Chapter 700 - 663 Reputation Hurts to Grind!
Now, Da Fei began assembling his entire troop: 200 Forest Goddesses, 1 Unicorn Boss, 1 Elite Intelligence Angel specialized in replenishing mana, 1 Ordinary Power Angel specialized in restoring stamina, and, of course, his Blood Eagle with the reverse-engineered Petrification Aura.
It had tanks, long-range units, support units, not to mention Elena, the human cannon. This lineup was extremely powerful. Looking across the current stage of the entire game, could the British pull together such a large and high-end team in the City of Divine Punishment? If they could, he’d eat three pounds of dung!
Of course, compared to the overwhelming number of 200 Forest Goddesses, the auxiliary effects of the two Angels could almost be ignored. But wasn’t this lineup meant to rack up reputation and try to get more Angels? Plus, he could even get his entire family to blend in a side job while he’s at it, a truly worthwhile deal.
At that moment, Anlicia saw the Unicorn Boss and exclaimed with joy, "What a beautiful unicorn, this must be exclusively for me to use!" She didn’t wait, immediately mounting it with a flip.
Da Fei sighed, "Well, Miss Deputy City Lord, I think Selvia, who specializes in Light Magic, is more suitable to ride this than you."
Anlicia widened her eyes, "No way? An Elf girl riding a unicorn is the perfect combination of nobility, elegance, strength, and beauty!"
Da Fei sighed, "Alright, you can ride it before the battle, but let Selvia ride it when the battle begins!"
"No way!" Anlicia waved the dark-golden Divine Artifact Nine-Headed Snake Bow, a face full of longing, "Holding a golden bow, riding a unicorn, I’m the Valkyrie of the battlefield, without a doubt!"
Da Fei sighed, "I’ll have Arong paint a portrait of you on horseback, like Napoleon."
Selvia said seriously, "I won’t ride it if she’s been on it!"
Anlicia laughed and dismounted, then touched Selvia’s hair teasingly, "We have plenty of unicorns in the Elf Kingdom, do you think I’ve never seen one? Just kidding!"
Selvia’s face turned stern, her voice cold, "Touch me again, and I won’t heal you in the battle!"
Those words shocked Da Fei and Anlicia, turning their faces green! Had their relationship deteriorated to this point? Anlicia, in particular, hadn’t expected the normally docile Selvia to suddenly erupt, leaving her bewildered.
At this point, Selvia smiled broadly, "Just kidding!"
Ah, pfft! Da Fei couldn’t help but spew! Here they were, on the eve of battle, and these two were giving the commander a headache? Would they believe him if he threatened to take their virginity to prevent them from riding? To be honest, he was quite envious of that unicorn...
The team assembled, and with a loud rumble, Ror opened the gates of the City of Divine Punishment and admonished, "Warriors, there is no barrier this time, and the escape of the Thunder Angel will surely cause the Demon to adjust their deployment, so the difficulty of this exam will be much higher than the last time. Please act according to your strength and retreat immediately if things don’t look right, I’ll also be on standby to assist you."
The fact that she would assist them surely indicated the result of improved relations. Da Fei smiled calmly, "Miss Ror, rest assured, our force is also much larger than last time!"
Anlicia smiled arrogantly, "Finally, I can test the power of the Divine Artifact Bow!"
Da Fei laughed, "That’s right, we also have a Divine Artifact!"
Ror nodded, "I wish you warriors good luck."
On the Despair Plain, hordes of demons surged, a dense mass of Flesh Demons charged toward Da Fei’s troops like a rushing tide.
If ordinary ground troops faced such a situation, failure to withstand it would mean disaster. But Da Fei’s troops were all flying units, capable of retreating if overwhelmed. This was the high-end awesomeness of flying troops, especially long-range flying troops! Scanning through the six major conventional races and the Mage Academy, there wasn’t a single racial unit that was both long-range and flying.
The battle began, with the Blood Eagle circling above the demon horde, activating its Petrification Aura. Simultaneously, centered on Anlicia, a faint white light shield enveloped the entire army, the Divine Artifact Bow’s Domain Special Skill.
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, he too wanted to see the power of this Divine Artifact!
They were getting closer! With a resonant, heavy twang, Anlicia took the lead, unleashing the power of the Divine Artifact Bow, as 200 Forest Goddesses’ magical Flying Spears followed suit, the front rows of more than ten Flesh Demons collapsed.
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched again, striking with such power from extreme range was expected, but the range itself was extraordinary! Even if Da Fei wasn’t a professional expert, this greatly extended range was obvious to even a deaf person; it was approaching the level of Secret Arrows!
Da Fei quickly checked Anlicia’s Equipment Bar to review the Divine Artifact Bow’s attributes:
—Hydra Bow: Divine Artifact, Dual-Handed Strategic Weapon Equipment Position, Attack +30, Special Skill: Strong Strike Domain, Poison Arrow.
Strong Strike Domain: Aura Skill, within a 100-meter radius of the user, all allied remote troops’ Attack Speed +20%, Range +20%.
Poison Arrow: The hero’s arrow skill shooting can inflict a certain degree of poison effect on the target, which is difficult to dispel with ordinary dispel magic.
....
The core skill of this bow was undoubtedly this Strong Strike Domain.
A 20% increase in range allowed ordinary archers to approach the level of Secret Archers, a remarkable significance! More importantly, in the game, there were almost no equipment or skills that increased range. So far, the only skill Da Fei encountered that added range was Wandering Mercenary Fu’er’s magic, and that was one-time use.
Then there was the 20% increase in remote troops’ attack speed! What concept was this? The most expensive God-level Hero from Japan, with their specialization "Mobility Master," gained a 1% increase in troop attack speed every two levels. So at level 40, it increased troop attack speed by 20%, meaning a single property of this bow equated to a God-level Hero’s specialty at level 40! Amazing!
Now Da Fei awaited to see the extraordinary effect of the 20% speed increase!
Even with the Blood Eagle’s slow effect, the blood demon army’s high-speed charge quickly overcame the range advantage. The blood demon army closed in on the range of ordinary archers, but Da Fei’s anticipated second shot was yet to come. Maybe expectations for the 20% speed increase were too high? After all, a 20% increase from 10 speed to 12 wasn’t a qualitative leap?
Just then, the sky flashed with thunder, a ferocious thunderstorm crashed down, and countless flesh demons’ heads erupted with a barrage of "-10" damage!
Da Fei’s jaw dropped, Elena’s human cannon strike with its ten thousand damage was just divided among nearly a thousand Flesh Demons, each only receiving 10 damage! After all, a human cannon was just a cannon on Earth, but this wasn’t Earth, it was hell!
However, despite the insufficient damage, it successfully triggered the Destruction Technique sub-skill "Thunder Master" paralyzing effect. The charge of nearly a thousand Flesh Demons was abruptly halted, then the second round of the Forest Goddesses’ arrows screamed forward, dozens of Flesh Demons collapsed.
—System Prompt: You have killed Flesh Demon, gained Demon Essence +3!
Da Fei’s eyes lit up, killing dozens dropped 3 essences! He had farmed over four hundred this morning, now only discounted to 10%, needing only twenty more to exchange for an angel! However, with Elena’s disappointing damage output, he might have to retreat after one more round of shots. But that’s fine, this method took out hundreds at once, racking up reputation far more efficiently than this morning.
At that moment, Elena waved again, a mist of frost rose, countless frost spikes descended from the sky — Boom! A loud explosion, the heads of over a thousand Flesh Demons displayed "-7" damage, then the Ice Arrow Skill once again successfully triggered the Destruction Technique sub-skill "Frost Master" freezing effect. Just recovered from Thunder paralysis, the demons were now covered in ice, again falling into a slow state, winning precious time for the Forest Goddesses’ third attack!
Da Fei was ecstatic, deeply impressed!
If saying the first hit on all demons with Thunder Master’s paralysis was luck or attribute restraint, then this time with Frost Master’s hit was pure power, the power of God-level Destruction Technique — even without dealing high damage, it remained extremely powerful support!
However, it was still not perfect. If he could add a set of Dark Magic slowing effects at this time, then with the Blood Eagle’s petrification and the thunderstorm and frost slows, they couldn’t possibly avoid total annihilation!
At this moment, Billbo pulled out his flute and asked nervously, "L... Lord City Lord, may I, may I step in?"
Da Fei was startled, immediately saying, "Go for it! Don’t be nervous, don’t be afraid, they’re all trash!"
"R-right!" Billbo took a deep breath, filled his cheeks, and blew into his flute with all his might, the sound screeching through the battlefield like an air-raid siren!
Oh my! This was surely the noise from the siege of the Demigod Crocodile! Although he was alone, the flute sound almost matched that of half a Habit choir. This flute was indeed a treasure!
With the flute playing, the demons at the front stumbled and wavered, seemingly losing their direction, the same as the Demigod Giant Crocodile’s reaction! As the front demons faltered, the entire demon army immediately jammed together!
This meant that a thousand demons became sitting ducks!
Da Fei laughed heartily! Powerful, unbelievably powerful! Little Billbo actually had the indirect ability to control an entire army, an undisputed hidden hero! He thought he was bringing him to see the world when in fact, living in the World Tree Swamp Space was seeing the true big world, and these old souls were really the reclusive masters!
At this moment — Boing! A sound like someone fluffing cotton, Selvia, unwilling to be left out, took out her harp, "It’s time to test out what I’ve learned in real combat!"
Da Fei laughed up to the sky with joy, even Tachiusu hadn’t made a move yet, were they trying to drive him to take down the entire thousand-troop enemy? With this reputation boost, he’d feel deeply fulfilled! Ha ha, ha ha ha ha! (To be continued.
