They had made ample preparations for this wave of attack. The suicidal charge that Unsworn Sword led was not in vain. With reference to Reigning the World's experience, the formation of this charge was quite spread out. They would rather have a portion of the players not squeeze onto the battlefield than give themselves an advantage over the catapults on top of the city wall.
Going against the flow, a chain of fireballs shot into the sky, and the charge began. As expected, the system was still the same as before. Once they were within that distance, the rock throwing began, and the boulders began to fall. However, the players were already prepared. They stared at the sky and used their eyesight to pick out the boulders one by one, and calmly dodged them.
Of course, accidents were inevitable, but compared to the first time when a boulder fell and turned into a pile of white meat pancakes, this time was much better. Everyone even felt that the boulders were no longer a threat.
Due to the fact that they were scattered, the crowd did not look as turbulent as before, but they were still charging forward at a very fast speed. The guild leaders in the team were all very excited. Before the battle, everyone vowed to take down the world with one strike.
As the distance closed, the catapults began their mutated attack, and gravel rained down like rain. Although this attack did not deal as much damage as the boulders, it still smashed the players into a sorry state. Firstly, there was no way to dodge, and secondly, the boulders that were as big as their faces were smashed into their faces from a high altitude. They had to leave some kind of memento!
"Use the boulders as cover, and pay attention to hiding!!" Unsworn Sword instructed in the guild leader's team channel. There were around eight hundred guild leaders, and even if they formed a team, they wouldn't be able to form that many people. However, there was no need to worry, they just had to form a few more teams. The team that Unsworn Sword was in was basically an elite guild in Cloud City. Gu Fei and Sword Ghoul were watching the former Top 100 Guild Rankings. Most of the current leaders of the Top 100 Thugs were in Unsworn Sword's team. They were the main force for this assault.
Everyone had foreseen this scene, and even without the reminder from the Sword of No Oath, they humbly learned the experience gained from being cannon fodder in the Four Seas, so they all hid behind the boulder, bruised and swollen. There were a lot of people charging in, and the boulder really couldn't protect so many people. However, the number of people participating in the battle was just right. Everyone took what they needed and provided cover. From the perspective of Cloud City, the huge battlefield was filled with people just now, but in the blink of an eye, it was all gone. It was amazing.
"Everyone, be careful! The Stealthed Assassins are coming!" Unsworn Sword reminded.
Many of them were cursing in their hearts, "Nonsense." Everyone had seen all of this with their own eyes, and there was no need for Unsworn Sword to remind them. Right now, there was a group of people hiding behind each boulder. There were people of all classes. Let alone one Assassin, even if there were a few of them, they wouldn't be afraid. A team with a reasonable combination of classes would have a relatively easy time fighting an army of a single class.
The gravel continued to fall, the System not caring about the ammo at all. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the hidden assassin to appear. A few players with anti-stealth skills or equipment all used their own methods, hoping to gain the upper hand.
But … no! Previously, Reigning the Four Seas had lost to this wave of Assassins, but now that they were prepared, these Assassins were unwilling to appear.
"Why aren't they coming out?" The players whispered to each other. A voice came from the guild leader's party channel, "Guild Leader Unsworn, why aren't the Assassins coming out yet?"
Unsworn Sword was quite depressed. When he said a few words, everyone complained that he was talking about things that everyone already knew. Now that he wasn't saying anything, everyone was asking him what was going on. But how would Unsworn Sword know? He was just here to be cannon fodder, it wasn't like he had scouted the System's brain. He could only helplessly say, "Let's wait and see. Everyone be on guard. "
And so, after a few minutes, the situation was still the same. The Stealthed Assassins couldn't be seen at all.
"Cough … It's probably because we have too many people this time, so it's not convenient to send Assassins!" Unsworn Sword said.
"F * ck … how can that be?" The guild leaders didn't believe it.
"What do we do now? Do we continue charging or what? "
The players were hiding behind the boulder to free up their hands to deal with this wave of Stealthed Assassins' sneak attack. Otherwise, with the support of a large number of Priests, the players would still be able to charge through the boulder attack. Once they took a short step, the Catapult's attack would also stop.
The pitiful information that Reigning the Four Seas' cannon fodder had obtained was quickly used up. The players had basically passed the Catapult's stage. As for those Stealthed Assassins, no one knew if they would suddenly appear in the next second. Seeing that things weren't as they had imagined, many people's hearts began to beat faster. Their initial courage to charge forward was gone. To charge forward bravely, one needed a direction, and now there was no one to point them in.
"What are you afraid of? Charge!!!" Some of the players' blood hadn't cooled yet.
"Let's wait and see?" Some of the players' blood hadn't even heated up yet.
"Still waiting? If we wait any longer, this boulder will be smashed into pieces by them. "Someone said. The rubble continued to fall onto the boulder, making loud bangs. The players hiding behind the boulder could feel the boulder shaking from the impact. Even a drop of water could pierce through a boulder, not to mention the continuous impact. Who knew when this boulder would collapse, and when that happened, another boulder would replace it, turning all the players hiding here into pancakes.
Sword without Oath and Against the Current, the two players vying to become the leaders of Cloud City, didn't make a sound. This was a difficult time! This was the moment when the quality of a leader was reflected. Everyone was out of ideas, and they would listen to you as soon as you gave the order. But this also meant that if you made a correct judgment, you were wise; if you made a wrong judgment, you were an idiot.
No one was willing to be an idiot. Moreover, in this situation, there was no judgment at all. It was just a blind guess. If you made a wrong guess, you would be an idiot.
Sword without Oath and Against the Current were both smart people. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to lead their guilds to this extent. Therefore, at this crucial moment, the two hesitated at the same time. They each looked for someone they trusted to discuss. "What should we do?"
In the end, they all had their own ideas. Some suggested retreating first. "Let's challenge them again and carry out a wave of probing attacks to thoroughly understand this system." This was the opinion of the conservative party.
"I suggest charging. Even if we retreat now, no one can say if it's the right move, so it's not a smart idea. Why don't we take a gamble and charge forward. If we can get an advantage, it'll be the right move. If we can't get any advantage, we'll at least learn more about the system and not die in vain." This was the opinion of the gambler party.
"Let the trash charge first, let's see." This was the opinion of the party that didn't treat the noobs as humans.
Everyone had their own opinions. The two guild leaders couldn't come up with a decision. In the end, someone in the guild leader channel exploded. "F * ck, should we advance or retreat? Why isn't anyone saying anything? F * ck, you guys might be afraid, but I'm not. I'll charge first, if you want to, follow me. "
The overall situation was broken by such an inexplicable person. This person was also a guild leader with hundreds of troops under his command. With a call in the guild channel, many people jumped out from behind the boulders. This guild leader had a heroic temperament, but he was not a hot-blooded Priest. He also wanted to shoot fireworks into the sky like Against the Current, but he didn't have that skill, so he could only shoot a Holy Ball into the sky. The glowing white ball flew into the sky and floated for a few steps before being blown away by the wind. Almost no one saw it, but many people jumped out from behind the boulders. This was real.
"Brothers, charge!!"
This guild leader waved his staff and roared, but was met with a rock. This guild leader was really a tough person. He spat out the rock that had smashed into his mouth and used a healing spell on his face. Then, he puffed out his chest and relied on his healing to walk forward.
If a Priest really took the hit, he wouldn't be able to take it. It wasn't just a problem of limited mana. If the rock hit the body, it would interrupt the skill, so he had to find time to cast the healing spell. It was extremely demanding on his awareness, technique, and time. This guild leader's stubbornness was mainly to create an official image and boost everyone's morale.
As expected, his actions made his guild members feel proud. Some who hadn't completely jumped out from behind the boulders couldn't help but turn around to show off to the players from other guilds. "See that? Our guild leader is a real man!"
"Kill!!" Under the encouragement of their guild leader, the players of the guild all charged out. The Priests, under the cover of the Warriors and other classes with thick skin, healed their comrades who had been hit. Everyone braved the storm of rocks and charged forward.
Soon after, the second, third, and fourth guilds were infected. One after another, people rushed out of the boulders and charged forward with the same attitude.
The stalemate was finally resolved, but Unsworn Sword Against the Current and the others did not feel good about it. This was the benefit of not having to worry about anything! This guild leader clearly didn't have the attitude of a leader like the two of them. He wouldn't worry about a mistake in judgment that would damage his image. He was hot-blooded and did things based on his instincts. He didn't rely on orders, but on his own actions to infect others.
"Sigh, you should've done this earlier!!" Unsworn Sword slapped his thigh in frustration, sighing because he didn't think of this move.
Against the Current didn't feel this way, because this move didn't suit him. He was a Mage. If he jumped out, he would be smashed in two or three hits. He wouldn't even be able to finish a sentence! Even if he had a Priest with him … he would speak, rocks would be smashed, and the Priests beside him would be busy like dogs … his momentum was completely gone.
In any case, more and more guilds were rushing out, and no one bothered to ask the two bosses what they meant. In the end, even the two guilds were getting restless and asking for permission to fight. "Guild leader, let's go!"
"Go!" Unsworn Sword immediately ordered. He was waiting for someone in the guild to suggest it! Otherwise, if he gave the order, it would seem like he was infected by the little guild leader. How embarrassing would that be!
"Charge!!!"
As these two big guilds joined the battle, the other guilds who were watching on the sidelines didn't hesitate anymore and charged out. The team charged forward against the rocks. Some people would fall in the process, but it didn't matter. A large number of people would quickly catch up. This was a strategy that had been discussed long ago: Rely on infinite resurrections to drag down the system.
"Brothers, it's usually the system that bullies us. Today, let's kill them!!!" Someone shouted in the middle of the charge. Everyone who heard it agreed that it was a good idea and agreed.
The players were finally able to withstand the fierce attack of the gravel wall. The armored warriors with excellent equipment were right in front of them, and they were already taking powerful strides towards the players.
"Now's the time! Everyone, charge! Tear open a path! We'll talk after we enter the gate!!! " Someone shouted. Others responded. The players pounced on the guards. Tens of thousands of close combat battles unfolded in the vast wilderness in front of the north gate of Cloud City.
"What's the difference between this time and the last?" Under the north gate, Gu Fei and Sword Demon watched the battle from the doorway. In Gu Fei's eyes, there was no difference between this battle and the previous one. The players had been quietly planning for so long. Why was it still like this?
"No, there's still a difference. Look! " Sword Demon pointed. "Here, there, and over there, there are people waiting. They didn't swarm forward, but went into battle one by one. These three points are definitely connected to the resurrection point. The people who come out of the resurrection point won't immediately rush into battle. They will regroup here, wait, observe, and enter the battle in a regular pattern. They want to pull this battle into a cycle. The players will constantly die and resurrect to fill the cycle and exhaust the system. "
"The system won't spawn new recruits?" Gu Fei asked.
"I don't know yet, but this tactic can at least enter a stalemate with the system and then adjust according to the specific situation. This is quite reasonable," Sword Demon said.
"Actually, there aren't just three. Look, there's another one over there!" Gu Fei pointed at the fourth spot on the battlefield.
In fact, Sword Ghost had already noticed this a long time ago. After a moment of silence, he said, "That area is for cannon fodder. I can see that they've placed the weaker players in that area. That area probably won't cause much damage to the system. They're just relying on their numbers to hold back some of the system's forces. The deciding factor is these three areas. "
"You can't say that. If they can't hold back the system's forces, and the system guards are freed up, I think these three areas will be very ugly, right?" Gu Fei said.
"But the problem is that they don't have any combat skills. They just keep going up to die. As long as they run more diligently, there's no reason for accidents to happen," Sword Demon said.
"That Thief and Archer are really unlucky. After the Warrior and Priest die once, they'll probably die two or three times." Gu Fei sighed.
As the two were chatting, Little Ray was pushing the goods out again. When he saw the two of them, he naturally stopped and chatted for a while. In front of them, tens of thousands of players were fighting with their lives on the line, while the three of them were chatting merrily, creating a very heartless scene.
"You two busy yourselves, I'm going." After chatting for a while, Little Ray pushed his small cart and went to deliver the goods. Gu Fei was worried at this time. "This Sword of No Oath is really nowhere to be found."
"Yeah, they're not even waving the flag." Sword Demon nodded. Before, the players didn't know what to do and wanted to raise the flag to make their guild famous. Only after entering the battlefield did they realize the seriousness of the situation. How could they still have the mood to play around with these things? They were all focused on killing the enemy.
"In this vast sea of people, even if we sneak in to find it, we don't know when we'll find it." Gu Fei said.
"How troublesome, even the Windchaser Emblem is useless." Sword Demon also tried the Windchaser Emblem, but at this special time, it wasn't counted as a wanted quest.
"If only I could send a message to Yutian." Gu Fei was filled with emotion. He missed the days of having spies.
This sentence reminded Sword Demon. He slapped his forehead and said, "This city war is mainly against people with guilds. Then what role do you think those without guilds are playing?"
"Those without guilds, doesn't that mean they don't have a role?"
"If they don't have a role, then they aren't considered enemies or me. Why can't I send a message?" Sword Demon said.
"Who are you talking about?" Gu Fei asked.
"Brother You! Brother You doesn't have a guild, so why is he considered an enemy force that can't send messages? Then what about him and these guys outside? Are they also enemies? "Sword Demon said.
"This, this …" Gu Fei felt that this was a bit confusing and confused.
"In any case, I've tried to send a message to Brother You, but I can't send it." Gu Fei said.
"I've also tried. Could it be that Brother You, without guilds, is classified as a third party force and can't communicate with either of us?" Sword Demon said.
"Then it shouldn't be written as enemies!" Gu Fei said.
"How about we find Brother You!" Sword Demon said.
"How do we find him?" Gu Fei was at a loss.
"He's still in the game at this time. Other than leveling in the wild, what else can he do? I know where he's leveling." Sword Demon said.
"Even if we find him, what can we do?" Gu Fei asked.
"I just suddenly feel that this third party force might have some tricks." Sword Demon said.
"Okay, then let's go find Brother You!" Gu Fei nodded.
It wasn't hard for the two of them to sneak out. They covered their faces and squeezed into the chaotic battle. Either side wouldn't attack them anyway. The main reason they covered their faces was because they were afraid that someone would recognize them. If their identities were exposed, the two of them firmly believed that the Han Family Young Master wouldn't be kind enough to help them hide their identities.
The two of them quickly passed through the chaotic battlefield. Gu Fei even tried to coincidentally bump into Sword Without Oath. If he didn't bump into Sword Without Oath, he could bump into Time Reflected! In the end, he could only be disappointed.
Sword Demon couldn't be more familiar with the leveling area in Cloud City. He quickly brought Gu Fei to the area where Brother You often leveled. On the day of the city war, the leveling area seemed a bit deserted. Although the players who didn't play the city war had nothing else to do besides leveling, if they had nothing to do, they could choose not to play! Games weren't everything in life.
Sword Demon looked for Brother You one by one in the leveling area. Gu Fei was unrestrained and shouted: "Brother You, Brother You, are you there!"
"Who's calling me?" Behind a tree, a person held a small book in one hand and a pen in the other. He twisted his body and poked his head out.
