Chapter 1450: Chapter 1450: The Insect Shepherd

Indeed, just as everyone expected, in his Giant form, the Druid didn’t even come close to him, transforming into an agile treant spirit and kiting the Giant to death with his movements and spells.

This is the Druid, ordinary ranged attackers simply do not have the speed of the Giant, but with special transformations, sacrificing some damage output for speed and flexibility as a treant enables them to kite the Giant at range.

Starfire’s side erupted in thunderous cheers, and the Guardian returned slowly, carrying two pieces of spoils with her.

For the audience, this battle was a spectacular display; for the Druids, it was a textbook lesson, deeply inspiring many Druids.

Of course, non-Druid professions also learned quite a bit, including details they grasped from the knowledgeable commentary.

For instance, by observing the changes in the opponent’s eyes, one could discern what type of spell the opponent was about to cast while chanting.

This may seem simple, and the experts know this, but for ordinary players, it’s either misunderstood, disregarded, or deemed useless.

But with the commentators’ analysis and the existence of this battle example, ordinary players learned to distinguish spells through the eyes.

Of course, some spells can’t be seen, and some races have eyes naturally shrouded in light, so often a comprehensive judgment is needed, not just a generalization.

"Mission accomplished," the voice of the Guardian of Order was still gender-neutral, but her gender was no longer a secret, perhaps she never intended to keep it secret, but simply chose not to show her face.

Li Yao examined the spoils, one Petrification Shoulder Guards, Gold Equipment. The properties were quite good, capable of either petrifying the enemy or oneself.

Whether it’s petrifying oneself or the enemy, petrification essentially provides a semi-invulnerable state where without bonus attacks or special skills, it’s nearly impossible to break, making it a dual-effect feature, which is quite impressive.

In a one-on-one situation, self-petrification could save your life; petrifying the enemy could not only interrupt their skills, but also allow oneself to escape or make adjustments.

Facing multiple opponents, petrifying one can be very effective, essentially adding a very valuable control skill, and its cooldown is not long, only one minute, can petrify for ten seconds without being attacked, with control duration varying based on attacks or other incidents.

Another unexpected item, a Heroic Altar, a Guild item.

Sacrificing corresponding precious ores to build respective altars, then it’s possible to recruit a small number of Gatekeepers, cough, well, Gatekeepers.

Even the lowest level of Gatekeepers is Chieftain-level; although the Gatekeeper failed, his prowess was still noteworthy; these few could summon at least ten Chieftains, great for guarding important Guild structures, particularly effective in critical moments.

Moreover, Gatekeepers could also craft some stone guards to serve as gate troops, the combat power is general, but they’re still an army, aren’t they.

Li Yao allocated the Shoulder Guards to the Guardian of Order: "The Shoulder Guards are your deserved reward. As for the blueprint of the Heroic Altar, it is regarded as a Guild item. You will receive corresponding Guild contributions, which sister Li will calculate."

"I understand," the Guardian of Order had no objections, this being a universal principle among Guilds; items for the Guild go to the Guild while contributing the most earns corresponding contribution points.

This blueprint is indeed nice, could enhance the Guild’s foundation significantly; for Starfire, although not saying it’s extremely critical, but it’s indeed useful, especially since Starfire is currently short-handed.

Li Yao didn’t mind others gathering around the Guardian but looked to the other side and said, "Sorry, we won this match too."

"Heh, don’t be proud, it’s just two wins," the ancient Dwarf responded indifferently, as if he wasn’t the one who lost.

Of course, he was actually very annoyed; he had intended to kill the opposing leader in front of his troops, inducing low morale in the enemy’s army, but ended up causing his own side heavy losses, which was indeed infuriating.

However, the ancient Dwarf was not aware that under the Fish-dragon Marshal Flag, morale would never wane; even if Starfire lost many, it wouldn’t matter; if he knew, he probably wouldn’t have played this game of champion versus champion.

Of course, players see this as the adventurous playstyle in mixed-mode, where risk and opportunity coexist; playing it well could, but playing it poorly could greatly impact the team.

"Finally, it’s my turn," a weird figure stepped out from the shadows.

The reason for being weird is that his body was an insect, only the upper half was a Dwarf, even the Dwarf’s body bore special carapace, looking bizarre.

Moreover, as he walked towards the center of the arena, behind him in the shadows emerged various insects from the Worm Tribe, including beetles, Flying Bugs, and even creatures resembling Fire Poison Cockroaches.

By the time he reached the center, there were already a few dozen insects following him, appearing as if they could multiply at any moment, and even under the ground, there were signs of insects lurking.

"This guy turns out to be an insect summoner with the Insect King Bloodline, impressive," Li Yao commented slightly startled.

By the time this Loka reached the center, dozens of insects were already following him, seeming as if they could increase at any time, and the ground also faintly showed traces of insects roaming.

"This guy is actually a Race-level Chieftain, very formidable, and even his two pets are both Race-level, the insects under his command also include several Chieftains, damn, whoever goes up alone is dead," the Guardian Angel cursed.

"The key is this insect-Dwarf seems very strong, not easy to decapitate, you guys actually used a War Axe, obviously going for close combat, this is deadly, aren’t summoners supposed to be fragile?" Mu Zi also complained.

"You guys can just stop, can players compare to bosses? They can play however they want; originally the tribal Chieftain was a warrior, said to play Shaman and became the most powerful Shaman, not to mention, now bored with enhanced Shaman, switching to the elementals," Fireworks joined in the men’s complaints.

"This time it’s still rolling the dice, but it seems a bit precarious," the enchantress looked around, clearly many people wanted to go but knew they weren’t a match, directly opting out of rolling, joking, can’t decapitate a summoner, it’s even more detestable than credit point players.

"Alright, I’ll take this one," Li Yao frowned slightly.

Feng Yi smiled and said, "Let me go, isn’t it just more pets? I have quite a few pets too, and the opponent’s big boss hasn’t shown up yet, going out now would make us look incompetent."

Li Yao thought for a moment before saying, "Worm Tribe, tricky, be careful."
