In the half a day before the system notification, Yang Rui had also carefully observed the characteristics of the Colosseum. With Yang Rui's current military composition, he would definitely be at a disadvantage in aerial combat. As such, after some discussion with Yang Rui, Guo Jia, Xu You, and the others, Yang Rui decided on a strategy to defend the Colosseum from below.
Of course, according to Alger, the various civilizations on Death Island had a fixed division of labor when facing a stampede. This was the first time Yang Rui had participated in such a battle, and he still had to coordinate with these NPC forces.
Yang Rui's Fourth and Fifth Grade forces were at a disadvantage when facing monsters with the strength of a beginner general or above. The strategy to defend the Colosseum from below would allow them to make full use of the terrain of the Colosseum. This would allow the archers and guards to occupy high ground and unleash their full power.
At the same time, there was another piece of good news. After Guo Jia's experiments, the Four Symbols Maze could also be placed inside the Colosseum. Moreover, it could envelop the entire Colosseum!
The Colosseum was only equivalent to the area of an advanced village. The Four Symbols Maze could envelop the entire Castle in the Sky. Naturally, it would have no problem against the Colosseum. At first, Yang Rui was only worried that the Maze would not be able to unleash its full potential in special situations.
However, the Colosseum had no such limitations. This undoubtedly provided great convenience for the defense against the stampede. It also provided support for Yang Rui and the NPCs on Death Island to coordinate the defense.
Ke, w, w, w.
Apart from that, Yang Rui also conducted research on the specific source of the stampede.
According to the information provided by Alger, whenever a stampede occurred, the stampede would be overwhelming. Monsters would swarm toward the Colosseum from all directions. Normally, these monsters were somewhat similar to the NPCs on Death Island. They rarely showed themselves.
This piqued Yang Rui's curiosity, including the large group of birds that suddenly appeared when he officially set foot on Death Island. It just so happened that he wanted to find out if the Four Symbols Maze could work on the Colosseum. So, Yang Rui directly exposed Sky City so that he could investigate the direction and situation of the monsters.
This time, the first to appear were not the birds in the sky, but several groups of monsters on the ground that rushed from all directions around the Colosseum. Under Yang Rui's careful attention, he also saw the way these monsters appeared from the perspective of the Sky Castle.
Actually, there was nothing special about it. Yang Rui immediately confirmed that the large number of monsters that suddenly appeared were all spawned out of thin air. It was as if the monsters had sensed the activities of the people on the island and had automatically spawned.
Previously, Yang Rui had some guesses about this situation. Its characteristics were somewhat similar to the accompanying monster communities around new territories in the game. However, he had personally verified it.
"System Notification: The stampede on Death Island will occur in half a day (12 hours). Players, please be prepared."
At the same time that Yang Rui "attracted" a large number of NPCs, the notification of the stampede on Death Island was transmitted almost at the same time. This made Yang Rui somewhat suspect that his actions had triggered the stampede in advance.
Regardless of whether Yang Rui's actions had caused the stampede to arrive in advance or not, clusters of white light began to appear in the Colosseum after the system notification. The NPCs of the various civilization strongholds on Death Island had been teleported into the Colosseum one after another.
"General Gao Shun, why don't you follow me and kill to your heart's content?"
Facing a large number of beginner General-level monsters that were constantly emerging from the 16 arches of the Colosseum, Yang Rui suddenly felt a sense of pride and proposed to Gao Shun.
"Gao Shun will naturally advance and retreat together with my lord!" Gao Shun said. Following closely behind, Yang Rui leaped a few times and arrived at the base of the Colosseum.
The interior of the Colosseum was like a stadium in the real world. The four sides were arranged in a gradient like grandstands. Yang Rui, Gao Shun, and the others were originally at the top of the fifth floor of the Colosseum to check out the situation of the monsters. At this time, under Yang Rui's suggestion, the two of them were like tigers descending from the mountain. They leaped one floor at a time and quickly jumped into the pile of monsters on the base of the Colosseum.
Even though the span of each floor was more than 10 meters, such a height was nothing to Yang Rui and Gao Shun, who were at the level of historical generals.
"Kill!"
"Sizzle!"
"Beep! Beep! Beep! "
“”
Yang Rui had not made a big move for a long time. At this time, facing the dense crowd of beginner General-level monsters, as soon as he entered the circle, he waved the spear in his hand like a whirlwind, his body spinning into the crowd of monsters.
In comparison, although the Crimson Emperor Sword Technique combined with the Nameless One Meter Blade and the Soaring Dragon Inner Force Mantra, its power was much higher than the long spear. However, Yang Rui still chose to use the long spear. He continuously used the 81 Forms of the Falling Wild Goose, and like a whirlwind, he was invincible!
To deal with beginner General-level monsters, the 81 Forms of Wild Goose Fall was originally enough. This spear technique had accompanied Yang Rui since the beginning. At this time, Yang Rui already had the strength of a historical general. When he used it, it was even more powerful. The killing efficiency was not lower than using the Scarlet Emperor Swordsmanship.
"Kill!"
"Beep! Beep! Beep! "
“”
Gao Shun also had a long spear in his hand. Although his spear style was somewhat different from Yang Rui's, his killing efficiency did not fall behind in the slightest. He ferociously pushed forward from Yang Rui's left and right, acting as Yang Rui's flanks.
Guo Jia seemed to have understood Yang Rui's intention at the first moment. He directly activated the Four Symbols Maze that had been set up long ago. The dense fog quickly shrouded the entire Animal Arena. The large group of monsters that rushed into the base suddenly became disoriented.
The monsters that were originally pouncing on Yang Rui and Gao Shun suddenly lost their targets. They could no longer find the figures of Yang Rui and Gao Shun. They had completely become living targets under the sharp attacks of the two people.
"Shh!"
"Beep!"
“”
Suddenly, there were sounds of people sucking in cold air from various levels of the Animal Arena. The eyes of the various civilization forces that had just been teleported into the Animal Arena widened. The scene in front of them was almost unbelievable. Many of them kept rubbing their eyes.
Originally, when they had just been teleported into the Animal Arena, these NPCs were still a little noisy for a while. Clearly, they had not expected such a large group of monsters to appear at the beginning of the Beast Horde.
Originally, the Beast Horde had erupted very suddenly. Most of the civilization forces' NPCs were still in the final state of preparation. They did not expect to be teleported into the Animal Arena and immediately attacked by the monsters.
However, when they saw the situation in the Animal Arena clearly, the various civilization NPCs that had been teleported into the Animal Arena automatically quieted down. Only the continuous roars of the beasts that came from below the Animal Arena were left. Then, there were the sounds of the NPCs continuously sucking in cold air.
"Lord Messenger Alger, is this the Lord Blazing Sun that you mentioned?"
The battle at the base of the Animal Arena did not seem to have any intention of stopping. After the initial shock, the NPC leaders of the various civilization bases gradually realized Yang Rui's identity. They began to approach Alger and ask about the situation.
"Uh, this is the Lord Blazing Sun that I mentioned."
Even though Alger had been fortunate enough to see Yang Rui in action before, the current situation was different from that time. Alger also fell into deep shock.
After Alger's confirmation, the leaders of the more than ten civilization bases in the Animal Arena had a new understanding of Yang Rui. Although the expressions of the various leaders were different, they were all extremely shocked by the strength displayed by Yang Rui and Gao Shun.
The leaders of the various civilization bases could not help but feel somewhat lucky. Although Yang Rui and Gao Shun's strength had surpassed the strength of the various civilizations on the island, the Island of Death had special restrictions. It was likely that Yang Rui would not easily do anything to them.
"Blazing Sun is indeed very powerful. Originally, according to the information provided by Lord Messenger Alger, we all thought that Blazing Sun's strength was only on par with Lord Sage Anshihan, Lord Mage Vonbliss, and Lord Brave General Lai Like. Now, it seems that the situation is not so."
"Yes, it's indeed beyond our expectations."
"The monsters that he attacks seem to have lost their target! Why is that?! "
"With this person around, although the Beast Horde this time is much more dangerous, it should not be a problem, right?"
"Lord Swordsman Colenuel, did you think that this Beast Horde and Blazing Sun are related?"
“”
Yang Rui and Gao Shun's eye-catching display of strength caused a wave of laughter and discussion among the NPC leaders of the various civilizations. There were people with all sorts of thoughts among them. Some of them even stopped halfway through their sentences, and the meaning behind their words was even more obscure.
"Archers, get ready. Fire!"
While the NPC leaders of the various civilizations were discussing softly, Yang Rui and Gao Shun leaped onto the upper level of the colosseum. They released 10000 archers from the Castle in the Sky and lined them up on the second level of the colosseum.
Yang Rui and Gao Shun prepared to test the strength of the soldiers against the siege monsters after killing a small portion of the monsters.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Hum! Hum!
“”
At Yang Rui's order, the ten thousand Fourth Grade archers that had been spread out quickly raised their arrows and fired. A rain of arrows lunged at the monsters on the surface of the colosseum like a swarm of locusts.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
“”
The rain of arrows was dense and ferocious. They had not stopped since the very beginning.
However, the monsters in the colosseum were all beginner generals and above. The arrows had clearly struck many parts of a monster's body, but they only caused the monster to roar and howl. Very few of the arrows were actually effective against them!
