Chapter 117 - So Many Towers! (1/2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The Blademaster chased after the running Archmage, both of them had boots, so they couldn’t catch one another.
The chat was also starting to get excited.
“Wow, isn’t this Silent guy the tentacle monster? Why isn’t he microing?”
“Are you stupid? What can you do as an Archmage being chased by a Blademaster?”
“Humans can’t beat orcs, nothing to see here.”
“What the, the Archmage is about to die!”
“Oh man, he lived with a sliver of health. Not bad, now he can buy potions and replenish his army and go again!”
“Blademaster wants to locate Archmage! They found the Human base!”
“The second hero for the Humans is here, the Mountain King!”
“The Blademaster is stunned, and is now surrounded! Blademaster has to retreat!”
The streamer was trying their best to commentate the game, and the viewers were getting incredibly excited.
It was clear that there was a battle to be had from the start, and the viewers were quite naturally quite excited. There were even viewers going to other channels to get them to watch the match, and because of that, the viewer count kept increasing!
“The Humans started mining! But why are they still training Footmen and Peasants, the Raiders from the Orcs are already here!
“Building towers? Do they plan to drag it onto late game?
“It’s over, the Orcs discovered the mine!
“The Humans are at a disadvantage!
“What? The Guard Tower is finished? The Blademaster has chased the Archmage for too long, and his Wind Walk is running out!
“It’s over, Blademaster is surrounded! Could you believe that the Blademaster got surrounded!”
“The Blademaster is dead!
“This Mountain King threatens Blademaster too much!
“The Orcs haven’t given up, the Shadow Hunter has a huge army behind him, trying to kill that pesky Mountain King!
“They can’t kill him, the Mountain King deeps running around the tower! This movement is incredible!
“Oh no, the orcs are retreating, and the Mountain King only spared one Raider, that’s not worth it!
“Oh my goodness, even a god like him can’t stop Silent?
“Don’t worry, this is not over yet, the Humans only have a bunch of low tier units. Didn’t they take over the mines using Guard Towers? The Orcs are mining too! The game is still too close to tell who might win!”
The game entered a stalemate.
Nightwind wasn’t dumb and wasn’t going to send more of his troops to try and take over the mine when it didn’t work the first time. He decided to focus on killing neutrals, gaining levels, as well as training high tier units. He wanted to defeat the Humans by using his superior research before the Humans could convert all their resources into manpower.
“Another tower? My goodness, this mine already has seven Guard Towers!
“There’s another mine on the top of the map! Three towers right away! What’s this ridiculous strategy!
“They’re still building, he’s not done yet!
“Look, the Humans skipped right over the mid tier units and went straight for Gryphons!
“Double Gryphon Aviaries training Gryphons! The humans are so rich!
“Orcs are training Troll Riders.
“I think something is about to hit Nightwind god!”
The Orcs were in a rush, but there wasn’t much they could do. The main force of Orcs were as usual, Blademaster, Shadow Hunter, Grunts, Raiders, Spirit Walkers and Troll Riders. Although this army was quite strong, the humans didn’t want to battle outside their base at all!
The humans on the other hand had Archmage and Mountain as well as some garbage Footmen, but they relied on Guard Towers. The Orcs had no chance of breaking their defence. Humans also had multiple mines and had plenty of gold, and could afford anything they liked such as Scroll of Town Portal, various healing potions, and Invulnerability Potions. And with the help of the Guard Towers, no matter where the Orcs decided to attack, the Heroes on the Human side could teleport anywhere, putting the Orcs in a difficult situation.
The Orcs were favourable at the start, but when the double Gryphon Aviaries came alone, the tides of battle turned immediately.
