Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, as well as most of the summoned creatures, were all damage dealers. It was not hard to imagine how effective high-armor enemies were against them.
Moreover, Nazir was not a pure tank with high defense and low attack. His defense was high, but his damage output was even higher! 72 points of Strength was no joke. No one could ignore that ferocious-looking giant hammer.
The good news was that a portion of the city guards had already rushed to the city gate under Nazir's orders. They were trying to take back control of the city gate and prevent the resistance army from entering the city. Nazir did not have many soldiers around him.
The skeleton swordsmen formed a shield wall and focused on defense. Under Bai Xiaowen's instructions, Li Shuyi gave up on attacking Nazir and turned to help the skeleton swordsmen to fill in the gaps. They searched for elite Imperial Army officers and killed them.
"There doesn't seem to be any spellcasters."
Bai Xiaowen's mind scanned the battlefield. He muttered to himself and released the Evil Ghost.
The Evil Ghost raised its hand and aimed at Nazir. It cast the Enmity skill! There was no doubt that the judgment was successful. A thin blue line that was invisible to outsiders was connected to the Evil Ghost and the commander of the Imperial Army, Nazir. Waves of mind power were sucked away.
"Damn you, evil monster!"
Nazir shuddered. He did not recognize the Evil Ghost. He roared and swung his hammer, but it only hit air.
After this swing, Nazir came to his senses and locked onto the summoner, Bai Xiaowen. He strode forward and swung his hammer.
Bai Xiaowen retreated. The gun in his hand was in continuous firing mode, and he kept shooting.
The blood-colored heavy armor on Nazir's body was indeed very high. However, Bai Xiaowen's penetrating bullets would appear every four shots, which ignored the armor. In addition, the Bloodstone's Desire for Slaughter would occasionally trigger, and the True Damage would ignore the armor! Therefore, Bai Xiaowen's damage output was still partially effective.
The Necromancer was also summoned. Its Thunder Strike was a pure magic attack. No matter how high the armor was, it was useless.
It was worth mentioning that other than delaying Nazir's movements, the Butcher also had a significant effect on the damage output. Its Rotten Poison damage was increased by 50%. Poison damage was also a type of magic damage, so it was not reduced by armor.
What was even more powerful was the other passive of the Butcher's three-piece set. Enemies who were poisoned would have their armor and magic resistance reduced by 50%!
In the beginning, when the Butcher had not released the rotting poison fog, Nazir's armor was over 100 points, and physical attacks had little effect. After being affected by the Butcher's effects, Nazir's armor, it was reduced to only 50 to 60 points!
According to the formula of armor damage reduction, Bai Xiaowen's Level 6 party would be able to reduce the physical damage of an enemy with 50 points of armor by 60% by including the reduction of the Lionheart's War Flag.
Although his damage reduction ratio was still very high, at least the Shadow Assassins, Skeleton Warriors, and other creatures were able to hurt him.
Under the pain, Nazir roared angrily, and his body suddenly spun!
Bai Xiaowen, who had the insight, ordered the summoned creatures to retreat together. Nazir's battle skill, Giant Hammer Sweep, only hit the Butcher.
The Butcher's HP was reduced by a lot, and it was also successfully inflicted with the Armor Break effect.
However, Nazir's follow-up attacks still did not deal much damage to the Butcher. This was because the Butcher's damage reduction ability was mostly due to the three-piece set effect. Secondly, it was the + 6 effect of the armor, which was a fixed percentage damage reduction! Armor was useful for the Butcher, but in the damage reduction system, it was not the most important.
After using this skill, Nazir's MP was quickly depleted. Finally, he could not withstand the Evil Ghost's Grudge Extraction. His MP fell below 2 points, and he fell into a stun state. In theory, the stun state lasted for a full seven seconds! Even with the general Toughness bonus of "Oath of the Lionheart Empire LV2," which reduced the duration of the control effect by 40%, there was still a stun state of 4.2 seconds.
During this precious 4.2 seconds, Bai Xiaowen and the summoned creatures focused their attacks. Nazir's HP dropped rapidly. When he woke up from the stun state, he had only one-third of his HP left.
Originally, Nazir was a Boss that became more and more resistant. One-third of his HP meant that he had 150 points of Armor! However, under the influence of the Butcher's Rotting Poison, his Armor was halved to 75 points. Although it was not as brittle as paper, it was at least weakened from the original titanium alloy steel plate to a wooden plank.
After waking up, Nazir also lost the ability to turn the tables. His MP had been depleted, and he could not use any skills. He could only swing his giant hammer and use normal attacks.
If Bai Xiaowen controlled the summoned creatures to fight, the damage would be minimized, but the time would be extended accordingly. Now that they were in the enemy's camp, time was precious. Bai Xiaowen let the Butcher take the lead and lead the summoned creatures to attack with all their might.
The Butcher's Giant Snake Scepter only defended and did not attack. It mainly blocked and parried to reduce the opponent's damage. After all, the damage output was Rotting Poison.
With Bai Xiaowen's current Level 2 (Strongest Academic Genius Bonus) polearm weapon specialty, it was still difficult for him to parry Nazir's attacks. Fortunately, both sides were using heavy weapons that were larger in size, which increased the possibility of parrying the attacks.
When the Butcher's HP was more than half, Nazir's last sliver of HP finally reached zero. His heavy body fell to the ground with a thud. A dazzling golden treasure chest materialized in the air.
Bai Xiaowen reached out and picked up the treasure chest.
The surrounding Imperial Army soldiers panicked. Other than a few brave soldiers who persisted in the battle, many of the Imperial soldiers involuntarily began to retreat in the face of the ferocious Butcher.
Bai Xiaowen did not turn off Rapid Fire mode. He aimed his gun at the stubborn Imperial Army soldiers and began to clean up.
Li Shuyi's sword flashed, and his body flickered like a ghost. Every strike of his sword pierced the throat of an Imperial Army soldier, killing them instantly with a Vital Hit!
Previously, because the Lionheart Battle Flag reduced the damage of the Imperial Army soldiers, Li Shuyi's attacks could not reach one-third of their HP even though they could hit their vital points! Usually, he would need two more strikes to kill an enemy.
Now that Nazir had fallen, Li Shuyi's single-target attack met the requirements, and his killing efficiency increased greatly.
The Butcher had lost half of his HP, but under the passive effect of Slaughterhouse, his HP was slowly recovering. Every time an Imperial Army soldier died, the Butcher would recover about 10 HP. When Bai Xiaowen and the rest killed the enemies, the Butcher's HP had recovered to about 75% of his health.
"Let's go to the city gate."
If Bai Xiaowen had been greedy, he could have gone directly to the Court of Justice or the North Palace and continued to kill the leader. With the current state of the team, it was completely possible. However, Bai Xiaowen still chose to play dirty and meet up with the Resistance Army first. Until now, he had not summoned the Wrath Claw, so it was necessary to leave some cards up his sleeve.
The Butcher took the lead, and Li Shuyi and the summoned creatures followed closely behind. The Imperial Army soldiers were invincible, and they all turned into flesh and blood for the Butcher, replenishing his HP.
Bai Xiaowen opened the treasure chest directly. Anyway, spiritual creatures could not see the treasure chest, and they could only see that Bai Xiaowen's actions were a little strange. In this chaotic battlefield, no one would notice this.
The patrol leader, Massa, had a B-level combat rating and dropped a patrol token, which could be exchanged for 1,000 achievement points. He also dropped a Gold equipment, which was a fine leather helmet that he was wearing.
Seeing the bindings, Bai Xiaowen shook his head slightly. Taking a closer look, the fine leather helmet added 3 points to Agility and 2 points to Constitution. It did not have any special skills, so it could only be considered a standard Gold equipment.
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi's current headgear were not bad. For example, although Li Shuyi's "Ghost Mist Veil" increased his Spirit, the passive skill "Meditation" restored one point of Spirit every minute. It made up for Li Shuyi's lack of Spirit and greatly increased his endurance. No matter what, he would not change it.
The treasure chest of the city guard commander, Nazir, had an A-level combat rating. Although he and Massa were both Level 7, his attributes were very strong and he was considered a rare leader. With the additional special skill of the Lionheart Battle Flag, it was not surprising that he had an A-level combat rating.
Bai Xiaowen's first draw was the Lionheart Battle Flag. With a flash of golden light, he directly drew the Lionheart Battle Flag.
[Lionheart Battle Flag: S-level item. Erect a battle flag on the spot after use. Within a large radius (1,500 meters), all allies' attack power is increased by 15% and damage received is reduced by 15%. Lasts until the battle flag's durability reaches zero. The Lionheart Battle Flag has 300 points of durability. Durability will automatically decrease by 1 point every hour. Armor and magic resistance will be zero by default. Current usage: 1/1. Disappears after use.]
"Finally, I'm handsome." Bai Xiaowen blew on his hand and laughed in his heart. This S-level item, the Lionheart Battle Flag, was very useful when used well. It was much better than a simple Gold equipment.
However, this draw seemed to have used up all of Bai Xiaowen's good luck. In Bai Xiaowen's following two draws, apart from the 'City Guard Commander's Token' which could be exchanged for 2,000 Achievement Points, he also drew a red linen shirt (ETC) …
This red linen shirt seemed to have a trace of … sweat smell? Bai Xiaowen was speechless. He could only pinch his nose and decompose it. He received 50 points of Mana.
"How is it? Is this Nazir qualified? "Li Shuyi asked quietly.
Bai Xiaowen knew that Li Shuyi was referring to the main mission, "The Return of the Brave." He needed to kill a B-level reputation leader as proof of his return. He glanced at the mission and shook his head. "I didn't receive any notification. It seems that this guy is not qualified."
"Oh my god …" Li Shuyi shook his head and sighed. "I guess the only way is to kill Lord Glantis in the North Palace."
The two of them chatted in the team channel. They did not stop fighting. Soon, a bloody path was carved out and they went straight to the city gate.
The 600-man resistance army led by Grima was indeed the elites selected by the Usok. Before Bai Xiaowen reached the city gate, they had all entered the city and met up with Bai Xiaowen.
"Brother Dior, what's the situation in the city now?" Grima asked loudly. "I heard from Auland that you found the commander of the Imperial Army!"
"I killed him!" Bai Xiaowen showed the "City Guard Commander's Token" and said loudly, "The great God of War, Ista, is watching us. The Vikings are unstoppable!"
This sentence undoubtedly raised the morale of the soldiers. The Viking resistance army following behind the two of them raised their weapons and roared.
"Even if you practice necromancy, you are still a true Viking warrior!" Grima was overjoyed. The death of the enemy commander increased the chances of the resistance army taking over the city by at least 30%! He immediately gave the order, and the whole army set off for the North Palace. As long as they occupied the North Palace, they could declare that they had occupied the North County.
Bai Xiaowen stopped Grima. "During the battle, I received the help of many Viking brothers. If these volunteers can be organized and given weapons, they will definitely be a powerful force!"
Grima agreed. "Brother Dior is still the most thoughtful."
A resistance army general said, "We don't have any spare weapons to give them."
Grima laughed loudly. "Look at our enemies, those Imperial dogs. What are they holding in their hands? Even if these cowardly imperial soldiers wield swords, they are no more than sheep with horns. Our Viking warriors can disarm them with our bare hands! "
Greem bent his knees and leaped onto the roof of a building, "My Viking brothers! The glorious moment of liberating the North County has arrived. Join us and accept the guidance of the Usok! Pick up your weapons and settle the crimes of the Imperial dogs! If you don't have weapons, go and steal the enemy's weapons! Under the watch of the great God of War, Ista, we are invincible! "
Grima's voice was like thunder, and the Viking civilians all responded.
Bai Xiaowen curled his lips. Grima was indeed the Usok's chief of internal affairs. His ability to stir up people's hearts was quite similar to the Usok's. It made sense. If Grima was mediocre and incompetent, the Usok would not have handed over such a crucial battle like the surprise attack on the North County to him.
Grima jumped off the roof and led the army all the way to the north of the street. The Imperial Army soldiers along the way could only disperse and resist under the orders of some middle and low-level officers. Without a unified command, they were just a bunch of scattered sand. Under the assault of the elite resistance army, they were easily defeated.
Along the way, Viking civilians constantly picked up weapons and turned into volunteers, following in the footsteps of the resistance army to participate in the battle. The snowball rolled bigger and bigger.
However, in the Court of Justice in the center of the North County City, the resistance army was obstructed.
Judge Costello led twenty court guards to guard the Gate of Justice. Behind him, there was also the support of Judge Hurd's divine spells. The resistance army left behind a dozen corpses, but they were unable to charge in.
Costello was a leader profession similar to the Knights of Divine Grace, while Judge Hurd was a priest of the Lord of Light who was good at commanding divine spells. The two complemented each other and were more difficult to deal with than the usual leader combination.
"Don't worry about them. Charge directly into the North Palace and capture the fake Lord Glendis alive!" A resistance army general suggested in a low voice.
"No, this is the center of the city, an important city area second only to the North Palace and the barracks. We must take it down!" Grima said loudly.
