Chapter: 482
“Paul, we could use some backup.” he pointed at the other fields.
With a nod, Paul went to grab some adventurers from the other fields.
Four adventurers followed him back – he brought enough to take some pressure off but not to make it boring.
With him, Stephen tagged along, following them was a ranger to replace Peter and three more melee’s.
Approaching the group, Jay had the three new melees replace himself, the axeman and the mace-man. The fresh ferocity of the new adventurers gave them all some breathing room.
Now that the team was larger, Jay had control of over 11 people, so he decided to make a new formation.
Jay moved safely behind the formation and began to organise them all.
For a moment he considered a triangle formation pointing into the swarm, opposite to his V formation. It would break the tide of elementals easily – but that would only be effective for strong enemies that wouldn’t die in one hit. What they needed was simply to increase their killing area.
With Stephen, Dan, Conroy, the mace-shield guy, the new ranger around him, he started to tell them the new battle formation.
He expected Stephen to challenge him, but to his surprise, Stephen stayed quiet and simply went along with it, nodding each time.
“Huh…” Jay thought, surprised at how different he seemed.
The .V. formation turned into a .-.-. formation with Stephen and his turrets in the middle.
Jay, Dan and Conroy would be in the left melee group, while the maceman and the three new melee guys would be on the right.
The sabre-girl and dagger girl would act as support to them – either cutting off hooks or filling in for exhaustion. The rangers would be divided evenly on either side.
Jay switched out the others who were still in the V-formation so they could learn the plan. After that, it was time to execute.
“Ready?” Jay called out.
“Yep” “Yes.” “Yeah.” “Yep” “Sure” they all responded.
“Alright, now!” Jay ordered.
There was a little confusion as they moved between each other, but in a matter of moments the new formation took shape.
The adventurers seemed to have small, proud smiles as they moved themselves into a different formation in a matter of moments, but Jay seemed unimpressed.
“Hmm. Good enough.” Jay thought, knowing his skeletons would have made them look like bumbling toddlers.
***I forgot that golden tickets refresh monthly, so instead, we’re going to do a bonus chapter for every 100 golden tickets over 500. Bonus G.T. Chapter 1/3***
Just like that, their killing efficiency skyrocketed.
More of the elementals could be culled now that they were facing a wall of six melee adventurers, turrets in the middle with rangers on either side.
