Chapter 130: Forced Kill
With a single command, and under the trigger of Luo Ji’s ‘Inspire Morale’ skill, the already high-spirited shield-axemen unit’s morale instantly soared to its peak.
Maintaining their formation, they charged directly at Zhou Kai and the others, who were cornered!
However, Zhou Kai was not willing to die easily.
A thought quickly flashed through his mind.
“Tear open the encirclement in one go, capture that Luo guy as a hostage, and then force them to open the city gate!”
With a plan now in mind, a fierce glint flashed in Zhou Kai’s eyes.
The grotesque axe in his hand was a deadly slaughtering tool in this kind of outnumbered battle.
Wielding it, he directly met the overwhelming shield-axemen unit with a ferocious offensive!
Luo Ji had originally thought that no matter how fierce Zhou Kai’s individual combat power was, his twenty shield-axemen, stacked on top of each other, would surely be able to hack him to death with their axes.
He hadn’t expected the opponent to be surprisingly resilient.
Players who enjoy strategy games can generally be divided into two types, one type views things from a God’s perspective, rationally utilizing all available resources to maximize benefits and effects.
The other type immerses themselves in a specific role, prefers concentrating resources to cultivate that character, and regards that character as their avatar.
Zhou Kai, as a general-type player, clearly belonged to the latter.
The civilization points he earned from invasion battles were likely almost entirely spent on equipping his own skills.
It had to be said, a character specifically developed with concentrated resources like this indeed possessed astonishing combat power, truly giving off a vibe of fighting against ten.
The twenty shield-axemen actually failed to take him down in a short time, which truly exceeded Luo Ji’s expectations.
However, while Luo Ji was surprised by Zhou Kai’s fierce individual combat power, Zhou Kai was also shocked by the pressure these twenty shield-axemen exerted on him.
It was understandable that the slingers had been providing ranged suppression from behind the city walls, but what was up with this shield-axemen unit in front of him?
That formation, once established, actually managed to block all three of his breakthrough attempts!
This was simply eerie!
However, he didn’t know that, unlike him who leaned towards individual heroism, Luo Ji’s development philosophy had always focused on improving an entire army.
And at this moment, these twenty shield-axemen, even without considering the morale bonus, were covered by the double buffs of ‘Ruler’ and ‘National Defense War.’
Coupled with Luo Yong’s ‘Shield-Axeman Specialization’ skill effect bonus, no matter how outstanding Zhou Kai’s individual combat power was, he couldn’t easily tear through the formation formed by these twenty shield-axemen!
His other half of the troops, who were locked outside, had already started pushing the battering ram to continue ramming the city gate.
However, the sound did not make Zhou Kai happy at all.
That Luo guy on the other side was too quick to eliminate his subordinates, he didn’t even give him a chance to stall for time, and directly took action.
At this point, even he couldn’t help but feel that he had brought this upon himself.
He had only wanted to win back a round, regain some face, and then be done with it.
It wasn’t that he was being foolish, it was just that the Luo guy on the other side was too infuriating, and he just couldn’t swallow that resentment.
Yet, he never imagined that his proud siege force would fall here.
A unit of slingers, which should have been eliminated in other players’ hands, unexpectedly displayed an almost incredible suppressive power when facing his siege force.
He was taught a harsh lesson on the spot…
Just as Zhou Kai was filled with mixed emotions, a sudden whooshing sound reached him.
His ear twitched, and he swung his axe fiercely.
With a loud clang produced by weapons colliding, it instantly met a fiercely shaped one-handed great axe!
“It’s you again!”
The person constantly applying force to his weapon and stalemating him was Luo Yong, clad in shield-axemen gear.
Including this time, the two had already clashed three times, truly a case of sworn enemies meeting with intense hatred!
However, this time, the other guy who also used an axe seemed to be absent.
But Zhou Kai was not careless.
As his thoughts raced, the two had already exchanged several blows.
Continuous head-on attacks actually caused several chips to break off the edge of his axe blade, and his hands that held his weapon tingled slightly
He had already felt it before, this big guy’s strength was almost excessive!
How lucky was that Luo guy?
Including the other fellow who also used an axe, there were actually two fierce generals in his tribe?!
No!
As Zhou Kai’s gaze swept over Guo Zhen, who stood beside Luo Ji like a personal bodyguard, his facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.
It was three fierce generals!
And the last one, he was the one who had inadvertently brought him to Luo Ji!
Damn it! So infuriating!
The chaotic thoughts in his mind led to a momentary lapse.
Luo Yong seized the opportunity, his offensive suddenly erupting.
He immediately unleashed a deadly killing blow, his one-handed great axe slashing directly towards Zhou Kai’s head.
If this axe landed, it wouldn’t just be a split skull.
With this big guy’s strength, his entire head would probably explode like a watermelon!
At the critical moment, Zhou Kai forcibly controlled his body to change his movement, watching the one-handed great axe scrape past his very eyes.
The instant peril soaked his entire back with cold sweat, and he repeatedly reminded himself to concentrate and absolutely not get distracted again!
While these two fought fiercely, Luo Ji, in the rear, wasn’t worried that Luo Yong would suffer any disadvantages.
After a period of training and coordination, Luo Yong, as the commander of the shield-axemen unit, had already melded with his subordinate troops into a unified whole.
The current battle, which appeared to be a one-on-one duel between Luo Yong and Zhou Kai, was actually a situation where Luo Yong’s every move was being supported and covered by the surrounding shield-axemen.
In comparison, Guo Zhen lacked this tacit understanding.
Letting him join the battle circle recklessly would only disrupt their already seamless coordination.
Therefore, in this battle, Guo Zhen could only stand by Luo Ji, serving as a bodyguard.
“Guo Zhen, what level of strength do you think Luo Yong has reached now?”
“Does he have a chance against Zhou Kai?”
Compared to his initial state, Luo Yong’s strength had undoubtedly grown, but from his stats panel, his bravery level was still 3-stars.
It was truly not easy to advance to 4-stars.
Of course, Luo Ji also knew that even at the same 3-star level, there were differences in strength.
It was like scores on an exam, 90 points were excellent, and 99 points were also excellent, but who could say these two scores were exactly the same?
Although Guo Zhen was feeling down about not being able to join the battle, upon hearing Luo Ji’s question, he still earnestly replied.
“I’ve fought both of them, but as it stands, Luo Yong won’t be a match for that Zhou Kai.”
