Ch 14 / War With Godenal Guild Part 5

- my thoughts:
He was in a pretty serious situation indeed. His HP was decreasing like flowing waters from fingers. He had less than one tenth of his HP when I moved. In the flint of the second, I started my surprise move. My movement speed was high enough for me to cross the distance between me and them in one second. That shocked them, as Shin movement speed wasn't as fast as I was. They didn't understand, they weren't the only ones here who had developed tacit understanding between themselves. Shin deliberately decreased his moving speed even under the rain of these skills. All this was for just giving me this narrow window. I didn't waste all his efforts. What faced me first were three defenders who were holding their big shields. I wasn't that experienced in the game to identify their classes. When I was about to hit them, I turned around myself to bypass their shield wall. Although they looked veterans, their reactions were slower than me by a fraction of a second. In war, a single mistake meant death. I knew if I attacked them frontally then I would stick here under their shields. I would be like an easy target for those snipers back behind. All I did was to lean to the right heading near the war zone of Shin. This sudden move disturbed their rhythm. They were really newbies like me. The free swordsmen closest to me tried to turn to face me but I didn't give them a chance. I used my stab and triple thrush skills and hit three of them causing a long row of 32, 64,96,36,72 and 108 numbers to appear above their heads. My AC damage was very tyrannical! Although they had healers back there, no one of them suspected my move. Their help came late so these three players lost their lives. This created a fine gap for me to invade deeply towards Shin who was layered by many players. But I didn't do this as everyone suspected. I leaned again to the left and used my high speed to pass the small gap between two teams. What they didn't understand was that these dead three players were the ones responsible for disturbing their organized lines. When I passed through them, I was so generous to lay all the hits I could on them. Although I managed to take two more players' lives, I was hit thrice by skills that made me lose around 32 HP. What lies ahead of me was those five-player team of swordsmen. They looked tense as their moves were somehow stiff and their reaction was rigid. But for the third time in a row, I did what they didn't expect. I didn't go for them but turned again and attacked those swordsmen who were organizing themselves in a five rose tactic. These swordsmen were putting big pressure over Shin who wasn't silent at this time. Although that veteran swordsman was sticking to him trying his best to hit him with every skill he had, but other than him everyone were amateurs. They tried to move and prevent me from hitting those five players. I managed to kill three of them, but suddenly my spear was stopped abruptly with a high pitched sound and strong vibration of my hand. I found that veteran defender was standing with his big body like a mountain. He smirked at me saying: "Enough with your childish play little girl. This is war. The problem you caused yourself goes way above your imagination. You and Shin will die here and no one will save you." His appearance was really a surprise to me. I didn't plan for him to be here. He should be busy with Shin in front. It seemed we weren't the only ones using team chat for orders. I didn't panic, as I learned from the very beginning in my wars that plans were made not to be met, but to be changed. I improvised immediately as I knew that my stop here would doom both of us. "You are right, this is war." You weren't the only war veteran fool. Although he was blocking the sun with his big shield in front of me, this shield was very heavy. His level was similar to me or at level 5 at most. I knew he could attack me at any time, so his pathetic taunting technique was really so direct! When he was ready to receive my attack and push me from the top of the hill with his short blade, I managed to shock him again as I jumped backwards a few steps. Then I turned over my heels and faced the poor players who just arrived behind me in an attempt to surround me. Their eyes carried deep shock and apparent expression of surprise. Once I entered their ranks I didn't stop and used stab and triple thrush skills without stopping. My surprise attack had paralyzed them for a second. Although they were amateurs like me, they overcame their surprise in an admiring way. But it was too late for those 6 swordsmen to block me. Another two of them had fallen under my spear. Once the 4 remaining swordsmen tried to get near me, I turned again over my heels to face that veteran defender and rushed towards him. He was really a war expert as he didn't stop in his place for even a second. What he and that strategist didn't know was that they fell in my trap perfectly. That huge shield of his, which was covered now by a dim layer of blue light after he used one of his skills, was really very heavy. His class supports him to carry this heavy shield by one hand and a short sword by the other. But that meant he added most of his AP to his Strength no doubt. That meant that his HP was low and his Speed was even lower. He couldn't do fine maneuvers in this narrow distance and in this short time. I managed to move past him attacking him rapidly with my spear with my skills. A row of damage appeared over his head, but as a big surprise he didn't die. With my white, yellow and red numbers there were also a row of green numbers. What I suspected was that he had received those mean healers help at the appropriate time. What I didn't know and learned later from Shin was that this class can heal himself. So at this moment, he got the help of his class plus the help of the healers. He was like a tank, swordsman, and healer at the same time. What the hell was this class! Despite my surprise, I didn't stop and laid a couple of hits towards him. If the healers were focusing on him, then Shin would have better opportunity in kitting their numbers down one by one. This technique was what Shin taught me when he edited my plan. He said it was a very useful technique in dealing with strong monsters with high grades. What we both were doing was to kite those 50 players one by one. Although Shin HP was nearing its bottom line when I first attacked, but now his HP was secure little over the half. My intervention helped him to breathe. I said to him in chat while I laid a couple of stabs and thrushes over that poor defender in front of me and those weak swordsmen between me and Shin: "Time for phase two." "Take good care of yourself. I won't be able to help you there. Good luck mate."
