162. Reckless Tactics
In Hunter’s League, there were things that allowed you to predict the outcome of the match before it started.
Most fundamentally, what tactics the team prefers, what player pool they have, what concept they play, and what style of play they play.
… … And when the day arrived, you could add to that and find out the game concept for that day.
The ‘Mana Equipment’ used by the players of that team is revealed as the game begins.
This was a good hint to guess the team’s tactical concept that day.
‘Mana Protector… … .’
That was the only thing that crossed my mind.
One of the lesser-used mana equipment that is not really used very often. In other words, it is a mana equipment that is only used when preparing special tactics.
When I consider the usage method and tactics in conjunction with this map.
It seemed obvious how it would be used.
‘Wage a defensive battle, while at the same time preventing the terrain from being destroyed… … .’
The idea is to force close combat in indoor spaces with a lot of cover.
‘[The Last Temple] map has most of the relics you can find gathered in the temple and building areas… … .’
Set up camp there, fill it with cover with ‘Mana Protectors’, and create supports so that the building doesn’t collapse even if its pillars collapse.
I guess so.
As expected, the voice of a team member who was joining the group while observing the other team’s movements rang out.
“Those guys, that big thing I saw… … Looks like they’re installing something?”
I couldn’t help but be completely convinced.
‘Is TAM planning to lie down and fight a war of attrition, like the space defense strategy we’ve deployed before? … .’
Who did you shoot?
It seemed obvious what they were thinking when they used such a tactic.
That’s funny.
***
The screen shown from the audience seats showed TAM working hard.
As soon as you start, you will see the scene where the crumbling temple of [The Last Temple] is located, and the ‘Mana Protector’ is installed.
‘If we do it that way… … it’s rat poison for long-range dealers.’
Joara is said to have outstanding analytical skills and a versatile face even in the Hunters League.
At least that’s what it seemed to her.
If only there was a way to get it out.
At least if you fight there, any ranged dealer’s attack power will be greatly reduced.
Even though the temple is an indoor space, tactics such as collapsing the building and sniping from the outside are impossible.
But if you go inside the building, it is full of ‘Mana Protectors’, a cover created by TAM.
It was something that could easily be avoided anywhere.
That’s not all. This applies not only to long-range dealers, but also to sword-wielding players like Yoon Han-gyeol and Kim Do-jun.
‘On the other hand, TAM comes with daggers, gauntlets… or even just mana bombers, so there’s no need to worry about getting in the way of swinging your weapon due to the cover.’
This was just like TAM waving.
Like a predator waiting for its prey while digging a huge swamp.
However, if you don’t go in, TAM will have all the powerful relics in the temple, which will greatly benefit you in the battle itself.
In other words, it is safe to say that PER was tactically against TAM from the start.
Rather, it would be better to start a persistent fight from the beginning and prevent them from taking a position, or to have PER take a position on the temple side…
Even if we realized TAM’s plan now, it would already be too late.
‘It seems like you’ve been thinking a lot about what I said… … I didn’t really care about my brother. Has he grown?’
No, I thought that maybe the urgency of the elevator fight had made her stronger.
While we were assessing the game with such tactical thoughts, the two teams finally started to move.
[Narrator: Ahhh… … PER! As soon as the team members finish joining, they move to the camp that TAM has built!]
[Caster: As you said, if we go into TAM’s established camp, there’s almost no chance of winning, right?]
[Commentator: Yes… … It is clear that TAM, who prepared for the fight in advance, has the advantage, but if they fight passively, it will only result in a war of attrition and will be disadvantageous to PER… … Player Lee Chang-hyun. What on earth are you thinking!]
Is it self-abandonment? Or is it arrogance?
‘It might be arrogance. He’s the guy who’s won everything so far.’
I also heard from other players that the guy’s bullets had a distorted trajectory.
I guess they believe that and think they can win even if there is a lot of cover inside… …
No matter how much the Awakened One uses their abilities, they cannot completely escape the laws of physics.
If the bullet was fired with great force, it might be possible to slightly correct its course with the ability, but it was generally difficult to use the ability to stop and then reverse direction at the same speed.
‘I actually heard that the ability to change the trajectory of a bullet is not that great… … .’
It would be impossible to fly in a zigzag pattern while avoiding obstacles indoors, especially in a place with many obstacles.
Of course, athletes need to have self-confidence and a challenging spirit, but…
I got the feeling that the guy still didn’t quite know his limits.
If you did something arrogant and reckless, you had to pay the price.
[Commentator: Yes. At this very moment, PER is rushing into the camp created by TAM!]
***
“It might be good for Yeonju and me, but it’s just rat poison for the rest of the team. Do you think we can fight properly in such a narrow place with so many obstacles?”
Ryu Jae-jun said that he can attack without being interfered with by space and defensive objects using [Wave].
‘That’s a pretty valid point.’
I thought that he was indeed raised by Lee Geun-taek. And since he was my partner before I returned, he also had a high level of understanding of the Hunter’s League.
Team members who joined. Gilhan Lee, Yuhyeon Kim, Yeonju Lee, Dojun Kim, Hankyul Yoon, Jaejun Ryu… …
Looking at the faces of the PER members selected for this match, this statement was certainly correct.
Lee Gil-han would not be able to charge due to the terrain, and Kim Do-jun and Yoon Han-gyeol, who use longswords, would have difficulty swinging their longswords properly because the area was narrow.

And perhaps, Ryu Jae-jun added this:
“Why? I’m afraid that my abilities won’t be able to be fully utilized in narrow, sheltered areas.”
I looked at Ryu Jae-jun and smiled.
Although he didn’t say it directly, Ryu Jae-jun seemed to have a lot of influence on that part, and he gave a tacit agreement, saying, “Hmm… …
Certainly, that was somewhat true.
‘Even if the bullet’s attack power is increased by [Speaking and Hitting Person], it won’t be able to break [Mana Protector]… … Then, you’ll have to shoot at an area that isn’t covered by [Mana Protector], but I think it’ll be narrow and likely to become a war of attrition.’
It’s common and correct.
The analysis was good.
In fact, even from a normal perspective, it would seem that it would never be able to perform well.
“But… … have you actually tried that? Have you actually done it instead of just guessing?”
“No, you really have to do that… … .”
Ryu Jae-jun highly regards my tactical understanding and Hunter’s League, but when I said something that sounded like a slap in the face, he held on as if his head was hurting.
“Well, there’s no point in explaining it now. I’ll show you.”
“… … .”
“What’s wrong, Changhyun… … Did you develop some new mana equipment without telling me? Is there some equipment that can cause an earthquake and bury everything?”
Kim Do-jun was talking nonsense, but there’s no way something like that could happen.
Even if there is, it would be absurd to predict this kind of economic situation and prepare for it.
On the other hand, Yoon Han-gyeol didn’t say much, but he looked very happy.
He had the expression of a boy watching a new blockbuster movie.
“Just follow the orders.”
The plan was simple: a battlefield filled with cover from mana protectors, hiding them from ranged attacks.
Into the depths of [The Last Temple], PER rushes in from all directions. A melee ensues.
After the explanation was over, Ryu Jae-jun looked at me as if he was crazy, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Even now, time is passing, and as more time passes, the other side will find the relic and gain a more advantageous position.
Besides, I couldn’t stop them from setting up shop there as soon as the game started.
The only way is to just hit it with full force.
Ryu Jae-jun probably thinks that he won’t be able to win this way because his opponent has a huge advantage… … Well.
‘After all, in a fight, the one who fights better wins.’
Ryu Jae-jun, who expressed his opposition with his expression, also silently began to charge in following the order.
‘I didn’t really think about it… … .’
I had a feeling that I would end up sacrificing my team members as sacrifices for my mad movie.
So what? I’m back in the league I love, so wouldn’t it be boring to just appear as an ordinary player?
Again, to the Hunters League fans. And to show the players that I’m here.
This match will play that role.

Meanwhile, TAM, which had already secured a spot on the site of [The Last Temple], detected PER’s advance.
“Suyeon! It looks like the other person has made a decision. They’re charging in.”
“It looks like they’re all coming together to try to break through one side?”
“That… … seems to have spread out unexpectedly and everyone seems to be heading off to different areas.”
“What?”
Jo Soo-yeon was dazed by the unexpected report.
PER is good at team synergy, and above all, is good at team tactics rather than individual combat.
So I thought that in this situation, they would come together and fight… …
‘But I like it rather.’
The fact that the opponent you analyzed attacked in an unexpected way. That meant that the opponent was not familiar with that method and was not using the most powerful weapon they had.
“Did you all see the last analysis team report? The guys you should watch out for in individual battles are Lee Chang-hyun, Ryu Jae-jun, and Yoon Han-gyeol. Just keep these three in check, and the rest have weak individual fighting abilities. It’s actually a good situation.”
“That… … Kim Do-jun… … didn’t he have permission?”
“Time is of the essence, so let’s put aside unimportant matters and fight individually? The battle has become easier. For now, just follow my orders.
This is completely our territory. And… … we’ve confirmed that it’s torn, so before the enemy joins us inside, let’s kill the strong guys first with one shot.”
It was a perfect plan.
And thanks to the opponent stepping away, a really good opportunity came.
The opposing team is a team centered around Lee Chang-hyun. If we can just eliminate Lee Chang-hyun, who is a crack and a striker, the game will be really easy.
But since it was torn at such a good time, wouldn’t it be natural to give it back?
‘Of course it’s not 1 to 1, but 7 to 1.’
In a battlefield where there is a lot of cover and [Mana Protectors] are abundant.
I don’t know what he was thinking, but at least I didn’t think there would be any problems in this situation.
No matter how much I thought it might be a trap, no matter how much I simulated it, it just felt like the opponent was reckless.
As expected, Jo Soo-yeon’s TAM was flawless.
“Okay, let’s go! Let’s all take them down one by one.”
Jo Soo-yeon’s poisoned dagger flashed in the light.
