The warrior class skills, Sword Storm and Blade Dance, could deal a large amount of damage in a short time. However, these two skills had relatively long cooldowns and lacked sustained damage output compared to the quick cooldown, high damage output skills of the wanderers, such as Thrust and Backstab.
Well, the real reason was that Sword Storm and Blade Dance were powerful skill runes that controlled the overall movements of the player's skeleton character. They consumed a large amount of mental capacity, resulting in long cooldowns.
On the other hand, Thrust and Backstab were efficient skill runes that only controlled the arm movements and striking angles of the player's skeleton character, consuming less mental capacity and resulting in shorter cooldowns.
Players didn't have the concept of mental energy and, from a gaming perspective, only considered the practicality of skills.
The wild monster models in this game were all rather large. Once the correct strategy had been determined, knight players' four skills could effectively restrict a monster's movements, allowing for safe stationary output.
In this sort of situation, the sustained damage output advantage that wanderer players had far exceeded that of warriors.
Because of their friendship, the team hadn't mentioned kicking Fallen Mulberry Leaves when she had initially advanced to warrior. However, after two days of teaming up to fight monsters, the team found it increasingly intolerable. Whether they were clearing the Spider Cave or Poisonous Marshlands, Mulberry's total damage output was only two-thirds of a wanderer player.
Efficiency in monster clearing affected everyone's gains, and this was the real income that could be converted into RMB. When it came to money, would anyone tolerate having such a deadweight in the team when the rewards were split equally?
When Mulberry was kicked and replaced with a wanderer player they had gotten to know during the first expedition quest, nobody had even spoken up for Mulberry.
In the instance dungeon where safe stationary output was impossible, everyone had to be mindful of their positioning and seize opportunities for damage output. The importance of warrior players skyrocketed in such situations. However, their team's warrior player now belonged elsewhere and no longer farmed mobs or cleared instances with them.
"Forget it," sighed a veteran team member. "We can't bring bosses on dungeon runs. Let's go back and farm monsters. Once the game opens up, we can recruit new people and see how it goes."
The team leader didn't say anything more and led the team to farm monsters.
As daybreak arrived in-game, the weekend Inner Demon instance dungeon event officially ended. Players in Hal's Inner Demon instance team formation area logged out, while others got busy farming monsters and doing quests.
In Weisshem, Wagner got up before dawn.
The accommodation provided by Black Mage Yang was nice and even better than his home in Indahl. However, Wagner had quite a restless night.
On one hand, he was worried about the fate of his family, concerned about his wife and child waiting for him at home. On the other hand, the magic in this mansion was too active, causing him to have nightmares whenever he closed his eyes.
Magic was toxic, and an upright knight like Wagner would never touch meditation that could potentially expose him to the toxicity of magic. Unfortunately, there was a black mage on the other side of the wall frequently mediating and seemingly unafraid of losing control. This was tormenting for Wagner.
Wagner subconsciously pointed at himself in surprise.
"Yes, you go." Yang placed a stack of copper coins on the windowsill. "Ask the staff there to get you three standard meals and make sure Lowell's portion isn't too spicy."
Wagner felt a bit disheartened once again. He didn't know whether to be delighted Yang was giving him freedom of movement, even allowing him to go out alone, or to be annoyed by this fellow's nonchalance that Wagner might try to escape.
Wagner wouldn't be foolish enough to attempt escaping. Spellcasters that built a Mage Tower could control an entire territory. Even without building a Mage Tower, Yang, a high-level black mage who had roamed the continent for centuries, would have no problem controlling Weisshem.
If Wagner managed to escape Weisshem, the only possibility was that Black Mage Yang had done something to him and was allowing him to leave.
Wagner silently picked up the copper coins and went out alone. Walking along the alley for a short distance, he soon saw the street sign of Main Street.
Yesterday, he had passed through this street when he was tied up and dragged into town on horseback. At that time, he noticed that many buildings on this street were undergoing renovations. Now, as he walked along the street and observed, many buildings were indeed cordoned off with wooden boards. Many male and female town residents were busy within the barricades, removing some smashed bricks and debris and pushing them away with hand carts.
Wagner hadn't been to Weisshem before, so he didn't really have much sentiment about the famous red-light district being completely transformed. He casually glanced around and then followed the street numbers hanging on the walls of the buildings, searching for the specified unit 101 as Yang instructed.
A few steps further Wagner suddenly stopped, turned his head to the left, and stared in astonishment.
On the opposite side of the street was a building undergoing renovation, but the ones entering and leaving were not townspeople but undead?!
Wagner's mouth hung open involuntarily.
Some parts of the attire on these undead looked very family to Wagner. Bracers and shin guards issued by the city defense force were worn by the undead. A skeleton pushing a handcart filled with construction debris, mingling with the townspeople and delivering things outside, had a helmet on its head that conspicuously displayed the Bartalis family coat of armsalso the emblem of the Indahl city defense force.
Without a doubt, these undead were the same ones that attacked them yesterday, stripping and capturing them along with their horses.
Wagner clutches his head. It felt like his worldview was shattering.
These undead not only obeyed Yang's commands and fought for Rex but also worked for Rex just like the townsfolk?!
Wagner wondered if his previous understanding of these dark creatures had been completely wrong.
Was all the news reported in papers a lie?!
