Chapter 1506 - 1404: Time to Test the Troops
Right now, Blood Flame Lilim officially took her place in the Holy Vine Array, and the entire array began to emit a faint bloody glow. The Holy Vine had fused with the Hydra Soul and possessed energy of nine attributes; second only to the strongest Dark Element was the Blood element, so its basic power was guaranteed not to disappoint.
Da Fei wasn’t just training these nine newbies for their promotion; more importantly, he was assessing whether this new troop type was worth mass-producing later. After all, Lilith Blood Stone was extremely rare, and key point was that Hilda also needed it. If he could avoid investing too much into a troop type, then he’d avoid it as much as possible.
Da Fei was even suspecting that Hilda being so eager to recommend producing small-sized troops—wasn’t that also to help him save resources? If Hilda really had that kind of private agenda, then damn, that’s God-level AI intelligence for sure!
The Hell Army on the riverbank moved, surging over like a sea of fire. The very front were still the cannon fodder of cannon fodder, the self-destructing Horned Demon Army. Their role in a siege battle was still just one thing: charge to the wall at the riverbank and self-destruct to drain the wall’s Durability. Of course, if the enemy hero was strong enough, they could directly teleport tons of Horned Demons up onto the high cliff villages and towns to explode.
In front of the absolute numerical superiority where "whip thrown and rivers broken," a mere underground river was completely insufficient to block the enemy’s overall assault steps, and a mere Flying was completely insufficient to draw all of the Hell Army’s firepower. The next moment, the sea of fire would drown the moat, and countless self-detonating blasts of flesh and blood boomed under the city wall. The Flying’s Crossbow Cannon roars, the whistling arrow rain from the city wall, intertwined and rose and fell over a battlefield shrouded in thick fog.
At this moment, at the very front line, Da Fei looked at the flesh plastered all over the wall and the battlefield where blood flowed like a river, and he was so pumped he couldn’t help but let out a shrill scream!
He’d originally planned to shoot his own way into a Blood Sea and Corpse Mountain, but the enemy was so "considerate" as to deliver themselves to his door, saving him even that bit of trouble!
Then keep going! Bro wants more! Wahahahaha!
Just then, Da Fei’s friend message rang; it was Sly God again: "Mr. Da Fei, the Durability of the moat wall is down to only one-third! Once the enemy destroys the wall and attacks to the foot of the high cliff, at that distance the Abyss Demons can directly cast Meteor Shower to bomb the whole town, and the enemy can directly teleport troops into the village, and they can even open a Hell Gate right inside town to keep summoning mirror-image cannon fodder. At that point the losses to the town will be huge!"
Yeah, this is what you get when you have no engineer units and the players have to build a tofu-dreg project by themselves! Bro’s ship hasn’t even lost a single hair, just saying.
Da Fei sighed and said, "I still haven’t found the right timing to go on the offensive! We can only weather this together. I hope your Japan can hold; if you yourselves can’t hold, what’s a National War passerby like me supposed to risk my life for?"
Sly God could only reply, "All right, we will go all out!"
At this moment, the entire Mitsubishi Command Center was steeped in anxiety. The thick fog not only made the Mitsubishi Team completely unable to see the situation on the battlefield, it also filled them with doubts about Da Fei’s intentions.
Gunno Yosai said in a low voice, "Da Fei clearly has the strength to crush a ground army, yet he’s been slow to make a move. Is he trying to use the NPCs’ strength to destroy Lamia Village?"
Sessho Kanpaku: "You mean Da Fei is dissatisfied with the distribution plan for slave Merit and has had a change of heart?"
Gunno Yosai gritted his teeth: "Exactly! He’s just a National War passerby. If he can’t achieve absolute dominance in a short period and get satisfactory gains, he’s likely to change his mind—if he can’t get it, he won’t let us get it either."
Sessho Kanpaku: "If he’s changed his mind, he could just flee right now, no?"
Gunno Yosai sneered: "He’s probably still hesitating and observing. After all, he also needs us to help him complete his National War quest, right?"
Tsukamoto said coldly, "We also can’t rule out the possibility that Da Fei actually doesn’t have the power to fight an enormous army alone at all."
Sly God said in a low voice, "At least one thing Da Fei said is right: the matters of our Japan can only be handled by ourselves!"
Tsukamoto gnashed his teeth: "When the outer walls collapse, everyone summon your Demon Servants and attack! We couldn’t find a chance to test these Demon Servants’ strength in China’s Divine Punishment City, so let’s take advantage of this army battle to test them!"
"Hai!"
...
By this time, the Horned Demon Army’s suicidal self-explosions, flesh and blood flying everywhere, had already reached a white-hot stage. It could no longer be described as blood flowing like a river; the entire river surface had become a huge pot of steaming, sticky meat paste soup!
Da Fei asked in shock, "This blood aura should be enough to trigger Blood Poison, right?"
Hilda couldn’t help but sigh as well: "More than enough beyond imagination. Even I can’t foresee what will happen next."
Da Fei said excitedly, "Good, once this batch of Horned Demons is wiped out and the army behind them all charges up, I’ll make my move!"
Just as Da Fei finished speaking, a series of loud booms resounded; the entire stretch of wall along the docks on the riverbank collapsed in unison! The billowing smoke and dust filled the fog, making visibility on the battlefield drop to rock bottom.
And at that moment, a dozen deafening roars shook the battlefield. A dozen huge green dots suddenly appeared on Da Fei’s radar, and all sorts of firelight, blood light, and Black Light flared through the dusty fog where those green dots were!
Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched; Japan finally couldn’t hold back and made a move! With such a flashy and swag entrance, this had to be the Summoned Demons that Bloodrose Qiqi saw in Divine Punishment City, the main force of Japan!
How strong were these Summoned Demons? Da Fei also really wanted to know, but he couldn’t see! Without knowing the strength of these Summoned Demons, Da Fei didn’t dare rashly send the Blood Eagle to scout. The danger was secondary; if it got exposed and the Japan players spotted it, that would be an extremely disgusting loss.
Then in the next moment, the sea of fire of the Hell Army surged in to slaughter! Again there were all kinds of giant roars, red light, blood mist, and black mist blooming in explosions. The foggy sky over the entire battlefield became a psychedelic color palette. Other than seeing the Hell Army’s red dots on the radar decreasing in swathes, Da Fei saw nothing but rainbow chaos!
Damn! This is screwing others and yourself at the same time!
Just then, Hilda reminded him, "My lord, the enemy’s main force, the Abyss Demons, has moved. That’s a target worth striking!"
Yeah, if he didn’t move now, all the mobs would be stolen by Japan’s Summoned Demons! Da Fei swung his arm: "Blood Poison Skill, cast!"
The bloody light of the Holy Vine Array burst out with a boom, and the Flying’s hull also flashed blood-red. Then Da Fei only saw rows and rows of damage numbers like "-56 Blood Poison damage," "-55 Blood Poison damage" erupt across the "palette," and swathes of the Hell Army collapsed in the "multi-colored fog"!
This was the power of Blood Poison Skill, boosted by the Holy Vine plus the Blood Sea trigger!
However, Da Fei simply couldn’t describe his feelings! To be precise: he was not satisfied! Not dissatisfied with the power—after all, it was only nine units casting; you couldn’t ask for too much. It was just that he couldn’t see the battlefield clearly, and there were too many Summoned Demons snatching mobs, so he simply couldn’t feel any sense of爽 (爽感)!
Hilda, however, said in surprise, "My lord, after this field test, are you satisfied?"
Da Fei could only let out a long sigh: "Satisfied! We’ll mass-produce them from now on!"
...
Compared to Da Fei’s lack of爽, the entire Mitsubishi Command Center exploded into earth-shaking cheers! Watching the enemy on the radar fall in swathes, the team members were as hyped as if they’d just shot up chicken blood!
"So this is the power of Demon Servants!"
"Demon Servants are this strong!"
"If we’d known Demon Servants were this strong, maybe we shouldn’t have withdrawn from China Region?"
"Are you Baka? It’s precisely because the NPCs in China’s Divine Punishment City felt how powerful the Demon Servants were that they turtled up and refused to sortie, so we had no chance at all to test them in battle!"
Tsukamoto was so excited his whole body was trembling: "We’re definitely winning this battle!"
Sly God said with relief, "Really a pity we met them so late! Now that we know the strength of Demon Servants, our future operations will be much easier. We might not even need to rely completely on Da Fei!"
Tsukamoto shouted excitedly, "Yoshi!"
