SSS-Class Gacha Hunter Chapter 170

Episode 170

Wireless system (5)

With a loud shout, the army changed its formation in an instant.

It’s literally a blink-of-an-eye moment.

The artillery deployed at the rear moved further back and the cavalry took its place. The infantry at the front gathered together in a more compact square formation.

And when Jeong-do waved his hand in the air, the dolls began to glow and their weapons began to change. The remaining points were used to change the weapon.

The wooden horses of the cavalrymen were equipped with iron armor, and instead of light swords and shields, the infantrymen carried large shields that covered their entire bodies and long spears that could exceed 4 meters.

He covered the doll on his left with the shield in his left hand and pointed the long spear in his right hand forward.

Huh.

Thousands of spear tips piercing the sky simultaneously aimed at the enemy. Just like a hedgehog raising its thorns, the enemy took a step back without realizing it.

The square formation completed by aiming at the enemy was a famous thing that anyone with even the slightest interest in military knowledge would recognize.

Phalanx.

If the most famous formation in the East was the Crane Wing formation, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the most famous formation in the West was the Phalanx.

Even as the symbol-like phalanx of Alexander the Great was formed in an instant, the enemies were unable to respond and could only watch. This is because the conversion speed was so fast.

<The Majesty of the Conquering Monarch>

It was a morale skill that cut the enemy’s abilities in half and doubled the abilities of allies, but there was actually a bigger reason than that.

<<Command-lv.3> activates. <Communication-lv.3> is activated. The hearts of commanders and soldiers are tied together.>

<The new military unity is activated. Commanding an army is as free as moving your hands and feet. Commanders can sense what their allies are feeling and what they are looking at.>

In addition to himself, Yu Seon, Zhuge Liang, and Napoleon, Alexander’s <Command-lv.3>. And the five <commands> were combined into <communication>.

The expected 5 stacks of <Command-lv.3> have come true!

‘I can feel it.’

He felt that he and his army were psychically connected.

There was no need for words, hand signals, or glances.

The moment he decided to move his army like this, the dolls automatically reacted and formed a line.

We have now overcome the weakness that the military inevitably has: ‘it takes time to deliver orders.’

The moment when the limitations of a group are broken through.

Naturally, the feat was praised from space. Numerous notification windows began to appear in front of Jeongdo’s eyes.

<For the first time in the history of the universe, you will command an army that is subject to five <Command-lv.3>. For this battle only, the damage received by allies is reduced by 70%.>

This is a condition that can never be lost.

The degree to which he even confirmed the notification struck Bucephalus like a thunderbolt.

“Stop it!”

“Why are you blocking it? Our numbers are much higher. We are the attack! “Charge the cavalry!”

Wow!

The battlefield, which had been quiet for a moment due to the pressure of the level of spirit, began to heat up again. A large army of enemies began to rush towards Jeongdo. The enemy’s leader was a heavily armored cavalry unit.

‘There are more of them.’

That is correct. In war, the number of troops was more important than any other factor, and in most wars, the side that prepared the most troops won. That was the nature of war.

however.

If the quality of soldiers differs so overwhelmingly, what is the use of troops? Jeongdo glared at the charging cavalry. Then the puppets in the phalanx formation lowered their posture and thrust their spears further forward. The dolls responded to Jeongdo’s feelings.

“bypass! Take a detour!”

The enemies weren’t stupid either. It may have been their first time seeing the phalanx formation, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t guess its intention.

That long polearm is intended to block friendly forces’ attacks. The enemy decided so and began to bypass the pikemen.

They are horsemen, while the enemy soldiers have long spears that are, at first glance, very heavy.

There was no telling which one could move faster. The enemy commander drove his horse wildly, intending to bypass his pikemen and then flank him.

But as always, a good plan only lasts until it is destroyed.

They think they will be faster because the long spear is heavier?

As mentioned before, the dolls in the 5-stack <Command> completely ignore that principle. Moreover, it went without saying in a situation where <Dignity of the Conquering Monarch> was activated.

“Oh my!”

“Nonsense!”

Doo doo doo doo.

The phalanx did not miss any of the bypassing cavalry. It was as if the polearm he was holding in his hand was a stick of water, and there was no difficulty in changing direction.

“profit!”

The enemy’s leadership spurred their horses even more, but it was the cavalry that was getting tired. And while the phalanx tied up the enemy’s main force, the cavalry struck the enemy’s center.

“Where is this kid! Goes! Inferno Blast!”

“Storm Wind Force!”

A powerful spell fell upon the cavalry led by Jeong Do. The enemies judged Jeong Do to be weak against magic after seeing that he could not see through the ‘Invisible’ magic and dragged his army with him.

And that could have been the correct answer. If only the degree had not loaded Alexander now.

Jeong Do drew his sword and slashed the magic that flew at an invisible speed. And the magic disappeared as if it had never been activated in the first place.

“This is crazy!”

“Well, there are all these guys!”

Skill <Gordian Blade>.

Alexander’s sword cut the knot that could never be undone.

It was a skill derived from that anecdote.

In fact, the knot was treated with powerful magic, so of course it was a knot that could not be undone naturally.

But instead of untying the knot, Alexander tore it with his sword.

This skill was created at that time, <Gordian Blade>.

Although there was a restriction of having to wear a sword, it was the strongest dispel skill that nullified any magic.

Compared to the usual dispel skill, which requires going through a painful process called ‘reverse calculation’, this skill did not need that.

Ignore the logic of magic and just cut it down. In addition, the mana consumed by the skill was also relatively small, so it could be said to be the greatest skill of an archmage.

The enemy’s magic disappeared in vain and Jeongdo safely reached the enemy’s side. And the skill was activated once again.

“Advance!”

<Yes! This is what it tastes like! We can’t end the war because of this!>

<Skill <Surge> is activated. The ally’s breakthrough power increases by 50%.>

Kwaaaaaaa!!!

With that much sword, all the enemy dolls began to fall apart at the feet of Bucephalus. Napoleon muttered in vain as he watched the scene from afar.

“… “It was a meaningless action.”

I prepared an artillery unit just in case, but it seemed like I would never use it.

As long as the enemy’s flank was breached in one go, victory or defeat was decided. Things like the number of troops were meaningless anymore.

It was truly a one-sided massacre.

As Jeongdo has said several times, the finals were easier than the preliminaries.

And that too very badly.

* * * * * *

Just when Do-do had blown up the last doll, countless notifications appeared.

<For the first time in the history of the universe, you have commanded an army that applies 5 <Command-lv.3>. A truly great achievement! As a reward, you will receive a <Character Confirmation Ticket>.>

<<Character Confirmation Ticket> allows you to ‘confirm’ and load one of all characters recorded in the ‘real universe’. After using the ticket, you can load a specific person simply by imagining that person. The grade can also be set to the desired grade. (However, settings can only be made below the level currently open. Current open level: White, Ex)>

Having read up to this point, I was surprised by two things.

For the first time in the history of the universe, an army applied by 5 <Command-lv.3>. That means.

‘You mean there was an army that applied up to 4?’

Holy crap.

When I applied the first four, of course I thought I was the first in space… Indeed, the universe was wide and there were many outstanding people. A shiver ran down my spine as I thought that one day I would have to fight against such a monstrous army.

And another thing that surprised me was, of course, the <character confirmation ticket>. This ticket boasted more amazing performance than any ticket I had ever used. But it was also something he was very familiar with.

‘I see this a lot in games.’

The explanation was long and confusing, but it could be summarized in just one word.

Guaranteed drawing ticket.

For each game, the form of the name, such as a wish draw ticket or a selection draw ticket, may have been slightly different, but the effect was the same.

Choose one of all cards in the game.

It was a simple function, but it was also a more powerful function than anything else. Anyone who has played a lottery game at least once will know. In fact, this item is the ultimate among all items.

And since it is such a rare item, it is not something that is thrown around carelessly.

Usually, when a game celebrates its 3rd anniversary, they give one copy as an event or introduce mileage points and give away a ridiculous amount of money. Of course, in the latter case, padding and swearing at the developer were basic.

‘Who should I pick?’

There were so many candidates that anyone could be selected. To some extent, he recalled a powerful being he knew.

Zeus, the god of the 12 gods of Olympus?

Odin, the great god who rules Asgard and Valhalla?

If you think about the East, the Jade Emperor or Emperor Chiyu were also good options.

However, those gods were soon forgotten from Do-do’s mind. It was as if the person to be selected was naturally decided.

Winry Machina.

A real agent of the universe.

She was a woman I had seen several times, but I could never guess the end of it.

To be honest, considering her status, there was no guarantee that she could be selected as a <character confirmation ticket>. The moment you imagine her using her ticket, you’ll notice that she’s ‘excluded.’ She thought she could understand to some degree even if the same phrase popped up.

That’s because she was an out-of-the-box being.

… Of course, I thought it would be a bit unfair if it really came out like that.

And even if he could pick her, Jeong-do had no intention of using this ticket right away.

The ticket description clearly stated that it was only possible to load below the currently open level. In other words, in his current state, even if he were to load Winry, he could only pull out ‘White Grade Winry Machina’.

‘I think Winry would be better suited to Ex rank.’

Anyway, the important thing is that it would be a waste to pick Winry in her current state. To maximize efficiency, you must use it after opening at least a white level or higher. I didn’t know if there was a next level or not.

‘good night.’

It’s such a good reward. It would have been nice to say there was nothing more to it than this. Even in the actual lottery game, there were no more items than this.

Of course, it was a reward that felt good and felt like ascending to heaven. But at the same time, I felt a little anxious.

‘Usually, when you start distributing items like this, the game crashes.’

That’s what human psychology is like.

If you received good compensation before, you have to offer something even better next time for people to be satisfied. And to satisfy that satisfaction, developers’ overuse of products was the shortcut to network technology.

Of course, the reality he found himself in was not a game, and there was no developer whose purpose was to pursue profit, so that couldn’t have been the case… I was a little anxious to see it spread this far.

What a ridiculous situation it is to be anxious about giving something away.

However, that absurd situation seemed likely to continue a little longer.

The notification window still remained.

<<Communication-lv.3> succeeded in linking 5 <Command-lv.3>. You will become more proficient in handling <Communication-lv.3> than now.>

<From now on, when using a <draw> type skill or ticket, you can select the specialty of the character you are loading.>

<You can select one of three categories: martial arts, magic, and auxiliary.>

“oh.”

This explanation was easy enough to understand. I have used the <General type> ticket among the black tickets before. It’s probably the same thing.

And this time, the last notification window really came to mind.

<You have succeeded in loading a character of the highest level.>

<Mana increases by 10 and all abilities increase by 10.>

And then two roulette wheels appeared.

It was something I always felt, but only after seeing these two roulettes did I feel like it was truly over. Jeong-do took a quick look around.

Broken dolls filled the meadow and traces of people were visible everywhere. There were only four people standing.

The results are out.

The final winner of the wireless contest.

A total of 4 people: Jinjeongdo, Yuseon Construction, Zhuge Gongming, and Napoleon Bonaparte.

And so the 1037th Wireless Festival came to an end.
