Arcane Sniper [Matan’s Shooter] Chapter 582

It had been already 7 days since the first burst of lava.

Except for the ti Leeha had logged out, he had been continuously staying in Gaza City, assisting Bottleneck.

Leeha didn’t need to exert much effort as Faitorn, an NPC butler, could quickly carry out various support tasks, which kept him busier than expected.

‘It took a solid week, after all.’ Where, a week ago, had been a stockpile next to the bottleneck blacksmith, a building with an impressive exterior had been built.

‘Ah! No, I’ve been mistaken because I’m too accustod to the ga.’

Leeha shook his head, looking at the work he created.

‘It only took a week to build the system that controls the lava of the bonobo paleos. It’s amazing. Good job, Leeha.’

Leeha reassured himself.

Of course, this was possible because Bottleneck had ‘stolen’ the knowledge of bonobo paleos perfectly.

“When does the enhancent start?”

“We should test it first. After all, it should be sufficient in two or three days. So, how about the Black Bass?”

“You want to use Black Bass for testing?”

“No way, you fool. Unfortunately, I can’t enhance Black Bass with my current skill. I was just asking whether you enhanced it yet.”

Bottleneck, while grumbling, was not overconfident about his skill. Although he had mastered the theory, his lack of experience was inevitable.

He definitely had exceptional talent and technical skills, and his experience was sure to pile up quickly. However, at this point, not even he dared to say he would enhance Black Bass.

“I haven’t enhanced it yet. Hmm… Considering it took slightly over two weeks to find the Kobalt Blue Python… I guess I will put up the expectation of three weeks before making a move for the Black Bass.”

“So we need to wait about 10 more days?”

“It seems so.”

Bottleneck looked up at Leeha, sensing his slightly downcast voice. However, the dwarf’s face did not show concern.

“Haha, that’s right! Lord, you should suffer a bit more!”

“Why are you talking so rudely? There are few humans in Middle Earth who have suffered as much as I have.”

“No, no! From my point of view, you have much more to go! Will you be attending the Juma City’s second wave defensive battle?”

“I have to, it should be starting soon.”

“Good, go and suffer a bit!”

Bottleneck spoke, playfully smacking Leeha’s back.

Listening to that dubious encouragent, Leeha just laughed.

“But, Bottleneck, your expectation will not co true.”

“What do you an?”

“I won’t suffer.”

“Oh my! Toon has appeared in front of Juma City! Toon is here! The second wave starts now!

“Okay! I’ll be right there!”

“You’re full of confidence. Lord, you’re just relying on your Black Bass-“

“Haha, you will hear about how I didn’t suffer through other people’s mouths soon! I’m off!”

Leeha imdiately activated the portal. Alexander and Veilypus’ predictions were, as expected, not wrong.

“Don’t die, Lord.”

A mont later, as Leeha’s body disappeared with a swish, only Bottleneck was left, staring at the newly built Enhancent Forge with a bitter smile.

Around 500 ters from the city walls of Juma City.

Users had positioned themselves a little further than during the first wave.

“Wow… Look at the vibrating air.”

“From the mont Toon appeared, there’s no distance illusion. This distance from a big guy like that, and that roar, how are we going to deal with it?”

The users on the city walls quivered.

The precaution was the sa as during the defense battle, but this ti, defending weapons were deployed everywhere. NPCs operated these weapons, and nurous crossbown and archers were deployed to protect the surrounding area on the outer wall, all as part of a strategy to minimize the number of monsters that might advance.

Leeha had just stepped toward the group of star grass users.

Just before the wave started, Kijung was giving various instructions to guild mbers.”The basic strategy is the sa as last ti. Ah, you weren’t here last ti, were you?”

“Strategy? Do we need a strategy to block the waves?”

“Of course! Those creatures are quite strategic. They’re not as strong as Toon’s troops, but there are quite a few massive monsters among them. The primary targets are Cyclops, followed by Ogres and Trolls.”

“Ah, so you’re saying we should take down the DPS line first and then take care of the tank line.”

“Exactly.”

This strategy was different from the brutal onslaught approach.

The monster army led by Toon was ticulously planning on destroying Juma City completely, hence the users had to develop a counter-plan.

“But the question is whether they will follow the sa strategy as before…”

As Kijung scratched his chin in thought, another user nearby slightly opened his mouth.

“Hehe, no need to worry about that”

“Biyemi, what does that an?”

“I don’t have much to say right now, but what’s important is that we don’t die. Heh, that’s too obvious, isn’t it?”

Biyemi smirked ambiguously and grasped hisher weapon.

Leeha had not had a significant conversation with Biyemi since coming to Juma City.

‘Co to think of it, how did he know about bonobo paleo? Does she know about the “”enhancent”” as well?’

The colour of Biyemi’s weapon was unequivocally different from before, suggesting that so sort of enhancent had been applied to his weapon.

However, it was clear it wasn’t through the bonobo paleo. That’s because they didn’t react at all to the words Biyemi or lizardia.

These conflicting pieces of evidence made Leeha suspicious.

“Anyway, since you, Leeha, have no main weapon, please just offer support fire from behind this ti. You’ll still gain plenty of levels.”

“Does the extent of level increase depend on the magnitude of the action?”

“Well, it’s not been confird yet, but that seems to be the case. I’ve heard that users at about the sa level as Kijung gained about one level.”

This was intriguing information for the user ranked in the top 10.

Kijung, fitting of Byulcho’s Guild Master status, had perford impressively and thus earned much more experience than other users of the sa level.

“Just like the mission’s ‘completion,’ Middle Earth seems to be rating each individual.”

“Hehehe, that’s the point……

“Leeha, you’re scheming again! It’s dangerous; just stay behind !”

“Please do. There’s no one to protect you, Leeha, if I’m not there. Just stick close behind Kijung. Got it?”

As Leeha grinned inexplicably, Gi-Jung and Bobae looked anxious. But their words didn’t get to Leeha.

“Let’s see how it goes. I’ll be careful. Once this wave is over-“

Here it cos!

“-we’ll see how much my level has increased.” Just as soone yelled out, the ground started to shake.

The gigantic monsters and the large monster army, following Toon’s command, were rushing to trample Juma City.

Bobae: It’s starting! I’ll get in touch later, Nara-ssi!

Nara: Yeah, take care!

Despite enthusiastically cheering for Bobae, Shin Nara’s face was hardened.

Hearing that Leeha would be attending this second monster wave, she desperately wanted to participate.

‘I’m still in Hong Kong, and I haven’t been able to see him… I wonder if he rembers our date. He hardly whispers to either.’

In Middle Earth, Leeha’s focus is unparalleled.

However, when it cos to relationship matters, the complete opposite is true. Leeha was so engrossed in his Middle Earth play that he didn’t pay attention to others, hence she couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

‘So I was definitely going to go today… I was determined to participate!’

Because of that person!

Feeling Shin Nara’s gaze, perhaps, Lotzak, who had been standing next to the king, visibly flinched. It was due today for him to reconsider the issue that she had brought up several tis but had been consistently turned down.

“Right now! Juma City is currently facing a fierce onslaught from monsters, including Toon.

To protect our citizens, I firmly believe that it’s essential to dispatch at least one knights’ squadron and establish a branch of the Sacred Knights. I sincerely request once again that you all reconsider.”

Speaking to all NPCs sitting around the round table, her eyes were particularly focused on Lotzak. As a mber of the ‘Capital Defense Knights,’ which was nominally established as the Sacred Knights, she wasn’t allowed to leave the capital without special reasons, making her burning with frustration.”Hmm, well… Of course, I understand Da Shin’s words, but, it’s not sothing that can be easily decided, is it?”

“Indeed. It’s difficult to speak rashly to His Majesty the King. The Knight Order’s fundantal function is regional defense, and if we send over the current continent’s Knight Order? Those ignorant fools from Minis or Klaban, who knows what kind of uproar they would cause.”

“True, correct, correct.”

“You have a point.”

The noble NPCs were wiping their sweat while avoiding Shin’s gaze.

Deciding on dispatching the Knight Order should not be sothing to be announced directly to the king.

The Knight Order, which was initially established city by city, or by castle, needs to coordinate with the lord of the respective city or castle.

Although the king’s direct order is possible, if resistance grows severe, the Knight Order of Seikrid and Shin himself may face problems.

So far, Shin Nara had been holding back her worries about that part.

He looked at the noble NPCs with contemptuous eyes.

“Are you worried that the number of knights to protect your ‘cities’ might decrease? I might be taking away the people to guard your properties?”

“How absurd!”

“Who am I for you to accuse of such!”

Her sharp criticisms were enough to ignite the nobles’ anger. It was Lot who cald down the NPCs on the verge of eruption.

“Da. Don’t forget that you are attending this conference as a knight.”

“I haven’t forgotten, Chief Mage. If you would also rember how many tis I’ve requested the dispatch of the Mage Division. Will you disagree again for the sa reason as last ti? We heard it so many tis that we can recite it, so don’t bother if you’re going to say the sa thing again.”

He stared straight at Lotzak. Below one representative, there was Lot, the Chief Mage and the king’s wisdom pocket. No noble NPC took his words lightly.

For such Lot, Shin was an even more annoying existence than a hundred weak-noble NPCs.

Lotzak said, “I disagree. I am in favor.”

His dissenting voice quietly blended into the conference room. Everyone except Lot was surprised, showing a blank expression for a mont.

“Lotzak?”

“What did you say?”

“Do you agree? With dispatching the Mage Division?” even Shin couldn’t believe it and had to ask again.

This was the sixth ti she had initiated such a eting since the new continent was opened.

That sa person, who had consistently disagreed for the sa reason for the past six tis, was suddenly agreeing?

However, Lot seed too calm. He didn’t agree to dispatch the Mage Division.

“I think it is the best ti to dispatch the Knight Order, allocate a small fraction of the Seikrid Squad, and dispatch a small Mage Division.”

“To the new continent… The place Lotzak is referring to… you an, to dispatch to Juma City?”

“That’s right. No matter how I think about it, now seems like the perfect ti. Isn’t the highest priority to secure Juma City now? If it’s destroyed, we lose a foothold in the new continent. During that ti, tensions will rise here on the Lophe continent, and the possibility of us being swept up into another war will increase. Even when we think about preventing this, it seems better for each country to disperse its power to the Lophe continent and Erika continent.”
