Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]-Chapter 595Vol. 11 - - Wit’s End, and the Resolve

Zephyr's strategy was straightforward: divide their force between the 3rd and 4th Fortress, so that opponents were forced to gather their firepower at these locations, and open skirmishes at other places to keep Rina's hand in bind. In the meanwhile, their detached force, Ester's team, would tear through the 1st fortress. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

A simple yet efficient plan that could cut away an opponent's force if executed properly. The crux of the strategy was mainly to prevent Rina from noticing their movement.

And just as he wanted, their effort in preventing Rina from completely mapping the whole arena, mainly the southern side, worked to their favour.

For the same reason, the success of Shizu & Karua's surprise attack, or <Best of the Best, the Great Star>'s decoy, matters very little. All they'd required was a bit of a lapse in Rina's attention to dispatch Lana, Ester, Mert and the others out of the mapping range. Fortunately, that was a success.

And to the misfortune of alliance, <Best of the Best, the Great Star>, who were supposed to be mere diversion with no expectation, somehow managed to score big this time, bringing down at least 8 of their members, while destroying the fortress in the process.

When someone was down in a competition, it was an obvious move to push them further down was the motto Zephyr, which he was faithfully acting on as of now.

At present, Class-1 and Class-8 had split into 6 teams.

1st team: Class-1's main force. With Sierra at the helm, and alongside Misato, the Harmonic Trio, and two of their classmates, they're to act as hindrance for alliance.

2nd team: Class-8's main force. With Reglam at the helm, and Noel, Lacritta, and seven others in tow, they're to engage against Class-3.

3rd team: The eight member team including Ester, Lana, Mert and others who were to target 1st Fortress, which was Class-12's base. It was also their true objective.

4th team: Zephyr, Rika and Pamela. Their task was to break through the enemy's command line, and target Class-51's base.

5th team: Karua and Shizu. They're to target Class-5, mostly to catch them in their game of harassment, and create chaos within the alliance. And if the situation permits, they could also try to bring down their base.

6th team: Gracious Smile & Machos Squad. They're to crash into the 3rd fortress, and were decoys. After their play at 4th fortress, the enemies were bound to take them more seriously. It was also to lure in 1st fortress's defense in-charge.

The alliance, having converged their firepower to counter Class-1 and Class-8, had no means to immediately disperse their force in a short time.

Rina had already contacted the members in-charge of 2nd Fortress to abandon it, and join Class-12's base to support them. 1st Fortress's members had been summoned as reinforcement, leaving it with barely two people to defend. It was no doubt Ester's charge would flatten them without any resistance.

Rina instructed them to use whatever it takes to hold even for a moment longer and bid for time while dispatching Lamda and his squad their way.

Meanwhile, while Lamda did manage to gather members for the squad, the numbers were subpar given their opponent. He had to forsake the thought of outnumbering their opponent. In the end, he barely left with ten members in tow, and left behind dwarves to protect Rina. They couldn't lose her at the current juncture.

It was a grim situation undoubtedly, however without Rina, even that silver glimmer of victory would fade away.

While one decision was painfully made, the troubles had yet to be cleared. Their next decision was how to split the ten elite members among Class-5, Class-51, and Class-12's base. And he couldn't skip on it.

The long, internal struggle continued to draw inside Lamda as he ran, but even the moment to make his decision appeared soon before his eyes. They'd close up to Class-5.

It was impossible to contest against Class-1 and Class-8 unless they'd cooperation of four classes, hence the choices must be made. The fall of even one class would be akin to removing one of the four legs of the chair.

How could they afford to lose their firepower then? Lamda contemplated issuing much of their members toward Class-51 as Brave was most likely pursuing their weakness. But if Class-5's—also Lamda's class—base fell down, they would go down with it. In that scenario, Class-51 would lose either way.

And Class-12's base was another cornerstone due to Akemi and her class challenging Class-1's main force. If Akemi and the team were eliminated, Rina and the rest of the members would have no way to defend themselves. Plus, the one heading toward them was Lana and Ester, the advanced job holders. This was yet another point where they couldn't afford to skimp on their support.

Just as Lamda was at his wit's end, Tomoyo made her proposal.

"I will handle Class-12. I only need one more person along with me."

"What? Surely, it's not going to be that easy......"

"Well, Class-12 would be able to have reinforcement from 2nd Fortress. So, come and help us as soon as you're done with Class-51 aid, Lamda."

"!!"

The words made Lamda realise he apparently had been hesitating because he wasn't sure if he could bring down Brave. The stangant thoughts finally started to spin proactively. She is right. We just need to defeat Brave, and secure Class-51, then they'll be free to help out Class-12!

"Y-yeah! Right, that's true! I also have my advanced job! It's only a battle with Brave. Alright, then, Tomoyo, I leave Class-12 in your hand! I will definitely make it to you after taking down Brave!"

"Ah, but if you think you can capture Brave, please do so, 'kay?"

"As if it would be easy!"

"Hahaha."

Regardless, Tomoyo's phrase somewhat melted the nervousness from the air. Lamda gave his regard internally for yet another help. Right, what if he couldn't defeat Brave? They could also try to immobilize him from fighting.

With that conclusion, he turned to his adjutant Hyudo.

"Hyudo!"

"Present!!"

"You bring two members with yourself to support Class-5! I will take four with myself and deal with Class-51's situation, and then aid Class-12 once this is settled! Tomoyo, you act along with other members to earn us some time! Remember, everyone, we can make it out as long as we weather this ordeal!"

" " " "Let's do it!!" " " "

And thus, the alliance had also settled on its move. Hyudo left for Class-5, while Tomoyo and Lamda, along with remaining members, bolted toward the north.

While there were some apprehensions, Lamda steeled his mind to tackle Brave with everything he had. He also had only two MP Hi-Potion left, and decided to use them as well. He's going to burst without holding back!

He shouldn't be afraid here. If the rumours were correct, their two guilds, «Eden» and «King Absolute», apparently shared the same progression, falling a bit before they could step into the advanced dungeons.

In that case, he had a chance. Besides, they also had the Ekatrina's final trump card.

With a renewed determination, Lamda dashed toward Class-51.
