Aerial Warfare

9 PM on a weekday.

The typical quitting time overlapped, and the time when most of the personnel could access the game was approaching.

Based on this time, I started investigating whether the guild members would participate in the Watcher of Destruction raid.

Total number of connected guild members: 220.

Among them, 200 people were able to raid.

The remaining 20 expressed their regret, saying they couldn’t play the game for long.

“Hmm…”

The conference room in the guild hideout.

I sat in a plush chair and stroked my chin.

A warship cannot be operated alone.

I could drive it, but crew members were essential to use the various attack systems.

With a simple calculation, even if 200 guild members were grouped into 10 people and boarded a warship, only 20 warships would come out.

I saw it. More than 10 warships were smashed at once.

So, I needed more people.

“Iyap-nim. First, please investigate the warship grades internally within the guild.”

“Yes.”

As expected, Iyap is perfect for such detailed investigations.

I smiled with satisfaction, watching Iyap nod obediently.

“What should I do!”

Snow Mage was the one who raised her hand and shouted.

I had her sit as a guild executive, but there was no specific task to assign to her.

“Just wait for now.”

“Yes!”

The answer is always good.

I immediately opened the friend list and started writing messages to close guild leaders.

I wrote that I was planning to start a raid and needed many users to attend.

I didn’t specifically mention the items dropped by the raid boss.

For very important items, it would automatically switch to the gold bidding system, and other minor items were equipped with a system that would be distributed equally to all users.

The method of the raid leader acquiring the item first and then conducting an auction, as in the past, has disappeared.

When I thought about Deron’s ever-evolving appearance, a proud smile appeared on my face for no reason.

“The warship investigation is over.”

While I was talking with each guild leader, I heard Iyap’s voice.

Did he finish investigating the warships of so many people in this short amount of time?

As expected, it was like Iyap, who manages the raid and guild sheets.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Iyap nodded at my words and raised a semi-transparent window in front of me.

It was a table investigating the types of warships inside our Malrang Chewy Cow guild.

Warships from stages 1 to 5 are treated as small warships.

Most of the warships that can be produced cheaply belonged to this line, and about 60% of the guild members owned these small warships.

The next most common were medium-sized warships from stages 6 to 10.

In the case of medium-sized warships, 37% of the guild members owned them.

In the case of large warships from stages 11 to 15, only 3% of the guild members owned them.

I wanted to tell the guild members to make large warships, but I couldn’t because it cost a huge amount of gold.

“Hmm…”

To be honest, I didn’t think small warships would be helpful.

If I boarded warships that would explode with one flap of a fin, I would only lose my life along with the warship for no reason.

I adjusted the personnel composition and began to deploy guild members to warships of medium size or higher.

It’s a raid boss I’m seeing for the first time. Only a small number of confirmed patterns.

If my prediction is correct, he will definitely have a pattern of summoning elite monsters.

Karaken did the same, so my prediction should be correct.

So, I will arrange tanks, dealers, and healers appropriately on each ship.

There is no time. I have to move as quickly as possible.

We won’t be the only ones aiming for the field boss raid.

I frowned and coordinated opinions with numerous guild leaders.

As time passed, a guild emerged that clearly expressed its intention to participate.

The list of guilds that will raid with us was as follows.

[SquirrelThunder] – One of the Gal guilds that has been around for a long time, and the longest-running guild in the Deron Gallery.

The number of attendees is 250.

[Cheonpung] – One of the guilds that used to be allied with our guild, run by an ajussi named Jihak, and was still maintaining the guild’s lineage.

The number of attendees is 170.

[TurtleReachesTheSea] – The so-called Turtle Guild. The guild leader’s nickname is also Turtle. Like the Cheonpung Guild, it was one of the guilds that was allied with our guild. Now the guild is on the decline, and only 50 people are participating in the raid.

[SlowForest] – The guild to which Jupiter currently belongs, and a guild where very quiet users are active.

I had a slight relationship with the guild leader, so when I gave him a hint, he expressed his intention to participate with Jupiter.

The number of attendees is 10.

This is the limit of the number of people I could gather.

I sent a message to the insane ajussi of the Requiem Guild, but he replied that he would not participate and ended the game.

Because of his previous involvement with the Satan Guild, the guild’s image plummeted in an instant, and it seemed like he wasn’t active properly.

I also talked to the guild leaders of small guilds, but they all showed a step back.

Perhaps they were afraid of my saying that the warship might explode.

Thus, the Malrang Chewy [Temporary] Alliance was formed once again.

I got up from my seat and shouted.

“Guild members, assemble!”

It’s been a long time since I’ve been active as an alliance leader.

With an excited heart, I put on my pirate hat and ran out of the guild hideout.

“Ahem…”

In front of the guild hideout.

My heart starts to beat when I see the guild members lined up.

They are all the people who trust me and gathered, the Malrang Chewy Cow guild members who are willing to give up even their lives for my orders, looking only at me.

Of course, there was a condition that it was only in the game.

I put my hand on my waist and said to the guild members.

“Everyone, summon your warships and move. We’ve decided to meet the temporary alliance members in the rift of dimensions.”

I raise the corners of my mouth as I finish speaking.

In fact, I’ve been waiting for this moment.

A place where I can show off my, or rather Helena’s, stage 15 warship, Roar of Deathwing.

Where else can you create a place where you can naturally brag?

I offered a prayer of gratitude to the whale floating in space.

“Come forth!”

I raise both hands and shout.

A summoning spell differentiated from rides like Eureurang or Ppiyak.

The guild members’ attention is focused on the concise yet very well-organized appearance.

“Come forth…?”

“Did you need a spell to summon a warship?”

“He’s the guild leader-nim. Just pretend you didn’t hear it.”

“Shall we clap for him?”

I can hear everything.

I ignored the guild members’ words, coughed dryly, and shifted my gaze to the sky.

Immediately after that, a huge warship appeared with a flashing light.

Made of pure white dragon bones, it was the Roar of Deathwing, my and Helena’s joint warship.

“Wow…”

“Clap for him! What are you doing!”

“Waaaa!!!”

Did you see it? And were you impressed?

Riding a ride different from ordinary users.

That fact alone filled me with tremendous satisfaction.

“Hehe…”

Send more, more applause.

And send more gazes of envy.

I had the right to receive all of this.

“Yeona.”

“Ah, Helena.”

“What are you doing not getting on?”

“I, I’ll get on… a little later.”

“Hmm…”

Helena tilted her head at my answer and used Blink to move onto the warship.

“Guild leader-nim, aren’t you getting on?”

“Isn’t he telling us to clap more?”

“My arms are starting to hurt…”

I should move soon.

I turned around coolly and jumped onto the warship.

The overwhelming strength stat allowed me to jump dozens of meters in one jump.

Tadak-

“Heh…”

The landing was perfect itself.

It’s a shame that the guild members can’t see the appearance on the warship, but I wasn’t worried because I took a screenshot at the moment of landing.

If I change my IP later and secretly upload it to the Deron Gallery, I might be able to go to the popular posts.

I checked the screenshot and nodded with satisfaction.

If it goes up to the popular posts, the link to that post will naturally be uploaded to the guild talk room.

In other words, I can naturally brag about my cool appearance to the guild members.

“Hmm…”

I folded my arms and looked around the inside of the warship.

The guild members had just begun to board their respective warships, so not everyone had gathered yet, but the personnel who boarded this warship were as follows.

First, me, the main captain, and Helena, the vice-captain.

Snow Mage, who is a combat agent and is in charge of the warship’s bombardment.

Hwarang was also given the same role as Snow Mage.

The last person to board was Chloe, the healer.

Iyap boarded another warship.

Because he had a stage 15 warship that he made separately.

If Iyap’s warship stage was low, I would have had him board this warship and drive it.

It was truly a shame.

“Blood Demon King-nim! It seems like preparations are complete!!!”

Snow Mage shouts energetically.

She was wearing the same pirate hat as me.

As expected, Snow Mage was the only one who could match even these minor things without me saying anything.

I nodded with satisfaction and shouted.

“Set sail!”

I pull out the demonic sword stuck behind my back and shout loudly.

Immediately after that, the Roar of Deathwing begins to depart.

As it flapped its huge wings and moved forward, more than ten warships followed behind it.

Warships of at least medium to large size.

“Hey.”

Just before entering the rift of dimensions, Hwarang, who approached me, spoke to me.

“Why do you ask? You who share the same blood as I.”

“… What’s that again…?”

“State your purpose.”

“How did you buy this warship?”

Hwarang said that and tapped the floor of the warship with his foot.

“I, I gathered gold…”

“The raid season has just ended. I know and the raid members know that you spent gold buying equipment during that time…? Did you rob several gold rush carts or something?”

“N, no…?”

Hwarang opened his mouth blankly as if he had realized something at my answer.

Then he turned around.

His gaze was directed at the top of Deathwing’s head.

Where Helena was standing alone.

“You…”

“It’s, it’s half, you know?”

“Half?”

“Yeah. Half, I decided to pay half with Helena.”

“What the hell is that…?”

“This warship is in my and Helena’s joint name.”

“Joint…”

“Yeah.”

I nodded and glared at Hwarang.

When I thought about it, why was I having such a hard time?

What’s wrong with me spending my money and making a warship with Helena?

“Crazy bitch… is she going to write the house in joint name now?”

“Why the house?”

What’s wrong with the house?

The moment I tilted my head and asked Hwarang a question, Helena appeared between me and Hwarang with a flashing light.

It seemed like she had come quickly using Blink.

“Oppa.”

“Ah, Helena.”

“Did you do well on the exam?”

“Hmm… I did well… but because of the seniors.”

“You mean the order will be pushed back?”

“That’s right…”

“That won’t happen.”

“Oh… really? Wasn’t that the custom? The seniors first…”

“If the representative and director change, the custom will change too.”

What kind of conversation are they having?

It was a conversation where I couldn’t even guess what had happened between the two because important information was missing.

I frowned and stuck close to Helena.

“Congratulations?”

With those words, Helena grabbed me.

I looked back at Hwarang, who was left behind.

Hwarang, who had been reaching out as if he had something to say, shook his head as if it didn’t matter and turned away.

What secrets were hidden in the content of the conversation between the two?

So, I went up to the top of Deathwing’s head with Helena and carefully opened my mouth.

“What were you talking about earlier?”

“About what?”

“That thing about the representative changing.”

“You’ll find out if you wait.”

You’re not planning to tell me right now?

I frowned and turned my head.

At that moment, the large warship crossed the rift of dimensions and arrived in a splendid space.
