Chapter 1248 1248. Outnumbered

Spring Crown grinned widely at Jack. "Three-on-one fight. For one who had three cla.s.ses, I don't think you will consider this unfair, do you?"

Jack glanced at the plains. The armies had started engaging each other.

"I don't have the time to play with you, people," Jack said and summoned Therras beside him.

Spring Crown sighed. "Well, if you have to be a d*ck…"

Spring Crown took out something that Jack recognized as a companion token. Arthur and Long did the same.

Jack already knew Long's companion. Abasi Raretooth appeared next to the draconian player. On Spring Crown's side, a draconian in a mage robe appeared. His name was Uiqey. The one next to Ronald was an ethereal woman holding a knife. Her name was Delgado.

Uiqey and Delgado had the same grade as Abasi, rare elite grades. As for their levels, they were level 70. Long, Spring Crown, and Ronald were all level 68. Abasi had the highest level among them. His level was 75.

Jack's Therras was level 72, but its grade was mythical.

Jack didn't waste more time with chatters. He had to get back to the main army and helped. He cast Myriad Venomous Vipers.

His three opponents were not normal players. Long had mana sense. Spring Crown identified Jack's spell when Jack was still half-forming the spell formation. Ronald sensed Jack's killing intent when Jack made his move.

The three were already out of the danger zone when the fifteen vipers burst out of the ground. Their companions followed their lead.

Jack didn't expect his first move would trouble these three experts. The three had been separated. Jack used Charge and approached Spring Crown.

"Hey! Why am I your first target? Do you a.s.sume I am the weakest?" Spring Crown protested.

His companion Uiqey cast a fireball spell. Jack prepared Magic s.h.i.+eld to block the fireball.

To Jack's surprise, Spring Crown blocked the spell himself. Except he wasn't blocking it, Spring Crown used Absorb Energy and absorbed the fireball into his spear. He then used the empowered spear and attacked Jack with Ki Strike.

Jack responded with Flame Strike. The collision threw Spring Crown back, but he suffered no damage.

"How can a skill from a basic cla.s.s win against a skill from an elite cla.s.s? You are seriously cheating, man," Spring Crown protested.

Numerous gunshots were heard. Ronald used Bulletstorm. Jack flew back to escape the hail of bullets. He didn't want to tank that many bullets. He sensed pressure from his back.

He turned and saw Abasi come swinging with an image of a giant flaming axe.

"I will avenge my father today!!" Abasi exclaimed.

Jack used Brave Slash. The two powerful attacks collided and Abasi was thrown back. Abasi's attack was powerful but Jack's Brave Slash had mana manipulation empowering it.

"The h.e.l.l, man? I've never even fought your father!" Jack yelled.

"You are the partner of the b*tch who did, which makes you responsible!" Abasi lunged forward again.

"What kind of sick logic is that?" Jack responded. Behind him, Spring Crown was attacking again supported by Uiqey. Ronald stayed at a safe distance and never stopped firing.

Behind the charging Abasi, Jack saw Long and Delgado hold Therras back.

On the plains, the two armies clashed.

In that short time when John realized the enemy was coming at them, he rearranged the army into proper formations. The huge army was divided into many legions which could act as a single division. He then moved these divisions around accordingly.

Each division was composed of balanced troops composition. All four special units were placed in proportion within each of these divisions. Each division was capable of battling an enemy to its fullest potential. All John had to do was direct them on where to hit and how to cooperate.

This, of course, did not happen just because of John's direction. The Themisphere military had gone through intense drills to be able to go into a formation this smoothly. Every soldier had done these drills a thousand times.

The zombie army arrived first. John had some divisions forming a linear wall to receive their charge. He then had them pulled back slowly as he moved the remaining divisions to hit the zombie army from the left and right flanks, effectively boxing them into a kill zone.

While the morale was lifted due to the positivity of the initial clash against the zombie army, the Liguritudum army who followed behind caused John to frown.

The second John laid eyes on that army, he couldn't help but be surprised.

The Liguritudum living army was also using the same tactic as him. At a glance, the composition of the enemy's divisions was also well-balanced. The enemy moved fluidly as they hit the weak spots in John's formation while the Themisphere army was dealing with the zombie army.

John had some spare divisions which he had prepared to maneuver against the Liguritudum army. But every time he sent an instruction, the enemy adjusted accordingly.

The quality of the Liguritudum army was not that far off from Themisphere's soldiers. Their basic units were mostly upgraded versions. They also had four special units, one of the four was the dread knights available due to their relation with G.o.d Fear.

The other three special units were Ghost Mage, Celestial Knight, and Empyrean Priest.

Ghost Mage was a caster unit with decent AOE spells. They had a special ability called phasing, allowing their bodies to become intangible if hit by a melee attack. This ability had a cooldown of three minutes, so most likely it only saved the Ghost Mage from a first strike.

Celestial Knight was a heavily armored melee unit that had a skill set similar to the player's Inquisitor cla.s.s. They had the Angelic Possession skill that gave them temporary flying ability.

Empyrean Priest was a healer unit with survivability exceeding most other healer units. This was because of their heavenly armor ability, which provided them with a layer of defensive armor made of pure light. This armor could be conjured once every battle and had an HP bar. One needed to exhaust this armor's HP before hurting the Empyrean Priest.

If the quality and the tactic used were more or less equal, then the sides with more numbers held the advantage.

"F*ck me. The opposite side has a good tactician," John cursed. He sent a message to Domon, "Domon, Bring your best disciples here! I have a task for you!"
