Chapter 616: Change of Conditions
"Originally, everything was going well, behind the solid walls of the fortress, those trebuchets could not play any lethal role at all, but for some reason, the power of the other party's trebuchets suddenly increased a lot, not only collapsed the outer wall of the fortress, so that the fish-man troops lost their cover, but also appeared new mechanical troops, with the trebuchet troops to encircle and suppress us. Since then, my troops have been at a disadvantage. Koco said aggrievedly. In his opinion, the tactics he had adopted were simply impeccable, and he blamed the Fish-Man troops for their hard fighting on the sudden strength of the enemy.
"The enemy has suddenly become stronger, and when did you find out?" Alfie asked.
"About an hour ago. Koko recalled. Even though the enemy suddenly became stronger, the fish-man troops under his command put up a very stubborn resistance under his leadership and did not crush.
"An hour ago? Then it shouldn't be our reason. Alfie glanced at the others, he had just come out of Barnett's memories an hour ago, and the light gate leading to this level had not yet appeared, so it was definitely not them who caused the change in the strength of the mechanical troops.
"Elfie, do you think this could be the commander of the meching unit into luring the enemy deeper?" Rebecca heard something suspicious in Koco's story.
"Then it depends on how Mr. Kenobi set up this level in the first place?" Alfie asked, staring at the old dwarf, and Barnett was undoubtedly the most vocal in this matter.
"Little Fishman, what strength do you have now?" Barnett asked after taking a sip of wine.
"Probably level twelve. Coco said modestly, in fact, he was now at the peak of the twelfth level.
"Twelve! How many of us can reach this level?" Barnett shouted, waving his bottle.
"You mean that's how Mr. Kenobi set it up in the first place?," Alfie instantly understood Barnett's subtext.
"The person being tested is the strength of the twelfth level, which is almost the highest difficulty. Is this the only level of the real game that Mr. Kenobi has carefully set up?Can he easily capture the fort and the tidal flats?" Barnett took a deep breath, "I'm afraid Mr. Kenobi had the idea of luring the enemy deeper from the beginning of the setup of this level. After all, it was a fish-man who was put to the test this time! If these fish-men were not lured to the tidal flats, the mechanical troops would probably have no good way to take these fish-men. After all, for the fishmen, the big river, which should have been the biggest problem for those who have been tested, is their best cover!"
That's right! Alfie nodded secretly, Barnett's words actually revealed a lot of valuable content, the real game really won't be that simple, so after they join the test halfway, how will the conditions for passing the test change? It's also exciting to think about.
Judging from the situation of Koko's test, the real game will undoubtedly make a targeted arrangement for the tester, but it will also give some favorable conditions according to the characteristics of the tested. For example, this big river is suitable for fish-people to play.
As a halfway joiner, they can be said to have a little bit of a advantage, that is, the terrain has been determined, and they can use this to make some articles. However, according to Kenobi's personality, I'm afraid that the conditions for passing the level will definitely become extremely harsh.
"Koco, where can you see the conditions for clearance?" Alfie asked.
"Look here. Koko pulled out a piece of parchment, and the lines of large letters on it shone brightly.
"It's the same trick. Alfie smiled, he was too familiar with the way Kenobi left messages.
"Hey, the conditions for passing through this have changed. Koko exclaimed as he looked at the parchment in his hand.
"What are the requirements for passing the level now?" Alfie asked, unsurprisingly.
"Condition 1: Hold the fortress, Condition 2: Capture the headquarters of the Mechan Legion, Condition 3: The death rate of the Fish-Man troops must not exceed 6......0 percent," Koko read the changed conditions on the parchment, and his face became more and more ugly.
"Death rate, why is there such a thing as a passing criterion?" Zambit was the first to jump out and question.
"It's not easy, Mr. Kenobi is guarding against our use of the decapitation plan. Alfi stroked her chin thoughtfully.
"Decapitation plan?" Rebecca and the others had not heard of the new term.
"It doesn't matter whether the large army lives or dies, organize a handful of high-end combat forces, and directly kill the enemy's headquarters. Alfie explained plainly.
"That's right, Mr. Kenobi, this is to let us use the battle formation to achieve victory in a dignified manner!" Barnett said simply.
"This guy's personality is really getting worse!" Rebecca muttered quietly.
"Coco, how can we find out the current casualty rate of the Fish-Man Force?" Alfie asked.
"Well, it's very clear on the parchment. Coco handed the parchment to Alfie, pointing to a number in the center.
"Twenty-three percent of the casualties are currently ......," Alfie felt dizzy when he read the number, for by the time he had taken the parchment, the figure had become twenty-five percent.
"Why is the casualty rate rising so fast, and hasn't the trebuchet troops, which can inflict huge casualties on us, been disintegrated by the corrosive rain?" Zambit asked, shocked at the change in numbers on the parchment.
"I'm afraid that's the reason. Alfie gestured to the fortress in the distance, where the Mechs were launching a fierce assault.
"I'll go ~ Can the defenders there support it?" Zambit only glanced in that direction, and his face changed. Their attention had been on Koko's side, unaware that the fortress was actually the focus of the Mech Legion's attack. In that direction, in addition to a part of the trebuchet troops, the Mechs also invested dozens of tall colossias of magical energy.
These 10-meter-tall colossas of magical energy do not need to use weapons, and simply attack with a fist, each blow can knock down the walls of the fortress. Every time a wall fell, countless Fishman troops were crushed under it, suffering heavy casualties.
The weak Fish-Man troops were completely inadequate in front of these Colossias of Magical Energy, and the spears in their hands struck the Colossus of Magical Energy as if they were tickling each other with toothpicks.
What's more, in addition to those tall magical colossas, mechanical monsters such as mechanical hounds are also constantly harassing the fish-man defenders.
Surprisingly, despite the unfavorable situation for the Fish-Man troops, the morale of the Fish-People there was still high, and they were stubbornly blocking the progress of the Mech-Legion with their flesh and blood.
"Koco, who's commanding the troops over there?" Alfie asked. Tactics aside, at least the ability of the generals there to boost morale is commendable.
"There's actually no one there. Before I left, I just gave a strict order. Koko said curtly.
"No one to command?Then why is the morale of the soldiers there so high?" Alfie's eyes widened, he had never heard of a unit that did not break up without the command of a general.
"Because I cast an illusion on those fish-man troops. In their eyes, they are all super soldiers comparable to the Colossus of Magical Energy!" said Koco embarrassedly. He had no choice but to make this decision, he had to keep the fish-man defenders at bay so that he could destroy the more threatening trebuchet force in a surprise attack like he had just done.
