Chapter 48: As Long as the Ant Swarm Does Not Stop…
At the same time.
“Crap!!”
“Squeak!”
With a cry, the Military Ants attacking the Goblin Wizard screamed and retreated.
When they stepped back, Lin Yu finally saw a shield made of flames around the Goblin Wizard’s body. The Military Ants that touched the shield suffered continuous burning damage.
Two Military Ants were set on fire; they rolled frantically on the grass to extinguish the flames, but by then, nearly a third of their Health Value had already been burned away.
It was the skill “Fire Shield.”
The Goblin Wizard can cast magic even without that staff.
However, Lin Yu noticed that after losing the staff, its intelligence dropped by 1 point; otherwise, the Military Ants would have dealt even more damage.
But the Goblin Wizard in front of her looked even more miserable.
It did not use the skill “Fire Shield” right away, so it had wounds all over its body from being bitten by the Military Ants.
Its body was covered in blood and flesh; the lower part of its left forearm had been bitten off, its leg tendons chewed through, and a piece of green skin was torn from its face, exposing the blood and pale bones beneath.
The current Health Value of this Goblin Wizard is: 120/300, and its status is, “Bleeding,” “Disabled.”
“Gah ba!!” (Die!)
The goblin trembled as it raised its right hand, causing the air in front of it to twist and the temperature to rise sharply. In less than a breath, a fireball the size of a fist suddenly appeared before it.
The fireball shot out as soon as it formed.
The speed only needs to be a little slower than that of a flying arrow.
Because it was not quick enough and the distance was too close, a Military Ant was hit directly.
As the fireball struck her, it exploded!
The Military Ant that was hit had its Health Value drop to zero, and at the same time, the fireball exploded, splattering several fiery sparks onto nearby Military Ants, instantly setting them on fire as well.
Putting out the flames cost them almost one-third of their Health Value.
The goblin did not seem to feel any hatred; the pain seemed to burn away its reasoning with its rage.
It raised its right hand again toward the Military Ants.
Seeing the Goblin Wizard about to unleash another fireball, Lin Yu quickly signaled the Military Ants to spread out and retreat.
With the distance widened, the fireball was indeed not as easy to hit the Military Ants.
After seeing the other person lose control and wildly cast spells, Lin Yu planned to let the ant army attack only after the Goblin Wizard’s Magic Value was completely used up.
…
On the other side.
The Goblin King is indeed very strong. With a boost of 17 in strength, no ant could withstand his single attack.
Moreover, because of the 2 points of Physical Resistance Ability from the armor, the Military Ants also find it very hard to deal damage to him.
If the Military Ants had a ‘Leadership’ effect, those with a strength of four or five points should be able to break through the armor’s defenses and inflict damage.
But the key point is that, considering the current remaining Magic Value, the ‘Leadership’ effect can only last for about thirty seconds.
Can thirty seconds defeat this guy?
The answer is no.
After several observations, Lin Yu guessed what abilities the Goblin King had.
“Attack Enhancement,” “Defense Enhancement,” and “Greatly Attack Enhancement” are skills that passively increase strength and physical resistance.
“Bite” and “Slash” mean exactly what they say.
‘Sword Talent’ is a skill that enables the Goblin King to expertly wield a sword, allowing him to almost block every attack from the Military Ants with his longsword.
‘Cathexis’ appears to be a skill that enhances the Goblin King’s focus, enabling him to perceive nearly every attack and ambush from the Military Ants.
‘Intimidation’ is the skill Lin Yu fears the most. It induces a state of ‘fear’ in the target, temporarily paralyzing their ability to act. This skill was the reason the two Military Ants were easily killed.
No weaknesses…
How can I deal with this guy with the least losses?
While Lin Yu was deep in thought, the goblins on the battlefield finally realized that their tribe’s wizard and leader were surrounded by the ant swarm. Some of them abandoned their fight with the Weak Ants and Military Ants, rushing toward the back.
The Big Goblin and the Goblin Warrior were entangled by the Military Ants, so they couldn’t break free.
Lin Yu had already anticipated this situation, so after attacking, there were not only one hundred Military Ants but also two hundred Weak Ants in the ant swarm from behind.
The Weak Ants were sent together with the Military Ants to handle this kind of situation.
The Military Ants launched the attack, while the Weak Ants provided cover for them.
After all, the Weak Ants were relatively weak, so they could only deal with those equally weak goblins… right?
Hmm…
Wait… if we want to solve the Goblin King with the least losses…
Perhaps…
…
……
The plan is to charge at the Goblin King like a team of brave ants to wear down his magic and strength. When his magic is gone and he starts to grow weak, we will attack.
There is no other way; it must be done this way.
To survive in this world, the ant colony must grow. Sadly, some friends will die along the way.
In war, many ants will fall.
But brave ones, your efforts are not in vain! Even in the future, as long as the ant colony keeps moving, the path ahead will keep stretching… Your heroic images will forever live in our hearts! So—
Go, defeat this creature!
The weak ants charged forward one after another.
Under Lin Yu’s command, they tried their best to dodge the Goblin King’s attacks.
However, due to the vast difference in levels, such attempts are nearly futile. The Goblin King seems to have eyes all over his body; as soon as the Weak Ants make their move, he swings his sword, effortlessly claiming a life.
Although the Weak Ants are very fragile, the Goblin King still retains the skill ‘Cathexis.’ If too many Weak Ants charge in, he will use his ‘Intimidate’ skill.
Since they do not know the level and strength of the Weak Ants, did they treat them like the Military Ants from before?
This guy isn’t very smart either.
…
As time goes on.
Whether it is the Goblin Wizard or the Goblin King, their Magic Value has been completely used up.
Therefore, the Goblin Wizard was swiftly bitten by the Military Ants, who severed his arms and legs, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.
Although the Goblin King has no Magic Value left, his strength remains intact; a single strike from him could easily injure or even kill the Military Ants.
But Lin Yu gave the Military Ants a “Leadership” effect.
With the ‘Leadership’ effect and the Goblin King’s movements growing slower and weaker, the Military Ants were able to withstand the enemy’s attacks.
They mainly attacked the parts of the armor that were very rusty, as well as the Goblin King’s head, which was exposed outside the armor.
After several rounds of attacks, the rusty parts of the armor were broken, and the Goblin King’s head was injured.
After a few more rounds of attacks, the Goblin King was heavily injured and knocked down by the swarm of ants. Weak and struggling, he could not escape the Military Ants’ grip.
