Taming Master

Ian rolls his head hard to get information about the target.

‘Once I see the items I'm wearing, I can see for sure that I'm an assassin…. ’

An assassin who can comfortably block Ian's tracks.

Ian knows that few assassins with that kind of power are within Kailan.

In fact, that's why I sent the pretenders first.

Because I was confident that none of the new assassins would be Ian's opponent.

I was confident I could handle it myself, but if I dragged the Goblins here for no reason and the target ran away, Ian had no way of catching the escaped assassin.

‘There seems to be only one person in the Ruspel Empire…. The one who beat me in the Lucky League. Was his name Lim Long?’

However, Ian thinks there was no reason for an assassin from the Ruspel Empire to spy on the fortress in the territory with Pie, so he quickly gave up thinking about Lim Long.

‘I heard that if you're an assassin in the Kaimon Empire, you're famous for being part of the Titan Guild... ’

The current official assassin ranking was part of the Titan Guild, and his level was around the beginning of 140, as Ian knew.

‘He deserves to be confident in my presence. ’

Ian's level exceeds 150, but is not known externally.

And no matter how strong Ian's combat skills may be, it may be natural for an assassin with powers in the in-person PvP not to be diminished even if his level is a little lower.

When Ian was exploring the opponent with thoughts and things.

The assassin lunges for Ian with a two-wheeler.

Blame-!

A man who quickly narrows his distance to Ian with a light footstep.

If it had been the same before, he would have cared about clearing the streets first, but Ian had a place of trust.

“Summon…! ”

Once he quickly summoned all the summoners and cast his buff skills, Ian immediately used his new skill, the 'will of the Selamus Warrior’.

[Use the ‘Will of Selamus Warrior’ skill.]

[All Combat stats gain 40% for 20 min.]

[You can focus all your production stats on a single combat stat. Please select a skill.]

Cau-!

Ian stopped the bird running assassin from attacking. He stepped back and finished setting his skill.

“I invest in agility! ”

[Greatly increases‘ Agility ’stat.]

[Skill for all weapons is increased by level 15.]

[The skill level of your Spear associated with your weapon is set to Intermediate 5.]

As the message rises, a golden beam is wrapped around Ian's entire body.

The man laughs at Ian as he looks at Ian, who fixes the pole.

“Are you trying to wage a melee war on the Summoner? ”

Ian nods and laughs.

“If so?”

“You will regret this. ”

After a short answer, he rushes back to Ian, and Ian starts fighting back with his spear.

Boo-hoo-hoo!

A loud hissing sound that resonates with the blade and the Spear.

They exchanged several consensus workshops in an instant.

Phew!

A strong attack interlocks with each other, and a recoil makes the distance between the two of them separated, and the summoners, including Rye, begin to attack the man.

While the large, slow, and aggressive hair couldn't do much damage to the assassin, Rye and Finn's union was extremely sophisticated and intimidating.

Aaaaahhhh!

[Summoner ‘Lai’ deals fatal damage to (unknown).]

Reduces [(unknown) health by 13253.]

[Summoner ‘Pin’ deals damage (unknown).]

Reduces [(unknown) health by 10233.]

Ian's eyes slightly narrowed as he exchanged workshops.

‘What...? You're a user of the Ruspel Empire, aren't you? ’

The emerging system message revealed the nationality of the assassin.

If it is a user with the nationality of the Kaimon Empire, the system message reminds me of ‘User of the Kaimon Empire (unknown)', and without such reference, it was a protest that he is a user of the Ruspel Empire.

"Nationality cannot be handled privately... I'm sure it belongs to the Ruspel Empire, but why would a user of Ruspel try to spy on it?" Are you planning to design a fortress along with our territory...? ’

Ian thought that the most likely hypothesis was that it was a ‘seizure’ that was received by the Kaimon Empire.

Perhaps it was easier for a user of the Ruspel Empire to gain free access to the fortress inside the territory.

Meanwhile, while Ian was thinking about things, the battle was running towards the end.

The assassin's life gauge bar slowly begins to blink.

Ian, on the other hand, had almost no damage.

A wide assassin stands back and mutters.

“... Amazing. I never thought you'd be this strong. I thought there'd be a lot of exaggeration. ”

Ian kicked his tongue and answered.

“Tsk, tsk... If you know, why don't you just surrender?" I want to know where you're from. ”

In fact, it was ridiculous because Ian didn't even try hard enough.

‘I don't think I can handle any of this. ’

You looked good at it, but it was too easy to deal with because you didn't have any special skills or unusual attacks.

The assassin looks at Ian and opens his mouth again.

“I'm afraid that's all for today. ”

Ian laughed.

“Who's just gonna let you go? ”

As soon as Ian's words are finished, the summoners surround him.

But the man was still relaxed.

“Looks like you have some Detecting Potions. ”

The Detecting Potion was an item that allowed Ian to see a hidden opponent for a certain amount of time when he took it.

Ian nods as he pulls the potion out of his inventory.

“Of course. You'd better volunteer to reveal yourself. Apparently, the equipment looks good, too. Wouldn't it be unfair if you died and dropped one? ”

But he laughs at Ian, pulling out a magic scroll and frowning.

“I'm sorry, but you won't be able to catch me today. ”

And the man tore his scroll before Ian could even use his hands.

“Damn it.”

His body vanished into thin air, whilst being wrapped up in a stream of Borat light, and Ian finished his tasting.

“Hehe, these days I use all the home scrolls of dogs and cows. ”

The scrolls used by men were the same kind of scrolls used by Irahan, a guild master in the Darkness or Guild.

Of course, it was much cheaper than Irahan used because it was not a wide return scroll, but it was not a penny or two.

“I feel bad.... It's probably a wash, right?”

Ian mutters, and Lai next to him replies.

[I think so. Something is definitely wrong, Master.]

“What?”

[Your combat skills seem to be exceptional, but they are only used by the most basic common assassin skills.]

Ian nods.

“I felt it, too. You're trying to hide who you are. If you have Hidden Class, the moment you use your main skill, your identity will be blown away. ”

Ian hurriedly steps back inside the area.

‘So there are forces trying to figure out the internal structure of the fortress...? We need to be more vigilant. Should I build more Detecting Towers? ’

* * *

The day Ian hurried back to the territory.

The assault did not begin immediately, as he feared, but the Allied forces of the Kaimon Empire have begun to move.

Of all the Siege wars that have been unfolding in Kailan, it's the best!

When these movements were captured, the official community and broadcasts were already in chaos.

In particular, on the main page of the official community, the articles that have already been analyzed about the nature of the battle or both sides of the power have come up with a stimulating title.

[Last hope of the Ruspel Empire! With Pie, will the territory be able to defend against the 50,000 Kaimons?]

[3 Ruspel guilds that helplessly handed the fortress over to Kaimon with the ‘Eye Castle’ pie of the Ruspel Empire.]

[The largest siege in virtual reality game history! Dig deep into the background.]

Of course, anyone who plays Kailan had to pay attention to this massive siege, and issues such as bulletins and chat windows were popping up about the massive siege that was about to take place.

And the hottest of these issues was the incompetence of the Royal Giant Guilds.

- No, gentlemen. I'm a Kaimon nationality, but I don't care... Honestly, what do the Loospell Giant Guilds do? All the contents of the Eastern Continent are in the forefront, and the Central Continent is open to fighting, so I'm just praying.

- Phew, I know. I mean... I can't pay for food.

- That's really weird, by the way. Lotus' guild is holding its ranks so low, why are all the bigger pigs hiding behind it? I don't get it.

- Sir, we need to know if Lotus is holding out after this siege.

- No, once you've stopped a dark crew, that should hold. Even if you stopped one guild or two like Lotus, at least you wouldn't have been pushed this far from the central region.

- Phew, I wish I could help the Lotus Guild somehow to stop it...

- Now it's too late. Pie's territory will be taken away anyway, and it seems to matter how well it's guarded from the rear.

- I want Lotus to hold off for as long as possible. Ian, let's go!

Meanwhile, the Lotus guild members inside the Pyro territory were very busy.

It was because I needed to raise my defense a little before the water temple began.

Hers approaches Kawyn from the barracks and asks.

“Hey, Kawin. Troops that are training in the barracks, will they be done by today? ”

“Hmm... I think I'm going to be a little busy. Maybe I don't want to be done until sunrise tomorrow...? ”

Hers' expression is slightly frowned.

“Hmm... I can't... ”

“Why?”

“The Kaimon army is almost ready to move on. I thought the siege might start tonight... ”

At the time when the two people were talking, Ian suddenly stepped in.

“No, I don't think you need to worry about that. ”

“Yes? Why? ”

Ian said, checking the time once.

“Given the current situation, no matter how fast their aggressive timing is, at 10 or 11 o'clock, when the siege starts, how will the workers come to work tomorrow? We're gonna need at least five hours. ”

“Ah…? ”

Ian's logic is quite convincing, and he wrinkles his head.

“We are on vacation, but workers don't have vacation.... ”

Of course, more than half of the top rankers were professionals in the game, but the percentage of people who were not in the game as a whole was more likely.

Hers opens his mouth.

“Still, I'm glad the battle didn't start today. I always wanted to use an Ironclad when I lost. ”

The troops Hers asked Kawyn about.

It was an Iron Armored Soldier that could be produced in the barracks after three upgrades.

The Iron Armored Forces reached a basic level of 170, and a single dizzying user was a powerful force to do it.

Ian asks for Kawyn.

“Kawin, how many centuries is the total force produced this time? ”

“Well, maybe 500 centuries. ”

Ian's gaze turned to Hers this time.

“So, combined with the rest of the old troops, we have about 3,000 now? ”

Hers shakes his head.

“No, according to my calculations, I'd say 7,000. ”

“Hmm…? How the hell did you get that number? ”

Ian frowned at the unexpected answer.

And Fioran gave me an answer.

“We've got some pretty solid reinforcements. ”

“ …? ”

Including Ian, who had a curious look on his face, the three eyes moved towards the direction where Fioran's voice was heard.

And there were a few more people standing besides Fioran.

Ian's gaze was fixed on a man who stood at the very front of them.

‘Who...? I think I've seen him somewhere.... ’

A man wrapped around his whole body is a luxurious armor that glistens with military blue.

He steps forward and reaches out to Ian.

“Nice to meet you, Ian. ”

A man who seems to be the best ranker in the world.

Ian shakes hands and asks him.

“Who... are you? ”

Soon as he opens his mouth and tries to answer, Carwin behind his back opens his mouth first.

“Roichen...? Roichen, right?! ”

The man smiles and nods slowly.

“With Master Hers' permission, our Belient Guild has decided to assist in this Water Temple. ”

Roichen looks down slightly.

And seeing him like that, Ian's eyes lit up.

"Veliant...!" If we do well, we can really make it to the end of this Water Temple! ’

Ian looks down at Roichen as he feels like he has won a thousand horses.

“Thank you so much for making the hard decision, Roichen. ”
