Although our group was not large in number, we were all tough guys (it was easy to imagine that the teams assigned to protect novices on the road and take people out to level up must be experts). Once we entered the defense circle, we didn't even have time to say hello, and they automatically joined the battle line, which temporarily stabilized the situation.
I took a quick look and saw that it was roughly an arc formation. Fortunately, it was backed by the angle between the two rivers, with only one defensive surface, and wide rivers on both sides, so less than a hundred people managed to hold on until now. After the people I brought joined, the pressure was greatly reduced, and a few combat team members even had the opportunity to withdraw and take a breath.
Seeing that the situation was still good and the captains of each battle team were able to take on the responsibility of command, I did not immediately join the battle. Instead, I pulled the profiteer over and asked him about the details.
It turned out that at around 10:30 in the morning, without any warning, a monster attack broke out in the camp. Fortunately, the team members who were monitoring the periphery discovered the unusual movement of the monster group in time and sounded the alarm. The profiteer was an internal test player. When he saw the monsters gathering in the distance, he immediately understood what was happening. He knew how powerful the monster attack was. He quickly organized all the members of the work team to retreat to the top of the angle before the monsters began to attack, and used the terrain to reduce the defense range to the minimum. At the same time, Wuwuwu suggested that each member carry some stacked building materials. After everyone retreated to the designated location, they used these wood and stones to quickly build an extremely simple defense wall. Unfortunately, there was no senior architect, so it could not be upgraded to a real fortification. It could only be called an obstacle at most.
Relying on this defensive wall, under the unified command of Badao, the four teams stationed at the time took their positions and built defensive lines under the leadership of their captains.
As soon as all this was done, the monsters launched an attack. If it weren't for the preparation, they wouldn't have been able to hold out for even five minutes. Fortunately, most of the combat team members were also veterans of the game. After a day of cooperation yesterday, they had a certain tacit understanding of each other and finally withstood the charge of the monsters without major casualties. Among them, Wuwuwu was particularly good at commanding. She assigned her men to a long-range attack team of "two magicians + four archers" to carry out long-range attacks on monsters that were on the way and had not yet rushed to the front. One coordinated shooting could kill four or five monsters; the warriors blocked the monsters close to them on the front line, and the extra magicians were responsible for supporting the tight team members. She herself led two highly sensitive warriors to kill the scattered monsters that leaked in. The whole team was very coordinated and exerted the greatest combat effectiveness. This tactic was quickly promoted to all teams, and after the profiteer discovered Xiaowu's command ability, he used his temporary supreme command when I was not present, and exchanged the positions of Badao and Xiaowu, letting Badao command a team and letting Xiaowu be responsible for overall dispatch.
However, compared with the tens of thousands of monsters, the eighty-plus combat team members were always outnumbered. Even if Xiao Wu was a great commander, everyone was in a tough fight. It was good enough that they could maintain the front line. When we arrived, the defense wall they had relied on before had collapsed under the repeated attacks of the monsters, and it was almost unrecognizable. As a result, the monsters' attacks were more powerful. If we hadn't arrived in time, the defense line would have collapsed!
The profiteer said in distress, "Although the casualties in the defense circle are not great, the problem is that many team members have just come online one by one. As soon as they leave the tent, they are surrounded by monsters. They are killed one by one. Many people have died! This pension is a big expense! In addition, this attack on the camp has caused us great losses. All the accumulated building materials are destroyed..."
I don't have time to listen to the profiteers' reports on their losses. If we can't survive this monster attack, the Thunder Alliance that we worked so hard to build might be destroyed!
I ran over to find Xiao Wu and asked directly: "Do you have any solution to the current predicament?"
Xiao Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Alliance leader, the number of people you brought is too few. Now they can only maintain the battle situation. If you give me two hundred more... no, one hundred more combatants, I am confident that I can defeat these monsters."
I nodded. Xiao Wu's judgment was basically the same as mine.
I said, "Of course there will be reinforcements. Some of our best members haven't come online yet, so I've asked people to organize them. In addition, I've also contacted friends for help. However, it will take at least two or three hours for them to arrive here. During this time, we have to hold on by ourselves!"
In fact, as a beta test player, I still have a worry. I know that when monsters attack the camp, the initial attack is not the most violent. Now it has been less than half an hour. Later, a super Boss will appear. Different from the ordinary Boss mixed in the monster group, the super Boss will lead the monsters and launch an organized attack. That is the really dangerous moment!
In addition, there is another problem about the supply of medicines. There is no pharmacy here, and we brought all the medicines ourselves from the city. Although there are several pharmacists among the alliance members, their levels are too low and they can only produce a small amount of life water, which has almost no effect on replenishing life in such a fierce battle, and it is also a waste of materials. The only one who is useful is Lao Zhou, but even if you tire Lao Zhou to death, he alone cannot produce enough medicines to supply more than a hundred people!
However, this problem is not very urgent. We have been well prepared. Everyone has brought enough medicine. The consumption of clearing monsters yesterday was not large. Now the remaining supply can last for a long time. In addition, novice members do not need to participate in the battle, so they can take out the medicine they carry to replenish the combat members.
I told Xiao Wu about my concerns about the Boss's attack, and we came up with a solution. From all the combat team members, I selected a group of relatively strong experts, a total of ten people, all of whom were knights with high attack and defense, to form a special combat team, led by myself.
In such a large-scale battle, withdrawing 10 people will not have a big impact on the overall combat strength, but our special team will play an important role when the boss appears and kill the leading boss!
Of course, while the war is at a stalemate, we are not just sitting there doing nothing. I will lead these ten elite soldiers to break out of the defense circle, take the initiative to attack, and kill into the monster group!
There are two purposes for doing this. First, we practice cooperation with each other and get familiar with the essentials of fighting in a group of monsters, so that we can have more combat experience when the boss appears; second, although our attack cannot cause substantial damage to the group of monsters, it can disrupt the rhythm of the monsters' attacks and make the brothers who are fighting on the defense a little easier.
Riding the Black King (555, I was so busy during this period that I didn’t have time to change my mount), I was the first to rush up, and with a wave of the Tiger Soul in my hand, the Hundred Ripping Thorns transformed into thousands of sword lights, which instantly knocked down several monsters. Then I changed direction and killed forward in a direction parallel to the defense line!
Because we were less than fifty meters away from the defense line, there was always long-range attack support from magicians and archers in the defense circle. The monsters around me were almost all injured. Once Tiger Soul came out, they were either killed instantly or crippled. The team members following behind us could make up for it with a blow and finish them off. Therefore, wherever we passed, we split the monster group into two. The ones on the right had already attacked the defense line, but the ones on the left were still dozens of meters away. In this way, there was a gap in the impact of the monsters. The defense team members could take a break and replenish their HP and MP after killing several batches of monsters, and then more monsters would pounce on them.
Of course, this was only the section of the defense line we passed. Once we walked away, the team members here still had to deal with the monsters. From the east end to the west end, and from the Xianling River back to the Yuelong River, we fought back and forth along the defense line for several rounds. The team members seemed a little tired. After all, we were surrounded by monsters, and the intensity of the battle was much higher than staying on the defense line. I was a little overwhelmed. Only the tiger soul in my hand, after drinking blood, emitted a more blazing and dazzling light, as if it was still thirsty for more killing.
I whistled and led everyone back to the defense circle, allowing both people and horses to rest for a while.
After a while, I led the team into battle again. This time the situation was more difficult. We no longer fought along the defense line, but rushed straight into the monster group, killing them until they were more than 200 meters away, then turned around and killed them back. The advantage of the knights was reflected. On the basis of high attack and defense, they had fast movement speed and strong impact force. The 11 people cooperated closely, and not a single person or horse was lost!
The special team was like Zhao Zilong of Changshan, killing their way in and out of the monster group seven times. It was almost noon, and I was secretly happy. I thought that if I could hold on for a while, the reinforcements would arrive, and then we would not be afraid even if the monsters were attacked by the boss.
However, things in this world are often not what we want. Before the reinforcements arrive, the boss appears first!
The first to discover the abnormality were the front-line team members. The monsters they faced were originally of all kinds, but gradually, some other kinds of monsters automatically retreated or scattered to both sides, and large groups of bison rushed up. Soon, all the team members turned into bullfighters!
The special team and I were resting in the inner circle. After receiving the report, I was startled and rushed to a command platform made of stones. Xiao Wu also had a serious look on her face. She pointed at the monster group and said to me: "Look!"
The command platform is more than two meters above the ground. Standing on it, you can see more clearly. The front is full of black cattle. A hundred meters away from the defense line, seven tall and strong blue-gray bulls caught our attention. These seven are the bison leaders! Apart from the followers of the super boss, how could so many bosses appear at once? Moreover, the bison leaders did not attack with the monsters. It was obvious that there was a high-level monster commanding them, waiting for the right opportunity, ready to break through with one blow!
Damn it, you've taken the initiative, what can we do? Whenever there were one or two bosses mixed in with the monsters attacking the defense line, we had to rely on the timely support of high-level alliance members such as Ba Dao, Wen Xin and the captains of each battle under the command of Xiao Wu to hold on. Otherwise, the defense line might have been breached long ago. With seven bosses attacking at the same time, where would we get so many experts to resist? Besides, although we haven't found the figure of the super boss yet, it is definitely hiding behind the herd. God knows when this guy will rush out and give us a fatal blow!
I rushed down from the command platform and called the special team, saying loudly: "Brothers, it's time for us to play a role, follow me!" After that, I took the lead and launched a counterattack against the cattle! This is also the reason why all members of my special team chose knights. Mages and archers who rushed into the monster group like this would most likely go without returning. Warriors are powerful in offense and defense, but they cannot cooperate with knights in speed, and they may be separated and fight on their own.
Rushing into the herd of bison, I suddenly felt that it was different from the previous times when I had fought into the monster groups. The bison had thick skin and long blood, and were very durable. Even my Tiger Soul needed three or four strikes to chop one off. As a result, our forward speed was greatly reduced. The bison from all directions had red eyes and used their horns to butt us wildly. If we were not careful, we would fall off our horses and people!
I ordered the formation to shrink and charge in a dense triangular formation, which had a slightly better effect. The force of the 11 knights' collective charge finally forced a passage through the herd, and they killed their way towards a buffalo leader step by step.
However, after the buffalo leader discovered us, he not only did not rush forward, but instead slowly retreated!
Oh my god, the Super Boss’s AI is really powerful. It even knows how to use tactics to lure the enemy deep into our territory, and wants to drown our special team in the swarm of monsters!
I was anxious and shouted, "Protect me!" The team members behind me quickly came over and formed a circle to surround me.
I dismounted, drew my bow and arrow, aimed at the leader and shot three times in a row!
The buffalo leader was attacked and was in pain and anger. He ignored the boss's command and immediately blew out two streams of white mist from his nostrils and rushed towards us with a grunt.
I quickly mounted my horse and ordered, "I'll deal with the leader, the monsters are left to you!"
They said they would leave the monsters to them, but in reality, with 10 knights, it was really difficult to guard against them completely. I still had to face the Boss and three or four monsters at the same time. Originally, this was not a big deal, as I killed a leader and a small group of bison yesterday. But now the environment is different. I have no room to use tactics and can only fight hard!
But I am not completely helpless. I took out the round shield that the starling gave me and used the Iron Wall skill. Hehe, an ordinary bison was just tickling me. I used the Tiger Soul with one hand and the power was slightly reduced, but it was enough to deal with the bison leader!
The sword rose and fell, and each blow of Tiger Soul took away a lot of blood from the leader. But this guy was no worse than the old leopard I killed when I led the team into the encirclement this morning. Now there was no support from the mage and archer. It took me a full five minutes to kill him one-on-one. A lot of gold coins and equipment were dropped, but I didn’t have the time to pick them up! Just when I was killing the leader, my brothers couldn’t hold on any longer, and one of them died!
Without stopping, I led the team to kill the second wild bull leader. The Tiger Soul Sword flashed, like slicing through the waves, and the murderous aura was shocking! This crazy counterattack tactic can only be used under my strong power. If it were someone else, it would be difficult to move forward in such a dense group of monsters.
I approached the other leader with difficulty, and also used a bow and arrow to lure it over. Then I mounted my horse and fought it. Hupo performed miraculously again, delivering critical and fatal blows in succession. Combined with the torn wound, this time the battle was resolved in one minute less than last time, and no team members were sacrificed.
Just as he was about to continue his efforts, he suddenly received a call from Xiao Wu: "Alliance leader, return quickly, the Bison King has appeared!"
Damn it, I can’t just rely on my bravery anymore. The Buffalo King is an E-level Boss. I’m confident I can win in a one-on-one duel in the wild, but if we meet him in a group of monsters, my entire team will probably be wiped out.
I quickly led the team back to the base camp. I could clearly feel the cattle running faster and they didn't attack us much. They kept rushing towards the defense area. We were almost swept back to the defense circle.
I quickly ran to the command platform and took a look. Sure enough, there was a particularly obvious white figure in the herd. It was a big bull with pure white fur. In front of it, five bison leaders were rushing towards the defense line from different directions and were almost approaching the defenders!
If it is a one-on-one duel under normal circumstances, there are even many experts among our alliance members who can defeat the buffalo leader alone. However, in the situation of this large-scale battle, we must hold the defense line firmly, and at least three experts are needed to resist a boss!
I hastily dispatched the command, ordering several captains, Ba Dao, Wen Xin, and the special team members I brought back to rush to the place where the leader was about to attack. We must block these bosses and let them rush in, otherwise the defense line will be over! Fortunately, we have killed two leaders, otherwise we really wouldn’t have enough manpower to deploy!
But the trouble is the Bison King. Even if I go up there myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on!
Xiao Wu said in a deep voice: "Lure and kill him!"
He was awakened by his words and I praised, "What a good idea!" Before I could say more, the Buffalo King had almost rushed to the middle of the defense line, slightly to the east, and I strode over.
I personally went to the front line and commanded the combat team facing the Bison King. I left a small gap and at the same time mobilized mages and archers to seal the gap with long-range attacks to prevent the monsters from rushing in.
At this time, the buffalo king had rushed to the front. Without saying a word, I shot it with a few arrows. The damage was not great, but it successfully angered it and it rushed towards me!
Very good! I turned and left. I had already told the team members that once I led the Buffalo King into the defense circle, they would do their best to plug the gap again.
The plan went very smoothly. The Bison King followed me into the defense circle. Under Xiao Wu's command, the low-level members tried to squeeze to both sides, leaving me a space in the middle that was big enough for a duel with the Bison King!
In this way, the connection between the monsters and their leader was cut off. Xiao Wu was in charge of the battle on the defense line, and I only had to focus on dealing with the Buffalo King! Of course, this plan was also a last resort. A super boss was released, and the low-level alliance members in the defense zone were very dense. If I failed to entangle the Buffalo King and let it charge to the sides once, the novices would suffer heavy casualties.
I didn't dare to be careless, so I called the Black King to ride on him and charged at the Buffalo King! The Buffalo King also raised his head and used his long horns to butt at me!
The two sides crossed, and my thigh was hit. It hurt! I lost more than 800 HP and my wound was torn. However, my Tiger Soul was more powerful. With one strike, I cut off more than 4,000 HP of the Bison King, and my wound was also torn!
Unlike normal combat, I can't use the Black King's speed to dodge slightly and wait for his HP to replenish before fighting again. I must stick to the Bull King and never let it go to deal with the low-level allies.
The good thing is that Xiao Wu specially assigned a priest to treat and bless me, and with the medicine I took myself, my blood recovery speed can just keep up.
After a few rounds of exchanges, the Buffalo King activated his skill "Bull Charge", which knocked me and my horse far away. Even more unfortunately, it also caused a stun effect!
In the few seconds when I was seeing stars, the Bull King started a massacre of low-level alliance members. With a casual kick or a butt, any profession below level 25 could be killed instantly. What's more terrifying is the skill "Bull's Fury". Once it is activated, all alliance members below level 20 around it will fall down!
By the time I recovered and caught up, there was already a river of blood, and more than 40 low-level members had died!
I was furious and swung out the Hundred Ripping Thorns, severely injuring the Bull King and attracting its attention, so that it started fighting with me again.
However, there are actually only about 160 to 170 low-level players in the defense zone. One quarter of them are dead, which leaves more space for me to maneuver. When the Bull King uses the collision skill, I can dodge and will not be hit so easily.
After a long fight, my HP was gradually running out. This was a dilemma for me. If I retreated, I wondered how many low-level members would suffer! But I couldn't die, not for myself , not only would the low-level members die, but they would also be attacked from both inside and outside by the Bull King and the bulls outside. The combat team members would also be in danger. I was afraid that we would lose this "camp raid mission"!
Just as I gritted my teeth and prepared to retreat, a figure rushed up from beside me, swung the axe in his hand, and held the Bull King back! It turned out to be Wen Xin!
When I was arranging personnel to deal with the wild bull leader, although I was in a hurry, I also made a quick calculation and assigned the strongest gods, the God of the Realm, the Heart of Questioning, and the Tyrant Sword to one group. The three of them should be able to quickly deal with a leader, and then go to support other groups separately. This should be considered a plan to concentrate superior forces to attack the enemy. They did not disappoint, and the battle ended in a few minutes.
However, Xiao Wu on the command platform probably saw the crisis on my side, and temporarily transferred Wenxin to assist me. Wenxin is a blood bull warrior. Although it is difficult for him to kill the Bull King, he can hold on for a while, which gave me a chance to catch my breath.
In this way, the pressure on me was greatly reduced. As soon as my HP was replenished, I would rush forward and chop the Bull King fiercely, while Wenxin would step aside, ready to fill my position when I retreated.
The power of the Tiger Soul Divine Sword is truly astonishing. Back then, it took everyone in the imperial mausoleum nearly an hour to kill the armored general whose defense and blood volume were slightly less than that of the Bull King. However, I killed the Bull King with my sword within half an hour!
The low-level alliance members who witnessed this wonderful battle burst into thunderous cheers. When the front-line combat team members heard the cheers, they also understood that the Bull King had surrendered, and their morale was boosted. In addition, all the bosses had been eliminated at this time, the attacks of the monsters slowed down a little, and the defense line was firmly held!
I took the opportunity to draw my sword, and Tiger Soul reflected the sunlight, emitting brilliant golden light. I shouted loudly: "Work together, we will win!"
The members of the alliance shouted in unison: "We will win!"
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, I told Wenxin to pack up the spoils, and I walked up to the platform and asked Xiaowu, "What's the situation?"
Xiao Wu said with a worried look on her face: "Supply is not a problem for now, but a total of more than 20 combat team members have been killed. Now everyone must press forward, and there is no room for rotation and rest. More importantly, everyone has been fighting for three hours in a row, and they are very tired mentally. It is easy to lose concentration. I think it will be difficult to hold off the next wave of attacks!"
I gritted my teeth and said, "No matter what, we must hold on! Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain! Hold on a little longer, I estimate that reinforcements will be here soon. Xiao Wu, you have commanded very well, I believe you have the ability to bring out the last of our strength. I'm going down now. One more person joining the battle will mean more strength!"
I walked to the front line, wielding Tiger Soul, and joined my teammates in the battle against the monster group. Seeing the leader personally coming to the field, the morale of the members was high, and they burst out with their last bit of energy. For a moment, the defense line even seemed to have the tendency to expand outward!
But this is actually a last gasp, and even a very dangerous move. The longer the defense, the bigger the flaw. Given our current situation, once a small gap is breached, it is likely to cause a complete collapse!
Fortunately, Xiao Wu was an excellent commander. She kept issuing orders to the captains of each team to deploy their players, make fine adjustments to the formation, and move forward or backward in small increments. With flexible defense, she absorbed the power of the monsters' waves of attacks and prevented any monster from rushing into the defense circle.
After fighting for a while, I suddenly found that the monsters around me began to adjust their populations again, and now the ones attacking me were most likely leopards!
Another round of Boss attack is about to begin, and this time the leader is the Leopard King and the seven old leopards he leads!
Although leopards are not much higher in level than bison, carnivorous animals are always more ferocious and leopards are agile. Often two or three of them will target one ally and attack at the same time. Now the boss hasn't moved yet, but we can't stand the pressure anymore and our defense line is retreating step by step!
I became nervous. Due to the loss of personnel, it was already difficult to maintain the current situation. If I were to draw out a group of knights to form a special team like last time, it might lead to a weakened defense. What should I do?
Before I could think about it, the Leopard King seemed to see that we were already weak in combat, so he attacked us with all his might and launched a fierce attack immediately!
Four old leopards, each bringing a large group of small monsters, rushed towards the defense line from four directions. When the focus of our defense was attracted to these four attack points, the Leopard King personally led the remaining three old leopards and the fastest group of cheetahs and launched a surprise attack from the middle position, trying to make a central breakthrough!
Damn it, I will fight you to the death! I did not retreat even a step, holding the Tiger Soul in my hand and concentrating my attention. Although I knew that I could not stop the Leopard King and its many followers alone, I could not retreat even if I died in this battle. In this way, perhaps I could still maintain the cohesion of the people. Even if the attack on the camp failed, I could reorganize the alliance members and develop the base again!
Suddenly, Xiao Wu sent a secret message: "There is chaos behind the monster group, it seems that a team is rushing in!"
I perked up, turned on the gang shouting function, and shouted: "Brothers, hold on, reinforcements are coming! If we can survive this round, we will win!"
The words were shouted out, and it obviously had the effect of boosting morale, but there was no certainty whether they could hold on!
In the blink of an eye, the Leopard King was the first to rush in front of me, and the Tiger Soul immediately slashed out wildly. I gathered my energy for a long time, just to give the Leopard King a head-on blow!
The Hundred Ripping Thorns left dozens of scars on the Leopard King, but I was also bitten. The Leopard King's claws all have lightning damage attributes, which paralyzed my whole body!
I endured the discomfort and made two consecutive thrusts, pushing away the two old leopards that pounced on me from the left and right. Then I swept the sword horizontally, and the sword light shot out. The leopard king howled miserably and was forced to retreat two steps!
However, after being attacked continuously by the E-level Boss and two ordinary Bosses, my HP dropped sharply, and an old leopard took the opportunity to pounce on me. Damn, am I going to die so soon?
A team member behind me suddenly rushed up and used his body to block the old leopard's attack for me, but there were too many monsters around, and several cheetahs pounced on him and killed him instantly!
I was furious! I filled up my Qi again, and the blade light of the Hundred Splitting Thorns shot out. Tiger Soul seemed to sense my anger, and with a roar, it launched a fatal attack. With just this one move, it killed four cheetahs!
However, the Hundred Ripping Thorns cannot be used continuously after all. Before I could recover my breath, more monsters pounced on me, killing me in a panic. Meanwhile, the two old leopards took the opportunity to break through my blockade and rushed into the defense circle!
I was very anxious and swung my sword at my maximum speed. The Leopard King and the remaining old leopard must not be let go!
However, human power is limited. Even if I am the best player in Fantasy, even if I hold the magic weapon Tiger Soul, how can I stop thousands of monsters with my own strength? Although I blocked the Leopard King and the Old Leopard, countless cheetahs rushed past me. The combat team members behind me kept screaming before dying. And I myself, under the attack of the monsters, my HP is almost at the bottom and I will die at any time! Are we really going to fail this time?
Suddenly, hundreds of low-level alliance members rushed out. They would be killed instantly if faced with monsters of this level. However, they took the initiative to face the monster's claws and used their bodies to block one or two attacks for their combat teammates, giving them a split second chance to replenish their blood. Including me, after four consecutive teammates sacrificed their lives for me, my HP was fully restored!
This situation may happen often between close friends, but as ordinary members of a gang, they can collectively make such sacrifices, which shows the quality of these members! Bad Bad assured me that "although these players are of low level, they are of high quality and will definitely become the elite of the Thunder Alliance in the future." I absolutely believe his words!
The enthusiasm of our brothers has aroused our fighting spirit. Now no one is thinking about whether they will die. We only have one thought: we must hold on until the reinforcements arrive. We cannot let the well-developed garrison be destroyed!
The reinforcements coming from afar did not disappoint us. After more than ten minutes, we felt the pressure eased. Countless high-level players rushed out from behind the monster group, and their breakthrough caused chaos among the leopards. After all, computers are not human brains. Being attacked from both sides, the leopards didn't know which side to attack. For a while, some moved forward and some retreated, and the whole group was in chaos.
The team that came to help was led by Ji Mo and Han Jiang! It turned out that Ah Wei was also anxious. Most of the core members were not online, so he immediately went offline and called Ji Mo and the others. Ji Mo and Han Jiang quickly asked for leave, logged into the game, and rushed to Po Jun City to gather all the senior members who had just come online, newly recruited, and resurrected in the city after being killed, totaling more than 60 people. In addition, a recruitment notice was issued through the system, inviting players above level 30 to participate in the Thunder Alliance's low-resistance monster attack mission, with a reward of 100 gold coins per person. Although time was tight, more than a hundred players were hired, and they rushed to the garrison in a mighty manner, just in time for the most urgent moment.
As soon as this new force arrived, the situation was reversed. Our defense zone was narrow and backed by two rivers. No matter how many monsters there were, the attack surface was limited. As long as the players could withstand it, they had nothing to fear. With Xiao Wu's good deployment, the two sides of the team soon gathered together. The melee and ranged attack professions each performed their duties, and a large number of monsters were quickly eliminated. The Leopard King was simply surrounded by seven or eight masters and killed wildly. In less than a quarter of an hour, he died in hatred!
After withstanding this wave of monster attacks, I ordered the formation to be gathered and the personnel to be counted. The result made us feel very heavy.
This round of Boss attacks caused the death of a large number of low-level alliance members, leaving less than 40 people. One third of the combatants in the original defense zone were also killed, leaving only about 80 people. The reinforcements brought by Momo and Hanjiang lost more than 30 people in the process of breaking through the monster group, and the total number of available troops is now more than 210.
This amount of manpower is more than enough for self-protection, but it is far from enough to eliminate the monster group. We can only hope that Wei who is still in the city can organize more people to support us.
I ordered the team members who had been fighting fiercely for more than three hours to retreat to the inner line to rest, and replaced the entire defense line with the fresh forces brought by Lonely and his men. Anyway, there was still some time before the next round of Boss attack, and 130 people could hold on.
At this time, the original instruction of not carrying dry food appeared. After fighting for such a long time, the hunger level of more than 80 alliance members has dropped to the bottom line, and several professional chef players have been killed. Now only Wenxin is busy grilling beast meat to fill everyone's stomach. As you can imagine, with so many people and so many "stomachs", Wenxin is so busy that his heels hit his head.
Fortunately, after more than half an hour, each member of the alliance had eaten half full. No one complained, and they all picked up their weapons and automatically joined the battle positions.
At this moment, the third wave of Boss attacks came again! This time, it was replaced by the most powerful lion among the nearby monsters. The male lion was as high as level 65. For most team members, it was difficult to fight two at a time, let alone so many lions rushing at the same time, especially the new reinforcements who were inexperienced, and they immediately suffered heavy casualties.
Xiao Wu hurriedly commanded the defense line to retreat, shrinking the formation to the limit as much as possible, and relying on the dense positioning of personnel, she finally resisted the attack of the lion group.
However, the Lion King is a D-level Boss on the same level as the Tiger King! Even its henchmen, the eight-headed golden lions, have the ability to attack from a distance. Under the combined attack of the nine bosses, deaths continue to appear in our defense line!
Unfortunately, it was impossible for me to immediately organize a special knight team like before to rush out to deal with the Lion King. Firstly, the Lion King is a D-level Boss, and even if I was surrounded by so many monsters, I could not withstand more than two hits; secondly, that kind of tactics required a high level of coordination, and without a period of running-in, it would be simply a suicide mission.
However, I also figured out a way to deal with it. I selected a group of archers and asked them to shoot with ice arrows at a long distance (archers have a longer range than mages). The golden lions were frozen from time to time, and the frequency of their attacks dropped sharply.
The lion king has a high AI and found it difficult to break through our defense line if the stalemate continued, so he simply led his followers and the lion group to launch a general attack!
At the same time, Xiao Wu brought news that reinforcements were coming from behind the monster group!
Good! It seems this is the last chance. Success or failure depends on this battle!
The lion king and its followers all rushed to the front of the defense line. Although the ordinary golden lion boss is of high level, a few masters can still deal with it together, but the D-level boss lion king is unstoppable. It kills almost anyone it sees in seconds. With its rushing left and right, it almost messed up our defense line!
However, by now, most of the low-level alliance members have died, and the existence of the defense line is no longer so important. Many team members have spontaneously gathered together to form a circle to resist the attacks of monsters and try their best to protect their position. However, if we allow the Lion King to slaughter us, I am afraid that all of our personnel will be killed before the reinforcements arrive!
At this juncture, I had no choice but to rush forward and fight the Lion King even though I knew I would lose.
I knew how powerful the Lion King was after only one fight with him. It turned out to be a monster of the same level as the Tiger King. It actually knocked off more than 1,000 points of my HP with just one blow!
Although I had Tiger Soul in my hand, and could cause much more damage to the Lion King than when I killed the Tiger King, it was meaningless in the current situation. The total HP of the Lion King was definitely enough to kill me, and I had no room to dodge at this moment!
Fortunately, I was not fighting alone. Compared with the time when only Xiao Yi and I were partners, now there were more than ten magicians and archers supporting me. After I blocked the lion king's movements for a moment, more warriors and knights gathered around and dispersed the lion king's attack on me. Finally, I was not killed instantly by it in two or three rounds.
However, those team members who bravely challenged the Lion King suffered heavy casualties. They were often depleted of blood by a single blow from the Lion King, and would be killed if one or two lions nearby came up and bit them. The Lion King's roar even killed half of the mages and archers who were supporting us!
However, the allies kept rushing up. When one group fell, another group would immediately take their place. Everyone knew that if they could hold the Lion King back for a moment longer, reinforcements would be one step closer to us, and final victory would be just around the corner!
After holding on for five or six minutes, dozens of our allies had already died at the hands of the Lion King. However, our pressure was gradually reduced, and the number of monsters around us was gradually decreasing. Instead, the shouts of the players were getting louder and louder. I took a moment to glance outside. Oh my God! When did so many people come? Now, outside the monster group, it was almost a one-on-one duel between people and monsters. A rough estimate was that there were probably thousands of reinforcements, and several elite troops composed of masters were breaking through the encirclement of the monster group and were about to kill us!
A thick bolt of lightning fell and hit the Lion King on the head, taking away more than 900 HP of the Lion King. I was shocked. Who else besides Xiao Yi could produce such a powerful lightning bolt?
Sure enough, the monsters behind the lion king fell one after another. The beautiful Xiao Yi rushed out first, followed by a large number of masters. Xiao Yi raised her hands and fired magic beads. Wan Xing shouted beside her: "Sky, we are not too late, are we?"
I was about to answer when a familiar hearty laugh came. Mynah bird rushed out of the group of monsters and shouted, "Brother, I'm here to help you! Haha, such a big guy, okay, let me do it!"
The battle was decided, and I was filled with heroic spirit. I shouted, "Everyone stand down. Xiao Yi, Myna, the three of us will fight the Lion King together!"
I opened the formation and put Xiao Yi and Myna into the formation. Myna and I attacked the Lion King from both sides. Xiao Yi cooperated and used Ice Rain, which was a tactic he was used to using when fighting the Tiger King.
The reason why I took the risk to kill the Lion King with the strength of three people was actually to thank Xiao Yi and Myna for helping me. I know they all want to form a gang, but their reputation is not enough. Currently, only the Tiger King that Xiao Yi and I have killed is a D-level Boss. Killing this Lion King should also have a reputation reward of 8,000. It is not a small amount if it is divided equally among the three of us.
Today, with the Tiger Soul Divine Sword in hand, my Black King seems not afraid of lions, so I can ride it all the time to fight, and can bring out the power of the Hundred Splitting Thorns; Myna is also a fierce general, and the Wild Storm in his hand is also an extraordinary item; Xiaoyi won a "Tears of the Elf" necklace as a reward for the martial arts competition, which greatly enhances the power of water magic and increases the success rate of freezing. The three of us are almost twice as strong as when fighting the Tiger King! What's more, among the players watching the battle from a distance, several priests kept casting healing spells and blessings for us. If that battle was a miracle, then our victory today is a matter of course!
However, the power of the lion king should not be underestimated. We must especially guard against its fatal blow that could kill us instantly. Every time my starling and I were hit, we would immediately retreat to replenish our blood and always fight with full blood. Although the lion king roared in anger, it could do nothing to us. Although its skill attacks posed a certain threat to us, they were resolved one by one by our coordinated operations. After more than 20 minutes, the lion king finally died of exhaustion!
At the same time, the thousands of masters brought by Xiao Yi and Myna have killed all the monsters, and we finally won the monster attack!
Because this monster raid is not a clear system task, there is no extra reward. You can only get three times the experience by killing monsters in the raid! I also killed a lot of monsters in the half-day battle today, and my level increased by half a level! And the alliance members who can hold on to the end and not die have even upgraded!
I naturally wanted to give the spoils dropped by the lion king to Bage and Xiaoyi. It was a surprise that a pet egg was dropped! This item is a new item added after the game upgrade, and the drop rate is extremely low. It is said that only a few players have been lucky enough to get it in the past two days. This egg was dropped by a D-level Boss, so it is naturally not ordinary. It is estimated that the pet will be very strong after hatching. Because Bage does not have the equipment of the Holy Spirit level, Xiaoyi took the initiative to give the egg to him.
After the fierce battle, I asked all the alliance members to go and rest, and then regroup at six o'clock in the evening to continue the reclamation work.
After settling down, I thanked Bage and Xiaoyi again and again. It was really great for them that, knowing that I was in trouble, they immediately organized all their online forces to come to my support. They were really good friends.
Myna and Xiaoyi said a few words of humility, saying that they also wanted to thank me for helping them gain a lot of reputation. Xiaoyi was only a few hundred points away from forming a gang.
However, we are all gang leaders. After this battle, we are all worried about the difficulty of building a gang. Although the power of Bage and Xiaoyi is stronger than that of the Thunder Alliance, if they are not well prepared, they may not be able to stop the monsters from attacking the camp. So we made an agreement to establish smooth communication channels with each other. In the future, if the three gangs encounter emergencies during construction and cannot cope with them by their own strength, the other two parties will unconditionally try their best to support them.
After seeing the two people off, I felt exhausted, so I immediately set up the tent and went offline. Damn it, I had to have a good rest.
