Chapter 205 The Fierce Battle and Exchange
Chapter 205 The Fierce Battle and Exchange
"Be careful!"
When Guo Xiuwen appeared again, several lords began to guess again.
Guo Xiuwen didn't care about this.
For another action point to be credited, he is already passionate about the challenge.
Next, the lord of the No.6 cemetery camp challenged him.
In this challenge, Guo Xiuwen finally felt the pressure.
The opponent's soldiers were actually not much more than before, only more than 60 silver-ranked soldiers and two gold-ranked soldiers.
However, it was different from the previous three lords who decisively chose to surrender after discovering that there was nothing to be done and losses on their side in order to preserve their own strength.
The lord of this cemetery camp has a bit of a hard head.
Relying on the characteristic that the soldiers of the cemetery camp can be resurrected once, the opponent chose to confront Guo Xiuwen head-on.
Guo Xiuwen, who had successfully attacked twice in a row by relying on gold rank soldiers, entered the opponent's team.
The lord of this cemetery camp actually chose to besiege Guo Xiuwen.
It forced Guo Xiuwen to arrange a large army to fight the opponent.
Because the soldiers in the opponent's team were attacking one after another, Guo Xiuwen was worried about what would happen to his gold rank soldiers.
And he also wants to seize this rare opportunity to weaken the strength of some cemetery camp lords, preferably be able to surround and beat the opponent's lords to death.
It's a pity that although the lord of the cemetery camp didn't care about the lives of the soldiers, he was very worried about his own life.
In the end, Guo Xiuwen only killed more than 30 silver rank soldiers and one or two gold rank soldiers.
This level of downsizing is definitely a traumatic experience.
And the lord of the cemetery camp finally chose to surrender after discovering that his two gold rank soldiers were dead.
With four consecutive victories, Guo Xiuwen's action points reached ten in an instant.
Then, while he was waiting for the start of the next challenge, another unexpected turn of events occurred.
click - click -
slam-la-
After the battle, Guo Xiuwen waited for 10 minutes, but the battle he expected did not appear.
Guo Xiuwen was not surprised, he thought it was because he won four times in a row, so the rest time became longer.
It's not impossible.
After all, there was no rest time for my first and second challenges.
There is a 10-minute break after the third challenge victory.
Then came the fourth challenge and won again.
But after he waited for nearly 10 minutes, he still didn't wait for the battle to start.
Instead, the orc warrior lord of the fifth-ranked tribal faction suddenly disappeared.
After the other party disappeared for more than ten minutes, the bone seat representing No.5 suddenly shattered, and then reassembled again.
"what's going on!"
"I know it disappeared. Someone must have challenged him, but this seat was broken and reassembled."
"The last ten challenged lords won!"
There is a categorical opening for the lord.
"Good guy, I didn't expect that among the last ten lords, some of them are really good, and the target they chose is No.5!"
While the other lords were discussing with each other, on the bone seat representing No.5, suddenly a green dragon appeared on it.
"Hey, green dragon! This is the lord of the swamp camp!"
"Isn't No.1's Guo Xiuwen also from the swamp camp?"
"There are actually two lords in the swamp camp that entered the top ten!"
"When did the swamp camp become so powerful!"
Guo Xiuwen didn't expect that Nicholas, the green dragon, would beat the No. 5 lord with the fifteenth place without saying a word.
This was obviously beyond his expectation.
But after the surprise, he became happy again.
The Horde faction is an ally of the Graveyard faction.
More importantly, I and the green dragon are in the same camp.
Among the top ten before, I was the only lord of the swamp camp, so after the challenge of the last ten lords is over, I am likely to face many challenges.
You must know that compared to the fact that all the lords in the bottom ten have only one chance to challenge, the lords in the top ten have at least two chances to challenge.
If the other party really wants to engage in some kind of wheel battle, it is not impossible to challenge Guo Xiuwen more than ten times in a row.
Now with the arrival of Nicholas, I can breathe a sigh of relief.
"Welcome! Nicholas!"
Thinking of this, Guo Xiuwen greeted Nicholas with a smile.
When Nicholas heard Guo Xiuwen's greeting, he turned his head and nodded to him as a response.
After Nicholas's challenge was over, Guo Xiuwen was challenged again in the next match.
And this time to challenge his enemies, the lord is from the dungeon camp.
The dungeon camp and the cemetery camp are allies.
Guo Xiuwen was originally worried that the other party would try his best to help the cemetery camp.
But it turned out that he still wanted a little more.
Because after the dark elf fought against him, he found that he could not gain any advantage, so he decisively chose to surrender.
The actions of the opponent are similar to those of the lord of the previous barrier camp.
It is estimated that he also wanted to pick up the leak.
After finding out that he couldn't find any leaks, he decisively chose to surrender to preserve his strength.
After all, not all soldiers under the lord's command can have a chance to make mistakes like the lord of the cemetery camp.
After winning the challenge from the lord of the dungeon camp, among the last ten lords, only the second-ranked lord of the cemetery camp was left to challenge.
Even though Guo Xiuwen tried his best to avoid this challenge, he still sacrificed a headless horseman combination, two blood-burning skeleton warriors and two grieving ghosts.
No way, this time the lord of the second-ranked cemetery camp was even crazier, wanting to die together.
As a last resort, Guo Xiuwen could only use the undead soldiers as cannon fodder to fight the opponent desperately.
The reason why he chose soldiers from the cemetery camp was mainly because of camp issues.
In his hands, the soldiers of the forest camp can exert extra combat power.
But the soldiers of the cemetery camp could not.
That being the case, when choosing which soldiers to abandon, he would of course give priority to soldiers from the cemetery camp.
As for the two resentful ghosts, it wasn't his intention.
It's that the opponent has more than 50 ghosts, and the flying units are much more than their own. The two grieving ghosts have to sacrifice in order to attract the opponent's ghost to lower their stature.
But the end result was pretty good.
The sacrifice of the two resentful ghosts allowed Guo Xiuwen to kill more than 30 ghosts.
It was precisely because the opponent sacrificed too many ghosts that the opponent chose to surrender.
Otherwise, Guo Xiuwen might have sacrificed more than these six soldiers.
With the end of this battle, the last ten lords who are capable of challenging have finally completed their challenges.
Because of six victories in six games, Guo Xiuwen's action points reached twelve points, and he still sat firmly on the No.1 throne.
And the only lord among the last ten who successfully challenged was actually the green dragon Nicholas of the swamp camp.
After the challenges of the last ten lords were completed, Elder Bone began to announce that the top ten lords were ready to challenge.
And because of Guo Xiuwen's record of five wins and five victories among many lords, he originally thought that he should be the first to be targeted.
But the result was beyond his expectation.
Among the top ten, the tenth place is the lord of a castle camp.
The number of silver soldiers in the opponent's hands is a full 78. The opponent's choice of challenge is not Guo Xiuwen, but the seventh-ranked dungeon camp lord.
The results of the battle between the two sides appeared soon.
In the end, it turned out that the lord of the castle camp won.
But when Guo Xiuwen saw the remaining soldiers on both sides, he knew why the other side could win.
Because behind the lord of the castle faction who appeared in the seventh seat, there were only less than thirty silver-ranked soldiers and a golden-ranked griffin left, and the knights and golden-ranked mages who were originally riding the griffins all disappeared.
As for the dark mage who sat in the tenth position, there were still fifty silver-rank soldiers, but the other party still had two gold-rank soldiers.
It seems that the reason why the dark elves chose to surrender was mainly to avoid the lord of the castle camp from fighting themselves desperately, not because the lord of the castle camp really won against him.
You must know that among the top ten lords, even if it is the bottom five, each lord has two opportunities to challenge.
Now even if the lord of the castle faction wins against the dark elves, it is impossible to keep the No. 7 seat in the opponent's state.
But whether he can hold his own position is obviously a matter for the lord of the castle camp to be challenged later.
As their results came out, the lord of the barrier camp, who was originally ranked ninth, chose to challenge the lord of the cemetery camp, which was ranked eighth.
But unlike the lords of the castle camp, the lords of the barrier camp did not succeed in the challenge.
When the two lords reappeared, the lord of the barrier faction was still seated ninth, with only one gold-ranked centaur archer and five silver-ranked centaur archers behind him.
Although the lord of the cemetery camp temporarily retained the eighth position, there was only one gold-ranked skeleton warrior and eleven silver-ranked soldiers left behind.
Seeing this scene, the other lords fell silent.
Among the previous top ten lords, No. 8 and No. 9 had the least number of soldiers, but even if their number of soldiers was the smallest among the lords present, they still had more than 60 soldiers.
Now that a battle is over, the number of soldiers under the lord's command of the barrier camp is only in single digits, and the number of soldiers of the lord's soldiers in the cemetery camp barely reaches double digits.
Such a fierce battle suddenly made everyone worry.
In fact, the battle between the No. 10 castle camp lord and the No. 7 dungeon camp lord had surprised them before, but now it seems that their battle that lost more than half is not the final result.
In fact, everyone's guess is not wrong.
With the end of the No.9 lord's challenge, the No.8 lord who suffered heavy losses naturally chose not to challenge.
And because the No. 7 lord changed hands, it was the turn of the lord of the castle camp to choose.
This time, the opponent also chose not to challenge because of too much loss.
So I was selected as the lord of the No.6 elemental camp.
The opponent unexpectedly chose Youyou, the lord of the third-ranked cemetery camp.
When the battle was over, Youyou sat on the third seat with a normal expression.
As for the fire element lord who challenged him, there were originally more than 80 silver-rank soldiers, but now there are only [-]-something soldiers left, and only two gold-rank soldiers are left.
"The gap is too big!"
After the fire element lord came out, he quickly looked at the fifth-ranked green dragon Nicholas and the fourth-ranked castle camp lord.
Although he heard what the other party said, the green dragon Nicholas still chose to continue to challenge the No.3 cemetery camp, Youyou.
"The gap is indeed a bit big, but I used 34 dragon blood warriors to fight off his 23 ghost soldiers!"
After Nicholas came out, he also looked at the lord of the No.4 castle camp and Guo Xiuwen.
The other party even specifically warned the two of another thing: "The number of soldiers he commanded to fight just now was one hundred and three! Now there are eighty left!"
Hearing the number of soldiers commanded by Youyou, the other lords were in an uproar, and then everyone turned their attention to the second-ranked Gu Shasheng and the first-ranked Youyou.
Although everyone didn't speak, it was obvious that everyone was more curious about the number of soldiers they had.
"Hmph, no wonder you were able to defeat that orc warrior. I didn't expect to have 91 dragon blood warriors. What did you choose to surrender just now? I also wanted to try to slay the dragon."
When Youyou heard that Nicholas revealed the number of his soldiers, he also said the number of soldiers Nicholas had without hesitation.
And seeing the other party's undisguised killing intent, it was obvious that he wanted to kill Nicholas together.
After hearing the number of Nicholas' soldiers, the eyes of the dark elf, who is currently ranked tenth, lit up.
She was challenged by the lord of the previous castle camp, and there are only fifty soldiers left.
But because of the battle with Youyou, Nicholas also only had more than 50 soldiers left.
So she began to think about whether she could beat the opponent and enter the top five.
While the opponent was thinking, the lord of the fourth ranked castle also chose to challenge Youyou.
Soon, the other party still appeared in the fourth seat.
"He had another 94 soldiers to fight this time, and I lost half of them. I barely killed [-] soldiers of the other side, but I managed to kill a ghost of the golden rank, hehe!"
The lord of the castle camp looked at Guo Xiuwen while talking.
Hearing his words, Guo Xiuwen nodded and expressed his gratitude to the other party.
"Hmph, I look forward to your continuing to challenge me next time!"
This time Youyou didn't say anything more, although he couldn't see his expression clearly, but from the voice, it could be heard that the other party was not happy.
This is not surprising.
After all, after two consecutive challenges, he himself lost more than forty soldiers, including a gold rank soldier.
With such a huge loss, although he kept his ranking, if he wanted to challenge Guo Xiuwen, there would definitely be twists and turns.
But Youyou still didn't hesitate.
When it was his turn to challenge next, he chose Guo Xiuwen as the challenge target without hesitation.
