“Battle stations! Call all the guild members who haven't logged in yet! Come on!"

Ian's urgent shout started a fire in the guild chat room.

He also seemed to have quite a large number of Desert Warriors.

‘After conquest of the Node, it's not hard to deal with... but we have to fight to protect it...' ’

Wherever Ian's gaze remained, a huge, shining crystal was floating.

And that was the heart of the Node, the Blue Crystal.

You need to carve a guild symbol into the Blue Crystal in order to occupy the Node. Despite using the Holy Grail to reduce the time, you still needed 5 more hours.

Ian looks at the coming Desert Warriors and summons all the Summoners.

“Summon Lai, Harley, Finn! ”

And Seria, who approached from behind, summoned the rice cakes and the Blue Wyvern.

The summoned Lai opens his mouth with a wide flap.

[Master, is this a battle?]

Ian nods and answers Rye's question.

“Yes. You see them coming? ”

As you look at the approaching Desert Warriors, Rye growls low.

[It's been a long time since we've had a good battle.]

He said as if his hair was ridiculous standing next to Rye's words.

[You haven't forgotten what you fought so hard for, have you?]

Rye nods.

[Sure, but I took three hours off. I can't believe you've been resting so long, except for sleeping. My body growls.]

[….]

Lai flies a summoned down comment with Ian for the longest time.

Many were staring at Lai with a mournful expression, while Ian looked very proud.

'I raised Rai one really well.'

After a while, Ian starts giving orders as the most advanced group of Desert Warriors reach the foothills.

“Yoohyun, take those who are connected to the knight-class first and pull them in front of Aggro! ”

“Okay.”

Then my gaze shifted toward my head.

“Tight, you're gonna have to hold the front. ”

[Understood, Master. I'll do that.]

Kung-Kung-

As the bald man moves his ball forward, Seria gives the order to follow him.

Ian then began beating the enormous battlefield with the Lotus Guild symbol on it.

A loud drum that resonates in the air.

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

Soon after, all Lotus Guild users became buffed.

[The War of Valor echoes.]

[All soldiers in the Lotus Guild get +20% Morale.]

[All users in the Lotus guild get +15% Combat stat for 20 min.]

Ian, who activated all the guild buffs, is now busy moving the summoners.

Of course, the priority was to trigger all of the buffs you have.

The bigger the battle, the greater the impact the Buff has on the battle.

“Finn, the King's Roar! ”

As soon as Ian's command falls, the pin quickly rises into the air and cries out loudly toward the sky.

Queahhh-!

[Summoned ‘Finn’ 's unique ability, 'King Roar’ is triggered.]

[Agility of all allies within a 50M radius is increased by 30% for 10 min.]

[Movement of all enemy units within a 50M radius is slowed by 30% for 10 minutes.]

The battle has truly begun from the beginning of Finn's roar.

Ian begins to lead the battlefield, continuing his observations rather than diverting himself into battle.

‘We have to minimize the damage. It's not the end just to stop them... ’

Desert warriors with relatively simple combat patterns, but the combat patterns were flowing very smoothly as the level itself was more than 20 times higher than that of the Lotus Guild.

Chang-chaen!

Desert warriors waving their shiny white moon around on horseback!

Whoo-hoo!

The sound alone shows the threat of its destruction, making the Lotus guild members as nervous as possible against the enemies.

“Fioran! I need backup on the starboard side!" ”

“Old!”

“Kawyn, you keep that place safe... Cloban! Keep them away from those crystals! ”

“Okay!”

Whether it was thanks to the overlapping buffs and Ian's disorderly conduct, the Lotus Guild was able to stop the Desert Warriors well.

And during this struggle, Ian's summoners were taking action.

Specifically, new recruits (?) The ability of the hairy hair was surprising.

[Summoner's 'Sticky’ ability, Guardian of the Desert Skill is activated.]

[Summoner 'Sticky’ creates a shield that absorbs 30% of Max Health damage for 20 seconds.]

Otherwise, if you include a buff, you'll see that it has a tremendous defensive power of nearly 5,000. Passive skill means that your shield doesn't diminish your health nearly so much….

[Summoner Sticky deals fatal damage to Desert Warrior.]

[Reduce Desert Warrior's Health by 9870.]

Even so, it wasn't weak.

What a great dealer and tanker!

Ian looks satisfied and watches the action figure.

‘It must be because the level is high and the grade is high... but it definitely survives better than the bread crumbs. ’

Moreover, Rydo was flying in the middle of the battlefield thanks to the ‘blessing of the noble dragon’ ability to take the damage of the target instead.

[Summoned Hairy uses Eli's unique ability, Earring Blessing.]]

[Brainy takes the damage of Lai for 2 minutes.] (‘Sticky’ is 150% of the original damage and automatically unlocks skills when HP falls below 10%.)]

Ian yells at Lai.

“Rya, go inside and swing some more! ”

[Understood, Master.]

Despite Ian's elixir, early in the battle, the damage was inevitable.

It was because not long after arriving in the Central Continent, users were left and right with less adaptation.

However, as the battle progressed, the members of the Lotus Guild began to find peace, and the number of Desert Warriors began to decline.

Then, before Ian's ears, I heard a strange voice.

“Goddess's blessing! ”

[Guild Member ‘Harin’ uses the 'Goddess's Blessing’ skill.]

[All immunity increased by 20%.]

Ian turns his head to the voice.

And there was Harin.

Ian looked a little embarrassed.

“Huh...? Harin, are you here, too? ”

Harin's level was too low to reach the Central Continent.

That's why Harin told me to stay in Lotus' territory, so of course I only knew it was there.

Seeing Ian surprised, Harin puffed up his sheep's cheeks.

“Hey, if you don't follow me when all the guild members move, is there any way I can get here? Then at least for a few weeks, you're gonna have to play the game by yourself. ”

Ian scratches his back head and mutters.

“It's still dangerous.... ”

Price for Ian's back with Harin's staff (?).

“Forget it. I'll take care of it. Just focus on the battle. Look, Kawin's in danger now. ”

In Harin's words, Ian moves in a reflexive fashion, giving direction to Harley and Rye, and Kawyn, who had almost lost his life to the ground, is able to save his.

Now he sees Ian climbing on Harley's back and going into the battlefield in a frenzy, and Harin shakes his head.

“Phew, I wish you could invest half of the energy in real games for me. ”

Seeing Harin muttering, Fioran casts her magic next to her, smiling bloody.

“Isn't that a little greedy, Harren? ”

Harin raises a pair of sympathies in her words.

“No, not half, half greedy? Are you doing this to Fioran?! ”

Seeing Harin making a tear, Fioran leaks out.

“I think almost 100 percent of Ian's life is a game... That quarter is 25 percent. That's enough greed.”

Pretty convincing (?) of Fioran's logic.

Harin was speechless for a moment.

“Th-that's it...? ”

Tiny Noise (?), but after an hour-long battle, the Lotus Guild succeeded in stopping the Desert Warriors without much damage.

I lost a lot of soldiers, but only about thirty guild members died, and this level of damage was much better than the first thought.

At the end of the battle, Ian's eyes grew slightly wider as he watched the voracious air currents being sucked out of the corpse.

‘Huh...? I haven't seen a bright air flow like this since the Territory War...? ’

Ian hurriedly opened his inventory and had a look at Karseus Al's information for a long time.

[Carseus egg - hatching rate: 57%]

And my eyes twisted.

“ …?! ”

It was because the hatching rate, which was less than 40%, rose nearly 20% a few days ago.

"What are the criteria? What kind of battle would it take to fill the hatch rate quickly? ’

Looking at the resplendent egg of the new dragon, Ian felt his heart throbbing.

‘When this thing wakes up... it'll be worth it to face the top rankers. ’

After a short wait for the new dragon, Ian put the egg back into his inventory and began repairing the intestines.

Ian had also entered the Central Continent and since it was a huge battle, the loot dropped was also substantial.

Ian mutters to himself, checking on the status of the Blue Crystal.

‘I'm not going to waste time, by the way. Still more than 4 hours left... ’

I hope the Node remains intact until the completion of the Node, and Ian begins to heal the Summoners.

* * *

Massive battles have finally begun in the middle of the continent, across the battlefield where it has been quiet for some time.

It was because all the successors of the Imperial forces of both empires had gathered on the Central Continent, and all the dizzying top guilds had entered.

Thanks to this, the main page of the year-round community was populated with articles about the combat outcomes of the Central Continent.

[A Dark Lunagil that emits the energy of destruction at the forefront of the Magic Swordsman 'Han’.]

[Magellan's Token, Controversial Balance Collapse Item.]

[Ruspel Imperial Defense Vessel, read first until collapse.]

Jinsung, who was sitting in front of the computer eating cereal and studying the community, muttered.

“Hmmm... The Imperium's defense line can't collapse..." ”

After stopping the Desert Warriors from attacking on a massive scale, Lotus' Guild succeeded in conquering the Node.

However, the first consensus of conquering the Node was the Holy Grail of the Holdream.

Had it not been for the Holy Grail, we would have been attacked by the Kaimon Empire before we succeeded in conquering the Node.

Jinsung mutters again as she continues to read the article.

“Should I leave Node Mercury to Yoohyun and go out to the front and help the defender...? ”

As mentioned in the main community article, the forces of the Kaimon Empire were dominating.

And in the background, there was an item called the Magellan Token that Irahan had.

Desert warriors who were neutral NPCs turned their backs on the Kaimon Empire because of Magellan's signs, and as they played guerrilla tactics throughout the battlefield, the Ruspel Empire began battling.

Desert warriors tend to fall considerably compared to the forces of the Ruspel Empire, but the weight was further inclined because the forces of the Ruspel and Kaimon empires were so heavy.

‘That's when the Node Master didn't collapse... If the defense line collapses and gets isolated in the middle of the enemy, there won't be any answers. ’

After finishing his cereal, Ian hurriedly entered the capsule and sat down.

I had no intention of being helplessly taken from the difficult Node.
