“Are you ready?” Soon, Shi Hao chose 100 people. Among them, there were 60 fighters, 20 knights (equipped with warhorses) and 20 archers. All soldiers were equipped with level three standard items, and they were all level 12.
Huan Ji was quite disdainful when he saw this. In his view, such a conventional configuration was truly boring. Therefore, what kind of configuration he, who despised Shi Hao, chose?
Upon a careful look, the 100 soldiers behind him were all knights. However, none of them equipped warhorses. They just used level 3 iron sword (2), level 3 iron armor (2), and level 3 strength wrist guard (2). P.S.: the number inside the brackets is an enhancement number.
The strength wrist guard was a type of item that increased the melee attack power. The increased melee attack power was exactly the same as that of a warhorse, but there was no increase in movement speed. Speaking about it, the strength wrist guard was not easy to make. It was because, just like warhorses, it required special raw materials. The special raw material of the strength wrist guard was called strength origin stone, which was a special ore, and there were not many refresh points. Shi Hao’s Twin Dragons Village couldn’t produce it because of the lack of this raw material.
“Ready! Then, follow me.” Huan Ji prepared to fight against Shi Hao following Shi Hao’s previous words. Soon, Huan Ji took Shi Hao to an open field three miles away from the military camp. Naturally, there was a small forest near this open field, which barely let Huan Ji use his skill. Huan Ji planned to deal with Shi Hao in this small forest.
At this moment, Shi Hao naturally saw this small forest, but he didn’t care about it. On the contrary, the matter of Huan Ji choosing all knights who didn’t equip a warhorse made him ponder for a long time.
Shi Hao thought, what did this fellow Huan Ji want to do? Those strength wrist guards were incomparable to the warhorses. Moreover, the strength wrist guards were rarer than warhorses. Huan Ji must have a reason to choose these 100 knights.
In fact, there was indeed a reason for Huan Ji to do this. He had to make the knights give up the warhorses because warhorses were too big to fight in the forest or woods, moreover, would also greatly reduce the flexibility. Like that, his advantage would be reduced. On the contrary, the knights who used strength wrist guards were able to fully display his advantages.
However, Shi Hao who didn’t know Huan Ji’s skill couldn’t understand the reason. He wanted to continue thinking. But Huan Ji had no intention to give Shi Hao more time to think. The sooner he starts the competition, the more confused Shi Hao would be and the more advantage he would have.
Therefore, Huan Ji coldly snorted and said: “Oh! Lord Shi, are you afraid? Unfortunately, it’s too late to be afraid! The battle starts now. By the way, let me warn you, the soldiers will withdraw from the battle as long as they lose more than half HP. This is not a battle of life and death.”
The soldiers under Huan Ji immediately formed a circle and rushed towards Shi Hao’s position in a circle.
“What kind of strategy is this?” Shi Hao quickly commanded 60 fighters to form a great steel wall, intending to stop Huan Ji’s attack.
But this was within Huan Ji’s expectation. He was very confident! He thought, the level as well as the equipment of the soldiers on both sides were the same. Upon a careful calculation, Shi Hao’s fighters should have 103 Defense and 60 HP, whereas Huan Ji’s knights should have 103 Attack. In this way, the knights could only deal 1 Damage, which was not enough to break through the defense line. Moreover, Shi Hao still had 20 archers, and those archers weren’t vegetarian! With their fierce attack, the knights would be wiped out before they could break through the defense line.
So, why was Huan Ji still so confident? What he relied on was this formation! Rotating Circle Formation.
[Skill Name: Rotating Circle Formation]
[Skill Grade: B]
[Skill Type: Passive, no consumption]
[Weapon Restriction: None]
[Current Rank and Mastery: Level 2, 225/400]
[Skill Effect: After this skill is activated, increase the attack and defense of the personnel within the formation by 6 points.]
Huan Ji was confident! With the additional 6 points of attack and defense, his elite soldiers would concentrate their attacks to make breakthroughs and simultaneously attack from different angles to repel those fighters. Like this, the fighters under Shi Hao wouldn’t be able to resist them.
Besides, even if Shi Hao was able to block, what of it? Huan Ji had yet to use his trump card. He was just giving Shi Hao a dessert before the main course to increase the appetite. On the one hand, he could test Shi Hao’s depths, and on the other hand, this failure could also make Shi Hao underestimate the opponent.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Soon, the knights under Huan Ji collided against the fighters of Shi Hao. The result was self-evident. It was just a futile effort. Shi Hao possessed an SS grade skill, Soul of the Warrior. Therefore, the defense of his soldiers had already reached 123.6, and such a defense was impossible for 109 Attack to break.
“Sure enough, he has some skills! No wonder he became the first person to capture the dungeon. However, it’s also strange. He is obviously a fighter, but my troops are unable to break through the defense line. It seems this fellow has a lot of secrets.” Huan Ji thought while activating his skill, Concealed Guerrilla Warfare.
Instantly, the speed of the knights under him increased greatly, and they immediately retreated towards that small forest.
“Chase them!” Shi Hao made a decisive move and launched a powerful offense upon seeing Huan Ji using the acceleration skill. Shi Hao judged that Huan Ji must have used a trick, and he had been waiting for this for a long time. Want to run after using a trick? Dream on.
What a pity! Shi Hao didn’t know that the speed bluff of Concealed Guerrilla Warfare was too terrifying. His troops couldn’t catch up. He could only watch Huan Ji’s troops retreat into the small forest and disappear without a trace.
“Stop! Line up in this place.” Upon seeing the pursuit had failed, Shi Hao instructed the soldiers to line up in front of the small forest. He then seized this chance to run over and find Huan Ji to ‘have a good chat’. It would be a shame to waste such a chance to chat. Wouldn’t he regret this later if he missed this chance? Hahahaha!
Shi Hao smiled and said: “General Huan Ji, are you playing around? Could it be that your trump card is to run away? If so, it’s indeed very good! Just a moment ago, those people who didn’t ride a horse were running faster than those riding a horse. I’m convinced. Rest assured, I will spread your greatness. At least, the entire West Flower Region will know your name.”
Shi Hao’s words would indeed infuriate others. If Pan Feng was here, he would have already drawn out his broadsword and rush over. But Huan Ji was a cunning character. He didn’t care about these words. At this moment, he only cared about a thing! That was time.
There was a time limit for his Concealed Guerrilla Warfare. It consumed 15 MP per 10 minutes. At present, he could use it five times in a row, a total of 50 minutes. If Shi Hao kept on talking nonsense like this, then it would be troublesome. Without Concealed Guerrilla Warfare, he would lose.
At this moment, what should he say to make Shi Hao lead his troops into the forest…
