Taming Master

“So... Enp? ”

Ian nods quickly.

“Well, you know what? This is NPC, the summoner I appointed as my successor this time. ”

Ian makes excuses (?) as I looked at Harin's eyes.

And she opens her mouth again with a fat expression.

“Then why should she be young and pretty and cute? ”

Ian doesn't know why, but he feels a cold sweat flowing through him.

I've never felt strange in Harin's tone before (?) I felt the atmosphere.

“That's it... I liked that NPC stat the best...? ”

Ian's voice crawling in by itself!

Hearing that voice, Harin felt a little weakened.

Harin began to hypnotize himself, swallowing jealousy.

‘Yeah, you think a kid who knew the usual game and didn't care about girls picked out a pretty NPC on purpose? I'd just have to look at her abilities and pick her out. ’

When I thought about it, I was a little embarrassed.

‘Jealous of NPCs in the game, not people…. ’

Harin smiled as he thought he would be a narrow girlfriend who was really jealous of NPCs in the game.

“Th-that kind of thing? ”

Ian's expression brightens slightly as he feels Harin's voice faint.

“Yes, it is! ”

“Okay, then I'll take care of it this time! ”

Seeing Harin speaking very thoughtfully, Ian smiled broadly.

Of course, you don't know what you've done wrong or what you're willing to pay for.

* * *

Ian, who had barely soothed Harin, was headed for the Dimensional Tower.

A dimensional wizard gripper in a dimensional tower must be an NPC of enormously high grade, and I was wondering if I could equip him.

‘I don't think I can do this... but I can't do this without getting beat up. ’

And Ian arrives at the tower and is welcomed by the gripper.

“Oh, Ian. It's been a long time. I've heard about you. ”

At Gripper's words, Ian asked with a curious expression.

“Yes? What news? ”

“The good news is, you've become a baron. ”

Ian was embarrassed.

“Well, where did you hear that? ”

Gripper frowns and replies.

“I have an acquaintance in the Ruspel imperial court. ”

“Ah... I see. ”

Ian felt something strange.

"What, how did Gripper get acquainted with the imperial court? Do you...? '

Ian hurriedly checks the gripper's information.

---------------------------------------

And I took a false wind without my knowledge.

‘What, because of your level??? Is it marked? ’

I've seen this before.

"Helheim... is it similar to that monster? ’

Besides, he was an Earl.

A nobleman of higher rank than Ian.

There was no way we could leave the baron in the lurch.

Ian slips the Lord's Seal back inside.

“Haha, you were also a nobleman of the Ruspel Empire, weren't you? ”

At Ian's words, the gripper nods with a big smile.

“Yes. It was a long time ago, but Emperor of the Priory granted me the title of Earl. It was often my fate that helped the Imperial Wizards of the Ruspel Empire. ”

“As expected... Gripper was a great man. ”

The gripper felt better about Ian's father and he laughed, and after some more conversation with him, he was forced to return to the territory after not being able to talk about the heirlooms.

Ian decided to give up a little greed.

‘Later... I'll have to try again once I'm promoted to the baron or duchess. Your intimacy with the Gripper will be the best, so if you're good at it, you'll be able to get it with confidence. ’

Helheim-level, powerful shaman!

I felt overwhelmed just thinking about it.

‘I need to build my reputation more quickly. ’

On second thought, Ian checked the conditions for his next position.

The baron's next title was "The Baron."

---------------------------------------

User Noble Rank

Current Grade: Baron

Next Grade: Birding

Reputation Spent on Ascendance: 800,000

Permission: You can register 25 NPCs by hand.

---------------------------------------

“Huff…. ”

Ian tasted it again.

Ian's reputation is a little over 900,000 now.

I could have been promoted to a bird title right away, but there were only about five more NPCs I could register for on my own.

As reputation deteriorated, NPCs in the area became less loyal, discounts on reputational items, and so on, there was no reason to promote them now.

‘The Earl is after the Earl… The Earl is after the Duke, and we're not there yet. ’

Ian sighs after checking his empty list of dead bodies.

‘Yes, even if it's a little less eye-catching, four or five more of the NPCs in the area look good. ’

I saw that there were still enough limit for the number of people who went, and that the limit increased as I moved up the rank.

Ian's footsteps led him to a talent center.

* * *

Conference rooms in the territory, Lotus Territory.

It's been a long time since I've had anyone who could be a guild leader gathered in the conference room.

Lotus' guild now has a considerable number of members, totaling about 150 guild members.

More than 100 of them consisted of users of more than 100 levels, so it was quite powerful.

Fioran, who is still guarding the highest level in the guild, has reached 118 levels, and several others, including Hers, have followed closely to 115 levels.

Ian has already leveled up at an ignorant rate of 114 levels.

“As soon as the protection is lifted, I see a request for a Territory War. ”

In Fioran's words, Hers nods.

“Well, I can't help it. Obviously, our guild is occupying a good territory compared to rank... There are a lot of coveted guilds. ”

Cloban opens his mouth next to him.

“Well, that's what I expected... Our guild hasn't been at a guild war lately, so you've gotten stronger, right? Besides, you don't have to worry too much about the Water Temple. The opponent is a Polaris Guild that doesn't rank very differently from us. ”

“Clovan's right. In fact, about 70 percent of all the territorial wars that have ever happened have ended with the Defence Faction winning. ”

The Polaris guild was the one who waged a fierce territorial war against the Node Protection of the Lotus Guild.

The meeting was to strategize the Territory War.

“Does anyone know anything about the Polaris Guild? ”

Kawyn answers Hers' question.

“Well, an acquaintance I used to know was in the Polaris Guild for a while... The guild members change quite often, unlike us. ”

“Really?"

“Yeah. With Gilma and Bugilma out there, the chief changed a lot. Nearly 200 guild members there, but only about ten initial members. ”

Fioran, who was listening next to you, asks.

“How does that help us understand your power? ”

This time, Ian, who was listening silently, replied.

“The constant change in membership means that your party play skills are extremely low. ”

“Aha. That's right. ”

Kawin agreed and continued to explain.

“Ian is right. Also, Gilma and a few others are powerful and the rest of the guild members are useless. Many guild members have donated gold to carry a huge guild's light on their backs. ”

Hers' expression brightens slightly.

“Then it's easier to win than I thought. ”

Ian shakes his head and says,

“No, that doesn't mean you can't look. After all, the guild is ranked in the Diamond class. If the other guild members are misfits, the strength of the main members will be better than the average strength of the Diamond Class Guild. ”

Ian was working hard on a strategy in his head.

It seemed better to strategize against a guild with this characteristic power than a guild with fine power.

Ian continued.

“Up until recently, most defensive guilds were used as cards to abandon their battles on the battlefield of bravery and focused all their strength on ensuring a victory on the battlefield of protection, right? ”

At that point, most of the people in the meeting room nodded their heads.

It was because they were always watching thick territorial wars.

Hers takes Ian's word.

“I did. It's a formal strategy, and it's definitely low-risk. Defensive factions only need to win three races, including the Water Temple, but there's no need to drain the battlefield of bravery. ”

As Hers said, in some territories, the defensive guild sometimes passed the first three matches to the withdrawal level.

In the open, on the battlefield of protection.

Fioran said.

“Wouldn't it be right for us to use this strategy in the end? ”

“Yes. Wouldn't it be wise to concentrate power on a favorable aquatic battle? ”

It was mostly a harmonious atmosphere, but Ian thought differently.

After thinking for a moment, Ian smiles and opens his mouth.

“Why don't you try this backwards? ”

* * *

“Are you... really doing this? ”

Looking at Ian enlisting in the territory, Hers asked in a worried voice.

“Yes, I've explained it all the time. Trust me."

Ian smiles, but Herce doesn't worry.

It was because it was impossible to change the number of combatants until the next battle.

“No, your strategy is clear and everything is good…. ”

“But?”

“It's still too much for the user to play only you in the first two matches. ”

“We're sending in a full NPC unit. It's okay."

“Well, there aren't that many of them... They're all in their 60s... ”

However, Ian did not hesitate to deploy the power.

The discussion between the guild members was already over.

Hers sighs when he sees it.

“I don't know. Let's hope it goes your way. ”

“Don't worry. I'll get you two. ”

Ian's prediction was this:

If you think about it as an attack guild, there is a good chance that the Defense Side Guild will throw away the Brave Battlefield as a discard card, so you will try to pick up the discarded cards with minimal troops.

He probably saved as many men as he could until the Siege War and tried to take victory with all his might in one game.

Then we have to use it backwards.

Ian, who is currently the most powerful member of the Lotus Guild, was going to lead all the NPCs to compete in the 1,2 matches.

The plan is to hit the counter by destroying the opponent guild's advance troops who came in to take victory as a medium-sized troop.

This operation was more effective than bringing two matches if it succeeded.

After taking the 1,2 matches backwards, the opponent's attack guild would have to deploy a lot of troops from three matches.

‘Since then, we give three matches to the opponent instead. ’

Then the opponent's guild can only consume troops in vain without damaging Lotus' guild.

As an attack guild, you won't be able to dispatch a medium-sized troop while you know the target's strategy, since you only have to defeat it one more time.

After that, if you deploy all your troops to the first siege, you will be able to defend your opponent's guild against the few remaining troops lightly.

Other guild members listened to Ian's strategy and put their tongues to the precision, but it seemed that they were still worried.

I couldn't ignore the risk of failure.

“Come on, Ian. If Ian does what he says, we'll make a fortune. ”

“Yep. Trust me, Fioran. ”

After a while, a few system messages came to Ian's mind.

[Ian has been designated as a contender for the first match of the "Lotus" and "Polaris" guilds.]

[We will be on our way to the Battlefield in exactly 20 minutes, so please be ready before then.]

Ian's tail dries up.

‘It's been so long... I'm so excited! ’

At the same time, it was a battle so large that it was even more important than the Arena.

And Ian's greatest burden rests on his shoulders.

After checking the status of the summoners, Ian checked the status of his last 'deceased’.

Ian's equivalent number was five.

---------------------------------------

- Seria...

Level: 110/Occupation: Summoner/Grade: Hero

- Malaise -

Level: 107/Occupation: Warrior/Grade: Rare

- Tenpus.

Level: 114/Occupation: Priest/Grade: General

- Serious.

Level: 109/Job: Wizard/Grade: Unique

- Lorten...

Level: 110/Occupation: Warrior/Grade: Rare

---------------------------------------

Luckily, I was able to acquire one more class of talent named Cerius, but the other castaways' abilities were so-so.

However, everyone's level was quite high, so it should have been a big help.

‘Now I have to control not only the summoners, but the widows and the soldiers, so the difficulty is really high. ’

But I wasn't nervous.

Ian was confident.

After a thorough inspection of the machines, the system message reappears.

[You are now on the battlefield of bravery in one minute.]

After a while, Ian's appearance disappeared from everyone's worrying young gaze.

The first territorial war of the Lotus Guild has begun.
