L'ère des dieux - Chapitre 36

His army of Kobolds was pretty effective when dealing with races of the same low level. They could pull off a one-versus-two or even better. pourtant, when faced with a number of powerful enemies, their huge racial disadvantage would begin to show.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t tried facing up against one single powerful entity. He had prepared Monster Cards by himself and summoned them in his Divine Realm for training purpose, and the outcome was pretty great.

pourtant, he had never trained his Spawn with mass numbers of creatures at the intermediate level or above. Aside from the fact that he didn’t have the resources, he wasn’t bold enough to do so. Après tout, those fights would take place within his own Divine Realm. Should it spiral out of control, il en aurait fini pour.

Now he knew what the outcome would be when this Kobold army, which he had trained himself, faced up against powerful enemies—utter defeat!

Oui. He still managed to hold on at the beginning, but as more and more Kobolds were killed, their morale began to decline, while the demons’ morale gradually increased as the slaughter went on. Finalement, a total collapse occurred.

When the massive Havoc Demons’ were slaughtering the Kobolds, it felt like giants stomping over children. They would grab them and tear them apart in one cruel motion. The gruesome image crushed the Kobolds’ dwindling moral even more rapidly.

À l'heure actuelle, his defeat was certain. There were still some 500 Sa flamme peut absorber d'autres flammes ou énergie pour évoluer 600 Kobolds left, but all of them were being hunted by the remaining 170 Sa flamme peut absorber d'autres flammes ou énergie pour évoluer 180 Havoc Demons. It was only a matter of time before all of them were massacred.

Meng Hui, éliminé!

In the plane were Yuan Hong was located, he was currently fighting the first wave of Havoc Demons. Compared to Meng Hui’s utter defeat, he was doing much better.

Compared to Meng Hui’s pure close-combat approach, he had loaded an Archer Profession Card into his Divine Realm. Nearly half of his Spawn, the Lizardmen, had re-spec’d into Lizardmen Archers.

The reason he didn’t re-spec all of them was that a ranged profession like archers would require melee attackers to create the appropriate battle conditions. Going pure range was powerful, but once the enemy got close, it would end in slaughter.

Aside from being able to switch professions, the greatest benefit of Profession Cards was that, for the Lizardmen who had re-spec’d, aside from having their Troop Level raised via the regular means of killing, they could elevate their Profession Level via training. Among the more than 1000 Lizardmen Archers, a couple hundred of them were level-1 Archers, and there were even a few dozen level-2 Archers. This served as his main trump card.

Relying on this elite archer force, after paying huge casualties, the Havoc Demons were eventually ground to death, l'un après l'autre. À l'heure actuelle, the battle had come to an end.

But he wasn’t too happy about it. To resist this wave of Havoc Demons, over half of the melee Lizardmen died. The death toll was more than two-thirds.

According to the rules of the Endless mode, where waves would be increasingly difficult, his remaining Lizardmen could never withstand the assault of the next wave of enemies. C'était à dire, it would be very difficult for him to survive the next wave of enemies.

Heureusement, given that even he was having a hard time in persisting, it must be even harder for his other classmates. The next wave would probably decide the winners.

À ce moment là, Qiao Liang, class teacher of First Class, était debout, hands-folded in front of a semi plane. Judging from the smile on his face, he was in a very good mood. Tout à coup, he raised his head and looked off to the side as if he was communicating with someone,

“Tu réfléchis trop. If Yan Renjia of your class can pass, why would Wan Ying of my class fail?”

In the semi plane before his eyes, thousands of Harpies were flapped their wings and hovered in midair while unleashing waves of arrows. The dozens of remaining Havoc Demons roared furiously, facing the air with a rage on their faces that couldn’t get any more intense.

pourtant, they couldn’t fly, and they didn’t even have weapons to throw. Facing up against the enemies flying in the sky, they were powerless, at the mercy of the Harpies.

With the outcome a foregone conclusion, Qiao Liang looked away and said with a smile, “The first and second place of this bonus challenge definitely belongs to Wan Ying and Yuan Renjie. As for the third place, it’s hard to say.”

On another semi place some distance away from this one, Zheng Yifan, class teacher of Second Class nodded and answered, “You wanna bet? We won’t bet on first and second place. Let’s bet on the third. Whoever loses has to give three 5-Star Cards to the other person’s student.”

“"C'est juste quelque chose que j'ai réussi à entendre ici et là.". I’d go for Li Qing of my class. Et vous? Tian Wei or Yao Shuangxi?”

Zheng Yifan already had a name in mind. Il a souri et a dit, “You guessed wrong this time. I’m betting on Yuan Hong from Third Class.”

“Yuan Hong?”

“Oui!”

Zheng Yifan looked at the semi plane in front of him and muttered,”All three of them have the Archer Profession. If the next wave isn’t a heavy-armor type like Havoc Demons, it’s very likely that he’ll survive.”

Dans le semi-plan, a big mass of Lizardmen Archers who looked the same as Yuan Hong’s Spawn but much fewer in numbers were resting on the ground full of corpses. Slightly different from Yuan Hong’s Lizardman, this type of Lizardman had red skin, not the blood-red kind of red, but lava-red kind of red.

If Lin Xiao was there, he would definitely call out the name of this race in astonishment—— Lava Lizardmen.

This was a mutant Lizardman type that would live on the edge of a volcano or magma landforms. It was classified as an intermediate-level mutant species. After obtaining the race, Yan Renjie loaded the Profession template of Archer, and re-spec’d them to a powerful class called the Lava Archer.

Different from the Lizardmen Archer, the attacks of the Lava Archer would inflict additional fire damage and apply the Lava Sunder Armor debuff.

During the Havoc Demon wave earlier on, he had relied on Lava Sunder Armor to apply Armorbreak and the additional fire damage inflicted to shoot them to their deaths.

In Lin Xiao’s semi plane, the battle of the current wave was coming to an end. Under Lin Xiao’s guidance, the Naga used the remaining Murlocs as fodder to divert the Havoc Demon’s attention and stalled until Salted Fish Spike came off cooldown, and delivered a decisive round of burst attacks, instantly killing almost half of the Havoc Demons in one go. All the remaining Havoc Demons were severely injured and were no longer a threat to the Nagas.

In the challenge, the players couldn’t directly participate in the battle. Après tout, based on how powerful divine lives were, they would be able to clean all three levels all by themselves. pourtant, they could cast Divine Techniques to provide assistance, et, bien sûr, give pointers from off-field.

After all the Havoc Demons were killed, the battle ended. The next wave of monsters hadn’t appeared yet.

Although this was the Endless mode, it still had its rules. With each wave, the time interval between would slowly increase.

The first wave only had a cooldown of one minute, while the cooldown for the last wave was as long as five minutes. For the Havoc Demon wave, the cooldown time was as long as six minutes, which meant that an extra one minute of preparation time would be added for every wave passed.

While there was still time, Lin Xiao conveyed the tactic for the next wave to the few Naga leaders in the form of a Sacred Decree.

No matter how urgent the situation was, one mustn’t lose their presence of mind. Dans cette situation, some players would be compelled to get involved personally. Impatient, they would do stupid things like directly command their Spawn, which was very unwise.

The commanding ability of Gods wasn’t necessarily outstanding. The correct method was to just communicate with the leaders of their Spawn. As the actual commanders, with the leaders being on the battlefield themselves, they would have an excellent understanding of the situation. As Gods could see what the leaders couldn’t from their heavenly vantage point. Combining the two would greatly hike up their win rate.

Lin Xiao knew very well that his commanding talents were only average, so he didn’t directly instruct his Spawn on how they should fight. Au lieu, he allowed them to use his greatest advantage.

As long as he made good use of his greatest advantage, surviving the next wave wouldn’t be difficult.
