There were quite a few casualties in the beginning.
However, in general, as long as the players adapted to the way the Zergs fought, it was easy for them to hold their ground.
"These insects are so weak. Let's go." The spectating unaffiliated players watched as the insects fell to the ground one after another under the attacks of the three major clubs. The scene of the battle erupted with cheers of people picking up equipment. They finally could not hold it in anymore.
Because the gap in the wall was very large, the casual players chose to fight the Zergs at the edge of the gap.
Ruling Sword acquiesced to this behavior. They didn't seem to think that these people were here to steal their kills.
In fact, there were already many commanders who asked Lu Li to fight. They felt that the equipment and materials that these Chongzi dropped were very good. It wasn't like they couldn't beat them. They had paid such a high price, so why should they let others take advantage of them?
Lu Li didn't pay attention to these people and insisted that no one should stop them.
"Don't be so stingy. They're just picking up some corners. How many monsters can they steal from us? Isn't this enough for you to kill?"
"Damn, how did Shameless Lu suddenly become so generous?" Weilan Haifeng couldn't believe his ears. Normally, Lu Li wouldn't be so selfless. As long as they dared to infringe on his interests, they would inevitably be ruthlessly suppressed.
"Hehe, if even a stupid person like you thinks it's impossible, then of course it's impossible," Wander said with a sneer.
"What's going on?" Weilan Haifeng really couldn't understand.
Fortunately, the answer was soon revealed. He didn't need to urgently torture his few brain cells.
In the midst of the overwhelming wave of Zergs, tall monsters with wolf heads and human bodies appeared in everyone's field of vision. Each of them was several stories tall and had muscles. At least from the visual effect, it gave off a very difficult feeling.
They were indeed difficult to deal with. The players at the very front were directly swept away.
Although the damage wasn't enough to kill a large group, at least the formation of the players was disrupted for a while.
What was strange was that these monsters were all heading towards the edge of the gap. This meant that the players who had to face them weren't Ruling Sword players, but players from small to medium-sized guilds.
"Indeed, indeed shameless." Wander took a deep look at Lu Li and instantly understood Lu Li's intention.
The Insect Tide was made up of a large number of Common monsters. However, anyone with a brain would be able to guess that it was impossible for there to be only Common monsters here. Otherwise, this so-called Insect Tide would be too easy to deal with. At the very least, there would be higher-level monsters appearing.
These wolf-headed monsters played such a role.
When an Elite monster had over a million HP, no one dared to claim victory.
"They won't be able to hold on for much longer. We need to do something," Wander said anxiously. Lu Li had sent these monsters to the unaffiliated players. However, if the unaffiliated players couldn't hold on for much longer, they would still be the ones to suffer.
"There's no need. Someone's coming," Lu Li said calmly.
His gaze passed over the already chaotic group of unaffiliated players. At the furthest end, a new group appeared. It was the major clubs who finally couldn't hold back their desire to get a piece of the pie.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that a new variable had appeared on the battlefield.
"Why are these monsters only on the sides and not in the middle?" Weilan Haifeng asked in confusion.
"Apart from having strong combat power, these monsters are also quite good at demolition," Lu Li explained. "They're called Anubisaths. They once shone brilliantly in the War of the Shifting Sands a thousand years ago."
Anubisaths!
Anubis, the god of ancient Egypt. He was in charge of embalming corpses, controlling the souls of the dead and ensuring the resurrection of the dead. His image was that of a fox with a wolf's head and a human's body. The Dawnlight game borrowed some of the myths and legends to define him as one of the main forces of Ahn 'Qiraj's army.
The Troll race was the first race to take up arms against the ancient bug race, the Aqir Empire. After a thousand years of war, the Troll race finally obtained victory. The Aqir Empire was split into two halves, and the surviving bug race escaped to the northern and southern borders of Kalimdor.
As time passed, the powerful Troll Empire collapsed, and the Aqir Empire gradually expanded its power in Silithus, forming a new and terrifying race — the Qiraj bug people.
Legend has it that after the war ended, the twin emperors Vek 'lor and Veknilas agreed that the empire needed strong and loyal soldiers. Legend has it that the two emperors personally came to the scene and created the first Anubisath army in the inextinguishable flames under Ahn 'Qiraj. Even in peaceful times, the Qiraj Empire never stopped creating armies.
When the Well of Eternity was destroyed in the ancient war, the scattered rumors about the terrifying Aqir Empire disappeared. However, the Qiraj bug people still bided their time, waiting for the right time to launch a surprise attack on the entire world.
A thousand years ago, the twin emperors once again sent out a war, wanting to conquer the entire Kalimdor.
This time, they prepared the latest battle weapons. Although the Night Elves had the advantage in numbers, they were still vulnerable in front of the powerful Qiraj bug people. One Anubisath was enough to destroy an entire team of Night Elves.
The Anubisath had low intelligence, but these huge warriors were highly efficient killing machines. General Lajax organized the strongest Anubisath soldiers into the elite assault force, and the majority of them were sent to the frontlines to charge and break through enemy lines. The general obviously knew that these terrifying fellows were enough to intimidate the Elves' military might.
Just as the Elves were retreating in defeat, the Great Druid Fandral Staghelm convinced the Bronze Dragon to join the war. Outside the Ahn 'Qiraj Gate, the Dragon race and the Anubisath were engaged in a fierce battle.
The few Anubisath that could cast spells were not fighting at the frontlines, so the Dragon race could concentrate their firepower and not worry about being counterattacked. In the first confrontation, the Anubisath army was almost completely annihilated, but there was one Anubisath that seemed to be much smarter than the others.
This Anubisath called Osrian locked onto the leader of the Dragon race army, Grakalon, and threw his Obsidian Sword to cut off the giant dragon's wings.
The injured giant dragon fell from the sky, crashing into the Qiraj army. Although Osrian almost lost his life, the Anubisath and the Qiraj bug people understood this method, and very quickly, they defeated the noble Dragon race like a hot knife through butter.
Although the elite Anubisath outside the Instance Dungeon were low level, their strength surpassed most Quasi-Bosses, and they were completely on par with some normal Bosses.
The casual players continued to be defeated, and more than a thousand people died under the fists and kicks of the Anubisath.
The club players filled in this gap. It wasn't easy for them to deal with the Anubisath, but at least they managed to stop the Anubisath's rampaging advance.
Lu Li's side had the most monsters, but there weren't many Anubisath, so the two sides were naturally much easier to deal with.
"It's fallen, I wonder what it will drop." Wander narrowed his eyes, looking at the square formation representing the Blood Red War Flag. The first Anubisath had fallen with a loud bang, and a large cloud of dust flew into the air. He felt that although Lu Li's actions had relieved the pressure on the frontlines, they would undoubtedly miss out on the items dropped by the elite monsters.
"We'll find out soon enough, there's also a black dog coming over from our side." Lu Li skillfully gave the title of black dog to these monsters.
They had wolf heads and human bodies, and there was no difference between a wolf's head and a dog's head. In addition, their skin was dark, so the players hated the Anubisath and called them black dogs. The reason why they hated them was because these monsters were particularly difficult to kill, and they didn't drop anything decent.
Otherwise, why would Lu Li be so generous as to let them have these monsters?
Although the black dogs had gathered at the gap in the wall of beetles to expand the gap, the swarm of insects had also begun to mix in in twos and threes. The Ruling Sword players had no choice but to fight these monsters in close combat.
"Change equipment!" Lu Li gave the order.
The Main Tank that was facing off against the Anubisath had long since left the battle to change equipment. All of the balanced defensive equipment had been replaced with physical defensive equipment.
The other players had made space for them to fight.
The Anubisath outside the Instance Dungeon were basically all monsters with pure physical attacks. As long as the Main Tank's physical defense reached a certain threshold, not only would they be able to resist the Anubisath's attacks, but they would also be able to nullify most of the Anubisath's knockback effects.
This was the use of information.
Lu Li didn't shy away from using this information. In fact, in some of the ancient treehouses in the Night Elves' main city, as long as the players were willing, they could always find some scrolls and books left behind by the war veterans.
There was more or less a description of Ahn 'Qiraj and Chongzi's combat units.
As for the clubs that didn't know the truth, they suffered quite a bit.
When these clubs finished suffering, Lu Li immediately pretended to send people over to pass on his experience. He told everyone that as long as players with high physical defense went up to pull the monsters, everything would be fine.
Why did he have to warn them? Why didn't he let these clubs that were hostile to Ruling Sword continue to suffer losses?
Did he think everyone was an idiot? Discovering that the Anubisath was a physical attack unit wasn't that difficult of a matter. Why didn't he take advantage of the fact that everyone would find out sooner or later before they found out?
Moreover, Lu Li was counting on them to share some of the pressure with him.
Jade Flower Lover believed that without the help of external forces, Ruling Sword, Peerless City and Drizzle Court's alliance of three clubs wouldn't be enough to resist Chongzi inside the wall of beetles.
It had to be said that this person had a very good sense of strategy.
It was impossible for such a huge game incident to end so easily.
Ruling Sword really couldn't resist the monsters that rushed out of the wall of beetles, even with the help of the casual players. Reality proved that these ordinary players couldn't even deal with a monster like the Anubisath. They could only deal with the ordinary Chongzi.
Lu Li needed other clubs to share the pressure.
Moreover, the most important thing was that the battle would definitely last for a very long time. Lu Li's preliminary estimate was that they would fight for at least six hours.
Lack of supplies, exhaustion, mentality and other factors could cause Ruling Sword's players to collapse halfway through.
The Anubisath wasn't the end.
Soon, a new monster appeared – the Obsidian Destroyer.
From their appearance, the Obsidian Destroyer had the head and lower body of a cat, as well as the torso of a human. They also had a pair of large wings on their back.
Tovillians were originally created by the Titans to protect the secrets of Uldum.
In the ancient Troll Empire, the Empire defeated the Aqir insectoids and forced them to split into two countries. The Aqir insectoids who went north discovered and overthrew the Tovillian civilisation in the North Rift Territory. These Aqir insectoids eventually became what we call the Nyuu Spider people today. They devoured Tovilna and made it a part of themselves.
Similarly, the Aqir insectoids who went south occupied a Titan research station near Uldum. They then called themselves the Qiraj insectoids and their new home was called Ahn 'Qiraj.
Although the Scourge of the North eventually destroyed the Azioth-Nyuu Empire and sent the remaining Tovillian slaves to the frontlines, there could still be more Tovillians hidden in the Titan City of Uldum or the depths of the Azioth-Nyuu ruins.
For the Qiraj insectoids, the Night Elf army once made them feel fear. However, in the War of the Shifting Sands, it was the Bronze Dragon who first gave the insectoids a taste of terror.
Seeing the dragons wipe out batches after batches of the mutant army with minimal losses, the Twin Emperors realized that their army was not well-equipped enough to fight against the powerful magic of the dragons.
In order to make up for the flaws in their equipment, Emperor Vek 'lor racked his brains to design a mechanical device that could fight against the ancient dragons. However, all of his earlier plans failed.
Vek 'lor finally made a breakthrough under the instructions of his master and created this new mechanical creature. Although he was quite satisfied with it, even the Qiraj emperors could not imagine the dark power contained in these mechanical creatures.
No one knew how the first Obsidian Destroyer was created, but legend had it that Vek 'lor dug out a piece of stone from the furnace buried under the ruins of Ahn' Qiraj and used it to create the Obsidian Destroyer. What surprised Vek 'lor was that his master had infused this sluggish creation with limited perception as well as some sort of mysterious magical power — the Obsidian Destroyer could absorb and store the mana of hostile creatures, and then suddenly release a terrifying amount of energy.
This made the Obsidian Destroyer Vek 'lor's last and most deadly creation.
The Destroyer won the first battle. The dragons were not used to fighting enemies who were good at long-range attacks, and they were helpless against the Obsidian Destroyer's ability to absorb magic. Nozdormu's son, Anachronos, sought help from other dragons. It was said that after that, the Qiraj bugmen were sealed in the Beetle Wall.
The dragons that survived that battle were still afraid of these monsters that could absorb magic.
When these monsters broke into the players' camp, the Magic players were horrified to find that their mana was being depleted at an abnormal rate.
Fortunately, Lu Li had already prepared for this.
"Magic players, get out of the way. Let the melee players go up," Lu Li specified the specific professions to be Warriors and Thieves. They didn't use magic, so it didn't matter how the enemy absorbed it.
However, there were still quite a few Obsidian Destroyers that could threaten the Magic professions.
In this battle, whether it was Ruling Sword's coalition that was at the forefront, the major clubs that provided effective help on both sides, or the ordinary players that were in between, everyone paid a heavy price.
More and more players died, then ran back to the battlefield.
After the battle went on for four hours, some players began to have thoughts of retreating, even though everyone had gained a good harvest from the battle.
However, exhaustion welled up in everyone's hearts, and the harvest was no longer enough to give them enough motivation to fight.
"I'm Majin Temple's Unforgettable Maple. I'd like to say a few words." A mage climbed onto a wooden frame and shouted with a loudspeaker in his hand. "I see people leaving. I see people being cowards. I see people being cowards. I see people being cowards …"
"Many years later, when you look back on today's battle, won't you feel regret in your heart?"
"This is a grand event for the entire game. Everyone is participating in the battle, fighting alongside their teammates, friends and girlfriends. Don't you feel ashamed for running away?"
"The worst that can happen is death. Don't you think that even if you die in battle today, it will be glorious?"
…
…
Under the effect of the combination of Alchemy and Engineering, his voice, with the help of the loudspeaker, could almost be heard throughout the entire Silithus.
"What's going on? Why is Maple sis suddenly so emotional?" Elevenless blinked, a little dumbfounded.
"Why is Maple sis suddenly so friendly? I remember that he was plotting against us before." Even the people from Ruling Sword didn't understand what this guy was doing. Weilan Haifeng felt that this whole thing was a little strange.
