SSS-Class Ranker Return

Chapter 213

coup (1)

“Whoa, damn it!”

Rokhan, who chose to resurrect immediately, spit out swear words and got up.

Defeat.

He saw a moment of hope, but that was all.

The reason why immortalization is a powerful master skill. It was that he could continue his attack even while receiving damage without any stiffening or hit effects.

In other words, it is the sound that Carus blew away Lokan’s head involuntarily while Lokan’s blast was raging.

No matter how much the body was transformed, the damage that Lokan gave was truly enormous. It is normal to feel the fear and tension that even Carus may die first.

But he overcame it with extreme composure and confidence.

“So, you will hear the strongest sound. damn.”

Thanks to this, Lokan died, but it was not a bad result. It was because when he opened the unit management window, it seemed that he could hardly be caught.

Of course, it was said that he could be caught in the near future, but Rokhan saw the situation and was thinking of intervening again.

He won’t be able to use Rise of Windstorm, but if it’s a Berserk, he can use it one more time.

If only he could hold on like that, he seemed to be able to succeed in stopping Carus somehow.

The soul corps and the users who received the quest to stop the pursuit were, of course, annihilated.

“uh ”

Lokan, who was able to inspect the magic screen thanks to his resurrection from the inside, felt strange about the movements of his enemies. By now, he should have started chasing his troops, but he hasn’t moved yet.

Carus said he even wanted to die with him, no, there is no way. Because there were no system notifications.

So maybe he was fatally wounded, but if you use the troll’s regenerative power, healing spells, and recovery potions, you’ll be able to recover quickly.

Rokhan also stopped his actions at the questionable movement. It’s not too late to move after seeing their path.

The area occupied by humans is fragmentary, but since the teleport magic circle is in operation, if you ride it, you can move faster than the enemies unconditionally.

Is this also a user’s privilege?

“What are you thinking?”

To stay in place like that for a long time. The forces of the Black Dragonflight, including Carus, began to retreat.

The directions were similar, but they were not chasing after an army of men. It began to return in the same direction it had invaded.

At this point, the viewer is confused.

When even Rokhan was confused as to what he was thinking, he set fire to the estate management window.

[The Lirotogo estate is under attack.][The Hasterqua estate is under attack.][Hasani and Youngji attack… … .]The Japanese invasion of the Black Dragonflight!

The large-scale offensive of the Black Dragonflight started taking advantage of the noise in the rear due to the intrusion of the elite by Carus and the Black Dragonflight.

Although it was already expected, the offensive was fiercer than expected.

Simultaneous attack, not one by one recapture!

Perhaps there were considerable experts there, but the strongholds where they had placed a fairly good defense passed in an instant, and after that, the bases on the next line began to be attacked.

“It’s a dilemma.”

Only then can the troops be pushed back. If that happens, all the strongholds that have been stolen will be taken back.

However, if you build a defensive line with your troops again, and the charus and guerrilla units attack again,

In a dizzying imagination, Rokhan picked up the communication tool.

Each of them connected their communications to the commanders of the Japanese Golden Lion camp in their own way.

***

Even if the enemy’s offensive was intense, they could not push in indefinitely.

The situation is a little better for users, but NPCs were significantly affected by fatigue, and considering the supply and physical distance, the number of bases that could be moved and occupied per day was limited.

Lokan took advantage of that.

Instead of abandoning some of the front-line strongholds, he watched the movement of Carus and the Black Dragonflight guerrillas to the end.

The moment they confirmed that they vanished to the base where they first struck, they returned all the troops that had instructed them to slow down their movement speed.

The destination was the place where they disappeared.

“I’m back.”

If Carus was waiting there, he would have suffered a serious blow or, in the worst case, even thought of annihilation, but thanks to Lokan’s Ant-Man operation again, he was able to occupy a stronghold more easily than expected.

“Setting up defensive facilities.”

After that, Rokhan built his defenses from there.

The dispersion of the troops was inevitable, but this is where the enemy’s attack route was minimized.

When the other Allied forces were informed of this fact, they also lined up and built a defensive line.

Reinforcements of each race were already coming up from the rear, and they knew they needed to hold out as much as possible because they knew that if they continued retreating like this, they could be pushed back endlessly.

The defense facilities were expanded and additional troops were conscripted.

They also activated quests that took advantage of the characteristics of each race to slow down the enemy’s advance in guerrilla warfare and strengthen the defense.

A real all-out war has begun.

“Avoid a head-to-head match! Absolutely hit and fall!”

“Stop it! Keep them in battle so they don’t run away! Then catch it!”

The war was fierce.

As if it was a lie that the Golden Lion camp was pushing in, now the Black Dragonflight was pushing in.

As the war overheated, the quest rewards grew bigger, and as users and upper-level guilds who had been watching and holding their breath began to actively participate, more than a dozen large and small battles took place a day.

The defensive side also invested generously in defense facilities to defend the defensive line, so base collapse did not occur often, but instead, numerous local battles occurred.

As both camps actively utilized the users who grew up rapidly during the war, the things that users can and need to do increased significantly.

Of course, the one who showed the most notable performance among them was none other than Lokan.

“Wheel Wind!”

No matter how much the level was raised, among users who did not even reach the master level, Lokan was a disaster itself.

Dozens of users were split at once by activating Frenzy Manifestation and turning the wheel wind, and it was not uncommon to get hundreds of kills at once if they dropped into the enemy line with a red meteor or leaf attack.

“Lokan is out. Bounce!”

“That bastard will come back here to pick up something and eat it, going crazy!”

“I’ve already died ten times just to him!”

As the level went up, the users of the Black Dragonflight, who gained confidence by facing the master level NPCs of the opposing camp, heard it to attack Lokan at first, but as the battles continued, they felt only a deep sense of despair.

Untouchable, at least until a master level user appears.

Among Black Dragonflight users, Lokan was classified as more than a raid monster.

“I’m in trouble.”

However, Rokhan’s expression was not good. Although he struggled somehow, his entire strength was still being lost to the Black Dragonflight.

He doesn’t know if he will rise to the level of a High Master. If that happens, he will have the strength to fight against the top High Masters who are now rampaging in the Black Dragonflight, including Carus, but that was too far away.

At this point, the open master level hunting ground had only a high level of difficulty, and the amount of experience gained was poor.

If that happens, all the merits and honours I’ve worked hard to accumulate will be in vain.

Fortunately, thanks to the reinforcements coming from the capital and high-ranking NPCs above the master level, they somehow managed to hold on, but the defensive line of the Golden Lion camp was in a state of tattered so that it would not be strange to be pushed at any time.

“I’ve already been pushed a few times.”

To hold on now was possible because he had pushed back the defensive line several times.

The front was pushed back to Hushkan Castle, which was occupied at the beginning of the war, and even though it was, there was a time when it was prevented from being captured thanks to Lokan’s soul corps, which airlifted souls around the level 290 hunting grounds.

After a certain point, Carus became quiet again, but at this rate, it would not be strange if the base was broken at any time.

And the same goes for dwarves, gnomes, and half-elves.

They struggled too, but only brought a few local victories, and the situation on the front was seldom improved.

[The Emperor has called you. Please go to the Imperial Palace within 1 hour.]

“1 hours ”

Then, an unexpected notification appeared. the emperor’s call. It’s happened a few times before, but this time it’s unusual.

Moving to the Imperial Palace within an hour was usually not an urgent task.

“What… … .”The local war ended a while ago. Deciding that there would be no immediate battle, Lokan did not hesitate. He immediately moved to the Imperial Palace, the capital where he was using his teleport magic circle.

“Come, Marquis Rokkan!”

As the story had already been told, a meeting with the emperor was arranged immediately upon arrival.

The expression on the emperor’s face was serious. He looked very tense.

‘What… … .’

It was clear that it was unusual, but even as a Rokhan, I couldn’t figure it out this time.

“Your Majesty, what are your concerns?”

“Hmm, that’s the point… … .”

At Rokhan’s question, the emperor put on a depressed expression.

He slowly opened his mouth with an anxious expression and eyes that he could not see even when the ancient emperor was rioting.

“There has been a coup.”

“… … Yes ”

Was it a coup d’état at this time? To eat up the whole race. No, what kind of guy was it?

A look of embarrassment appeared on Rokhan’s face. Who the hell was doing that and what was he thinking?

Looking at him with a face demanding an answer, the emperor opened his mouth again.

“… … Duke of Killamanta, he raised the soldiers. He believed he was on my side. I thought he was dreaming the same… … .”

“Killamanta… … .”

When I heard the word coup, the first name that came to mind was Duke Justafe.

He thought that he could take advantage of the chaos and aim for the position of the emperor, if he was arranging factions and exercising influence by calling his own power.

But the reality was different. The Duke of Killamanta, who was called the pro-emperor, was the culprit.

It is unknown whether Duke Justafe was also involved, but it seemed unlikely. Because the two are friendly.

It was evident from the fact that Count Ruberon had been planted as a spy right away.

“i See.”

But Lokan could soon nod his head. The story I heard from Ruberon. It was because he remembered the fact that the Duke of Killamanta was a ‘corrupt collaborator’.

Those who want to conquer the world using the power of corruption.

It was possible for them to show their teeth at this time.

‘Because the power of corruption comes from destruction, fear and despair.’

The source of the power of corruption was negative energy from destruction, fear, and despair.

Even Rokhan knew that fact through his memories of his previous life.

And the easiest way to create that energy is war.

It was clear that negative energy was rapidly accumulating in a time of racial warfare like now.
