Taming Master Chapter 584

Ian's equipment was obviously much better than any user who was on the battlefield of ‘God's Piece Board'.

In addition, Ian's stats were incomparably high.

And the rank increase didn't seem to have an effect on the stats, he was just one rank lower than the combat soldier, and yet the level of combat stats raised by him in the battle training was much higher than any user there.

Then, why did Ian entered into the battlefield in the lowest title available?

‘Maybe because of the rank.'

Ian was entirely convinced that in the Brave Canyon, the rank played a vital role in electing the positions on the battlefield.

Ian was able to be a normal soldier, while Mark Oliver and Lichao couldn't even participate.

And in the case of Ian, the item level and the stats seemed to have made it possible.

And thinking about the reason, Ian was biting down on his lip.

‘A soldier how? If I stick and win, it'll stop.'

However, after a while, the system messages started to come once again in front of Ian.

[‘God's Piece Board' battlefield, detailed settings.]

[First, the stats of the users will be corrected by default.]

[Soldier: +0% for all the combat abilities/ +0% for all career abilities.]

[Aide: +0% for all combat abilities/ 50% for all career abilities.]

[Assault Captain: +35% for all combat abilities/ +25% for all career abilities.]

[Advisor/ General: +70% for all combat abilities/ +50% for all career abilities.]

[High General: +100% for all combat abilities/ +100% career abilities.]

‘Ha, why is it so bad for a soldier?'

Ian who checked the messages, couldn't help but feel deceived.

Stat buff due to the position was too huge.

‘Even with all the training, I might be trying to endure being a soldier?'

He wasn't asking for an unreasonable 70 percent of stat buff like the adviser position, but even a 35 percent stat buffs were worth it.

‘Then the soldier isn't fun to play in the game?'

Seeing the other positions with extra stats and special abilities unlike his soldier rank, Ian sighed deeply not even realizing it.

“Phew…”

In the situation, to have as much public points as possible, all Ian could do was to kill as many opposite camp members as possible, but even that task was going to be limited.

And maybe the dissatisfaction of Ian was heard, messages began to come up again.

[Second, for the ‘Soldiers' and the ‘Aide' ranks, at the rise of 3 kill points the rank increases (moving up to an ‘adviser' is possible).]

[Thirdly, when a user who starts with a ‘soldier' rank kills the enemy ‘High General', the achievement gained in the battle is increased by 300 percent.]

The sullen expression of Ian came to life.

‘Kue, right, right! No way Kailan could disappoint me!'

Clearly, the position of a soldier was the most unfavorable position on the battlefield.

As Ian thought, it was a ‘bullet taking position'.

The biggest reason Ian had been dissatisfied wasn't just because of the ‘pulley'.

When overcoming all those disadvantages, there was no corresponding reward for it.

If one had 10 kills of a soldier or 10 kills as a general, there wasn't much one could do, if there weren't any rewards associated with it.

‘But it is different if this is the case.'

Ian's eyes sparkled.

Everytime he earned a kill point, he could be promoted, and if he could do three times the public value by killing the opposite general, then it surely was worth a shot.

‘Nice, I need to put a strategy…'

While Ian was thinking of this and that, additional system messages came to his sight.

[Fourth, all the attack ability is increased by 15% in the battlefield.]

[Fifthly, if the ‘defensive mode' is activated, your turn is skipped and your combat ability is increased by 10% for the next turn (The defensive mode can't be activated if moved one step)]

And Ian, who checked the messages, turned his eyes to the ground.

‘Nice, now that I understand the rule… I might get the neck of the enemy.'

Ian's greed was burning.

The disadvantage of the title of ‘soldier' was quite great, but the rewards that came back with overcoming the disadvantage was very sweet.

As Ian's will to fight rose, a blue light began to engulf him and the other ones.

[Move to your spot.]

And in the place of Ian…

“…!”

Who was at the very forefront.

Wheeing-!

Along with the usual resonating sound, the heroes of each camp were summoned on the board.

24 for each camp, and forty eight members on the God's Piece Board.

The positional structure of the 24 was as follows.

High General 1 (High General)

Assault Generals 2 (General)

Defending Generals 2 (General)

Medical Aides 2 (Special Soldiers)

Aides 2 (Aide)

Lance 3 (officer)

Knights 3 (officer)

Soldiers 9 (Soldiers)

Of course, there were 9 soldiers on the front line for each camp.

The only thing which was interesting was that it wasn't just the soldiers who were lined up.

The positions of the soldiers were all arranged in a zig-zag, back and forth places.

To put it precisely, there were five soldiers in the front row, and four soldiers in the back row right behind.

And Ian's place was in the center of the battlefield.

‘Uh, this doesn't look good…'

Too obvious, the center of the field was always a place for targeting when it came to the attacks of the enemies.

And Ian never had the intention of standing out.

If he was targeted by the enemy general or any officers, he could be out of the game before trying anything.

‘I need to move as carefully as possible.'

Ian bit his lips and calculated the distance till the opposite side.

The distance between the soldier opponent of Ian was exactly three spaces.

‘The first mover will be at a disadvantage.'

In the battle, the second was always at a benefit.

In particular, if one could attack an enemy who hasn't activated the defensive mode yet, then he could create a stat gap that could cover the difference of rank.

Because of that, the three spaces made it impossible for moving.

Since the soldiers could move two spaces, with just one move, the enemy soldier would make it to them.

‘In the first turn, all five soldiers in the front lane of both camps will activate the defensive mode.'

The soldiers of the front line couldn't move immediately until the camp was earnest.

But between the four soldiers in the back row, there was an option to move around.

Rather, one had to move two spaces first so that the opponent soldiers couldn't move forward.

‘Well, there was an assault general who can jump into enemy lines… are these all so meaningless?'

Ian turned a little to see Hoonie.

And Hoonie who was right behind him was laughing.

Hoonie's position was that of a defending general.

‘Huhu, I surely want to beat this hyung…'

The defending general was like a general position.

Which meant that Hoonie's rank was the fifth position among the human users.

Ian smiled and stretched his fingers.

‘But that won't be easy, huhu.'

Ian exchanged glances with Hoonie.

Subsequently, in front of all the users on the battlefield, system messages that reminded them about the start of the battle were appearing.

[The team that wins on the Saturday battle will be awarded the ‘First Place'.]

[Turn is given to the ‘Celestial' camp.]

[From the ‘celestial' camp, the user ‘Jonas' is given the turn.]

The first turn on the battle was given to Jonas, a warrior ranker of the German Server.

And he with the nickname of ‘Berserker of War', was the 1st ranker in German warrior rankings.

In addition, Jonas was ranked 2nd in the all class server rankings of German.

And as he ranked at top, he was full of confidence.

‘Nice. I need to show them what this Jonas really is capable of to the whole world.'

Clenching his fist, Jonas looked around at the battlefield.

His position was that of an assault captain.

It was a lower spec than a general, but it sure was the best rank for him.

‘Keu, where should I start?'

The range of the assault captain was the longest of all the positions and could go on the enemy side at once.

In addition, the location was just behind the soldiers, allowing him to reach all the targets of the enemy excluding the High general and the aide.

Even the enemy's assault captain could be reached in just one chance.

‘I think it will be best to kill the assault captain or the medical aide…'

Jonas was in a concern for a while.

But the agony didn't last for long.

Before his eyes could loom for a spot, a message came to urge him.

[If you don't move in 5 seconds, your turn is over.]

[If you don't move in 4 seconds…]

Flustered by the situation, Jonas targeted the enemy who came into his glance the next moment.

[The Devil Camps, ‘Medical aide' Lilis user has been attacked.]

And that choice, led to the worst outcome.

[The battle between the user ‘Jonas' and ‘Lilis' will start.]

[The ‘Defensive captain' of the Devil faction, user Alpine has joined the battle.]

The defensive commander had a much shorter range than the assault captain.

He could only move up to three spaces at one time.

However, the defensive captain's special abilities were second to the High General.

*Allies within the range of attack can be engaged in combat when attacked (When engaged in combat, the combat ability is reduced by 40%).

And Jonas hadn't even thought about the ability of the defensive captain.

At the first look of the ‘God's Word Board', no one could figure out the number and the cases.

“This, this…!”

But it had already been done.

“Waah!”

“Is he an idiot? No matter how strong he is, how can he even deal with them…?”

“And isn't one them a healer?”

“Right. Got one kill because of that idiot.”

At the ridicule of the devil users, he was turning mad.

Tring-!

[The battle is over.]

[The assault captain of the Celestial army ‘Jonas' user has been defeated.]

[Jonas user has been summoned outside the battle.]

And Ian who watched the scene just sighed.

“Huu, this is so twisted right from the beginning…”

The role of an assault captain on the battlefield was similar to that of a come and go position.

Which was why the mistake of Jonas made the whole celestial army go silent.
