With Serena gone, the players naturally had to face the butcher knife of Ankhs. At this stage of the game, no one could defend against a Celestial BOSS. The only way out was to retreat!
This Undead BOSS slashed open the void with his sword and created a teleportation door. Instantly, countless Undead armies surged out and charged at the players!
With Ankhs around, the players were no match for him. As the Sword of Destruction danced, a large number of players within 500 meters were killed! With such a huge disparity in strength, the Undead quickly occupied Sauron Castle!
Fortunately, Zhang Yang and the rest managed to retreat to Mornin Town before the Undead destroyed the teleportation door. They used it as a stronghold and continued to defend. However, as Serena had returned to White Jade City to recuperate due to 'severe injuries', and the White Jade Empire's army had been deployed to protect the Queen, the fall of Mornin Town was inevitable!
This was a requirement of the plot. If the players couldn't even kill their way into the inner regions of the Great District, how could it be called an Undead Invasion?
After Sauron Castle, Aganluo Fortress, Sinchaya Town, and White Horse Bay also fell one after another and became the strongholds of the Undead. After that, the Undead armies continued to advance and invaded the gateways of the Eight Great Districts. Wherever the resistance was strong, Ankhs would tear open the void and instantly suppress the entire place. The arrogance of a Celestial BOSS spread like wildfire!
Naturally, it was inevitable that the gateways of the Eight Great Districts would fall. The players once again retreated to the main cities of their own Great Districts. However, Ankhs was simply too powerful. He conquered 56 of the 64 main cities, leaving only one main city in each Great District to struggle at death's door!
At this point, the Undead Invasion was considered to have fully unfolded. Next, it was up to the players to reclaim their lost territories!
Ankhs was overseeing one of the four high-grade territories, and his exact location would change over time. Unless Ankhs was killed, any of the main cities and territories could not be reclaimed!
After losing all the territories in the Zone of Chaos, it was as though they had returned to the prehistoric era. Especially for players above Level 100, if they wanted to go out to train, they had to first fly from the main cities to the Ten Desolate Sea and pass through the teleportation door there to enter the Zone of Chaos!
It was even worse for players above Level 150. Even if they entered the Zone of Chaos, they would have to fly for a long time to reach the corresponding leveling area.
Of course, the system wouldn't be so ruthless. The monsters occupying the cities and territories were between Level 100-180, so high-level players could use them to hone their skills. However, compared to the number of players, these monsters were far too few. In order to occupy the leveling areas, countless chaotic battles had broken out.
Everyone longed to reclaim their cities and territories. After being tortured so badly by the Undead, most people had given up on the idea of obtaining the Divine Equipment. They could only look forward to returning to the leveling environment they had in the past!
This was the Age of Darkness!
However, the Heavenly Sage Bosses in the main cities would only launch a counterattack once every month in the game. The counterattacks of the eight major regions were staggered. Starting from the first major city that fell, every major region had three days to attack. If the battle lasted for more than three days, regardless of whether the battle ended or not, the players would be automatically teleported out of the battle zone.
Based on the current situation, the first region to launch a counterattack after a month would be the South American region, followed by Australia, Europe, North America, Africa, Japan, Korea, India, and finally China. Judging from the performance of the main city BOSS in the first battle, even if it was strengthened by 10%, it still wouldn't be a match for Ankhs. Serena was stronger than the average Heavenly Sage Boss, but she was the only one!
That was why he only managed to defeat Ankhs after failing seven times in his previous life. With the strength of a Celestial Boss, how could a Celestial Equipment Set be obtained so easily? Moreover, after defeating the BOSS, all the players who participated in the battle would receive a reward of + 2 levels and the title of 'Hero of the Continent'. This was a special title that could only be enjoyed in one major region!
As he was certain that he would fail the first time, Zhang Yang did not use his Military Points. Instead, he continued to accumulate them. During this one month of preparation, the NPCs in the main cities would continue to issue missions to obtain Military Points. After the first battle, everyone understood the importance of Military Points.
Hiring NPCs with Military Points did not just give the players more fighters. If that was the case, then Military Points would be meaningless. Under Ankhs' Sword of Destruction, it would just be restoring Health Points for the BOSS!
The NPC mercenaries could share the damage that the players received! The percentage was not much, only 1%. However, the players could increase this value through the accumulation of numbers. When the number of NPCs exceeded 99, the players would only receive 1% of the damage. The remaining 99% of the damage would be shared equally by all the NPCs!
However, normal NPC soldiers did not have this function. Only Elite NPCs had this special skill.
Elite NPCs cost 100 Military Points each. In theory, to reach the upper limit of sharing damage would require 9,900 Military Points! Zhang Yang only had 3,890 Military Points. He could only hire 38 Elite NPCs to share 38% of the damage. That was still not enough!
These Elite NPCs were actually equivalent to Health Potions. In the future, when he fought Ankhs, these NPCs did not need to go to the front. Instead, they could stay behind. As the "Life Link" skill had an effective range of 1,000 meters, these NPCs could live very well. 1% of their Health Points would be equivalent to around 10,000 damage. The healers at the back only needed to be Level 100. With 99 of them, these NPCs would be able to recover their Health Points.
However, these Military Points were obtained through Zhang Yang's hard work. Although he could still continue to earn Military Points now, the efficiency could not be compared to when he received 1,000 or 500 Military Points from the main quest. Therefore, Zhang Yang did not intend to use Military Points for the first counterattack. Instead, he wanted to continue saving!
Even if he could defeat the BOSS, if the NPC's damage was more than 50%, he would have to deal a considerable amount of damage to qualify for the loot. It was unlike when the players fought the BOSS. They only needed to deal one damage before they could attack.
Therefore, the players first had to live long enough to deal a considerable amount of damage. Secondly, they had to persevere until the end of the battle to ensure that they did not end up benefiting others!
The value of Military Points was finally vividly reflected!
Sun Xinyu and the others did not use their Military Points under Zhang Yang's suggestion. At this time, they were also continuing to accumulate Military Points like him. Although there were some missions that only gave 1 or 2 Military Points, there was no other way. They had to accept it no matter how little Military Points they had!
"Ding! You have completed the mission: Probe the enemy's situation. Obtained 1,000,000 Experience Points and 5 Military Points. "
Zhang Yang heaved a sigh of relief. His Military Points increased really slowly. He looked at Guraj and said, "Gnome, do you have any more difficult missions? The missions you gave me previously were too unchallenging!"
"Hey, human, don't be too proud!" The oily green guy immediately jumped up. "Alright, if you can pull in some powerful allies for the Alliance, I'll give you a huge reward!"
"Ding! Guraj has issued you a hidden mission: Find reinforcements. Do you accept? "
Damn, he could create a hidden mission like this!
Zhang Yang quickly nodded and accepted the mission. Then, he immediately opened the mission list to check.
[Find Reinforcements] (Mission Difficulty: Uncertain)
Mission Description: Listen, the Alliance is now in a difficult situation. The Spectres are too powerful, and all living beings on the continent are facing a disaster. We have to unite all the forces that can be united and look for all the help that can be found! Warriors, try to find as many helpers as possible for the Alliance!
Completion: Special Assessment
Limit: 1 person
Mission Reward: Depending on the helpers found, Military Points will be given.
The difficulty of this mission was really difficult to determine. It was possible to find a normal NPC or an Earth Holy Boss. The Military Points naturally could not be the same!
However, if it was to find helpers … Zhang Yang's brain immediately started working. NPC names jumped into his mind one by one.
Melinda Forest Song!
Professional Captive, the new Moon Priestess of the Elves! She had inherited the throne of the Moon Priestess. How could she still be so weak! After all, she was the leader of the Elves. She would definitely be a Sky Holy Boss!
She had the True Recovery skill. She could recover 5% of her Health Points every second. She could recover to full Health Points in 20 seconds. As long as he had the protection of this Boss, he would not need the NPC's Life Link after activating the Legacy Transformation. He could definitely fight the Boss head-on!
However, the Legacy Transformation only lasted for two hours. Obviously, it was not realistic to kill Ankhs in two hours. Hence, he had to continue to accumulate Military Points.
He had saved Melinda three times. Hence, the chances of him getting Melinda to help him was very high! One might ask, the Elves were one of the four major alliances. Why would he specially invite them? The reason was simple. Just like the humans in the Zone of Chaos, they did not belong to the Alliance. The so-called Alliance was only formed by humans, Orcs, Elves, and Dwarves. It did not represent all four major races on the continent!
In addition, there was Smyerlo, the Forgotten King. He was a Celestial Boss that was independent from the Seven Wizard Kings of the Spectres!
Smyerlo had once given him a Friendship Pendant. This showed that the two of them were friends. He could also try his luck with the Forgotten King! If he could get a Celestial Boss to help him, he might be able to kill Ankhs in the first counterattack!
After all, the Spectres only had one Boss, Ankhs. On the other hand, the Alliance had eight Sky Holy Bosses from the eight main cities. With the help of a Celestial Boss, their chances of winning were quite high! That would be 10 pieces of Celestial Set Equipment!
Just thinking about it made him excited!
However, Smyerlo was much harder to invite than Melinda. After all, Smyerlo was also a Spectres. Although he called himself the Forsaken and was incompatible with the other Spectres, in terms of "blood relations", he was closer to Ankhs!
But for the sake of the Celestial Equipment, he had to do it no matter how difficult it was!
Zhang Yang made up his mind and immediately flew out of the main city on his Phoenix Pet. As the Tukula Fortress had also fallen into the hands of the Spectres, Zhang Yang could not use his authority to teleport over. He could only take off from White Jade City — White Jade City was the only main city in the China region that had not been conquered by the Spectres. As for why he chose White Jade City, it was probably related to Serena's presence.
He passed through various leveling areas and entered the Ten Wilderness Sea. Then, he passed through the teleportation door and entered the Zone of Chaos. Zhang Yang's first stop was the Elves' holy land. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
