Chapter 99: Moment of Glory
Chapter 99: Moment of Glory (asking for monthly ticket)
The fierce battle at the Yuntian domain node has lasted for 2 hours.
During this period, the support forces of the terrifying black tide surged in from all directions.
The joint combat regiment has advanced to the vicinity of the Yuntian node, and has suffered continuous casualties during this period.
But after persisting till now, everyone knows that they are not far from victory.
During this period, a new evil spirit bred by the black tide gave Ye Xing, who was in charge of the combat command, a lot of headaches.
This evil creature looks like a big meat ball with legs, with a broad head and eyes sunken in a thick fleshy body. It has a huge pupil that emits a faint light, and a cracked mouth full of sharp fangs, emitting green mist and dripping with sticky saliva, which will instantly corrode into a charred piece if it falls to the ground.
The evil creature has thick and deformed lower limbs, no hands, and two small tumors on its back, which are covered with spots of mold and rotten flesh and emit a suffocating stench. When it moves, the two small tumors will continuously release green mist.
It can be called the source of infection of the action.
The players ahead have analyzed and posted the information about the new evil spirit on the small area chat channel.
[Black Tide Plague Ball]
Hunting Level: 12
Target introduction: Black Tide Evil, a low-level soldier of the Plague Department, can release plague poison fog in a range. Targets touched by the poison fog will suffer increased damage from the Black Tide corrosion, and will be accompanied by dizziness, nausea, and other negative states (the specific effect is affected by the physical fitness of the person in contact. The stronger the physical fitness, the lower the infection damage. Targets with a certain level of physical strength can be exempted from infection).
……
The plague ball condensed by the black tide can be called a tank killer.
The damage of Plague Corrosion is not high, but its effect is to weaken the defense of the front-line stone statue players, allowing the damage caused by the Black Tide Evil to be significantly increased.
Just like the common Debuffs in the game, once infected, the player's ability to withstand damage will be weakened.
This has frustrated the team's progress.
Stone players are the rock of the team. Their biggest role is to protect the normal operations of the players behind them and avoid being disturbed by external forces.
The most core abilities of the gargoyle player are strong physique and defense.
The poisonous mist released by the plague ball weakened the strongest attribute of the stone statue players, and the number of casualties during the advancement began to increase significantly.
Coupled with the continuous influx of new Black Tide forces, the battle is about to be dragged into a protracted war, which is what the Black Tide is best at.
To Ye Xing, who was in charge of the command, this was a sign of impending failure.
The gap in numbers is already huge. Once a protracted war breaks out, our camp will undoubtedly be defeated.
In the entire Emperor's Tomb Mountains area, the only force capable of fighting a protracted war with the black tide of evil by continuously sending out troops is the insect swarm.
The regular characteristics of the combat Zerg's collection of pheromones allow them to quickly breed new Zerg troops that are specifically designed to restrain the new Black Tide troops, even if they are temporarily at a disadvantage.
Just like the military unit that was created before to restrain the self-destructive characteristics of the ghost baby: Shieldwing.
Special troops such as Plague Balls will also be quickly developed into targeted troops when encountering a swarm of insects.
Perhaps it is a Zerg combat unit that can spit out dispersal energy and resist the spread of plague energy, or perhaps it is a Zerg combat unit that can absorb plague energy, and so on.
As long as the Zerg mastermind is given enough time to collect pheromones, combat units that can restrain the opponent's new arms will appear.
The feeling these two major forces gave Ye Xing was.
The Kuroshio has a huge arsenal of arms. As long as the intensity of the Kuroshio reaches a certain stage, you can enter the arsenal to select a life sequence combination, and then breed new arms that are suitable for the current Kuroshio intensity. This is true for every stage.
From the initial level 2-4 evil spirits to the current plague balls, the Black Tide's strength has been upgraded several times.
The same is true for the insect swarm on the other side.
As long as the Black Tide breeds a new type of soldier, it can collect the pheromones provided by the new type of soldier through battle, and then create a combat unit specifically to restrain this new type of soldier.
Without thinking about this problem too much, Ye Xing began to think about how to break the deadlock.
The advancement of the battle formation gradually slowed down, and he had to find a way to deal with these troublesome plague balls to ensure the advancement of the stone statue players.
"All the major guilds, please count the number of assassins and report to me, quickly!"
After hearing Ye Xing's instructions, the presidents of the major guilds decisively asked questions on the guild voice channel.
Soon, Ye Xing obtained the statistical data information.
When he found out that there were only 59 assassin players in the joint combat group, he couldn't help but frown, but still gave the order:
"All assassin players, activate Dusk Form and go into battle from both wings. Target: Plague Ball."
After the order was issued, the assassin players in the joint combat group set off one after another, turning into shadows and moving out from both wings at an extremely fast speed, approaching the main battle line where the fighting was the most intense.
At this time, Ye Xing also used his perception to lock onto the plague balls that appeared in front of him, then marked the location information of these plague balls and posted it on the small area chat channel, giving the assassin player precise coordinates.
"All assassin players, follow the location I sent and assassinate the plague ball closest to you."
"All magic players should switch to free attack mode. Use the Eagle-headed Demon Soul to guide the evil spirits in front of you. Don't hurt the assassin players who cut in from behind the enemy."
"The rest of the Gargoyle players should push forward to create assassination opportunities for the Assassin players. The Magic Defense players should move forward one line and try to release a light shield from a distance to protect the Assassin players from attacking."
New command orders were issued and the battle formation was rearranged according to Ye Xing's requirements.
With the continuous death of plague balls, the number of assassin players is also rapidly reduced.
This gave Ye Xing a headache.
The number of assassin players is really too small. There are at least hundreds of plague balls following the black tide, and new ones are being bred at any time.
Through perception and observation, it can be found that most of our assassin players have weak skills, and it is difficult for them to even exchange 1 for 1 when facing the surging black tide.
Among these assassin players, only Ashes of the Veteran Corps can easily roam across the front lines and launch precise assassinations, but he is simply unable to roam across the front lines with his personal abilities, and can only deal with the plague balls in some areas.
The advancement of the front line once again fell into a dead end.
On the first front, Stone Statue players can advance against the black tide. Their super high defense can exempt them from most damage, but their output efficiency is very low. Even if they get close to the plague ball, they cannot be killed in a short time and will soon be pushed away by the evil tide.
The weapon spirit players on the second front have very high output, but they cannot advance against the black tide. Their ability to withstand damage is far inferior to that of the stone statue players. They can easily fall down in the face of intensive attacks and find it difficult to get close to the plague ball.
In the magic flow, players with the eagle-headed demon soul can indeed achieve long-range precision guidance.
However, there are dense evil spirits protecting each plague ball, and it is difficult for the fireball to break through the meat shield defense formed by the black tide of evil spirits.
It would be great if we had the defense of a gargoyle and the output of a weapon spirit.
As soon as this thought came to Ye Xing's mind, he suddenly thought of a very popular post on the forum a few days ago.
It describes a combination of tactics to complement each other's shortcomings, which is called the mount flow by the player who posted it.
After reading the post, he felt that this combination was very reliable from a practical point of view.
The power generated is by no means as simple as 1+1 equals 2.
After complementing each other's shortcomings, the two players can fight together. Theoretically, if the soul level is the same, both players will have 3 star vein slots, and after combining, they will have the combat power of 6 star vein slots.
It can have both output, defense and mobility.
With an idea in mind, Ye Xing immediately spoke in voice:
"All the major guilds should quickly count the number of remaining monster players and report to me on the regional voice channel once the statistics are completed."
Two minutes later, Ye Xing saw the statistics and issued another order:
"All monster players retreat to the third line, and the weapon spirit players in the middle of the first line (map mark) also retreat to the third line."
"Go to the front line with your magic defense, use your shield to block the enemy, and buy me as much time as possible."
The battle formation changed again under Ye Xing's command.
The magic defense player with the binding + light shield soul came to the first row and resisted the fierce attack of the black tide by condensing the light shield.
But it’s different with the Gargoyle players.
The magic defense flow requires the consumption of mental energy in combat. Even if it can condense a light shield to form a defensive barrier in a short period of time, this time will not be very long.
While waiting, monster and spirit players gathered on the third front.
Ye Xing, who saw this scene through his perception perspective, took a deep breath and then said in a deep voice:
"I know that the following orders are a little difficult for many who choose the Monster Stream to accept, but we are only one step away from victory. How can we be willing to give up at this time? I believe that you all have the same idea as me, so for the final victory, I beg all Monster Stream players to make sacrifices... After this battle, every Monster Stream player will come to me for cash compensation. Thank you for your efforts."
After saying this, Ye Xing's tone suddenly increased:
"All weapon spirit players get on the backs of the monster players and prepare to charge at the black tide!" After hearing Ye Xing's order, although the monster players felt helpless, Ye Xing had already lowered his posture to the lowest level.
The most important thing is that they have already invested a lot of resources and energy in this battle, so how could they be willing to give up now?
In the face of victory, they did not complain and chose to obey Ye Xing's orders.
On the contrary, the melee players who chose the weapon spirit flow could not hide their joy on their faces, and they all jumped up to their good brothers, or other people's good brothers.
Through perception and observation, it was confirmed that the monster players and weapon spirit players in the third battle formation had been paired up. Ye Xing issued another order:
"The third line switches to the first line and prepares to charge."
Suddenly, players riding on monster forms such as Black Armored Snakes and Roaring Bears advanced towards the first front line, while the magic defense stream that was struggling to maintain the light shield barrier on the first front line retreated to the second front line.
"Look at the coordinates I marked in the small area chat channel. All monster players, charge!"
The order was given, and the cavalry combination on the first front advanced forward with tremendous force, aiming directly at the plague ball hiding in the black tide.
Super high mobility + the powerful body of a single soul of the monster flow + the high melee output of the weapon spirit flow, the lethality after the combination of the mount flow is far stronger than Ye Xing expected.
The advancing first front was like the breaking of dawn, and despite the violent suppression of the evil black tide, it turned into a forward torrent.
During this time, players in the team and guild voice channels kept shouting:
"Fuck, this is awesome, this combination is truly invincible."
"I really want to bind myself to the brother under me and let him be my mount in the future, but I dare not chat with him privately, for fear that he will turn around and bite me."
"It's awesome! The mount is the best combination for the Star Vein. It would be perfect if the Star Vein slot could be equipped with a monster player. When I want to use it, I can use the characteristic summon. It's the best combination that melee fighters dream of."
"I got addicted instantly. I envy the players who have good friends who ride monsters. If I have a friend who rides monsters, I will grind him to death and make him my mount no matter what."
"Fuck you, you bastard riding on my back. Just shout 'fight' again. If it weren't for the face of the God King, you would not be able to ride on me... The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I'll bite you to death after the battle. You really think you are a knight, don't you?"
"This was the most frustrating time playing a monster style, but I endured it for the sake of victory. I felt like crying."
"Hold on tight, you idiot on my back. The monsters ahead are quite dense. I'll use my Roar to clear the field. Don't blame me if you get thrown away by me."
……
The strength of a single soul in the monster flow is far greater than that of players who develop multiple souls in the early stage.
Their strong physical fitness plus the violent output of the weapon spirit players tore open a gap for the battle formation to advance forward.
The plague ball that was still spewing poisonous mist became the knights' primary target, and after getting close to it, they launched a fierce combined attack.
This wave of charge instantly relieved the pressure brought by the plague balls. A large number of plague balls were killed, and the poisonous fog dissipated with the wind over time.
Ye Xing also issued new orders at this time, and the speed of the joint battle formation's advance towards the corrosion core suddenly increased.
At this time, the distance to the corrosion core is less than 150 meters.
The battle to purify the node has entered its final frantic moments.
Twisted vines kept rising from the ground, cutting into the back row and stirring wildly, trying to disrupt the battle formation under Ye Xing's command.
Faced with the increasingly chaotic situation, Ye Xing dispatched some of the weapon spirit players in the front to retreat and be responsible for protecting the output endurance of the magic players.
The battle has been going on for nearly three hours, and the Joint Operations Group has lost nearly half of its players.
In the early stages, new players would resurrect from Tezuka Village and rejoin the battle.
However, as the battle progresses to the vicinity of the Corrosion Core, even if the players whose resurrection cooldown has ended return, they will not be able to join the ongoing battle.
Because the entire battle formation has been completely shrouded in terrifying black fog, cutting off the retreat route.
The remaining players never thought of retreating. Facing the approaching Corrosion Core, they thought that the worst that could happen was that they would be locked up in a small dark room for an hour after their death.
In the final sprint stage, Ye Xing chose to let the magic players start the krypton gold strategy.
Under his command, players on the magic front continued to summon shadow clones, launching charges by self-destructing the clones, trying to tear apart the twisted plants in front of the corrosion core that almost blocked the line of sight, and open up a path to victory.
15 minute later.
As the corrosion core ruptured, flesh and blood splattered everywhere, and the originally mottled node crystals underground were covered with a layer of scarlet energy.
A pitch-black space vortex was generated and expanded with the node crystal as its center, as if it was going to swallow up the entire earth.
The challenger prompt also popped up in the minds of all players:
[Challenger Tips (All Channels): All tasks "Purify the Yuntian Field Node" have been completed. Rewards are distributed according to campaign contributions as follows]:
Contribution Ranking:
First place: I am the law (reward: 5x5 spiritual fields)
Second place: I only play as a mage in my life (reward: 5x5 spiritual fields)
Third place: Sword to the Sky (Reward: Spiritual Field 5x5)
……
Along with the system prompt sound, the honor album appears in the sight of all players and automatically turns pages.
Page 1: Dark Cave Battle.
Page 2: Battle of the Demonic Pit.
Turning to the third page, a clickable battle video appears on the originally blank page. Screenshots are constantly inserted into the highlight moment column on the right side of the album and are permanently recorded. The end time of the battle is displayed at the bottom.
Along with the endless cheers from the audience, Ye Xing's slightly hoarse voice sounded in the small area voice channel:
"Brothers, after 3 hours and 12 minutes of hard fighting, we finally won."
"It is my great honor to be elected as the commander of the United Front in this battle and to fight side by side with you. I would like to thank every brother who participated in the battle. It is your efforts that built our unstoppable battle formation, and it is your tacit cooperation that made the tactical layout perfectly executed. In this battle, we are not only teammates, but also each other's strongest backing. Together, we have written another battle chapter that will be permanently recorded."
"In the days ahead, we may face more unknown forces, insect swarms, evil spirits, and endless challenges waiting for us to conquer. I firmly believe that as long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome. Thank you again for your trust in me, and let us look forward to the next glorious moment of fighting side by side. Thank you!"
Ye Xing's words brought the emotions of the players present to a climax.
Even those players who were scolded by Ye Xing during the battle had to admit Ye Xing's contribution to this battle.
The sense of accomplishment gained after overcoming difficulties and obstacles and completing the challenge is like warm sunshine, penetrating into the hearts of every player.
The tired but satisfied figures hugged each other to celebrate, everyone was cheering, and the afterglow of victory flowed in their hearts.
Mission rewards are also distributed at this time.
For players who rank in the top 1000 on the contribution list, there will be an additional spiritual field in the function panel, and they can purchase spiritual plant seeds from the mall for planting.
Each type of seed has a marked maturity time.
The higher the level of the spiritual plant, the larger the area of spiritual field it needs to grow, and the longer it takes to grow.
Some special spiritual plants require additional growth care from players, and answers to these questions can be obtained by consulting the guidance clone.
At the same time, the area of Dizhong Village, which swallowed up the Yuntian domain node, began to expand, accommodating more players to move around in Dizhong Village.
This is also a very important project in Qi Sheng's eyes.
There are two reasons for limiting player recruitment progress.
The key is the sacrificial power inventory. Each player needs to consume 1000 points of sacrificial power to initialize the body. 1000 players means an expenditure of 100 million sacrificial power.
The second is the scale of Tezuka Village.
The larger the area, the more players it can accommodate.
If the size of Teizuka Village was the same as when the server was first launched, it would not even be able to accommodate the current number of players.
After a collective death and synchronized resurrection, the entire Teizuka Village would be plunged into a crowded state, and the roads leading to the outside world would be completely blocked.
Therefore, every time the Dizhong Village expands, it is expanding the space for new players to settle in.
When the number of players exceeds 100,000, Qi Sheng even plans to establish multiple resurrection areas in Dizhong Village, as well as multiple exits to the outside world.
Ensure players a smooth gaming experience.
