Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree

Chapter 228: Chapter 222 Who Are You Exactly?

The Crocodile Mercenary Corps had been annihilated…

Throughout the entire battle, it went so smoothly that even Eve was astounded.

Over a thousand mercenaries, except for the rare lucky few who ran fast enough, all perished under the players’ slaughter…

In contrast, the players only suffered less than three hundred casualties.

Among these, more than a dozen were player captives killed by enraged mercenaries, and a few unfortunate ones who were accidentally crushed by Black Dragon Mairrel when she descended to the ground…

The Cave Spider Knights all survived, with only a few sustaining injuries.

It could be said that this casualty ratio was quite glorious.

At this moment, Eve suddenly realized why the morale of the army was so important in Blue Star’s medieval times.

To be fair, although the players outnumbered the Crocodile Mercenary Corps two-to-one, in terms of strength, the mercenaries were actually not inferior to the players.

On the contrary, in terms of high-level combat forces, except for the Black Dragon, the players were much weaker than the mercenaries.

Logically speaking, under the premise that the Black Dragon did not intervene and the players lost their ability to run to the resurrection point, the mercenaries should have had the upper hand.

However, the fact was that the Black Dragon merely played a role of intimidation, Divine Favored Ail barely made a move, and the players themselves shattered the mercenary formation like a withering attack, pursuing the mercenaries as if they were slicing through melon and cabbage…

Eve even personally witnessed some players of the Black Iron Lower Rank chasing and chopping down Black Iron Middle or even Upper mercenaries, howling as they did so.

The latter, despite clearly having greater strength, abandoned their weapons and fled in panic, only to embarrassingly fall to their inferior enemies…

“In large-scale battles, the role of morale and organization far exceeds individual strength, unless an individual’s strength is truly immense, capable of qualitatively transforming the battlefield situation, like… the Black Dragon! Otherwise, when the strength difference is not significant, it is always the side with higher morale and better organization that wins!”

“Although I limited the players’ infinite resurrection, they were still unafraid of death, and remained undaunted by injury or pain. One could say… they naturally had stronger willpower and morale!”

“And with the existence of team mode, group communication, and minimaps, they naturally had relatively higher organization.”

“Perhaps their discipline was lacking, but when they were truly organized into an army, quantitative change led to qualitative change…”
