Chapter 182 A satisfying kill! An astonishing casualty ratio! The role of the healer!
"He really is a madman!"
The Three-Eyed Clan hadn't gone far; when the fighting started, they had already turned back and were watching from a distance.
When they saw that the human combat officers had actually started fighting the centaurs without any hesitation, and that the battle had become extremely fierce with many people dying on both sides, the expressions of everyone in the Three-Eyed Clan changed one after another.
Because they were just a hair's breadth away... Now, those are the ones fighting on that battlefield.
And they...
I don't want to fight.
What are the benefits of getting it?
If it's a war of annihilation ordered by higher-ups, then there's nothing to say; fight if necessary, kill if necessary. Because that's how you eliminate the enemy at its root.
But right now, this is just a skirmish between their two cities. What good would it do them to fight tooth and nail to defeat humanity?
Jindong City is definitely not to be occupied; the ceasefire agreement is ultimately for the greater good.
Besides, what good would it do to occupy an ordinary human city?
As for dungeon resources... humans already have the smallest living space and occupy very few dungeon resources. Even if they could take them all, it wouldn't bring them any real improvement.
What's more... there's also a centaur clan eyeing us covetously from the sidelines?
The centaurs don't show up when fighting, but when it comes to dividing up resources, who can guarantee that the centaurs won't interfere?
So from the very beginning, they never intended to actually fight with humans.
They came over just to make a show of it, trying to force these people to submit.
But little did they expect that the newly appointed director of the Combat Department was a madman!
"These centaur brutes are dumbfounded now, aren't they?"
The Three-Eyed Clan leader's expression softened considerably, and he sneered.
Being forced to retreat by humans, especially in front of everyone, made him extremely angry.
He even sensed a subtle change in the way his subordinates looked at him, which made him very angry.
But now, humans are really fighting the centaurs, and it looks like they're going all out, truly risking their lives...
That would be completely different.
Judging from the lingering fear on his subordinates' faces, he knew that the lost prestige had been regained.
"But is it really okay for humans to do this? Judging from their actions, they seem to intend to leave the centaurs behind... Will the centaurs let this go after suffering such heavy losses?"
"A three-eyed tribesman said in a low voice."
"What does this have to do with us? Let them fight if they want, it would be best if they all died together... Just watch."
Another three-eyed tribesman squinted and said.
Everyone nodded, watching from a distance without approaching.
...
"You killed us, and our race will never let this go!!!"
The centaur leader, whose name was Geshe, grinned furiously: "My people will definitely retaliate against you!"
"Then let's move on. Bring on whatever revenge you want."
Cai Chen remained unmoved, his expression indifferent: "But no matter how you retaliate, it has nothing to do with the dead."
He swung his sword even faster, and terrifying damage kept emanating from the centaur leader's head.
Clearly, he had made up his mind to kill the other party completely.
"Madman, madman!!!"
The leader was furious and finally could not hold back any longer. He roared and a huge shield of light appeared on his body, forcing Cai Chen back for a moment.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, he held something in his hand. His teeth were clenched, and his eyes were bloodshot: "You wait, you wait! This isn't over. You will pay the price for your madness!!"
After saying that, he violently tore open the random teleportation scroll in his hand.
The tide has turned.
The centaurs didn't come in large numbers, only a little over a thousand, and they hadn't prepared for war. The humans, on the other hand, were caught off guard by the Three-Eyed Clan, who were already on high alert, and their entire formation was thrown into chaos.
In such a large-scale war, without unified command, it is like a disorganized mess.
Unless someone is so powerful that they can single-handedly take on an entire army, it's difficult for them to influence the overall situation.
Clearly, although the centaurs were individually stronger than the humans, they were still being overwhelmed by the humans in this situation, and more than half of their thousand-plus members had already died.
As for professionals, as long as they don't die, their combat power will hardly be reduced... So whichever side suffers more casualties faster, the other side's advantage will accumulate rapidly like a snowball.
Half of them died in just over ten minutes, and the remaining people might not even last five minutes!
So he had to escape!
He wants to go back, reorganize his army, and then return to avenge himself!
That's what the leader was thinking.
When Cai Chen saw his actions, he didn't rush to stop him; he just watched coldly.
The opponent successfully tore open the scroll in his hand, and then disappeared in a flash of white light.
Almost immediately after the first white light appeared, another white light appeared five meters away from where the first one had disappeared. Then, the figure of the centaur leader, his face contorted with grief and madness, emerged from that white light.
The centaur leader's grief was still etched on his face when, in the next moment, his expression froze.
Cai Chen said calmly, "If I say I'll kill you, I mean I'll kill you. You can't escape."
The centaur leader immediately realized something, his eyes widening: "A barrier? When?"
The barrier is one of the four skills Qin Fang gave Cai Chen... It comes from the legendary item 'Invisible Domain'!
Faced with the leader's questioning, Cai Chen did not have the bad habit of explaining things to the enemy.
"Don't think too much about it, just set off on your journey... You centaurs also have the concept of reincarnation, right?"
He asked a question out of curiosity, but the next moment he drew his sword and started slashing, without waiting for the other person's reply.
The centaur leader panicked. Without hesitation, he turned and ran outside.
Its four hooves flew like the wind.
Almost instantly, with a thud, he crashed headfirst into an invisible barrier.
A damage value of -1 even appeared above his head.
He staggered and was forced to stop.
Then his face turned deathly pale.
He knew there was a barrier, but he didn't expect it to be a completely sealed barrier... and it was only twenty meters away from him.
In other words... the moment the other person met his gaze, they had already made up their mind not to let him leave.
He turned his head, his face pale, only to be met with Cai Chen's knife.
He opened his mouth as if to say something more.
Cai Chen slashed fiercely, while calmly saying, "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it."
Pfft pfft pfft...
Horrible damage keeps appearing.
His health was already low, and now most of the centaurs on the outer perimeter were dead, some of whom had already turned and fled, being hunted down by humans. Who would care about him anymore?
And even if we wanted to, we couldn't... because there's a barrier between us.
So less than twenty seconds later.
As Cai Chen's final strike landed, the centaur leader, who was still roaring madly, had his health bar emptied. The next instant, the longsword fell without hindrance, easily severing his head with a soft thud.
Blood spurted out.
This centaur leader, who never believed that weak humans would dare to truly raise their swords against the centaurs, was thus beheaded!
...
This battle lasted shorter than expected.
The fighting stopped in no more than twenty minutes.
Blood flowed like rivers on the ground, and the mangled corpses of centaurs lay staring wide-eyed, their deaths unresolved.
Numerous clusters of light burst across the ground.
Cai Chen stood in the middle of the battlefield, his body stained with blood, but his expression was calm and composed.
"Hahaha!! Awesome!! This is the most awesome moment of my life! I'd die happy even if I died right now!!"
A member of the combat division, covered in blood, was laughing loudly.
"I thought the alien race was so powerful, but it turns out they can die if they're killed?"
Someone sneered, a chilling light flashing in their eyes.
"What have we been afraid of all these years?"
Someone asked through gritted teeth.
"Isn't it Zhu Dong? That human traitor! He always tries to stop us by threatening to break the ceasefire agreement! Otherwise, why would we have to put up with these alien races for so many years?!"
Some people were furious.
They are all different.
But without a doubt... after this bloody battle, everyone's fear and psychological trauma of the alien race vanished in the face of the centaur corpses.
...Is this the centaur race they've always feared?
The human professionals who had watched the whole thing from a distance all stared wide-eyed and gaped, but at the same time, many more had a strange excitement and exhilaration on their faces!
"Good, good! Well done!!!"
Some people were both crying and laughing: "Kill these bastards!! But why did it take so long to retaliate? Why?!"
He was sobbing uncontrollably, clearly indicating that he harbored some deep-seated hatred towards the foreign race.
But this is normal... Over the years, humans have been bullied and oppressed by alien races, and many human professionals have also been harmed by them.
The Zhu Dong regime, however, always tried to smooth things over and never dared to truly confront the foreign powers.
This has resulted in many humans having no way to retaliate against other races, even if they have deep-seated hatred for them.
Of course, there are also some people who, in a fit of rage, kill other races... but those are a minority, and they are private acts.
This is the first time in many years that the authorities have intervened and directly engaged in a bloodbath with the other side, like today!
An indescribable excitement and exhilaration filled the heart of every human being.
Foreign races despise and humiliate humanity, and every human being suffers as a result.
In the secret realm, the monsters you painstakingly hunt are stolen by other races; in the town, you finally find a table to eat when you're starving, only to have it snatched away by other races; you set up a small stall to sell equipment, only to be forced to buy from them by other races; even just walking peacefully on the street, you might have your girlfriend or sister kidnapped by other races...
This has nothing to do with honor.
Rather, it is a matter of vital interests and even survival!
And no one, being human, can escape it.
They had tasted this helplessness, this despair, this anger for many years.
And today, for the first time ever, I finally felt a sense of triumph!
How could they not be excited and thrilled?
"This is all thanks to the new director! That Director Cai is the real qualified director! ...I'm going back to apply to join the Combat Division!!"
"I want to join the Combat Division too! This is the Combat Division I've always dreamed of!"
"Damn it, I've had enough of that incompetence from the alien races. Now, I finally have a chance to vent my frustrations!!"
The professionals behind were excited and overwhelmed with emotion.
Cai Chen obviously didn't expect that a battle would bring an unexpected surprise, making many civilian professionals want to join the Professional Combat Division.
At that moment, he was listening to his subordinates report on the deaths.
"The enemy suffered 973 casualties, and some fled as soon as they sensed something was wrong, so we didn't pursue them. Our side... suffered 234 casualties."
The person in charge of statistics quickly reported to Cai Chen.
Cai Chen was slightly taken aback: "Only two hundred or so people were killed?"
This was far less than he had expected.
It's important to know that, in comparison, most centaurs are stronger than humans.
Even if they had the advantage and caught the enemy off guard, the centaurs fought back desperately... so shouldn't there have been so few casualties?
"It seems like a mysterious support character stepped in, providing incredibly powerful healing! They can even restore over 100,000 HP in one go, constantly focusing on those with low HP... This has effectively controlled the mortality rate!"
The person giving the report seemed somewhat excited.
Several captains around Cai Chen nodded quickly.
"Yes, I just got a heal. My health was almost gone, and I thought I was going to die... but it instantly restored me to full health. I was stunned!"
"Me too! Me too!"
"But I don't know who it is... I just asked those priests, and none of them have that much milk production..."
More than 100,000 units of milk?
Even Cai Chen was stunned for a moment.
But they soon realized what was going on.
"Yan, did you do this?"
He asked in a very low voice.
Soon after, Lin Fan's voice rang in his ears: "You guys have the advantage, and it seems like I don't need to be on the front lines, so I can only help out to the best of my ability... It's a pity I'm not a professional support player. If I were here, I doubt anyone would have died."
Lin Fan said with some regret.
This is how terrifying a super healer can be in a medium-sized war.
Bai Yangyang, as a professional epic-level healer, may not be as well-rounded as Qin Yue in terms of skill versatility because she lacks damage output.
But when it comes to milk production... Qin Yue is really not as good as her.
Not only does it have continuous healing skills and single-target healing skills, but it also has instant group healing skills and continuous group healing skills!
In addition, there's the passive ability, Time Prison Ruins...
This increased her milk production to an alarming level!
Basically, as long as the opponent's damage isn't enough to kill her instantly, she can recover her health.
She is undoubtedly the number one healer in the park right now, besides Qin Fang.
Cai Chen was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
He had heard of him, but it was a pity he had never met him...
"I reckon he's among those professionals behind us... but he doesn't seem to want to show himself... If we can bring him into the Combat Division, our brothers' casualties will be reduced significantly!"
Someone excitedly suggested it to Cai Chen.
Cai Chen snapped out of his reverie: "Okay, I understand. Let's try our best... We'll talk about this later. Now, let's clean up the battlefield. And then... we'll wait for the second battle."
Upon hearing Cai Chen's words, everyone was stunned for a moment before coming to their senses.
Yes, there's a high probability there will be a second battle.
After all, the centaurs lost nearly a thousand lives here this time, including a third-tier exceptional professional.
They can't just let this go.
Thinking of this, everyone in the Combat Division took a deep breath, their eyes revealing determination.
...In any case, now that the fighting has begun, there's no turning back.
Come if you want.
After a bloody battle, everyone's fighting spirit had been ignited.
The last bit of anxiety in my heart had disappeared.
Since the centaurs want to fight, let's fight them to our hearts' content!
Even if I die in battle later, it doesn't matter.
At least I can finally let out the pent-up frustration that's been building up inside me for years!
They quickly issued orders: those who restored health restored health, those who replenished stamina replenished stamina, and those who cleaned up the battlefield.
Prepare for the centaur's retaliation.
...
at the same time.
The centaurs were stunned by the sudden news.
