Main Volume Chapter 174: Assessment of the Combat Strength of the Great Xia Dynasty
"attack!"
Huang Min raised the knife in his hand, pointed it at the fortress , and ordered an attack.
All of a sudden, all the Great Xia Royal Guards rushed out of the magic circle, ran towards the wall built by the bandits, kicked open the thick gate, like a pack of wolves rushing into a sheepfold.
Level 50 elite vs. level 30 ordinary bandits, the result is obvious. The bandits had no power to fight back and were chopped into pieces by the Great Xia Royal Guards.
Even the rain of arrows launched by the bandits just now was just a lot of noise but little rain. Even if Zhang Yun did not put up the defensive barrier, he could not hurt these Great Xia Royal Guards at all.
Soon, the fortress at the first checkpoint was cleared. There were more than thirty bandits in total, and it was estimated that some of them had escaped and reported the news.
But it's harmless.
Regardless of whether someone informed them or not, based on Zhang Yun's understanding of Ajid, they must have discovered that she was going up the mountain, and the ambush must have been set up.
Naturally, Zhang Yun was also ready to see what new tricks they came up with...
Then he saw dozens of white birds flying in the sky.
Oh no?
Exploding bird suicide attack?
Zhang Yun looked at the white birds flying all over the sky, sighed helplessly, and whispered, "That's it?"
I don't even need to take any action. These Great Xia Royal Guards can block this wave of attacks and remain unscathed.
Sure enough, just as Zhang Yun was thinking about it, several soldiers of the Great Xia Imperial Guards took out crossbows and fired several arrows in rapid succession, killing those white birds that were charging fearlessly in the middle of the fight.
They fell helplessly on the mountain path, unable even to struggle to death, triggering the small explosive balls in their bodies, which burst with a "bang".
Then, the air waves rolled, the rocks shattered, and the soil scattered everywhere.
But it couldn't hurt anyone on Zhang Yun's side.
After the Great Xia Royal Guards finished shooting this round of suicide birds, they continued to move forward. They did not encounter any ambushes along the way and reached the top of the hill in just over ten minutes.
There are no trees or forests here, the view is wide, the cold wind is howling, and you can also stand on the edge and overlook the land and the city of Baxia in the distance.
The only discordant thing was the huge fortress standing in the center of the mountain top. It looked like a wild giant made of wood. The flag on its head whistled in the cold wind on the top of the mountain. It exuded a domineering aura and stared at Zhang Yun and others quietly.
Huang Min looked at the fortress with its gates tightly closed in the distance and asked: "So it's just a bunch of bandits?"
Zhang Yun whispered, "They look like ordinary bandits, but those monsters must be behind this. Everyone, be careful. Those monsters should be here too."
"They have all kinds of abilities, and if we're not careful, we could fall prey to them."
As he spoke, Zhang Yun sent another follower to Lucina's side. It was Gugu, who could break the illusion and prevent the illusion array set up by the enemy on the top of the mountain.
[Hint: Gugu discovered the "Illusion Array" cast by the enemy, and used "Gugu Awakening" to break the "illusion state" on you! ]
Zhang Yun: “?”
He looked around and found that the illusion around him had not changed, but was slightly misplaced, and Lucina and the other Great Xia Royal Guards were also beside him.
It seems that he just stepped into the range of the illusion , but before the illusion occurred, or when it just started to occur, he relied on Gugu's specialized ability to break the opponent's illusion array.
Well……
It would be better to bring Gugu with you the whole time next time...
This illusion is really hard to guard against...
Without noticing...
At this time, the Great Xia Imperial Guard suddenly asked in confusion: "Hey! Did you notice? It seemed that something was slightly displaced just now? Was it an illusion?"
"Me too!"
“I saw that, too!”
"Well, I saw it all. This shouldn't be an illusion, right?"
Lucina also felt something was wrong, so she looked at Zhang Yun who had a calm face, and found that he was looking at her, especially that he had specially summoned Gugu to be by her side.
ah?
Cuckoo?
Is this an illusion?
Lucina figured it out and quickly realized that Zhang Yun wanted her to cover for him in order to hide his identity as a summoner.
So, she immediately explained in fluent Daxia language: "It's an illusion formation. We were just under an illusion. This bird is the summoned creature I summoned to break the illusion."
"It's all right now."
"With it, we won't be trapped by illusions, and we can wipe out these bandits with peace of mind!"
Huang Min and other imperial guards: “???”
ha?
Brother, do you still have a summoned beast that can break the illusion?
This... isn't this too strong?
and!
You can actually speak the language of Daxia?
And you speak so fluently?
For a moment, the Royal Guards of Da Xia were speechless, because Lucina didn't speak a word the whole time, and at most she spoke to Zhang Yun in Western languages. They thought that Lucina couldn't speak the language of Da Xia and needed Zhang Yun to translate for her!
But he actually could do it! ?
So embarrassing!
Fortunately, we didn't say anything bad about this big brother during the conversation. Otherwise, if he heard it, it would not only damage Daxia's impression in the West, but also make this powerful dual-professional hate us...
"Everyone!"
"Let's just attack right in!"
"Looking at the way they are defending the city and the illusion array they have set up, they should know we are coming!"
Hearing Lucina's suggestion, the Great Xia Royal Guards nodded in unison, indicating that it was okay. Then, led by Huang Min, they marched directly towards the bandits' stronghold.
Suddenly, arrows rained down and an Eastern sorcerer stood on the city wall, casting a secret technique that was slightly different from magic. He controlled the wind elements in the sky and transformed them into blades, flying towards the Great Xia Imperial Guards who were attacking the gate head-on.
However, facing the powerful Great Xia Royal Guards and the barrier elves who kept opening their shields to block attacks, all the attacks of the bandits were useless!
He moved gracefully, raised his sword to block, used his luck to protect his body, and finally jumped onto the top of the city wall, like a peerless knight who could fly over eaves and walls in ancient costume films, with the sword in his hand turning into a phantom.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Heads flew everywhere, blood splattered everywhere, and the bandits were slaughtered like chickens targeted by a butcher.
At this time, Zhang Yun stood in the distance, quietly watching the battle of the Great Xia Imperial Guards, and then roughly assessed their combat effectiveness in his mind.
If the fifty-five-level Murloc Captains are used as combat units, then each of these fifty-plus-level Great Xia Royal Guards can probably match forty to fifty Murloc Captains, while the number of Ajid's followers is slightly more, roughly equivalent to seventy to eighty Murloc Captains.
In other words, if we ignore external factors and let Ajid's followers deal with two Great Xia Royal Guards alone, the winning rate of both sides will fluctuate in the middle, about 50-50.
And if the Savilla steel that can restrain Ajid is added, then a single soldier of the Great Xia Royal Guard can fight against Ajid's followers, and one can beat several at a time, and can even smash their heads.
After all, the properties and effects of restrained weapons are too powerful. Even if it is equipped to the captain of the colored pen fishman, it can chop Ajid's followers into an injured state...
If these Great Xia Royal Guards were to work together, they would be able to crush all the professional guilds in the desert, including the muscular man with dual level 45, who would not be able to last a single round against any of them.
Looking at the paladins of level 40 or 50 in the Holy City, although their levels and attributes are similar, they are not as graceful and flexible in combat, and their skill values are also far apart.
If the two were to fight, the Great Xia Imperial Guards would surely win, while the Paladins would only be able to hold out for a few rounds before being beheaded by the other side.
Therefore, Lucina was right, the combat effectiveness of the East was indeed much higher than those professionals in the West.
At least from the top...
It is like this…
But compared to the buggy phantom of the Ancient Evil God, these Great Xia Royal Guards are not enough. They will be slaughtered at will by the phantom of the Ancient Evil God just like the paladins of the Holy City.
Only with a sufficient number of people, the coordination of various abilities, and the subconscious letting go of the Ancient Evil God's phantom, will there be a chance to defeat these monsters.
Or you can go for a pure sacrifice approach, relying on thousands of professionals to wear down the Ancient Evil Gods' health and stamina, and eventually wear them out.
Well?
That is to say?
Without the top combat power of the Inheritors, ordinary professionals in this world would need to make great sacrifices and fight for many years before they could possibly defeat the Ajid forces...
This is under the premise that Ajid does not release his clone and only relies on the phantom and Ajid's believers.
If they release their clones.
That's like using an AK47 to fight apes in the Stone Age, or using a nuclear bomb to bomb medieval cavalry. The gap in combat power between the two spans thousands of years, and there is absolutely no chance of turning defeat into victory.
so?
Before the ancient war?
How did those humans and other creatures rebel against the ancient evil god?
Can this really fight?
Wouldn't he be killed directly?
While Zhang Yun was curious, the Great Xia Royal Guards had already killed the outermost bandits.
Lucina was as fierce as a tiger. She broke into the enemy's base camp and swung her ordinary long sword continuously, eliminating the bandits who dared to approach her one after another.
Zhang Yun didn't want to keep slacking off, so he took out his unused Pumpkin Jack gun and followed behind the Great Xia Royal Guards, stabbing one or two dying bandits from time to time, pretending that he was fighting hard.
As the fight went on, the group of people wiped out most of the bandits and came to the back of the entire city, where the bandits' king was.
As Zhang Yun expected, the opponent's leader was a member of Ajid, and the Toad Master who was summoned by Miriko Hanyu to plot against Zhang Yun was also here. The illusion array outside the mountain village was set up by it.
Unfortunately, with Gugu around, this Toad Immortal who specialized in formations was killed. He couldn't use the strongest illusion formation in his hand, and could only use other buff-type enhanced formations.
but?
Is it useful to add buffs to a group of cannon fodder?
The answer is of course yes!
Useless!
Lucina was the first to be hit. The long sword in her hand emitted a white holy light. She turned into a whistling gale and passed through the bandits who were unable to react in time and jumped in front of the Toad Immortal.
"Sword. White Moon Shadow!"
boom!
-31283!
Without the holy sword, Lucina's attack power dropped significantly, but relying on her current five-star explosion attribute and evolved professional skills, she still dealt 30,000 damage, instantly cutting off one-fifth of Toad Immortal's blood.
"Sword. White Moonlight!"
"Sword. White Crescent Moon!"
Lucina then unleashed her standard three-hit combo, with each hit increasing the damage of the next one, equivalent to a combo unleashed by one person.
In an instant, 50,000 and 70,000 damage popped up on Toad Immortal's head, just enough to clear out his health of about 150,000 and send him back to the ancient battlefield.
"sharp!"
"I can tell at a glance that this demon in a Taoist robe is very powerful!"
“I didn’t expect that this friend from the West would kill me with just three sword strikes!”
After saying that, Lucina set her sights on the bandit leader again. She dodged the scattered bandits and went straight to meet him.
At this moment, the opponent also transformed into the appearance of the Akito monster, his body suddenly grew by three or four meters, and his abilities increased dramatically.
Zhang Yun took a look and found that this guy was a level 50 elite BOSS, whose attributes were more like a warrior template with high attack, high defense and low agility.
Most of its skills are damaging attack skills, with a few buff skills to enhance its own abilities. It looks similar to Lanzab.
If dealing with a normal professional of the same level, this Ajid is still quite difficult to deal with. After all, his attack and defense attributes are relatively high, and his agility is not particularly low, which means he can both resist and fight.
But unfortunately, it was facing Lucina, whose strength had increased dramatically. Even if it was not equipped with a restraining weapon and most of the damage was offset by Ajid's passive ability, Lucina could still chop it into pieces.
"Sword. Sun. Emerald Blue Sky!"
boom!
40,000 for one sword!
Killed instantly, health bar disappears, entering the second stage!
"Sword. Sun. Falling into dusk!"
boom!
Thirty-eight thousand for one sword!
Killed instantly again, the health bar disappeared, and entered the third stage!
Seeing this, the group of Great Xia Royal Guards were immediately excited!
"Wow!?"
"This power!?"
"Really! That's amazing! It's really amazing!"
“Master Huang Min… I think that if you were to come, you probably wouldn’t be able to block these two swords!”
"I can't stop it! I really can't stop it! This brother's martial arts is much stronger than mine!"
Huang Min smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew very well that the fighting ability of this Westerner named Yutier was far beyond his own. Even if all the imperial guards of Daxia on his side attacked together, they might not be his match.
Therefore, even though what this colleague said was a bit harsh and could easily offend people, Huang Min did not get angry about it, and he did not expect to make things difficult for him afterwards.
Because in Daxia, the idea is that warriors are supreme and the strong are respected.
Admitting to others that they are stronger than you will show that you have martial virtues and will make others respect you, knowing that you are a strong person who knows your true level.
If one is unwilling to accept defeat and refuses to admit defeat, he or she will punish other colleagues who tell the truth and make things difficult for others.
Then Huang Min would become a coward who was laughed at by everyone in the Great Xia Royal Guards. He had no strength and did not allow others to speak out. It was like covering one's ears and stealing a bell. Everyone would think he was extremely stupid.
However, this kind of thinking will not get you far in martial arts because it is not open-minded enough and the mind is too narrow.
"As expected... is this the end? Then I will offer... my last life... to Lord Ajito!" The bandit in the third stage turned back into human form. He knew that he had no chance of fighting back, so he sacrificed his life before dying and summoned a new phantom of the ancient evil god.
Come out!
A great being from ancient times!
…
At the same time, a group of mysterious people in black robes suddenly appeared at the foot of Hengshan Mountain. There were several hundred of them. They stood in front of the path leading to the mountain, holding hard daggers emitting black light in their hands.
"Everyone!"
"The seduction plan was successful!"
"Those targets are on the mountain!"
"If we can't stop them from going down the mountain today, then by the time they reach Daxia's imperial capital, our preparations over the past few thousand years will most likely be for naught!"
"And Master Akito will continue to be imprisoned!"
"Are you willing to let the great Agito-sama be imprisoned for another thousand years?"
Everyone answered: "No!"
The leading black-robed man continued to ask: " Are you willing to sacrifice your lives for the great Master Ajid?"
Everyone answered: "Yes!"
The leading black-robed man said, “In that case, please take the sacrificial daggers in your hands, stab them into your chests, free your souls, and liberate those great beings imprisoned in the ancient battlefield!”
"And the monsters trapped in the abyss!"
"The undead trapped between two worlds!"
"A brutal monster!"
"Release them all, destroy those damn enemies, then grab the key and create opportunities for our companions in the west!"
"The war...has already begun!"
“We must win!”
As he spoke, the leading man in black robe thrust the dagger into his own heart, and the others followed his example and thrust the dagger into their own hearts without hesitation.
Suddenly, a dark energy emitting an evil aura flowed out from them, gathered into a ball, and then slowly floated into the sky, transforming into countless chaotic and invisible meteors, flying towards the tall and majestic Hengshan Mountain...
