Delicious, quick to eat grilled meat. The Geomchis had brought food over from Morata in order to eat. It did not matter if they wanted to eat rice in the middle of the fight with the Hermes Guild! Weed made some marinade for the meat as the Geomchis handed over their weapons and armor.
“It’s a bit worn out.”
“I just came back from the ocean. Can you fix it?”
The Geomchis took off their black armor that had less than 20 durability points left.
“It will not be that difficult since its not completely broken.”
Weed repaired the equipment to maximum durability and set a whetstone on the floor.
“Hello. You look good as a Doom Knight.”
“Long time no see, I’m Belotte.”
Pale cautiously made his way around Pollon’s camp to scout and returned.
“Euheum, the rangers of the Hermes Guild…they’re not going to be that challenging. By the way, Maylon is on today.”
“At such a time?”
“Let me see if its time yet”
Maylon was busy everyday so she decided to take a vacation for this major battle to go hunt Bar Khan. The priest and paladins from Morata watched as Weed, that they looked up to and admired, carried on in ordinary conversation with his friends.
“At such a time…! In front of such a large battle, how can they be so relaxed.’
‘Are they not scared of the Hermes Guild?’
Weed worked the whetstone as the paladins and priests came by to say their hellos.
“Hello.”
“Nice to meet you Weed.”
High level priests and paladins! They could not read the expression on Doom Knight, Weed’s, face. Weed began to contemplate his possibilities with the priests and paladins.
“Do you have everything you need?”
“Yes?”
“Would you like to have a bargain?”
Inside his backpack were all sorts of japtem and rusty weapons such as maces for priests to use. For priests, it had many divine stats that would help them in the fight against the undead. Weed had used the undead to keep fighting against Pollon’s Hermes Guild unit regularly.
“Who are they?”
“Weed’s colleagues?”
“I don’t know why they came here. Surely they’re not here to help Weed attack us?”
From the report that they had on Weed, he mostly moved alone and only had a few friends. However there were more than 1000 priests and paladins with the Geomchis that have arrived. Weed was not the type to ask for help in a personal fight. There was no way that Pollon had thought that he had called them from Morata to hunt down Bar Khan.
“I’m in trouble.”
Pollon and the users of the Hermes Guild could not believe it.
***
Every board associated with Royal Road had topics about Weed and the Hermes Guild Battle.
-The shining star known as Weed has descended.
-Isn’t the Hermes Guild the strongest guild on the Continent of Versailles?”
Time after time, Weed appeared before Pollon’s unit. Public opinion began to change.
-Weed’s true ability.
-Hermes Guild finally meets their match.
-Pollon’s prided magic, ranged, and knights group are going to fall to the undead.
-Is there really a limit to Weed’s leadership skills?
In more ways than one it was an urgent concern. The number of users that cheered for Weed was overwhelming. Broadcasters were forced to side with Weed in every battle. Just by doing that their ratings would increase 2-3 times more than usual! The broadcasters had smiles hanging from their faces.
“They just keep fighting all day.”
“Quickly finish the advertising…people want to get back to the broadcast.”
More people began to hope that the undead defeat Pollon’s unit. Every time a Hermes Guild unit died, the audience had a heated reaction.
Weed’s reinforcements had arrived. They had a large amount of priests and paladins for healing combined with blessing and other abilities that were crucial to a prolonged war. The hosts of the stations covered this pivotal point live.
“The undead are comprised of non user units so Weed will not retreat anymore.”
Each station had a different perspective. Most of them thought that Pollon’s unit was higher level and thus had the advantage.
“Even if the Hermes Guild is high level, we can not ignore the fact that the priest and paladins are wearing the professional equipment.”
“Their equipment looks a bit worn out. Will this make a difference to the battle?”
“Undead and divine power will conflict with each other so it will be difficult for Weed. Could it be that the Hermes Guild holds the advantage?”
“The result will be seen from the fighting. Out of the two sides, the Hermes Guild is expected to win.”
