Your Commander-in-Chief – Chapter 209

I sat down on the floor, surveying the status of my teammates.

The Snow Mage was using her massive body to corner one of the Paladin Users.

Two knights were blocking the surrounding area while preventing the Paladin’s movements towards the corner.

If we could only stall for time, victory would be certain for us.

However, at that moment, the enemy Paladin Users began to abandon their team and charged forward.

Their target was our occupied territory.

“Stop them!”

The urgent shout from the Snow Mage prompted one of the knights who was pressing the attack on the enemy to turn and chase after them.

But it was a poor decision. With the pressure from three directions dissipated, the last remaining Paladin, who had been cornered, also broke free and dashed towards our occupied territory.

I frowned at the sight.

What a chaotic strategy. But for now, that was probably their best option.

I staggered to my feet and shouted.

“Only Snow stay back, everyone else chase the enemy!”

I couldn’t communicate with teammates far away, but Bisu would have definitely seen it.

The kill log that appeared in the top right corner.

He was someone who could make wise decisions.

He wouldn’t have started moving toward the enemy occupied territory with his slow Butcher character.

If I were Bisu, I would have turned back towards our occupied territory.

There was no need to take unnecessary risks.

Thus began the chase.

The Paladin Users started to coordinate their speeds.

There was a kind of warning aimed at the pursuing knights.

If they got too close, they would immediately change direction and charge at the knights.

The Paladin Users were running slowly.

Clearly stalling for time to regenerate the two dead Assassin Users.

Luckily, thanks to the Snow Mage, the central occupied area was steadily filling up thanks to the capture gauge.

I dragged my wobbly body up there.

Two heads are better than one.

“Blood Demon King!”

“Don’t come, hold your position.”

“Ah, yes!”

I was bleeding profusely from my entire body, but it would stop soon.

There was no need to worry about it.

How much time had passed? Finally, the central occupied area activated, and various system windows popped up.

I immediately started repairing my character.

The clothes torn by the sword returned to their original state, and the embedded blade disappeared from my body.

“Phew…”

A considerable amount of time had passed. The slowly retreating Paladins should have reached our occupied territory, and the dead Assassin Users should have revived by now.

Then, I would run.

Toward the enemy base!

“Snow! Please hold the center!”

“Ah, ahhh? Yes!!!”

A gasp of shock came from behind me.

I waved my hand toward the Snow Mage and charged forward.

As I ran, I thought. The ones who just revived are the fastest-moving Assassin characters in VRS.

If it were them, they could quickly join the enemy base through the shortcut.

The enemy Paladins moved as soon as the Assassins died without hesitation.

They clearly crafted a plan anticipating this situation.

Simultaneously, a message appeared in front of me.

[The enemy is attacking the occupied territory!]

It seemed the enemy Paladin Users had finally arrived at our team’s occupied territory and started fighting.

Thinking again, I reached a small log bridge leading to the enemy territory.

Running, I glanced around. Nothing caught my heightened senses.

Tap-tap—

With swift strides using my small body.

The long log bridge held my weight without shaking.

Thump-thump-thump—

As I neared the end of the log bridge, I noticed a thin line running along its length.

An extremely basic trap, but if I hadn’t watched my feet carefully, I would have undoubtedly tripped and fallen.

Below the log bridge, a fierce torrent raged.

If I had gotten caught in that trap, I would have been swept away and carried downstream.

I jumped lightly over the log bridge and escaped.

Finally, the third match began.

More viewers than ever came to watch the broadcast of Yeo’s match.

Although it was a short match, the dazzling performance she displayed was enough to captivate many.

Thus, the match began.

The enemy’s composition against Yeo’s team was quite bizarre.

They included two Assassin characters, which are weak in direct combat.

In that situation, the remaining three were all defensive Paladins.

Those who came to watch solely for Yeo were mesmerized by the strange character setup more than her character stats.

It was a combination rarely seen even in normal games, so it was natural for viewers’ expectations to rise.

The game started smoothly.

One of Yeo’s teammates switched from Viking to Butcher and slipped into the shortcut.

There were two Assassins on the enemy team. It was only natural to fortify the shortcut.

However, the enemy Assassins did not take the shortcut.

From the beginning, they started running amidst their NPC soldiers.

-Why would Assassins go center? 😂😂😂

-They clearly don’t think they can win. 😂😂

-Doesn’t the Blood Demon King’s team have one going for the shortcut? Then they should be at an advantage, right?

-Haha, the Samurai character is cute. 😂😂

-When the central fight starts, it’ll be 5 against 4.

As the chat filled up with various speculations from the viewers, time passed, and moments later, all faced each other in the center.

The three Paladin Users boldly showed themselves as they charged toward the occupied territory.

Meanwhile, the two Assassin Users remained hidden, not moving at all.

Yeo and her team fixated their gazes on the enemy Paladins.

This meant the enemy team’s strategy was working.

-Wow, they have no idea! 😂😂

-How do they not see it? 😂😂😂

-We can see it just because we’re observers. 😉

-Damn, that middle school girl Samurai is gonna get wrecked. 😂😂

-What noise does a middle school girl make when she falls?

And thus, the battle began.

Even after the first clash, the Assassin Users didn’t move.

They remained completely still even when their teammate was pushed into a dangerous situation.

It was as if they were pretending they did not exist.

At that moment, the small girl Samurai hiding behind the Butcher leaped out.

Her long black hair flowed as it spread around her.

[Attack!!!]

It seemed like a golden opportunity for Yeo, who was unaware of the Assassin Users’ positions.

She wasn’t wrong in thinking so, as long as the Assassin Users hadn’t headed for the shortcut.

The hidden Assassins finally began to move then.

However, only one of them lunged forward while the other kept their distance, perfectly concealing themselves.

Everyone thought that the small girl Samurai would have an Assassin’s blade lodged in her neck.

An attack coming from outside sight. There was no way to evade it.

Viewers watching the broadcast thought this.

In contrast, the users from Deron, especially those who had regularly watched the Blood Demon King fight, weren’t worried.

She had shown particularly strong performances against Assassin Users in Deron.

Therefore, they believed she would be fine this time too.

Amidst the two conflicting expectations, the enemy Assassin’s ambush finally began.

A shadow dashed out rapidly, swinging a blade toward the smaller girl.

Swish—

The wide swing of the solid sword carved a blue trajectory.

However, that sword never reached the girl’s neck.

Yeo abruptly hesitated and rolled on the ground without a second thought.

It was as if she had foreseen the future; she rolled out of the way swiftly and then rose to glare at the enemy who attacked her.

-Wow, how did she do that? 😂😂😂

-Did she know it was coming? 😂😂😂

-I could do that too! 😉

-Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo! 😂

As the VRS users marveled at Yeo’s judgment, the viewers from Deron nodded in agreement.

Deron’s Assassins had the skill of perfect concealment, [Stealth], but the Assassins in VRS did not have such a skill.

That’s why this situation felt so natural to them.

-Does that Assassin’s nickname even make sense? 😂😂

-Heavenly Flow Blood Kill Slash 😂😂 Must be a noob, right? 😂😂😂

-Ohhh, that’s hilarious! 😂😂😂

-Oh, even noobs don’t use stuff like that 😂😂

-Don’t Assassins die if their ambush fails?

-Why is that one not attacking?

The viewers’ questions were entirely reasonable.

After the failure of the first ambush, most assumed Yeo would immediately charge at the enemy Assassin.

However, those who could read the game’s situation better understood what Yeo was thinking.

She clearly remembered the other Assassin.

Her situational awareness was quick and calm.

Someone who possessed all the necessary qualities to play VRS.

Viewers watching the broadcast felt a pang of regret.

What if someone like her had been active in VRS rather than Deron? How different would it have been?

At that moment, the Heavenly Flow Blood Kill Slash revealed itself, hiding between the soldiers.

Seeing this, Yeo seemed to hesitate for a moment before dashing into the fray.

-????

-Is that the right decision?

-Didn’t she go after the Assassin?

-She’s gonna get wrecked! 😂😂😂

-She was doing well earlier, and now she just loses it?

Was it the right decision?

The viewers’ thoughts didn’t matter. They held their breaths, watching the outcome of Yeo’s actions.

The second hidden Assassin began to move then.

Finally, the target they had been aiming for entered amidst the NPC soldiers, prompting them to act.

The approach of the Assassins from both the front and back began.

Everyone watching thought.

This time, she was definitely going to die.

However, the unfolding scene was completely different from the viewers’ thoughts.

The rapid attack of the Assassin’s blade swung toward the girl’s body.

There was no way to evade it. She made no effort to dodge.

The small girl twisted her body and only evaded the trajectory of the attack.

Swish—

At the moment the cold blade sliced through the small girl’s body, she pivoted powerfully, creating a huge swirl of the large blade.

Whoosh—

From bottom to top, the white blade of the sword rotated upwards, and along with it, the red blood surged forth.

Enemy defeated yeon1111 → Heavenly Flow Blood Kill Slash

Enemy defeated yeon1111 → N.R-aisin

-?

-How did she think to counter that?

-Didn’t the Assassins just fail? Why didn’t they kill her?

-??????????

-That was crazy! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

-Wild isn’t needed here! 😂😂😂😂😂

-If she countered that, isn’t that proof that she knew the approach was coming?

-Haha 😂😂😂😂😂

-There’s just no words for this! 😂😂😂😂😂

-Why is the broadcast of the Deron origin more fun?
