Chapter 279: 279, Final Battle in Orleans City (II) Su Yu Dueling against 700,000 Rebels_1
Looking at the enemy camp below, Su Yu’s eyes lit up, and an idea came to mind:
He might not contribute much to a battle involving high-ranking fighters, but he could ambush the rebel forces below him!
Eliminating rebels would earn him a lot of [Battle Merits], which he could exchange for valuable items from the military quartermaster.
Although the items available for exchange were of little use to Su Yu, he could give them to Swift, Sky Dragon, or A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated to quickly aid their growth.
And with that, he took action.
Su Yu charged toward the mass of rebel troops.
Of course, the rebel mid-high-ranking officers were constantly observing the ongoing battle above their heads. The sight of Su Yu diving down startled many of them.
According to unwritten rules, fighters ranked fifth order or above were not allowed to attack regular troops. Doing so would uphold their dignity and prevent a reputation loss from indiscriminate killing.
But since Su Yu was, after all, an adventurer from another world, it made sense that he wouldn’t abide by these rules. Seeing him dive down made the rebel officers quite uncomfortable.
But Su Yu was almost upon them, and even if they felt uncomfortable, they had to react immediately.
A general in the heart of the rebel forces bellowed, “Archers and mage legion, get ready to bring down Nemesis!”
“Roger!” the archers’ command captain (fourth-order peak) and the legion’s chief mage (fourth-order peak) responded simultaneously.
Then, they had their teams hold their positions.
The archers utilized the [Spirit Link] skill and the mage legion used the [Magic Link] skill to gather their combined spiritual and magical energies, preparing for high-ranking arrow and magic attacks.
The [Spirit Link] and [Magic Link] skills were the only ways for low-ranking practitioners to combat high-ranked ones.
For instance, a group of mages standing in a special formation can use [Magic Link] to concentrate all their magic power on one designated person. Under the massive magic boost, the designated person can use high-ranked spells beyond their normal capabilities.
Typically, the spell power of twelve fourth-order mages using [Magic Link] is almost equal to that of a fifth-order mage.
120 fourth-order mages using [Magic Link] could be almost equivalent to a single sixth-order Sanctuary mage – provided the Sanctuary mage stood still, of course.
The rebel mage legion numbered over 3,000, and there were tens of thousands in the archer formation!
With so many people using [Spirit Link] and [Magic Link] combined, wouldn’t it be an easy task to take down a minuscule enemy like Nemesis?
Of course, Su Yu realized this as well. A regular army was indeed a tough nut to crack.
He couldn’t help but shift his gaze towards the player forces on both sides.
Players were no doubt easy targets. After all, all of them were first-order and very frail.
How about he take a swing at the player forces?
The players on the rebel side, seeing the look in Su Yu’s eyes, immediately understood what he was thinking.
Many players, with grim faces, cried out to the sky, “Boss Ke, please spare us!”
“Boss Ke, we are counting on this battle to earn some merits, please have mercy!”
“Absolutely, we’re pitiful enough already, please have mercy!”
“Boss Ke…”
Su Yu:
Reflecting on it, the rebel-side players hadn’t won a single battle in the whole campaign, and received barely any rewards. Being swept off the battlefield by him add insult to injury.
“Forget it.” Su Yu shifted his gaze back to the regular forces.
No matter how tough the bone, someone needs to gnaw on it. He decided to attack while his current buffs lasted.
Su Yu no longer hesitated and quickly darted towards the rebel regular forces.
“Hmmph! Seeking your own death!”
Upon seeing Su Yu charging his way, the general scoffed and commanded, “Mage legion, archers, attack!”
“Understood!”
As soon as the general gave the order, three arrows imbued with surging spiritual energy, arranged in a “品” shape, swiftly flew towards Su Yu, almost immediately reaching a point just a dozen meters in front of him.
As for the mage legion, they initially cast a fourth-order lightning defense spell, [Lightning Barrier], to protect their formation, followed by a fifth-order fire control spell, [Flame Prison].
[Flame Prison] is a rare targeted spell. Once successfully cast, no matter how fast Su Yu moves, even if he uses the Flash Skill for teleportation, it can still hit him accurately.
But Su Yu was unconcerned.
Upon realizing that the mage legion was casting [Flame Prison], he instantly thought of a counter strategy.
He used the Flash Skill to zip several dozen meters away in an instant, avoiding the three powerful arrows.
Next, he activated the [Buoyant Ice] skill from his shoes. While quickly moving around in the sky to avoid subsequent arrows from the Archer formation, he condensed mana to cast a 20 times thick [Lightning Shield].
Buzz
Five seconds later, the ultra-thick [Lightning Shield] was successfully formed.
Simultaneously, a sixth-order spell, [Flame Prison], struck him, wrapping him in dense fire elements layers over 3 meters thick. Su Yu couldn’t even see the outside world.
The dense fire elements collided with Su Yu’s [Lightning Shield], causing a harsh magical explosion. Still, thankfully, the damage from [Flame Prison] was not high and got easily blocked by Su Yu’s [Lightning Shield].
Then, Su Yu immediately used his [Advanced Scholar’s Badge] to break free from the control, successfully escaping from the [Flame Prison].
Seeing Su Yu escape, the rebel mages weren’t too surprised.
They weren’t optimistic that a single control spell would fully rein Su Yu in.
The moment Su Yu broke free of their control, they immediately began casting another control spell: [Ice Coffin].
[Ice Coffin] is another rarely seen locked spell, and they wanted to see how many means Su Yu had to break free from control.
But Su Yu didn’t just stand there and take hits, and he wouldn’t let the mage legion freely cast spells.
After escaping from [Flame Prison], he took out the Village Chief’s Staff, used two consecutive Flash Skills to evade incoming arrows from the archer formation and quickly moved to a location few dozen meters from the mage legion.
But the mage legion paid him no heed.
The legion was enveloped by a thick [Lightning Barrier], offering complete safety.
They were confident that Su Yu couldn’t break the [Lightning Barrier] in a short time. So they didn’t stop their casting, and continued throwing [Ice Coffin] at Su Yu.
Seeing the reaction from the mage legion, Su Yu smirked.
“Come out, Diamond!”
The Lighthouse Sudden Chill suit on Su Yu’s body emitted blinding blue light.
A brown gorilla over 30 meters tall appeared in front of Su Yu. Its iron fists, accompanied by the sound of the rushing wind, mercilessly pounded the [Lightning Barrier].
