29: Chapter 29 The Bug Transporter!

How long can a normal [wonder] hold out against the assault of a High-level Demon?

It depends on the type of [wonder] and the skills constructed for it.

Based on past experience from the Game of National Destiny, the average is:

Two hours, which is one hundred and twenty minutes!

Then, how long can a normal [wonder] hold out when facing a High-level Demon buffed by the 'Grand Rules,' with countless ordinary Calamity Demons behind it?

Judging by experience, I'm afraid it can only hold out for... one hour.

So, what if this [wonder] isn't normal, and it can only exert 12% of its strength, while facing a High-level Demon buffed by the 'Grand Rules' and countless Calamity Demons behind it?

In such a situation, with all sorts of debuffs stacked up, how long could it possibly hold out?

There are no precedents, so it can't be judged by experience, but undoubtedly, the time it can hold out should be very short.

At the commentary desk.

The more experienced commentator, York, felt that the Dragon Nation could hold out for five minutes at most.

"If the Dragon Nation's new [Strategist] still has Construction Power and can construct a unique skill for [Jianmen Pass], I think this wonder could provide about five minutes of time for the Strategist's avatar!

Five minutes is very rushed; it won't be enough to create much distance, making it difficult for the avatar to retreat to the edge of the 'scene' to disengage and leave this area!"

The new-generation commentator, Heller, who consistently disagrees with his senior's analysis, retorted:

"Five minutes? You're overestimating this [wonder] of the Dragon Nation.

With only 12% strength, I don't think [Jianmen Pass] can even hold out for two minutes against a High-level Demon!

Two minutes is already being generous; let's say one minute. As soon as one High-level Demon climbs onto the city wall, I can confidently say this [Jianmen Pass] won't last more than a minute!

Regardless of whether the Dragon Nation's [Strategist] can construct a unique skill for the wonder, I still think that's the time!

So what if they can construct a unique skill for [Jianmen Pass]? The prototype pass only has 12% completion. This 12% doesn't just affect the [wonder] itself; the unique skill will also be affected. Even if the Dragon Nation [Strategist] constructs a unique skill, its strength will only be 12%!"

"One minute, no more. Any longer would be an insult to the High-level Demon! An insult to the 'Grand Rules' buff!"

With both commentators holding their own opinions, even York, who was optimistic about the Dragon Nation, felt that [Jianmen Pass] could only hold out for five minutes.

Just at this moment.

Chen Aoyun's main body on the Starlight Chessboard slowly raised his right arm.

Construction Power swirled around Chen Aoyun's fingertips.

Chen Aoyun once again focused, pinched a piece... and finally placed it!

On the broadcast screen.

A High-level Demon that had already climbed the city wall roared, its corrupted scythe swinging wantonly, and rows of combatants fell one after another.

The High-level Demon was terrifyingly powerful; it was simply not something that soldiers buffed by a [Jianmen Pass] with only 12% strength could resist!

"Too brutal, oh my god, a High-level Demon buffed by the 'Grand Rules' is just too brutal!

It's so tanky it can't be killed, and its combat power is frighteningly high. Strategist, oh Strategist, you left us here. I wouldn't complain about dying in battle, but being sent to a meaningless death is another matter~"

Clutching a shovel buffed by rule power, Fan Ling didn't dare to step forward in the face of the High-level Demon that was already 'astride the wall'.

Cowardice was one thing, but the other reason was that he was a [Roleplayer]. He couldn't die first; if he died first, the 'Engineer Corps' he commanded would instantly vanish!

"Shut up! Hide! Stop shouting blindly; do you want the High-level Demon to target you?!"

Although she had said she wouldn't look after Fan Ling, Zhao Hongxiu still quickly moved to his side and yanked him away from the combat area.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't care about me? Soft-hearted?"

"Shut up!"

"Alright... I'll shut up..." Fan Ling was pulled to a corner by Zhao Hongxiu, and after staying quiet for only a few seconds, he started muttering again, "But what's the point of just hiding? The High-level Demon is too fierce; this fortress is probably going to fall soon!"

"Wait!"

"Wait? Wait for what?"

Just as Fan Ling asked 'Wait for what?', Chen Aoyun happened to 'place a piece' on [Jianmen Pass]!

"It's a unique skill!

wonders are rare, and a wonder's unique skill is even rarer!

It's just that a wonder's unique skill isn't like a Heroic Spirit's; they rarely have special abilities and are mostly skills that reinforce basic functions.

[Jianmen Pass] is a pass-type wonder. Using a unique skill to increase strength or enhance buffs for combatants is still unlikely to be a match for a High-level Demon..."

Fan Ling didn't think adding one wonder unique skill could turn the tide, but before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Hongxiu's eyes suddenly lit up!

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Fan Ling asked, puzzled.

"Sense it yourself."

"Sense what?"

"Sense the unique skill that Mr. Strategist constructed!" Zhao Hongxiu rolled her eyes hard.

Not sensing, not knowing.

Once he sensed it, Fan Ling was instantly stunned on the spot!

The [Jianmen Pass] unique skill Fan Ling originally expected: increasing strength, increasing buffs for combat personnel... at most weakening the combat power and vitality of the 'astride the wall' High-level Demon.

The actual [Jianmen Pass] unique skill: [One Man Guards the Pass, Ten Thousand Cannot Open It]!

'Jianmen Pass: One Man Guards the Pass, Ten Thousand Cannot Open It'.

Allusion: From the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's "The Hard Road to Shu"!

The allusion is the logic of all unique skills!

As long as the logic exists, and as long as the logic is self-consistent, such a unique skill is a 'concept-level' unique skill!

Therefore, after the [Jianmen Pass] unique skill [One Man Guards the Pass, Ten Thousand Cannot Open It] was 'placed', the logic of the battlefield completely changed!

Inside [Jianmen Pass].

'Combat power' levels no longer had any meaning!

Maximum HP also had no meaning whatsoever!

There was only one logic on the battlefield, a brand-new logic: Quantity!

Under the conceptual logic of 'One Man Guards the Pass, Ten Thousand Cannot Open It', one Dragon soldier absolutely stands against 'ten thousand' enemies!

Regardless of whether the enemies are strong or not, without considering any 'numerical values' of attributes, as long as the enemies do not exceed ten thousand, this pass will stand forever!

One 'Dragon Nation soldier' resists a "ten thousand" quantity of demons; ten soldiers mean one hundred thousand!

Right now on the city wall, the number of swordsmen + Engineers is 118, plus Zhao Hongxiu and Fan Ling, that makes 120 people.

In other words, under the skill logic of 'One Man Guards the Pass, Ten Thousand Cannot Open It', unless 1.2 million enemies swarm to the foot of [Jianmen Pass], there is no possibility of this pass being breached!

Of course, because the strength is only 12%, the 1.2 million becomes 144,000, but it is still terrifyingly powerful. As long as the number of demons hasn't reached 144,000, [Jianmen Pass]... 'Cannot Be Opened'!

'Cannot Be Opened' is the 'Cannot Be Opened' from 'One Man Guards the Pass, Ten Thousand Cannot Open It'!

'Cannot Be Opened' does not mean it can kill the High-level Demon; it just traps the High-level Demon within the pass, which does not conflict with the word 'survival' under the 'Grand Rules'.

This was also a restriction specifically added by Chen Aoyun when constructing this skill; without this restriction, the rules of this skill might have been judged invalid by the 'Grand Rules'.

"'One Man Guards the Pass, Ten Thousand Cannot Open It', this skill is too BUG-like!

How did our new Mr. Strategist construct such an overpowered skill?"

After feeling the skill's effect, Fan Ling was stunned on the spot for a long time, his face full of admiration for Chen Aoyun and shock at this skill.

A voice suddenly sounded in their ears, calm, yet it made Zhao Hongxiu and Fan Ling's hearts incredibly excited and surging. This voice came from Chen Aoyun, and he said it with a smile:

"I am not a BUG; Huaxia Civilization is the BUG!

I am merely a porter of BUGs!

Are you all ready?

I have said that from today on, the Dragon Nation will no longer sink. One by one, BUG-like existences of Huaxia will continuously shock the whole world; today is just the prologue!"
