Chapter 1294: Chapter 878: Capturing the Fortress

(The earlier text changed: the rewards for the first and second rounds were changed from Blueprints to points, the rest remains unchanged.)

The confrontation between transmigrators quickly attracted a large audience.

The ranking in the live streaming room was rapidly climbing.

Although it had not reached the top ranks, it had appeared within the scope of the homepage.

“This is fantastic, Trolls and Bone Dragons, two special factions battling it out.”

“So many Bone Dragons, is this Ms. Cleolando’s channel? The Undead are really powerful indeed.”

“Damn, that’s so cool. If I had that many Bone Dragons, I could definitely make it onto the leaderboard.”

“Who knows whose live streaming channel this is?”

“Undead Desert, how can I join? Honestly, I’m somewhat tempted.”

“Not long ago, I heard that ‘Cleolando’ was wanted by the Undead, and her ranking has been falling.”

“Trolls are very powerful too, natural warriors, who knows who will lose or win!”

Inside the live broadcast, the number of viewers was increasing.

The chat box became even more lively.

Dragons, Bone Dragons, whether in the hearts of the natives or transmigrators, are top-notch troop types.

Most people just hear about them, and even more, they never have the chance to see them.

Now, the transmigrators suddenly saw so many Bone Dragons and exhibited an indescribably high excitement.

As if they too had a chance to acquire such troops.

But the opposing Troll faction was also very strong, with rare and powerful troops.

However, in this battle, they were clearly overshadowed by the Bone Dragons and the four-armed White Bone leaders.

They became merely a backdrop with no sense of presence.

The discussions revolved around their formidable strength and the identity of the Bone Dragon Lord.

The battle continued, Bone Dragons circling in the sky, black pillars of deathlight leaving scorched marks on the ground.

Charging Trolls fell in droves under the Dragon Breath, staggering, flesh stripping away to leave skeletal remains.

The Trolls started rapidly thinning in numbers, with basically no ability to fight back.

They could only roar in Rage, falling down like wheat before the scythe.

The Troll Ravagers, after throwing all the axes from their waists, raised their round shields above their heads and launched an attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!!

The Ravagers crossed the boundary, and their round shields collided with the four-armed White Bone leaders’ large shields.

Loud clashing noises resounded.

Each armed with weapons, they hacked and slashed at each other in the most direct way.

Trolls naturally had a size advantage, were strong and dominated in melee combat.

But the four-armed White Bone leaders combined the traits of two troop types, with shields impervious and weapons striking from various directions incessantly puncturing the Trolls’ bodies.

Even facing the cuts from three weapons, the Trolls’ round shields couldn’t hold, and they began to fall one after another.

Being trampled on by the four-armed White Bone leaders, the advance continued.

At this point, both the brown-haired middle-aged man from across and the transmigrators watching the live stream took notice of the peculiar infantry.

It seemed… this kind of infantry was also very strong.

Replacing all with these oddly shaped four-armed Skeletons might not result in a loss.

The battle went on, the clanging of combat, Bone Dragons’ breath, Trolls’ wails filling the entire battlefield.

The ‘Disaster Priests’ at the back hardly played any role in combat.

Their role seemed more like a support troop type.

They could buff their own troops and cast debuffs on the enemy.

Just that their skills had no effect on the Bone Dragons.

The Bone Dragons swept past and began circling in the rear,

After a sweep of Dragon Breath, the Costume-clad ‘Disaster Priests’ had been almost entirely killed or wounded.

The flanking Rhino Cavalry finally reached the four-armed White Bone leaders’ flank.

Heavy footsteps, directly crashing into the White Bone leaders’ formations, started to rampage.

These rhinos, huge in size, bore impact force akin to armored vehicles.

Facing the Troll shield formations which had not been thrown into Chaos, this moment saw instant dissolution.

Bodies flew as they were knocked over and scattered.

The Trolls surged forward, seizing the opportunity to pounce on the four-armed White Bone leaders.

A wave of frantic slashing followed, inflicting heavy casualties.

But soon, the Bone Dragons returned to provide support.

Dragon Breath pursued scattering Trolls and began spewing.

Later on, the confrontation turned into a chase, with frenzied running and chasing across the small island.

Even though there were still Trolls on the field, the outcome had been decided.

The brown-haired man shook his head helplessly towards Fang Hao, admitting his defeat.

Roar!!

A breath of Dragon Breath erupted, covering the last struggling fleeing cavalry.

With that, the battle came to an end.

[Round three, battle over.]

[Combat report (Decisive Victory): Kills 500, Wounded 5, Deaths 15.]

[Combat Points: 12500 (Base 5000, Decisive Victory 5000, Lord’s Battle 2500.)]

The battle ended, categorized as a Decisive Victory.

Obviously, a Decisive Victory did not grant as many points as a Complete Victory.

This must be related to the soldiers that died.

Wounded and dead were all ground four-armed White Bone leaders.

The Trolls, unable to attack the Bone Dragons, took all their fury out on the attackable four-armed Skeletons.

Of the 20 four-armed White Bone leaders, a direct 15 died, and the remaining 5 were also disabled.

But it didn’t matter much, as in this mission, troops don’t actually die in combat, and once out, all would recover.

Apart from earlier base points and Decisive Victory points, an additional Lord’s Battle points were added, an extra 2500.

Then, the opposite tower and transmigrators began to disappear bit by bit

The Stone Tower beneath Fang Hao expanded in area, forming a huge grandstand.

The surrounding objects became more elaborate.

Also, beside Fang Hao, an extra stone chair appeared.

Empty!

This made Fang Hao somewhat uncomfortable.

He always felt like a transmigrator could spawn beside him at any moment.

If someone suddenly popped up, it would certainly give him a fright.

Fang Hao observed the changes to the Stone Tower.

The watching spectators started discussing again.

“God, is it already over? A completely one-sided battle, the Undead camp is too strong.”

“It feels like the battle didn’t even last half an hour, it’s somewhat terrifying.”

“What’s there to be shocked about, with several hundred Bone Dragons, anyone could steamroll you, it’s very normal.”

“Whose livestream room is this?”

“It’s quite terrifying!”

Hoo~!

A new island approached once again, merging into a new battlefield.

[Fourth Round, please select up to 800 troops of any rank from the Book of Lords for battle.]

[Enemy Forces Entry Countdown: 4 minutes 59 seconds…]

This side’s battle still drew plenty of attention.

With some transmigrators promoting in other livestream rooms, the number of viewers here was getting higher and higher.

The amount of messages in the chat box below also increased, flipping through faster and faster.

[Fourth Round Over, Total Victory: Combat points 20000.]

[Fifth Round Over, Total Victory: Combat points 25000.]

The battle continued, with Fang Hao still deploying a small number of infantry, supported by an even greater number of Bone Dragons.

Subsequent battles would switch between system enemies and other transmigrators every other match.

The second transmigrator to fight was the human camp, bringing a large number of flagellants, Giant Sword warriors, gunners, and Tomb Robbers, as well as many swift hawks.

This transmigrator’s troop configuration clearly emphasized strategy.

The mix and number of troops were all maintained in a certain connection.

The flagellants buffed themselves and charged to the front, with the Giant Sword warriors forming the second echelon.

The gunners sought positions, while swift hawks circled in the air.

The Tomb Robbers, feeling more like Assassins, lingered on the sidelines.

Moreover, the Tomb Robbers’ weapons were daggers and pistols, suddenly giving you a quiet shot when you least expect it.

It could be said that both the mix strategy and tactical thought were not bad, just not suitable for battling Fang Hao.

The deterrence of the Bone Dragons made the swift hawks fly wildly about, fearful of coming close.

Dragon Breath swiftly cleared all the units below.

The third transmigrator was from the Dwarf Camp, bringing long-bearded warriors, Thunder Gunners, horned cavalry, and dwarf grenadiers.

Though lacking air forces, the dwarves’ understanding of firearms was still much stronger than other races.

At least, it was more lethal than the individual who brought the swift hawks.

Bullets left pockmarks on the dragon’s armor.

Two transmigrators, two big victories.

…

“The Dwarf Camp is one of the top transmigrators in our region, not even able to last half an hour under the attack of the Bone Dragons.”

“Too terrifying, anyone who encounters him in this mission might as well drop out.”

“It can almost be certain now, this person has eight or nine out of ten chances of being the top-ranked Fang Hao. ‘Cleolando’ doesn’t have a main city, and definitely can’t participate in this mission.”

“Looking at it this way, Fang Hao’s top spot is probably thanks to these Bone Dragons.”

“I feel it’s too unfair, there’s completely no operation here, just piling up Bone Dragons.”

“Damn operations, this is war, there’s never been such a thing as fairness.”

“Who talks about fairness when you have powerful troops?”

The previous battlefield continued, and the viewers kept discussing.

In the live broadcast situation, you can just view the entire battlefield, which gives a better perspective than the participating transmigrators.

Acting as judges and analysts, they didn’t stop discussing.

They started analyzing battle methods according to the action and state of the troops.

Privately, they continued to exchange intelligence.

Watching the show is one thing, but there were competitive relationships among the transmigrators now.

Many were watching while taking notes of the intelligence information.

[Tenth Round, please select up to 5000 troops of any rank from the Book of Lords for a siege battle.]

[Enemy Forces Entry Countdown: 29 minutes 59 seconds…]

Boom boom boom!

As the voice faded, a distant island quickly approached from afar.

Different from before, this island wasn’t an empty floating one, but rather a square fortress.

The fortress wasn’t large, with Arrow Towers standing at each of the four corners.

Boom.

A violent shake occurred as the two islands merged together.

It looks like the siege battle is to capture the fortress on the opposite side.

With a siege and a personnel limit, you have to give it some careful thought.

Just Bone Dragons might have a hard time making an impact, especially if the opposing forces hide in the buildings and don’t come out.

Then the battle could go on indefinitely.

For the shield troops, still the four-armed skeletal commanders, and for the ranged attacks, the Thunder Gunners as ever.

Regular fortresses have wall heights of only about twelve or thirteen meters.

The Giants, when lifting their arms, could help scales the walls.

In the air, the main force remains the Bone Dragons.

As he thought, he began pulling up the troop types in the Book of Lords.

…

“Which round has this reached? While others are at the third or fourth round, the island area here is so large, how can there be a fortress?”

“It must be Fang Hao, confirmed, I just came back from Ms Savana’s place, she just reached the fifth round, the Elf Clan’s queen’s trusted aides, they’re so pretty, watching their battle is quite pleasing to the eyes.”

“This is the tenth round.”

“Thank god Ms Savana didn’t encounter Fang Hao, otherwise no matter how beautiful the elves, they wouldn’t be able to withstand a few bites from the Bone Dragons.”

“Hey, are you trying to divert traffic here?”

…

Fang Hao didn’t pay attention to the discussions in the chat box, and continued studying the mix of troop types.

After making adjustments, he checked again.

He then selected confirm.

Whoosh-whirl!

The sound of wings flapping, the noise of armor colliding and rubbing, rose instantly.

Large, neatly arranged, four-armed skeletons carrying rifles, sturdy Thunder Gunners, giant White Bone Giants in heavy armor, and swarms of Bone Dragons appeared in a flash of light, filling one side of the battlefield.

At the same time, the system also generated Siege Ladders and siege engines.
