“It’s the same as the master’s method! It’s a ‘sub-character’!”
Chuck. Chuck. Chuck.
Behind Oasis, who was speaking like that, three different girls appeared one after another.
Everyone was wearing white clothes and helmets or masks that covered their faces.
“To be more precise… … .”
The white knight was shocked at the sight and was dumbfounded, but Oasis in the lead smiled brightly.
“But they are sub-characters!”
“Sub-characters… … huh? Then all four of them?”
“Yes! It’s all me!”
Oasis smiled brightly and pointed to the sub-characters behind him.
“To be exact, I’m going to create and deploy my own dummy AIs. Now, say hello to the master! Dummy number 1, number 2, number 3!”
The three girls standing behind followed him awkwardly and greeted him.
Somehow, his attitude was awkward and he looked shy, so it really seemed like he was a dummy AI.
“For your information, my remaining main character in Ocean Cross is being controlled by Dummy No. 4!”
“I see, that’s how it is… … .”
The convinced white knight nodded. Oasis continued his explanation in detail.
“You can continue to create accounts, but there is a limit to the number of entities you can actually control.”
MMORPGs played on regular PCs can be controlled with a keyboard or mouse, but controls in the VR world require a high level of difficulty similar to manipulating an actual human body.
In combat situations, things get even more complicated.
Because making split-second decisions and moving in detail requires a lot more calculations than you might think.
So, the combat AI of Wings Online NPCs is simplified by level to reduce the burden on the server.
Even high-level combat AIs simply use more of the previously saved movement presets.
Oasis didn’t have any of these moving presets, and every little movement was calculated and controlled instantly.
There were no problems when using only one main character, but problems arose when using multiple sub-characters.
There is a limit to the number of objects that can be controlled.
“For now, we’ve raised this net as a single party, and we’re gradually increasing the number of units that can be operated. As of now, the limit for demonstrating the highest level of combat AI is understood to be around ten.”
“It’s quite good, Oasis.”
To come up with this idea, put it into action, and grow it like this.
The white knight quietly reached out and patted Oasis on the head.
Oasis laughed hehe.
“I just followed suit after seeing how my master used his sub-character!”
“Still, it’s amazing that you put it into action… … So, what level are these four?”
“Exactly 90! I’ve been leveling up like crazy these past few weeks!”
It was a much faster speed than when both Labo and Oasis were leveling.
Various experience cash items, 4-person party composition.
This was the result of using the tricks that Labo had been developing for so long, and focusing only on leveling for 24 hours a day, as there was no need to rest.
“Instead, the skill level and various proficiency levels are low.”
“I guess it can’t be helped since I raised him in a hurry. Let’s take a look.”
“Yes! Everyone, stand at attention before the master!”
The white knight looked at the Oasis characters lined up in front of him one by one.
The 4th job advancement for the Inspector, Sword Master, the standard and classic for the Inspector series.
The 4th archer job advancement, Magic Sniper, focuses on debuffs and attribute attacks.
Elemental Owner, 4th job advancement for wizard, who uses magic of all attributes.
Homeros, the 4th job advancement for the bard, has put all his performance into buffs.
It was a rather aggressive composition, with 1 melee dealer, 2 ranged dealers, and 1 buffer and sub healer.
“The party composition is a bit extreme?”
Instead of responding to the white knight’s words, Oasis sent a party invitation message.
“Of course, it was composed with the master’s joining in mind!”
“… … .”
It really was.
The white knight groaned softly.
Ascension Paladin, the White Knight’s job, is a close-range damage tank that focuses more on the tank role.
And since it is a Paladin base, it also has a skill to heal allies.
The moment the White Knight joined, the five-person party became a harmonious combination of a tank, dealer, healer, debuffer, and buffer.
The White Knight exclaimed in surprise as he watched the pentagonal ‘Party Balance’ indicator at the top of the party window fill up.
Oasis has been planning parties with this lineup in mind from the beginning.
Oasis, who had crept up next to Labo, twisted her body as if asking for more praise.
“It’s pretty good, right? Yes? It’s pretty good?”
“You’re doing pretty well, really. You tried really hard.”
Labo, truly impressed, stroked Oasis’s hair again.
“You managed to keep this a secret for so long. How did you hold back what you wanted to say?”
“I thought I was going to die from the itch! But I thought it would be better to tell you when I can actually use my power… … .”
Oasis scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
“Actually, I reached max level today. Hehe. I came running right after finishing my previous job quest.”
“… … Good job. Really.”
“Hehehe.”
Oasis quietly looked up at the white knight who was praising him. No, it looked up at its master, Mincheol, who was inside.

The Demon King Labo account has already reached the realm of being the only one who is worthy of respect.
Even though it was strong, it was too strong.
Oasis was now struggling to play a role beyond ‘insurance’.
In this situation, Oasis has been wondering if there is a way in which it can support its owner.
And what I found was this white knight account. I guessed that the owner would use this account again someday.
No matter how much the Ascension Paladin, the white knight’s profession, flies and crawls, in the end he is still just a regular user.
The limitations are clear and deep, and Oasis wanted to supplement that part.
And that consideration paid off.
The white knight actually felt like he had received a surprise gift.
If the exclusive party follows along with such a good combination, moving forward will become several times easier.
“Okay, let’s not just form a party, but also create a guild with the people moving around here.”
The White Knight immediately opened the guild window and began creating a guild.
“We’ve decided to just have members for now… What should we name the guild?”
After resting his chin on his hand and pondering over the guild name for a moment, Baek Knight eventually came to a conclusion.
“Hmm, fine. Let’s just change one letter from Nightbringer and call it Light Bringer.”
“… … .”
Anyway, his master loved wordplay.
Still, it was a name that suited these people who were all wearing pure white equipment.
Oasis nodded.
“Okay, master!”
As soon as he heard Oasis’ approval, the White Knight founded a new guild.
Oasis and its piles joined the guild one after another. Soon, a small guild of five members was born.
“Okay, Lightbringer! White Knights. I’ll be counting on you from now on.”
The white knight reached out and patted the heads of both Oasis and the piles.
The dummy AIs also seemed to have similar natures, as they smiled and enjoyed the touch.
“As you may have guessed, Oasis. This White Knight account will be playing the role of the righteous ‘hero’ from now on.”
“Heh… … .”
After the Demon King, now the Hero.
The owner’s role-playing concept was so clear and yet so contradictory that Oasis found the gap amusing and smiled slightly.
“My goal is the bad ending of this game, and I have to defeat all the users in the end. In the process, I put this account into operation to lead users to my taste.”
“I see.”
“So, while I’m active with this account, I’ll be on the users’ side and try to defeat the Demon King.”
“hmm……?”
Oasis tilted his head because he didn’t quite understand what was being said.
“That… what exactly do you mean, Master?”
“It’s literally true.”
Behind the helmet that obscured his face, the white knight’s voice was already quite excited.
“If it’s really to defeat the Demon King’s army, I’ll do everything I can.”
It was a joyful voice, like that of a hard gamer facing an incredibly difficult dungeon.
“Uh… … It’s not acting?”
“Yes, seriously.”
The white knight nodded and looked beyond the walls of the occupied territory. He saw a few shadows leaning in and looking around.
Among them was the Invincible Fleet’s Bugilma Hawkins.
“There are already people who suspect this account, the White Knight. Soon, the tail will be attached.”
“… … !”
“To dispel that gaze, I need to show some sincerity on my part.”
The white knight turned his head back toward the oasis and smiled softly.
“So, don’t be too surprised if I use ‘serious’ tactics against the Demon King’s army later. And while you’re using this account right now, you’ll be fighting the Demon King’s army with me.”
“Okay! I’ll just think about it. Just follow your orders, Master, okay?”
“Gorechu. As always!”
Oasis nodded, but honestly, he didn’t think much about it.
The Demon King’s army’s fighting power has already far surpassed that of the users.
The elite monster army was constantly expanding in real time, and all kinds of elite units, including the four knights of the Dark God, were swarming around.
Here are the 7 worst villains reigning over the world with specs far beyond those of regular users.
Didn’t we just swallow up four city-states at the same time?
Now, the Salvation Army is said to be departing for the last city, Iceberg, but even this is just a trap set by Mincheol as Labo.
Does Mincheol think that he can defeat the Demon King’s army that he has built up so solidly as a white knight?
really?
‘No matter how I look at it, it seems impossible.’
I thought about it, but Oasis didn’t spit it out.
Anyway, isn’t it just a matter of acting realistically?
As a user who resists until the end in a game world that is on the verge of destruction… … .
‘I guess I’ll just do whatever the master tells me to do.’
That was when.
Waaaaah-!
A cheer erupted from across the occupied territory.
When I looked over there, I saw the gathered users rushing to the port.
It seemed like they were trying to travel by ship to a port in the Old Continent.
Aaron’s figure guiding and commanding those users was clearly visible from afar.
“You were lukewarm for quite some time, but once you make up your mind, you move quickly, Aaron.”
The white knight in the helmet smiled with satisfaction as he looked at Aaron like that.
It doesn’t suit the ‘champion’ to look so discouraged.
Aaron must carry the users’ expectations and hopes on his back and walk far.
Mincheol intended to lead Aaron like that as a white knight.
And at the highest point, in the most spectacular climax… … .
‘It’s all according to the scenario.’
The users flowed out of the port like an ebb tide. The leaders of the alliance, including Aaron, also left.
Now, in the city of Iceberg in the northern part of the Old Continent, we will build a final defense against the Demon King’s army.
Not knowing that I was walking into a trap set by the Demon King… … .
While I was watching the users going on an expedition for a while, Hawkins came walking along the wall from the other side and bowed slightly.
“Hello, White Knight. My name is Hawkins, the Guild Master of the Invincible Fleet.”
Hawkins introduced himself politely and pointed inside the occupied territory.
“All guild members who remain in this occupied territory have been organized under the command of the White Knight. I ask for your continued support.”
The white knight nodded heavily, pretending to be serious.
“Please take good care of me too.”
“I would like to explain the current status of the occupied territory and the timing and nature of the NPC army’s attacks. Do you have a moment?”
“of course.”
“Then please follow me. While you’re at it, please say hello to the remaining members of the alliance. And… … .”
Hawkins, who had been speaking kindly, trailed off when he saw the Oasis standing behind the white knight.
“What about these people?”
As the White Knight nodded lightly, Oasis and the dummy AIs all bowed their heads.
“This is my direct party. They fight just as well as I do.”
“I see. This is sturdy! Then let’s all go together.”
Hawkins guided the White Knight to the command barracks and gave him a brief briefing on the current situation.
“The NPCs come attacking every afternoon. They usually start their attacks around lunchtime, and stop attacking late in the afternoon.”
“What is the scale?”
“It started out as thousands, now it’s in the tens of thousands, and it’s still growing.”
Hawkins let out a small sigh as he glanced toward the port where the expedition was in progress.
“To be honest, I’m not sure how we’ll be able to defend this place once the few remaining troops leave… … .”
“… … .”
The white knight slowly opened his mouth as he surveyed the deserted landscape of the first occupied territory.
“If we just keep guarding, we will only be attrited. Our troops have been reduced, and we won’t be able to hold out for long.”
“I guess so… … .”
“So we’re going to attack in reverse.”
“… … ?”
Hawkins, who was about to continue his briefing, was speechless at the sudden remark.
“yes?”
Hawkins barely managed to ask back, but the white knight simply spoke again.
“We will reclaim the second occupied territory, the Hill of Opportunity.”
“uh…….”
In the command barracks, several guild masters were waiting.
Hawkins pointed at them and himself with his hand.
“Now that the main power is completely gone, are we left alone?”
The white knight snickered.
“If you can’t do it, try with just my party.”
Behind the white knight, four girls nodded their heads, even though they had no idea what they were talking about.
“… … .”
Hawkins looked around at the white knights and girls with a complicated expression.
“Why? Do you think I’m talking nonsense?”
The white knight asked, crossing his arms confidently.
Hawkins, who had been hesitating, answered cautiously.
“……yes.”
Honestly, it sounded like bullshit.
