Chapter 1176: Chapter 623: Taking Advantage in the Waves, Limited Items Show Their Tricks

Only after engaging in combat can Zong Shen clearly assess the specific strength and combat power of each tier.

The restraining relationships between troop types are also quite evident.

Don’t be fooled by how Mages comfortably control the elements from the rear line during normal times.

The high-tier group attack magic they chant is as deadly to clustered monsters as a goblin bomb.

In fact, this is all because the Mages are properly protected.

With those front-line warriors absorbing damage for them, the Mages can chant and cast magic at leisure.

Once engaged in close combat, except for a few weirdos like Rasama wielding giant scythes,

most Mages are no match for even a lower-tier close combat soldier in melee.

After all, not every Mage is called Gandalf.

Individuals like Rasama, who can wield a scythe against warriors of the same tier while also chanting magic with a short staff, are actually rare among Mages.

Practicing both magic and martial arts is not an easy task; even with the talent for both disciplines, it is difficult to excel in both.

There were once warriors on the continent who mastered both magic and swordsmanship.

For example, the famous Magic Swordsman, belonging to the Primordial Human Race, Helron, who was born with elemental sensing power in his lineage and had a constitution surpassing ordinary human standards.

They were able to combine sword skills with magic, complementing each other to exert very strong combat power.

But strictly speaking, the swordmanship level of a Magic Swordsman must be at least two tiers higher than their magic level.

Another vivid example is someone like Zong.

He is not only a warrior-type Lord who believes great strength brings miracles but also a half-baked Thunder Mage.

Though Zong Shen, with the help of[Lei Luo’s Horn (Orange)]and[Aegwynn’s Book of Ten Thousand Laws (Orange)], can also unleash impressive Thunder Element Magic Damage, there is still a noticeable gap compared to his melee attacks.

Therefore, strength tier is not a constant concept.

Currently, Zong Shen roughly knows that a high-talent Tier Six warrior is equivalent to Epic Level strength.

However, even within Epic Level, there are varying degrees of strength.

Beyond Epic Level is the so-called Lower-Rank Legend.

Since there’s a lower rank, there surely must be a middle rank, upper rank, and perhaps even a top rank.

He hasn’t had much encounter with the tier of Legendary.

By troop type classification, one must be at least above Tier Seven or even Tier Eight.

What lies beyond Legendary is something he is completely bewildered by.

Speaking of which, these two summoning-type items actually have other meanings.

The previous Mountain Giant should belong to a high-tier “tank” type.

And this Great Sage, it’s probably a “wet nurse” type!

Zong Shen put away[Great Sage’s Summoning Stone (Special)].

He began to examine the next item, eager to see what further surprises[Limited Exchange]could offer him!

The next item was also a badge-token type tool.

Strictly speaking, this thing was a small flag.

It was about one meter in length, with golden embroidery on the flag surface depicting a Dwarf pilot operating a flying device soaring in the sky, with four throw-type bombs resembling goblin bombs hanging under the aircraft’s belly.

Zong Shen also had some understanding of these magic flying devices.

Humans, goblins, and Dwarves all have similar rotorcraft.

The Dwarves are the ones who have developed their flying machines the best, even better than goblins and humans!

Goblins, compared to flimsy flying devices, prefer constructing airships.

As a result, they’ve developed various models of airships.

Some heavy airships equipped with bombing systems and weapon platforms are nothing short of armed fortresses.

Unfortunately, the complex craftsmanship and high cost prevent heavy airships from being mass-produced.

Each heavy armed airship needs to operate in formation with dozens of auxiliary airships and escort airships.

Humans, on the other hand, know a bit of everything, but excel at nothing specific.

In comparison to goblins and dwarves, humans have a technological advantage in siege and defense equipment, as well as in magic rune cannons.

Dwarves wield firearms, humans wield cannons, goblins play with bombs, and everyone has a bright future.

Besides firearms, dwarf mastery of flying devices is top-notch.

So, it’s not surprising to see a dwarf pilot depicted on this flag.

With a thought, the detailed attributes appeared beside the flag.

[Flying Machine Bombing Formation Support Order (Special)]

[Quality: Special]

[Raise the support flag and call for air support, initiating an airstrike by a bombing formation on a designated area within a 10-kilometer range.]

[Each support order can only be used once. After each use, a new support order requires a 2-hour cooldown before it can be used again.]

(When resources are scarce, employ tactics; when resources are ample, apply firepower. The support order perfectly eradicates your deeply ingrained fear of lacking firepower.

Each bombing formation comprises 24 bomb-loaded flying machines, each equipped with four Type IV Magic Energy Bombs, slightly less powerful than goblin bombs of the same tier, but compensates with quantity.

The bombing formation will arrive at the predetermined location within ten minutes and execute a tactical bombing run.)

“I really underestimated things!”

“I didn’t expect the Lord System could produce items like this!”

“Isn’t this just an otherworldly version of a bomber formation?”

Zong Shen’s cheek muscles twitched inexplicably.

This support order gave him a feeling of incongruity, yet it certainly satisfied his deeply ingrained fear of insufficient firepower from his homeland!

However, upon considering that the bombing formation is entirely composed of magic energy flying devices, that sense of incongruity diminished significantly. Subsequently, Zong Shen began to estimate the bombing formation’s firepower.
