Hu Die Lan
Chapter 770 Squeezed with Internal Injuries
"Zui-ge is mighty!!!"
In such a moment, the only one who could shout such a nauseating cheer so loudly was Fireball. Sword Demon, Drifting, and the others would never join in the mindless yelling, of course. They were all experts with a sense of dignity. But Very Heaven and Rebirth Amethyst were now filled with a lot of oblivious masses who had been coaxed over. When they heard Fireball's shouts, some of them echoed him. A wave of support quickly swept through the team, and everyone was shouting, "Zui-ge is mighty!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Gu Fei waved to the crowd.
"Have you no shame?" Waist Dancer couldn't stand it anymore.
"It's good manners," Gu Fei said seriously, making it hard to tell what kind of mood he was actually in.
"Don't waste time, Against the Wine's magic array dissipated. Take this opportunity to keep going!" Drifting pushed Gu Fei forward.
"I just discovered some bad news," Gu Fei said suddenly with a solemn expression.
"What?" Everyone looked at him.
"I've died twenty times..." Gu Fei said.
Everyone was stunned, but they soon realized what that meant.
Twenty deaths meant that he couldn't leave the revival point for twenty minutes... This was really bad news, which basically meant that Gu Fei was out of the city war. Twenty minutes was enough for the outer city revival points to completely collapse, or for all the revival points within the city to be captured. Sword Demon had been afraid to go into battle for this reason; he couldn't stand the penalty of fifteen deaths, and especially the time-out those fifteen deaths would incur.
Gu Fei was now standing on the line of the Mage Academy. He couldn't take a single step out, as the system had forcibly sealed him inside the revival point with a wall of qi.
At this moment, another system message came from the city: Archer's Range has been captured.
The Mage Academy had become the only one left. A few players were reborn here. They were the last batch of city-defending players who had sacrificed themselves at the Archer's Range. The Mage Academy was the only place they could revive. God of Bewilderment was among them, and he immediately started cursing.
"It's still early! Form ranks, prepare to attack!!!" Jian Nan You shouted. The team reformed, and the attacking players, having learned that only one revival point remained, greatly increased their morale and charged towards the Mage Academy with everything they had. The Thousand Miles Drunk who had made them vomit blood earlier was standing on the line, but they were no longer afraid!
"Attack!" Jian Nan You pointed his sword, and the defending mages opened fire first. The sky was covered in a sea of fire, and its destructive power was quite amazing, wiping out the first wave of attacking players who had rushed up recklessly. The players didn't care; those behind them stepped on the corpses in front of them and prepared to continue forward. But Against the Current, who was also a mage, had long seen through the secret to their attack: their mages were divided into two groups, alternating attacks. One wave was over, but that didn't mean there would be a period of cooling down...
"Wait!!!" Against the Current roared, stopping the players from being hit by the second wave.
Unfortunately, not many people listened to him. Apart from his own guild members and a few who were close by, most of the players still charged forward.
The second wave of spells landed, and the sea of fire reappeared.
"I knew it," Against the Current sneered. He waved his hand, and his men charged up. Now was the vacuum of spell attacks.
As a result, the third wave of spells landed...
Although there was only one, it seemed very small, but its power was extremely great. All of Against the Wine's members who didn't have enough health were instantly killed. Who else could be so valiant alone besides Thousand Miles Drunk?
"You're just guessing!" Drifting glanced at Gu Fei.
"I can't help it," Gu Fei said innocently. He didn't do it on purpose. When Jian Nan You shouted to attack, he also fired. But his spells were just so slow. By the time others had fired two waves, his was just emerging. As a result, he accidentally circled Against the Current's men with two area-of-effect spells.
Against the Current pounded his chest and stamped his feet, completely losing his composure. He pointed at the Mage Academy and cursed Gu Fei as a disgrace to mages.
Some of Against the Wine's surviving members fully understood their leader's grief. They swarmed forward, wanting to vent their anger for their leader. But Drifting pulled away a Battle Mage in front of him, raised his staff, and with a "Double Lotus Azure Fire", incinerated the remaining scraps as if with a flamethrower.
"Well done!" Gu Fei praised Drifting.
"Push them out!" Sword Demon instructed.
The experts all understood and stepped out of the Mage Academy, advancing instead of retreating.
"Hey, I can't get out!" Gu Fei shouted.
"Stay over there and don't cause trouble," Waist Dancer said as she passed him.
"Thousand Miles, you've killed me!" God of Bewilderment also chimed in from the other side.
"Why are you just getting here?" Gu Fei asked.
"The Archer's Range has been occupied. I've died so many times," God of Bewilderment said with tears in his eyes.
"Oh, I thought you got lost again," Gu Fei said.
Because of that "again", God of Bewilderment's tears flowed even more intensely.
At this moment, the battle outside the Mage Academy had become a chaotic mess. Although the defending side's spell coordination was quite beautiful, the attacking side had a sea of people, and they were somewhat lacking in output. At this time, the other party finally rushed to their front. Jian Nan You led the warriors to hold on desperately. A figure flashed past, skewering these guys who were rushing too far forward. It was Sword Demon, who struck like a windshield wiper, instantly sweeping away a row of people. Those who were struck by Sword Demon's Mist Shadow Raid were either killed or seriously injured. Jian Nan You led the warriors to add their strength and immediately kill a row.
But Sword Demon's Mist Shadow Raid also had a long cooldown and couldn't be repeated for a while. The other party pressed on again. This was no longer a battle, but was pushing Jian Nan You and the others backward.
The mages opened fire together, forming a head-on clash. The defending side was somewhat sophisticated, only throwing spells into the enemy's crowd. But the attacking side was simply bullying the smaller group, bombing indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe. Some of the long-range mages were throwing spells that couldn't even touch the enemy's hair and were completely hitting their own ranks. This was obviously a bit too much, and everyone angrily cursed them, and finally this irresponsible phenomenon disappeared.
"Hold, hold, everyone just hold on! What we need is time!!!" Jian Nan You roared. Just after he finished speaking, he was killed. No one was invincible in this kind of melee. PK skills were completely useless at this time, and cooperation didn't seem to have much effect. The role of equipment came into play. Those with better equipment could obviously survive for a few more seconds.
Jian Nan You was originally the warrior with the best equipment and should have lived to the end. But he talked too much, attracting too many attacks, and was the first to be killed. This was a classic case of "a big tree attracts the wind".
Sword Demon insidiously shrank into the shadows, waiting for the cooldown of Mist Shadow Raid to end. The attacking players were too eager to enter the Mage Academy. Sword Demon was in stealth mode and was bumped into, but no one cared which side he was on. Everyone continued to charge headlong towards the academy. As soon as Sword Demon's skill was ready, he unceremoniously used Mist Shadow Raid, clearing a path of people and incidentally rushing into the academy.
"You want to go in? Get past me first!!" Gu Fei roared. Sword Demon and Jian Nan You led their teams out to resist for a while, but were overwhelmed by the sea of people and died. Gu Fei was standing in the line, and everyone else revived behind him and regrouped. Facing the dark mass of people pushing towards him, Gu Fei didn't retreat at all. He raised his hand to cast a spell, ready to fight a big battle. Sword Demon and Jian Nan You had already led their teams past him and rushed out.
"Trample them!" The attacking players roared. Skills flashed everywhere, and no one knew whether they were killing friends or foes. In short, the defending players' formation could only be maintained for a while. After a gap was opened, it would be instantly torn apart. Soon, a bunch of people would be sent back again after resisting for less than half a minute.
"Now it's my turn!" Gu Fei shouted. This time, the attacking players were pressing forward, and some had already stepped to the edge of the line. Gu Fei sent out a Twin Flame Flash, turning several people into white light.
"Who dares to come forward!!" Gu Fei carried his long sword and looked extremely majestic.
Volley of arrows.
Perhaps that was an exaggeration, but there were at least a thousand arrows this time. Gu Fei looked around and saw that the outside of the Mage Academy had never been so lively. The square was a dark mass of players, and the streets leading to the square were also crowded. The roofs of the buildings along the street were also full of people, all archers. Regardless of whether the distance was enough, they were all shooting arrows in this direction.
Gu Fei shouted, and the melee players really didn't dare to step forward, but the surging arrows were as dark as the crowd. The density of the attack was comparable to that of mages. Gu Fei scanned with his powerful vision and found that even turning into a piece of paper wouldn't help this time, let alone sidestepping. Instantaneous Movement? Six meters was too close. Gu Fei sighed, and the rain of arrows fell, instantly piercing him.
The attacking players were excited! But the rain of arrows stopped for the most part after this wave, and many people were puzzled, shouting, "Keep shooting!" They still hoped to see the magnificent offensive just now.
"What are you shooting for? Quickly seize the revival point! What's the point of shooting arrows!" Yearning yelled.
The players woke up as if from a dream. Arrows were powerful, but what would happen if they just kept shooting here? To capture the revival point, they needed to wipe out the guardian NPCs inside, and then have someone stay there for five minutes.
Five minutes. Do we still have five minutes? Moreover, it would take some time to eliminate the guards inside under these guys' disruption. The attacking players suddenly panicked: How was the camp outside? It seemed that they hadn't received any intelligence for a long time.
The guild leaders who thought of this situation went to ask the people watching the camp outside for news, but the news they received was: "Don't worry, the camp is very stable now. The water flow has become smaller and slower. Maybe nothing will happen to the camp at all."
The defending players also received the same news. For them, the news wasn't good. They couldn't launch any attacks on the attacking side's camp. Their hope was pinned on this mission. If the system couldn't wipe out the other party's camp, then all the defending players' efforts would be in vain.
During this moment of daze, several attacking players had already rushed into the Mage Academy, ignoring the players inside and heading straight for the guards in the Mage Academy.
Although the guards' attributes had dropped by 80%, their personalities were still there, and they took the initiative to kill the attacking players who had stepped into their defensive zone. The attacking players were probably welcoming the system guards' attacks for the first time. This saved them a lot of trouble. Now these system guards weren't coming to attack, but were actively offering themselves to be killed.
But how could the defending players let them attack the guards casually? As long as there was one guard left, the countdown for the capture wouldn't start, and time could be dragged out. Once the guards were killed, it would be impossible to push these attacking players outside the Mage Academy with only two hundred people.
At this time, there were still few attacking players rushing in. Locally speaking, the defending side had a numerical advantage. A group of experts and coaxed-over new members swarmed up, and several attacking players died quickly. But the attacking players were squeezing into the Mage Academy. After several attacking players were cleared out, the system guards turned around to return to their original positions, but then saw someone else stepping in, and the guards hurriedly turned back again. The defending side was also fast, cutting whoever stepped into the Mage Academy. The door was so big, and the attacking side's numerical advantage couldn't be used. The players who were cut in the front frantically roared back, "Archers? Mages? Cover us! We're all in!"
As soon as they finished speaking, they were killed, and the newly replaced guys who stepped in continued to roar while being cut. The archers and mages in the back were under great pressure. At the very least, ranged attacks required a line of sight, but now there was a sea of people. Where was the line of sight? Without a line of sight, mages couldn't see the target and couldn't cast spells at all. Archers could play with arc shots, but archers also needed a lot of space to draw their bows. At this time, all kinds of people were rushing towards the Mage Academy, getting more and more crowded, and there was less and less space. Want to draw a bow? First get your hand out of the crowd.
"Scatter, scatter!" Yearning, who led the Vertical and Horizontal Sea Arrow Formation, shouted, but it was useless. There was too much noise when there were too many people. Only a few people heard him, and even fewer were willing to listen. Those who were willing to listen wanted to act, but those who didn't listen didn't cooperate, so listening was useless.
The attacking players' team was bloated, and the door of the Mage Academy was like a bottleneck, trapping them here. This door was simply the gate of hell. Anyone who stepped in would be killed by the defending players.
"It's chaos, it's all chaos!!!" Sword Without Oath finally arrived, but he was still hundreds of meters away from the door of the Mage Academy. There were already too many people in front of him, and he couldn't get through at all. Sword Without Oath shouted to make way, but no one paid attention to him. Sword Without Oath relied on his strength as a man and desperately drilled forward. He finally saw his general Yearning. Yearning was weak and was being squeezed until his face turned purple. Looking to the other side, he saw his old opponent Against the Current, who was also not strong, and his eyes were squeezed shut.
"What's going on? Why can't we still get in?" Sword Without Oath sent a message to Yearning.
"Chaos, too much chaos. It's going to be bad if this continues!" Yearning replied. But what could anyone do? The final battle of the city war had developed into such a situation. No one could have expected this, not even Young Master Han, who was now being squeezed into a mess. No one had thought that when 200,000 people ran towards one goal and gathered in such a small place, such energy would erupt, squeezing even themselves to internal injuries.
"Maintain the rhythm of attack, clear people row by row. No area-of-effect attacks!" Sword Demon gave the most brilliant command at this time. He stopped the defending mages from trying to use area-of-effect spells to get a kick out of the crowded enemy.
And the main force responsible for clearing the row at the front line was none other than Gu Fei. One row at a time, and there were more after he killed them. He only hated that his skills had a cooldown and couldn't immediately follow up after killing them.
"Mages! Archers!" The players in the front row were still shouting, but when they looked back, it was difficult to find the figures of mages in the crowd. In such a crowded crowd, the mages' thin figures had been squeezed 18 miles away.
"Climb over the wall! How about climbing over the wall?" Someone came up with a ghost idea. The Mage Academy was also a large unit, and the wall was over four meters high. At this time, someone was seen lying on the wall, but no one could climb over it.
"We're going to lose like this? We're going to lose like this?" The guild leaders, who were full of infinite yearning for victory in the city war, couldn't even see the gate of the Mage Academy, and they were repeating such voices in their hearts. And the strange faces crowding around them made them feel extremely disgusted.
"How's the camp?" The guild leaders asked about the situation outside again.
"Don't worry, everything's fine!" The people outside said.
"We can't continue like this." Young Master Han, who was being squeezed into a mess, messaged Gu Xiao Shang, although he didn't even know where that person was.
"Then what do we do?"
"Kill! Kill a space!" Young Master Han said. "Contact other powerful guilds!"
Gu Xiao Shang was stunned, but also knew that this wasn't the time to talk about morality. He quickly contacted the other major guild leaders and put forward this suggestion.
"That's right! How could I not have thought of that?" The guild leaders all slapped their foreheads.
"Kill, kill a space!" The guild leaders all issued orders. Sword Without Oath set an example, ignoring those around him and directly using a Whirlwind Slash. In the chaos, a space immediately cleared around him. On that side, Against the Current, who had been squeezed and bullied, also led his mages to bomb indiscriminately. Some people were even squeezed so much that their chanting was interrupted, but the remaining firepower had already blasted a space. The mages scrambled for position and continued to blast the road forward before others could squeeze up.
For a time, there were white flashes everywhere on the square. All the attacking players were sacrificing their lives. This move was really effective. The crowded scene was suppressed, the formation was reopened, the Vertical and Horizontal Sea Arrow Formation was quickly launched, and a rain of arrows fell towards the revival area. The captains cleaned up the team, and before the subsequent squeezed-up players swarmed up, they marched towards the Mage Academy.
"We're in!!!" With the cover of mages and archers, the defending players had to choose to retreat, but this commotion had allowed them to drag on for a long time. But the news from outside was still quiet. The defending players were somewhat disappointed. Perhaps this mission was just helping them eliminate part of the attacking side's camp, not all of it? Was it ultimately unrealistic to win a victory against 200,000 people with just 200 people?
"It's not over yet! Everyone, cheer up!" Gu Fei shouted. He killed several attacking players who rushed in with one sword, but a large number of people had already stepped in. Sword Without Oath was also among them. When he saw Gu Fei, he quickly flashed back and then began to sell himself with a happy smile: "Brother Thousand Miles, I'm afraid we're going to win this time."
Before Gu Fei could say anything, there was a sudden earth-shattering muffled sound that came from outside the city. At that moment, everyone seemed to feel the ground beneath their feet sink.
All the guild leaders' message prompts began to frantically work. When they opened them, they all received the same message: The camp is gone.
================================================================
The camp is gone, the city war is over, where are the monthly tickets, are there any more?
