Chapter 391: Undead Army Attacks! The Difficulty of the First Battle!
The next day, the vanguard of the Undead Army advanced to Wu Shuang City and began the first round of attacks.
Even the vanguard numbered as high as a million, completely surrounding the entire Wu Shuang City.
Above the city walls of Wu Shuang City, the magic artillery roared continuously, and raging flames surged out among the Undead Army.
Large numbers of players joined the battlefield, resisting the Undead Army's attack. Because of the large number of players, the Undead Army was beaten back step by step.
On the city wall of Wu Shuang City, He Denlong and the City Lords of the six subordinate second-tier main cities stood. "The situation is still quite good. We can block this million-strong Undead Army relying solely on the aliens."
"We cannot be careless. This is just the vanguard of the Undead Army."
"Yes."
...
Li Xiang looked at the enemy and allied sides in the chaotic battle, his gaze fixed on the distance with worry.
Just as He Denlong said, this was just the vanguard of the Undead Legion, and there were even larger legions to follow.
Moreover... Li Xiang did not believe that the Undead Legion would just let this million-strong Undead Army be sent to their deaths like this.
Less than half an hour after Li Xiang's thought emerged, a scout rushed over to report anxiously.
"Report, City Lord! After the vanguard of the Undead Legion, a large number of Undead Mages are gathering, seemingly preparing for long-range, large-scale attack magic."
One City Lord immediately said, "Large-scale attack magic? They are planning to directly bombard the city wall!"
Once the city wall is breached, it will be impossible to resist a million-level Undead Army.
He Denlong waved his hand, "Open the city barrier!"
"Yes!"
A barrier covering the entire city appeared.
The Undead Mages' long-range attack magic appeared.
Exploding flame magic filled the sky, attacking from a great distance and landing on the barrier.
The entire process lasted for half an hour, after which the barrier began to weaken, while the Undead Legion's long-range exploding flame magic did not stop at all.
He Denlong looked at Li Xiang, "City Lord Qu Ming, I trouble you to lead the Elite troops of Zhushen City to snipe the opponent's Undead Mage Corps!"
Li Xiang accepted the order and left.
From the start of the battle until now, the combat members of Gods Guild had not participated. In the war meeting, Wu Shuang City defined Gods City as Elite troops, a sharp sword.
Li Xiang was the tip of this sharp sword!
Arriving at the location of the Gods Guild members, two thousand combat players were already poised and ready.
"President!"
"President!"
"How is the situation?"
Liu Yunfeng immediately reported, "The number of Undead Mages is roughly around ten thousand. They are currently behind the vanguard of the Undead Legion, protected by approximately fifty thousand ordinary Undead Legion troops."
In addition to the Gods City team, there was also a Warrior team from another second-tier main city dispatched together. Their task was to tie down the fifty thousand ordinary Undead Legion troops and open a path for the Elite troops of Gods City.
This was a war of cooperation between players and NPCs!
"Set off!"
Under Li Xiang's leadership, two thousand players riding swift horses quickly bypassed the flank to the location of the Undead Mage Corps.
In front, the Warrior team from another city had already engaged with the fifty thousand Undead Legion troops, and a path had been cleared.
"Charge!"
Li Xiang took the lead and quickly charged into the Undead Mage Corps!
It was only ten thousand Undead Mages, which was not a big problem for Li Xiang.
With the Guild Elite combat members also present, it was not a major issue.
However, as soon as Li Xiang charged into the Undead Mage Corps, the entire massive Undead Mage Corps suddenly disappeared.
In their place were one hundred thousand ordinary Undead Legion troops!
"President! The Undead Mage Corps has moved to the rear of Wu Shuang City!"
It was actually a large-scale teleportation magic array?!
The Undead Legion had been preparing for this battle for a long time!
Two thousand Guild members were surrounded by one hundred thousand ordinary Undead Legion troops.
Just entering the battlefield, they were tricked. Li Xiang gained a new understanding of war.
These Undead Legion troops were not fools who only knew how to charge blindly with numbers!
"Kill our way out!"
Li Xiang roared and immediately advanced towards one direction.
These ordinary Undead Legion troops were merely ordinary Monsters of level 60 and 70, with a small number of minor BOSSes mixed in.
Li Xiang directly charged into the army of one hundred thousand Undead Legion troops.
Large-scale attack skills were unleashed with full force.
Rainfall!
-18771361
-18732112
...
Magic Flame Soaring to the Sky!
Thousand Waters Like Silk!
...
Large swaths of Undead soldiers died, almost instantly, several thousand soldiers perished under Li Xiang's attack, creating a blank area.
The subsequent Gods Guild members immediately followed, unleashing a large number of skills.
They were the Elite of Gods Guild, and also among the top-tier combat players in this game.
In just over ten seconds, the Undead Legion had over twenty thousand deaths, but there were still eighty thousand soldiers left, and the battle fell into a stalemate.
Li Xiang raised his hand and released all the Undead he had gathered under his command during this time. Thousands of Undead troops appeared and immediately began to contend with the eighty thousand Undead Legion troops.
Undead Treants released a large number of vines, controlling the Undead Legion. Undead Shadow Assassins moved like specters, weaving through the Undead Legion, killing the Undead and disrupting their formation.
Half an hour later, the breakout was successful. Only less than fifty thousand of the one hundred thousand Undead Legion troops remained.
Leading the team back to a safe area, the casualties were tallied. Only slightly over thirty players had been killed once.
Compared to killing tens of thousands of Monsters, this number of casualties was negligible, but Li Xiang's heart sank.
Dying three times meant being unable to re-enter the game, which meant no room for improvement.
And if they couldn't continue to improve their strength, the probability of death in the subsequent battle when reality descends would be extremely high...
"Everyone rest and regroup."
After speaking, Li Xiang left alone and charged towards the location of the Undead Mage Corps.
Only Li Xiang dared to charge into the Undead Army alone.
At the location of the Undead Mage Corps, tens of thousands of Undead Mages were constantly bombarding Wu Shuang City's Guardian barrier. After discovering that the Undead Mage Corps had shifted positions, the city quickly reacted and dispatched new troops to snipe them.
But they couldn't reach the Undead Mage Corps at all! The million-strong Undead Army in front blocked all routes that could come from the city!
Troops were already being mobilized from nearby second-tier main cities to snipe the Undead Mage Corps, but it would take them several hours to arrive, and it was questionable whether Wu Shuang City's Guardian barrier could withstand such indiscriminate bombardment for that long.
Over ten minutes later, Li Xiang arrived at the Undead Mage Corps.
The tens of thousands strong Undead Mage Corps was protected by tens of thousands of Undead Warriors.
Even if Li Xiang could constantly insta-kill, it would take a significant amount of time to charge into the Undead Mage Corps. And this amount of time would be enough for them to shatter Wu Shuang City's Guardian barrier, not to mention that even more Undead Warriors would join the legion blocking Li Xiang.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xiang immediately used Angel Wings, flying directly over the numerous Undead Warrior legions protecting the Undead Mage Corps, and charged into the Undead Mage Corps.
The slaughter... began!!!
An Undead Archmage tried to stop Li Xiang, but was cut into pieces by a single strike!
Li Xiang, having entered the Undead Mage Corps, was like entering an uninhabited land.
Kill! Kill! Kill!!!
After Li Xiang had killed over half of the Undead Mages, light appeared on the ground, and the remaining Undead Mages were all teleported away!
Lu Qingshui immediately reported the new coordinates of the Undead Mage Corps.
It was five kilometers away, on the other side of Wu Shuang City!
"Damn it!"
How many teleportation magic arrays had the Undead set up near Wu Shuang City!!
