Chapter 79

In the darkness, the cloud of insects emitted a tremendous roar, surging towards the Flying Ship. The sailors and jungle hunters on the deck of the Flying Ship hurriedly ran into the cabin corridor.

For a moment, it was like a thousand troops crossing a narrow bridge, with a crowd jamming the cabin entrance.

"Damn!" Da Fei cursed loudly, and could only command dozens of hunters to turn back and shoot. Another wave of golden light descended from the sky.

— System Notice: Your deputy hero Serbia has cast the Master-level Light Magic "Strengthening Power" on the troops, increasing their defense by +15.

The insect swarm arrived in an instant, and the crowded crowd was engulfed in the insect swarm.

— System Notice: Your deputy hero Serbia has cast the Master-level Light Magic "Vitality Regeneration" on the troops, restoring 15% of their health every 10 seconds.

Da Fei skewered a small insect with a single shot and exclaimed, "Serbia, get into the cabin quickly!" The current situation could only be hoped that these weak insects wouldn't be able to gnaw through his troops.

— System Notice: One of your jungle hunters has been killed by an elite magic insect!

Da Fei was suddenly startled! There were indeed elite units!

— System Notice: One of your jungle hunters has been killed by an elite magic insect!

Another one died! Da Fei's heart was bleeding!

Finally, all the troops entered the cabin, and Da Fei, the last one to enter, immediately turned around and closed the cabin door. The troops in the corridor began to kill the beetles that had pursued them into the corridor. Outside the cabin, the beetle swarm bombarded the cabin door and hull like hail, making a deafening thud!

What the hell! Ships and city walls are system-defaulted as building attributes, and units with building attributes have extra defense against light weapons. Therefore, enemies usually do not attack buildings. This situation can only mean one thing: the enemy commander has used a strong attack order!

Then, take out the commander! Da Fei shouted, "Fire the cannons! Don't stop!"

— Boom! Boom! Another two rows of crossbow arrows whistled out, and the flesh mountain, like a blood bag pierced with countless holes, spurted out a hundred streams of blood!

A skilled gunner sailor has 10 attack and 10 defense, a total of 20 attribute points. The crossbow, with a 20 attack attribute due to the Advanced War Machine skill, has a base damage of 5-6, and a total damage of 100-120. With a 100% damage increase, it becomes 200-240. With the Master Crossbow skill, firing two shots, it becomes 400-480. I don't need to calculate my own crossbow damage, but the total damage of the other 15 gunners in one turn is 6000-7200!

Such high total damage would definitely one-shot a regular boss. No matter how thick the defense of this flesh mountain is, even if it can reduce 90% of the damage with hundreds of defense points, it can't withstand several rounds of bombardment!

(Note: When attack is lower than defense, final damage = base damage ÷ (1 + (attack - defense) x 5%). According to this formula, a 20-point attack-defense difference reduces damage by 50%; a 200-point difference reduces damage by 91%; a 500-point difference reduces damage by 96.2%. Only steel walls can reach 500 defense points, while large ships generally have 100-200 defense points.)

Finally, under another round of crossbow fire, the huge flesh mountain let out a惨叫 and collapsed with a thunderous crash. The collapsing flesh fell into the Pool of Light, emitting a hissing, scalding white smoke, as if it had fallen into a pool of strong acid, causing the entire water area to boil.

— System Notice: You have destroyed the magic insect nest, gaining +100,000 experience!

— System Notice: You have further collected and perfected information about the magic insect nest.

At this moment, the insect swarm lost its commander, and the beetles stopped ramming the ship. After hovering outside the cabin for a moment, they flew back to the roots and continued their work.

Da Fei finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Now, let's take stock of the losses. The ship's durability, which had been gnawed by the insect swarm like an elephant by ants, had dropped by more than 300, leaving only 1324. Seven jungle hunters were lost when they blocked the door. For the expensive and scarce elven troops, this was indeed a heavy loss. But it didn't matter; my little treasure's Master-level Light Magic would definitely revive them.

Da Fei found Serbia, who looked exhausted, her white nun's robe stained. Da Fei exclaimed, "Are you badly hurt?"

Serbia shook her head and sighed, "I'm not badly hurt, but my mana is gone, and I can't revive the fallen soldiers."

In the game, corpses cannot be left overnight; if they are, even the gods can't save them. However, compared to a few soldiers, the hero's condition is the most important.

Da Fei hurriedly said, "It's okay, go rest and sleep!"

Serbia sighed, "I'm sorry, my cultivation is not enough."

Da Fei patted her small shoulder, "It was my mistake in command. Anyway, rest and recover your mana to prepare for the next battle."

"Okay, I will do my best tomorrow."

In the game, Light Magic support spells and Dark Magic curse spells can affect the entire army. The more troops affected, the more mana consumed. The specific calculation between the number of troops and mana consumption involves very complicated logarithmic functions, but players just need to know that the more mana, the better. Today, Serbia cast three group spells in succession, especially the extremely mana-consuming healing spell "Vitality Regeneration." Her 200 mana points from 20 knowledge points were indeed not enough.

Generally, a cleric-type hero will only cast two or three major spells in a large battle. A single major spell can often change the tide of battle, such as the "Righteous Power" which increases attack by +15, meaning a 75% increase in troop damage, equivalent to an additional Master-level offensive skill. The remaining mana is reserved for resurrection. Therefore, knowledge is always the primary attribute for clerics. However, magic power is also important, as it affects the duration of spells and the number of troops that can be resurrected. Therefore, clerics never add points to attack or defense.

After sending the little treasure to the rest room, Da Fei couldn't help but sigh. This is not how battles should be fought.

The first battle was a loss, so in the next battle, he wouldn't send troops to the deck, but the ship couldn't withstand it! One battle and the ship's durability dropped by 300. How many more battles could he fight? There were clearly dozens of sea insect nests in this vast area.

Speaking of which, this epic quest is so amazing that a few shots from my large ship and cannons could easily destroy the tens of thousands of health points of the insect nest. If another player received this quest, how would they fight it? This quest can't be specifically designed for players with large ships, right? How could a player at level 30 have a large ship?

It seems that epic quests are not so simple and can't be crushed by good equipment alone. Just like Makar's epic quest, it must be solved through strategy. This quest must have a trick!

While he was thinking, the flesh mountains on the roots all corroded and collapsed. In the rising white mist, a large elven building, enveloped by the flesh mountains, was revealed.

Da Fei's eyebrows twitched. That was— the building for recruiting level 0 elven troops, the Flower Sprites!
