After thinking about it, they decided to give up and continue onwards. They had already lost so many people before they even saw Qin, and who knew what they would encounter if they continued onwards.
Moreover, Great Qin had 450,000 soldiers, which meant that there was one soldier for every five residents. Great Qin's population was at least two million or so, and they no longer had an advantage in terms of numbers. If they continued to advance and lost a portion of their people, they would be at a complete disadvantage.
When that time came, it was hard to say who would win, so they sighed and decided to give up.
Swish, swish, swish …
Suddenly, the sound of the air being torn could be heard as arrows tore through the sky and flew towards the player army.
The player army was near the water area, and there were no obstacles in their way, making them live targets.
The players were unable to react in time and were hit by the arrows. The soldiers hurriedly used their shields to defend, but the massive rain of arrows still caused many people to die.
This was especially so for those whose feet were injured, and they did not even have the chance to dodge. The people who were responsible for carrying the injured did not sense the danger and were caught off guard, and they were hit by the countless arrows.
"Arghhh …"
Screams rang out one after another, and blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the already red water even redder.
"Rumble …"
Just as the rain of arrows descended, an explosion sounded out, and the ground seemed to violently tremble. Countless people watched in shock as a beast tide ferociously rushed towards them.
There were Azure Cows, wild boars, as well as larger deer and mountain goats. They were all wild beasts that Qin had raised and sold as meat.
Now, these wild beasts' eyes were blood-red as they madly rushed forwards.
"Hurry and fire!"
Countless people shot arrows in terror, but because the trees in front of them were dense, many of the arrows hit the trees. Some arrows were too weak, and although they hit the trees, they didn't cause much damage.
At that moment, the system main city soldiers displayed their true power. They drew their bows to the fullest, and powerful arrows shot out incredibly quickly. The arrows turned into black blurs and pierced into the wild beasts' bodies, causing them to fall to the ground and die without being able to resist at all.
After all, these wild beasts were only ordinary wild beasts, and how could they resist the attacks of Stage 1 soldiers?
With the help of the system's soldiers, the beast horde was reduced by a quarter, greatly reducing the beast horde's momentum.
"Quick, shield!"
Even though the system main city soldiers acted, the massive beast tide still reached them. The players reacted and raised their shields – it was impossible for them to run, and only by resisting would they have a chance at survival.
Seeing the incoming beast tide, the three City Lords prepared to attack together, but three powerful attacks shot towards them, interrupting them.
Boom!
A massive explosion sounded out as the massive beast tide ferociously smashed into the shield wall. The shield wall instantly collapsed, but this reduced the beast tide's momentum, causing them to slow down slightly. Many people raised their weapons and rushed up.
A massive battle between humans and beasts unfolded. It was incredibly chaotic, and the Azure Oxen and Wild Boars sent players flying, while the players stabbed their weapons into the beasts' bodies.
Blood, pained cries, and furious roars continuously sounded out. In the end, it was the player army that had the advantage. Not only were there many people, but the system main city soldiers were also incredibly fast at killing the wild beasts. With the players' cultivations, they were able to defend against the wild beasts' attacks.
However, the 400,000 or so beast tide caused nearly 300,000 players to die.
The three system main city City Lords looked at the three people in the distance with serious expressions because they could sense that they were all system main city City Lords. Why would three system main city City Lords appear here, and they seemed to be helping Qin?
The various factions and Dynasty Legatees had not told them Qin's true strength in order to make the three system main city City Lords think that they had the ability to defeat Qin and attack Qin with their full strength. As for whether the three system main city City Lords lived or died, they did not care. As long as they achieved their goal, it would be enough.
That was why the three system main city City Lords were so surprised to see three City Lords.
Boom!!
Another explosion sounded out as ten black pillars of light shot into the sky, causing the sky to tremble. A massive black magic formation appeared, giving off a boundless aura of death and giving off a faint black light.
Immediately!
The corpses of the beasts started to go through changes – their flesh started to wither and fall off, revealing their skeletons. Black flames appeared in their skulls, and they once again stood up from the ground.
The countless players were once again given a big fright and started to retreat. However, because the battle had just ended, many players were still standing beside the corpses. The instant the corpses of the beasts became Undead, they started to attack the people around them.
Many people were caught off guard and were suddenly attacked, resulting in many deaths and injuries. Following this, the players and Skeletons once again started to fight.
However, the players still had a big advantage. The Skeletons of the beasts weren't very strong, and after being turned into Skeletons, they became even weaker. The Skeletons summoned by the Disaster Cavalry's Undead Disaster were more powerful than normal Skeletons, but they couldn't surpass their strength when they were alive.
This was because there was no skill that could do this, not even Gods. After all, turning a corpse into an Undead required a lot of energy, and according to the law of conservation of energy, the Undead could not surpass the original body's strength, unless it was supported by some sort of power.
Swish, swish, swish …
Another wave of black arrows shot out from the forest, giving off sharp auras as they flew towards the players.
However, they were currently fighting with the Skeletons, so how could they defend against these arrows? Soon, many people were injured or killed, and some of the more powerful arrows were aimed at the system main city soldiers. As such, some of the system main city soldiers were also injured or killed.
"Retreat!"
Seeing this, the countless faction leaders, including the three City Lords, could only yell for them to retreat. After all, the players and system main city factions had suffered heavy losses, and if this went on, they would all die here.
However, even though they wanted to retreat, the countless Skeletons continued to drag them down, and the arrows continued to shoot at them, making it incredibly difficult for them to retreat.
The three City Lords wanted to help, but as soon as they tried to, they were stopped by Bai Qi and the others, making it impossible for them to help at all.
