Chapter 413 - Showdown at sight!
The montum of guild battle had now shifted from laying out our groundwork to keeping the advantage up.
Our plan was simple---to take down as many squares as possible. Though it was far from over to let our guards down lest all our groundwork be dead down in the water.
Would we be able to hold on to our Big Castle advantage, or our opponent turn the table by initiating PvP battles or snatching the Big Castles. There was no telling what may lead to what.
Well, not that purposely needs to increase the moat between with the advantage we hold. That's why, it was the basic---the squares---we focused on.
The area of Small castle squares was as worth as one Big Castle. So depending on the scenario, like each team having three Big Castles on their side each, they were as well be the deciding factory of the match.
Can't take our sight from small fries just because we have big fish in our net, huh? And most of all, this type of field with even Big Castles actually amplified the values of small castles even more.
Long story short, lead was unshakable as long as we focus on small castles, even if just for appearance sake.
"Alright, we're going to take a look at the opponent's handling and start capturing the squares. And like planned, the tag team of Karua and mine will be in charge of the west. You three---Lulu, Celia and Rika---focus on the stronghold from being taken down, and try to capture the small castles around the central region at your pace."
"Roger! Lulu will protect it to the very end!"
"Understood." (Celia)
"Very well. I shall make sure no one breaches our base."
Responding to my instructions as soon as I inford others of the next step right after scoring , the trio made a beeline for our base while circumventing around the audience stand, oriented toward east.
This way, team A was now further divided into two sub-team. Karua and I backtracked the path we had covered, down to the south and taking down squares along the way.
We weren't going to waste our breath fighting opponents considering house , was set up precisely for that. PvP battles were kind of like rituals never to be ignored in the exam.
I explained all that to Rika.
"Oh, so the remaining three people are left to guard their bases huh." (Rika)
"You bet. But targeting our base instead of small castles, even if a gambit as it is, isn't a bad move if this helps them turn the tide on their side. They're very serious." (Zephyr)
"Fumu. Sounds motivating. Oops, they're here. I will take the lead." (Rika)
I was just telling Rika the opponent's intent when the sa people appeared from the corner of the audience stand. They were seven, just as confird.
Five of them were wearing kimono-like equipnt, presumably front-liners. The rest two; one seed to be a support and the other magician? Well, that ans we know who to take down first then.
"Celia, you're in charge of rearguard."
"Understood."
"Lulu, to the front line along with us! No risky move, alright? We're outnumbered to do that!"
"Okay!"
We're currently at a disadvantage here with 4 versus 7. This ans we would have to drag the fight until Sierra and others are here.
Our sudden appearance, that we were just waiting for them, created a wave of surprise among the mbers of . This was our chance---duke at the first sight!
"Slam down whatever ya have! ! ! !"
"Haaa! ‹Shogun's Burst›! ‹Fla Slash›! ‹Lightning Slash›! ‹Ice Strike›! ‹Flash Point›! ‹Dark Swipe›"
"‹Ancient Spirit Art›! ‹Advent of the Great Spirit›! Grant your strength, ‹Glacieus›!
"Hope---! ! ! ! !"
"Huh-? H-Hold on---guh!?"
"Guildmaster!? In just few attack!? ! H-Hey, aren't you guys a too heavy handed!"
"! ------Shiiiiiit!? It didn't even last a second!"
"! ! ! ! Tsk, I can't budget them a bit! My moves aren't enough!"
"A-A freaking ambush!? ! ! Eek, help-help!"
"Guildmaster is done for! Ack, back down. I repeat back down!"
"Ergency retreat!"
Chaos erupted as we hit 'em with our usual attack the second they showed up from the corner—screams and shouts taking over the whole place.
I almost felt like shouting at the scene that went beyond expected. I had planned for a hit-and-run tactic---launch our valleys of attack and retreat---but it turned out that the one to retreat in this chaos was our opponent.
Sothing's funny here. I was sure as hell we hadn't had anything of sort in the ga.
Whether it was rose or glum, the clash had taken place at the corner of the audience stand---blind spot for both parties with no one capable of seeing each other. It was a blasting surprise for both sides.
The only thing that set us apart was we were anticipating them, while opponents were in the dark about intention. Their order collapsed in a mont from the sudden attack. One of them, leader apparently, even ended up knocked out by Lulu's headbutt and then showered by the colorful blasts of attack that directly cut her ticker to
