Chapter 1034: Chapter 781: Insufficient Combat Power? (Part 2)
"This is just the insufficiency of high-end battle power."
Finn rubbed his brow, seemingly quite troubled by this matter.
In the artificial labyrinth, it’s not just a matter of having Immortal Spirit clones, there’s also a large number of green flesh, and even colorful monsters serving as tendrils for the Polluted Immortal Spirits.
In addition, who knows what cards Erniya is hiding, there’s a mysterious figure under her command whose strength is unknown. In the strategy battle, they would require a lot of mid-to-low-end battle power to deal with the cards the enemy could play at any moment.
Furthermore, to capture the enemy all at once and eliminate the possibility of Orario being endangered again, Finn wants to deploy people at each entrance and exit leading to the artificial labyrinth, blocking the enemy’s escape route, leaving them no way to flee after defeat.
After calculating, Finn realized their manpower and battle strength gap is really too big; they must find a way to fill it, or the future consequences will be boundless.
Understanding the current predicament, disregarding Reiger for the time being, Ais hesitated for a moment before cautiously proposing.
"...Can’t we get the Freyja Clan to step in?"
If Orario’s other strongest faction could step in, the lack of battle power could be compensated.
You know, the Freyja Clan is said to be capable, if dismantled, to form more than twenty intermediate factions of great clans.
Currently, this clan has a total of one hundred and fifty-seven official combat personnel, including non-combat personnel and followers, which exceeds five thousand. Needless to say, the power of first-level adventurers, they also have numerous second-level adventurers, especially healers. The number of healers in the Freyja Clan ranks highest among clans belonging to Orario, otherwise they couldn’t support the never-ending battle in the wilderness.
Especially after Ota and Allen both leveled up, if this clan could join the strategy battle, it would surely be a strong stimulus.
In Ais’s conception, if all six teams needed to tackle six Immortal Spirits need a Lv.7 commander, then Finn, Grace, and Revilia could each lead three teams, Ota and Allen could each lead two teams, and with Reiger’s battle power akin to Lv.7, the last team would also have someone to lead.
Excluding Lv.7 and above battle power, combining the Loki Clan and Freyja Clan, they could gather six Lv.6.
On the Loki Clan’s side, there are Ais, Bert, Theona, and Theone.
On the Freyja Clan’s side, there are Hedine and Hegni.
These six Lv.6 are then dispersed across six teams, each team would have a Lv.6.
Then, the four Gulliver brothers, Raul and Angel, Chun from the Hephaestos Clan, along with eleven leaders from the Ganisa Clan, making eighteen Lv.5, distributed among six teams, that’s three per team.
Counting it up, a team would have one Lv.7, one Lv.6, and three Lv.5, then coupled with enough supporters, healers, and rear-guard Magic Guides, it already has the possibility of tackling one Immortal Spirit clone.
Especially the teams of Reiger and Ota, the former not only has strong battle power but can also use [Vanquish Hammer] for cheat enhancement and [Diya Flatel] to maintain the entire battle line, while the latter already being Lv.8, his power is definitely not comparable to a Lv.7, these two teams can absolutely exert extraordinary strength, crushing the Immortal Spirit clone.
See, aren’t the numbers sufficient?
Thinking like this, Ais was a bit too naive.
"Wanting the Freyja Clan to collaborate with us, that’s no easy task." Reiger said calmly beside her: "The people in that clan are essentially individual power supremacists, unwilling to cooperate with others or engage in team collaboration, not to mention the clan is hostile towards us, and Goddess Frey is a whimsical, one could even say capricious god; wanting to persuade them to act with just the reason of "the possibility of Orario’s destruction" isn’t enough."
"That’s right." Finn nodded approvingly to Reiger’s statement, and said: "Besides, we not only have to deal with the Immortal Spirit clones, but also handle urban destroyers, which might be even more tricky than Immortal Spirit clones."
"Although it is artificial, it is still a strategy underground maze, with countless traps inside as you know." Revilia added, "In face of the threats posed by the entire artificial maze, the Freyja Clan with overly distinct personal styles might not only be of little use but possibly act independently and hinder the operation."
In summary, getting the Freyja Clan to act, although not unwise, is filled with too many uncertainties.
"If things become impossible, I will personally step in and attempt to persuade Goddess Freyja." Finn nodded with resignation: "But for now, we still need to consider how to foolproof solve the issue of inadequacy in battle power."
Upon hearing this, the members fell into silence.
Reiger’s eyes flickered slightly, then suddenly spoke after a while.
"If it’s merely needing a group of obedient, instant battle power, I might have a solution to this problem."
Reiger’s words first stunned Finn and the others, then they sat upright together.
"Really?"
Revilia asked quickly.
"Yes." Reiger didn’t keep them guessing and said directly: "I can use summoning magic to summon usable battle power."
Speaking of this, Reiger not only thought of his summoning magic but also of the combat puppet mechanism he made in the past— "Type One".
These combat puppets had lost their utility as Reiger’s strength became increasingly potent.
Especially after acquiring summoning magic, even if he needed help in battle, he would prefer to summon summons with various special abilities rather than just using puppet mechanism with knife combat.
This led to the mechanical puppet crafting technique that Reiger learned a while back being stored away for a long time.
Yet now, it seems they could be utilized again.
"Summoning magic?" Finn looked at Reiger and asked: "How much battle power can you provide?"
"Well..." Reiger considered for a moment then replied: "At least hundreds without a problem."
With Reiger’s current capabilities, even while operating at Lv.6 status and ensuring no interference with his own combat performance, he could easily control hundreds of mechanical puppets.
Summoning magic was the same; although strictly speaking, the rank spell summoning magic can summon one summoning each time it invokes, but that’s true when magic and rank are at the same level.
For instance, tenth tier magic in "YGGDRASIL" can only be learned when the player’s profession as a Magic Singer reaches level 64-70, when the player uses tenth tier summoning magic without enhanced summoning special skills and special abilities, at most they can summon a creature within that level range, but if they summon beings below level 64 with tenth tier magic, the number of entities that can be summoned will increase accordingly.
And even though Reiger does not have enhanced summoning special skills or abilities, he possesses two development abilities— "Magic Guide" and "Magic Song" — that fully enhance magic effects, plus items like Morgan’s Ring and other magic tools.
Among his hidden ten rings and two bracelets, one ring is a rare treasure that enhances summoning magic effects.
Once this treasure is activated, Reiger could summon dozens of powerful creatures using the highest rank summoning magic.
Together with numerous mechanical puppets, the issue of insufficient battle power could be solved in no time.
Finn, who was unaware of this, inquired again.
"Hundreds... how strong are they?"
This question returned a shocking answer.
"Comparable to Lv.5."
Reiger’s words silenced the entire office instantly.
At this moment, Finn, Revilia, and Ais were all stunned.
As in, utterly shocked.
