Chapter 28: Raising Team Level
Chapter 28: Raising Team Level
I moved forward to the nearest monster place. Our killing speed was very fast. We could kill one Elite monster in a few seconds. I took these fights very seriously.
I didn't have enough time to train myself thus I needed all the fights I could get to train. The only problem was these fights didn't last long.
I felt I needed a very intense fight to sharpen my spear. As long as my plan started to move forward, I would search for these Special Elites to kill.
I believe they would have thicker HP. After nearly an hour, those teammates returned from the village. Shin told them about our place.
In ten minutes they had come to us. They looked excited and happy. I looked at them and pictured my future generals and I too felt excited.
After a short speech with Shin, I interrupted their talk about what they got from the big market.
"Did you read the post about dragon spear resistance?"
"Sure. How can we miss something so important like that? Not only us, where all the players who we met at the village spoke about this post.
In just one hour, this post had exceeded ten million replies and it kept increasing."
I was surprised by these words. I didn't follow my topic.
I suppressed the urge to open the forums now and check the topic as there were more important things to do now. I couldn't force anyone to follow my lead, especially when I was going against these aristocratic families. I asked directly:
"What do you think of this move?"
"Wow, I love it. I was there when these two mysterious players attacked those 50 players' aristocratic team. It was a very high-level battle.
I recorded this battle and every now and then I replay it. This spearman player was really cool. That final skill of his made my blood boil."
I looked at Shin. He understood my meaning. This was a good start. She felt passionate about my resistance. That encouraged me to ask directly:
"There was a recruitment date and place in the post. Will you all participate in it?"
Goda said at once asking:
"If we participated in this resistance, will we be also part of your team?"
This team is my resistance Special Forces team dummy!
I looked at the other four and noticed their tacit agreement on his question. They were bothered by this point. It nearly made me laugh loudly but then I suppressed my laugh and said:
"Joining this resistance doesn't affect being part of this team. So what will you do? Will you join this resistance?"
They looked at each other and I noticed their relief and happiness. It seemed they wanted to join my resistance but they also wanted to be here.
That made me happy. It was really hard to develop trust between you and your subordinates.
"We will apply to join this resistance. Not only us but also all the players we know here will apply too."
I smiled and threw my bomb directly on their faces:
"You don't need to apply. I can approve of your request right here right now."
For seconds they looked at me with a silly expression. They didn't comprehend my words' meaning, or they might be afraid to believe it.
After these few seconds, they retreated with shocking expressions on their faces. I couldn't hold myself and laughed loudly as I said:
"Your looks are very hilarious. Yes, I'm that spearman who used the dragon skill. And Shin beside me here is the same swordsman. Now after you know our true identity, will you still want to join us?"
They kept silent while their eyes were showing shock and confusion. After a few moments Goda probed with great caution:
"Are you joking with us?"
I kept laughing wholeheartedly. Their looks were really funny. I answered him:
"I'm speaking seriously and not joking."
"But you are laughing crazily. Are you sure you aren't joking?"
I stopped my laugh at once. Was my laugh this bad?
I looked at Shin who looked away immediately. Yeah, it was this bad. I controlled myself then said in a serious tone:
"I'm not joking. It was I and Shin who fought these arrogant aristocratic players."
"Then you can prove it, right?"
I looked at him. He was very cautious. I liked his attitude. I didn't say a word but I raised my spear towards the nearby trees. I whispered softly:
"Dragon head skill."
Suddenly my whole air changed. Torrents of terror and might radiated from my body as the tip of my spear changed shape.
A big head of a dragon reaching 2 meters appeared suddenly in front of them. I looked at them and said solemnly:
"Do you want administration too?"
This time all of them retreated backward with panic looks. Goda hurried to say loudly:
"I'm sorry, I apologize to you, my lady. Please forgive me. Don't kill me."
Were you an idiot? How could I kill my future generals? I kept my skill active until the five seconds effect vanished.
"Now, I will ask only once. Are you willing to join my resistance?"
"Yes yes, we are willing."
I just gave them a short glance then I looked to Shin and said:
"They are now part of our resistance. You can proceed and give them these pieces of equipment so their information remains secret."
Shin sighed. He knew well enough the terror of my skill. He was afraid I would kill Goda. While I kept my silence and only watched them using this equipment, Shin was talking with them in a soft voice.
Although I couldn't hear him, I figured that he was trying to cool their nerves. I didn't plan to use this way to convince them, but that Goda asked for me to prove myself so I only had to use the skill.
I was known as the cold-blooded dragon spear lady in the community of players as Shin told me before. After they finished using their equipment, their names and levels and classes vanished from the team's chat.
There was only a question mark beside everyone's photo. That was a very satisfying effect for me. I looked at them like I used to look to my generals at my kingdom and said:
"Now let's get to the serious talk. Now you are officially part of my small resistance against aristocratic families.
From my Intel, these families are preparing a huge army to attack me and Shin. We have around ten days. In these ten days, I will try to reach level 10 and push you all to level 9.
As usual, your equipment and supplies are on us so you don't need to worry. All I want from you is to work hard and do every mission I request from you. Do you understand me?"
"Yes, madam."
Before I continued my speech, Mona asked:
"But why will they attack both of you?"
It was a question I didn't predict. I improvised rapidly saying:
"They wanted to take revenge on us. Their previous defeat was very humiliating."
That was what my mind thought of. It was really a good explanation as they started to discuss it within themselves with loud words. After I heaved a short sigh of relief I said:
"Now I will assign your first mission. You will accompany Shin to supervise in receiving players to our resistance. Shin will explain the rules of accepting players.
After you finish we will meet again and discuss the results. There are two main rules for the resistance force. The first rule is about the distribution of players inside.
You are now part of my main team. The rule here is to be level 4 at least. So in the next few hours, I will take you on a high-speed leveling till you reach level 4.
If you fail then you will be demoted and join regular teams. Now let's go."
