ShangriLa Frontier ~ Shitty Games Hunter Challenges Godly Game ~

Blitzkrieg.

It is a hasty tactic that has only been successful in the actual human history, and it revolves around “utilizing great firepower before the opponent can respond and exploiting the weaknesses of the enemy as fast as possible”.

The tactics taken by the Streamer’s Live Line coalition are simple and clear, as they tried to forcibly break through the green-colored army led by the Raid Monster “Singing Shrine Midori” who was approaching one of their main team, and then advance as it is. From the beginning, the cities of Thirteenth and the royal capital, Ninthhill, have a lot of defense equipment to protect the city from the threat of surrounding monsters, and for that matter, only Pioneer Players would face each other directly in this war, but the Raid Monsters were not a part of this consideration. They are a completely different case here..

「Go! Go! Aim for the enemy’s team in Thirdrema! Take advantage of the opening and make haste!」

「「「「OOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!」」」」

A leader who runs with more than one hundred Players following behind him, just like the Pied Piper of Hameln, Payabusa. The one who initiated the “PayaGaru” channel and came up with the idea of the Streamers’ Union. And right now he was doing everything in his power to raise the tension even higher. Even though he seemed like someone who would mainly use magic in combat, he was raising his sword high in the airA magical body that seems to be a magical profession dyed in green while raising the sword…… And then they clashed with the incoming army of green zombies and started to push their way forward through them all.

「It’s like a disposable piece of equipment, so let’s go through that zombie horde! But watch out for the more agile ones! They are exceptionally strong! This is Hollywood’s common sense!」

Blitzkrieg.

Its greatest strength is its breakthrough power by concentrating all of your resources and forces on one point. The armor, magic, or violence of bare hands wielded by more than one hundred elite Players will pierce the green forces like an arrowhead while defeating the army of green zombies that do not have much to say in case of durability.

This event imposes certain restrictions on the warp gates between cities. At the beginning of the war phase, the “history” that all Players have visited each city is deleted. Only by visiting the city again will it be possible to move with transfer magic once more.

The first thing the two camps did was to restore the information about each city in their “history”, including Players who have mastered transfer magic.

「For the time being, save everyone on the front line or in the city just before that, and then rush to Thirdrema! Everyone, are you ready……!? Alright, if we are ready, then press on! Rush ahead! ARE YOU READY!?」

「「「「「「OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!」」」」」」

Payabusa, who is a cheap person from the standpoint of a video streaming, is in front of all the rest of the Players, inspiring them to push forward. The tension of the battle of two kings gives birth to an unusual situation, one that is hard to find and experience in everyday life, and the excitement of breaking through the green zombie army at some cost is making things even more exciting.

An easy way to inspire people is to give them a sense of accomplishment and then present them with their next goal right away. Players march towards the goal of Thirdrema on the double, intending to capture it no matter the cost.

「You really are a bunch of idiots, huh? What’s good about Blitzkrieg when you know its coming? It’s just pure foolishness at this rate!」

Payabusa just kept on advancing. Pencilgton, who learned the news from a leak from the real world’s stream, laughed stupidly at the behavior that prioritized the fun and good-looking appearance of the streamer himself, but made a bitter face inside of her head.

(No, things are actually go too good for Payabusa…… Do some damage to the Raid Monsters, go around the city, and hit the Thirdrema with a sudden and powerful jab … There are many merits to a strategy like that, even if you were to lose in the end.)

Pencilgton doesn’t really think that the other party is really aiming only for the merits of the streaming, In the first place, if you think about the “Pros” as a streamer, it would be a problem if it was settled in a day or two.

(Thirdrema is the main opposing team here, and if you include the preparations, you can endure it with an easy victory for three or four days. In other words, they want to create a state of a stalemate……)

It’s boring to just fight a siege battle, which is known to those who watch the content that the streamers deliver.

And if so, there are few opinions that Payabusa could take here. For example, acting in a different way than usual, launching an attack on some other city, and there will always be Players who will follow the streamer no matter what, as long as they can be a part of the content being made. A certain amount of personnel will move just by being inspired by the streamers themselves, in other words, it is the best thing that a fighter could possibly do.

(Because there are people with transfer magic there for sure, the streamers can gather people virtually anywhere, and if you ask for a little cooperation, the Players will always agree to help, because refusing would be helluva awkward.)

There are multiple such streamers out there. Considering that as many fighter Players will appear in each area as long as there will be a streamer there, this can be said to be a strong enemy against the forces of Thirdrema, who cannot clearly control the entire Playerbase themselves. And above all else, there are some differences between the New King’s camp and the Former King’s camp, even though they might look the same on the outside.

「This Raid Monster is a battery type, isn’t it?」

The ridiculous Walking Green Shrine is a corps-type Raid Monster that constantly presses on the offensive. Instead of always being distracted, it has the advantage of being able to actively employ NPCs in the final defense line no matter what happens.

On the other hand, the large Great Red Wing that fired a flashy bombardment at Thirdrema is a battery-type Raid Monster that does not move from the top of the extinct volcano. Since it can hit the super firepower over time, there is some time to relax after the bombardment comes around, but there is a drawback that it is difficult to turn the NPCs into a defense line against a force like that.

(I don’t think that it can fire that instant death super-firepower beam in rapid succession, but…… if I was the one shooting something like that, I would also have some sort of defense measures. I would need to devote at least a portion of my strength for that purpose……)

To be honest, Thirdrema’s NPC strength is slightly inferior to the Knights of the New King. The main reason here is that there are fewer named NPCs than on the New King’s side. On the contrary, it only interferes with the Players’ capture of the Great Red Wing, and most of the NPCs are useless against the attack that can instantly vaporize everything it touches. After all, the city-class defensive barrier, which is incomparable to the defensive magic used by individuals, is treated as a defensive force below the toilet paper by that laser.

(Maybe we should delegate Rei-chan to deal with Raid Monsters…… Oh well, but still……)

Saiga-0 has an irreplaceable role in this battle, and although it can be dealt with in advance, it is by no means a force that can be ignored by one hundred normal Players.

「It’s a standard practice to defeat the boss character from your surroundings, in order to have way easier of a time.」

The invasion of Raid Monsters made the initial strategy useless, and even if it was repaired somehow, the threat would reverberate later. It’s a common problem for both camps. Then what sub-order should be given here to achieve the main order of victory in the war?

「How fast can YOU handle the Raid Monster, huh……!?」
