Chapter 464: 463, [Illusion Duel] (Six): A Triumph of Crushing The Weak_1
Su Yu certainly did not show mercy to this opponent of “human-machine” caliber.
Within less than one minute, the conical formation sliced into the haphazard ranks of the white player, sharp as a blade.
The shield-bearing soldiers took the brunt of the damage, while the spearmen stabbed the enemies from behind their shields;
Priests showered their injured comrades with waves of healing light, while archers focused fire towards the enemy backline;
Cavalry flanked and interleaved on both wings, and mages unleashed widespread attack spells…
All types of soldiers, performing their duties and working together, seemed like seasoned veterans who had experienced many battles.
In contrast, the white player was incapable of organizing effective resistance, and his ranks scattered under the impact of Su Yu’s well-disciplined troops on the first encounter.
Su Yu calmly commanded his troops to slaughter relentlessly.
In just two minutes, over half of the enemy troops were annihilated.
Ultimately, under the concentrated fire of the archer division, the white player located in the center of the enemy forces was successfully taken down. Su Yu’s forces gained the first [Victory Pursuit] buff on the field.
The whole process went exceptionally smoothly.
…
While Su Yu was dealing with the white player, chaos had already erupted across the battlefield.
Being the first to secure a buff gave a significant advantage, so out of 20 troops, 10 pairs were fighting one on one, 6 were ganging up two against one, and the remaining 4 remained inactive for now.
Coincidentally, these 4 troops were all located on the east side of the battlefield, while Su Yu was positioned to the north.
These four armies had been observing the development of the battle and had yet to make their move.
Soon enough, they noticed Su Yu.
After witnessing Su Yu’s well-disciplined troops crushing the opponent like a wrecking ball and displaying a power level beyond compare, the commanders of the four armies immediately understood that they had met a true expert!
A tree that stands out in a forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Out of the four armies, three formed an unspoken alliance, advancing towards Su Yu with the intent to together eliminate this greatest threat.
The remaining army stayed put in a relaxed manner, it’s unclear what was running through their mind.
“Nemesis, what are you planning to do?” the cat on his shoulder asked, turning to look at him.
“Fight! It’s just three times the enemy forces, can’t I beat them?” Su Yu smirked confidently.
In these flag-advancing simulations, the commander’s instructions play a significant role in influencing the combat capabilities of the troops.
For example, when Su Yu played against Tina, he often had to use three times the troop quantity to hold his ground.
Now faced against three “black iron” players, he felt no fear in taking them on by himself.
Su Yu commanded his troops and changed formation from the “conical formation” to the more aggressive “Arrowhead formation”, charging towards the nearest of the 3 enemy armies.
…
The moment Su Yu charged, the commanders of the 3 enemy armies were stunned.
Granted, Su Yu’s forces were indeed buffed with “all attributes +20%”, but to take on three armies at once, wasn’t this a little too ambitious? Or was it just his audacity given his superior skill?
However, the battlefield was fast-paced and ever changing. Su Yu had his mages cast [Speed-up] as support, and in less than half a minute his troops had closed the gap of 400 meters to instantly face their enemies.
The 3 commanders had no time to think, they were forced to respond hastily.
The army led by a Chinese player was closest to Su Yu, a little further away was a white female player, and the farthest was a middle-aged, bearded man of unclear nationality given the distance.
“Mages, form the [Arcane Aggregation Array]!” As Su Yu shouted his command, the mages started forming an arcane magical array.
“Archers, target coordinates (1456, 6327), fire!” he continued to command.
These coordinates matched the location of the white female player.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The twang of bowstrings sounded, and hundreds of arrows took flight.
Su Yu [Flashed] into the center of the [Arcane Aggregation Array], utilizing the array’s power to forcefully bring together all the airborne arrows.
Originally loose and separate, hundreds of arrows were fused into a missile constructed of arrows, carrying a destructive energy, it raced towards the white female player.
The white female was taken aback, but the speed of the arrows was too fast and she had no time to avoid them.
Although the priests behind her had layered her with more than ten rounds of [Holy Shield] without her command, the power behind the strike was way too strong, rendering the shields useless.
Thud! Thud!
The sounds of metal piercing flesh rang out clearly. Instantly turning into a flash of white light, the white female disappeared on the spot along with her army.
With that, Su Yu’s forces secured a second layer buff and accelerated again, morale at its peak, they fiercely launched towards the Chinese player’s forces.
The remaining two commands were dumbstruck!
Could this even play out this way?
With this play, Su Yu had evolved the archer division from “Pea Shooters” into “Corn Artillery”.
How were they supposed to know that a mage command had this kind of function?
But it was too late now.
The Chinese player’s forces fell apart after just one clash in the face of the 40% boost and the absolute difference in command expertise.
Before the middle-aged, bearded man’s troops could even arrive, Su Yu was confident that he could wipe out the Chinese player’s forces.
The Chinese commander was in a state of high alarm; he looked back at the middle-aged, bearded man less than 200 meters away, seeking help.
Yet, what he saw almost made him stumble.
The middle-aged, bearded man had stopped advancing and started retreating. He was actually afraid!
A wave of despair washed over the Chinese player.
“Nevermind, I surrender.” The Chinese player shook his head helplessly and quantum departed from the illusory map.
With another layer added to Su Yu’s troops’ buff, it stacked up to three layers.
Up till now, the one-on-one and two-on-one fights had just ended. At the moment, 11 armies remained on the field.
Looking over the field, every commander’s gaze involuntarily drifted to Su Yu.
Because Su Yu’s troops astonishingly had three layers of buffs!
Of the 11 armies left on the field, excluding Su Yu, 6 had a single layer of buff and 4 had none.
Su Yu’s three layers of buff was extremely formidable!
And Su Yu was about to acquire more than just three layers soon.
While the commanders were surveying the battlefield, Su Yu had already led his troops in a fervent pursuit and assault of the bearded man’s nearby army.
The bearded man’s troops were being massacred with no power to retaliate. In less than a minute, his troops were sure to fell under Su Yu’s iron hooves.
Seeing this scene, the hearts of the remaining nine commanders sank and the same thought popped into their heads: They must quickly eliminate this man; if they let him continue to grow, no one will be able to stop him later!
Out of the nine troops, eight of them had almost simultaneously marched towards Su Yu.
The one that remained stationary was the same force that had stayed put from early on.
Even now they remained in place, it was unclear what the commander was thinking.
