Free Web NovelChapter 1377: Chapter 1282: The Dark Elf Appears
The high-pressure water cannon is different from conventional cannons; it’s a sustained, guided attack, so no matter how the little prince scrambles or rolls after being blasted and pinned to the ground, the water column follows him relentlessly, leaving him no chance to escape!
At this moment, Catherine’s excited and eerie laughter echoed throughout the ship. Da Fei knew that victory was within grasp! Unless he could escape like the Fire Phoenix using instant teleportation. But Da Fei wouldn’t give him that chance!
Just as Da Fei was about to command his entire army to overwhelm him, Elena shouted, "Master, let Lilim capture him alive! Such a hero poses a tremendous threat and cannot be allowed to die and return!"
Damn, I was reminded! My current playstyle is capturing alive! Da Fei hurriedly shouted, "Capture him alive!"
"Received!" "Understood!"
Catherine laughed, "Let me first exhaust his stamina before we proceed!"
Da Fei was anxious, "Be sure not to kill him!"
Capturing alive is a high-level skill that only works on heroes and NPC units without resistance, and cannot be applied to regular troop units. Similarly, only heroes and NPCs can capture others alive; conventional troops with limited intelligence would never be able to do it. They would only kill enemy heroes without resistance.
Having no resistance means not just having stamina in the red or even zero, but also being in system-determined states like "near-death" or "unconscious," such as when Cindigosar was in such a near-death state, which is very hard to manage without accidentally killing someone.
However, Lilim’s Cold Ice Spider Silk is different; she successfully captured Lamia, showcasing her incredible strategic value! That’s right; if Deirdre hadn’t used it, Da Fei wouldn’t have known Lilim had this ability! Lilim’s ability to capture, paired with the water cannon’s non-lethal impact, indeed makes them a golden duo for capturing heroes.
The enemy hero’s abnormal state directly weakened the enemy’s attack, and Selvia’s choir of 300 Flower Demons regained the upper hand, while the giant bats’ interference with sonic attacks was quite evident, causing them to wobble unsteadily in flight, making the Giant Bat Army no match for the Angel Army, with more and more Giant Bat Knights being shot down!
Da Fei laughed; the seemingly superior Giant Bats actually have such serious shortcomings, no wonder the Demon King looks down on them! In fact, these Giant Bats are quite similar to the few Volcano Demon Foxes and Demon Wolves Da Fei had conscripted; both have sonic attacks, and Demon Foxes also have stealth abilities, which aren’t too overpowered.
Watching more and more Giant Bats being shot down, Da Fei couldn’t help but feel a myriad of emotions. If he hadn’t dealt with the enemy’s commander with a single blow, it might be him running away from this battle by now. In the end, the enemy commander was just reckless, and he was fortunate not to lose his cool and charge out with Ror. In the future, he needs to learn from experience; as long as it’s such a large-scale battle where he carries the entire army’s safety on himself, no matter how formidable he is, he should stay in the safest place and never expose himself, never giving the enemy a chance for a decisive strike.
Finally, when the enemy hero stuck to the ceiling displayed a "suffocation and unconsciousness" state, Lilim unleashed another burst of spider silk!

...
"Victory!" The entire army cheered!
Da Fei also finally breathed a sigh of relief! Finally won, the long-awaited upgrade for the Natural Guardian Army Order is here! If it hadn’t upgraded, Da Fei would almost forget about its existence. And what excites Da Fei the most is that these 300 Flower Demon Militia actually got promoted to elite!
I have to say, it was dangerous! If it weren’t for being on water with the navigator’s Extreme Survival increasing life limit by 50% and Sea Monster Hunter increasing by 20%, these Flower Demons might not have endured the sonic confrontation in the last battle!
Generally, the more anemic the low-level units are, the harder they are to upgrade because it’s difficult to ensure their survival. If they die once in battle, even if resurrected, they’re basically considered wasted, with no hope for advancement. In the end, surviving is good, even though their elite attributes are still akin to level-4 soldiers, they’re still weak, but having not died at a low level, they’re less likely to die as elites, with a bright future ahead!
Well reflecting, Ror personally brought back the enemy commander wrapped up in a cocoon.
Elena coldly laughed, "Let’s take a look at what this mixed-breed prince really looks like!"
Da Fei also chuckled, "Alright, how to deal with him is up to you!"
Elena laughed, "Don’t worry, anyhow, he won’t think about going back alive! I believe that once we eliminate his Giant Bat Army, there will be significantly less threat to your subsequent actions."
Lamia, however, said, "Master, for the confidentiality and security of future actions, I cannot appear before any enemy army, I’ll avoid it now." freёwebnovel.com
"Um, okay!" Although Da Fei doesn’t think this prince can return alive, what if he escapes? So Lamia’s caution is indeed very necessary.
At this moment, Ror brought this cocoon to Da Fei’s group, then peeled back the cocoon on the head, revealing the face of a long-eared elf with a pair of sharp horns on the forehead, seen by everyone.
It has horns? Unlike the dance troupe of Ista? Da Fei astonishingly asked Elena, "Does your brother look like this too?"
Elena frowned and utterly disliked him, "No, this should be a mix with more Demon Bloodline—" she perhaps changed the topic considering Ista’s feelings, "My mother Tudhana is a very powerful Dark Elf. Even though she birthed my brother with a demon, his bloodline leans towards elves, not turning into this freakish appearance!"
Just then, the prince in the cocoon opened his eyes coldly, "This is the symbol of high-level creatures, you low-level beings will never understand. I advise you best let me go, or you will meet a very tragic end!"
Elena calmly said, "Seems you also inherited the demon’s stupidity!"
Da Fei chuckled, "Shall Tamilia use Holy Vine to turn him into a dried corpse?"
Tamilia bitterly smiled, "That’s to scare Lamia, using Holy Vine on heroes would lead to them seizing the chance to commit suicide, the deceased Demon Phoenix Phoenix is an example."
Uh!
Elena casually remarked, "Leave it to me, then, using the sacrificial tradition of the Dark Elves, offer him to the Rose Spider Queen. I believe the Queen would be very pleased, this way we can both eliminate the enemy and receive the Queen’s power reward, killing two birds with one stone!"
Da Fei joyfully declared, "Great, let’s do this! Shall we start quickly?"
Elena laughed, "Sacrifice needs special days, we can only imprison him for a while! I believe Miss Tamilia won’t let any mishaps occur this time, right?"
Tamilia earnestly replied, "I will not make the same mistake twice, I will specially cultivate a Holy Vine cage to continuously absorb his stamina and mana, leaving him no chance! However, Miss Elena doesn’t believe in Rose Spider Queen, right?"
Elena laughed heartily, "But that doesn’t prevent the Dark Elf Tribe from paying tribute to her! It’s ultimately a mutually utilitarian relationship between our kind and the Spider Queen!"
At this moment, the prince coldly declared, "You’ll never live to see the day of sacrifice, our army will certainly rescue me!"
Elena coldly responded, "That depends on if Prince has any rescue value!"
The prince roared, "Of course I do! I’m a prince! I’ve earned numerous merits for Lord Demon King! Just wait for your demise!"
And just at this moment, a flash of firelight soared from the dark corner of the riverbank!
Elena was overjoyed, "Got a response! This is a Dark Elf signal flare!"
Da Fei laughed aloud, "So they were secretly observing us all this time!"
Elena chuckled, "I’ll go welcome them!"
"No need! I’ll go see first!" As soon as the words fell, a vague shadow appeared on the dark riverside.
Da Fei, extremely relieved, at last, someone’s come; the pace is set for them to defect! (To be continued.
