Chapter 279: The Final Battle of Oran City (Part 2) - Su Yu Takes on 700,000 Rebel Troops
Looking down at the rebel army, Su Yu's eyes lit up with a sudden idea. He might not be able to make a significant impact in the battle between high-level experts, but he could certainly ambush the rebel troops below!
Eliminating the rebels would earn him a substantial amount of Military Merit, which could be exchanged for valuable items from the quartermaster. While the quartermaster's list of items had limited use for Su Yu, he could still exchange them and gift them to his allies—Wings, Xiaotian, and Qianbei Bu Zui—to help them grow rapidly.
With his mind made up, Su Yu dove straight toward the rebel army.
The mid-to-high-ranking officers of the rebel army, who had been closely monitoring the battle above, were taken aback when they saw Su Yu descending. According to unwritten rules, high-level experts of the Fifth Rank and above were not supposed to attack the troops. This was to maintain a dignified image and avoid tarnishing their reputation with indiscriminate killings.
However, Su Yu was a traveler from another world, so it was understandable that he didn't follow such rules. The rebel officers, though uncomfortable, had to react quickly.
The general at the center of the rebel army shouted, "Archers, form your array! Mages, ready your forces! Bring down the nemesis!"
"Understood!" The commander of the archer formation (a Fourth Rank peak) and the chief mage of the mage corps (also Fourth Rank peak) responded in unison.
They immediately began organizing their respective units.
The archers activated the [Psychic Link] skill, while the mages used the [Magic Link] skill, combining their psychic energy and magical power to prepare for high-level arrow techniques and spells.
[Psychic Link] and [Magic Link] were the only means by which lower-rank cultivators could combat higher-rank ones. For example, with [Magic Link], a group of mages could form a special formation and channel their magic power into a designated individual, allowing that person to use higher-level spells beyond their rank.
Typically, 12 Fourth Rank mages using [Magic Link] could produce a spell with the power of a Fifth Rank mage. If 120 Fourth Rank mages used [Magic Link], it would be equivalent to a Sixth Rank Holy Domain mage, albeit a stationary one.
The rebel mage corps numbered around 3,000, and the archer formation had several tens of thousands! With so many people using [Psychic Link] and [Magic Link] together, taking down a single nemesis like Su Yu should be a piece of cake.
Of course, Su Yu was well aware of this. Regular troops were a tough nut to crack.
His gaze shifted to the large groups of players on the flanks.
Players were undeniably easy targets, being First Rank and extremely vulnerable. Should he go and harvest some easy kills among the player ranks?
The rebel players, seeing Su Yu's intent, immediately understood what he was thinking.
Many players put on tragic faces and shouted up at Su Yu, "General Ke, please spare us!"
"General Ke, we just want to earn some Military Merit in this final battle. Please spare us!"
"Indeed, we're already suffering enough. Please don't finish us off!"
"General Ke..."
Su Yu: "..."
He had to admit, the rebel players hadn't won a single battle in the entire campaign and thus hadn't received much reward.
If he were to be eliminated again, it would indeed be a pitiful end.
"Whatever." Su Yu shifted his gaze back to the regular army.
No matter how tough the challenge, someone has to face it. He might as well take advantage of the remaining buff duration and charge in!
Su Yu no longer hesitated, swiftly darting toward the rebel regular army.
"Hmph! Looking for death!" The general from earlier sneered as he saw Su Yu flying toward them. He issued an order, "Mage Corps, Archer Phalanx, attack!"
"Understood!"
As soon as the order was given, three arrows, each filled with immense spiritual energy, flew in a triangular formation toward Su Yu, reaching within ten meters of him almost instantly.
The Mage Corps, on the other hand, first cast a fourth-tier lightning-based defensive spell—Lightning Barrier—to protect their formation. Then, they began casting a fifth-tier fire-based control spell—Inferno Cage.
Inferno Cage is a rare locking spell. Once successfully cast, even if Su Yu were to use his incredible speed or the Blink spell, he couldn't escape the lock.
However, Su Yu remained calm.
Upon recognizing that the Mage Corps was casting Inferno Cage, he immediately devised a counter-strategy.
He used Blink to dart several dozen meters away, evading the three powerful arrows. Then, he activated the Frost Glide skill on his boots, quickly maneuvering in the sky to dodge the subsequent arrows from the Archer Phalanx while concentrating his mana to cast a Lightning Shield with twenty times the usual thickness.
Hum—
Five seconds later, the Lightning Shield with twenty times the thickness successfully formed.
At the same time, the sixth-tier spell Inferno Cage landed on him, enveloping him in layers of thick fire elements. The layers of fire were over three meters thick, obscuring his view of the outside world.
The thick fire elements collided with Su Yu's Lightning Shield, producing a deafening magical explosion. Fortunately, the damage from Inferno Cage was not high and was easily blocked by Su Yu's Lightning Shield.
Then, Su Yu immediately used the Scholar's Badge to break free from the control, smoothly escaping the Inferno Cage.
...
Seeing Su Yu escape, the chief mage of the Mage Corps was not overly surprised.
He didn't believe that a single control spell could completely immobilize Su Yu.
As soon as Su Yu broke free from the control, the chief mage immediately cast another control spell—Ice Coffin.
Ice Coffin is another rare locking skill. He wanted to see just how many ways Su Yu had to break free from control.
Su Yu, of course, wasn't about to just take the hits without retaliating, nor would he let the Mage Corps continue to operate freely.
After escaping the control of Inferno Cage, he took out his Village Elder's Staff and used Blink twice. This allowed him to dodge the arrows from the Archer Phalanx and quickly reach within several dozen meters of the Mage Corps.
The Mage Corps, however, paid him no mind.
A thick Lightning Barrier surrounded their formation, providing them with ample protection.
Confident that Su Yu couldn't break through the Lightning Barrier in a short time, they continued casting Ice Coffin without interruption.
Seeing the reaction of the Mage Corps, Su Yu smiled slightly.
"Come out, Kong!"
The Lighthouse Set on Su Yu's body emitted a blinding blue light.
A brown gorilla, over thirty meters tall, materialized in front of Su Yu. With a roar, it raised its iron-clad fists and slammed them down on the Lightning Barrier with a powerful wind.
