Chapter 473: 472, [Illusion Duel] (Fifteen): Snowfield Large Platform_1
When the countdown ended, the scene before Su Yu started to change.
The next second, he and Morning Star appeared on a large platform covered in snow and ice and incredibly flat.
Snowflakes were floating in the sky, and the ground was covered with accumulated snow.
Behind him, 325 soldiers were neatly arranged. The accumulated snow under their feet was not too deep, probably only reaching their ankles.
He looked around.
Su Yu found that the platform was not too big, probably the size of five or six football fields combined.
The platform can be considered an approximate circle.
At the center of the circle was a [Icy Camp].
Surrounding the camp, there were five gold mines evenly distributed.
The five gold mines formed an equilateral pentagon, guarding the camp like five fortresses.
Further out were 10 player armies, with two next to each gold mine.
However, it was apparent that everyone was still bewildered upon entering the battlefield, and no player dared to act rashly at first.
The first to take action was, of course, Su Yu.
Su Yu was located at the 6 o’clock direction of the camp.
After observing the situation of the platform for a few seconds, he acted decisively, immediately leading his army to attack a player’s army at the 5 o’clock position of the camp.
This player was an average-looking white male. He may have been a player who joined from the loser’s group, inexperienced in commanding an army, even less expecting an attack right from the start.
In contrast, Su Yu controlled his army skillfully, with perfect synergy among different types of soldiers, and smoothly architected and changed formation.
A perfect spearhead formation plunged into the chaotic formation of the white player, his army disintegrated upon the touch, much like a champion bullying an AI… no, the AI still has basic operating logic, this white player was even inferior than an AI.
In just half a minute, Su Yu completely crushed the white player’s army and slew him.
“Ding, you defeated player [Tomato]’s army and obtained Gold+2000.”
With Tomato’s army disappearing from the field, Su Yu’s troops only sacrificed 10 front-line heavy infantrymen, achieving a comprehensive victory!
Other players on the platform were, some observing quietly, some making tentative attacks on nearby armies, but most were focusing their attention on Su Yu’s army who had taken decisive actions.
Seeing Su Yu so effortlessly eliminate an enemy army, many players were on high alert! It seemed that they had encountered a true expert!
Since there was an expert present, naturally they needed to prioritize eliminating the expert. Otherwise, the expert already had a 2000 gold advantage, if they do not prioritize eliminating the expert, the snowball effect would continue to amplify!
Among all the players on the platform, six players tacitly surrounded Su Yu, while two players remained motionless, perhaps wanting to watch the show from the sideline.
…
Su Yu noticed the movements of the players on the platform, but he wasn’t concerned in the least.
Six player armies, even if they ganged up on Su Yu, he wouldn’t necessarily fear them.
He patted Morning Star who was on his shoulder lightly, “You head to the Icy Camp and exchange for a [Winter Mage], be quick!”
“Alright.” Morning Star nodded, turned into a streak of afterimage leaving Su Yu’s shoulder, and sprinted towards the camp.
She was part of Su Yu and could also use gold to exchange for troops in the camp, which was within the rules of the game.
As for Su Yu, the moment Morning Star left his shoulder, he commanded the army to charge towards the army at the 4 o’clock camp direction that was poised to strike.
His entire army turned into a wave of iron, stepping on the speed-up formation summoned by the mage troops, charging towards the enemy at high speed.
The player at the 4 o’clock camp direction appeared to be an Indian man, even wearing a Sikh turban which had a strong curry flavor.
Seeing Su Yu’s intense momentum, he thought of the white player’s miserable end just now, this Indian brother immediately retreated, intending to avoid the sharp edge for now.
However, what he didn’t expect was that Morning Star had already reached the Icy Camp effortlessly.
“Grandpa, I want to hire a [Winter Mage].” Morning Star very politely handed over the gold.
“Hello kitty! You want a [Winter Mage], right? I’ll give you the best one!” The old man in charge of the exchange affectionately stroked his goatee and said kindly.
“Ding, [Winter Mage Aexs] joined your army.”
A mage dressed in deep blue mage robe appeared next to Morning Star.
Morning Star jumped onto the roof of the camp to observe the situation, then shouted at the Winter Mage below, “Aexs, target that army at the 4 o’clock direction, unleash [Blizzard], maximise the range, it’s okay to sacrifice a bit of power.”
“Understood!” The Winter Mage held his wand high, closed his eyes and started to cast, a large piece of ice blue mana gathered around him, and finally released out using the wand as the fulcrum.
The Winter Mage was a fourth tier mage, naturally his spell effect was very significant.
Concentrating on expanding the range, the blizzard that filled the sky completely covered the Indian player’s army!
The Indian player initially wanted to retreat and avoid Su Yu’s attack, who knew that a violent blizzard would suddenly fall, the speed of his troops instantly dropped multiple levels, each person’s health was quickly declining, a large number were even frozen in place by the blizzard.
“How terrible!” The Indian player shouted, knowing his army probably would not escape Su Yu’s grasp.
Su Yu also didn’t disappoint Indian player’s “expectations”, the blizzard stopped just as the two armies were about to clash, he immediately led his army to charge in, like a hot knife through butter, swiftly annihilated the Indian player’s troops and concentrated fire to kill the Indian player.
“Ding, you defeated player [Snake Keeper]’s army and obtained Gold+2000.”
This battle was even smoother than the last one, after the battle ended, Su Yu’s army only lost 2 soldiers, most frontline soldiers were on the brink of losing all health and retreated to the back of the formation in time, avoiding their fate of being killed.
At the back of the formation, a dazzling holy light shone, the priest troops were running at full power, trying all they could to save every injured soldier.
…
Seeing Su Yu effortlessly deal with the Indian player’s army, other players on the platform became even more nervous.
Those two who initially didn’t act also started to move, the troops at 2 o’clock, 1 o’clock and 12 o’clock of the camp started to assemble on a small scale, simultaneously pressing towards Su Yu’s army.
The remaining troops at 9 o’clock, 8 o’clock, 7 o’clock, and 10 o’clock due to their distance from Su Yu and close proximity to the Icy Camp, they all marched towards the camp, prepared to first take down Su Yu’s Winter Mage.
The situation appeared to be hugely unfavorable to Su Yu.
But Su Yu didn’t panic at all.
He smiled slightly, used his mana to amplify his voice, and shouted at all the players on the platform, “The blue sky has died, the yellow heaven shall rise!”
Hearing this, the troops at 7 o’clock and 10 o’clock immediately stopped their advancement.
Because they were Chinese, and part of the “China Unified Front”. Su Yu’s code phrase identified himself and they quickly realized that they should not join others to attack Su Yu, but should assist Su Yu to defeat other armies on the platform.
Once they realized this, the entire situation took a dramatic turn.
