Taming Master

Kailan's greatest battle of all time.

No, this was not only the Silk Kailan, but also the largest war in all of virtual reality gaming history.

Over 30,000 soldiers from both empires!

The number of knights was close to a thousand, and thousands of users participated in the war.

And it was spectacularly spectacular to see such a huge group of people.

“Cut down every last one of the Kaimon Empire! ”

“No retreat! Raise the value of the Roosevelt Warriors! ”

“Wow...! ”

Users who participated in the battle felt extreme excitement in a large-scale battle that was so fully implemented.

“You look like you're in a real war, right? ”

“I mean, it's harder than field hunting, but there's another tension. ”

On this battlefield, the user's position was somewhere between the soldiers and the knights.

The soldiers' level was between 110 and 130 and the knights' level was between 150 and 180.

Of course, there were lower level users than soldiers, but they were quickly removed and turned into a handful of ashes.

Kuaang -!

[You have suffered catastrophic damage due to the Kaimon Empire Knights' assault.]

[HP reduced by 36478.]

[You ran out of life, so you died. Leave the battlefield.]

Especially in the case of wizards or archers with low defensive strength, they were forced to play out even if they were beaten by a high-level knight.

However, even with the same attack, the strength of the opponent's defense was decidedly different.

[The Summoner Hairy has been damaged by the unique abilities of the Kaimon Imperial Knights, Soul Piercing.]

[Summoned Infinity +5768 Health.]

The imperative of a bald head with a defense power of 4,000!

Ian looks satisfied to see that it is not a basic attack, and that only 5,000 damage can come from a skill attack.

‘I must have a life-renewal option for a tight charm. It's not working out. ’

It was clear that the efficiency would be tremendous if an amulet with advanced regeneration options could be given to those with overwhelming defense and health.

Passive skill also creates a protective shield once every minute, so if you have a good regenerative option, you might be able to recover all the HP you lost while the shield was maintained.

‘After the battle, I'll just have to work on the amulet for a few hours. ’

Whenever I had a chance to craft an amulet, Ian now produces more than hero grade amulets.

I put on one of the amulets I had made for Tighter, but it wasn't satisfactory.

Ian, who is riding on the broad shell of his head, gives the order.

“Hail, the dragon's blessing to Lai! ”

[Understood, Master.]

And a golden stream of air gushed from his entire body was shot into Rye, and the air was yellow.

[Summoned Hairy uses Eli's unique ability, Earring Blessing.]]

[Brainy takes the damage of Lai for 2 minutes.] (‘Sticky’ is 150% of the original damage and automatically unlocks skills when HP falls below 10%.)]

Ian turns and orders Seria to confirm that the skill has been activated.

“Seria, I need you to bite back a little and concentrate on your summoner recovery skills! ”

“Long ago, my lord! ”

No matter how much furious Rye was, his health would quickly drop if he took damage for him, so he had to concentrate his healing skills on the furry as long as his aural skill was active.

And Rye dives into the battlefield and starts slaughtering his enemies, even though Ian didn't ask him to.

[The Summoner Rai has dealt fatal damage to the Kaimon Empire soldiers.]

[HP of Kaimon Empire Soldiers reduced by 27638.]

[Successfully defeated the Kaimon Empire Soldier!]

[EXP +198079.]

[Gain 3000 Reputation.]

[Ruspel Empire Contribution Points +500.]

Whenever Lai defeats the soldiers, Ian clears out the system messages that are being pushed upward, turning his head again and turning around.

‘Catching a lot is important, but somehow leading the battle to victory is the most important...! ’

Ian paid more attention to the flow of the entire battlefield as Ian's greatest goal was to maintain the front lines.

And from afar, a familiar back of Ian's eyes appeared.

‘Oh, why is she there again...! Listen to me...! ’

The protagonist behind him is Caesar.

Caesar has always been with Ian on the battlefield, but he never listens to Ian's orders because it was in his best interest.

When Ian tells you to move east, you deliberately move west.

Rather, the general Imperial knights who were close to Ian seemed to be more attentive to Ian than Kazakh, the pseudonym Caesar.

‘Oh, I don't know. But since all the XP prestige is coming in... I have to be satisfied with that... ’

Caesar seems to rebalance a little bit on the falling western front, but he's having a good time fighting the knights on the central front.

‘I'd rather move in accordance with Caesar's movements. ’

Ian summons Finn, who sprinkles grinding skills on the soldiers.

“Pina, come here! ”

Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

Finn came at Ian's command like a gunshot.

Ian strokes Pin's head once, then climbs up Pin's back with skillful body movements.

“Serena, I'll leave this to you. Hold on while you heal the bald and the fucked-up! Harley will help.”

“Yes, my lord! Leave it to me!”

Ian also gives a simple order to Pauline, who is struggling hard in the front.

“Pauline! Protecting this front is the most important thing, so don't go too far into the front. Keep the line open.“ ”

Pauline nods forcefully.

“Yes, my lord! Yes, sir!”

Ian leaves the battlefield to his reliable widows, riding his pin and shooting up into the sky.

Queahhh-!

Pin roaring in a loud voice like the Lord of the Air!

Ian looks down at the battlefield and begins to spray his sphere of magic and current proliferation hard.

‘There is no skill more effective than current growth in broad-spectrum combat. Besides, it's better this way...! ’

As such, Ian effectively began to command the entire battlefield.

It was not a direct command to npc or users, but it was an indirect seizure of the battlefield, spreading debuff or status abnormal attack skills on the spot.

And the first thing that threatened Ian was the users of the Kaimon Empire.

“What is that? Did any of the Ruspel Imperial Combat NPCs ride Griffin? ”

“What, I've never seen you before? There really is a Griffin Rider. ”

Users who were not familiar with Ian thought that Ian's presence in the air on a griffin prevented the metallurgical battle, but there were also users who knew Ian.

“That user! Ian! I've seen the footage of Griffin riding around and rooting for electricity! ”

“Really? If that thing hits purple, it hurts like hell. Everyone, move! ”

Phew!

The impact of a single user's combat strength on this huge battlefield was, in fact, marginal, but Ian was exerting a profound influence on the whole combat, no matter who saw him.

Ian harnesses powerful allies appropriately and cleverly isolates intimidating enemies making it difficult to exert proper force.

As the battle progresses, the battlefield gradually begins to tilt toward the Ruspel Empire.

Even users from Ruspel who had survived and fought hard began to talk excitedly about it.

“Hey, are we finally going to win? ”

“So...! I really think I'm gonna win today. ”

“I heard you've only been defeated three days since the war started... How did you win today? ”

“Don't you see Griffin Rider over there? I think he's really something. I've lived twice because of him. ”

“Him! That's Ian, ranked No. 1 summoner. I told you I saw the battle footage the other day. How cool is that? If I'm alive until the end of the battle, I'm going to get an autograph. ”

“Oh, really? Is that the Ian you were telling me about? ”

Ian was flying around on his pins, sometimes climbing over Harley on the battlefield, and the users looked at him with envy.

“Hey, Ian, I think the summoner is a real fraud class, why do the summoner billboard punks always whine? ”

A user replied, shaking his head, a knight who seemed to be his friend.

“Do you think that's easy to play now? Summoners have their own AI, so they can leave it to fight a little bit, but if they don't give the order over and over again, that's out of control. Ian, that guy is amazing. I've been watching you, and I haven't seen a single mischievous summoner. Besides, the summoners seem to have a minimum hero rating.... ”

After spending all his strength and energy on the battlefield, Ian was able to win a perfect victory in the end.

Although it was fortunate that the Desert Warriors who had contributed so much to the victory of the Kaimon Empire had not appeared, Ian's actions did not deteriorate.

“Hooray! I didn't think I'd make it to the end of the battle!" ”

“Awesome! I'm alive too! Kuhahaha!”

“Hey, you're not even level 120. How are you still alive? ”

“Hehehe, Ian was stalking me. Ian saved my life three times! Ian Godt!”

After the war, the survivors of the Ruspel Empire were only at the level of 900, which was only 30% of the first 3,000 to participate in the battle, but it was also enormous.

Even in winning factions, users have never survived more than 10% before.

Today's battle was truly a victory.

‘How many could I push into battle today...? ’

Ian opened the map, checking the distance between the newly formed frontline and the node, and sighed for relief.

If I lost today, the Node would be really dangerous.

‘Okay, just a couple more days, and we can put our Node at risk. ’

Ian was very proud to see that his abilities could make a bigger impact in large battles than he thought.

‘EXP is off the charts... I have a few days to run from the front line to the mercenaries. ’

But Ian's plan, which seemed only to be going smoothly, was immediately broken the next day.

* * *

Ian: What? The Node was attacked?

HG: I'm telling you. Desert warriors attacked without you. It was smaller than last time, but it's not bad without you.

Ian: No, how could you do that? How did the Desert Warriors get in here when the battle was over three kilometers from the front lines?

FM: Looks like they moved the Desert Warriors directly from the Darkness Guild. Or any special ability in Magellan's markings...

Ian: Special abilities? Which…?

Fioran: For example, summoning Desert Warriors to some point within a certain distance...?

Ian: Oh... This is crazy. So I'm going back to the Node tomorrow?

HG: I think that's a good idea. It's a big difference without you....

Ian enters the chat room to boast of winning the battle, then hears an unthinkable story, his face stiffens.

“Ah... Is there any way to see the details of Magellan's markings or what they are? This is crazy.”

The Central Continent Node in the Lotus Guild was advancing rapidly by raising buildings.

the resources and goods needed to build those buildings, as well as the supplies from the war trade stations.

The guild members exchanged all the specialty points obtained by subjugating the monsters around the Node for resources.

‘If the attack continues... I'll have to build a Defense Tower first, not a production building...' I need to invest more in labor... ’

Cancelling a building that was being built was a waste, so we had to supply more resources somewhere.

Ian's head starts to get very complicated after switching off the chat window and heading to the node.

‘This means that we have to attract resources from the northern continent... ’

Ian, who had briefly cleared his mind, began sending someone a personal message.

Ian: Professor, it's Jinsung. Are we done with what you asked for last time?
