The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 239

Episode 239

Tak.

A golden rose model placed on the table was placed on top of the map.

There were various models scattered across the map.

A golden rose, the emblem of the Delamian family.

The Boyd family is purple amethyst.

The Gallegos family has blue eyes.

Even the orange fists of the McGregor family.

Models placed in each city of the Brennan Republic clearly showed the current structure.

“hmm.”

An old man with pure white hair was stroking his beard and looking down at it.

And right next to me, a young man put down a piece of paper with a number written on it.

[Estimated number of votes]

Gallegos – 435

Dellamian – 396

Larsen – 64

Neutral Others -105

“It’s difficult. “I don’t want to give room to those Larsen guys.”

Despite what he said, the old man’s face looked carefree.

The voice also felt calm.

“First of all, we are attracting as many neutral families as possible. Larsen shouldn’t be holding the casting boat.”

The young man pointed to several neutral families and the old man nodded slightly.

The old man’s name is Exad Delamian.

He was the head of the Delamian family and an ambitious man aiming to become commander-in-chief in this election.

And the young man standing next to him is his eldest son, Lipok Delamian.

He was a recognized successor to the family because he displayed considerable ingenuity.

However, even though their number of votes was obviously lower than that of their competitors, there was no sign of anxiety on their faces.

He was just looking at the map with an expression of interest.

“It was within the forecast range, but the loss was too one-sided. “What do you think?”

“In the short term, it is definitely a loss. But the overall trend is still ours. “In any case, neutral votes will ultimately favor the strong.”

For some reason, he seemed confident of victory.

“okay. The result is more important than the process. You can think of the losses so far as an investment. but…!”

bang.

A new model was embedded on the map.

The model placed in front of the blue-eyed models was a purple hawk.

“Often, one small variable can ruin a big deal. “What do you plan to do?”

“I’m already on my way to ask Lord Elderwick for a favor. “It may be too much power for an outsider unit, but the job must be done reliably.”

“It’s a good choice. Making efficient investments at the right time is the rule, but sometimes bold bets are also necessary. “Now is the time to show our cards.”

The Delamian family’s sword began targeting the Purple Guild.

* * *

Near Drainy City, southern Brennan Republic.

Wow.

“Push!”

“Die!”

bang! Chat!

Large-scale troops totaling more than 10,000 units on both sides were fighting on the plains.

In the middle of the two camps facing each other at a distance, the vanguards of both sides clashed.

“Are you just going to be pushed aside by foreign mercenaries? “Except for some weird techniques, there’s not much to see, so don’t be afraid and just push on!”

A tough-looking man who appeared to be the leader of a mercenary unit brandished an ax and urged the mercenaries on.

Similarly, each mercenary group’s executives, armed with unique armor, encouraged the mercenaries.

“They are a walking treasure trove! Even if you just take what they’re wearing, you’ll be selling it! “I’ll take care of you tightly, so don’t pull back and bite me, you birds!”

Amid harsh swearing and violence, rookie mercenaries were driven to the front lines, and using them as shields, experienced mercenaries were waiting for an opportunity.

These are a legion of mercenaries hired by the Delamian family.

As players followed the Purple Guild and gave strength to the Gallegos family, the Delamian family supplied troops through the Mercenary Association.

“Don’t let your guard down just because the equipment is shabby and low level!”

“Don’t look down on me and stay in line!”

The guild executives on the player side, who were on the front line, shouted loudly and raised their spirits to maintain the formation.

However, perhaps influenced by the heat of the battlefield, the players on the front lines ignored the commanders’ words and recklessly mixed in with the mercenaries.

“Die, you bastard!”

“Get out of the way!” “They don’t even have money!”

By far, the players had the upper hand in terms of individual combat abilities.

It was natural since they were ahead of the curve in terms of physical equipment and had less fear of death.

However, the speed at which troops were actually consumed was not significantly different between the two sides.

“…Ahh, you cowards!”

“healer! Where’s the healer!?”

Melee.

The mercenaries’ practical experience and combat know-how were shining in a melee situation involving many people.

While players only saw the opponent in front of them and swung their swords, mercenaries were aware of the entire battle situation taking place around them.

So, when the opportunity arose, they targeted the gap of the person next to them rather than the opponent in front of them, and the players’ response to the surprise attack that came out of nowhere was very poor.

“What is everyone on our side doing? “Why does it seem like I’m the only one fighting with the three of you?”

“Oh really. Take responsibility for the enemies you are marking! “Is it that difficult to deal with just one mercenary?”

Due to problems such as breathing problems and lack of practical experience, players were unable to utilize their strengths.

Floating. Floating.

A drum sound rang out from the main camp, and the players and mercenaries looked at each other and slowly retreated.

“It’s a signal to retreat! “Don’t fall in all at once, but slowly back away!”

While the player’s commander shouted loudly, the Delamian mercenaries left in an orderly manner without any instructions.

“It’s been two days and I’m not seeing any results. In the end it was a draw today too. Moreover, the damage to our players is greater than expected.”

Han Seohyun, holding the fox Eunbyeol in her arms, was looking at the retreating players with a sad expression.

“Because it’s a kind of spirit fight. If one side had been pushed back, additional troops would have been deployed immediately. “You look very disappointed.”

Seohyun nodded at Bae Do-hyun’s words.

“Wouldn’t the outcome have been different if we had come forward?”

“Maybe so. But this battlefield is a little different from the previous ones. The number of troops and knights is also like that. For now, let’s trust the command’s judgment.”

Purple Guild members, including Bae Do-hyun and Han Seo-hyun, have not yet been deployed to the battlefield.

In the first place, unlike other players, they stayed in the barracks where the knights stayed.

“excuse me! Where is Lord Bae Do-hyeon?”

A messenger came from the main camp.

After hearing the news, he called the guild members together.

“It looks like we’ll probably start joining in earnest tomorrow. “They want me to prepare for the competition.”

“Hwiyu~. Are you finally competing? “I got scolded because I felt itchy.”

It seemed like the guild members were bored after just looking around for two days.

As they were rankers, there were many people who cared about their rankings.

If you take a day off, you will fall behind your competitors, so it is natural to feel impatient.

Of course, in preparation for such a situation, I brought along various training tools and practiced sparring in my spare time to improve my skills.

But wouldn’t it be incomparable to gaining experience through actual combat?

“We face the enemy’s cavalry and knights. Set up your equipment based on horseback combat. And there is a high possibility of facing knights, so everyone brace yourself.”

Guild members showed various reactions to Bae Do-hyeon’s words.

Some seemed to be looking forward to a battle with the knights, while others seemed burdened by facing a difficult opponent.

“You know that you don’t have to be greedy about your major, right? If a strong player appears that you cannot deal with, hold out as much as possible and report to each team leader. “I believe that no fool would throw away his life for a useless desire to win.”

“Yes~ Master!”

“All right!”

The Purple Guild was no longer just a player guild.

Since she was the representative and face of the strangers who entered Connect, their every action was subject to evaluation.

Their play scenes are viewed by countless viewers on Earth, and Connect’s ruling class also uses them to gauge the players’ level.

Bae Do-hyeon didn’t necessarily nag the guild members.

After the strategy meeting, Bae Do-hyeon called Il-woo aside.

“I want you to lead the guild members tomorrow.”

“…huh? “Why when you are here?”

When Il-woo looked puzzled, Bae Do-hyeon spoke in a low voice.

“Tomorrow I will probably have to move separately. This means that even if I leave on the way, don’t follow me and take care of your guild members.”

“okay. “I will do that.”

It wasn’t just a day or two that Bae Do-hyun took individual actions from time to time.

Maybe that’s why Ilwoo didn’t ask too much.

He gave Il-woo a few words of advice and returned to his barracks.

Slurp.

A shadow leaked out of the empty barracks tent and took the shape of a human being.

“I guess this is solid information, right?”

“Yes, I checked it myself.”

“It looks like the Delamian family is also excited. “It’s amazing to see such bold moves being made.”

It was Kane who handed over the documents to Bae Do-hyun.

Bae Do-hyeon, who had already anticipated that the Delamian family would do something, called him to the Brennan Republic.

“Sounds fun. “I’m looking forward to tomorrow and seeing what it will be like to be a new superhuman.”

Kane expressed his condolences inwardly as he looked at Bae Do-hyun with a mischievous expression.

‘Why are you turning the Master into an enemy? You must have been so excited about reaching the top, but it didn’t work out.’

The top page of the documents Raoul put down.

The name ‘Elderwick Dwin’ was written under the face of a stubborn old man with white hair.

next day.

A full-scale war began according to the command’s plan.

Regular troops, not players, were sent into the battlefield, and the enemy command also advanced the regular troops in response.

visor! Quagwang!

With the hot sun shining, the regular armies of both sides were clashing in the middle of the battlefield, and the players and mercenaries clashed again on the left and right wings.

As the size of the troops was similar, the battlefield maintained a tight balance.

Come closer!

At that time, a group of cavalry advanced from the Delamian side’s main camp.

At the head of the cavalry of about five hundred cavalry were five or six knights wearing armor with a golden rose pattern.

“Enemy cavalry and knights appear!”

Following the observer’s urgent voice, our cavalry also began to deploy.

“Please, Lord Bae Do-hyeon.”

“Yes, we will take care of them.”

Purple guild members followed the cavalry and took up positions in the second row.

Closer, closer.

The cavalry, formed in a wedge shape, galloped toward the enemy cavalry under the guidance of the leading knights.

The enemies who were digging into the space between the central army and the left wing turned their heads when they saw this.

“Geochang! “Prepare for a collision!”

Whirling.

The 4m long polearms hanging from the horse saddle were aimed forward, and the Purple Guild members adjusted their weapons and shields.

20m 10m 5m.

In an instant, the distance between the two sides narrowed, and each person’s spear blades intertwined towards the other.

Sizzling! Flutter! Quagwang!

Heeheehee!

The aftermath of the collision shook the entire formation.

Some knights standing in the line were pushed by long spears and fell off their horses, and horses with broken legs were rolling around on the ground.

visor! Chat!

Perhaps because the knights were in charge of the battle lines, few people lost their lives in the long spear charge.

However, the formation itself was disorganized and the speed of the cavalry was completely dead.

The knights who fell to the ground took out their swords and swung them at the enemies, and the cavalrymen on horses exchanged javelins and thrust their spears.

“You bastard Delamians! Do you think money can buy skills?”

“Southern hillbillies should just stay in the countryside and eat grass!”

The Golden Rose Knights of the Delamian family and the Canon Knights of the Gallegos family fought against each other, swearing at each other.

As befits the knights of a great family, each and every one of them is a mid-level expert or higher.

However, the total number of both sides was less than ten, and the actual battlefield was filled with knights and horsemen from local families.

“Don’t dig in too hard and cover your allies!”

“Don’t get involved in the knights’ fight and keep the enemy in check!”

Ordinary horsemen who could not even use mana blades were nothing more or less than meat shields if they intervened in the knights’ battle.

But there was a purple guild over here.

“Everyone charge! “Don’t look at the circumstances, just sweep them all away!”

“Euracha!”

“Everyone attack!”

The enemy cavalry was helplessly pushed back by the Purple Guild members’ participation in the war, and the knights had no choice but to gradually retreat.

“Okay, keep pushing!”

“3rd and 4th platoons take a detour and surround the enemy!”

Following the momentum of the Purple Guild members, the cavalry commanders attempted to form a siege network surrounding the enemy.

‘Are you here…?’

As Bae Do-hyeon took a quick look at the back of the enemy lines while holding down his spear, five knights were approaching fiercely, kicking up a wind of dust.

“Ilwoo, please!”

“Okay, see you later!”

Bae Do-hyeon broke away from the formation and rode toward the approaching knights.
