The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 461 - 396: Ripple Island (Part 2)

So after a brief discussion, Wangzai Little Buns decided on the best strategy: to bring in reinforcements.

The reinforcements she brought in were not from other squads under her command, but a special squad led by Iron Black Pot and Swinging in the Wind.

Wangzai Little Buns contacted them through the gaming group, where she had complained about discovering a stronghold that was quite troublesome.

Then, Swinging in the Wind got in touch with her, asking the location of the stronghold she was planning to attack.

Once Wangzai Little Buns informed them, they immediately said that the stronghold Wangzai Little Buns intended to attack wasn't too far from the location where Swinging in the Wind's squad was stationed.

They then expressed willingness to bring their squad to support Wangzai Little Buns' squad, and together take down the tough stronghold.

After the two of them had a detailed discussion about the allocation of Knight Origin Battle Energy resources, they finalized the plan.

In the end, Wangzai Little Buns indicated her position, then quickly went online, waiting with her people.

Swinging in the Wind clearly didn't deceive her; they didn't have to wait long before a series of shadows appeared in the distance.

The series of shadows moved extremely quickly, and soon they arrived overhead Wangzai Little Buns' squad.

It was the squad led by Swinging in the Wind.

At this time, there were two figures standing beside Swinging in the Wind, namely Flatulence and Iron Black Pot. Seeing Wangzai Little Buns, Iron Black Pot greeted first, "Hey, Wangzai Little Buns, long time no see."

Wangzai Little Buns immediately flew up, quickly arriving in front of Iron Black Pot, "Yes, it's been a while. Sigh, these days I've been busy leading my squad to constant battles, indeed I've got a bit dizzy."

"It seems like your squad has been quite productive, having so many Legendary Tier entities show up."

Hearing Wangzai Little Buns' praise, Iron Black Pot grinned, then gently shook his head, "Not really, the harvest is just so-so. Compared to you, Wangzai Little Buns, we can't quite compare at all."

Upon hearing Iron Black Pot's words, Wangzai Little Buns rolled her eyes slightly, "Quit the nonsense, will you? The Legendary Tier entities in your squad are almost the same as those in mine, how come they are not comparable? Clearly, they are similar. Being humble is good, but over-humility seems like pretending to be superior."

Hearing Wangzai Little Buns, Iron Black Pot scratched his head and said, "Haha, let's cut the crap, should we attack immediately?"

Hearing Iron Black Pot, Wangzai Little Buns nodded her head right away, her expression slightly serious, "According to our previous experience, this stronghold is united by several external forces, they have over 50 Legendary Tier entities."

"During the previous attack, I managed to kill one taking advantage of a gap, but it shouldn't affect them much."

"The most important thing is, their tactics are quite bizarre. Every time we break into the barrier of that island, we enter a pure black space, and we instantly feel ten times heavier, while our attacks are slightly weakened."

"It takes quite some time to break that space."

"And during this period, those 50 or more Legendary Tier entities won't let us attack the black space unchecked; they'll constantly engage us and impede us."

Hearing Wangzai Little Buns' words, Iron Black Pot squinted his eyes slightly in contemplation, then spoke, "From what you mentioned, it's quite interesting that the body becomes 10 times heavier, I wonder how much it affects speed?"

After recalling for a moment, Wangzai Little Buns replied slowly, "Though the body becomes very heavy, the support from Death Energy means speed isn't significantly impacted, reduced by about 10%. Since our mobility is far superior to theirs, even with a 10% reduction, they can't touch us."

Hearing Wangzai Little Buns, Iron Black Pot nodded lightly, then asked, "When you broke through the black space before, did you encounter anything else?"

Upon Iron Black Pot's inquiry, Wangzai Little Buns shook her head, "After breaking that black space twice consecutively, we retreated immediately without further exploring the island's interior."

"Because just dealing with that black space is challenging, especially when our Legendary Tier numbers are unequal."

"So we're unsure if there are other bizarre tactics deeper in."

"We attacked twice mainly to see their trump cards, but unfortunately couldn't withstand the pressure the second time as well." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

After Wangzai Little Buns' recount, Iron Black Pot didn't say much more, nodded, and remarked, "Then let's spare the words and just attack."

"Your squad has over 20 Legendary Level entities, and mine also has over 20, totaling nearly 50. Though there's still some gap compared to their numbers, we have the advantage, so I believe it'll be tough for them to entangle us."

"First, we concentrate our forces to break that black space. If there are more tactics as we advance deeper into the island, we'll deal with them later. Regardless of what they have, I don't believe it can withstand attacks from over 40 Legendary Tier entities."

Wangzai Little Buns lightly nodded, clearly agreeing with Iron Black Pot's view.

Then, without another word, they signaled to their squads, combining forces, and flew off into the distance.

Their target stronghold this time is located on Ripple Island, which used to be the territory of a major Inner Circle force in the Chaotic Sea Domain.

On this island, there is a large lake within the island, the lake's waters have special effects, useful for making potions that heal injuries, making it quite an excellent resource point.

Although the lake water can only be used to make potions that heal ordinary injuries, which might not interest top-level forces, it's quite coveted by ordinary forces.

Besides this lake, the island also produces various alchemy materials, which, though not unique, are fairly rare and valuable.

The mobility of the two squads goes without saying, soon they saw the scattered outline of islands in the distance.

Ripple Island's status as a major territory in the Inner Circle of the Chaotic Sea Domain is somewhat unusual; it doesn't have many subsidiary islands like other major territories, having only six subsidiary islands.

So at first glance, it appears rather sparse.

The six subsidiary islands weren't the focus for Wangzai Little Buns and Iron Black Pot because, as Wangzai Little Buns mentioned in the gaming group, the foreign force occupying this stronghold had withdrawn all personnel after being attacked.

Not only did they retreat their own people, but they also relocated the ordinary inhabitants from the six subsidiary islands to the main island of Ripple Island, showing utter determination.

Thus, the six subsidiary islands of Ripple Island are now completely deserted.

To capture the enemy, they naturally needed to attack the main island of Ripple Island directly.

The enemy's refusal to give up, besides the island's resources, was also due to their success in repelling Wangzai Little Buns' squad twice, surely boosting their confidence.
