Summoning Players into My Game-Chapter 699 - 365: Are They Demons? (Part 2)
For the army to capture the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall without any losses, it requires intervention from Grandmasters who have reached the Realm of All Things.
"Leave those two to me, you just focus on capturing the people from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall with all your might." Shax glanced at the two on the screen and took on the task directly.
Although the combat strength of Red Moon City was higher than expected, it wasn’t a big problem for him since he wasn’t in the Restricted Area.
"Alright, I’ll leave those two to you." Frost Wolf looked at Shax, who stood over ten meters tall with a body seemingly made of alloy, and did not object.
Shax was significantly suppressed in the Restricted Area, far more so than those from other races. Outside of that, he could wield his full force of sixteen thousand tons, a power ranking him in the top five among the intermediate corps leaders. Capturing two City Lords was by no means impossible for him.
Just as Frost Wolf and Shax decided on their respective opponents and before they had the chance to further organize their teams, the life detection radar suddenly issued an alert.
A dense array of red dots from within Red Moon City was heading directly toward the warship.
"They’re initiating an attack? Have they gone mad?" Shax was slightly surprised to see the army from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall charging directly at them.
In battles across the major shelters, it’s the reliance on energy barriers and qi and blood suppression devices that allow shelters to barely contend with their corps.
The number of fighters from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall was far less than those from the major shelters. Charging in without any advantage in numbers or terrain was akin to seeking death.
"They likely think they have more Heavenly Human Realm combat power, so they want to strike first." Frost Wolf observed the scene with calmness. "Rumor has it that the people from the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall are very brave. This seems to hold true, explaining why they were able to repel Baroque’s corps."
"Commander, they’re less than ten kilometers away. Should we engage?" a vice-commander asked.
"Deploy the entire army, capture all of them for me!" Shax smiled at this and ordered everyone to engage.
Seeing so many prized targets before, he was rather worried they’d scamper off in all directions. Now, with these targets willing to charge at them recklessly, he wouldn’t hold back.
As for the possibility of them not being opponents?
He never considered such a scenario.
In the Restricted Area, it wasn’t just the corps commanders who were suppressed; everyone was. Perhaps the over a thousand Grandmasters of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall could defeat Baroque’s corps within the Restricted Area, but outside it, opposing over six hundred Heavenly Human Realm Grandmasters was simply too far-fetched.
Within the Restricted Area, the stronger they were as a race, the more heavily they were suppressed. This suppression also applied across ranks, greatly reducing the effectiveness of their captains and squad leaders.
Their hosts were elite figures from other races. Even those who had achieved perfection in Super Limit Level Martial Skills were not uncommon. So, even at the Initial Tier of the Heavenly Human Realm, the practical strength of their captains and squad leaders far exceeded that of shelter individuals, except where limited by suppression, necessitating a reliance on their combat skills to compensate.
Now, outside the Restricted Area with no such limitations, without exaggeration, their captains and squad leaders could easily overmatch Baroque corps’ captains and squad leaders from within the Restricted Area.
Meanwhile, inside Red Moon City, Zhan Kuang and his group of three were taken aback by the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Academy Disciples’ bold charge.
"That Hall Master Lin just let these people charge out into battle, forbidding us from intervening; what’s his intention?" The City Lord of Tianqi Shelter, Zhan Kuang, couldn’t help but look up into the battle in the sky, puzzled. "Even though the Insect Race aims to capture talents rather than kill, if we don’t deter those Insect Race corps commanders, it won’t be long before those talents are all captured."
At this time, the old Half-Scale Race member Falin from the Glory Shelter, along with Vanessa from the Frost Shelter, also gazed at the sky battle, filled with confusion about what Lin Qi, the Hall Master of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, aimed to achieve.
Clearly, Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall’s forces boasted more Heavenly Human Realm combat power. By not deploying these Grandmasters to hold back the Insect Race commanders, the advantage of Black Obsidian’s Heavenly Human Realm warriors would be diminished, which equated to sabotaging the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall.
However, Lin Qi at the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall merely observed the events unfolding, with no intentions of intervening, leaving Wu Zhuoqun and Yino, donned in heavy guardian armor beside him, anxiously stamping their feet.
"Two corps commanders, huh?" Lin Qi regarded the two figures on the monitoring screen with a calm expression, unperturbed by their swift capturing of players.
The player offensive was his order. The reason was simple: to gauge how many experts the Insect Race army possessed and to test the energy enhancement effects from the Intermediate Cultivation Tower, thereby first wearing down the Insect Race army.
In other words, this was the correct use of players.
The players understood this well. In such battles involving tens of thousands of fighters, where they didn’t have a numerical advantage, and given the ability to resurrect, they naturally aimed to exhaust the opponents first. After all, players from the Bone Forging Realm could revive in just half an hour, and the Insect Race’s goal was to capture, not kill.
