What followed was a long period of silence.
This was the first time anyone had ever seen a Legendary item. Even Lu Li, a reincarnated person, had never seen one before.
There were rumors that a certain person had a piece of Legendary equipment, but that was all speculation. There was no lack of scheming b * tches trying to frame him. After all, once the rumors about a certain person having a piece of Legendary equipment spread, he would immediately become the target of everyone's pursuit.
"Hey, Lighty, what are we going to eat later?" Weilan Haifeng asked after a moment of daze.
He had been joking when he said that he wanted to compete with Moonlight. No matter how selfish he was, he would never ask for such a high-damage weapon as a main tank.
There were also Wander and Canmeng.
In fact, the first special effect increased the skill level of Whirlwind Slash. Only Berserkers could use this weapon to its fullest potential.
Increasing the skill level of Whirlwind Slash was the best special effect a Berserker could have. Although Whirlwind Slash was ranked first, it was actually the most valuable of the three special effects. As for the other two special effects, the second one gave Berserkers a second Charge. Apart from Lu Li, no one knew what the third special effect was.
What could Shahram do in ten seconds?
No one could answer that question. It wasn't that no one knew the answer, but that the answer was never fixed.
It could very well kill someone. Ten seconds was enough for it to help Moonlight kill a strong opponent. It could also heal Moonlight until he was full. It could also revive one of Moonlight's teammates, provided that there was a corpse on the scene. Most likely, it would buff Moonlight and his teammates.
There were many types of buffs. According to incomplete statistics, there were at least twenty to thirty types.
As such, no one knew what Shahram would do!
The only flaw was that the summoning of Shahram could not be controlled by the player. It was a triggered special effect, not something the player could summon.
As for the other attributes, there was no doubt that the Blacksword was a Blacksword.
He was a little envious, but it wasn't intense. In truth, Lu Li's Devil Strike wasn't any weaker than his.
Special Effect 1: Ambush Skill Level + 1, Combo Points + 1. Special Effect 2: When the caster makes a successful critical hit, the caster gains a 50% damage buff. Lasts for 10 seconds. Special Effect 3: Phantom Shift. Six phantoms appear randomly for three seconds. The caster can choose one of them to replace the real body. Cooldown: 2 hours. Special Effect 4: Bloodlust, Instant Cast. Consumes 20% of HP to increase Attack Power by 50%, Attack Speed by 50%, and Movement Speed by 50% for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 2 hours. After receiving this effect, the caster will be satisfied. The caster will not be affected by Bloodlust or Time Distortion for 10 minutes. Equipment Requirement: 60. Durability: Because it is a one-handed weapon, the caster can equip two daggers. Therefore, the overall damage and attributes are not inferior, and the critical hit is 5% higher.
In terms of special effects, each had its own merits. However, Demon Strike increased the level of Ambush, which was slightly inferior to Whirlwind Slash.
Perfect grade equipment was comparable to a higher grade equipment. Perfect Legendary equipment could actually be seen as Legendary equipment, but it might not be as impressive. If you gave a girl a Perfect Legendary equipment and a Legendary equipment, the effect would be completely different.
Lu Li had given Black Sword to Moonlight, deducting all of his points and owing the guild a few thousand points.
Moonlight was embarrassed. It was not just a matter of points. He could not afford to pay Canmeng's red packet because he was too poor. The gold coins that this PVP maniac earned from clearing dungeons were only enough for him to repair his equipment. Moreover, he had a group of poor friends who needed help.
Of course, Canmeng wouldn't force him to pay, so they basically let him go.
After that, there was nothing else. He casually cleared some of the quests in the dungeon and then went to Marshal Maxwell to submit the quest.
As the highest-ranking officer of the Alliance, he couldn't be too stingy.
Lu Li and the others left the dungeon and headed towards the Burning Steppes where Flame Peak was. Previously, Xiaoba Jiang had shared the quest with everyone so that everyone could submit the quest.
However, before they could reach the place, they heard the sounds of fighting.
Lu Li had everyone hide, then transformed into a Blood Crow and flew into the sky. From his faint red eyes, he could see everything on the Burning Steppes.
This was a rugged, barren land. The fire element had burned down the green grass.
An army of black and green charged forward. The black was their armor, and the green was their skin.
On their green faces, their sagging jaws were very obvious, and a mouthful of sharp teeth were exposed. Their flat noses twitched like dogs from time to time, and their small, bloodthirsty eyes were filled with nothing but red hatred. In the light of the dying sun of the Burning Plain, their ebony-hilted weapons and splendid armour gleamed with a strange light.
The Blackrock Orc Army!
Lu Li wouldn't underestimate these soldiers just because they had just slaughtered the Blackrock Orcs in the dungeon.
The monsters in the dungeon were different from those in the wild. To put it bluntly, the monsters in the dungeon were all fake. But this explanation wasn't necessarily correct. In short, the monsters in the wild were stronger, and once these stronger units were grouped together, they would become an army.
An army was harder to deal with. No matter who it was, once they were surrounded by the soldiers, they would definitely die.
That was why Lu Li had deliberately built his Night Watchmen army. After the Stronghold system was activated, the players would fight for the Strongholds. When that time came, Lu Li's Night Watchmen army would definitely shock their opponents.
The Blackstone Beastmen shouted as they pointed their swords forward. Their target was a small hill that looked like a fold in the undulating land around them.
The only good thing was that there were steep slopes on both sides, and it wouldn't be easy to climb them, let alone charge. There was also a stream of lava on one side, so the Blackstone Beastmen couldn't attack from that direction. They could only threaten the garrison from one side.
A blue Alliance flag fluttered at the top of the hill. There were no castles or strongholds. Boulders were piled up all around, barely forming a defensive position. An Alliance officer who looked like an officer was commanding the battle on a boulder. Occasionally, arrows flew over, but they were all deflected by his sword.
These people had experienced at least a few harsh battles in a row.
Only a few of them did not have too many bandages wrapped around their bodies. Their dirty armor and broken helmets were covered in blood. Their weapons were also curled up into jagged edges, covered in splashes of solidified crimson.
Lu Li was a little confused. What was this?
Was it a mission or a setting? He had come to the Burning Steppes no less than ten times, and he had also stepped into this place before, but he had never paid attention to the battle here.
There were close to a thousand Blackrock Beastmen, but only three to four hundred human soldiers were still able to fight, and almost all of them were injured. Fortunately, their equipment was not bad. They drew their bows, and a rain of arrows poured down from the hillside.
The Orcs at the front fell to the ground after being hit, and they were instantly trampled to death by the Orcs behind them. Then, another volley started, and another wave of Orc soldiers fell to the ground, only to be devoured by the huge army behind them.
But the number of human soldiers was still too few, and the Blackrock Orcs almost broke through their defensive line several times.
The Blackrock Orcs kept changing their formation, advancing and retreating. They clearly had a good commander, and from Lu Li's perspective, it was only a matter of time before the Blackrock Orcs broke through their defensive line.
Lu Li first brought a group of people from the guild over, then called out to his teammates, "Lighty, bring some people over. We've got a deal."
Ruling Sword's people needed time to arrive, and Lu Li was worried that the human soldiers wouldn't be able to hold on until then. Although the fifteen of them weren't many, they were all strong players, and they fought as a group. They had defense and healers, so they would be able to hold on for a while.
Moonlight and the others followed the route that Lu Li had planned, and quickly approached the battlefield.
"Damn, there are too many of them." Unlike Moonlight and Fat Monkey, who were rubbing their palms together, Azure Sea Breeze wasn't a PVP maniac. It was normal for him to be a little scared when faced with so many Orc soldiers.
"There's nothing we can do. There are only a few human soldiers left, and they're all injured," Lu Li said helplessly.
If he had the time to bring a few thousand players over, then the Blackrock Orcs would have surrendered. Now, in order to save these human soldiers, they had no choice but to fight.
As for what they could gain after saving them, Lu Li was looking forward to it, but he didn't force it.
That was the nature of games. It was impossible to just ignore the situation and miss out on a lot of opportunities. Those who did well in games were not afraid of trouble. They died a lot, but they also gained a lot.
"Is everyone ready?" Lu Li asked quietly when they were close enough.
The others were excited. They were about to charge in, and the fifteen of them were going to face off against the Blackrock Orc army.
After Lu Li received confirmation, he didn't immediately rush forward. Instead, he waited for the Orc soldiers to rush up the hill again before he jumped out from his hiding place and led the charge towards the Orc Commander who was riding a giant wolf.
The Orc Commander was yelling at the top of his lungs, but was suddenly stabbed in the head by Lu Li's dagger.
He shook his aching head and let out an earth-shattering roar.
The charging Blackrock Orc soldiers stopped in their tracks and turned around to look at their commander. Just when Lu Li and the others thought that they would come back to help their commander, the Orcs continued to advance.
"Kill!" Weilan Haifeng placed his shield in front of Lu Li. As the main tank, even if he didn't want to fight, he wouldn't let his Thief teammate face the monsters alone.
The Orc Commander wasn't really fighting alone. He had six guards.
Weilan Haifeng and Wander were tanking the monsters at the front, while the melee players supported them from the sides. The ranged players were mainly responsible for attacking, while the healers were protected in the middle. Their presence gave Lu Li and the others some relief.
"Pay attention to your health. Don't be stingy with your damage reduction skills. Our reinforcements will be here soon." Lu Li quickly realized that he had underestimated the enemy.
This was the Burning Steppes, a standard level 60 map. There were monsters ranging from level 50 to level 60, but there were also a few areas with lower level monsters. Under normal circumstances, monsters above level 60 wouldn't appear.
However, reality overturned his understanding.
These monsters were all level 62, and the worst was the Orc Commander. He was level 65 and was obviously a Boss.
Fortunately, this guy was an Orc Shaman.
Shamans were the spiritual leaders of the Clans and Horde. They could communicate with the soul and had the ability to predict the future. They also guided their people through difficult times in the Dark Age. Their role in battle was to boost morale, increase the attack power of the soldiers, or influence the minds of the soldiers to make them go berserk. If the soldiers didn't die, they could also be healed by the Shaman.
The Shaman that Lu Li's team was facing was more of a support type.
Of course, it was impossible for Lu Li to kill him. Moreover, he had six minions supporting him. If everything went according to plan, it was only a matter of time before Lu Li's team was wiped out.
And this was because the Shaman Priest didn't care about them at all.
He was still commanding the Blackrock Orc army to attack the human camp's defenses. However, Lu Li's team had more or less distracted him, so he couldn't immediately take down the human camp.
"Damn, what is he trying to do?"
What happened next left everyone speechless. The human commander on the hillside actually led his troops and charged towards the Orc army.
This is bad. What else could Lu Li say? In fact, he understood what the human commander was thinking. He had indeed seen reinforcements, but there were only a dozen of them. These people weren't enough to help him out. That was why he took advantage of the fact that the Orc commander was being held back by Lu Li's team.
But Big Bro, we have reinforcements. He had just informed Cat Dad to prepare dozens of 100-man teams for him and teleport over here.
Originally, Lu Li's plan had a chance of succeeding. As long as he harassed the Orc commander so that he couldn't focus on commanding the battle, he would be able to fight for a little more space for the human soldiers.
When his main army arrived, they would at least be able to repel the Blackrock Orcs, even if they couldn't kill them all.
Now, the human soldiers were rushing down and trying to break through the encirclement. They didn't even look at the terrain. The three sides that were originally in their favor had now become a disadvantage that restricted their retreat.
As long as the Orc soldiers blocked the front, they could slowly whittle down the human soldiers.
"Where are you guys? Don't maintain your formation. Hurry up. Those with mounts will fight first," Lu Li yelled at Rain Like A Wanderer in the command channel.
"Then our paladins will arrive first. We'll take five minutes at most," Rain Like A Wanderer said without hesitation.
Paladins had a class mount and a Crusader Halo, which increased the mount's movement speed by 20%. They were already a little faster than normal players. Once the Paladins formed a group, their Crusader Halo would be upgraded to a Grand Crusader Halo, which increased their movement speed by 50%.
Following Rain Like A Wanderer's command, four to five hundred Paladins on horseback were separated from the formation of thousands of people.
Most of them had joined the Night Watchmen and were well-trained.
Lu Li could only pray that the human soldiers could hold on for a little longer. Otherwise, it would be too much of a ruckus if he sent a few thousand people to collect the corpses of his allies.
"Why don't we charge in and meet up with them? We can retreat to the top of the hill again," Wander suddenly suggested.
That's a good idea. Lu Li suddenly understood. Instead of waiting outside, it would be better to charge in and meet up with the Alliance soldiers. That way, they could return to the top of the hill again. As for whether they would suffer a double loss when they returned to the top of the hill, that was another matter entirely.
After a brief discussion, they decisively gathered up the Orc commander and regrouped with the human soldiers.
At this point, the difference between players and monsters or NPCs could be seen. Lu Li and the others had more complicated classes, and they had more skills.
For example, Sanyue Yu moved a little closer and used Soul Shriek.
Her beautiful face instantly turned sinister, and a sound wave that could not be heard by the human ear rippled out. Any Blackrock Orc that came into contact with the sound wave immediately ran around like headless flies.
Lu Li and the others took the opportunity to advance a large distance.
The others were about the same. The Mages had Frost Nova, the Hunters had Frost Trap, the Warlocks had Area of Effect Terror, and even the Warriors could use Trample to slow down the pursuers. They rarely cleared the path in front of them because it was simply unrealistic. After all, any Level 62 Elite could not be killed in a short period of time.
The Orc Shaman watched coldly as the two groups of people got closer and closer.
In fact, he did not deliberately surround them. Or rather, he did not mind Lu Li and the others meeting up with the human soldiers. This way, it would be beneficial for him to command the battle and for him to gather together and annihilate them.
This time, it was the human commander's turn to be confused.
They really did not understand why Lu Li and the others would walk right into the trap. Were they not here to help?
Finally, the two groups of people gathered together, and Lu Li also successfully approached the human commander.
"Your Excellency, I am a Night Elf from Darnassus. Now, I hope that you can retreat to an advantageous position. The chances of you rushing out are not high, and even if you do, I'm afraid that you will suffer heavy losses," Lu Li said.
"There was still some hope," the human commander said with slight resentment.
With Lu Li's delay, they had completely lost the chance to break out of the encirclement. However, he did not attack at this time, and instead quickly retreated. If he delayed any longer, the Orc soldiers would cut off their retreat route, and they would be devoured bit by bit.
After leaving a dozen or so corpses behind, Lu Li and the human soldiers returned to the hillside.
With the advantage of the terrain and the obstruction of the boulders, the danger was not over, but they could finally take a breather.
"Lu Li, you can heal them," Sanyue Yu said in surprise, but she quickly added, "It's just that it's not enough. It's not as effective as our own people."
"It's good enough that you can heal them, Hachi Chan, Tranquility," Lu Li said.
Under the heavy protection of her teammates, Xiaoba Jiang began to channel her most powerful AoE healing skill, Tranquility, or rather, Enhanced Tranquility. Even after a period of time, not many people could learn Enhanced Tranquility.
It did not heal much HP, and the soldiers' HP bars only trembled slightly. It was like trying to put out a cart of firewood with a cup of water.
However, what surprised Lu Li was that the healing skill did not only heal HP. For example, Xiaoba Jiang's Enhanced Tranquility had an immediate effect on the soldiers' open wounds.
The soldiers felt the drizzle falling from the sky in a daze, and even their mental state was a lot better.
With their morale boosted, the human soldiers once again stabilized the precarious defensive line. Only then did the human commander have the energy to interrogate Lu Li.
If not for the fact that Lu Li and the others were helping them, and that Xiaoba Jiang and the other healers were helping them, the human commander might have slashed Lu Li's head.
"Why did you rush in?!"
"Your Excellency, I have no doubt about your bravery and wisdom. However, if you rush out like that, how many people will be left with you?" Lu Li did not answer the question directly, but instead asked a question of his own.
The human commander's imposing manner immediately weakened. "No matter how many people will survive, it's better than all of them dying here."
"You must think that we don't have enough people to save you, so you want to break out of the encirclement." Lu Li said with a bitter smile. "Actually, we only joined the battle to delay your fall. The real thing that can change the outcome of this battle is the arrival of the reinforcements."
"Don't tell me you've already sent someone to inform Marshal Maxwell?" The human commander asked in surprise.
"Uh, I'll send someone to inform him right now." Lu Li was a little embarrassed that he had forgotten about this. He said solemnly, "My friends will be here soon. You'll be safe then."
"Your friends?" The human commander's face darkened. He wanted to kill someone right now.
"Don't worry, they're all brave warriors who don't fear death." Lu Li quickly explained. "There are thousands of them on their way. Look, that's the vanguard. You're safe now!"
Looking at the direction Lu Li was pointing at, the human commander saw a group of cavalry on the horizon.
