Chapter 208: Situation Change
Shi Hao immediately made the decisive decision, waved the flag in his hand and shouted: “Attack!”
Immediately, ‘boom, boom, boom’, the war drum resounded. Then, Twin Dragons Village’s entire army rushed forward. The shield-bearing fighters pressed forward, and they were accompanied by thickly dotted arrow rain as they charged towards Heavenly Dragon Village’s army. That arrow rain directly fell from the sky and hit Yellow Scarf Warriors, whose morale was shaken after the attack of Fa Zheng, finally creating a result. With every round of arrow rain, some Yellow Scarf Warriors lost their lives.
“Good! Keep going!” Shi Hao said.
…………
On the other side, Wu Batian raised his eyebrows and was silent for a while. He then turned to Capable Monarch and asked: “Although I already knew that Twin Dragons Village has war dragons, I didn’t expect that fortune teller to be so powerful. Now, the morale of our army has already fallen, and they are following up a victory with hot pursuit. How can we reverse the situation?”
After speaking, Wu Batian looked at his remaining MP bar, and hastily drank a bottle of potion to avoid not being able to use his Soul of the Demon because of insufficient MP. At this moment, he was also certain in his heart that Shak the Heaven also had a terrifying skill. Otherwise, how could they be able to kill his Yellow Scarf Warriors just because of a shaken morale?
Suddenly, Capable Monarch said: “Looking at the current situation, there is only one way.”
Wu Batian was overjoyed and he asked: “What?”
Capable Monarch approached Wu Batian and whispered: “To find a way out of this impasse…”
…………
Soon, the situation leaned to one side. The absolute advantage of Twin Dragons Village became all the more obvious. The army of Heavenly Dragon Village had practically collapsed.
Shi Hao looked around and saw Feng Tianhao galloping around like mad and killing. The Bright Silver Stroke Halberd he held was already dyed bright red with blood, which was very conspicuous. The only pity was, so far, there were no casualties among the generals under Heroic Overlord Under Heaven. Shi Hao knew that, once a soldier died, it would be difficult to recruit a new one. Like the saying goes, it is easy to raise an army of one thousand, but hard to find a good general, killing a high-ranking military official, especially a historical NPC general, was the biggest blow.
Shi Hao waved his command flag again, ‘boom, boom, boom’, and the war drum continued to resound.
Immediately, the entire army of Twin Dragons Village followed up a victory and chased the generals of Heavenly Dragon Village.
Soon after that, Shi Hao looked around again. It was obvious that the combat power of Fan Chou and Wei Xu was on the low side, and they were trapped in an encirclement. Moreover, they were unable to do as much as they would like to. It could be seen that it would be very difficult for them to break out of the encirclement. On one side, Steady as a Dog and incomparably Handsome were also fighting hard with all their strength. If this continued, then they were clear that it would be hard to avoid death. As for Yuwen Chengdu and Pan Feng, they two were firmly protecting the surroundings of Heroic Overlord Under Heaven, and letting a few chiefs of Heavenly Dragon Village retreat.
“Don’t even think about running away!”
Shi Hao shouted: “Capture Heroic Overlord Under Heaven alive!”
…………
When Shake the Heaven shouted, Passionate Archer in the sky, however, frowned.
He continued to systematically command Flying Dragon Bow Calvary to shoot arrows at Heavenly Dragon Village’s remnants while carefully observing every action of Heroic Overlord Under Heaven below. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong.
A while later.
Suddenly, Passionate Archer muttered to himself: “When did Heroic Overlord Under Heaven become so low-keyed?”
While muttering, he ordered several archers to shoot probing arrows at Heroic Overlord Under Heaven.
He then saw Pan Feng’s agile movements to knock down the arrows for Heroic Overlord Under Heaven, protecting him perfectly.
Passionate Archer was stunned inwardly. He knew the character of Heroic Overlord Under Heaven. He was a person who feared death. Under normal circumstances, when Heroic Overlord Under Heaven saw that the arrows were flying towards him, he would definitely make Yuwen Chengdu protect him. How could he send Pan Feng? There was indeed something strange about it.
“Since that is the case, let me give it a try in person.”
After thinking so, Passionate Archer shot, and a Thunderbolt Arrow flew straight towards Heroic Overlord Under Heaven.
That Thunderbolt Arrow’s momentum was very overbearing. Passionate Archer was naturally very confident about it.
He was confident that, even if Yuwen Chengdu was there to protect Heroic Overlord Under Heaven, his Thunderbolt Arrow still had over 30% chances of killing the other party. Only people like Zuo Tiancheng, who had a defense against critical hits, could remain perfectly safe.
Passionate Archer carefully looked below.
He saw that although Yuwen Chengdu noticed the Thunderbolt Arrow, Yuwen Chengdu seemed to have no intention to stop or intercept it. As for Pan Feng, he even ignored Heroic Overlord Under Heaven and directly ducked to one side, seemingly afraid of being injured by the Thunderbolt Arrow.
“This…, that Heroic Overlord Under Heaven is a fake!” Passionate Archer instantly determined it.
Sure enough! As expected.
After the so-called Heroic Overlord Under Heaven, the chief of Heavenly Dragon Village, was killed, Passionate Archer successfully saw the name of the killed player—I Won’t Die Young.
“Not good! It’s a fraud.”
Passionate Archer roared, and his voice resounded throughout the battlefield.
…………
On the battlefield, there was a sudden change in the situation.
When Shi Hao heard ‘it’s a fraud’, he looked around in confusion. Heroic Overlord Under Heaven had already died, what’s wrong?
Shi Hao was very confused, but he was very clear about one thing. Passionate Archer was absolutely not a rash person. Since Passionate Archer said that it was a fraud, something unexpected must have happened. Shi Hao turned to Fa Zheng again, and saw Fa Zheng looked serious as if he felt something was suspicious. Therefore, Shi Hao immediately asked: “Xiaozhi, what do you think about this matter?”
Fa Zheng paused and replied: “If my guess is correct, then that dead Heroic Overlord Under Heaven is most likely a fake.”
Shi Hao was surprised: “What! How can Heroic Overlord Under Heaven do that?”
Fa Zheng sighed and said: “They should have arranged a substitute in advance, and that substitute should be waiting beside Heroic Overlord Under Heaven all the time. And since the battle is full of dust and sand clouds, as long as they take advantage of the opportune moment, they can instantly change places. It’s nothing strange.”
Shi Hao nodded his head and muttered: “So hateful! We actually let Heroic Overlord Under Heaven escape.”
However, Fa Zheng pointed at the distant black cloud and said: “Perhaps, that’s not the worst thing.”
Shi Hao looked over and was shocked again, moreover, he also felt a bit nervous. He knew that as soon as Fa Zheng said that, he guessed that it was a piece of very bad news, and thought: “That Heroic Overlord Under Heaven, what kind of scheme does he have?” He then asked: “What can be worse?”
Fa Zheng was silent for a while and replied: “I once heard of a formation called—Dead Soul Formation.”
Shi Hao asked: “Dead Soul Formation…, what’s its function?”
Fa Zheng replied: “Dead Soul Formation is an A grade commander-type skill. This skill is very bizarre and can only be used once a month. When this skill is used, all dead regular NPCs on their side would be resurrected as undeads, moreover, their combat power will be far stronger than when they were alive. This formation only lasts for a few minutes, but that’s enough to reverse many losing battles.”
Upon hearing the explanation, Shi Hao had some doubts. If it was truly like that, then although Dead Soul Formation could only be used once a month, it shouldn’t be just an A grade skill. It should be an S grade skill. Therefore, he asked: “Does this formation have a flaw? If not, how can it just be an A grade skill?”
Fa Zheng made a wry smile and said: “It has, and also hasn’t.”
Shi Hao asked again: “Xiaozhi, what do you mean?”
Fa Zheng replied: “Dead Soul Formation’s flaws lie in preparation conditions. When using this skill, you need to accumulate energy nearby. That process is quite long, not short. In addition, it would form a sign that resembles a black cloud, which is very conspicuous. Moreover, a lot of soldiers on one’s own side should have died on the battlefield. Therefore, if appropriate preventive measures are taken, it would be very hard for the opponent to carry it out in the battle.”
Fa Zheng added: “Unfortunately, the conditions are already sufficient now, and I’m afraid Heroic Overlord Under Heaven has already completed the process of the energy accumulation. I guess, not long after, those Yellow Scarf Warriors, who died before, will resurrect, becoming a powerful zombie army, which wouldn’t feel fear and will not be shaken. It will only kill with an extremely powerful combat power. At that time, even the common people of Twin Dragons Village might be implicated…”
Shi Hao was startled: “What, then…”
