Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 13: War With Godenal Guild Part 4

He was really a trouble maker. I stood still in my place watching them from afar. We had managed to cross the longest part, but the hardest always was waiting at the end. In any case it was a war and not just a game.

"Listen carefully; we will do it like this..."

Then I started explaining my plan to him. He edited many parts of it, as he knew those four very well. When we finished drawing our plan we were ready to move.

Or to be frank, we were ready to bet. Sometimes Intelligence becomes the curse of the person! That fact applied to that strangest.

We then moved outside the huge circle of this crowd of players towards the village gate. When we just marched a few steps towards those 50 players, I heard an earth-shattering cheers coming from players from all sides.

I suddenly felt tense. Although I was used to wars and cruel fighting, in front of all that huge support I felt anxious. Was I really worthy of their support? Would I be able to hold the flag of their dreams?

Suddenly I felt a strong big warm hand gripping my hand and heard Shin voice echoing like warm spring breeze in my ears:

"Don't worry; you got me by your side."

I didn't look at him but I felt really grateful... and shy! It was not the first time someone held my hand, but at this moment I felt it was really the first. I kept walking forward proudly and arrogantly till I neared these players.

They were as keen as they hid their levels. As I expected, that strategist won't let us get any info about them. That meant these people weren't a hard rock as I feared. As soon as we reached them they re-arranged their lines immediately.

I noticed there was a tacit understanding between them like they were fighting side by side for a long time. I smelled the scent of war from them.

They were war veterans like me. I looked at Shin and wrote my question in the team chat. He replied immediately:

"They are faking it."

We agreed not to talk long in chat so that we didn't waste any time in fighting. That was a nasty move from that strategist.

"You will pay the price for all the humiliation you have caused!"

He was talking to Shin. Although we masked ourselves, Shin could be easily discovered from his sword.

I didn't answer him. Shin didn't answer him. Shin raised his speed suddenly. There was only 30 meters between us and them.

They were organized as 10 tanks in the front, 20 swordsmen behind them. The swordsmen were arranged perfectly in a five rose's war tactic. This tactic was a famous war tactic that I heard of.

This was my first time seeing it in my life. I knew its lone weakness. This tactic's biggest advantage was its speed in accommodating fast-pace battles. It seemed that Strange had done his homework well.

Its biggest advantage was its biggest weakness. To destroy such a tactic you need to keep changing your attack pattern and pace.

I knew a simple way of doing this so I posted it immediately in brief in our chat. This battle was getting tougher move after move from this strategist.

What really worried me wasn't him, but that snake that was lurking in the shadows. There was no way back now. I bet everything on this final 5 seconds.

Either we die and lose, or we kill them all and we win. I didn't expect myself to come out from this confrontation unscathed.

Behind these swordsmen were 13 magicians and behind them were the last 6 healers. It was a perfect formation. The missed strategist was standing between magician ranks.

He was pretty confident in his ability to hold us at the front lines! He even didn't bother to have any swordsman or a tank around him.

Magicians were very vulnerable from close distance. No one knew magicians better than me. The only protection he had was that snake!

That CC magician was standing next to him! That meant to reach him I must pass that snake first. If I gave up on him then this fight would be miserable.

But in front of absolute force, all these were just futile attempts. I looked at my trump card and smiled. The secret lies always in the surprise!

"Dragon head skill:

Active skill. Requires a spear to use. Creates a head of a dragon on the tip of a player spear. Damage = 450% Attack.

Duration= 5 seconds during which the spear must hit the target or the skill becomes inactive. During five seconds the player is immune to any damage. Cooldown: 2 minutes. Mastery 0 / 10,000."

I never used this skill before. But I wasn't worried. When Shin entered the attack range of these players, barrages of attacks fell on him.

His place was lightened brightly that hid Shin's body shape. At the same time I noticed the movement of seven defenders to circle him.

They were moving just as I expected! If you asked anyone who between me and Shin was more dangerous, the answer would be definitely Shin.

Although this strategist was like a blank page to me, I was also a mystery to him. He would put all what happened to his army on Shin's shoulders.

No one would suspect me! And here came the surprise. Shin wasn't a newbie. He benefited a lot from me and my hit and run tactic. His role was simple: Don't get killed!

All eyes were focused on Shin but the barrage never stopped. Skill after skill hit his position without stop. He also kept moving without any stop.

He once came forward to lay a hit on one of the defenders taking some HP from him. In the next moment he would retreat immediately trying to avoid a hit from these defenders nearby or those magicians far away.

He wasn't lucky all times, as he was hit every now and then. My role this time was to remind him to use his basic restoration potion. He took nearly all of my potions.

Every ten seconds he would recover 100 HP. It wasn't stressing as he was like a professional dancer, moving lightly here and there. Although he was a swordsman, these moves reminded me of myself.

I used to evade the attacks of my enemies like this. Every successful hit he made took nearly 32 HP from his enemies. Every damage he received ranged between 10 to 20 HP losses. In ten seconds he could suffer around 90 to 120 damage.

If he continued like this then he was doomed. His HP was like mine, only 260. He needed only 2 minutes to lose his life. I wouldn't let things reach that far indeed.

I didn't let what he was doing distract me, as my main task wasn't to just watch him dancing! Every second I glanced towards those remaining defenders.

They were distracted slightly by Shin's persistence and weird moves. In 30 seconds the swordsmen finally moved. They went to hit Shin. But this damn strategist was very cautious.

He didn't let all of them move to Shin. Who led those swordsmen was that veteran swordsman. His appearance increased the load on Shin who began to lose HP more speedily.

That five rose tactic was really effective in handling Shin. Five swordsmen limited Shin evading movements while the remaining attacked him freely with their skills.

Shin sent to me urgently in the chat:

"Now or never."
