Doo doo doo doo doo!
The Allied forces galloped across the plains towards the Iceberg Fortress.
Captain Dre, who was riding in the lead, frowned.
“That?!”
“hmm……!”
The white knight also groaned as he surveyed the scene in front of the fortress.
The Demon King’s army of Iceberg had all escaped from the fortress and were lined up in a long formation to the left and right in front of the castle gate.
“Aren’t you going to be able to stand in the fortress?”
As the bewildered white knight muttered, Captain Dre answered on his behalf.
“Because that’s the kind of person the leader is… … .”
Whether it was Oldman’s stubbornness or his caprice, it was a good omen for the Allied Forces.
Captain Dre had fought in the Battle of Iceberg just a few days earlier, and he knew how advantageous the terrain of Iceberg was for Mercury.
‘And yet, I lost… … .’
Conversely, if Oldman had decided to stay there and focus solely on Mercury, there would have been no answer.
Thanks to this barbarian courage in coming to the unfavorable battlefield, the Allied Forces seized the opportunity to win!
‘You are truly still the same, my lord!’
Captain Dre muttered to himself and shouted at the invisible enemy commander.
“There is no retreat! This is an all-out war on the plains! We are more numerous and stronger!”
The eyes of the Allied soldiers following behind burned with fighting spirit.
“Allied Forces, listen up!”
This time the white knight raised his greatsword and shouted.
“Let’s trample them down with all our might!”
Woooooooo-!
With a loud roar, the Allied Forces charged straight into the Demon King’s army.
Demon King’s Army Camp.
“Archers, fire simultaneously!”
Dearan, who was in charge of commanding the Demon King’s monster forces, was calmly giving tactical instructions.
“We must reduce the enemy’s charging power! Fire without stopping!”
The archers of the Demon King’s army began to fire arrows as soon as the Allied forces entered their range.
However, the Allied Forces were lined up with a large number of high HP monsters from the New Continent.
The damage was not that great because of those who volunteered to be meat shields at the forefront.
“Prepare your defenses!”
Doo doo doo doo doo!
The Allied forces were advancing right up to our noses.
“Absorb the enemy’s charge with your shield and slowly retreat.”
Krrrrrr… … !
The Orc heavy infantrymen, holding their huge shields in front of them, all breathed out murderous breath.
“Move according to the pre-arranged plan. Don’t deviate even an inch!”
At the same time that Dearan gave the order.
Kwaaang-!
The vanguard of the Allied forces clashed with the Shieldmen.
There was a tremendous noise and a huge number of casualties on both sides.
The Demon King’s army that had been blocking the attack also lost all of the shieldmen in the first row, but the vanguard of the Allied forces was also destroyed.
“Charge! Don’t kill the momentum! It’s a charge!”
Captain Dre roared.
Boom! Kwaang! Kwaaang-!
Following this, the second and third formations of the Allied Forces poured down onto the second row of shieldmen of the Demon King’s army.
Kieek!
Khooooh… … !
The shields were shattered and the shield bearers were trampled.
“Khuuuuk!”
“Wait, don’t push… … Eww!”
However, the Allied forces that rushed forward were not safe either.
While staggering due to the reduced speed, he was pushed and trampled to death by the allies who ran from behind.
The vanguard of the two armies collided with each other and were annihilated one after another.
The front lines expanded in an instant, and death spread like wildfire along them.
“Don’t worry about the destruction of our own forces! Push on! Push on!”
The white knight swung his greatsword at the forefront and cut down the orc hoplites, shouting.
Even though he was in the middle of this terrible battlefield, he barely took any damage. Even with four dedicated party members following him, he showed tremendous courage.
‘Is it a real monster?’
To the left of the White Knight, the elite NPCs of the Dark Cult were breaking through, and to the right, the boss monsters of the Swallowed Kingdom were breaking through together.
The White Knight and his party, despite being ordinary users, were able to exert destructive power that was not inferior to those two.
Captain Dre stuck out his tongue as he watched the scene from a distance.
Too much crap!
For a moment, it seemed as if the front lines would remain hostile, but the point where the white knights were located eventually broke through the last shield-bearing unit.
“charge!”
The white knight, who had crushed the shield bearers, charged into the enemy lines with a loud shout.

Whoaaaaahh …
The soldiers followed suit and ran forward.
As the center was breached, the Demon King’s shield troop units began to fall one after another.
Captain Dre, who was standing in the middle, shouted at the top of his lungs.
“Charge! Charge! Don’t back down… … ?!”
Captain Dre suddenly stopped talking.
‘uh?’
An ominous feeling of foreboding ran down my spine like lightning.
Captain Dre looked around urgently. In this chaotic crucible, he tried to get a sense of the overall situation.
The Allied Forces dug into the Demon King’s forces like a wedge, and the Demon King’s forces retreated, surrounding them like a crescent moon.
‘This is, without a doubt… …!’
Isn’t this what we saw in the battle just a few weeks ago?
Captain Dre muttered in bewilderment.
“… … A hammer and anvil?”
Hammer and anvil tactics.
A tactic in which the infantry unit (anvil) withstands the enemy’s charge while the highly mobile cavalry unit (hammer) returns to the enemy’s rear and strikes.
It is a time-honored tactic that has been loved continuously from ancient times to the present, and is also associated with the history of online gaming disputes.
And the same tactics the outlaws used against the Allied forces in the Battle of Parian Plains a few weeks ago!
‘also?’
Even then, Oldman commanded the outlaws, and the Allied forces, completely caught up, suffered enormous losses.
‘That tactic again? But… … .’
Even though he had figured out the enemy’s intentions, Captain Dre was still perplexed.
As before, the anvil of the front rank was completed, but there was no hammer to strike the rear rank.
‘During the Battle of Parian Plains, we planted our best troops as spies within the Alliance. They served as hammers.’
But now?
The current Allied Forces are structured in a way that they cannot plant spies in the Demon King’s army in the first place.
Because it is a union of all users and NPCs.
So, could other hidden forces emerge?
That wasn’t it either.
This is a plain. There are no other units in the area. If there were, they would have been on guard from the beginning.
The Demon King’s army also deployed its forces with the fortress behind them. Even if reinforcements came from the fortress, it would be impossible to attack the rear ranks of the Allied Forces.
‘Then why did you make another anvil? This time, there really isn’t a unit that can act as a hammer… …?’
At that very moment, ominous questions began to bubble up in Captain Dre’s mind.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly a loud gunshot sound echoed throughout the area.
When the surprised Captain Dre looked in that direction, he saw something being fired from a catapult from the fortress.
“……no way.”
Boom! Boom! KookooKook!
The ‘somethings’ thrown from the catapults all fell at once behind the Allied forces’ camp.
Hahahaha!
A huge orc with skull decorations hanging all over its body, spurring the sand dust, laughed loudly. The other orc warriors who fell with it also let out a howl.
The Orc Emperor, ‘Dairaku, who advances unconditionally’, who inflicted enormous damage on the Allied Forces in the previous Iceberg Siege.
And that bodyguard was the Orc elite unit, the ‘Orc Emperor’s Mercy’.
Oldman took over command of them from Labo!
Gh …
Elite orc warriors of Unique rank and above unleashed their warcries simultaneously.
The entire bodies of the orcs who were buffed in groups turned red.
“Eww!”
“It’s these guys again!”
The users at the back screamed in terror.
The rear of the Allied forces was made up of ordinary users with the lowest combat power.
They had a taste of the terrifying power of this elite Orc force during the last Iceberg Siege, so they retreated in terror.
“… … ?”
But why is that?
The orc warriors, who looked like they would rush in at any moment while being struck by lightning, only huffed and puffed and did not charge.
As if waiting for something… … .
and,
Slowly, slowly.
The clear sound of horse hooves was heard.
The users at the rear of the Allied Forces who looked back turned pale.
A knight riding a huge black horse and wearing black and gold lion armor… …was slowly approaching the rear of the Allied forces.
It was Oldman.
He had been waiting alone outside the fortress from the beginning.
The two armies clash, and a ‘molecule’ is formed… … !
“Where were you looking for the hammer this time, Drake?”
Oldman muttered softly to his former disciple who must be somewhere on the battlefield.
“Isn’t it right here?”
The Orc Emperor bowed humbly to Oldman. Oldman passed by and grabbed his massive hammer with both hands.
“Jim is that ‘hammer.’”
Immediately afterwards, Oldman began to run forward.
Leading a huge black horse, he galloped towards the rear of the Allied forces as if its brakes had failed.
Gh …
The Orc Emperor and his guards followed closely behind, but they could not keep up with Oldman’s speed on his mount.
“Eww! It’s Oldman!”
“It’s an old monster of the blood alliance!”
“Oldman is coming-!”
Users who were startled by Oldman’s appearance tried to escape from the line.
“Tear the World apart: Reform!”
It was within the old king’s range.
Cookies, cookies, cookies, cookies, cookies, cookies!
Oldman leaped down from his horse and struck the ground with his huge hammer, shattering the frozen winter plains into pieces.
Users within the skill’s range all spat out blood and were flung in all directions like bowling pins.
Users outside the intersection were also knocked back by the shockwave and vibrations that swept through the ground.
“There is no need for a loyal army. There is no need for grand military strategies.”
Hehe.
Oldman’s sharp eyes lit up as he lifted his beard and smiled wickedly.
“I am that great army! And that military strategy!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every time Oldman swung his hammer, the ground would flip upside down and dozens of users would die.
“Kwaaaaak!”
“What the hell is this, the f*ck… … ?!”
“It’s no match for me… … Aaaah!”
Users were left with only two options to choose from.
Die or run away.
Oldman swept in, followed by the Orc Emperor and his guards, clearing the way.
The rear of the Union began to collapse in an instant,
“Listen-!”
One Man Army.
Oldman shouted loudly, proving with his whole body what it meant to be a thousand against one.
“I am Oldman. Lord of Iceberg, Lord of the Blood Pledge, and the last king of this world!”
The users sitting on the floor just looked up at this terrifying veteran with terrified eyes.
“Hey kids, do you like playing war games?”
Oldman raised his hand and waved it vigorously.
Boom! Boom!
At the same time, artillery fire and shooting began simultaneously in the previously silent fortress.
The fallen shells and arrows began to strike the battlefield without regard for enemy presence.
“I love it, no! I love it the most in the world!”
In the middle of a battlefield that was suddenly turned into chaos, the old tyrant spread his arms wide.
The sound of a battlefield, a mix of gunfire, metallic clangs, and screams.
The smell of a battlefield, a mixture of blood, iron, and acrid fire.
After savoring it to the fullest, I opened my only eye.
“Okay, it’s war!”
As he began to walk forward again, Oldman readjusted his grip on the hammer.
A blue flame flickered in Heebundeok’s solitary eye.
“Stop me with your full force! With your full force, quench this old man’s thirst!”
