Richthofen’s astonishment was very much in line with his understanding. After all, Su Xi is a Tier Six Legendary-level unit! Just the Command Value consumed amounted to 16,384 points.
Almost no one can command such a powerful soldier; generally speaking, they are distinguished from ordinary soldiers, acting independently within a hero’s army.
Especially since he witnessed Lin Rui leading a large number of troops; even though he is a hero, he couldn’t possibly, while commanding the army, also lead a Tier Six Legendary-level soldier!
He knew well enough, as the Grand Commander of the Templar Order, he couldn’t deftly command all the Knights within the Knight Order.
The Commander Value of ordinary soldiers is even more limited, which is why the army’s organizational structure follows a decimal system. A high-tier soldier commands twelve middle-tier soldiers, a middle-tier soldier commands twelve low-tier soldiers. Each level of the command chain’s bonus effects barely impacts the next level.
So the mobilization, organization, maneuverability, flexibility, combat prowess, and all aspects of ordinary armies cannot compare to an army commanded by a hero.
Richthofen, with his rich experience in commanding troops, could be very sure that Lin Rui absolutely couldn’t further enhance Su Xi. Unless... he abandoned the command of all other soldiers.
But seeing the soldiers of the Golden Pansy Domain still advancing with impressive vigor, his tiger eyes were filled with astonishment. Get full chapters from NoveIꜰire.net
"Could it be that this small domain has a second hero!"
Su Xi, feeling the 167% attack and defense bonus brought by Lin Rui’s Commander Value, became even more resolute, completely ignoring Richthofen’s shock, and stepped forward with her sword again.
This time, she completely ignored Richthofen’s attacks, exchanging blood for blood to the extreme.
A moment ago, this was exactly what Richthofen desired, but after just an instantaneous change, he found himself losing the edge in this extreme exchange of blows.
He, a Tier Seven Legendary Heavy Knight, found his armor failing to match the defenses of this slender young woman in front of him, who was only Tier Six.
Her physical defense was now no weaker than his, and her Damage Reduction reached an unbelievable level.
Amidst the flash of blades and swords, his Life Value dropped rapidly!
Richthofen roared in anger; he... no, anyone wouldn’t have expected that a Tier Seven Legendary Great Warrior’s Life Value would decline so swiftly.
The long blade in the girl’s hand was just as mysteriously bizarre. It seemed as if a crimson crescent moon truly shone on the battlefield.
Yet his roar had just rang out when it was drowned by the Legendary Giant Dragon’s roar.
Death’s Wings advanced to Tier Six, its Dragon Breath received a massive boost, from 5,000 points skyrocketing to 25,000 points!
This figure was already extremely terrifying, knowing that when Su Xi advanced to Tier Six, her Life Value reward was only given 20,000 points.
Death’s Wings’ Dragon Breath was True Damage, meaning it could directly erase nearly a fifth of Richthofen’s Life Value with a single breath. There was no possibility of blocking it! Even if he stacked thirty layers of shields, it would be useless.
What’s more troublesome is that Death’s Wings, upon breaking through to Tier Six, obtained a very powerful Super-Tier Trait.
[Black Dragon Lord: All dragons must bow before me! Even among dragons, Death’s Wings exists as a Lord, under its majestic Dragon’s aura, all creatures feel the oppressive force of the true Dragon’s aura. Every second, opponent’s traits are sealed once, duration is affected by the difference in Willpower.]
Richthofen’s Willpower was nearly a hundred points higher than Death’s Wings’, so the trait sealing duration lasted approximately less than 0.01 seconds.
For ordinary people, this 0.01 second is completely useless, as a blink takes 0.2-0.4 seconds, twenty to forty times the duration of this seal. Even if there was this chance, no one could seize the battle opportunity.
Not even Super-Tier units could! 0.01 seconds is just too fast. Unless one could predict in advance, it’s simply too late to strike.
Yet for Richthofen, even this 0.01 seconds felt like a guillotine!
After being hit twice consecutively, when he looked at Su Xi, his eyes were already filled with disbelief. His tone was full of exasperation: "Even if a blind cat accidentally catches a dead mouse, your chances of doing so are way too high!"
Indeed, Su Xi could not seize this battle opportunity.
But as long as her sword kept its momentum, she always had a chance to hit that 0.01-second seal of Richthofen.
The exact moment when the Dragon’s aura took effect each second was unclear to both Su Xi and Richthofen, as it was to Dark Wings.
After all, this trait formed naturally, a second is very short, but when divided into 0.01-second intervals, it becomes long, whereby it takes effect depends entirely on luck.
And luck is the greatest advantage of the Golden Pansy Domain.
The Super-Tier Trait of Death’s Wings affects not only Richthofen but also influences the vast battlefield. Many soldiers of the Templar Order found that just when they were resisting with blades and swords, suddenly all their traits were sealed for a moment, which was enough to be fatal.
If the traits of Extraordinary Units were all invalid, they were just slightly stronger humans and couldn’t resist any Super-Tier unit’s attacks.
Thus the Explorers under the Golden Pansy Domain were left stunned, staring dumbfoundedly at their swords.
"Did I just one-shot a Tier Four Elite Knight?"
"Wow, what did I just see? Brother Chen blew away a bunch of knights with one Spirit Magic?"
"Mom, I’ve made it! I just killed two injured Tier Four Elite Knights with one Spirit Magic!"
Richthofen could no longer remain calm; he was rapidly depleting his state, with his army suffering heavy casualties. If this deadlock continued, even if he managed to win here, he wouldn’t be able to withstand Count Frans’ offensive.
