Dark Eldar

"Kevin Garnier, what else is interesting here? Zerg? Heh, what a ridiculous thing." Dark stood alone on the city wall, watching the spectacle.

Gludin Square has basically been dug through by the insects. Thankfully, the city's buildings are all supported by "magical foundation stones." While the insects are mindless, their instincts prevent them from biting into stones; "loose soil" is their favorite food. Worms are ancient, primitive creatures that feed on moist mud. Hard stones are beyond their "teeth"... If worms could bite through "pebbles," then this other world would probably have been hollowed out by the insectoid race long ago... (Note: Historically, the insectoid race is a bug! They have been conquered by the "indigenous ancestors." Their excrement, "fermented loose soil," is a type of soil with special nutrients, used in "herbalism"; earthworms are their descendants.)

Female soldiers have also come to "fight monsters"! The alluring woman and a dozen female soldiers clashed at the edge of the plaza! There were fewer insects here. Some banshees leveled up twice on the spot. The former city lord's daughter also leveled up.

The strongest fighters are still the elven siblings. Their Tier T armor can taunt most insects (high-level enchantment, no courage points required), resulting in a bloody, continuous hacking and slashing massacre! A single strike of Ilet's "Wind Whisperer's Greatsword" can kill at least 50 larvae!!

Ludar went even further! He used fire directly, gathering all the Death Knight mages with fire skills in one area and unleashing "Hellfireball" on the densest area of ​​the insects! (This differs from otherworldly fire mages; in wartime, Ludar has the authority to command all troops.)

Several hours passed, and the number of insects emerging from the ground remained unchanged, seemingly endless.

"Does it really have to be me?" Dark muttered to himself. He had already "disappeared" and patrolled the city several times before. He had seen the insects. He had even killed some to check their loot. As for the rumored "Demon Clan"? Dark had experienced them firsthand (he had ambushed a Demon Clan patrol lieutenant, who was "utterly defeated"), but he had underestimated the power of their allies—the insectoid race. Based on their levels, the elf siblings, the Irete and the Irete, were not much different from Dark, yet the insect-killing ability of a high-level warrior was still limited. (This also depends on the warrior's skills; if there were a frost mage present, a full "Frost Nova" combo would be invincible!; Note: Frost magic belongs to pure light magic, which the dark mages of the DK Legion cannot learn.)

Lord Dark felt he could easily wipe out the insects one swarm at a time; he probably overestimated himself.

Dark ultimately didn't join the battle. As the city lord, he couldn't easily deplete his mana. What if the insects were wiped out, and a truly powerful enemy appeared? Dark would definitely be in trouble. His years of "combat experience" in another world told Dark: "Hold on! Hold on!"

Real-time combat casualty statistics: "33 dead; 353 poisoned; 60,000 Zerg dead, 20,000 wounded." The soldiers bitten by the worms were all scouts; there were virtually no heroes or elite monsters. Most were below level 20. Heroes above level 20 would drink health potions and apply bandages as needed. The low-level soldiers (around level 10-15) were inherently weak; even with potions constantly on their lips, they couldn't withstand the worms' "corpse poison" (poison buff). It wasn't too painful, causing a loss of about 3-5 health points per second for 5 minutes. If bitten by two worms, the loss would be 6-10 health points per second.

Bounty hunters lurked in the shadows, observing the insects' loot. The insects mostly dropped "teeth," "hard bones," and "coarse hair." Collecting a set (50) and selling them to the general store only yielded 60 silver coins—a complete loss for the bounty hunters. Lord Dark didn't blame them; after all, they chose the bounty hunters! (The hidden quest "Collect Hair Samples" offers a substantial reward, but the "shrewd" bounty hunters are unaware of it.)

The Slayer is the most active, leaping back and forth through swarms of insects (dodging!). His swordsmanship proficiency has already reached "Master level," his maximum limit at level 40. If he wants to level up further, he must quickly reach level 50. Without major battles, elite monsters have no chance to level up to 50 (incredibly difficult), which is the Slayer's "dream."

There's also a "minor" matter worth mentioning. The Slayer has recently been experiencing knee pain. His high agility is disproportionate to his previously strong physique. Furthermore, since the forced attribute change, the Slayer has been using the basic skill "Jump" far too frequently. He doesn't dare question Lord Dark about it. He reluctantly pretends everything is fine (he's been given an important position, as a battalion commander).

Dark didn't know much about the Slayer's situation; after all, in Dark's eyes, let alone the Slayer's knees, even the Slayer's life was insignificant.
