Chapter 985 - 927: Beyond-Visual-Range Warfare
At 6 PM, after finishing his takeaway, Da Fei resumed his struggle with the Sea Demon’s Song.
At this moment, Da Fei was gritting his teeth, ready to charge at the Jungle Hunter. Maybe even with survival will, they might not be able to be revived, considering once you sleep in a cold place, you might never wake up again.
In the end, he was too dependent on Selvia. Once Selvia was trapped, healing issues immediately arose. As for the Sea Demon’s Song, although he had foresight in planning to train musical troops early, the problem was that they’d just solved the teacher issue, and the formation of the troops was still far off.
Just then, Elena came over: "Lord, I see Miss Selvia can’t spare any time, Anlicia is very busy with healing, and I can’t help either. How about I lend my equipment to Anlicia?"
Da Fei suddenly realized! Oh my gosh, I’ve been too busy to remember, I forgot something as simple as swapping equipment between Vice Heroes! As long as Elena’s two Thunder God Elemental Divine Equipment sets, with 200 points of magic knowledge, are equipped, even a pig could become a Magic God, let alone Anlicia!
Wow haha! In the end, it’s all because I was willful back then, eager to appease and recruit beautiful female heroes, that I straight-up gifted the equipment, making it her personal property. I totally forgot!
Da Fei excitedly slapped his thigh and nodded repeatedly: "Great! Thanks, Elena!"
Elena laughed: "It’s the least I can do, to be honest, I’m anxious too!"
Anlicia, having received Elena’s equipment, pushed her luck: "Lord City Lord, my Mana Value is still insufficient, could you ask Miss Selvia to lend me the Sea Soul Staff?"
Oh my! All day long thinking about that old staff, doesn’t it make me exasperated? Da Fei could only nod repeatedly: "I’ll ask, I’ll ask!"
Speaking of which, Selvia is great in every respect, except she values Divine Artifacts too much, just like me. But now the major picture is more important, I believe the kid won’t have any objections.
Then Da Fei cheerfully approached Selvia, who was playing the harp with all her strength, smiling, and said: "Selvia, it’s been tough, there’s a small matter—"
Just as Da Fei finished speaking, Selvia’s harp sound suddenly swirled and her eyebrows furrowed: "Why didn’t Captain say that if I had Miss Elena’s equipment, I could directly take down that Sea Demon?"
Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched: "You can take down the Sea Demon?"
Selvia continued: "By the way, may I borrow Captain’s hat?"
No way, you’re eyeing the hat I just warmed up to! Each of you is more exasperating!
Anlicia laughed: "Alright, anyway I’m glad to be idle, let’s see how Miss Selvia takes down that Sea Demon."
Selvia seriously said: "No joking, we’re facing a completely different battle from the traditional way. We’re up against a Sea Demon that we can’t locate just a few nautical miles away. My harp sound cannot travel as far as theirs, I can only defend passively, but if my magic power is high enough, my harp sound can reach them, real battle will start, and then, Captain’s Divine Artifact Crown might take effect."
Da Fei suddenly realized! Indeed, this battle is unprecedented; it’s not a traditional face-to-face confrontation of two armies. Plus, because the battlefield is so wide and distant, it’s not even recognized by the system as a battle, but rather akin to some environmental negative effect!
In any case, let’s give it a try!
Now, Selvia is equipped with the full Elemental Set, plus the Divine Artifact Dragon King Crown, with both magic and knowledge exceeding 300 points. At the player level, this is terrifying like a Magic God, even a random Lightning Skill could wipe out a thousand archers!
Then the harp strings roared, and Da Fei’s game speaker rumbled like a bass speaker, even the water surface rippled with waves under the sound waves’ shock!
Oh my! This is the power of a Magic God-level Minstrel! Da Fei hurriedly adjusted the bass speaker, watching closely.
——System Prompt: Your vice hero Selvia has discovered the Dragon Tomb Guardian, battle starts!
Dragon Tomb Guardian?! Da Fei suddenly rejoiced, finally, a battle prompt appeared, finally recognized by the system as a battle, as Selvia said, this is the real battle, and the battlefield’s vastness also completely exceeded Da Fei’s imagination! Just then, the system prompt dinged:
——System Prompt: Your Divine Artifact Dragon King’s Crown’s Special Skill Dragon Majesty activated, Dragon Tomb Guardian receives Fear and Tremble status, unable to battle! Duration unknown.
The Divine Artifact could take effect at such a distance? Da Fei was stunned on the spot! The high-end nature of this battle totally subverted my gaming knowledge! But upon careful thought, it dawned on me!
So far, Da Fei possesses several "Domain Skills," whether it’s the earliest Flying’s Black Domain, Divine Artifact Hydra Bow’s Strong Strike Domain affecting archer range and attack speed, or Earth Dragon Boots’ Earth Domain. These domains have ranges, affecting within a radius of tens to hundreds of meters. But the Dragon King’s Crown’s special skill description explicitly ignores distance, as long as the system prompts a battle, it can take effect. This is indeed different from ordinary Divine Artifacts, a Super Divine Artifact!
But speaking of the Divine Artifact that ignores distance, the Curse Armor on Deirdre is also recognized by players as a Super Divine Artifact, which can take effect as soon as the battle begins. Why didn’t the Curse Armor activate?
The possible explanation is that this is a battle for Selvia alone. In this case, only equipping the Divine Artifact Dragon King’s Crown on her can activate it, and everyone else can only watch from the sidelines.
It must be so, realizing this layer, Da Fei was filled with emotions. The naval battle has reached this level, it’s like modern naval warfare with computer-controlled artillery and cruise missiles, crushing the enemy outside the field of vision. It means that the Dragon King’s Crown is most suitable for Selvia, and only the sound of the harp can maximally expand the influence of the Divine Skill Dragon Power!
The problem is, I never had a good helmet, and after finally getting a Divine Artifact helmet, it still has to be given to a vice hero. Isn’t this deliberately troubling me? But then again, as an attack-defense type commander, my current goal is attack speed, and this helmet doesn’t increase attack speed, so it really doesn’t suit me much either?
Which means, although this helmet is good, it’s still not my ultimate pursuit. Da Fei couldn’t help but sigh to himself. But whatever, I’ll still use it when there’s nothing going on.
Currently, Selvia’s high-pitched harp sound is rising wave after wave, and under the effect of the fear special skill, the Sea Demon’s songs are completely suppressed, and you can hardly hear their songs anymore.
Everyone couldn’t help but exclaim. Anlicia was particularly emotional: "Looks like I’ll have to take some time to learn piano from that Vice President."
Da Fei laughed in surprise: "Didn’t you say last time that the flute is easy to carry, and you wanted to learn the flute?"
Anlicia shook her head: "The flute still isn’t quite suitable for me."
Damn, it’s obvious that your impatient nature isn’t suited for learning music at all. Wait a minute! Flute? Da Fei suddenly remembered, isn’t the item to summon the Blood Eagle a Blood Eagle Flute? This is a musical instrument, right? As a Basic-level Minstrel, I’m practically a complete novice, not to mention being unable to master basic instruments, I can’t even play randomly!
No way! I’ve been provoked, I must learn the flute!
At this moment, Da Fei immediately imagined himself sitting like a monk, calmly playing the flute, terrifying the enemy’s army, and then using a show-off Divine Skill to dodge a rain of bullets and swords. The extent of showing off is just unbelievably high-level, right? Hahaha!
Just when Da Fei’s imagination was running wild, a flash of red light appeared in the Blood Eagle’s radar while scouting the enemy ahead!
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched. I finally found it; it really is this far. It was hard to find! And in the next moment, the system prompt sounded again:
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Deirdre requests to use the Curse special effect of the Combined Divine Artifact Curse Armor, do you want to use it?
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched again. The Curse Armor that ignores battlefield distance can finally be used!?
Why couldn’t it be used just now but can be used now? Isn’t it obvious, the Blood Eagle flying over is as if I’m personally there! The Curse Armor completely verified my previous theoretical speculation!
At this moment, Da Fei excitedly realized that he had opened a door to a whole new domain, that of beyond visual range warfare!
Alright, there’s no need to say more, curse fully activated. Although activating the curse doesn’t have much lethality, now is the time to research this beyond visual range warfare thoroughly. Da Fei wants to use all available skills to experience this battle. Da Fei is even considering whether to send the Blood Eagle down for a decapitation strike or send the fleet forward to chase.
Da Fei finally saw the appearance of the Sea Demon from the Blood Eagle’s perspective, with its entire body ashen-faced and sinister looking, the Undead Siren seen in the Nether Sea is just the same type, obviously undead, but its size is significantly larger, clearly more advanced than those minion Sea Demons in the Nether Sea. There’s no doubt, if players enter the Dragon Tomb through the normal route from the North Pole, they must get through them, right?
Not to mention, under the resonance of the Extreme Cold, this is indeed quite a troublesome level, quite a test of the player’s healing ability. However, to a guy like me who has even swept the Dragon Tomb, you guys are really too overconfident.
Now, the rolling black light of the curse descended from the sky, and these Sea Demons moved even more slowly, completely unable to sing anymore. They only have two options, either attack or flee! And if they attack, bring it on! I can’t wait!
At this moment, the system prompt sounded again:
——System Prompt: A group of Dragon Tomb Guardians has felt your Majesty, and are willing to surrender and follow you, do you accept?
Da Fei’s jaw dropped. Damn! I forgot they had the third option, to surrender to me! Hahaha! But thinking of their chilling appearance, Da Fei couldn’t help but feel a bit troubled. Why are they undead? But only the undead are the most qualified tomb guardians, right?
No need to say more, I accept!
