Chapter 472: [Illusory Battle] (Fifteen): The Snowy Plateau
Chapter 472: [Illusory Battle] (Fifteen): The Snowy Plateau
As the countdown ended, the scene before Su Yu began to change.
In the next moment, he and Morning Star found themselves on a vast, flat platform covered in snow and ice.
Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, covering the ground in a thick layer of snow.
Behind him stood 325 soldiers, arranged in neat rows. The snow underfoot was not too deep, reaching only to their ankles.
Looking around, Su Yu discovered that the platform was not overly large, roughly the size of five or six soccer fields combined.
The platform was nearly circular, with an Ice Camp at its center.
Surrounding the Ice Camp were five gold mines, evenly spaced in a pentagonal formation, like five fortresses guarding the camp.
Beyond the gold mines, there were ten player armies, two stationed near each mine.
Clearly, everyone was disoriented upon entering the battlefield, and no player army made a move just yet.
The first to take action, of course, was Su Yu.
Su Yu was positioned at the 6 o'clock direction from the camp.
After a few seconds of observing the battlefield, he made a quick decision and immediately led his army to attack a player army at the 5 o'clock position.
This player was a young, average-looking white man. He seemed to be a newcomer, having never commanded an army before and completely unprepared for the sudden attack.
In contrast, Su Yu's control over his army was flawless. The units worked in perfect harmony, and he was adept at both forming and shifting battle formations.
A perfect conical formation pierced through the disorganized ranks of the white man's army, causing his forces to crumble instantly. It was like a king bullying an AI, except the AI at least had basic logic, and this white man was even worse.
In just half a minute, Su Yu completely annihilated the white man's army, slaying him on the battlefield.
"Ding, you have defeated player [Tomato]'s army and gained 2000 gold."
Tomato's army vanished from the field, while Su Yu's forces only lost 10 heavy infantrymen, a resounding victory!
The other players on the platform were either holding back, cautiously observing the situation, or making tentative attacks on nearby armies. Most, however, were watching Su Yu's decisive victory with growing alarm. Clearly, they had encountered a formidable opponent!
With such a skilled player present, the priority was to eliminate the threat. If not, Su Yu's advantage of 2000 gold would only grow, making him an even greater threat.
Six players on the platform moved in unison to surround Su Yu, while two others remained stationary, perhaps waiting to see how the battle would unfold.
Su Yu noted the movements of the players but was not concerned.
So what if it was six player armies? Su Yu was confident he could handle them all at once.
He gently patted the cat Morning Star on his shoulder. "Go to the Ice Camp and exchange for a [Winter Mage]. Move quickly!"
"Alright," Morning Star nodded and vanished in a blur, sprinting toward the camp.
As one with Su Yu, she could also use gold to exchange for units at the camp, following the game's rules.
As soon as Morning Star left his shoulder, Su Yu directed his army to charge toward the restless force at the 4 o'clock position.
His entire army transformed into a steel torrent, their speed enhanced by the acceleration spells cast by the mages, rushing toward the enemy with incredible speed.
The player at the 4 o'clock position appeared to be a hardy man, his head wrapped in a Sikh-style turban, exuding a distinct curry aroma.
Seeing Su Yu's forces charging over with a fierce momentum, and recalling the grim fate of the white player earlier, the Hardness player immediately retreated, preparing to avoid the initial clash.
However, he didn't realize that the kitten Morning Star had already arrived at the Ice Camp.
"Grandpa, I want to recruit a [Winter Mage]," Morning Star politely handed over the gold.
"Hello, little kitten! You want a [Winter Mage], right? I'll give you the best one!" The elder in charge stroked his goat beard and said kindly.
"Ding, [Winter Mage Aex] has joined your army."
A deep blue-robed ice mage appeared beside Morning Star.
Morning Star jumped onto the camp's roof to survey the situation, then shouted down to the Winter Mage, "Aex, target the army at the 4 o'clock direction. Cast [Blizzard], and try to maximize the range. It's okay to sacrifice a bit of damage if necessary."
"Understood!" The Winter Mage raised his staff high, closed his eyes, and began to cast the spell. A large amount of icy blue magic gathered around him and was released through his staff.
Aex is a fourth-tier mage, so the effect of his spell was naturally very significant.
With his full focus on expanding the range, the blizzard completely covered the Hardness player's army!
The Hardness player had intended to retreat and avoid Su Yu's onslaught, but the sudden and violent blizzard dramatically slowed his troops. The health of each soldier plummeted, and many were frozen in place.
"How terrible!" the Hardness player shouted, realizing his army would likely fall to Su Yu.
Su Yu did not disappoint the Hardness player's "expectations." As soon as the blizzard stopped just before the two forces clashed, he led his army into the fray. Like a swift knife slicing through tofu, he quickly eliminated the Hardness player's army, focusing fire to take out the player himself.
"Ding, you have defeated player [Snake Keeper]'s army and gained 2000 gold."
This battle went more smoothly than the last. After the fight, Su Yu's army had only lost two men, and most of the front-line soldiers had retreated to the back of the formation just in time to avoid being killed.
A radiant light shone from the rear of the army as the priest corps worked tirelessly to heal every injured warrior.
Seeing how easily Su Yu had dealt with the Hardness player's army, the other players on the platform grew even more nervous.
The two players who had initially held back also began to move. The forces at the 2 o'clock, 1 o'clock, and 12 o'clock positions gathered in small groups and simultaneously pressed toward Su Yu's army.
The remaining forces at the 9 o'clock, 8 o'clock, 7 o'clock, and 10 o'clock positions, being closer to the Ice Camp, marched toward it, intending to eliminate Su Yu's Winter Mage first.
The situation seemed very unfavorable for Su Yu.
But Su Yu showed no signs of panic.
He smiled slightly, used his magic to amplify his voice, and shouted to all the players on the platform, "The sky has fallen, and the yellow sky shall rise!"
Upon hearing this, the armies at the 7 o'clock and 10 o'clock positions immediately stopped moving.
They were fellow Chinese players and members of the "United Front of Huaxia." Su Yu's coded message revealed his identity, and they immediately realized they should not join the other teams in attacking Su Yu but instead assist him in defeating the other forces on the battlefield.
With this realization, the entire battle situation changed dramatically.
