This should be the third time I have personally fought, Demilo thought.
Although the commander should be in the rear commanding the troops, when the troops are wiped out, the commander naturally has to go to the battlefield to complete the strategic mission, because even if you die in battle, the god will revive you from your memories, and even the merits earned in the previous life will accumulate.
For the god, a suitable legion commander is a scarce resource, and not all sorcerer projections are qualified to become an English soul—most sorcerer projections cannot develop command expertise. Even if they have command expertise, they may not necessarily fit with the power. For example, a sorcerer with the expertise in “commanding undead troops” is meaningless in the star hall, as there are no undead troops in the star hall.
Different sorcerer projections have different command expertise, but command is a sorcery faction that has not yet been recognized by the virtual realm, so it cannot receive the assistance of the virtual realm and can only rely on the talent of the commander himself.
A commander like Demilo, who spent hundreds of years cultivating the expertise in “logistics”, is definitely not something the god will give up on. There are only a few logistics commanders in the star hall, and each of them can accelerate the collection of resources in the star hall.
If he runs away… there is no option to run away. When the commanders know that dying in battle is more cost-effective, no one will choose to run away. After all, they are just a group of puppets with memories, and their thinking is a straight one-way street, and they will not execute unnecessary commands.
-But since meeting this group of sorcerers, he has been executing unnecessary commands.
Demilo looked at the giant bow in his left hand, which represented the ‘Star Archer’ unit he had given himself. Like knowledgeable creatures, commanders who are given units will gain different mutations due to their own characteristics—because he mastered the two miracles of “Tragic Tyrant’s Calamity Bow” and “Diamond Splitting Arrow”, the ‘Star Archer’ also mutated accordingly. Normal Star Archers do not have such a large bow and such shiny arrows.
Compared to knowledgeable creatures, commanders have an advantage that cannot be ignored.
They can stack multiple units of the same type of soldiers on themselves at the same time.
For example, at this moment, Demilo has accumulated all the ‘Star Archer’ forces that can arm eight followers onto himself. Doing this does not increase his damage, but the armor can be stacked. Although the armor of the Star Archer is only 2 layers, it becomes 16 layers after being stacked 8 times.
The increase in numbers not only means an increase in armor and health, but also a significant increase in the armor reduction coefficient!
The higher the number of armor layers, the higher the damage reduction of the outermost layer of armor, and the more damage required to break through a layer of armor.
If each layer of armor has 100 points of health and 10% damage reduction, then it would require 112 points of damage to break through one layer of armor; but if there are 2 layers of armor, then the outermost second layer of armor has 14% damage reduction, and it would require 117 points of damage to break through the second layer of armor!
The damage reduction of each layer of armor is different, and the damage reduction of each layer is increasing!
Although the coefficient cannot be increased infinitely, Demilo, who has 16 layers of armor, has nearly 50% damage reduction on the outermost layer of armor. The impact that could have pierced through 3 layers of armor of the steel monster just now can only tear open his 16th layer of armor, and there are still 15 layers, 14 layers…
So, why are soldiers more important than followers— as long as there are enough soldiers, even if all the followers are killed, the English soul can still form an army alone!
In the previous two “Six Kingdoms Great Sealing” wars, Demilo once had up to 300 units of Star Archer forces, standing on the tactical high ground and forcibly suppressing multiple enemy legions, and thus obtained the “Invincible English Soul” medal, and was additionally rewarded three times the merit by the god.
Before the armor is broken, he has plenty of time to slowly execute these sorcerers.
With a full moon bow, Demilo aimed at the charging steel beast.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the squealing sound of tires, the sports car braked and drifted before the impact, leaving skid marks like sweet donuts, sliding in front of Demilo.
Trying to disrupt my shooting accuracy, which means that this steel monster cannot withstand my shots… Demilo instantly analyzed the opponent’s intentions and weaknesses, but at this moment, the opponent sorcerer suddenly popped out to observe!
Clang!
Although Demilo reacted extremely quickly, it seemed that the opponent was deliberately inducing him, and he missed a shot. At the same time, the sports car bit Demilo again, breaking his 15th layer of armor.
A cunning man.
Demilo adjusted his battle strategy again, no longer attempting to shoot the sorcerer, but focusing on destroying this steel beast. However, when the steel beast ran around in circles again, the Star Shepherd suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap.
Even after leaving the cave, the steel beast’s butt was still emitting poisonous mist. Although the mist dissipated quickly in open spaces, after several laps of accumulation, the concentration of the dark green mist had reached a level that could affect visibility!
If he wanted to make long-range shots, even if he could split into three arrows, most likely only one arrow would hit. After all, the steel beast was extremely fast, with a fluctuating walking route, and with the impact on visibility, Demilo might not be able to shoot down their mounts before his armor was broken.
In other words, to improve shooting accuracy, Demilo only had one choice left—
Buzz!
When the sports car rushed out of the thick fog to crush the enemy, Demilo, who had been waiting for a long time, also released the bowstring!
A head-on collision!
He only started shooting when the steel beast ran up to him, ensuring that every arrow would realize its full value!
Demilo was absolutely sure that before his armor was broken, this beast would be torn into pieces by the arrows!
In theory, that’s how it should be.
If no one interfered.
Just before Demilo was knocked away by the blade, several threads like flowing water shot out from the sports car, wrapping around his waist like a gentle embrace!
Then, a hard pull!
Demilo couldn’t escape the binding of the threads, and was not thrown out by the sports car, forced to continue to be intimate with the evil blade. He was not panicked, just a little strange— the horror of this steel beast was not the two blades that could easily cut the soul, but the powerful inertia after speed enhancement.Now he was being pulled by the silk threads, and although he had to endure the continuous damage from the blades, compared to the previous impact injuries, the current damage felt as trivial as being attacked with nail clippers.
However, being controlled like this was not a solution. Demilo was just about to draw his diamond arrow to cut through these threads when he realized that the steel behemoth had already pushed him out of the poison fog.
Why would it voluntarily give up the advantage of visibility? In an open area, they had no capital to contend with me.
Could it be…
A sense of realization dawned on Demilo, and as he turned his head, he discovered that the wall of the cave was right behind him!
