Versatile: Alternate World

With the new help we are getting in the form of the dragon now guaranteed in the final battle, we returned to the village to complete the final assortment and all the final preparations left before we launch our first and final attack on the Church. It might not be involved in our final battle, but we never know what those guys might be thinking just to stop us from fighting, therefore, preparation is a must.

As for me, I decided to craft a lot of weapons and armor for everyone including the players. Harmless Sparrow and Sigma are excluded as they owned the best armor and weapons they can equip at the moment and it would be much better to make a stronger weapon and armor for them once they feel their weapons and armor are now doing an underperformance than they should have.

I did all of this for free. I do not charge for creating stuff like this. Unless I am doing this for business, I would rather use these chances for creating items and raising my mastery in my ex job rather than make more money. As of now, I don't have any idea where to spend the amount of money I have at the moment so instead of earning money, my problem is where to spend them. I already have plans on what to purchase in the future once they are ready to be bought and I already have them noted mentally and yet I still have plenty of money to spend. Even if I don't work for my entire life, the money I have will suffice until the next generation.

While I am busy making the final part of the weapon the katana for Tatsumaki, Tsuru, who was working on the wall barges into my little workshop.

"Bad news, Sir Bladeheart!"

Wiping off the grease on my hands, I went to meet Tsuru who seemed to have rushed from the wall up to here. At the moment, Sigma and Harmless Sparrow have logged out after the battle with the dragon. Compared to me who have the tenacity to play long enough, the two are not that tenacious in playing in very long terms unless a quest that they needed to keep playing for long enough presents, they would rest in the real world.

"What is going on?"

"Enemies! We have enemies outside the fort! It seems like multiple players are currently deployed outside!"

I changed from my work clothes to my battle clothes after hearing that and was ready for my Versatile Weapon.

"It looks like they are finally attacking us. Who are currently online aside from us?" I asked.

"Tatsumaki and Popo should be online as well but I think they just departed to finish up a quest and the others are offline. It seems only the two of us are currently the only players left to defend this place."

"Only the two of us huh?" the numbers are not in our favor of us if that is the case and we cannot call Tatsumaki and Popo to return and help us in time.

When we arrived at the wall, some of the soldiers are also there monitoring the movement of the players.

"What's the status?" Tsuru asked one of the men who is currently using the telescope to look at the movement of the enemy.

"They are still not making any actions at us but I can see them doing some preparations and movements with their tools. Although it's dark and I can't see it properly here, I can guess in the silhouettes of those machines they are using and moving around to be siege equipment, Since our village is now walled, I can think of what they are planning on doing after this."

"Looks like they are not yet ready to perform their attack which means that is a good thing for us," I borrowed the telescope and take a peek at it myself. Just like what he just said, the tools they are using are siege equipment. They are planning on taking down the walls though I can see a few siege equipment that helps in scaling the walls as well.

Not too far from the area is Kazuki, or should I say, Kaisar commanding the troops here and there. It seems he is now the leader or the commander of this operation which means this is already a full-blown battle we are gonna expect.

"Are our weapons not yet ready to be mounted on the walls?" I looked at Tsuru who was tasked to do that.

"They are ready to be deployed anytime. You can just tell me when to materialize them and we can start shooting at them while they are still preparing."

"Then that's good. Anyways, Tsuru. How are your abilities in fighting a group of players?"

"Uh...I never fought multiple players on this scale but I defeated at least a group composed of 4 people before in a 1 vs 4 fight after they tried to PK me. What of it?"

"Then that means I will be asking you to also help me with the battle later on. We will be fighting with only the two of us against these players with the support of the cannon barrage. If you don't like the sound of that, I can just go and fight by myself. What's your call?"

"Huh? You mean, we attack them with just the two of us? Like how you fought a guild all by yourself in a guild war?"

"Yep, something like that."

"Yes! I am in! Don't worry about me. If fighting against players like this with you is good to go, then we shall beat the living sh*t out of them!"

Hearing this, I grinned as I can see myself liking to play with this guy in wrecking players.

"Good.  Then, prepare for yourself. We are gonna be going to a battlefield. As a gift, here, take this finished cannon weapon. I don't know if the stats are bad compared to your current weapon but if it is better, go and use it."

I then toss a cannon to him and he catches it with his hands. It's heavy for me but for players who match the weapon with their class, the weapon is not that heavy so catching it wouldn't be a problem.

"HOLY SH-" Tsuru almost cursed out when he opened the stat panel of the weapon but he covered his mouth to stop himself from cursing. He immediately equipped it though which means the stats it is better than his current one.

"Thank you very much for this!"

"Yes, yes. Now, prepare, I can't just let you go dying there, alright?"
