Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter]

“We are recruiting members! Someone who will be with us throughout the war!”

“I’m a level 140 Healer! I have a lot of raid experience, so please take me with you oppas!”

“Here!”

“Come here!”

“Healer, come with us! An acquaintance of my cousin’s cousin in our raid team is a tanker!”

“Maru Guild is recruiting guild members! We are planning to create 3 raid teams! Please support us! Applicants must be level 150 or higher~”

“Ah, damn…… What kind of forge does this town have? Where do you repair weapons?”

“If you go out the south gate and go to the field camp, it’s there. It’s a bit pricey but they do a good job.”

Although it was only a village, it was a place where a warp gate was installed.

Although it was smaller than a city, it’s size is still quite large. However, Leeha’s vision was only filled with people right now.

‘These people……. Were there really this many people in Middle Earth?’

The hunting grounds and the town square of the capital would not be able to compare. It was the largest even in a game with over 100 million subscribers, therefore, there should be a lot of concurrent viewers.

“This place is already at war. Ahh.”

Leeha walked toward the south gate. He had to go to the field camp to receive the detailed war-related quest, and he was told the location just in time.

‘There are still plenty of potions and scrolls given by Ram Hwajeong.’

He also had sufficient ammunition.

He put it in a bag and tested it to the effect that it did not have any effect on weight. He currently had 50 magazines, for a total of 250 bullets.

‘And there are still 150 more bullets in the warehouse.’

He had enough empty space. He was ready to eat any drop items!

‘The problem is, how many chances do I get to eat? ‘

He had so many competitors and he was a sniper. He had to keep in mind the possibility that he could spend money and get any dropped items.

‘Still, could I make up for it with the contribution reward? It it’s money-’

Tak-!

After thinking for a while, someone grabbed Leeha’s shoulder, who was moving in between people.

“Hmm? This cold feeling-”

A cold-blooded hand grabbed him. Leeha turned his head around to see a friendly face.

“Kiskis, what are you thinking so hard about? You can’t even hear me when I was calling you.”

“Biyemi-nim! Are you joining this war too?”

“This isn’t something that can missed.”

He was a player who put his growth first above all. Besides, Biyemi, the strongest assassin in the past, who had already been apart of the top 10.

Just the fact that he appeared here made Leeha feel good. Because, it meant that what he could get from this war was more than he could ever even imagine.

“Have you been well?”

“Kiskis. Of course. Thanks to…”

“Thanks to?”

“Huh, haven’t you heard it yet? Haven’t you seen this?”

“Come to think of it, I haven’t seen that cloak?!”

Biyemi, who had only worn protective gears at the level of cover, wore a cloak for some reason. As he turned around and showed the pattern drawn on the cloak, Leeha’s mouth opened.

Three yellow stars on a blue background was a well-known guild mark.

“Byeolcho! W-when-”

“After the last Royal Palace quest, I joined. Kiskis, Halihali-nim’s younger brother was more amazing than I thought? He is so much better than me in leading a party, it puts my past self to shame.”

Biyemi met Kijeong and Tale a few times after Shin Nara’s quest to protect the king.

Up to a certain level, he was able to do crazy leveling alone, but Biyemi, who saw the limitations of a magician, wanted to party with someone he could trust. In addition, the people who he could play with him at a similar level and could be trusted were limited.

In other words, the fact that Biyemi joined Byeolcho meant that even if he had a party with Kijeong and Tale, who had reached level 220, he could still share experience points.

Leeha also understood from Biyemi’s words.

“Wow……. Kijeong is actually good. No, but that guy, something like this happened and he didn’t-”

“Hey, I was going to tell you today, hyung.”

“It’s been a while, Leeha-kun.”

“Kijeong-ah! Tale-nim!”

In addtion to Kijeong and Tale, there were several users wearing Byeolcho’s cloak. The power brought by Byeolcho was so strong that the nearby users slowly opened the way.

“Is hyung going to join the war as well?”

“Of course. Are you afraid that I would die?”

“Hmm, no, I thought you didn’t like this kind of thing.”

“Is that possible?”

“Hmmm… You didn’t join the war between Hwahong and Byeolcho, right?” Leeha slowly avoided Kijeong’s gaze.

“Are you ready?”

“Let’s go. It’s not like I am playing around.”

Leeha shrugged his shoulder. What kind of image did his cousin show when he showed such confidence? Kijeong suggested to Leeha.

“Hehe, okay. Then hyung, would you like to go with us?”

“What?”

“It doesn’t matter if you join a guild now right? It’s not like it’s dirty or anything.”

“Ah, no, it isn’t like that. It’s not like I am not joining Byeolcho because of Ram Hwayeon, right? Of course…… I owe my life to Ram Hwajeong- but it’s not like that either- I also……

Leeha tried to think of an excuse, but he kept blabbering. In addition, Kijeong, Tale, and Biyemi laughed at the same time.

“Isn’t that the case, Leeha-kung.”

“Kiskis, that’s right. If you join, maybe she won’t leave you alone? If Ram Hwajeong goes all the way- ugh, it’s scary. It was my first time going to an assassination that my left arm and right arm were frozen and stuck together. ”

Biyemi followed up Tale’s words and trembled.

They were definitely close friends after the Royal Palace.

“So, are you going to join or not? We’re going to the field camp now.”

Kijeong grabbed his stomach and laughed before asking Leeha. Is he going to join them? In fact, it was an unnecessary question.

“Well. I won’t be applying for a party. Ah, Kijeong should get some item drops.”

Byeolcho guild’s party is like a gangster.

“Waa……. Nitai is too much.”

“It’s amazing.”

“Wow, guild master-nim, I’m nervous!”

Byeolcho’s guild members were amazed by the spectacular view unfolding in front of them. There were so many people who had not yet found a party in the village. How many people have already partyed and prepared for war?

There was still a long way to the border, but the field camp, where the NPCs, and users mixed, seemed to reach the horizon.

“Now, everyone, walk in line! Be careful not to step on other users or NPCs next to you!”

Kijeong led the Byeolcho guild members as if he was leading kindergarden children.

Users who were maintaining their equipments or checked scrolls and buff potions glanced at Byeolcho’s people.

‘Is that the NPCs’ tent? There’s so many.’

The NPC knights have a different pattern like the users’ guild mark. Just looking at the splendingly embroidered armor, and tents, Fibiel’s victory seemed natural.

After walking for a long time, a huge number of barracks that was located in the center of the camp caught their eyes. And even though they had only went to the vicinity of the barracks, a notification window appeared in front of Byeolcho members.

[Battlefiled – Marching Plains – Platoon 54321]

– Do you accept??

“Get the map quickly and move! You are deployed as the 1st Platoon of the 2nd company, 3rd Battalion, 4th Regiment, 5th Division, the Marching Plains Field Corps! Come on! The 1st company of the 3rd battalion is already ready to charge!”

An NPC came out of the large tent and shouted at Leeha and the crowd.

‘Haha, that’s how they were classified. So this is platoon 54321. It’s good because it’s easy to memorize.’

Unlike the other Byeolcho members, who only nodded, Leeha examined the contents of the quest.

In addition to Kijeong, Tale, and Biyemi, there are a total of 30 elites from Byeolcho. There were 31 people including Leeha, so it was a sufficient number to form a platoon.

“Leeha-hyung, Tale-hyung-”

“Accept it, Kijeong-ah. We should bandwagon for now.”

“Alright, lets do this Kay.”

Kijeong looked slightly excited about hearing of the ‘real war’. The moment Kijeong clicked accept, after hearing Leeha and Tale’s words, the 31 people who formed a party were given a quest.

“Then what do we do now?”

“Shoud we go to the border first? The 1st company is already gone.”

“No, shouldn’t we divide the team first? Just like in the guild battle!”

“Everyone, please pay attention!”

Kijeong arranged the guild members that were intoxicated with excitement. Ttok, what he had gathered were the elite of the elite. Everyone paid heed to the guild master’s call.

“We have already had a guild battle, that’s even with a bunch of bullies. If you’re doing the quest given in this war, it’s actually easier. Let’s calmly move.”

OHhhhh!

Hearing the guild members’ shouts, Kijeong nodded.

-What should I do now, hyung?

-What, weren’t you confident?

-J-just. First of all, I am not that confident. The last war was led by Hyein-nim, no, Hyein and Sasuke. I know about raid and hunting, but war….

“Did you get the map?”

“Yes.”

-Bring it. Let’s see.

shwaak, the map unfolded. There were hills that squadron 54321 should occupy, and other dizzying signs were lined up.

“W-what is this?”

“Good.”

“Huh?”

Platoon 54321 consist of 31 members and was part of the army scattered in Fibiel. It was part of the cluster with no name and no characteristics. However, it was different from other platoons with 30-40 members that were grouped from different parties with 5 to 10 members.

“Very good. Can you see the boxes lined up in front of the hill? That’s the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd reginment, and the 1st and 2nd battalions belong to our regiment……they are already fighting here. It’s the members of the 1st company from our 3rd battalion who made their way through the forest by turning to the right. Do you see them trying to make a surprise attack by completely bypassing the front lines of the hill? I am a little disappointed by some of the marks, but this is a great map.”

“H…Hyung?”

“Kiskis, as expected. Halihali-nim knows how to read a map too.”

More importantly, there were two people who could read the map.

“Biyemi-nim can read it too?”

“It’s not much different from the markings in the assassination orders given by the Midnight Circus. There were a lot of important characters and notes.”

“Good for you. There must be at least one person who can see from the front. Then first…… Let’s go look for the 1st company too.”

“Aren’t we supposed to go quickly, hyung?”

Kijeong was rather uneasy at Leeha’s relaxed remarks. However, Leeha had his own thoughts.

“There is a hill over here. And this forest that appears to obscure the way to the hill……. Imagine that Minis had a map like this too. If it were you, would you leave this blank?”

“Oh? T-that- no?”

“That’s right. But if you look at the plan now, there’s no enemy unit mark on that side. It meas that it hasn’t caught our sight yet……. If that’s the case, I think it’s more of a bait. Of course, if our 1st company is stronger than Minis had expected, we will be able to breakthrough…”

Leeha looked at the operation diagram. Troops moving in the forest were visible in real time. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th platoons of the 1st company rapidly ascended with a certain interval.

‘If you go to the end of the forest, go up to the 1’oclock direction on the hill. It’s definitely far from the existing wires. If you turn 7o’clock there and increase the speed, you can reach the hill. However……’

Minis would know that there was a weakness. Leeha looked at the mark of the 1st company, which was moving slowly, with anxious eyes.

“Give me a buff! Buff me!”

“Strength!”

“Enchant Armor!”

“Phew, run when I give the signal! They don’t even care about us at all! Cover!?”

“Ready! I can shoot up to 3 multiple shots! However, it’s so far away that I won’t be able to reach it.”

“You don’t have to hit! Just distract the magicians somehow. By the time they notice us, we will already be close!”

Behind the grove of the trees, which was embarassing to even call a forest, the 1st squadron members were holding their breath. It wasn’t a war with flying guns, but it was more than that in terms of bloodshed.

“Run, run!”

Waaaak-!

The dealer and tanks grabbed their shields and ran out of their cover. That’s all they could cover anyway. Now they know that the enemy will be able to see them too.

“I-I got it! The magician is over ther-!”

“Now! Shoot now!”

“Multiple shots!”
