Chapter 979:


    Apart from Robb, everyone was disheartened!


    In their eyes, despite years of preparation and a massive army, all they faced was a shameful defeat.


    But Robb wasnt bothered in the slightest. Who ever heard of fighting a BOSS without a few group wipes?


    Only through continuous trial and error can everyone gain experience in battling the BOSS. Experience is invaluable, making the next fight easier. He shouted to the downtrodden crowd, Stop sulking! So we lost once, big deal? With my resurrection spells, we can afford to lose. I was prepared to lose a few rounds anyway. Thats why I instructed the Thors Roar and the Tank teams to save ammo. Do you understand now?


    The crowd suddenly grasped why Godfather had been conserving ammunition.


    It seemed Godfather knew from the beginning that defeating the dragon wouldnt happen in one try. Therefore, all expendable magical items had to be used sparingly so they wouldnt run out after resurrecting the dead. Their spirits lifted!


    The first order of business was to resurrect the dead. Those whose bodies were moved by the logistics troops were easily handled. With Robbs mass resurrection spell, they were all revived instantly. Each had died at different timessome smashed by the dragons fiery meteor, some swept away by its wings, some trapped in its fiery circle, some hit by its thorny armor.


    Because they each had different times of death, they werepletely in the dark about the subsequent battle events. As soon as they were resurrected, people immediately briefed them on what had transpired.


    Next, Robb had to resurrect several hundred people who were burned to death by the dragons breath, whose bodies were less than 100 yards from the dragon. They would immediately be in danger of being attacked upon resurrection.


    Robb turned to the knights of the Kingdom of Norma and said, You knights live in the Northern ins; you should be skilled in usingssos, right?


    Skilled! replied the knights, We cansso a horses neck with unerring uracy.


    Good, Robb smiled. Prepare yourselves. For every person I resurrect, youllsso one back.


    The knights hurriedly prepared theirssos, although they looked a bit awkward


    Robb cast a resurrection spell on an elven archer. The archer instantly sat up: Ah, Im dead! Is the Dragon War over? Did we win?


    Just as he asked this, he found the dragon still before him, staring at him with its massive eyes. He looked around; corpses were everywhere. His allies were safely standing beyond the 200-yard range of the dragon, leaving only himfreshly resurrected and unfortunatewithin the dragons attack range.


    The elven archer was so scared he almost wet himself on the spot. He turned to look at the ck dragon, which suddenly rose to its feet.


    Oh my God! The elven archer screamed, Help meeeee!


    Just as he yelled, asso flew in from a distance, quickly tightening around his neck. Instinctively, the elven archer grabbed it to keep it from choking him.


    Immediately after, he felt a tremendous force yanking him backward.


    It turned out that a group of knights, not just one, were pulling thesso. The force was immense, and the elven archer felt himself being lifted off the ground.


    The ck dragon charged at him, but he was pulled horizontally across the sky.


    As the ck dragons massive jaws descended towards him, the elven archer screamed in terror. The knights pulled him so swiftly that the dragons jaws missed by mere inches, snapping shut in empty air. Then the unlucky elf was pulled over a hundred yards andnded with a thud, well outside the aggro range.


    The ck dragon didnt pursue him further and swung its tail back around. Afterwards, the elven archer, pping his chest, jokingly said to the crowd, Ive already died once; dying again wouldnt be a big deal.


    Ah, true that, the crowd concurred.


    Robb cast a mass resurrection spell, reviving several people. More ropes were thrown, pulling these newly resurrected individuals back into the fray.


    After repeating this process for a long time, all of the fallenhundreds of themwere finally saved. Everyone sat in the safety zone, drinking water and eating bread to recover their stamina.


    Robb also took a sip of water and restored some MP. After the recent heavy losses, the warriors had gleaned valuable lessons. Next time we fight the ck dragon, we cant die to this attack again, they said. The moment we see the dragon sweep its head, we need to anticipate whether it will rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise and prepare ordingly.


    Lets agree on a chant, so we can rotate in unison as we shout it out, someone suggested.


    Chants are magical; their rhythm and tone can synchronize peoples actionsa trick that humanity has been utilizing since ancient times.


    As the warriors debated, Robb beckoned to the knightsing from the east. Ahem ahem Gentlemen,e here. I need to exin to you what clockwise and counter-clockwise mean.


    The knights were rather embarrassed; their earlier defeat was due to this confusion.


    Please, enlighten us about what is clockwise and counter-clockwise, they said, all ears.


    Robb had someone bring over a pocket watch and patiently exined not only the concepts of clockwise and counter-clockwise, but also the concept of telling time. He made sure to go into detail so that everyone could understand fully. After all, they had plenty of time; there was no need to rush.


    After a full hour of reorganization, rifying key points, taking breaks, replenishing food and wateroh, and some people even took the opportunity to visit the restroomthe team was ready once more.


    Robb stood up again: Prepare to engage!


    Everyones spirits were lifted. From the inner circle to the outer ring, from the mountains peak to its slopes, everyones fighting spirit reignited.


    Lets do this again!


    We can win this time.


    We will not fall to the ck dragons breath again.


    Go, Go, Go! Lets go!


    Singing the song of Forever and Beyond, together proiming As Far as the Eye Can See, justice shall not fall! Today, I will use this three-foot-long de to y the ck dragon and restore peace and order to this chaotic world.


    And so, filled with renewed resolve and understanding, the team prepared to face their fearsome foe once more.
