Chapter 100 (2/2)

”Well, however, it's souild just hasn't done a guild war recently, but we've grown , so we shouldn't have to worry too much Our opponent is the Polaris Guild and there's not much of a rank difference between us either”

”Kroban is right In reality, ast the territory wars that have taken place up until now, about 70 of the”

The minute the Lotus Guild's base protection was released, the Polaris guild were the ones that asked for a territory war

The currentwas to plan out the tactic of the territory war

”By any chance, is there anybody that knows anything about the Polaris Guild's fighting power?”

At Herz's question, Carwin responded

”Hmm, there was an acquaintance of mine that had went into the Polaris Guild for a bit before, but, how to put it… Over there, it seeuild members frequently, different from us”

”Really?”

”Yeah Aside fro uild members there is close to 200 members, but I heard that only about ten ”

Fiolan, as listening next to them, asked

”What help is that to find out about that side's fighting power?”

This ti, responded

”The fact that theirproficiency can't help but be incredibly low”

”I see That is true”

Carwin agreed as he continued his explanation

”Ian hyung is right That's also true, and there, the structure is that a couple of the, while the rest of the guild members are nobodies I heard that there are also a lot of old and entered in order to wear the halo of a giant guild on their back”

Herz's expression slightly brightened

”Then that ht”

At those words, Ian shook his head as he spoke

”No, we can't just take theuild that ranks in the Diauildpower of thepower of a Diauild”

Ian orking hard and planning a strategy inside his head

Rather than a guild with bland fighting power, it looked like it was instead easier to plan a strategy when facing a guild with a fighting power that had characteristics like this

Ian's words continued

”If you look through all the territory wars that took place recently, uilds used the battles at the Valiant Battleground as cards they were throwing away, and in order to bring back a solid victory at the Battleground of Protection, they focused all their fighting power then, right?”

At those words, most of the people in the conference room nodded their head

This was because they also watched the i one

Herz grabbed Ian's words

”They did Since it's a typical strategy, and definitely a strategy where the risk is low The defending side just needs to win threeth at the Valiant Battleground”

Just like Herz said, there were also cases where in souild practically tossed the first three matches as withdrawals

They were up front about going all-out in the Battleground of Protection

Fiolan spoke

”Wouldn't it be right for us to use a strategy like this in the end as well?”

”That's right Wouldn't it be eous defending matches?”

It was an atht differently

After Ian thought for a rinned as he opened his mouth

”How about we use this inversely?”

”Are we really… going with this?”

While looking at Ian, as registering the troops in the territory wars, Herz asked with a worried voice

”Yeah I've continuously explained up until now Trust me”

Ian grinned, but Herz's worry didn't disappear

This was because, once the participants were registered for the battle that would immediately happen as well as the next battle, it was ie it in the middle

”No, your strategy definitely has a point and it's all good…”

”Then?”

”Despite that, isn't it a bit irrational to have just you as the only user participating in the first two matches?”

”We're putting in all our NPC troops It's alright”

”Even though, it's not like there are a lot of them, and they're levels are all around 60”

However, Ian wasn't fazed, and he deployed the fighting poithout hesitation

Herz, who saw that, let out a deep sigh

”I don't even kno I need to pray that the war situation will move as you think”

”Don't worry I will bring back 2 wins”

Ian's prediction was this

If thought of frouild, since the chances that the defending guild would use the Valiant Battleground as cards they were throwing out were high, they would try to pick up the trashed cards with the least number of troops

After conserving e warfare, they wouldall-out

If that was the case, then they just needed to counterplot that

Ian was planning on participating in the first and secondpower of the Lotus Guild currently, leading just all of the NPCs

It was a tactic with a counter uild, whom entered with a half-assed military force to pick up wins

In the case that this plan succeeded, there was an effect that was higher than bringing back the two matches

Once they inversely picked up the first two uild, now pressed by the situation, would have no choice but to deploy quite a lot of troops starting from the 3rd match

'Then starting froive the matches to our opponent instead'

Because frouild, if they were defeated once h they know the tactic of their opponents, they wouldn't be able to send out a half-assed military force

And after that, once their opponents deployed all their troops in the first siege warfare, they would be able to easily block the attack of the opponent guild, ouldn't have many troops left

The other guild y after hearing it, but it looked as if their worries still couldn't be helped

Since they couldn't ignore the risk if they were to fail as well

”Anyways, fighting[1], Ian If it goes just as you said, it looks like we'll be able to defend really easily”

”Yep Believe me, Fiolan”

Shortly after, a couple systees popped up in front of Ian's eyes

'Ian' has been set up as a participant in the first match of the territory war between the 'Lotus' Guild and the 'Polaris' Guild

Exactly 20 minutes froround, so please have all preparations done before then

One corner of Ian's htly rolled upwards

'This… It's been a while since I felt such a thrill'

Along with it being a battle with a scale so big that it was incoht that had a lot of things at risk

And the biggest weight was on Ian's own shoulders

After inspecting the state of his Familiars, Ian lastly checked the state of his 'Retainers' that he appointed

There was a total of five retainers that Ian appointed

Celia

Level: 110 / Class: Summoner / Rank: Heroic

Mallaim

Level: 107 / Class: Warrior / Rank: Rare

Tenpus

Level: 114 / Class: Priest / Rank: Common

Cerius

Level: 109 / Class: Magician / Rank: Unique

Loreuten

Level: 110 / Class: Warrior / Rank: Rare

Luckily, he was able to gain another talented individual with a Unique-rank named Cerius, but the abilities of the other retainers were so-so

Still, as they were all quite a high level, they would be a big help

'Now I need to control not just my Familiars, but my retainers, as well as all of the troops, so the control difficulty level will be really high'

However, he wasn't nervous

Ian was confident

As he finished inspecting even all of the equipain

1 round

And shortly after, Ian's form disappeared in front of everybody's eyes, which were full of worry

The first territory war of the Lotus Guild had begun

[1] fighting = coement, as well as a cheer
