"Don't worry, if we can win, Gu Cheng and I will go over and help you remove one or two Nightmare Children. Gu Cheng and I haven't built a fortress yet, so we can just grab one when the time comes."
"That's great. It just so happens that His Excellency Dragon Emperor and his men are here."
Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the other side of the plateau.
Lin Xiao also turned his head and saw a large army of different races rushing towards them from the bottom of the hill. What attracted his attention most was a group of half-dragons who looked somewhat similar to the Great Naga but were slightly smaller in size and had red scales on their bodies.
He remembered that Wu Zhonglin's core clan seemed to be dragon descendants. He searched among the group of half-dragons and soon saw a tall half-dragon sitting on the back of a giant lizard.
"No, he is not Wu Zhonglin!"
This half-dragon is not a player, but a powerful leader half-dragon.
He scanned the crowd but found no one who might be him.
Turning to look at the others, all of them were smiling and welcoming the newcomer. He asked Gu Cheng,
"Which one is Wu Zhonglin?"
Gu Cheng looked at him unexpectedly and said:
"Brother, you are awesome. You dare to call him by his real name. He hasn't arrived yet, but his men have. His real body should be nearby."
Lin Xiao smiled and said:
"It's just a name, everyone is called that."
Lin Xiao's reputation quickly dwindled. He turned around and looked at the sky in the distance. A black shadow was approaching him quickly. As he raised his head and looked away, the black shadow flew in front of him and revealed its true appearance. Lin Xiao rarely showed a trace of surprise and couldn't help but complain:
"Wow, so awesome?"
Along with a deafening dragon roar, a red dragon with a wingspan of more than 50 meters came towards them with a scorching hot wind and landed heavily not far from them.
Then, in front of everyone's shocked gazes, it quickly shrank into a tall figure with fine scales on its face and a pair of flaming dragon horns on its head.
"Nimma, you are so pretentious!"
At this moment, Lin Xiao regretted a little bit for not choosing Shura Naga as his race. Although the Star Spirits were beautiful, they were not as majestic as the Great Naga and the Dragon.
As expected, the secret treasure in Wu Zhonglin's hand is related to the dragon clan. From this, it can be inferred that his current core clan should be the giant dragon clan. Only this race exists in the divine realm and this race can be chosen as the body to descend into this world.
Wu Zhonglin transformed into a human form, and most of the players came forward to flatter him.
Their expressions were sincere, their attitudes were real, their eyes were enthusiastic. Lin Xiao stood behind them with his chin pinched, not knowing what he was thinking.
A few people who didn't go to meet him like Lin Xiao also had eyes full of envy. Gu Cheng saw that Lin Xiao didn't move and smiled:
"Envious, right?"
He nodded honestly:
"A little bit."
Another player on the side laughed:
"Why are you being so pretentious? Just be envious. No one will laugh at you. We are all envious, but we can't envy them. They are just that awesome."
"Haha, that's right."
Lonely City said:
"His strength is a good thing for us. At least we have experts to deal with the strong men of the Nightmare Son, and we don't have much competition. At most, he will occupy a Broken Floating Land alone. There are a lot of Broken Floating Lands in this area. Occupying one alone will not affect us. It will only make him come over."
Gu Cheng immediately pinched his collar and straightened his clothes, and reminded Lin Xiao and others in a low voice:
"Lord Dragon Emperor is here. He is a very nice guy. You should take the initiative to greet him and make yourself familiar with him. Then we can get to know each other."
"Your Excellency Dragon Emperor!"
Lin Xiao blinked and took the initiative to greet the approaching figure.
Gu Cheng next to him also greeted him and secretly gave him a thumbs-up:
"You're pretty quick, I tell you, Long."
Wu Zhonglin walked straight up to Lin Xiao, stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence. I've been here for almost a year, but I didn't expect you to be here too."
"It will be easy if you come. Have you seen the Son of Nightmare? There is also a super elite among them who is not inferior to me. Let's join forces to kill him and suppress the arrogance of the Son of Nightmare."
Lin Xiao waved his hand and said,
"You think too highly of me. I didn't bring my main force with me this time. My strength is average. Moreover, the descended body I chose is not from my core clan. Its combat power is far inferior to yours."
Wu Zhonglin looked at his men on the high ground with a look of "are you kidding me?" and asked, pointing at some of his men on the high ground:
"Are those your men?"
He nodded.
Wu Zhonglin looked disdainful:
"One lord template plus seven leader templates, and you told me that the strength is average?"
"Ahem, it's okay."
"You are showing off, right? You already have more lord and leader templates than me."
"Then why didn't you say you had five or six hundred enhanced elite half-dragons?"
"What's there to say about this little thing? I'd like to exchange with you."
"you sure?"
Lin Xiao had a look of suspicion on his face, leaving Gu Cheng and others beside him dumbfounded.
Several people watched him chatting with Wu Zhonglin in a familiar manner. They heard every word of the conversation, but they couldn't understand it when they put them together. Their whole brains couldn't react for a while.
After a while, Gu Cheng took advantage of their conversation to ask:
'You know each other?'
Lin Xiao and Wu Zhonglin nodded at the same time.
He took the opportunity to ask Lin Xiao:
"Brother, you are so familiar with His Excellency Dragon Emperor, are you also an elite of the War Throne?"
He waved his hand and said:
"No, I'm not from the War Throne."
"That?"
"He's from Huiyao!"
Wu Zhonglin turned around and said to everyone around him:
"You should have heard of his name. His name is Lin Xiao! The brilliant Lin Xiao! The Lin Xiao who challenged all the juniors and seniors of the brilliant university single-handedly and killed more than a dozen True God-level Void Sons head-on!"
Lin Xiao put his hand on his forehead to express his speechlessness.
Of course no explanation is needed, this is obviously a joke.
However, the players around were all shocked at this time. Gu Cheng and others stared at him with wide eyes and exclaimed:
"Brother, are you the Lin Xiao?"
"Guaranteed authenticity!"
"I go!"
Then there was ecstasy:
"It turns out that I have already added you as my friend, big brother, please give me a helping hand!"
"Help each other, everyone help each other!"
Lin Xiao waved his hand.
Being recognized was only a matter of time, and he had never thought of keeping it a secret.
Next, the command of the team was handed over to him and Wu Zhonglin. No one had any objections, and he took the initiative to discuss the subsequent tactics with Wu Zhonglin.
Of course, before that, they had to have a brief discussion with each other and figure out their own strengths.
Compared to him who took the top elite route and had a bunch of boss-level subordinates above the leader level, Wu Zhonglin had a total of five leaders and one lord, and the rest were all half-dragons with enhanced elite templates, with about 600 of them brought by him now.
Although the enhanced elites are much worse than the leaders, there are too many of them. The more than 600 half-dragons with enhanced elite templates are really too strong.
In addition, Wu Zhonglin's original form is a giant dragon. The normal level cap is level 70, the same as humans, but the bonus given by the dragon template is too high. His current level is level 76, but he has a health value of over three million. He is completely a real dragon BOSS.
According to Wu Zhonglin, even if he had a dragon template before level 75, it was just a shrunken version of a dragon with only a few hundred thousand health points.
But when the level exceeds level seventy-five, the power of the dragon bloodline is completely stimulated, resulting in a transformation. The template directly transforms into a dragon template, and now has the blood volume and size comparable to a real dragon BOSS.
Theoretically, all races can undergo this transformation, but the lower the racial bloodline, the higher the level requirement. For example, the star spirit bloodline that Lin Xiao possesses now is a sub-legendary race, one level lower than the legendary races of dragons or Asura Naga. Therefore, he must increase his level to level 80 before he can completely transform into a star spirit. Only then will his star spirit talent be fully realized.
From this, it can be inferred that if other mid-to-high-level races want to transform, they must be at least level 80 or even level 85 or above.
Judging from the experience span of leveling up, races below sub-legendary basically don't need to think about bloodline transformation.
Of course, lower races don't need to consider this. A weak race will still be weak after its transformation. It is more reliable to think of ways to improve the template in other aspects than to think about this.
The tactics are simple, with these two as the main force to attack head-on.
Although Wu Zhonglin's half-dragon is a warrior with thick skin and flesh, the dragon vein has given him some simple spellcasting abilities, including the signature fire explosion of the kobold dragon vein warlock. This spell is a medium-range explosive spell that can be used several times a day.
The leader in Lin Xiao's hands has the blood of a legendary creature, which is far stronger than the normal leader template of the same level. He can be used to snipe the powerful leader or even the lord on the opposite side.
Although the Nightmare Sons also have two Lord Template subordinates, they are confident enough to defeat them head-on.
After some communication and preparation, a total of about 22,000 troops came down from the high ground, formed an array and advanced towards the Nightmare Son position. The gate of the Ancient Arena not far away was opened, and Bigsas and a dozen players in the fortress also gathered and sent troops to join them.
There is no need to defend the city at this time. If you lose the battle, you will definitely not be able to defend it. If you win the battle, you don't need to defend it.
The front-row soldiers of both sides approached quickly with shields raised. The first wave of blizzard and rain of fire fell at the same time. The front-row soldiers of both sides slowed down at the same time and fell one after another before the formal battle began.
No matter when, those who die the fastest are cannon fodder.
Group after group of cannon fodder fell in the center of the battlefield, and group after group of cannon fodder obeyed orders and continued to die.
Fortunately, these NPCs are alchemical creatures and not real living people, otherwise it would be a bit psychologically difficult to give this order.
One side has about 30,000 men, the other side has about 35,000, and half of each are cannon fodder.
The brutal battle of cannon fodder lasted for about half an hour, with total casualties exceeding ten thousand before both sides began to send out their elites, which meant that the war officially began.
Wu Zhonglin transformed into a giant dragon again and soared into the sky. Along with a deafening dragon roar, a stream of hot dragon breath descended from the sky and sprayed into the Nightmare Army.
A huge figure also rose up in the army of the Son of Nightmare. It was a giant humanoid Son of Nightmare that was thirty meters tall. It had no legs in the lower body, but several thick tentacles supporting its body. A layer of flesh membrane connected the tentacles like a long skirt.
The upper body looks like a warrior wearing armor, with many small tentacles beside the two huge main tentacles. Behind the back and head, the tentacles are swaying back and forth.
