Although they had successfully killed a boss, the monster army that came out of the teleportation gate was still increasing. Moreover, the speed at which the players killed the monsters could not keep up with the monster reinforcements. Therefore, the players' advantage was gradually weakening until it was completely lost. Finally, they were suppressed by the monsters and defeated.
There were monsters everywhere. The players' resurrection speed could not keep up with the speed at which they died. Many people had just run back to their corpses. As the original gathering point had been destroyed by the monsters, the moment they resurrected, they were instantly torn to pieces by the monsters. They had to report to the graveyard.
This was especially true for the Zephyr Mammoth. With one stomp, the players who had just resurrected would only have 20% of their Health Points. How could they withstand such devastation? They died in large groups.
The defeat was a foregone conclusion.
"What do we do now?" Everyone looked at the endless horde of monsters, especially the hundreds of bosses. Their scalps went numb, and they felt a sense of helplessness.
"We fight as we retreat. Kill as many as we can!" Zhang Yang said. "This can only be done with human lives. We must control the number of monsters until they stop respawning. That's when we blow the horn to counterattack!"
"You make it sound so simple!"
Small monsters were fine. If more than ten people charged at them, they could indeed die together. But what about the boss? The boss of the Zephyr Mammoth was more overpowered than the Magic Cannon. Although the Ruler of Zephyr was a Xuanling boss, its true role was to support. As long as it was beside the Zephyr Mammoth, it would use its sharp claws to kill a small monster every minute. This allowed the boss of the Zephyr Mammoth to recover its Health Points. This made the boss of the Zephyr Mammoth unkillable.
Zhang Yang and the others were really lucky that the Ruler of Zephyr Mammoth had left the main army.
Rumble!
The monster army charged through the Ten Wilderness Sea unstoppably, leaving behind countless corpses along the way. Some belonged to monsters, and some belonged to players.
However, after leaving the Ten Wilderness Sea, this huge army suddenly split into eight and advanced in eight different directions. Although each of the armies was still powerful, they were several times weaker than the terrifying strength they had displayed before!
"Every main city will be attacked by 100 Purple bosses and 10 Xuanling bosses!"
"What a terrifying lineup!"
"Especially those Overlords. They can heal up to 20%. With the Mammoth Boss, one tank and one healer, they're invincible!"
"It's so hard. We can't even get close to the boss. One stomp and a whole bunch of them will die!"
The players discussed among themselves. Even though the monsters had split up their troops, each troop was still intimidating!
"It's a pity that I can't get the Level + 4 reward!" Zhang Yang could not help but sigh. It was only a matter of time before the monster army reached the Ten Desolate Sea. If he could not stop all of the monsters from entering the Ten Desolate Sea, the best he could achieve was not losing a single city.
"Oh my god, you're still thinking about getting a reward!" Han Ying Xue slapped her forehead with her hand. "Man, wake up. Stop dreaming about having three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. Properly guard that temple of yours!"
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "No matter what, it's a good thing that the monsters split up. It's much easier to deal with than when they didn't split up at all!"
This was especially true for the Zephyr Mammoths. When they reached a certain size, their destructive power was incomparably huge. This was not a 1 + 1 increase, but an exponential increase! Therefore, when 800 Mammoths gathered together, it could be said that they could kill gods and buddhas in their way!
However, once they split up, the advantage of the monster army was greatly reduced. Although their attack power was still strong, it was not as hopeless as before.
Along the way, the players only set up defenses along one route, using their superior strength to fight against the tide of ancient creatures.
It had to be said that this monster army was indeed strong. Even though they only had one-eighth of their original numbers, they were still extremely powerful. They crushed the players along the way and continued to advance! As the monsters had an endless supply of reinforcements, they were not afraid of fighting a war of attrition!
A few hours later, the eight armies arrived at the gates of the eight main cities.
At this time, the players could only split up. As there were free teleportation points between the main cities, all players could quickly return to their respective main cities to defend.
Only a small number of NPCs in the main cities participated in this battle. It was said that there was a rebellion somewhere and the army had been sent out to suppress it. They would only return in a few days! No matter how far-fetched this reason was, the system wanted the players to rely on their own strength to win this battle. In other words, they had to hold on for a certain amount of time and wait for the main city army to return!
The monster army did not stop and immediately launched a fierce attack on the main cities!
Fortunately, the magic cannons could still be operated freely. Moreover, the main cities were different from territories. The number of magic cannons was in the hundreds! This kind of lethality was undoubtedly terrifying. It immediately caused a heavy blow to the monster army and also attracted countless Zephyr cockroaches to attack the magic cannons from the air.
Naturally, the players had to do their best to protect these killing weapons that could cause heavy damage to the monsters. A tragic battle was staged again. The sky was dark and the gods were howling!
"Server Announcement: Bama City (African Continent) has been attacked by ancient creatures!"
…
"Server Announcement: Peace City (Japanese and Korean Continent) has been attacked by ancient creatures!"
…
No one knew how long the battle went on. The server kept spamming the screen with announcements, announcing the names of the main cities that had been attacked by monsters! The Japanese and Korean Continent had the highest number of main cities lost, with a total of five! The North American Continent had also lost its first main city. At present, only the China Continent and the European Continent could still maintain their main cities!
"Server Announcement: The ancient creatures have come out in full force. Heroes, persevere and you will win!"
Finally, the system sent out a good news. From this moment onward, the number of monsters would no longer be replenished. Every monster killed would mean that the number of monsters would be reduced by one!
Under the stimulation of this great news, the players' confidence was greatly boosted and they fought with all their might against the monsters. However, although the number of monsters would no longer be replenished, the number of monsters outside the main cities was still dizzying. Moreover, the two killing machines, the Mammoth boss and Zephyr Overlord, were living very well. The players could not do anything about them!
"Server Announcement: England City (European Continent) has been attacked by ancient creatures!"
As the server was flooded with notifications, the European Continent could not protect itself. Its first main city had fallen. Now, only the China Continent had not fallen yet!
At this time, Zhang Yang did not hold back anymore. He activated the God of War Transformation and moved freely above the main cities. With the Devourer Sword, he mercilessly harvested the monsters' heads. He even took the risk of pulling a few Mammoth Kings and Zephyr Overlord and killed them with the aggro separation skill, greatly reducing the pressure on the defense.
He did not limit himself to Baiyu City. Instead, he immediately teleported to any of the eight main cities that were in danger! At this time, the fate of all the players in the China Continent was closely linked. These eight main cities were equivalent to eight levels. If one city was not lost, one could obtain a level! The first three cities were profitable, and the last five were losses. No one wanted to lose, everyone wanted to gain!
Fatty Han and the other players in the China Continent who had Legacy Transformation also activated their ultimate skills and resisted the attacks of the crazy monsters! Unfortunately, because everyone had only entered the Zone of Chaos not long ago, there were not many guilds that had Taboo Scrolls!
Moreover, even Taboo Scrolls were divided into single-target, support-type, and area-of-effect types. Not every Taboo Scroll was suitable for the current situation!
"Server Announcement: Wild City (Japan and Korea Continent) has been conquered by ancient creatures!"
Although the Japanese and Korean server losing another main city was something that the Chinese server players were happy about, the pressure from the monsters was simply too great. Not many players were paying attention to the server's notifications. They were focused on killing the monsters.
Kill kill kill!
To determine whether a main city had been conquered by monsters, it wasn't the number of monsters that had invaded the main city. Instead, it was whether the palace of the main city had been destroyed by the monsters! In the past, every main city was the capital of a kingdom and had a palace. Even though it had been unified by Serena, every palace was still the pivot of the main city.
Rumble!
Under the ferocious attacks of the Mammoth BOSS, the main city walls were finally shattered. The vast army of monsters charged into the city and the battle entered the urban warfare stage.
A main city would fall almost every one to two hours. The Japan and Korea Continent suffered the worst because they only had one main city left. Currently, all the players above Level 50 were defending the main city. This was their last shred of dignity, and they had to protect it no matter what.
The China Continent had the best results. They still had one main city left, but the monsters in several main cities had already forced their way to the palace gates. The situation was precarious! The Europe Continent's results weren't too bad. They only lost one main city and held onto the second position.
"Server Announcement: The White Jade Empire's army is returning to the capital. There are still three hours before they can reinforce the capital!"
"Server Announcement: The White Jade Empire's army is returning to the capital. There are still three hours before they can reinforce the capital!"
"…"
The players finally saw the light of victory. They just had to hold on for another three hours and it would be their victory! The true defensive strength of the main cities had the presence of a Celestial BOSS. The Kings of each main city were also in the Heavenly Sage Stage, which was enough to suppress the terrifying lineup of monsters.
One hour!
Two hours!
Three hours!
Amidst the difficult defense, a player on a flying mount suddenly shouted, "Reinforcements are here! Reinforcements are here! "He couldn't help but cry tears of joy!
At this moment, Zhang Yang was in Baiyu City. The Thunder Eagle soared into the sky as he looked into the distance. In the distant horizon, an army was rapidly approaching. Golden griffin flags fluttered in the wind. It was the war flag of the Baiyu Empire! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me.
