Chapter 155: Melee in the city

"Start! Proceed as planned!" Seeing this change, the small forces and the players who had accepted the mission immediately reacted. They were all overjoyed. They could finally fight freely without any notification. They also knew the plan at this time. It was carried out in advance, and everyone shouted suddenly. It seemed that they had anticipated possible accidents and had prepared in advance. After all, the system's deductions were real-time, and it was impossible to exploit loopholes for a long time.

For a moment, the players running around the city suddenly took action. Killing sounds and screams suddenly broke out. These players were very cunning. They moved around the city in groups, using various buildings as hiding spots. They hid when they saw NPC soldiers from a distance, and they killed ordinary NPC civilians when they saw them. They even treated those shops as meat and potatoes. It was like bandits entering the city.

Of course, shops all have some defensive capabilities. Only larger gangs dare to do this. Most of the gangs just kill civilians indiscriminately, or rush into their rooms to snatch some materials. Each of them kills a lot of people. It's so enjoyable, this is unbelievable for righteous players. At this time, they don't care about any good deeds, merits, etc. Anyway, after joining this mission, they will definitely not be able to return to Shushan Five Elements Peak, so they might as well kill more Some civilians use their experience to rob finances, as long as they don't exceed the bottom line of the heavenly tribulation, it doesn't matter if they exceed it, it's just death anyway.

All these changes came too suddenly. Since NPC soldiers are generally concentrated in the city lord's mansion, although they have their own systems, their efforts to control the city have been greatly reduced. In addition to archers who can shoot players from time to time, those swords Soldiers and the like couldn't catch up at all. Players riding flying swords saw a larger number of NPCs, and they could escape very quickly, leaving the NPC soldiers helpless.

With this incident, the deputy city lord's expression changed drastically. Without the control of the city lord's palace, the city was almost out of control and could only rely on soldiers to maintain it. So after hesitating again and again, he transferred out the soldiers guarding the city lord's palace. Two brigades of 2,000 people marched to various parts of the city.

Ordinary players were going around burning, killing and looting, killing countless NPC civilians, and they seemed a little crazy. They hardly knew how to face NPC soldiers, and they would run away like rats when they saw them. The larger forces were eyeing those small shops. And so on, there are only a few big forces, relying on the magic weapon of numbers to attack NPC soldiers in smaller teams from time to time.

Although the number of NPC soldiers has an absolute advantage, it is impossible to concentrate the troops to maintain law and order in the entire city and protect the NPC civilians. And the deputy city lord is unwilling to leave the city lord's mansion. Maybe in his opinion, these riots are just Just trying to lure him away.

So in this way, on the surface, it seems that NPC troops are chasing players around the city, but in fact, the effect is not obvious at all. Instead, a large number of NPCs are slaughtered, and the lone NPC team is blocked by the players' forces.

These are not the main battlefields. The real key lies in the city gate. At this time, with the explosion of the third-level poisonous corpse, the entire city gate has been swallowed up by the poisonous swamp. There is a poisonous mist covering hundreds of meters, and the players are He unceremoniously threw all the Three Corpse Poison Mines into the NPC group. Although these things were powerful, they were too dangerous. Whoever held them would keep everyone away. And these few can still be kept until now. It was an anomaly, and it should have exploded long ago.

At this point, the players are still not satisfied. The corpses prepared at some point for the mission, as well as various low-level materials, all came out at once. Those NPCs haven't scratched their heads yet, seeing that they can't rush out from the gate, so they can only They retreated continuously, but after pushing forward and squeezing back, they rushed forward quickly. One after another, hundreds more soldiers were squeezed in. At this time, these corpses and materials had begun to be swallowed up by the poisonous swamp. The natural range of the poisonous swamp It also started to spread.

At present, these soldiers are not the third level of the city lord's mansion, they are only the first level, so the poisoned soldiers can hardly escape. Even if they run out of the poison swamp, they will soon fall to the ground under the effect of poisoning. The ground turned into black water and corroded the ground.

In this way, the lethality is extremely shocking. These NPC soldiers who rushed to the door with all their strength retreated and collided with their companions. Naturally, everything was in chaos. They didn't even want to save the allies outside the city. The players were not fools. At this time, naturally a large area Flying swords and the like take advantage of the chaos to attack.

Due to a series of changes, the number of soldiers on the city wall has become smaller and smaller. The current number has reached the edge of warning. The NPC captain who controls each section of the city wall no longer dares to send out soldiers easily, but can only rely on the long-range support of archers. , after all, their first task is to defend this city wall.

The players are not panicking at all. They have already thought about attacking these cities countless times. Now they finally don’t have to worry about the merits of the righteous path. Everything is going according to the arrangement. The protective magic weapon is in front of the players to defend themselves, and the level is the highest. The players' flying swords and some attack magic weapons were directly aimed at the few magicians on the city wall. This was what they were worried about.

Moreover, this place is still half of the player's main strength and has many magic weapons. As a result, there are no NPCs to attract foreign aid from the spearmen outside. In a short period of time, the spearmen outside lost their captain in the chaos. They were all killed by the players, not even one escaped, so the second city soldiers who came to help were also wiped out. This loss was much smaller than expected. I didn't expect that the NPC spearmen formed such a powerful formation. , once Chaos turned out to be so careless, sweeping the battlefield quickly, the poisonous swamp had swallowed up many corpses and their equipment had nearly doubled in size, and the players were also a little lucky, these NPCs were good, He knew how to escape from the poisonous swamp circle and die, otherwise these corpses might not be collected.

He quickly cleaned the battlefield and collected about 600 corpses. He immediately took the corpses to the city gate without hesitation.

The main force of the players is divided into two waves, and the main powerful magic weapons are also concentrated in the hands of these two groups. One wave is used to deal with the spearmen, and the other wave is used to defend the city gate. Now there is a poisonous swamp to guard the city gate. The interior is completely corroded, which is better than the players expected. At this time, the NPCs on the integrated city wall are bombarded. Since the number of these NPCs has reached the warning line, they are unwilling to leave the city wall and completely rely on the archers, which makes the players rely on them. Magic weapons and long-range attacks, which were already advantageous, quickly gained the upper hand.

The NPCs were so anxious that they didn't know how to act flexibly, so they stood firm because the deputy city lord had to be notified of the deployment of the number of soldiers who defended the bottom line on the city wall. After all, now that there was no control from the city lord's palace, it was not much more convenient to issue orders.

The players who had returned from victory outside the city quickly came to the city gate. These leaders were bachelors enough and directly ordered all the corpses to be thrown into the poisonous swamp. The poisonous swamp that began to devour these corpses also spread rapidly. Look up, there are more than 600 corpses.

Seeing this, the water attribute leader suddenly said: "I understand, the key to the perfect mission, the perfect requirement, assisting the city to be occupied and poisoned, this method is poisoning."

As soon as these words came out, other players also suddenly realized, and some even shouted excitedly: "How many poor NPCs are there in this city, enough to turn the entire city into a poisonous swamp."

"It's too cruel." Some players said, but they were immediately despised. After all, they were NPCs, not real people. , looking at everyone's eyes, he himself felt embarrassed. In the dream world, it is not about killing people. The right way is also a professional requirement. On the surface, they don't kill indiscriminately, but in fact, there are many players who kill evil people.

Looking at the rapidly expanding poisonous swamp, it has not only covered the entire ground at the gate, but also spread over an increasingly wider area. This is not something that NPCs who can only walk on the ground can cross, so they immediately discussed it and stayed here. A small number of players hid outside the shooting range of the archers, while the other main force rushed into the city. The main target was the civilians. Kill them all and throw them into the poisonous swamp. As long as there are enough corpses, I believe the area will be covered quickly. It will become wider and wider, closer to the goal of perfect mission, instead of wasting time here.

Although this group of people is not large in number, their strength and magic weapons account for more than half of the total player strength. Due to their sudden addition, the NPC troops moving around the city suffered. Players who had run away when they saw them suddenly appeared. A group of aliens, which gave them no time to be happy, were violently attacked, and their bows and arrows were blocked by the opponent's large number of magic weapons. If they were pursued, before they got close, the enemy stepped on the flying sword and left, and there were also people in the city. Due to the terrain restrictions, the formations that NPCs are good at cannot be used at all, and their unique battle formation skills cannot be used, which makes them quickly cannibalized.

The players are extremely flexible. Their original characteristics are high attack speed, fast speed, and the ability to fly. In this city, especially in the civilian areas, the sparrow tactics are brought to the extreme, just like soldiers with guns in hand against soldiers in armor, but speed is the key. It's so fast that the soldiers can't get close at all, which gives the players an absolute advantage.

Fortunately, there are many archers in the NPC army. After suffering losses again and again, the soldiers will protect the archers, the only companions who can hurt the enemy, behind them, and even use their bodies as flying swords. In addition, their With their numerical advantage, they formed small circular formations and slowly adapted to the player's attack method. They no longer had the complete disadvantage at the beginning. From time to time, players were shot to death by bows and arrows.

Of course, in this way, a large number of NPC civilians were killed and injured, and even the bodies were not left behind. This made it difficult for these NPC warriors to understand. By doing this, these players had shown that they had left Shushan Five Elements Peak, but they killed and injured these poor people. , although you can get some experience, it will consume merit and increase the sin value. This is very serious for the righteous players. Maybe it will also trigger a natural disaster? Are they planning to take refuge in evil ways? But what evil ways are there in this field? A half-dead beast stream? Are they all stupid?

, Of course, the NPC's guesses are just their thoughts, and the players don't care. At the beginning, they relied on the advantages of the tactics to kill many enemy soldiers and a large number of civilians. Later, the enemy soldiers gradually adapted to this style of play. Our own side also began to suffer increased losses, but this was when the NPCs gave up on civilians, which did not have the slightest impact on the mission of collecting corpses.

The information reached the deputy city lord's ears, which greatly surprised him. He did not expect that the number of players was not large, and they were only one-fifth of his own, but they could cause such serious damage in such a short period of time. Except for the necessary defense of the city wall, all other troops were unable to gain the upper hand and suffered serious losses. More than two thousand soldiers were now dead, not counting the casualties at the city lord's palace. In total, the city's ten thousand soldiers One-third of the soldiers had gone, close to 40%. This shocked him. The entire city was the key. Losing the city? He couldn't even imagine this.

Of course, these are also due to the City Lord's Mansion. If there were no changes here, relying on the City Lord's Mansion, all changes in the entire city would be under control. Naturally, it would be convenient to mobilize and issue orders at any time. They were not used to this kind of fighting method, so The order was not issued immediately, causing each NPC team to fight independently, leading to such losses.

After thinking about it, the deputy city lord still dared to hesitate and issued an order quickly. Based on inertia, the defense of the city wall must maintain the lowest cordon and cannot be completely removed. Although this is absolutely unreasonable from the player's point of view.

Only a thousand troops were left here, and they gave up the strategy of surrounding the city lord's palace. Instead, they tightly surrounded the gate, not giving the enemy a chance to fly through the mouth. They also prepared shields and distributed their subordinates around. Prevent that kind of helpless suicide poisonous explosion attack.

During the war at this time, as a large number of corpses were invested at the city gate, the poisonous circle became wider and wider. However, these players who transported corpses or attacked civilians also suffered a lot of losses due to continuous consumption. There is no way Yes, after all, the number of players is much less than that of NPCs.

The player leaders also knew that the enemies would not disperse like this after they reacted, so they had already gathered their strength and magic weapons, and were moving quickly in the city. Naturally, there were still players on alert in the air. They thought that because of the mission, this The city cannot activate its defenses, otherwise the five tall towers cannot be dealt with.

The city's archery towers only exist within the city wall. They have good shooting effects externally, but they have many restrictions internally. The five spires in the city are considered simple magic towers. They can launch strong attacks through the remote control of the city lord's palace. Although Because it absorbs the energy of space, it will take at least twenty-four hours after one strike, but the power and coverage area are definitely not something the players can bear. This is why the player's leader did not target the city at the beginning.

But as time went by, other small forces and scattered players killed and injured a large number of civilians and attacked a large number of enemy NPCs, but did not suffer any attacks. Even the magic tower showed no sign of being activated. They naturally thought of the City Lord's Mansion and this mission. , maybe this is the care of the task, otherwise it would be really difficult.

So the strongest team of players formed rushed into the city, trying to kill more people before the enemy gathered their troops. Of course, ordinary players did not have this qualification. Their mission was to kill civilians and throw them into the city. It is currently unknown how many corpses have been thrown into the poisonous swamp area. The poisonous swamp area at the city gate has covered a large area. The soldiers on the surrounding city walls have been isolated when they spread from the poisonous swamp. Although the city wall has not been corroded, The poisonous mist enveloped the city, and the NPC soldiers on the city wall had no choice but to be poisoned to death. Even so, they had no intention of evacuating, which opened the eyes of the players. Sure enough, they were NPCs. They were awesome enough, and they had already A plan was made, and the place where the corpses were found was also calculated. I believed that as long as there were enough corpses, there would be a poisonous circle on the entire city wall. Then all the soldiers on the city wall would be poisoned, making it much more difficult for foreign enemies to come in. Even if you can fly, you have to fly high enough.

Relying on the scope of the poisonous circle that has been completed so far, the player leaders already knew that they would be able to block the arrival of reinforcements within time, so they immediately launched an army attack. Attack is the best defense, especially in today's situation where corpses are needed. Down.

Although there were serious casualties, the NPC soldiers still had the absolute advantage on the surface. Several of their brigades were swimming around the city, looking for players. As soon as they found them, they would be covered by arrows, which made the players flee towards them when they saw them from a distance. Elsewhere, as for the small team-type NPCs, Khan, there is no one left at this time. The players are very good at bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

There were sounds of fighting in front, but more of them were screams. These sounds made the NPC soldiers' eyes turn red. Who would have thought that the evil Baishoujian back then would not dare to massacre civilians in the city, but these righteous Shushan Five Elements Peak It was actually done, and it was done with such fanfare and no scruples.

So naturally I didn't think much at this time. Thousands of large troops rushed towards me. This was not the first time. The players slaughtered the poor people. When they saw the large troops, they only ran away when they saw the large troops. However, there was no way to save them now. The archers had already With an arrow on the string, you will attack as soon as you see the enemy.

Soon they rushed to the corner, but this time it was obviously wrong. Before they could react to this turn, they were overwhelmed by flying swords mixed with various attack magic weapons, many of which were obviously of high rank.

The players were all hiding behind the buildings. This strategy was very suitable for them who did not need the formation bonus. At this time, all the main forces of the Five Elements Peak in Shushan were concentrated. Although the number was not as large as that of the opponents, they were able to fight at once. Caught off guard, all of this was premeditated. The defensive magic weapon was immediately deployed and blocked in front of him. The main target of all attacks was the opponent's magicians and archers.

The sudden attack immediately caused heavy losses to the NPC troops. This was not the same as the previous scene, but they still recovered in the shortest time and launched a counterattack under the order of the captain.

The player's magic weapon is extremely sharp, but the NPCs rely on their numerical advantage, especially the bonus of the formation and the skills they use together, such as volleys, etc., to exert a combat power that far exceeds their own. Except for the loss of the NPCs in the initial sneak attack. Not surprisingly, the back seemed to be slowly pulling back, but at this moment, the NPCs behind immediately became chaotic. It turned out that some players had circled the back. It seemed that they had been prepared for a long time, and they obviously knew the NPC formation. The bonus is great.

This time, the players took this opportunity to go all out, making the scene extremely hot.

If the number of players were not too small, they would definitely be able to win easily with the help of amazingly powerful magic weapons. However, although they now occupy the top points, players still fall to the ground from time to time. The sword cultivator's HP is too low, and he is completely exposed at this time. this weakness.

As time went by, a large number of NPCs became corpses, and nearly half of the players were lost. In particular, several third-level defensive magic weapons had a dim luster and might not be able to withstand several combined enemy combat skills.

But even so, if they fight to the death, I believe that the players can completely eat up this army, but in this case, most of the main forces of these players will probably be destroyed here.

The most important thing is that the expected goal was basically completed at this time. All the magicians in the NPC army were destroyed, and 80% of the archers were lost. So with an order, the players stepped back quickly with flying swords and controlled the defensive magic weapons. After breaking.

The players who attacked behind them quickly withdrew.

The NPC troops who were at a disadvantage pursued the players' troops instead. However, the players did not retreat blindly at this time. After retreating to a certain range, they attacked again. Those who had the strength to directly direct the magic weapons to attack in the air.

This stop-and-go retreat quickly consumes the strength of the NPC's troops. Even if the NPC understands, they are unable to completely withdraw. After all, the speed is not as fast as the players, so the players become cautious and slowly consume the enemy's strength.

"Boss! Sorry, most of the NPCs in the city lord's mansion are coming here! It won't take long for those troops to be stronger." With flying swords, the players can almost control the movements in the entire city.

As soon as these words came out, the leaders were shocked. They looked at each other and made up their minds.

"Before they arrive, capture this group of NPCs at any cost." The fire attribute leader was the first to speak, and he immediately won the support of two of them.

"Don't forget our purpose." The water attribute leader hesitated and said, which made the fire attribute leader very dissatisfied. Just as he was about to speak, the metal leader didn't speak much, but what he said was confirmed by the facts. The man who proved the importance finally spoke: "The scope of the poisonous swamp is almost the same. It doesn't make much sense to continue fighting. It weakens the strength. If there are changes, it will be dangerous. After all, the mission time has not yet come. I suggest that everyone stop gathering. In one place, we divide ourselves into small teams using defensive magic weapons and do our best to collect corpses. This is the key point, hoping to achieve a perfect mission ending."
