We splendidly managed to secure our base from the opponent's attack. Well, it was half—umm, mostly due to the surprise elent.
Obstacles were just another tool that would give you the advantage depending on how you could put them in use. Just like now, we weren't particularly waiting here to ambush them, however it appeared so from their perspective, all thanks to obstacles.
What seed to be a glum situation with ‹Eden› outnumbered by our opponent with nearly double our numbers was sorted out in an, well, unexpected way. A coincidence, but not a rare one.
This was one of the ups and downs about the field changing from a vast but suspenseless to a full of surprise. This was the trial to overco, to take everything into account and show you would deal with them. It was especially a PvP favorable ground with the 'Chance Encounter' previous fields were missing.
Such variations were what made guild battles amusing. Besides, the opponent's reaction was another novel thing about guild battle in reality. It was impossible to expect 'kyaa, ambush' or 'stop and retreat' reaction from opponent AI in the ga.
Anyway, now that we had taken down one of our opponents from, supposedly, ambush, they shouldn't be jumping into the frying pan once again for the ti being. Considering the chaos that had erupted, maybe they returned to base to recover? I guess that counts as a jackpot amidst quirky twists, huh? What a blessing. Except, certain people didn't share the sa feelings.
"‹Healing Prayer›! ‹Heal›! There you go, Rika, Lulu. And Zephyr—heal by yourself." (Lana)
"Bop." (Lulu)
"Seriously serious. You're sotis too much, Zephyr."
Of course. Who could else it be if not Lana? The pampered princess. I had called them to back up us when they're racking points one after another and all that they saw was the deserted place, enemies being fled away. And as a result, she has been spewing out flas since a while. Though if I have to say my piece, she looked adorable with her squirrel-like puffed cheeks.
Uh-huh, this also ans she didn't heal . What a tough life. Alright, that was hoke. She had just used low-grade and mid-grade healing spells which were now in cooldown, so she only has high-grade spells left but that would be a waste for a damage as much as scratch that I sustained. So my ‹Aura Heal› was enough for that...probably.
I was healing myself when soone approached . She was Sierra. Shizu, Pala and Ester were on guard in other directions. She and Lana were moving in a group, so she was waiting for Lana to finish healing everyone.
"What's our next plan, Zephyr? Shall we mount a counterattack?"
"I'm in. That's our chance, Zephyr. Let's parade on!"
"Huh?......Hold on, just focus on small castle points for now. It was by luck we managed to force the opponent to retreat."
Lana imdiately jumped on Sierra's proposal but I turned it down after a mont of consideration. Opponents might be restless from the retreat so this was indeed a chance for payback—a tooth for a tooth, eh?
Speaking about it, Revenge was sothing missing from the ga. For A never back down.
If anything, however, we didn't have any advantage in taking down the base. There's a never ending stream of opponents with the ‹Loser's Revival› at play. Besides, we're already at the lead and snatching back whatever two red Big Castle they got weren't a ga changer for us. So we might as well focus on more efficiency that doesn't require us to go out and fight.
"Understood. We're off to the east then."
Sierra replied hearing my reasoning.
"You're really insufferable, Zephyr! Fine, but make sure to call us if sothing happens. I will definitely be a part next ti!"
"Yeah. Be careful."
Sierra, leaving behind what their next destination will be, and Lana, after showing her discontentnt, left for the east. The way she threw her temper was cute. And I guess Sierra telling about the east ans 'you know where to find us.' It seed like she was also disappointed to miss the chance.
With them departing, we, Team A, also made our way to the west.
We moved in vigilantly, since I wasn't sure if the opponent was just feigning to retreat and bidding a chance to make a counterattack. Well, it ended as unfounded worry to say the least.
We didn't see them, so they really seed to have retreated to base for now to heal. And they might also be on guard for our counter, as Sierra had proposed.
Either way, we were in clear from further movent by the opponent for ti being, so I inford the sa thing to Ester and the group guarding west and returned back to farming the points.
We sneaked our way and discreetly glanced at the opponent's base from the blind angle of the audience seat.
"Hn, ‹So-nya›! No enemy detected."
"Great work, Karua. So, it seems like they're worried about counterattack huh? Putting up a guard and all."
"That's also what I think so, Rika. Alright, now is our chance to snatch all the squares in the south while they're still on their toes. Be discreet, understand?"
"Hn, got it."
Well, this adds Rika too, who shared the sa thought as . We turned around to the opposite of the audience stand and taking advantage of the opponent's vigilance that tied their action, we started racking points.
Karua and I moved to the south while Rika and other mbers mainly prioritized the small squares around the white team base.
After several minutes, opponents were finally on their base, ready to capture the small castles—which was destined to never happen. The moat between us had widened to the point any normal strategy would be a losing bet for them.
They should have sensed that as well as they gave up on scrapping on leftover small castles and showed signs for a second raid on our base. Given the ti, the knocked out person should still be out there in the loser's room. So the raid this ti consisted of only six mbers. Their gait showed their cautiousness as they made their way from the west this ti. As to be expected of our seniors, once bitten twice shy huh.
Karua and I, once again, noticed their plan a step ahead and I had Karua contact Lana and others in the south, while I joined in with other team A mbers and prepared for invasion.
Sa strategy, sa developnt. But I just hope things don't pan out the sa way.
We trailed along the obstacles to hide ourselves and waited for the opponent to erge from the north—an ambush, this ti it was.
"‹Glacieus›!"
"We already expected it!"
"Not this ti! Everyone, fan out!"
"Understood, sub-guildmaster! Payback ti!|
It's a pity our opponent had already learned the lesson so we couldn't thin them out. But that said, our role this ti was to earn the ti...definitely. Absolutely.
Both parties launched their attacks near the audience stand's corner, with our team stalling the opponent through defense or hit-and-run tactic while waiting for reinforcent. And soon after, they were there.
"Good work holding out! ‹Guardian Dog's Blessing›! ‹Sacred Demon's Protection›! My turn—‹Sacred Shining Sabre›!" (T/N - Shining saber of sacred light›Sacred Shining Sabre›)
Lana, finally arriving at the right timing, swiftly caused offense and magic buff and slamd down her one of the strongest offense attacks.
"Crap! Dodge, everyone!"
"No way—!?"
However, our opponents easily evaded the shining attack. I an it was literally a hugely huge sword. Perhaps it was their instinct as swordsn, our opponent imdiately deed it dangerous. I expected nothing from our seniors.
But there was just one unlucky person who got struck square on. It was the sa person who had been sent off to the loser’s room.
"I have arrived to help—guaaahhhh!?"
"Guildmaster!?"
She must have straight rushed off to here imdiately after being revived at the base. However, that person had just jumped from the corner of the audience stand, about to join her comrades when Lana's attack ca swooping down. Maybe this person has gotten up from the wrong side of bed today.
If that wasn't enough——
"Alive still? I also have many more! ‹Rise of the Sacred Tree›! ‹Light Pillar›! ‹Light Blade›!"
"Hol—gaahhh! Can you—guuuhhh! Help m—nooooo!"
"Guildmaster is down again!?"
The persistent attacks from Lana gave no room for the unlucky soul to escape and was dispatched to the ‹Loser's Room›. This should be traumatizing enough.
Even her comrades were in apparent shock. I an, they were so shocked that they forgot in which situation they were, forgetting to put the defense in.
Lana, with her hand on her forehead, was the only one pepped enough to say 'one nuisance down.' Apparently, she was referring to the wicked aura she felt from her opponent which I ca to know later. No, what the heck was I supposed to make out with just 'wicked aura'...... whatever, now was our chance.
"A buffet of attacks now, everyone!!"
"Haaa!"
Lulu was the quickest one to respond to my cry,
"Rats! We're retreating now, everyone!"
"Back down, now!"
"Wh—, hold on for !"
Seeing that their lineup was unable to hold on, ‹Flash of Flower› scurried away for retreat, once again. I think I heard other mbers calling that person—who pulled the shot to retreat—sub-guildmaster. So she's the leader I guess? (She's not)
