Chapter 163: Chapter 158: Artillery Master Deirdre
No matter what, as long as these Little Banshees don’t attack, they will eventually become Da Fei’s possessions.
Da Fei excitedly waved and smiled at them, while they hugged their telescopes even tighter. Wahahaha, so cute!
Da Fei counted with his fingers, there were exactly 44, just enough for each to have a telescope. Wahahaha, these are all Elite Banshees, the combat power and the Jungle Hunters of Level 3 Soldiers are definitely not on the same level. As long as they are cultivated, they will be enough to make up for and enhance my strength! Alas, it’s a pity that I couldn’t blow up more players to drop more telescopes!
At this time, Mrs. Anwen looked exhausted but was gratified: “Although I don’t know where it went wrong, the mistake turned into an advantage. I feel like I wasn’t using the array for summoning, but using it as a medium, employing incantations as a language to display a very alternative diplomacy technique to them. Otherwise, it’s really inexplicable why they started distributing property as if no one were there as soon as they entered the door. In short, this is an incomplete result of the combined effects of coin diplomacy, treasure sacrifice, array summoning, plus Mysterious Stealth Navigation to hide military strength! The remaining issue is to find a way to eliminate their hostility.”
Only then did Da Fei realize: “So that’s how it is! Diplomacy sometimes requires spending money!” Wahahaha, I’m so awesome, I knew Gold Coins would be useful!
Anwen laughed: “Moreover, the advantage of this array’s remote diplomacy is that it can be repeated, avoiding the situation where failure in normal circumstances means a battle is necessary. This is indeed a new topic, perhaps we can use this method to interact with some powerful demons.”
Da Fei nodded repeatedly: “So that’s how it is!” I’m not interested in powerful demons, having Little Baby is enough, wahaha!
At this moment, Selvia brought a large quantity of exquisite Elf Kingdom food from the kitchen. Then, with an angelic smile, she distributed food to the Little Banshees huddled up together. Even Didi and Lili couldn’t help drooling. It seemed that no matter how different the values between demons and Elf humans, good food was universally recognized.
However, in the eyes of these Little Banshees, what would Selvia’s angelic smile look like? In any case, they got even more scared. Selvia then spread the food and drinks out in front of them and walked away. Finally, these Little Banshees couldn’t resist the temptation of the delicious food, and they all came forward to eat, cheering loudly. Their red names above their heads instantly turned to neutral yellow names!
Oh yeah! My living conditions here are so much better than in hell. It’s only a matter of time before they join my troops.
At this time, Anwen wiped a forehead full of sweat and sighed: “Alright, I’m a bit tired, Captain, complete the task quickly.”
Da Fei hurriedly nodded: “Thank you, teacher! Please go back to your room and rest, leave the rest to me!”
The Banshee Camp was in an Otherworld, and the hero’s attribute skills couldn’t affect the entire ship or army, so Da Fei and Catherine had to leave. Now, this place was left to Selvia, who was temporarily unoccupied. This little angel couldn’t contribute to summoning ideas, so let her be a confidant sister playing with the kids. Although the kids seemed very afraid of this Angel Sister, fear was good, it facilitated discipline.
Since the goal was achieved, there was no need to waste time landing on Banshee Island, let’s continue along the coast and blow up other Demon Nests.
…
Meanwhile, at the Pool of Radiance, the battle had broken down to a new stage.
After the Hellish Alliance Army suppressed the Elves of the Chinese region on the Lake Island city walls, the main force concentrated its superior forces to continue the siege, though it was not complete. Then they dispatched non-main force members with few soldiers left to the roots beneath the Flower Demon Camp by the Pool of Radiance to dump corrupt soil, polluting and destroying the area, filling it with rolling black smoke.
Star, taking advantage of the invincible position standing on the city walls, utilized the fast speed of leaf boats to organize the main force members into groups of five, equipped with one healing player each, to skirmish and hunt down the Hell Race’s soil-polluting ships. They aimed to accumulate merit to exchange for Druids. Once Star accumulated enough Druids, it would be the true decider of victory.
For a time, the scattering fleets of the Pool of Radiance chased each other, initiating an all-out war. And clearly, Star’s fragmented and mobile tactics gradually gained the upper hand. If the situation continued as it was, Star would undoubtedly win the final victory. For a brief moment, the World Channel in the China Region was flooded with messages, all starting to celebrate victory in advance.
For the Earth Clan, the only way to reverse the situation was to break through this waterborne city wall and seize the Resurrection Point on Lake Island. Once the Resurrection Point was occupied for a long period, according to the battlefield rules, the Hell Camp would achieve national war victory.
But facing the Elven waterborne city wall, the Hell Race’s stone-age warships had no way.
Although the Hell Camp’s fast paddle assault ships would be regarded as a high-grade suicidal weapon by the navies of various nations even on the sea, striking the wall would still be akin to hitting a reef.
More troublesome was that the city wall could increase the range and power of stationed ranged units and the crossbow cannon. Of course, not only the wall, any high ground combined with tailwind was advantageous to ranged units, like a standing urinating far. Meanwhile, it could reduce the attacker’s ranged damage by 25%-50%. Thus, the Hellish Alliance Army’s strongest 4th level ranged soldier, the Fire Element, had no advantage to speak of.
Facing the walls, no one dared to claim an advantage. This was one of the difficulties in siege warfare.
Even worse than the siege was the ongoing internal strife among the Hell Race. The Indian Zone was obsessed with female heroes. They refused to give up the female hero to the China Region and started organizing groups to crash into the China Region battleships surrounding the female hero.
Though surrounding the female hero had little relevance to improving favor and perhaps even less tactical significance in actual combat, it symbolized sovereignty, and neither side was willing to yield an inch, leading to fierce collisions.
Of course, collisions were a highly sophisticated skill that ordinary players shouldn’t easily replicate. Like sports games, the line between legal body contact and fouls often depended on control of force and reach. Otherwise, the system would consider it PK.
And apparent it was, these Indian players were the elite from their country, and their area control ability was vastly superior to the Hell Race’s weaker power, temporary workers of the Dragon Slayer Guild. In the circumstances of the Great Army’s encirclement, even the God-level Hero Blood Sea Wave was unlikely to support out of the city. For a moment, the formation of the Chinese fleet gradually started to loosen.
Just then, a temp worker from the Dragon Slayer Guild failed to hold it together, or perhaps got tricked by India. Anyway, he accidentally exceeded the threshold slightly, red card!
The Indian players whooped, and a barrage of fire elements from each ship eliminated the red-named temp worker swiftly, taunting as they charged through the breach. Another member got sniped, and taunted by India, a few more temp workers from the Dragon Slayer lost their composure and turned red name again!
Gan Liniang! Damn it, who cares, it’s mutual PK!
In the chaotic situation, the same scene played out again, and Deirdre’s warship broke free and reentered the battlefield. For a moment, both sides were stunned, then promptly gave chase.
And the Japan Zone, acting as the Alliance Hierarch, had long been dissatisfied with the two “Baka” countries vying for the girl NPC. When they saw the NPC warship joining the fray from behind the formation, they immediately directed their own ships to open a passage, letting her perish! Then they closed it up, cutting off their hope.
This prompted a flurry of nationalist curses from Chinese and Indian players.
Boom! A cannon fired! A crossbow cannon shot from Deirdre’s warship at the waterborne city wall!
This shot astounded all Hell players present to their core!
Because its range clearly exceeded a standard crossbow cannon’s by a margin! Under normal conditions, it couldn’t have reached the city wall! For Hell Race players heavily reliant on crossbow cannon openings, they knew the crossbow cannon’s range all too well! At least in their current position, the crossbow cannon on the wall couldn’t reach them!
Boom! The city wall erupted with sparks flying everywhere!
All players exploded in excitement! An explosive crossbow!? The legendary tactical ability of the Hell Clan Epic Hero Delib, “Iron Maiden”? Yes, everyone had seen Delib before, although closely surrounded by Indian players, but the more closely guarded, the more intensely scrutinized by high-level spies from various countries. Delib once gave this female NPC a red book! That must be imparting a skill!
Boom! Another cannon echoed! The city wall erupted into bright flashes!
Battlefield report: Hell Camp NPC Hero Deirdre killed the Chinese region player Fallen Big Cat!
“Wow!!!” All Hell Race players unanimously cheered with no doubts! All Chinese Region players were horrified!
This female hero is clearly a Water Siege Machine! With her on our side, is there any need to fear the city walls can’t be brought down? Hell nations cursed in team channels at India’s and China’s trailing hindrance preventing the siege machine from participating in combat.
Now, realizing the female hero’s value, Japan Zone reacted immediately, surrounding the female hero’s warship with heavy forces.
Meanwhile, in the Chinese region, whether the Dragon Slayer or Star were immensely shocked!
Lei Huolong immediately opened the task panel to check the Banshee’s attributes, instantly shocked. This Banshee Hero had leveled up while reading and improved her skills even more!

…
Deirdre’s newly improved skill was the artillery master’s professional sub-skill Ballistics!
Ballistics: For every level the Artillery Master increases, crossbow cannon range increased by 5%!
In ranged battles, increased range is tremendously important! It’s already demonstrating an incredible advantage, showcasing the strength of hidden Hero professions! It’s only level 6, if she reaches Crossbow Master and fires twice in succession, it would be devastating!
Suddenly, Lei Huolong noticed the task favorability was a pitiful 11%! How did it drop? It was 20% prior to the expedition! Could it be Japan’s earlier encirclement had wooed her too? What the hell! Notify the boss, Japan must be destroyed!
And just then, the spectators erupted once again!
The roots entwined on the waterborne city wall emitted green light, beginning to self-heal! (To be continued.
