Chapter 664: Occupation
When the players of the Huashan Army scattered around looking for treasure, Ye Fei reminded: "Don't go looking for treasure first, quickly distribute equipment and prepare for battle, this secret realm is not over yet." β
Some players who were already looking for treasure chests were stunned: "The secret realm is not over yet, why?" Didn't the boss get killed? β
"I received a system prompt that we need to fend off the monster attack in the next 24 hours, and this Death Kend Town is ours. Therefore, those who want to find treasure chests will look for them when they have captured the town, and now they will all come back and gather, and those who don't need to distribute equipment will go to the town gate with me. β
The undead are attacking Deathtown, and as long as they win, Deathstroke Town can be theirs? The news made these players feel excited, and it was better to own a town than to squeeze into that makeshift camp.
There is no doubt about the discipline of the Huashan Army, and there may be some guys who are hanging out in some ordinary players. But they are all elite and official members of a legion, and they are the elite in the entire guild, and such players are basically still very obedient to orders, otherwise they would have been fired a long time ago. So Ye Fei said, and everyone, including Xue Ye Weiyang, withdrew one after another to gather. Except for half of the people who needed equipment to stay in the hall, everyone else followed him out of the castle.
Outside the castle, there are no undead NPCs in the streets of Deathknell, perhaps because their lord retreated to the Bone Barrier, and they retreated with them. The whole street looks a little dilapidated, with some undead rats, scavenging birds, and more roaming around.
When Ye Fei walked to the city wall, he saw that the undead outside the city were gradually gathering, and the system showed that they would attack in thirty minutes!
One player wondered, "Boss Hidden Bow, this lord has withdrawn from Deathknell Town, which means that this place has been abandoned, so why do these undead still want to occupy this town?"
Ye Fei speculated: "Maybe these undead are just some ordinary undead, belonging to the kind of homeless vagabonds, not belonging to the undead army of Nickles, so Nicklers retreated, and this Death Knell Town became an abandoned town, and they wanted to take it back." And we, because we temporarily occupy the town, will inevitably have conflicts with them, and only by defeating them can we truly own this town. β
"It's also possible that the undead army, they are not willing to let this town be taken by us, so they sent an army to take it back."
"Of course, it's also possible."
The players who were waiting in the hall to be assigned equipment came back one after another, and by the time the undead monsters on the opposite side were ready to attack, everyone had basically gathered. Ye Fei said: "Everyone has been fighting for a day and a night, and they should be very tired. If necessary, you can take turns to go down and take a break, especially if you are using a virtual helmet, go and rest, and come up again in a few hours, I think the opponent's attack should not be too strong at the beginning. β
Everyone did not shirk, and went offline one after another, and more than 100 players left at once. Other people also want to go offline, but seeing that so many people have been offline, they are forced to endure it.
After the half-hour countdown was over, the battle began, and more than a hundred undead in the army of the undead on the opposite side quickly charged towards this side, including cavalry and archers. Without Ye Fei's command, when these guys rushed over, the long-range players on the city wall began to attack, Ye Fei was about to give the order to let the melee rush out, but unexpectedly, a player who was killed by the opponent's archers had already exclaimed: "Boss Hidden Bow, I can't be resurrected after I die." β
"What do you mean that you can't be resurrected?" Ye Fei was taken aback, how could this happen?
The player said, "I can't release souls. β
A light arcane mage shouted, "As soon as the other party attacked me, I entered the battle, and I can't use the resurrection technique." β
The rest of the healers also said that even if they didn't make any moves, they were already in the battle at the same time as the battle began.
"What about the Life Mage, can you resurrect with battle?"
"Yes, do you want to resurrect him?" Several Life Arcane Mages nodded and said.
Ye Fei groaned: "No need for the time being, everyone be careful, or use the previous method, the meat shield is blocked in front, and the long-range attack is in the gap between the meat shields to attack, damn!" β
Before Ye Fei finished speaking, he saw several undead below suddenly jump high, some landed on the city wall and attacked the players around him, while others flew over the city wall and fell to the ground, rushing towards the city gate.
"Damn, you can't let them open the gates. T grabbed the undead on the city wall, broke the army and followed me down, and gathered the monsters in the city. β
Ye Fei and Po Jun jumped down, one by one attacking the two undead, but who knows, although the two undead were attacked, they did not stop, but continued to walk towards the city gate.
"Damn, monsters that aren't controlled by hatred. Set fire, control! Ye Fei shouted.
The four undead monsters on the city wall have been killed in a mess, in this case, saving life is the most important thing, many players have subconsciously begun to dodge, there is no time to kill those undead monsters, only a small number of players, they fully believe in the treatment in their team, so they do not dodge or dodge, constantly attacking the undead under the city.
A large number of players gathered fire, and finally killed them before they approached the city gates.
Ye Fei had a calm face and said: "Down the two teams of people are responsible for guarding the city gate, if there is a monster coming in, control it as soon as possible and then kill it, if you can't kill it, you have to block it even if you use your body to block it, and you can't let them get close to the city gate." β
Immediately two teams came down, and their task was to take care of these undead monsters.
There are more than 1,000 undead troops outside the city, and now they can use the advantage of the city wall to block it, but if the city gate is opened, these undead army rushes in, and they can't release their souls to run back to life, they will definitely not be able to withstand it. And the first wave of monsters is about 100, what about the second and third waves?
Therefore, as soon as he heard that the dead player could not release the soul, Ye Fei suddenly remembered that this siege battle was different from the ordinary siege battle, this was in the secret realm, more like a copy, and the soul could only be released after the battle was over. And in the usual siege warfare, as long as you die, you can release the soul, how can there be so many restrictions.
Such a siege mode makes everyone full of a sense of crisis.
The first wave of undead monsters was killed, and not many players died. But until the second wave arrives, they still can't release their souls, and everyone is still in a fighting state. The life arcane mages choose to heal, and the meat shield resurrects them. There are only three or four life arcane mages, and the cooldown time of the skill of combat resurrection is ten minutes, which is not enough at all.
The second wave of undead monsters arrived five minutes later, and this time the number was directly doubled compared to the previous one. And the number of jumping ghouls who could jump up from under the walls was also a bit higher, there were two waves of about four or five in each wave.
Whenever the jumping ghoul appeared, the crowd was nervous. Because the ghouls' attack speed is fast enough, although the health is not high, the few ghouls on the city wall will cause a lot of confusion and damage to the player. In particular, their casual and indiscriminate attacks that ignore hatred are even more depressing.
The third and fourth waves are also gradually coming, with about 300 undead monsters coming in the third wave and about 400 in the fourth wave.
With the advantage of the city wall, and controlled the ghouls to prevent them from opening the city gate, they finally survived the first three waves of monsters. This time it was a little easier than using the city walls to fight the elite guards before, after all, as long as the ghouls were not allowed to open the city gates, the undead below would not be able to come up, and they could only rely on long-range attacks.
However, after the third wave, Ye Fei and the others only had more than a hundred players left, and at the beginning of the fourth wave, Tianji used his domain technique to resurrect more than one hundred and fifty players, pulling the number back to half, and at the same time causing huge damage to the undead, just like that, they barely defeated the last wave of enemies.
The entire battle lasted for more than half an hour, and after that, Ye Fei and the others received a system prompt that they were able to have two and a half hours of rest.
"Two and a half hours, that's good." Ye Fei breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "According to this opinion, this siege frequency should be once every three hours." β
Chen Hao said: "Then we are going to withstand eight attacks? Tsk, it's a good thing, the interval between each siege battle can almost fully restore your energy level, right? β
Ye Fei nodded and said, "They can basically recover, I'm still a little worse, but it's all about the same." β
Now, the domain skills of several god players have become their biggest reliance, and without god skills, it is impossible to achieve the final victory.
"I just don't know how the Divine Domain and the Wind Dance are doing." The King of the Seven Nights said.
Ye Fei and Chen Hao were silent for a moment, and shook their heads at the same time, they were not optimistic about them in the Divine Domain, in the absence of god players, even if they had a few masters who were not weak, they would not be able to save such a situation, it would be good to be able to withstand a few attacks from the undead lord, if they want to hold the next battle to defend the city, hang!
In the following time, the difficulty of defending the city did not increase much, but because Ye Fei and his personnel were not even, the battle was extremely difficult.
When the last wave of monsters is killed, a boss appears, a necromancer, who constantly resurrects the undead who have been killed in battle and puts them into battle. However, necromancers are powerful and equally vulnerable, and before becoming lichs, such necromancers were simply β waste. Except for controlling a large number of resurrected undead and causing some damage to Ye Fei and them, he didn't dare to come forward at all.
Seeing that the battle didn't know how long it would last, Ye Fei simply led people to rush down. They bypassed the resurrected undead and handed them over to other ordinary players, while he, Broken Army and the others confronted the necromancer, turned on the domain skills, and beat the necromancer indiscriminately, and finally killed him.
At the end of the battle, the boss did not drop any equipment, but the system prompt came as promised: "The Huashan Guild has occupied Deathstroke Town and obtained control of Deathstroke Town." β
Death Knell, that's the reward!
This system prompt was not only heard by Ye Fei, but also by the Huashan players who stayed in the camp of the expeditionary force, and even those players in the surface world and in China City also got the news. However, compared to the excitement of the former, these players are a little dazed, Death Knell Town? What a place is that!
Players outside the town who did not enter the secret realm were all excited when they received the news, and they watched the town in front of them change, the portal-like town gate disappeared, and Ye Fei and them appeared on the city wall.
"Wow, we actually took Deathknell."
"Awesome!"
"Boss, can weβcan we come in?"
"Absolutely." Ye Fei laughed, he had already opened the guild panel just now, this city was no different from the bone-shaving town that they had captured before, but now there were no NPCs here, and of course it was impossible for those undead to stay.
A large number of Huashan players entered Death Knell Town, and Chen Hao and the various legion commanders immediately began to arrange, arranging them to each section of the city wall and leaving people to guard them. Although they had won the previous battle, that didn't mean they could rest easy, and who knows if the undead army would come back?
Ye Fei returned to the expeditionary force camp, the attack here has almost ended, the expeditionary force in Abister City has begun to come back, and a large number of expeditionary forces have entered the camp to help the players here repel the undead army.
The players who guard the camp here are full of spring breeze, whether it is killing mobs, killing bosses or boss-level undead, they are all rewarded very richly.
Ye Fei glanced around here and found Lieutenant Darlow.
"Night Hidden Bow, you guys did a great job, I really didn't expect you to capture Deathknell Town." Lieutenant Darlow greeted Ye Fei after seeing him, "Fortunately, we also brought a large number of companions, you see, our current manpower can hold this camp and expand the scope of the camp, with your help, this will become a stronghold for us." β
Ye Fei took a look, and sure enough, there were already many craftsmen working in the originally small camp, and they had already begun to build all kinds of houses, it seemed that these expeditionary forces were going to be stationed in this place.
Lieutenant Darlow continued, "After we got back and contacted several other expeditionary forces in the main city, they have already started to attack the Bone Barrier, and this is a great opportunity for us to establish a stronghold here and become a base camp for the battle against the undead. β
Ye Fei asked, "But, isn't your mission to find Delet?" Why is it now a battle with the undead? β
"Of course, Delett needs to be searched, but the battle with the undead must continue. We have received word that the expeditionary force of the city of Most has been fighting in the territory of the orcs, and we need to take action to wipe out the enemy. Moreover, because of your outstanding performance, we know that the strength of adventurers cannot be ignored, so we are planning to recruit powerful people to participate in the battle. β
"Adventurers want to participate in battle?" Ye Fei was stunned for a moment, so to speak, entering the abyss is not the prerogative of their Huashan Guild?
Lieutenant Darlow nodded: "I don't need to talk about the characteristics of you adventurers, with you joining the battle, our casualties will be minimized." However, this point is still in the plan, after all, the current adventurer strength is not strong enough, and you are the same, although you have captured Deathstroke Town, but your strength still needs to be improved. β
Ye Fei nodded, knowing that the task of this kind of expansion piece could not be completed by a few guilds. However, he didn't expect other players to intervene in the mission so quickly.
"We've taken at least one town, though." Ye Fei comforted himself in his heart, glanced at it, and suddenly saw a map on the side, he looked at it curiously, and asked, "Lieutenant Darlow, is this the map of the Thousand Shadows Forest?" β
"Yes, that place is the Bone Barrier!" Lieutenant Darlow pointed to the central fortress of the map and said, "It's a place covered by a huge ice field, the Bone Barrier, the residence of the Lich King, and the place where the other expeditionary forces are currently attacking, but the battle is not optimistic, the Lich King's strength is too strong." β
Ye Fei stood on the edge of the map and studied, there were models of towns around the Bone Barrier, there were other towns, in terms of number, there were more than 20 such towns, and their Death Knell Town was on the edge of the Thousand Shadows Forest.
Ye Fei, who was already very satisfied, couldn't help frowning when he saw this town, it's only a town, this is far from enough.
Something had to be done before the adventurer's 'frenzy' entered the abyss.
Ye Fei is quite clear that once the abyss is opened to adventurers, what will happen here, endless adventurers pour here, they don't care whether they will die or not, judging from the information obtained from the players who stayed here to guard the stronghold before, the explosion rate of monsters here is far higher than that of the ground world, of course, except for the secret realm. What can be obtained in the secret realm is not comparable to some equipment, for example, a town?
Ye Fei glanced back at Lieutenant Darlow: "How is the situation in the other two towns?" β
Lieutenant Darlow frowned and said, "The situation is not optimistic, the scouts we sent have reported that the fighting there is very fierce, and your companions may not be able to hold on for long." β
"Oh? Did they defeat the lords there? β
"No, no. Like Nicholus, the lord left the town and returned to the Bone Barrier. In fact, many of the town's lords have already left. β
Ye Fei smiled: "So, what if I plan to attack these towns? β
Lieutenant Darlow looked at him in surprise: "Haven't you already captured a town?" Well, I'm sorry to tell you that we don't allow you to do that, you can go to those towns and loot, but as an adventurer's guild, you've taken a town and need to give the others a chance. The remaining towns will be handed over to the Guilds that are able to take them. β
Ye Fei was helpless, this was really not good news.
Lieutenant Darlow looked at Ye Fei with a disappointed face, and immediately laughed again.
