Looking at the system notification, Gentle Yan immediately used the Balancing Spell Card on her party.
As soon as the Balancing Spell was used, the situation immediately changed.
The flying galactic beasts were still spitting flames at the high walls. The temperature inside the walls was extremely high. A large number of players were burned to death due to the high temperature. Only a few high-level players were barely holding on.
Then, they suddenly realized —
Hmm? Why did they suddenly lose so little HP?
Originally, each attack would deal around 700 to 800 HP. Coupled with the scorch debuff, they would be reduced to skin and bones in a few hits. But now —
-1, -2, -1, -3 …
Looking at the numbers that appeared above their heads, they widened their eyes in disbelief.
"Damn, isn't this His Majesty Xiao Luo's Balancing Spell?"
"What? His Majesty Xiao Luo is here? "
"Ahhhh, is our faction leader finally going to work?"
Gentle Yan's voice sounded in the channel. She said, "This is indeed His Majesty Xiao Luo's Balancing Spell. It's the achievement reward that I just received. It can only last for 30 minutes."
"Huh? So this reward is a one-time use? "
"That's right." Gentle Yan said in a low voice, "So now is not the time to relax. Healers of the Water Healing Division, hurry up and heal the people in charge. Everyone else, listen to my command!"
The players looked at each other and finally answered in unison, "Yes!"
At this moment, it was as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Their voices were full of energy when they answered.
30 minutes of Balancing Spell's buff was equivalent to 30 minutes of invincibility!
Although it was a pity that His Majesty Xiao Luo was not here, one should be content with what one had! Moreover, no matter how powerful His Majesty Xiao Luo was, he was still a faction leader. The battlefield was such a dangerous place, it was better for him to stay away from it.
Moreover, if Gentle Yan could receive such an achievement reward, could they also receive it?
Balancing Spell was definitely a godly skill that was indispensable in a group battle! With such a skill, would they still need to be afraid of group battles in the future?
Thinking of this, many players, especially the leaders of the other mercenary groups, began to have ideas. Of course, they did not give up on the battle in front of them.
"Kill!!!"
Due to the appearance of the Balanced Technique, the players finally had a chance to catch their breath. Their morale, which had been continuously beaten down, was once again boosted.
The originally cowering Wind Element Player was no longer cowering. He directly flew up the high wall and started firing his laser gun as he threw his grenades!
Now that the pressure on the frontline had decreased, the Earth players had a much easier time consolidating the wall. Moreover, the number of casualties caused by the vibrations of the wall had decreased exponentially, which also reduced the time it took for them to corpse run, allowing them to consolidate the wall more efficiently.
Meanwhile, the other Elemental players weren't idling around, either. Every one of them made use of their time to contribute.
After fighting for so long, there were already some experts who had summarized the weaknesses of these interstellar beasts and posted it on the public channel for everyone to see. There were even outside support.
The people on the forum organized and filed the information. When the players in the game downloaded the update and looked at the Interstellar Beast to check the existing information, the system would automatically match it.
Relevant information would pop up, including where the weakness was and how to attack the most effective. It was very convenient.
"Who asked you to be so arrogant? See if I don't beat you to death!"
Now that they no longer had to worry about damage from attacks, the players were completely invigorated, and the speed at which they cleared the monsters had significantly increased.
On the battlefield, on the ground where no one noticed, shadows were busy moving the dead bodies of the interstellar beasts to the bottom of the wall.
One by one, the interstellar beasts fell unwillingly. Perhaps they didn't understand until they died why these extremely weak insects had such tenacious vitality.
As for the players …
Of course, they were exhilarated and mercilessly harvested the lives of the interstellar beasts!
Finally, through the efforts of all the players, they actually managed to kill the first row of interstellar beasts in these 30 minutes. Then, they used these interstellar beasts' corpses to forcefully pile up a "meat wall".
This "wall" formed by the interstellar beasts' corpses became the new line of defense.
The interstellar beasts had huge bodies and tough appearances. They were simply the best defensive material in front of the high wall. Even the interstellar beasts didn't have a good way to deal with the corpses of their companions.
They roared and attacked the corpses in the way. Some even opened their mouths and tore them apart.
Because of the beautification of the Holy Light, this scene even looked somewhat romantic. Therefore, the players didn't feel that it was bloody and cruel at all.
Finally able to take a breather, many of the players couldn't help but stand on the wall and laugh wildly.
"Be angry with your incompetence, you scum!"
"Hahaha, this last battle was so satisfying! As expected, His Majesty Xiao Luo is the best. This battle was simply a superb experience! "
"Hehe, if we had His Majesty Xiao Luo's godly healing skill, we could have killed our way out."
After the players stopped fighting, they began to chat and joke. As for Qingyan, she could finally stop.
The situation wasn't optimistic. From the camera lens, she could see that the endless amount of interstellar beasts were still pouring in, but …
Whatever, let her rest for a while first!
After commanding for 48 hours, she felt dizzy and needed to rest.
Qingyan's balancing skill was simply a stroke of genius for the entire battle. While it was praised by the players, it also attracted many questions from the players.
Regarding this kind of secret, Qingyan naturally kept it a secret.
She only received the reward after commanding for 48 hours. This was the reward from His Majesty Xiao Luo. How could she tell others?
Seeing that she changed the topic, although they felt that Qingyan was not loyal enough, they didn't say anything. After all, the Magic Box Mercenary Group was one of the two largest player forces in the Star Age. It was not easy to mess with them.
Qingyan smiled proudly. If Lin Mu didn't go offline halfway, she might not have been the one to receive this card and know this secret.
Let Lin Mu regret it!
Speaking of which, this card skill was too useful! She had to become a card user as soon as possible to accumulate advantages in the early game.
She made a note of this matter. Only now did she have time to open the forum and look at the latest announcement and related discussions.
In fact, the adjustment of the flow of time in and out of the game affected the most. Other than the streamers, it was probably the professional players like her who stayed in the game almost 24 hours a day.
Other people used their free time and sleep time to play the game, but her job was to play the game. For the early development of the guild, she devoted almost all of her time to the game.
If it was a traditional online game, she would probably have collapsed by now. However, because of the game pod, her body was in a sleeping state, so she could still hold on.
Of course, it was not good to sleep for too long. When Lin Mu came online, she would go offline and move around.
As for the adjustment of the flow of time …
24 hours a day became 4 hours. It was a bit scary when she thought about it.
However, on second thought, wouldn't it be equivalent to a day's salary, and she would only need to work for less than 4 hours to get it?
Qingyan touched her chin and then opened the external contact list to contact her boss. As for the reason? Of course, it was to use this incident to ask for a raise!
Who would dare to work for you if you don't increase their salary?
After using clever words to double the team's salary, Qingyan ended the call with satisfaction.
Although this salary would only last until the adjustment of the flow of time ended, it was enough to make her happy.
At this moment, she heard a commotion in the crowd.
She turned around and saw a white light shining in the direction of the teleportation circle. Some familiar and some unfamiliar figures appeared in the white light one after another.
Vice Dean Chrissy of the Elementalist College stepped out of the teleportation circle in her round leather shoes.
She looked around and then looked into the distance. After a while, the rims of her eyes turned red.
This was the original border of Roland. She had been here once, but that was five years ago.
Five years felt like a lifetime ago.
She remembered that time, Roland's army successfully pushed the border hundreds of meters away and found an ancient relic.
She received an order to lead a team to the border and was responsible for the exploration of the relic. She also brought back a lot of precious information and treasures.
That year, everyone was looking forward to the future of the Empire, full of hope.
However, after only one year, all of his dreams were shattered.
The beast tide broke through the border. The interstellar beasts ruthlessly destroyed countless people's homes and killed countless lives. They almost forced Roland into a dead end.
She fell into despair and couldn't see any hope for the future.
But today, she was back here again!
When Vice President Chris heard the consul say that the Brave Ones had built a city here, and that they hadn't given up after the Beast Tide and were still guarding this place, she couldn't believe her ears.
Could someone really build a city in such a dangerous place? However, when she thought about the Brave Warriors, she felt that maybe they could really create a miracle.
After coming here, she realized that she misunderstood. The city hadn't been built yet, and there wasn't even a foundation.
However, this was the logical thing to do.
This didn't change her impression of the Brave Warriors. When she stood here again, all kinds of complicated emotions surged in her heart.
Vice Dean Chrissy quickly calmed herself down when she heard the roars of the interstellar beasts outside the high wall. She came here this time for a mission!
There were more than 30 two-star elementalists who came with her. They came from the frontline army of the main cities. After receiving the order from the Emperor, they gathered here.
In the past, in the eyes of the players, they could only see the NPCs as "unfathomable". Now, they could see the NPCs' names and levels.
The highest level among the NPCs was only Level 26.
However, the aura and strength of these NPCs were completely different from the players. It wasn't just the difference in attributes, but also the murderous aura that was cultivated from years of killing on the battlefield.
There was no need for Vice Dean Chrissy to command. An elementalist already flew into the sky.
At this moment, the battlefield wasn't completely safe. Although the interstellar beasts outside the high wall couldn't attack for the time being, there were still flying interstellar beasts attacking from the sky.
The Wind Elementalist nimbly dodged the flying interstellar beast's attack. Then, he used Wind Control to directly change the airflow around the flying interstellar beast.
Once the airflow was messed up, the interstellar beast couldn't care less. It desperately flapped its wings, but it couldn't do anything but fall from the sky.
The players who watched this scene couldn't help but open their mouths wide.
It can be done like this!
They didn't have a good idea of how to deal with the flying interstellar beasts. They couldn't fly, but they couldn't hit either. It was a headache.
Now that they saw this move from the NPC, their eyes suddenly lit up.
At this time, while the flying interstellar beast was falling, the Wind Elementalist raised his eyes and looked outside the high wall. When he saw the scene outside, his expression suddenly became very serious.
He controlled the Wind Elementalist and descended from the sky.
His companions immediately surrounded him and asked him about the details of the situation.
"It's very difficult. We have to be prepared to evacuate at any time!" the Wind Elementalist said very seriously.
The Elementalists who came with the team couldn't help but become silent.
Could it be that the border was once again going to be handed over to someone else? When would the next time he would come here?
Although it was somewhat difficult to accept emotionally, the Elementalists still remembered their mission.
They were sent by the Empire not to fight, but to …
"Heroes, may I ask where your leader is?"
Vice Dean Chrissy asked a player. "We have received an order from His Majesty to come here and help the heroes improve their strength."
The super learning ability of the heroes had already spread among the Elementalists in Roland. Therefore, when they received such a strange order, the more than 30 Elementalists present were not surprised.
"Honorable Vice Dean Chrissy, I'm here!"
A female voice sounded, and the surrounding players separated to two sides and made a path.
Qingyan walked out from the crowd. When she faced the NPCs, she put away all of her casual attitude and became humble and respectful.
"I'm the commander of this battle. Qingyan, please advise me, Honorable Vice Dean Chrissy."
Seeing her, Vice Dean Chrissy nodded with satisfaction. She said, "Hello, Commander Qingyan. I believe you have already heard the reason why we are here.
"Please gather the warriors who need to improve their strength. We are willing to give our all to the warriors for the sake of victory in this defensive battle!"
The players looked at each other, and their eyes couldn't help but light up.
This was a teacher who delivered herself to their doorstep!
Wasn't His Majesty Xiao Luo too considerate?
They leveled up very quickly, but they didn't have the time to look for the NPCs to learn skills. They had no use for their Skill Points, which was very annoying.
Now, the problem was solved!
The crowd was boiling with excitement. Fortunately, Qingyan controlled the situation in time, and the 20,000 to 30,000 players didn't surround the 30 teachers.
However, it was difficult to arrange 20,000 to 30,000 players, especially when they were on the battlefield. The players had to stay at their posts and respond to danger at any time.
Finally, Qingyan numbered the thousands of meters of the defense line. Then, the teachers taught the skills section by section, ensuring that every player could learn at least one skill.
The teachers received the warmest welcome and the tightest protection. After all, if an NPC died, there was no way to revive. Therefore, the players would rather die than let the NPCs get hurt.
The time flow was still 1: 1, the forums were still synchronized, and the live streaming channels were still available.
When the players saw that the online players actually had teachers to teach them, the players who had to go to work and school suddenly became jealous.
[I just want to know, when I come online, will the NPC teachers still be there?]
[I don't think so.]
[Then I'll go to the academy to learn skills before coming back to defend the city!]
[It seems that learning skills in the academy are charged.]
[…]
That's right. Since the open beta, players had to pay to learn in the Elementalist College.
This was also set by Xu Sili.
After all, people often don't know how to cherish things that are too easy to get.
Moreover, this would encourage players to actively do Daily Missions and earn money, which would stimulate economic development and make Roland more prosperous.
As for today, it was a special situation, so naturally, there was no need to pay.
However, Xu Sili heard from his second brother that after the open beta, there was a new setting for Skill Points. Players needed to spend Skill Points to learn skills, unlike during the closed beta where they could learn skills without restrictions.
Even so, compared to the native Elementalists, the learning speed was already very fast.
Seeing that the teaching below was carried out in an orderly manner, Xu Sili smiled and took out materials to make cards again.
He was going to make a few more Balance Cards.
So far, the maximum number of players he could choose was 20,000. He couldn't add more than that.
However, using his cards, Qingyan could use the Balance Spell on an army of 30,000 players.
No matter how he looked at it, this card would definitely play a vital role in the war.
He would see if he could give it to his generals. If it was possible, then he wouldn't need to personally participate in every war.
In order to sit at the back and live a leisurely life, he had to make more cards to increase his card making speed.
Next, the flow of time in and out of the game was adjusted according to the announcement.
In order to prevent players from being overly addicted to the game, the game cabin would pop up a notification every once in a while. After a certain amount of time, players would be forced to go offline.
After the initial adaptation, the players came up with all kinds of strange tactics. For example, when the bosses were discussing how to deal with the Interstellar Beasts, they would choose to go offline to discuss in real life.
An hour of discussion in real life was only ten minutes in the game.
All in all, the Players managed to hold off at least ten million Galactic Beasts outside the borders of Roland for almost six days, with the highest number of players online at the same time numbering over 90,000 at the same time.
In just one more day, millions of new players would be able to come online!
Everyone was looking forward to it. However, on the day before that, the third line of defense of the Town of the Brave was lost.
There were too many Interstellar Beasts gathered outside the high wall. When the road ahead was blocked, the Interstellar Beasts started to kill each other. The commotion caused by them could be described as earth-shattering.
"Rumble — Rumble —"
As the earth shook, even the sky changed color.
The high wall that the players had bitterly held on for a few days collapsed in an instant. In the end, it collapsed under the bombardment of the Interstellar Beasts!
This was an unstoppable disaster. Even the players could only watch as it happened. Under the command of the commander, they evacuated as fast as they could.
The players who had always been successful finally tasted the taste of fleeing.
