Chapter 278: All I Can Say Is, Inhuman!
Zhang Zihao's actions have already shown his determination.
Bringing the warriors to the front line is as good as staking everything he has.
The mages in the rear sit cross-legged, restoring mana through meditation. Zong Shen distributes some [Essence of Magic (Green)] obtained from the Water Element, which can rapidly restore mana to counter the intense magical consumption during battle.
Earlier, Tasuya had already used the Summon Hellfire skill, and Doris's Summon Fire Spirit was used around six in the morning. It's now just past four in the afternoon, and the cooldown time hasn't ended yet.
Only Aisha can still use the Magic Reset skill to refresh the cooldown of Summon Holy Spirit. Fortunately, Blazing Flame Burst and Fire Dragon Tornado can both be cast, and Zong Shen can also use [Aegwynn's Book of Ten Thousand Laws (Rare)] to possibly draw a Tier 3 group attack magic if lucky.
Everyone is itching for a fight, their war intent boiling; an intense battle is about to erupt!
For Zong Shen, defeating these tens of thousands of Burrow Monsters will not only earn tens of thousands of points but also serve as a test for him and his warriors.
It's important to know that the squad he brought today is just the Wolf Rider Squad One and the Exploration Squad, not all his assets. Therefore, these Burrow Monsters are definitely the most pressuring battle they've faced so far.
"Let us fight!"
Zong Shen shouted, stepping forward to stand at the very front.
The main body of the Burrow Monster Swarm has approached within a thirty-meter range in front of everyone, and the scattered monsters have already been slain.
In the sky, three groups of Stone Gargoyle Swarms are flying, eventually merging into a single swarm of over four hundred Stone Gargoyles, hovering above, waiting for the ground battle to commence.
Zong Shen took out the [Molotov Fire Spreader], initiating this battle with assistance from the strategy module. In his view, the location of the Ghostly Demoness and Burrow Heroes hidden within the monster swarm were all marked with golden circles of varying sizes, conveniently displaying the distance between the targets and Zong Shen.
Smaller circles indicated Ghostly Demonesses, while larger ones marked Burrow Heroes.
Looking at the massive monster swarm ahead, several dozen Ghostly Demonesses were scattered throughout, with the farthest at the rear and the closest just near the front lines.
There are five Burrow Heroes in total, with three relatively close at a distance of over a hundred meters from the front line, situated in the densest area of the Burrow Monster Swarm.
The other two Burrow Heroes are located on the far right of the swarm and near the rear, also quite scattered.
Zong Shen roughly outlined their positions in his mind, having a clear idea.
He raised the flamethrower and pulled the trigger first!
The range of the flamethrower reached 30 meters. As the fire tongue swept forward, it immediately ignited the monsters at the front line. Tens of thousands of monsters huddled together, occupying a large dark area.
They can't surge forward all at once, resorting to a gradual encirclement approach.
The front line of Burrow Monsters was continuously licked by the flamethrower's fire tongue, igniting one after another, forming a wall of fire.
A scorching heat wave surged skyward, rapidly heating the air, changing its density. The distortion above the fire wall proved the high temperature of the emitted flames.
The moment Zong Shen pulled the flamethrower's trigger, it silently declared the onset of battle!
This time, he didn't give specific combat orders. Aside from Aisha's Magic Reset and Summon Holy Spirit, everyone could independently decide when and what skill to use.
There was only one request: to kill as many Burrow Monsters as possible.
This battle also serves as a test for each warrior.
Pax, holding a magic staff, closed his eyes amidst the incredible number of creatures and softly muttered a prayer.
"Great God of Flames above!"
"My Lord is really too reckless..."
Before the words fell, Doris tapped his back lightly with her magic staff.
"Shut up and prepare for battle!"
"Let's turn these disgusting, damned Burrow Creatures into ashes with fire!"
"Speaking of which, our Lord now has a certain charming appeal!"
Doris licked her lips, her eyes filled with battle frenzy.
Pax said no more, shaking his head helplessly. When he raised his magic staff again, his expression turned serious.
...
As Zong Shen fiercely assaulted from the front line with the flamethrower, he suddenly received a loyalty notice.
[Fire Mage Doris's loyalty to you increased by 10 points, current loyalty is 88]
Zong Shen: ???
The mages in the rear began chanting, and the sisters Madeleine and Mapple drew their bows, initiating attacks on the Stone Gargoyles swirling in the sky.
The warriors on the front line didn't act rashly. The Dragonized Spear and Shield Warriors raised their shields, spears aimed forward, and the Wolf Cavalry fetched their short spears for throwing attacks. They must maintain the integrity of the first line.
This batch of short spears was the first set acquired through Points Exchange; their initial ones had long been exhausted.
The entire empty area was just outside Zhang Zihao's territory, spanning a curved space approximately fifteen to sixteen meters long with a width of five to six meters, like an arched shield guarding the territory ahead.
