Bloop, bloop, bloop!

Ta-da!

Boom, boom, boom!

A fortress in the heavenly forest that resonates with all sorts of tool sounds.

Ian and Hun, who showed up with a pile of magic stones, were very welcoming to Tiber.

“Oh, Ian, is the Refining finished already? ”

“Of course. In an exhibition like this, we have to be thorough. ”

“Khh, I knew it! I see why the commander likes you. ”

Ian and Hun, who greeted Tiber with a pleasant greeting, immediately began to follow him up the fort.

A majestic skyscraper situated right next to Tiber's barracks.

As I climbed the spiral staircase, the scale of the vast fortress began to become increasingly noticeable.

And when they climbed to the top of the stairs, Ian and Hun felt their hearts pierced.

It was because the view of the fortress was overwhelming with open vision.

Tiber opens his mouth with a proud voice.

“Now, what do you think? A fortress with a long history of defending our heavenly army camp from the beginning. ”

Ian, Hun, and Tiber stand on the highest tower in the center of the keep.

Ian and Hun were able to see the structure of the fortress at a glance just by looking around.

“Wow, this place is huge, bro. ”

In his brief admiration, Ian nodded and agreed.

“I see. Even our pie is bigger than the fortress. ”

Ian began to look around every corner of the fort with the eye of the falcon.

At one time, he was a professor of renowned architecture at the University of Korea, and he designed fortresses in the territory.

I was paying more attention to the construction and the construction rather than simply admiring the scale of the fortress.

And after a while.

Towards Ian, Tiber spoke again.

Whether Ian and Hun were pleased to see his admiration, his voice was reminded even more.

“Why did I bring you here? ”

In Tiber's question, Ian tilted his head and replied.

“I don't know. To figure out the structure of the fortress? ”

In Ian's answer, Tiber nodded.

“You're only half hit. ”

“ ……? ”

“It's important to know the structure of the fortress, but the biggest reason I brought you here is……. ”

Momentous T-shirt.

And as his words continued, a new system window appeared in front of Ian and Hun.

“To determine the 'place of work' that you will be working from today. ”

- Tyring!

-To proceed with the quest, select one of the Stronghold zones.

- Quests will be carried out in the selected area and cannot be changed until all matching quests have been completed (can be retried after quest failure).

-Select carefully because the contribution limits and difficulties you can get depending on your zone are significantly different.

-If no zones are selected within the time limit, they will be automatically selected as random zones (remaining time limit: 240 seconds).

Ian's eyes were slightly enlarged when he saw the message.

‘Choose a zone……? ’

It was because the way the quest was deployed was exciting from the start.

Ian and Hun look at the fort more closely, moving their gaze around the watchtower.

Towards them, Tiber's words resumed.

“Our Celestial Guard strongholds are divided into a total of a hundred zones. One tip for choosing a zone is to get a job closer to the Resistance. ”

“Why is that? ”

“The closer you get to the outer perimeter, the more monsters attack. ”

In Tiber's explanation, Hun grimaces his head.

“Aha, if you're being attacked while building a fort, it won't be easy to work. ”

“Exactly. ”

While listening to Tiber's explanation, Ian worked hard to analyze the fortress.

And just like that, maybe two minutes later?

“I've decided.”

As Ian's mouth fell, Tiber and Hun's gaze turned to Ian at the same time.

And the next moment, Ian's words continued.

“Sector A-11. That's my favorite. ”

As soon as Ian's words were finished, the static flowed momentarily.

But interestingly, the look on Ian's face was very contradictory.

His expression was hard to understand, and Hun's expression was that he knew it would be so.

“No, you……. Do you understand my explanation? ”

“Explain what? ”

“I told you that the closer the fortress is to the Resistance, the easier it will be to work……. ”

“Ah, of course I understand. ”

“Then why did you choose the area that was the most frequently fought in outer space? ”

Ian's chosen area was the only frontally protruding location among the crooked outer walls.

Maybe it's natural for Tiber to be confused.

Ian smiled and replied, looking at the shivering look on his face.

“I want to contribute more to this fortress than anyone else. ”

“ ……! ”

“If I do my best in the most difficult place, the gods will pay for my work. ”

“Oh, indeed……! ”

Was he impressed by Ian's words, or was he an elongated tiger?

Meanwhile, seeing Ian continuing the conversation like liquidated oil, he was admiring the other meaning.

‘Khh, I'm just saying that I want to contribute a lot. I knew it, Ian Class...! ’

Before Tiber's explanation.

The two of them had already confirmed one thing through a system message.

The harder the difficulty, the more Contribution Points you can get.

And as always, Ian's style of gameplay is to take high risks and draw out the biggest rewards.

Ian's choice was too easy to predict.

“Yes, Ian. Now that you've taken the hard way, come back with a good mission. ”

“Of course, Tiber. ”

With a satisfied look on Ian's face, Tiber nods and reaches out his hand.

Then a blue portal was created in front of it.

“Now, if you go to this portal, it will go directly to your chosen area. ”

“That's convenient. ”

“Well, good luck with that. ”

Ian nods and makes his way to the portal without hesitation.

Then, Hun, who was behind Ian, urgently opened his mouth.

“Now, hold on! ”

“What's the matter, Kanzihun? ”

“Don't I have a choice? ”

“Hmm…? ”

“I might want to go somewhere else! ”

Hun's game tendency is also not significantly different from Ian's.

Because of this, I also wanted to try Hun on a difficult difficulty to get the maximum reward.

But apart from that, I didn't want to go to the same place as Ian.

I'm going to go to the other side and get my own car! I think I'll finish the errands when I'm around him! ’

However, Hun's refusal was suppressed without eating seeds.

“Aren't you Ian and Seth? ”

“ ……? ”

“Don't be silly. Follow me. ”

* * *

Weeing-!

Ian and Huni, who eventually entered the portal as a set, moved to the A-11 sector of Ian's choice.

And as soon as I got there, a new system message appeared in front of the two of them.

- Tyring!

- You have entered Stronghold A-11.

- Fix any gaps in the sluggish fortress and develop stronger defenses.

- The stronger the Stronghold, the more Contribution Points you can gain.

- * Destroying the 'Magical Tower of A-11' will result in a mission failure.

- * If you die during fortification buildup, your mission will fail.

- * Whenever you kill an incoming monster, you can gain Contribution Points that are proportional to the grade of the monster (only monsters killed using the Fortress's defenses count towards the Contribution Points).

-00 hours 04: 59 seconds until monster attack begins.

After checking all the messages, Ian and Hun started to move in Busan to figure out the exact mechanism of the quest.

There was a time limit of 5 minutes, so it was important to quickly figure out how to start repairing the fort.

“Maybe this is the most important magical tower in this dimension, right? ”

“I think so, brother. ”

And Cailan's well-rounded Ian and Huni soon realized the directionality of the quest.

‘It's like a defence game where you have to build and develop a fortress and stop monsters from spreading. ’

Ian's mouth twitched.

It was because the more I looked at the geography of the keep, the better I felt I picked a good location.

Sectors A-11 selected by Ian and Huni.

This place appeared to be a very dangerous place because it was suddenly on the front line, but it was a really optimal place to play these defence games because walls were formed in the highest areas in the vicinity.

Hun and Ian find the best locations to build defensive towers, once the terrain clears.

We've also checked the types of defensive towers you can build by consuming resources you have.

* Failure to construct a tower when it is damaged by more than 20% of its total durability (50% of resources spent on unsuccessful building)

"Ugh, I only have five minutes. What's so complicated about this? ’

Ian, who had an overview of the content, first looked at available resources.

‘I think there are about 100 magical stones in dimension.... If this melts, each of them will have 10 dimensions of magical power and 20 dimensional iron ore. ’

If you use dimensional Magic Stone refined by Ian and Hun, you can get 10 dimensional Magic Power and 20 dimensional Iron Ore per person.

In this situation, ‘Dimensional Magical Power’ and ‘Dimensional Iron Ore’ were overflowing.

‘The problem is blackwood. There are only 200 of these in the fortress. ’

Ian and Hun swiftly roll their heads, judging by the towers they can construct and the resources they have.

The five minutes that the two of them had given while identifying the content had passed.

- Tyring!

- All waiting time is exhausted.

- Monster attack begins now.
