Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 18 Hero Units
Although the pixel style is the best choice for low cost, because it is made up of pixels, once there are too many NPCs on the same screen, it will become difficult to tell who is who.

Perhaps for this reason, once an army-scale battle begins, it will automatically be transformed into the form of a war chess game.

"Hiss! Is that brain matter? How big of a vengeance is this?"

However, no matter how clear it was, it was just pixelated and there was no feeling of disgust at all. Mixed with the deafening thunder outside the window, Li Chengxi watched while eating instant noodles.

The second round had already passed. The bandits, who had been hit by two waves of arrows, finally rushed to the front of the soldiers and smashed their shields with weapons such as axes, hammers and sticks.

But it seems that none of them have broken through...

As long as the soldiers are not at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, it is easy for them to deal with the bandits. The difference in equipment and training is too great, and the bandits who come forward will soon be defeated by the spearmen.

And Viola has a secret weapon.

At the back, there were four guys wearing robes, whose identities couldn't be clearly identified, and they all raised their wooden sticks.

One after another, fireballs flew over the soldiers in front from the rear and hit the bandits' camp. One round of fire coverage left a group of bandits in the middle and rear lying down.

"Is this magic?"

The power feels about the same as that of artillery.

Li Chengxi put down the barrel and used the mouse to open the ability panel of a "robed man".

The title reads 'Former Court Magician'. In the skill column below, there are seven or eight skills in the magic column. The one that just blasted over should be the 'Fireball' in the skill column.

Even an outsider like Li Chengxi could see that if things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before the bandits were completely wiped out. It was simply a matter of time.

Just as he picked up the instant noodles again, a pixelated man suddenly jumped out from the direction of the bandits, not only piercing through the bandits' formation, but also pushing the shield-holding soldier back one square.

Despite being surrounded by soldiers, the man still stood up slowly, put his sword on his shoulder, and didn't care about the spears around him.

You can tell at a glance from the style of the painting that this isn't some trash unit; it's most likely a heroic unit that's on the field.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Viola wiped the rain off her forehead and said to the guard knight beside her:
"Have the archers aim at the rear of the bandits to prevent them from retreating back to the camp."

The battle went as smoothly as expected. Apart from the fact that the soldiers were of higher quality than the bandits, the biggest advantage was that their side had magical support.

Unlike divine arts, magic not only requires qualifications, but is also very difficult to learn. At one time, the strength of a country could be judged by how many wizards it could support.

There were nearly a hundred court mages in the Demon Kingdom of Avarus, but when the capital was breached, they either fled or got separated. In the end, only four of them stayed with Viola, and they were all ranked at the bottom of the court mages and were not valued.

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that magic can change a war, but it does have the power to change the outcome of a battle.

The four mages only threw a round of fireballs when the hot-blooded bandits instantly calmed down. Their eyes became much kinder, and the team ran back while being beaten.

At this point, it can basically be considered a victory, and Viola has begun to think about the issues to be dealt with after the war.

"Your Highness, don't be too happy too soon."

Hill, who had nothing to do, came over quietly, playing with the braid under his hood and said:

"There's a very strong man in the camp, something might go wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sharp sound of "Clang!" from the battlefield, like a sword being unsheathed.

An almost invisible figure approached rapidly from behind the bandit, and the bandit standing in front of him was cut in half almost in an instant, and crashed directly into the shield soldier in the front.

--boom!

A loud noise like a bomb explosion sounded at the front of the line, the falling rain was scattered, and the shield wall was dented.

The man, who was about thirty years old, slowly stood up, put the sword on his shoulder, and shouted in a cynical tone:

"Princess Viola! I demand the ancient code of chivalry to prevail against me in a one-on-one duel!"

This operation is similar to a fight in front of a battle, except that it is not limited to fighting in front of a battle or halfway through the battle. Generally, the disadvantaged party will propose it and will not usually refuse.

It is an established rule that is used on every battlefield.

Despite the overwhelming power, Viola was not intimidated at all, and was about to step forward, gripping the hilt of her sword, when the guard knight Shelley beside her hurried forward to stop her.

"Your Highness, he is not worthy of your attack. Let me do it."

"Are you sure?" "I am sure I can."

It is understandable that a knight wants to prove himself in front of his lord.

Viola thought for a moment and nodded:

"Be careful, that man's swordsmanship is somewhat special."

"As ordered!"

With permission, Shelley drew his sword and ran forward in small steps.

Among the Knights Guard, Shelley was the shortest and was often doubted whether he had reached adulthood.

Because of this, Shelley also urgently needs an opportunity to prove himself.

However, despite being very happy, Shelley knew that the other party was not easy to deal with and he had to be careful.

The line of soldiers split in the middle to make room for the duel.

"Ah? Princess Viola actually sent a little one?"

The man laughed in surprise:
"Even if Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't want to come in person, there's no need to send a child, right?"

"I'm not a child!"

Holding a long sword, he took an offensive stance:

"I am Shelley, the Knight of the Guards!"

"Oh? The posture is quite good."

The basis of combat is intelligence, and an experienced person can tell whether an enemy has worked hard on his swordsmanship just by looking at his posture.

Although it is small, it is not a small fish that can be easily dealt with.

After making a mental judgment, the man raised his sword and got ready:

"Remember, I'm Roy!"

Shelley was also staring at Roy's posture, trying to identify the other party's sword style, but to no avail.

To be precise, it seems like a fusion of sword techniques from several factions, or it is more like hiding one's own true colors.

"You don't look like an ordinary bandit. What is your purpose in lurking in the mountains?"

"You have some good sense, little girl. But do you think I will tell you if I ask you?"

As he spoke, Roy put away his playful attitude and fixed his eyes.

Shelley only felt a gust of wind coming from the front, and Roy, who was in his sight just now, disappeared.

He is in a blind spot!

Shelley reacted quickly, and blocked downward with the long sword in his hand. Then he heard a crisp sound of "clang!" and the two swords collided.

"Good reaction, at least you're not a rookie anymore."

The force coming from the blade made Shelley frown slightly:
"This is an assassination sword! Who the hell are you?!"

"I told you I wouldn't tell you."

With a strong block, the sword was bounced away, and Shelley immediately found that he had lost the opponent's trace again, but he felt a coolness approaching his skin.

--clang!

The sword blades collided again, this time with much greater force than last time, causing his fingers to feel slightly numb.

Strength and speed, both of these indicators are far better than mine!
After only two exchanges, Shelley realized that the opponent's basic ability was much stronger than his own.

But it’s far from time to give up, Her Royal Highness the Princess is watching!

"My Lord Demon King, please grant me strength!"
