Episode 359:
Akarusted was filled with a strange energy.
“Save people!”
NPCs caught in the tentacles screamed. The War Machine guild members were struggling until the end.
[Fatal blow!]
[A stun effect occurs on contaminated creatures!]
“Ugh, why is my health so high again?”
Pling, riding on the puppeteer’s giant stuffed toy, witnessed an army of creatures flocking beyond the collapsed castle wall.
There are so many polluted creatures that the ground cannot be seen.
“...I don’t think it will work.”
Quantity beyond imagination.
Did they still have troops like that? All I could say so far was that I was watching.
Clink!
A scorching ice spear.
The Resourcer was gritting his teeth and struggling.
There have been many unwinnable fights in the past. Even if I were defeated and died, I couldn’t let go of my staff until the end.
‘I couldn’t notice it one bit.’
A creature that disguised itself as a human and infiltrated the castle gate.
If it weren’t for the tentacle pieces left in place of the footprints, we wouldn’t have noticed until the end.
She and other members of the War Machine Guild were dumbfounded.
“How are we supposed to stop them if they attack like this?”
“There are degrees of harm. these guys!”
A vicious strategy.
Moreover, it caught me completely off guard.
Who would have thought that monsters would disguise themselves as humans and sneak into town?
If this is the case, other large cities will not be safe either.
[Fatal blow!]
“Damn, I go first.”
“I’ll follow you, so wait.”
One by one, the guild members began to turn gray.
Everyone could sense it.
Today Akarusted falls. War Machine executives, including Fling, let out a long sigh.
“Wow, a new start isn’t easy.”
“Iknow, right. Even if it breaks down, you have to show an impact... but no one is recording it, right? “It would be a shame to broadcast something like this.”
“You took what you needed from the hideout, right?”
“Yes, I took care of the important things.”
The Resourcer was quietly listening to their conversation.
She laughed bitterly.
‘I barely recovered it.’
This is a war machine that has been called obsolete among players.
Starting with Kaimus, the group withdrawal of executives such as Dazel.
This is because the name that was once the strongest guild has fallen into decline to the point where it is worthless.
However, after moving the hideout to Akarusted, War Machine was also recognized for its power.
It means that the reputation of the past is being restored little by little.
“Wow, it’s all gone to waste.”
Fling spit out what the Resorcerer wanted to say instead.
Polluted creatures flocking from all directions.
It seemed like the guild members, who were dismayed by the tremendous defense, had no intention of fighting properly.
However, the resourcer’s thoughts were a little different.
Ice Spear!
She gritted her teeth as she disposed of the running creature.
‘...What can I do?’
The Resorcerer, who was pondering, took out a crystal sphere. Pling asked as if he was curious about the appearance of the crystal sphere.
“Are you going to record this? “It doesn’t matter because you’re always pretty, but we’re not kidding right now.”
“You have to do what you can.”
“...something you can do?”
The Resorcerer decided that everyone should be informed of what happened in Akarusted.
So that other players can prepare for the attack routes of other beings, which have become much more precise and vicious.
The Resorcerer laughed slightly.
‘I don’t know about other places, but I don’t want to see Xernis collapse.’
The Resourcer immediately manipulated the crystal sphere.
[Start recording.]
[Automatic recording mode ON.]
‘But that was a mistake.’
Thanks to this, Xernis achieved tremendous progress.
X was confident in an all-out war.
In addition to Xernis’ outstanding technological prowess, there was the Xernis Army, a group of races with diverse abilities.
As we flew a little further, we saw Xernis soldiers stationed in a mountain village.
“Haha, it’s a shame the plan went awry.”
“The phrase ‘after a meal’ should be followed depending on the situation.”
“It was a short trip, but I’m glad you came back safely.”
X said hello to Sioras and looked around the barracks. Soldiers who recognized X flocked in.
“It is the lord!”
“where? “Awesome, it’s really great, right?”
“Wow, looking at it up close, it’s no joke.”
Players who have become citizens of Xernis!
The number of players participating in the expedition seemed to be quite large, as they easily exceeded several million.
After taking a look around the barracks, X checked the status window. Information about the Xernis Expeditionary Force came to mind, neatly organized.
[Xernis Expeditionary Force]
Current troops: 44,183
morale: 82%
Characteristics: Infantry specialization / strong in close combat / weak at long range / tired / motivated / excellent senses / great leader
‘Morale is decent.’
What X focused on was the characteristics.
The Xernis Expeditionary Force, despite its excellent close combat capabilities, has no strengths at long range.
It was natural since there were no archers or siege weapons.
‘Well, there’s nothing to worry about.’
If it had been a normal siege, it might have been a problem.
However, the opponent is a polluted creature. They weren’t good at long-distance attacks either.
Moreover, there were many talented people in the expeditionary force.
“I don’t think there’s a lineup more spectacular than this.”
Descendants of fellow Gourmet Kings who united in spirit, led by Great Sage Sioras! Liglian and Enna Ramaseo Calon.
In addition to the familiar faces, there were also unfamiliar faces. They were also descendants of Gourmet King colleagues who had a connection to Sioras.
“I heard a lot of stories. “It’s an honor to be with you.”
“Let’s talk properly later.”
“I’m always welcome.”
New skills have arrived! After briefly saying hello to them, X began preparations in earnest.
Sioras asked as if he was curious.
“Are you planning to advance right away?”
“There is no benefit to us if we drag it out.”
“That is correct. “I don’t know what kind of trick they might be planning at this moment.”
Liglian got to the point.
“Is your first target Arba?”
“Yes, we are going to restore it starting from Arba, which is relatively nearby.”
Kalon seemed to have new emotions.
“Well, it’s a little different than I thought... but I can’t believe I got into part-time work like this. In any case, the grudge must be properly repaid. “I’ve been dreaming of this day ever since I met you.”
Descendants burning with motivation.
Their fighting spirit will boost the morale of the expeditionary force.
The start of the battle is finally upon us. As soon as dawn breaks, we must advance to Arba.
“Then let’s see...”
So at this moment, what X was going to do was decided.
Two hands moving busily.
“Of course, when there are a lot of people, there is nothing better than this.”
Crack, thump.
Spices soon appeared deep in the inventory!
X started making a heavenly dish using plenty of spices.
The pungent yet fragrant smell spread thickly throughout the barracks. It stabbed the soldiers’ noses.
“The lord made professional food for us...!”
“There is no other honor like this in the world.”
“Is that X’s cooking?”
“...Just thinking about it, don’t you think it was a good idea to get Xernis citizenship?”
[The morale of the expeditionary force increases!]
A state where morale is boosted just by the smell!
At the same time, the night deepened. A cold wind blew, but the heat in the barracks did not go away easily.
“One more bowl of X-Chi!”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
