Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Siege of Flesh and Blood
The city in front of me is full of mechanical maze atmosphere is the fifth district, the overall style of the fifth district is brownish, and the buildings look dilapidated, as if they are pasted with pieces of iron sheets, and it looks like the whole city is rusty. But that's just on the outside, the interior is still thriving.
It's just that at this time, in order to deal with the upcoming siege, most of the players have gone offline, leaving only players above level 50 and those who want to mix in the siege rewards.
Xia Chiyu and Reis were among them, both of them were players above level sixty, so they were released immediately after hearing that they were willing to join the siege war, and no one cared about their identities.
However, the terrain of the fifth area is not very good, just backed by the mountains of Ridge, but once the monster attacks the city, it will form an unfavorable situation of siege on three sides, and it can only rely on the player's play and the defense measures in the city.
At present, there are more than 400 players above level 50 participating in siege battles, players above level 60 are distributed on the front line, and the remaining level 50 players are partly arranged in defensive equipment such as arrow towers on the city wall, and the rest are divided into several teams to patrol around the city to deal with the possible monster invasion at any time.
"It's coming." Xia Chiyu looked at the red tide approaching in the distance and whispered, then turned to Reis and instructed, "Remember, let's leave here as soon as we finish the siege battle." But before that, let's find a way to help through this siege. When special circumstances arise, ignore the orders of the battlefield commander and do as I say. ”
"Understood." Reis nodded, and raised his shield to the front of the line.
The red tide was rapidly approaching from three directions, and the battlefield commander was also conveying orders from one of the princes of the Fifth District in various places. Of course, the first guild in District 5 is the Falling Moon Guild.
That is, Yue Xinghua's guild that he had encountered before when he was in the Forest of Magic. Xia Chiyu had a little holiday with them, and it was actually a very dangerous act to appear here, but the reward of the siege battle was still worth the risk they had, after all, he was already level sixty-five, in case he was discovered by the other party. He still had a chance to escape.
What's more, in the chaos of siege warfare, it was impossible for them to notice him among hundreds of people.
Finally, the red tide was about to enter the ranged attack range under the city walls, and the battlefield commander immediately gave the order: "Prepare for the attack at a distance!" Fight with all your might! Don't skimp on magic and vindictiveness! How many can be knocked out! ”
"What kind of random command, which idiot is giving the order......" Xia Chiyu frowned and said. The monsters in siege mode are unlimited. It's calculated by time.,Delay until the end of the siege time is victory.,How many monsters are defeated during this period are in vain.,The best way is to block the advance of the monsters.,Delay time as much as possible.。
"Definitely. This order is too stupid, the monsters besieging the city get stronger the further you go, so the first few waves of monsters should try to fight as slowly as possible. "Although the second wave of monsters will be forced to farm after a while, the first wave of monsters can block all the monsters that follow, at least until the fourth wave of monsters." If they fight like this, it will be very suspenseful. ”
The monster spawn rule for Monster Siege is if the current wave of monsters is cleared. Then refresh the second wave of monsters directly.,And if the first wave of monsters hasn't been wiped out.,After a while, the second wave of monsters will still be refreshed and the first wave will be superimposed.。 Although the second scenario will cause a large area of monsters in the vast field of vision. But it's actually safer.
As Lacey said, the monsters in front will block the monsters behind, unless it is in the fourth wave of monsters, and powerful bosses and boss-level monsters begin to appear, and the monsters will not be able to swarm before that.
"Forget it, just follow their fight. The most important thing in siege mode is to listen to the command, whether the commander is right or not. Otherwise, it will not be good for one person to mess up the pace of everyone. Xia Chiyu replied, "Later, you will directly intercept the elite monsters." ”
Lacey nodded. Immediately, the battlefield commander began to shout: "Ready! Get ready! Twenty yards more! Ten yards ...... Five yards! Get ready! Now, start attacking! ”
All kinds of light flashed, and a large area of magic, arrows, and sword qi suddenly flew out of the city wall, and fireballs, ice rain, and thunder flew down in the air, and everyone's skills beckoned to the flesh puppets below one after another. The scene is so spectacular that even the most flashy fantasy movie can't compare to this siege picture, and the flesh and blood puppets below are a lot less than that.
Xia Chiyu held his staff high, the sky was covered with dark clouds, circling to form a large whirlpool, several thunderbolts were staggered and entwined in the dark clouds, and then the thick thunder pillars began to fall from the dark clouds.
But Xia Chiyu's spell was not to attack the flesh puppet at the front, but to attack the middle part. I saw those thunderous and manic scattering and smashing, and the flesh puppets entered a paralyzed state after being struck by lightning, unable to move, tripping the flesh puppets behind them. At this moment, a large piece of flesh and blood puppets suddenly fell and trampled in the middle, and the team was in chaos.
The entire army of flesh and blood puppets slowed down a lot as a result, and everyone sighed, even though they didn't know who had unleashed the spell. At this time, the battlefield commander continued to shout: "Don't stop, keep attacking!" ”
Players continue to release their skills, the first wave of monsters is always the easiest, after Xia Chiyu disrupted the attack rhythm of the flesh puppet army, the players continued to attack, and the first wave of flesh puppets couldn't even get close to the city wall at all.
Soon, the first wave of monsters was all defeated, and the corpses of hundreds of flesh and blood puppets were scattered under the southern city wall where Xia Chiyu was, and everyone also got a brief respite......
"What, I don't think the siege mode is as difficult as people say." A few players next to Xia Chiyu began to discuss, "Yes, I heard that the rewards of the siege mode are super rich, and I will give several purple outfits!" ”
"If you survive." Xia Chiyu muttered in his heart.
At the end of the road in the distance, a second wave of red shadows appeared, and then the red tide swarmed up again. This time, not only was the number of monsters even higher than the previous wave, but in the shadow of ordinary flesh golems, there were many elite flesh golems with a larger size, and their actions were obviously faster than ordinary flesh golems, and they quickly rushed to the forefront of the team.
"Ready, ready! The second wave of attacks is coming! The battlefield commander commanded. Attack! ”
The second wave of attacks unfolded, and various skills smashed down from the city walls, but this time the effect was obviously not as good as the last time, and the AI of the elite monsters was much higher than that of the ordinary monsters, and they rushed to the forefront. Running fast like a wolf on all fours, and dodging left and right with agility, dodging the player's skills one after another.
In this way, the second wave of monsters was suddenly divided into two groups, and the elite flesh golems rushed to the forefront, and some of the flesh golems behind them were knocked out by the player's skills. The flesh golems in the rear are still approaching.
But the current situation is not optimistic, if you can't solve this group of elite monsters before the subsequent flesh and blood puppets attack, they will be attacked by the flesh and blood puppets behind the city wall, forming a vicious circle, and eventually leading to the collapse.
In the blink of an eye, the elite flesh golems reached the skill blind spot directly below the city wall. Like a spider, it crawls quickly on the city walls. The battlefield commander immediately shouted: "Stand back in range, step forward in close combat, and prepare!" ”
Xia Chiyu retreated with the other remotes, while Reis came to the city wall. Due to the fence of the city wall, they could not see the elite flesh golems climbing under the city walls, but "Knock knock! The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and everyone's expressions were getting more and more nervous. Finally, the figure of the first elite flesh puppet appeared on the city wall.
Only when you look at it up close can you find that this elite flesh puppet is huge. Like an orangutan of more than three meters, its skin melted and only its bright red muscles remained, and red and white mucus kept dripping from its body. It was hideous and terrifying, and many people immediately swallowed their saliva.
No sooner had it landed on the wall than it raised its sharp right claw and leaped towards a mage below.
"This guy is so fast...... Xia Chiyu thought to himself, wielding his staff to summon a vine and pulling out the mage it was targeting, but the elite puppet missed a blow and waved its claws wildly the moment it landed. There was a scream, and four or five players flew into the air. There was chaos on the field.
At the same time, the remaining seven or eight elite puppets also landed on the city wall. One of them directly aimed at Xia Chiyu's neck and opened his mouth to bite it, Xia Chiyu had no time to care about the others, turned on the reaction time and bowed his head forward, dodged from under the flesh puppet, rolled up on the spot, raised his staff and aimed at the flesh puppet and shouted: "Twin stones!" ”
Two stone piers rose from the side of the elite puppet, and formed a semicircle just to bite it, and a muffled sound of "bang" came, and the elite puppet let out a sharp scream, because of inertia, it fell to the ground, and after rolling twice, a carp jumped up from the ground, and its thick upper arms slashed, knocking several swordsmen around it away.
In the blink of an eye, there was chaos on the city walls, with more than a dozen elite golems climbing on three walls, while the ordinary flesh golems below continued to approach. Seeing this, Xia Chiyu nodded to Reis.
"Understood." Reis responded, bounced an elite puppet in front of him, and then put on a charging stance, and directly hit an elite puppet without accumulating power, and flew out of the city wall with it, Xia Chiyu saw the opportunity, stepped on Reis's shoulder and jumped up, came to the elite puppet directly above it, raised his staff and gently poked the elite puppet: "Flame impact!" ”
A blastwave of flames spread rapidly, and the elite golem that had been hit fell downwards like an arrow, slamming to the ground, stirring up a circle of dust. The elite puppet struggled on the ground twice, and got up in front of it, but its health dropped to more than ten percent, and it was obviously no longer good. At this moment, everyone suddenly said: "Yes, there is fall damage!" ”
Although Xia Chiyu and Reis only use a small skill, this city wall is fifty or sixty meters high, and monsters falling from this place have fall damage, and the fall damage is calculated as a percentage, so even small skills can have a miraculous effect.
After defeating this elite puppet, Xia Chiyu released the Wind Walking Technique to himself and floated back to the city wall, and other players followed suit and began to knock the elite puppets down the city wall, and soon the city wall was stabilized again. At this time, the second wave of flesh golems rushed under the city wall, but before they entered the attack corner, players began to continue to suppress their skills.
At this time, the defensive artillery on the city walls also joined the ranks. Since the energy of defensive measures is limited, they must be used in an emergency, such as now. A magic cannonball with a diameter of two or three meters shot out from the tower on the city wall, and hit the flesh puppet below, directly exploding into a shock wave and spreading out, blasting a gap in the monster group of flesh puppets.
"Holy. This cannon has been upgraded to full level eight, right? Do you know that you are going to storm the city and rise temporarily? Xia Chiyu sighed secretly.
With the involvement of artillery, the second wave of monsters was also surviving, with players injured in the fight against elite flesh golems retreating to the second line for treatment, and players with more health continuing to the front line.
"The second wave of monsters is defeated, and there is still an hour and forty minutes to ......," Xia Chiyu looked at the siege time in the upper right corner of the interface and muttered to himself. Then he turned to Reis and said: "In the next wave, the monsters will inevitably go up to the city wall, and if the awesome characters in the fifth district don't appear, they will definitely collapse." Let's see the situation, if they don't play, we'll just retreat to the inner part of the city. ”
"You mean, let them ......" Lacey frowned.
"Not bad. Let them be cannon fodder, we are here to get the reward. Xia Chiyu replied, "It's too unwise to waste your life on defending the city wall, if the city wall can't be defended, you should give up decisively and fight monsters in the city." ”
Failure in a siege is determined when 50% of the town is captured or 90% of the players are killed. After the monster enters the city, it will launch an "invasion" action on large, medium, and small buildings in the city. If the monster entrenched in the building is not killed within a certain period of time, the building will be declared occupied and lose its original effect.
Buildings that were captured during a siege will also be destroyed after the siege is over, and must be rebuilt.
Therefore, when the city wall cannot be defended, the best strategy is to retreat into the city with all the people, and divide a few groups of players with poor strength and low level as bait to run around the city with monsters, and a group of elite people are responsible for attacking those monsters that encroach on the building. This ensures that the damage is kept to a minimum, and at the same time ensures that the city is not occupied too much.
"Why didn't Master Mage come forward to command?" Lacey asked puzzled, "I know such a powerful strategy." ”
"No kidding." Xia Chiyu said. Hammered Reis's chest and laughed: "Have you forgotten that we are the most evil foursome? Not to mention that I still have a holiday with the lord here. All in all......"
As he spoke, the third wave of monsters had arrived, and from a distance, they could see an incomparably huge guy in the flesh puppet in the distance, compared with the size of ordinary flesh puppets, this guy was more than ten meters tall. More than twenty meters long, comparable to a mammoth beast. Sharp minions shone with a chill, leading the team forward.
"Boss Monster...... According to the way they are playing. At least the fifth wave of monsters will come out. Xia Chiyu frowned, "Such a big guy should be able to attack the city gate, and someone must be sent to guard the gate." ”
The commander-in-chief here apparently understood this, and a small group of troops was sent from each wall to the gate area there.
At this point, the battlefield commander began to get the players ready to attack again. Seeing this, Xia Chiyu frowned: "It's not a way to go on like this, it's already two waves of weirdness, if you continue to fight like this, you won't be blue when it's the most dangerous in the future." ”
But so far, I can only do what the commander says, and the health and defense of the boss monster are not comparable to ordinary flesh and blood golems. In addition, the third wave of monsters not only has one more boss monster on each side, but also has a lot more elite monsters and ordinary monsters than in the second wave. This time, they directly aimed the magic cannon at the boss monster and shelled it.
However, the health of the boss monster is really too high, and there is a boss monster at each wall, and when the boss monster arrives at the city gate, there is still about half of the health left, and the elite monsters are also climbing up the city wall.
"It's not good." Xia Chiyu said to himself, there were only sixty or seventy players placed on each city wall, and at the same time, half of them were divided to defend the city wall below, and the manpower above was obviously insufficient. Lacey used his perfect defense to bounce off an elite monster's attack, then raised his foot and kicked it off the wall, turned to Xia Chiyu and asked, "Master Mage, should I go down to support?" ”
"No, it's going to collapse right away." Xia Chiyu said, raised his hand to stretch out the spiritual force field and shook an elite monster back a little, then lowered his head to dodge one of the claws of the elite monster, went around its back, and stabbed it in the side of its knee with his sword raised.
The elite monster suddenly stumbled forward, and Xia Chiyu immediately swung his staff to summon a thick vine and threw it down. Xia Chiyu continued: "If those guys don't make a move, they will be wiped out here." ”
Xia Chiyu also knew that it was not that those high-level players did not make a move, but that they wanted to wait until the fourth wave of monsters to make a move, so that they could rely on their group of high-level players to get through the last and most difficult time of the siege mode.
But just as Xia Chiyu guessed, although they had him and Reis on their side, they could barely support it, but this time the number of elite monsters had skyrocketed several times, and the situation on the other city walls was obviously not good, Xia Chiyu could see that several players were knocked away from time to time, and the situation on the city wall below seemed to be a little dangerous.
At this time, there was a scream from behind Xia Chiyu, a player flew out from above his head and fell straight out of the city wall, Xia Chiyu immediately waved his staff, and a vine flew out to pull the player back, but at the same time, a player on his other side was slapped to the ground by an elite puppet, and another slap swept down from the city wall.
"Collapsed." Xia Chiyu frowned, and the screams of the players also sounded in several other places, and at the same time, the city gate below them let out a mournful roar and collapsed, and the behemoth rushed in from outside the gate and rushed forward on the street.
At the main entrance, several figures flashed and hurried towards several other walls, while a player landed at the gate below them and stopped in front of the boss monster. The knight was a real-name player, eighty-three levels, named Luo Yan.
The knight's medium-sized shield and one-handed sword met the boss monster alone, carefully maneuvering with it, and then saw the opportunity to use the instant defense to prevent one of the boss monsters' claws. Since the instant defense canceled the hard stun, he immediately jumped on the shoulder of the boss monster and swung his sword in the middle of the boss monster's brow, accurately and quickly, in one go.
"Light Slash Sword!" As soon as Luo Yan drank, a ray of light penetrated the head of the boss monster, which was already only less than fifty percent of his health, and this time he attacked to the fatal point, directly beating it into seventeen percent of the residual blood, and was mended by dozens of players at the door.
"It's the lord of the city!" "The Elder has made a move!" The players burst into cheers and morale. This is the president of the Falling Moon Guild of the First Conference of the Five Districts, and the Falling Moon Knight Luo Yan, one of the princes.
"Hold on, if you can't support it, just retreat to the city and leave it to us, the people in the park." Luo Yan said, turned around and flew back to the city wall. Thanks to him, the morale of the players in the city has increased a bit, but the monsters have not reduced the difficulty, and the casualties of the players continue to increase.
When the third wave of monsters has not been cleared, the fourth wave of monsters has finally appeared at the end of the road in the distance.
The players used all their strength, and at the same time, the energy of the magic cannon was also exhausted, and when the fourth wave of monsters arrived under the city walls, there were still two-thirds of the monsters left, and this time, fifty percent of the team was elite monsters, with two boss monsters on each side, and the number of monsters was about twice as large as the first wave, with more than two hundred monsters on each side!
"It's going to perish." Xia Chiyu shook his head and said, looking at the army of flesh and blood puppets that were constantly pressing up below, the players were stunned for a moment and were at a loss on the spot, they also knew that in front of such a number of monsters, even if there were princes like Luo Yan and a group of the Falling Moon Guild, they would not be able to return to the sky, and from the perspective of time, there would be a last wave after this wave.
"There's no way...... Xia Chiyu sighed, dragging Reis and jumping off the city wall, "Let's go, we must find a way to block this wave first, and then solve the problem of the last wave of monsters." ”
"Huh? But how ......" Reis was stunned, and suddenly said: "Could it be ......?"
"Yes, leave it to me anyway, help me buy time." Xia Chiyu replied, released the Fengxing technique to the two of them, and slowly landed at the city gate. Seeing this, the players on the city wall shouted, "What are those two doing!?" Crazy! ”
"The ...... of the End Seraph. Xia Chiyu knocked his staff on the ground and summoned the back of the Seraph.
Reis stood in front of Xia Chiyu, proudly raised his shield and said, "How long will it take Master Mage?" ”
"A minute." Xia Chiyu replied, raised his staff with the angel, and began to condense the elements.
"No problem, don't worry about condensing the elements, don't interrupt." Lacey laughed, his metal wings spreading out from behind him, and he shifted the light from both wings to the shield in his left hand: "Guardian of the World......" (To be continued)
