Chapter 272 - 252: The Flying Hero Who Turned the Tide of Battle
Da Fei is resolute this time, not running anymore, whatever dragons lie hidden or tigers crouch unseen, Da Fei wants a fierce battle! Whether in terms of troop strength or numbers, he holds an overwhelming advantage. Bring it on! Having the strength of 100 people and actually having 100 people are completely different concepts; it’s the difference between a BOSS and trash!
Now, Da Fei has found a place with lots of big trees to lean against, and he arranges some Druids to circle around himself and the Vice Heroes to prevent being beheaded. Then he positions other Druids behind other big trees, creating intersecting firepoints. As for the Forest Goddess, a long-range flying troop of course serves as a mobile artillery unit, bombing wherever there’s enemy action.
You have to admit, as much as the jungle can be a pain, it also provides natural cover and barriers. If utilized well, it can be very advantageous.
At this moment, the chat group is buzzing with noise: "They’re surrounded! They’re surrounded! The ones behind, follow up!"
The excited voice of Blade Royal Family modulates with agitation: "The ones in front, ensnare them first, don’t attack, wait for everyone to gather then we’ll attack all at once!"
Da Fei snorts, an all-out attack? Bring it on! My passion is surging, my blood boiling!
At this moment, perched on a tree branch, Phoenix Feather starts feeling that something is wrong. Why haven’t they been bombed out yet? For his Priests to counter my Healing Skill, their Mana consumption should be at least double mine. But how is that possible? Could it be that his troops have ultra-high Magic Resistance?
Could it be? An Illusion Army?
In that instant, Phoenix Feather is seized by an intense feeling of having been fooled! But that doesn’t make sense either! To replicate so many troops, so many times, even the Illusion Army’s Mana couldn’t outlast mine, right? Could it be that the Priests have depleted their Mana and the other hero is using Illusion Techniques? That’s the only explanation!
Thinking of this guy’s many beautiful Vice Heroes, Phoenix Feather feels intensely uncomfortable. Although he doesn’t need to bring any Vice Heroes or even troops for the sake of mobility tactics, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t envy, resent, and hate those players with beautiful Female Heroes! This also somewhat reminds him of the unpleasant incidents that happened during the public beta.
Anyway, put in more effort, kick them while they’re down! Phoenix Feather clenches his teeth and uses the little Mana he has left to unleash another Thunderstorm!
...
Now, the chat group is filled with passion, a wave of emotion surging. Around Da Fei, red dots cluster densely, three layers inside and out. Seeing the woods crawling with potential enemies, Da Fei sighs inwardly.
Who would have thought that there would be so many players on this battlefield! 300? 500? This many players, this many troops, even if they all brought level 1 troops, it’s enough to give me a hard time, and even if I were a super BOSS, I’d have to lie down. If these players are all as sneaky as the previous few, tucking their heads and running once their troops are gone, how could I even break out? Damn, if I had known, I should have brought out both Charming Emperor and Artillery Emperor; it wouldn’t have come to this!
Man, I was too complacent, this is the so-called prominence that brings the higher level of attack.
Wait a sec! Charming Emperor? Suddenly, Da Fei remembers isn’t Deirdre just a Hero version of the Charming Emperor? Damn! She can fly! What a powerful special skill! Flying Heroes are simply defying the heavens! I actually wasted such a resource and forgot! I haven’t seen Deirdre for so long, and her role as an Artillery Master and her Nun appearance have cemented my thinking!
After all, since I entered the game, there’s been so much going on, fewer battles, especially those fought with Deirdre! Furthermore, because of this damned Heroic Trial quest, I never even thought of sending her out to fight!
Right, would her being just an Artillery Master with a Banshee special skill justify the professional esports teams from India and Japan going so crazy for her that they’d fall out and undermine each other? What they really valued was her ability as a Flying Hero! A Flying Hero leading Flying Soldiers, like, say, Angels, that’s freaking awesome!
Da Fei immediately asks Deirdre, "Can you fly? Can you take your Forest Goddess Army on an Independent Expedition?"
Although your AI libraries haven’t been copied over, this is your special skill, please don’t tell me you don’t know how!
Deirdre nods, still using that frustratingly stiff intonation as she replies, "I’m ready. Please give your command, master!"
This AI! But as long as she knows, that’s good enough. Da Fei shakes his head with a sigh, while selecting the Vice Hero split-troop command, he orders: "You go take out that Phoenix Feather first, then cause mayhem in the enemy’s rear!"
The role of a Vice Hero is naturally to help the commander fight. They can fight as part of the team, or they can split up. However, once they split up to attack, the Vice Hero’s troops can no longer enjoy the boosts from the commander’s attributes and skills, and it also greatly tests the Vice Hero’s AI. Da Fei just doesn’t trust the Vice Hero AI on the Battle Network Server!
In fact, one of the most frustrating things for players during the public test was when the Vice Hero went on an expedition; sometimes the casualties were simply too gruesome to look at directly.
A pink mist rises, and the beautiful Nun Deirdre vanishes, a hot and gorgeous ********** with bat wings appearing. Da Fei’s heart shatters! My wife is going to be exposed to other players; what a loss for me!
Just at this moment, another Thunderstorm roars down! Good, just waiting for your Spell’s cooldown interval.
Da Fei waves his hand: "Attack! Take him down!"
"I’m off to battle!" Deirdre, leading her 33 Forest Goddesses, soars into the sky (Deirdre’s Command Power of 100 allows her to lead 33 level 4 troops) and flies over the treetops, out of Da Fei’s sight!
And it is at this time that the chat group explodes with surprise: "What’s that flying out!"
"My god, it seems like a Banshee, the one Da Fei got during the National War!"
All of a sudden, the unexpected turn of events unsettles Blade Royal Family. He shouts in the chat group: "All-out attack!"
The chat group shouted in unison: "Charge!"
Da Fei gritted his teeth: "Bring it on!"
Clash! The surrounding bushes stirred, and the red clouds began to converge towards Da Fei. Da Fei saw various gunners, Sword Dancers, Skeleton Soldiers, goblins, Demon Children, and all kinds of level 1 troops! Damn it! Multi-National Forces, huh! Bro’s gonna see how many of you can actually make it to my front.
At this moment, right after Phoenix Feather had unleashed a lightning strike, she saw a swarm of Flying Soldiers dive-bombing her from the woods! Phoenix Feather’s eyes widened, how is this possible! How can troops fight independently without their player?
They’re close! Phoenix Feather finally saw the leader, a completely white figure with a shimmering chest and a ring of fiery red halo at her feet... A Banshee?
A Hero! A Banshee Hero! And a flying Banshee Hero at that! Phoenix Feather was stunned, unable to believe her eyes! How could this be! This was clearly not a normal Banshee, Banshees can’t fly! Is this the strength of this Da Fei?
Phoenix Feather was deeply shocked. The only thing she could do now was to cast another Instant Teleportation, this time to the woods, hoping to escape disaster. But it was futile. She, on the ground, had nowhere to hide from the hunter above, just as she had been gleefully bombarding Da Fei moments ago.
Deirdre’s troops landed around her in an instant, spears thrown in unison!
In that moment of near-death, Phoenix Feather glared at Deirdre’s tempting, pale body with such resentment that she felt her guts twist: "Damn, cursed by the dog’s heat!"
— System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Deirdre has killed the player "Phoenix Feather".
Dead! This clown finally kicked the bucket! Da Fei released his pent-up energy and let out a long, exhilarated laugh: "Who’s next? Who’s the next one?"
At this time, the entire chat group was in chaos!
"I can’t do this, I’m retreating!"
"Damn, Da Fei’s firepower is too fierce! I’m retreating too!"
Blade Royal Family shouted loudly: "Charge! The rest, keep charging!"
Da Fei was feeling incredibly joyful and excited. Not because he had taken out a clown, but because he had successfully realized the greatest value of using Deirdre, and it wasn’t just for firing cannons! Similarly, those Artillery Emperors could also fly!
Sometimes it’s just like that, treasures are right in front of you, but you can’t see them even with your eyes wide open! In any case, by hook or by crook, he must ensure Deirdre safely levels up to 50! Right, how much Experience will he get for hauling back this loot?
Decided, all the loot would be sold by Deirdre, and he and the other wives would stay far away, all the Experience would be hers alone to consume! Haha, wahahaha!
Feeling fantastic, Da Fei couldn’t help but gloat in the chat room as he saw Blade Royal Family rushing in the group chat, so he couldn’t resist typing a line: Blade Royal Family, if you want to bring me down, come at me yourself, what’s the skill in calling others to be cannon fodder.
As soon as these words came out, someone in the group immediately called out: "Who is this One Sword Eastward?"
Da Fei was surprised, oh? He hadn’t even noticed he was typing with the nickname One Sword Eastward, haha! One Sword Eastward, bro’s giving you a chance to shine, let you carry my name gloriously for a bit, no need to thank me, call me Red Scarf!
Da Fei then typed back: I am Da Fei, this is my chat name!
The group channel was in uproar: "Is that real or fake?"
Blade Royal Family raged: "All these cats and dogs like to pretend to be celebrities to show off, ignore them, everybody keep charging!" Just at that moment,
— System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Deirdre has killed the player "Jack".
Da Fei was overjoyed; Deirdre had done it again! She had indeed successfully executed his harassment order! Jack? Damn it, wasn’t that the dwarf who had just run away alone? Now it’s great, with attacks from both the front and back, how could he fail to collect ten heads?
Overwhelmed with joy, Da Fei typed in the chat channel to demoralize the opponents: "Jack, you still didn’t escape! Of all the enemies, why did you have to be against me!"
As expected, a loud roar in the chat room: "I was killed by Da Fei’s Vice Hero! So many beauties!"
The chat room erupted: "He really is Da Fei!"
Blade Royal Family shouted angrily: "Kick this traitor out!"
— Group Information Prompt: You have been kicked out by the group administrator from Blade Royal Family Guest Group.
Da Fei laughed heartily! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
