Chapter 95 - 92: Sniper Before the Breakout
Chapter 95 -92: Sniper Before the Breakout
As Da Fei was preparing to beat a retreat, the rolling thunder of iron hooves came from the ground, and a group of Horse Dog Patrols sped over, kicking up clouds of dust. Clearly, the sudden darkening of the tower had attracted the attention of the patrols.
Da Fei felt his heart tighten. Trouble!
For the Charming Emperor’s Army, having the special skill of an Independent Expedition Scout was no big deal; they could be called to flee at any time. But not the Flower Demons! These regular troops had to escape with their hero. If it weren’t for the game rules restricting them, Da Fei would surely blurt out “Just fly into the barrier and forget about me!” But the game is the game; if the commander Da Fei couldn’t escape, neither could they. Once Da Fei was taken down, his troops would have to either fight to the death or scatter like birds and beasts according to the game rules. In short, this rescue mission was futile.
Fortunately, Da Fei had still kept a battleship cannon to cover his escape. They just need to pave the way forcefully with the Crossbow Cannon, especially now that the watchtower has drawn their attention, making it more convenient as they haven’t discovered the golden barrier and the warship within it.
Here they come! A Blood Armor Knight riding a Nightmare Beast charged ahead, the famous 8-tier soldier, the Hell Baron, right? Da Fei didn’t care what title it held, at most it was a BOSS for him to kill; he had slain hundreds, if not a thousand BOSSes before, not to mention now that sixteen Crossbow Cannons were aiming at them!
This Blood Armor Knight rode to the foot of the watchtower and bellowed in rage, “Damn it! What’s going with this watchtower! Why isn’t it working!”
Da Fei was momentarily startled, an 8-tier soldier that could talk? While troops could say simple commands like “YES, SIR,” this was clearly more than a simple command.
No one answered. The impatient Blood Armor Knight dismounted, walked up to the door of the watchtower, and kicked it fiercely, “Open up!”
Da Fei’s eyes widened in shock. There was a fiery red Hero Aura under this brute’s feet! Holy shit! He was a Hell Race’s hero! He hadn’t noticed that when the hero was riding a flame-engulfed Hell Horse previously!
In that instant, Da Fei made a snap decision—blast him! The Phantom Crossbow Cannons fired twice in quick succession! All the cannons aimed at the main door! Both the warship and Da Fei were in the same battle area; as the supreme commander, Da Fei could naturally command the troops on-site. This was the convenience of the game.
At that moment, the hero roared, “Daring to neglect duties! I’ll strangle you myself!”
Another kick—Boom! The watchtower’s door burst open explosively!
Da Fei’s eyes widened in shock. That’s the door of the watchtower, equivalent to a small city gate! Could his strength alone smash city gates? Just how ferocious was this hero! Thinking of how powerful the hero he was targeting was, Da Fei’s heart raced to his throat! Simultaneously, a more fanatic thought uncontrollably surged in his mind—kill him!
What would killing such a powerful hero mean? Such a mighty hero was simply unheard of in regular times! Right, 8-tier soldiers were the imperial guards of the Demon King Hall, not seen by ordinary people in ordinary circumstances. What was an 8-tier hero equivalent to? A 7-tier troop in the Human Race is an Angel, so this 8-tier hero must be akin to an Angel Leader or something? Now, this scenario where my sixteen Crossbow Cannons, known as the legendary Phantom Crossbow Cannons, were aiming at him yet he was completely unaware—it was a once in a lifetime opportunity! Da Fei clenched his fist tight!
——Clang! Another fierce kick, and the watchtower door burst open with a loud bang!
——Now is the time!!!
From within the barrier, a dozen Crossbow Arrows shot out. Perhaps the loud noise of kicking the door masked the sound of the Crossbow Arrows, or perhaps the hero, who was just raising his leg to kick, couldn’t adjust his position or strength, only managed to tilt his head slightly——Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!!!
Amidst the spray of ice shards, he was blasted into the watchtower! This was the effect they needed, and Da Fei was so thrilled he almost jumped!
In that instant, the outside troops went berserk!
——Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo!!! A second volley from the Crossbow Cannon followed, bombarding into the watchtower door, with ice shards from the Phantom Crossbow Arrows exploding again!
During the bombing of ice shards, the dozens of Hellhounds from the patrol outside could no longer withstand the second magic attack and burst violently!
Da Fei’s eyes widened in shock! No system prompt! The hero wasn’t dead yet! Ten plus Crossbow Arrows and a Magic Arrow directly hit his back, and he’s still not dead! Could this be a Boss-level hero? A hero like Renior?
Saturate the attack!!! Blast! Continue blasting! Furiously demolish this tower!!! Da Fei clenched his teeth, his expression contorted grotesquely!
The entire Demon Camp’s alarm sounded! Large patrol squads began to converge here; at the same time, the gates of the Demon Race’s mechanical workshop rumbled open, and the huge sound of machinery grinding echoed throughout the camp. Although unknown, it sounded like a secret weapon.
Da Fei’s heart tangled in knots. Battling a hero who could annihilate level 8 soldiers seemed utterly unrealistic, didn’t it? He wasn’t resigned! He would wait for one last cannon shot, successful or not, and then break through forcefully!
One second! Two seconds! Time seemed to come to a standstill for Da Fei. He had never imagined that the passage of time could feel so slow; so the slow-motion replays of critical goals in TV shows were indeed a real thing! That was the actual portrayal of the world from a player’s viewpoint!
As if transcending time and space, a row of Crossbow Cannons pierced through the golden screen! At this moment, Da Fei felt his vision twisting! Was it the sweat blurring his eyes? Was he hallucinating from the tension?
— Boom Boom Boom Boom!!! Debris flew around the Watchtower!
Da Fei’s eyes widened! It wasn’t sweat blurring his vision, nor was it a hallucination, but indeed something appeared before him! A red object not far in front of him! It was a Blood Armor Knight, its back bristling with Crossbow Arrows and coated in frost!
Da Fei’s jaw dropped! This was the Teleportation Movement of a Great Demon! He transcended even a Great Demon; he could teleport! He moved to a position where the current range of the Crossbow Cannon couldn’t reach! He, kneeling on the ground, wasn’t in good condition!
Finish him off!!!
In that instant, without thinking of anything else, Da Fei swung his hand, and the hidden Flower Demon Charm Emperor in the illusion leapt forward!
— System Prompt: Your troops have engaged in battle, the effects of Phantom March are lost!
Faced with the sudden onslaught by the overpowering Flower Demon, the hero of level 8 soldiers let out a shrill and desperate scream: “Help!!!”
The Hell Horse Army at the Watchtower entrance, indecisive a moment ago, now spurred their blazing hooves and charged over furiously!
Da Fei realized his mistake, and this one could mean scattering the Flower Demon Army like birds and beasts. No, even if it was a mistake, he would brave the onslaught to finish off this hero! He could still send away the Charm Emperor before the defeat!
Da Fei charged towards the critically wounded hero amidst the swirling sparkling dust, with a chrysanthemum reaching first, followed by a spear thrusting like a dragon!
— System Prompt: Congratulations! You’ve defeated the Epic Hero Asmode, gaining Experience +500,000! You receive 20,000 Gold Coins! You’ve acquired the enemy’s strategic treasure “Misfortune Hourglass”!
— System Prompt: Congratulations! You earned the achievement “Third Campaign Victory”, awarding a Command Power +10.
— System Prompt: Congratulations! You have leveled up to level 27! You gain +1 free attribute point…
— System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Selvia has leveled up to level 22!
— System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Charm Emperor’s Army has endured the harshest battle and grown into qualified soldiers!
Da Fei laughed heartily! With the hero’s defeat, a part of the charging Nightmare Beasts collapsed thunderously, while another part continued their assault!
Break out! Escape as much as possible!
