Chapter 753: Adequate Preparation


    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    yers like Snow Seeker and the guilds the she was leading were all good at calcting the odds. They had all seen the wars of the other region and had spected that China will face the same fate as them. Hence, they had not tried to fight in the first counterattack. Instead, they had ced their faith in the third or fourth attempt.


    Even though the number of Celestial tier set equipment will drop to 4 and 1 respectively, the time taken for them to reach the Level Requirement of the equipment would be a year. Hence, even though they could get 4 or 1 Celestial tier equipment, it would not much for them at the moment. It would not be possible for the developers not to host any more events in theing times that would drop Celestial tier equipment as well. Hence, Snow Seeker and her followers had not spent a single Military Point that day. Mainly, they had not gathered enough Military Points to hire enough elite tier soldiers. Secondly, the odds of the battle were unfavorable for China. Hired elite tier soldiers would notst long. In fact, after the war ends, sessful or not, the soldiers will disappear.


    The one thing that slipped past everyone expectation of the war, was Merlinda’ participation. She alone could change the tide of the battle. Based on the damage dealt and HP healing, the NPC forces couldst more than 20 hours fighting Angus. When they finally realized it, regret was the very thing lingering in their mind.


    To loot the boss’ drop after his death, one must deal enough damage and not simplynd a hit. Without Inheritance Transformation skills, no one could approach the boss without dying. His attack range was 500 meters! Then again, what use if a yer has Transformation skill? Which healer could heal on par with the damage caused by {de of Obliteration}?


    The worst part of all was that they could teleport back to White Jade Castle right then to hire soldiers, but would be unable to return to the battlefield! They would have to run back because the portal created was close and there was the invisible wall that was preventing them from returning to the field. That leaves them one option. That is to stare blindly at Zhang Yang beating the living hell out of Angus.


    However, when one is pushed to a corner, yers would start to feel intense jealousy towards Zhang Yang. They would try to rush to the boss when he is almost dying and "feed" him back to full health! Merlinda’s presence in the battlefield could not retain all the NPC for long, and it was impossible to restore their NPC back to full health. If the battlests longer than 30 hours, surely Angus would be thest man standing.


    At that moment, Zhang Yang was not focusing on the other yer’s feelings. All he cared was to attack the boss as fast as he could. Since the Phoenix attacks would be included to his character, his overall damage dealt to the boss was almost second to Queen Serena. Sadly, Felice was unable to gain the damage distribution from the elite soldiers. Even though her HP was slightly higher than Zhang Yang’s, 2 million HP was not enough tost longer than 3 seconds when ites to the boss’ attack. At most, she couldst for 6 seconds, thanks to the {Higher Regeneration} and that was it.


    Although Zhang Yang wanted her toe out to attack, she could only stay in her Battle Companion U.I until Han Ying Xue and the rest of the party use their Transformation skill together. At that point, she could join the fight by activating her {Ancient Tree of Life} Transformation. At that point, her healing capability would exceed the likes of a B ss Inheritance healer. Not to mention, her 12 Star Growth rate would further increase her potency, allow the girl to rival that of an A ss Inheritance healer!


    {re of the Death God}!


    Resist!


    Meh. Zhang Yang was not disappointed. He had not expected the skill tond since the opponent was a Celestial tier boss. He only had a few Holy tier equipment on him. If he, a level 170 yer with a few Holy tier equipment could take out 10% of the HP of a Level 230 Celestial tier boss, that would be unfair.


    As Angus gradually lost his HP bit by bit, he had only lost a total of 4% HP in one hour. Technically, they would need 25 hours to kill the boss. However, there was still the unounted factor of yers who had not used their Transformation skill then. In the worst case scenario where Zhang Yang is forced to run in and out of the field to heal himself, his God of War Transformation would shorten the fight as well.


    That was only one of the unounted factors that could affect the boss fight. If death of a yer was inevitable, 4 deaths would extend the battle by 1 hour. 20 deaths would result in total restoration which would end up with Angus being the victor of the war. Even though a small portion of yers had died in the battle with the Spectre monsters, another small portion of yers had already left the battle when Angus had appeared. In the end, there were still more than 40 million yers in the battlefield then, could Zhang Yang be sure that none of the 40 million yers would not jump into the boss fight and "feed" him?


    There is a saying, when the poor hungers so, the rich shall be their meal. Lone Desert Smoke had been hoarding all the riches of thend and Zhang Yang was the main culprit. To think that everyone would cower behind his back and allow him to take all the Celestial equipment when none of them could?


    Hence, instead of waiting till the boss had lower HP, those nonsensical yers with brains the size of a lizard’s sh*t rushed past the NPC soldiers and into the range of the boss, all the while shouting phrases like "We can do it" and "For China". How could one stop them moving on when they were so insistent on dying?


    At that point, Angus had lost 7% of his HP. If they die, the boss will restore all his HP. All the effort in the past hour will be wasted. Zhang Yang sighed with heavy heart andmanded all yers in Lone Desert Smoke to stop or attack yers who refuse to back down from the fight. He even had several of his members activate their Transformation skills to kill the yers. Naturally, when Transformation skills are unleashed, no normal yers would be their opponents.


    After a few of the yers were killed, they voiced out theirints, using Lone Desert Smoke of upying the battle with the intention to kill the boss alone. Those yers were as expectedly from The Dominators, Eternal me, and The Myth. They were only doing so under the order of their guild masters to tarnish the reputation of Zhang Yang and his guild.


    When things got heated up, yers around joined the fray and cried foul at Lone Desert Smoke. Without much time at all, Zhang Yang’s guild had be public enemy number 1. The one thing that Zhang Yang could not do right then was to retaliate there and then. Unexpectedly, as if Serena senses Zhang Yang was in trouble, she had turned her anger towards yers that were not in his party and cried out to her soldiers. "Soldiers of the Empire. Keep all adventurers away from me! Chase them away until they are at least 1 kilometers away! Kill anyone who refuses to obey!"


    Instantly, all the Empire soldiers pointed their swords away from Angus and turned around to attack the yers behind them. They were all roughly 500 meters away from the boss and started to push all the yers until they were 1000 meters away. The number of yers exceeded the number of NPC soldiers. However, all the yers were separated by guilds and parties. The top guilds were only Level 5 guilds. Even if they were to sortie 75% of their total members, 200,000 yers versus a unified army will only result in the yers’ loss.


    At then, all yers started to withdraw from the front line when all the soldiers were pointing their swords, aiming their bows, channeling their spells, all with the intention to harm the yers if they refuse to back down.


    The battle continued on and Angus was being butchered alive by nine Ascended tier boss! His HP had dropped below 60%!


    When yers from other region had received the news of the unorthodox method and the conditions of the battle, they had rushed over to witness the war with their own eyes. How could China put a fight with Angus when the rest of the world could not!? They had the same number of Ascended tier bosses, yet why did their power gap differ so? All the other regions had lost the war in merely 5 to 6 hours, yet China was able to continue the fight and was actually showing signs of winning!


    They knew Zhang Yang. They knew the pet Phoenix that he had. They knew that Zhang Yang was strong. No one could deny that fact. However, with the Level Suppression system affecting his damage output, how could the man fight Angus toe to toe? Zhang Yang may be strong, but there will always be a limit to it! Could it be, the female on the Unicorn...NPC?! Their eyes bulged out when they saw the prowess of {Higher Regeneration} on all NPCs, including Zhang Yang and his party members! No wonder the NPC could tank so long against the attacks of Angus! Was there such a powerful healing skill? But why didn’t they receive such a buff? Why did the NPC note to their aid when they were fighting Angus then? Could the system be biased to China? It could not be...


    yers rode their mounts and tried to get a closer look at the battle between Zhang Yang and the boss, but they were blocked by the invisible wall. Disgruntled, but helpless, all they could do then was to watch how Zhang Yang defeats the final boss.


    Zhang Yang noticed that the other yers had moved back from the front lines. He then called his party members to ignore the soldiers and joined him in the boss fight. Since they had used their Transformation skills, might as well use them to the fullest. When all his party members came to his side, Zhang Yang called out Felice and have her morph into her Tree of Life form to assist Han Ying Xue and Fantasy Sweetheart in healing the entire team. As for the rest of the battlepanions of the other yers, they were all kept in their respected U.I.s since they were too weak to begin with. Without Transformation skills, they could not possibly survive the crazy bombardment of the boss.


    Merlinda had then demonstrated the prowess of her skill and cast {Higher Regeneration} on all his allies within 50 meters from her. It was extremely useful, since Zhang Yang had his {Vitality Aura} maxed out. Even the yer with the lowest HP, that was Fantasy Sweetheart, had over 10 million HP! With {Higher Regeneration}, Felice, Han Ying Xue, and Fantasy Sweetheart’s supercharged healing, everyone was able tost for as long as 2 minutes before they would need to pull back from the fight to fully restore their HP.


    Even though all of them were suffering damage reductions from the Level Suppression system, they were able topensate that with the damage gained from Transformation forms. Sun Xin Yu and Wei Yan Er were able to ditch out strong damage values. Sadly, Hundred Shot and Fatty Han were a little useless then. They were both Level 165 and both their Hunter’s pets were only Mythical tiers. Despite being the same Legendary Beast as the Phoenix, the Red Dragon and Fatty Han’s Phoenix could only deal damage half of what Zhang Yang’s Phoenix could.


    With the party all attacking alongside Zhang Yang, the overall DPS was increased slightly. Although it was not too obvious, the numbers will showter on after umtion. Although everyone could not possibly deal enough damage to be able to loot the drops, they were fine by it, since Zhang Yang was there to swoop all the itemster!


    On the other hand, other guilds that were unable to sortie to fight the boss could only stare at Lone Desert Smoke with utter disdain! However, even though they had yers with Transformation skills, they could not survive battling the boss, due to theck of elite tier NPC soldiers! If they even try to do so, they feared that they will be a target of Lone Desert Smoke. Right then, how many guilds had the ability to attack Lone Desert Smoke? Zhang Yang alone had fought 30,000 yers alone!


    Then again, even though they could not have the equipment then, they were still in for a treat themselves if Lone Desert Smoke wins the battle. The reward for killing Angus was Level +2 and the recipient would be the entire of China! China was thest in the line. If they are unable to defeat Angus then, they would have to wait for a whole cycle. Other regions would have the chance to defeat Angus then! Although the chances of other region defeating Angus was extremely slim, it was not a bet that anyone would be willing to take.


    Rather than going home empty-handed, might as well take home a Level +2 reward!
