Volume 4 Chapter 5 Monster Attack (5)
With the help of other players, I easily got behind the Stoneman King. I stabbed him twice. The Stoneman King felt the threat I brought to him. The damage I caused to him alone was greater than that of other players combined! The Stoneman King turned around like a whirlwind, but I didn't give him a chance to attack. I rode back a few steps. Hehe, I'm not stupid. If more people come and surround me, I won't even have a chance to escape!
The gap I made was immediately blocked by the crowd rushing in. The Stoneman King was more attractive than a beautiful woman... but it seemed that he had a special liking for me? He chopped down two warriors who rushed forward with two axes, trying to kill a bloody path to chase me, the "unfaithful man". However, more players had already blocked his way. The Stoneman King stared at me helplessly, and I looked at him innocently.
After stepping back from the front line, I looked at the situation and frowned secretly. In fact, there are only a few players who have the courage to fight the Stone Man King to the death. Everyone knows that the C-level Boss has a lot of blood, and they are all waiting to take advantage when their health is almost gone. Therefore, most of the people who are really risking their lives are members of the Thunder Alliance, and their casualties are also the most serious, especially the whirlwind slash of the Stone Man King just now. More than two hundred brothers in our alliance died!
Damn, if we keep fighting this way, how many of the 1,000 brothers I brought to the city gate will be left after I kill the Stoneman King? They are the backbone of the city defense, I can't let them die here in vain, and if I use some tricks, it will be terrible!
I secretly gave an order through the alliance communication: "Members of this alliance, please pay attention, conserve your strength, and don't get too close to the Stoneman King! Slowly retreat to the periphery, and run away immediately when you see the Boss use his ultimate move. Our mission is to defend Pojun City, not to kill the Boss!"
The alliance members understood what I meant. They should let others fight for their lives. The Jinglei Alliance has no obligation to make things difficult for others!
The members of the Thunder Alliance retreated slowly and inconspicuously. Anyway, there would be people willing to rush forward, and the Stone Man King would not fail to find a target to kill.
I began to loudly encourage the players: "Everyone, come on! Besiege it! There are so many of us, there is nothing to be afraid of! The Stone King is running out of MP! Well, after killing it for so long, I guess it doesn't have much HP left, it will explode at any time! You will be rich if you pick up a piece of Holy Spirit equipment..."
Seeing that the Stoneman King hadn't shown his power for a while, many people believed my words, and the temptation of the Holy Spirit Equipment became a little stronger. More and more people couldn't help but join the ranks of besieging the Stoneman King... Hehe, in fact, it is not certain that the C-level Boss will drop the Holy Spirit Equipment. Even if it does, who is lucky enough to grab it! However, the power of greed is infinite, isn't it?
Suddenly, the Stone Man King exploded with a loud bang!
Everyone was stunned. The C-level Boss died so quickly?
However, there were no gold coins or equipment, but stones! The Stone King's entire body was shattered into fist-sized stones, like a cannonball, smashing into every player near it, turning them into sieves. Each stone created a bloody hole as big as a bowl!
More than two hundred players fell, but fortunately I had foresight and the Thunder Alliance suffered very little loss. After killing hundreds of players, the stones flew back to the center in a strange arc and gathered together. After a while, they piled up to form a stone king again!
Wow, it has endless special moves, and it can kill hundreds of people at once. Who designed such a perverted monster?
However, as the saying goes, "Many ants can kill an elephant." I still have thousands of players here. On the city wall, I can call tens of thousands of people down at any time. Let's play slowly and see who can defeat whom?
With a cunning smile on my face, I shouted loudly, "Okay, the Stone Man King has resorted to the trick of self-destruction, he must be at the end of his rope. Everyone, hurry up, or you won't be able to grab the treasures that are dropped!" and rushed forward.
Hehe, after the ultimate move, there is always a short delay, this is the best time to attack safely! Of course, this is also the best opportunity for me to show my "bravery". I rushed to the Stoneman King and chopped him out with a Hundred Splits... Hmm? After a flurry of slashes, the Stoneman King was chopped with crisscross marks, deducting more than 10,000 HP. Although the Hundred Splits is indeed powerful, it shouldn't have this effect, right?
Another thrust confirmed my idea and I burst into laughter: "Haha, the Stoneman King's defense has been reduced! The move of its self-explosion just now will reduce its defense! This is a good opportunity! Don't miss it!"
Although the Stoneman King's self-explosion killed many people, a few players who were close to it were lucky enough not to be hit by the rubble. They were just stunned for a moment because they were too surprised. Now that I reminded them, they all realized that the Stoneman King's defense was reduced, which meant that it would be killed soon? It would explode with equipment at any time! How could such a good thing be given to others? Everyone rushed forward and killed it.
In fact, there was no need for me to encourage them anymore. Regardless of what the Stone King would drop, it had killed so many players and had left a lot of equipment around it! The players who were still hesitating at first finally couldn't resist the temptation and rushed up one after another, while I withdrew quietly. Humph, lowering defense doesn't necessarily mean lowering attack? I don't want to be hit by that axe again. If you want to grab it, go ahead. If I die and Tiger Soul or something drops, I don't know where to cry.
The Stoneman King was still waving his axe wildly. Every time he swung the axe, limbs and flesh were broken and blood splattered. From time to time, he would use one or two skills to kill a dozen players in one blow. However, he did not use the ultimate move that could kill hundreds of people instantly. I guess he really didn't have much MP left, right?
Twenty minutes later, the Stoneman King killed no less than a thousand players. However, there were too many players besieging it, and the Stoneman King could not kill them all. Although its own defense was strong, it continued to be attacked by countless weapons. Finally, this extremely powerful Boss could not bear it anymore, and cheers broke out in the crowd: "It's seriously injured! The Stoneman King is seriously injured! Damn, is it an explosion of anger? It doesn't matter, everyone, work harder! The Stoneman King is about to die!"
Haha, it really doesn't matter. For most players, being hit by the Stoneman King means instant death. So no matter how high the opponent's attack power is after the explosion of anger, it will still be killed instantly, right? Who lives and who dies depends on luck! Fortunes are sought in danger. At this point, of course, even if you die, you must get close to the Stoneman King to get more chances to grab treasures!
I would not go up. It was not worth taking such a risk for me. I just secretly commanded the members of our alliance to surround the Stone Man King from all sides and block the other players. The players inside were still fighting desperately with the dying Stone Man King, but it was difficult for those outside to squeeze in. The members of our alliance occupied advantageous positions. When the core players were almost all dead, the Stone Man King was surrounded by almost all members of the Thunder Alliance.
The Stoneman King was on his last breath, and before he died he swung a rock-breaking slash, killing more than a dozen of his brothers in the alliance. However, at the same time, he was also stabbed countless times by the swords and knives of the players behind him, and finally fell to the ground with a bang. All of a sudden, the ground within a range of more than ten meters around him was covered with a glittering layer!
Wow, it's worthy of being a C-level Boss with doubled drop rate! At least 70 or 80 items dropped, but in a moment, the ground was already clean. With my eyesight, I couldn't see the process of people grabbing the treasures, the movements were too fast...
After the Stoneman King was taken care of, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then, regardless of whether they had gained anything or not, they all cheered at the top of their lungs! We killed a C-level Boss, and we secured the city gate!
The heavy casualties in this battle are really chilling. One Stoneman King killed more than two thousand players. Damn it, if it weren’t for my good command, I don’t know how many times more people would have been lost!
However, before we could finish our joy, urgent news came from the other three gates. The North City did a good job. Although more people died than us, they also surrounded and killed a Stone Man King. The East Gate and South Gate were breached, and a large number of monsters poured into the city. The defenders could no longer resist and requested support!
Damn it, can't you just let me take a break? I had no choice but to urgently mobilize the remaining 700 members of the Thunder Alliance in front of the city gate. In addition to leaving more than 100 members of the Thunder Group to guard the city gate, the rest of the alliance members went to the city wall to gather players and quickly go to the two gates for support.
Since the siege began, the West City has suffered the least loss of players. From now until noon, many players have come online in the city. The number of players in the West City has even increased slightly compared to before the war. I sent two armies of 20,000 people each to rescue the East City and the South City. The remaining troops are enough to deal with the battle on the wall.
Because our tactics were correct, the stone giants' manpower was continuously consumed, and there were not many of these monsters left at this time. There were still many stone monsters in the desert outside the city, and we did not dare to rush out of the city to fight. We could only wait for the magicians and archers to shoot slowly. However, after such a long battle, although most of the monsters were blocked by ice, the city walls still suffered a lot of attacks and had some damage at the moment. Cracks appeared on the walls in some places, but it seemed that they could still hold up until the end of this wave of attacks.
But soon there was another change: many warriors who were fighting the stone giants suddenly screamed: "What the hell is this? Ah? I'm poisoned! It's a damn venomous snake! There are venomous snakes crawling up the city!"
There was a sudden chaos on the city wall. Countless snakes such as seven-star, golden ring, and silver crown snakes climbed up the wall and bit anyone they saw. Originally, the level of these venomous snakes was not too high, and it was impossible for them to make us so embarrassed. But at this time everyone was fighting fiercely with those stone monsters, and for a moment we had to guard against the sneak attacks of the venomous snakes under our feet, and dodge the sledgehammer of the stone giant. We were in a mess.
I was startled. Did these venomous snakes appear because the fifth round of attack was about to start, or did the monsters start using a multi-army attack tactic? If it was the former, it would be better. If it was the latter...
I looked into the distance and didn't see any other kinds of monsters, so I felt a little relieved. However, in the rainstorm, visibility was limited, so I couldn't tell what the real situation was.
"Attention all players, each group of five will deal with a stone giant, and the other five will be responsible for protection on the outside. They will kill the poisonous snakes that get close to them, and perform sacrifices to detoxify the poisoned players. Ranged professions must not act rashly, and Taoists and other professions must protect the ranged professions... The defense line on the east side of the city wall has been breached, but the seventh group of the Thunder Alliance has plugged the gap for me..." I issued one order after another and quickly stabilized the situation. What I'm afraid of now is chaos. If we are well organized, we are still stronger than the monsters.
Sure enough, after most people had divided the work and cooperated, the battle became much easier. For players who were well prepared, the sneak attacks of the venomous snakes were no longer effective, and the stone giants were almost completely destroyed. The number of "human ladders" gradually decreased...
"Pila!" As time passed, the thunder and lightning became more frequent, the wind became stronger, but the raindrops gradually became smaller. It seemed that the storm would soon be over!
At this time, I received a battle report. After obtaining sufficient support, the battle situation in East City and South City had stabilized, the city gate had been recaptured, and the Boss was surrounded by human wave tactics. It was only a matter of time before he was beheaded. We had survived another round.
As the wind blew strongly, the dark clouds in the sky were like galloping horses, rolling and changing into all kinds of strange shapes, gradually drifting to the southeast, and a bright spot appeared in the northwest sky. I was delighted. Once the wind and rain stopped, professions such as mages would be able to go all out without being affected by the environment, and the chances of defending the city would increase.
However, the problem at hand is the desert stone monsters under the city wall. If I don't get rid of them quickly, the city wall will be seriously damaged, which will be extremely disadvantageous for the subsequent battles. After some consideration, I decided to go out of the city to fight and eliminate these stone monsters while there are no other high-level monsters attacking and the Boss has been almost wiped out.
Under my command, a group of high-level warrior players gathered in front of the city gate. I said in a deep voice, "Everyone, we are now going to complete a dangerous mission - take the initiative to attack and eliminate the stone monsters that attack our city walls. Fighting outside the city is not as safe as fighting on the city walls. You may die at any time, so you can decide whether to participate voluntarily."
Several voices immediately erupted from the crowd: "I'll join! At worst, I'll die once, and if I fail to defend the city, I'll be demoted three levels, which is worse than dying ten times!"
"Oh my god! I missed such an exciting battle. I will regret it for the rest of my life!"
"Of course I'm going. Who wants to be a coward?"
With someone taking the lead, everyone was more excited and almost no one quit. I said with satisfaction, "Okay, warriors, follow me. Charging into battle is the value of our existence as warriors!"
This one sentence boosted everyone's morale to the highest point. The allies guarding the city gate made way for the passage. I rode on the unicorn, took the lead, and galloped out of the city!
Tens of thousands of soldiers followed me and rushed out of the city gate. I ordered my guard captain Ah Huo (the same Ah Huo who started the fight with Ao Shi. With his crazy efforts, his level increased rapidly. After establishing the Thunder Group, I, as the leader of the alliance, had my own personal guard - the guard. The members were all the most elite masters in the alliance. Ah Huo could become the captain, so you can imagine how powerful he is) to lead half of the troops to attack to the left, while I took the remaining five or six thousand people to the right.
In fact, the battle at the beginning was not dangerous, and was even very easy. Most of the desert stone monsters were frozen because they were attacked remotely by the players on the city wall. We were facing only a few monsters that could still move. Basically, the vanguard troops surrounded the stone monsters as soon as they rushed up. After a crazy hack and slash, when the players behind caught up, there was only a pile of broken stones. Especially those frozen stone monsters, they were just training targets. No matter what moves you used, they would not resist. But as the monsters noticed our actions, hundreds of stone monsters rushed towards us in groups, and a large number of snakes , and the battle became fierce. Especially since most of these players were not members of our alliance, although they were not as disorganized as those who fought at the beginning of the siege, it was difficult to achieve close cooperation. Many people were cut apart by monsters, left alone and died quickly, or because their own dodges exposed the gap in defense, their comrades beside them were besieged and killed by monsters!
Fortunately, I left reliable commanders on the city wall. They instructed the mages and archers to provide us with great support. Countless magic arrows poured down from the top of the city, hitting the monsters around us and delaying their actions... Overall, we were able to effectively inflict heavy casualties on the monsters, and the number of desert stone monsters decreased rapidly .
We killed all the stone monsters along the way from the city gate to the corner of the city wall, and the number of warriors reduced by more than half! My own defense is high, so I didn't feel much pressure. Now I looked back and saw that the team had shrunk by more than half, and I realized how terrible the desert stone monsters were to ordinary players! If it weren't for the freezing of the mage archer, I'm afraid that even if I took 10 times more people out of the city, I would never come back!
However, the way back to the city was much easier. There were only a few scattered stone monsters left, and the level of the venomous snakes could not pose much threat to high-level players like us. With the flying swords and sabers, the venomous snakes were chopped into countless small pieces. We returned triumphantly in the bloody killing, and met up with another group of people led by Ah Huo at the city gate, and rushed into the city gate with cheers!
When I climbed up to the top of the wall again, the wind stopped, the rain stopped, a ray of golden sunlight broke through the gap in the dark clouds and shone onto the center of Pojun City. A colorful rainbow hung in the distant sky, which was magnificent and attracted the attention of players one after another. Many people praised this natural wonder that is rarely seen in reality.
"Damn, what is that!" An elven archer next to me stretched out his right hand and pointed at the rainbow in the sky.
