The Latest Game Is Too Amazing

Episode 37: Clermont Recapture Battle

There are about fifty people gathered around the portal. There will be a bunch of players who can join the party because it is an operation to use the 'Warp Portal'.

There are many heavily armed people who seem to be highly defensive, either because of the expected fierce battle. Inside there are even people who wore helmets and solidified themselves in full plates. Even now, I was worried that I would be okay to go in and wear a robe in a light outfit.

Only three people, including me, can use The Warp Portal. Some people think you're a magician, but apparently you're still at a low level or you haven't acquired the skills or you can't use them.

Only five people but myself can send it because the only number of party members will be able to send it at once on the Warp Portal. That is, up to four round trips in simple calculations. I'm supposed to send the last party. Organize a temporary party just to transfer with strangers.

"Did you remember the operation exactly! Prioritize ensuring safety around the portal first! All hands, start the transfer!

Speak of the 'Warp Portal' with the decree of the seemingly strict leader of this entry unit. Magic formations unfolding instantly. The next moment had turned into a familiar landscape. Definitely, inside Clermont. The atmosphere of idleness remains the same.

"The Magic Instructor returns as soon as he is ready. Prioritize the transfer of reinforcements. The others are on standby as planned. Keep this place alive."

The leader whispers instructions to keep the noise as low as possible. The monsters still don't seem to notice, but I don't know when they will. It's a battle against time. While we cancel the party, wait for even the re-chanting time to run out. I can't do anything. This is a good time. Not yet or not yet?

After the re-chanting time, the situation finally becomes magical and I immediately return by chanting 'Warp Portal', and the repetitive task of partying with the next group.

But when the loop was in the third circle, things changed.

I saw a soldier at the edge of my sight when I chanted 'Warp Portal' again to transfer the third set of parties and transfer the last.

There is already a group of more than forty people in this place. There's no way they wouldn't notice from a distance.

"The operation continues! Steady your defense! They're coming!

The allies stand at the same time as shields and protect the magicians. I want to cover you, but I can't cancel the magic, and I'll prioritize the transfer and the operation.

"Bad, they noticed. If we don't hurry, those who are ahead will be hit."

"Calm down. I won't be knocked down right away. Next is the last time. Do what you're supposed to do."

A sober player impels me. Even if I knew, I couldn't help but feel like doing it. But that doesn't make the re-chanting time any shorter. We just have to hope the players ahead are safe.

I finally transferred with my last party but the battle had already begun. A small group of vampires dressed as soldiers are attacking a group of players ahead of them.

Have the soldiers who were in Clermont been turned into vampires? The vampires we've encountered may change their appearance depending on the location because they are also the residents of the city.

After the heavily equipped players set up their shields and staged an onslaught, they defeated the vampires one after the other. The vampires have not gathered here yet. A few were just coming at me. As a result, it could be easily controlled.

"Okay, you're all set! We're moving to the castle gate, hurry!

The heavily equipped soldiers divide into two parts and serve in front of each other and in the meantime hurry to the castle gate in a way that surrounds the magicians and magicians. As we approach the castle gate, the rebellion of the vampires intensifies.

A shielded player hit a vampire with every shield, and the vampire struck down more and more, breaking the door of a nearby house.

"Hih!?

I hear screams. It's the voice of a child. I turned my gaze in the direction of my voice. There is a young boy in the house. Probably surprised by the sudden anomaly.

And how did NPC get here like this? Given the circumstances, you're right that the NPC is evacuating inside the house, but it should have disappeared as soon as the event started, right? Was I just pulling into the house?

But there shouldn't have been any NPCs in the other cities. How could Clermont be the only one in a different situation?

When you're raising that question, a vampire rises. Looks like the battle isn't over yet. Cut off thoughts and alert vampires.

But the vampire did not turn this way and dropped his gaze on the boy. Wave down at the boy. No way, are vampires going after NPC too?

"Damn, 'Mana Bolt'!

Even if it's NPC, you're gonna let him attack the boy! Put the magic I've used so many times on the face of a vampire. It doesn't do much good for high level vampires. Still, it frightens me when it comes to direct facial strikes. He runs where he's frightened and runs away holding the boy. Other players stabbed vampires in the meantime.

"Are you all right?

The boy is mostly confused because he can't swallow the situation, but he shakes his neck vertically because the words make sense. When I lowered him, a motherly figure of the boy who came out of the back of the house hugged the boy. I feel my chest warm just a little bit, and when I see it, I return to the path that leads to the castle gate.

When I approached the castle gate, I heard a hustle and bustle coming from outside the walls. Apparently, the main unit outside is pretty close to the walls. As a result of overcoming the resistance of the vampires, there was no single shepherd and the castle gate could be occupied. I thought there was more intense resistance, so I felt like eating a little shoulder blush.

Clermont's castle gate is a bouncing bridge. He goes upstairs at the castle gate, manipulates the winch, and lowers the jump bridge.... I wonder why the jump bridge would have barricaded. Well, that helped me get out of Clermont.

With the castle gate open, the main unit hits an avalanche and breaks into Clermont. We could have carried out the operation. If we got off the second floor trying to rendezvous with our allies, that was already a hell of a painting. Because a group of still surviving vampires responded and the castle gate area was entering intense combat.

Initially, the enemy opposed each other's power. Even if you say that near the castle gate is wide enough for carriages to pass by, the road width of a limited size makes it unsuitable for a large number of people to fight. Only those in the front row can fight directly. If it's a simple battle, it's not surprising that if there's no difference in strength in the front row, it's antagonizing if the back row can't participate in the battle.

The most antagonistic was only for a few moments. Are you confused by the breaking of the castle gate? The local power is too different from that of a dull, low-powered vampire with enough fighting power and a coalition of players. Vampires exhausted in a series of fights are defeated one after the other as the soldiers in the front row fall and the soldiers in the rear row come forward. In an instant, they were driven to the edge, and the vampires were driven to a disadvantage.

The soldiers who break into Clermont go straight for the castle. It is common for a city to have vampires appear suddenly and easily hidden. Don't get distracted.

Pay attention to any enemies you overlook as you look through the map. There was one thing that bothered me then. There is only one marker that leaves the group as large numbers of allies go for the castle. When I looked in that direction, I saw a person wearing a full plate off the road to the castle and heading somewhere.

Is there a vampire in that direction, too? But all the allies are headed for the castle. There is not a single person off the road.

I was curious. Will you be all right by yourself? This is how many people are pushing it, but I don't feel comfortable with just one person. I don't even know where vampires are lurking.

I followed him. I don't know if I can help alone, but it would have been better than one. Above all, it is a rewarding event. Everyone will want to be active, and it's hard to speak up to others.

The full-plate guy was about to enter a private house. There are no vampires like you can see on the map.

"Are there vampires there too?

In the meantime, I'll call you. After shaking his body, he looks back.

"Ke, Kaios!?

Is that it? You know me? But I don't know who it is because I wear a helmet. Rather than that, a woman's voice?

The man took off his helmet as he stared at him in surprise. Long hair drips in armor. The face was that guy I've seen face to face many times.

"Rosline!? Why are you here?

Roslene should have been in the main unit. I don't think Mr. Overprotective Raul will ever leave the side. Because you can't defeat vampires on her level. There's no way a vampire like this would send him out on his own to roam the place.

"No way, did you come silently to Mr. Raul?

Roslene doesn't answer in silence. A star. Well, it's a game, so I can't help but want to play more freely than be restricted in my behavior.

"Kaios, please. Just keep missing me! I really want to see the end of this fight up close!

Desperately complaining Roslene. Even if you can't take part in the battle, is it humane to want to see the battle up close? It's not like I'm not interested either. Um, I can't help it. Worst of all, let Mr. Raul piss me off with you.

"Okay. Let's go together. But don't leave. There might be vampires."

"Oh, I'm sorry. No, thanks!

"But the castle is the main battlefield. Looks like vampires aren't around here, but where were you planning to go?

"There's a way out here that leads to the Royal Palace."

There was a hidden staircase leading to the basement as we opened the door of the private house and proceeded to the back. If you look at the map, you won't realize that there's a continuing way out of a private house like this to the castle. Was it on that information wiki? How the hell did Roslene know that? I wouldn't have had time to look up Clermont due to the impact of the event, and did you notice it during the previous test period? Maybe Mr. Raul taught me.

Out in the basement of the castle, the noise outside is echoing down to the basement. The vampires in the castle seem to be responding to a group of players outside, and the castle is empty.

Rosline rushes up to the upper level of the castle in a straight line. I went after her so I wouldn't be late. I may have visited here once because I am acting without hesitation. I wonder where the hell she's going.

Proceeding to the back of the ground floor, a red carpet was laid and went straight out into the hall where it appeared to follow the throne.

Was it the player who was ahead of him? Several people have already gathered in this room, surrounding the throne. There is a set of men and women sitting on the throne. He would be the king of this country because he is wearing a crown. Then is the queen next door?

The middle-aged king is surrounded by his enemies. Instead, he keeps his attitude on the loose. Thirty or so queens have a cold gaze around them somewhere. But what bothered me more than that was that the queen looked a lot like Roslyne.

Roslene's role-play setup is the princess of the Union of Communes. The model of the character's appearance may have been based on that queen. It looks just like that. That's just what makes you a princess.

The king glanced at Roslyne. And slurp his mouth.

"You're back, Rosaline."

A player who was around looked at this one as noisy. Is that it? That's crazy. How does the king know about Roslyne?

"I'm back now. Father."

"Did these people pay for what they did? You think I'm going to kill my real father?

I don't just know. The king recognizes her as his daughter. Is Roslene really becoming a princess in the game by having some kind of event? But I've never heard of a quest or event like that. Is it not an event that takes place solely for this "invasion of the Evil God"?

"I cannot entrust my present father to you, who will harm the country and abuse the people. If you're ashamed of what you've been doing, you should be the one to dictate."

Autocracy? You mean kill yourself? I don't think it's possible for that king to commit suicide. But it wasn't the kind of air that allowed such a trivial scratch.

"Hmm, now you're telling me, Roslene. No, it's fake. You're the one who's trying to confuse the country and drag the king down. Shame on you. Don't be confused, everyone. He is the true culprit. An evil, outrageous vampire who keeps his princess in his hands all the time. Come on, now is the time to turn your blade against a national bandit who hates his country!

"No! That man is the one who turns down his heartfelt subordinates and hurts the people! Don't be fooled!

"Now, what do all of you think? The words of the king of a nation and of a false princess. If this man is a true princess, why did he not bring his confession? That the princess inherently comes to the forefront is unlikely in itself. I mean, he's nothing more than a fake princess who mocks the Duke of Charente!

The king fans the players around him as if he's drunk on something. You can't believe anybody. Everyone's surprised and confused. I'm kind of going crazy and I'm about to laugh.

"What's wrong with that person?

The king overlooked that his mouth was loose. The surrounding attention draws attention to me. I answered with a little hesitation.

"'Cause it's crazy. It's a farce."

"You think it's a farce?

"'Cause you're a vampire and Roslene's a human, right? If you look at that, you'll see. No one can be danced to such a farce."

The map shows the king in front of him with the red mark. In other words, it is clear that it is a monster. Likewise Roslyne is a green mark. It's a testament to being a player. Anyone who is a player will find out soon enough, but no one will be fooled anyway if they are a beginner.

"Kaios......"

"Caios? The boy Raul said he was."

Look, we're all turning our swords to vampires instead of being deceived.

"An unexpected intrusion came in, but okay. Until you clear your own path."

The king rises. The queen followed suit. Tension runs when the battle begins no matter what.

For a moment I wondered if the king had fronted, and in a single leap I stuffed him with soldiers who were in the front row and punched them with their fists. The soldiers were instantly judging and consolidating their defenses with shields.

The players moved in unison by cutting it off. I'll just get out in front of Roslyne and see how it goes.

Kings and queens are fighting each other against multiple players. Stronger than any other vampire. I guess he's like the boss of this event.

Players who engage in attacks by kings who wave their fists wildly and unwrought, even from my amateur point of view. That's the player who fights on the front lines. I'm used to fighting.

Just like the other vampires. The blow is heavy. The shield of an earlier blown soldier is falling. I'm not just sorry if I get attacked like this.

You don't have a magician, they can't cover you. Even if you were there, you wouldn't be able to help yourself in this riot.

Grab one whose queen was in the front row. The queen grabbed her by the neck as she pulled. There is blood like a fountain. A screaming soldier. A queen with a tranced look at her neck.

Vampires. The epitome of blood-sucking monsters. It's the act of its name, but it's gross and turns away. The smell of raw blood was strong enough to get into the area.

The soldier who returned to me waved down his sword to help him and cut him to the queen. The queen is cut off from her defenseless back and falls. The wounded soldier was released, but after several convulsions, he stopped moving.

Dead. Even at previous events, fear is shaken when we see people die close by, though we have seen them many times. I felt so white in my head when I was Alexia. No matter how many strange opponents or how many games you say it's because it's a game, the shock is enormous. I'm not going to get used to all this no matter how much I go through.

Even if the others get upset when they see such a grotesque sight, they won't stop the fight. Everyone has a strong heart.... to the point that it seems too strong and unnatural.

But I guess they're right. If you are a player, you can be revived to the portal, and if you are an NPC, you will be revived if time passes. Over and over again.

Even if a few soldiers had put their swords up against the queen, who was bleeding. We're the only ones who can stop the vampires from doing this.

The king, who is alone, growls like a beast, smashing the enclosure and fleeing.

"Wait! Don't run away!

Rosline followed the king. Me and the other players follow her. The king's feet are fast, but the castle's domination is progressing while he battles. Even if you want to escape outside, there are players waiting for you. There is no escape route or anything else.

I guess the king knows that too. The king keeps ascending. But even if I ran upstairs, it would only buy me time.

The king fled to the wide balcony of the castle, but that was it. When pushed to the railing, the king stops and looks back.

"There's no more escape. You have to think about it."

The king laughed invincibly at Roslyne's words.

"Well, I'm sure I might be done by now."

"Then answer at the end! Where did you do the kings and queens of the real Commune Union!?

"Still don't you notice? I am the king of the Union of Communes. You're pointing the blade at me now, and I'm the real king."

"No! Your father is not a demon like you!

A king who laughs out loud like crazy when he hears that answer.

"It's a true fact. Most of all, you gave me life as a vampire. I mean, this flesh belongs to a king with no memory. Therefore I am a born king. The power that people have is wonderful. Vampires are a higher race, superior to men in everything. People should be ruled by us."

"Oh no...... Then your father and mother are gone."

Rosaline eats up her teeth and bears something. I didn't understand what the hell you were talking about, and I was just staring at it blindly.

"It's Roselyne. It's at least a pity. If I wanted to, I'd make you one of us. Don't you want to change this world with your real father?

The king reaches out to Roslyne. But Roslene must have scorned the king.

"Don't touch me, Shiro! After all, my father and mother were the proud ones who never went down to the demonic military gates, even though their lives were exhausted! How could I, her daughter, take your hand! Vampires are the higher race? Makes me laugh. What is so good about demons that are being hunted down by people! Thin, dirty demons who can only take away people's bodies!

That's what Roslene says. And the king heard the words of Rosline, and rose high.

"There's a human flair!

A king of expressions who has completely lost his reason strikes Roslyne. I can't stand a blow like that in Roslyne!

At speed, the king is totally up there, but my distance from Roslyne is closer. Stick Roslyne in the face. There is extra momentum and the two of them fall. The king's hand cut off the sky.

"Come on, let's get out of the way again! Kaios!"

The spearhead of anger was pointed at me. Scared. But I can't just be scared. I stood up and set up my cane.

Other players attack the king as well. Surrounded by many, the king kept his railings on his back and was thorough on the defensive side. The opponent is alert to attacks, and his allies are attacking. All right, for this. I can cover now that I'm still at a certain distance.

"" Mana Explosion ""

Finally unleashes the explosive magic I remember. The allies defend their faces with shields in the aftermath of the abrupt explosion in front of them. There's only one magician on this scene. My gaze concentrates on me. Oh, I'm sorry. You should have paid proper attention.

Once the impact of the explosion subsided, there was the appearance of a king who held down one arm and was injured. He seems more obnoxious to me than he was earlier.

"Never again. But even if I die, this Clermont has many compatriots. That's not just the royal palace. Even among the people. We are lurking everywhere in this country. You don't understand. Hiding us among the people. Even your flesh parents and close friends may be replacing my countrymen. And one day my countrymen will take my revenge. At best, stay scared till then."

The king, who threw up the throw-up dialogue, leaps straight over the balcony railings and falls. I can't believe you really killed yourself!? I thought a monster would fight to the end. What happens to an event in this case?

I won...... is it? Normally, it was supposed to be the flow of defeating the boss and winning, but it had a bad aftertaste with something that was inexplicable.

Still, how could that monster king have thought of Roslene as his daughter? Even though Mr. Raul's guild is within him so he can enjoy role-play with him, it's too unnatural for a monster who is an NPC to treat Roslyne as his daughter.

It was the first day of official service that I met Roslene. Besides, I haven't had much time since the game started. Even if there is an event of some kind and there is an event that can make you the princess of the Union of the Communes, can you take the event in such a short time?

In the first place, "Invasion of the Evil God" is a large-scale event of limited duration, and I find it difficult to interact with events such as those that can be received at all times. Is it the same time-limited hidden event as the "Invasion of the Evil God"?

No, that makes me conflicted. Because then Roslene's own character won't be able to explain.

Her character's name is Rosline de Commune. Besides, the appearance is made to look like a queen. In other words, I can only assume that she has made a character consciously from the beginning of the formal service to become a princess of the Commune.

So there's no way that the average player would know about an event, such as an event where no details like a hidden event are known.

A player who happens to be a princess role player gets an event where he can be a princess of a comune. Is such a coincidence possible?

The gaming knowledge I know is unlikely to give me an answer to this conflict. I think I'll have to ask him about this already.

"Hey, Roslene. You know."

"I'm sorry, Kaios. Will you leave me alone for a while? Others want me to be the only one here for a while."

Rosline looks down under her eyes from the balcony railing. She never turned to my words, she just watched the sight spread all the way under her eyes. In the atmosphere of rejecting others emanating from her later appearance, I snap my mouth and leave her.

Walk with her on her back for a while and look back.

Her posterior appearance looked lonely somewhere, and shaking her shoulders all the time.
