Chapter 396: Conte's Eccentricity
On the plain near the entrance of the dungeon, the battle between the elven advance army and the chaotic ambush brought by Conte has already entered a white-hot state.
Of course, because of Rococo's handwriting, it is more appropriate to call it the Forest of Order not a plain nowadays. In this forest filled with the breath of order and life that was almost nowhere to be found on the Northern Continent, the elven advance army that was constantly pouring out of the dungeon was like a fish in water, relying on the terrain advantage, the elf advance army was on a par with the chaos monsters who were originally more numerical than them, and it could even be said that they faintly suppressed each other with fewer victories.
Although the racial talent of the elves is currently recognized as their affinity for natural vitality and their strong spiritual perception and mental power control ability, in fact, the forest combat skills in addition to this should actually be regarded as a potential racial talent that the elves are easy to ignore by outsiders.
Even a heavy class like the Elven Spear Shieldbearer can be far more agile in the forest than the heavy classes of other races that also fight in the front row. Combined with the interlaced vine roots and tree trunks on the ground, these elven spear shieldmen who did not look as strong as the heavy armoured troops of the Terran beast spirit clan used their agile footwork to play with the monsters who were attracted to their attention, and the spears in their hands were full of astonishing skill and beauty when they danced, not only would they not be constantly scraped and blocked by the surrounding plants like those deformed bone spur meat hooks on these monsters, but they would even be like smart poisonous snakes. Constantly attacking the monsters that were haunting them from unexpected places such as between tree trunks or gaps in vine nets.
The elven hunters who had pretended to be "hooked" by the ambush army that had been dispersed in the previous battle were now back on the battlefield. The forest terrain is full of dense obstacles, and this common-sense law does not hold true to them at all, these elven riders with crescent-shaped double hunting knives in their hands, relying on the tacit understanding between them and the mounts under their seats and the superb riding skills like acrobatics, like ghosts, quickly shuttle through the perimeter of the garden, constantly harassing those clusters of monsters, and once the opponent is alone, what awaits them is the gorgeous arc of death with the blade of the crescent hunting knife.
But of course, although the elven lance and shield bearers and elven riders have shown such excellent skills and combat skills, in terms of pure performance, it is still the elven archers and elven battle mages, these ranged classes that are known for their lightness, and their ability to maneuver in the forest is even better than that of the elven rider hunters in some way, because they can not only move on the ground, but also easily climb the crown of those tall trees. Rely on a dense network of tree trunks and vines to move freely directly above the battlefield.
Since most of the Chaos ambush troops brought by Conte are monsters that survive on the plains, except for a few monsters with excellent bounce or tall body and arms, there are few other monsters that can threaten these elven troops with long-range attack capabilities. On the other hand, thanks to their precise perception and superior attack accuracy, these elven archers and battle mages who are high in the forest can always find a chance to hit the monsters on the ground and even their hidden vital parts.
Short-range troops rely on body skills to attract attention on the ground, while long-range troops basically continue to output in the upper layers of the forest, and this kind of combo is quite inexplicable for plain monsters who are not adapted to the forest environment, and it is naturally not surprising to be suppressed.
But of course, the chaos monsters are not really completely without the power to fight back, although the vast majority of plain monsters are not suitable for forest combat because of their individual characteristics and body composition, but it is not without the previously mentioned individuals, individuals with extremely strong jumping ability or tall arm span, great destructive power and destruction range, relying solely on physical advantages can also pose a certain threat to the elves who are good at forest combat. In addition to these special individuals, there are also some monsters born with fire elemental attribute talents or fire-based magic abilities, although their flames are not as devastating as the fallen red dragon as the super chaos lord, but they are also quite difficult threats to the order forest environment.
In this way, the elves suppressed the chaos monsters as a whole, but because of the large number of chaos monsters, even if only a small part of them had the ability to fight back, this was enough to support the entire chaos monster army from being completely defeated and collapsed by the elves in a short period of time. Under the influence of various factors, the two sides presented a very anxious and balanced battle situation on the battlefield at the level of ordinary "soldiers".
In such a situation, there is no doubt that one of the key factors that can determine the final victory or defeat, no, even the "one" can be removed, and the key to determining the victory or defeat at the moment lies in the competition of the high-level combat power of the two sides.
Rococo, the silver dragon Vicano, the commander of the advance army, Sival, and the three super chaos lords led by Conte on the Chaos side, obviously, if either side can win the high-level combat power competition, then this will be the key winner to decide the final battle.
Generally speaking, even in the competition of high-level combat power, it is still the order side that has the advantage, and the battle between Sivar and the Chaos Mountain Troll has long been deliberately guided by Sivar to leave the main battlefield and do not know where to run, and the only thing that can really have a direct impact on the battlefield is the confrontation between Rococo vs. Conte, and Vicano vs. the Fallen Red Dragon.
This is not the first duel between Rococo and Conte, as Rococo's strength continues to grow, the matchup rate between the two has long since changed from five to five during the turmoil in the Inland Sea during the storm, and now Rococo has an obvious advantage. After all, both sides are the owners of Godhead fragments, and they are comparable in mental ingenuity and combat experience, and now the Rococo level strength that has undergone a second awakening and opened the original fairy mode has reached level 135, and it is not much worse than crushing Conte at level 120.
However, in fact, if you look closely at the battle between the two above the forest at the moment, it is easy to find that Conte really did not suffer too much, and the reason is that Rococo at this moment did not use all his energy on attacking at all.
After being entangled with Conte's old rival in the game for so long, Rococo deeply understands the truth of what is called "fighting snakes and not dying". Although Conte is definitely not the only owner of Godhead Fragments on the Chaos side, at least as far as Rococo knows so far, Conte is the most active Chaos Leader on the Chaos side and the one that causes the most trouble to the Order faction. Not to mention anything else, from the results of various failures and losses of the order camp in several major main plots in the previous life, we can see how much threat Kong Teqi poses to the order camp.
In the previous episodes, although Rococo basically did not let Conte succeed, he was completely unable to seize or even kill him. And this time, in the end, the enemy was in the dark, and Rococo discovered the other party's conspiracy without letting Conte notice the abnormality, and because of this, Rococo naturally had the idea of killing Conte completely after luring the snake out of the hole.
But it's easy to say, but Conte is not one of those rigid NPCs without ego after all, even if the anti-ambush game is designed, it is quite difficult to block Conte in this game. After all, it is a level 120 super chaos lord, and the only members who can participate in the battle plan to block Conte and play a positive key role are the three of them who are order-leader level powerhouses, and if they want to ensure that in case of emergency, they must have two people to attack at the same time to finally besiege Conte.
Right now, with Rococo's strength alone, it's not impossible to defeat or even seriously injure Conte, but it's not so safe to trap and kill him. Because of this, from the beginning of the battle, Rococo has not been in a hurry to attack Conte with all his might, but has paid more attention to restricting Conte's escape route, preferring to be occasionally taken advantage of by Conte in frontal battles, but also to resolutely stay on the battlefield to prevent the other party from escaping.
Rococo waited, she waited for her helper to quickly settle the battle and then came to help her besiege the big fish - yes, the helper she was waiting for was the "Dragon King Assassin" Silver Dragon Vicano, who was determined to perform the assassination with the strength of the Ancestral Dragon.
Vicano vs. the Fallen Red Dragon, this battlefield is arguably the most dramatic and one-sided of the three high-level duels in this battle. Vicano, who has a hard power of level 130 alone, is stronger than the fallen red dragon of level 120, and Vicano, who is proficient in "dragon slaying" because of the history of the dragon clan, is even more successful in the battle phase of this fallen red dragon.
Obviously, both of them are ordinary NPCs without Godhead fragments, but Vicano's targeted and extremely efficient dragon slaying tactics make people feel like they are watching the owners of high-level Godhead fragments abuse low-level NPC mini-bosses, and even Rococo feels that even if he goes into battle with all his strength to fight the fallen red dragon, he may not do better than Vicano, who does not have Godhead fragments.
For Vicano, the death of this fallen red dragon is almost only a matter of time, and what Rococo expects is that Vicano can deal with this red dragon as soon as possible, and then come and besiege Conte with her, even if Vicano is not the owner of the Godhead Shard, with her strength is enough to allow Rococo to take more of his energy from the work of restricting Conte's escape and use it to take the initiative to attack.
The plan went well, and seeing the appearance of the fallen red dragon becoming more and more decadent, Rococo's heart became more and more excited. But there was only one thing that worried her a little, and that was Conte's performance.
Things came to this point, Rococo didn't believe that Conte couldn't see that she was restricting him from escaping and waiting for Vicano to come and attack him, but what made Rococo a little incomprehensible was that Conte had always put on a kind of relaxed appearance because Rococo had not concentrated on attacking, and he didn't seriously want to take the opportunity to break through and escape.
Does he have any hole cards to rely on?
Rococo doesn't understand, but in the face of absolute strength, the role that intrigue can play is absolutely limited, and when Vicano comes, no matter what calculations Conte's side has, Rococo has the confidence to be able to see the moves.
