Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 11: War With Godenal Guild Part 2

He watched me in silence as if he was thinking deeply about my reason. I was surprised about what I did myself. All I knew was that what I made didn't threaten me; by contrast, it made me feel more secure.

"What is your plan, Agatha? You should tell me by now?"

"It's simple. Back at my kingdom, when we were outnumbered we didn't flee. Instead, we tried the common known strategy."

"Which is?"

"Divide and Conquer!"

He stared at me in clear surprise. This time I managed to surprise him.

"Then what about that misconception you just mentioned."

"For a prey to fall in the net of the hunter, it should feel secure. If it felt any threat or scheme, it would escape and not fall in the trap.

I used a word trap. It's like a child playing for me. I didn't frankly say we will enter the village in ten minutes. I just played in words to make them feel threatened. Tell me, if you feel threatened by a tiny weak existence you consider as your prey, what will be your feeling?"

"I will feel humiliated."

"Good. Then tell me, if you are an arrogant power that no one resisted before got humiliated from a person it tries to suppress. What will be your next course of action?"

He remained silent for a second before saying in a deep serious tone:

"I will try my best to humiliate this person most brutally ever."

"Exactly. When I wrote my words, I emphasized on showing to them that we were near them.

I described their army and its position accurately. The only place that we can hide is in this jungle. The best way to humiliate us is to capture us and show us in front of the whole players."

"You pushed them towards this big jungle to divide their big forces. You are shrewd Agatha."

"Don't call me that! I just gave them a moral incentive to fall in my trap, that's all. Now we have a long fight. We need to rest every time we get a chance."

He looked at me like he was looking at a monster. All these tactical skills of mine were because of my father's grace. He supported me though I was reckless.

These experiences I got from the battlefield with our enemies were priceless. What astonished me was that a huge empire like Frod lacked these experiences.

Although some settings were a good try to overcome these shortcomings, it was not enough. Every person in this world must experience war by himself.

Teaching war was a childish act in my opinion. If this arrogant aristocratic guild had experienced intense wars before like I did, they wouldn't have fallen so easily in my trap.

I experienced wars where not only my life was in danger, but the future of my kingdom and my people were at risk too. These wars were what forged me. These wars were what forged heroes.

My wait didn't last long. In ten minutes the vanguard of the Godenal Guild army had appeared. There was a group of twenty players who moved with haste towards my ambush.

It sounded like they assumed we were escaping with our lives. I kept hidden in ambush watching them. When all of them entered the trap, I attacked them without any notice.

I was in the fore north and Shin was in the fore south. That place I chose wasn't larger than 100 meters in diameter. That was a short distance to cross from side to side.

My plan was simple; we use the geographical advantage and move from north to south and vice versa. During our rapid movement, we tried to hit as many players as we could.

In the first wave of attacks, nearly seven players lost their lives. That wasn't surprising at all, each one of them was only lvl3 or weaker. If they distributed their AP mainly on their Vitality, then they would have 250 HP.

That was not realistic at all though. The highest HP of them was only 200. This was easy to deplete to zero, as my and Shin's levels were lvl4. That made our damage had extra damage than usual and higher critical and AC damage values than usual.

My Attack value had reached 16 AP. A simple stab caused lvl3 player 48 damage without any critical damage. That high value was due to the level difference which added 50% of damage to each level difference to player damage.

In just three to four strikes I was able to kill one player. That meant I could kill one player every two to three seconds if I was fighting leisurely. In just two waves of attacks, we managed to finish this small squad. This was just an appetizer.

These players dropped a lot of trash equipment. But now and then we found some good copper equipment. Shin suggested selecting the best of all as we have limited Inventory.

I agreed to his request. After half an hour, I felt that this location was exposed. The frequency of that guild attacks increased, so I suggested to Shin we should change location.

He didn't oppose my idea, but before we moved from there, we hid all these trash equipment in a big pit we found near this place. We then covered it with fallen tree branches and leaves.

Shin was responsible for saving this place location, as I wasn't used to using this feature yet. We rapidly evacuated there and went searching for another place.

After another 15 minutes, I found a good spot to hunt these foolish players. This place wasn't like the previous one, as it was full of trees. The free space for movement was limited between these trees.

This place was ideal to hunt a big number of squads. But the old strategy didn't apply here so I changed it a bit. In this special place, we can't risk crossing each other's paths.

There was no direct path, to begin with, plus the field of vision was very limited. So I took the north section and Shin took the south section of this wide place. The size of these conjoined trees was very large.

It exceeded one kilometer in my estimate. The next was simple, as we started killing these squads one after another. Although our enemy had increased the number of each squad to reach 50 players, the level difference and the special geographical features made it easy for me and Shin to kill them all.

We used chat to call for help and exchange battle updates. Shin told me that there was a live broadcast from many players near the gate of the village. I noticed the numbers of the Godenal Guild were decreasing in a speed visible to naked eyes.

After three hours of continuous killing with a few minutes' intervals, the gate only was blocked by the final 50 players of this guild.

"I suggest we stop our hunt and go straight for the village. I believe we killed enough from them to be zeroed out."

"What do you mean by zeroed out?"

"I mean their level became zero. That's why there was no squad for the past 10 minutes. Also, this is the reason behind these few numbers blocking our entry."

I monitored that broadcast for a few minutes. There was no reinforcement coming to these 50 players. It appeared that those 50 were their strongest force. I admired their strategy.

They wanted to exhaust us then they would hold the fort with their highest level players. That was a good strategy worthy of admiration. But it wasn't a perfect strategy.

They thought I had used all my trump cards, but I still had two cards up my sleeve. Let's see how this final futile struggle of yours would end!

"There is only one remaining problem."
