Chapter 137
The news related to the national team has not stopped for the past few days.
Even though there was excitement over Sung JiHan's joining and the outstanding performance during practice.
But on that night, the incident of Ha YuRi being assaulted broke out, and the national team began to face public criticism as if it had always been that way.
-Yoon JungHyun, that crazy bastard!! Why did he throw our YuRi?
-Is Sung JiHan crazy? Why did he invite celebrities to a welcome party?
At first, there was public criticism of Sung JiHan, thinking that he was involved in the incident.
-No, no. Sung JiHan didn't go. It was the automatic door guys who did it, lol.
-I saw interviews with celebrities, and they said Sung JiHan was coming soon and got him drunk. But he was playing games on Battle.net all this time, lol.
-Those automatic door guys... even their character is ruined...
Since many people saw him playing games on Battle.net during that time, the public criticism of Sung JiHan quickly disappeared.
And when Coach No YoungJun sent all the first-team warriors away because of this incident, public opinion was divided.
-Those automatic door guys got lucky. How long are they going to keep them around, lol?
-But isn't it going too far to cut all the first-team players? We just need to kick out the guy who caused the accident.
-Ha YeonJoo said she would leave if not everyone is cut, saying she will go with the archers.
-Well, then there's nothing we can do. The archers are the only ones who managed to recruit people, yeah.
-But what about the Russia match without the warriors?
-We'll just lose like usual, lol.
-National team matches are not just simple sports. It's a matter of national importance that could create a dungeon. But to exclude all the first-team players because of a simple mistake by a player... Isn't the coach crazy? The players should be brought back immediately!
└Is that you, JungHyun?
"Ah, fuck. Yoon JungHyun is in that damn prison."
Kim DongWoo, who was kicked out of the national team, cursed instead of leaving a reply.
What the hell is going on because of Yoon JungHyun?
"Hae YeonJoo is really shameless. Even if Yoon JungHyun kicks her out, what did we do wrong?"
"He treated his younger brother terribly. Ha YuRi became a top star at lightning speed because Hae YeonJoo pushed her since she was unknown."
Lee YoonGi, who came to Kim DongWoo's house, set up the drinks and sat on the sofa.
"Then just cut the second-team guys. Oh, did Sung JiHan say to cut all the first-team players? That bastard is the worst."
Kim Dongwoo cursed while looking at the face of Sung JiHan on TV.
But still, he prepared grandly for the welcome party.
How can he tell us to leave?
I thought we would get along well since we are brothers, but it felt like a betrayal.
"So, yeah. It's a second-rate development, but they want us to do it without us."
"When will the girls arrive?"
"They will be here soon. They'll probably drink while watching the Russia match."
Just a few days ago, they were the Korean national team, but now they wished for Korea's defeat more than anyone else.
They should realize the emptiness we feel.
At that moment.
Beep beep-
"Oh, they're here."
Four women entered Kim Dongwoo's house.
"Oppa! They said the national team got cut? Can we still drink like this?"
"It's noisy. Let's open some liquor."
"Sung JiHan is so cool!"
When a woman saw Sung JiHan being interviewed on TV and exclaimed, Kim Dongwoo frowned.
"If you're going to praise that bastard, go out again. Fuck..."
"Why?"
"He told us to leave."
"Huh... really? No, how can we fight without you guys?"
"That's what I'm saying... that crazy bastard. So we're here to watch the match."
"Heh~ But he seemed really confident in the interview."
"Jihan oppa has always been confident."
"When did you see him, oppa?"
Ignoring the giggling among the women, Kim Dongwoo watched Sung JiHan's interview on TV.
=Sung JiHan, there was an unfortunate incident with the national team this time. The lineup has changed significantly. How do you think the chemistry will be?
-Yes. That's correct. And the result will be the same.
=The same...?
-Yes. Winning 3:0 is the same.
=Oh...!
Sung JiHan, without changing his expression, is confident that he will win 3:0.
Kim DongWoo, upon seeing that, felt a chill down his spine.
"What's with the 3:0? We should be the ones winning 0:3 to wake up."
All the first-string warriors are gone, how is that possible?
He anxiously waits for the game to start and drinks heavily.
* * *
The atmosphere was festive due to the scandal that occurred in the Korean national team.
"They say they cut all the first-string warriors? They caused an accident before the game."
"I can't understand this last-place topic. Shouldn't they just cut the one who caused the accident?"
"They won't win anyway, so they're trying to show some spirit, right?"
The Russian warriors were already in high spirits, thinking they had already won the game.
"Don't let your guard down. Sung JiHan is still there."
The leader of the Russian warriors, Vladimir Gorskikh, warned his warriors, but...
"What can that guy do? He's just a gold-level player."
"That's right. He was babbling about winning 3:0 in an interview, but now it's time to show his true colors."
They already thought they had won the game.
[The Northeast Asia League begins.]
[The first game is at South Gate.]
The game starts.
"Divine Blessing."
"Absolute Shield."
The warriors, buffed by the support, formed their formations.
While the Korean national team formed a turtle formation, the Russian warriors gathered in a triangular formation.
At the forefront of the triangular formation stood Vladimir.
=Vladimir, the 'Berserker,' is at the forefront.
Vladimir, who possesses the SS-grade gift 'Rampage.'
Rampage is a simple gift that greatly increases stats for a certain period of time, with a particular focus on attack power.
=Ranked 6th among warriors, he is considered to be even more powerful in terms of attack power.
=The buffs of the triangular formation are concentrated on the vanguard, so they will show considerable destructive power...
One of the formations of the warriors, the triangular formation.
Also known as the wedge formation, this formation concentrates formation buffs on the vanguard.
The goal of Russia was to further enhance Vladimir, who possesses Rampage, and disrupt the opponent's formation with explosive attack power.
"Let's go! For our homeland!"
"Uraaaaa!"
Led by Vladimir, who wields a giant axe, the Russian warriors charge forward.
"Target Eliya first!"
Hayanju, the leader of the archers in the Korean national team on the wall, designates the weakest target among the warriors and orders a concentrated attack, but...
The other Russian position players also actively supported the firepower, not just idling around.
Boom! Boom!
Korea, pouring firepower from the top of the wall, and Russia, responding from below.
Magic explodes from all directions, and the debuff and defense magic used by the supporters clash chaotically.
A fierce long-range firepower battle between the two positions.
"Ugh...!"
"I'll go first!"
In the early stages, Korea had the advantage.
The firepower of the Korean national team was stronger than Russia's, and some of Russia's warriors fell while breaking through the enemy's interference.
However, Hayanju's expression was dark.
"Only three...?"
Before penetrating into the castle, they had to take down as many enemy warriors as possible, but the speed of Russia's charge with the triangular formation exceeded imagination.
Despite the concentrated sniping, the weakest three warriors from Russia were still defeated.
"Even if we penetrate inside the castle walls, there will be no way to snipe anymore...!"
Southgate Map.
There are generally two ways to win on this map.
The first is a long-range positional battle to determine the outcome.
The attacking warriors focus on protecting their long-range dealers rather than entering the castle walls.
They engage in long-range attacks and count the number of player deaths.
In such battles, the main character of the game becomes the long-range dealer.
This situation occurs when the levels of the warriors between the two camps are similar.
However.
"Russia. They think they will definitely win when warriors fight each other...."
The second winning formula is to break through the warrior line guarding the castle walls.
This was a quite risky tactic.
The number of warriors is the same on both sides, and the warriors guarding the castle walls can receive support from the wall above.
Of course, the attacking team also receives firepower support from the rear, but compared to shooting directly from the wall above, they were inevitably weaker.
If the warriors guarding the castle walls held on for a little longer, the attacking warriors would be in danger of collapsing.
Therefore, unless there was a significant difference in the level of the warriors, everyone preferred the first winning method.
Russia charging like that means they consider the Korean representative team's warriors to be below their level.
And Ha Yeon-joo also thought that way.
"No matter how impressive Sung JiHan was during practice... it's different in a real battle. We'll be pierced when we face each other. We have to take down at least one more before we get pierced!"
"The next target is Sergey! Aim for his blue armor!"
"Yes!"
A barrage of concentrated shots began with Ha Yeon-joo's first shot.
The Korean representative team's patented concentrated shooting.
The archers who could definitely cut off one person at a time were definitely the biggest advantage of weak Korea.
Thud! Thud!
As a result, two more warriors fell before the Russian warrior line reached the castle gate.
"Captain, five people have died!"
"The efficiency of the triangular formation has dropped to 180 percent!"
"It's okay, that's enough! We can fight five against Korea!"
Vladimir, the middle-aged warrior, smirked.
His disheveled face and swollen muscles showed that he had already entered a frenzy.
"Blood Rage!"
With his shield raised, he threw himself towards the enemy line, swinging his blood-stained, large axe.
Kwaaang!
Then, the line of the Korean representative team, which had formed a formation, exploded in an instant.
"Weak!"
Are these national representatives unable to withstand even a single blow?
So weak.
To expel first-string warriors with such an incident?
Vladimir laughed mockingly and swung his axe horizontally.
Chwaaak!
In an instant, the bodies of the enemy warriors were cut into pieces like wood chips, and five of them were killed.
The numbers were now equal.
"Hahaha! This is too easy!"
"Where is Sung JiHan?"
The warriors following Vladimir laughed cruelly and slaughtered the Korean representative team.
"It's so easy to break through the defense line... Why did these bastards come out?"
They said they were forming a defense line, but is it okay to be easily broken like this?
However, when Vladimir heard the term "defense line," he twitched his eyebrows.
"A defense line...?"
Is this the defense line?
Although they formed a defense line by holding their shields against each other, the personnel arrangement was strange.
To form a proper formation, the numbers must be arranged to fit into a square, right?
Strangely, there were many warriors in the first row.
But after that, the number of warriors gradually decreased.
It's like...
"...an inverted triangular formation?"
An inverted triangular formation.
If Vladimir is the top vertex of the triangle...
The 1st formation of Korea, which is being slaughtered right now, is the bottom line.
Then, the vertex of Korea.
The one who receives all the buffs from this peculiar formation is...
"You've come."
As the Korean national team fell apart, Sung JiHan's figure began to appear.
He was smiling happily, receiving the buffs from the inverted triangular formation at the back.
* * *
The Korean national team has been reorganized into the 2nd team.
As weak as the 1st team was, their level was pathetic.
-The efficiency of the formation... It's not even 150 percent.
-As expected, there is an inevitable difference between the 1st and 2nd teams.
No matter how much Sung JiHan improves the efficiency of the formation, if the other 29 members can't support it, there will be an insurmountable gap with the 1st team.
-And everyone is below level 225.
-If it continues like this, I don't know if we can withstand Vladimir's attack.
Vladimir, known to have the most powerful attack power among the other warriors except for those who are on a completely different level like the Sword King.
If he uses frenzy and swings his axe, how long can the low-level 2nd team warriors hold on?
The coaching staff was gloomy, unable to find an answer.
At that moment.
-Why don't we try this?
After watching these results, Sung JiHan proposed giving up on the formation.
Instead, he suggested the inverted triangular formation.
A charge formation that strengthens the vanguard player, which is completely unsuitable for the current situation where they need to defend.
But considering the significant difference in levels, it might be better to focus everything on Sung JiHan.
-Why don't you stand in the front and block?
-No. I'll stay at the back.
-At the back... But if all the warriors in front fall, the buff effect will disappear.
-No. I think I can handle it alone.
Even in the midst of the formation collapsing and being slaughtered.
Although the efficiency of the inverted triangular formation may decrease, it was still providing a buff effect of up to 110 percent.
And.
-Taking advantage of the enemy's scattered formation, I will aim for a single strike.
-Can it be done with a single strike?
-Let's see.
As the Korean national team fell apart, the Russian warriors thought the game was already over and started rushing to score kill points.
As a result, the formation collapsed in an instant.
Seeing that, Sung JiHan raised his spear.
"Let's begin."
At the same time, an intense aura began to emanate from Sung JiHan.
"What is this power...!"
Surprised by the extraordinary aura, Vladimir hesitated for a moment.
"Foolish...! What can you do alone!"
As if denying his own surprise, he shot towards Sung JiHan like a cannonball.
In an instant, the distance closed.
"Blood Rage!"
Vladimir's blood-red axe exuded a powerful aura as if it would tear Sung JiHan apart.
But Sung JiHan calmly unleashed his unused third skill.
