Chapter 123: Chapter 123: The Player's Secret Weapon
 

“High Priest! They… they are monsters! They won't die!”

“High Priest, I saw it with my own eyes, the elf I killed appeared once again!”

“Devils! They must be devils!”

“Lord Jushan, what exactly are they, you must know?!”

The half-beasts who retreated surrounded Jushan in panic.

Jushan was silent for a moment, then sighed,

“They… I fear they have obtained the power given by the Death God, allowing them to resurrect.”

“De… Death God…”

The half-beasts murmured, each looking terrified,

“Isn't that living undead?!”

Seeing the half-orc warriors who had completely lost their will to fight, Jushan comforted them,

“Don't worry, even the Death God cannot resurrect the living without limits… Their resurrection surely comes at a cost, as long as we continue to charge, they won't hold out for long.”

But this time, the half-orcs fell silent.

After a moment, one person said bitterly,

“Are you asking our kin to fill it with lives?!”

Jushan glanced at the magic hounds increasingly at a disadvantage against the Black Dragon, a complex expression flashed across his face.

But soon, he adjusted his mindset and angrily rebuked,

“If you want to be caught between them and the Black Dragon, then abandon the attack!”

“The Divine Favored one's demon beast won't hold out much longer. If the Black Dragon gets free, what awaits us will be slaughter!”

“We must destroy the elves' teleportation array before the Black Dragon gets free to eliminate one more enemy!”

“Even if it's just the Black Dragon, we could still pour all our tribe's strength into the fight, but adding the elves, and the Divine Favored that may be lurking behind…”

“Facing attacks from both sides… the Rock Cave Tribe might fall.”

“Don't think about running away! The Father God has already decreed that we help the Divine Favored with our entire tribe! As long as the Divine Favored does not leave, neither can we retreat!”

Upon hearing Jushan's words, the half-orcs began to stir.

After a while, someone asked,

“High Priest… what exactly does the Divine Favored intend to do? Isn't he a high-level professional? Why doesn't he deal with the Black Dragon?”

Jushan took a deep breath, his expression becoming extremely devout,

“Now, the Divine Favored is summoning the Divine Envoy and cannot leave. If he succeeds, we will completely overturn the tide of battle!”

So it was the Divine Envoy!

In an instant, all the half-orcs felt their morale revived.

Every half-orc knew how strong a Divine Envoy's power was.

Historically, the half-orcs had indeed encountered formidable enemies.

But whenever they did, once they summoned a Divine Envoy, the tide of battle would inevitably be turned!

Seeing the reinvigorated half-orc warriors, Jushan sighed in relief.

He continued,

“Therefore, we cannot let them destroy our plans! We must do our utmost to destroy the elves' teleportation array! Even if we can't destroy it, we must keep them at bay, at least make it look like we're fighting to the death, and delay… until the Divine Envoy is successfully summoned!”

“Now, we change our strategy, divide the archery-skilled warriors into two teams, one stays in the tribe to assist the Divine Favored one's demon beast against the Black Dragon, the other focuses on shooting those naked elves, while the rest of the warriors continue the attack!”

“But this time, focus on stalling for time!”

Jushan too decided to change tactics.

He realized that his people no longer had the courage to continue a death struggle with the elves.

He could also understand that facing an unkillable enemy, even knowing their resurrection likely had limits, the fear in their hearts couldn't be erased.

*This was fundamentally unfair combat!*

*Since that was the case, then stall for time!*

*Both hold up the elves and hold up the dragon until the Earl finishes the summoning!*

And hearing Jushan's words, the half-orcs had to organize another attack.

But this time, they were much more cautious.

Their goal was no longer to defeat the elves but to harass them, keeping them trapped on the mountain unable to come down and unable to focus on anything else.

This time… it was the players' turn to suffer.

The half-orcs were inherently much stronger than the players, and if they changed tactics and did not engage the players head-on, the sacrificial strategy the players had used before would not work.

The scattered half-orcs surrounded the players without attacking, retreating and shooting arrows when they saw unarmored players emerge; after exhausting the suicide squads, they'd charge back in and continue to harass the players.

As a result, casualties on both sides began to drop rapidly, but the battle became deadlocked…

*This was not what the players wanted to see.*

*They still wanted to earn experience and contribution points!*

*With this style of play, they couldn't kill a single half-orc for ages, actually losing a lot of contribution points instead.*

“Why are they not charging anymore?”

Watching the suddenly conservative half-orcs, Gugu Bird furrowed her brow.

Li Mu's eyes glinted slightly,

“They probably have realized we can resurrect.”

“What do we do then? We can't just keep dragging this out, can we?”

Once again resurrected, Demacia said impatiently.

*Every head meant experience and contribution points!*

“Dragging it out like this doesn't benefit them either, does it? I think Mairrel already has the upper hand.”

Little Xian Miao looked at the distant battle with the magic hound… no, more accurately, the Black Dragon teasing the magic hound, and said with a twitch of her lips.

The magic hound was obviously already showing signs of fatigue.

But it seemed… the Little Black Dragon was addicted to it and wouldn't kill it before it had enough fun.

Teasing prey was a Black Dragon's instinct, Little Xian Miao had yelled several times in the distance at Mairrel, yet it hadn't ended the fight quickly.

“They're stalling for time, likely trying to summon the Divine Envoy mentioned in the intelligence! We can't let them succeed!”

Li Mu pondered for a moment, then said gravely.

After hearing his words, Natural Saintess Alice hesitated to speak.

*Regarding this… she actually received a divine message from Eve when she set out, essentially saying not to worry about the other side summoning a Divine Envoy.*

*However, Eve also advised her not to interfere too much with the players' decisions.*

*The Mother Goddess seemed very interested in the Divine Envoy; she appeared confident…*

*Moreover, the Mother Goddess said she wanted to see how much the Chosen Ones had grown, so I'd better keep quiet.*

Alice thought to herself and shut her mouth.

Eve indeed had a keen interest in the Divine Envoy.

More precisely, she was interested in the power on the Divine Envoy.

*How strong was a Demigod Level totem guardian?*

*Already at Demigod Level, they must have some control of divine power, right? They must have a hefty amount of divine power points, no?*

*Eve truly wanted to witness it firsthand…*

*With a non-existent new divine armor equipped, she could relax without exposing her true form a bit.*

However, the players were unaware of these matters.

*All they wanted now was to reignite the half-orcs' fighting spirit and have a proper showdown with them!*

*These were experience points and contribution points!*

*And… loot!*

After pondering for a moment, Li Mu turned to Gugu Bird and asked,

“Gugu Bird, how is the preparation on the camp's side? Are the things ready?”

Gugu Bird opened the chat system, communicated for a moment, and said,

“We've made four of them.”

Li Mu's eyes lit up,

“Four? Perfect, have them teleported over.”

“Since the half-orcs are not motivated to attack us, let's give them some motivation! It's time to show our secret weapon!”
