Chapter 83 -80: The Entangled Flower Demon and Banshee
——Flower Demon: Attack 0, Defense 0, Damage 1-2, Life 2, Attack Speed 13, Command Value 0, Special Skill: Gardener, Flying Creature, Swarm Disturbance, Flower Pollen Strike, Ancient Tree Coexistence, Unable to Mobilize.
The Flower Demon, also known as the Flower Fairy, is a small, female spiritual creature with two pairs of dragonfly wings at her back, scattering light specks as she flies, often encountered as a beautiful elf in fairy tales. A Level 0 unit of the Elf Clan, the strongest Level 0 unit in the game, the most abnormal Level 0 unit in the game! Her multitude of special skills can blind players’ in-app purchase-loving eyes!
If not for the Level 0 unit’s setting of being only producible for city defense and not deployable, in the hands of experts, the Flower Demon’s combat power would completely crush other races’ second and third-level soldiers! Why? Because she is the only low-level troop that knows the attack magic “Swarm Disturbance”! Although Swarm Disturbance itself doesn’t cause much damage, its greatest feature is blinding, and even though the chance of blinding isn’t high, given the Flower Demon’s massive numbers, her enemies would be extremely frustrated.
Since Level 0 units’ combat role is city defense, then in defense battles, the greatest role of the Flower Demon is the special skill “Ancient Tree Coexistence,” which means continuously healing Level 6 Elf Clan Tree Spirits. Tree Spirits and Undead Race’s Black Knights are both acclaimed as almost Level 7 troops, Tree Spirits for their Blood Defense, Black Knights for their lethality. Moreover, Tree Spirits have a more terrifying special skill, Entangling Roots, immobilizing any enemy hit by Tree Spirits with tree roots. This special skill cannot be dispelled by any magic. Therefore, enemies entangled by Tree Spirits can only fight a battle of attrition with the high-defense, thick-skinned Tree Spirits, while Flower Demons keep healing the Tree Spirits; how could you fight this?
So it’s said, though the Elf Clan isn’t a heavily armored defensive race, the Elf City is definitely the toughest to take, thanks to the formidable partnership of Tree Spirits and Flower Demons. And Tree Spirits move slow and don’t fit the Elf Clan’s mobile combat style, usually reserved for defense. Thus, whenever attempting to surprise attack the Elf City, one will always see this astounding golden duo. The Elf City is the hardest to raid.
Notably, while the production of any unit of the Elf Clan is low, the output of only Flower Demons and Tree Spirits is drastically high, outshining all other races. After all, the Elf Clan excels at planting flowers and trees, further increasing the difficulty of attacking the Elf City.
In short, the Elf Clan is very strong, extremely strong, with its first 5 levels of troops being better than their human counterparts by a level grade, with quantity being their only constraint from conquering the world.

Now, Da Fei carefully observed the decrepit and rotten Flower Demon camp through the telescope, confirming that the camp was unusable. It meant the Pool of Radiance had once been the Flower Demon’s home, and this flesh tumor so-called invasion was to occupy the Flower Demon camp?
So, now that I have blasted the flesh mountain away, what’s the purpose of an unusable camp appearing in the mission scenario? Repair the camp? This idea seems genuinely feasible; players repair the camp, assembling a large army of Flower Demons requiring no Command Power, no recruitment costs, then have the Flower Demon army deal with these beetles, problem solved.
Exactly! This is the true solution to the task! Otherwise, how could a player possibly clear out this overwhelming swarm of beetles?
The question is, how to repair it? Da Fei fell into deep thought again.
As he pondered, Da Fei’s mind conjured up a scene of a flock of Flower Fairies draped only in leaves covering their critical parts, fluttering around the water pool and entangling tree roots, scattering beautiful shimmering specks, playfully chasing and frolicking about. Where did those Flower Fairies go? Were they all killed by the Demon Worm invasion? Or did some survivors hide away? Indeed, there must be survivors! How else could players repair the camp?
Da Fei took out the Blood Eagle Flute, preparing to conduct reconnaissance once more.
——System Prompt: You have already used a treasure today, please use it tomorrow.
Uh, only able to use it once a day? So genuinely frustrating.
What to do now? Damn it, should I sail the expensive Magic Energy Wind Sail all over the world looking for surviving Flower Demons? Or row around aimlessly in the spare landing boat like a headless chicken? What if I’m swarmed again? The big ship allows you to hide in the cabin, but the small boat would be doomed! In summary, having suffered once, without a target and assurance, I shouldn’t act recklessly, waiting for the treasure to recover tomorrow for more reconnaissance.
Then, another issue arose, how would other players tackle this epic quest if they received it? Others couldn’t have been as strong as me to explode the flesh mountain to discover the camp and this task’s critical point, right? Others wouldn’t have the God-level Reconnaissance Technique of the Blood Eagle Flute to scout everywhere, right? Others, receiving the task, have neither force nor reconnaissance ability, how would they start?
Da Fei thought for a long time without a clue. Damn it! As a top player, with powerful ships and cannons at hand, and God-level skills, I’m somehow no better than other players? This truly is an extraordinarily frustrating matter.
Still, with Flower Demons on the brain, suddenly thought of Banshees! Right, haven’t even had the time to check out the newly constructed barracks, just lost 7 soldiers and need to replenish forces. Truly wise, knowing losses were inevitable in missions, thus sparing no expense in building the barracks; replenishing forces first.
Da Fei arrived at the special room without a door number, opened the room, and a Space Gate resembling an instance entrance appeared before him. Wahahaha! They actually installed an instance on my ship!
Nothing more to say, enter!
With a change of scenery, Da Fei found himself in a magnificent palace of classical Gothic style, pink curtains draping the walls, a giant Hexagram Formation at the center of the hall, the palace filled with a weird fragrance of sulfur that made one’s head spin. This was the Banshee Camp! Indeed filled with a seductive atmosphere! Who constructed this? The Grand Mages did? Wahahaha, worthy of Grand Mages, building hellish architecture is no issue for them!
“Hehehehe! Welcome, Master!” Deirdre wiggled her milk-white waves, twisting her milk-white midriff, walking with cat-like grace in her milk-white thighs, giggling coquettishly as she approached: “Master! Is there anything you need?”
Da Fei was moved to tears! At last, she revealed her true form! No more—no no no! Da Fei vigorously shook his head, striving to erase Nanny Rong’s figure from his mind! But, some things are so unfortunate, the less you think about them, the more they spring up! My self-control is insufficient!
Knowing her power, Da Fei dared not flirt, for now, the situation was dire, it was crucial to handle business.
Da Fei chuckled and said, “I want to recruit a Banshee Army!”
Once discussing business, Deirdre’s expression grew serious: “There are currently two soldier summoning slots in the barracks, Master needs a total of 700 gold coins.”
As a Level 4 unit, a Banshee costs only 350 gold coins each, while Jungle Hunters, as Level 3 soldiers, cost 410 gold each; what a massive loss this battle incurred! Da Fei sighed inwardly, nodding: “Recruit.”
——System Prompt: You spent 700 gold coins to begin recruiting Banshee units!
The Hexagram Formation in the palace briefly flashed red, as a dark red-skinned, horned, hooved Banshee emerged, laughing gleefully. Alas, this was an ordinary Banshee, truly no match in appearance compared to Deirdre, who infinitely approaches the look of a human woman Boss. If all the Banshees were like Deirdre, one cannot imagine how many players would queue up to join the Hell Race. No way around it, rumors say the original Banshee art design was quite stunning, but the developers in the China Region strongly opposed, unleashing a mighty censor that enveloped the world.
Then, the Hexagram Formation continued to glow red, while Deirdre cast spells before the formation with a furrowed brow.
Da Fei sensed something was off, no reason this should be slow, right?
Finally, Deirdre exerted a bit more effort, the formation flashed, and the second Banshee sauntered out late! Upon her emergence, Da Fei and Deirdre were stunned!
This was a Banshee half-shorter than normal and who astonishingly lacked a chest!
——A minor Banshee: Attack 0, Defense 0, Damage 0-1, Life 1, Attack Speed 5, Special Skill: Flying Creature.
Da Fei was dumbfounded, then suddenly exclaimed, “No way! What’s going on? How is there an underage Banshee? And it cost me 350 gold coins!!!”
Deirdre was in a state of terrified dismay: “Master! I don’t know! An underage Banshee unexpectedly responded to the barracks summoning, this is the first time this has ever happened!”
What the heck! This intentionally set to frustrate me!
