Chapter 991 - 933: Taking the Unconventional Path
The fierce wind mixed with ice shards roared from the front of the ice valley, suddenly halting the ship’s speed, and then the troops began losing health with "-1" "-1", indeed, the legendary wind like a knife!
However, the Angel Army didn’t lose health, clearly due to the "-1 physical damage" attribute of their Dragon Blood Armor. That’s good, since the regular troops aren’t needed, Da Fei immediately transfers all the regular troops into the cabin.
Just then, the Siren shouted, "Master, you can make your statement, we will convey the master’s intention."
Da Fei nodded, "Selvia, begin!"
Equipped with divine gear and the Sea Soul Staff with a large reserve of Mana, Selvia could hardly wait. With a strike of the strings, a hum filled the air, and the whole ice valley echoed, much louder than earlier in the underground!
Da Fei’s brows jumped! Meaning this Echo Ice Valley, although an excellent battlefield for the Sirens, is also an excellent battlefield for our army. Now, it’s a matter of whose music is more exhilarating. Our only disadvantage is being against the wind, not only hindering the fleet’s advance but also greatly affecting the spread of sound. But being against the wind is fine, it’s an opportunity for talent growth.
As the strings reverberated, the Siren Army also began to sing loudly. Under the interwoven pressure of song and music, the sound of the wind dimmed, and the next moment, loud singing could be heard from the front of the ice valley.
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia has discovered the Siren Sea Demon Troop, the battle begins!
It has begun!
Da Fei immediately commands the Blood Eagle to search along the direction of the singing. Compared to the wide cave earlier where the sound direction was indistinct, finding opponents in the ice valley is obviously much easier. Soon, dozens of red dots appeared ahead of the Blood Eagle; there they are, a group of Siren Sea Demons singing and waving in the ice valley!
The same eagle-body fish-tail, but the skin is much more lively in light blue, not the dull gray. Light blue hair is also styled, facial features are much more refined, this must be the living spirit form of the Sirens. Although not remarkably beautiful, much more pleasing than these undead Sirens, clearly, both sides have been confronting each other for so long, the opponent was not intimidated, their overall strength was evidently much stronger.
And then it finally came, the system prompt ding:
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Deirdre requests to use the curse effect of the Combined Divine Artifact Curse Armor, do you wish to use it?
Oh yeah! When Brother’s eyes are open, it’s like Brother is on the battlefield, use it!
The pitch-black curse black light descends from the sky, the rhythm of the singing sea demons abruptly slows, the force of the wind diminishes, and the next moment, a flash of golden light appears on Selvia’s head!
——System Prompt: The special skill Dragon Majesty of the Divine Artifact Dragon King’s Crown takes effect, the Siren Sea Demon Troop is struck by fear and trembling, unable to fight! Duration unknown.
At this moment, the opponent’s singing halts, the wind stops!
Da Fei laughed aloud! I said, holding out before Brother’s Dragon Power as long as you did was impressive enough, aren’t you ready to admit defeat now?
Getting complacent, the Siren Sea Demons, still recovering from fear, suddenly retreated en masse, instantly disappearing from the Blood Eagle’s sight, whereabouts unknown.
——System Prompt: Battle over! The Siren Sea Demon Troop fears your power and fled, you gained experience +80,000.
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia obtained Master-level Minstrel information.
——System Prompt: You obtained Advanced Minstrel information.
Da Fei was stunned on the spot, they fled! Won just like that? Hey hey hey, Brother just got into the groove, was looking forward to fighting and gaining insights, and they just fled? Only 80,000 experience?
At this moment, the Siren spoke again, "Master, the Siren Clan is very adept at preserving themselves. Once they find the situation unfavorable, they will immediately retreat. So, please master, continue advancing, the deeper we go into the Siren Territory, the more frequent battles we will encounter, eventually leading to an official dialogue!"
Fine, as long as there are more battles ahead. Da Fei nods, "Then continue to lead the way!"
"Yes, Master!"
Now, the fleet proceeds through the narrow ice valley channel. After the first battle, in the view of the Blood Eagle, the sky above the entire icefield becomes lively with various "birds" flying back and forth. Da Fei realizes tensely, this is the Sirens mobilizing troops, the real great choral performance is about to begin.
Facing the current situation, Da Fei starts to feel uneasy. Though Da Fei has confidence in Selvia’s divine gear, and also in the Divine Artifact Effect Dragon Majesty, fighting through this has let Da Fei see the features of Dragon Majesty a bit — it’s not very effective against large numbers of troops; the courage of numbers.
Moreover, from a game balance perspective, it shouldn’t be effective against large units. This is similar to players using large troops to counteract magic damage.
In conclusion, the great choral performance is definitely unfavorable for us. But I’ve already triggered the introduction event, no matter how unfavorable, we can’t end up defeated. Not to mention my world reputation here; being able to negotiate with the giant crab of the Nether Sea and the undead Siren of the Nether Sea means negotiation here should be doable as well.
So the difference lies in negotiating well or just decently. Clearly, as long as I can withstand their great choral performance and earn their recognition, negotiations will be successful? From the normal task logic of the game, this is certainly true.
However, given the Sirens’ hit-and-run guerrilla tactics, even if I persevere through, if they still refuse to negotiate, withdraw en masse, then continue organizing guerrilla tactics against Brother, then it becomes tough! Although Selvia’s Sea Soul Staff has several tens of thousands of Mana reserves, it can’t endure such consumption!
Moreover, a prolonged consumption battle won’t showcase Brother’s prowess, and will certainly lower NPC’s evaluation of me. Why could Brother win over the giant crab in a single battle? Because Brother’s blitzkrieg gave the opponent the illusion that Brother is divine. So in this battle, Brother can’t follow normal logic; Brother must surprise, speed and decisiveness!
How to achieve speed and decisiveness? Simple, those who can flee can’t flee from the temple! No matter how guerrilla and flexible they are, their stronghold can’t be moved! Brother will evade the choral concert arrangements and directly teleport with the Flying ship to directly strike at their base, they won’t be able to not negotiate!
Indeed, the wind of the canyon can block regular ships, but it can’t block Brother’s teleporting ship, wahahaha! Brother is truly the world’s top expert!
So Da Fei hurriedly asked the Siren, "Do you know where your Clan Leader resides? My Flying ship can teleport; I’ll leave the other ships and directly fly the Flying ship to meet her."
The Siren was shocked, "Master, even the most friendly guests can’t appear near Ice Song City without prior notice; it will be considered the most threatening provocation to the Clan Leader, the consequences could be disastrous!"
Ice Song City?! There is actually a city in the North Pole! Da Fei’s brows jumped, "Your life is limited, and I don’t want to waste it tangling with ordinary soldiers. I just want the Siren Clan Leader to acknowledge my capabilities and value me as a future partner. If getting too close to Ice Song City provokes the Clan Leader, can you suggest a distance that wouldn’t stimulate her too much?"
The Siren remained silent for a while, then said solemnly, "It’s hard to say, but in any case, the Master will inevitably have to fight a battle, and must not excessively harm the Siren Clan’s people. If Master has this confidence, I’ll provide guidance."
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped in shock, man! Can’t harm the opponent! This is the legendary conquer through virtue, a super difficult realm!
Super difficult, right? At this moment, Da Fei’s inner flame reignited fiercely! The super difficult challenge is just what Brother is prepared for!
However, stillness before action, the key is whether the Flying ship has enough energy; Brother not only needs to teleport against the wind, but must also have enough energy to spare for a return teleport, which should be with the wind, right?
Then Da Fei urgently consulted Tamilia about the situation. Tamilia replied, "Lord City Lord, rest assured, Flying currently has 10 Charging Crystals all filled with energy, and the internal energy storage of the Flying can support multiple short-distance teleports, and can also support the release of the dark domain."
I see! Alright, let’s conquer through virtue! (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com) with recommendation tickets or monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
