462 Mounted Eagle Ape King (1/2)
Nine Solitary Spears was instantly unhappy when he heard this, ”We finally made our way up after so much trouble. Why are we going down now? Stop fooling around with us.”
Fearless replied, ”According to the pattern of the first stage, the BOSS controlling the monsters should be at the back end of the crowd of monsters. As long as the squad drags the crowd of monsters down and leave a few of us here, we should be able to locate the BOSS.”
”What if the BOSS is among the crowd?” Thunderlord pondered for a moment before asking.
Fearless laughed, ”The higher we stand, the clearer we can see!”
”F*ck…” Thunderlord Block was lost for words.
The Eagle Riding Demonic Apes were currently hovering above the crowd. As they looked up from the bottom, the flock of monsters were blocking the ray of light so all they could see were black patches. It was almost impossible to detect the BOSS from here.
If a group of them were to lure the flying monsters down, the flying monsters would be flying at a lower altitude than at the peak of the mountain. Without the flying monsters blocking the sunlight, the players on top could see everything clearly.
”Everything makes sense but who is going to stay here?” Thunderlord Block asked Fearless.
The people staying at the peak of the mountain must not just be able to locate the BOSS, they must be capable enough to deal with the BOSS too. They couldn't afford to have fewer people dealing with the BOSS. However, if they wanted to lure the crowd of monsters down the mountain in the first place, they couldn't afford to compromise on the numbers too. Therefore, choosing the people to stay at the peak became a problem.
If there were too few people left on top, they might not be able to kill the BOSS. If they left too many people on top, they might not be able to pull the aggro away. Therefore, the person staying at the peak had to a top expert among experts.
Naturally, Thunderlord Block could be considered as a top expert. However, after getting tricked by Fearless once, he instantly grew wary when Fearless suggested something like that.
Fearless continued, ”We only need to leave three of us on top. An Archer to lure the BOSS, a Guardian to defend and a nimble expert who can do extreme damage.”
Yang Nuo was the only Archer so there was no one else in for consideration. Ming Du could be the one to cause extreme damage but the word 'nimble' just wouldn't go well with him. The only other nimble person who could cause great damage was Wang Yu.
As for the choice of Guardians, Fearless looked at Crotch Lord and then Thunderlord Block before chuckling. ”This time, Crotch Lord shall be up. Thunderlord cannot make it.”
”Tsk!” Thunderlord Block replied, ”This trick again? A top expert like myself will not fall for the same trick twice.”
At the thought of this, Thunderlord Block told Fearless, ”I shall be in charge of protecting you then.”
Thunderlord Block was not dumb since he was able to go pro in the gaming industry. His intention was fairly obvious as he was trying to tell Fearless that he would follow him everywhere he went to prevent him from doing anything harmful to Thunderlord Block.
Fearless laughed, ”Alright, remember to protect me well and don't run away.”
”Don't worry, I will not leave more than an inch between you and me.” Thunderlord Block replied in a serious and slightly malevolent tone.
”Old Bull, Crotch Lord and Sister Clear Snow shall stay here.”
”En.” Wang Yu nodded.
”We're not having a Mage here?”
After Fearless decided on who to leave on top, Thunderlord Block suddenly asked out of curiosity.
Because Wang Yu was able to see through Thunderlord Block's ultimate skill, Thunderlord Block might not be too happy with him. Regardless, Thunderlord Block wouldn't doubt Wang Yu's strength. However, he still felt that leaving a Pugilist behind considering this unique scenario was evidently not the most suited.
The target was a flying monster and also a BOSS. Even a mage might not be able to reach the BOSS in terms of the range of attack. No matter how impressive a Pugilist was, a Pugilist was only able to fight in close range battles. This was, of course, unless Wang Yu could violate the system settings.
Fearless replied, ”A Mage is not nimble enough and will get killed by the BOSS easily.”
”But a Pugilist…”
”Or should we leave you here instead?”
