Chapter 566: Veteran Old Cat
His head was a bit dizzy; this Grand Memory Arts was really fucking annoying!
Old Cat cursed in his heart, stumbling and crawling as he leaned against the edge of the tree hollow. At this moment, the entire tree hollow camp had quickly become busy and chaotic. Everyone had received their orders and learned their respective tactical tasks. Everyone was methodically preparing. They were all familiar with this kind of thing, including cooperating with Contractors. Even though most of the time, Samsara Travelers and Contractors were mortal enemies fighting to the death.
But as long as they encountered a big fat pig that was fat enough, they would also decisively cooperate, because they were the same kind of people—profits came first, after all.
But the bad thing was, this did not include Old Cat. The adverse effects brought by the Grand Memory Arts made him somewhat drowsy. He would need at least an hour to gradually recover to eighty percent, and two hours to fully recover.
"Old Cat, thanks for your hard work!"
The mage Ah Ming walked over quickly and handed him a magic potion. How thoughtful of you, it's actually a Golden Mental Potion, excellent.
Old Cat quickly drank it down in one gulp. He could feel his mental power recovering rapidly, and the terrible feeling from just now was fading away. The importance of an Alchemist was evident from this.
Old Cat sighed with emotion and glanced at the man in gold-rimmed glasses without complaining. In fact, he instead felt very fortunate. It was very difficult for Samsara Travelers to trust each other. It was said that in more ancient eras, factions could be divided by country, region, civilization, or race, and during that time, many powerful Samsara Travelers comparable to the All Deities of the Heavens had emerged.
But the subsequent wars across the Myriad Worlds that lasted for tens of thousands of years shattered all of this. Many powerful Samsara Travelers left, either going into seclusion or establishing their own sects. For example, the boss of the Contractors was actually once a Samsara Traveler comparable to a deity. There were also some powerful Samsara Travelers who established Paradise organizations, Apostle organizations—big and small, all sorts of varieties and types.
It was like outstanding employees jumping ship from under an evil god.It was said that the initial founder of the Lord of Myriad Worlds organization was also a Samsara Traveler...
Sigh, public morals are degenerating day by day, and people's hearts are not as they used to be in ancient times. Now, Samsara Travelers were no longer proud of being Samsara Travelers, because they could jump ship back and forth. For example, Old Cat had jumped ship from the Ghost Head Contractors.
This was definitely the most rational decision of his half-life, because this team was very powerful. The Boss was a Legendary Knight about to advance, the second-in-command was a Legendary Mage, the twelve core members were all Legendary, and the peripheral members were all Master rank.
The key was they also had an Alchemist, so the supply of magic potions was truly wide open for consumption!
As a Legendary Ranger and a Golden Thief, Old Cat could only grow bigger, stronger, and create new glory in such an organization.
"Everyone, remember, this is the upcoming tactical deployment."
"The Blazing Legion under Li Wei is the strongest, with terrifying mobility, and their Legion Skills are comparable to 5th-tier magic. So all tactics must revolve around this point."
"The mages on the Nean side will first create a massive swamp locally and bring down a heavy downpour to create a terrain advantage. Their 5-Star and 6-Star Giant Crocodiles will ambush along the predetermined route. This is a magical creature with extremely strong stealth capabilities; Perception below 40 points simply cannot detect them. But the bad part is that this kind of magical creature will also be stimulated by intense killing intent and subsequently exposed prematurely. Unfortunately, the collective Delusion Breaking released by Li Yue's Blazing Cavalry is a type of killing intent."
Speaking up to here, the man in gold-rimmed glasses paused. He himself was dismissive of this so-called Illusion-Piercing Killing Intent. He was a Legendary Knight; he could release higher-quality, more strongly condensed Heaven-Rending Killing Intent, where a single point could rival 1.5 points of Delusion Breaking.
This was something truly tempered a thousand times over, obtained through slaughter on the battlefield.
But it couldn't be helped; he was only one person. Facing a mob beating, he also had to temporarily avoid their sharp edge. Because the soldiers of a Lord of Myriad Worlds had higher synergy, tacit cooperation, and matching affinities, they could trigger a resonance of killing intent. This was the essence of their so-called Legion Skill—it wasn't anything magical, but truly difficult to achieve.
So, this was also why the man in gold-rimmed glasses leaned towards Li Yue being among them. What kind of idiot would cut off their own arm and replace an outstanding cavalry commander?
The explosion of a Legion Skill was essentially the roar of a war machine where all members had tacit understanding and resonated with each other. As the commander who single-handedly created the Blazing Legion, Li Yue's prestige among the soldiers could not be replaced by any latecomer—unless Li Wei, this Lord of Myriad Worlds, possessed a higher level of ruling ability, possessed the skill to make even Li Yue wholeheartedly submit, and possessed the ability to make all soldiers reach over 90 points of Loyalty.
Hmm, getting off topic.
"So, these 5-Star and 6-Star Giant Crocodiles are cannon fodder meant to restrain them for our entire operation. Although they are very strong, they still cannot withstand the bombardment of ten Legion Skills. At this time, I will request the Nean's Earth Dragon Heavy Cavalry to intervene!"
"And at this time, our Druids, as well as the Druids from the Contractors' side, will enter the battlefield and dominate the sky, securing a commanding height. Old Cat, Zhao Fei, George, the three of you will follow and take to the sky shortly. If Legendary Rangers like you cannot launch strikes from the sky, it would truly be too much of a waste..."
"What? Li Wei's legion accelerated! Fuck!"
While the man in gold-rimmed glasses was still deploying tactics, he suddenly heard this news and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. How could this Li Wei's reaction be so fast? Damn it, you guys ran wildly for six thousand miles in one breath during the day, and only rested for less than ten minutes at night. Are you that fierce?
"No, notify the Contractors. There should be a Master rank Alchemist under Li Wei, which is why they can prepare a large quantity of high-quality recovery magic potions. Fuck! It might even be that they are taking purple-gold quality recovery magic potions, otherwise it wouldn't have this effect. Quick, quick, quick, everyone move out, we can't delay any longer!"
The man in gold-rimmed glasses roared. Indecision leads to chaos! As native NPCs, the Nean over there were already in position. They truly were fearless of death, and also truly cooperative, but that was all built on the foundation of the high Prestige brushed up previously. If they failed to kill Li Wei or heavily injure Li Wei this time, but instead caused their total annihilation, then their Prestige would drop, drop severely, perhaps even reset to zero.
Damn it, these convulsing Neanderthal idiots!
If it weren't for the fact that they gave too much remuneration, I would be the first to screw them over!
"Old Cat, hurry the fuck up! Dillying and dallying, don't you dare screw me over!"
A Druid grabbed Old Cat by the collar and drilled out of the tree hollow. In the next second, he tossed Old Cat up single-handedly to a height of over a hundred meters. Closely following, this Druid transformed into a Giant Eagle with a wingspan of over fifty meters, caught Old Cat, and soared into the sky.
At the same time, two other Druids also transformed into Giant Eagles, each taking two Legendary Rangers and flying high into the sky. Ranger + Sky Druid: this was currently an extremely popular combat combination.
Under conditions where infiltration and reconnaissance weren't needed, in a formal battlefield, the air-to-ground output advantage was simply rock solid; anyone who tried it said it was good.
"Old Cat, can you manage? How's your condition!"
A message quickly floated across his eyes. It was his teammate Zhao Fei, who was on the back of another Sky Giant Eagle. She was also a Legendary Ranger, a Golden Thief. Oh, that was equivalent to a 4th-Tier Ranger and top-tier scout in the Lord of Myriad Worlds organization.
"I still need twenty minutes to recover, but I've currently recovered about eighty percent, so it's not a big problem. Zhao Fei, have you contacted the aerial Druids on the Contractors' side?"
"Contacted, but they want to flank from the rear, and have currently already detoured around. We need to flank and intercept from the front. The first objective is to take out that 6-Star Hunting Pet. Old Cat, that's a crow, right? You saw it with your own eyes during your shift earlier; how did it feel?"
"Very thorny! That Hunting Pet is somewhat strong, stronger than all three Sky Eagles on our side—this is obvious. And it's said that Li Wei is also a Legendary Ranger. If he is standing on the back of the Hunting Pet, then I'm afraid we will have some difficulty taking out the Hunting Pet."
"But we have more people! Old Cat, you have to act as the commander. In our squad, your Perception is the highest, so I'll be your support. George, you are responsible for sharing the Data Link with friendly forces."
"Received! Currently, Li Wei's legion is still 370 miles away. According to the real-time coordinate monitoring report from the Golden Thieves, Li Wei's legion is still adopting the two-people-one-horse mode. The war standard buffs have been fully activated, and the peak value of their Illusion-Piercing Killing Intent has already exceeded 40. This is a fatal frequency for all Golden Thieves. Anyway, nothing can be seen; the most intuitive feeling is just one large fireball."
"The information from the Nean side is that their Giant Crocodiles can almost no longer hold back; they must start the battle within ten minutes at the latest!"
"The Contractors have already made combat preparations. The Boss hopes we can get into position within five minutes."
"Report complete, over!"
"Old Cat?"
"Received, we need to pull up our altitude, strive to pull up to fifteen thousand meters. No, pull up to eighteen thousand meters first. Since the other side is a Ranger, and since we are also Rangers, we have to play by the rules of Rangers: seize the initiative first, and don't worry about the battle on the ground... Damn it! Did Ah Ming water down the mental potion he gave me?"
A trace of pain flashed through Old Cat's head.
"Old Cat, don't joke."
"Ha! I know, this isn't Ah Ming's fault!" Old Cat was incredibly depressed. The consequences of the Grand Memory Arts were too great, but he could also understand the team leader's approach—seeking truth and pragmatism in everything.
"Eighteen thousand meters? Old Cat, I screw your uncle! We can't hold up at this altitude. The Great Frost still holds quite a lot of power at this altitude. Do you want us all to be frozen into ice cubes?"
A Sky Eagle cursed angrily.
"Brother, endure it. Take some cold-resistance potion to hold on for a bit. But it can't be helped; wars between Rangers are just this plain and unadorned. We must seize the initiative. Under the premise of confirming that Li Wei's Hunting Pet is 6-Star and he himself is also a Legendary Ranger, we must consider the worst possible scenario and then eliminate them one by one. We have to be on top, understand?"
Old Cat rubbed his head and quickly took a dose of cold-resistance potion himself.
As an ultra-veteran Legendary Ranger, he understood these things far too well.
