Chapter 178 Crisis

The Niuren (Amazing) Tribe was already calling on players to avoid contact with the skeleton army at all costs. Now, players would run as soon as they encountered skeletons, which slowed down the expansion of the skeleton army considerably, forcing them to rely on slaughtering NPC villages to expand.

This made Qin Han gradually feel a sense of crisis. If he relied solely on slaughtering NPC villages to expand, the rate at which the number of skeletons increased couldn't keep up with the consumption of attacking the major fortresses. If this continued, his skeleton army would definitely not be able to hold out!

Qin Han thought of an extreme method. Any player who volunteered to be turned into a skeleton by him could receive five gold coins a month. This attracted many low-level players who didn't have much money.

Knowing that Qin Han was using this method to 'recruit' skeletons, Nie Yan smiled slightly, estimating that Qin Han had no choice at this point. His skeleton army had been isolated by the players and would probably only be able to expand to a maximum of eight million, which was already quite impressive. As long as the Niuren Tribe fought a positional war with them, these skeletons would eventually be exhausted.

"Nie Yan, I got an Apocalypse Savior title," Tang Yao said, glancing at his status bar.

"Apocalypse Savior? How many skeletons did you take down?" Nie Yan asked in surprise.

Tang Yao looked down and said, "I took down over forty thousand."

"No wonder!" Nie Yan said. Tang Yao had taken down so many, which was quite astonishing. "What special effects does the Apocalypse Savior have?"

"Magic attack effect increased by 10%, magic chanting time shortened by 10%," Tang Yao said. The effect of this title was quite good.

Tang Yao's magic attack and magic chanting speed were already among the best of the magic players. With this addition, he could be called unmatched.

Nie Yan looked at Xie Yao next to him and said, "Use Forbidden magic when the next wave of skeletons comes!"

These skeletons were simply being delivered to their doorstep, and they absolutely couldn't be wasted. If Xie Yao also got an Apocalypse Savior title, then the two great mages of the Niuren Tribe would be invincible.

It was very difficult for Nie Yan to get the Apocalypse Savior title. He had to take down more than forty thousand skeletons. For Nie Yan, a melee class player, it was a bit out of reach. Even if he summoned the Golden Land Dragon, it would be difficult to刷 (shua - grind) more than forty thousand, but Nie Yan noticed the task of the Holy Spirit Heart. This place was full of skeleton corpses. If he could purify a certain number of them, maybe he could continue to break the seal of the Sword of Zennarde.

In the following days, Qin Han's skeleton army launched wave after wave of attacks on the Soro Fortress, but each time they were repelled by the players of the Niuren Tribe. More than 300,000 skeletons had fallen under the walls of Soro Fortress, but they still had not broken through Soro Fortress.

Looking at Soro Fortress from the outside, the walls of Soro Fortress were already dilapidated beyond recognition, covered with sword marks. It was a miracle that such a fortress had not collapsed under the tidal wave of attacks from the skeleton army.

During this period, Xie Yao also got the Apocalypse Savior title. Her Holy Light Domain was even more powerful than Tang Yao's Thunderfire Explosion, instantly purifying more than 60,000 skeletons.

Qin Han was very depressed and furious that Soro Fortress had not been taken down for a long time. He was unwilling to fail like this and continued to mobilize the surrounding skeleton army to attack Soro Fortress. The success or failure of the battle of Soro Fortress was more than just a matter of the gain or loss of a fortress for both sides.

During this period, Qin Han had already taken down sixty or seventy fortresses. The War God Tribe of Nisode City and the Berserker Alliance of Emerald City were only shrinking back into a few fortresses. As long as he took down Soro Fortress and defeated the main force of the Niuren Tribe, he could completely trample the Niuren Tribe under his feet!

Currently, almost all of the elite of the Niuren Tribe were gathered in Soro Fortress! Soro Fortress was the only way to Carol City. Even if he knew that Soro Fortress was difficult to chew, Qin Han had to chew it down!

"Damn, continue to attack me!" Qin Han continued to urge the skeleton army to attack, and he mobilized nearly 500,000 skeleton corps, determined to take down Soro Fortress.

At this time, Nie Yan, who was standing on the top of the city, showed a smile. His goal had been achieved. Qin Han had already杠上 (gang shang - locked horns) with him. Soro Fortress had contained nearly a million skeleton corps of Qin Han, and the pressure on the other guild fortresses was much smaller.

Tang Yao and Xie Yao's forbidden magic had been used up. Under the crazy attack of the skeletons, the mages' mana values had also reached the point of exhaustion. Since the skeletons' attacks had never stopped, they didn't even have much time to recover mana. The skeletons' attacks were getting closer and closer to the top of the city walls. If it weren't for a group of warriors forming a human wall to block them out, the skeletons would have already stormed up.

Seeing that the mages had no mana, Nie Yan shouted in a low voice in the guild group chat, "Everyone,砸 (za - throw) scrolls! Don't be stingy, I'll pay for them."

Hearing Nie Yan's words, the players of the Niuren Tribe all laughed and took out the scrolls at hand, throwing out magic one after another. Pieces of holy light bombarded down, instantly suppressing the skeletons again.

The confrontation between the two sides was extremely fierce, back and forth, and had never stopped. Gradually, some skeletons stormed onto the city walls and killed many mages on the city walls.

"Boss, we can't hold on here!"

"Boss, we can't stop them here!"

The city walls were in danger everywhere. Nie Yan frowned. He was thinking about whether to abandon Soro Fortress. If they continued to fight, the losses of the Niuren Tribe would be very heavy. But if they abandoned this fortress now, the entire Carol City would be exposed to the attack of Qin Han's skeleton corps.

Just as Nie Yan was a little anxious, a voice appeared next to him and asked, "Do you need help?"

Nie Yan looked to the side, and Lei Su, wearing golden armor, came into view. He was followed by more than fifty top players.

Without Nie Yan's instructions, Lei Su didn't know where to start. Seeing that the situation was a bit critical, he asked.

"The east side of the city wall, there is a place that is about to be breached, help me block it, thanks." Nie Yan said to Lei Su.

"Okay, you're welcome, I'm also a member of the Niuren Tribe now." Lei Su chuckled and led his brothers to the east side of the city wall.

In the east of the fortress, a gap was broken in the city wall, and a large group of skeletons poured in, engaging in melee combat with the players. These skeletons had high health and high defense. They withstood the dense magic and slashed down one player after another of the Niuren Tribe. The corpses that fell on the ground immediately crawled up and became members of the skeleton army.

"Brothers, we can't let these skeletons in, otherwise the consequences will be more serious, everyone block the gap!" Someone shouted.

"Warriors, hurry up and hold on!"

"We must repel them!"

The warriors rushed to the front and held off the skeletons.

Although facing the strong attack of the skeletons, this group of players of the Niuren Tribe still showed a very high quality, blocking the attack of the skeletons. Seeing more and more skeletons, the players of the Niuren Tribe were gradually unable to resist. A voice as heavy as thunder rang out: "The warriors in front get out of the way, let me do it!"

Lei Su, wearing golden armor, appeared at the corner of the city wall like a war god and rushed towards this side.

"It's War God Lei Su!"

"Everyone, make way!"

Although the players of the Niuren Tribe had not spent much time with Lei Su and were still a little unfamiliar, most of them knew that Lei Su had joined the Niuren Tribe and had seen Lei Su in the video. Somehow, the title of War God Lei Su had also spread. Being able to fight Nie Yan to that extent, Lei Su certainly deserved that title.

The warriors of the Niuren Tribe made way for a path, and two tall skeletons rushed towards the direction where Lei Su was.

"Some bone racks!" Lei Su smiled contemptuously, raised the great sword in his hand and swung it down, and a crescent-shaped sword aura swept across not far away. This crescent-shaped sword aura slashed on the two skeletons.

With two bangs, the two skeletons instantly exploded into fragments, and broken bones flew out.

Lei Su's attack can be described as indestructible. Although it cannot reach the distance of magic attacks, the farthest can only reach about ten yards, but its destructive power is even greater than the magic of mages!

Looking at the skeletons rushing over from a distance, Lei Su charged up, slashing down with his sword again and again, cutting the skeletons into pieces.

The skeletons' axes fell down and hit Lei Su's golden护体劲气 (huti jinqi - protective energy), and it was difficult to enter. The axes and the protective energy rubbed against each other, sparks flew in all directions, but it could not cause any damage to Lei Su.

Lei Su punched out and attacked a skeleton's body. With a muffled bang, the skeleton exploded and died.

The players of the Niuren Tribe who were watching were stunned, so strong!

This is an unmatched absolute power!

The ultimate of a warrior!

A tall, leader-level Skeleton King rushed up. It had already秒 (miao - instantly killed) two warriors of the Niuren Tribe. After discovering Lei Su in golden armor, it immediately rushed up and roared and waved the giant axe in its hand to slash down.

The giant axe in the Skeleton King's hand was cast from metal and looked indestructible. One axe could smash a gap in the city wall.

Defensive stance, block!

Lei Su held up the great sword in his hand and blocked the Skeleton King's attack.

With a loud bang, cracks appeared in the city wall under Lei Su's feet, but he still stood as firm as a rock, unshakable.

Lei Su waved the great sword in his hand, and a sword aura slashed on the Skeleton King's body, and more than 30,000 damage floated above the Skeleton King's head.

Lei Su single-handedly resisted the leader-level Skeleton King, forcing the Skeleton King to retreat steadily. The surrounding players of the Niuren Tribe were a little dumbfounded. Lei Su's strength was really amazing!
