Chapter 464: [Illusory Arena Duel] (Part 7): Guerrilla Warfare
Su Yu keenly observed the movements of the eight enemy teams.
However, he wasn't in a rush. First, he needed to deal with the middle-aged bearded man in front of him.
The bearded man's army had now adopted a "Defend the Carrot" formation.
His troops stood in a circular formation, layer upon layer, surrounding him at the center. Priests cast their holy shields, and mages layered their magic shields, all focused on protecting him.
Clearly, the bearded man was trying to buy time, ensuring his survival until reinforcements arrived.
Su Yu, of course, wouldn't give him that chance.
"Morningstar, it's your turn," Su Yu patted the small blue-and-white cat on his shoulder.
"Meow~" Morningstar leaped off his shoulder, entering the [Stealth] state mid-air, and ran toward the bearded man.
"Mages, prepare [Dancing Flame Spiral]!" Su Yu shouted, simultaneously flashing to the center of the mage group.
[Dancing Flame Spiral] was a fourth-tier fire spell and the most powerful shield-breaking technique for fire mages.
The rapidly spinning fire elements formed a "flame drill" at the tip of the spiral, capable of dealing 150% additional damage to shield-based skills!
Back in Kasy Town, Su Yu had used this spell to shatter Duke Lantilus's fleet's shields. Now, it was time to put it to use again.
Under the mages' casting, a massive flame "drill" formed in the sky above the bearded man.
The "drill" carried an unstoppable momentum, drilling into the dozens of layers of shields around the bearded man with great force.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The magic shields and holy shields were shattered one by one, breaking apart in an instant.
The [Dancing Flame Spiral] continued its momentum after breaking through the shields, the remaining fire elements knocking the middle-aged bearded man off his horse and reducing his health to below 50%.
Now was the perfect opportunity!
Morningstar emerged from the shadows, using [Pounce] to approach the bearded man. Activating [Star Wrath], a burst skill, she unleashed a flurry of attacks: [Claw Strike], [Rip], [Slash], and [Ferocious Bite], all landing on the bearded man.
The surrounding priests were casting healing spells, but they were too slow. Before their healing spells could reach him, the bearded man's health was drained to zero under the cat's claws.
Game Log: "You have successfully eliminated player [Muhammad Assad]'s army. The [Pursuit] level has increased to 4."
The bearded man's entire army vanished in a burst of white light. Su Yu's army, replenished by the game's mechanics, instantly restored to its full strength of 3250 soldiers.
Seeing this, the commanders of the eight nearby armies grew even more anxious, urging their troops to accelerate their march toward Su Yu.
After killing the bearded man, Morningstar wiped her paws on the grass and then leaped back onto Su Yu's shoulder, tilting her head to look at him. "Counter, what should we do next? It seems we've attracted everyone's attention."
Su Yu rubbed Morningstar's head and smiled. "Of course, we'll use our attribute advantages to engage in guerrilla warfare and annihilation tactics. As long as we don't face all eight armies at once, they can't do anything to us."
"Then lead the way. Call me when you need me." Morningstar lay on Su Yu's shoulder, gently licking the fur on her paw.
"Alright, let's move out. All units, march south! Mages, keep casting acceleration spells as long as your mana is above half."
"Understood, Commander!" The army followed Su Yu's orders, forming a V-shaped formation and marching south at high speed.
The current battlefield situation:
On the far east side of the battlefield, one army remained stationary, as if the commander had gone offline.
On the northern side of the battlefield, there were two armies, three on the western side, and three more on the southern side.
Su Yu's current strategy was to outmaneuver the two northern armies and launch a full-scale assault on the combined forces of the three southern and one western army.
Facing four armies at once, Su Yu was confident he wouldn't lose.
Moreover, the remaining players on the battlefield were not united. Everyone was trying to sacrifice others to save themselves, which naturally prevented them from achieving their maximum combat potential. This gave Su Yu the perfect opportunity to exploit their weaknesses.
Su Yu's army moved at an incredible speed, thanks to the continuous acceleration spells from the mages. It took them just three minutes to travel from the northern end of the battlefield to the southern end.
Just as Su Yu had predicted, the four allied player armies had already gathered.
However, they were all puzzled by Su Yu's decision to face four armies alone. Even with four buffs, could he really do whatever he wanted?
As Su Yu's army entered the range of the enemy, the four player commanders simultaneously ordered their archers and mage units to open fire.
But what happened next left them in shock!
Roar!
A loud dragon's cry echoed through the sky, and a massive blue dragon with a 40-meter wingspan appeared, radiating a surging, almost tangible elemental energy.
On the blue dragon's side, a slightly smaller star-nucleus dragon, its body shimmering with starlight, materialized out of thin air, unleashing a breath of stardust from a great distance toward the player armies.
"Damn! It's Ke Zong!"
"Shit! Star Ke!"
The entire battlefield erupted with cries of surprise in various languages from the eight players.
Su Yu was not only a renowned figure in his home country but also a global superstar. His recent live stream of attacking the Psychic Spring had captured the attention of the entire world.
Seeing the familiar blue dragon and the star-nucleus dragon, the players were utterly astonished. They were about to face the game's top player! How could they possibly win?
While they were still stunned by Su Yu's appearance, his army had already charged into the formation of one of the players.
Su Yu and Morning Star's breath attacks hit the enemy forces, covering entire sections of the battlefield.
"Fire! Concentrate your ranged attacks! Aim for the blue dragon!" The commanders of the other three armies quickly reacted, ordering their units to focus on Su Yu.
No matter how powerful Su Yu's army was, if they could take him down with concentrated fire, he would be eliminated from the game.
But Su Yu was clearly prepared for this.
Before the enemy's concentrated fire could fully form, he transformed into his human form and rapidly descended, landing and immediately casting a Guardian Wall.
Five golden sand soldiers appeared in front of Su Yu, forming a solid protective barrier.
The sand soldiers raised their shields, which seemed to be made of adamantine, as a barrage of arrows and spells struck them, producing a series of clanging sounds. The Guardian Wall held firm, protecting Su Yu from harm.
The three players focusing on Su Yu soon realized that it would be extremely difficult to end the game by killing him.
After all, this was Ke Zong! In his videos, he had demonstrated a variety of incredible survival skills and teleportation techniques. Killing him would be incredibly challenging.
With no other choice, they redirected their attacks toward Su Yu's army.
But it was already too late.
With four buffs, Su Yu's army was incredibly powerful!
While the enemy was focused on taking down Su Yu, his forces had already eliminated one of the players at an unimaginable speed.
The player's death triggered a full health revival for Su Yu's army, and his buff layers reached an all-time high—five layers! 100% attribute enhancement!
