The Status Window Disappeared

Epic Items (2)

After accepting the request, Chris moved towards the campsite and was able to meet new friends before long.

However, contrary to expectations, the condition of the friends was not very good.

It was clear that the Black Hawk unit to which he was assigned had suffered a severe blow.

There are almost no horses in the stable, and the groans of the wounded ring in the ears here and there.

Even the soldiers who were resting with drawn faces were all wearing large and small wounds.

‘Can I carry out this mission?’

Only then will there be a high probability that he will go out on a solo reconnaissance as usual.

After making that decision, Chris moved on to report his move-in.

But before he even entered the barracks, a certain messenger rushed in as if attacking the camp.

“This is an order from Command! Black Hawks, please move to the upper part of Troud Gorge with your weapons immediately!”

“Why all of a sudden?”

The middle-aged man who came out of the commander’s barracks asked in a puzzled manner.

The messenger looked at him and answered immediately.

“There is information that an opposing player has been dispatched to raid our supply base.”

“No, something like that… After, everyone, let’s pack our equipment and go out!”

I’m not saying stop the players with this half-destroyed unit… Command would want them to arrive at the operational area first and reconnoiter.

The commander, who judged the same as Chris, brushed off his subordinates and completed preparations for dispatch.

Chris approached him, handed over the contract, and greeted him.

“Commander. This is Chris, who was ordered to move in a while ago.”

“Are you a mercenary? Okay, it’s more usable than most recruits.”

Taking a look at Chris’s outfit, he seemed pleased.

Although belonging to the Kingdom Army, it was a unit that mainly performed reconnaissance missions.

The most worrisome issue was the territorial attitude of the unit, but the territorial attitude of this reconnaissance unit was not so severe.

And looking at the damage the unit suffered, it didn’t seem like a situation where they could be territorial.

Chris went straight to the scene without even having time to learn the faces of the others.

On the back of his rocking horse, he thought about the message the messenger had asked for.

Cutting the opponent’s supply route is certainly important, but to mobilize players for that purpose.

This is like using a knife to catch a cow while catching a chicken.

Players have a health bonus, but there is a risk of injury.

No matter how quickly you recover with the player’s characteristics, isn’t there an accident that you don’t know.

If you can catch the opponent’s player by any chance, there is no such windfall for Rosehook.

Therefore, the black hawk troops headed to the supply base without a word.

Their destination was a canyon, so they were somewhat distant.

It’s a unit that hasn’t been perfected yet, but I had no choice but to hurry.

By the time they hurriedly left the camp, they saw heavily armed knights hurriedly sortie.

‘Are you trying to capture the player?’

Since the Knights were equipped with heavy armor, they were slower than the Black Hawks.

It was clear why the slow heavy knights had to accompany them.

The headquarters must be using this attack against them to reduce the number of players on the other side.

The story of the black hawk corps members next to him added confidence to Chris’ guess.

“That’s the Red Dragon Knights right?”

“Why are they leaving? I guess this information is reliable.”

The Red Dragon Knights are the flagship of the Rosehook Kingdom.

They are firefighters on the battlefield who are only deployed on the most intense and critical battlefields.

The fact that they moved means that it is highly likely that Chris and his party did not go in vain.

The Black Hawks took a considerable amount of time to reach the top of the gorge.

They began to scatter from place to place according to the command of the commander.

This is just a temporary command post and observatory, and the actual operation will take place in the nearby forest.

Only then did the commander read Chris’ employment contract.

After careful consideration, the commanding officer gave him two new recruits.

“If you notice any enemy movement, report it immediately. Take good care of our children… … .”

Although I was a little dissatisfied with being in charge of the new recruit, I was fortunate to have some degree of autonomy.

Chris immediately moved into the woods and settled down in a good spot.

It was easy to observe the enemy, but it was a position where one could not avoid being discovered by the enemy.

The recruits attached to him looked worried, sending Chris a silent protest.

But to operate cavalry in the woods and not be seen is to have no conscience.

Chris thought so and insisted on his position.

The new recruits reluctantly kept their positions, but could not hide their uneasiness.

how much time has passed since then

Just when the Red Dragon Knights seemed to have arrived on the battlefield, a loud noise rang from the other side of the forest.

Apparently, another member of the unit found the enemy.

Chris took the startled recruits and headed to the scene of the commotion to back up.

It didn’t take long for them to encounter them, probably because they were scouting in a place not too far away.

The enemy, having already spotted the scouts, was speeding up to catch them.

Perhaps because it was a surprise operation on the supply route, all of them were light cavalry, and no doubt they were members of the Kingdom Knights.

This is also a light cavalry, but the difference in skill between them is too obvious.

If the black hawks, made up of skirmishers, met them head-on, they would be sliced helplessly.

Chris immediately took out the crossbow from his saddle and opened fire on his pursuers.

Although the rate of fire was a bit low, there was no weapon like this for one-handed shooting from a horse.

The new recruits under his command and the newly arrived troops also quickly drew their crossbows.

Because it was in a forest full of vegetation, the shooting effect was not very good.

Still, it’s enough to make enemies hesitate.

The troopers, who had fled under their cover, signaled down the canyon.

Then, the commander who received the signal used the flag signal to spread their location to other units.

In the meantime, the black hawks, who had retreated the pursuing force, pursued them excitedly.

With the Red Dragon Knights behind them, they thought the only thing left was hunting.

Before Chris could even warn them, a skill was activated with vocalization from the front.

“Flash of light!”

A sharp halo of light flies and breaks through the troops in pursuit.

The horses and people within the range of the skill became fragmented corpses and quenched the thirsty vegetation.

Chris shuddered at the appearance of the opposing player, but at the same time was excited.

As expected, the information Luana gave was real.

Next is to distinguish whether he is the beneficiary of the curse or the victim… … .

Of course, I couldn’t just pounce on him here and find out.

The player on the other side mercilessly slaughtered the members of the Black Falcon and advanced.

Due to the previous battle, many veterans were missing and it was a defeat.

If they were there, they would have been able to stop the soldiers who were drunk on the momentary victory, but there is no ‘if’ in war.

Even if there is a veteran Chris in his own way, he is only a mercenary, not a member of the unit.

It is difficult for the troops to respond to the words of an outsider like him.

The player who was in the middle of the slaughter clearly had the appearance of an earthling.

But I couldn’t be sure of that.

As Chris has done time and time again, changing your appearance is as simple as using a magic tool.

Of course, the magic tool is ridiculously expensive, but considering the player’s ransom, it’s an acceptable price.

The moment the unit members turned their heads to retreat.

Suddenly, loud shouts came from the enemy’s flanks and rear.

The Red Dragon Knights, receiving the signal from the Black Hawks, launched a surprise charge.

Of course, it is an established theory that a cavalry charge is less powerful in the forest.

However, all opponents are light cavalry.

Besides, this forest is near the main road used by supply corps, so it is not very dense.

Thanks to that, it wasn’t in vain that they brought the slow and dull heavy cavalry here.

The Red Dragon Knights let out a menacing cry and pushed the knights of the Kingdom of Benicia.

The opponent’s player fought hard and tried to overturn the war situation, but the Red Dragon Knights had already been moderately spread out because they had won against the players.

One or two skills can’t handle their skill.

Heavy cavalrymen in thick and sturdy armor slaughtered the lightly armed cavalrymen of the opposing side.

The light cavalry, having been surrounded early, had no use for their only advantage, speed.

Chris and the black hawks also supported the red dragon with crossbow shots.

But even in the midst of that, the opponent’s player was as healthy as ever.

He constantly pours out powerful skills and sweeps his surroundings.

The moment when the Black Hawk troops were considering retreat at that overwhelming majesty.

The second blow of the Red Dragon Knights strikes.

If the first attack was to disintegrate the enemy army, the second attack was only to knock the player down.

Veteran knights appeared from all over the forest and charged the player all at once from all directions.

Unlike before, it was a well-timed charge.

Opponent players can’t deal with it easily either.

The dangerous wide-area skill must have entered the cooldown because it was used early.

Chris couldn’t help but clenched his fists in admiration at this sharp move.

When the opponent is in the most trouble, the attack that the opponent hates the most comes.

It’s not a very complicated and flashy tactic, but it’s just as effective.

The opposing player prepared for a melee fight against the charge of the red dragons.

The status bar provides health and magic bonuses to players, but it doesn’t make up for the skill gap.

The knights of this world are masters of close combat who only eat and fight.

The sword fighting techniques learned over decades never betray them.

Forcing the players to engage in close combat by putting the knights first could be said to be the basis of anti-player tactics.

The problem is that it’s extremely difficult to realize this, but once you get it right, the effect is guaranteed.

The player’s role on the battlefield is a kind of cannon.

It’s very intimidating at a distance, but not scary at all if you fight close!

The Red Dragon Knights gained courage from that fact and rushed at the player.

But next moment.

Their common sense has crumbled.

The opposing player skillfully engaged in sword fighting.

It was to cut down the knights based on magic and vitality bonuses.

Chris was sure of that.

that guy is fake

The real player must be cursed and giving power to him.

That’s a skill that comes from practicing swordsmanship for decades.

Chris, who had crossed the line of fire countless times, was not confident in defeating him with his technique alone.

The panicked knights fought back with all their might, but the one who took off the mask and threw it started running rampant like a winged tiger.

There is no longer any need to hide his skills, so he swings his sword without hesitation.

“What, what? Why do you fight so well?”

“Isn’t this what we lose?”

Not only the members of the Black Hawk Corps, but even the Knights of the Red Dragon began to doubt their victory.

Chris was satisfied with having figured out his opponent’s identity, and tried to step back for now.

It’s not that I don’t have the confidence to beat him, but there are too many eyes here right now.

While he was secretly backing away like the other members of the unit.

A new sound of horses hooves emerged from behind him.

He hurriedly turned his head and found the leader of the Red Dragon Knights.

Wearing red armor, he was a player of the Kingdom of Rosehook.

Although, like other players, I lost my status window and couldn’t show my original skills… He still had epic items left.

Red Dragon Armor.

It was the armor that became the etymology of the knights he led, and it was a masterpiece that boasted exceptional performance among a wide variety of epic items.

Chris thought about stabbing him in the back, but that wasn’t something he was allowed to do.

Wearing armor like that would make it look like a walking safe.

If you’re the leader of a country’s knights, it’s not something that a single traveler can have.

The captain of the Red Dragon Knights received everyone’s expectations and charged the opposing player fiercely.

Chris also watched his back with a feeling of uneasiness.
