Chapter 271: Day 1: Hundred clones of Wil

Evelon is an Elven kingdom that sits on top of the Evelonian plateau which is atleast 3000 meters above sea level and 2800 meters above the Eldershore region of Llyne or Westwend region of Zuweth.

So, geographically, they have this little bit of advantage in defense, especially against the Angel race players and those with flying beast mounts.

The major update really brought several changes to the game which made a lot of people take time to adjust.

Of all the changes, one of the most complicated issues the players faced is the flight.

While the update said that one receives a debuff of losing 1% HP per second if they fly above 1000 meters, all the kingdoms are located differently.

For example, the kingdoms like Llyne that were attached to the Ocean were situated below 200 meters of altitude from the surface. The coastal areas like East Ocean city were at zero altitudes while regions like Eldershore are at 200 meters.

So, it won't be a problem unless they fly over 800 meters.

But, the problem arises for kingdoms like Evelon that was located at a high altitude.

While crossing the border, if they continued to fly without caring about the altitude of the neighboring kingdoms, they'll face debuff…

So, after the update, the Elf players who have a flying beast mount suffered very much because of this issue. Many of them died and lost level.

But right now, this very disadvantage became an advantage for them. Since they are mostly focusing on defense, all over the border, they are waiting to rain down the spells, bullets, and arrows for the perfect moment.

Meanwhile, at the Eldershore region;

At the border, a few top guilds of Llyne gathered and waited for the signal. Meanwhile, a five-thousand-member army of soldiers led by a General arrived at the scene.

"Your Highness…" He greeted Wil's clone with a slight bow just for formality but didn't wait for the return greetings as he is loyal to Rikilda.

As he is a clone, he felt nothing about it too… So, everything is good.

The soldiers continued towards the frontlines while the other guilds give them the way. 

"Everyone, get ready…" General Gorge that originally belongs to the Llyne, who is right now, stationed with his unit at the border gave an order to the players.

Everyone became alerted and took their positions and waited for the sun to completely rise above the horizon.

As soon as they received the notification, General Gorge gave the signal with twenty soldiers raised their rifles and shot into the air at the same time. "Attack…"

The players started running or flying while the soldiers under the General's lead started marching towards the uphill road that leads straight to the region of Ai Themor where NPC citizens are also defending along with players and the army.

"Guys… There's no need to rush." While everyone is rushing to earn War points just like how people rush in department stores once limited discounts were announced, Aster, on the other hand, advised his fellow guild members. "All of you should stay calm. Until the King is down, the war won't stop anyway. So, we can take it slow…"

*Tap*Tap*

His left shoulder was tapped by SnowDew. "Yes?"

She pointed to the front.

"Hmm?" Aster turned around to see Wil's clone was disappeared from his side and rushed forward with others. 

The new members of Scarlet-A as well as the Elites of Vulture looked at Aster with a blank face as if they are saying, what did you say? Look… Even our guild leader is the same…

Aster became flustered for a second before his eyes widened in shock, "What the…"

Not just Aster, everyone including the soldiers who were behind, halted their footsteps in shock.

All of a sudden, one Wil was replaced by a hundred Wils, blocking the way of several players. Every Wil has a meter-long grey-colored stone pillar.

"What… What is happening?" Supreme Master was also no exception to it. His eyes widened as he stood there like a statue.

Before leaving for Searvale, when the first clone was created at the Mansion, Wil gave him two orders. That is to follow Aster quietly until the battle starts.

Once it started, its mission is to kill every red name, whether it's a player or an NPC. A simple order… That's all…

Following Wil's order, the hundred clone army rushed towards their destination at their maximum speed.

As Wil's speed was a lot higher than the other players, the hundred clone army easily passed the front line.

Everyone's pace also slowed down because of the shock. After all, Wil was indeed a celebrity among the players especially those who belong to the Llyne kingdom.

So, naturally, they discovered Wil's appearance.

"Wow... Lord Time Traveler is indeed awesome…" Even the neutral people can't help but admire Wil's new skill.

As for the haters or enemies, they don't know how to react. One Wil is trouble enough. 100 Wils means… They can already imagine the outcome.

Back to the clones, reaching the end of the road, they entered the Evelon's perimeter and continued to proceed through the valley that lies between a hill and a river.

"Look… some people here…" A scout who was observing from the edge of the hill passed the message to the others.

"Eh?" After passing the message, he looked at them and was surprised to see identical faces. He was only able to inspect four of them but was stunned to see the very name that every player in Evelon considers as a threat.

Abus: Guys… Either the opponents wore some equipment that disguises their identities or I'm just crazy. I see dozens of Time Travelers here…

Evelon camp, Ai Themor;

The Elven King, his Queen, and two princes along with the Supreme Commander were in the Tent.

Meanwhile, 21 Generals, 124 Royal knights, 300 Elites, and thirty thousand soldiers were all waiting in the center.

Around them, thousands of players and volunteered citizens were placed as guards. The leader of the unit was the player representative, Envizor, a level-226 player. He is also the best player in the kingdom.

Right now, his face wasn't that good.

"All of them are Time Travelers? What does that mean?" 

At first, he was confused but after getting the same message as Wil's clones passed the second and third checkpoints, Envizor mumbled, "maybe, they took a potion to confuse the people… if that's the case, then they are fools… After all, we are prepared for all enemies."

Envizor: The fourth checkpoint, get ready for the ambush. 

The ninety-nine clones lead by the first clone reached a long canyon with a dried-up river in the middle that made the roadway. On either side, there are two cliffs. From far away, they can see tents and people.

They continued to proceed without stopping. As for the other players, they were long left behind.

All of a sudden, hundreds of physical and energy arrows along with fireballs rain down on the clones from either side of the cliff tops.

"-1" "-1" "-1" "-1"

Numbers continuously appeared on the clone's heads. The clones stopped for a second but since they haven't seen any person above, they continued their journey.

No matter how much a clone resembles the original, they are a puppet and lack intelligence and also follows the order absolutely which lead them to ignore the attack.

The Archers and Mages went silent.

"What the f**k just happened?"

They don't how they should feel, right now. More than not able to damage the enemy, the way all the hundred members ignored them, hurt them very much…
