# 148
148. What was lost and what was gained (2)
The entire square began to tremble.
It was a phenomenon when the facility was built. I crossed my arms and waited for completion.
After a while,
[Tactical post is completed! The ‘Tactics’ tab is open.]
[Master, you can use tactics from now on!]
[Tips/Tactics can be used in a limited way within missions.]
[※Notice!] [ About tactics
] [About tactics]
[About tactics] Touch ‘Tactics’ to activate. You can give the hero a specific signal.]
[You can use it freely at the beginning of the mission, and a penalty will be added when the mission starts in earnest. Use limited opportunities prudently. As the level of the tactical post increases, more diverse functions are added.]
I looked to the right side of my sight.
There is a new facility in the space-time gap of Amkena’s operation screen waiting room.
A small table and a map in a small room. It was a tactic.
Amkena was looking at the help.
It will be difficult to understand at once. Because it’s pretty complicated.
‘I don’t know how.’
Tactics, if used in the right place at the right time, can be a divine move that determines the clearing of a mission.
But it’s a story when it was well written. There are only a few masters who can properly use tactics throughout the entire pick me up.
‘Can I catch the flow of battle or not?’
how the mission is going Where is the risk and what is needed.
If you can’t figure this out, you’re just a pearl in a pig’s neck. I was lucky if I didn’t blow up the party.
Of course, most of the masters do not catch the pulse of the mission because it is their daily life to stare blankly at the screen. The trend these days is to leave the strategy center behind and entrust the strategy to the hero.
I recalled the situation on the 35th floor.
One party fought the boss underwater while the other party was blocking a wave of monsters on the boat. In the meantime, an accident happened.
At the time, Edith was not conducting properly. The hero’s field of vision is limited compared to the master’s, so he must have been busy blocking the monster in front of him.
If there had been a tactical post then, if I had been the Master at the time, the situation would have been different.
Once the mission begins in earnest, tactics are severely limited.
At most, it’s about raising an arrow or showing a sign to gather.
However, if only the evacuation signal had been given, the sacrifice would have been greatly reduced.
‘…If only I had realized earlier.’
maybe something has changed
I might not have lost.
I was going to shoulder all of the missions by myself.
‘I was able to retrieve the airship quickly.’
Then Iolkar…
“….”
I shook my head.
already done. It was a waste of time.
[A tactician. You made something useless! Are you trying to get in the way?]
Isel grumbled while looking at the screen.
It seemed that Amkena’s behavior was not to his liking.
“Why? You said you would do it yourself.”
[Master only looks at it from above. What do you know about the scene?]
“I did too.”
[Loki is different. You can’t use tactics other than Loki. If a pike bird follows a stork, its crotch will be torn. If you leave it to Loki, he’ll break it on its own…]
“Sorry, but I’ve changed my mind a bit.”
[…Huh?]
I got up from my chair.
I left the private training room, leaving Isel, who was staring blankly at me, alone.
Kang! Can-can!
In the middle of the arena, Belquist and Nerissa were mixing swords.
Both sides don’t care even though their bodies are bleeding. It was a fight that could be called a real fight. I glanced and came out to the square.
The door to the tactical post was installed to the left of the space-time gap.
I went down the stairs and entered the facility. A white map is placed on a round table. I sat down on a chair in front of the table.
‘Let’s see your skills.’
I snapped my fingers.
[Master ‘Han(★★★)’ proposes a mock battle. Do you accept it?]
[Yes / No]
Mock battle.
It was a kind of mini-game that opened when the tactical post was installed.
two players. Divided into hero and monster formations, respectively, to play. The mission and flow are similar, and tactical abilities were checked and trained through mock battles.
[Yes (optional) / No]
After thinking for a while, Amkena touched ‘Yes’.
[Bara bam!]
[Let’s start a mock battle!]
[Type – 1 VS 1: Confrontation with AI]
‘Artificial intelligence?’
I prepared for the game with a bitter smile.
[Now Loading…]
[Building the map.]
The map on the table has changed.
A square mock-up field was created, and a black horse and a white horse sprung up on either side.
‘The black horse is the monster, the white horse is the hero.’
The rules are simple.
The monster side needs to destroy the base and the hero side needs to protect it.
But basically, monsters and heroes are moved by artificial intelligence. All players can do is a strategy before the game starts and a few cues after.
[Field configuration complete!]
[The master is ‘Hero’.]
[The mock battle will begin in a moment. Get ready!]
[60 seconds until the game starts!]
The map on the table is complete.
I felt like playing here.
A red pen and a blue pen are placed next to the map. It was a tactical tool.
I checked the map.
The center is the center. There is an object on the left.
The monster formation seems to start at the bottom of the field.
Unlike when I was a master, it was analog, but it was a familiar way.
Since it was the first edition, I decided to write basic tactics.
It is also very easy to respond. Divide the troops in half and put them into objects and bases. I cut the black horse on the map into two halves and circled it to draw an arrow. It is to determine the direction of movement of personnel.
‘It’s profound if you dig into it again.’
The field type is random.
The effect of the object was also random.
Each person was divided into three occupations, and their abilities were also different.
Because there are so many variables and each class and formation strategy is biting and biting, there were quite a few pick me up masters who only digging into mock battles all the time.
‘Know it as an honor.’
You’ll be the only one receiving 1v1 training from the first champion of the International Mock Match League.
I smiled and started arranging the words.
[The game will start in 10 seconds.]
[Get ready!]
The deployment is over.
I let go and waited for the start.
[Start the game!]
Knocked up.
The black horse on the map swayed and began to move on its own.
The horses shaped like monsters went as I instructed.
And after 10 minutes,
the first game was over.
‘Hmm.’
This is pretty amazing.
I set up the next game.
This time I decided to change my strategy.
All in.
The object gives up and puts all troops into the base.
It is a gambling strategy, but it is easy to be caught off guard by an opponent who rolls his head well.
‘…’
Another 10 minutes passed.
I set up the next game.
This time around, we decided to change our strategy.
[Game over!]
Then the results came out.
I crossed my arms and looked to the right.
Amkena was looking to break through the victory or defeat window of the mock battle.
Three rounds of mock battles.
This guy is
‘truly enormous…’
It’s a crap.
“…That’s great.”
first edition.
Amkena did not budge from the stronghold.
I easily occupied the object and used the buff to break through the base’s defense wall.
second edition.
Amkena mobilized all troops as objects.
It didn’t even take 30 seconds. I entered Amkena’s stronghold bloodlessly.
third edition.
In this game…
‘I didn’t do anything.’
I let go of my hand and looked.
The game was left to artificial intelligence.
Still, Amkena lost.
‘This bastard… what is it?’
It was amazing.
Innate game sense.
It was the first time a master was worse than automatic progression.
I didn’t even use any complicated techniques. It’s just a practice game anyway. At first glance, he chose and used only strategies that would allow him to immediately know how to break the law.
‘Did you put doll eyes in the head?’
If you’ve watched the mission video dozens of times, you’ll get a feel for it.
I clicked my tongue and folded the map.
[So what did I say!]
Isel, who appeared round and round, snorted.
[You seem to be good at racing games. On the other hand, stupid! After all, Loki has to be in charge of the mission.]
“…Haa.”
I sighed.
It was an unexpected difficulty.
Meanwhile, Amkenna was waiting on the main screen.
The state of not doing anything. It was like waiting for me to propose the next game.
After 5 minutes, Amkena moved the control panel.
[I propose a mock battle to ‘Han(★★★)’.]
Issel looked at me blankly.
I shook my head.
[‘Han(★★★)’ declined the mock battle!]
Amkenna closed the rejection window and touched it again.
[‘Han (★★★)’ proposes a mock battle.]
‘….’
[‘Han (★★★)’ refused the mock battle!]
Amkena, who was worried, moved again.
[Gift Shop!]
[Purchase the ‘Warring Horse Statue’ with 5000 gold.]
[Give the ‘Warring Horse Statue’ to ‘Han(★★★)’ as a gift!]
Pyeong.
A statue of a war horse appeared on the table.
Do you think you’re going to fall for such a shallow number?
‘I’ll just play one game.’
I put the statue into my bosom and snapped my fingers.
[Bara Bam!]
[Start a mock battle!]
[Type – 1 VS 1: Confrontation with AI]
And
[Give the ‘war horse statue’ to ‘Han (★★★)’]
[Bara Bam!]
[Mock battle….]
[‘Warring horse statue’ to ‘Han(★★★)’…]
[Parabam!]
[‘Warring horse statue’…]
Numerous warhorse statues lined up on the table. there is.
ten swarms.
[This is a bit harsh…]
Issel scratched his cheek.
Isel had been criticizing the master until the third edition, but after the seventh edition, he began to sympathize. They even cheered for me to win only one round.
Amkena was waiting at the control panel.
After losing 10 times, he did not even try again.
[Are you sure you want to terminate the master connection?]
[Yes (optional) / No]
[Then, goodbye!]
Amkena, which had been quiet for a while, disconnected.
Isel said with her chin on her chin.
[What is the problem? Because I don’t have any talent?]
“That’s right.”
thirteenth edition.
I retrace Amkena’s play history.
Once there is a will to learn.
I tried again while consuming gold.
The minimum conditions were fulfilled. However, the results did not follow.
‘It’s strange.’
Even if it’s a doll’s eyes, if you watch the mission video like that, you’ll realize something.
But when I played against Amkena, I felt like I was sticking with a rookie.
“Isel.”
[Huh?]
“The mission videos uploaded by the Master. Show me one more time.”
Issel blinked, but he followed along.
The Mew Tube video from the 5th floor to the 30th floor was played quickly in front of his eyes.
[How is Loki? Do you think you understand?]
I closed the window. “This
bastard
is…”
[Yeah yeah.]
“Only I see it.”
I turned the screen up to the 10th floor and looked at other party members.
But from the 15th floor, the focus was on me. It only changed briefly when an important object appeared. The focus of the master, who had to retrace the flow of the entire mission, was directed only to me. The timing of taking the screenshot was like lightning. I had been watching it from the beginning, so I couldn’t miss
it
. Except for me ,
the members were cold food.
At most, I looked back at the members of the 1st party from time to time
.
Amkena had a bad habit.
However, there were also mistakes on my part that I hadn’t figured out in advance.
I looked up.
The dark sky. Amkena’s feelings were somehow conveyed.
The result didn’t come out, so I became sullen.
‘Help’ Did you want to become this?’
I might have felt something while looking at the 35th floor.
I laughed and sat down on the chair.
“Issel, can I ask you one more time? I want to use the Internet.”
[Internet?]
“I want to send some mail.”
I took out a notepad from my pocket and started writing down words.
It is a detailed explanation of the battle flow from the 5th floor to the 30th floor. If you compare it with the documentation, it’s easy to understand even if you have udon noodles in your brain. I
don’t want much right now.
When I can’t take care of the party. When the whole raid is in crisis.
If you have the ability to help just once. ‘You can pretend to be a channel subscriber.
‘
Well, even if I had no talent, I was going to drag it by force. If
ten times didn’t work, I would inject a hundred times.
If that didn’t work, I would inject a thousand times
. Until I got
hit in the head.
It was something I had to do anyway, so
I wrote a note on the notepad with a smile.
