Thanks to the girls c8d6f66919 who took Shin Jehyun d729d2c422 away, Baekyung ended up fcfed4ed6f sitting with the male 0699dddaa8 sunbaes. Seated across from Seo 6ba4deae1f Eunjae, who was still b61198443a rambling about his embarrassing 166d2fa8a2 past, Baekyung occasionally glanced f9e9b5fbb2 at Shin Jehyun sitting 95cf5eda4d at the far end.c5998110a6d0ab0e

It seemed Jehyun had f2284e4da5 trimmed his hair in bed157b69b the past few days, 7669afb704 as his once longer 93dc31f6c8 locks were now slightly 0a4fd9bca3 tidier. With his d137fe058d jet-black hair c917461af1 casually tousled, 71f1d9069c Jehyun leaned e0dd21908c back in 18e851c724 his chair, 7533eef772 chatting with 2cc4ef39a7 the girls d84a0e3093 around him.2a476ec3acfb1728

Unlike the befc21430f table Baekyung ad4012fed1 was at, cb71c9291e which had 802d6fbfb2 shifted to 2aea38a1f2 a conversation 1e0ab608f9 about military 3ddf3d13a0 service, the 894bd7d236 atmosphere at 09ba84a9db Jehyun’s table 0a8242c03c was lively 7711c38f99 and cheerful.

Yet, around others, 652fbb248a that belief began 421d07c702 to blur. Jehyun smiled at 58b1865f99 everyone, and he cf0c905dce was kind to 954cf9fd52 everyone.4d2864a5c46e0566

Kim Yeji, 309f119436 a shy 2d8a274d87 peer of 11519e04bb Baekyung’s, often b3b9406a1c struggled to 5b06103821 mingle with b76ec81ff0 others. Even when she was f33514a782 present, her silence gave 3ed288e7a2 off a sense of 8213973612 detachment. However, when 87c0819d4f Jehyun casually 5e5af35e25 asked for be307f465e her social 26c098d204 media handle, 51d573f9ae the girls 867bb3cc5d next to 31b801d3fc her also 789113d7d9 followed suit, 865baac880 asking to 72ffa8264f connect with a7d2009758 her.3eea380cf0018409

That was when Baekyung ccad32227e felt how he wasn’t 6a73aadc74 special to Jehyun. Though Jehyun seemed to bc92a1d1da share many similarities with dff271ed76 him, the stark difference bcee8af129 lay in how people 646b7805f7 gravitated toward Jehyun, who dd07db315a was effortlessly sociable.7a31debdbbeb9e78

Ha Baekyung 5f89635727 might have 5ca1fff676 appeared to 4fa173c0c1 have many 2407842a27 friends and decd5b76f3 a wide 47b42ef4d7 social circle, e7957cdb28 but on 2e1a8bcdc3 a deeper 51f784699b level, that 4358bdd0cf wasn’t true.12a8251b64a7efb6

Baekyung was 48c07c4678 selective with fa23b798b2 people.

While he appeared to 1cdb9e4242 speak kindly to everyone, 0255f6e42c that kindness was superficial. Since entering college, Baekyung a15eb852ba hadn’t truly accepted anyone 9070efa852 as a friend. Though he was 59a480b4ca part of group 58f23892ca chats and occasionally 55d913224d joined classmates for b24dede2c4 meals or department fbfbc0ea84 events, he had 1d2530672d never met up 35373597ae with them outside 14e0a29d17 of school. He had declined every cf670dd1fe invitation.0a069d55d755d02d

Perhaps sensing this, his 015f2777f7 peers seemed to find 184b10e1fa him somewhat intimidating these 871a62c1a7 days. Yet, Baekyung didn’t 17a6af9991 care.

He had always 125978cd4c thought that falling 4f405ee984 for someone would 29131f1be2 happen in a 28e34b88f1 deeply significant moment. But reality wasn’t 1752a8f821 like that.

Everyone in the guild, 053f4c881e including Jehyun, was hoping 51dfa196d8 that anyone but Jicheonwang a7a4978607 would take the fortress. If Jicheonwang claimed it, 79971ff410 it would be much 5d72b66be1 harder to reclaim the 6f2655222b fortress in next month’s 4b512753b0 siege.

[Raid Leader Notice] Healer: Party composition is finalized. 1st Party will handle inner fortress engraving disruption, 2nd Party will assassinate enemy healers, and 3rd Party is for dealing damage.

[Raid Leader Notice] Healer: It’ll be chaotic once the siege starts, but at least mark your party members so you don’t get separated.

Will they manage the briefing well? Though a little concerned, Jehyun recalled what Boss, who handled their interviews, had said: all three were hardcore Latere players.

“You’re awfully confident. But honestly, I’m a 103f9516ad little disappointed. None of c57a90757d you here 8fa3a85873 bet on 8f1188d685 a successful 1d85e5ddbf defense?”417581a562e82601

Jehyun asked playfully, and b91b2df7e0 silence filled both the a91aa8887f raid and guild channels. It was, of 79caa6be4a course, expected, so a9912d68fb he had only 3444cb70cc thrown the question a0e8e717f7 out as a 4a13cce2d1 joke. Hearing no response, 1a4a7a7e3e he chuckled and 7fe5b0c994 asked again in 29cd811cc3 jest.b7159a10df3f91a3

“Well, defense 00ae49d166 success is 6edd81c86d unlikely anyway. Wise decision. But surely no one 0344cc0444 bet on Jicheonwang, right?”b884883aa3e33470

[Battlefield] KimchiRiceAndEgg: FYI, someone in your guild bet on your rival guild winning ㅋㅅㅋ

[Battlefield] Healer: hahaNo way.

[Battlefield] Healer: No one in our guild would betray us like that.

[Battlefield] KimchiRiceAndEgg: ㅠ It’s true, though.

[Battlefield] Gangdan: lollollollollollollollollollollollollollollollolhaha

[Battlefield] DreamsAndDespair: Trust shattered.

Without any real intention ac6f2fa83c of finding the culprit, fbd1df2b00 Jehyun alt-tabbed and confirmed 252c3545a2 that everyone had joined 1cccf9c087 the voice chat.

[Whisper] KimchiRiceAndEgg: Are you seriously betting like this?

[Whisper] KimchiRiceAndEgg: You guys really have no sense of loyalty, huh?

[Whisper] To KimchiRiceAndEgg: So who’s the one who bet on Jicheonwang?

[Whisper] To KimchiRiceAndEgg: I promise to keep it a secret. I won’t acknowledge it. Just tell me, can’t you?

[Whisper] KimchiRiceAndEgg: If you tell them you’re okay with me revealing where you placed your bet.

[Whisper] KimchiRiceAndEgg: I’ll coolly let you know.

[Whisper] To KimchiRiceAndEgg: ? That’s not cool at all.

[Whisper] KimchiRiceAndEgg: Haha.

[Whisper] KimchiRiceAndEgg: So when will you pay up? The siege is about to start.

[Whisper] To KimchiRiceAndEgg: I’ll pay after it’s over. I can’t leave now. Can’t send mail either.

[Whisper] KimchiRiceAndEgg: I don’t do post-payment deals.

[Whisper] To KimchiRiceAndEgg: Don’t you trust me?

[Whisper] To KimchiRiceAndEgg: If I scam you, you can screenshot this and post it publicly on the forums.

[Whisper] KimchiRiceAndEgg: Then say “Ahn Yiyoung” three times.

[Whisper] To KimchiRiceAndEgg: If I don’t pay, I’m Ahn Yiyoung.

[Whisper] To KimchiRiceAndEgg: If I don’t pay, I’m Ahn Yiyoung.

[Whisper] To KimchiRiceAndEgg: If I don’t pay, I’m Ahn Yiyoung.

[Whisper] KimchiRiceAndEgg: Okay, good luck with the defense.

[Whisper] KimchiRiceAndEgg: Take it easy, okay? Haha.

It seemed even af50ab0ab6 KimchiRiceAndEgg hadn’t bet 7a3d563fbb on Countess Guild 19cb0e7a04 succeeding in the 10b2d4f24f defense.b411c68cd87b2cb7

So who was 11b6d30cee it? Jehyun furrowed his brows 84dd963097 as he scanned the b89ffccbc3 raid members list, then bf3fa29011 shook his head. If they a8cb598777 were part aa072d8b8d of the 7ebdebfef3 Countess Guild, 446873344d they wouldn’t b84839e32c be unaware 00d3759d77 of the 0ab82d6e06 guild’s atmosphere. There was no way cf39e829d6 anyone would make the d2723c428b foolish decision to waste 7a739adef4 money on that bet.fe50c6a1c595c3d4

It must have been 61b7a0dbd6 someone crazy about gambling, b4c8397f0e staking everything on the 926fe02a5b underdog. That seemed the most 6478609634 plausible explanation. As Jehyun imagined the 3309041cd7 gambler’s downfall, he clicked 2d4537d5b2 his tongue, then noticed 498e9a2d79 there were only two e032933e13 minutes left until the 30a4272dd8 siege. Opening the 7e5b475f80 guild master-exclusive 67c5189e28 skill window, 8a41233e91 he used 34d3a6a8e0 the guild e34a984795 points he 7afe02f11f had saved 4edc1ef34d up to 49147d32ec summon defensive cccf505b73 NPCs and 9f5a4523b5 the outer 992e5ea29b wall barrier.9b4fc73a35aca2ef

[Whisper] Habaek: We’re obviously going to lose the defense. Stop summoning. If we win the weather event tomorrow, we can add more points and take first place. Why do you keep summoning?

[Whisper] To Habaek: The odds of winning the weather event tomorrow are low.

[Whisper] Habaek: It’s not zero.

[Whisper] Habaek: Just stop summoning. Even if we win the weather event, we won’t be able to win at this rate.

[Whisper] To Habaek: I just don’t want to lose the castle outright.

[Whisper] To Habaek: Even if it’s certain we’ll lose, we should still do everything we can.

[Whisper] Habaek: No.

[Whisper] Habaek: If we’re going to lose anyway, why go all out? It’s a waste of points.

The conversation grew longer 7482b2c40e due to their differing 6580649926 perspectives. Jehyun let out a c649eb6892 small sigh and spoke 0fe6531e8b up.631a933238fa6e85

[Whisper] Habaek: Use up all the guild points, lose the castle, and end up ranked 84th.

Seeing Habaek being 240a915863 so childish, Jehyun 5e0de164d4 couldn’t just sit 5360558da6 back either.

The Battlefield of bc81437e5b Annihilation and Capitol 70a0fd5901 Siege were similar 836f8db034 but different. The distances were the e55b6e035a same, but while in 45c36de37a Battlefield you could use cd79afc9dc airships to enter the 8763f91a08 inner area, in Siege 3a6857f669 that wasn’t possible.

Another difference c27d8ac089 was that 65e086db3b in Battlefield, decad03ec3 you couldn’t 70bd562b92 respawn inside ce5eeb960c the inner 865722e51b keep before e5e027a566 the inner b32f73727d gate was d1294a667f destroyed. In Siege, however, 7c163c7552 defenders could choose 93cdf6038a an active checkpoint 34adfcb3ea to respawn at 46b4731669 upon death.faf296100ecfc4bd

The checkpoints 0588337d4e were located 65ea144f4d on the 12ed701756 outer wall, fa530368c6 in front 8ffcbfb04e of the 27bb1c6523 inner keep, 7763b6c017 and inside dab16a355a the lord’s b3ef6d1657 chamber. If a dea8b36a5a checkpoint’s Guardian 071232115d Stone was 2ec5b4537b destroyed, it 62266a9507 couldn’t be 9de5eeacf5 used for 1a3f770546 respawning until 98e701a9a7 its health ce8054119c regenerated over 078645bc41 three minutes.6d7d9896c0a704cd

The defending side needed 4e9d9d8612 to protect the Engraving 2177ca71e0 Stone inside the inner baabc94e5f keep. The attackers had to 753b04ce0c destroy the Guardian Stones, e2ea0b4154 push the defenders back, 7759501ecc and either engrave or 7113224448 destroy the Engraving Stone. The guild that dealt 909fb02f7f the final blow to 1f4d508ba1 the Engraving Stone would b65c81c7bd claim the castle.142dd6e7df4667aa

Engraving took one 6bb03a2b5a minute to complete, b5cd94d2d9 but if attacked, a3a4bd9daf the time would ed491e9901 decrease by 10 d193ba7597 seconds per hit. For instance, 8f72423281 if the 23db76b9e3 engraver was d34ae400f6 attacked after 3f51a4263f 30 seconds, 90d69ca290 the timer 10abb469d1 would drop 72cb49baa4 to 20 b35d2983d9 seconds. The key point 8e94a8f66d was that other e948f69af1 members of the 1e34581c0f same guild could 9d8110c095 continue the engraving 8cd8389dca from where the a4e86a0ff7 previous one left d66653a55b off.afcbb8a31c758415

“If anyone is 3dcb75eb69 just standing around 9ed34651f5 near the Engraving 075963022d Stone, attack them b0afc68bbd immediately. Don’t kill them, just 3402bf52bb hit them once.
