SSS-Class Ranker Return

The Beginning of the War Era (1)

[The main scenario quest has reached a new branch.]

[More than 20% of all bases were destroyed due to the corruption wave and the runaway of the ancient emperor.]

[The eight races waiting for each other's power to weaken, do not hide their ambitions.]

[Movement of a large number of troops to the conflict area is detected.]

[Main Scenario Quest: The beginning of the Great War era begins.]

[Fight. Conquer. War will be a new opportunity for someone.]

Shortly after Rokhan's reign, the system informed everyone of a new change.

The main scenario quest took a new branch at a time when the quest was not scheduled, and a huge change was made.

War. era of war.

The time has come when there is a lot to lose, but there are also many people who gain much more.

[As the era of the Great War begins, the quest rewards of Kazantia in the conflict area will be strengthened.]

[Many additional quests related to the Kazantia region are created.]

[The lords in Kazantia will have the right to create new quests.]

[Experience acquisition and item drop rate in Kazantia are increased by 1.1 times.]

Instantly, countless quests related to the Kazantia region were created, and the rewards were also improved.

If you fight in the Kazantia region, you can get 1.1 times the amount of experience acquired and the item drop rate, and if you perform regional quests in duplicate, the 1.1-1.3 times increase again.

It couldn't have been the best conditions to level up.

“This should be enough.”

And the quests were all from Lokan's hands.

You can set the setting by giving a little more money or giving special items, but Lokan tailored the characteristics of the Kazantia region to the experience point acquisition rate and item drop rate.

Even so, it was only an adjustment of about 0.1-0.3%, but it would feel like a huge benefit to users.

If you were a high-level user of the Golden Lion camp, you were confident that you would leave your race behind and flock to Kazantia. Even at a relatively low level, you will be able to see indirect benefits through transport quests, etc.

Once anyone experienced the experience and drop rate accumulated through compound interest, rumors could not help but spread.

“It’s still at the gathering level to be an army of trolls, so we just need to prepare for it.”

In that sense, the immediate preparation was sufficient.

The gathering of a large army of trolls was terrifying enough that a knight would jump into the banquet hall, but it was unlikely that such a thing would happen right away.

One of the reasons for reassurance was that in order to cross over to humans from the Hushkan Territory where large armies were supposed to gather, they had to subtly cross over the half-elves' realm.It wasn't just humans and trolls that were preparing for war, but all eight races.

“I think I want to blow the bread, but… … .”

However, attacking from this side first was also burdensome.

Although the system declared that the era of great war had begun, there were still only local wars, and no official large-scale battles took place.

In this situation, if you go wrong, you could use poison and be stamped as the culprit that started the war.

“First, we have to take control from the inside.”

Therefore, Lokan decided to thoroughly conduct internal crackdowns. Although he has reached the master level, if he can only use the incarnation of the storm, he is confident that he will not be compared to the high master, but that is because not everyone recognizes it.

Rather, it could be said that Osram, who was a high master and treated Lokan, who was not even at master level, was a strange case.

‘I wish I could bring Osram, but… … .'

As I thought, I wanted to make OSRAM also move to Kazantia. If he is a high master and has a keen eye for tactical strategies, he will be much more reassured if he protects this place.

But when he leaves, Regalia is over. It is a pity that there is no way to know it, but I had to look for a solution within the resources available.

[You have entered the Kazantian Territory.]

After completing the simple operations through the governing function, Lokan, who later entered Kazantia Castle, the largest territory in the Kazantia region, went to the barracks without hesitation.

The castle of the lord was empty as each lord who took office died, but he thought that he should meet the soldiers in charge of this place before decorating it.

No matter how powerful the Lokan, there was a high probability of being killed without the support of allies in the current war situation.

Beings above the master level were close to strategic weapons in themselves, but as long as there were masters and high masters among the enemies, they could die unexpectedly easily if not supported.

“Are you the Marquis of Kazantia?”

As it is a war zone, unauthorized personnel are restricted from the stage of entering the barracks, but Lokan had no worries. This is because the emperor's coat of arms was automatically engraved on his cloak.

With that, the soldiers were able to recognize Lokan's identity.

"right."

“I will guide you.”

As if he had already heard the news, it was a Master-class knight who first met Lokan.

After a light bow, he led Rokhan to the center of his barracks.

Ordinary nobles would get angry like lightning in this case and ask why the most senior didn't come out even when they heard that I was coming, but this is Kazantia. It was an area where force was more important than title.

Rokhan believed that there would be things a High Master ought to do in a place where there is no lord, and he followed in his footsteps.

If the other nobles were also screaming, but if the Master-class knight opened his eyes once, he would have secretly avoided his gaze and followed him quietly.

‘It could be a fight.’

Of course, there was nothing to do, but it could have been the intention of starting a chi battle.

There must have been some intention of holding down the steamship and starting a conversation in order to prevent the new marquis from babbling about the front, who knew nothing about battles or wars.

You may have heard that Lokan played a major role in defeating the ancient emperor by joining forces with the High Masters of other races, but unless you have seen it with your own eyes, it will be difficult to believe directly.

In fact, among the false rumors floating around, there was a story that Rokhan had another High Master under his command, Osram, to fight a proxy battle.

“The Marquis of Rocan von Kazantia has come.”

“See you, Marquis.”

“See you, Marquis.”

As Lokan entered the command barracks, the gathered knights all bowed their heads in unison.

However, it was not the kind of respect that ordinary soldiers do to aristocrats.

That's at least a little bit of courtesy.

Still, he was a great aristocrat, and he came from a knight with a major, so he respected it more than ordinary nobles, but a bitter smile appeared on Lokan's lips.

‘Tang dynasty army members.’

Besides, there were only two high masters and seven masters in the command barracks.

It is understandable that this may be the case due to the nature of the war zone, where numerous local battles occur, but if you are not in a battle right now, you should hear the news and be on the move.

'It's just an occasional reaction'

Rokhan's eyes lit up.

If you want to fight, you have no choice but to do it.

It is Rokhan who has already gained confidence through the battle with the ancient emperor.

If there were two high masters and 30 masters, it would have been possible to kill them all, no matter how many times they died.

"nice to meet. He is the Marquis of Kazantia. Before issuing his first order... … . I think the numbers are pretty low.”

“Ah, High Master Talaran is currently waiting at Kallog Castle. As you may know, the mood lately is not serious... … .”

"Isn't the front line here in Kazantia Castle, so I'm holding on there because I'm afraid that the enemies will go past the nature and hit the castle in the rear?"

"that… … .”

Rokhan's words were correct. Because in Kazantia, the front line facing the hostile race is here in Kazantia.

I have two High Masters here right now, and even if I prepare for it, I am crushing it from the rear because it is not enough.

It had to mean either a sabotage that could not be removed or beaten, or ignoring Lokan.

“Call me right now.”

“… … all right."

As if there was nothing to refute, High Master Delas meekly summoned Talaran.

In addition, the 23 Masters who were not gathered here were also called together.

‘He’s an eye-catcher.’Lokan, who pretended not to see the movement of the guy who acted wisely even if he didn't give instructions, looked at the situation from the beginning while they were gathering.

After identifying the location of each castle and the movement of enemies through the magic screen installed in the command barracks, he opened the estate management window and made a significant investment in the defense of Kazantia.

As it is an important base that is already well defended, the amount of money consumed for expansion or creation of additional traps was huge, but it was not a burden to Lokan.

It was because I had already completed the development of beauty potions and was slowly selling them to noble NPCs.

‘Even if you’re not a troll, humans are the easiest opponents to break.’

Since it is the beginning of a great war, the battle for a base to take and lose will begin soon, but the beginning of anything is difficult, and to make that difficult task easier, the easiest way is bound to be found.

Of course, the easiest way was to beat the weakest race.

Lokan was preparing for it. High Masters and Masters are the smallest humans compared to other races, so they are the easiest to attack.

‘Inevitably, the master skill is also defensive… … .'

Therefore, for defense, to protect the race, the master skills of the Masters and High Masters had to be defensive.

Thanks to the characteristic of ‘possibility’, he is a human being who can combine all kinds of skills, but because he has no choice but to be defensive, he is often unable to exert overwhelming power against the same high masters.

Rokhan was even thinking of tearing it apart and fixing it this time.

“High Master Talaran has arrived.”

“Master Kikon meets the Marquis.”

"master… … .”

As I was contemplating while looking at the screen like that, those who had forgotten for a while entered the command barracks.

However, the atmosphere was subtle for the late subject.

‘It’s not that I’m sorry I’m late, I’m just saying I’ve arrived.’

Lokan glanced back at them and smirked.

Master levels are a bit better. It was because Rokhan was at the same master level and had a great status as a marquise, so he seemed to be paying attention.

But Talaran, the High Master, was different. Not only did he smile slyly, but his gait was sloppy, not like a High Master. If he only looked at his steps, he would have thought he was just a neighborhood thug.

I don't know if that's the original style, but it distorted Lokan's judgement.

"okay. I was busy protecting the Kallog Castle.”

"Yes… … . Well, I need training... … .”

Talalaran was talking back and forth, but his tone was still not worthy of the Marquis.

No matter how much he treats the High Master as more than a count, it was quite rare for him to do this in front of him.

I don't know how far it can go, though.

“It’s training, okay. Then, when the words came out, shall I help you?”

Rokhan's eyes looking at Talaran gleamed like that of a beast.
