Apart from Robb, everyone was disheartened!
In their eyes, despite years of preparation and a massive army, all they faced was a shaful defeat.
But Robb wasnt bothered in the slightest. Who ever heard of fighting a BOSS without a few group wipes?
Only through continuous trial and error can everyone gain experience in battling the BOSS. Experience is invaluable, making the next fight easier. He shouted to the downtrodden crowd, Stop sulking! So we lost once, big deal? With my resurrection spells, we can afford to lose. I was prepared to lose a few rounds anyway. Thats why I instructed the Thors Roar and the Tank teams to save ammo. Do you understand now?
The crowd suddenly grasped why Godfather had been conserving ammunition.
It seed Godfather knew from the beginning that defeating the dragon wouldnt happen in one try. Therefore, all expendable magical items had to be used sparingly so they wouldnt run out after resurrecting the dead. Their spirits lifted!
The first order of business was to resurrect the dead. Those whose bodies were moved by the logistics troops were easily handled. With Robbs mass resurrection spell, they were all revived instantly. Each had died at different tisso smashed by the dragons fiery teor, so swept away by its wings, so trapped in its fiery circle, so hit by its thorny armor.
Because they each had different tis of death, they were completely in the dark about the subsequent battle events. As soon as they were resurrected, people imdiately briefed them on what had transpired.
Next, Robb had to resurrect several hundred people who were burned to death by the dragons breath, whose bodies were less than 100 yards from the dragon. They would imdiately be in danger of being attacked upon resurrection.
Robb turned to the knights of the Kingdom of Norma and said, You knights live in the Northern Plains; you should be skilled in using lassos, right?
Skilled! replied the knights, We can lasso a horses neck with unerring accuracy.
Good, Robb smiled. Prepare yourselves. For every person I resurrect, youll lasso one back.
The knights hurriedly prepared their lassos, although they looked a bit awkward
Robb cast a resurrection spell on an elven archer. The archer instantly sat up: Ah, Im dead! Is the Dragon War over? Did we win?
Just as he asked this, he found the dragon still before him, staring at him with its massive eyes. He looked around; corpses were everywhere. His allies were safely standing beyond the 200-yard range of the dragon, leaving only himfreshly resurrected and unfortunatewithin the dragons attack range.
The elven archer was so scared he almost wet himself on the spot. He turned to look at the black dragon, which suddenly rose to its feet.
Oh my God! The elven archer scread, Help eeee!
Just as he yelled, a lasso flew in from a distance, quickly tightening around his neck. Instinctively, the elven archer grabbed it to keep it from choking him.
Imdiately after, he felt a trendous force yanking him backward.
It turned out that a group of knights, not just one, were pulling the lasso. The force was imnse, and the elven archer felt himself being lifted off the ground.
The black dragon charged at him, but he was pulled horizontally across the sky.
As the black dragons massive jaws descended towards him, the elven archer scread in terror. The knights pulled him so swiftly that the dragons jaws missed by re inches, snapping shut in empty air. Then the unlucky elf was pulled over a hundred yards and landed with a thud, well outside the aggro range.
The black dragon didnt pursue him further and swung its tail back around. Afterwards, the elven archer, slapping his chest, jokingly said to the crowd, Ive already died once; dying again wouldnt be a big deal.
Ah, true that, the crowd concurred.
Robb cast a mass resurrection spell, reviving several people. More ropes were thrown, pulling these newly resurrected individuals back into the fray.
After repeating this process for a long ti, all of the fallenhundreds of themwere finally saved. Everyone sat in the safety zone, drinking water and eating bread to recover their stamina.
Robb also took a sip of water and restored so MP. After the recent heavy losses, the warriors had gleaned valuable lessons. Next ti we fight the black dragon, we cant die to this attack again, they said. The mont we see the dragon sweep its head, we need to anticipate whether it will rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise and prepare accordingly.
Lets agree on a chant, so we can rotate in unison as we shout it out, soone suggested.
Chants are magical; their rhythm and tone can synchronize peoples actionsa trick that humanity has been utilizing since ancient tis.
As the warriors debated, Robb beckoned to the knights coming from the east. Ahem ahem Gentlen, co here. I need to explain to you what clockwise and counter-clockwise an.
The knights were rather embarrassed; their earlier defeat was due to this confusion.
Please, enlighten us about what is clockwise and counter-clockwise, they said, all ears.
Robb had soone bring over a pocket watch and patiently explained not only the concepts of clockwise and counter-clockwise, but also the concept of telling ti. He made sure to go into detail so that everyone could understand fully. After all, they had plenty of ti; there was no need to rush.
After a full hour of reorganization, clarifying key points, taking breaks, replenishing food and wateroh, and so people even took the opportunity to visit the restroomthe team was ready once more.
Robb stood up again: Prepare to engage!
Everyones spirits were lifted. From the inner circle to the outer ring, from the mountains peak to its slopes, everyones fighting spirit reignited.
Lets do this again!
We can win this ti.
We will not fall to the black dragons breath again.
Go, Go, Go! Lets go!
Singing the song of Forever and Beyond, together proclaiming As Far as the Eye Can See, justice shall not fall! Today, I will use this three-foot-long blade to slay the black dragon and restore peace and order to this chaotic world.
And so, filled with renewed resolve and understanding, the team prepared to face their fearso foe once more.
