Chapter 1341: Temporary Pandaren Leader

Chapter 1341: Temporary Pandaren Leader

It was surprising but Jin actually managed to have slept quite a fair bit during this portion of the war since the System and him believed that the Demon Rats were going to take drastic actions later in the evening when the fighting got fiercer.

There were more Pandarens fighting against the Demon Rats and they were rushing, hoping to break the siege for the third layer of the Inner Wall. Pandarens started to use the items they bought from the Hidden Gem Night Market and they found them to be very useful.

But it was extremely chaotic.

Because there were no actual Pandaren Leaders to lead the way, each Pandaren team was doing what they felt was best for them to earn the most points. One could say that the chaos and haphazard use of the items bought from the Hidden Gem Night Market somehow allowed them to be 'random' enough to give the Demon Rat Generals a big headache.

Unlike the fights they had previously against the humans where Jin and his Monster Leaders were commanding the teams to fight in a coordinated manner, they were unable to comprehend the change in fighting styles. So, the Demon Rat Generals had decided to fight recklessness with naivety and thus had decided to only send fresh new conscripts and a few fresh heavy hitters to delay them.

The only trained Demon Rat troops with sufficient battle experience were on the third layer of the Inner Wall, manning the defensive equipment and having veteran commanders to lead the fight. But they had a difficult time supporting the newly conscripted Demon Rats mainly because they were equally unpredictable when they fought against the Pandarens.

Yet, the commanders had directly told the battle hardened defenders to be more decisive in their attacks if they needed to- meaning they could kill their fellow Demon Rats on the ground if the benefits outweigh the costs. To top it off, those Demon Rats followed the orders without any remorse, as they knew that their home was more important than the few lives of Demon Rats.

So, as long as the defenders could make the 'correct' judgement when handing out their attacks, the commanders would not blame them and this did make the battlefield even crazier than ever. The indiscriminate killing forced the Pandarens to have the objective of breaking the Third Layer as soon as possible.

While it's true that the Pandarens did not have a leader per se, there were a few who stood up to be a temporary leaders (Since they got the cash to do so.) With enough money and sufficient dungeon time, they are able to lead the masses by sending out shouts to redirect the group. Aye, the System purposely implemented this even though it's a bit biased but it was an impromptu feature that required testing. However, it was done to make sure that the leaders had a sufficient grasp of the situation as long as they stayed on the battlefield long enough.

Leading the entire Pandarens even for just a short amount of time did not give additional raid points but the System would specially distribute extra raid points based on the performance of the leader only when the entire raid was done. It was similar to a hidden quest within this raid instance and it would not be shown as the System did not wish to encourage people to 'lead' just because they could add extra raid points. Besides, the System had always emphasised in their notices that the Pandarens should not tolerate bad behaviour and are able to report if needed so that the Panda Team (aka the System) will investigate.

Back to the situation, the temporary Pandaren Leader asked those who had Missile Launcher Carts or even mobile artillery guns (Pandarens literally had the strength to carry those guns and shoot them.) to be deployed simultaneously and fire to destroy the defensive capabilities all at once. It was a feeble attempt at leading but there were quite a few who responded especially when the temporary leader himself purposely sacrificed his items for the attack. So with a weakly coordinated attack, the Pandarens had managed to destroy a third of their defensive capabilities which forced the Demon Rats to with rifles and bows.

This increased the survivability of most Pandarens since many of them had purposely bought a magical barrier or a defensive inscription that could block ranged projectiles to a certain extent. Not to mention, those Pandarens who were able to get the enhancement potions from the Royal Zodiac Monkey's Battle Alchemists were able to reduce such damage to the minimum.

The change of battle development encouraged the Pandarens to listen to the temporary leader once again and they destroyed half of the remaining defensive capabilities with their items, allowing them to fight 'safer' and less bothersome…until they found out that they had been keeping their mages just for this kind of situation. Fireballs now rained from the safety of their walls and they had watchers to look out the targets for them. Even if they had missed, the effect of the rain of fireballs was still terrifying even though there was a huge interval in their attack pattern. At the same time, Demon Rat Mages continue to cast teleport portals to make sure that those Pandarens were sent to their Kill Box Zones to reduce their numbers as much as possible.

Thus, all the Pandarens could do was climb the Third Layers as soon as possible to fight against the defenders. And to protect their walls, the Demon Rats tried their best to prevent their climb by pouring oil and lighting it up whenever the Pandarens qing gong their way upwards. (It was a terrifying sight for the Demon Rats at first but with their experiences from the previous Inner Wall fights, this was the only few tactics they thought of to deter the Pandarens especially when the Third Layer had the highest walls.) While the paratroopers had managed to do the same as those Pandarens on the ground, there were simply not enough bodies to throw against the horde of Demon Rats hiding within the Third Layer. It was as if they were making it their final defence line while the Pandarens tried to penetrate it as much as possible.

But only the Generals and Jin knew this was not the finale.
