MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter
Chapter 1135 - Chapter 1135 Chapter 1135 The Key

Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135: The Key Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135: The Key Mengke whispered, “Do you think the commotion could be made by that guy?”

Lan Yan hesitated before replying, “It shouldn’t be, given the situation of the players. Who would dare to provoke two Lords? If it came to a head-on battle, the enemy could easily send out a legion of one hundred thousand to flatten us, and nobody could stop their elite legions.”

“It’s hard to say; that guy is a bit strange and elusive,” Niu Shanpao said, looking at the distant glow of fire.

Mengke also gazed at the fire in the far distance, hearing the faint sounds of explosions, and said, “That guy has always been inscrutable. In our eyes, the Griffin Legion is the elite, but he doesn’t even care about it. So many people have been fighting to death over the Gryphons for days on end. Probably the total forces lost add up to more than ten million, yet this guy just watches with glee.”

“If you put it like that, it makes sense,” Lan Yan frowned, “Those alien players are strong enough, but still, they’re stuck when facing the Gryphons. If there weren’t bigger benefits involved, who would watch for so many days as if it were a football match? But the problem is, the commotion is too massive. Fine, even if he has money, even if he bought tens of thousands of the Mechanical Legion, even if he concealed a hundred, or even two hundred thousand Vampire Legion, these forces might be sufficient against players, but attempting to take any of the two cities is an act of suicide. Again, any one of the city masters could easily send out an army to dominate the battlefield on the plains, and I fear no one could withstand them.”

The other two thought about it and realized that indeed the gap was too large. The difference between the fifth and fourth tiers wasn’t slight at all; it could be said to be as vast as the heavens from the earth. If that guy really went to Heart City, it’s likely that he’s courting death.

In fact, their analysis was spot-on. In a normal battle, the enemy could easily crush Li Yao’s forces with just one legion, but Li Yao never actually gave them a chance for a real clash of armies.

By utilizing his own advantages, then creating favorable situations for himself, that was the true reason Li Yao could plunge Blackheart Castle into chaos.

In the square, Li Yao used Mechanical Beasts to firmly hold the passageways and space, then employed Gatling guns against the patrol forces gradually coming for support from every direction, and only then was the situation able to stabilize.

And Li Yao kept detonating explosives in the sky, particularly above crowds. Actually, Li Yao would wait for the troops to reach a particular area before blowing up the pre-placed explosives there, maximizing the damage.

Only Li Yao could play with the Infinite Range Arrow like this, probably even the world’s leading Hunters couldn’t match his skill.

With continuous explosions and the air force constantly bombing crowded areas, the troops from four barracks fell into disarray since gathering together meant blowing up, turning the entire city into chaos.

Of course, added to that were the residents of the city who did not join the fray and some players who had come to the city to recuperate for other reasons, which instantly turned the situation into a complete mess.

Among the most tragic areas was Collet’s position. The Death Knights, true to their reputation as an elite Legion, remained high-spirited despite significant blows. Morale wasn’t even needed for the Undead; they only followed orders, especially many of the Undead that did not have full consciousness.

Cannons thundered violently, Stone throwers continuously launched incendiary shells, and the Death Knights charged through the sea of fire toward Collet’s lines.

Amidst the wailing of Death War Horses and under the strike of multiple layers of firepower, the Death Knights still charged crazily.

“Damn it, do they have to be so insane; do they really not fear death?” Collet’s face was grim.

With bombs raining from the sky, cannon fire, Stone throwers, and even giant crossbows, and with Mechanical Beasts shielding the front, and Gatlings firing, even with such frenzied firepower, the Death Knights continued their mad charge, as if their lives were not their own.

Especially the Death Knights that braved the Bullet Storm, using their Goblin Eater or Abomination allies as shields, getting shredded to pieces, then continuing their charge, cleaving Mechanical Beasts in front of them in two with their swords. No Mechanical Beast could withstand a hit from a Death Knight.

“Increase the aerial firepower, increase the density of aerial ammo drops, otherwise this line won’t hold for twenty minutes,” Collet screamed frantically.

The dark rangers immediately relayed the situation here, and Nicholas responded by dispatching additional troops, with the reserve Magic Breaker Troop joining the ranks of the throwers.

Although the two of them did not get along, they could differentiate the importance of matters and knew that Li Yao would not intervene in trivial disputes.

But if they caused delay to critical tasks, they both knew they were in for serious trouble, especially regarding matters related to life, death, and their future. So, they cooperated very well.

Only then did Collet feel the pressure lighten a tiny bit. Even so, the front line could not hold for long, and given the passage was at a crossroads, it wasn’t impossible for enemies to come from other directions. If they faced attacks from two fronts, he predicted the line would collapse in an instant.

Collet was heartbroken–these were his own troops–but he had no choice. If the plan failed, it would earn his lord’s disdain, and he would never see the light of day again. Thinking of his enemies and the one he held dear, his eyes reddened with fury as he became crazed.

Twenty minutes later, Li Yao had detonated all the explosives he could, while the Black Dragon Queen had arrived at the square to stabilize the situation.

Without the Hero’s blessing and command, and as the legions began to react, the situation in the square could collapse at any moment.

The losses of the mechanical beasts on Li Yao’s side were also horribly heavy; out of eighty thousand mechanical beasts, sixty thousand had fallen.

The city’s troops were simply too elite, not at all something the low-grade mechanical beasts could withstand. The Legion of Death Knights, in particular, was cutting them down one by one–the streets and courtyards around were filled with the carcasses of mechanical beasts.

“Eastern Legion of Death Knights have over thirty thousand casualties.”

“Western Legion has forty thousand casualties.”

“Northern Legion has sixty thousand casualties.”

“Southern…”

Although the kill count was impressive, exchanging their trash troops for the enemy’s elites still caused Li Yao to bleed inside.

The explosives were a minor issue, having been scrounged for free. But the bullet casings were bought with his own money, and without his own factories and mines, these consumables were staggeringly expensive.

While the victories seemed splendid, they were actually built on a foundation of Gold Coins. But the plan was still proceeding smoothly, and that was what consoled Li Yao the most.

As long as he won this time, all his losses would be recovered.

Another ten minutes passed, and a dark ranger leaped into the courtyard: “My lord, a hundred Gargoyles have been spotted, shall we shoot them all down?”

Li Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “All air forces remain concealed for now, do not let the Gargoyles detect any trace of them. I will deal with the Gargoyles myself.”

Li Yao knew the crucial moment had arrived; whether he could achieve his goal depended on his performance now…
