Chapter 1438: Chapter 1438: Battle Flag

The Comprehensive Mode is the most challenging mode. To achieve the first kill in Comprehensive Mode, not only does a team need to be formidable, but it also requires a substantial number of legions.

For Li Yao, an army of two hundred thousand is not a significant number, but for many guilds, it’s a colossal amount.

Being unable to sustain an army applies not only to players but also to guilds. Nowadays, guilds won’t blindly maintain too many armies, otherwise, they simply can’t afford it, and the guild’s financial chain would break.

Moreover, in the contest for the first kill, it’s expected that they will deploy their strongest line-up in the second phase.

With strong competitors abound, expect to be eliminated like in the first challenge, where one hundred percent were ousted.

This struggle for the first kill in Comprehensive Mode is not only a competition of team strength but also of the guild’s overall capability and financial resources. To take this city, it’s uncertain how many armies will need to be expended.

If the factions don’t want to damage their troops, they can only use the armies of players.

The members of Starfire have each made their plans, and after discussing one by one for over an hour, they finally allocated the quotas.

The specific allocations are as follows: for the aerial forces, fifty thousand quota, of which ten thousand Gryphons are contributed by Li Yao’s own Griffin Legion, twenty thousand of the Undead Bloodline pooled by the guild and team members, and twenty thousand from Li Yao’s own Mantis Legion, which includes ten thousand Breakers.

Of the remaining hundred and fifty thousand, sixty thousand are the tank vanguard, with thrity thousand Fire Poison Cockroaches, and thrity thousand elite Boar People from the guild.

The support legion is thirty thousand strong, with ten thousand from Li Yao’s High Elves’ Divine Guard Priests, another ten thousand various support and healer units pooled by the guild and team members, and ten thousand support units including siege, engineering, and Mechanical Soldiers.

The remaining sixty thousand are the offensive legion, comprising of ten thousand Divine Guard Magicians of Li Yao, twenty thousand Divine Guard Rangers, twenty thousand Banshees of the Undead, and ten thousand pooled by the guild and team members to form the Warlock Army.

In this way, the entire legion is well-equipped for both attack and defense.

Such aerial force configuration is already very luxurious at this stage, as aerial forces are still the hardest to recruit.

The Griffin Legion is at Warcraft Level leadership, naturally its combat strength goes without saying. Although the Mantis air force is fragile, each possesses a special function.

Breakers are the nightmare of enemy spellcaster professions. Currently, there aren’t many spellcasters, and while all guilds are vigorously recruiting them, they still can’t form on a large scale. But any Spellcaster legion facing Breakers is essentially powerless – they can only await to be struck down by lightning.

As for the assassins, they are experts in concealment and assassination. They are no match for the Griffin Legion in direct combat, but in special circumstances, their efficacy is bound to be no less than that of the Griffin Legion.

These are the foundations that belong to Li Yao himself and are easy to replenish, hence they are the main force of the aerial forces.

The Blood Race is also one that the Dark Camp can recruit and favors, they’re humanoid but primarily capable of flight, and their ground combat capabilities are strong as well.

With mighty Blood Race spells, they are considered an all-around unit type.

These Blood Race units are the result of Starfire’s conquest of two medium-sized Undead Cities during this period.

As for the Tank Legion, Fire Poison Cockroaches provide powerful mid-range strikes and robust recovery and defense abilities but lack mobility and sprinting power. The Boar People are tough-skinned and hard-fleshed, and with the armor provided by Li Yao, they truly become humanoid little tanks that can take and deliver hits. Together, these units complement each other, making Starfire’s lines even more solid.

The twenty thousand support legion is formidable – Li Yao’s Priest legion goes without saying, and the mixed healing army of ten thousand healers is not weak either. Healers are among the rarer spellcasting professions, so gathering two thousand healers is quite remarkable.

The ten thousand in the support legion responsible for engineering, siege, and other unique functions can adapt to various unexpected situations that may arise.

As for the offensive professionals of Starfire, they appeared even more formidable.

The prowess of the High Elf Mages is widely acknowledged, whether it be output or Arrays, they played a critical role in the first checkpoint.

As for the Rangers, they are the true artillery, twenty thousand Rangers can form a real Arrow Rain that can obscure the sky.

Then there are the Banshees, who can be said to be outstanding practitioners of Dark Magic, and their orthodox ice spells are not weak either. Coupled with curses and spiritual spells, they can deal damage as well as weaken the enemy Legion, and are also Starfire’s reward for breaching the Undead City.

Lastly, there’s the Legion of ten thousand Warlock, which represents the foundation and depth of the guild members and the guild itself. It goes without saying that Warlocks specialize in curses, Dark Magic, and can also summon Demons, boasting formidable combat power.

Such a formidable combination made the audience’s scalp tingle; the Legions summoned by many comprehensive mode teams paled in comparison to Starfire’s, probably crumbling at first contact.

Moreover, many teams that understood Li Yao and Starfire knew that this was not the strongest lineup of the team, that there was still something held in reserve in the construction of the Legion.

For instance, they knew Li Yao had quite a few special Bug Tribe armies, and Li Yao also controlled three personal cities and territories, among which the Mechanical City housed quite a few strong Ace Armies, but Li Yao did not summon them.

Clearly, Li Yao planned to keep them for the final battle that decides the fate.

“Alright, then it is settled,” Li Yao finally decided.

“Then let’s start the summoning quickly, I can’t wait to see the second checkpoint,” Tongtong said excitedly.

Li Yao shook his head: “There’s no need to rush, securing the first kill is not so easily settled, so the team will be dismissed for three hours for now, deal with some real-life affairs, and those who have nothing to do can enter deep sleep to restore energy, otherwise if the second checkpoint’s circumstances are unclear, we’ll probably face a drawn-out fight, and it won’t do to lack vigor.”

“In that case, everyone should disband and recharge,” Sister Li also said.

The people then logged off one after another, Li Yao ate some food offline, then logged back in and found many team members had already logged in. They had lit a bonfire in the open space, pitched tents, and prepared to rest in the game, ready to set off whenever the time was right.

“Big brother, I’ve pitched your tent for you,” Tongtong waved to Li Yao, pointing to the tent at the very center.

Li Yao smiled, then went over to roast some meat, ate a little, then also crawled into the tent.

The System has an auxiliary hypnosis function that induces deep sleep, making it easy to fall asleep, but it’s not suitable for frequent use, and it’s only available upon application.

Two hours, enough for Li Yao to recover his peak spiritual power.

With plenty of time before the assembly, Li Yao, Sister Li, and other veterans had already begun using the Portal to gather the troops.

In no time, a large army had already gathered outside the gate.

And by the time all Starfire members had convened, Starfire’s army had also completed the assembly.

Li Yao, on the back of his Hell Battle Scorpion, called out, “Raise the Commanding Flag.”

Whoosh…

The Angel unfurled the Fish-dragon Marshal Flag directly, the Commanding Flag soared mightily, at least a dozen yards high, then the flag unfurled itself without wind, whipping and fluttering loudly…
