Everyone: You're a Farmer, WTH is with the Tree Realm Descending

Chapter 26: A Wave Strategy? Are You Crazy!?

Xu Yan was about to explain but then shut his mouth.

All the high school teams were gathered in the hall.

If he revealed his plan to steal the BOSS, he would undoubtedly become a prime target for the other high schools.

As silence fell between them, with both sides staring at each other, Gao Yang suddenly exclaimed:

"Hahaha!"

"I found it!"

"Xu Yan! The troll colony—it's the perfect foothold!"

Troll colony?

Everyone turned to look at the foothold that Gao Yang had pointed out, their faces filled with confusion.

Wang Ke, after reading the disaster beast description, was completely speechless.

"What did this fat guy just pick?!"

---

A Terrifying Choice

Troll Disaster Beasts, Level 5 Colony.

Each troll could enchant its weapons, and their basic attacks were as strong as small-level skills.

Their damage output was several times higher than the Shadow Night Owls'!

And without a tank in the team, a single troll's attack could wipe them out instantly.

Even worse…

Trolls could generate lightning-resistant shields.

As a Level 5 Lightning Mage, Wang Ke's damage was reduced by 86% due to the resistance!

Once their shields were up, the trolls would become nearly invincible.

If they really chose this foothold, why even bother fighting? They might as well surrender immediately.

---

Wait… Is This a Joke?

But then Wang Ke calmed down.

"This must be some kind of joke from the chef."

"Xu Yan would never listen to this nonsense… right?"

But the next moment…

Wang Ke was stunned.

Xu Yan patted Gao Yang's shoulder, smiled, and praised him.

"Fatty, you have great eyesight."

"I've been searching everywhere for a foothold like this!"

"I'll give you credit for this one."

Gao Yang was flattered by Xu Yan's praise.

Scratching the back of his head, he replied modestly, "It was just luck."

---

Everyone is Dumbfounded

Not only was Wang Ke left speechless, but even the entire No. 16 Middle School team was in complete shock.

At this moment, everyone felt like their minds had gone blank…

"What are these life professionals even thinking?"

"Is this some kind of joke?"

---

A Mistake That Can't Be Reversed

Before Wang Ke could object, it was already too late.

With lightning speed, Xu Yan locked in the Troll Disaster Beast Colony as No. 8 Middle School's foothold.

They became the fastest team to select a destination.

Their choice immediately flashed on the big screen.

---

The Reaction from Other Schools

All the other high schools were shocked.

"Did they really just pick so fast?"

"There are so many options—why didn't they take their time!?"

"Oh… it's No. 8 Middle School?"

"That explains it. They're already doomed anyway."

"Wait… THE TROLL LAIR?!?"

The room went dead silent before suddenly erupting with laughter.

"Well… good luck to them!"

"With No. 8 Middle School's weak team, the moment those trolls enchant their weapons, it's game over."

"Honestly, it doesn't even matter where they picked. They were doomed from the start."

"I feel sorry for Wang Ke, though. She's a rare Lightning Mage. She could have easily been the captain of many other schools. But instead, she got stuck with No. 8 Middle School."

"And not only that—she wasn't made captain, and now they've chosen to fight a troll colony… Her fate is sealed."

"This just proves that choosing the right team is more important than talent or effort."

"And No. 16 Middle School? They're completely screwed for being stuck with No. 8 Middle School!"

No. 16 Middle School: A Team in Despair

The entire No. 16 team fell into deep despair.

"How are we supposed to play this joint training when our ally is already defeated?"

This time, they were completely played by this farmer.

Zhou Min let out a deep sigh and muttered, "Do whatever you want."

She then turned away, ignoring Guan Bazhong.

Wang Ke, however, was furious.

She raised both hands and called out to the military instructor.

"Instructor! Can we reselect our starting point? We made a mistake!"

But the instructor rejected her request without hesitation.

"No!"

His voice was firm as he looked around at all the teams and spoke in a serious tone.

"Joint training is meant to simulate real battlefield conditions."

"A mistake in judgment can lead to serious consequences."

"In real disasters, humans never get the chance to regret or start over."

Wang Ke was left speechless.

---

Teleportation to the Footholds

Soon, all the teams had finalized their selections.

Several blue lights flashed, signaling the teleportation process.

Each team was instantly transported to their chosen locations.

Xu Yan's team found themselves standing in a ruined village outside the city.

---

Welcome to the Troll's Lair

At the entrance of the village, a deep, guttural roar echoed through the air.

The powerful magical waves carried by the roar penetrated deep into their eardrums, sending chills down their spines.

Even worse…

The horrendous stench of troll excrement was everywhere.

The village had long been abandoned, and the dilapidated buildings were now occupied entirely by trolls.

Most trolls were asleep, but near a dry well, five trolls were awake, lazily wandering around.

Wang Ke knew that if the team moved even a meter closer, the trolls would immediately become alert.

If they accidentally triggered a large fight at the village entrance, they would be wiped out instantly.

The only way to survive was to keep a safe distance and use hit-and-run tactics to lure out individual trolls one by one.

That was their only hope.

Wang Ke was just about to explain her strategy when—

Xu Yan suddenly grabbed a handful of pebbles, gathered his strength, and threw them with full force!

---

Triggering the Troll Horde

The pebbles flew through the air and landed on multiple targets:

The head of a troll near the dry well.

The rooftops of several ruined houses.

The skull of a gigantic troll resting in the central village square.

All at once…

The wandering trolls froze.

Even the sleeping trolls woke up.

In the central square, a troll several times larger than the others slowly opened its eyes.

It glanced at the small pebble that had hit its head.

Then, without hesitation, it picked up a massive war hammer and let out a deep, menacing growl.

Instantly, dozens of trolls picked up their weapons!

Their weapons became enchanted, glowing with a light blue aura.

At the same time, hexagonal magic shields formed around their bodies.

Within moments, the entire troll village was mobilized, marching toward the human team.

Xu Yan's Perfect Execution

Xu Yan nodded in satisfaction.

"That was a flawless pull!"

He then gave the battle order.

"One-wave strategy!"

Wang Ke stared at him in shock.

"A one-wave strategy!?"

"Are you CRAZY!?"

She clenched her fists and yelled,

"Xu Yan… HAVE YOU EVER EVEN TAKEN A BASIC TACTICS CLASS!?"
