Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]

Vol. 9 - Chapter 436 - We're losing? Let's aim for a comeback!

Luck was often one of the prominent factors pushing the victory in the guild battles in the game .

The one getting to raid the Big Castle first often reap the whole benefit. But at the same time, it's always a hodgepodge of situations when both teams are attacking together. In that situation, whoever managed to lend the last one attack gets all.

Not sure if you will get the last hit? Fret not, just leave it to luck!

Well, this was actually what made interesting. Practice brings strength, and through that, one could brute force there way as well. However when tactic, firepower and luck met each other, the whirlpool of uncertainty turned to make the tide of battle even more exciting. I mean, otherwise how could we expect the spirit in a game, right?

Like now, we were obviously strong, but white team managed to snatch the victory through luck. Ah, this is the brilliance I live and die for.

But of course, one could bring that luck down to nothing by twisting the situation with their strength. When luck doesn't favour the loser, then just surpass it! It was when one got hold of the abstract concept of luck---perhaps, visible only to heaven and god---that they took a leap to a greater height.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))

This exquisite beauty of a balance was the striking part of . It was like a head-turner enchantress, pulling in me and alike connoisseur of balance to a rabbit-hole that we could never extract ourselves. Not that any of us wanted to leave either, since it was just that interesting. Man, it was truly a masterpiece.

Ahem, my monologue dragged a bit, but my point should be clear by now. We may have lost the lead but this was hardly any spirit crushing matter.

I glanced at the screen above and confirmed the current score.

E.T.A - 26 minutes and 31 seconds

was obviously at the lead by bagging and . On the other hand, only had and was on the losing front.

Our opponent didn't waste any breath and all of them had immediately chased after me and Pamela, who decided to target west. It was an overwhelming difference between our numbers, 2vs8.

I would spare the obvious. The slipped out of our hands as well! Uh-huh, the old saying 'strength is in number!' was actually not wrong.

Pamela and I were the first ones to reach , however we couldn't overcome the number difference. It wasn't exactly uncommon in the game.

We tried to take advantage of the gap in their attack timing as well, but they completely went 'brrr' as soon as the HP of the castle had reduced to 20%. It was a complete failure. I actually lost! Ah, this was the thrill that had entrapped me in its allure! This was why I was Romeo and my Juliet!

Fumu, that said, the pinch called for counterattack. Just you wait, team white! Except that we couldn't take any extreme measures like PvP battles. Ah, what a tough world it is! There were only a few ways we could do it.

"Alright guys, I will explain our next course of action. I will explain it on the way."

The group of Sierra, Rika and Misato swiftly left for direction as soon as my words ended. I waved them off.

Except for Misato, they've plenty of experience. So they should be able to execute the plan. Well, well, things have started to heat up!

“Let's go, west is for us to take down, Pamela. We're taking a detour from here.”

“Alright-desu!”

With that, the gears began to move forward for .

The first node in this plan was team Sierra, who has been entrusted with .

Sierra and team first cleared all the squares leading to north from the central region and then launched their offensive at .

Taking down a big castle awards 2000P, surer, but it wouldn't lower our opponent's score at all. Simply scoring points won't cut it out unless we make a comeback. Also, it would be a useless endeavour if the opponent took it down once again.

So trying to take down with only just 20 something remaining minutes must have been an incomprehensible plan for .

Our opponents were surprised seeing Sierra's team launching an offensive on the Big Castle, but they still moved in to stop her and gathered at the . It seems like they have gathered to hold a strategic meeting. Oh, nice move.

If the opponent’s plan seems incomprehensible, then just gather everyone's input. Well, that was hardly an option available in the game, but now an important aspect in reality.

In the meanwhile, Pamela and I took a detour from north-south to reach .

The members of , who hadn't wanted to get caught up in PvP, swiftly backed down towards the lower south, near their base.

We both pretend to chase after a bit. It was just a meaningless action if you need to ask so, a pretty trick to stop them from entering our squares range.

Our target was to put up a smock screen around to stop them from sniffing out our plan. We left our footprints here and there in the west while working on to create routes for our strategy nearby west, east, north and central region.

The layout was like a messy board of Othello—like haphazardly placed white and black pieces here and there, creating a disordered map. If they want to take down the squares, they would have to navigate through this maze-like map. It would be great if it did manage to befuddle afterwards, even if a bit.

Tap-tap-tap~

The time flowed without paying heed to anything while we paid our arrangement for the come back. And soon, we entered the late phase of the game with 10 minutes remaining.
