Healing spells copy everything, I've cleared the Abyss

Chapter 244 The First Battle: All-Out Attack!

After some commotion, a sizable army finally appeared before Lin Ye.

On the ground, fierce earth dragon knights served as the front line in the charge.

Following them are the core force of heavily armored infantry with magic runes, with elven archers and various mages providing support and assistance from behind.

In the sky, the Dragon Riders and Iron Winged Eagles, two top-tier units, provide protection.

It can be said that this army was extremely luxurious.

"Perfect!"

Lin Ye looked at the army, which numbered only about a thousand, and clapped his hands with satisfaction.

They may not be many, but they are all elite soldiers!
In a battle, a single super-powerful unit can be equivalent to hundreds or thousands of low-level units. Although the number of such units may be small, their actual combat power is definitely superior.

"Half an hour has already passed?"

Lin Ye checked the game's progress time and was surprised to find that half an hour had already passed while he was selecting his unit.

There was no way around it; before entering the game, he knew absolutely nothing about these unit types.

So when I was choosing a unit, I did spend some time learning about the unit's skills and the synergies between different units.

For Lin Ye, a complete novice, it was already quite an achievement to be able to assemble such a seemingly flawless army within half an hour.

Many players who have played the game several times may not be able to do what Lin Ye did.

"Giving only ten minutes to prepare is really not giving beginners enough time at all."

Lin Ye couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

Among the sheer number of unit types that can be overwhelming, it takes quite a bit of time to weed out the bad ones.

We also need to make combinations among a small number of high-quality troop types. How can ten minutes be enough time?

Clearly, Gongsun deliberately set this timeframe.

As for the purpose...

It's not hard to imagine that this guy was definitely trying to get his agents moving quickly and catch his opponents off guard.

After all, as a game designer, it was not a big problem for him to reveal the details of various unit types and even their combinations to his agent in advance.

For Gongsun, this level of behavior probably wouldn't even qualify as cheating, and the punishment he would receive would naturally be negligible.

However, he probably didn't expect that Lin Ye would directly filter out the low-level, mid-level, and even mid-to-high-level troops, which account for the largest proportion of the troops, and directly select from the top-level troops to match his army.

It must be said that even among top-tier units, there are still quite a few unreliable ones.

However, that only applies to top-tier units. Against other unit types, top-tier units still possess near-overwhelming combat power.

This is why Lin Ye only considers top-tier troops.

This way, you can get to the point directly and avoid many detours.

Of course, Lin Ye also exchanged for a number of small units for reconnaissance, similar to the mechanical puppets that Lin Ye often used.

Because controlling the puppets also involves using personal abilities, Lin Ye cannot use his own mechanical animals and can only exchange for some reconnaissance units.

Of course, for the sake of secrecy, he could not reveal his secret of being able to use mechanical puppets in Gongsun's game.

After all, his Holy Light profession has absolutely nothing to do with the talent of controlling mechanical puppets.

Even if he were exposed, no one would be able to guess how Lin Ye managed to do it. But he still wanted to try his best to avoid that situation from happening.

Fortunately, the scout unit provided in the game is similar to the puppet crow in its ease of use.

However, due to their lack of combat power and the high price of mid-to-high-level units, most players are probably unwilling to invest too many resources in these units, especially in the early stages.

However, Lin Ye believed that this small price to pay was not a problem at all.

"We're practically blind from the start of the battle. How are we supposed to use scouts if we don't exchange for some points?" Lin Ye complained.

Lin Ye felt that investing in this type of soldier was worthwhile.

After all, with thorough reconnaissance, one can prepare for combat in advance, or flee immediately if things go wrong.

Especially for Lin Ye, after gaining the talent to control puppets, he had long been accustomed to the convenience brought by this full field of vision.

It gives you the feeling of looking down on the battlefield and playing a real-time strategy game.

From this perspective, playing this game is incredibly convenient.

With the assistance of numerous swift falcons used for reconnaissance, Lin Ye quickly discovered a bandit stronghold to his southeast.

These outposts are for players to farm experience points when they enter the game.

After all, players need to use experience points to summon units, and the little experience points given at the beginning are simply not enough.

Therefore, at the start of the game, players must clear out monsters and various strongholds as quickly as possible to gain enough experience points to invest in building their own army.

Otherwise, we will fall far behind in terms of troop strength, making it impossible to keep up with the opponent's pace and thus be left far behind.

As for the forest...

Even if you clear out all the monsters and strongholds on the map, you still won't have as many experience points as Lin Ye.

So from another perspective, Lin Ye doesn't need to farm monsters or strongholds at all; he can just chase other opponents all over the map and that's it.

Clearing out this bandit stronghold at this time was just Lin Ye wanting to test the power of his troops.

And coincidentally, this bandit stronghold was not far away, so why should Lin Ye be polite?

Just flatten it.

Under Lin Ye's command, the entire army rushed towards the bandit stronghold.

If other players saw this, they would probably be completely speechless.

These bandits are equivalent to the most basic unit in terms of combat strength. This stronghold has a total of less than thirty bandits, which can be said to be used by players to gain confidence at the beginning of the game.

You're using an army composed entirely of top-tier troops to attack?

Isn't that a bit outrageous?
A torrent swept through, almost completely flattening the stronghold.

Looking at his own army, which had suffered no losses whatsoever, Lin Ye felt a pang of regret...

If I had known, I should have only sent a small number of troops to besiege this stronghold.

Only in this way can we clearly see the specific combat capabilities of these military units.

At that very moment, Lin Ye received an alarm from a swift falcon: an army was approaching.
