Vol 8 Chapter 1 (1/2)
ACT 1 Cash Walker
“shi+t……”
He cursed with a sigh Things were getting all twisted and dirty Alan was a part of the so called elite 1 of South Korea He was born into a rich faround When he entered a prestigious university, it was natural that he would graduate with top honoursHe was always at the heart of the topic and never failed at anything he worked on Success was so that came naturally for him It was natural Out of the 99 of humans, he was part of the 1 elite It was also like that in New WorldAnd it had been like that until recently Since he was always at the heart of the topic and had become an enviable existence to everyone Users ran around until they got nosebleeds obeying Alan and NPCs were the sameHowever……
“Ark……!”
He had screwed up everything An unexpected siege, an unexpected battle situation and Lariette unexpectedly announced that she would be leaving the guild He was at the centre of all these events That’s right, Ark………!
He didn’t understand why Ark was so good He didn’t have abundant funds like Alan and he hadn’t been playing longer like the pioneers Nor did he have a strong organization like Raiden with the Her to boast about yet he kept on grabbing Alan’s ankle
“I will never let him”
Alan bit at his lips until it became bloody If someone looked impertinent then he had to punish them severely That was the sentiment Alan had about Ark so far But today Alan realised that he had been too couys could do any darier and snap unprovoked at a person uys like that
‘Then I have to show those guys s won’t dare bark twice I’e and end this!’
Alan sneered
‘After that I can convince Lariette again What can she do by herself? Although I’o outside’
If the situation goes as planned then Alan was sure to win Alan’s side had suffered a lot of dan But Alan had succeeded in his original purpose of reicians and catapults In addition, the presence of one Defense Tower left eneration of the walls was boosted The Her to break the walls within a time limit
‘With one Defense Tower ree weapons will be difficult If we can endure for 3~4 hours then it is our victory’
The re time was 7 hours Even if the castle walls collapsed after 4 hours, it would be difficult for the Heruild to occupy the castleThe next 3~4 hours were the crossroads in the game! And since Hermes lost the catapults, they would never break down the walls within 4 hours
‘The result of this siege is already clear’
After visualizing the situation in his ave a relaxed s
Bang bang double bang!
Suddenly he heard a roar frouild immediately identified the sound
“Alan, those guys have started to attack with the catapults again!”
“What? Catapult?”
“Yes, the situation is urgent The repair rate of the walls cannot keep up with the dae”
“What nonsense are you saying……the catapults were destroyed!”
Alan could not understand the situation Once the siege begins then they were no longer able to procure ed to repair the catapults The Hermes Alliance must’ve hired craftsmen to repair it so quickly But he never received information that any of the NPC ed to repair the catapults in the end The catapults had definitely received a lot of dae from his concentrated attacks
‘But how?’
He figured out the reason after he looked over the wall The NPCs repairing the catapults had pricked ears with a broad tail attached It was the NPCs mercenaries who had shown up with Ark and Dark Eden and fired the portable cannons that did a lot of dae Thosenext to the mercenaries, sparks flew from his eyes
“Ark! It’s you again?”
“Sir Alan The reAt this rate………”
“There’s no need to panic!”
Alan roughly ordered and turned his body
“It doesn’t change the fact that there are only 7 hours left If we e to defend the throne for 7 hours then it is our victory We’ll concentrate all our energies on protecting the castle walls for the moment And you head to the courtroom and tell the paladins to be prepared
“The paladins……you’re using theain?”
“It was a promise with the ArchbishopIf the castle is about to be taken away then there won’t be any trouble”
“I understand”
The guild ive support
Bang bang double bang!
The rocks flew through the sky at an incredible speed and crashed into the castle wall It blew debris all over the place with the durability of the walls noticeably decreasing
‘Wow, this, unbelievable……!’
Raiden sed his saliva as he watched the scene The raccoon clan had started repairing the catapults and after 2 hours they looked like new But they didn’t simply repair it
“Hmm, I don’t understand”
“Why did they design this part?”
“If they did this then the range and dae would be much better……”
When they first started repairing, the raccoons beca Ark didn’t miss the conversation
“So you can raise the performance of the catapults if you have the materials?”
“The materials aren’t necessary No, we actually have to res to raise the performance They put wasteful equipment in which lowered the performance”
“They seemed to have put several unnecessary parts in to ensure that anybody could use it……if an expert uses it then the continuous shooting speed would be quicker”
“Experts?”
“A craftsman like us”
After his answer Ark heard the sound of pouring gold coins
“Then wait a minute I’ll ask Raiden if you can convert it”
Ark ran like the wind and explained it to Raiden
“Upgrade? Then of course they have to remodel it!”
Raiden welcomed the speedy solution with open armsThen he noticed Ark’s face as Ark replied
“But it requires some valuable materials to convert the catapult It isn’t possible to explain the trade secrets of the NPC craftsmen……therefore they’ll demonstrate the performance but they’ll have to operate it directly”
“……Is it money?”
It fit perfectly well By now, Raiden was able to 100 grasp Ark’s nature Ark was like a cunning merchant as he made a proposal
“The upgrade cost and labour costs is 30 gold per NPC So that’s 600 gold in total How about it? Because of ree to this repair price Aren’t you thankful? Please decide as soon as possible There’s no time”
He could earn money on the battlefield Once Ark realised that, he persistently bit at Raiden’s pocket Although his real profession was Dark Walker, Ark was more like a Cash Walker And in New World, Raiden was a user strong in a specialized field It was i a scam However, it was a situation where even 1 minute was critical!
“……I’ll put it on the account”
Raiden wrote up another contract with an expression that looked like he was eating shi+t
“That’s it Now please hurry!”
After taking the contract, Ark hurried back to the raccoons and immediately made them start work In fact, Ark did not have thaton Alan, the contracts with Raiden relied on hiet anythingThe 100 interrades totalled 1,600 gold! If he didn’t win then it would be difficult to claim the money Fortunately, the raccoons were the best craftsmen NPCs and soon finished all the work
“This is the upgraded catapult?”
Raiden’s face showed an expression of disappointed appearance of the catapult However, his face brightened after watching the perfore had been upgraded In addition, it normally took users 4~5 minutes to use it but the raccoons only took 2speed was 2 times faster
………He was able to confirm its power
The durability of the walls fell at a faster rate than when attacked by the golee, they didn’t have to worry about the arrows flying frohed when he saw that people from Dawn Blade were in a state of panic
“How is it? Isn’t this worth 80 gold?”
“Well, I guess……”
Raiden scowled at Ark
‘What on earth is with this kid? He leads a group of NPCs And the warrior NPCs are er than usual And there is also the cats who flew around at the beginning……how on earth did he e to hire such NPCs?’
Even though he was a pioneer, he couldn’t iame system
‘And why is he so sha money………’
Raiden shook his head He was a very scary guy ould start biting once he found a weakness In New World, it was the first time that he had seen such aArk had successfully negotiated the price of the h it was an appropriate price and it was necessary, Raiden was still getting his money stolenIn fact, it wasn’t that different from Ark’s view on life
‘If you receive a meal, there is no reason to mourn the price’
While Ark used scams to swindle money, at least he never PKed anyone But he never does anything free of charge
Give and take!
Wasn’t it natural that he receives a prize for a favour? Thanks to thatat Raiden After all, when the crisis is over then the Hermes Alliance will immediately become profitable
Once the catapults were repaired, the Dawn Blade coalition ih daetsu and Dark Eden joined to rally the troops, but the situation was less dangerous because Alan wasn’t there to directly influence them Once the attack was completely blocked, the Hermes Alliance had a chance to win
-The 2 Defense Toere destroyed
The shi+eld applied to the castle walls has been reduced by 100
The recovery rate of the durability of the walls has been reduced by 100
Since the start of the siege, they accomplished the feat in only 19 hours Noel and Hamanechi had continuously attacked the Defense TowerUnlike Ark’s forces, they were pushed hard by the defense and only 300 survivors re-joined the main force
“Currently we have 900 people but those guys have received considerably e Since the Defense Towers are destroyed, it is only a h they have the favourable terrain of the castle to doh No, ill certainly win!”
Raiden becaood news
“Keep on attacking! Not long now!”
Raiden waved his mace around and yelled until his throat was sore Then……
Tu tu tu tung, kang, kwarururu!
With a roar, the gate and walls eventually fell apart
“The whole are!”
“Wah ah ah!”
“Sweep theo to the Hermes Alliance!”
Raiden and the 900 users rushed into the castle shouting wildly There was no place for the Hermes Alliance or Dawn Blade coalition to withdraw anymore It was the final decisive battle!
A fierce battle aged as if amissiles flew about and a number bomb destroyed several hundred thousand people inat the end in the enemy camp was the infantry
War in New World was no different The icians and priests fro left was the warriors with high health and defense Which one had the higher level? Who had stronger equips that would determine the final result But it was a little bit different battling inside the castle co outsideIt wasn’t a vast empty plain Inside the castle, it was densely packed In other words, it meant that the hundreds of people couldn’t just stampede into the castle The watchtoere also placed in strategically important positions From the standpoint of the attackers, they had to quickly take off the various facilities with as little dae as possible!
On the other hand, the results depended on how long the other side could defend and hold outOf course, this required more advanced tactics then all-out war In that sense, Raiden was a professional
“There is no need to rush After the walls cruuys are already at the bottom Hermes and Silver Moon will take the front while Noel and Haetsu and Dark Eden will deal with the re forces Now 2nd line, advance and occupy the watchtowers in the front!”
Raiden quickly ordered simultaneously
Square, barracks, and above the collapsed walls……the warriors’ bloody battles spread out all over the place Ark and the survivors of Dark Eden were also in the middle of the confusion
“Now it’s ti!”
Tazza breathed out hot air froer The thieves, Cross and the Meow all followed However, Ark became surprised and shook his head
“No, Dark Eden will stay in the back and assist”
“What?”
“We’ve already received considerable dae Unless the battle situation becoe Our purpose for co Alan’s face then how unfair will that be?”
“Certainly but……”
“But……the people who’ve died……as the leader of Dark Eden, won’t you let us fight and defend their honour?”
Cross said as he couldn’t agree with the decision Ark sighed and shook his head
“Yes, I know that it isn’t suitable behaviour for a knight I will take the bla you will be even more painful than your condemnation Since hts dieI’ll receive all your criticis, this is a command”
“Ark………You are really……!”
Cross looked at Ark impressed He was a commander who thinks of the lives of his soldiers more than his honour! What kind of soldiers wouldn’t follow such a commander? The rehabilitation members and the thieves also nodded with a face as impressed as Cross’
“I’ll follow your command”
Ark breathed a sigh of relief
‘I cannot lose any more NPCs!’
Thanks to the repeated co JusticeMan and Roco, 6 roup had died with only 4 surviving Out of the 70 NPCs, 30 had died It was understandable since it would be difficult to take part in the ith their levels But after considering the dae, Ark had to make a decision Since it was likely that they would win the battle, there was no need to go out and receive unnecessary dae Then Cross asked in a worried tone
“But to fight like that in such a confusing battle……”
