<h4>Chapter 1314: An Overwhelming Bloodbath</h4>
At the thought of this, Captain Don’t Open Fire looked at Fearless with eyes of admiration.
This was not merely a question of attack and defence.
One must know that there were fifty thousand pirates in Harbor City. There were fifty times more enemies than yers on the outside.
If everyone really charged in like Captain Don’t Open Fire said, it was only a matter of time before they were surrounded by monsters like dumplings. The eventual oue was definitely obliteration.
With the canyon, everything became different. In such a narrow terrain, only a maximum of around ten yers could be positioned there.
If they made the canyon their battlefield and got the pirates to attack them instead, the numerical advantage of the pirates would be severely reduced because of the buffer from the terrain. Once the fight began, only a maximum of 30 yers would be in contact with each other.
Furthermore, the pirates proficient in long-distance attacks were already taken care of. A third of the yers here were Magicians with high damage output so as long as the front row of Guardians could hold their ground, the victory at the canyon would be more or less secured.
As for whether the Guardian could hold their ground, this was a question without any doubts.
Under normal circumstances, a Priest would be paired with at least three Guardians. Now that Fearless arranged them in this manner, he managed to achieve a luxurious deployment of one Priest to one Guardian.
Moreover, the staggering of yers allowed the yers behind to take over the front row yers anytime they deemed necessary.
Healing for endurance and substitutes were two aspects which the pirates did not have. By fighting in the canyon, the pirates were definitely going to have a hard time dealing with Fearless’ n.
It was no wonder Fearless dared to make the bet that he could end the fight in 40 minutes.
Everyone knew how fast Magicians could kill monsters and with that many Magicians releasing their AOE skill at the same time, the effects were going to multiply by several folds.
In such a terrain, if the pirates charged towards them fast enough, ending the war thirty minutes wouldn’t bepletely impossible too.
...
The reason why Fearless got Darknorth Fisher and Wang Yu to steal the rm bell was so that he could buy time for everyone to get in formation. Otherwise, once the rm bell sounded, the pirates would swarm forward and start attacking them the moment they arrived at the gate.
“Sound the bell!”
Once everyone was in position, Fearless send a message to Darknorth Fisher.
Darknorth Fisher hung the bell on the tree beside him as he held onto his dagger and swung its shaft towards the bell.
“Dang, dang, dang!”
Once the bell sounded, pirates emerged from their hiding spots.
One could say that in such a situation, monsters without AI were the easiest to deal with. If they had some sort of intelligence, they would have realised that something was amiss when they saw yers loitering at the gate despite the presence of a broken gate.
But the pirates disregarded thatpletely. Once they saw that the city gate was broken and there was a crowd of yers at the gate, they swarmed forward without hesitation.
Looking at the surge of pirates entering the canyon, Fearless smiled and instructed, “Guardians, get in position! Magicians, get ready all your AOE skills!”
The moment they received Fearless’mand, the Guardians in front raised their shields and smashed them against the ground.
“Duang!”
Following the loud sound, dust flew up from the ground.
“Boom!”
At the same time, the pirates shed firmly against the Guardians.
The pirates were Level 50 elite monsters while the yers averaged around Level 53. With the supplement of equipment, yers were more than capable of dealing with monsters of the same level. Additionally, the pirates were also carrying a weakened DEBUFF because of Spring Halo’s poison. Their current attributes were much lower than their optimal.
Guardians were jobs of the strongest defences and with that many of them, they were naturally not going to be taken down by these weakened pirates.
When the two parties shed, the yers stood firm while the pirates were unable to break through their defences. In an instant, all of them were gathered together.
At this moment, Fearless ordered, “Release!”
The Magicians at the back finished condensing their AOE magic as they released them altogether.
Magic radiances of all types and colour made all kinds of sounds as they gathered concurrently. Chains of lightning, blizzards, mes and tsunamis essentially enveloped all the pirates at the front. The entire canyon was engulfed in magic attacks.
The concurrent release of over ten Magician’s AOE skills was rtively frightening. Even though it couldn’t be described as heaven-destruction worthy, there was indeed a pile of skeletons after an attack of this scale.
Once the magic attacks subsided, white lights glowed as over a hundred pirates were killed just like that. On the other hand, the Guardians holding the line merely had their shield durability reduced by half from this wave of attacks.
As the Priests at the back started healing the Guardians, they weed the second wave of pirate attacks.
“Boom!”
The two sides shed and yet another wave of magic attacksnded and yet another wave of pirates were exterminated within seconds.
As this repeated itself over and over again, the pirates were obliterated wave after wave.
The relentless charge of the pirates without any regards to the consequences was cing quite a bit of pressure on the yers. If Spring Halo hadn’t added ayer of weakening BUFF via the poison on the pirates, their defences would have been broken through by now.
Even so, after a few more waves of attacks like that, the front row of Guardians was on the verge of exhausting all their Hinder value. The Magicians at the back also had their skills entering CD.
“Substitute!”
Fearless instructed once he saw what the situation was bing. Whether it was Guardians, Priests or Magicians, the yers at the back row took one step forward and reced the yers in front. The yers being reced started healing each other.
Without any strategy, the pirates could merely rely on their numbers as they continued to charge forward.
100
200
300
...
Relying on the terrain advantage and the determined defence of the yers, the number of pirates dying increased. Looking at the decreasing number of enemies left in the quest tab, Captain Don’t Open Fire couldn’t help but smile.
Ever since the start of the battle, only five minutes had passed and over ten thousand pirates were killed. At this rate, iming that he could end the war in forty minutes seemed like a safe bet.
Presently, Captain Don’t Open Fire was utterly convinced by Fearless and he held nothing but respect and admiration for him.
In the past where the Quan Zhen Sect managed to oppress both Void de and Sanguine Alliance, Captain Don’t Open Fire had his own beliefs.
After all, Void de was defeated by Wang Yu alone which exined why Captain Don’t Open Fire wasn’t entirely convinced by the rest of the Quan Zhen Sect. He believed that without Wang Yu, the entire Quan Zhen Sect was nothing more than trash.
Today, Captain Don’t Open Fire finally understood why a guild leader of a mighty guild like Sanguine Warg would go all out to please a person like Fearless.
Damn it! This fe was basically a strategy genius.
Of course, the happiest person had to be Wang Yu. After all, this was Wang Yu’s quest and Captain Don’t Open Fire and the rest were merely participants of it.
“[Moonlight Walk]!!”
Just when everyone thought that this quest was going to bepleted easily, a ck figure suddenly descended from the sky as he stomped towards the front row of Guardians.
