Chapter 61: Winning by Outwitting the Enemy
Hang Yu noticed.
The players had summarized their experiences.
They had beco more cautious.
There were a considerable number of Yellow Turban Headless Fiend Soldiers in the core pollution zone, and even more new types such as Fiend Warlocks and Fiend Cavalryn, with the latter two being the true culprits behind the last devastating defeat.
In terms of overall strength, the Fiend Cavalryn were the strongest.
However, in terms of threat, the Fiend Warlocks were the deadliest.
The players realized that the key to victory lay in whether they could kill the Fiend Warlocks at the first mont; otherwise, even soone as well-equipped and with the highest Iron Armor skill level like Ye Li ng would not be able to withstand the relentless assaults of the Yellow Turban Rune Wolves.
Black-Eyed Rui Ge and others received good news from the mouths of other players.
The Skill Tower had updated with brand-new skills!
They hurriedly went to check the situation.
【Shadow Step】, a green-quality skill, learning requirents: 22 points in Agility, 10 points in Will, initial learning cost: 1000 Essence 800 Contribution Points.
【Lord’s Aura】, a special skill, each use costs 100 Contribution Points, boosts Health, Mana, and all attributes by 15% simultaneously, lasting for two hours.
The first was a skill stone that Hang Yu had obtained from the Fate Chest in He Ting Village.
After embedding the skill stone into the Skill Tower, he was the first to learn it himself and imdiately leveled it to the maximum, gaining a permanent 15 Agility, greatly boosting his strength once again.
The second was not an actual orthodox skill but a skill that Hang Yu had packaged using his Lord talent; it could be obtained without any cost but could not be cultivated or upgraded, charging per use, fair and honest.
"That's aweso!"
"Shadow Step should be sothing similar to the Yellow Turban Headless Fiend Soldiers' technique."
"Although the learning conditions include both Agility and Will attributes, the required values aren't too high; Rangers above level 5 can train it!"
"With such a divine skill,"
"The success rate of tactical execution would be much higher!"
This was obviously a skill suitable for Rangers to train.
Its appearance allowed Rangers to truly possess assassin-like attributes.
As for the Lord’s Aura, it was even more of a super divine skill, capable of basically offsetting the negative debuffs of the core pollution zone; although each use consud Contribution Points, it could turn the tide at critical monts.
Lone Boat and Black-Eyed Rui Ge imdiately learned Shadow Step.
Although there were two other Rangers who had reached level 5 and had the attributes to learn the skill, they lacked enough Essence and had to temporarily give up.
Having these two stealthy Rangers was enough!
Everyone else obtained the Lord’s Aura, and during this process, they also recruited a new batch of players, increasing the team from thirty-five to forty mbers!
If before,
Everyone only had a forty percent chance.
Now they had eighty percent confidence!
"This round is secured!"
"Lord is aweso! These two skills ca right when we needed them!"
"Brothers and sisters, it's ti to set off, let those brainless monsters have a taste of what players can do!"
"Move faster! Move faster!"
"My mom is calling for dinner again! I don't want her cutting off my power in the middle of a fight!"
"Hahaha!"
"Charge!"
"Fourth Calamity will prevail!"
"……"
Forty players teleported to He Ting Village, quickly crossing a vast wilderness filled with wandering undead, and once again arrived near the site of their previous annihilation in the core pollution zone.
"Careful!"
The sound of arrows piercing the air rang out.
The archer fiend soldiers had started sniping again.
The lee fiend soldiers swiftly attempted to sneak close for an ambush.
Six roaming Luoshui Fiend Cavalryn charged towards them rapidly.
Compared to last ti, the players were well-prepared, imdiately forming a defensive formation, with the main forces decisively activating auras and protective charms.
【You have activated the Taiping Talisman, duration 300 seconds!】
【You have activated the Lord’s Aura, all attributes 15%!】
Ye Li ng, Mad Blade Old Wang, Salted Fish Thrust, Street Slayer, and other level 6 warriors stood at the forefront to attract enemy fire.
The weakest among them had trained Iron Armor to level 7 and at least wore a full set of Ordinary Wild Bull equipnt; most were even equipped with shields, forming an impenetrable defense to protect the monks and warlocks.
"Warriors, hold the line!"
"Warlocks, focus fire on the cavalry!"
"Rui Ge, Lone Boat, the warlocks are yours!"
While speaking, Ye Li ng swung his great blade, ignoring several attacks that landed on him, instantly slashing down a fiend soldier with a charged strike.
Street Slayer, Mad Blade Old Wang, Salted Fish Thrust, and other warriors had also withstood the first wave of attacks and were engaged in close combat with the Headless Fiend Soldiers.
Although casualties quickly occurred,
With the healing from monks like Midnight Pig Slayer and Chenxi, the situation remained under control, while warlocks like Chira Wraith, Little Bell, Green-Clad Fox, and Glorious Years, protected at the center, had already completed the charge for Fla Arrow Curses.
As soon as the Luoshui Fiend Cavalryn got close, they were struck by scorching fla arrows; two cavalryn were imdiately ignited, suffering continuous damage and impaired mobility.
At that mont, eerie wolf howls rose as expected!
Four Yellow Turban Fiend Warlocks hiding in the back had finished their casting, sending rune magic wolves with fierce auras charging at the Fourth Calamity's army.
Given the rune wolves’ suppression over warriors,
They could tear through the defense line and destroy the players’ formation.
At this crucial mont, ghostly figures erged beside two warlocks.
A figure with a blood-patterned sword silently stabbed into a warlock's neck at lightning speed.
305 (Lethal Critical)!
Hmph, just as expected, Fiend Warlocks were tricky in techniques but extrely fragile themselves; once engaged in close combat, they could not withstand even a single blow!
Lone Boat quickly pulled out his sword.
Another warlock and nearby archers were already on alert; the warlock hurriedly retreated to widen the distance, while several archers pulled their bows to shoot at Lone Boat.
Clang! Clang!
Two crisp sounds!
He deflected the arrows with his sword.
Lone Boat activated Swift Step, rapidly advancing, using nimble footwork to dodge one arrow after another, slicing through the air with his blade, plunging it into another warlock’s chest, inflicting massive damage and taking away most of its HP.
152 (Critical)!
The warlock still tried to retaliate.
Lone Boat gripped the sword hilt with both hands, suddenly exerting force, slashing horizontally with brutal strength, his sharp blade carving a huge gash from the left chest down to the abdon.
252 (Lethal Critical)!
Lone Boat successfully killed the second warlock.
Almost simultaneously, Black-Eyed Rui Ge launched his assault, first using Shadow Step to assassinate one, then wielding twin daggers to swiftly eliminate another with a series of clean attacks.
"Awrooo!"
The eight rune wolves had just reached the players.
But they lost balance and control, instantly turning into ashes.
"That was so cool!"
"Well done!"
"As expected from Rui Ge and Lone Boat!"
"Let's hurry up and take out the archers too!"
At this ti, led by level 5 Rangers Ashwood and Cold Snow, another five Rangers activated Swift Step and rushed in to support, joining Rui Ge and Lone Boat like a ferocious wolf pack tearing through the archers.
Everything was according to plan.
Although the fiend archer soldiers were also a major threat,
Their close combat ability was weak, unable to resist the swift and fierce Ranger strike team; amid the cold glint of sword lights, the archers fell one after another.
Without the suppression from arrows,
The pressure kept decreasing.
At this point, the situation completely reversed.
Ye Li ng and the warriors began actively tangling with the Fiend Cavalryn; though the cavalryn were powerful, they could not easily break free when multiple warriors pinned them down.
The warlocks like Chira Wraith continued to focus fire; under a series of powerful spell attacks, finally, one heavily armored Fiend Cavalryman fell.
The second.
The third!
The overall montum was decided!
The Abyss Army collapsed like a mountain falling!
Although the iron hooves and long spears of the Fiend Cavalryn killed quite a few players,
As the gap in strength widened, the battle no longer had any suspense.
"Die!"
When Street Slayer cleaved down the last Headless Fiend Soldier with his twin blades, there were no more enemies capable of posing a threat on the battlefield.
Out of forty participating players,
Twenty-four remained.
The players laughed and celebrated with each other.
Although the casualties were not small, the overall loss was acceptable, and by any asure, it was a glorious victory!
