Under the supervision of the Undead Knight, a dozen or so strong beastman puppets were pulling on the gear lock with all their might. The giant hanging door slowly rose.
"Pa!"
After a crisp sound, the whip left a bloody mark on the thick fur of the beastman puppet.
"Damn you, you lazy glutton!
I should've chopped you into a dozen pieces and thrown you into the soup for breakfast. Work harder, don't think I'm joking! "
The Undead Knight's Undead Horse raised its front hooves and the knight whipped the beastman puppet again. The wet whip split open the beastman puppet's flesh!
It was hard to imagine that a beastman puppet that was six meters tall and could weigh dozens of tons would be so afraid of a three-meter tall undead bug.
In the guild channel, I was informed of the current situation. The four gates of the Scarlet Fortress had been opened, and the first wave of attack was about to be launched. The first wave of attack would be the Silver Cavalry. Who knew which genius commander had actually split the 100 thousand cavalry into four groups, with each group consisting of only 20 thousand people? Could those 20 thousand people withstand the fierce attack of the Scarlet Fortress's garrison?
Obviously not. I had seen the strength of the Silver Cavalry Regiment...
Ding ~!
System Announcement: The battle of the Bloody Fortress has officially begun!
From now on, the Bloody Fortress will send out ten to twenty strong forces. Their target is White Cloud City. If the Silver Cavalry Regiment dies more than 50%, this battle will be a failure.
… …
Fuck!
There's such a thing?
My eyes widened as I rode to the front of the Snow Moon camp. I raised my sword and jumped on my horse, shouting, "Brothers, you heard it. If the NPC army dies, we're done for!
Everyone, go to the front and kill as many Bloody Fortress soldiers as you can. Buy White Cloud City a chance to breathe! "
The tens of thousands of players on Snow Moon slowly moved forward like a tide. But here, Snow Moon was only a small part of the army. Just the eastern gate alone had gathered almost two million White Cloud City players. The number of players on Snow Moon was less than 10% of the total!
I returned to Ling Yue and Ling Xue and said, "I'll leave the command of Snow Moon to you, Ling Yue. I'm going to check the other four gates. If the players don't work hard, I'm afraid the first wave will be enough to defeat White Cloud City. We can't bear the consequences of such a defeat!"
Ling Yue pursed her lips into a smile. "Damn, the battle has just started and you're already running away?
Then... Alright, I will take the command flag and lead Snow Moon. Be careful. Don't die. Leveling is so hard these days. Even losing a level would be a shame … "
"Mn, I got it."
Then, I said to Chrysanthemum Daohana in my arms, "Xiangxiang, stay here and help Sister Qin Yun and the others, okay?"
"Mn!"
Chrysanthemum Daohana jumped off her horse and walked to Ling Xue's side. Ling Yue and Qin Yun also got off their horses. The warriors had to Charge while the mages and priests had to deal damage from the back. They couldn't stick together anymore.
As for me, I spurred my mount forward and charged to the forefront of the player camp. Like a ball of fire, I cut through the front line and shouted, "Friends of White Cloud City, let's charge to the frontlines! Don't let the NPCs fight the monsters! Their warriors can't revive once they die! Now is the time for us to shed our blood for White Cloud City and the China server! Charge!
The experience and money are all inside Bloody Fortress. Kill them all and take all the treasures inside! "
Of course, I didn't know if there were any treasures inside Bloody Fortress or not.
Every player who played the game dreamed of treasure. To them, treasure was nothing more than equipment or beautiful women. In any case, they were all things that men needed. Young people's dreams were so pure, I wouldn't easily break their dreams. This was a very cruel thing to do. It was like telling middle-aged women that Zhao Zhongxiang's hair was fake, or telling old Red Army men that they would never be able to realize their dreams because of the drug.
After my encouragement, a large number of hot-blooded youths in White Cloud City pulled out their swords and started their journey. True warriors dared to face the bloody battles of life and death. They dared to look down into the endless abyss. They dared to go against the loyal Town Security. They dared to kiss the salivating dinosaurs. Compared to dinosaurs, these monsters of the Bloody Fortress were nothing!
However, it took me a full five minutes to reach the end of the eastern wall. When I reached the southern wall, I was surprised to see Solitary Grave, Hellfire, Heavenly Fire, and a bunch of other people standing there. He looked at me with disdain and said, "Scholar, you're a smart person, but it's rare for you to be confused for a moment …"
The next moment, Solitary Grave spent 5000 RMB to send a system announcement. The content was exactly the same as what I had just said.
Then, uncle Solitary Grave looked at me smugly and pointed his spear to the front. He said with a smile, "Do you see that?
The cannon fodder army has set out, and the blood of White Cloud City's players is boiling, haha … "
I shot him a glance and said, "I'm just trying to save money …"
Uncle Solitary Grave almost coughed up a mouthful of blood, but he quickly said, "Soul Battle Robes' Battle Soul Proud Heaven has already discussed with me. They're responsible for the assault on the western wall. Snow Moon is on the east, Fleeting Time is on the south, and Rain Admiration Pavilion, Wishing Pond, and The Brotherhood are on the north. They're leading a few hundred smaller guilds. We can finally relax now!"
I frowned. "Hmm?
The Brotherhood?
Aren't they at Cool Breeze City? "
"They teleported here a long time ago!"
Solitary Grave smiled. "She's cute and easy to push. She's such a good girl. The moment she learned that White Cloud City was going to war, she immediately brought her entire family, almost two hundred thousand players, and all the subguilds. She's definitely contributing a lot to White Cloud City!"
I praised from the bottom of my heart, "Yeah, she's such a good girl!"
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Solitary Grave glared at me. "Do you want me to treat you to a meal?"
I smiled and said sincerely, "I compared the strength of the four gates. Snow Moon has Ling Xue, Ling Yue, Bing Cha, Chrysanthemum Daohana, Dragon Soul, Ghost Flame, and more powerful DPSers. Soul Battle Robes has Seven-star Lamp, Little Butterfly, Shadow Follower, and a bunch of high-level players from Battle Soul. The Brotherhood is more than enough to deal with the north gate, so this one is the weakest …"
I waved my sword and said with a smile, "That's why I've decided to stay and help. It looks like you really do need to treat me to a meal, Uncle Solitary Grave …"
Solitary Grave didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Have some confidence in me, Fleeting Time?"
"Alright, I'm going back to Snow Moon. If you can't hold on, send me a message!"
Hellfire raised his sword and laughed brightly. "Don't worry, there's no way we can't hold on until the tenth wave. Let's talk about it after the tenth wave!"
I nodded, but I was worried. The tenth wave?
Are you kidding me? I don't even know if Snow Moon can hold on until the tenth wave. I don't have the time to save you...
Who cares, I'll think about it after I leave. Ling Yue and Bing Cha still have two Affection Skills I haven't used yet. Maybe I can even level up after I lose them!
So I urged my horse back to the Snow Moon camp!
At this time, all the beastman puppets had finally hung up the iron gate. The inside was filled with black smoke, and it was hard to see what was inside.
A group of Snow Moon's melee players brandished their weapons as they stared at the gate. What would the first wave of monsters be?
Would there be a surprise for us?
At this time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and a huge shadow rushed out. It was an Undead Knight, a Level 195 Ghost Rank Boss. It came to the periphery, pulled on the reins, raised its spear, and let out a low roar that sounded like it came from hell — —
"Brave warriors who yearn for the darkness, depart!
Destroy all invading enemies and devour the flesh and blood of humans. Let all the hypocrisy and justice go to hell! "
… …
Rustle rustle rustle rustle...
There was a series of orderly breaking sounds, and an entire army of white skeletons charged out. They were all Level 190 elite skeleton soldiers, and they held rusty swords in their right hands and iron shields with many holes in their left. They hissed as if they were provoking the White Cloud City players in front of them!
Heh, if I'm not mistaken, this was the lowest rank of the Army of Darkness, skeleton warriors. They could be considered cannon fodder in the truest sense of the word. However, the experience they gave was very rich, and it was the most attractive. After all, not all the players who came here were kind people. They came here hoping to get some benefits. Otherwise, who would come to a place where even birds wouldn't shit?
It was obvious that the Level 195 Undead Knight boss that came out first was the boss of this wave. Right now, this boss was at the back of the team, and it looked like he was supervising the battle. He didn't plan to attack first.
There were a lot of skeleton warriors, and they surged over like a tide, drowning the city gate area and a large patch of red soil. Their rusty swords danced in the air, giving me the false impression that their morale was high.
Ling Xue and Bing Cha arrived next to me. She smiled softly and said, "Get ready!"
"Mn, let's form a party first!"
At this time, we were just a team of Xue Yue workshop members. This way, all the experience would belong to us, and the girls were all heavenly beauties. I couldn't bear to push them away. As the saying goes, one should not let one's own fertile water flow into one's own field. This was an eternal saying that could not be violated.
I raised my sword and shouted, "Let's just think of it as a party to kill mobs and level up! Charge!"
"Kill!"
The frontline warriors swung their swords and charged the skeletons in front of them with bloodshot eyes. They didn't seem to think of the skeletons as monsters, but as enemies who had stolen their wives. They attacked fiercely, and even the Level 100 noob warriors didn't hesitate to fight on the frontline.
Of course, the enemies were Level 190 elites, and there was a difference of 90 levels between them. These low-level players who overestimated themselves were quickly sent back to the city by the skeletons' iron swords — if cutting them into pieces could be considered a gentle method.
My speed naturally didn't lose to the warriors riding wild boars, donkeys, and blind warhorses. Therefore, I was the glorious first player to come into contact with the sea of skeletons. Ling Xue was the second, and then Snow Moon's elite players such as Dragon Soul, Xing Tian, Spring And Autumn Dance and other players with ancient equipment sets were on the frontline. They had both Attack and Defense, and their laser swords were very effective against the skeletons!
As a result, the Snow Moon Alliance and its subguilds, Eternal and World, occupied nearly half of the eastern wall's frontline with a measly 100,000 players. In other words, Snow Moon would earn half of the experience they lost when the mobs died!
It wasn't that we were greedy, but reality proved that Snow Moon's teams had a reasonable class composition and first-rate players. As long as there were Snow Moon players, they would be able to hold their ground. As for the other White Cloud City guilds such as Nocturne of Death and Apocalypse Army, their frontline players weren't even Level 150. If it wasn't for the fact that Snow Moon's backline players were covering for them, they would've been drowned by the mobs in the first round!
After I was successfully surrounded by a group of ferocious skeleton soldiers, I was having a great time killing them. I threw Divine Dragon Slash everywhere I went, cutting the skeletons until they wanted to die. At the same time, I raised my hand and summoned Ling Er into the depths of the sea of mobs. I gave her a Meteor Storm.
Ling Er, the beautiful warrior who broke out of the encirclement, immediately raised her Phantom Spirit Sword and danced elegantly in front of her chest. Complex magic runes appeared one after another as energy surged around her. Scorching meteors fell from the sky and smashed into the skeletons' heads, causing damage numbers like forty thousand, fifty thousand, sixty thousand. In the blink of an eye, a large area of skeletons had been cleared out and countless experience flew toward our powerful party.
Ling Xue charged into the mob. She didn't need to worry too much about this wave of mobs. Surrounded by skeleton soldiers, Ling Xue unleashed a Phoenix Dances at Nine Heavens and cleaved a skeleton's skeleton in half. Then, she unleashed four beams of sword energy that flew in all directions. The blue sword energy was like a cutting machine that whittled away at the mobs' HP. Her damage wasn't inferior to mine in the slightest!
However, the strongest part of our party wasn't the players, but the pets!
The Wind Spirit Beast's Tempest, Ling Er's Meteor Storm, the Dragon Turtle's Ice Whirlpool, and the Dark Dragon's Dragon Breath were all very powerful. The dazzling skills and magic caused the surrounding players to stare at us with wide eyes. "Even pets are so powerful. How can we live …"
… …
In less than an hour, even the sea of skeletons had been wiped out by us. The final boss of the first wave, the Level 195 Undead Knight, finally raised its reins and charged toward us. It looked like a mighty general!
But in the next moment, Ling Xue charged forward and sealed it in ice. Bing Cha and I also surrounded it. In 45 seconds of Dragon Bind, we had cut down almost a quarter of the boss. This kind of damage made the surrounding White Cloud City players sigh in admiration. Snow Moon was too OP. It was impossible to reach.
The Snow Feather Pegasus, the Blaze Warhorse, and the White Tiger Soul surrounded the undead knight boss like a flower lantern. It was like three heroes versus Lu Bu, and the pitiful undead knight looked like a wronged wife. Before it could even show its might, it was cut down and killed by our swords!
"Crash!" Countless gold coins and equipment dropped!
