Chapter 1865 - 1864: Methods of Stalling!

What surprised him even more was that the explosion had a very large range, directly destroying all the half-beasts, beasts, and skeleton monsters within dozens of meters!

Moreover.

After the explosion ended, a huge cloud of yin energy was produced!

The yin energy clung to the newly incoming half-beasts, rapidly eroding their auras. By the time the half-beasts advanced thirty to fifty meters, they had already become dried corpses, lying on the ground without a trace of life.

The beasts and even the skeleton monsters were no different!

"This..."

Qin Feng was utterly amazed.

The power of this soldier, whether in terms of the explosion’s range or the severity of the explosion’s aura damage, was much stronger than the bottle of poison he obtained doing the "Hidden Task"!

He looked towards the Ghost Lady.

The Ghost Lady was carefully manipulating the sand table at the moment.

She wasn’t in a hurry to let the soldiers bomb in turns because she seemed to have rebuilt the gate, only leaving a small opening where just three to five enemies could pass through at a time. After gathering a certain number, she would then have the soldiers bomb and let the yin energy cling around the gate to save the soldiers to the greatest extent.

"How did you create this gate?"

Qin Feng asked curiously.

This gate allowed enemies to breach, so they wouldn’t attack the main gate, preventing a large-scale invasion; by wearing them down here little by little, it was extremely convenient!

"This was bought from a general store. At the time, I bought whatever was cheap. This wasn’t expensive, so I bought it casually," the Ghost Lady said. "Without this gate, their attacking frenzy wouldn’t be withstandable."

"Impressive!"

Qin Feng couldn’t help but admire; the Ghost Lady had never played online games, yet she could guess that things in the general store could be useful. Such awareness wasn’t something everyone had. If only she had money, perhaps she would have bought everything from the store before I got there.

"Of course, the gate’s durability is low and needs constant repair."

The Ghost Lady continued while taking some Spirit Stones for Ding Lan and Shuang’er to place at the sand table gate to repair the gate’s durability. "Currently, it can only defend against a ’Level 1 Frenzy’; beyond that, a ’Second-level Frenzy’ would be hard to resist."

"With your ’Yin Qi Bomb Soldiers,’ it’s enough to hold off the ’Level 1 Frenzy,’" Qin Feng couldn’t help asking, "By the way, how do you create those ’Yin Qi Bomb Soldiers’? Do you also use something from the general store?"

"Of course not; I don’t have that much money," the Ghost Lady replied. "Those Bomb Ghost Soldiers are condensed using the power of the Life Tower."

"Oh??"

Remembering what the Ghost Lady told him before, Qin Feng realized that the reason why Ling and she, under the circumstance of lacking Spirit Stones, could hold on till now was largely due to using their innate talent power, condensing it in the Life Tower to fight.

It turns out those Ghost Soldier Bombs were actually condensed from her own talent power. Truly powerful!

"By the way, aren’t you going to guard the East Gate?"

The Ghost Lady controlled another soldier to explode at the gate and asked Qin Feng.

"No need, my place is very safe."

With a casual wave of Qin Feng’s hand, the sand table appeared in front of him. Now, under the command of the Golden General, the camp was methodically resisting the enemy’s attack, which looked like another "S" rating.

"Since you don’t need help here, I’ll take a look elsewhere."

Said Qin Feng.

He put away the sand table and planned to leave; halfway out, he turned back and said, "By the way, don’t overstrain yourself; use Spirit Stones when necessary, money isn’t an issue."

After speaking, he headed towards the West Gate where the Ling Guardian was stationed.

The West Gate Camp had also been breached early on.

Ling was on the Life Tower alone, lifting his eyes to observe the battle situation while wildly manipulating the sand table to control his soldiers in fighting the invading enemies.

Qin Feng was astonished upon arrival!

This was the most intense battle he had seen since he got here.

There were still archers on the walls constantly attacking, Defense Towers bombarding the enemies charging in, and those rushing in were rampaging through the camp, attacking various Defense Towers.

Those Defense Towers were not only built inside the city but also paid and constructed by Ling, though not many in number.

Excluding the Defense Towers on the castle walls, the ones he built numbered only twelve, spread along both sides leading to the Life Tower mainland.

As the enemies frantically attacked the Defense Towers, Ling commanded his soldiers in a series of units to go attack the enemies to protect them.

What amazed Qin Feng was that Ling actually knew how to "maneuver"!

The enemy’s frenzy attack path was to destroy the gate, demolish all structures in the camp, including barracks, training camps, Defense Towers, and then attack the Life Tower.

If soldiers attacked them, within a certain distance, they’d choose to attack the enemy, abandoning attacking buildings temporarily.

But if the distance between soldiers and enemies exceeded ten meters, the enemies would turn to attack the Defense Towers again.

Now.

Ling’s operational style was to control multiple small groups of soldiers to attack the enemies. Once aggro was drawn and enemies chose to attack them, they’d start running, maintaining speed so the enemy couldn’t catch up.

Of course, due to the large number of enemies and soldiers, control was extraordinarily complicated.

It required great focus and spiritual power to precisely operate.

Like playing Go, one person against nine others simultaneously, it was extremely exhausting.

Only then did Qin Feng understand why each time after the match, Ling was breathless with exhaustion. His method was too difficult.

He was literally stalling for time using this method.

Each wave of enemy attack surges had a time limit; he didn’t expect to defeat the enemies but aimed to delay them as much as possible before they reached the Life Tower until the attack surge ended, just like the Ghost Lady’s tactic, focusing on delaying time.

Right now, what astonished Qin Feng wasn’t just this.

If it were him, under the circumstances of being short on soldiers and supplies, he’d likely use this method, for he had the skill.

Back in Dragon and Tiger Village, he once played Go with eighteen masters at the same time, and it was blindfolded Go, not looking at the board, relying solely on his mind to remember the moves announced by observers.

Thus, in this regard, he was merely surprised at Ling’s ability to come up with such a method.

What truly shocked him was those soldiers!!

Typically.

The enemy’s speed, especially among the beasts, was much faster than that of the soldiers.

Using this method to draw aggro was simply unrealistic.

But Ling’s soldiers were astonishingly fast, comparable to the beasts among the enemies!

Thus, they could effectively control the distance between soldiers and enemies, thereby minimizing the damage taken while pulling aggro.

Moreover.

What amazed Qin Feng was that not only were these soldiers fast, but their defense was also incredibly high!
