“Prairie Fire, damn it, you gotta kill him,” Blood Mist Wind knew there was no way out, yelled.
Thud thud thud…
The players from Blood Leaf Guild dropped their disguise, instantly reverting to their original state, and the tense situation erupted.
“Kill them,” shrieked the Goblin supervisor.
The goblins swarmed in like a tide, and under Li Yao’s command, the Troll Defenders also charged in.
Li Yao gave a smile to the players of Blood Leaf Guild, step by step retreating. Goblins from all directions flocked in and quickly surrounded the over hundred members of the Blood Leaf Guild.
“Chief, he’s untouchable.”
“No way, can’t get through.”
Blood Mist Wind quickly cooled down, said, “All melee stay on the perimeter, protecting DPS and healers. Shift direction, attack left.”
Blood Mist Wind was decisive. Seeing that he couldn’t kill Li Yao, he immediately thought of retreating. The goblin camp was slightly to the left on the sixth layer.
Also because of the Goblin camp’s positioning, there were hardly any Troll around, and the Goblins were not particularly strong.
Most goblins were merely common monsters and elites were not densely packed. They still saw a glimmer of hope.
As long as they reached the edge, they could leap down and find a way to survive.
Both sides were instantaneously locked in fierce combat, the Blood Leaf Guild’s coordination was also pretty strong, and with healing, they managed to hold off the majority of Goblins for a while, so the Goblins suffered more losses.
However, there were just too many goblins and they were converging from all directions, forcing the Blood Leaf Guild to not stay put, otherwise, in such high-intensity battles, the healers would quickly run out of mana, and then they wouldn’t be able to escape even if they wanted to.
With everyone focused on the battle, Li Yao was left unnoticed. Striding towards a slope, he yelled as he walked, “Enemy invasion, backup needed, enemy invasion, backup needed.”
The goblin who heard the alert and rushed over had no idea what was happening. Hearing Li Yao’s shout and seeing his high-profile status,
The goblins howled and rushed towards the patrol direction.
The defensive system of the trolls was interesting. They did not rely on city walls for defense. They were very adept at utilizing terrain and geography when constructing their cities.
Their most common defense strategy was to build the city on a gradually rising terrain, and they would specially design certain wall passages. When an enemy attacked, they would roll large boulders, two to three meters in diameter, down.
These stones were more terrifying than any magic. Anyone crushed under them would instantly become a pancake.
The Goblins, occupying a corner of the city, also had this terrain advantage. However, they felt that the stones were not powerful enough, and with their plentiful minerals, they rather melted many large copper balls.
These served a dual purpose – defense and wealth storage.
At this moment, Li Yao was standing atop such a high slope and could clearly overlook the battle below.
The Goblins hadn’t thoroughly analyzed the trolls’ defense system. They didn’t know that the trolls wouldn’t easily use such tactics, this was a last resort.
They would wait until they were defeated and retreating before slowing down the enemy’s chase.
There were designated terrains and walls, forming a small, enclosed space, a portion of this was meant for effective killing, and most importantly, it was to prevent the uncontrolled rolling of the large stones that could destroy the city.
Although the goblins learned from this, they didn’t understand it thoroughly, unlike the trolls, they didn’t dig tunnels or passages, feeling that it restricted the power of the rolling stones.
They used the slope, and secured the giant copper balls with props. When needed, they would remove the props, give the copper ball a little push and it would roll down. They proudly claimed that they had exceeded the trolls’ ideas.
With the alarm, the Goblins all went down to join the fight. The situation for using the copper balls had not occurred. Nearly all of them ran to assist, only leaving two goblins on guard duty.
“What are you doing here?”
“Stop, no one is allowed to approach here.”
The two goblins immediately scolded Li Yao.
“You’re insolent, this is Drywood Troll’s territory, where I go is not your business.” Li Yao retorted sharply.
At the same time as he rebuked, Li Yao had already approached the two Goblins.
Bird of Prey Strike!
Deadly Poison Assassination!
Li Yao’s spear transformed into two shadows, activating two skills in a short time, instantly striking the necks of both goblins.
The two goblins are only normal monsters, although they were not instantly killed, they fell to the ground holding their necks, and the fire hawk transformed into a bird of prey by Li Yao also cast Tornado, directly reaping the remaining lives of these two goblins.
Li Yao promptly removed the obstacles blocking the front row of copper balls. There were more than a dozen copper balls in the front row.
Li Yao pushed the copper balls one by one. Suddenly, it felt like the whole mountain was shaking.
The huge rumbling drowned out the sounds of battle, the shaking and rumbling could be felt not just in this area, but across the entire fortress.
Li Yao’s push, combined with the acceleration from the slope, turned the copper balls into a terrifying force.
No one could stop the rolling copper balls, the goblins and players below were panicking trying to avoid the fast moving copper balls.
Any mechanical defenses, crude buildings, goblins, players, anything in the path of the copper balls got crushed.
This only happened because Li Yao didn’t push the copper balls in one direction. If they were all focused in one direction, the losses of the clumped up players and goblins would’ve been even more significant.
But even so, it was already terrifying. Due to the close proximity of the goblins and their dense formation, it was quite easy for the outer goblins to evade. But for the goblins and players squeezed inside, they weren’t so lucky.
Although only a single copper ball ground near the fighting parties, the outcome was horrifying. If the system hadn’t simplified the bloody scenes, it’s estimated that all the players on the scene would’ve vomited.
Even now, they felt a lingering fear.
As for the players who dropped from the team channel, many were already forcibly kicked offline by the system. Their brainwaves fluctuated too violently, and the system automatically disconnected and activated protection mode.
“Prairie Fire, you motherf….”
“Damn it, you son of a ….”
“F…”
The players of Blood Leaf Guild felt like they were going crazy, it was too savage, too tragic. If the fight just now was a matter of pride, now they were so furious they wished they could kill Li Yao in real life.
This time, even Blood Mist Wind died, also murdered so thoroughly, he couldn’t escape. The copper ball’s trajectory was headed right towards him.
After a while, Blood Mist Wind finally revived, feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his chest, “Prairie Fire, this isn’t over. From now on, we, the Blood Leaf Guild and the Starfire Guild, are irreconcilable.”
“Although I didn’t control the trajectory of the copper balls, I still want to say sorry.” Li Yao said in the area channel, “Of course, I don’t think I’m wrong, it’s just survival of the fittest. Want revenge? I welcome it anytime, it’s normal for killings in a game.”
“By the way, I’ll remind you guys. If you have a poor mental state, just go and play neutrals casually. It’s all cutesy there like with minors, isn’t that nice?”
Li Yao started pushing the second wave of copper balls while speaking. In his past life, he had experienced all kinds of deaths, worrying about how he would die was ridiculous to him.
Li Yao wasn’t doing this just to kill them, his main goal was always the blueprints for mechanical pets. Everything else really didn’t matter to him.
Even devising this plan was a spur-of-the-moment idea when he saw the bird’s eye view from Fire Hawk…
