Chapter 589 I Have a Trick to Destroy the Enemies
After the bronze giant’s name was revealed, all the players were relieved.
Based on their experience in the past, they were scared of anything that didn’t have a health bar.
Under normal circumstances, a lack of a health bar meant zero vulnerabilities.
Now that the monster had a health bar and a name, the case became completely different.
The chairman of Fatter Cat waved his hands magnificently. “Gentlemen, it’s time to demonstrate our strength. To conquer the Spatial Magic Tower, we have to take down this intelligent golem. Can’t several thousand players do that?”
“I remember hearing that yesterday, and things didn’t end very well,” said a certain chairwoman. “So, sir, you have been ousted from power. From now on, you will only be responsible for the supplies.”
“How can you do that?” moaned the chairman of Fatter Cat.
Just like that, the chairman of Fatter Cat lost his command power because of his jinx mouth.
Then, the four thousand players in the base were mobilized and gathered in four squares, before they marched toward the bronze giant.
As they approached Tebesia, they saw that the air around the enormous statue two hundred meters away was even more twisted than earlier.
“As per our plan, initiate the Ants Versus Elephant Battle!”
The commander who had been put in charge announced, “Surround the golem and attack it however you can!”
As the commander gave the instruction, the four squares moved quickly and surrounded the intelligent golem in the middle.
Infinite rays of light and black spots darted from the squares and hit the intelligent golem.
Yet, a field of magic power suddenly appeared on the golem and blocked all the remote attacks.
Then, a cross-shaped flash appeared on the golem’s eyes, which were then replaced by a pair of white glowing eyes. It looked around with its new eyes and grabbed the enormous sword on its back. “It’s about to use Blade Storm! Disperse!”
The commander waves his hands and cried out.
Exactly at this moment, the golem turned around and looked at the commander, who was at the rear of the battlefield.
The golem didn’t have any expression.
However, whoever saw it would feel that it was grinning hideously.
“Sweet mother of god, is this thing intelligent now?” The temporary commander swallowed. “Initiate Plan B! Throw out Dimensional Anchor scrolls.”
Thirty Dimensional Anchor scrolls locked the golem’s environment tightly. Although the payers had been crushed by the golem earlier, they had figured out its abilities too.
The combination of Flash and Blade Storm was too disgusting. As soon as its teleportation ability was restrained, the golem’s mobility would be greatly weakened, and it would not be able to attack freely.
However, outside of everybody’s expectation, the golem didn’t flash but jumped high into the sky.
Its jump was high and long.
All the players subconsciously raised their heads.
They watched the golem jump overhead and land behind them with the longsword.
The temporary commander opened his mouth first. Then, he was covered by shadows with a grim look on his face, before he let out a classic curse.
In the end, he was stomped upon by an enormous metal heel and squished into a pulp of meat instantly.
The golem landed on the sand. Under the shock of its enormous momentum, the sand sank half an inch at first, before it bounced back and sprang up into the sky.
Destroy the leader, and the gang will collapse!
That was a strategy that was hard to carry out on the battlefield but often meant victory if it was.
Yet, the golem had made it. Standing on the city wall which was as smelly as before, Greene and the other elders observed the battle not far away.
They all put on a smile of satisfaction when they saw that the golem reduced the enemy’s commander into a pile of meat.
A golem that had a soul was truly different.
Not only was the golem charged faster with a soul residing in it, but many of the golem’s special abilities were also activated. Killing the enemy’s boss first was something only intelligent creatures would do.
“We’ve got it,” remarked Greene delightedly. “Even undying monsters like the Golden Sons will be disordered for a moment when their leader is killed. Those four squares and thousands of people might kill each other in stampedes.”
What he said was common sense that applied in most worlds.
It was also common sense on Earth too.
Yet, this common sense didn’t apply to the players.
Although their commander died, the players weren’t panicked.
“I’m the deputy chairman of Thunder Guild. I’ll replace him as your commander,” shouted a bearded, brawny man. “Use Battle Charge and ropes and try to tie the golem up… Ah!”
Because this brawny man shouted too loudly, he attracted the golem’s attention.
Two red rays beamed out of the golem’s eyes and burned this brawny man into ashes.
“I’m the captain of the seventh squad of Phoenix Guild. I’ll be your commander… Ah!”
The beautiful female player hadn’t even given an official command yet when the bronze giant hopped up and kicked her as if she were a football.
But the captain of Phoenix Guild wasn’t kicked off like a football; she simply shattered into a storm of flesh and blood.
Not a single body part of hers was intact.
She couldn’t have looked more pitiful.
“I’m Mr. Nobody from Moon Shadow. I’ll be your commander now!” A handsome young man shouted, “Warriors and hunters, try to tie up the feet of the golem.”
This player was killed by the intelligent golem in one minute after he gave out the order.
Because of its height, the intelligent golem had a wide range of sight, which allowed it to see who was giving out commands.
In addition, it was a great jumper and runner, and it had a shocking attack range, so it could always kill the commander.
Every time a commander was killed, the elders on the city wall would smile and nod in satisfaction.
But as time went by, their expressions were replaced by surprise and vague fear.
It was because the battle down below had lasted more than half an hour, and the golem had killed at least 21 commanders, yet the Golden Sons had not collapsed yet and more commanders were still rising.
Also, while the intelligent golem eliminated the commanders, it also killed more than five hundred players.
Body parts, mixed with abundant black blood, were everywhere in the desert at this moment.
Yet, the Golden Sons were not retreating.
The ranged classes were dealing as much damage as possible as quickly as possible.
The melee classes, in the meantime, ran near the intelligent golem.
If they had ropes, they would try to tie up the golem’s feet, but none succeeded.
The golem was too strong. As soon as it moved its legs, even the heavily-armored Warrior players would be kicked away as if they were origami men.
Those who didn’t have ropes tried their best to attack the back of the golem’s feet as well as its heels.
But it didn’t really help, either.
Most of the players left nothing but some shallow marks on the surface of the golem before their weapons were broken. At the same time, the golem could easily crush them by casually moving its feet.
Then, the players would be physically obliterated.
All three elders were infuriated to see how fearless of death the Golden Sons were.
“Why are there such fearless, undying monsters?”
There was intense envy and jealousy in his voice.
As this elder spoke, the intelligent golem closed its hands before its body.
A mass of electric plasma was tossed out to the square a hundred meters ahead. Dozens of ranged players were easily killed.
But the other players in the square who were still alive simply dispersed slightly and continued attacking the golem.
The arrows and spells hit the surface of the golem like a storm, but they were all blocked by a twisted layer that looked like a magic shield.
The players were not frustrated at all but kept attacking
On the city wall, Greene saw the intelligent golem take out the one-handed sword and wave it.
Sticking to the ground, the longsword swept in the shape of a sector.
Beyond the sector was a partially radial belt of flesh and blood in the same shape.
Another several dozen players were squashed into pulps of meat.
However, the players were rather excited.
They saw that the long health bar of the golem had shortened a little bit.
According to the system, the HP of the golem went from 100% to 97%. It meant that the DPS of the five thousand people in the past half an hour was no more than a tickle for the intelligent golem.
Nevertheless, the players were excited, because it meant that the golem wasn’t invulnerable and was prone to damage.
Things were quite simple as long as it could lose health.
On the city wall, looking at the Golden Sons whose morale suddenly soared, Greene said, “We should give him a hand. That moron isn’t familiar with the golem’s abilities or its huge size yet.”
The other two legends both nodded.
Then, all three of them flew to the sky beyond the defensive magic arrays of the city.
The players saw that three people flew out of Tebesia. Upon a closer look, they found a skull symbol behind the stranger’s health bars.
Immediately, they were more or less bummed. They hadn’t reduced much of the boss’s HP yet, yet more elite monsters had come as reinforcements.
Besides, the number of the players had been reduced to three thousand.
Until they figured out the vulnerabilities of the intelligent golem, the battle here was pointless.
Instantly, a new commander stepped up and shouted, “Elite monsters are here! Fall back and let’s think twice! Fall back!”
Before the three elders realized what was going on, the players had already retreated
They ran as quickly as huskies that had just been unleashed. They quickly disappeared.
Floating before the golem, Greene said coldly, “Go after them and tear down their base.”
“I don’t have enough energy.”
The intelligent golem struggled to speak.
“Bummer. Then go recharge yourself.”
Greene rose to the sky and looked at the square walled city that emerged out of nowhere ten kilometers away. He found it to be such an eyesore that he wanted to erase immediately.
However, he knew that he probably wouldn’t end well if he dared to go there.
Those Golden Sons weren’t as tough as the female Great Swordsman in Hollevin, but they were too large in number and too fearless of death.
In the base, all the guild leaders gathered again.
Some of them had dropped levels because of their deaths.
But none of them was bothered.
“I’ve observed the whole battle from a distance. Your problem is very obvious: you don’t have the power to break the enemy’s defense,” said the leader of Fatter Cat with a smile. “So, I have an idea. Let’s pool some money and invite the strongest Mage to help us. I’ve already come up with a codename for the plan. It will be called ‘Close the Door and Unleash Roland’!”
