"Underestimated Sagittarius too much!" Robby tiger 0001 peeked his head over the city wall, watching the battle unfold around his city.
That person came to tell him that he didn't need to do anything, just stay hidden in the city and let them handle it.
Initially, Robby tiger 0001 saw the countless troops, far more than Sagittarius', and shouted mockingly towards Sagittarius' fleet: serves them right!
What goes around, comes around!!
Thinking they're the greatest, now faced with united forces, they must surrender.
This is the power of unity!!!!
Now, even though Sagittarius's forces were fewer, it seemed they were on the verge of winning. Apparently, unity was... a failure.
Robby tiger 0001 was deeply worried. Of course, after Sagittarius finishes off Shamshir and Raspberry Pie, it would surely be his turn.
Under pressure, there was no way Robby tiger 0001 would just sit and wait for death without doing anything.
"Everyone, open the city gates and fight them!" Robby tiger 0001 shouted spiritedly.
But the guild members of the city of Rigel, who had fled when Shamshir previously showcased his prowess, asked sharply,
"Uh, how exactly does the guild leader plan to fight?"
"The guild leader ordered the destruction of the port and moved all the ships to other shores."
....
Robby tiger 0001 just remembered but still stubbornly insisted!
"Then swim out!!" Robby tiger 0001 roared. He refused to be forced to kneel before those blackheads when they took his city again like last time.
"Are you serious, guild leader?!!"
"Master," Mina called out, causing Sagittarius to turn around.
Mina pointed towards Rigel City 2, which had opened its gates, and a number of troops were swimming towards their forces, heading for the rear lines of the army.
"Hey! What are they thinking?" Sagittarius exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.
Mina's brain also couldn't comprehend why the other side would do such a thing. "There's no logical reason. I really can't understand why they are doing this."
Sagittarius didn't say it aloud, but it was the last desperate struggle of every human, with no other options left.
"Show them some mercy, then."
Mina acknowledged. In Rigel City 2, there were about ten thousand troops, but only three to four thousand came out, and Sagittarius had forces waiting to welcome them.
Unlike Shamshir, Sagittarius was competent. He had set up the rear lines, and Mina ordered the "fishing" to start.
An archer aimed at a male player swimming freestyle.
Thunk!... He sank and vanished into a flash of light.
That simply ended it.
This was why Mina couldn't understand why Robby Tiger 0001 sent troops out. The four thousand soldiers were gradually picked off; none of them could reach the icy shore.
Naval warfare requires vehicles. From the past to the present, no one has ever won by swimming into battle.
This war lasted quite a long time.
In the late afternoon, Sagittarius's army managed to force Shamshir to flee by boat to the northeast. Then, submarines continuously took down one ship after another, sinking them into the sea.
The father, who had brought his wife and daughter to fight in this war, was so exhausted that he collapsed onto the ice floor.
The mother was not much different.
The fact that all three of them survived up to this point was truly remarkable, demonstrating their great talent for avoiding stray bullets in war.
Melon-chan stood watching the giant golems, each with a sword on its back, now totaling three. They stood still in front of her. As she looked at the wreckage strewn across the area, her admiration for Sagittarius grew stronger.
"He's really good at planning battles like this."
Unlike her parents, who were exhausted because their MP was depleted and also from the strain of controlling characters for a long time, she managed her MP well. Plus, being young, she wasn't as drained from long gameplay as middle-aged adults.
Melon-chan looked at the golem that Sagittarius was about to board.
Since the war wasn't over yet, Melon-chan exchanged a few words with her parents, then walked over to Sagittarius, volunteering to be the pilot.
If not commanding battles, attacking alone, Shamshir was considered the best player in the Asia-Oceania server without dispute.
Therefore, even if an army of 500,000 was defeated and vanished, leaving only dropped items everywhere, he still managed to escape!
He fled toward Rigel City 2...
At this moment, Robby Tiger 0001 did not want to welcome this skinny man.
Just one of him alone was enough trouble, and adding this troublesome person would surely lead to the downfall of his Rigel City.
But all he could do was grumble to himself. How could he possibly stop Shamshir?
Standing in front of him was the number one player of the server.
Shamshir stood on the city wall with a very grim face. He was now completely surrounded with no way to escape front, back, left, or right.
The ice floor slowly expanded as three giant golems approached the city, and they could do nothing.
When within shouting distance, Sagittarius ordered the golems to stop.
Sagittarius, on the golem's shoulder, laughed mockingly and said to the desperate Shamshir,
"You might think your plan was flawless. You took my probation test and immediately acted that afternoon. But there was a noticeable point... Heh heh, Robby next to you attacked the Chandra City before. Do you think I wouldn't check before sending you to cause trouble... Normally, this guy isn't in his city much, constantly expanding his territory on surrounding islands. And you, working so quickly, met Robby immediately, coordinated a city siege plan, and reported back to me swiftly..." He gestured around them. "See? My suspicion was right on."
Before ending this war show, Sagittarius had to make an excuse so the other side, whose name was on a letter, wouldn't suspect he had prepared so intricately because of knowing about their existence.
Which matched the strategist's hypothesis, who was conveniently eating while talking.
It would likely pass.
Shamshir believed wholeheartedly, understanding he had been tricked from the start! Trying to suppress the rage of being deceived, but in the end, he could not. Shamshir pointed at Sagittarius and shouted, "Even though we are from the same nation, I won't share the world with you anymore! Watch out! Don't walk alone in the dark, Sagittarius!! You'll definitely lose levels!"
Sagittarius pointed to himself in confusion, asking aloud, "You set a trap for me to attack Rigel City with a half-million army. But when you knew I caught on and turned the tide, you act like I did something wrong, like a dog biting the owner... You started it, don't forget. What kind of logic is this?"
In fact, Shamshir was only good at PK. In mere words, facing a few sentences from Sagittarius left him speechless. So he could only shout, "If you're so great, come PK one-on-one! Dare or not!!!"
Sagittarius scratched his head again. "With your max level, how could I possibly win against you?" Then he looked up at the sky and said, "Are you sure you've thought it through about announcing you'll target me?"
Shamshir listened and became even more paranoid.
Sagittarius continued, "Silence means acceptance, right?" Then he cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted, "From now on, any city lord who shelters this top player, if I find out, I'll pay you a visit!"
"Hey!!!" Shamshir almost screamed. This was a thug tactic right out of his neighborhood.
To that extent!!! Of course, Shamshir knew that there must be a live broadcast now, and hearing this... news would spread across the entire server.
Shamshir wanted to cry. From now on, this character couldn't make a living anymore.
Being targeted by a metropolitan city lord alone was heavier than all the guilds or clubs that targeted him before, incomparable!
Guilds or clubs didn't have much territorial power compared to city lords.
As Shamshir thought
Shamshir has now become a social outcast in the online world.
Comments under the live broadcast clip:
Comment 1,246,842: "You idiot! Mustering forces to attack the city lord with just two people, do you think you can win? Dream on!"
Comment 1,246,843: "There are always people testing their luck. This time he brought in half a million... But so what if he's the best player? As soon as Sagittarius makes an announcement, look at the boards on various websites. Now, almost all the city lords in the Asia-Oceania server have declared that they won't let him into their cities."
Comment 1,246,844: "This decree probably extends to NPC cities too."
Comment 1,246,845: "Other NPC city lords will likely do the same."
Comment 1,246,846: "Shamshir, you might as well delete your character and start over."
Comment 1,246,847: "LOL"
Comment 1,246,848: "What are you laughing at above? Serves Shamshir right, eh?"
Comment 1,246,849: "Not at all. Look at the live stream. They cut to a clear shot. I saw it earlier."
It was a scene where Sagittarius was arguing fiercely with Shamshir until spittle flew everywhere. The players of the Rigel city defense guild were all focused in one place, which was the south city wall. Meanwhile, at the north city wall, the romance of Sakura guild players were quietly scaling the city wall.
Comment 1,246,850: "Hey! No wonder you're laughing. It turns out Sagittarius is still planning his strategy, using himself as a decoy to make capturing the city easier."
Comment 1,246,851: "But no chance to see Gundams rampaging through the city. Those three Gundams were just acting like King Kong, smashing ships earlier."
Comment 1,246,852: "Haha! Shamshir, you should go make merit. How many times have you fallen into Sagittarius's trap today? Starting from that spinning ship, haha."

Even though the giant golem didn't show much power, judging by the number of comments, if you include those who didn't comment, there must have been tens of millions of IDs watching the live broadcast. This shows how much the public is paying attention to this battle.
From now on, there will surely be analyses and reviews of the Battle of Rigel Island, Part 2.
