Taming Master

Chapter 592 - The Great Counter 2

As the assault captain, Ian began to fly.

Flashes on the east, flashes on the west.

All towards the prey on the battlefield started to run crazily.

And as Ian took the lead on the battlefield, there was no one other than the High General who had more buff than Ian.

Ian’s movements were relentless.

[Assault captain user ‘Ian’ won.]

Three more turns had passed later, and Ian had gotten 2 more kills.

It was very small when compared to the first 3 turns when he managed to raise 6 kills, but it was tremendous considering that he was in the middle of the battlefield.

Overtime, only the top tier ones remain, and most of them would move only in the range of the defensive captain.

Thus, the kills that Ian had made till then…

[Rank 1? Celestial Assault Captain Ian: 8 Kills]

[Rank 2? Devil High General Kai: 6 Kills]

[Rank 3? Devil Assault Captain Limlong: 4 kills]

[Rank 3? Celestial High General Fredrick: 2 Kills]

The 8 kills was a huge figure.

“That crazy dude… does it make sense to have 8 kills on this battlefield?”

“Wow. He did all that by himself.”

“Yeah. So far there have been 15 kill points on the celestial camp, and 8 of them were handled by him…”

“Excluding the 2 kills of the High General Fredric, who else got the other 5 kills?”

“The defensive General called as KanjiHoonie had gotten 1. And the assault captain who just died seemed to have gotten 2 kills… the other 2 kills were taken by the officers.”

“Ha, is this a record that can be broken?”

“Very hard. That crazy one, I think that he’ll do another 2 kills in the near future.”

“Oh my, two more are going to come?”

“Yeah.”

“Ha… to see that happen, he started as a soldier.”

“Goosebumps.”

Outside the battlefield, the words ‘Ian’ and ‘Crazy’ were repeated.

Because of the lack of specs, the rankers who weren’t able to participate in the battle were able to watch the play.

By watching without knowing the users on the battlefield, then what they were talking about could be the ‘massacre of the rankers’.

But everyone of them were busy admiring the play of Ian!

[Celestial camp, medical aide user ‘Loika’ vitality has been exhausted.]

[The assault captain user ‘Limlong’ of Devil camp has won.]

[User Loika has been summoned outside the battlefield.]

The system messages which took away the rise of the Celestial camp had echoed in the battlefield.

* * *

When watching a football game, people often have the habit of screaming and grunting.

‘Ah. Why wasn’t he able to see the side?’

‘If he just held on a little more then there would have been an opening. Ah, this is disgusting.’

‘That was an empty spot. Pass it.’

And just the above grumbles.

It was because the people knew just how well the players they are supporting moved.

And if they could actually be placed in the field, the viewer would realize just how difficult it is to actually see how wide the field was.

It was never easy to see with so many players rushing in and out of sight.

And it was the same with the field of ‘God’s Piece Board’.

Of course, as there was a turn-based movement, there was much more time to think, rather than a football field.

But on the other hand, the variables and cases that could change were much higher.

Each unit had a different distance, and there were many different types of buffs.

And while keeping all those in mind, it wasn’t an easy task to fight.

But just like the crowd watching the football game, the viewers cheering the army were forced to scream.

The defensive side of the Celestial camp was very painful to look at.

[Ha, they were doing good, what is with them now?]

[Why would you open the path and give the kill to Limlong?]

[Wah, sh*t. A development I never thought of.]

[It is such a huge deal. It isn’t a complete downside but if the medical aide just dies at this point then…]

In the ‘God’s Board Battlefield’ the only unit that allowed the recovery was the medical aides.

The role of the medical aides was therefore very important in giving at least two heals.

Only with the presence of the medical aide, the successive survival of the battle could happen.

At the critical point, however, the medical aide of the celestial army was ruined.

And the aide who just died was the last medical aide that the celestial army had.

‘This is huge…’

Ian who checked the message could feel his head hurt.

With too much attention from attacking the others, he didn’t realize that one side was open.

And it was a situation which shook Ian a little.

Ian’s position was at the forefront.

And if it had to be placed in the category of someone’s mistakes, then it was either because of Hoonie or Fredric’s mistake.

It could be called as the mistake of the aides.

And Ian decided that he would play the blame game in his current situation, but decided to think about Limlong.

‘Got stabbed perfectly.’

Ian bit his lip and look at the back of Limlong.

The eyes of the two had met.

On the mouth of Limlong, a subtle smile could be seen.

And the expression of Limlong was asking Ian, ‘Kay, what are you going to do now?’

Ian bit his lip much harder.

‘That surely was a very huge loss… but I will be the one smiling at the end.’

It was surely a fatal blow to have all the aides go out, but he had to come up with another way to overcome them.

Everything that he tried for so far would be regrettable.

And if Ian didn’t win on the battle, then the contribution which would be cut was huge.

And everything would be lost without the win, and that wasn’t supposed to happen for Ian.

Then Ian started to think.

And started to place every thought in his head into a simulation.

* * *

Over time, the battle moved ahead.

The users watching the battle were much more immersed in the battle.

It wasn’t like the killing at every turn which happened in the beginning, but as the numbers of pieces left on the battle were less, the speed of the game progress was faster.

“Wah, a consecutive kill?”

“Keu, I’m not able to assess the personality of the High General.”

“I think that the defensive captain was much better? Hoonie? He too is from the Korean server?”

“This isn’t a joke. This is almost at a crucial point.”

“This is so fun that I can’t even think about doing anything else.”

And as time passed, the pieces on the battlefield were turning hard to read.

Eventually, the best users of both camps remained on the board.

In the process, the scores of both sides began to change.

As a result, the score was as follows.

—

Battle status

* Celestial

Kill points: 540

Survival status: High General 1, General 2, Special forces 0, officers 2, soldiers 0

Remarks: 2 triple kills, 1 double kill

* Devil

Kill point: 560

Survival status: High General 1, general 2, Special forces 1, officer 1, soldier 0.

Remarks: 1 triple kill, 3 double kills

The remaining users in both the camp were five each.

And the last ten were left.

But the interesting thing was that three of them were Korean users.

Which was why most of the comments of the community were in Korean.

– Wow, three of ten are Korean. Is that true!?

– the other nations have just more than one… awesome. As expected from the Kailan’s nation.

– I expected it from Ian and Limlong, but I never thought that Hoonie would manage.

– Were just looking down on Ian’s no.1 loyalist?

– lol, the loyalist fans.

– By the way, wasn’t Irahan there till now? I went to the bathroom at Irahan’s turn. There should have been 4 Korean users.

– Have you been sitting in the bathroom for an hour?

– Huh? What is that…?

– Irahan, he was taken down by Ian.

– What? I have been watching it the whole time, where and when did Irahan get out?

– Well, could have missed it. It was done in just 3 seconds. Ian hit him with a couple of arrows and Irahan was out?

– Lol, crazy… once again dead by the hands of Ian?

– Huh huh.

– Irahan always dies when he meets Ian. What kind of fate is that?

– … death class…

Unlike the festive atmosphere, the aura on the battlefield was very fierce.

The ten rankers were moving around with every turn.

There were two to three moves without any battle too, the ten users were gathered in at the center of the battlefield.

And again, the turn of Ian had come.

* * *

‘Huhu, somehow we have come till here.’

Taking a short breath, Ian looked closely at the users who were left.

Five users from each of the camps, unite together in the center of the battlefield facing each other.

It was a tight situation to be in from the viewer’s point of view, but in fact, the Celestial camp was in an unfavorable situation.

The number of the remaining users were surely just five, but the level of the left ones was different.

Unlike the Devil camp which maintained more than 80% of the vitality and ranks, the ranks of the celestial army were a little lower with half vitality down.

Nevertheless, is was the result which would come with intense operations.

By closely moving with the position of the High General and Defense captains, minimal damage could be avoided from the devil camp.

If the battle had continued without any plan, then the battle would have been over.

Unlike the Devil camp who recovered after the battle, the damage of the celestial side was accumulating.

“Huu…!”

Ian took a deep breath and looked ahead.

It was time to move ahead as he had been avoiding a battle for quite a few turns to create the wanted composition.

“Hoonie. Can I move ahead?”

At the question of Ian, Hoonie nodded his head with a stern look.

“Sure.”

“Kay, then let’s try playing?”

The turn was of Ian.
