Axie Online

Chapter 49 - Become a Strategist

As soon as they received the news from Rudy, Dalon and the Raid troops who were camped in the forest immediately packed up their things and set off with their hearts pounding with excitement and worry.

"What about Rudy's condition, chairman? Is he okay?"

"You don't have to worry about that, Kynel. We'll see him in a minute."

"Al-Alright."

Once he got a reassuring answer from Dalon, Kynel tried not to worry too much about Rudy. Although it doesn't look very convincing, Kynel knows that Rudy can make Health Potion I which allows him to survive for a long time.

How did Dalon know Rudy's location, it was because of the Raid leader's special feature. In Axie Online the Raid leader is given more authority to oversee the Raid members, more precisely the leader of each party that is a member of the Raid.

The Raid Leader can detect the location of the party leader following the Raid through his gaze. On the left side of Dalon's view at this time were arrows and distances indicating where Rudy was living.

It was true what Dalon said, less than ten minutes the squad of players following this Raid could see a black-robed player sitting on a rock near a tree in front. He seemed to be sticking a black sword in front of him. Yes, it is Rudy.

Even though his figure was barely visible to the ordinary-if not meticulous eye, the distinctive aura of Rudy radiating outward made Raid players shudder slightly. Maybe Rudy's distinctive aura is one of the Bonus Skill abilities of Blackstar Sword, Black Form.

"Rudy!"

As soon as he saw Rudy sitting on a rock, Kynel rushed over to him as fast as possible followed by Ramsey and Gordon from behind. Hearing his name being called Rudy turned to the source of the sound and stood up pulling the Blackstar off the ground.

"Kynel, Ramsey, you guys came so fast."

"Of course, it was you who gave us the warning."

"I know it."

Rudy and Ramsey were seen chuckling a little, while Kynel was smiling quietly happy to know Rudy was okay. Even though he actually knew that this world was just a virtual world, it seemed that Kynel had been carried away by the worldly atmosphere. It can't be helped, this is Kynel's first VRMMORPG game.

"By the way, Ramsey, does your cat have to stick with you all the time?"

"Not really, why is that?"

"You know I don't like cats, right?"

"Why is that? He's so cute."

Ramsey took Gordon from his right shoulder and brought him closer to Rudy causing the silver-haired player to draw his sword forward.

"Get close to me with that cat again and I'll chop you up for food."

"Yes alright."

Hearing the threat from Rudy, Ramsey put Gordon on the ground. Even though their levels and statuses differed greatly, Ramsey was actually quite afraid of Rudy in the real world.

Once upon a time, someone mocked Rudy until he fell into the real world and it certainly made Rudy angry. After the incident, these people did not go to college for three days because they had to receive treatment at the hospital.

He certainly didn't want to feel the experience, he would rather retreat than ignite Rudy's emotions. Usually, women are scary when angry, this time Rudy will be very scary when angry.

"Hello guys, can we talk about a serious matter here?"

Unable to bear to see a joke in the middle of a fairly serious situation, Dalon stepped forward to interrupt Ramsey and Rudy's conversation. Of course, he knew that offending Ramsey was a bad thing, but for now, it was not so scary considering the video that Rudy sent some time ago.

Rudy and Ramsey stopped their joking and put on serious expressions as soon as Dalon mentioned Rudy's gruesome video earlier. They—Rudy, Ramsey, Dalon, and the other Raid squad party leaders immediately gathered in one place to discuss the matter.

"You're telling the truth, right?"

"Of course, what's the point of me lying to you guys?"

Getting a direct explanation from Rudy's mouth which was more detailed, Dalon and others couldn't say anything to comment on it. What they had just discussed was the leader of the monster troop that was dwelling in Viredeta's village, Raevolg.

Rudy revealed that Raevolg and the raid squad were just a small part of a big plan from a creature named Maen'ra to all party leaders. This is indeed just a crude conclusion, but the possibility of it being true is very high considering a direct speech from Raevolg himself when Rudy was in the village square of Viredeta.

Rudy also said that there were around 100 or 200 monsters with levels over 70 which would certainly overwhelm the Raid troops later. The level of the party leaders in this Raid army itself was the highest at 58, it was clear that their chances of losing were greater than their wins.

“This is just a suggestion from me, Ramsey will take care of Raevolg and a few dozen of those level 70 monsters.”

"Why me?"

Ramsey, who joined their discussion meeting, looked a little confused and didn't understand the flow of the meeting that was being followed. Rudy and the other party leaders patted their foreheads one by one while shaking their heads slowly.

"You're the highest leveled player among all of our troops, isn't an opponent of the level around 100 a match for you?"

"Oh, that's right. All right, I'll be your trump card!"

"Fortunately he's a bit stupid."

Hearing Ramsey's reply, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Rudy. They know that Ramsey is a little stupid, but they are grateful because he can easily accept such a big and heavy role without thinking about the consequences or strategy of fighting and war later.

That's right, Raevolg has a level of 100s which can destroy the balance of war later. Fortunately, the Raid troops had Ramsey who was a level over 100 players. Even though he was alone, they believed Ramsey could overcome Raevolg and dozens of elite monster troops consisting of those level 70's monsters.

"Rudy, I think you should be our strategist."

Hearing Dalon's words, Rudy and the other players who attended the meeting were shocked. He was indeed surprised, but Rudy was able to calm himself quickly so he didn't look so surprised.

"Me? Why?"

"You're the only one who saw the contents of the village and fought head-on with crowds of monsters whose level even surpassed your own. People with first-hand knowledge and experience are the ones to fill this role."

For your information, Rudy also shared his experience of being surrounded by high-level monsters in Viredeta village there. Even though he didn't manage to kill many of them, at least Rudy still knew how to fight, techniques, strategies, strengths, and abilities of the opponent.

Rudy began to set his sights on the other party leaders who for some reason agreed to what Dalon had said. Getting everyone's approval, Rudy sighed heavily as he closed his eyes for a moment.

"I have two conditions that you must fulfill for that."

"What's that?"

Without further ado, Rudy immediately conveyed the conditions he meant to all the players who attended the meeting. The party leaders-including Dalon and Ramsey were surprised to hear Rudy's terms, but no one objected.

And that's the story of how Rudy became a strategist for this Raid army.
