Chapter 147
The Warlock's Demonic Enslavement is different from other professions' skills. Most professional skills cannot be upgraded, and the damage it can deal depends entirely on the player's level and equipment quality.
However, Demonic Slavery is an exception.
At level 1, Demon Slave can only summon one demon to serve the player at a time; at level 2, it can summon two demons at a time; at level 3, it can summon four demons at a time; at level 4, it can summon six demons at a time... and so on, until it reaches level 10 and enters the Breakthrough state.
There is only one way to upgrade, which is to buy skill books and gems of the same type.
Smashing it is not that easy. Like most games, there is a failure rate and it is an extremely resource-intensive upgrade process.
For example, to upgrade from level 2 to level 3, theoretically, you only need to feed 2+3=5 "Demon Slavery" skills and 5 gems of corresponding quality. However, due to failures in the process, players basically need to prepare an additional 30%-50% of resources as backup.
So even though Demonic Slavery isn't a rare skill, its upgrade is rare!
Whoever raises his level will gain a firm foothold in the warlock circle.
Obviously, Qingshui is the best in the same profession.
No one knew where he got so many skill books and expensive gems, let alone how he managed to raise the Demon Slavery to such a high level in such a low-key manner. After all, no one had ever seen him show off this skill when they were on a dungeon together.
The members of Qingyaozhishang were greatly shocked, and the players of Vazetilan on the other side of the Laiasi River were even more incredulous.
Hundreds of demons pushed the drowning enemies into the river. The players of Vazetilan stood on the other side, not knowing whether to go or not.
"Edie, what should we do? The bridge was bombed, and they have a sorcerer guarding it. How are we going to get across?" someone asked anxiously.
Edie's brows turned cold, and her cold gaze cut the questioner's face like a blade: "What do you say?"
These three light words were heavier than ice.
Caroline glanced at the man and smiled, "He's just a sorcerer. What's there to be afraid of? If he dies, he dies. We have plenty of people."
His companion, Kingsley, swung his sword and snorted, "I was worried they wouldn't resist. Otherwise, it would be pointless."
Upon hearing this, the captains of each team understood and ordered the team behind them: "Cross the river!!!"
The team rushed into the river in a mighty force, and the people on Qingyaozhishang raised their weapons to fight back.
This kind of large-scale battle would have been dazzling on land, but now on the river bank, the river was surging, heads were floating, and skills were still rampaging on the river... For a moment, people, rivers, and skill special effects were all mixed together.
Relying on the advance layout on the riverside and the geographical advantage on the shore, Qingyao gained the upper hand and eliminated batch after batch of enemies who rushed into the river.
The fight was going on with gusto when suddenly, Latiao Xiaohuahua, who was standing outside the game healing everyone, exclaimed in the voice chat: "Demon Tribe Teleportation Array!!!"
What? Teleportation array?! Where is it?!
Everyone was startled and quickly withdrew their hands and looked back. They looked in the direction where Latiao Xiaohuahua was staring, and saw that more than 100 meters away from them, dozens of green light circles had appeared out of nowhere!
Recalling that Mo Se had warned them that they must be wary of the demon's teleportation array, which could transport teams through the air. If they encountered it, they must destroy the teleportation array.
Damn it, they were fooled. They were so busy dealing with the people in the river that they didn't pay any attention to the situation on the demon side.
Ripe Tomato frowned and rushed towards the teleportation array with his sword in hand: "I'm going to stop the people teleporting here!"
Bobo Chicken followed closely behind: "I'm going too!"
How could two people alone be enough? Hunter Pants. Crotch Hidden Thunder, He Ye Xiaoxiao and several other team members hurriedly chased after them.
By the time they arrived, the teleportation array had already started operating.
The light green halo flickered and disappeared, and after a few seconds, countless demons holding weapons rushed out of the light circle.
"Fuck, so fast!"
The ripe tomato immediately launched a furious group attack, harvesting the heads of the demons that stepped onto the river bank one by one. The others were not to be outdone and used their skills to block them.
However, with just over a dozen of them, how could they stop the demon clan's massive army?
Soon the ripe tomato could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground unwillingly after being pierced through the chest by a demon's spear.
Boboji's shield was also chopped into pieces by the besieging demons, and its health bar was soon emptied.
Those who came to stop them fell one after another, and the demons rushed towards the royal city with an unstoppable momentum.
If one corner of the defense line collapses, people on other lines will bear greater pressure.
Now that the demons were no longer able to stop them, they had to block the Vazetilan players on the river surface and try their best to relieve the worries of the rear.
A variety of skills were released again by the river, but compared to before, the faces of the members of Qingyaozhishang were full of determination and perseverance at this moment.
Want to cross the river? Sure, if you can, just step over their corpses!
One skill after another was like a thousand horses galloping, carrying Qingyao straight up, and also carrying the determination of players from all over the continent to not give in, vowing to fight the enemy to the death on the Laiasi River!
Half an hour later, news came that Laiasijiang had fallen.
All the living people lowered their heads with mixed emotions.
Having lost another piece of the map, can they really win?
If they lost, would Pergas become a vassal state of the Vazetilan continent? Would they still be as free as before?
This is obviously impossible. A player affiliated with another continent must have limited authority.
Freedom is something that everyone yearns for.
They have already been looked down upon by people from other planets on Alman. Do they have to repeat the same mistakes and have to look at other people's faces in the game?
Everyone felt depressed and didn't know what to do next.
In the temporary field command post, many people looked at their backbone - Mo Se.
Xia Mo showed no expression. After closing the loss report sent by Qingshui, he turned to ask Taotao: "Where are you guys now?"
According to her expectations, it would only take half an hour at most to get from the Balla Valley to the Laiasi River. However, all the people who went straight up Qingyao died, and they did not arrive. Obviously, something went wrong in the middle.
Taotao replied quickly. After reading it, Xia Mo snorted in his heart.
Chasing the wind, it's them again.
Disrupting the fighter plane once could be considered an accident, and she would not pursue it, but if it happened a second time, she could not just sit back and watch.
Reply to Taotao: [Okay, separate from Zhulin Tingfeng and proceed to ambush at the Great Waterfall. The demons should be passing by there. Don't tell Zhulin Tingfeng about this. If he asks, just say you're heading back to the Royal City.]
The other side: [No problem]
She sent Taotao and the others away and got a set of videos from Taotao. Without saying a word, she sent a golden pigeon to the palace.
She didn't say how to deal with them, but King Cyril would tell Zhufeng and the others what the consequences would be for disobeying military orders.
This side of the waterfall.
When Taotao arrived with a guild, they found that everywhere, whether it was cliffs, grass or pools, was full of people hiding!
Looking around, it is estimated that there are at least 10,000 people hiding here.
It seems that this is the third line of defense of the mainland. Tao Tao immediately understood and commanded: "Spread out and find a place to hide."
After saying that, she found a small hole on the cliff, climbed up, and used the surrounding branches to cover herself.
This angle is perfect for her. As long as an enemy appears at the intersection ahead, she can shoot her arrow immediately.
She wasn't the only one who shared the same idea. Not far from her little hole, the swordsman whispered, "You guys are coming here too?"
She had once teamed up with the swordsman on a sea mission, and Taotao knew it was her as soon as she heard the voice.
She was from Luanshi Shengge. Everyone on the continent knew about Luanshi Shengge's bloody battle at Border Line No. 2. Taotao looked at her with both admiration and surprise: "Why are you here?"
Shouldn't they be resurrected and return to the royal city?
The swordsman lowered his voice and said, "After we died at the border, Mo Se asked us to revive immediately. He then gave me this address and asked me to bring people here immediately."
It would take about 8 hours to walk from the Royal City to the Great Falls without teleportation. However, considering the urgency of the war, several teleportation points were temporarily added in advance, which shortened the travel time to 1 hour.
One hour was enough time for Swordsman and his group of first-line fighters to reach the waterfall.
Thinking of this, Taotao admired Mo Se's plan a little.
When they learned that players from the Vazetilan continent were about to attack, most of the players prepared for battle, but she was the only one who started making plans in advance in places the players could not have imagined.
The newly added teleportation point is part of the layout, and the big waterfall is an even more important part of her layout.
After all, it is on their own continent. When they die and are resurrected, they can just run over here. Unlike the players and demons of Vazetilan, they have to go back to their continent when they die, and they have to go through Border Line No. 2 if they want to come over.
Not only did the long journey take a long time, but it also greatly reduced the speed at which they could replenish their personnel.
The number of people in front of them was constantly decreasing. It seemed that the so-called advantage in numbers had long been offset by the lengthening distance.
As for why the waterfall is also an ingenious part, it is because Mo Se not only added a teleportation point for his side, but also destroyed the teleportation array that the demons secretly drew on the continent.
There were many teleportation arrays, but after an intensive search by players a few days ago, they found hundreds of them, which were then destroyed and blocked by her.
There was only one teleportation array that she kept.
That's the one at Great Falls.
The Great Waterfall is a gourd-shaped terrain, easy to get in but difficult to get out. The demons only have this one teleportation array left on the continent, so they can only go this way.
"She wants us to catch all the demons here." Taotao's eyes flickered, as if she saw hope.

In the Vazetilan camp, Arthur looked at the players who were constantly being consumed and hesitated: "Edie, more and more of us are dying. How about slowing down the process?"
"Slow down?" Before Edie could reply, the hot-tempered Kingsley spoke first. "We have 62 million people, and their highest number online is only 40 million. Slow down!"
Arthur looked troubled. "But we've also suffered heavy losses. We lost 100,000 people on Border Line 2, and another 200,000 on the Laiasi River. These dead players haven't arrived yet. If this continues, the combat power left on the Pergas Continent will dwindle."
"Arthur." Edie looked at him calmly. "You are the son of an admiral from the Capital Planet. How can you back down in front of someone so inferior? If you do that, how will your future subordinates feel?"
Arthur bit his lip and remained silent.
"Don't worry, Arthur," Caroline smiled and stepped forward, patting his shoulder. "We still have 2 million demons assisting us. They can set up teleportation arrays and clear the way for us. Just wait. Once they capture the first few maps, the rest will be easy for us."
Is that so? Arthur looked up, from her to the others.
"Okay... I'll listen to you..." he said.
