"what to do..."
"Damn... why am I so unlucky?"
At this moment, a pack of jackals surrounded the lord.
This world.
The location of a lord's birth follows only one rule.
That is the birthplace between lords, more than three kilometers apart.
There are no other rules.
This also means that lords may appear in some extremely dangerous places.
Sometimes, the lord might even appear next to a level 30 beast's lair.
At this point, the lord was truly in deep trouble.
While he was exploring the map, he encountered a pack of jackals.
There were a total of twenty of these level 5 monsters.
One of them was a ferocious jackal of level 7.
It's a hero-level monster.
They encountered such a powerful horde of beasts right from the start.
This was a terrible experience.
"Oh shit..."
call!
Bang! Bang!
Beside him, an elite warrior was simultaneously attacked by three jackals.
-3
-6
-4
Although this elite warrior managed to block the attack.
However, it still suffered some damage.
Early-game units have extremely low health.
Every drop of blood is extremely important.
These jackals surrounded them, giving them no chance to escape.
At the same time, they continued to fight in shifts.
It drains their energy.
They attempted to kill the lord with minimal losses.
The lord was almost driven to despair.
Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a creature walking towards him from a distance.
This creature was dressed in brown, spiked armor.
Tall in stature.
It is a full two meters tall.
The lord recognized what it was at a glance!
"The Thorn Guardian?"
After recognizing this type of soldier, the lord completely disregarded his own dignity!
"Help me! Help me!"
After he shouted for help.
At the same time, he looked at the information about the thorny guardian.
The Thorn Guardian
[Level: 1]
"Hold..."
"How come it's a level one Thorn Guardian?"
A level 1 Thorn Guardian only has 80 health.
Even elite-level guardians are no different from those made of paper.
However, when this thorny guardian appeared.
All the jackals shifted their target there.
Every profession has its own hidden nature.
The Guardian class has a built-in ability to attract aggro.
"Damn it... whatever, as long as it can attract attention for a while, that's fine."
"Luckily I don't have any Guardian units, otherwise the aggro would probably still be on me."
The lord saw the jackals shift their target.
Immediately organize troops and prepare for escape.
Almost immediately afterward.
The pack of jackals then fiercely pounced on the thorn guardian!
Awooooo—
Ding ding ding ding—
-4
-3
-2
-4
-3
...
A series of damage numbers appeared!
However, none of these damage numbers came from the Thorn Guardians.
Instead, it appeared on these jackals.
The Thorn Guardian's health bar remained completely still.
Twenty jackals attacked.
The Thorn Guardian stood motionless, like a wooden stake.
The lord had only run a few meters.
But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of this scene.
The lord hesitated for a moment.
As he fled, he turned to look at the health bar of the Thorn Guardian.
The Thorn Guardian is being besieged by a pack of jackals!
The jackals' eyes turned red with rage at the sight of the thorn guardian.
The guardians possess a faint aura of taunting.
Its taunting ability is especially effective against monsters that lack intelligence!
At this time, under siege
The thorn guardian's health bar remained unchanged.
No...
To be precise.
His health bar only had a small portion remaining.
Only then did the lord notice.
This Thorn Guardian even has a thick shield bar on its health bar.
This shield is six times thicker than the health bar.
The most outrageous thing is...
A level one Thorn Guardian is facing an attack from dozens of jackals.
They weren't hurt at all!
"Damn... what's going on?"
The lord was also dumbfounded.
Before entering the Blue Realm, he had also looked at many unit illustrations.
A lord who excels in academics.
"[Thorn Guardian]is a rare type of unit, with an elite aptitude level."
"Its initial health is 80 points, and its defense is 15 points."
"It belongs to the type that is high in defense and low in offense."
"The attack power of these jackals is about 20 points on average."
"It is virtually impossible for it to cause any harm."
"Only when one's own defense is more than ten times that of the opponent's attack power can one achieve complete damage immunity."
"Doesn't this mean that this level 1 Thorn Guardian has more than 200 points of defense?"
Upon realizing this, the lord was completely dumbfounded.
This thorny guardian was beyond his comprehension!
And what's with this shield?
This shield value must be over 500 points, right?
With a shield that provides 500 health points in the early game, wouldn't you be unstoppable?
Who created this monstrous unit?
Keep in mind that the lord has only been in the Blue Realm for less than an hour.
Most of the lords' troops were not upgraded to level 5.
The barracks haven't even been built yet.
Almost all of them are in their weakest period, when basic resources are scarce.
Not to mention obtaining any rare items.
The rarest items are obtained from the Lord's Trial.
But to elevate a Thorn Guardian to this level is something else entirely.
Even an A-level trial rating wouldn't grant access to such powerful items.
Improvements in this world are all percentage-based.
To raise the Thorn Guardian's defense to over 200 points, it needs to be increased by at least 10 times.
This... is simply unbelievable!
This is why the lord was so shocked.
By observing a single spot, one can discern the whole leopard; by merely seeing this small phenomenon, one can know the horror behind it.
And just as the lord was in shock.
Behind the pack of jackals, the ferocious jackal (hero) remained hidden and motionless.
They've finally made their move!
Whoosh!
In an instant, the [Ferocious Jackal] pounced directly at the Thorn Guardian!
[Tearing Claws]
Bang!
It slammed a claw down on the Thorn Guardian.
An "Immunity" buff still appeared on the Thorn Guardian.
And this ferocious jackal actually suffered 30 points of damage reflected back!
And upon seeing this scene...
The lord, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, had a face that was all scrunched up.
Ordinary jackals can't even break through its defenses.
This is insane! Even a hero-level jackal can't break through its defenses?
Just how high must this defense be!
