Taming Master

There are countless types of defensive towers in Kailan.

It was inevitable that the type of defensive towers you could build would vary depending on which direction the castle was developed.

Moreover, the types of buildings that could be built vary depending on what resources were around the castle, so it was natural for there to be more types of towers.

However, this did not lead to the development of a defensive tower with medium-grade heating without any rules.

There were three criteria for classifying towers in Kailan:

The first criterion is classified by ‘attack type’.

Depending on whether the Tower's attack attribute is a physical attribute or a magical attribute, it is divided into categories.

In a way, this was considered to be the largest category classification in all categories.

The second criterion is classified by ‘Role’.

If there are towers that specialize in wide area attacks, there are towers that can do powerful damage to a single target, and there are towers that can do enormous damage to the ground instead of being airborne, there are towers that specialize in airborne abilities.

And there were special towers with the ability to detect and support.

Finally, the third criterion was classified according to the tower's performance.

This was conveniently marked as a 'tier’, the higher the number in front of the tier, the more advanced the tower.

Palacio Castle is the last ‘notice’ of the Rich King episode.

Palaccio Castle was home to the most ‘magical’ attribute towers.

And among the magical attributes, there are many towers with the 'dark’ type.

Ian was going to make good use of these features.

‘The hallmark of magical property towers is that they require an energy core. ’

Magic type towers are generally more powerful and have a wide range of attacks than physical type towers.

Instead, there is a disadvantage that the accuracy is lower compared to towers with physical properties, and it does not work without the ‘Energy Core’.

Energy Core is a facility that, in short, provides magical power to magical property towers.

If this facility is within range of energizing it, the tower will operate.

The energy core also had a 'tier’, and it is also natural that the higher the tier of the core, the better the performance of the magical towers.

Because of this, where magical property towers are the main defensive facility, Palcazio Castle, this energy core must be very important.

So where are these vital energy cores?

It's obvious, but it's as safe as it can be.

Installing the core in the area at the rear of the tower without going beyond the scope of energizing the towers.

And where Lotus and Titan's elite troops are now...

“As expected, it can't be this way. ”

It was the ‘rear’ area.

“There are no real ghosts. ”

Looking at the numerous energy cores in sight, Hers sticks his tongue out.

It was because Ian was very curious to find where the energy core was hidden in a fortress with complex structures.

Fioran, who was standing next to you, nods in awe.

“How did you find this? Maybe Ian designed this place? ”

Ian smiles and answers, not Fioran's question.

“Have I fought a siege once or twice? That's enough gum. ”

And the same is true of Titans who followed Lotus' forces late.

“Hehe, the real Foreign Defense Line will collapse as soon as I hit it here! ”

“A. Destroy all the cores here, and they'll be connected to the other cores in no time." At this size of a fortress, wouldn't you have a contingency plan? ”

“Oh, really? Well, that makes sense, doesn't it? ”

“Phew, I don't think anyone knows it's Siege Warfare. ”

Ian, who heard some of the user's conversations, nodded his head.

‘That user is right. Destroy this whole place, and it'll be connected to the spare energy core in no time. ’

Moreover, as soon as these cores are destroyed, the Rich King is more likely to learn that intruders are inside.

If the servants noticed that the magical tower had been cut off, they would report immediately.

So Ian started rolling his head to make the most of the situation.

‘There's only one way. Keep the mercenaries at bay. We need to push them off at once. Before the spare energy cores work……. We can hit them from both sides and tear down their defenses. ’

The big framework of the strategy itself was simple, but the detailed strategies needed to succeed were extremely complex.

It was because the sum of the troops stationed outside the main gate and Ian's elite troops had to match perfectly.

One day, Shakran approaches Ian's side and opens his mouth in a low voice.

“Kid, why are you stopping? Can't we just smash them all? ”

According to Shakran, Ian shakes his head and replies.

“Wait a minute. It's not something you just think about. ”

“Cocky kid.... ”

Shakran, who heard Ian's pincup, shakes his head with a crooked grin, but not a grumpy look.

It was because he and Ian were able to move forward and see his abilities again.

Previously, Ian had been rated high enough, but it was only limited to 'physical’ as a gamer.

I had no idea Ian was such a great person.

Just watching Lotus walk, he thought he had a good bookkeeper like Emily.

Shakran opens his mouth again.

“Kid, how do we move? ”

After a while, Ian took a step forward.

“In a minute or so. If I give the word, we can attack them all together. ”

Bloop-oop.

The huge pulley slowly rolls, and the heavy chain that was wrapped around it loosens.

Pinch Gigg-!

Along with the uneasy friction of the metal chunking and resounding, the opening of Palacazio Castle began slowly.

Inside the door, Lim Long, who was riding on a graceful black horse, was getting ready to run.

“Are you sure you're okay, Lim Long? Enemies are quite numerous. ”

A dark sorcerer at the back of Lim Long opened his mouth with a worried expression.

He's a 470-level powerful name NPC, handed directly to Lim Long by Rich King Sharian.

But despite his worrying stories, Lim Long was very confident.

“Don't worry, Descale. They're just a mess. ”

Kugu, Kuku, Kugu!

A bright light leaked in between the two of them, through the opening of the gate.

And it caught my attention that there were human users in the distance.

Lim Long smiled and opened his mouth again.

“Look over there. They're not even getting within range of our defensive towers. ”

“That's true……. ”

“If it seems like you're exerting your strength, you can draw your forces within the range of the towers. ”

Lim Long's words were unreasonable, and the dark wizard Decale also gripped his head.

“Well, Lim Long has a point. ”

“That's right. If we're going to stand around like this, we'd better get out there and wipe them out and support the East Gate's water supply." ”

“Very well. After all, our king has delegated authority to Lim Long, so we shall follow him. ”

Kung-kung-kun!

When the huge gate, which appears to be about 20 to 30 meters wide, opens completely, the shout of the undead army that was waiting inside of it echoes loudly.

“Khhh! Let's get rid of those arrogant humans! ”

“Don't you dare let the humans who have stepped foot in Sharian's domain live! ”

“To our king! ”

And looking back slightly, Lim Long slashed a satisfactory smile.

Because this powerful undead force behind him will be a great bus driver for you from now on.

"Khh, if we wipe out those Humans in front of us, won't we level up to level two?" ’

You can't take all the loot, but you can say it's the only one with enough experience.

Moreover, the opponent is an expedition made up of top-level users in the human world.

Lim Long thinks this is the place to hang out if he's cleverly using the defensive towers' range.

Shhh!

Lim Long draws his sword from his waist and lifts it high into the sky.

A red blade that is short compared to a normal longsword, but has a fairly elongated blade to say "dagger."

Enhancement ratings were at least three times more transcendent, and the red energy in the sword was tingling.

“All forces, charge! Kill all those arrogant humans! ”

“Waaaah!”

Thousands of dark legions rushing to the battlefield with a piercing aura.

On the contrary, however, the human users' camp seems to be very quiet.

Even though I would have seen with my own eyes that the gates were open and an army of darkness was pouring out.

And it made Lim Long feel even better.

"Hehe, as expected. Well, what can those idiots do now? ’

Blame-!

Lim Long, who was riding a black horse, suddenly jumped up into the air on the horse's back.

Then his new statue seeped into the darkness.

In fact, horse fights were not suitable for assassins.

What he was about to do was to infiltrate the darkness and assassinate as many human users as he could.

“Waaaah!”

“Charge!”

Over time, the distance between the Dark Army and the expedition grows closer.

At first, the distance between the two factions, which were over 100 meters, was rapidly reduced to 50 meters and 30 meters.

The situation is now so close that the face of the opponent is visible.

But even then, the human users were not even tuned.

If a stranger had seen it, he would have thought the faction between the Water and Siege forces had changed.

‘We won't be able to get inside the defensive tower range, so they won't have to.' ’

So, are the human users unable to move because of the range of defensive towers, as Lim Long predicted?

In fact, if Lim Long had remained calm a little longer, he might have felt something strange.

Even though the range of defensive towers restricted their movements, a large number of enemies jumped out of the blue because they were unable to see any movement.

It was normal to move the smallest troops backwards and pull the wire out backwards.

If this were to happen, half the battle would be within range of the Defense Tower.

No matter how stupid the commander of the human race was, there was not much chance of making that alliance.

However, Lim Long was too confident in the paintings in his head.

Moreover, we firmly believe that the most powerful forces among human users have been wiped out.

Making perfect judgments in these situations was no matter how difficult Lim Long was.

“Hehe, shall we play? ”

A small mumbling new statue of Lim Long grows long and shoots toward the front.

One of the top tier skills of the assassin class, Shadow Blink, was triggered.

But that was the moment.

T-t-t-t-t-t-t!

From a group of quietly unassuming Humanitarian users, a huge war cry begins to spread.
