Chapter 146 - The Southern Oasis Crisis And The Treasure Of Serbal (VIII) (2/2)
”...I see. So it is a very confidential matter that you won't divulge further on this one. Alright. I don't have any reason to push it out of your mouth since I was just trying to satisfy my curiosity. But if you change your mind and you want to tell me more, you can talk to me.”
It looks like I just dodged a bullet. Thankfully, she wasn't that curious and is not the same as Dolly who would pester you nonstop until you tell her what she needed to know. However, I don't think I needed to tell her anything. She will know sooner or later since Queen Tanya has to rally the troops to fight against the final raid boss.
”Lads, we are nearing the Central Area of the oasis! I am seeing multiple movements of demons and monsters! There are also multiple sentry towers up ahead!” Queen Tanya alerted us.
Hearing Queen Tanya's warning, I went near Queen Tanya's spot and also spotted what she just relayed. The two girls also approached and peek out curiously.
”That's a lot of enemies! Are we going to be able to get to the main boss like this?! We won't be able to clear this area today with just the four of us!” Harmless Sparrow said.
”Hold your horses, guys. Who said we are going to charge in without thinning the horde of monsters ahead of us?” I declared and pulled out my weapon and transformed it into a cannon. For some reason, the cannon from my Versatile Weapon changed with a form that is somewhat different from its previous form. However, I didn't move into the details on it and aimed it at the sentry tower that first locked into my eye.
”Dolly, fire off your strongest AOE attack and target those towers. Don't worry if it is a long cooldown spell or if it consumes a lot of mana. We just needed to damage the sentry tower enough or much better if we can at least destroy it.”
”Alright!” Dolly quickly assumed the position and started chanting the spell for the AOE magic. Since the AOE magic, which deals quite a large radius of the area has long incantations and needs to be spoken orally to perform, magicians needed to either ambush the enemy using it, be protected by tanks while chanting, or use it like how Dolly is doing it.
”How about me Bladeheart? I don't have any long-range magic or skill that can be fired as far as the two of you!” Harmless Sparrow asked as she is holding the hilt of her sword.
”Wait when we are nearing the ground. You two with Tanya will be the ones charging to beat up the other attackers. Beat them up as soon as we land!”
”Alright!” Harmless Sparrow said as she readied herself.
”YES! YES! YES! This is the kind of fight I am looking forward to!” Queen Tanya grinned as she materializes her big scythe.
As for me, I aimed the cannon at the Sentry Tower that looks eerily creepy. As to why I need to take it out first is that this building is capable of detecting our presence while we are in the vicinity of the tower. Invisibility and other camouflage spells or effects a player has active, won't work against the sentry tower and will rip out those buffs off of you. With them, the enemies will be also buffed if those towers are still standing. Destroying them will not only reduce their advantage against us, they will also be less threatening.
So, breaking them all down to pieces is a must.
”BLOW THEM UP!”
