Volume 4 Chapter 2 Monster Attack (2)
Seven or eight thousand players rushed out of the city. If they could join forces with the remaining three thousand players outside the city, they would surely be very powerful and it would be easy to destroy the monster group - each person only had to deal with a dozen monsters of around level 40, and leveling up normally would be of this difficulty.
However, their ugly performance stunned us: instead of rescuing the besieged players, they rushed towards the equipment on the ground. The originally mighty army spontaneously split into countless small teams in an instant and were divided and surrounded by monsters!
Even so, if they tried hard to kill monsters, they would still have an advantage. However, they actually ignored the monsters around them and only rushed towards those glittering things. Archers and magicians were more agile and rushed ahead of the warriors. In order to save time, they rarely fought back against the monsters, but the monsters ' minions would not be polite. In this way, the farther they ran, the faster they died! And the more equipment these idiots dropped, it attracted more flies like honey, and the people behind rushed more eagerly towards the bodies of their comrades who had not disappeared yet - of course, they would not see the bodies, but only the equipment next to the bodies!
The show wasn't over yet, and a few players who were lucky enough to get to the equipment were about to pick it up when their "comrades" next to them chopped them down with a sword, entering the PK mode!
Oh my god, human greed can reach such a point! Although in the past online games, PK for equipment is absolutely common, but I thought that all players would be demoted after the city was breached, and everyone should have a sense of unity. Who knew that for that little bit of junk equipment, some people would kill each other! I have already begun to lose hope in defending the city. Damn it, I should have not come if I had known!
Those trash outside the city only woke up and started to fight back when the monsters surrounded them more and more tightly and saw their equipment right in front of them but they didn't even have the chance to move a step or two. However, at this time most people were already fighting alone or had only two or three teammates around them. Facing the army of monsters surrounding them on all sides, it was inevitable that they would be stuck in a tough battle.
And because of their stupidity, seven or eight thousand people did not play much of a role in stopping the monster horde, and a large number of monsters rushed and roared towards the city!
Although I am a little discouraged about defending the city, I will make the best of it and do my part. I will treat it as a training exercise for the Thunder Alliance! I said loudly: "Everyone has seen it. If we are not united, we will have the same fate as those people outside the city! I hope everyone can cooperate well! Listen to my orders: magicians set up a wall of fire 50 meters in front of the city, and archers shoot! Onmyoji prepare large-scale spells, but don't use them; Taoist priests don't use them either, to save talisman paper..."
Orders came out of my mouth one after another, and the members of this alliance passed these orders out. Perhaps the scene outside the city made the players in the city wary. The monsters that came were just some low-level monsters that were usually used as leveling targets. Just because they were not united, tens of thousands of people were killed in pieces. What would happen when higher-level monsters attacked? Therefore, most of the players followed my command. Although they could not be as neat and orderly as the members of this alliance, they basically sent out magic and arrows according to my arrangement.
Because the heavy rain had not yet fallen, the air was just humid and hot, and the power of the wizard's fire wall was only slightly weakened. When a fire barrier was ignited, the monsters' impact speed was significantly slowed down, and with arrows raining down from the top of the city wall, these low-level monsters could not withstand a few rounds of attacks and fell to the ground one after another. The first thirty meters in front of the city wall became the dividing line, and it was difficult for any monster to cross this line.
Because a large number of monsters were annihilated by the players on the city walls, the pressure on the players outside the city gradually decreased. The ranged professions among them were basically all killed, and the only ones left were warriors and knights with thick skin and long blood. At this moment, the density of monsters decreased, and their power began to be exerted. They rushed left and right in the monster group, slashing and killing.
However, at this time, they were not concentrating on fighting, but put more energy into fighting for equipment. Although there were more equipment dropped on the ground at this moment (the drop rate of siege monsters doubled, so in addition to the dead, monsters also dropped a lot of equipment), there were rarely incidents that caused several people to PK each other for a piece of equipment, but they missed the opportunity to quickly eliminate the monster group.
I couldn't help but sneer. If they killed the monsters as soon as possible and returned to the city, I would still order the gatekeepers to let them in. It would be considered that they killed all the monsters. Although I said harsh words, there was no need to deliberately go against these players and make enemies. But these ignorant guys were still wasting time. Judging from the attack frequency of the first two waves of monsters, the third wave of monsters would appear soon. At that time, I really didn't dare to open the city!
Sure enough, when there were only tens of thousands of monsters left outside the city, hundreds of thousands of new monsters appeared!
This time, all the monsters that came were undead monsters. All kinds of skeletons and zombies appeared all over the mountains and plains, as if hell was about to come to the world in an instant!
When I was in my 30s, I still had to be very careful when going to the Dark Cave to level up. The current average level of players is only slightly higher than mine, and their offense and defense are not as good as mine then. Faced with thousands of level 40-50 undead monsters, those trash outside the city finally woke up and realized how small their power was. The monster group before them was not something they could resist. They reluctantly gave up the countless equipment still remaining on the ground and retreated towards the city gate in a mess. After the siege began, various scrolls lost their function, so they could only rely on running errands.
I shouted sternly, "Brothers, guard the city gates well, and don't let anyone or any monster in! Anyone who dares to rush through the gate will be killed without mercy!"
At the same time, I issued another order: "Onmyoji! Release the large-scale spells you have prepared! Magicians, cast lightning magic! Magic archers, shoot with holy light arrows! Divine archers, don't attack, be alert in the air! Priests, only attack when there are monsters approaching the city wall..."
The Onmyojis, who had been preparing for a while, released their Five Elements spells. In an instant, landslides and tsunamis occurred outside the city walls, and the entire natural environment underwent tremendous changes!
In Fantasy, the profession of Onmyoji is not suitable for single combat, as they have many weaknesses. However, in group combat, especially large-scale combat, they have unparalleled abilities. Their five-element spells have a large attack range, far exceeding the magician's area attack magic. Although the lethality to a single unit is small, when multiple Onmyoji are stacked together, the power is extremely terrifying!
Large tracts of the land outside the city turned into swamps, quicksand, and floating mud (the spell of the "water" and "earth" lines), and a large number of monsters were trapped in them... The weeds on the ground suddenly grew wildly, turning into countless snake-like vines, tightly wrapping the legs of the monsters... A raging flame ignited in the air, sweeping countless monsters into the sea of fire... The equipment left on the ground suddenly exploded, and thousands of metal fragments flew into the air, circling and dancing. Gradually, their appearance changed into small golden flying swords, automatically piercing into the bodies of the monsters...
It is a great pity that the average level of Onmyoji among current players is still too low, and the power of their spells is still too small. It is more like an illusion than a spell. Otherwise, this round of spell attacks alone can at least annihilate most of the monsters. But now, their role is only to slow down the advancement of the monster group.
However, it was the actions of this group of Onmyoji that gave the remaining players outside the city a chance to escape. Although half of them were caught up and surrounded by monsters and soon died at the hands of these powerful undead monsters, more than 2,000 people finally retreated to the city gate in time.
However, they were horrified to find that the one hundred members of the Thunder Alliance guarding the city gate were arranged in neat rows, blocking the gate without leaving any gaps, and their eyes shot out cold glances, with no intention of making way to let them enter the city!
"Damn it! Get out of the way! The monsters are attacking! Let me into the city!"
"Thunder Alliance, you actually dare to block the door, what's the meaning, do you want to kill us?"
"Fuck, if you don't let me, I'm going to get angry!"
"Thunder Alliance, I'm going to fuck your ancestors. I'm going to get mad!"
The players outside the city gate started to curse, and the faces of my brothers around me changed. Some mages and archers were ready to transfer the attacks originally shot at the monsters to their heads.
I waved my hand to stop the alliance members from acting impulsively, and shouted angrily: "You guys downstairs, weren't you very brave before? Didn't you want to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight? Now the monsters are behind you, go and kill them. After killing all the monsters, won't all the credit be yours? Go! Don't you feel great grabbing equipment? We won't give up the way. We are timid and afraid that the monsters will rush in. The responsibility of guarding the city gate will be handed over to you warriors! After repelling the monsters, I will have a banquet in the city to celebrate your success!"
The alliance members and other players who heard me speak all burst into laughter. Originally, many players were dissatisfied with my overbearing style, but after seeing the disgusting performance of the players outside the city, they gradually turned to admire and support me. Now that I did not open the door, deliberately wanting them to die in battle outside the city, the players in the city also felt that they were asking for trouble and deserved it.
"Fuck you, Bloody Sky. I'll remember you. Do you think you're so cool just because you're the leader of a gang? Damn it, if you don't give us face, don't blame us for being rude. Brothers, charge in!"
The guys outside the city were now anxious and angry. The monsters had surrounded their rear, and people were dying continuously. If they didn't enter the city, no one would be spared in less than ten minutes. So at the slightest provocation, the group of people closest to the city gate rushed up.
But the brothers of the Thunder League who were guarding the city gate had been prepared. Moreover, they were the most elite Thunder Corps, so how could they allow these trash to act so presumptuous!
The passageway in the city gate was narrow, only accommodating twenty people standing side by side. Therefore, only about seventeen or eighteen players could rush in. Moreover, there was no coordination between them, they just pushed and shoved each other, so it could be said that they were "squeezed" in.
We are standing in the first row, we are the 20 selected warriors with a level of over 40, and they are the blood bull type! Their mission is to build an insurmountable gate with flesh and blood!
Faced with the swords and knives in the hands of the players who were rushing towards them frantically, the warriors of the Thunder Alliance did not take action. They just used the defensive skill "Iron Shirt"!
Players above level 40 are considered rare masters in the current Fantasy World. Most of the players that rushed in were not as good as them in level. In addition, the Blood Bull Warriors used defensive skills, and the attacks of those players were disorganized, with some coming first and some coming later, and their attacks were scattered. They did not focus on attacking a few targets. Not to mention killing the Thunder Alliance warriors in seconds, there were not even many who needed to drink medicine!
As soon as these players took action, their PK value was immediately increased, and their equipment turned into a yellow-brown color. The members of the Thunder Alliance could legally fight back!
Behind the soldiers was a row of senior swordsmen. Twenty half-moon-shaped sword auras were emitted from the gaps between the positions of their comrades in front of them. Suddenly, there was a cry of agony in the passage of the city gate, and blood splattered everywhere. The power of the sword aura emitted by the elite swordsmen of the alliance was not easy to withstand!
Behind the swordsmen was a mixed team of Taoist priests and priests. They did not take action. Behind them was a row of magicians and archers. Before those players could come to their senses, the magicians and archers had already launched a long-range attack! They could not see the target in front of them, but through the hand signals from their teammates in front of them, they could accurately calibrate the direction and shoot! This is the paramilitary force we trained, the Thunder Knights!
After three rounds of attacks using sword energy, magic, and bows and arrows, nearly twenty players in the front were killed. The people behind them were shocked. The Thunder Alliance was even more terrifying than monsters!
However, they had no time to think. They were pushed by the players behind them who could not see this amazing scene, and they rushed forward involuntarily...
Outside the city, the army of undead monsters had almost reached the foot of the city wall, but under the fierce long-range attacks from the top of the city wall, the monsters had no chance to climb up the city wall, especially the purification performed by the priests. White light flew down and shone on a skeleton or zombie. Then a soul floated above the heads of these monsters, and their bodies shattered and disappeared. Purification was a white magic that had special effects on undead monsters. The success rate varied according to the skill level, but as long as it succeeded, it was a 100% kill !
The players surrounded at the city gate had been compressed into a tight semicircle. The players on the outer edge had nowhere to retreat. Behind them were densely packed people. They had no choice but to turn around and fight the monsters. However, relatively speaking, they were now a tight whole, because in addition to the front, the sides and back were full of people, which reduced the range of each person being attacked by the monsters. Their defense seemed to be well-organized, and the casualty rate was greatly reduced. If there were no remote professions and auxiliary professions such as priests among them, it would not be difficult for them to hold on for half an hour to an hour. By then, the monsters would have been killed by the players in the city.
However, the players who are close to the passage cannot see this situation. They only know that there are countless monsters outside the city and they cannot enter the city. The only outcome is death!
Therefore, the action of attacking the city gate guarded by the Thunder Alliance became more frantic, but the iron defense line composed of 20 soldiers never retreated, just like a reef standing on the seashore, and it would not be shaken even by the beating of the tide! In the city gate passage, the blood that had not been refreshed in time covered the ground with a layer of red felt!
Soon, the players outside the city began to be unable to hold on because some bosses mixed in with the monsters, such as the Skeleton General, the Millennium Zombie and other monsters, took action!
Before I reached level 36, if I didn't have the help of the Evening Star's trap, it would be a bit difficult to fight a boss of this level alone, not to mention these players who were already busy resisting the monsters? The corpse gas of the thousand-year-old zombies spewed out, and many players were poisoned. The speed of drinking medicine to replenish blood was a bit slow. In addition, the siege of many monsters made players fall one after another... And the high-defense and high-attack Skeleton General, the big blade in its hand was the death warrant for many players!
It would be fine if there were only one or two bosses, but the group of players outside the city were more attractive targets to the monsters than the solid city walls, especially the bosses with relatively high AI... Soon, fifteen or sixteen thousand-year-old zombies, and even more skeleton generals, were killing them!
As for the players on the city walls, few were willing to support them because they despised their behavior. All arrows and magic were shot far away, and the monsters could attack !
As casualties increased dramatically, the worst nature of human beings was fully revealed: some people even started to PK with their companions in order to gain a chance to survive a little longer, and tried their best to squeeze into the center of the crowd to escape the battle with monsters!
Watching this scene, I was completely speechless. This is the Cang Continent, and most of the players here are Chinese. From the language of the trash below the city, I can tell that most of them are Chinese players! On the contrary, those players who obeyed the command and stayed in the city, some of them talked in Korean, and some in English...
One fact I cannot refute is that among all the players in the world, the Chinese players have the worst average quality in online games! In foreign countries, malicious PK to snatch monsters and equipment almost never happens, and phenomena such as renting out the field for leveling are unheard of. When I was building the guild, I had to include these clauses in the alliance rules, which also led to the slow expansion of the number of members of the Jinglei Alliance, because many players felt that they could not accept such constraints!
I coldly looked at the players outside the city who were yelling and cursing, even PKing each other, and some of them were still greedily rushing to their companions' newly dropped equipment even though their lives were at stake. I said that I ordered to block the city gates out of a momentary impulse of anger, but now I absolutely do not regret my order. Such rubbish is simply a disgrace to all Chinese players, and leaving them in the city will probably cause more damage than construction to the city defense! Fortunately, after the siege began, the Reincarnation Hall in the city automatically cancelled the resurrection function, otherwise I would definitely dispatch people to guard there, and kill these rubbish one by one when they are resurrected, until they return to the Novice Village!
I thanked the monsters outside the city. Their frantic attacks quickly ended this farce. As the number of people dwindled and the internal strife continued, in less than ten minutes, no player could be seen outside the city. Following my gestures, a large amount of magic was cast towards the monsters that began to attack the city gate. The third batch of monsters had been completely wiped out...
