Chapter 473 Last-Ditch Struggle (I finished the 19 four-chapter updates last month, requesting monthly tickets!)
On this battlefield, Zhan Dao Shixue had been completely subdued by Nie Yan. None of their elites were here. Ordinary players couldn't even withstand the attacks of ordinary small beetles, let alone the powerful Crypt Lord.
Ang Yi Tianshi's face was extremely ugly. He started to mobilize their elites everywhere, especially the shield warriors. Angel Corps’s MTs were already on their way. Only shield warriors could withstand the Crypt Lord, but it was still very difficult. The Crypt Lord's level was too high. Even if they could only hold it for a while and stall it, the ironclad catapults could play a role. This was the only hope to win, although this hope seemed so slim.
Ang Yi Tianshi held the Palent Firebird Longbow and shuttled through the players of Zhan Dao Shixue. He raised his longbow, drew three arrows from the quiver, bent the bow and nocked the arrows. The three arrows shot out, drawing three scarlet arcs in the sky, shooting straight towards Nie Yan.
Nie Yan quickly spotted Ang Yi Tianshi in the crowd. He controlled the Crypt Lord to suddenly turn around. The three arrows brushed past Nie Yan's side. Unfortunately, these arrows could not track.
It was him! In the face of the Crypt Lord's powerful and unmatched strength, Ang Yi Tianshi could only rely on his ranged attacks to harass Nie Yan.
Under Nie Yan's command, the Crypt Lord suddenly accelerated and chased in the direction of Ang Yi Tianshi.
The Crypt Lord had been moving slowly just now, but that didn't mean that its speed was only that. After all, it was a level 100 Lord. When it accelerated, the speed was terrifying. It quickly approached Ang Yi Tianshi.
Seeing the Crypt Lord pressing down like a mountain, Ang Yi Tianshi was shocked. This behemoth was so fast!
Ang Yi Tianshi cast a skill to increase his movement speed and quickly ran through the players. The movement speed of an Elven Demon Hunter was already very fast. In addition, Ang Yi Tianshi himself had excellent equipment. His running speed was quite good. He occasionally turned around and shot arrows to attack Nie Yan.
This guy actually wanted to use the kiting method used when fighting a Boss to kill him!
Nie Yan naturally wouldn't let him succeed so easily.
The Crypt Lord kept swaying left and right, allowing Nie Yan to dodge the arrows shot by Ang Yi Tianshi. It crashed all the way, and countless players of Zhan Dao Shixue were knocked away. No one could stop the Crypt Lord's footsteps. Groups of shield warriors rushed up, trying to intercept the Crypt Lord. When the Crypt Lord's strong body collided with them, they realized how small they were.
Ang Yi Tianshi took the opportunity to rush out a long way. This time, hundreds of players sacrificed their lives to buy him this time.
Ang Yi Tianshi had absolute confidence in his skills. If he were to fight Nie Yan one-on-one, he wouldn't be afraid of Nie Yan, but facing such a behemoth as the Crypt Lord, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
Although Angel Corps had many elites, they lacked some decisive power.
This guy runs quite fast, Nie Yan thought.
Anyway, Ang Yi Tianshi's shooting couldn't threaten Nie Yan. He was happy to slaughter the people of Zhan Dao Shixue. The losses of Zhan Dao Shixue were quite alarming. If this continued, they would eventually be eaten away by Nie Yan.
The nearby mages chanted spells one after another, preparing to bombard Nie Yan.
Nie Yan glanced at the Crypt Lord's skill bar. The Piercing skill had cooled down again. The Crypt Lord used Piercing. Without exception, all the mages within a 50-yard radius were instantly killed.
Although he understood that he was approaching the range of the ironclad catapults, Nie Yan didn't stop moving forward. He was preparing to let the Crypt Lord test how much damage the ironclad catapults could do. If the damage wasn't high, he could rampage over and destroy the ironclad catapults.
Only by leading the Crypt Lord into the range of the ironclad catapults could they kill the Crypt Lord.
While running, Ang Yi Tianshi commanded the players controlling the ironclad catapults to calibrate their range and be ready at any time.
Ang Yi Tianshi led the Crypt Lord towards the location of the ironclad catapults. Gradually, the Crypt Lord approached an area about 500 yards away from an ironclad catapult.
That ironclad catapult suddenly launched five red burning iron balls, flying into the sky and smashing down towards the Crypt Lord.
Seeing five iron balls flying towards him, Nie Yan jumped off the Crypt Lord, while commanding the Crypt Lord to dodge the flying iron projectiles, and quickly dodged away from this area.
The five burning iron balls bombarded the Crypt Lord, *bang bang bang*, five muffled sounds. These iron balls hit the Crypt Lord's hard carapace, making metal-like impact sounds. Waves of scorching flames swept across the Crypt Lord's body.
The Crypt Lord was shaken back a few steps by the powerful force from the iron balls, and five damage values of more than 80,000 points floated above its head in succession.
What high attack power!
The attack of the ironclad catapults was so powerful.
Although the range of the ironclad catapults was only 500 yards, not as fierce as the goblin magic导火炮 [untranslated], its greatest power lies in the fact that its iron projectiles are attached with fire-based splash magic damage. Each ironclad catapult's shell was specially made, with triggerable magic runes imprinted on it. When the iron projectile was launched and touched an object, it could trigger an AoE magic, causing splash damage. The range was very large and difficult to dodge.
The players of the Ni Ren Tribe suffered heavy losses under the splash damage of these iron projectiles.
The impact of the iron projectiles, coupled with the fire-based splash magic, caused secondary damage.
Just when the ironclad catapult hit the Crypt Lord, a group of hundreds of shield warriors from Zhan Dao Shixue rushed towards the Crypt Lord. Among them, three were job-changed professional players after the first transfer. Their defensive ability was still very high.
They wanted to hold the Crypt Lord and then bombard it to death with ironclad catapults.
Nie Yan naturally wouldn't let them succeed so easily. There was no need to fight head-on with the ironclad catapults now. There were lightning totem poles all around the ironclad catapults. If these dense lightning totem poles were to unleash their full power, they could also cause a lot of damage. It would be a bit of a loss to let the Crypt Lord step on these lightning totem poles.
Nie Yan commanded the Crypt Lord to retreat quickly, causing the group of shield warriors to lunge into empty air.
The Crypt Lord was still constantly summoning small beetles, and the number of small beetles gathered around was increasing. Anyway, there were corpses all over the ground, and there were many mediums for summoning, which could be said to be inexhaustible. Moreover, Nie Yan discovered a problem: the more corpses on the ground, the stronger the Crypt Lord's attack, and the faster its HP recovery speed. It continuously absorbed the aura of death from these corpses, and these auras of death could be continuously transformed into its HP.
Under Nie Yan's control, teams of small beetles pounced on the rushing shield warriors, blocking their path.
Seeing this situation, Ang Yi Tianshi couldn't help but curse. The Crypt Lord was really difficult to deal with. He was really helpless.
Because the Crypt Lord was controlled by Nie Yan, it was equivalent to having intelligence. A level 100 Lord with intelligence was much more terrifying than an ordinary level 100 Lord with low intelligence!
The dense magic bombardment from Zhan Dao Shixue's mage team hit the Crypt Lord, but the damage caused was extremely limited, even less than its recovery speed.
Zhan Dao Shixue was completely helpless. Nie Yan seemed to be playing with them, just not approaching the range of the ironclad catapults, and constantly clearing the people of Zhan Dao Shixue nearby.
As time slowly passed, the losses of Zhan Dao Shixue became greater and greater. More than 50,000 people had suffered more than half their casualties.
Outside the 500-yard range of the ironclad catapults, not a single player of Zhan Dao Shixue survived. They were all swept away by the Ni Ren Tribe. The players of the Ni Ren Tribe seemed to have found their own rhythm. In high morale, they exerted strong combat power. After clearing the people of Zhan Dao Shixue on the periphery, some players began to rush to the distance to support Galan Temple and the Holy Roman Empire.
After nearly an hour, the number of small beetles surrounding the Crypt Lord had reached about 600. This was a huge and fierce army. Each small beetle had 12,000 HP and was quite resistant. Its attack power was also considerable.
This army was still continuously increasing. Under the leadership of the Crypt Lord, there was basically no living thing wherever it passed.
Nie Yan refocused his attention on the two ironclad catapults in the distance. It was time to deal with them!
More than 600 small beetles spread out and surrounded the two ironclad catapults from all directions.
They were a group of fearless daredevils. Small beetles rushed to the front, triggering the nearby lightning totem poles. *Boom, boom, boom*, a series of powerful lightning swept across. Small beetles were blown over and turned into broken limbs and wreckage, but the small beetles behind them still rushed forward without fear, detonating the lightning totem poles in front. In just a moment, the lightning totem poles that Ang Yi Tianshi had spent half a day arranging with sixteen shamans were probed into for the most part.
They detonated the lightning totem poles in front, so the Crypt Lord and the players of the Ni Ren Tribe could rush in.
Seeing that the defense was mostly cleared, Zhan Dao Shixue could only make a dying struggle. All of them understood that the overall situation was over.
The players of the Ni Ren Tribe had cut off their retreat.
One ironclad catapult launched five burning iron balls. These iron balls fell in the most densely populated area of the small beetles, swept over, and overturned them, killing twenty or thirty.
Just then, the Crypt Lord let out a deafening roar.
Ang Yi Tianshi's face changed. The thing he was most worried about was finally coming!
