Chapter 243

When Seo Jun took down the first five players, the viewers were frantically hitting the like button.

-Wow lmao
-No wonder they said scouts were a strategic weapon lmao
-Right? He’s the PVP king right?
-At this rate, Geomsin Group can’t lose the first round of the guild war
-Just stick to defense and we’re good! How do you even stop the abbot with the Dragon General Buff lmaooo

And in the fight against ten players, nothing was different.

-Wait, could they lose?
-Hold on. Wasn’t the guy who just blocked that attack wearing a rabbit mask? Way overpowered
-First time the abbot’s attack got blocked
-Could that be why they lose?
-Did you all forget? We’re at 119 now!
-Oh lmao right
-The abbot’s ruthless

[You bastard!]

-lmao extreme⎯⎯delight!!!
-Damn, he’s playing the game dirty! lmao
-That timing was perfect
-Isn’t this the end though? Geomsin Group got huge value out of this?
-Judging by the conversation, doesn’t seem like it

And at the same time, the community was also discussing the related videos.
They had completely occupied Racle.

[You guys took Racle!]
[Racle was already eaten by you guys from day one of that streamer’s broadcast, so what’s this about now lmao]
[Considering the streamer’s weight class, well. Thanks for coming]
[lmao even organizing an event like this before the raid is perfect]

It was actually strange that they didn’t occupy it.
The biggest streamer before the major event, the top guild in solo lanes.
And even the third-place guild overall and Blood Oath’s group participated.
Moreover, interest in Seo Jun was substantial, but interest in Jijong Gunju was no less intense.
These were the kinds of people.
The ones who ask if they can get taste-tested after dropping tens of millions of won as soon as they arrive.
The ones who ask why skins and pets are being unlocked for free.
Among them, the guild that came as a whole and solidly established their presence in Racle was Jijong Gunju.
The old evaluation of them was.

[Surprisingly, they say those people are good at fighting too?]
==
OP
==

-For real?
└Money alone can’t solve this game
└But without money, you can’t do it either lmaooo

[Still, I don’t think it’ll work against us?]
==
They were whale players too anyway
==

-Lmao but the opponent is also a pay-to-win player. There’s no way they’d be one-shot
└But what opponent?
└In Blood Oath… the hunting grounds aren’t hunting grounds, they’re war zones… everyone you meet outside the village is an opponent

[Ehhh. Still, I don’t think it’ll work?]
==
Age, though! lmao
==

-For real young punks’ reflexes are unbeatable
-Too bad Racle’s PVP can’t be pay-to-win
└But if all nine accessories and all ten enhancements?
└That’s a bit scary, but anyway, pay-to-win doesn’t work. Probably can’t reach the very top?

Thus, their perception of Jijong Gunju remained high.
Just to that extent.
But when Jijong Gunju participated in numerous guild contents, including a guild war held every two weeks, reached the top tier, and at some point took first place, people’s perception changed.

[Man, they’re actually pretty good]
==
Their mechanical skill seems no different from the top-tier players in this game ― ―
==

-If they’re first place server-wide, that’s undeniable! Top players don’t have much difference, they say
-Those who survived the warzone are really different lmao their mechanical skill matches the top tier. They’re good at raids too
-People who get called directors and bosses when they go out into society are playing the game this well lmaooooo
└Lucky to meet them in a game at least
└Overwhelming gratitude lmao

Before the fight, they had viewed Jijong Gunju as top-tier.
That’s precisely why more attention was drawn.

[Two top-tier guilds vs one top-tier guild + inhuman creature]
==
Can the inhuman creature actually pull their weight like a top-tier guild?
==

-lmaooo inhuman creature is hilarious
-Not human
-What about Geomsin Group’s level?
└Absolutely not top-tier. They themselves would drop out if their strength was insufficient internally
└Black company

It turned out?
Jijong Gunju was not top-tier.
They were supreme.

[All-out emergency!!!!!!!!!!!]
==
Geomsin Group’s great victory!
Mi On’s crushing defeat!
Mi On’s crushing defeat!
Mi On’s crushing defeat!
==

[These crazy old men lmaooo]
==
Why are they this strong lmaooooooooooooooo
These old men are seriously strong lmaooo
==

[Abbot, you’re screwed lmaooo]
==
Can you even stop that executive’s army lmaooooo
==

[Mi On’s just getting steamrolled, both in individual skill and coordination lmaooo]

[I think we got lucky getting paired against Geomsin Group and Monster Guild in the first round]
==
against Geomsin Group ^^
It bought us time before getting a proper education from the executives ^^ luckily.
If we’d been wiped in the first occupation round, how badly would our morale have been crushed?
==

-Real talk lmao
-From now on, the executives are taking over Racle lmaooo
-Executives are incredible
-But Geomsin Group also won though?
└Yeah it’s defense now
-Honestly the situation seems pretty disadvantageous because of the generals
└The Blood Oath members with the Dragon General Buff blocking the abbot? That’s genuinely hard to break through lmaooooooo
└Executives! We trust you!
└Please secure our employment
└Employment is support lmaooooooo why does that suddenly come up

* * *

The siege warfare began.
Those defending had already taken their positions during the wait time.
Soon after, the attacking forces spawn right in front of the Castle Wall.
They will continue to spawn there and be pushed inside.
North, South, East, West.
Jijong Gunju and Monster Guild members were appropriately interspersed there.
Ppoppi’s Dad, who had anticipated that Monster Guild would crumble if one guild took two directions alone, had advocated this personnel arrangement before the fight.
But Monster Guild opposed it and insisted on splitting separately, so they had prepared differently.
‘They lost anyway and conceded.’
Chuckle.
Ppoppi’s Dad laughed while watching the enemies coming up the North Gate.
The enemies chose to climb using Ladders.
Each castle wall has five Ladders. When everyone climbs up, they’re given a brief Invincibility Time and then fight with the defense side on the castle wall.
Another path is to destroy the Castle Gate.
It takes quite a while hitting it from below before it’s destroyed, but the advantage is that once destroyed, a large passage opens making it easy to push through.
The disadvantage is that such time consumption makes the occupation timeline tight.
If they had made that choice, the opposite would happen—the defense side would send several people down to interfere.

[Attack! South Gate is coming up now too.]
[Everyone, report immediately if you spot Geomsin1.]
[Currently, which direction doesn’t have a general?]

The way the other side succeeds in the siege is simple.
Push through to the center of the castle and either have a certain number of people reach it, or capture the Lord once.
The defense side has special positions: the Lord and the Generals.
The Lord is selected from one out of a hundred players. They have no buffs but cannot die; the Generals are three people who receive the Dragon General Buff.

[The direction without a general is the West Gate.]
[So if Geomsin1 doesn’t show up on the West Gate at all……]
[He appeared. West Gate.]

The time the defense side needs to hold is 30 minutes.
Instead, since the defense side positions themselves beforehand and hold, their death rate is low, so their respawn time is one minute thirty seconds.
The siege respawn is the same at one minute.
But since that happens, the siege gains a significant advantage, though they can still match or even reverse it with individual power—which is where the three Generals come in.
However, if all four directions had Generals with the Dragon General Buff, it would be too favorable, so only three can be assigned, and it just so happened that the person of interest chose that empty spot.
The odds were one in four.
“The opponent got lucky.”
Once the siege chose a spawn direction, it was impossible to change.
The defense side spawns in the center and can go where they want, but during combat, it’s impossible to abandon the front line itself.
Moreover, if a General dies and moves again, it essentially means the line was broken.

[Ah……]
[Geez……]
[The Dragon General Buff is Unstoppable State as a baseline, so it’s the only thing that could block it……]

In the integrated chat room, Monster Guild’s scouts sighed.
Those who had already experienced it were worried. They had pinned their hopes solely on the Generals, but they happened to get lucky and avoid them.
But from Jijong Gunju’s side, which had taken all the General roles, a different reaction came through.

[Haha. Hmm. Isn’t everyone worrying too much? We’ve sent the most guild members to the West Gate.]

Since there was no General on the West Gate, more people were deployed there, and the proportion of Jijong Gunju members was higher.

[We won’t go down easy. Chuckle.]

Pa Cheon Do Hwang and Huk Wol Geom Je, two Generals, spoke in succession.
And Ppoppi’s Dad, the third General, had also begun fighting with five users who had come up.
“Still, I’ll say it again—don’t let your guard down and be ready to retreat anytime.”
It was an integrated chat room so normally he would use formal speech, but this time he was speaking to those two, so he spoke informally.
Confidence had grown for Ppoppi’s Dad too.
They had also been watching the community and thinking they couldn’t handle these young people.
Isn’t this the scary power of framing and gaslighting?
In fact, they had beaten the top-tier easily.
‘Of course, no matter how strong we originally were, we probably can’t handle that young man.’
Wielding his Greatsword freely, Ppoppi’s Dad thought.
Originally, he figured they could hold for about ten minutes out of the thirty on this castle wall, then be pushed back and take the game to about fifty-fifty odds.
But now that the real Geomsin had gone to the direction without a General, it was an unknown how long they could hold.
Seven minutes? Five minutes?

[Ah, don’t worry haha. We’ll do well.]

Kill Logs began uploading.

[Pa Cheon Do Hwang–> Geomsin665]
[Huk Wol Geom Je–> Geomsin478]
[Pa Cheon Do Hwang–> Peporo]

Almost all alarms were of siege-side personnel dying.
It was natural that those who had positioned themselves beforehand would win.
But in that moment.

[Geomsin1–> Red Blood Swordmaster]

Within the blue-effected Kill Log of those who had captured them, a red-effected Kill Log of those who had been captured began uploading.

[Geomsin1–> Crispy Outside Tender Inside]

One by one.
With a steady rhythm, not too fast.
Which made the man pushing forty feel fear.

[Already?]
[Huh? Wait, what are they doing.]

“We’ll get breached. Everyone start pulling the front line back slowly.”
If one side broke, the remaining three lines would get hit from behind if they stayed put, and once pushed, they could end up losing entirely.
Especially the North and South Gates, which were close to the West Gate, were dangerous.

[Geomsin1–> Television]

As expected.
In two minutes, they were going to be overwhelmed.
But just because that happened didn’t mean they could lose easily.
As they pulled the front line back and approached the center, they got closer to the respawn area.
And it was they who could now freely mark the Generals regardless of direction.
Then another report came in.

[West Gate, only Geomsin1 has broken through the encirclement and come inside! The line is still holding!]
[With Geomsin1’s departure, the line has been restored.]
[What do we do?]

“Hmm……”
It wasn’t good news.

* * *

“Has the Lord been identified?”
Having descended from the castle wall into the interior of the castle, Seo Jun asked the scouts while moving.

[No.]
[We counted the personnel, and all 25 on all four directions are currently in combat.]

The Lord must stay in a safe place.
If they died even once by mistake in combat, it would be over.
To identify who that person was, scouts who had climbed the castle wall a third time had first confirmed who was not participating in combat.
There were various ways to hide the Lord.
But they had chosen not to hide at all and had put them in combat.
If that was the case.
‘Someone confident enough that they would never accidentally die in combat.’
That person would be the Lord.
But who on earth could that be?
It wouldn’t be the West Gate, which had no General.
“How are the Support numbers arranged?”

[The Support numbers are just similar too.]

Hmm.
Seo Jun, who had been heading south, pondered repeatedly.
For now, there was still quite a bit of time.
It would be fine to change tactics to pushing through around the eight-minute mark.
But since they had already decided to capture the Lord…
“Can a General be set as the Lord?”

[What?]
[Yes. It’s possible, but… A General needs to constantly fight to maintain momentum, so who would set a General as the Lord?]

Mi On’s answer was basically this.
Is the opponent an idiot?
But.
If it were the Blood Oath members who had grown confident about their skill?
For some reason, Seo Jun’s instinct was telling him.
That one of the Generals was the Lord.
“Let’s go hunting.”
When Seo Jun arrived beneath the South Gate wall, he came face to face with an old man with the nickname Huk Wol Geom Je who had come down first to meet him.
The Support up above could come down anytime, but for Seo Jun, it was a situation where he was alone without backup.
“Why did you come down this far?”
“Chuckle. Can’t have you laying hands on our main force. Thought I’d just send you back comfortable-like to the West Gate. The boss asked me for the full course.”
“Talking back, Geom Je?”
“…?”
One characteristic of the Dragon General Buff was the Unstoppable State.
Immunity to all CC skills.
It was natural to think that someone who could move even when hit by Knockback/Evasion could stop him.
The greatest weapon those users in Racle saw in him was CC through Knockback/Evasion and skill chains.
“Hah, I just tried a little banter.”
“………”
“So is the Lord up there?”
Seo Jun asked as if he didn’t know.
Huk Wol Geom Je, now recognized as one of the top three in skill within Jijong Gunju at this place too, didn’t answer.
He merely laughed at the absurdity before charging.
