Chapter 132 - Battle on Olympic Highway (4) (1/2)

Although Hanho reacted emotionally, Jisu opened her mouth calmly while putting her two swords in order.

“We are strong on the Korean server, but I’m not sure how strong we are on the world stage. On the world map, Korea is a small country, so its server is also small. So, we have to…”

She looked at Sungwoo, then said, “We have to hunt hard from now on.”

That was the right answer. Sungwoo needed to hunt more, which Sungwoo regarded as the goal after he left the campus, which was also the condition he put forward to her for her accompanying him.

It was true that Sungwoo’s group established an overwhelming position on the Korean server, but it was unclear whether they could stand tall on the world stage. In other words, the amount of gold and EXP circulating in the server was relatively small.

“Yes. We have to take the upcoming battle not as a war but as hunting. By doing so, we will be able to get prepared for the next real war.”

“Well, we should try to hunt as many as possible in the fight tomorrow.”

While listening to the conversation between Sungwoo and Jisu, Hanho looked dumbfounded.

“Man, what a relief you guys are going together like that! I feel like I’m useless. I just wonder what would happen to me if you didn’t take care of me. You are treating me well just because I’m good at controlling the community bulletin, right?”

Sunwoo ignored him and said to Jisu, “When this battle is over, let’s try to find a high-grade store and hope we can get some good luck.”

During that time, there was a lot of gold piled up. The gold possessed by Sungwoo was almost 6.1 million gold. He needed luck for this, but the moment this gold was turned into an item, he would become even stronger.

Early in the morning, before dawn, there was some noise outside the tent, but it was not that of them preparing for the war.

Thud!

“We’ve been ambushed!”

“Everybody, come out and block them!”

An unexpected war began when they were not prepared at all.

“They are coming out of the ground!”

Jisu was the first to raise her body. She noticed some strange sensation even before the noise grew louder, so she was carrying her two swords.

“Sungwoo!”

“I’m up already.”

While approaching the entrance to the tent, she zipped up her training suit. The next moment, she twisted her body.

Whoooooooo- Bang!

A battle ax missed her chin and smashed the paper box of food behind her.

“What? What’s going on now?” Hanho, who woke up belatedly, shouted, with his eyes open wide.

Jisu was already jumping out of the tent. Sungwoo put on his robe and picked up his repeating crossbow.

“Sungwoo, what the heck is going on?”

“Check it out at the community bulletin.”

“Man, are you mad at me because I complained to you yesterday?”

When Sungwoo went out of the tent, the road was already a mess. More than half of the tents were torn apart, and the Red Orcs were attacking the players from all sides.

“They came out of the ground,” Jisu said.

There were already a dozen orcs strewn around her.

‘From the ground?’

Sungwoo looked around and found cracks in the asphalt everywhere. There was a huge pit in the unpaved road.

‘What the heck is that?’

And something rose out of the pit. They were the roots of a tree about 4 meters in diameter.

The next moment, the edges of the roots opened in four, and black smoke began to swirl in the center.

Kuaaaaaaaaah!

Two Red Orcs appeared. They scattered in all directions as if on cue, then swung their axes.

Since they had been ambushed like this, it was only natural that the security guards were killed helplessly.

Yesterday, at the commander’s meeting, they concluded that it was rather easy to deal with the monsters because they had a standardized battle pattern, compared with the players, yet they had been ambushed by the monsters while undermining their strength.

“Damn it! Tankers, stick to your position!”

“Why are you guys not out of the tents yet?”

This kind of sudden battle was the worst possible development for them.

Since the orcs were numerically superior, it was necessary for Sungwoo’s allies to firmly hold their position according to their job descriptions to come up with a normal response.

While the tankers were blocking the orcs, the archers and wizards were supposed to attack them, which was the standard way of attacking.

However, tankers had to wear heavy equipment, so it took a long time for them to prepare for battle. So, in an emergency situation like now, they had to jump out, holding their weapons only. It was impossible for them to hold their place while defending against the attacking orcs.

“Damn it! Wizards, be careful!”

“Protect the wizards!”
