Between the solid shields of the veterans, the mismatched shields of the regular players wedged in.
"Raise them up! Up! Arrows are coming!"
As experienced players first raised their shields above their heads, other players who were watching them followed suit, raising their shields in unison.
The jaggedly protruding shields meshed like gears, creating a massive roof protecting the battering ram.
"Commencing battering ram advance!"
The heavy wheels began to roll, shrieking.
The Tankers, having formed their formation, checked the distance to the battering ram out of the corners of their eyes, taking steps without an inch of error.
The moment they stepped into range, the enemies on the walls, who had been holding their breath, poured down a rain of arrows as if they had been waiting.
"Kill them all!!!!"
"Don't let them get close!!!"
Thwip! Th-th-thwip! Thwip!!
Every time the arrows flying like rain hit the shields, loud sparks flew, and the wall of shields staggered from the fierce impact. However, Kwanghwi's encouragement did not stop.
"Do not stop! Push forward! Catapults, keep up the cover fire!!!"
Whooosh! CRASH!!
The enemy archer camp, hit directly by a boulder, plummeted down the castle wall with screams.
Taking advantage of that chaos, the covering fire of the allied archers cleaved the sky.
In the deadly vortex of intersecting arrows and boulders, only the battering ram continued its advance, emitting heavy vibrations.
Finally arriving in front of the castle gates, the battering ram pulled its heavy body back before violently shooting forward.
CRASH! BOOM! THUD!
Along with the loud noise, the castle gates flinched and screamed. Amidst the pouring dust, the players let out a chant in unison.
"One, two!"
BOOOOM!
"One, two!"
CRAAASH!
Destructive vibrations repeating in time with the chant. The very moment the recoil of the ram reached its peak and struck the castle gates.
KABOOOOM!!
Along with an eardrum-shredding sound of rupture, the castle gates were miserably shattered.
Between the fluttering wooden debris and dust, dazzling light began to pour into the darkly closed interior of the castle gates.
"The gates are open!!! All troops, charge!!!!"
Kwanghwi, sensing victory, roared, filled with bursting thrill.
As he unhesitatingly stepped forward at the vanguard, the allies following him poured in as if they had been waiting.
Through the breached gates and crumbled walls, the allied forces began to fiercely storm towards the enemy camp like a raging river bursting through a dam.
Passing through the narrow gates and crumbled walls, the Lord's room, soaring high in the middle of the vast plaza, revealed its majesty.
Guarding its front were only a small number of personnel.
Seeing their trembling eyes, looking as if they would throw down their weapons and run away at any moment, the momentum of the allies pierced the sky.
Kwanghwi deflected flying arrows and stood at the vanguard without hesitation.
"This is the end! Let's finish this!!"
Following Kwanghwi's roar, the moment the allies spurred forward once more.
The expressions of the bastards who seemed ready to flee simultaneously twisted into murderous sneers.
'What the......?'
From Kwanghwi at the vanguard to the rest of the players, as soon as they passed a certain section, they stopped as if caught on something.
"......!"
Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.
They stopped moving as if bound by invisible shackles. Even if they tried to take a step or swing their swords, their bodies wouldn't move, as if tightly held by something.
An unpleasant chuckle flowed out from inside the Lord's room.
Soon, parting the darkness, 'Ghost Spirit', the Master of the [Yaksha] guild, slowly revealed himself.
And beside him sat the Legendary entity,
Atop its smooth, obsidian-like exoskeleton, starlight-like silver patterns pulsed unpleasantly.
Every time its eight legs touched the ground, the space split thinly as if screaming, and its eight grotesquely embedded eyes stared at the allies simultaneously.
"Keke, you prepared quite a lot in a short time, huh?...... Well, now it's our turn."
Ghost Spirit's fishy sneer rang out across the plaza.
"Burn them!"
As soon as the order dropped, another [Yaksha] executive, 'Bizarre Eater', revealed himself from the back of the plaza.
As he lightly gestured towards the paralyzed Kwanghwi, the Legendary
A monster with blazing flames instead of a lion's mane, and grotesquely tangled goat horns and dragon scales.
As its three heads simultaneously drew in rough breaths, a red ray of light that looked like it would burst boiled within its chest.
ROAAAAAAR!
Soon, a massive pillar of flame spewed forth, violently reaching out and completely swallowing the front.
It was the very moment the fierce flames swallowed Kwanghwi's body.
Fwoooosh!!
Riding the silver spider webs transparently hidden in mid-air, the flames began to spread in all directions like a massive fuse.
"Huaaaaargh!"
"H-Hot......!"
There were no exceptions wherever the spider webs touched.
Even the allied players trapped in the snare, unable to budge, were instantly engulfed in horrifying flames and began burning alive.
Thud.
Kwanghwi, hit directly without even being able to defend against the fierce flames, collapsed in vain onto the floor, spewing acrid black smoke.
Losing their commander, the central figure, the surviving allies were swept up in extreme agitation.
The Tankers who had been firmly maintaining the shield wall fell into a panic, scattering in all directions not knowing what to do, and even the archers aiming at the walls began to tremble and mill about in confusion with their bowstrings lowered.
It took only an instant for a perfect army to fall into a rabble.
Not missing this opening, the enemies on the walls, their eyes bloodshot, began to pull their bowstrings like crazy.
"Don't let a single one escape alive! Kill them all!!!!"
"Fire!!!!"
Th-th-thwip! Thwip! Thwack, thwack!
"Kuaaargh!"
"Keugh......"
As screams and blood splattered in the mercilessly pouring shower of death, the firmly closed doors of the Lord's room roughly opened.
Soon, the bastards who had been hiding inside began to pour out like a burst dam, letting out throat-tearing shouts.
It was the very moment the allies, having lost their central figure and fallen into extreme chaos, began to miserably retreat, showing their backs as if chased while taking the rain of arrows with their entire bodies.
SKREEEEEE!!!!
A massive, eardrum-shredding shriek rang out in mid-air.
Countless shadows poured down at the feet of the retreating allies, repeatedly blocking and revealing the sunlight.
At that overwhelming presence, the fleeing allies simultaneously flinched and looked up at the sky as if possessed.
Flap! Flap-flap!
Hundreds of feathers embroidering the air. A massive formation consisting of giant flying pets and players was surging towards the enemy's castle walls with terrifying momentum.
Whoosh, whooooosh!
The flying unit piercing the sky at top speed, sharply cutting through the wind.
Standing at the vanguard of that overwhelming formation, I finally relayed the promised timing to Kangyu on the ground around the time the top of the enemy's walls came into range.
[Guild Member] Savior: Kangyu. Dropping now.
[Guild Master] Kangyu: Yes! Sweep them all away!
As if responding to Kangyu's refreshing order, I sent a pre-arranged hand signal to the flying players following closely behind me.
Checking the signal, they nodded in unison.
Soon, the formation that had been united as one split wide open to both sides like a giant bird spreading its wings, and they fiercely began to lower their altitude towards their respective strike points on the walls.
The enemies on the walls, distracted by hunting the fleeing allies.
By the time they noticed the deep shadows cast over their heads and looked up at the sky, everything was already too late.
KABOOOOM-!!
The heavy flying pets mercilessly struck the top of the walls.
The enemy players standing defenselessly without even time to guard were swept up in the immense landing recoil and were bounced off down the walls like falling autumn leaves with screams.
"Kuaaargh!"
"Aaaaargh!"
Immediately after, the absolute elite members of our faction riding on the backs of the pets made their move.
Sky Piercer, Taegeuk, Sera, Reaper, etc.
The top-tier players who commanded the battlefields fiercely descended into the middle of the devastated enemy lines, spewing the dazzling rays of light of their respective Legendary grades.
Following that, with a roar that shook the earth, the main force led by Kangyu majestically revealed themselves at the front.
"From now on, I will command directly from the field!! We will push through to the castle gates keeping this momentum!"
Kangyu's resounding command cleaved the battlefield.
Thanks to the top of the walls becoming a complete mess due to the outstanding performance of the aerial unit, the rain of arrows that had been severely harassing the allies was hardly flying over anymore.
It was a perfect timing to advance without any hindrance.
Without delay, I summoned the Goblin Royal Guards and switched their state to [Aggressive Mode].
They were monsters who had achieved storm-like growth in the swamp while preparing for the survival, and they even fully inherited a whopping 120% of my stats.
'Alright, kill them all without leaving a single one!'
As soon as my order dropped, the royal guards surged towards the nearest enemies, swinging their spears with ferocious momentum.
Behind the reliable backs of the guys menacingly tearing through the enemy lines, I began to coldly focus on the 'red dots' flashing red in my vision.
Thwip! Thwack!
As soon as I pierced one, I reflexively twisted my body and quickly drew the next bowstring.
Th-thwip! Smack!
The vitals flashing red in my vision. Towards those narrow weak point sections, my arrows lodged themselves without an inch of error.
"Keugh!"
At the powerful impact penetrating bone and flesh, the enemies who allowed critical hits spun in mid-air as if tumbling and were knocked backward.
I was properly tasting the cheat-like power of the Rare-grade skill, [Weakness Detection].
At that moment, a single arrow I hadn't spotted surged, aiming precisely between my eyebrows.
Clang!
The Griffon spread its massive wings like lightning and wrapped around me. The arrow bounced off the steel-like feathers and fell powerlessly.
The beast stared at me once with its golden eyes, then bounded forward, exuding the murderous intent of a predator towards the bastard who dared to target its master.
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Running with a momentum that seemed like it would smash the ground, the Griffon mercilessly smacked the bastard's head with its terrifying front paw.
SMACK!!
The bastard, bounced away at a horrifying speed as if defying gravity, was smashed into the floor and couldn't get up again.
Under the dazzling performance of myself and the absolute elite members, the top of the walls, which had been a chaotic mess, was rapidly being cleared up.
"Phew......"
I caught my ragged breath and cast my gaze down the walls, towards the plaza.
The plaza where thick soot and dust were fiercely rising. There, the cornered enemies were building a desperate defensive line with bloodshot eyes, as if making their final struggle.
