The Dunbuya City Front Army and the Skork Resistance Army accomplished an unprecedented feat - for the first time, they defeated the Gray Lizard Hunters of [Broken Head Cliff] with a high casualty ratio of over 1:5. They wiped out a total of 500 Gray Lizard Hunters at the cost of less than 40 deaths and more than 100 injuries.

Among them, three people played a decisive role in this fierce battle——

First of all, there was His Highness Philip Tolan, the Holy Son of the Cult of Plenty. Not only did he help a large number of Skork warriors to provide cover in the early stage of luring the enemy, creating an extremely ideal ambush environment for them, but after the real fighting began, he also deployed the [Divine Magic Array·Huize] with himself as the 'core', and single-handedly supported nearly a thousand warriors for as long as twenty minutes, bringing the role of the epic-level God's Favored One to the fullest and dominating the entire battlefield.

Secondly, there was the alchemist of Dunbuya City, Luna Lynch, who was hailed as [Loga] by countless Skolks. She successfully paralyzed the enemy through the two alchemical items [Activated Flame] and [Strange Echo], creating a one-sided fog of war, and cooperated with Mo Tan to completely block the intelligence gathering capabilities of the five hundred gray lizard hunters. The first batch of gray lizard hunters who died did not even react until they died. Why would those enemies who had been engulfed in flames rush back alive and kicking to chop themselves?

The final hero was Danon Dan, an elderly lizardman who was one of the deputy commanders of the Gray Lizard Hunters, in charge of the liaison between [Cliff of Broken Head] and [Dumbuya City] and was deeply trusted by the Evil Eye King.

That's right. Although he was the leader of the Gray Lizard Hunters, Danon was the only one who realized that something was wrong and that this was a trap before Mo Tan admitted it. He betrayed his companions and deliberately issued a death order at the last moment called "disperse and cooperate with friendly forces to clean up the battlefield and kill the fish that escaped the net". In fact, it completely dismantled the formation of the entire army, allowing the Gray Lizard Hunters to break up into small pieces and allowing the enemy to easily use their numerical advantage.

This was a betrayal that was not uncommon among the blood barbarians, but it should never have happened to Danon. You have to know that the most important reason why the Evil Eye King Fedor sent him was that in addition to being in awe of him, Danon also admired his methods and ambitions, and was even loyal to the point of being willing to easily sacrifice himself for the ambition of the "king".

However, although Danon Dan was indeed extremely respectful of the Evil Eye King and was willing to sacrifice his life for him, after a simple trade-off, the old lizard finally chose to betray.

Because in his eyes, his grandson's life is much more precious than his own life.

Because when he realized that he had fallen into a trap, the destruction of these five hundred gray lizard hunters was already a foregone conclusion.

Just like Merav Howard, the lord of Likud City in the north of the Griffin Dynasty, the most dazzling jewel of the Howard family, and whose reputation in the country is second only to the royal sisters, Danon easily found a reasonable explanation for his betrayal when he still had concerns.

In any case, now that they have already penetrated deep into the city and are probably surrounded by the Skork resistance and the Dunbuya City front, cutting off their retreat, there is no chance of survival for the Gray Lizard Hunters under Danon who follow his lead. So since they are going to die anyway, why not fight for a future for their grandson?

He used the already predetermined fate of the five hundred gray lizard hunters around him and the three hundred gray lizard hunters in Dunbuya City to create a future for his grandson, whom he was most worried about.

As for his betrayal to the king, Danon simply chose to pay it with his life, and committed suicide before the five hundred gray lizard hunters were slaughtered.

"It's just that he chose to ignore the fact that he had no chance of surviving."

Mo Tan lowered his eyes and looked at the old lizard man who had long since died and was lying on the ground as if he was just asleep. He said lightly: "But he is a good grandfather."

Jenny shrugged noncommittally, but ultimately did not utter the word "naive" out loud.

"hehe."

Mo Tan, who knew very well what his mystic consultant was thinking, just smiled, then walked past Danon's body, followed the [Animated Flame] that was leading the way in front of him, and walked towards the largest building in the city - Skolk Hall - under the curious and fearful gazes of countless Skolk members.

Behind him followed the adjutant of Dunbuya City, Xia Liya Ain, the chief of Dunbuya City's scout force and communication network, Romeo and Zhu Guoye, and Jenny Beryl, who insisted that Mo Tan's idea was a bit naive but did not dislike this naivety.

As for the two epic masters under Mo Tan's command...

Philip had suffered a backlash from his divine arts due to over-consumption in the second half of the battle. Although he was a favored disciple of the Goddess of Fertility and had easily withstood the backlash, in order to avoid sequelae and permanent damage, and also to be able to join the battle as soon as possible in case of an unexpected situation, His Royal Highness had retreated to the rear to rest.

As the guardian knight of Heifan, Yizou, despite having consumed huge resources in the final stage of the fight, still persisted until the enemy was completely suppressed to zero before she could rest. She is currently cooperating with the soldiers of both sides to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded. Although she has not recovered to the point where she can fight normally, even if she only serves as free labor, the efficiency of this female knight is much higher than that of ordinary high-level knights.

In addition to Philip and Yizou, although strictly speaking he definitely belongs to the city of Dunbuya, the Son of Justice Avery, who stood on the side of Skolk and participated in the battle just now, is also having a hard time. You know, his highness's mission today is to "protect civilians", that is, the elderly, the weak, women and children in the Skolk stronghold, and ensuring the safety of everyone's life and property in the chaos is not an easy task even for an epic strongman.

It is important to mention here that although the 'Epic Level' is a huge watershed in the worldview of [The Realm of Innocence], and there will be a literal level crushing from this level, this crushing is basically based on a one-on-one duel. When the number of the weaker side is plural, this 'crushing' will become an 'absolute advantage'.

This advantage will make the strong invincible and unstoppable in the battle with the weak, but it may not allow them to turn the tide of the battle on their own and mow down the weak with unparalleled power.

As everyone knows, the Gray Lizard Hunters are the main elite force of [Cliff of Broken Heads]. The combat effectiveness they demonstrated in legion-level combat is far beyond the reach of ordinary high-level warriors. Because of this, although they ultimately failed to escape the fate of annihilation, they still caused huge trouble and consumption to Yizou, Philip and Avery.

That's right, although there are countless statements in a large number of communities and forums related to [Realm of Innocence] claiming that 'Epic' has a dominant performance over 'High-level', and this statement is not wrong in a strict sense, it is inevitable that many people mistakenly believe that an epic can cut off hundreds or thousands of high-level like cutting wheat.

Due to the need of duty, although he was very reluctant, Mo Tan, with an absolutely neutral personality, had built a virtual model when he first came to Dunbuya City. Although there was no huge data support from professional studios and clubs, it still achieved a considerable degree of completion based on his excessively profound experience compared to most players and the [Hundred Battles Six-Type Database] provided by Fiyali.

In summary, after putting aside the two levels of entry and intermediate which have no reference value, as well as the legendary level which has almost no data support, the model's analysis of high-level and epic aspects can already be initially used in actual combat.

For example, both are high-level. If the opponent of Philip, the Son of Fertility, is Black Brahma, then the former can indeed defeat a thousand enemies at the same time and mow down the enemy without any rivals.

However, if the opponent is replaced by the Gray Lizard Hunters of [Cliff of Broken Head], then in the case of a round-robin battle, Philip may begin to show signs of fatigue after killing fifty to one hundred and fifty Gray Lizard Hunters, and die before the two hundredth one; if the Gray Lizard Hunter group is allowed to fight and Philip cannot escape, then in front of five hundred Gray Lizard Hunters, leaving aside the trump cards that His Royal Highness the Son of God is bound to have, he can take away at most fifty before he dies.

Similarly, Avery, the Son of Justice, who is as strong as Philip but has a different fighting style, may be able to hold out for a little longer in the round-robin phase, but will also be defeated earlier in the opposing group battle. As for Izou Jielette, who is also at the epic level but weaker, she will perform worse than Avery.

Of course, the above data has no meaning for actual combat. After all... even if we put aside those complicated and profound things, both Yizou and the two saints can calmly leave the battlefield with their epic strength. As long as they calculate their physical strength a little, they will have no problem running away before they can't fight anymore.

Similarly, this does not mean that the epic is not strong, fierce, or powerful. In fact, the fact that it can achieve a record of one against a hundred is enough to prove that the epic does have a dominant performance when facing high-level enemies. Even the weakest epic cannot be defeated in front of the strongest high-level enemy.

However, overwhelming power is one thing, and whether or not there is a health bar is another. This is also the biggest misunderstanding among many netizens in major forums and communities when discussing the "strength issue", that is - when fighting epics at high levels, you can't even see the health bar.

Motan's war model proves that no matter how powerful the epic is, it still has a health bar.

Just as heroes in MOBA games can kill, harvest, and crush minions in various ways, but can also lose blood from minions, under normal circumstances, although we cannot question the value of the latter just because "minions may kill heroes", and then reverse the rhythm of "heroes are not as good as minions", we cannot ignore minions as grass, especially some super soldiers, which can hurt people.

Precisely because of this, in actual combat, Mo Tan was quite cautious about investing these 'epic heroes' under his command. After all, whether out of personal feelings or rational analysis, the two Holy Sons and his own guardian knights could not be injured at this stage, let alone killed in battle.

In the chaos just now, Mo Tan used these three epic heroes perfectly like a textbook, allowing them to influence the battle situation to the greatest extent while paying the lowest cost.

Under his orders, Philip did not intervene directly in the battlefield at all. Instead, he continued to interfere with the Gray Lizard Hunters who were furious because of the sudden betrayal and were rushing around in chaos. In the process, he constantly used high-frequency and large-scale divine arts to support his comrades, maximizing the endurance of the Dunbuya City Front and the Skork Resistance Army, with excellent results.

Yizou's side utilized mobility to the extreme. After making sure that Motan was completely safe, the female knight turned into a flash of light and cut into the battlefield. She did not take on the main task of fighting the enemy, but relied on her personal strength to frantically divide the battlefield, causing the Gray Lizard Hunters, who had been completely dispersed and fighting on their own due to Danon's betrayal, to be further isolated, maximizing their numerical advantage in countless local battlefields.

As for Avery, the Son of Justice, the instruction Mo Tan gave him was very simple, which was to protect the Skolk village to the greatest extent possible during the ambush that broke out. The scope of protection was not limited to the elderly, women and children, flowers and plants, houses, pets, naughty children, etc. It was very simple and very difficult.

Finally, with the joint efforts of the Dunbuya City Front and the Skork Resistance, an expected victory took place naturally. Five hundred Gray Lizard Hunters, including the deputy commander Danon Dan, were wiped out, and the combined forces, which cooperated for the first time, only paid the price of more than thirty people.

Some people may think that the three words "just" are a blasphemy and disrespect for life, and a contempt and trampling on human nature, but the problem is that this is a war, even if it is only a small beginning, but war is war!

War is a desecration of life and a trampling of humanity.

Therefore, with such brilliant results achieved, there is nothing wrong with using the three words "only" to describe our own sacrifices. What is problematic is the war that quantifies "human lives" as consumables.

[It must be hard to force yourself to accept this reality...]

Bathed in the friendly, complicated, or fearful gazes of the Skolks, Jenny Belial narrowed her eyes and stared at the fool who had just reunited with the Guardian Knight, with an awkward smile on his face, and whose back was so thin that people could not feel safe at all, but who was invisibly protecting countless people including herself, and sighed helplessly.

"Jenny."

Then, the fool turned around just as he expected, and said in a weak voice, "Let's go."

【Keep working hard. 】

She extinguished the cigarette between her fingers, scratched her hair, and took a step towards the unknown future.

“Here I come.”
