Chapter 154 -149 The Final Battle of the Pool of Radiance Begins
“Send a level 5 trial hero to the battlefield!” This order from the enraged commander stunned the players in the Indian Zone! Of course, it also shocked the top brass of Dragon Slayer.
The demon world was just that ruthless! Deirdre had no choice but to obey. She feared death, but not to the point of being deathly pale. After all, she had survived countless battles from being a mere soldier to where she was today. Would she survive this time?
Deirdre quickly said, “I will definitely make amends, though I hope to lead suitable troops and have a crossbow cannon to showcase my talents.”
Siriel waved his hand, “Of course, I know what suitable troops are, and I’ll make sure the workshop adds a cannon mount to your warship!” Then he addressed the group of player leaders, “You don’t have much time, I hope you can pacify the Demon King’s rage with your battle achievements! Come on over!”
They had troops! Except for the frustrated Indian Zone, players from other countries were elated.
Siriel led a large group of players to the lava lake behind the workshop. Being a flame demon by birth, he felt an inexplicable kinship with the lava. He strolled across the lava as if he were walking through a leisurely garden. He began casting spells at the center of the lake, and without a doubt, it had to be to summon troops like flame demons, who usually had the ability to throw flames. This made them capable of competing with the level 2 and 3 troops of the Elf Kingdom. Players from various countries watched with bated breath.
Meanwhile, the leadership of Dragon Slayer wasn’t idle.
Hesitant and observing all along, Dragon Slayer finally had a target—keep and capture this Banshee Hero! For players with ordinary talents, there were only two ways to stand out: one, strive to complete extremely difficult tasks and gain new abilities; two, hire a top-notch vice hero. The first route was clearly unrealistic, making the second route relatively reliable. For Dragon Slayer, which was weak in the Hell Race, a top-notch vice hero was as valuable as the hero legacy sold by Da Fei.
And what of Deirdre’s initial attributes and professional skills? More than just top-class! Her allure was such that the entire Indian Zone was captivated, naturally deserving the title of a nation-toppling beauty, and Dragon Slayer couldn’t sit by while a national hero was whisked away by foreigners.
Thus, two tasks were vital: one, stab Asan in the back who was contending with them; two, take down Star. But neither of these tasks would be easy, especially backstabbing, which would result in being marked as a killer who couldn’t take a step without being penalized.
So, Ma Yinglong personally reached out to the soaring in fame Blood Sea Wave.
Yet, they waited and waited, seconds ticked by, and there was still no reply from the other side. Ma Yinglong was so impatient he felt his veins bulging! Getting cocky, huh? Fame has gone to your head? The other day, who was the first to form an alliance and give a boost when you established the Blood Sea Studio? I’m from the Dark Alliance; I’m not afraid of getting a penalty for killing you and can gain experience and merit, believe it or not, I’ll ruin you!
As he was gritting his teeth, Blood Sea Wave finally replied, “Oh, it’s Chairman Ma. Sorry, my messages blew up, and I missed it.”
Ma Yinglong laughed heartily, “This is what it means to be a public figure, but I’m not here to congratulate you. I’m here to discuss business. What’s your next move?”
Blood Sea Wave chuckled, “Of course, to keep beheading and become first on the National War Merit List! I’m just in it for the name, so rest assured, Chairman Ma, I’m only targeting foreigners. Once I succeed, I’ll retire, and I won’t interfere in the matters between your large guilds.”
Looks like Star had been in touch with him, right? Ma Yinglong chuckled, “Man, only in hard times can you find true friends. Everyone will chip in when things are going well. But life has its ups and downs, and it’s better to make genuine friends. Honestly, I’m down on my luck, and I want to ask an old friend for help!”
Bullshit down on your luck! If I wasn’t a God-level Hero, would you guys even bother with Brother Bird? Blood Sea Wave was getting fired up, yet didn’t expect Ma Yinglong to suddenly claim he was down on his luck, making him curious, “How did Chairman Ma fall on hard times?”
Ma Yinglong laughed, “Think about it, this watermelon national war puts us out on this limb, and accidentally you get called a traitor, then those opportunists stab you from behind to finish you off, that’s being down on your luck. But doing nothing, and letting domestic peers take all the limelight, losing popularity, that’s still being down on your luck.”
Blood Sea Wave chuckled, “Chairman Ma’s undead roots still exist, what is there to worry about? Just say if you need any help.”
Ma Yinglong chuckled, “I want you to help me attack the Indian Zone! Don’t worry. Our people will be right in the middle of the Indian Zone to take hits for you! With your super strong performance today, you can definitely wreak havoc! It wouldn’t be impossible for you to single-handedly wipe out the entire Indian Zone. At that time, we’ll publicize you as ‘one against a nation,’ make headlines on various websites and forums, and guarantee your fame will skyrocket. This is an audience of tens of thousands! Even the U.S. President doesn’t get to be this excited. And later on, if your studio has competitors like Star or Ninth Heaven that you don’t get along with and find it inconvenient to deal with, Dragon Slayer can step in and help you out, guaranteed to make you big and strong.”
Blood Sea Wave laughed heartily, “In the entire China Region, only Chairman Ma dares to say something like this.”
Ma Yinglong laughed heartily, “To tell you the truth, a guild like Star Guild just stifles everything under it. You want to be peers and not feel oppressed when you’re in the same camp with them? It’s difficult. It’s better to cooperate with us in the enemy camp. It comes more straightforwardly and pleasantly!”
Blood Sea Wave laughed, “Chairman Ma is indeed straightforward. Alright, I’ll definitely help with this!”
Ma Yinglong laughed, “This friend is truly worth making! I’ll let Lei Huolong connect with you for specific tactics and share a map view.”
“Haha! Truly, Chairman Ma…”
As they spoke, the spell-casting in the Magic Race camp’s lava lake finally bore fruit. Thousands of serpent-like creatures emerged in the lake.
“Fire Elements!” An uproar ensued among the onlooking players from various countries!
—Fire Element: Neutral level 4 troop, Attack 10, Defense 5, Life 43, Damage 11-20, Attack Speed 8, Move Speed 6, Command Value 3, Special Skill: Ranged Archer, Fire Immunity, Elemental Life, Flame Shield
Fire Elements were often the summons of Master-level Arcane Magic, known for their high life and high damage, hailed as the strongest level 4 ranged troop, even surpassing many level 5 troops. Their comprehensive attributes crushed the Elf Clan’s pride of the low-health level 3 troop Jungle Hunter, with the only downside being a slower attack rate.
In reality, the four major elemental life forms—wind, fire, water, and earth—were all level 4 troops that players found particularly challenging. Fire Elements boasted formidable range, protected by a fire shield, resilient to melee combat. Water Elements wielded advanced Ice Pillar Magic and, if not so rare, would certainly be contenders with the Druid for the title of God-level Monster. Earth Elements were incredibly durable, high-attack, high-life, all-defense anti-magic melee nemeses, while Wind Elements were the game’s fastest flying army.
Now, these thousands of Fire Elements slithered out of the lava, joining player ranks lacking in command power. Players across various countries burst into cheers! However, the Japan Zone, wanting to conserve strength, had few Abyss Lords fall, leading to fewer Fire Elements being received. Similarly, in the China Region, players were left feeling deflated, as they hadn’t participated and thus acquired fewer troops.
Now, Siriel, having completed the spell, returned to shore. The flames dimmed, revealing a layer of charred black and red on him, indicating his strength had significantly waned. He spoke wearily, “Warriors, this is your last chance. You are only allowed victory, not failure!”
The players from various countries were invigorated, “No failure! Absolutely no failure.”
Clatter! Another workshop gate opened, launching a brand-new giant oar warship into the water. The battleship was clearly much taller than normal battleships, with added shields resembling those on coal barges along its sides, making it more effective against arrow rain.
Needless to say, this rough-and-ready item was undoubtedly prepared for the female hero. Lei Huolong immediately sent someone on board, approaching this ship, and the Indian Zone players were first to act, colliding at sea to fight for position.
As expected, Siriel said to Deirdre, “This is the modified battleship for you, with cannon mounts in four directions. Although your skill can control only one cannon, you can switch mounts at any time, shooting in all directions, saving the time spent rotating the crossbow cannon for aiming. Delib could do it; I hope you can too.”
Deirdre quickly said, “Thank you, Mentor!”
Siriel waved, “Get ready for the expedition!”
…
Elf Kingdom Staff Department. A group of NPC officers with keen eyes and tense expressions fixed their gaze on the large map.
Eternal Star, this idle big shot, was very displeased. The previous total attack had been in vain, and the Elf Kingdom still had no plans to deploy NPC troops. What about all these spider demons? What if the spider demons finished their tasks and turned on the players?
In the midst of this dilemma, an officer excitedly said, “Great Elder, we have detected magic information sent back by Professor Anwen!”
The Great Elder laughed heartily, “Our hero is still alive; he is still alive!”
Thunderous applause resounded in the hall!
Professor Anwen? So this super hero was an NPC named Anwen! Eternal Star was finally relieved! If a player were this strong, he’d surely lose his appetite. So he seized the opportunity to suggest, “Great Elder, should we deploy the main force?”
The Great Elder laughed heartily, “Everyone, what do you think?”
All the officers raised their hands, “Attack!”
Pool of Radiance, the final battle began!
