Overgeared

Chapter 411

One hour before the start of the opening event, in the Korean team’s waiting room.

Peak Sword was pointing at 11 areas on a map of Tira.

“The target processing will be very crowded because everybody from 32 countries is participating.”

A huge 224 people were divided into 32 teams to compete. Enemies would be present in all directions.

“The team that stands out too much is likely to be attacked. We should first focus on securing terrain favorable to taking care of the targets.”

Yura’s marksmanship was optimized for targeting. But if she focused on destroying the targets, it was likely to raise the alertness of the other teams. Peak Sword decided that it wasn’t too late to start the target processing after leaving the center of the battlefield and finding a suitable spot.

Park Jonghwa checked the points on the map and was puzzled.

“Why are they hills and rivers?”

Park Jonghwa was a level 235 archer. It was 39 levels lower than the average level of the participants in the National Competition, but he was the top ranker in the Korean team after Peak Sword, Yura, and Grid.

He was a famous miser who always smoked and left his wallet at home when meeting friends, but he was quite good as an archer. From his point of view, the areas marked by Peak Sword weren’t very appealing.

“Wouldn’t it be better to occupy the highlands? It’s easy to shoot the targets and snipe enemies.”

“The higher the terrain, the more noticeable we are to other teams. We won’t be able to occupy it for long.”

Peak Sword realistically analyzed the power of the South Korean team. Apart from Grid and Yura, it was true that the average stats of the members was weaker than other teams. It was right to be extremely careful.

“…”

Park Jonghwa couldn’t say anything further. His pride was strong, so he didn’t like this opinions being ignored.

“It’s easy to build a barrier on a hill or river. Compared to the highlands, the competition to occupy them will be lower. I think it’s good.”

The level 233 tanker, Kyunghoon, responded positively to Peak Sword. The level 220 magician Sumin and level 191 tailor Jinhee also agreed.

Since the most important Grid and Yura had nothing to see, they decided to go with Peak Sword’s plan.

Peak Sword pointed to Area B among the 11 areas.

“This point is particularly good. It’s deep in the forest and optimized for people to act secretly. As soon as the target processing starts, we’ll move to the northern forest, avoiding the enemy’s gaze and securing Point B. Then Jinhee will unfold his defensive tent and…”

“Wait.”

The silent Grid finally opened his mouth. Everyone’s eyes focused on him.

“Is there a problem?”

Peak Sword glanced at Grid. Grid and Yura recommended that he act as the operations manager in this National Competition, but Grid had the final say on plans. This was the authority and responsibility of the captain.

“At first, I thought it was a good plan. But as I heard more, I noticed something strange.”

“What is strange?”

Peak Sword couldn’t easily understand Grid’s thoughts.

Grid told him.

“Avoid conflicts with enemies and build up a base before aiming for the targets? Can we get a gold medal with such relaxed actions?

“Gold medal…?”

Jonghwa, Kyunghoon, Sumin, and Jinhee looked surprised at the words. South Korea, the team with the lowest average level and power, they would win a gold medal at the team events? It was only a dream. They thought Grid was joking.

However, Grid was serious.

“Don’t we need to obtain 400 points first to win the gold? Why are you wasting time camping? Meanwhile, the other teams will raise their scores by a significant amount. Just focus on taking care of the targets from the beginning.”

Park Jonghwa frowned.

“Do you plan to start a full-scale war with the enemies? It’s just a path to self-destruction. Grid, you might be strong, but the four of us aren’t. With our specs, it’s impossible to compete 1-on-1 with the representatives from other countries. It’s a team event, so you have to consider the average level of the team members.”
