Your Majesty is smart after all. "

In order for the Zorlen side to break the situation, we must kill all dwarves within an hour.

On top of that, if the Elf Knights can find and control their lispawn points, the Dwarf Knights will be returned to their previous resting place.

This should slow down the shape's invasion speed once and for all.

If you can't drop one city despite marching so far, the dead soldiers will not be morale.

It was an unusual march speed to come here with frequent breaks, and probably quite impossible.

It may be good while you're invading with cuckoo, but once you fall asleep, your mental fatigue will come all at once.

But to make it possible, the Elf Knights alone are a little, no, quite powerless.

Well then, can I help you? Beyond nations, races, and positions, this Magnum Nowem is also in the defense! Giant Corps. Yeah? What is that? "

There is a new group coming to Zorlen from the shape side. Looks like a second wave.

Some of the dwarf's knights are mixed, but many are not.

Most of them are probably players, in terms of unified equipment and race.

The mercenaries of the players, the players who became literal mercenaries, must have come to the second wave of slow feet.

"Ah, here you are. Good, good. I miss the small number of participants in the event we're hosting."

Because it's been the typhoon's eye for the event, or since the Spiegels left, players have been left alone from Zorlen.

It is sad that there is no player to defend this Zorlen, who is perhaps the most neutral position on the continent, even though some village or something is interested in an independence movement.

Even so, if Zorlen had truly gained independence through neutrality, he would have surrounded all directions by enemies at that moment, and would have perished in no time.

Anyway, even though it is just a coalition of inferior beasts and elves.

If powerful players scratch you as dwarf reinforcements or unihorsemen, your defenses will soon collapse.

Bran decided to deal with the second wave before it approaches the city to avoid damage.

I summoned several Giant Corps in the middle of the second wave, splitting my troops into two and sending them to the city and reinforcements.

The troops we sent toward the city would only put pressure on them from behind the Shape Army.

If you actually engage in combat around the city, you may damage the building, and the huge area of attack is too wide to distinguish between elves and dwarves.

The Dwarves will not be able to remain calm if the Titans who have ravaged the country from behind are approaching, and it will be enough to provide backup.

On the other hand, the second wave does not need to use such a mind.

Everything is enemies, and if there are many players, they won't be weak enough to handle it.

The city was left to half the Giant Corps, and Bran himself headed for the second wave.

Nearby, the Dwarves in the second wave look more pale than the knights in the first wave.

I wonder if it's more spiritual than healthy.

If they had marched with the players, they would have fed them.

Our troops are still more dangerous than the first wave.

Blanc called out from the sky to the knights who were alert to the sudden appearance of the giants.

"─ ─ These people have a lot of variation compared to before. I had a biased image of dwarfs, but they seem to have a lot of friends."

Speaking up makes me feel different from talking to myself, but I can't help it.

Players look up at each other in one voice.

Then a moment later, the dwarves saw the sky.

"─ That guy! That's him! He's playing an example giant!

"─ The (...) man with the red (...) eyes (...) at that time!

Though it feels familiar, players who don't remember well shouted out loudly.

Blanc slowly took off the red hood and exposed his face, that of Weiss.

Before coming here, Bran used his newly acquired skills to 'transform' into Weiss.

Bran's face has hardly been exposed yet, but many players have seen it in his last hideout. I mean, I think there are a lot of players here right now.

As the mastermind of "summoning" Giant Corps, he also wanted to try new skills.

"─ ─ Why are you here!

Essentially, even among the most beautiful players, a beautiful avatar woman shouts.

If the appearance is so noticeable, I remember it.

One of the players who resisted when they burned down the hideouts behind the Pairé mountains. Resistance made her look like a healer, healing the damage other players took.

But it is also true that the repression was delayed because of this. Had it not been for that slow fight, I might not have let Elder escape.

About that, the professor said it was the loss of the Rare sisters or something, but it's obviously Bran's mistake.

If we could get rid of that Elder there, it wouldn't matter now if there was a nobleman who inherited that kind of gossip.

However, it can be said that in the end, it rolled to a good way, and Rare also said that it was better to do it everyday, which means that in the end, it is better to do it everyday for Bran.

I would also like to thank her for bringing it to me.

"Ah, you. The war became more exciting thanks to you for sending that Elder Dwarf to King's Landing. Thank you. Thank you."

"─ Huh! Then again, this war has been set up..."

You're right.

This war was organized by Rare and Lyla.

Therefore, it was impossible to fail.

As expected, the plan was largely carried out correctly.

Originally, Bran had only planned to play with the sand in his area while looking at it sideways, but due to unexpected circumstances, he was able to mix it.

Given that, gratitude is still indispensable.

"I'm sure I appreciate you guys, but I can't let you drop that city right now. That's what I'm being asked to do."

That was the request Bran received from Lyla.

If Zorlen is destroyed by the shape, the cluster of Krall ruins ahead will soon fall into the shape's hands.

Even though the Knights of the Pairé are defending themselves, there is too much difference in combat power between the smaller Knights of the Pairé and the shapes with roughly half of the entire army. The third wave will come eventually, and it won't last that long.

If every citizen is a strong pair without a knight, he may also apply a powerful guerrilla tactic against the Shape army marching within the pair.

That will certainly work, but the Knight Shape Army will not be destroyed.

On the other hand, even though it is strong, the people of Pare, who are ordinary citizens, cannot be revived if they die.

Pairé, whose battlefield is the mainland of his own country, will gradually reduce both people and resources, and the country will be destroyed.

Now that we're still silent, Werth, our neighbor, could start an invasion to get on a winning horse if Pare's forces fade.

It is unknown how the players who say what the Virgin is or who aspire to Root Village Independence move, but I don't see a good future coming for the pair no matter how they move.

If Pairé drops out early, the end of the war will be so quick.

The Portley-kingdom is essentially run by Lyla, and you just have to keep fighting over the floating ruins and shapes.

Lila said something like that.

Bran's job here is to keep the southern side of the Shape under attack and defend Zorlen, the key player on the southern front of the Pairé.

That doesn't mean forever.

There seems to be an additional Knights of Elves coming to the nearby city of Plantan, and that should also be the hand of marching here once the fatigue of the journey has healed.

"─ ─ King Pairé is still behind me... That's what that red-eyed man and that giant came all the way out to protect the city of the Pairé kingdom...."

You still seem to be saying something, but unfortunately the chatter is over.

Delays are what Bran wants, but dwarfs who have seen the vengeance of the country and food are killing them.

"My position has been the opposite of that of the village in the mountains, but the result remains the same.

─ ─ Go. You guys. "

Under Bran's command, the giants attacked the players and dwarves all at once.

"I'll do it! Guys! It's going to be an unplanned fight, but we can't defeat the pair without breaking through here!

Win by minimizing damage to the Dwarf Knights!

The man who seems to be the player's concierge shouted.

Players move accordingly.

In other words, it is a mission to fight while defending the accompanying NPC.

The defensive NPC is not taking care of the Titans with hostility, but they will not die anyway. I don't care how I cook if I try branding it.

Giant Corps also triggers inefficient defensive action by players, primarily targeting dwarves for attacks.

Dwarf's knights aren't that strong. It's a little stronger than the guards in the city that destroyed it before.

If this is the case, leaving it to Giant Corps alone will eventually wipe it out, but that's the form in which the players get in the way.

Players take refuge in Dwarf knights and receive Giant Corps attacks.

Even in a defensive stance, the attacked player lightly blows away from the weight difference, but does not die.

And some of them will heal as long as they live.

It won't be easy to recover if you pull off your arms and stuff, but it's also inefficient for Giant Corps to catch and pull off enemies that are just doll sizes.

You get attacked by another player while you're doing that, and this isn't surprisingly stupid, actually.

Based on the experience gained from previous raids and battles with other large monsters, it seems that Doctrine has been established among players that large monsters are spreading ranged attacks for now.

Depending on where it hits, it can take more damage than higher-ranking standalone attacks, and Bran hasn't looked into it in detail, but he's probably studying the types of range attacks and shooting methods that are more efficient against large ones.

Compared to previous battles, Giant Corps apparently had a faster decline in LP.

"Hmm...."

Given the individual's ability differences, one-on-one will probably not lose.

However, in this situation of many-to-many, Giant Corps' massive attacks are hard to catch players, and obstructive behavior prevents them from fully attacking. Instead, they are gradually pushed to a disadvantage by multiple player range attacks.

"It's strange that if you win one-on-one, you're going to lose if you win more than more...

Oh, I see. No, it looks many-to-many, but is this just a little many-to-one repetition? "

Skilled jamming and so on reduces the chances of the Giant Corps guys attacking even those with low hit rates, and focuses on a few players in that gap to reduce this number.

I wonder if this is teamwork. I feel like I said I wouldn't underestimate Rare either.

You can just call me from somewhere else where the Giant Corps has decreased a little, but it's not good to scrape too much of the domestic Blanc forces in the shape.

The Shape's National Army is now looking at us with a pair of hates, but I don't know when to calm down and try to rid the country of threats.

"─ ─ I can't help it. There are other skills I wanted to try, and I will take care of the shortage of the Corps."

If team-playing is about working with friends, you can't say that Bran is now playing as well as team-playing.

Then we can't lose.

First of all, the beauty who is backing us up.

If they disable their support team, they will be able to significantly reduce their ability to take over the fight.

"─ ─! Above! He's coming!

A beauty who apparently was observing the war with a broad perspective noticed Blanc as soon as possible.

Other players in the vicinity stand alert, but it makes little sense when healers and buffers aren't equipped with armor or shields.

"It's useless ─ ─ I don't really know if it's the first time I shoot." Blood Pile "

With the activation word, a crimson fog appeared to seep out of Bran's entire body, which took the shape of a pile.

Then he flew at an incredible speed and disappeared through the chest of a little beautiful female player who was next to the beautiful.

"Oh, did you take it off? Well, no. Consumption... is not a big deal."

A player with a wind hole in his chest quickly turns into light and disappears.

"No, a blow!? Power is abnormal! And we in the rear guard may not be able to avoid it! Be vigilant!

If it is not easy to avoid, what should I do if I am vigilant?

In fact, power itself is not a big deal.

It's just that the opponent is too weak.

The true value of this skill is a special effect, not power, so the damage dealt seems to be modest.

This skill, Blood Pile, was unlocked when he was reincarnated into a true vampire.

I don't know if it was unlocked because I became a true ancestor or another factor.

The indelible property "Curse of Blood" has also changed to "Blood Blessing", and there is a possibility that this is related.

As I've just seen about the skill behavior. By consuming LP, it creates a pile shaped by the activator's blood, poking it at the target and attacking it.

There is something called taking the MP of the opponent who was hit as an added effect, but apparently it doesn't activate if you let him die instantly.

The absorption rate is not so good. If you use your healing skills with the MP you took and recover your LP, you will probably not be able to recover the LP you paid for at a cost.

However, considering that it is damaging the opponent and stealing the opponent's MP, it can be said to be a large plus in income and expenditure.

Because it has such an effect, it is less powerful than others.

The defeat in a single blow was simply due to a difference in stats.

There are other reasons why power is modest.

"'Blood Pile', 'Blood Pile', 'Blood Pile'...."

Countless piles appear around the bran.

I feel that the gorillas and LP are decreasing, but it's not much compared to when I gave Burgundy blood.

"Go!"

The players were shot at once.

This skill can shoot and shoot fast. There is no cool time.

Rare stories say that the type of skills that use LP for costs tend to have cool-time set to sweet, so I guess this is also true.

If you think about it, the cost of LP is like taking damage every time you use it. In that case, you will think about the activation pace in anticipation of LP automatic recovery, and that is not to say cool time.

The larger the number, the sweeter the aim, and some of the shooters leaked, but still the majority of the guards were able to take care of it.

For the most beautiful player, that player, who was the most vigilant, has also disappeared.

Still a little bit left. "Blood Pile", "Blood Pile"... All right, I think we got rid of all the backs. "

Some players are distracted by the unusual sights behind them or are fighting Giant Corps on the front lines and have died from a direct hit by a giant fist.

All you have to do is respawn from somewhere and kill the returning players one by one, so this battlefield is under control.

The other Knights will be here in a while.

You can stay here until then.

"I mean, I tried using a new skill in parentheses, but this should have been more magical. In any case, I used it after the MP was reduced. But if you die instantly, you can't smoke MP... It doesn't seem to be very effective against people who have low original power or personality, and I wonder when this skill will be used."
