Chapter 6 (1/2)

6) Mock Battle (3)

Two slaves threw their bodies at the h.e.l.lhounds and died. Additional slaves collecting magic power were then committed to the fight.

“Ack!”

4 slaves were sacrificed before they could stop the 6 h.e.l.lhounds. It was thanks to the additional 2 archers summoned. Additionally, they barely managed to survive two more attacks from h.e.l.lhounds.

‘It is so hard to prevent this.’

Lee s.h.i.+n was rather disappointed with the weak attack of the archers. The coa.r.s.e bow couldn’t penetrate the thick leather of the h.e.l.lhounds.

“We won!”

“Ah!”

The 4 archers and 2 slaves that survived gave a loud shout. The 2 slaves that survived returned to collecting magic power.

Lee s.h.i.+n started thinking.

‘In the end, the damage was four slaves. Gremory had 8 h.e.l.lhounds die.’

Two h.e.l.lhounds could be summoned with 50 magic power so that was a total of 200 magic power consumed on both sides.

But technically speaking, Lee s.h.i.+n’s damage was much greater. The slaves were production units. He committed the slaves to the fight so the gathering of magic power was delayed.

‘However, 8 h.e.l.lhounds have already appeared.’

As a professional gamer, he felt a strange sensation. Two more archers were summoned from the two finished barracks.

“6 archers and 4 slaves, come out and fight!”

The 6 archers and 4 slaves automatically moved at his command. The troops moved out the entrance.

Lee s.h.i.+n hadn’t confirmed where Gremory’s camp was but he could guess.

-The 1st battlefield Asteia has four starting points in the 11 o’clock, 1 o’clock, 5 o’clock and 7 o’clock direction.

Lee s.h.i.+n’s camp is at 11 o’clock.

‘7 o’clock.’

He found it with the help of the first scouting slave killed by the h.e.l.lhounds. At that time, the 5 h.e.l.lhounds had come running from the 7 o’clock direction.

*     *     *

Gremory who was conducting the beasts was surprised.

-The enemy has appeared!

‘What?’

In fact, Gremory was surprised that she received a counterattack. She focused more on attack than defense due to her previous experience in the Ranking War.

But then a counterattack out of nowhere?

‘I doesn’t matter. They are weak human archers.’

Right now she had the h.e.l.lhounds collecting magic power. Even if the summoned h.e.l.lhounds had been defeated, she judged that the ones helping her were enough to defend.

But there were 4 people and 6 archers.

‘Slaves?’

The four slaves formed a line and blocked the front while the archers shot bows from behind.

Lee s.h.i.+n’s sophisticated tactic caused a stir inside Gremory’s camp.

Some of the slaves even started to build a tower on the spot.

-Arrow Tower: A human defense building. 4 archers can go inside to shoot arrows.

An arrow tower in the heart of the enemy’s camp! This experience was new to her. By the time the tower was completed, there were only 2 archers and 1 slave remaining.

The two archers tried to enter the tower.

“No! Stop them!”

6 summoned h.e.l.lhounds rushed in unison.

“Wahh! These sc.u.m!”

The one surviving slave blocked the way.

“Ignore him!”

Gremory cried out. But the slave blocked the h.e.l.lhounds’ path.

“Grrrrung!”

Wooduk!
