Chapter 49 - Time To Kick Those Invaders!
Akkar proudly raised his weapon after he finished his speech.
Everyone also followed suit as they howled with all their might lifted their weapons in the sky.
"Ohhhhh!!!!!!!"
"Let's gooooo!!!"
"Commander Akkar!!"
"Let's win this!!"
"Let's f*cking kill those mother f*cker!!"
The people watching Akkar's stream also felt the hype. As they also flooded the chatbox with support.
"An outstanding speech!!"
"Give us a great battle!!"
"Can't wait for this!!"
At the same time, Akkar's viewers are also increasing at an unimaginable speed.
Meanwhile, Alex raised her fist while Ezekiel raised his staff. As they also got caught up with the momentum. Akkar's speech just made everyone's blood boil in suspense.
"He's good..." Alex mumbled. As she noticed how almost everyone's eyes looked more enthusiastic. They looked more willing to defend this village than before. Earlier, their eyes looked like they lost all hope. And the only goal in their minds is to survive the one-hour duration. Yet, in just a short amount of time, Akkar changed all of it.
"He is too good..." Ezekiel nodded, agreeing with Alex. "He increased our chance at winning in just a small amount of time." What Akkar did at the moment is so astounding that he has no words to say.
"I don't think we can even do that... Raising an army's morale with a speech that he probably just came up with within a minute." Alex knows that one of the most crucial things in war is the morale of your soldiers. Morale can determine how the flow of the battle goes once your soldiers lose even an ounce of the will to fight. Your enemy can end the fight in a blink of an eye.
Morale is also one of the lessons she doesn't understand when she studied the arts of war. She doesn't understand how to raise a person's morale in a short amount of time at all. She thought that she wasn't mature enough to know how it works. Yet observing Akkar, she noticed that she lacks the charisma that Akkar is radiating right now.
His charisma is so great that even if you don't know him, you will still trust him your back. Or you will still follow him, believing that everything will be fine as long as he guides you. On the other hand, Alex is having a hard time for people she knows to trust her. It is because she always prefers to solve problems with brute force.
"I think we have a chance to last more than an hour..." Ezekiel mumbled as he evaluates Akkar as a great commander. A commander who can turn the tides of a battle with his presence alone.
"We will win this," Alex exclaimed with confidence. Akkar's speech is so great that it also affected her morale.
Meanwhile, immediately after the crowd settled down a bit. Akkar took this chance to lay out the plans they have talked about earlier. As he urged Elder Jin to speak up after he finished gathering the player's attention. "Everyone listen!! The village chief has something to say!!" Akkar then moved backward while Elder Jin moved forward.
"I know everyone already knows me, so I'll keep it short... If we win this fight, a massive amount of rewards awaits our victory. For every goblin you kill, you will receive five silvers. Your guardian spirits will record your kill count to avoid deceptions. And that reward is just a small part of the huge reward waiting for you in the end."
"So please... please... save our village..." Elder Jin exclaimed as he kneeled on the ground.
Elder Jin's speech may not be as great as Akkar's, but his pleading gained the sympathy of everyone. Alex thinks that a lot of people will feel empathy towards older people as they see their parents in them. Elder Jin's pleading even further increased the morale of everyone.
"Don't worry, chief. We will slay those ugly green-skinned monsters!!"
"We will protect the village with all we got!!"
"For the village!!" A player chanted as he raised his weapon while everyone followed suit.
"For the village!"
"For the village!"
At the same time, two village guards immediately helped Elder Jin stand up. Then Akkar switched with Elder Jin's position once more. As he deemed the moment as the right time to unveil what they will do from now on.
Seeing Akkar moving forward again. Everyone slowly settled down on their own while they waited for Akkar to speak up.
"This is going to be a hard battle..."
"But nothing we can't handle... The first thing we need to do is to know what is our different roles." Akkar needs to form a formation first to avoid being unorganized later. He doesn't want his soldier die from a friendly fire.
"Tanks move to the front!! Melee fighters move to the back!! Range users move to the right!! Healers and support move to the left!!" Akkar shouted with a little intimidation in his voice so that everyone will move faster. "Faster!! We are running out of time!!" Akkar clapped his hand as he urged everyone.
Alex walked backward, but unexpectedly she notices Ezekiel following him. "Why are you going here? Healers are on the left side..."
"They will probably make an analysis base on how many healers tanks and range players we have. And if I stay there, it will only confuse them with their formation since I will be following." Ezekiel answered as he guessed Akkar's intention.
"Hmmm, make sense, Alex nodded."
After everyone settled on their corresponding places. Alex can't help but notice the unbalanced ratio of roles. Around 5% are supports and healers, which is one of the worst-case scenarios in a war if there are only a few. Healers and supports are the ones that will help them sustain and last longer. In comparison, around 20% are tanks which is good because they will be their walls in the battle. They can't stay inside the walls. Because their main force is the melee fighters that have 25% of their numbers. And the range users with 50% of their forces.
Akkar was also disappointed, seeing that the healers and supports are very few in numbers. He already expected that there would be very few healers and supports. After all, not too many people like to be weak support. A lot will always prefer to be in the limelight with a lot of kills.
Yet Akkar hid his disappointment. Because it will also affect everyone if the commander loses some hope.
"We will all be fighting in the plains. Because we need to make the goblins focus on us alone. It is to avoid chaos inside the village that may endanger the villager!"
"Our walls will be our 200 tanks and the 200 village guards. Trust them that they can brace through the impact of the rampaging enemies. Then we will let our range attackers freely hit the enemy in the back. At the same time, the melee attackers can freely fight as they please. As long as they don't go too far in the formation to protect the range attackers."
"That's all, let's do our best and bring VICTORY!!" Akkar chose the most basic formation. Because they don't have the time and familiarity with each other to have a very complicated plan.
"VICTORY!!"
"VICTORY!!"
"VICTORY!!"
Alex smiled as she started walking towards the gates. "Let's go, time to kick those invaders back to where they came from!!"
