Chapter 156 - The Last Stand (V) (1/2)
Queen Tanya's words were true. Since I didn't require the help of the soldiers to fight against the bosses, no one died and I managed to kill the bosses without the help of the other pioneers which resulted in a high amount of contribution to the queen's soldiers and the kingdom. This means I have the right to lead the operation due to how well I did in the past battles. And since Queen Tanya assigned me to this, that means she holds high regard for me. No wonder she seems proud when I took down Serbal, she is just already testing me if I am worthy to be her rival and to at least represent her on the battlefield.
Just like what Queen Tanya said, the pioneers arrived one by one. Dolly and Harmless Sparrow also entered the audience room and were surprised when they saw Queen Tanya on the throne and they are looking at me with their faces showing a question ”why is Tanya sitting on the throne?!”
The pioneers are all good players though there are some I don't think I heard of their abilities. Especially the guy who looks like a ninja. His hairstyle looks like he is a protagonist from hentai since his bangs cover his eyes. However, I don't criticize him. He has some sort of mystery from him and he emits an air of expertise on him. Although my first impressions are sometimes wrong, I am certain about this guy.
”Welcome to the 14 pioneers who are meeting me today. I am the 15th Royal Queen of Sandurk, Tanya Orsia the guardian and the queen that overseers the whole Sandurk Continent. I will be the one issuing a command to everyone about the final battle.”
I can see the shock on Dolly and Harmless Sparrow's faces. After all, we just teamed up with Queen Tanya and she didn't reveal she was royalty at all. Since I also didn't say anything, they didn't have the slightest clue about Queen Tanya's identity.
”Now that the situation is already moving to its final phase, the pioneers are now tasked to fight against the dragon that brings the whole Sandurk region in chaos. Since the leaders that are leading the demonic and monster battalions, I am expecting quite a lot from the Pioneers who have dealt with the situation the moment they arrived as soon as possible.”
The players below were starting to discuss it among themselves. Then, one of the female players pointed out to me.
”I remember him as one of the Pioneer players who got the recognition from Titania. How come he is not here with us? What is he doing over there?” she asked.
Queen Tanya chuckled at the question. ”Hahaha, of course, he is one of the Pioneers. However, he holds the highest contribution and has a 100% soldier survival rate. He has the right to be up here.”
The other players were surprised when they heard about it but the girl is still not convinced.
”How come? We have to fight the bosses with the soldiers and having a 100% soldier survival rate is just close to impossible! Also, I don't think I have seen him before fighting the other bosses or take quests. How come he still got the highest contribution?”
”Jokes on you, he did fight the bosses and he did not fight with the soldiers, he defeated them solo, although you can say that one of the bosses he killed is a collaborative effort, he still technically killed it with his own hands since his companions did not fight alongside him but were just giving support on the distance. Also, regarding the quests, he received the quests directly from me, so he didn't need to go to the soldiers and commanders to get the quest. He just needed to enter the palace and ask me for a quest. Simple as that.”
