Volume 4 Chapter 8 Monster Attack (8)
Seeing that it was hopeless to gather his men, Bi'an did not launch a counterattack against us, but opened his mouth (Bian'an is a dragon, but has a tiger's head, a strange creature), and another ball of lightning hit the City Hall!
I'm dizzy, this guy is determined to rely on his high health and want to destroy the town hall first despite the attacks from the players!
I was really anxious now. The HP of the A-level Boss was probably in millions. There were only a limited number of ranged players in the city. The attacks just now looked scary, but none of them could really hurt Bi'an. One round of attacks would only force him to lose 30,000 or 40,000 HP. If he just stayed in the air and attacked the City Hall, the first thing that would be destroyed would be the City Hall. Cracks had already appeared on the outer wall of the City Hall, and some places had even begun to collapse on a small scale. I was afraid that if he took another three or four attacks, it would be razed to the ground!
However, I have no way to change Bi'an's actions! The AI of A-level Boss is almost as smart as human beings! Since such a powerful attack can't attract Bi'an to change its attack target, other tricks are even more useless. Now I have no other choice. We are doomed to fail in this siege!
I sighed in frustration and prepared to log off, lest the Bi'an destroy the town hall and then attack the players. If I was not careful, I would be killed by it and suffer even greater losses. However, a voice suddenly rang out from the chaotic crowd: "Brothers, charge forward, for the sake of victory, use our flesh and blood to block the enemy's attack!"
In shock, I saw a figure rush out of the crowd, run quickly to the foot of the wall of the City Hall, and quickly climb up along the outer wall. Looking at his graceful movements, this person must be proficient in this in real life. Strange, strange, is he a mountaineer?
While I was still daydreaming, hundreds of people rushed out and followed that man to climb onto the roof of the City Hall. They stood side by side on the roof, looking up at the sky, with heroic looks!
At this moment, Bi'an attacked again! A ball of lightning as big as a millstone fell from the sky and exploded above the heads of these warriors. In the flashing lightning, they could clearly see their hair standing on end due to the lightning, and then their entire bodies turned into ashes!
Honestly speaking, the blocking effect provided by these hundreds of people was not great. After the huge explosion, the City Hall was shaking and the damage was obviously more serious. But immediately afterwards, hundreds of people rushed out again and climbed to the roof!
Under the leadership of these people, all the players were infected by this heroic spirit. Everyone felt their blood boiling. The passionate emotions of thirsting for victory and not fearing sacrifice suddenly broke out. Among the hundreds of thousands of players gathered in the Municipal Square, the slogan "For victory, go!" rang out. All the warriors, swordsmen, priests, thieves and other players who were temporarily unable to attack Bi'an rushed to the City Hall. In an instant, the outer wall of the City Hall was covered with people . The scene was like candy covered with ants...
This scene was captured by the GM and posted on the official forum, which caused a great response. Many players who participated in this battle expressed their thoughts: "Although the previous battles were also exciting and fierce, we knew that they were just playing games, but now we have the feeling of being truly involved in a war! At that moment, our blood was burning, and equipment, experience, money... nothing mattered. The only thing we wanted at this moment was victory!"
This is a story for later. At that time, the entire city hall was completely covered by the players' bodies. Everyone had only one belief: to use my life to protect the final key to our victory!
Another ball of lightning blasted down, and after the same violent explosion, none of the thousands of players who were protecting the city hall survived! However, their sacrifice was not in vain. Due to the dispersion of energy, this time the attack of the Bi'an caused almost no damage to the city hall except for a few pieces of rubble!
Seeing that this sacrificial tactic was effective, people became even more excited, and more players rushed forward to protect the town hall tightly again.
It’s a long story, but actually it only took one or two minutes. During this process, the magicians and archers never stopped shooting. Everyone understands that although there are a large number of players, if they continue to consume like this, they will all die one day. The only way to solve the problem is to knock down Bi’an as soon as possible!
Bi'an launched another attack, and just like the last time, it could not damage the City Hall at all except for killing a large number of players. It finally realized that it would not be able to destroy the building without killing all those players!
However, the situation was reversed at this time. Bi'an, which was under attack from tens of thousands of players, was actually losing blood very quickly. Although hundreds of thousands of players were queuing to die, it would not be killed all in a short time. Before that, it would definitely have died long ago!
Bi'an let out a long cry of anger and helplessness, gave up attacking the city hall, swooped down from the sky, and plunged into the area where the crowd was most densely packed. With the help of the players' cover, the attacks it would have to endure were much less than those in the air. It now decided to kill the players first and then destroy the city!
The action of Bi'an was just what I wanted. Now the situation was a fight of attrition. I was actually very nervous about the battle just now. Although everyone was brave enough to move forward, the casualties were too terrible. If we delay for a while, if someone can't bear the pressure and retreats, I'm afraid the fighting spirit of all the players will collapse at once; or if Bi'an's attack frequency is too fast, exceeding the speed of the players rushing up and climbing the wall, the city hall may be destroyed at any time! Now there is no urgent need. I don't believe that through correct command and dispatch, and giving full play to the advantage of the number of players, we will not be able to defeat you, an A-level Boss!
But when it comes to command, my brows furrowed again. Hundreds of thousands of people! What does that mean? Just thinking about it gives me a headache. What's even more annoying is that most of these players come from all over the world, and they don't belong to the same organization. They haven't received training like the members of the Thunder Alliance. Not to mention other things, just the transmission of orders is a big problem!
I was thinking hard about countermeasures. The sudden landing of Bi'an had caused great chaos among the players! Because the crowd was too dense, when Bi'an swooped into the crowd, the archers and magicians who were a little further away lost their targets, but Bi'an was just in the right place. The denser the crowd, the more fun it had to kill. It just treated the countless swords and knives that chopped at it as an itch, and it could easily use skills like Dragon's Fury and Dragon's Roar to knock down large groups of players around it!
Seeing that the situation was not good, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that my brothers in the alliance had to make a great sacrifice!
I immediately issued an internal order to gather all the members currently in the city to my side. After counting, I found there were about 3,000 people, of which one third were archers and magicians.
I first let the archers and magicians take up their respective positions, forming a circle of about a kilometer in diameter to encircle Bi'an, and then issued a system broadcast: "Attention all players in Pojun City: Thank you for your bravery, which has given us hope of victory! But now we still need to work closely together to defeat this final boss - Bi'an! We can't continue this melee, otherwise the casualties will be too great, and the victory we have achieved may be lost! Now let the members of the Thunder Alliance demonstrate a coordinated attack. Players who are not members of the Thunder Alliance, please evacuate the boss. Repeat, players who are not members of the Thunder Alliance, please evacuate the boss!"
It took me more than ten minutes to arrange all this, and more than 50,000 players have died at the hands of Bi'an! And Bi'an itself has been greatly reduced in attacks, and its HP has even increased! It seems that without a unified command, A-level Bosses cannot be defeated by numbers!
After hearing the broadcast, the players who were in a frenzy and chaos calmed down. Yes, even if they were not afraid of death, if they died meaninglessly and did not help in defeating Bi'an, then it could not be called bravery but stupidity!
The players retreated one after another, and I sent out a few allies in advance. Their mission was to entangle the Bi'an and prevent it from chasing the retreating players.
No matter how high the AI of Bi'an is, it is just computer artificial intelligence. It did not notice this subtle change. For the logic of computer program, its current task is to kill people, as long as there are people to kill, no matter if they are members of Jinglei League or other players A, B, C, D? Of course, the number of players around it has decreased sharply, so it can't kill hundreds or thousands of people at a time, which makes Bi'an very dissatisfied. However, when it wants to chase those fleeing people, there are always a dozen annoying guys entangled like flies, either blocking in front of it or chasing behind it, and stabbing it hard in the buttocks. Bi'an was "very angry", opened its tiger's mouth, and bit off half of the body of the person in front of it; waved its dragon claws, and swept away three or four humans; swung its dragon tail, and beat the players who dared to cut its buttocks into meat sauce!
However, after killing one group, another group came. Although their number was not large, it always made it impossible for Bi'an to extricate himself. In a short while, there were no other players within 500 meters of Bi'an, forming a large empty battlefield!
As a result, Bi'an's figure was exposed! Its huge body immediately became an excellent target, and more than a thousand Thunder Alliance archers and magic players around it immediately launched a covering fire attack - the other players who saw that there was an advantage to be gained were of course unwilling to fall behind, and in an instant, the scene of thousands of arrows being fired at Bi'an at the beginning reappeared before their eyes, but the target was changed from the air to the ground!
Bi'an realized something was wrong and quickly prepared to fly into the air to move the battlefield, but hundreds of members of the Thunder Alliance appeared from all around like ghosts and surrounded Bi'an tightly!
In the fantasy world, no matter if it is a person or a monster, when the density of players or monsters around him reaches a certain limit, he will fall into a state of being "sieged". In the siege state, the system stipulates that the target cannot move or fly. Of course, there are some skills that can break this state, such as the warrior's wild collision, the mage's short-distance teleportation, etc., but Bi'an has all powerful attack skills, but he has no tricks to break the siege!
Now, the only thing Bi'an could do was to launch a group attack spell to instantly kill these hundred people, but how could the encirclement set up by the members of the Thunder Alliance under my command be so easy to break? In addition to these hundred people, there were another hundred people standing around, just out of the killing range of Bi'an's spell. When the hundred brothers in front died in battle, they immediately rushed up!
All the allies who surrounded Bi'an were killed by Bi'an's "Dragon and Tiger Attack", but the "siege" state still needed five seconds to be lifted. If they wanted to take off, they would have to wait another three or four seconds! This nearly ten-second time difference was enough for the second group of people to arrive and surround Bi'an again!
From this, we can see how meticulous the design of Fantasy is. Different exquisite tactics can be set for each detail! Of course, if my Thunder Alliance had not fought many bosses in Kunlun Mountain, I am afraid I would not have discovered such details. The attraction of Fantasy is not only the new technology it adopts, but more importantly, it allows you to discover new mysteries in every day of the game!
Just like that, batches of allies fell, and batches of brothers replaced them, but Bi'an was still unable to break free of the entanglement and could only helplessly endure the long-range attacks from all directions. Its HP dropped sharply. Even if the A-level Boss had more blood, it would only be a matter of time before it fell.
However, the power of the Thunder League only lasted so long. With constant consumption, more than 2,000 members soon died. At this time, I issued another broadcast: Players, please pay attention. You should have seen that as long as we cooperate properly, the A-level Boss is not difficult to deal with. However, our alliance has limited personnel and cannot continue to fight. The rest will be up to you! In order to avoid chaos, the remaining members of the Thunder League will organize all players into groups, with 100 people in each group, led by a member of the Thunder League, and take turns to complete the siege of Bi'an. I believe that at this moment in Pojun City, there are only warriors who are not afraid of sacrifice, and no cowards who are afraid of death! Victory will definitely belong to us!
After the broadcast, I looked around. Sure enough, everyone's face was full of excitement, and no one raised any objections! You know, the current tactics are actually to let everyone take turns to die, and unlike when defending the City Hall, now it is planned and organized to order people to die! But hundreds of thousands of people actually accepted the arrangement with pleasure. Even when a member of the Thunder Alliance explained to the players he led: "We are Group 1, we will go first later", many players rushed to sign up and rushed to exchange positions with the first group! This was absolutely incredible at the beginning of the siege!
I couldn't help but be shocked. This battle seemed to have cleansed people's souls. At the beginning, it exposed the ugly side of human beings such as selfishness, greed, and cannibalism. But in the end, it showed the glorious side of human beings such as bravery, wisdom, fearlessness, and unity. Are we just playing a game?
After a moment of distraction, I put my mind back on the battlefield. Without a doubt, the players performed better than I thought! I was originally worried that these players were not used to this kind of coordinated combat. What if they didn't move in unison and made the encirclement appear flawed? If they failed to form a siege and let the Bi'an fly, it would be a big effort again! For this reason, I specially reserved a team of 100 people composed of pure members of the Thunder Alliance to prevent accidents. But now it seems that it is useless. All the players cooperated with the command of the alliance members very much. The members who were ready to go into battle stood in the designated positions and never left their posts. When it was time to go into battle, the team leader (the leader of the Thunder Alliance) gave an order, and everyone rushed to Bi'an with all their strength. No one retreated in the face of the battle. Bi'an was always trapped in that small place. Moreover, due to the continuous casting of large-scale attack spells, even Bi'an, the ninth son of the dragon, showed fatigue. Gradually, it used more physical attacks. It took a while to release a spell. Obviously, it was short of MP! In this way, the rate of casualties on our side was greatly reduced, and morale was greatly boosted!
There is nothing much to say about the following battles. The only thing that surprised me was that Bi'an managed to hold out for nearly half an hour before falling into a seriously injured state under the attack of tens of thousands of people. The amount of HP was really shocking. Bi'an was crazy before dying, and it did fight desperately. However, its attack and defense were already beyond the player's ability limit. No matter how much it was improved, it would still be the same. Those who should be killed instantly would still be killed instantly, and those who should be forced to lose health would still be forced to lose health. It was really meaningless...
Finally, with a wail, the huge body of Bi'an fell to the ground, and gold coins and equipment exploded, covering a large area on the ground. All the players were stunned. They were used to the seemingly endless battles, with teams of people rushing forward to die and archers and mages shooting non-stop. When victory really came, they were at a loss.
Of course, this was only a moment. After a few seconds, cheers broke out all around, and many people rushed up to fight for the money and equipment on the ground. I smiled and looked at the people fighting. This was not greed, but a reward for their heroic fight! At least, I never saw people pulling out their knives to fight each other for a piece of equipment like before!
At 3:42 pm on February 1st, the first year of Fantasy, the Battle of Pojun City, the first monster siege event in Fantasy, ended. In this battle, more than 800,000 players participated, and more than 500,000 were killed. The war ended with human players killing the A-level boss Bi'an and winning the final victory.
