T-rex roared after killing a horde of Corpse Eaters with seven or eight hits. She didn't have any of the restraint that a girl should have.
I didn't think there was any need to be reserved. If I did, the King's City might be lost.
The second wave of Ghouls was instantly killed. The four Dragon Knights of Snow Moon gathered together at the entrance of the valley and started hacking away at the Ghouls. This powerful blockade was like a meat grinder. A large number of Ghouls were piled up at the entrance of the valley, and the equipment that they dropped was also piled up into a small mountain.
Of course, normal mobs could only drop Ghost-grade equipment at most. Immortal-grade equipment had to be some kind of luck in the ass to drop.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye, and we had already stopped the second, third, and fourth waves of mobs. We hadn't lost too many players in Burning Canyon, but a few thousand Yinyao Cavalry had died because they had charged too hard. They were fast, and it only took fifteen minutes for them to reach the valley and continue fighting.
This was a good opportunity to earn guild points. Guild points could be used to exchange for equipment in the encampment's warehouse. These were all substantial rewards. Moreover, having a high guild point ranking was also a kind of glory. You could pat your chest and say to a girl, "I'm in the top 100 guild points in Xue Yue. Girl, come with me!"
This way, the success rate was actually pretty high. As long as we didn't run into people like Ling Xue or Bing Cha, we wouldn't end up with a bloody nose or a swollen face.
Beep!
Hong Lingwu sent me a message: "We've been fighting for more than two hours now, and we've lost almost half of our players at Temple of the Moon. The Wishing Pond is sending troops over, and they have more than two million players. As expected, they can hold out against Soul Battle Robes for a long time!"
I couldn't help but smile. I replied, "Remember to leave some of your guild members alive. Don't run out of people halfway through the battle. If that happens, Soul Battle Robes will be able to take down the Order County with ease!"
"Mn, got it. How's the situation at Snow Moon?"
"Do you even need to ask?
I'm sure you know the situation there … "
"Hehe, what are you talking about?"
I ended the call and laughed self-deprecatingly. Why did I have to be so fake? Actually, every big guild had spies in other guilds, especially in a King-level alliance like Snow Moon. I didn't know how many spies they had hidden in their guilds, so I could only ignore them.
On the other side of the An County, Hong Lingwu, God's Wish, and Seven-star Lamp were engaged in a fierce battle. On the other side of the Snow Moon, they had to deal with a huge monster siege. The situation in White Cloud City had once again undergone some subtle changes.
"Di!"
Solitary Grave sent a message: "I've already sent 20 sub-guilds to the King's Capital as reinforcements. If they still can't hold on, I'll send all of my main forces over!"
I replied, "Thank you, uncle. I can't thank you enough!"
In fact, even guilds like Grand Alliance, Stewed Green Plum Wine, War God Art, Xuan-Yuan Sword, Invincible, and Sword and Rose had come to the King's Capital as reinforcements. It was obvious how powerful Snow Moon's connections in White Cloud City were. On the other hand, the Temple of the Moon was in a much worse state. When Wang Junjie was still in power, the Temple of the Moon's reputation was terrible. Now that the An County was under attack, they didn't even have a single ally. As a result, Hong Lingwu could only run all over the place to ask for help.
… …
While I was thinking, the ground suddenly rumbled and shook.
Xiaoqing let out a neigh, and Ling 'er, who was perched on her wings, also gripped her longsword tightly. She stared into the distance and saw a dense cluster of large dots on the horizon. It wasn't long before we could see them clearly. They were a group of Undead Knights with longbows in their hands!
"Oh, what are they?" Bing Zhiyi asked. "Horse archers?
Or … foot archers? "
I said, "Back in the day, Guan Yu was only a horse archer. The monsters in this fifth wave must be very fierce …"
Ling Xue giggled and leaned against the spikes on the Amethyst Dragon's back. Her skirt armor fluttered in the wind, revealing a pair of snow-white legs. She giggled and said, "Guan Yu is just a legend. Don't take it seriously. The problem is that these monsters in the fifth wave have bows and arrows. We're in danger, and we won't have any aerial advantage."
I nodded and said, "If we can't hold them off, we'll retreat immediately. Don't get tangled up with these monsters. This wave will definitely require the Snow Moon's main force to attack together. We're too few, so we can't defy the heavens."
"Mn!"
The girls nodded their heads in unison. At the same time, the Mounted Archers galloped toward us from a distance. Soon, they entered our field of vision. As expected, it was a group of skilled Undead Horsemen. Fallen Knights Lv-260 Warsong Monsters had powerful stats. Everyone sucked in a deep breath and prepared for battle!
The monster at the front was a vanguard level officer of the Fallen Knights. Before it even got close, it had already taken out its bow and started shooting while on horseback!
Thud!
An iron arrow accurately hit Ling Xue's snow-white thigh. The result enraged the little beauty. She pulled out the iron arrow and charged forward to cut down the vanguard officer with Eternal Ice Blade.
"Go!"
I activated Xiaoqing, and the fierce T-rex immediately flew close to the ground. My Scarlet Heaven Sword glowed with flames, and a giant flaming sword cut across the ground. A burning sword mark appeared in the crowd of Fallen Knights, and a string of damage numbers flew up. Each hit dealt no less than 2 million damage. So powerful!
Ling Xue, Bing Zhiyi, and the other girls also attacked. Unfortunately, the monsters' levels were just too high. Even with Ling Xue's equipment, she could only deal 1.2 million damage. Bing Zhiyi and Fleeting Time could only deal around 700,000 damage per hit. This was already pretty good. I was sure that many of the Snow Moon players behind us wouldn't even be able to break through the Fallen Knights' Defense!
We continued to attack. The Fallen Knights also started firing after they entered our range. The undead archers didn't have any Stun Arrows, but every arrow they fired was imbued with Undead Plague. Once you were hit, you would enter the poison effect and lose 200 HP every second. Luckily, we all had high HP, so we weren't afraid.
Peng peng peng...
The chaotic arrows hit the T-rex's abdomen. Unfortunately, the T-rex's entire body was wrapped in hard dragonscale armor, so the arrows couldn't penetrate it at all. However, the damage they dealt still left me speechless —
“7464！”
“7339！”
“7239！”
I could only deal a few thousand damage each time. This wasn't a big deal, but the arrows were too concentrated. The T-Rex had to endure dozens of arrows every second. In the end, ten arrows dealt tens of thousands of damage, and a hundred arrows dealt hundreds of thousands of damage. The Fallen Knight's attacks were very frequent, and I could see my health decreasing.
If even I was in such a state, the other three girls were even worse off. In less than two minutes, Bing Zhiyi and Fleeting Time were forced to retreat and recover their health. Ling Xue put up a bit of resistance and lasted for five minutes. Then, she said goodbye to me and left. As for me, I was the one with the thickest HP.
As for me, I was the one with the thickest HP. Even though the monsters were dealing over 200k damage per second to me, my total HP was only 17 million. It would take three minutes to empty my HP. However, my Holy Heal had a cooldown of 60 seconds, so I could instantly recover 70% of my HP. This was a balance to a certain extent. Plus, I used Rank 5 Health Potions to recover my HP. Although I couldn't get close to them to use Lifesteal, I could just barely hold on!
And so, Ling Xue and the other two female Dragonriders flew back to the main formation. I stayed at the very front and acted as an iron fortress to deal damage. The most important thing was to deal as much damage as possible to the Fallen Knights. That way, the Snow Moon players at the back wouldn't take too much damage.
T-Rex whistled back and forth as I slaughtered the monsters. It felt like I was invincible. Ling'Er stood beside me and raised her longsword to unleash Meteor Storm. Those scorching meteors rained down on the monster horde like rain, causing the Fallen Knights to lose their souls.
However, the Fallen Knights wouldn't be attracted to a single player. I could only attract the aggro of the monsters within a hundred yards. I could only watch as the dense horde of Fallen Knights flooded into Burning Canyon like a tidal wave. Then, they clashed with the Snow Moon players.
As time went by, Snow Moon's army was at a disadvantage. Not long after, Snow Moon's casualty rate continued to rise. In just half an hour, the Silverlight Cavalrymen had lost over 10,000 players, and every one of them had been sent back to the city to respawn. Fortunately, the monsters did not have a high drop-rate. Otherwise, many Level 254 players would've been reduced to tears, unable to equip Level 255 equipment.
The fifth monster wave was a turning point. Everyone fought for over an hour, and even I had to turn back to help.
The ground was covered in monster corpses, and the Snow Moon players were much sparser.
The Shadow Follower calculated and said, "More than forty percent of the Yinyao Cavalry died in this battle. These monsters are too fierce!"
"And there are too many of them," Spring And Autumn Dance added.
Nangong Yuexi said, "The sixth wave. We might not be able to hold on at all."
I nodded and smiled. "That's fine. Our goal is to use our lives to buy more time to defend. If we kill one more monster here, the pressure on the King's Capital will lessen. Isn't that right, Lexi?"
Nangong Yuexi smiled. "Yes, that's right."
And so, I raised my long sword to boost the morale of the students and shouted, "Students, for the glory of Xue Yue, for the sake of our future, when the sixth wave arrives, we will fight with our lives on the line. We must fight to the last man!"
Everyone raised their weapons and shouted, "Die on the battlefield!"
Of course, there was no need to die on the battlefield. The moment of death was just a little pain.
A few minutes later, the fifth monster wave appeared. A few Dragon Knights cooperated with Chrysanthemum Daohana to kill them, and a few pieces of equipment dropped. All of them went to the national treasury and were handed over to Spring And Autumn Dance for safekeeping. He was in charge of the warehouse of the Snow Moon base, and he was called the Manager of the Property Management Department.
Everyone eagerly awaited the sixth wave of monsters, and when the monsters finally arrived, everyone was stunned. They were all flying-type Multicolored Butterflies. These butterflies were highly venomous, and their Attack Power was extremely high. The reason why they were so high wasn't because their Attack Power was high, but because their attacks could ignore Defense, causing the Silverlight Cavalrymen to fall off their horses one by one.
I rode Xiaoqing and led the charge. I was quickly surrounded by the Five-colored Butterflies. I had to activate my Domain Shield to protect myself. At the same time, I swung my sword wildly. My Scarlet Heaven Sword spat out a long tongue of fire, which dealt extra damage to these butterflies.
Ling Yue also noticed and quickly ordered, "Everyone, use your fire skills. Fire attacks have a 200% damage bonus to these beautiful butterflies!"
Immediately, flames flew. All the mages started using Sea of Fire, Fireball, and other skills. The melee classes were in a bit of an awkward situation. They could only use Flame Slash to set the butterflies on fire.
However, there were just too many butterflies, and they attacked from every angle. The Silver Light Cavalrymen around me fell off their horses one after another, and in the blink of an eye, everyone within half a kilometer of us was covered in butterflies.
At this time, countless flames suddenly surged into the sky. This attack skill was very familiar. It was the twins' Overwhelming Frost and Fire. At this time, it was like a timely rain. Tens of thousands of Five-colored Butterflies gathered around me. It was the best chance to kill them all!
Whoosh!
The rain of fire descended, and my health was almost empty. T-rex was the overlord of the dragon type, but it couldn't block the Five-colored Butterflies' attack at all. As the saying goes, ants can bite an elephant to death. It was very frustrating.
When Overwhelming Frost and Fire landed, the Five-colored Butterfly let out a shrill "Jiji" sound. The damage numbers were extremely shocking. One could imagine the scene of countless damage numbers stacking on top of each other, followed by a white light that shot into the sky. This time, Ling Xue and Ling Yue had definitely earned a lot of EXP from this Affection skill!
When Overwhelming Frost and Fire ended, at least half of the Five-colored Butterflies were killed. Who told them to stick together? They were asking for it!
However, the remaining one-third of the Multicolored Butterflies still caused everyone to panic. The Mages grouped together and bombarded the butterflies with Fireballs, while the Melee players resisted for nearly an hour. Fortunately, most of the Multicolored Butterflies had been killed, and the remaining ones were nothing to be afraid of.
In the blink of an eye, another ten minutes passed. The last Five-colored Butterfly was frozen by Ling Xue. Then, everyone stepped on it, and it broke into pieces.
"Finally, it's over..." Ling Yue took a deep breath.
But at this time, the sound of flapping wings came from the sky!
"Again..." Ling Yue's beautiful face was full of helplessness.
I looked up and found that it wasn't a swarm of Five-colored Butterflies, but a huge Five-colored Butterfly. It was the boss of the sixth wave!
Five-colored Butterfly King LV-261 Demon Domain Boss
… …
Poison, attack with magic damage, this Five-colored Butterfly King was clearly nothing to be afraid of.
I urged T-rex to attack. I had just slashed at the Five-colored Butterfly King, but Xiaoqing took the initiative to attack. She opened her mouth and bit one of the front claws of the Five-colored Butterfly. She swung her head left and right, and the high-level Butterfly King was dragged back and forth without any dignity. It was so painful that it wanted to die.
Everyone rushed forward and attacked. Chrysanthemum Daohana's Sealing Technique took effect immediately. As expected, with Eyes of the Moon, as long as the target wasn't a god rank boss, the success rate wasn't too low.
While we were fighting, I suddenly received a message —
Hong Lingwu: "Scholar, this is bad. Seven-star Lamp has sent people to ambush us through the cracks in the city walls, and the wishing pools have all collapsed. What should we do?"
I felt my scalp go numb. Fuck, this is an unlucky year. Trouble is everywhere!
Soul Battle Robes deserved to be one of the three major powers of White Cloud City. They had plenty of experts, including Seven-star Lamp, The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze, Han Xin, and Yellowed Xuan Paper. It was only natural that the wishing pools failed to stop them.
But what could we do if the wishing pools couldn't stop Soul Battle Robes?
In fact, Snow Moon couldn't stop Twilight Ranger's minions either...
