"What should we say? Should we fight or not?" Wang Gang was also undecided.
As a shield bearer, he couldn't hold back so many wild boars, but he also felt it was a waste to give up so much fresh meat.
The others clearly shared his thoughts, and they also looked conflicted.
"Why don't we give it a try?" Liu Nian asked, seeing the conflicted expressions on everyone's faces.
"Gang, try to hold the princess back. I'll take care of the other four followers. Priest, watch out for Gang. The rest of you, focus your fire on the outermost boar. Let's try to take one down first so we can at least complete the mission."
Without further ado, after arranging the tactics, Wang Gang and Liu Nian headed straight for the group of wild boars.
Seeing that someone had trespassed on her territory, the princess grumbled and led her people to attack the two.
The curse that reduced power was cast on the pigs first, and the affected wild boars abandoned Wang Gang and came towards Liu Niangong.
Seeing them all rushing towards Liu Nian, Wang Gang mocked and attacked, his target being the Wild Boar Princess.
The princess, having been taunted, abandoned Liu Nian and turned to charge like a wild boar, hurtling straight toward Wang Gang like an arrow released from a bow.
Wang Gang, a veteran of countless battles, gripped his shield tightly, tilting it at an angle to absorb the force. As soon as he got into position, a powerful impact struck his shield.
Wang Gang was knocked back several steps by the force, but finally regained his balance. He then launched a shield strike, which smashed into the face of the reckless princess.
While increasing the princess's hatred level, it also causes slight damage to the princess.
Fortunately, the princess's power was reduced, and while she was knocked back, her shield successfully defended.
Seeing that his health hadn't decreased much and was still within an acceptable range, Wang Gang felt relieved and focused all his attention on defending against the princess's next attack.
Liu Nian was now surrounded by the wild boars, and he had to constantly adjust his position to keep the backs of the wild boars facing the group.
With the reduction in offense and defense, and his health not decreasing significantly under his defense, Liu Nian took the initiative to distance himself from Wang Gang to avoid the two of them overlapping.
Once Liu Nian had secured the pigs' aggro, the Frost Mage unleashed his Frostbolt.
Her main responsibility is to cast this skill on each of the wild boars one by one, reducing their movement speed and attack speed.
The slower the attack speed, the less pressure the healers will face, and the higher the defensive margin of the shield guards.
Following suit, Ye Muli used one of his only two skills, Thunder Strike, an area-of-effect attack that could also reduce the boar's speed.
The attack speed reduction skill effects should be cumulative, and Liu Nian instinctively noticed that the wild boar's attack speed had decreased significantly again.
The protective effect is truly a divine skill, shielding Liu Nian from tons of damage.
With the help of his teammates, Liu Nian's defensive capabilities were significantly enhanced, and his health remained at a healthy level.
Seeing that everyone had already made their move, the archer was not to be outdone and applied a hunter's mark to the wild boar next to him. This mark would increase the damage of ranged physical attacks.
The rest of the men surrounded the boar and attacked it, leaving the archers with firing trajectories.
With no obstruction, arrows rained down on the wild boar, one per second.
The thief He Zeyu trailed behind; his invisibility would reduce his movement speed.
He had already stealthily crept up to the side of the wild boar and launched a sneak attack on its kidneys. However, due to the significant level difference, his attack could only stun the wild boar for three seconds.
He would then accumulate stars each time he used a skill, up to a maximum of five stars, which was a unique attack method for the Wanderer class.
They don't have a mana bar; they rely on an energy bar to activate skills, but each skill activation consumes stamina and satiety.
This is similar to melee classes like warriors.
As for archers, they, like mages, have mana bars and use magic points to cast spells.
After breaking stealth, he chose to use the cutting skill, which would increase his attack speed.
After he uses the Cut, the number of stars he just accumulated is reset. If he wants to use the finishing move, he has to accumulate stars again. The more stars he has, the more damage he will deal.
If we're talking about burst damage, assassins are more explosive than thieves.
However, thieves are more skilled than assassins, possessing the ability to pick locks and dismantle traps, as well as the ability to steal.
With each of the Eight Immortals displaying their unique abilities, the wild boar was quickly reduced to one less than others.
While pulling the monsters, Liu Nian kept an eye on Wang Gang. Elite units were quite fierce, and he needed to be ready to take over if Wang Gang got injured.
Tang Tongbi also took special care of Wang Gang, after all, her princess attributes were there, and she would use her skills from time to time to restore Wang Gang's lost health.
The unexpected event occurred when the first wild boar fell. After it fell, the other wild boars' enraged skill was triggered, and their attack speed and attack power increased significantly.
Liu Nian was doing alright, but the sudden increase in attack power made Wang Gang's side a bit flustered.
To make matters worse, he was accidentally knocked to the ground by the princess.
Seeing the critical situation, Tang Tongbi cried out in alarm.
Seeing the princess pin Wang Gang down, Liu Nian broke free from the attacks of the other wild boars and charged towards Wang Gang without saying a word.
Fortunately, the hatred remained stable, and the wild boar behind Liu Nian continued to follow.
Although Wang Gang fell to the ground, he remained calm, his shield firmly pressed against the princess's head, preventing it from attacking his vital parts.
The princess's head clattered against the shield, but before it could attack again, Liu Nian stabbed her in the buttocks.
It is not very harmful, but it is extremely insulting.
With bloodshot eyes, the princess turned and lunged at Liu Nian.
Liu Nian took the opportunity to pull it away, away from Wang Gang.
Wang Gang, as expected of the deputy regimental commander, was experienced in combat. He did a somersault to his feet, taunted one of the wild boar's henchmen, and then used his shield to pull another wild boar back.
The remaining wild boar was the secondary target from before, and its health had dropped by more than half. The group worked together to kill it first.
Now it's Liu Nian's turn to pull the princess, while the other wild boar kings are pulling her.
The fact that they narrowly escaped this ordeal brought a sigh of relief to everyone. The situation had been critical, and everyone was on tenterhooks, fearing that something terrible might happen.
Without the shield bearers holding back the boars, all of them, these fragile characters, would have been doomed. Just thinking about it is terrifying.
However, the crisis is not over yet. After the ordeal, the health of both shieldbearers has dropped below the safety threshold, and the priest simply cannot take care of them.
At this moment, Liu Nian spoke up, telling Tang Tongbi to take care of Wang Gang first, while he took out a roll of bandage from his pocket and bandaged himself.
The act of bandaging is a guiding action that lasts for five seconds. During these five seconds, the patient cannot make any other movements, otherwise the treatment effect will be interrupted.
The princess's constant pouting interrupted the action, but fortunately, the bandaging was not interrupted, and Liu Nian continued to recover health.
However, the original five-second healing time was reduced to three seconds, and the remaining two seconds were wasted.
Fortunately, Liu Nian's total health was high enough that, even after accounting for the health lost due to the princess's attack, the bandage still restored more than 100 health points.
However, although bandages are convenient, Liu Nian noticed that there was a debuff effect, and he could not use bandages again for three minutes.
No problem, Wang Gang has already fully restored Liu Nian's health, and the next second, he casts a life-saving spell on Liu Nian, representing the priest.
After the crisis was resolved, the group proceeded steadily and successfully wiped out all the wild boars.
The princess fell unwillingly, leaving behind a pile of loot. The crowd, seeing this, began to get excited, wondering if there was any usable equipment among them.
