MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

The jungle guardians mated with the Earth Princess, hence giving birth to the race of centaurs.

In the Ancient Times, they had fought alongside dark elves, minotaurs, and even boar men against the Demon Legion. Only after a brutal war did they manage to repel the Demon Legion, thereby preserving the world.

However, as time passed, the descendants of the jungle guardians gradually split into many tribes. Pursuing power, they were each deceived by the ancient gods or the guardians of nightmares.

They formed an alliance, and together, they killed the jungle guardian. Ever since then, the centaurs have been divided.

They subsequently became violent and barbaric. Over thousands of years, due to their hatred of other races, they were gradually ostracized by all races.

In the eyes of the three major factions, their downfall was as lamentable as that of the boar men.

However, centaurs still possess a strong ability to reproduce and fight. As their numbers expanded, so did their territories.

Gradually, they began having territorial disputes with the minotaurs, which resulted in a war that has lasted for over a thousand years.

However, due to the centaurs’ total suppression of the minotaurs, the minotaurs suffered constant defeats. Now, they can only hide in a single area, facing the danger of extermination.

If it weren’t for the assistance of the orcs and trolls, the few tribes of minotaurs would have been completely wiped out.

This is what led to the alliance of the three major factions against the centaurs. The Dark Camp seeks self-protection. The Light Faction desires territory, as they continue to assert themselves in the West Continent. The Neutral Faction is, as always, mediating the conflict.

Amid the disorderly sounds of hoof-beats, everyone saw many centaurs emerging from the post, all of them different from the ordinary centaurs they had encountered before.

These centaurs of the tribe emitted a black aura, and their hooves were as black as ink, almost dreamlike. They burned with black flames. Wherever they roamed, the ground was left scarred with signs of corrosion and scorching. This is why they were called the Evil Hoof Tribe.

“An estimated number of around 500.” Shadow Dance said quickly, having made his assessment. As a thief, one not only needed to scout but also to possess numerous other essential skills.

Like in the current situation, the system would not provide you with numerical data. You had to make quickly estimates yourself.

“We can fight. Get ready.” Li Yao breathed a sigh of relief. At present, the team’s manpower was too small. If the number of centaur-attacking forces was too large, they wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Of course, 500 attackers are already quite terrifying. If it were any other team, they would have fled at the first sign of danger. Only Li Yao had the confidence to hold off 500 charging centaurs.

During the assembly process, the remaining members of the squad were also busy, setting up some things on their part.

“This Shadow Dance is really skilled, quite talented. I wonder why he’s been so unknown until now,” Unparalleled Enchantress asked, puzzled.

Before Li Yao could reply, Dandan interrupted, “Humph, he’s my little brother. He used to hang out with me. But big brother has taken him away. It’s so unfair.”

“The manager probably doesn’t know. Because of Shadow Dance’s difficult family situation, he was helped by the manager. After overcoming the hard times, Shadow Dance became a high-ranking member of the guild. Furthermore, the manager taught him how to play the thief role. Even though Shadow Dance was already quite skilled, he wasn’t as extraordinary without the help.”, Happiness is A Disease explained.

The Unparalleled Enchantress being the club manager was no secret within the guild. For such an enchanting lady, the men in the group were quite envious. On the other hand, Li Yao had also stated that he would not interfere with the selection of team members, which was the responsibility of the Enchantress. For most members, naturally, the Enchantress was quite sought after.

After all, joining the battle team meant getting an extra income as benefits. Starfire Guild’s benefits were well known, and for experts, who wouldn’t want to enter the arena? This led to the current situation.

“So, you can teach someone how to play the thief. I didn’t see that coming. Teach me how to play the class too, when you have time.” Unparalleled Enchantress said, surprised.

Li Yao waved his hand, “Don’t listen to his nonsense, Shadow Dance was already good at his craft. His strength came from his own hard work.”

“Boss, you’re being too modest…” Shadow Dance couldn’t help but comment.

“Enough. Stop being distracted. Calculate the distance.”, Li Yao said.

After a while, Shadow Dance announced, “Estimated distances are one thousand yards, eight hundred yards, six hundred yards, four hundred yards…”

“Prepare the Plague Catapult,” Li Yao commanded.

“It is already set up,” the Unparalleled Enchantress replied.

“Fire!” Li Yao commanded.

At Li Yao’s command, the Unparalleled Enchantress launched the Plague Catapult.

Thud…

A Plague Barrel glowing green and emitting a sickening gas was launched into the air…

“Everyone, drink your potions,” Li Yao said, as he swallowed a potion himself.

Basic immunity potion: Provides immunity from common plague infections and corrosion for one hour.

Everyone consumed their potions and the Plague Barrel traced an arc over their heads and landed amidst a line of centaurs.

Boom…

Large amounts of green plague gas quickly spread, causing many of the centaurs to become infected. Their faces twisted in agony.

Although his HP did not drop significantly, his speed visibly slowed down.

In an instant, at least a hundred centaurs were infected by the disease, which continued to spread relentlessly.

The centaurs’ lines instantly fell into chaos.

“In a war game, it’s just like in the wilderness. All means can be employed without any restrictions,” Li Yao said to the awestruck members. “Ballistas, prepare!”, he ordered.

Along with Li Yao’s command, the ballistas loaded with arrows also started, including six Li Yao himself activated.

A gigantic crossbow arrow glowing with green light shot out.

Thud, thud, thud, thud…

Because of the plague, the front lines had already fallen into chaos and were unable to dodge the crossbow arrows.

One by one, the crossbow arrows penetrated the centaur lines. The force of the ballista was too great, coupled with the unique armor-breaking poison.

Each crossbow arrow at least penetrated five or six centaurs before losing power. The first volley left more than thirty centaurs maimed.

Woooh…

A centaur wielding a blade engraved with strange runes roared.

The disorganized centaurs charged once more towards Li Yao’s lines. Meanwhile, several groups of centaurs detached from the main lines and each charged a ballista.

Li Yao also quickly loaded his ballista and calmly said, “Everyone prepare for the centaur’s charge. The second wave, prepare to fire.”…
