Chapter 871 - 708: Second Round, Concealing Strength
Bast sighed when seeing the team’s predicament: "Alright, actually I have a lot of mining bombs. If the other side really comes to hinder my mining, I won’t be without the power to resist, but the progress of mining Divine Stones might be dragged to the final round."
Duodolin said: "I also have quite a few mining bombs. If the other side gets in the water, I’ll go throw bombs and tangle with them while you focus on mining."
Bast nodded: "Alright!"
Aimee laughed: "That’s great, when it really comes to the final round, there’ll definitely be all-out firepower, and the other side will be even less concerned about you guys."
Chun really didn’t have any better options: "Let’s go with this then."
Then Chun asked a crucial question: "In a competition like this, might the rules change so that the other side requests to temporarily add a team member?"
Pava Landing was taken aback: "There has never been such a precedent! I don’t know if it’s possible."
Holy Shit! Saying it so uncertainly means it’s actually possible. The Ten Lords wouldn’t possibly make a game without leaving themselves a backdoor, right?
However, coming so early, the Ten Lords are still doing some plot-kill thing. They’ve actually wasted a whole night’s time. Can they make it in time?
Chun still asked a morale-boosting question: "So what do you all think, what advantage do we have?"
Aimee smiled: "President, we’ve been saying it all along. Being with you, our casting speed and coordination are especially quick. That’s why we could keep pace with the opposing team’s firepower despite having two fewer people in the first round. And after not seeing each other for many days, it feels even more smooth now!"
Ha, this is my Divine Skill Module Combination! Back then it was just expert level, now it’s Divine Artisan Level!
Olka said: "Exactly! Previously, after casting a destructive magic, I had to pause for a second before using Mana Source to recover mana. That one-second pause meant I had no chance to recover mana during intense combat. But now I can completely destroy with my right hand and use Mana Source with my left hand. Of course, considering it’s the other side testing us, I’ve kept this trick!"
Medesia said: "That’s right, so we’ve been feigning weakness! They’re arrogant Angels and only focus on our few Angels here, quite looking down on us."
Duodolin was content: "Then they look down on me even more, completely ignoring me. I hope they keep looking down on me."
The two Divine Bulls were anxious: "Actually, we also feel this smoothness, but haven’t had the chance to perform combo moves. We suspect that if we get the chance at close combat, our combo stunning, knocking down, and knocking away effects will make it hard for the other side to counter!"
Chun thought about it: "Two Gang Leaders, do you need to hold back and feign weakness in the second match?"
Aimee laughed: "Absolutely don’t hold back! You need to make your presence felt. Only then can we attract more firepower for our feigned weakness! Anyway, if they don’t get beat up, it’s just wasted effort!"
Hmm, although you’re quite critical, you’re absolutely right!
Chun then said: "Okay, two Gang Leaders, then in the next match, treat it as full-force practice and adapt to this state."
"No problem, Elder!"
Soon, half an hour of rest and preparation passed, and the sound of horns echoed through the sky again!
—— Arena Tip: The second round of the match is about to start. Please both teams be prepared.
Chun’s team appeared on the battlefield again, entering the preparation time,
at this moment, the previously charred and ruined forest had completely restored its original appearance.
Holy Shit!
Chun was surprised: "Does that mean, Bast, the ore you mined was restored too??"
Bast said in a deep voice: "The Divine Stone Ore does not restore, we still need to continue mining!"
Oh, as long as "Divine" is involved, the rules are different.
—— Arena Tip: The match has started, this round is limited to thirty minutes.
It’s on!
But there’s no one in the sky! Not even the legendary huge Griffin Beast was seen.
Pava Landing said: "That means it’s a ground battle, the other side should have entered the forest!"
Chun still followed the old rule: "The whole team should remember the pre-battle key points, then improvise freely."
...
Ten Lords Chat Group.
The joint fleet of Michael and Uriel’s two cities was speeding through the void. Each side dispatched ten ships this time, with two main battle ships each serving only as escort, while the other eight ships were various special-purpose ships, including the Void Measurement Communication Ship showcasing the Empire’s advanced high-tech, accompanied by Master Hubble and several scholars from the academy.
There were ships specially responsible for opening Spatial Gates and performing space transmissions, energy ships that "generate power" to charge the space ships, and unloading ships providing a large amount of high-energy military-grade Crystal Ore for the energy ships.
Black Dragon City’s special ships included the Bone Tower Ship, a magic ship made from dragon bones and the bones of various powerful creatures. The entire ship was adorned with luxurious gemstones and large arrays, equivalent to a massive Super Divine Artifact Bone Staff, capable of releasing powerful magic to block the wrath of void storms. In a sense, this ship was more like the Undead Empire. And to provide this ship with massive Magic Energy, a bunch of measurement ships and crystal ore ships were needed to follow.
At this time, the lords who just finished breakfast were feeling quite leisurely.
Especially after live-streaming Chun’s body in a state of severe weakness, everyone ate an extra bowl.
Gabriel laughed: "I heard from Liya’s steward, last night when I was asleep and not around, Liya caught a few Nightmares and gained quite a lot. Then Chun coincidentally fell seriously ill and needed to be hospitalized, making it perfect for the Nightmares to provide in-depth treatment!"
Michael sighed: "Truly worthy of being a Royal Family Princess. I suspect her abilities are enhanced by Dream Angel; otherwise, given a few ordinary Dream Angels having such a big harvest and being able to withstand Baron level, it’s truly... unimaginable."
Gabriel laughed: "In any case, we’ve also seen her three-layer expanded dream realm in the Heroic Spirit Hall. Is there really anything we can’t imagine? By the way, Sariel, has the Mermaid received any faith?"
Sariel was anxious: "Stop asking, I want to ask her too, but she’s annoyed by it!"
Raphael laughed: "No such simple good thing will happen. The best scenario is once the cigarettes stop, faith returns to zero."
Sariel sighed: "It doesn’t matter; it’s good enough to ruin the Oak Guardian God. By the way, does your clinic have any exploration discoveries below?"
Gabriel sighed: "No, the exploratory drill went a hundred meters down, and it’s all loose sand... If Divine buildings and minerals aren’t related, then this subject is quite complicated..."
At this moment, the joint fleet’s measurement ships had detected the movements of a void storm from afar.
"No damage to General Barov’s ship wreckage detected."
"No Shaqima warship wreckage or landing craft wreckage found either!"
Uriel was suddenly shocked: "The landing craft itself wasn’t directly hit, not even seeing its wreckage?"
Michael also felt uneasy: "Are they dead?"
Uriel opened the guild list; their names, like the president’s, were all in "offline" gray status, which doesn’t mean dead!
Uriel was incredulous: "Is it possible that they entered the Spatial Gate?"
