Chapter 737: Chapter 159 The Movie Legend_3

Daisy greatly admired this adversary. The Drying Water strategy was indeed vicious. If it wasn’t for the magic teleportation array, Daisy would have almost certainly lost this battle.

Sympathetic rivalry is a common trait shared between commanders on both sides of the battlefield. When equal forces clash, the war is a game of wits in the eyes of the commanding officers. Lives are but statistics to them, free from consideration; the outcome is all that matters.

Ruona held a Div Water Crystal Ball that had been crafted from a Div Crystal. After Master Otigha infused it with fire elemental mana, she showed Liu alleys of battle that occurred in the Lava Valley after he left.

This "Night Hunter" was indeed a commander capable of producing various unusual strategies. After her resource-draining plot of drying the water source didn’t provide the expected results, she designed a trick that involved dropping a huge wooden turtle and feigning an army withdrawal. Projected by the Div Crystal Ball, the mammoth wooden turtle appeared just as it was before being dismantled. Despite its hurried construction, this wooden turtle, which was about ten meters tall and made of underground leafless wood planks, was impressive like a small hill and beautifully designed thanks to the aesthetic style of the Elves. Even the two big eyes, carved from frosted stones, were picture-perfect.

In the military history of Aegean Continent, human armies once used a giant wooden horse with a hollow belly to hide a large number of troops, then feigned a retreat. When the oblivious enemy dragged this wooden horse home as a trophy, a sudden attack was launched from both inside and outside.

This "Wooden Turtle Strategy" of Drow was clearly conceived in the same inventive spirit as the humans’ "Trojan Horse Strategy".

"Night Hunter" Jalincha has been hanging around in the underground world. The Drow Elves who have been exiled for over ten thousand years of course have no knowledge of the military histories of the surface world. This "Wooden Turtle Strategy" is clearly a result of her ingenious mind. Little did she know that this kind of trick had long been a regular course in the military colleges of all major human empires. Even in the slightly inferior military academy of the Bimon Kingdom, this military tactic had already been over-analyzed.

For the Night Elves, who had acquired the "Shadow Escape" ability, this cunning strategy was indeed more stealthy and convenient when used. However, in the eyes of Daisy, who had seen similar battle examples, this strategy was undoubtedly a rather laughable and naive tactic, which naturally led to disastrous defeat.

The continuous images captured by the Div Crystal Ball were indeed stunning, and the backdrop presented by the fire elemental mana perfectly illustrated the ruthless colors of war.

"Can this footage be stored?" Liu asked Ruona quietly.

"It can be stored separately in a crystal ball, or made into a crystal card with the Div Crystal and magic crystal which is carved with a storage formation. In this way, the Div Crystal Ball does not need to refresh the old frames to capture new ones." Nana seemingly figured out what Liu was thinking: "These precious continuous shots of battle scenes can be screened for entertainment purposes when necessary."

Liu’s idea wasn’t limited to this. He wanted to use this "Div Reality" to open a cinema and make money. The impact of such footage in an era with very little entertainment would be unthinkable for those without similar experiences. Liu vividly remembered the excitement and joy he felt when he first watched a film. The aftertaste lingered, even now.

Perhaps the real essence of magic isn’t to be used in wars, but to be utilized in areas like this? When Liu thought of this, he felt his image tower up, resembling the compassionate heroes in legends.

In fact, it was indeed so. After watching "Div Reality" for a while, the initially awkward Night Hunter Jalincha and Drow soldiers became engrossed in it. It seemed they had completely forgotten that the people being burned by the Sea of Fire in the footage were their own comrades. When an Orephin warrior swung his chilly sword and killed a transformed Drow, sending a pair of scorpion claws flying into the air, when Master Otigha’s "Sea of Fire" spell burned the wooden turtle to a crisp, when the javelins of the Panda and Antelope warriors, and the Kuerk curved blades sliced the feathers off the Eagle-Bull people in the sky, exclamations of awe could be heard at the scene.

As for General Pan’s iconic pose... constantly chewing on a bamboo stick, this small detail also started to be subconsciously imitated by many drows, although their mouths were only full of saliva, and they could only chew on the imaginary bamboo stick.

Due to the urgency of the demon hunting plan, this "Div Live" broadcast was abruptly cut short by Liu Zhenhan, which triggered massive discontent among the audience. The sound of whistles and curses rose like a tide, and it was almost like a riot.

Even Guoguo stubbornly clung to Liu Zhenhan, throwing tantrums with tears and snot, clearly determined not to give up until the broadcast was resumed. Katusha even bit Liu Zhenhan’s thigh. Her small face turned red from the effort, and when Gortani finally pried her away, Liu Zhenhan’s leg was left with a neat row of teeth marks.

What shocked Liu Zhenhan even more was that almost all the higher-ups, regardless of whether they were fallen elves or beech elves, unanimously decided to wait until the "Div Live" broadcast was completely over before going to hunt the six-winged flame demon and Flame Lord. This surprised Liu Zhenhan a lot. He had never thought the execution of such an important plan would be halted because of a mere war report. His usual autocratic style was even overturned by this small "Div Live" broadcast. It’s simply incredible.

Luckily, the magic required to power the Div crystal was not too much, and could also be supplied through magic crystals, so Liu Zhenhan had no choice but to reluctantly agree to this proposal.

The audience’s enthusiasm was greater than Liu Zhenhan had ever anticipated. After watching the "Div Live" broadcast for two hours, their excitement still did not wane. Therefore, the whole broadcast was replayed a second time, ultimately delaying the whole day’s work. The episode "Turtle Genocide Times Two" was played ten times in total. According to conservative estimates, each person watched the "Div Live" broadcast at least three times through, some even stayed up all night to do so.

This was just a relatively mild battle. Liu Zhenhan secretly speculated that if the Beech defense battle had been filmed and broadcasted, these guys would definitely be able to watch it a hundred times without eating, drinking, and doing anything else! However, there were some benefits too. The tense atmosphere before the demon hunting operation was diffused this way. Everyone’s attention was diverted to something unrelated.

On the way to Hell Salt Marsh, the residence of the Flame Lord, almost everyone was discussing scenes from yesterday’s live broadcast. Even the usually serious Ning Yu was no exception. He joined a few gossipy women in chatting and discussing who was the most handsome, their faces turning red from the heat of the argument. Even the thrilling battle of the fallen elf ritual, completely fabricated by Liu Zhenhan, did not attract the ladies’ attention, almost making Liu Zhenhan depressed to death.

The cool demeanor of Hippo O’Neal puffing on an unlit cigar that had been with him for many years, and Gude’s cool face as he chewed on his bamboo stick, were unanimously considered the most handsome and stylish expressions. Many powerful autumn spinach had started fantasizing about them, making O’Neal stop goofing around to maintain his public image, and kept a straight face all day.

For this demon hunting operation, it was first decided to confront the Flame Lord who resided in the Hell Salt Marsh located 300 miles west of Lava Valley. Since the Flame Lord was a powerful entity incapable of flying, in order to guard against his terrifying magical beast army, an entire army of 20,000 drows was sent towards Hell Marsh. This included 5,800 from the air force, plus 11,000 from the Moore Air Force. Almost everyone was discussing the wonderful "Div Live" broadcast.

Liu Zhenhan also took time out to express his stance to Prince Moore and the Drow matriarch. Since their troops had been invited to assist, they would not risk their lives, and in case of extreme circumstances, they would certainly consider inviting Hell Black Dragon and Evil-eye Tyrant for help. This proposal seemed reasonable to the selfish fallen elves.
