The men mobilized in the pursuit team were tormented.
“Harsh Wave Attack!”
Whenever Griffith used his skills, Bollards and Tairbeths sprang up everywhere. But in the midst of doing that, Weed could earn a considerable distance. With the gap between Griffith and the suicide corps, he cast curse magic that quickly depleted stamina. Griffith could no longer keep chasing him and returned to the Unfreezing River.
Despite the risk, Weed pressed on with the raids.
“Several times is a difficult road.”
The suicide corps went to great lengths blocking across the horizon even after dying. Repeating the chase through escape paths, they developed techniques day by day to elude monsters. Even when Weed tried luring monsters, rather than turning away some went forward in a straight line. The chased side had limited options to escape whereas the pursuing side increased their skills day by day. Damage of the sailors and pirates increased, but they quite literally with their dying effort chased him.
“You followed with appropriate force and incentive, but too bad you handled it poorly.”
Seoyoon, Rover and Geuminyi ambushed and ended them.
Only a handful followed to the end, clearly trying to kill and steal his items, unconcerned that it was tougher than expected. Even if he tried to take the undead and monsters on a raid, Drinfeld’s reconnaissance team in contrast operated in advance. Solid defenses like iron walls driving Weed into a trap with a seizing attitude evident.
Until the 6th raid, rather than closely matching with the undead, he dragged them around while using schemes! Weed smacked his lips.
“Easy and simple tactics, is this the limit?”
But going that far, he was not disappointed.
From Continent of Magic he had numerous ways of dealing with prestigious guilds in Las Phalanx and merely used tactics with the fastest visible effects!
“7 more remain but making preparations is time consuming for me and damage can also occur so…….”
Even if you kill 10 times, die once and you lose money.
Weed took Seoyoon and his men to the Sculptor’s Legacy Grounds and completely retreated.
Drinfeld continually failed on these grounds. He believed fighting head on and defeating the monsters and undead legion would be enough to kill Weed.
“This proves he’s a tanuki.”
He was clever enough to prepare at least half a dozen escape paths before attacking. Due to factors such as crowds of monsters, traps, terrain, etc. a large number of troops were working.
“Don’t chase the crowds. Broaden our area and catch him here.”
Drinfeld obviously had an ulterior motive.
‘When we just arrived in Las Phalanx he was here. Even if he is more familiar by coming before us, there’s no evidence he can wander in a very wide area. And above all, to return to Versailles Continent, he has to pass through here.’
Drinfeld’s fleet took total control of the ghost ship and the Unfreezing River.
“If we go out and broaden the hunting area in Las Phalanx, we will definitely meet him.”
Drinfeld’s reckless pursuit caused enormous damage to his subordinates. Because ultrahigh level monsters lined Las Phalanx, patience should be exercised, but his mind had no intention of forgiveness.
“In the end I will kill him. I will prevent him from returning to Versailles Continent ever again.”
For the sake of redeeming his shattered pride, Haven Kingdom’s 2nd fleet admiral had to kill Weed. Drinfeld requested reinforcements from Hermes Guild. With most of them now consisting of only Navy Knights or sailors, they could not effectively chase the fleeing Weed hurling undead at them.
- About the proposal to stab Weed to death, I request to be borrow support troops…….
After a short discussion, Hermes Guild sent a positive answer. They were ready for the soon to rise prelude of their Hegemonic alliance, but Drinfeld’s failure was instantly Hermes Guild’s failure.
-Weed’s acting as a Lich. I’ll send 15 Senior Priests, 10 Senior Wizards and 10 Knights as escorts.
The level of support troops was beyond the scope Drinfeld hoped for.
-Thank you. I’ll definitely get Weed.
-For smooth tracking, I’ll send 8 Assassins, 4 Thieves and 1 Excavator together. Be sure to kill Weed as well as dig up the dungeons of Las Phalanx.
In order to take total control of Las Phalanx on air with a show of force, Hermes Guild decisively dispatched troops.
“Those bastards, are they cursing me somewhere?”
Weed roughly scratched his ears. Although his cursing reduced much, not until 1-2 months of Royal Road did he finally start eating well.
“In Versailles Continent I have been living well-mannered but… your side touched first.”
Weed had been living much restraint. Overcharging and selling sculptures and several other products, relentlessly thrashing the price of goods others sold at, to the extent of handling beginners with the act of eating grass porridge, all done in order to live!
“Anyway, I will never be able to return without breaking through those bastards.”
From the beginning, it was not a problem that could be solved by asking for forgiveness. Not even entering with their waists bent bowing down would accommodate him.
“First, for the sake of preventing those bastards from catching me, I have to continue observation. Tori, Van Hawk, Rover, Geuminyi!”
“Yes, Master-nim!”
“Get combat ready.”
Increasing the undead legion to maximum, Tori, Van Hawk and the sculptures of life, fight preparations were completed.
“Finally, time to hunt Chaos Warriors.”
To solve the quest, exploration of Las Phalanx began at that moment. He instructed Seoyoon on how to fight the Chaos Warriors.
“These guys absolutely do not take defensive postures unless they are trying to teleport short distances. In particular, when several of them have most of their health lowered, they gather around each other, so you have to be careful.”
He sufficiently observed the combat preferences of the Chaos Warriors when fighting with undead and when Griffith fought against his traps.
“Dangerous monsters, but unless you make a mistake, you can catch. Even if all undead are sacrificed, hunt them down.”
Van Hawk aboard Rover boasted of his strong muscles, ready to exhibit maximum power of Knights. Last time Geuminyi fought the Chaos Warriors with Rover, but they were no longer committed so now he just walked.
Blocking the route to the place where the Armenian Pirates were annihilated, 8 Chaos Warriors!
To increase leadership, Weed’s Lion’s Roar exploded.
“Undead together with me, Blood Lord, Death Knight, those I’ve granted life to, Rover, Geuminyi! Everyone attack!”
“Keuaaaang!”
Weed yelled and the undead stirred their arms as they rushed toward enemies! To inspire courage for the difficult battle ahead, the Necromancer’s battle cry.
‘Pretty cool. If she sang along at this moment, it would be most wonderful.’
Weed stole a glance at Seoyoon. After many battles together, she was blocking her ears with both hands. For Seoyoon, it was just a loud noise only! After the yelling sound ended, she drew her sword and advanced. The prey was 5 Chaos Warriors.
