Zhan Yue Chapter 661

Cunning tactic

“Heart and sword are connected!”

Rumbling sounds continued ahead. The Snow Country Walkers pulled out their swords and their bodies were covered in sword energy. Their eyes were filled with fighting intent and they turned into storms that charged into the players. They jumped and used Flame Blade Thrust+Double Hit. In one instance, I was hit by three of them and suffered from 21 attacks. Fortunately, most were basic attacks with low damage. But even then, my health dropped to 30%.

“Muddy Waters!”

I raised my hand to use my god technique and instantly covered a bunch of them. At the same time, I shouted, “Damage, quick! Lock onto them!”

Everyone attacked. I targeted one of them to damage and after a flurry of attacks, my health was back to 70%. After which, I moved behind to use backstab. The bunch of Snow Country Walkers that were silenced weren’t able to use any skills and could only use basic attacks on the frontline shields. The damage was greatly reduced.

“Pay attention to stacking control skills!”

Lin Xi dealt with two of them while commanding the front. But in the next second, Muddy Waters disappeared. The Snow Country Walkers that were being targeted roared in rage. Sword energy shone and exploded from their bodies, turning into flames that pierced people in the crowd.

“Peng!”

A With You Archer was caught off guard and was hit by two Flame Blade Thursts, instantly kneeling down on the ground and dying. Shortly after, one of them that was down to 70% health roared and used Sword Tempest. Sword energy exploded, dealing damage to the close combat players. The storm completely activated and shot into the support and ranged players.

“Be careful, protect yourselves!” Cal shouted.

Instantly, Gu Ruyi, Light Frost, October Warm Sun etc used Elemental Shield. Shen Mingxuan and the other Archers used the skills that increased avoidability. In an instant, a Sword Tempest flew across the crowd like a wave. Many players shook and their health and shield durability dropped. But many of them died right away and were killed by the Snow Country Walker.

“Group heal, quick!”

Light Lantern ordered, “The next Sword Tempest is here!”

Before my words even finished, the second Sword Tempest appeared. A Snow Country Walker with 65% health was covered in red light and he entered control immunity state. At the same time, he charged forwards and slashed toward where Gu Ruyi and Shen Mingxuan were at!

“Hong--”

Another explosion as a second Sword Tempest slashed across the ranged players. Like a comb, at least a dozen of them fell. Most of them were Archers and Enchanters. There were also two Mages whose elemental shields were broken.

“Not good!”

Lin Xi rode White Deer forwards and stunned one of them before looking towards me, “Lu Li, when they used Sword Tempest they are immune, we can’t interrupt them. Their attack system is to target dense regions. We must counter them.”

“I have an idea!”

I waved my daggers and sliced up one of them and said solemnly, “Morque, do you want a tough quest?”

“Huh?”

Heaven Morque raised his head, “I sense nothing good at all!”

“You are correct.”

I said seriously, “Lin Xi and I think that they attack the densest region and not the player with the highest aggro So lead the Paladins to gather at the front, every 100 of you in a group and just get as dense as you can. The Sword Tempest can’t insta you so you just have to use Envoy of Light and Shield Wall to protect yourselves.”

“Bait?” Light Lantern was shocked.

“Right, can you do it?” I asked.

He laughed and nodded his head, “We have to try if not our ranged players will all die then how can we even play?”

“Not bad, quick!” Heaven Timber said loudly.

“Understood!”

Heaven Morque pulled the reins and raised his sword, “Paladin brothers, follow me. 100 of you as a group and gather in front of the formation. Hug each other and heal one another. No one is to die, right away!”

Paladins charged out from the crowd and formed 8 barrels in front of our formation. Before the formation was formed, the low health and half health Snow Country Walkers couldn’t take it and threw their Sword Tempest out. This large scale Aoe was what they loved. One sword tempest and each of them lost 15-20% of their health, it was like scratching an itch. They used Envoy of Light and heals, making it impossible for the Snow Country Walkers to kill anyone.

“It is really working…”

Cal opened her mouth slightly and smiled, “Lu Li this fellow is so smart!”

I smiled and continued to order them to attack the walkers.

……

Not long later, Winds of Battle who suffered huge losses looked over. Zilong opened his eyes, “Damn, With You’s range team seems perfectly fine. What is going on? Why are their Paladins at the front like gays?”

“Damn!”

Fengxian understood, “With You is using the bug system to dodge the Sword Tempest damage. Look, the Walkers are all attacking those Paladins!”

“No wonder!”

Zilong shouted, “Brothers, With You has shown us an example. Let’s learn from them to reduce our losses. Quickly, don’t hesitate, follow me!”

Very quickly, Winds of Battle had 6 Paladin formations ahead, exactly the same as With You.

Not long later, Limitless, Dragonrider Hall, Cloud Ocean, Lingyan Pavilion etc learned and all formed their own formations. The Walker’s damage was greatly reduced. One could say that if players didn’t learn then the ranged players would all get wiped. But once they used this strategy, the damage that the walkers did could be tanked.

……

Human Formation.

Walkers dashed across and slashed into the shield soldiers. Those infantry soldiers couldn’t block the sword energy at all. They pierced through the steel shields and killed the heavy armored players. Moreover, the Snow Country Walkers aimed at the NPCs and at least 5000 of them attacked the formation. This was far more than what the players could tank.

“Damn!”

An infantry general holding a broadsword bit his teeth, “We can’t let these jerks breakthrough. God Archer Camp, fire and restrict them!”

“Yes Sir!”

The Archers pulled open their bows and in the next second, numerous arrows shot out. The Snow Country Walkers that was at the front was covered in arrows like a porcupine and his chest was filled with inscription light arrows. The moment he knelt down, figures flew across the sky. Their bodies were covered in sword energy and they used Sword Tempest.

In just three seconds, hundreds of Archers were turned into bodies that fell in a pool of blood. The Snow Country Walkers’ sword energy was really strong. After facing the NPC army, these Walkers were like a whole different beast!

“Damn!”

The general dashed forwards, the douqi on the blade buzzed and with just two hits he knocked two of them aside. But he too was knocked back. A snow dot appeared in the sky and when he raised his head, a sword pierced through his throat. It avoided his armor and directly killed him!

“Scoff!”

Fresh blood spurted on the ground. The Snow Country Walker that killed him looked coldly and said, “His Majesty gave an order, charge and kill Guan Yang!”

“Yes!”

A bunch of Snow Country Walkers dashed forwards.

……

“Report!”

On the backline, a messenger rode his horse over and knelt in front of Wang Shuang, “General, not good, frontline Side General Han Xushan has been killed by the Snow Country Walker!”

“Damn…”

Wang Shuang held his sword and said, “Guards Unit, follow me. I want to see how strong these Walkers are, do they have the ability to slice off his head in front of such a huge army!”

Ad

“Yes!”

At this moment, an old voice spread from the sky, “General Wang Shuang, don’t be angry.”

It was Guan Yang.

“Duke, I…” Wang Shuang gritted his teeth, “Duke the infantry unit’s Han Xushan has died!”

“I know.”

Guan Yang said solemnly, “You are one of the main generals so how can you take such a risk? Messenger, let the Infantry Unit and God Archers change formations. If not then send the Heaven Cavalry Unit out. As for you, just lead. Remember, you are a general, don’t be rash.”

“Yes, I understand!”

Wang Shuang gritted his teeth, “Do you all hear that? Messenger, tell the troops to change formations to block the Snow Country Walkers.”

“Yes sir!”
