Chapter 610 - 610: Battle of Panas Instance, These Annoying Elves Appreciates Good Looks
[Instance: Battle of Panas]
[Difficulty]: 7 Stars
[Terrain]: Coast, Ocean
[Races]: Humans, Elves, Orcs, Demons, Sea Clans
[Average Tier]: Tier 5,1 Star
[Average Level]: Level 40
[Instance Background]: This is a massive-scale naval battle that took place after humans joined forces with elves against the Orcs and Demons belonging to the Barbaric and Chaotic Divine Lineages. The defenders on the Panas Coast were clearly unprepared and gradually fell into a significant disadvantage against the incoming Orc fleet and the lurking demon army hidden in the shadows.
[Maximum Participants]: 8
[Completion Requirement]: Help the humans and elves stationed at the Panas Coast win the war.
[Hint 1]: If assistance can be obtained from the neutral Sea Clans, it may help to turn the tide to some extent.
[Hint 2]: The instance will not lead to real deaths; all troops that die during the instance will be resurrected at the end.
[Hint 3]: In the normal course of events, hundreds of thousands of human and elf troops will be completely wiped out in the Battle of Panas. The Orcs and Demons will establish a forward base on this coast, using it as a springboard to attack the core of the Orderly Divine Lineage’s territory. The focus of this operation is to stop the Orc army from successfully landing on the coast while facing the harassment of demons.
[Hint 4]: Since the human-elf alliance has formed not long ago, the elves still have some disdain and wariness towards humans. In this instance, humans will be somewhat excluded by the elves.
[Hint 10]: Instance rewards depend on completion rate; the higher the completion rate, the richer the rewards.
After reading the information shared by Tian Shu, Ji Chen gained a rough understanding of this instance.
With a 7-star difficulty, it was one of the highest-level instances among players, and none of the other 7-star instances that had appeared had been completed by players.
Based on the instance background and hints, it was clear that this was a massive battle involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers that took place hundreds of thousands of years ago. The average strength of Tier 5,1-star, and level 40 units made most players hesitate. However, it was evident that this instance was not limited to Tier 5,1-star enemies…
No wonder Tian Shu and the others looked so grim.
After a moment of contemplation, Ji Chen looked at them and asked, “How did you fail in your previous attempts?”
Tian Shu sighed and said, “Some were turned into sieves by the Orc fleet’s ballistae, some were overwhelmed by the Orc landing forces, and some were devoured in one bite by the sea beasts tamed by the Orcs. There were various ways to die.
The longest we held out was a little over fifty minutes.”
As he spoke, a look of indignation suddenly appeared on Tian Shu’s face, and he glanced around before speaking softly.
“There were even those killed by those proud elves.”
Ji Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, “Aren’t the elves supposed to be allies? How could they be killed by friendly forces?”
A young female lord in the team frowned and said indignantly, “The elves in the instance are much more arrogant than they are in reality. Big Boss, you must have seen the hints, right? At that time, the elves had just formed an alliance with humans, but internally, they still looked down upon the relatively weaker humans.
On our fourth attempt in the instance, we were finally making some headway. However, out of the blue, we received news that the elven commander and over ten of his subordinates had been brutally killed by a formidable Demon Hunter. This shocking event threw the elven army into disarray, and before we knew it, the Orcs had launched a swift invasion.
During our fifth try, we had the intention to offer a friendly reminder to the elves. However, before we could even get close to them, we were wrongfully charged with neglecting our duties and executed immediately. This left us feeling incredibly frustrated, and for nights on end, we lay awake, gnashing our teeth in frustration.
The most infuriating part is that after so many deaths, our completion rate is still not even 0.1%!”
Ji Chen struggled to maintain his composure.
“If you want to laugh, Big Boss, you can go ahead.”
Tian Shu sighed again. “In this instance, the elves and humans were weaker than the enemies, and yet, they still rejected each other during the crucial battle. It’s no wonder they were easily defeated by the Orcs and demons.
To be honest, we couldn’t think of any methods to change the course of the instance in just one hour before the battle began.”
Indeed, they could only enter the instance with eight people and their respective armies, but they would have to face a powerful, fanatical Orc and demon army numbering in the hundreds of thousands, unafraid of death and guided by prophecies. They didn’t even know if they could survive.
In addition, the completion requirement for the instance was to help the human and elven armies stationed at Panas Coast win the war. According to common sense, this difficulty was far from ordinary.
“Alright, let’s enter the instance and give it a try. Let the Big Boss get familiar with it first.”
Tian Shu clapped his hands, and the team members all rallied.
“That’s right, with the Big Boss Islander faction, maybe we can complete it before our usage limit is exhausted. The rewards will definitely be amazing!” “Exactly!”
Tian Shu and the others appeared quite optimistic, which brought a smile to Ji Chen’s face. “I’ll do my best.”
Tian Shu nodded and took out the instance key. After a brief pause, they were enveloped in a beam of light descending from the sky, disappearing from their original location.
The next moment, they found themselves in a circular floating plaza, surrounded by the vast expanse of stars. Eight smaller circular floating platforms were suspended around them, resembling the interior of the Irante Temple or a preparation hall of some sort.
“Big Boss Islander, you just need to silently focus on placing the selected army units on the platforms in your mind..”
