Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Endgame
Although they couldn’t clearly see the situations in the fog, the audience could already imagine the brutality of the battle within the fog.
Even though they couldn’t see the specifics of the battle, the audience was still very excited.
This battle was filled with suspense. To the audience, there seemed to be no suspense at all, considering the disparity in strength between both sides.
However, the actual situation was that as soon as the battle began, Starfire immediately broke through the enemy’s defense, catching the Devil Alliance off guard, and then continued to pierce through their line of defense.
Just when everyone thought Starfire was about to enter the dungeon and end this war, Starfire surprisingly made another turnaround, reigniting the battle.
This had truly become a war of attrition. The Devil’s Alliance, having a larger number of people, started to mobilize more manpower.
Although Starfire was still fiercely charging ahead, their numbers kept decreasing over time.
“Victory is just within reach, keep surrounding them.” Romeo loudly rallied his troops.
In reality, the situation of the Devil Alliance was not optimistic at all. Starfire’s main force had not taken much damage, their firepower was still fierce, and could not be stopped.
It seemed like anyone who stood in Starfire’s formation was as flimsy as paper, moreover, in order to command the battle, he had to be in the front position, and he had already died three or four times. If it weren’t for the fact that he was only level 20 and dying didn’t incur any penalties, he wouldn’t dare to play so recklessly.
He could see it very clearly, a giant spider tank, this monster was incredibly horrifying. In his view, in the army formation, this steel monster was much more terrifying than the multi-headed snake.
While the multi-headed snake was powerful and could kill quite a few of them, under their concentrated fire, it could be killed. But this monster, even now its health had not dropped below half.
It should be known that the spider tank had been at the forefront, taking in the most intense firepower.
Then there were Li Yao’s other pets, he could guess there was a fire eagle which was way more formidable than before, as well as another one acting as Li Yao’s bodyguard, Death God 4000.
A few times he spotted Li Yao’s figure and tried to rally troops to concentrate fire on Li Yao, but was always blocked by that guy. This machine could also not be underestimated, as it could continuously fire artillery shells, although the attack frequency was not high, its constant fire meant that its damage output was no less intense.
Then there was Starfire’s main team. To the right of the spider tank, he could clearly see an enemy that was clearly a priest, but holding a shield. Covered in a golden glow, similar to a golden bell cover, it was also indestructible.
To the left of the spider tank was a female knight who wielded strange means, as if she could use holy thunder spells, and was also tough.
With their blockade, Starfire’s main damage dealers followed closely, forming an indestructible arrowhead.
Under their guidance, the defensive line he organized simply couldn’t hold up. Regardless of how firm your defense is, if it can’t stop the opponent, it’s terrible to be broken through, massacring the fragile damage dealers and healers, and causing looting would be disastrous.
Of course, Romeo wouldn’t vocalize all of these, he could only continue fighting, using the Devil Alliance’s numerical advantage to overwhelm the enemy.
Although the Devil Alliance was sure to lose face, if they couldn’t wipe out Starfire once, it wouldn’t merely be a loss of face for the Devil Alliance, but they would become a joke.
While they thought Starfire was formidable, they also thought little of the Devil Alliance. If it truly came to that point, it would indeed be extremely awkward.
The battle still continued, and the morale of the Devil Alliance waned.
Finally, when the fog disappeared, the condition of both sides’ formation was laid bare before everyone.
Even though Li Yao was commanding the battle, he calculated the timing of the fog quite clearly, withdrew the spider tank, and only let Death God and the fire eagle guard.
The situation that appeared in front of the audience left them agape. The once pristine valley had turned into a complete mess, the ground was covered in scorch marks from spells, and bodies were strewn around haphazardly.
The battle between both sides had also come to a temporary halt.
“Even though we imagined the cruelty of the war, we didn’t think it would be this brutal.” Serena sighed.
Xiao Ze also said, “Starfire is indeed very strong. They were up against enemies ten times their number, to be able to put up such a fight is a miracle.”
Serena nodded and said, “Indeed, Starfire already has much to be proud of. The system has already calculated the numbers. Let’s take a look.”
Xiao Ze nodded, “Dear spectators, the system has calculated the number of combatants. The Devil Alliance still has 1325 people, while the Starfire guild is now less than two hundred people with 189 left.”
The audience gasped. The corpses on the ground were countless, naturally from the Devil Alliance. Starfire also suffered severe casualties, from nearly a thousand to less than two hundred survivors.
Everyone understood, this is Starfire’s brilliant battle record, to have not faced total annihilation till now was already an unrivaled feat.
With a stoic expression on his face, Romeo calmly said, “Prairie Fire, now you have fewer than 200 people, do you want to keep fighting?”
Li Yao responded just as calmly, “Whenever I do something, I finish it.”
“Then you’re set to lose. The final victory will definitely belong to our Devil Alliance. Don’t think you’ve won just because you took down so many of us. I’m not afraid to tell you, the more than a thousand people left are all elites among our Alliance. Now that the fog is gone, of course, even if there was fog we wouldn’t be scared.” Romeo said.
“We risked a few hundred people to take down your thousands. Now we can use this small group to wipe out all of you. Elite or not, you’re making it sound like we’re inferior to you.” Li Yao raised his Blue Moon Bow and slowly said, “Enough nonsense. Looking to stall for reinforcements? I’m not afraid to tell you either, I didn’t attack much before, but I won’t be holding back now. I really want to see how formidable your so-called elites are.”
“Well, it seems you’re not appreciative of the situation. Let’s battle then.” Romeo’s hopes of a ceasefire fell through again and he was thoroughly infuriated. He wasn’t afraid of death, but was afraid that if they lost, it would be a tremendous loss to the Devil Alliance.
More than 10,000 people had been slain, bodies littered the ground, but equipment were also scattered everywhere. Many people were saying that newly dropped equipment from the new dungeon was also present. But in this chaotic situation, they simply didn’t have the time to search.
If, for some reason, they ended up losing, it would truly be a case of losing both the wife and the troops.
With the words of the two leaders, the melee combatants on both sides collided again. This collision felt more like a guild war.
“Battle, see if your tank can survive my arrow.” Li Yao launched a level four Charged Arrow.
Thud…
The dark golden glow directly penetrated the throat of the defensive warrior holding the Counter Shield at the forefront. He was busy fighting with the Fruit Knight and had no defense against arrows.
After all, once the battle began, spells and skills were sure to cover him, and with healing and the Counter Shield, their melee combatants were the damage takers.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be talk of a melee defense line…
