There is a lot of content in a warrior village.

And there were so many different types of content, there were so many different rewards to get.

However, the most important reward in all content was, of course, "Contribution Points."

After all, it was the ultimate goal of this content to graduate from this warrior village and get the "middleman" scourge.

In other words, the priority of all content in this warrior village was to meet the conditions for obtaining a 'middleman attack’.

So the most urgent thing for Ian right now, in fact, was to challenge the consciousness of the warrior.

I don't know how many conditions it would take to get the intimidation of the middleman, but Ian found out that the ritual of the warrior was one of them.

Then, why did Ian join the battle on a Sunday that is not actually important?

It was because this‘ Flag of Valor ’battlefield was the battlefield with the least penalty.

As long as the battle rages on in this battlefield, there will be no penalty to the user no matter how many people die.

The only penalty is five minutes of resurrection time.

There was no better training ground than this‘ Flag of Valor ’battlefield because it was within this area that changed all the item settings and challenged new combat styles.

‘Well, it's a good way to roll in the Neutral Zone……. ’

Of course, in Ian's case where the Contribution Points are 0, it is the same as being penalty-free even if he continues to die in the Neutral Zone.

However, there were two reasons not to go to the Neutral Zone but to participate in the Flag of Valor battlefield.

Number one: Unlike the Neutral Zone, the Flag of Valor battlefield has more to gain.

You can earn a lot of 'Hero Points’ when you kill an enemy here.

Hero scores are useful as currency in a warrior village, so they are a significant resource.

And number two. Almost all enemies that can be fought in the Neutral Zone are still made up of NPCs only.

On the other hand, most battles on the day of the week are battles with users.

To test out a new style of fighting, it's probably a much better option to deal with users than NPC.

The combat intelligence of the NPCs is not compared to rankers from around the world, as long as Kailan's AI is superior.

And for that reason, I joined the battlefield of courage.

The excitement was that the game channel stations in each country were broadcasting on the Flag of Valor battlefield.

The appearance of Ian, the hottest person among them, these days when most of the leading group rankers can't join the battlefield on Sunday because of the main quest, is so great.

Especially in South Korea, where all the citizens of Kailan were like Ian's fans, his participation in the battle on Sunday resulted in more than twice as many viewership spikes.

- Ian! He's finally here, people!

- Last week, and the battlefield from last Wednesday... …. The whole Sunday battlefield was like steamed buns.

- Lucia's right. And of course, it wasn't as boring as the last battlefield, but it was like watching a two-way game.

- Hines' metaphor is very appropriate. Either Ian and the leading rankers showed some great battles in the first week, or I'm sure the battlefield from last week was a shame.

- Anyway, he's here today, guys! If you still have an unfamiliar friend nearby, get in touch with them now! The battle has just begun, it's not too late!

YTBC Castors Heins and Lucia.

Just hearing their excited voices, I could feel how much the South Korean fans of Kailan had been waiting for Ian.

- Here you go, Mr. Hines.

- Yep!

- Can you hold off on the story of Ian Gad and briefly explain the battlefield of this Flag of Valor?

- Oh, I'm sorry. I was so excited, I forgot to even explain the battlefield.

- Hoho, no, Mr. Hines. Now that most viewers know the rules of the battlefield anyway, I think we just need to get to the point briefly.

- Haha, let's quickly brief them on the Battlefield of Valor. It will take about three minutes for the first flag battle to begin, so let me explain it neatly in there.

Kailan started breathing in at the beginning, and now Lucia and Hines are pretending to be killers.

Following the Toss of Lucia, Hines began briefly explaining the rules for the Flag of Valor battlefield.

To summarize, it was as follows:

1. In order to win the ‘Flag of Valor’ Battlefield, you must occupy as many Nodes as possible.

* There are 20 Nodes in the battlefield, and the faction with more Nodes will win when all the time has passed.

* If the number of Nodes you have at all times is the same, you will be summoned to the 'Last Battlefield' and the faction that occupies one node there will win first.

* If one faction occupies all the Nodes, even if all the time has elapsed. Regardless of the amount of time you have left, you will win the battle with a cold game (if you win the battle with a cold game, all users in the winning faction will receive 300 percent of the Contribution Points earned on the battlefield).

2. There are three ways to obtain Contribution Points on the "Flag of Valor" battlefield.

Kill an enemy, take down a tower, or capture a flag on a Node.

* Contribution Points are proportional to the target's rank and Contribution Points when defeated, increasing the Contribution Points for each kill point without dying (0.6 percent of the total Contribution Points earned by the target so far) (an additional 0.2 percent for each kill bonus accumulated).

* When you demolish a Defense Tower, you gain Contribution Points in proportion to the level of the Defense Tower (level × 50 of the Defense Tower).

* Contribution Points are determined by your rank when you capture a flag on a Node (360 points based on Elite Soldier rank).

3. When you win on the battlefield, all users who join a winning faction will receive a "Scream of Valor" buff for one day.

* The Scream of Valor

-All Combat Abilities: +3%

-All Contribution Points you earn: +3%

- All hero points you earn: +5%

Of course, to go into more detail, there were much more specific and varied rules in the Flag of Valor battlefield.

However, as long as he was not a user who played directly, he did not bother to watch the battlefield at all, so Hines finished without further explanation.

- I feel that every time, but the rules of this Flag of Valor battlefield seem to be more understandable than God's Horse Battlefield.

- That's right, Lucia. In fact, I still don't fully understand the Word of God battlefield, haha.

- Rankers who always show cool scenes in these complex rules are really great.

- Yeah, I think it's really nice to be able to watch those amazing plays like this.

After explaining the rules, Lucia and Hines start chatting about these rankers.

The battlefield is open, but it will take a little longer before the real battle begins, so I have prepared my words in advance.

But it was less than 10 seconds after the conversation between the two of them began.

- So I participated in this battlefield...!

- What's wrong with you, Mr. Hines?

Hines suddenly stops speaking while he faces Lucia and gets up on his feet.

- W, now……! There's been an explosion, people!

The map of the Flag of Valor battlefield has a very simple structure.

There's been a slight geographical shift, but other than that, it's a simple horizontally elongated map.

A total of ten main nodes were stretched horizontally on an elongated map, with five additional sub-nodes lined up to the south and north respectively.

And as the battlefield opened, users of both factions were summoned to start at the east and west ends, respectively.

Users from both summoned factions on the other side of the map are the structures that are expanding their power towards each other's factions as quickly as possible by occupying the Node.

And when the battle begins, the users advance towards the first destination, maintaining the set ranks and positions.

Since you can't get any Contribution Points if you leave the ranks, it was actually a difficult structure to perform personal actions.

In general, in order to win the battlefield, it was important that the users united and quickly occupied a neutral Node.

It was almost never overwhelming in either faction, so it was very difficult to flip it once the wire had formed in the first place.

But it was only a predictable deployment if it was "normal."

In the beginning, Ian was included in the battlefield with the other users, so the premise of ’normal’ had already become irregular.

Phew - Phew -!

Immediately after entering the battlefield, Ian summoned the scabbard, riding on his back with a swift gesture.

And the moment he sat on his back, 'Wings of Darkness', a unique ability of the mangle, was triggered.

Shhhhhhh!

The wings of Darkness are the skills of the charging family that will allow Ian to travel the longest of all his unique abilities.

And that Ian used this skill × ×.

“Hey, someone's out of line! ”

“Who are you? What country are you from? ”

Immediately, it was beyond the ranks of the Heavenly Military Faction.

“Come back quickly without breaking the ranks! There's nothing to do out there by yourself anyway! ”

Ian's ears suddenly popped out in front of him, and a faint voice came from his ears.

When Ian hears the sound, he mutters to himself with a bloody smile.

Why is there nothing to do? I'm dying to see this guy swing right now. ’

There are fewer than twenty Korean server rankers among hundreds of users on the battlefield.

Because of that, there were not many users who could recognize him just by looking at Ian's back.

“Ha, there's been a weird one from the start. ”

“Have you read the rules of the battlefield and come in? ”

As rankers on other servers who didn't recognize Ian's bounce, they just had to think they stepped on shit.

But Ian couldn't afford to explain himself to them.

It was because we had to move as quickly as possible to take the southern canyon to launch the "surprise" we had in mind.

‘After the conquest of the Main Node is complete, the Horsemen will surely move from the southern line. Before that, if I take one place, it'll be a fun painting. ’

I'm sure it's perfectly natural.

When the battlefield was first opened, the twenty Nodes present in the battlefield are neutral areas, not the Nodes of any of the two factions.

If so, you could think, "Shouldn't we just run with the flag and stick it in the node?" But of course not.

Every Neutral Zone was guarded by neutral monsters, and it was almost impossible to conquer the Node without defeating them.

And those monsters were not vulnerable enough to be defeated quickly with roughly constructed power.

Because of this, you can conquer the central line as the main node first.

The next target was the sub-nodes above and below.

A simple strategy is to stabilize five of the ten Nodes on the main line and move the troops up and down by looking at the opposing faction.

And what Ian was after was a loophole from this general situation.

‘Before the Horsemen finish capturing the Main Node, we'll have to take a subnode south to block the tracks. ’

No matter how powerful Ian is right now, it doesn't make sense to stand alone against the main force of an enemy faction.

However, the troops who came down to take over the sub node were at the main node.

‘Now, the question is, can I catch a golem that will protect the Node...? ’

As Ian travels fast on the mantis, he continues to simulate the battle in his mind.

If the items that you set during the night can only perform as you think they will.

And has it been more than 10 minutes since we've moved so relentlessly?

- You have entered the realm of the Node (Neutral Zone).

- Can be attacked by enemies guarding the Node.

With two new lines of messages, a giant golem guarding the node appeared in Ian's view.
