Chapter 810: Chapter 634 Fine Gold is Mine
```
"Damn it! They’ve traded fine gold for artillery fire! All mages, defend with all your might!"
The red Commander shouted loudly, and immediately, all the mages ceased their attacks and switched to full defense against the Golem’s artillery fire.
The brilliance of the artillery fire was almost blinding, and several mages of slightly lesser strength were instantly killed by mana backlash, their bodies pulverized. The shockwave from the cannons reached the surrounding area, injuring many warriors. But in the end, the cannon fire didn’t inflict significant damage on the red side.
"Bastards!"
The blue Vice Commander raised his hand and cut the idiotic warrior, who had rashly given orders, into two. A precious opportunity for artillery fire, and they’d used it to target the enemy’s Commander? What a joke! Would their mages just watch as their Commander was killed by artillery fire?
Now, an opportunity for artillery fire wasted, a few mages dead, a large number of warriors injured, but the Commander was unscathed! It was meaningless!
Almost at the same time, another red airship arrived, also carrying several warriors and a Vice Commander. This Vice Commander was clearly already informed.
"You have more fine gold, you can have forty units of artillery fire,"
The Dark Saintess said.
Instantly, forty Golems unfolded their Light Cannons.
This time, the Vice Commander didn’t rush to speak but calmly observed the battle situation.
"We request artillery fire here, here, and here..."
The Vice Commander precisely marked all forty artillery locations.
In a moment, the brilliance of the artillery fire once again lit up everyone’s vision.
When the light faded, the warriors of the blue side at the red side’s most pressured points were decimated!
"Good!"
The red side warriors immediately started to cheer loudly.
And there, beside the Golems, the Vice Commander of the red side looked proudly at the Vice Commander of the blue side.
"Damn it! Kill them!"
The blue Vice Commander roared, and several warriors rushed forward, yelling. Not to be outdone, the red side warriors charged forth as well.
But in an instant, as the artillery fire fell, those warriors were obliterated without a trace left behind.
"Do not fight in my presence."
The Dark Saintess said.
The Vice Commanders of both sides slowly backed off. They harbored no animosity towards these powerful Golems since they were a third party, not vying for knowledge against them, and besides, they needed to borrow the Golems’ power.
As those people backed off, the Golems immediately began to allocate the fine gold.
These Golems were made of fine gold, having lost their combat effectiveness due to damage inflicted by the Dragon Clan after the war, eventually collected by the Elves. Though the Dark Clan had now repaired them, some severe internal injuries still could not be mended due to a lack of fine gold.
But now it’s different, people started providing fine gold.
Those boxes were opened, and the Golems with lighter injuries began to absorb fine gold.
In fact, these Golems always had the ability to self-repair, which was reactivated after the core combined with the Golems. Golems could use any metal to repair themselves, but the Dark Clan had refrained from hastily repairing them since ordinary metals couldn’t match the properties of fine gold. And now, they finally had fine gold.
The Golems with lighter wounds required only a small amount of fine gold to complete their self-repair. The Golems that fully recovered had not a single scratch on their bodies, their dark golden armor glimmering in the sunlight, and the Dark Clan members controlling them were extremely excited.
But with two hundred Golems there, this bit of fine gold was far from enough!
At the beginning, both sides were almost recklessly squandering fine gold for artillery fire. However, such extravagant spending was too quick and barely helpful on the battlefield, so both Commanders cooled down.
After careful consideration, they realized that fine gold should not be used in this manner.
Suddenly, a subtle change occurred on the battlefield, and both sides’ tactical arrangements started to revolve around the Golems. Fine gold thus became an even more critical strategic resource than before. And the amount of fine gold used, as well as the timing of its use, became a matter requiring great expertise.
Both sides’ airships successively transported vast amounts of fine gold. This fine gold wasn’t sent out all at once but exchanged for a round of artillery fire at crucial moments.
This was enough to turn the tide of battle.
Yet the Dark Saintess found the situation highly amusing. There wasn’t much change in the battle situation, and she was completely an outsider, but all the fine gold from both sides belonged to her.
Stellar Realm Arena.
A ten-day challenge.
These ten days were truly exhilarating. Every day, Long Yi faced no fewer than six challenges, and during this period, he killed his opponents twenty-six times. The rest either surrendered or were rendered incapable of continuing the fight. And the Arena Guide unusually placed this newcomer on the front page, detailing the extraordinary campaign of this Mountain Giant.
Long Yi tossed the guide aside, lying flat on the bed. From his personal belongings, he took out a perfectly white feather.
```
This Feather of Heaven belonged to Elsa’s feathers. Back when Long Yi was still in the Human Realm, Elsa had given it to him. This feather possessed immense power, but for Long Yi, it represented Elsa’s longing for him.
Currently, the feather was spotless white, yet it carried no trace of energy fluctuations, indicating that Elsa was not here. This was the Lower Plane, the true Lower Plane, while Elsa was in the Higher Plane. To find her, one would have to traverse between two separate planes. And to travel between planes, one had to become stronger!
"Dang!"
The bell rang, signaling it was time for Long Yi to enter the stage!
Long Yi stored away the feather and reined in all his thoughts.
Then he forcefully pushed open the great door.
At this moment, the enormous arena was packed without an empty seat in sight.
The three commentators in the commentators’ booth were straining their voices to hype up the event and explaining the rules to some of the audience who had never watched a match before.
Today was the night of Slaughter Hell, and tonight’s matches would not allow the option of surrender; there was only one way to achieve victory.
To be the last one standing.
And tonight, one of the most eye-catching matches was the prison battle that Long Yi was participating in.
The so-called prison battle involved dividing the entire arena into thirty-two prisons, separated by magic protections. Initially, two prisons would open first, and after every five minutes, another prison would open, releasing a warrior inside. Which prison would open was random, meaning that as time passed, the arena would become larger and more warriors would appear. If a warrior defeated all opponents within five minutes, the next prison would immediately open.
Some warriors were lucky to be released last, allowing them to conserve their strength easily, but those unlucky enough to be released first were in trouble as there were few cases in the history of the prison battle where the first to be released lasted until the end. The few successful powerhouses eventually qualified to compete for the title of King of the Arena!
At this time, Long Yi’s prison was located in the center.
If nothing unexpected happened...
Bang!
The sound of shattering glass echoed as Long Yi’s prison broke apart, and simultaneously, the prison next to Long Yi also shattered.
He was indeed the first!
The person beside him reacted extremely quickly, throwing a tinted powder with an indeterminable color and then his body flickered with Fighting Aura as he lunged towards Long Yi. Meanwhile, Long Yi let out a fierce roar, and the powder incredibly flew back, landing on that person’s face, showing it could even penetrate Fighting Aura.
The person charging at Long Yi immediately screamed in agony. Long Yi raised his hand, and a burst of Fighting Aura shot out, instantly killing the man.
Time taken.
Six seconds.
The battle was decided with such shocking speed!
The moment victory was determined, another prison simultaneously exploded. Without even turning around, Long Yi’s body shot out like a cannonball, his foot laced with razor-sharp Fighting Aura showing no mercy as he pinned the person against another prison behind him.
Three seconds!
Just three seconds!
Long Yi defeated another opponent!
Bang, bang!
Two sounds rang out as two more prisons opened at the same time!
The two warriors were momentarily stunned, then they took drastically different actions. One bellowed and charged straight at Long Yi, while the other leapt into another magic-protected prison. Clearly, the two knew each other and did not engage in battle.
As expected, the one charging at Long Yi was quickly dealt with. Long Yi was aware that although the opening of prisons was supposed to be random, it was still controlled. The warriors released at the start were very weak, hence he needed to fight swiftly without wasting time on them. However, a player who could freely move into another’s shielded prison amused Long Yi greatly.
Prisons continued to shatter; this time, four were broken.
The increase in numbers did not embolden these four; instead, they gathered together, cautiously watching Long Yi. Their intent was clear—stall for time. With enough time, more warriors would be released, and they would grow stronger, no longer fearing Long Yi.
They might have planned to stall, but Long Yi would not let them do as they pleased. If you won’t come to me, then I must take the initiative!
Fighting Aura surged as Long Yi dashed towards the four. They exploded with Fighting Aura to block Long Yi’s first assault. Then they attacked simultaneously, blasting Long Yi away with a simple burst of their Fighting Aura before retreating quickly in another direction.
The four worked seamlessly together, a level of coordination that could not be achieved overnight. This meant that they must have been a team that had practiced together for some time.
Watching the four poised at a distance, Long Yi smiled.
"Lingling."
Long Yi called out.
Instantly, Lingling appeared by Long Yi’s side.
"Bombard them until they are willing to fight me." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
