Chapter 977:


    The Shaolin monk, Wudang Taoist, and the old leader of the Qiantang Sectall closebat DPSalmost universally wield the Starfall Dragon yer sword, which is highly effective against the ck Dragon. This round of attacks dealt significant damage. However, the arrival of closebat sses triggers an event!


    When the ck Dragon detects more than fifteen nearby enemies, it unleashes an AoE skill.


    Raising its head towards the sky, it roared, Prepare for the apocalypse!


    Many in the group had already seen this move back in Westwind Town.


    Robb shouted at the same time, Dodge the red circles on the ground!


    The elites of the group were quick to react. Upon hearing Robbsmand, they immediately repositioned, as if they disappeared during their swift movements.


    Everyone instantly moved away from the red circles on the ground. And shortly after, meteors fell from the sky, striking precisely where the red circles were. As such, everyone sessfully dodged the fiery meteors.


    Those who had seen this move before were unfazed, but the heroes and Eastern warriors experiencing it for the first time were shocked. They thought to themselves, If not for Godfathers (Robbs) guidance, we wouldve been down by now.


    Robb loudly dered, The apocalyptic meteor wont be triggered again soon. Second, third, and fourth squad closebat DPS, engage! Ranged DPS, keep up the mana-efficient attacks, no interruptions.


    Upon hearing Robbs call, Kante, who had been eager to join in, got excited. Though he didnt have enough strength to join the main squad, now its finally the turn for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th squads. With a battle cry, he charged into the battle arena wielding his Demon Steel longsword. Taking the fight seriously, he utilized his skills as a magical knight, delivering both physical and magical damage.


    Shisu is also in the group. Her martial arts skills arent good enough to make it to the main squad, but her Sword of Waves sword technique released seventeen or eighteen strikes on the dragon in a blink of an eye.


    People under the dragons wing, move! Robb yells.


    He had predicted a wing sweep from the ck Dragons minor movements. However, not everyone in squads 2, 3, and 4 are elites; some were slow to react. For example, the leader from the Eighteen Divinations is far less agile onnd than at sea. Though he heard Robbsmand, he couldnt react in time. The dragon wing swept through, and while the experts dodged sideways, he and several others were struck and thrown far,nding lifeless.


    Robbmands, Logistics team, move the bodies and prepare for revival after the battle.


    The logistics team rushed in and carried away the bodies, making room for the already prepared reserve soldiers to pick up the fallen weapons and take their ces.


    In the outer ring, axemen, crossbowmen, magicians, longbowmen! Fire! Upon Robbsmand, the long-ranged troops in the outer ring of the battle formation opened fire simultaneously.


    These long-ranged troops were far less capable in singlebatpared to the first, second, third, and fourth brigades up front. Their equipment was also much inferior; after all, top-tier gear couldnt be issued to everyone.


    However, the sheer number of these long-ranged units made up for it. They were arranged in multiple circles on the hillside. Even if their individual attacks were not that powerful, thebined volley of hundreds of archers was a force to be reckoned with.


    Miss, Resist, 1, Resist, 245, 85, Miss, 324various numbers danced wildly above the ck Dragons head. Of course, only Robb could see these numbers; nobody else could perceive them.


    Furthermore, Robb soon found it impossible to keep track, as the myriad numbers umted into a jumble too dense to read. He had no choice but to fixate on the ck Dragons health bar.


    90 million, 87 million, 84 million.


    When the ck Dragons HP dropped below 81 million, Robb roared, All melee sses, fall back! Keep 50 yards away from the ck Dragon; all long-range attacks, cease fire!


    Though the troops didnt understand why, they unconditionally obeyed Robbsmand. Instantly, all melee units began to retreat, and long-ranged units stopped their attacks. However, some couldnt halt in time and released onest spell or arrow.


    Just as the ck Dragons HP dropped to 80 million, its massive body abruptly turned dark red. Its original ck scales began to turn red and sprouted numerous, spike-like protrusions.


    One archer who couldnt stop in time released a final arrow that hit the dragon just as it transformed. With a crack, the arrow shattered, and the archer who shot it stiffened, bled from all seven orifices, and copsed, dead.


    Several more archers and magicians who couldnt stop in time also fell.


    Its Thorns!


    Damn, the bacsh damage from this thing is several times higher than the damage we originally dealt. The melee DPS who had quickly retreated upon Robbsmand sessfully escaped the radius of the firestorm. However, a few who were slower got hit by the fire ring and instantly turned into corpses.


    Fortunately, the ring of firested only an instant, and the burning ceased. Otherwise, their bodies would have turned to ash.


    As long as the corpses remained, they could be resurrected.


    The support troops quickly carried the fallen away from the battlefield.


    After the fire ring had ceased, the spikes on the dragons body retracted, and its bacsh effect was gone.


    Robb loudly announced, The ck Dragon has entered its second phase! Melee DPS, re-enter the battle! Ranged DPS, continue to maintain a mana-efficient rate of fire!''


    The DPS units that had just retreated 50 yards turned around and re-entered the battlefield.


    The ranged DPS units also readied their bows and arrows, or began chanting spells once again.


    After going through that previous phase, everyones faces had turned pale. Robbsmands had to be executed immediately and decisively upon hearing them. Any moment of hesitation could lead to instant death.


    Though death meant resurrection, dying was still embarrassing, to say the least.


    Listen carefully to Godfathersmands! someone yelled out.


    Then, everyone roared in unison, Listen to themands, execute decisively, or theres only death.


    Upon hearing their shouts, Robb couldnt help but sigh inwardly: How wonderful it would be if I had such obedient subordinates in the real world as well.
