Upon learning this new skill, Commander Zhou Jin's heart skipped a beat!
The venom sprayed out in a fan shape, and the six heads almost covered the surrounding ground.
There were even two heads spewing venom that enveloped the two mage camps.
Fortunately, Liu Nian was standing in the last row and was not injured. Apart from a few unlucky ones who were hit, almost none of the mages in this row were injured.
However, the central disaster area suffered greatly, as the venom enveloped them like a torrential downpour.
The disadvantage of an overly dense formation is that it makes evacuation very difficult.
Often, people are packed together, and in the end, no one can escape the area covered by the venom.
Venom is a disease-type injury, which can be dispelled by a priest's dispel and a druid's Blessing of Nature.
However, there were too many wounded, and the healers couldn't save them all. They could only prioritize disabling mages and shield guards.
Other professions will now test their ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
The guild is equipped with an antidote; those who react quickly can immediately take out the antidote and drink it on the spot.
Some people had the venom splashed on their faces, and they cried out in pain as they knelt on the ground, rolled around on the ground a few times, and then stopped moving.
After he lowered his hands, people noticed that his face had been completely corroded by the venom, revealing the pale facial bones underneath.
This secretly alarmed Liu Nian, as the venom's potency was comparable to that of Andariel.
One spit attack hit half of the two ranged legions, severely damaging their ranged capabilities.
Aside from a few healers who were assigned to care for shield guards, the rest of the healing class was almost entirely focused on rescuing ranged units, who were fewer in number and more expensive.
As for melee combat, those with slow reflexes are on their own; there's no way they'll take care of you!
Those who were directly hit by the venom resisted for more than ten seconds before dying from the poison. Those who were soaked in the toxic ground fared slightly better, but they also succumbed to the poison after a short time.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the shield guard quickly pulled the multi-headed lizard away to a nearby non-toxic open area.
Many players who couldn't escape in time were trampled underfoot by the multi-headed lizards, causing the right flank formation to collapse.
It was because of his actions that many melee classes were able to escape.
However, not everyone had the antidote, and many people who survived the poisonous swamp soon died from the poison.
When the multi-headed lizard uses its skill, it can severely injure at least half of the melee classes around it. Many of them are not killed on the spot, but are poisoned to death by the subsequent venom.
However, having learned from this experience, the survival rate of subsequent troops will be much higher. They will be more vigilant in such situations and will promptly disperse or detoxify the poison.
This is also the predicament of pioneering teams. In many cases, you don't know the boss's skills, and after being hit, you have to figure out how to arrange the subsequent work to ensure the team's maximum survival.
The first and second regiments were completely decimated, and the third regiment was so weak that everyone was too afraid to go in and needed to recover their health.
The healer's mana bar is almost empty and needs to be restored.
A few ranged units were severely contaminated by the venom and were unable to continue fighting.
Those who were still alive were terrified. Was this the boss's power?
This only took a short time to reveal the extent of the staff reductions.
Can we really defeat this boss?
Will I be able to get back alive?
For a time, people were filled with anxiety and morale plummeted.
Looking at the fearful expressions on the faces of the many people around him, Zhou Jin knew that he needed to boost morale, otherwise the team would fall apart if people were not united.
He shouted, "Every living person can receive two hundred crowns and a supplies card."
The other leaders knew they needed to win people's hearts, so they followed Zhou Jin's example and spent a lot of money to appease their subordinates.
The heavy investment boosted the team's morale somewhat, preventing it from collapsing on the spot.
However, just as one problem subsided, another arose, and new issues surfaced.
The morale issue isn't the worst thing; the worst thing is having to consider who to send out next.
The fate of solo players and small groups is known to the leaders of large groups. Currently, only one of the multi-headed lizard's skills has been revealed, far from reaching the ideal state.
Without sufficient incentive, the main force will not rush forward; otherwise, if their personal guards are scattered, they will definitely be divided up by other teams.
Moreover, those entering the city now are their respective vanguard troops, most of whom are their own loyal followers.
As more people migrate into the city, they will need to be protected.
There are many places where people are needed, and it's impossible for someone to be foolish enough to become someone else's stepping stone.
Moreover, this is just a loose alliance. Everyone has only elected you as the temporary commander. Once you harm the interests of others, you will be nothing.
No one who can sit in the position of guild leader is a fool.
Everyone had their own agenda, and no one expressed their opinion. They were all waiting to see how Zhou Jin would allocate the manpower, hoping that someone would be taken advantage of and lead the charge.
There are currently seven melee groups and one semi-ranged group, belonging to six large guilds.
This is one of the reasons why Zhou Jin dared not rashly make a move against Liu Nian; half of the regimental commanders knew Liu Nian and stood up to help him out.
Zhou Jin knew this was a difficult matter, but after looking around, he still spoke up: "My own regiment will go first, who will take the other two regiments?"
I'll fill it in myself first, then you won't have anything to say, right?
This was a last resort; the position of commander was a hot potato, and if he didn't step up, internal strife would erupt at any moment.
The two regiments behind you should figure out how to handle this conflict yourselves.
After the other five team leaders argued for a while without reaching a conclusion, Zhou Jin interrupted them.
“The Shield Guards are about to collapse. Everyone, make a decision soon,” Zhou Jin interrupted their argument, pointing at the crowd.
Sure enough, after withstanding dozens of attacks, even with his exceptional physique, he was somewhat exhausted and his movements became much slower.
Ultimately, it was decided that another group with whom Chen Ling and Zhou Jin had a prior relationship would take over.
We considered sending twenty people from each guild, but a team that wasn't working together effectively couldn't play a significant role, so we ultimately abandoned that idea.
Once the manpower issue was resolved, the secondary tank began to take over the position of shield guard.
Taunt is undoubtedly the best skill for pulling mobs. After the off-tank has taken their position, they should activate the taunt skill first.
Enraged by the mockery, the multi-headed lizard rammed its six heads violently against the shield guard.
In response to its powerful physical attack capabilities, the off-tank has embedded shield spikes in its shield, greatly increasing the speed at which aggro is generated.
The shield spike can be crafted by players with the blacksmith profession, and its effect is to reflect damage back to the opponent when attacked.
Of course, there is a prerequisite: the opponent must hit the shield for it to be effective.
Similarly, the shield's defense only applies when an attack hits it; if the attack hits armor, only the armor's defense is considered.
Three minutes later, the off-tank successfully established a stable aggro level, and the three raid members entered the fray while the main tank moved aside to replenish their stamina.
After the three teams completed their task assignments, the second round of attack and defense officially began.
