"Boom!"
"Bang, bang!"
"Da da da da …"
About five kilometers away from the location of Nightless City, it was a joint team formed by the September Guild and the Nine Star Guild, the two major "old Star Force."
At this time, the battle with the Terminators had fallen into a tug-of-war.
At the back of the Terminator army, another giant Mechanical Octopus X-999 was also stationed in a lake dug out from the river.
Under the all-out attack of the players of the two major guilds, it had indeed been beaten until it was riddled with wounds. On its huge body, there were all kinds of holes and bullet holes.
Even the "Furnace of Destruction" at the top had several holes blown up by the miniature missiles launched by the mechs. The red metal "magma" that flowed out of it was like a waterfall on the surface, falling onto the surface of the lake, causing the entire lake to boil and a large amount of white fog to rush out.
However, although it looked like the damage was not light.
However, the giant Mechanical Octopus was still swaying and did not fall. More than a dozen turrets on it kept shooting "metal magma bullets" at the place where the players of the two major guilds and their affiliated guilds were gathered.
“-20393！”
"-3000, -3000, -3000 …"
Accompanied by high damage values, there was a continuous stream of white light.
The reason was that through the white fog on the surface of the lake, one could see the damage caused by the players' attacks.
Mechanical squids climbed up one after another, and their flexible tentacles emitted blue rays of light as they quickly carried out repairs.
Even the high-temperature liquid metal that flowed out of the holes on the surface of the Furnace of Destruction was quickly cooled under the illumination of the blue light, causing the diameter of the holes to shrink rapidly.
"Bzz, bzz, bzz …"
One by one, the extremely flexible and numerous Mechanical Squids that could repair each other caused the attacks of the two major guilds to turn into nothingness.
With a large number of Mechanical Squids cooperating in the battle, this was the complete state of this Level 79 Mechanical Boss codenamed X-999, and it was also the most difficult part of this giant Mechanical Octopus.
Unless it was like Nightless City, where the Mechanical Squids could not repair in time, it could be quickly destroyed.
Otherwise, as long as there was not enough firepower to focus fire on it and "kill" it.
Then it could continuously repair itself, and the casualties caused would increase several times.
"Attack, attack!"
Clang!
The middle-aged president of the September Guild, who was wearing a dragon-patterned golden armor and was once the "King" of the Nine Star City on the Old Heavenly Star, waved the legendary "King's Sword" in his hand and slashed the neck of a T-850 Terminator.
"Pa!"
At the same time he chopped off the metallic skeleton's head that was flashing with red light, his Legendary Grade combat boots that were also golden in color heavily kicked the T-850's chest.
After kicking the T-850 seven to eight meters away, he raised the Gold Legendary shield in his other hand to block the pile of debris that flew out from the T-850's self-destruction, whose eyes flickered with a red light rapidly in the next moment.
Clang!
At the place where the fragments of the T-850 self-destruct flew the farthest.
Sword Ki Long River swung his cyan Epic-ranked longsword as if he had a premonition, blocking the "hidden weapon" that shot at him from the back from more than fifty meters away!
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …"
Then, the tip of the sword pointed at a certain place in front of him.
Nine long swords that were as thin as cicada's wings hovered in the sky, shrouded in sharp Force fluctuations, and shot out like cannonballs.
They cut a T-950 that was charging at the president of the September Guild, who was also a "mentally retarded" young man in the dragon-patterned golden armor, into more than a dozen pieces.
"Pa!"
The signature character of the September Guild, "Sirius," squinted his eyes and nocked an arrow.
A specially-made arrow containing a compressed energy crystal bomb flew into the sky with a black afterimage and a sonic boom, directly blasting a K-550 that was trying to sneak attack the president of the September Guild from the sky into a pile of fireworks.
It had to be said that this was a team with the core combat power of two super guilds.
Coupled with the courage and ruthlessness that they had trained in the harsh environment of the Old Heavenly Star.
Even in such a disadvantageous situation, the formation of the two super guilds did not show the slightest sign of disorder.
Although it was difficult to deal with the giant mechanical octopus boss, they had already figured out a way to deal with the lower-level K-550s, D-600, and even Z-990.
However, in this team …
Not everyone was at the core level of a super guild, and not everyone was an experienced veteran of the Old Heavenly Star!
"Whoosh!"
An energy tornado blew, barely blowing the flames of a Terminator unit that was holding a flamethrower in its hand.
Sha Lang, who was next to it, raised the Legendary Grade sniper rifle in his hand and shot the source of the flamethrower. The Terminator was covered in flames and finally self-destructed.
Lu Chen's origin power was almost exhausted. His energy robes were covered in mud and dust, and the sweat on his forehead had almost covered his eyes.
At that moment, there was no trace of the coolness and confidence of the ID "Dark Night Stars."
"Phew … I have to, I have to end this quickly."
Lu Chen injected a recovery potion into his arm and spoke while panting under the protection of the last Heavy Armor Warrior left in the Lu Conglomerate City.
"Faction war … Why would a full-scale faction war break out at this time!"
After receiving the message from Nightless City that was deciphered by the garbled code, the higher-ups of Lu Conglomerate City became very anxious.
Unlike Nightless City, which was located in the desert, Lu Conglomerate City was located at the border. Moreover, it was the closest border city to Silvermoon City, which was now the main frontline city of the rebel army camp.
Now, the two camps were in a full-scale war at all costs, and the rebel army had made the first move.
One could imagine what kind of situation Lu Conglomerate City was in now.
"They should be able to hold on until we get out …"
In the Lu Conglomerate City team with only seven people left, Brother Ling, who had survived until now because of his identity as a higher-up, tried to ease the atmosphere.
However, this sentence only made everyone's faces look even worse.
Half of the higher-ups of Lu Conglomerate City were trapped here, and all the Force players were trapped in the arena. The situation could not be any worse.
"Beep, beep, beep …"
At that moment, a ring on Lu Chen's finger suddenly jumped a few times in a regular rhythm.
This was a Legendary Grade ring that was similar to the pair of "Lucky Rings" that Feng Luo had gotten from Jack of Spades, which was said to be able to sense each other.
However, the color of the ring was pure black, and Lu Chen only wore one on his hand.
"Heh, the Nightless City team has already defeated the Boss, and it was done by Feng Zhi Luoye."
Lu Chen closed his eyes and carefully felt the beating of the ring on his finger. After more than ten seconds, his eyes became very complicated.
"The people from Nightless City have already dealt with the obstacles, but the people from the September Guild are blocked here, unable to advance or retreat. What's even funnier is that they actually threatened us that if we were to die and retreat by force, they would not send troops to help us after the competition. "
When he said this, his tone was obviously a little angry.
Participating players were indeed not allowed to leave the game capsule. Even after death, because of the mental link, if they forcefully left the game, their character would be damaged.
However, for them, it was completely possible to completely quit the game and command in the outside world. It was better than staying in this arena and worrying.
"President … we must obtain the support of the September Guild. Otherwise, if the city is really already …"
Standing beside him was the person that Feng Luo had met during the Lu Conglomerate's city-building mission.
The mature female Fire Manipulator, who was probably from the military, had the badge of the vice president of the Lu Conglomerate City on her chest. She hurriedly reminded Lu Chen.
As the main city of the Federation's military, Storm City was definitely the safest city.
The headquarters of the September Guild was not worried about being threatened. Although they had invested in the Lu Conglomerate City, in comparison, obtaining the first place and obtaining the qualification to "build a nation" was obviously more important.
Of course, the most important thing was that all of them actually knew in their hearts.
With the fighting style of the rebel army, it was actually very likely that the Lu Conglomerate City had already fallen. If they really forced themselves to leave at this time and lost the support of the September Guild, it might really be hopeless.
"Heh, back then, maybe I shouldn't have chosen the September Guild and caused Nightless City to leave."
The corner of Lu Chen's mouth twitched with a hint of mockery.
It was not known whether he was mocking himself or mocking the people of the September Guild.
"This is not your fault. After all, no one would have thought that Nightless City would develop to this point."
The mature female Fire Manipulator comforted Lu Chen. Looking at his handsome face covered in mud, there was a hint of heartache hidden in her eyes.
"Right, since Nightless City is so strong and can even defeat the Boss that September and Nine Star couldn't deal with, we can go and seek their help. Presumably, with the big boss's face, they will definitely agree to help us … and, after all … "
Brother Ling's face showed some hope as he said this.
"Nightless City … Maybe …"
As if thinking of something, Lu Chen unconsciously touched the ring on his finger that was inlaid with half of a gem that emitted a colorful light, then slightly shook his head with a slight smile.
Lu Conglomerate City was really a bit miserable. This time, they were behind the September Guild in the competition.
Along the way, they had completely put in effort, but until now, they had not obtained anything.
Not to mention the guild points, even the number one expert in the guild, Sha Lang, had not even reached the top 200 individual points at this time. Instead, it was very likely that their home in the outside world had already been destroyed.
If Lu Conglomerate City was really lost, for him, the loss would be unimaginable.
One had to know that after taking over Lu Conglomerate, he made the decision to sell the real estate and completely shift the company's focus to the game.
Similarly, it was also him who made the decision to let Lu Conglomerate fully provide manpower and equipment to participate in this competition.
One had to know that Lu Conglomerate did not completely belong to the Lu family. The group still had many shareholders, and during the construction process of Lu Conglomerate City, he had even taken a loan.
This meant that if Lu Conglomerate City was really occupied by the rebel army, then the Lu family would lose everything.
Only he, who had already been separated, would not have any losses …
"Unless we can get first place in the guild and get that 'Nation Building' quota …"
The figure of a certain bespectacled person appeared in his mind, and Lu Chen's heart first felt a burst of irritation.
Then, suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
There was no doubt that if he really obtained this "Nation Building" qualification, then even if Lu Conglomerate City fell, there would be countless major forces and consortiums waving star coins to support him to recapture it from the hands of the rebel army.
They would also provide all kinds of things, including epic-grade equipment. Currently, with the qualification of Lu Conglomerate City, things that he could not get would not be a problem at all.
"And surpassing Nightless City … is even less of a problem …"
Lu Chen's eyes stared at the ring on his hand, flashing brightly for a while.
But very quickly, it dimmed again.
"There's no chance …"
This was simply impossible. There were only a few people left in Lu Conglomerate.
Because previously, in order to concentrate the points in the hands of seeded players like Sword Ki Long River and Sirius, the participants of Lu Conglomerate had given up a lot of points.
Among all the guilds in terms of total points, even if they were ranked below 60th place, the chances of getting first place were close to zero.
Most importantly, in a situation where they could not get rid of the Mechanical Octopus Boss, they would probably not be able to pass this stage, not to mention the later stages!
"They retreated! The Terminator Army retreated! "
However, at this time, Brother Ling's somewhat excited voice interrupted Lu Chen's thoughts.
"The people from Nine Stars said that it seems like the other three routes have defeated the Boss and are approaching Mechanical Octopus."
The mature female Fire Manipulator immediately browsed through the information in the high-level command channel.
"So, the Terminators were forced to retreat and transfer their forces back to defend the base!"
Sha Lang, holding a technology-style sniper rifle, shot down a T-850 Terminator that was trying to rush over.
When he turned around to reply, his gaze seemed to be in Lu Chen's direction, but in reality, he could not help but stare at the female Fire Manipulator's face.
However, in the eyes of the female Fire Manipulator, only Lu Chen's handsome face was reflected.
"Retreated? That's great … "
Looking at the Giant Mechanical Octopus Boss that was already retreating in the distance.
Lu Chen's hand moved away from the ring and gripped his Energy Converter, instantly recovering a lot of energy.
At this time, from the sky, it could be seen that not only the Nine Star Guild's side, but also the Boss mechanical units in North City had also retreated.
It was very clear that the Terminators were indeed preparing for the final battle with the participating players near Mechanical Octopus.
