Episode 254 The
highlight, X!
However, the majestic appearance that faced all the gods was nowhere to be seen.
An acrobatic act of swinging a wooden sword while standing on one leg on a high, shaky castle wall!
X barely opened his mouth.
“The generals are always on standby?”
“Yes, I like it or I don’t like it, but we are bound to clash at some point.”
Asus relayed the results of the meeting to X.
Even if you think about the tricks and camouflage techniques that can be used, it is impossible to avoid being discovered until you reach the capital city.
It may be just one or two people, but the number of troops gathered here numbered in the thousands.
The biggest enemy of training is other thoughts. X was caught up in idle thoughts for a moment.
‘Well, if you’re going to get hit anyway, wouldn’t it be better to get hit beforehand?’
After the first crash, it will be a race against time.
It will be a test of whether the allies can reach the capital city and face the fake emperor quickly, or whether they can quickly support the Fire Empire soldiers coming from all directions.
X opened his mouth.
“How is the condition of the soldiers?”
“Additional strong young men have joined us. Danwoo said that the equipment in the castle was pretty good. “If I arm myself properly... wouldn’t I be able to kill at least a level 80 monster?”
“Hmm, you’re saying it’s level 80?”
Even a single hit from a creature’s tentacle would cause instant death, let alone another being’s destruction ray.
However, it was impossible to stop those who risked their lives in battle.
After the report, it’s time for personal maintenance again. Swish! X shook his head while swinging his wooden sword.
“In the end, there is only one answer.”
There is no choice but to lead the way and open the way!
A siege is a battle in which the defender has a much greater advantage.
Reaching the capital means having to win several consecutive siege battles.
It was not expected that the hastily constructed soldiers would survive the extended battle.
We must achieve successive victories in an impossible siege.
X judged calmly.
‘Those who are actually helpful...’
First of all, Seo Ji-ha was a person who absolutely had to accompany him. Because she had a perfect understanding of the route to the capital city.
The core forces of Sioras and Ligrien, who are worth more than 100 per day, cannot be left out. Additionally, there was a possibility of using Asus and Katarin.
Suddenly, X shook his head.
‘However, if you lead all of them and open the path ahead, you will not be able to guarantee the safety of the allies who will follow you.’
If even a single level 1000 contaminated creature appears, the later generation will be completely annihilated.
What is the best tactic?
Swish! X thought while swinging his wooden sword out of habit.
The worries continued until daybreak.
Tiroling!
I woke up to the sudden sound of an alarm.
[Saturation level is less than 10%.]
“As expected, you need to use your head rather than your body to get full.”
There was no correct answer, but X thought positively.
“They may be weaker than we think, and we may be stronger than we think.”
In fact, the enemy’s strength was not fully understood. The same goes for not being able to grasp this side’s strength.
X, who was chewing homemade beef jerky, remembered what Sioras had said.
‘Did you say that there are descendants of the Gourmet King in the Eastern Continent?’
Since it was a matter of defeating other beings, of course they promised to cooperate.
Even though it was a far away place, it seemed like they would have enough money to arrive there by the time the basic training of the soldiers was over, as they had had a lot of fun in the past.
“I would feel relieved if only three people, just like Master, would come.”
But the Great Sage is not the Great Sage for nothing. It was better not to have false expectations.
For these reasons, X and his party planned to stay at Cumulus Castle for about a week.
X opened the skill window and checked the skill cooldown.
‘There are about 20 hours left on the wings of the phoenix.’
Once the Phoenix Wings became available, it seemed like I would have to at least scout out the enemy camp.
Normally, Sioras’ paper crane would have taken that role, but as I said, magic is neglected and prohibited in the Eastern Continent.
“Anyway, you shoot the paper crane with a bow and knock it down. “It’s a land without innocence or romance.”
The wings of the phoenix can be spread again!
As planned, X moved to check the enemy’s strength.
The destination was the west gate of the capital, which was guarded by the general. I had heard and knew about the general’s abilities.
‘You can move mountains?’
At first, I thought it was too much of an exaggeration, as expected from the East Continent. But I changed my mind when I saw Seo Ji-ha’s serious expression.
What if the general really had the ability to move mountains with ease?
‘There is no chance of it being an ordinary person.’
The possibility that he was a worshiper or a demon lord could not be overlooked. Therefore, X planned to gently scratch his nerves.
To reveal the identity of the general.
After briefly saying hello, X jumped down the castle wall and ran into Asus. Asus, covered in dust, asked.
“What, did you say you were going on a scouting trip?”
“Oh, I’m coming back.”
“Your physical strength is amazing, really? I am forced to log out from now on. If anything happens, leave a whisper with Dallas. “If it’s urgent, I’ll connect as soon as possible.”
We have something in common.
Asus and Dallas were also in contact in real life.
Since I was able to use other messengers even while connected to Fate, I was able to contact people in real life.
X shrugged his shoulders.
“If you have nothing else to do, just watch my streaming.”
“streaming? Yes, you can just turn it on and sleep.”
“If you have time, give me some gold as a gift.”
“what? You even take food money from me....”
Papak!
As soon as the unfavorable story came out, X ran away. Asus let out a chuckle.
Even though we had this kind of relationship, it seemed like X had changed quite a bit compared to when we first met when we were rough.
Maybe it was because I was shooting from mountain to mountain, but I was tired.
“Ha-am, I really should turn on streaming and go to sleep.”

Dark room.
Asus was twitching while buried in the soft bed.
Tiring tiring!
My body was reacting reflexively to the constantly ringing notifications.
“Ugh, let’s take a break now...”
Who is bothering me?
Asus was begging in his sleep, as if he was having a nightmare.
Tiring tiring!
Then, suddenly, I opened my eyes to the sound of a notification.
After assessing the situation, Asus suddenly stood up.
“...Since when did this notification go off?!”
Messenger notification!
In addition, this sound was a designated ringtone that only rings when Dallas sends a message.
Seeing it ringing so urgently meant that something had happened. Moreover, X went out to scout the west gate yesterday.
Asus urgently headed to the capsule.
“Why are you crazy?”
Lack of amino acid gel.
Asus skillfully filled the slot with gel.
As soon as the capsule started operating, the sound of a fan was heard.
I wanted to lie down in the capsule right away, but I had to check the message that arrived first.
Asus’ eyebrows twitched as he picked up the tablet.
“You want me to turn on X streaming right now?”
The monitor that was set to sleep is turned off. As soon as I turned on the monitor, Asus stuttered.
“Eh. What on earth are you doing? “You said it was reconnaissance?”
Couuuuuung.
The castle wall collapsed tragically in the aftermath of Kaengpan!
On the screen, X spread his wings of flame and was slyly trembling.
-Now, the general will reveal his true face like the others, right? I will also refrain from saying anything and prepare properly for battle!
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
