Judging from the approximate location, the place where the holy light exploded was the public area of the royal city where the arena is located. It is open to all NPC officers, player adventurers and low-level civilians. It is a place where many public facilities are gathered, close to the royal city.
Built together, it is the most lively place in the royal city.
However, Liu Yifei and Xue Lan are currently located in the second half of the core main urban area of the royal city. Of course, the originally magnificent spire buildings and various mage councils have been destroyed beyond recognition~
When the royal capital's garrison failed to react in time, they were beaten upside down by the Dragon Queen's raiding legion. Except for the slight gains made by the automatic-firing city defense turrets, the black dragons were almost ravaging a completely defenseless blank area -
—So the appearance of the main city at this moment can only be described as horrific!
A large number of collapsed stone buildings, various abandoned and burning recruiting buildings with black smoke rising into the sky, and various large and small alchemy laboratories where various explosions still occurred from time to time.
In just a short period of time, the destructive hurricane rolled up by the black dragons almost completely plowed through the entire royal city, and a large number of meteors, fire showers, meteorite clusters and cluster fireball bombardments that fell from high altitudes destroyed any area that had just emerged at that time.
A small group of city defense troops bombarded and killed them on the spot!
On the way out of the city behind "Time", Liu Yifei saw corpses scattered all over the place.
Some were crushed to death by collapsing buildings and smashed into meat patties, some were burnt to ashes by the flames and shrank in the corners of the wall, and many more corpses were produced for unknown reasons in the chaos.
This is a hell, a hell that the death storm has just swept through!
Apart from despair and death, all that is left here is smoke and ruins
"brute!"
He kept his body short and carefully stepped over half of the corpse on the ground. If Liu Yifei saw it correctly, he and Xue Lan had just seen the "lower body" of the corpse dozens of meters away on the other end of the road about ten seconds ago.
And the same corpse would be so far apart. There are obvious tear and bite marks on the waist. It is impossible except that it was bitten off by the black dragons who caught him in the sky.
The power of dragons has always been self-evident, but their bloodthirsty and murderous nature also makes this giant magical beast full of destructive power and bloody rage when fighting like a terrifying beast in the wilderness! And the black dragon is one of them.
The leader of the army, there is a phenomenon of eating target units alive from time to time during battles. These red-eyed flying lizards are now playing the role of killing evil spirits in this hell that has descended on the mortal world~
However, every time he saw another scene of suffering and ruin, the anger in Liu Yifei's heart became even more intense!
The sadness and sourness of Saranovi that he had seen before, combined with the burning anger in his heart at this moment, made Liu Yifei really want to rush forward and fight the arrogant black dragons in the sky for three hundred rounds!
However, the last trace of reason in my mind is also struggling to suppress my impulse~
Although the Fengyun King's capital has been able to escape from the initial unpreparedness and passive beating, the royal army is large in scale and most of them secretly gather outside the capital to protect the safety of the capital. In such a hurry, these most elite combat forces cannot be summoned back. Therefore,
this
The counterattack firepower in the Royal Capital is still provided by the local guard troops. In addition, war machines all over the city have also opened fire frequently, and countless players entrenched in the Royal Capital have also reacted to the initial chaos and begun to consciously join in.
The battle to protect the royal city is underway.
Nowadays, the strength of players is increasing day by day, especially with the "semi-opening" of the secret lands of various races a while ago, which has made the strength of the elite members of the player group grow by leaps and bounds!
And this kind of thing can never be blocked once it is opened.
In addition to more and more players flocking to racial secret realms to form groups for crazy leveling, some powerful players are also returning to the main material world as core members to drive other team players to speed up the pace of improvement!
The boss that could not be defeated before now finally has a main player with strong power. With everyone's efforts, the boss that seemed to be unparalleled in the past is no longer invincible!
At the same time, some tasks with high combat difficulty also began to be solved quickly, and what followed was an astonishing increase in wealth and strength!
A whole set of invisible "chains" has already been formed in this virtual reality world, and changes in any one of them may cause major changes to the whole!
Compared to a month ago, everyone’s entry into the country during this period was even faster than expected!
There is one big difference between the players of the tower clan and the players of other races.
That is the day when they have become accustomed to roaring and charging at the enemy amidst artillery fire and gunpowder smoke!
Even if they are faced with death, even if they know that their own strength alone is not enough to change the collapse of the situation, they have learned to be brave and strong after all!
A home that is on the verge of being broken may make the people living there feel pain and hesitation, but those unyielding souls will eventually learn to be strong in the cruelty, and then learn to adapt after being strong~
Everyone learned how to lower their body and move faster to get closer to the enemy quickly;
Everyone learned how to use the small space to move quickly while hiding in a simple bunker between battles;
Everyone has learned how to put cheap and abundant wooden puppets, stone men and other alchemical biological troops in front, and then let the players follow behind to cover the charge.
It can be said that the players of the Tower clan are now stronger than the players of other clans!
Not only are you strong in equipment, skills and levels, but more importantly, you are strong in consciousness and spirit!
They faced the most brutal war without escaping and being caught off guard. Then they grew up rapidly in this test!
But this time the royal capital was attacked, it actually brought glory to the player community!
In the first ten minutes of the sneak attack, the NPCs had no time to respond in time. [NPCs actually have many natural "flaws" compared to players, such as issuing orders to the army. They are far less than players who only need to enter the territorial army interface.
Entering the command is so simple, they don’t even have to
There are instant communication methods. Unless very advanced NPCs can use methods such as "heart-to-heart communication", they can only communicate face-to-face, so raids are very effective for the NPC army], and in Fengyun King's capital
The assembled player troops showed amazing war qualities!
A large number of players who were stranded in the city at that time were no longer as embarrassed as they used to be when encountering high-level battles. They knew that their strength might not be enough to cause a fatal counterattack to the enemy. But they had to resist! At least they had to attract the enemy's firepower! That's it.
Only then can we buy our own elite NPC army time to respond!
And we must also prevent the enemy from launching a pressing pursuit when they see the troops inside the city beginning to gather!
Countless players who were close to the city wall rushed to the city wall immediately, grabbing or cooperating with the NPC defenders to use war machinery to launch a counterattack!
A large number of city defense crossbows erected on the capital city are basically level five or above, and their starting range reaches an astonishing five hundred meters!
At this distance, if the enemy wants to launch an attack, they will not be able to escape the locking blow of the bed crossbow!
Many bed crossbows and city head troops were also severely damaged in the first wave of enemy charges, but the immediate reinforcements of the player troops greatly restored their combat effectiveness in this area. The small group of black dragon guerrilla troops that were once forced did not even dare to approach the city wall.
For this reason, the regional enemies even had to mobilize large-scale black dragon armies to suppress the four-sided city walls and continuously thin out the elite troops in their hands~
Many players stranded in the city immediately rushed to the high ground in the surrounding buildings.
The architectural style of the tower family is a very typical Gothic style. The towering spiers, superhuman scale and intricate decorations form a unified and upward melody for the entire city, blending in with the countless mage spiers. Tall and thin, but showing
The tower mages have an unparalleled sense of mystery!
The biggest advantage of this kind of building complex is that it can increase a large number of building heights during wartime.
Perhaps even with the players' basic attack height of 20 to 30 meters, they may not be able to get the main group of black dragons flying in the sky and sea of fire, but it can greatly broaden the players' horizons~
The communication methods of players are obviously much more advanced and popular than those of NPCs~
Everyone has their own mercenary group, guild or daily team, and everyone can spread the beneficial battle reports they see. Some people even spend money to use loudspeakers in the area to broadcast announcements.
There is a black dragon rushing over somewhere. The flying height of the black dragon has been lowered, and it may attack. The brothers nearby must kill one or two of the opponent [NPC cannot hear this kind of players blasting the area speakers]
Under this kind of communication method that is almost a cheat, there is almost no possibility for the black dragons flying in the sky to act secretly~
All of their attacks and transfer routes were spyed by countless "eyes" on the ground. Any slightest disturbance would allow the counterattack troops on the ground to react quickly, and they would almost never miss any opportunity to trap the enemy's lone black dragon!
Behind the towers, there are scattered shadows. All of them hide a large number of low-end gargoyles created by the players themselves.
The quality and strength of these gargoyles may not be as standard as those made by NPCs. But the quantity is surprisingly large!
And under the player's point-to-point command, these gargoyles are even more clever and can pull down any black dragon flying not far from them!
Often when a black dragon flies by, hundreds of gargoyles scream and pounce on each other, biting the opponent's wings, grabbing the opponent's eyeballs, or directly attacking the opponent's wing roots, jaws, belly and other defenses.
Assault at a weak location!
In the player world, there is no concept of "standard tactical rules" at all.
Players are all using doctrine and pragmatism, and honor is even more nonsense. As long as they can win and severely damage these damn invaders, even the pink "chrysanthemums" of the black dragons will not escape the fate of being ravaged.
~
Along the way, Liu Yifei often saw three or four gargoyles "burrowing" under the black dragon's butt, and his obscene and lewd fighting methods, which could only have been done by players! Not to mention that many of his eyes were blown out.
The black dragon that was left in the dust was howling like ghosts and wolves. Basically, it was all because of those vicious players.
Black!
Really dark!
Although everything Liu Yifei saw along the way was the desolate scene of the Black Dragon assault force's rampant killings, the closer he got to the public open area, the more he could see the scenes of players actively defending and counterattacking.
Dozens of warriors carried a half-destroyed city defense crossbow and ran towards the Carpenters' Association "Hey, hey, hey, hey". Or there were elemental mages summoning water magic to extinguish the burning catapult. Or there were alchemists.
Gathering the power of several mercenary groups and even guilds, the Gargoyles gathered together nearly an army and were planning to find an opportunity to counterattack the enemy's main formation to cover the city defense troops in the central area and break through as soon as possible.
The reaction of players from the Tower Clan Land of Storms really gave Liu Yifei a particularly shocking feeling for the first time~
He didn't expect that in just half a year, the players of the Tower Clan would already have such fast and even impressive reflexes when faced with a sudden war!
To be fair, even if the Plague City is raided, Liu Yifei estimates that the elite player corps under him, without the central command of the core management members, may not even be as responsive as the ordinary players everywhere here.
It's not that Liu Yifei's players are not strong, but the best place for training is "life" itself!
In order to adapt to the harsh war environment and the war situation with fierce conflicts every moment, the players of the Tower Clan have grown almost at a speed unimaginable by players of other races until today. They can finally impress even Liu Yifei~
Compared to the players in the City of Storms who have amazing reflexes, the reaction of the NPCs is really worrying.
Along the way, Liu Yifei roughly understood the current situation just by listening to the loudspeakers in the area.
The city defense troops are gathering at the city gates on all sides, planning to encircle the enemy there.
But the problem is that the main force of the city defense force was already besieged by the enemy in the north of the public area, near the arena.
When Liu Yifei heard the news, his heart pounded and he had a bad premonition.
And soon he got hold of the new news. Sure enough, an angel appeared in the trapped city defense formation!
Sophia
The image of the tall blond woman almost jumped out in front of Liu Yifei's eyes. He never expected that that idiot was really trapped.
Fortunately, the situation has not deteriorated to the worst yet.
When the raid broke out, those people quickly moved into the "King's Craft Hall" there.
This is a place for lords to produce and rent various large-scale advanced war machinery, or players can join here as an "apprentice" to join production and manufacturing, improving their relevant skills while earning some living expenses~
Because of the special purpose here, the craft hall was built very large and strong. It is undoubtedly an excellent defensive fortress, and a large number of semi-finished machinery or combat facilities that are about to be completed are used by the opponent immediately.
A considerable number of external crossbow arrows are set up in all directions of the craft hall.
If we only defended but did not attack, and did not attract the enemy's attention, I am afraid that the black dragons would not come so quickly and forcibly demolish the craft hall.
But after the angels who were defending there took the initiative to rescue several royal capital guard troops who were being pursued around them, the situation got out of hand~
In addition to more and more pursued city defense troops retreating here, the Black Dragon Legion's attention has also been attracted here. They are planning to launch a final charge.
The sudden burst of holy light before was actually reflected from the majestic craft hall!
Liu Yifei almost didn't have to guess who would have done it.
Now Liu Yifei's only hope is that nothing happens to Sophia.
If Saranovi fails to complete the "final task" he entrusted to him in the end, I'm afraid Liu Yifei himself will be so angry that he dies~
Then, just when Liu Yifei was about to break into the craft hall to look for Sophia, a black shadow suddenly appeared from the corner of the street, and almost in an instant, Liu Yifei and Xue Lan were snatched away.
, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed into the shadows on the opposite street corner again!
Was attacked
This was Liu Yifei's first reaction after suddenly "flying upside down".
However, after feeling that the other party was actually catching them instead of knocking them away, the horror quickly subsided.
And as the three of them stood still in the shadows, Liu Yifei finally got a clear look at that person's appearance.
Sadira!!!
Damn it~
Isn't this the Sadira whom he and Xue Lan blackmailed more than half an hour ago?
Why did this guy come here all of a sudden?
"Lord Liuyun, why are you here?"
Before Liu Yifei could ask, Sadila asked bluntly.
"Um. I. I'm planning to go find Sophia. Why don't you?"
"Master Liuyun also thought of Sophia?
Hum ~
We are indeed close friends.
But I just tried it, and their defenses are very tight. Even if they break into the craft hall, it will be difficult to successfully attack Sophia, so I have decided to give up here and search the royal capital's treasure house instead."
"Ah? Going to the Royal Capital Treasure House? You... what are you going to do?"
Liu Yifei almost felt like he was in a mess in an instant!
What is this all about?
Is Sadira stupid or crazy?
Why does it sound like he wants to deal with Sophia, an ally of the Tower Clan? Moreover, going to the warehouse in the royal capital? What does this person want to do? Take advantage of the situation to rob and get the treasure?
