On the battlefield, the battle had reached its climax.
As expected, Feng Bujue's lie that they had cut off three-quarters of the enemy's troops was gradually losing its effect.
Although his words had indeed helped the royal army regain their morale for a period of time, in the face of the pressure of reality, it was difficult to maintain such mental strength for a long time.
Of course, most of the soldiers of the royal army were already mentally prepared for this.
They were not fools. From the very beginning, they did not completely believe Feng Bujue's words. Everyone knew that if the Redundancy Legion could open up the first Rumble Tunnel, they could naturally open up the second, third, and Nth batches. Even if Feng Bujue was telling the truth, the final result would not change, because the enemy's troops would continue to arrive sooner or later.
To put it bluntly, the soldiers only treated Feng Bujue's words as a 'placebo', just like how an incurable person would use morphine to relieve their pain. They accepted it, and obtained a temporary peace of mind.
"The enemy in the west has reached the city walls."
"Pumpkin Head's squad has been completely annihilated …"
"Vampire and Bigfoot's troops are about to collapse. The sweepers have injured their ancestor."
"Black Dragon Ancestor has been severely injured and is on the verge of death. He has transformed into his human form and is being sent to the Magic Emergency Room."
"The self-destructing Assault Team formed by the Goblins has completed their mission …"
One bad news after another was relayed to the command post, but the king was not there at all.
Mr. Hankey, who had rested for a while, had returned to the battlefield, and was almost single-handedly holding off the enemy in the south.
Indeed, there was no limit to his ability to control feces, but there was a limit to his stamina, and his ultimate skills had cooldowns. Under the attack of thousands of Redundancy Legion and three sweepers, even someone as strong as Mr. Hankey could only bitterly hold on.
Feng Bujue's companions had also entered the battle, and were scattered all over the place, fighting against the Redundancy Legion.
In the sky to the east, Dianhai King had transformed into the form of an Ancient Guardian Demon. It was like a giant bronze bell jar, combining physical and magical abilities to block the enemy's attacks.
In terms of combat power, among the few NPCs that Feng Bujue had met, Old Wang was the only one who had not lost any power in the war. Unfortunately, his power was incomplete.
Ever since he left the Door to the Void, Dianhai King had been in a "recovery period". His appearance represented the extent of his recovery. During S2, he still looked like a child. Now, he looked like a teenager. If he wanted to recover to his "prime" state in the previous era, he would have to wait until he looked like a middle-aged man.
To put it simply, Dianli King's' transformation 'was actually' overdrafting 'his strength. However, given the situation, he had no other choice …
Looking to the north of the city wall, Billy Brothers and Xiao Tan were fighting there …
To be honest, Billy Brothers could only play a limited role in this battle because they could only rely on Bill's close-range combat ability to kill the enemy. Even though Bill's combat power was good, and he could take down one enemy with just a few punches and kicks, in this large-scale battle where the enemy outnumbered them, his killing speed was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
On the other hand, Billy Brothers, who was good at 'illusion' and 'spirit', was helpless against the Redundancy Legion that had no self-awareness. If he still had his body, he could still use his psychokinesis to participate in the battle. However, the War Demon had destroyed this possibility two years ago.
As for Xiao Tan, his killing speed was much faster than Bill's.
After some exploration, Xiao Tan had figured out the various ways to kill the Redundancy Legion with one hit. His attack was a typical 'assassin' attack. He used the smallest price, the fastest speed, and the highest efficiency to kill the enemy instantly.
But … even so, relatively speaking, his efficiency was still very low.
In the face of the sea of Redundancy Legion that covered the sky like a dark cloud, this' one by one 'method was definitely not as good as AoE. This was obvious …
For example, if Mr. Hankey sent out a wave of feces and hit more than twenty enemies, five of them died and a dozen were injured … Even if those who were injured were ignored, he would still be able to kill five enemies in two seconds.
On the other hand, Xiao Tan and Bill's killing method was to move, attack, stop, look for the next target, move again, attack again … Not to mention that the enemies were not live targets. No matter how weak they were, they would still have some reaction. Even if the enemies were a group of live targets, it would be good enough to maintain the speed of killing one in four seconds.
In other words, using the 'one by one' method, it would take about twenty seconds to kill five monsters … This was ten times worse than Mr. Hankey's efficiency.
In fact, this was the biggest problem that the Monster Kingdom was facing in this battle …
In terms of individual strength, the royal army was definitely much stronger than the Redundancy Legion. In terms of 'one by one', as long as they did not go up against the sweepers, any of the royal army's warriors could win in a row.
But how long could this' winning streak 'last? Ten rounds was fine, but what about a hundred? A thousand? What if they had to face multiple Redundancy Legions at the same time?
This question was like 'how long could a thousand martial arts masters last against a million-strong army of the Imperial Court' … War was not a duel. In a large-scale battle, AoE attacks were much more important than the ability to fight alone.
Of course, AoE skills would definitely consume a lot of energy. If they could be used without limit, Mr. Hankey could single-handedly take on all the minions.
The battle had lasted from dawn until now. The royal army's groups such as the dragons (who relied on their body size and ability to spew magic), mages (who used AoE magic), Voidlings (a technological race that used plasma weapons) and other groups were basically at the end of their rope. Their stamina, mana, and energy … after such a long time, they were mostly used up.
At this moment, when another batch of Redundancy Legions appeared from the horizon, despair … finally descended once more.
After holding on for so long, when their physical exhaustion had reached its limit, they once again saw a large batch of Redundancy Legions reinforcements … This feeling was the last straw that broke the psychological barrier of the warriors.
They began to fear, not fear of dying … but fear of living, of living in this eternal night that was like purgatory.
"Don't give up!" However, amidst the sounds of despair, there was still a voice that said firmly, "As long as we can hold on until Feng Bujue returns, we can win."
As the voice trailed off, Xu Huai Shang's figure had already appeared on the western wall. Facing the line of defense that was about to collapse, she also showed her trump card — [Soul Advent].
