How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this place is not easy to deal with."

Hill was right. There were so many skeleton warriors guarding the door of his house. It was hard to imagine how many monsters were waiting for him inside.

But I don't care, because the purpose this time is simply to come here to test it out, not to directly wipe out this group of monsters.

Even if I wanted to do so, the troops I had wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps in the enemy's teeth. I thought about it and ordered some of the dark bats to attack.

More than eighty dark bats broke away from the team and quickly pounced on the skeleton warriors patrolling the entrance of the mine.

Perhaps the situation came too suddenly, and with the low intelligence of the skeleton warriors, they were unable to react immediately and were easily dispersed by the dark bats.

The health of many skeleton warriors dropped significantly, and they looked very embarrassed under such a rapid attack.

But it was just embarrassing.

Although the attack power of dark bats is generally higher than that of ordinary monsters in my settings, that is only for the same level. Facing a level 5 skeleton warrior, a dark bat can only deal a dozen points of damage at most.

Under the attack of the skeleton warriors, the dark bat's already fragile defense was as weak as thin paper, and it was killed instantly in two or three hits.

Compared to the stiff-moving skeleton warriors, the only advantage the dark bats have is probably their flexibility, but even that doesn't help much.

Therefore, after the skeleton warriors launched a counterattack, more than half of the eighty dark bats were killed or injured in an instant, while only more than ten skeleton warriors fell on the opposite side.

I ordered the remaining dark bats to retreat, because our goal had been achieved.

Inside the open-pit mine, a strange noise was heard from a huge mine cave. Several elite skeleton warriors walked out from the depths of the dark mine cave, surrounding the skeleton warrior in the middle.

The skeleton warrior looked no different from other monsters, but there were red flames burning in its eyes, its jaws opened and closed with a clattering sound, and a hoarse voice was heard.

"Intruder, who are you and why are you invading us?"

Obviously, this is a BOSS with only a certain level of intelligence.

One of the great charms of Era that distinguishes it from other online games is that most of the bosses in it have a certain degree of autonomous consciousness.

Players and these bosses are not necessarily hostile to each other and can even make friends with them through tasks or opportunities.

Of course, this doesn't mean that I'm here to make friends with the other party, but being polite is always necessary.

"Good evening, Mr. Skeleton..."

I paused, looking down slightly, realizing that this name seemed a little inappropriate, and thinking about it, there seemed to have never been any strange skeleton with an extra bone in the middle.

But I couldn't think of any other name for the moment, so I decided not to play nice with this guy. Besides, given his intelligence, there was no need to do so.

"Anyway, I'm here to take someone's life. You captured my monsters, so give them back to me."

"What an arrogant guy! Why should we listen to you?"

Seeing that this guy didn't seem to be willing to cooperate, I thought about it and revealed the name of the Demon King.

"Because I am the current Demon King of the Dark Camp!"

As the words fell, an invisible deterrent suddenly enveloped the area, and a debuff that reduced all attributes by 5% appeared above the heads of all the skeleton warriors on the opposite side.

Demon Deterrence, a passive skill similar to halo, is also one of his few skills. Obviously, this is enough to prove his identity.

"Impossible, with this kind of deterrence, are you really..."

The red flames in the skeleton warrior's eyes shrank violently, and his entire body retreated backwards.

I couldn't help but feel a little touched by the other party's frightened expression.

But before I could feel proud of myself for long, I noticed that the other person's gaze moved down a little, to my chest, with a puzzled look.

"But why is it not at all like the legendary fighting power?"

"..."

Before I had the chance to complain about why fighting power was related to breasts, Hill next to me explained it to me in a timely manner.

"Because the Demon King hasn't started to grow yet."

"There's no need to explain such stupid questions!"

However, for some reason, the guy on the opposite side suddenly became angry, "You really are the devil to have such a subordinate with a broken chest!"

Why do you confirm my identity as the Demon King in this way, and what's the matter with the disabled breasts?

Chapter 11 Complete Plan

The battle was suddenly on the verge of breaking out, and the enemy inexplicably commanded the surrounding monsters to launch a fierce attack on us.

After I reacted, I quickly ordered the team behind me and the remaining dark bats on the field to stop the group of skeleton warriors.

However, due to the difference in levels, and the fact that the Skeleton Warrior Elites attacking from behind were not easy to deal with, the Dark Bats were defeated one after another under the opponent's attacks.

"You actually colluded with the enemy class. Accept the punishment, you worthless devil!"

"Personal attacks are too much! Believe it or not, I will bring two thousand dark bats to raid your house!" Hearing the sarcastic words from the other side, I couldn't help but stomped my feet in anger.

"With this little bit of strength, it's better not to brag here."

The skeleton warrior's jaw opened and closed with a click, and as its voice fell, loud roars were heard from the large and small mines in the open-pit mine.

Countless skeleton warriors walked out from the depths of the mine, their eerie skeletons closely connected, and at first glance it looked like a sea of ​​white bones.

Roughly speaking, there are at least eight hundred skeleton warriors.

My face turned pale immediately and I quickly ordered all the dark bats under my command to retreat. However, during this time, the skeleton warriors had already surrounded us with their numerical advantage.

"Hey, Hill, does the dark camp treat the prisoners well?" I couldn't help swallowing, but I felt my body suddenly lose weight.

"No, the method of those skeletons is to turn the enemy into companions like them, so please hold me tight, Your Highness."

Hill picked me up, and the magic circle carved at the bottom of his feet burst into dazzling white light.

When we opened our eyes again, we found that we had been teleported back to the Demon King's Castle.

Then I remembered that although Hill could not help me directly, at least I didn't have to worry about my safety.

It’s just a pity that all those dark bats were left there, and they lost nearly 10 points of energy at once, which made me feel really sad.

And most importantly, there seems to be no solution to the problem.

More than 5 skeleton warriors, plus twenty elites, and a level boss.

This is the information that Hill collected. At the end, the pair of gray eyes looked at me.

"If you want to completely wipe out those skeleton warriors, it will be difficult to do with your current strength. What do you plan to do?"

What Hill said was not wrong. Those skeleton warriors alone were not easy to deal with. Even if he took all the dark bats he currently had, he would probably suffer heavy losses.

But if I have to sacrifice almost all of my wealth to wipe out this group of monsters, I will refuse no matter what.

"These guys need to be dealt with as soon as possible."

I bit my nails.

Because they suffered losses on their side, the skeleton warriors in the open-pit mine will definitely become more arrogant and plunder those monsters at will. If this continues, the situation they face will undoubtedly become worse.

It’s just that I didn’t expect the system message to pop up at this time.

System: Trigger the mission [The First Battle of the Great Journey]

Mission: The First Battle of the Great Journey

Mission Description: This is the first step for the Demon King to conquer the dark camp. Even if the opponent is very powerful, he must try every possible way and use any means to solve them.

Mission Objective: Capture the Grove Open-Pit Mine (0/1)

Mission rewards: 100 energy, 8000 experience, special building blueprint [Dark Cathedral], 300 black crystals, stardust fragments.

After all, I haven't figured out the main problem yet, so I just took a quick look and planned to ignore it. However, after noticing the words in the task description, I was stunned -

Try every possible way and use any means.

"What? It's true." I patted my head and couldn't help but smile. "I've been playing according to the framework, and my thinking has become rigid. I obviously knew the essence of the era a long time ago."

If it were an ordinary strategy game, then attacking an open-pit mine would simply be a test of military strength. There might be more detailed aspects such as hero bonuses, military type restraints, terrain restrictions, etc. Ultimately, it all depends on a framework.

But the era is different. It has an extremely high degree of freedom and it is not an exaggeration to call it the second world of mankind. Therefore, military operations have more possibilities just like in reality.

"Let me think about it. What is the weakness of the Skeleton race?"

There is no need for experience from previous lives. Just from the previous battle, it can be seen that the most direct weakness of the skeleton monster is its stiff body.

So how to take advantage of this is the key.

The most important thing is how to use this weakness to deal with so many skeleton warriors.

The strategy of using dark bats to fight is obviously not feasible. Even if their movements are restricted, the skeleton warriors still have the combat effectiveness they should have, and in the end there will still be heavy casualties.

So what other methods are there to minimize the losses?

"Hill, do you have any topographical information about the open-pit mine?" With an experimental mentality, I tried to ask Hill.

“I’ve sorted it out.”

Unexpectedly, Hill actually helped me compile a topographic map of the area around the open-pit mine. Looking at the information marked on the map, a bold idea came to my mind, and the existing conditions seemed to fit the current situation just right.

"Come on, let's go to the control room now."

Although the Heart of Herontis is already bound to me and I can issue commands at any time, the implementation of more specific content will undoubtedly rely on the functions of the control room. It is better to be accurate just in case.

When I arrived at the control room, I didn't stop, and immediately collected the 600 dark bats I had created, and converted them into 30 points of energy. Together with the remaining energy I had on hand, I now had a total of 90 points of energy.

I used 60 energy points to build the nests of slime and green monster respectively. The hatching conditions of both are the same as those of dark bats, so I don’t have to worry too much about the problem of insufficient materials.

After putting all the energy and dark elements into it, two groups of monsters soon appeared in the monster nest that was built.

A group of soft and bouncy slimes like jelly, with crystal clear appearance that makes people want to fall into them.

And a group of people wearing rags, like the short forest gnomes in fairy tales, holding all kinds of shabby weapons, but their dull appearance made it hard to imagine that they would have any fighting power.

I feel helpless about the fact that the dark camp always has these cute but non-intimidating guys. I can only hope that the high-level monsters in the future will look a little more "mature".

But it doesn’t matter. Now it’s enough to just deal with the things in front of us.

"Hill, take them and do as I say."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Chapter 12: Killing Skeletons

Ever since she defeated the flat-chested pink-haired girl who called herself the Demon King, Sataxia has been feeling uneasy.

Although she has learned that the so-called current Demon King is very weak, and the existing forces are just starting out, they are far inferior to those Demon Kings recorded in history, otherwise the current dark camp would not be torn apart.

But she was still worried.

"Ah, even though he looks weak now, with the help of that evil ** monster, he will definitely grow very fiercely. This is definitely a big crisis, a big crisis."

She felt that she needed to deal with the so-called **demon king as soon as possible, and rescue her from the "big cannonism" while the other party's strength was still in its infancy, and instill correct "proletarian" ideas in her.

The most important thing is that the Demon King clan has always had a profound foundation. With the seized resources, I will surely be able to restore my strength soon.

Satasia knew that this kind of plan must be well deployed, but it was always a good idea to give the other party some trouble.

"Go occupy the nearby collection point and capture the monsters as well."

He gave orders to the red-eyed skeleton warrior, asking him to lead some monsters to the dark element collection point.

In fact, this skeleton warrior was not the boss that Xia and I had guessed. It was simply under the mental control of Satashia.

The reason why Satashia is obsessed with capturing monsters is simply because the dark elements collected by the monsters can restore his strength.

But before the Skeleton Warriors headed to the collection point, I had already withdrawn most of them, leaving only five monsters behind -

This allows me to collect some dark elements during this period. Even if it's just a few, it's enough to replenish a lot of troops.

Satasia did not find this result strange. On the contrary, being able to capture these monsters was already very good.

The dark elements that could be collected by the eight monsters plus the energy crystals that he had collected during this period were enough to create a strong skeleton army.

So Satasia was not in a hurry and planned to take a break for a while.

However, what Satasia did not expect was that before she could attack, the opponent took the initiative to counterattack her.

"The enemy is attacking?"

So after receiving the news from the Skeleton Warrior, Satashia's first reaction was confusion.

However, when she was controlling the skeleton warriors in the open-pit mine and saw that there were only a few hundred dark bats attacking her, she finally understood what the other party was planning.
