What a pity.
In the current situation, it’s obviously impossible to catch an assassin-type [Player] who is determined to flee.
"It’s a sha we don’t have an assassin-type [Player]," He Feng said with a click of his tongue, "Otherwise, I would place him in the forest for a one-hit kill. Strike with an advantage."
"Enough of that, if we had a taunting skill that had a broad range, she wouldn’t be able to escape either." Li Changhe shook his head, "Let’s clean up the battlefield."
He wasn’t too enthusiastic.
He Feng got the gist of his aning, they’ve been brothers for years. A hint from Li Changhe was more than enough.
The green fla that just appeared, it should be the [Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers], and that familiar buzz saw sound...
It shouldn’t be, the Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers can summon many types of soldiers, from archers to the Mystery Cavalry. They’re all ancient soldiers.
And that buzz saw sound... It’s clearly a more recent Steam Soldier of the Great Tang!
He Feng glanced down at the dead Great Tang soldier at his feet, his face still wearing an inexplicable smile.
"I thought your [Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers] was just about summoning soldiers. I didn’t expect... it’s really about summoning the fallen warriors of the Great Tang." He Feng looked around again, no wonder Li Changhe said they had many comrades...
He patted Li Changhe on the shoulder and said, "Don’t mind, you are also letting them survive in another way. Wang Er was right ’Return to tread the netherworld road, flags and banners flow out of the ghost gate. At the hour of the tiger, the horn rises, Slaying Gods with you!’ Even if they beco heroic spirits, they are fighting alongside you."
Li Changhe is not a sentintal type, but he felt that this skill... really isn’t a happy one.
It gave Li Changhe the feeling that he was gaining strength by stepping on the corpses of his comrades.
"What about him?" He Feng looked at the distant fire, it was the smoky aftermath of a steam soldier’s self-destruction. Even now, as the savages began to flee, the fire still raged on.
Li Changhe thought for a second, while behind him the azure fla surged, a tall figure flashed past.
The rotation of the gear and the gush of steam are definitely...
This ti, He Feng’s face finally changed.
"Although it might seem heartless to say... after this battle, you have beco stronger!" He Feng paused, then murmured, "The more they die, the stronger you beco!"
"So, it makes feel like I’m a ghoul." Li Changhe’s gaze fell upon the distant flas, his pupils reflected the fiery glow, as if sothing was burning within them.
Yes, the effect of [Indomitable Ride of Hundred Tigers] is [Summon the heroic spirits of the Great Tang’s comrades-in-arms].
And that sacrificed Tang soldier, and the self-destructed steam soldier... they are all warriors of the Great Tang!
This ans that Li Changhe can now summon a steam armor of the Great Tang! Although it is only one, and its combat power has been weakened to 80% of its original body.
Li Changhe indeed has beco stronger now!
On the other hand, it seems that the defeat of the savages has caused the monsters in the forest to cease their assault.
As a piercing roar rang out, the trees on that side swayed for a while before everything returned to tranquility.
Then ca Father Xia, his hair disheveled, finally erging from the forest.
From his expression and the shreds of his sleeves, he probably suffered a little setback.
No trace remained of his previously mysterious and superior deanor, he now looked exactly like a beggar gang disciple, and likely one of the Eight Bags.
"I am indeed rather surprised. I didn’t anticipate such a creature could exist." Father Xia glancing at the mountain of corpses and chunks of flesh next to the camp.
His eyes twitched, "When my Great Tang naval forces return, we’ll definitely wash this island with blood!"
...
The battle losses have been tallied. Thirty-two Great Tang Steam Soldiers were killed, twenty-one were seriously injured, one steam soldier was lost, and another was damaged.
On the side of the savages... too many to count, over seven hundred that can be accounted for.
That also includes those gigantic monsters.
A loss ratio of more than twenty-to-one, such military exploits could be recorded in the annals of history anywhere.
But the losses are too great, the current Great Tang forces are not enough to deter other plot forces.
Of course, it’s not just the Great Tang that has been dealt a blow. Li Changhe surveyed the entire island using the Black Hawk. The martial arts forces no longer had any lights, even their bonfires had been put out.
Seems they have been scattered by the savages. It’s unclear how many have died.
And in the area of the World War II forces, gunshots are continuous.
But their camp was still stord, and in the end, though they managed to repel the savages, the casualties are bound to be heavy.
Besides, on this island without logistic support.
Once the WWII powers run out of ammunition, their advantage would cease to exist.
All three parties suffered heavy losses.
Li Changhe hesitated for a mont but eventually gave up the idea of taking advantage of the situation to attack the WWII forces.
If they couldn’t kill all the [Players] of the enemy and had to remain on the island, it would only result in self-digestion.
Every human force lost would make the remaining forces even more dangerous.
They had to carefully strategize while maintaining a balance among three...or two forces.
He Feng thought for a mont before responding, "In fact, we [Players] also play a significant role in this. Once our abilities are fully unlocked, we are quite formidable. So, the force we belong to would be safer. On the other hand, the martial arts forces, their whereabouts unknown, their present seenomic is also partly due to our departure."
"No, even if we were part of the martial arts forces, we could not have saved them from defeat." Moon God replied, "It is normal for them to be dispersed as they fought individually. Even if we joined them, it would rely increase the number of people in the fleeing team."
"But doing so could earn their greater friendship. The current situation calls for winning the support of as many plot forces as possible, to survive the upcoming period!" Cangyue Ming suggested, "Perhaps we should look for them. They should have realized the seriousness of the matter after last night’s battle. Cooperation is the key to survival!"
"They certainly would realize that, but we are at a disadvantage," He Feng shook his head.
"We were all at the Great Tang forces last night. Because the presence of the Assassin [Player], we dare not spread out into the forest. We missed the best opportunity." Li Changhe analysed, "And the other side....will not miss the opportunity to show up."
After a night of rest, everyone was in a much better state.
Now, all of them were dressed in the black armor of the Great Tang soldiers, watching from a distance as the Great Tang soldiers were cremating their deceased comrades.
Saluting their departed comrades.
On this island inhabited by cannibals, no one dared to leave their comrades exposed in the wilderness, not even in the grave.
As for the cannibals’ bodies? They would be burned after the Great Tang soldiers were settled, to thwart the enemy’s advantage.
Hu Shao had lost his left eye in the battle last night.
Now, with a bandage tied around his face, he whispered behind Li Changhe, "General Li Ba, if not for you, we might have suffered even more losses. Thank you, General!"
After the battle last night, many of the Great Tang soldiers had co to accept the rumor that Li Changhe was Li Ba.
The way they looked at Li Changhe now was filled with fanaticism and admiration.
Li Changhe didn’t respond, he didn’t even turn his head.
For so reason, he didn’t want to et their gaze.
Instead, he watched the flas in the distance for a long ti before saying, "Your Majesty really is... how should I put it....he’s truly deserving of being part of the old Li family, isn’t he? Going to such lengths to exert his authority. Quite shaless indeed!"
Hu Shao was sowhat puzzled, he didn’t understand the hidden aning behind Li Changhe’s words.
He only knew that General Li Ba seed to be blaming his Majesty, so he quickly pretended as if he hadn’t heard it.
Li Changhe didn’t say anything more.
Instead, he watched as a jeep slowly erged from a part of the forest.
It was the people from the WWII forces...
The Great Tang soldiers raised their chainsaw halberds, watching them vigilantly.
Father Xia waved his hand to have the soldiers lower their weapons.
"Don’t let them laugh at the expense of our Great Tang."
Because there was still a white flag tied to the hood of their car.
To his surprise, in the passenger seat was Captain Ross, whose tire Li Changhe had detached.
His arm was injured, and Li Changhe could see so blood seeping out underneath the bandage.
The vehicle stopped about twenty ters away from the entrance of the Great Tang camp.
Captain Ross glanced at the cannibal corpses on the ground. With his not-so-decent Chinese, he yelled, "Negotiations! We need to talk!"
"They’re here. They couldn’t hold on any longer. It seems like they’ve suffered plenty of losses as well." Li Changhe chuckled lightly, "They’ve co to form an alliance."
"Exactly. Everyone knows that they can’t hold on alone." He Feng’s gaze flickered.
"Then let’s negotiate. I reckon this will unlock the last task completion condition."
