Taming Master
Unexpected Trap (1)
The position of Palacazio Castle was actually perfect enough to be called "Heavenly Fortress."
The southernmost point of entry from the outside was a jagged cliff, and the other three directions of entry were also meant to reach beyond the rugged peak.
Because of this, Ian was also very embarrassed when he first examined the geography of Falkazio territory.
I couldn't figure out how to get through this fence.
Climbing the cliff sounds impossible, but if we turn around and attack from another route, too many troops will be lost along the way.
This is because the path to turning up was entirely within the range of the enemy's defensive tower.
Moreover, since the defensive towers at Palaccio Castle consisted of the highest tier of luxury towers, the firepower must also be great.
Palacaccio Castle boasts the hard-core siege difficulty of a fortress with definitely the final boss of the episode.
However, Ian and the expedition leader, who were thinking about it, received information that was good enough to open their eyes.
Just before the full moon, there were rankers who raided the Dungeon of 'Basement' in Falkazio Castle.
Most of them were even part of this expedition, so they found a route they could not even think of infiltrating the castle.
It's a secret passageway into the castle through the dungeon.
If we used the passageway well, we should be able to enter with minimal damage to the resistance.
As soon as the information was obtained, the strategy for the final siege proceeded to the four heavens.
“This is the work of a real god. ”
“I see. The men who attacked the underground dungeon were on the expedition.... I'm so glad."
“What would you have done without this route? ”
“Phew, just thinking about it is horrible. Perhaps, just like in the early days of the last episode, we were continuing to consume our troops and we failed to observe them in outer space. ”
“I agree. Even if I did break through the outer perimeter, I wouldn't be able to resist because I don't have the rest of my troops." ”
“ ……. ”
In the siege to date, more than half of the operations came out of Ian's head.
Of course, there were times when other guild bookkeepers like Emily had a better strategy, but it was mostly a strategy completed by coordinating Ian's ideas.
But this time it was different.
Because the strategy was too good to be seen, the siege route was determined as soon as the brains gathered.
Ian can't help but protest.
In fact, back then, I had no intention of raising a protest.
‘Since it was the most efficient siege strategy, there was no place to lay down……. ’
But after the meeting, Ian continued to feel uneasy.
It was probably a ‘feeling,' which is why Ian did not talk to other users of the head office about it.
Taking tackling a given strategy without a solid reason did not match Ian's personality.
You can't say you're nervous because things are going so well, right? ’
Ian felt uneasy because it was simple.
It felt like someone's intention to come up with the right solution for the situation that "seemed to have waited too long."
Moreover, the anxiety was amplified by the notion that the last fortress of the episode, which was made with the best difficulty, could not have been designed to be so easily destroyed.
It was ironic, however, to reverse the best strategy because of unreasonable anxiety.
“Hmmm…. ”
Ian, who led Lotus' elite troops into the dungeon, bit his lip slightly.
The closer I got to the entrance to the black dungeon, the more complicated my head got.
Fioran, who was following Ian, asked Ian with a curious look on her face.
“Ian, what's wrong? Any problem……. ”
Ian scratches his back head with a nice look on his face.
“Oh, no. There is no problem... ”
However, the moment I was about to enter the entrance of the brain stem, I stopped to see if Ian had come up with anything.
“ ……? ”
Then Lotus' forces, who were following Ian, stopped as well, and Shakran and Titan's elite troops passed by them.
“Brother, what's wrong all of a sudden...? ”
Hun asked Ian with his eyes wide open, but Ian turned his gaze back instead of answering him.
I then gestured toward the departed ‘Seria’ who was in the rear of the unit.
“Hey, Seria, can you come over here for a second? ”
Surprised by Ian's unexpected call, Seria jumps forward to take an example.
“Yes, Your Majesty. ”
* * *
“Hehe, what did I say? I told you, a week is never too short. ”
In a spooky room where only two nasty oil fields are illuminating the intestine.
There were about seven users who looked like they were sitting there looking at something.
And one of them, a man in a red cloak, opened his mouth with a heavy voice.
“Is it really Ian……. Well, you have to admit, ”
Then one of the archers next to me frowned and said.
“One of his lucky ones is really good. In fact, I was able to get to Falcazio so quickly because of the odd Siege Summoning he was lucky to get. ”
The other user, who was right next to him, nodded and agreed.
“I agree with you. I don't disregard his skills, but I think some things are exaggerated because of his fabulously good luck. ”
However, the man in the black mask, who opened his mouth for the first time, shook his head and pulled out his tongue.
“It's been a while since you've been cut off from the human world, but you two have lost your senses, haven't you? ”
Then the archer insisted.
“What? Lost my senses. If I had lost my senses, I would have put our Hoking Guild in the top ranking. ”
“Well, that's part of it, I admit, but aren't the eyes that you see different from that? ”
“Hmmm……. ”
“Ian is clearly brilliant. to the extent that it's not lacking in comparison to anyone here. ”
After the man's words were finished, there was an unpleasantness in the faces of the characters in the intestine.
But there was no one to argue against it.
His words continue again.
“Anyway, I think it's about time. ”
This time, the man in the red cloak slowly stood up and opened his mouth.
“This time, it's time to repay the debt. ”
At that, the man smiles and nods slowly.
“Yes, 'Rahan’. You owe Ian the most, don't you think? ”
Rrrrgh!
A man in a red cloak leaks from Irahan's mouth.
It was the sound of his‘ han ’in harmony.
“Yes. I have so much debt that I can't figure out how to repay it. ”
Flash-!
As Irahan makes his move, the red cloak on his back flutters.
Then the characters in the intestine rose up in turn behind him.
And they started walking fast, somewhere.

- Ah, Ian and Shakran! I've broken through more than half of them in two hours since I entered the dungeon!
- Mr. Hines, was the expedition halfway through the dungeon?
The massive Rich Knight that Ian and Shakran just defeated in the joint was the mid-boss of this dungeon.
- Aha, I see!
- Don't be alarmed. Now, I heard that the first team to attempt an attack was only a short day away.
- Eek, is that so?
- Haha, isn't that great? Of course, the first party to hit this dungeon was only 15, and the expedition is now more than a hundred, and I can't even imagine breaking through a midboss in two hours.
- Wow, you really rank 1st and 2nd in the elite guild!
Now, if you defeat three more Names, you'll find a secret passageway to the Resistance instead of the way to the Boss John!
- Oh, is that the information you got from the expedition?
-Exactly, I even got this information from Emilie, a well-known leader of the Titan Guild, and Kawyn, an early member of Lotus.
- Then it must be true!
And by opening up so much information to the broadcast, you mean you have tremendous confidence in Clea?
- It's Lotus, Titan! I'm just thankful to watch.
A big screen that illuminates a dark living room.
On TV, the voices of two casters poured out restlessly, and only that voice resounded with Karanka in silence.
“Hehe, confidence in clearing……. ”
Sitting on the couch, watching the broadcast with an interesting face, Nazi Chan lost his breath listening to Hines' comments.
He seemed to be the key organizer of all this content, because Lotus and Titan were crossing the 'irreversible river’ now.
“Did Emily and Carwin get you an ad for YTBC? You've given Hines a lot of pretty detailed information. ”
Najchan tucks his chin with one hand and lies down deep on the couch.
It was very difficult to lift the eyelids because of the blood accumulated from overnight work, but it seemed too unfair to sleep like this.
It was because soon, there would be a very ‘funny’ scene.
‘Stupidly spreading information publicly on YTBC……. You don't think it's stupid not knowing that episodes are linked to the magic system? ’
Najchan enjoyed watching the broadcast while imagining things like this in his head.
Every element of the dungeon came out of his head, so every scene where rankers attack the dungeon was very interesting to him.
Because of this, stretching elasticity flowed from Najchan's mouth while watching the broadcast.
“Ha, how did you know to deal with the booby traps coming out of the blind? A real shark.... One reaction rate is enormous.How could someone in their 30s do that? ”
“Khh, Ian, how long has he been applying his unique abilities like that? One understanding of the game is enormous. ”
At Ian's play, Najjichan's mouth began to squirm as he jumped into the room and brought his laptop out of the living room.
I wasn't going to turn the computer on because I was usually tired, but hearing Hines' inadequate commentary was frustrating.
It was frustrating because of the "mission" of explaining Ian Gad's play to ignorant users.
Nazi Chan, who turned on his laptop, quickly logged in with his nickname "Ian Husband" to access the online broadcast.
‘Ian, I hope you can go over my expectations again. ’
His hands are more busy pounding on the keyboard.
It was because the 'Big Event’ was about to begin in a moment.
