"Miniature Ballistas?! Are they trying to … "
When everyone saw the Miniature Ballistas Shi Feng took out one after another, they couldn't help but gape at the possibility.
The Miniature Ballistas were war weapons. The various large Guilds treated them like treasures. They were only used in Guild wars or siege battles.
Yet, the Ling YI Society was using such precious war weapons to grind monsters …
If other Guilds found out about the Guild's extravagant grinding method, they'd most likely devour them alive.
"Guild Leader, isn't this a little too wasteful?" Shiuse Qiangwei was astonished when he saw the Miniature Ballistas.
While the others in the Guild might not know how the Miniature Ballistas had come to be, she did.
Although these Miniature Ballistas were manufactured, the production cost of each one was not cheap. Just the materials alone cost over 100 Gold. Even with a Master Engineer like Burning Abyss and a Basic Meditation Room, due to the low success rate, the production cost of each Miniature Ballista was still around 500 to 600 Gold. As for the Exploding Arrows, they were not cheap, either. Each arrow cost around 3 Silver.
Setting aside the fact that these Miniature Ballistas could be destroyed in battle, just using them would decrease their durability. Repairing them would cost a fortune. Using these Miniature Ballistas to help Guild members level up was simply a waste of money.
"Don't mind such trivial matters. Resources are meant to be used. Rather than storing them in the Warehouse, it's better to use them to improve our Guild members' strength. The stronger our Guild members are, the more resources the Guild can obtain. It's not a waste," Shifeng said, chuckling nonchalantly. "Alright, have your people start assembling them."
Back when he had been Shadow's Guild Leader, he had also provided war weapons to the Guild. After all, the more they were used, the less they would be used. Now, however, things were different. Since he could produce these weapons, there was no need to store them in the Warehouse.
Now that everyone had reached Level 40, Shiuse Qiangwei, Ke Le, Jian Ying, Turtledove, Violet Cloud, Hei Zi, and Alluring Summer were close to reaching Level 50. The sooner they reached Level 50, the sooner they could begin their Tier 2 Promotion Quests.
Once they completed their Tier 2 Promotion Quests, they would be far more useful to the Guild than these Miniature Ballistas.
When everyone heard the Shifeng's words, they were moved beyond words.
The higher ups of other guilds could not wait to squeeze the value out of their members, but Shifeng, the guild leader, was willing to use the precious resources of the guild to help them level up.
Not long after, small ballistas were lined up at the foot of the dilapidated city walls. There were a total of 50 ballistas, which were more than enough to siege a city.
In the next moment, the Shifeng took out the Bible of Darkness and chanted an incantation, summoning a Demon.
In the past, Shi Feng had only been a Tier 1 Swordsman. Now that he had been promoted to a Tier 2 Sword Master, he could summon a Tier 3 Demon through Demon Summoning.
Following the appearance of the huge Demon Gate, a seven-meter-tall Demon with two crimson horns and an emerald flaming spear in his hand walked out.
[Purgatory Demon] (Dark Creature, Demon) Level 64 HP 24,000,000/24,000,000
"As expected of the Guild Leader. He actually has a tool that can summon a Tier 3 Demon. I'm afraid Summoners will die of envy." When Ling Yi and the others saw Shifeng summon a Tier 3 Purgatory Demon, their reverence for Shifeng grew.
Tier 3 Summoning Scrolls were treasures that the various large Guilds used as trump cards. They were items that could not be bought with money.
Meanwhile, they could see that Shifeng had not summoned the Tier 3 Summoning Scroll. Instead, he had used the Bible of Darkness to summon the Demon. They had never even heard of such a precious tool.
Tools were different from Magic Scrolls. Magic Scrolls were single-use Consumables. However, tools could be used multiple times. Hence, tools of the same level were worth dozens of times more than Magic Scrolls.
"In a moment, the Purgatory Demon will attract the Orcs' attention! Healers, focus on healing the Purgatory Demon! Everyone else, control the Miniature Ballistas and prioritize killing the Orc Captains! MTs, protect the Miniature Ballistas!" Shifeng commanded when he saw that everyone was more or less ready.
Without the Magic Towers' Attribute buffs and the town's Level Debuff, attacking the Orcs would be like scratching an itch. The only thing that could deal significant damage to the Orcs was the Miniature Ballistas.
Otherwise, Shi Feng wouldn't have dared to bring his team here.
The Purgatory Demon flapped its wings and appeared above the ramparts in the blink of an eye. It then used the Tier 3 Skill, Flame Rain. Among the Purgatory Demon's three Tier 3 Skills, this was the Skill with the widest AOE. Although it was not particularly effective against monsters, it was more than enough to attract the Orcs' aggro.
A rain of flames fell within a 100-yard radius. When the flames struck the Orc Sentinels, they only dealt around -20,000 damage. As for the Orc Captains, they only received -10,000 damage. To the Orc Captains, which had 78,000,000 HP, this damage was negligible.
Immediately, the Orc Sentinels and Orc Captains on the ramparts raised their bows and began attacking the Purgatory Demon.
"Ready! Fire!" Shifeng commanded.
Immediately, the 50 Miniature Ballistas, which were 500 yards away, fired their Exploding Arrows simultaneously. At this distance, not only could they absorb EXP, but even the Tier 3 Great Lords would have a hard time dodging the arrows.
Xiu … Xiu … Xiu …
Xiu … Xiu … Xiu … Xiu … Xiu … Xiu … Xiu … Xiu … Xiu … Xiu …
A series of damages of over -160,000 appeared above the Orc Captains' heads.
In the blink of an eye, the Orc Captains' HP fell to over 8,000,000. In the blink of an eye, the Orc Captains had lost nearly 10% of their HP. Moreover, due to the penetrative damage from the war weapons, the Orc Captains had sustained significant injuries, and their combat power had decreased significantly.
Although the Orc Captains' attacks were very effective, the cost of the arrows alone was 1 Gold, 50 Silver. That was more than two or three days' worth of income for an expert player.
As for the Orc Captains, Shifeng controlled the Purgatory Demon to use its Tier 3 single-target Skill, Violent Assault, dealing over -400,000 damage, instantly pulling the Orc Captains' aggro back. As for the Orc Captains' attacks, the Purgatory Demon could easily dodge over 90% of them. Even if the Orc Captains' attacks landed, the Purgatory Demon still had several dozen healers nearby to heal it.
With these healers, the Purgatory Demon's HP remained above a safe threshold.
Under wave after wave of Exploding Arrows, the first Orc Captains fell from the ramparts very quickly.
A Level 77 Great Lord already provided a frightening amount of EXP. Now that the Orc Captains were fighting a monster of a higher level, even if they split the EXP among themselves, everyone's experience bars visibly increased.
"What a lot of EXP!"
"This is awesome! Even after grinding for dozens of minutes, I only gained so much EXP!"
…
Everyone was ecstatic. Normally, they'd have to spend a long time killing a Tier 3 Great Lord of the same level, yet they'd slain a Level 77 Great Lord in less than 30 seconds.
Moreover, after the Orc Captains died, they dropped several items. However, as they were still in the middle of the battle, nobody rushed forward to pick up the loot.
After killing the first Orc Captains, everyone turned their attention to the other Orc Captains.
Just like that, the team killed one Orc Captain after another.
