"Herz, what do you think about stopping here for a little while before leaving again?"
Hearing Fiolan's words, Herz momentarily thought about it before nodding.
"Can we? Everyone is tired and I think we will need some treatment time. ”
Herz, who was pushing past the high snow all the way to his waist, turned around and shouted.
“We will rest for an hour here! Anyone who needs to be healed, heal and take the time to get ready again individually! ”
“We will rest here for an hour! Anyone who needs to, should heal and reassemble individually! "
Just like the guilds that were in the top 5% on the Korean servers, the Lotus guild gathered an expedition as soon as a new update occurred and explored the northern continent.
Expedition level range around lv 90.
When the expedition started, they gained many levels, so in the case of Fiolan, he was already 93 years old.
"Who's on duty this time?"
"I . ”
"You don't know what's going to happen, so don't loosen your guards!"
"Yes, Mr. Sub-Group!"
Their levels were not low, but because after passing the Crupia Snow Mountain, they would only face monsters that were over 90 years old, so they had to always be vigilant and move accordingly.
In the case of Ice Ogre, it was a monster close to level 100 that appeared occasionally.
"Ha. ”
After Fiolan checked the guard on duty, he sat down comfortably.
The reason for periodic breaks and having treatment time is also for safe exploration.
Herz, who made enough room to sit down after pushing the snow away, fell next to Fiolan.
“North Continent, it must be hard. ”
Hearing Fiolan's words, Herz nodded.
"Not kidding . Nonetheless, this difficulty level is predictable, so .. We gained a lot as well. ”
"Religion . ”
On this expedition, everyone in the Lotus guild expedition as a whole leveled up 2-3 and obtained quite a number of good items.
However, the biggest advantage is not that part.
On this expedition, the Lotus guild achieved results that could not be compared to any item or level.
“Luckily we came on this expedition. Thanks to that, now our guild has a guild base it has. ”
Hearing Fiolan's words, Herz nodded and agreed.
"Religion . ”
In Kailran, after the guild was over 50, they received the right to claim the territory the guild owned.
There were two ways for the guild to gain territory, the first way was that they had to invade the territory that the guild or another NPC controlled and take it from them, and another way is that they have to go to undeveloped land that has not been stepped on by anyone else and occupy that base.
Prior to this update, no guild had any territory in Kailran. Even the guild that was renowned as a rank 1 guild, the 'Dark Luna' guild, obtained their first headquarters after the northern continent opened this update.
Simple reason.
There was no more land left in the southern continent.
Most of the land in the southern continent, where the users were active since the game first opened, was already imperial territory, already, and places that were not imperial territories were owned by small or medium-sized states or noble NPCs .
But to take NPC territory, the strength of the user was still too weak in comparison.
The Lotus Union was no different from other top-ranked guilds.
Ever since they first planned the northern expedition, they planned to occupy at least one base and they succeeded.
Since the user base was still a barren land in the north, there had yet to be any great benefits.
However, if they were to grow it slowly, it could eventually become a big city, where they could collect taxes from the users and NPCs living there.
Herz murmuring.
"Now, whether we can safely defend the base is important …"
If the base was owned by the guild for the first time, for three months, they automatically signed a non-aggression pact.
If the base was owned by the guild for the first time, the non-aggression pact would automatically be signed for three months.
It was the protection received from the gaming system.
The guild group needed to develop the base they had obtained this time as quickly as possible and within 3 months, making it strong enough from a region, so it could not be attacked easily.
“We have to take care of it. For the next 3 months, I think we need to gather the strength of the guild members and focus only on developing the base. ”
Hearing Fiolan's words, Herz nodded.
It was not like the growth of guild members would stop just because they were only working on developing the base.
Instead, in the process of developing undeveloped lands and expanding areas of influence, they could level up and have a good chance of obtaining good items.
“It looks like we are lucky, because we found a large enough scale base, so I think we will be able to save our expenses for the initial stage. ”
In simple terms, a base is a city without owners.
The larger the city found it and the more people, it was clear that the initial expenditure would be saved.
"I want to occupy one more place ... but it's just greed, right?"
Hearing Fiolan's words, Herz smiled bitterly.
“I would also like to do that, if it is for my heart, but when trying to focus on two bases at the same time, it is, we won't be able to prepare enough at both locations and can finally get both taken by other guilds. Let's just focus on one place. ”
“Yes, those are just the words I'm trying to say. ”
Guilds contesting the ranks such as the 'Dark Luna' guild or the 'Titan' guild had already occupied more than three to four bases in good locations.
However, this was only possible because they were the guilds that truly had the best strength, and to the Lotus guild, it was impossible.
Herz took out a cup of hot coffee from his inventory and took a sip.
“As soon as this expedition is completed, let's call all our guild members to headquarters. Let's also hunt around the base. ”
There were plenty of monsters in the level range that were a little overwhelming, but they had to take that risk.
In order to grow the base quickly, the most important thing was that they suppressed the nearby monsters and expanded the territory.
“Other than one person, most likely everyone will be able to come. ”
Hearing Herz's words, Fiolan had a strange expression.
"One person? Who?"
Herz grinned.
"What do you mean who else, it's Ian. Ian needed to hunt on the southern continent a little more and raise his level before rising. ”
However, Fiolan grinned and shook his head.
"Herz, do you know?"
"Yes?"
“They should probably be here in the northern continent around now? I guess he'll be at the Snow Mountain of Crupia. ”
Herz's voice, which was shocked, grew louder.
"Huh?"
Fiolan laughed as he continued.
“A moment ago, I received a message and he asked me some information about the northern continent. ”
"What information?"
“She said she was going to hunt in Snow Mountain Crupia, so she took all the information I had in the area. ”
"What level is he now?"
“I myself don't know for sure. ”
"Ha .. He's my friend but he's a really unusual guy. It had not been long since he had started raising Familiar, how could he crawl to a hunting ground that was around 50-60 lv? "
The Ian Herz knew was not someone careless.
If he said he would hunt, it would definitely mean he could hunt there.
"Well, if Ian grows up fast, doesn't that mean it'll be better for us?"
Herz could only laugh with a bitter expression.
"Well .. is that right, I guess?"
@
While Herz and Fiolan were talking about Ian, he was doing a risky hunt, as if he was on a leash, at the Snow Mountain of Crupia.
"Ddukdae, Ice Wave!"
Thu-Thu-Thu-Thu-Thud!
As Ddukdae stomped his feet with all his might, waves of blue ice spread around him.
Ice trolls suffered 175 damage.
For 10 seconds, the movement of the Ice Troll would slow down by 30%.
"I'll attack from the front, Ly, you attack from behind!"
While Bbookbbook watches the game (?), a fierce battle centered around Ian is taking place.
Grr Grr-r!
As Ly jumped into the air and moved behind the Ice Troll, Ian quickly dug out the side of the Troll.
The 'Weak Point Capturing' skill has been used. The weak point of the target will be shown with an accuracy rate of 19% increase and the chance to critically achieve an increase of 23. 5%. If a weak point is hit, avoidance will increase by 97%.
Along with invoking passive Weak Point Capturing, the Troll's weak point was highlighted in red before Ian's eyes.
And Ian's right hand equipped with a knuckle quickly rushed towards the Troll's weak point.
Bam- Ba-Bam-!
You've given 276 damage to the 'Ice Troll'.
You've given 293 damage to the 'Ice Troll'.
You have inflicted critical damage on the 'Ice Troll'.
The vitality of the Ice Troll had been reduced by 585.
Ian's attacks happened one after another and there was no reason for Ly to miss the opportunity when the Ice Trolls snapped.
Ly bit off the back of the Troll's neck, and the Vitality Troll dropped nearly 2000 in an instant.
'Ice Troll' uses the 'Body Regeneration' skill'.
For 40 seconds, the 'Ice Troll' will recover 1% Vitality per second.
Ian frowned.
He had worked hard to defeat him and drop all his Vitality, but now he was trying to recover.
Roobar!
The Ice Troll let out a horrifying scream and swung the giant stick it was holding.
The club that swung with power rushed towards Ian quickly.
At this rate, it was a situation where he would receive a direct hit …
Back then, Ian gave away the skills he had in mind.
"Space Distortion!"
Space Distortion, the special Summoner skill that he learned along with the Familiar Skill Grant when he reached level 30, was summoned.
With these skills that allow you to switch positions with the Familiar of your choice, Ian switched positions with Ddukdae.
Wh-bang!
And the Troll club was blocked by Ddukdae's right arm.
Wh-bang!
The familiar 'Ddukdae' had received 1375 damage from the 'Ice Troll'.
Ddukdae was a defensive-type monster, but after receiving attacks from Ice Trolls that were over 60 lv, he received an incredible amount of damage that reached over 1000 at a time.
"We have to catch him before he recovers, no matter what!"
As Ddukdae blocked the Ice Troll's attack, Ian, who moved to the back of the Ice Troll thanks for swapping places with Ddukdae, immediately dug into his back and pushed the knuckle into the Troll's weak spot.
You have inflicted critical damage on the 'Ice Troll'.
The vitality of the Ice Troll has been reduced by 596.
And continuing, the system message that Ian had always anticipated appeared.
'Knuckle Steel AncientSummoner's' invoke the 'Response' skill'.
Familiar 'Berserk' skills will be borrowed.
For a moment, waves emitting red light began to spread from around Ian's body.
Over the course of 15 minutes, your Attack Power and Agility will increase by 30%.
For 15 minutes, your Defense Power will be reduced by 30%.
Ian felt a power overflow in his body. However, along with that, the risk also grows.
'In the current situation, I could die even if I let one blow from him. '
Ian's nervous.
Even without it, he experienced several times being on the verge of death if he was hit once or twice.
With his current defense reduced by 30%, if he was hit by it now, he might be able to die in one strike.
Ian increasingly focused his mind and dodged the Troll attack that occurred afterward. And with monsters like Trolls, which have great movement when attacking, it is important to properly attack the gaps that develop after they attack.
'Now too…!'
Ian focused his mind as much as possible.
He thought that if he could propose another critical one at his weak point, he could kill him.
There was also an effect where his Attack Power had also increased by 30% for 5 seconds if he could bring up criticism while in Berserk state.
And Ian could experience the right hand technique.
Pa-s-s-s-well!
You have inflicted critical damage on the 'Ice Troll'.
The vitality of the Ice Troll had been reduced by 876.
Since you have inflicted critical damage on the 'Ice Troll', your Attack Power will also increase for 5 seconds!
Ian's fists, which were getting stronger, nested in the Troll's weak points one after another.
The vitality of the Ice Troll has been reduced by 621.
The vitality of the Ice Troll has been reduced by 1388.
And Ly attacked the Troll, who was on the verge of death, from behind, finishing him off.
You've killed an Ice Troll. You have gained 1060 EXP.
