8 C8- Are you for real

[A/N: why are you guys like this, you can't even help an author out with you hard earned POWERSTONE, it does not belong to you]

Meaning every other some time guild within Mahin will pay a small amount of coin to be allowed to establish it guild with the village.

The rest of the players were either newbies who had yet to have the battle power to enter a large village or talk less of a town.

Marching towards the army of Mahin village was a total of 13,000 soldiers who wore black and red armor, they looked nothing like a bandit group.

"Boss I don't think this is a bandit group, check their armor color isn't that the color of the Ikale Kingom" Always smiling the vice guild leader of Friend zone said, bringing his leader's attention to the army, off course Playfulness immediately remember the color, indeed it was the color of the Ikale kingdom.

"Are they moving to conquer this village, I thought the Ilaje Commonwealth and the Ikale kingdom signed a non-aggressive treaty, I was part of the guild leader present at the signing, did something happen" Playfulness questioned.

The army that was marching towards Mahin was the army of the Ikale kingdom, a kingdom belonging to the people of Ikale, for some yet disclosed reason the two kingdoms hated each other, players had tried to get to the bottom of the issue but still had no luck.

The good thing was that the Ikale kingdom was not as populous as the Ilaje commonwealth, most of the zones in the Ikale kingdom had very high restrictions on the quest to own a zone in any part of their kingdom, and normal quest for zone ownership were usually a long and tedious one, it was a miracle that a small guild like Friend Zone could even pull it off, although they spent a lot of money, time and energy before they could fulfill the quest objectives.

"Men of Mahin village, marching towards us are the dogs and cowards of the Ikale Kingdom, they intend to eradicate us from the surface of the earth but will you stand for that, will you all stand and watch as they kill our people, they intend to attack us when we least expected, even when the two kingdoms are under a non-aggression treaty, we will delay them as long as we can for reinforcement to arrive, no matter how long it takes" The guard captain said, she was a muscular woman who stood at around 6 feet.

"Hail the captain" the guards shouted in unison, they slammed their weapons against each other.

As the guard captain continued to address her people, Rounds was watching everything dumbfounded, he couldn't believe that on his first day in-game he was going to be fighting in a war, he had no idea how to even use his bow, should he just leave and grind somewhere because fighting in a war with practically no fighting experience is the same as suicide.

He decided to cheek his bow stats.

[Weapon information]

>>Name: Wooden bow

>>Grade: Living weapon[Has no definite grade as it will continue to evolve along its user]

>>Attack: 23

>>Defense: 18

>>Bow skill: Aim assist[Lvl:0], True Aim[Lvl:0]

[Description: an unimpressive wooden now crafted by ????? As a gift to the goddess Morimi, as a living weapon it devours other bow-type weapons to increase its stats] [Note:Cannot be unequipped]

>>Aim Assist[Lvl:0]: helps the user in aiming, the higher the level of the skill the better the assist range.

>>True Aim[Lvl:0]: Once a target is aimed at nothing can prevent the arrow from reaching its target [Note: depending on the battle power of the target to the user].

At this point Rounds wasn't even that surprised by the bow skill as he had seen too many ridiculous skills since he entered the game, now he wasn't even sure maybe the information from the drive was that useful anymore 'I will just sell it, yes that would be better' he thought.

But now was not the time to think about such thoughts as the battle could start at any time.

Meanwhile a few meters away from where Rounds stood a group of players had taken notice of him, or they took notice of the Golden blindfold around his eyes.

"Why is that person in a blindfold, his he a unique NPC one of the players asked her friend, they were both new players who had joined the game late but they still enjoyed the game even.

"Maybe, but what is a unique NPC doing in a village like this" the other player responded, it wasn't unusual to find Unique NPCs around the world in different locations.

"Maybe he was called by the Baron because of the war" another player added.

While the players were guessing the reason for Rounds' appearance as they thought he was a unique NPC because most of the players present didn't have the inspection skill to check players and NPC's status so they could only guess, Playfulness had gone up to the guild captain.

"What is the meaning of this, why is the army of Ikale kingdom here to attack us, I thought we had a treaty with them" Playfulness questioned, during the earlier days of the game when his Guild became the official guild of Mahin village, he had the opportunity to follow the baron of Mahin village to the treaty signing ceremony along with other guilds leader and nobles of Ilaje commonwealth, so he couldn't understand why they were being attack now.

And to make matters worse, there was no notification or quest about the war, it was like the Ikale kingdom was trying to pull a fast one on them.

As the highest rank military personnel in the Village, the guild captain was also puzzled by the attack, she hadn't received any information from her higher-ups about any potential attack

>> Name: Olsen Graceborn [NPC]

>> Title: Leader of the Village Guard

>>Class: ????

>>Battle Power: 1500

>>Threat level: Small village

Apart from being the guild leader of [FRIEND ZONE], Olsen could be said to be the strongest NPC in the Village.

"I have no idea, guild leader playfulness I was also as surprised as you are when my Scouts reported a massive army marching towards this village," Olsen said

She continued "But don't worry guild leader playfulness, I already sent word to the capital requesting reinforcement, all we have to do is delay them as long as we can...," before she could finish her sentence a shadow figure rose from her shadow.

"Captain I bring bad news," the shadow figure said.

"Speak, whatever it is we can deal with it" Olsen replied with total resolve.

"There is a small number of savage beasts heading towards the west gate as we speak and a small number of Ikale kingdom soldiers are somehow controlling the beast," the shadow figure said.
