Outside of the city:
“It’s the appointed time. Everyone get into your positions and follow the plan.”
“It’s a slaughter. It’s time for a slaughter~!”
“Kill everyone and spread the name of Embinyu!”
“All hail Embinyu! All hail Embinyu!”
“Fire the catapults!”
An army of over 325,000 appeared from behind the hills south of the kingdom and started to march toward the southern gate of the capital. Its ranks were filled to the brim with shaman, dark paladins, paladins, wizards, warlocks, dark priests, priests, assassins, and also numerous warriors on horseback. All at once 4 boulders each the size of a bed flew into the sky and made a loud *BOOM* as they crashed into various locations on the Citadel.
“Begin reloading and adjust the angle 5 degrees up.”
Everyone inside of the Citadel began to receive a message.
-Ttring!
Embinyu denomination has begun its assault on the capital of Rosenheim kingdom, Serabourg. Serabourg siege has occurred. Teleportation stations will now forcibly closed and long distance teleports are now restricted.
In the hunting grounds near the south gate was a small group of players grinding foxes. One appeared to be the leader of the party, a warrior named Joey, the healer and debuffer was a shaman called Cain, along with a female archer called Alice.
Alice: “What in the world? A siege??”
Cain: “This can’t be for real. Maybe it’s just a prank by a GM?”
Joey: “Must be. Hey, you guys wanna try hunting some wolves next? I hear they give good exp.”
The novices and various players at the hunting grounds were skeptical about this sudden turn of events. Most of them had joined only recently so they were still at most level 13 and knew next to nothing about large scale battles like wars or raids. They stood there in disbelief for several seconds and then resumed hunting the monsters around them for a while before they heard a loud BOOM from the city.
“What was that!?” As the warrior turned his head in the direction of the crash he saw them. From the corner of his eye he could see a immense army of people dressed in black heading towards them from over the mountain range.
He assembled his makeshift group of hunters as quickly as he could and began dragging his teammates back into the castle. In the distance he could see another group hunting some a pack of fire wolfs and one more party coming out from the gate. Joey screamed at the top of his lungs “Danger! Get back inside! Not safe! I repeat, not safe!! Ahhhhh!!!” as he sprinted toward the walls his top speed.
Some of the players didn’t understand at first and called it a stupid prank at first but they soon came to realize the danger when they saw what looked like a massive black wave coming in from behind him.
Every player in the hunting grounds began to run straight toward the gate at a break neck pace.
“Argh…we even left the drop items behind…”
“Blueheart...err...Guild leader, what do we do?!!”
The guild leader took one more look over her shoulder and immediately replied “Run faster!!” as she left her companions in the dust.
“Seal all of the gates and protect your positions! Don’t let anyone of those bastards enter the Serabourg!”
“For his majesty!!” roared one of the Royal Knights as he raised his sword toward the sky
A heated fight broke out between the defending Rosenheim knights and the attacking Embinyu denomination.
“Aim…fire!”
“Target the mages in the back. The mages!”
“What’re you waiting for?! An invitation? Hurry and pour the hot tar on those paladins before they break through the gate!”
Rosenheim archers and crossbowmen focused on taking down the enemy mages who were aiming for the gate but the row of paladins continued to protect them with their armor and shields. Meanwhile, the dark paladins had charged the gate and begun hitting it with a huge battering ram. The only thing that was keeping the gate from crumbling were the mages and priests who were casting barriers around the entrance. But the barriers were fading fast because of the onslaught and their mana wasn’t infinite.
“Bring down the gate! Bring it down!”
“All shall bow to Embinyu!”
******************************************
The citizens and users inside of Serabourg fell into panic. An army of over 300,000 was waging war on them and all of their gear indicated that all of them were level 300 if not more. The enemy had broken off into two separate groups; 275,000 attacked the gate while the remaining 50,000 targeted the capital with ranged spells, arrows, rocks fired from the catapult, and spear sized arrows from their ballistae. It was only a matter of time before the citadels walls and gate crumbled to their attacks. But the most fearsome thing about those from the embinyu denomination was that they didn’t fear death. They swarmed the walls and kept banging on the gates with their fists. None of them seemed to care if they lost a limb or had to climb over the bodies of their dead brothers. They just kept screaming “All of you will die!” and “Embinyu shall rule all!” as they pounded upon the citiy. Moreover, If you did not convert to embinyu denomination then you would be killed on the spot and lose a large majority of your items and experience.
Rosenheim had buffed up its army since the last attack by hiring mercenaries as well as Priests from the church of Freya, and Paladins from Lou’s church but it was all for naught since at most they were still only 40,000 strong. They couldn’t possibly stop 325,000 soldiers on their own.
All around one could hear people muttering “It’s over”, “We can’t possibly make it out this time”, “Why is this happening to me…” and some had even went as far as banging their heads against the walls to suicide, so that they’d lose less exp/items.
Weed and Seoyoon had been making their way to the Central Plaza when they received a pm from one of their friends.
-Oiii, Harn where the heck are you? We’re finally at Serabourg. Is this thing working??
-Eh? Master? Weren’t you still at Mora? How did you get all the way to central continent?!?
-Ahh that. By running of course! And it’s not just me; all of the other students came here as well.
-huff huff, master please slow down….we just made it through a desert…
-Bah, looks like you guys still need more training. So Harn, where exactly are you? I want to go to that dance thing as well!
Harn was dumbfounded. The distance between Mora and Serabourg were some hundred thousand miles away from one another.
-Helloooooo?? Bah, geomchi 16 you try contacting him I think this private microwave thing is broken.
-Master, it’s a group chat, an extension of private messaging that lets multiple people talk to one another. It’s quite popular nowadays; even Libby and I use it to chat from time to time.(Geomchi 16 hooked up with a female priest back during vol 10 :D)
-Don’t worry I’m still here…Anyway, head toward the central plaza and we’ll meet there. I’ve already told the others to go there as well. Oof!!
-Master Weed?! Is everything alright?
-Yes yes I’m fine. Completely fine. I just accidentally ran into someone.
-Hahahha looks like you need more training! Well, see you at Central plaza then.
It’s mainly you’re fault that I ran into someone. Better apologize quickly and go regroup with the others so we can figure out what to do. Seoyoon stopped dead in her tracks after seeing Weed slam head in to an elderly man in a cloak that had just come out from a corner.
Using his warmest tone of voice (Think this might be rather hard for Weed lol) Harn said “My sincerest apologies, I didn’t mean to run into you. The fault lies entirely with me.” Now I just need to accept his apology as well and get out of here.
“Darn right the fault lies with you! Honestly…I can’t believe the youngin these days. Racing around the city like it was their playground. Can’t you pay even a little more mind to the elderly?” asked the man as he removed his hood to reveal his face.
Harn stared blankly at the old man before asking “Master Zahab?! Is that really you? Why are you here?”
“Oh? Why, you’re the man who visited my cottage with that exceptional beauty! Is she with you?” Zahab tilted his head to the side to look past Harn and stare directly at Seoyoon “Hello there young miss! Have you reconsidered letting me make a sculpture of you yet?”
Seoyoon didn’t hesitate to shake her head in response.
“I see.” Said Zahab in an incredibly disheartened voice.
“Master Zahab, why are you in Rosenheim? I thought you were journeying around the world.”
“For a while, yes, but I grew weary of it all. The loneliness became unbearable, and I wanted to reminisce about the old times when it was just myself and Evane. A time when the both of us were still young and nothing mattered but the time we spent together. I’ve already visited our old village and this is the last stop of my journey. I came here in the hope that I’ll be able to finally create a life sized sculpture of her after going over our time together. But unfortunately, I’m at the end of my rope.” Sighed Zahab.
Master Zahab seemed to have aged considerably since their last meeting. No doubt because of his long journey.
“Master Zahab I’m sorry to interrupt you but Serabourg is under siege. I recommend you follow us to the Central plaza where my friends are waiting. We may be able to find a way out of this place yet.” Told Weed as he held out his hand to help the man up.
But Zahab rejected it and stood up on his hand. “I’m not so old that I need protecting. But I will follow you to the Central plaza; it has been a long time since I saw it.”
To Harn’s surprise Zahab was even faster then he and Seoyoon. “It seems he hasn’t lost his step just yet.” Muttered Weed
“Come on! I want to see the fountain before the nights end! ahahaha” said Zahab with a smile as he raced ahead.
It seemed as though everyone inside of the city was at the central plaza. There were merchants trying to make a quick sale on their merchandise because of the danger while others were still trying to barter for protection. Meanwhile, there was a wall of knights were trying to hold back a mob of people from breaking down the castle gates.
“Swords and bows for sale! Only 5 silver each! Buy fast before they sell out!”
“I’ll pay 3000 gold to anyone who helps me and my caravan get to safety! Please, is there anyone willing??”
“Master Weed. Over here.” Whispered someone from Harn’s right. When he peeked through his cloak he saw that it was Surka and the others. Geomchi’s group seemed to be right behind them.
“What’s going on? It seems like all hells broken loose.” Asked Weed in a distraught voice.
“That’s pretty much what’s happening. The Embinyu denomination has cavalry this time so even if we get a head start on our escape it’s only a matter of time before they run us down.
Harn slowly nodded in agreement. Normally it would’ve been possible to escape if one was on horseback but in this scenario there were too few horses. Those going on foot or traveling in wagons would just slow the rest of the group down and the embinyu horsemen who are only carrying their weapon and armor would catch up in no time.
“Then what’s up with the giant mob trying to break into the castle? I don’t remember seeing that last time.”
Surka was about to tell him but stopped short and Pale was forced into telling Weed the harsh truth. He gave a wry smile before saying “They’re trying to get the king to let them use the underground tunnel from before. There’s been no response for the past 15 minutes so they’re now trying to gain entrance by force. It seems that the royal knights gathering behind the gate are getting ready to disperse them by force in a few moments…”
It was Weed’s turn to give a wry smile as he began to calculate all of the choices he had at hand right now. I can’t escape through the gates since we’ll just be caught by them. The only way to break through this many enemies would be to turn into a necromancer again, but that would drastically reduce my reputation again. Additionally, if Rosenheim kingdom falls while I’m here then I’ll be partially responsible and will suffer a penalty since I didn’t help. Not to mention that I’ll be losing my first ally, trading partner, and any possibility of gaining rights over a gold mine…Weed began to rub his temples at this unfair situation.
The mob went into a frenzy as they saw a familiar form approaching from the other side of the gate.
“It’s the king! King!! Help us!”
“Why aren’t you letting us use your escape tunnel?! Do you mean for all of us to die?” cried someone at the back of the mob
The king’s face turned grim as he announced in a heavy tone “I’m afraid that it’s impossible to escape by using the tunnels…The embinyu denomination collapsed all of the secret tunnels when they last invaded Rosenheim, and the current tunnels are not even half way finished yet”
“Wha…? You can’t be serious, right?” murmured a mage as he collapsed to his knees
Tilting his head downward the king said “The enemy has over 20,000 men in their cavalry (horse riders) so escaping will be next to impossible. This is why…. I’m forced to ask everyone to assist me in defending Serabourg…”
One of the knights next to him moved away to set up a booth and then roared in a loud voice “Rosenheim is now accepting mercenaries! Everyone will be fully reimbursed and rewarded at the end of the battle.”
----------------------------------------------
Defending the citadel of Serabourg
The enemy is embinyu denomination who is trying to break into the city. There will be honor and glory for all those who fight for Rosenheim kingdom in this battle.
Compensation: Soldiers will be paid for volunteering to work and will be further rewarded based upon their achievements.
-It’s possible to become a soldier of the kingdom
Quest Limited: If Rosenheim kingdom disappears then compensation will be impossible.
----------------------------------------------
The mob that had been screaming their hearts out was now struck with silence…Who can really blame them when they’re trapped with no hope of escaping? Everyone in the central plaza had begun to fall to despair and hopelessness.
Weed heard a hushed voice from his back so he turned around to see a woman huddling some 10 children close to her. “It’s going to be alright…everything’s going to be just fine. It’ll all be over very soon.” She told the kids as tears streaked down her cheeks.
“Wahhh….I wanna go home! *sniff*”
“I miss papa! I want to see papa!”
The girl could only hold the children closer to her in response. There was nothing she could do to lift their spirits and she cried ever more because of her helplessness in this situation. “It’ll be over soon…”
Harn began to clench his fist in anger and then turned to face his friends who had also been watching this event unfold.
Tilting his head downward “Sorry guys…”
Everyone already knew what he was going to say and was unwilling to reject his choice.
The silence this time was broken by Pale after a large sigh “It’s not like I don’t agree with you. But really, we get dragged into some of the most random situations because of you…”
Weed could only scratch the back of his head in response because this was undoubtedly the truth.
Instead, it was Romune who spoke out to defend Harn. “This is definitely true. But because of that there’s never a dull moment when we’re with Master Weed, plus we get free food heh heh. Besides, weren’t you the one who were the most ecstatic about running to his side when you heard he was trapped on Las Gigolo and before that it was the battle with the undead legion!” shouted Romune in a lecturing tone.
Irene looked toward Surka “Well then, shall we?”
Surka immediately stood up and began to stretch her limbs “Mm why not, here’s to another adventure~! Not to mention we’ll get to eat something nice before the big fight.”
“Master, what should we do?” asked some of the disciples with a confused look on their face
In a confident voice Geomchi told them “Of course we’re going to participate! Real men do not run away from such a fight. We will also help defend Serabourg!” If Serabourg is destroyed then that dance event won’t happen either. Geomchi began imagining some of the girls he had passed by so far in various dresses.
“Um…master you’re drooling. Is something the matter?”
“Ah! I’m perfectly fine. I was just pondering how we would go about our attack.” Replied Geomchi as he quickly wiped off his drool.
“Ha ha, that’s master for you. Well then Libby, shall we register as well?”
A woman dressed in a Divine cloth priest robe stood up and clung to the warriors arm “I’m willing to go anywhere so long as it’s with you.” Said the lady in an amorous voice while closely hugging the rugged arm of geomchi 16.
While everyone was walking toward the registration booth the rest of the martial artists were glaring daggers at the couples who were showing off in front of them.
Raising his arm overhead Geomchi told everyone “Come on men! Let’s sign up and show our strength to everyone!”
“Woooh let’s go!!”
The mob at central plaza had already settled down and dispersed. Most of the guilds had gathered together at the North gate to get ready to flee from the enemy on horseback while the city was destroyed. They felt that at least their guild leaders should escape from this fate. Many of the other players who could not afford to buy a horse had decided stay at the central plaza only to throw insults at those who were registering so that they could somehow feel better and pass the time. Their jaws dropped when they saw a group of over 500 players walking toward the registration booth.
Bewildered at this sight, the thief shook some of his friends “Oi, wake up man. Who are those guys?? It looks like they’re very high level.”
Everyone in Weed’s group were decked out in high class armor that could only be gotten through hunting or from an advanced level 6 blacksmith or tailor and the number of players who had reached such a level in any art related class could be counted with one hand.
The royal knight did not make any attempt to hide how discouraged he was. He only slightly lifted his arm to prepare the documents, not even bothering to look at their armor or face.
“I’d like to have a word with the king.”
The knight waved his hand as if shooing the man away “That’s impossible the king is in a meeting with the generals. Now what is your name and class?”
Somewhat pissed off at the man’s nonchalant nature Harn decided to stop being indirect “My name is Weed and my job is sculptor. I am the lord of Ahreupen kingdom.”
As expected of having such a high reputation. As soon as the knight heard his name the man fell beautifully on his back and had a dumbfounded expression as he examined the man wearing an armor of pure white. Before he could even open his mouth Weed had taken out a badge from his pocket. The badge held the symbol of the empire, a one of a kind object that represented a king’s status (This is kind of made up, but I remember that Weed got some badge from Hermann the mercenary NPC after he purified that embinyu river and destroyed their fortress by unleashing the Hydra. It also gave Weed the option of creating new buildings.) Flabbergasted the knight quickly admitted all Harn and all of his companions into the defense force and ushered him closer to the gate where the King was consulting with various officers.
“Hey did that guy just say he was Weed, the lord of Mora???” asked a thief
“Yeah!! He’s even talking with the king. Just look at their armor and weapons! All of it looks like you’d need to be at least level 400 to equip it. Quick, tell go and tell the guild leader that Weed is in Serabourg!”
“You tell him, I want to stay here and see this for myself.”
-Leader! Leader! Please respond!
-What is it? We’re getting ready to make a break for the Northern continent. I heard that Mora’s a really great place and there’s no way we can win against this army. Well…not unless Weed was here with us…
-Yeah…I still remember how he fought his way through that undead dungeon and faced off against that embinyu boss from before.
-That’s what I’m saying! Weed is here in Serabourg, I can see him right now!!
-WHAT?!??! You’re not lying to me are you?
-Why would I lie about this? He’s right here at Central Plaza, talking with the king himself!!
-…Everyone go toward the Central Plaza! We must support Master Weed!
Word began to spread to the other guilds who were planning to make a break for the northern continent and they all rushed back to sign up for the defense of Serabourg as well.
“Are you sure about this…? I mean…We’re hopelessly outnumbered here…”
“Who cares about that kind of stuff! We’ve got the undefeatable hero Weed on our side! Besides, we weren’t really doing anything on our own anyway. At least this way, we’ll still get to rampage and have some fun kyahahahha.” Said the guild leader while seeming to have the time of her life.
“Looks like someone’s already having the time of their lives…” The girl gave a deep sigh before turning to his guild mates “Sorry guys, looks like sis is set on this…”
Everyone gave a deep sigh as though they knew this was going to happen anyway. “Don’t worry about it blueshadows, we’re somewhat used to this already…”
“Would you like to register for the defense of Serabourg?”
“Yes, but we’re a guild so would that be fine?”
“Absolutely, but you’ll still be rewarded based only on the kills each person makes. What you do with the money and how you split if afterward is your decisions.”
“That’s fine!”
“I’ll be needing your names and for you to show me your stat pages.”
“Okay! Everyone take out your stat pages~!”
A man in a cloak gave one more sigh before accepting his fate “Here goes everything…”

Class: Ninja
Unicorn company actually never made this class but the player was feeling random so he learned, copied, practiced, then integrated several branch and core skills from other classes in order to create the ninja class. This means that the character never outdoes an actual class in terms of stats or skill, but instead makes up for said disadvantage by combining skills and tactics from other classes. Ex: A warrior class has massive strength and can wield weapons such as a broadaxe however his range is limited. Therefore, a ninja class character is weak when going head to head against a warrior class since his strength stat is low, however he can use throwing knives or blowdarts as a secondary weapon. In ways, this is a universal class similar to martial artist or shaman classes.
Classes that were integrated included but are not limited to are: Bard, Chef, Alchemist, warrior, Assassin, Thief, priest, mage, ranger, and monk.

[Job description: The Air wasting stalker (usually refereed to as useless bastards). Is not a legendary class, albeit it is known as a very obscure and mysterious one; this class is famous for it's weird side effects. The players in this profession can never attain fame and keeping the charisma in the positive area is an impossible feat. This job is very unappealing to many, since is completely useless for battle, for earning money and for most practical in-game feats. However the "Air wasting stalker" class provides you the ability of raising levels doing nothing, and enables you the option of sleep when you are sleeping in game, making the skin of their avatar be always smooth.
The ones in this profession tend to have a high level, since they chose it aware of the fact that they are lazy bums. But their level is just for show and it will be reduced if the player accidentally learns an ability due to their high wisdom. This class has only one real benefit to it, which comes when the player decides to use the ability unique to theirs class "Stalkerism" in which they can keep on stalking something even after their HP its 0. and bellow 0. Allowing the player keep up whatever they are doing procrastinating their dead, and then die a thousand times... ]

Job: Professional Housewife
Health: 1100
Mana: 230
Strength: 470
Wisdom: 620
Infamy: 1200
Observation: 1300
Magic resistance: none
Job Description: The professional housewife is a the bane of all working men, part-time working children and procrastinators! They will usually form alliances with other housewives, influencing the decision of the whole district!
Skills:
- Bring-home-the-bacon: The professional housewife is able to force quests on those around her. The target of this skill will receive a temporary boost in stats, come from the extra motivation. But beware, failure or delay of the quest will cause temporary mental damage to the target, with a temporary stat decrease that's more severe the longer the quest had dragged on. After several failures, permanent stat decreases are possible. Often akin to a form of curse.
- Gossip: When a group of professional housewives gather together, they are able to influence the direction of the entire district! Through the gossip skill, they are able to by themselves increase or decrease the fame or infamy of the target. For this reason, it is often said that you should never get on the bad side of a professional housewife. It is rumoured that once an adventurer angered a housewife by refusing a quest, and subsequently found himself the target of multiple outlandish rumors that are better not mentioned here.
- Nag: The sharp eyes of the professional housewife misses nothing! Through this skill, she is able to point out all the faults of the opponent, causing severe mental damage and stat loss! At advanced levels, the nagging ability is so powerful that even monsters who do not understand human language will whimper and quiver from the incessant stream of insults.
- Pan-handling: Adept in the kitchen, in more ways than one! The housewife is an expert at handling the pot, either for cooking food or beating people into submission. The target becomes more obedient the more this skill is used. Can also be used on pets and other animals. It is rumoured that Weed once came across a professional housewife, who gave him new insight into the art of beating people up.

Here's his history provided by narr himself :)
Natham Alexander (add second english sounding middle name begining with an "R" here) Rojas, age 19 is the man behind the stalking, he is pretty much the reason why the world genius exists. Being extremily gifted allowed him to do whatever he set his mind to almost flawlessly and with ease. After years of strict tutoring paid by his overly exalted parents and not being able to make friends he came to just grow bored of everything, and developed a really aloof personality as a result. he first heard of Royal Road on rhe streets while he was "strolling around", and as he always did with something new, he tried it out. He wasn't really expecting a lot of fun, since everything else bored him too, he didn't have many expectations of the game. The first 4 mandatorial weeks pissed him off so instead of doing quests or getting a class he decided to just wander around the city, where due to many coincidences and events he somehow came to find a ultra ubber secret passage into the castle, there he obviously found the will of Remor Atick Leechenstalk and received the class "screenlight leechtalker", losing a plethora of fame too ( he was actually surprised you could lose fame when you didn't even have any).
After a while he began discovering his abilities and started testing them out for "fun", surprised since he hadn't thought of that word for years, and he was right he was having fun, using his already polished "wandering abilities" he could make his prescence really thin, even to monsters, first experimenting with the basic leeching skills "leeching life" and "shadow stalking", he preferred to do this during the night, while in the day he just enjoyed the sun he didn't have in the real world( he lived in some cloudy state).
One day loitering around he came around weed's sclupture stall and found it interesting--as sculpting was secretly the only thing he has ever failed to do, not that his artistic sense was bad, just that, out of some weird karmic law being good at everything to the point of getting killed by the other people's jealousy needed to be balanced out somehow, so the universe decided to make him suck at sclupting.
As the months passed and he continued to lv up, he came across weed a couple of times, not that he was ever noticed, he saw weed going into the secret crevice in the cave of litvart(kept following weed even after he stopped leeching off the people following him), he came across weed's pary before going to lavias(so he went with them), stumbled upon the orc/elf war.
Growing stronger he kept getting more skills, one of which alloed him to see his "victim's" stat window, that's how he came to know that weed was a LMS and ridiculously strong at that, first he was going to leech off of him but decided not, since he felt a weird akinship towards weed, maybe because they were both secret classes, he saw weed as the sun and he as the shadow.
His skills function in a way that he can literally suck people's stats and skills froma distance, which is why he has such overly inflated stats despite his lv, unfortunately these "passive" skills can't be used while in battle, so he usualy just rests under a tree nearby his victim, and while his prey is painstakingly trying to gaim exp he lessurely zaps it away, reducing his already obscenely low fame even more.
Screenlight Leechtalkers' main weapon are his fists, like some sort of monk(thankfully he leeched off other people's handycraft skill so at vol 6 his is already intermediate 7) he usually doesn't fight head on, but when need arises he was some skills to defend himself.

Level: 212

Life: 12012 Mana: 20120
Strength: 333 Dexterity: 999 Wisdom: 1332 Intellect: 2312
Class: Neuromancer
Has the ability to mentally attack and fully take control of the opponents body. Effectiveness of control and the power of the opponent (50%, 100%, 200%, etc) depends on skill level and intellect while the duration of control is governed by mana levels. Warning: while controlling others, the neuromancer's own body is put into a form of stasis and will be extremely vulnerable to attacks. In addition to mind control, the neuromancer is also capable of creating illusions, inhabiting inanimate objects, implanting thoughts, and even slight (surface thoughts) mind reading. The average Neuromancer is only capable of controlling a single, normal-leveled mob, with higher level Neuromancers being able to control near-boss level enemies or several different lower class enemies. It is said that an Arch Neuromagus has the ability to take over players, take over boss level monsters, and even permanently animate lifeless objects. However, given that nobody has reached such a level, this information is purely hypothetical.
Note: Neuromancers are extremely vulnerable to interruptions and destabilizations of their mental state. Observation: When I encountered Skyrim, League of Legends, or Moonlight Sculptor, 12012 life was lost, strength was increased by 333, dexterity was decreased by 333, wisdom was halved, and intellect encountered a random shifts.
“Alright, all of you are admitted. I wish you all the best of fortune on the field of battle.”
Blueheart turned to her companions and told them “Okay everyone will hunt on their own from here on out.”
“Eh?? Why would we do that? Isn’t it easier to kill them if we’re together?” asked roughstar333 while staring blankly at his guild leader
“Obviously it’s because it wouldn’t be a competition if we all worked together!”
Is this really the time for a competition? We’re about to be killed by an army of madmen…thought all of her teammates.
“The person with the most kills gets to eat Mizura chans first batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies!”
“DEAL!!” replied everyone in unison. Mizura’s cookies could be considered a treasure with an entire village. All of them had been playing for over 6 months now but still couldn’t find any type of food that could be compared to those cookies made with an advanced level 9 cooking skill.
Meanwhile Weed and his friends were talking with the king outside of a small tent near the entrance to the castle. Unfortunately, things looked incredibly grim. The generals were unable to come up with a possible battle strategy that could help win this war, and the knights morale was low since the king was only recently appointed. So any form of counterattack would have to come from Harn and Harn alone.
“Ian, take this hand mirror and go to the mansion of Sage Rodriguez. Tell him that Weed, the lord of Mora summons him. And do not let him have the mirror until he swears to come here to the Central Plaza in person.”
“Sir yes sir!” Ian was unwilling to anger this man who was a personal friend of the king himself. Should he fail in this mission not even Freya herself could save him. So Ian clutched the mirror close to his chest while being careful not to trip over anything.
With this part fulfilled Weed had to somehow raise the knights spirits once more. Even him being there did not serve much in bringing them to life. Wait…bringing to life. That’s it! Weed turned toward Zahab and gave him to objects. It was the engraving knife that had once belonged to Zahab himself and had served to create an innumerable number of masterpieces. The other item was the wooden statue of Queen Evane that he had received from the maid when he finished The Sculptor’s Past quest. “Master Zahab I need for you to carve a sculpture of Queen Evane for me; these items should be of help. It is absolutely necessary for the defense of Serabourg. Engrave everything into this piece of wood. All of the happy memories, the regrets you have, as well as the things that you still want to say to her. If you want to hold her in your arms once more in your arms then you must do this for me.”
Zahab stared blankly at the old sculpture in nostalgia for some seconds. It was the sculpture he had made for Evane when they were still children; when he had promised to give her the most beautiful sculpture in the world. Sliding the engraving knife up and down the sculpture he soon changed the piece into that of a queen with great dignity. Tears began to roll down his cheeks as he continued but his focus did not break, it did not falter the slightest when Rodriguez had arrived and cried out to him. Everyone fell into silence as they watched the Zahab breathe life into the small sculpture once more. “Please come back Evane…There’s so much more I want to say to you. I swear that I’ll never go on anymore adventures if you would just come back. I want to be able to hold you in my arms…to carve beautiful sculptures for you and see that smile just one more time…” Zahab said to himself.
Weed put his hand on the sculpture “That’s enough Zahab. You’ve done everything that I’ve asked and more. Sculpture resurrection! (actually called buhwalsul skills in vol 32 but I don’t know what that translates into so just going with this. The skill costs 3 levels, 45 art stat points, 10 faith, and requires a one month break before it can be cast again.)
A pure white light emanated from the sculpture before enveloping the entire plaza. The light soon receded and wooden sculpture rose into the air several feet before slowly changing into the form of an actual woman.
-------------------------------------------------
-You have used sculpture resurrection
Queen Evane who had helped to create peace within Rosenheim kingdom has returned to Versailles once more. Time limit is 21 hours.
Art stat has been permanently reduced by 45
Faith has been permanently reduced by 10
Your level has been reduced by 3.
-------------------------------------------------
-Sculpture resurrection mastery has been improved
“This is…Rosenheim kingdom is it not? It looks so familiar but there are things I’ve never seen before. Wait this isn’t right…I could’ve sworn that I died after embinyu poisoned me.”
“What? Embinyu denomination was the one who poisoned you? Not Brent kingdom?!” asked Rodriguez in a bewildered tone as he moved toward her.
“Rodriguez?? Is that you? You’ve aged so…Just what in Freya’s name is going on here?”
“I’ll explain personally, your highness.” Replied Weed as he knelt before the queen as if in apology “I am a personal friend and student of Master Zahab and think of Rosenheim kingdom as my own home. Embinyu denomination, the ones who had sent assassins after you and later caused your death by poison, is now attempting to destroy the Citadel of Serabourg and quite possibly all of Rosenheim kingdom. I’ve used a skill that will temporarily bring you back to this world for 21 hours because we need your help now more than ever. This is a selfish and unforgivable act but I beg you to help us once more. Please become our spiritual pillar once more and lead us.” Said Weed solemnly as he motioned his hand in the direction of Zahab and everyone around him.
Queen Evane’s eyes focused solely on Zahab despite the numerous people surrounding her “Zahab…” her expression softened considerably but then her head jerked up as she recalled her surroundings “It is true that Embinyu denomination were the ones who poisoned me. If what you say is true, then Rosenheim kingdom will not just stand idly by as they threaten our homes. We will also fight back and make them regret having ever attacked Rosenheim!!” announced Queen Evane in a brisk voice filled with confidence.
All of the knights proudly roared back in response to Queen Evane’s declaration.
“Hurrahh!! We won’t disappoint you Queen Evane! We’ll also fight!”
“To arms!! We’ll defend Serabourg even if it’s the last thing we do!”
Hmph. Looks like those guys regained their spirit. Weed walked toward Rodriguez and put his arm on his shoulder. “Then Sage Rodriguez and Master Zahab can help act as your bodyguards. I can vouch for their strength and they are all people who hold a history with Rosenheim kingdom.” Weed told Rodriguez in a hushed tone only he could hear “With this, I’ll have returned my favor in full plus interest after defeating the embinyu army outside.”
*********************************************
Queen Evane had begun to organize the knights so that she could finish buffing everyone. Truth be told, Weed was surprised to see that her buffs and healing abilities surpassed even those of Ron Alves, the next in line to be the Pope for the Church of Freya. “Guess she wasn’t queen for nothing. Well then, back to work.” After much time Weed finally managed to get an accurate map of the Citadel of Serabourg from Rodriguez, a map showing all of the underground tunnels inside of the city (Sometimes the king or another person of great importance may be outside of the castle so they need to have various tunnels that allow them to safely get to the other escape tunnels.), as well as a map giving a bird’s eye view of the city and all of its surrounding area. All of the generals and military advisors were dumbfounded when they heard Harn’s battle strategy.
Many of those present strongly objected to his tactics “This is utter madness. I mean…to purposely let the enemy into the city??? This is unheard of!!”
However, Weed was confident in his strategy and was unwilling to budge. “We have no choice at this time. You should know full well that the enemy is at our doorstep and is on the verge of breaking through with their siege weapons. Our only choice is to funnel some of their forces and then seal off the gate with a massive ‘Rivers of Flame’ spell and begin picking them off while they’re separated. Also, I’ll need a force of around 3000 so that I can break through their ranks and take down their catapults and Ballista’s.”
None of the advisors could decline his strategy since Weed stubbornly refused to change his mind. Weed was a valuable ally, a king of the Northern Continent, a Hero, as well as a personal friend of his highness. Moreover, this tactic of luring the enemy into the city while launching your own tactic was the only plausible idea that had been presented so far. Reluctantly, they accepted his plan and began to make preparations for the assault.
“Oh right, I need you to get everything on this list of items for me. Use whatever means necessary to persuade the nearby art guilds to get them for me.” Handing the piece of paper to the advisor he made yet another stupefied expression but decided to comply with the request.
(Note: To help everyone visualize this just get a piece of scratch paper and draw a circle representing Serabourg at the center. Going in a clockwise direction, label the North, East, South, and West. I still remember them because of how my teacher taught me which is Never Eat Soggy Waffles XD. Mora will be at the Northwest, the dungeons Lair of Litvart, Spider Dungeon, and Fafnir's pit are to the west. The Embinyu forces are to the south in the direction of Central Continent. Farther south of them is Miming forest as well as a large mountain known as death mountain which is filled with an countless caves and monsters.)
After about half an hour everyone was assembled at the eastern entrance. There were close to 1800 Rosenheim knights riding on horseback, 250 mages and archers supplied by various guilds, 400 priests from the Church of Freya, 300 sculptors, 300 shamans, and 150 merchant wagons (35 for carrying items, and 110 for helping to carry the archers, mages, priests since it’s hard for them to help unless they’re on somewhat stable ground), 505 martial artists compliments of Geomchi, and last but not least Weed’s friends Pale, Maylon, Mapan, Romune, Irene, and Hwaryung. Making it a force of over 4000.
Irene looks left and right scanning through the crowd “Um…where’s Surka, Hyeon(Weed’s sister), and Zephyr?”
“I needed some fleet footed soldiers to do a job for me to do a job up west. I made sure to send Cerberus(3 headed dog sculpture Weed brought to life in Las Gigolo) with her so she’ll be fine. As for Hyeon and Zephyr, I had them go to the top of the cities bell tower. There, Hyeon can use her abilities to their fullest and record the war while Zephyr acts as her bodyguard. I even took the liberties of giving him some advice before sending them off.” In truth Harn had dragged Zephyr into an alley out of his sister’s sight, lifted him up by his collar and given him a strict warning. If he dared to make a move on her or if she had so much as a scratch upon her body, absolutely nothing would stop him from continuously pulverizing his body for over a month in this world as well as the real world. "Remember...If anything happens to Hyeon I.WILL.END.YOU." Zephyr "*Gulp* Yes sir...." I think I just had my lifespan shortened by several years....
When Weed came into view several of the knights and players present were shaking in fear so he decided to give a speech to help motivate them. After coughing to clear his voice Weed spoke out “As you all know Embinyu denomination is trying to break into Serabourg, our home. I say this to you now. They will not stop and they will not hesitate to destroy everything in their path. They are determined to conquer all of Versailles.” After a slight pause to let them take everything in Weed continued “The only choice is to fight back! Rise up and defend your home, your sanctuary, and strike back at the enemy. I swear to you that not an ounce of your blood will be spilled in vain! So ride out with me to meet the enemy, and we will make them regret having ever attacked to Serabourg!!”
“Wooooooh!! I’ll follow you anywhere Master Weed!” cheered the players
“So cool…”
I can’t let the meat shields get away right before the big fight. Thought Weed to himself.
“Summon Tori!” black smoke spewed out from the ground and then appeared the vampire Tori
“What do you want this time?” asked Tori as he stared menacingly
Looks like someone needs some more training thought Harn. Tori instantly straightened up when he saw Weed take out the saint's staff from his backpack. The staff inflicts blunt damage but it can't kill be able to kill Tori because he has massive health regeneration, instead he'll be forced to suffer massive amounts of head trauma while being unable to die.
"Ah...I mean...What can I do for you great master?" Weed smacked him 400 or so times just to be safe
“Summon a massive fog to cover the exterior of the city and begin use hit and run tactics upon the embinyu denomination’s priests. If their priests are gone then we’ll have a much better shot at winning this fight.”
“It shall be done! Wall of Fog!!” replied Tori in a loud voice since he didn't want to be hit even more. As to be expected of a skill used by a vampire over level 400. The rolled in fast and enveloped the entire embinyu army and served to cover Weed’s army.
Weed took out several miniature sculptures and passed it out to his friends. "Here's the sculptures I promised you guys from when we fought those lizardmen, you guys had better be thankful >: . For Maylon and Pale he gave two Red tailed hawk that when put together would look like they're cuddling :D which gave a +12 dex, Irene got a white dove which symbolized peace that increases the effect of buffs and heals by 12%, Surka received a sparrow sculpture which buffed her agi by 15, Romune was given a Bald Eagle(Was thinking Blue Jay but pick one you like) that increased her intelligence stat by 10), the sculpture that Geomchi's group received was a pack of wolves which increased their vitality by 13(Thing that affects your amount of health and defense), Mapan was given a sculpture of a Pack Mule( was thinking Camel but meh pack mule you can already guess what they're used for) which gave a bonus movement speed of 20% and caused stamina to rise by 15, Hwaryung's sculpture was a Hummingbird that boosted her gracefulness by 7 and attractiveness by 10, lastly Weed gave Seoyoon a phoenix sculpture that buffed her strength by 9. All of the above sculptures gave the usual +15% increase in health and mana regeneration.
Mapan stared at his sculpture for a few seconds then out of curiosity asked Weed"Master Weed, what is your sculpture then?"
"Oh...It's this little guy here. Anivia!(Ice phoenix from League of Legends!!!) increases dex by 5, int by 6, and attractiveness +5" (just compare the buffs from his sculpture to theirs )
"........"(By the way this is the reason why I asked what spirit animal would fit each of those characters, it was to figure out what would work for their sculptures ;p)
After buffing the entire group with his Sword Sharpening, Polishing Armor, cooking skills, ironing leather skills, and sharing the buffs from the miniature sculptures he had given the his friends, they began the attack.
“Move out!! Our counterattack begins now!!!” cried Weed as he led his small force out the gate toward the embinyu army.
"Follow Master Weed!"
