Thus, with the unexpected help from the Pandarens from the undercity, Jin thus decided to perform another One Dig One Kill despite feeling disappointed that the technique did not meet his expectations. (Well, considering that if the warrior that used the skill against him had died before completing the technique, Jin might not have grasped the technique properly.)
“Here goes nothing!” Jin said as he swung his war hammer and now with Ayse and Slydra empowering him at the sidelines, he slammed the hammer at the very same spot with exact precision.
The barrier took the hit and it immediately shattered from the blast. Needless to say, multiple Demon Rat Mages died when the spell broke. And while another few dozen tried to replace the dead Demon Rat Mages and rebuild the barrier, Jin had already utilised the System’s Empire Building Module to create a gigantic pillar that was sufficient in terms of its height, allowing it to be a sort of hindrance for the barrier.
It was a sight for sore eyes for the Pandarens as they found out that the pillar that Jin created had a hollow foundation that allowed them to slide down from the surface to the Undercity. All they needed to do was not touch the barrier to reach the pillar (or should they dub it as a pipe slide) so that they can access the Undercity.
The Demon Rats including the generals who were overseeing the situation cursed at the human’s innovation and wanted to break the pillar but considering how the third layer of the inner wall had been overtaken by the Pandarens and the humans were also surging through the new pillar, there was no immediate counter attack could be done to remove it.
Everyone from all over the store and raid instance cheered how they somehow managed to overcome the current obstacle and people who were doubtful in the first place had decided to continue with their raiding experience.
In the meantime, Roughscream was cursing at the new development saying how useless those Demon Rat Mages were as he was fighting against Se Lang. Despite the loss of his arm, The Demon Rat Club General had managed to stop the bleeding with the aid of his Demon Rat Soldiers keeping Se Lang busy. However, they were eventually killed by other Pandarens and Se Lang continued to press on, giving Roughscream just enough time to recover.
But now that the barrier and teleportation crystal issue had been resolved, the Pandarens were hoping to regain whatever ground they could get and that included setting a base camp daringly within the enemies’ ground.
They knew that they were in the middle of the Undercity but the Pandarens were undeterred to get things done. The Royal Sheep Zodiac Captain Mian Ling had yet to use her base camp creation mainly because she was only given that as part of the funds that were bestowed to her for this raid instance. She did not possess any teleportation crystal and thus allowed the Royal Monkey Zodiacs to set up their base camp first.
In hindsight, she was relieved that she withheld her base camp creation pack after having a gut feeling that the Royal Monkey Zodiac’s base camp was in a vulnerable place. But right now, it was not a good decision at all since they were in the middle of the enemy’s territory. The only difference was that Mian Ling’s base camp creation pack, had been filled with a variety of defensive modules which cost a lot more than the Royal Monkey’s base camp creation pack.
Her Royal Sheep Zodiac Head knew that the Sheeps were non combatants and would require more protection if they were to set up a camp to allow Pandarens to heal, rest and restock so she had decided to put more money in the creation pack to ensure that her Sheep would have a relatively safe place to perform their healing techniques.
“But isn’t the saying, that the most dangerous place is also the safest place?” Mian Ling tried to convince herself one last time as she placed the base camp creation pack right beside the pillar that Jin slammed through the barrier’s opening before disappearing into thin air.
“Are you sure you wish to place the Base Camp at this location?” The Pandamonium App asked for confirmation twice as it was a very expensive item to be used and the Sheep Captain firmly pressed the option yes twice as she looked at the plain palm size cardboard box right in front of her.
The cardboard box immediately started to shake and tremble as it started to float upwards right above Mian Ling’s palm and things began to emerge from the box itself. Temporary Holographic designs of the base camp had been outlined throughout and around the pillar like a blueprint plan in real life. The Sheep Captain knew that that was the space needed to be free for the base camp creation pack to do its magic and thus commanded the Pandarens and her fellow Royal Zodiacs to push the Demon Rats away from such places.
So as the Pandarens desperately tried to push the Demon Rats away, the blueprints began to materialise starting from the middle of the pillar as their starting point and this gave the Pandarens a certain direction to kill and eliminate any Demon Rats in the area. As more Pandarens slid down from the pillar, they were able to gain more ground despite their enemies’ relentless charges to ensure that whatever plan they were doing did not work.
But because the Pandarens too knew the importance of creating a base camp, they did their damndest to ensure that they could have a breathing space even if it was just a temporary one.
However as things were about to proceed smoothly for the Pandarens, another few hotshot Demon Rats came into the picture hoping to thwart their plans. Demon Rat Elites and they were the very same who killed dozens of Pandarens mercilessly.
“Why create a sanctuary when we can provide you one?” The Demon Rat Elite leader said as he used the very same technique of boxing the Pandarens who were trying to create the base camp.
