Chapter 575: Chapter 575: The Final Crisis
“A boss-level monster has appeared.” Shadow Dance’s voice was somewhat hoarse as he continuously probed the attributes of different monsters and reported them to Sister Li.
Starfire had managed to resolve the crisis of the Wind Snake attack, albeit at a loss, thanks to the Charm Scroll.
Not only that, but their combat power had also increased, restraining the ranged Naga, which greatly reduced casualty rates on Starfire’s side.
But their fortune didn’t last long. Just when they thought they could hold out until the end, Shadow Dance detected a boss.
“Mark the target’s position,” Sister Li quickly commanded.
“The boss is a level 23 Black Bear King in the southeast, with 1.3 million HP. It’s most likely entry-level,” Shadow Dance marked and reported the basic attributes of the boss.
“There’s no major threat. You guys handle the south,” Sister Li said.
“I understand.” On the battlefield, there were several channels, with the command channel at the top, followed by channels for the three directions, and finally, a general channel.
The battlefield was actually divided into three defensive directions, with the area where the boss appeared falling within the area she was responsible for.
“All melee fighters, hold the line and prevent the boss from charging into our formation. All ranged fighters, pay attention to the markers and the range of spells and skills, attack the boss as much as possible, and try to take him down in seconds.”
The monster groups were incredibly dense. Despite being a Bear King, the other monsters didn’t give him any respect, making it very slow for him to squeeze in. Given his large size, it wasn’t particularly swift in reaching the line.
Following the command of the Unparalleled Enchantress, a flurry of skills rained down on the Black Bear King.
“The Bear King’s attributes haven’t surged dramatically; it seems to be a problem with the guild battle mechanism,” the Unparalleled Enchantress reckoned.
At the Unparalleled Enchantress’s words, Sister Li visibly relaxed.
If it was the normal mechanism for field bosses, their force of three thousand would certainly result in an astronomical increase in the Black Bear King’s health. But since it wasn’t operating under this rule, the pressure was naturally less.
But if the boss’s health doesn’t increase, the situation would be significantly easier.
Even if they couldn’t kill the boss, it would still occupy the attention of the ranged fighters for a considerable amount of time. Ignoring the boss would only increase the danger.
“A new boss has appeared from the west, a level 25 intermediate leader, a Melee Naga,” Shadow Dance’s voice echoed again.
“Guardian Angel, this one is yours,” Sister Li said.
“I’ll go into battle myself this time.” Guardian Angel nodded. He would have to aggro the boss when it got close.
But then, shortly after, Shadow Dance spoke again: “A level 23 Crocodile Leader has appeared from the east, but this time there are two.”
“Understood,” Fruit Knight promptly responded. Without saying, she knew the boss on this side was hers to handle.
“Big brother, what about your Frogman allies? Weren’t they helping just now?” Dumbfounded Dumb Dumb, seeing the situation becoming increasingly dire, anxiously asked.
Li Yao shook his head, “The Frogmen have already done us a great favor by helping us resist the other guilds. In the face of such a dense monster siege, the Frogmen can’t possibly risk large sacrifices to help us; and you know what happened the last time, I expect the Frogmen haven’t recovered their strength yet.”
“Look, a boss is coming from a distance, why are there so many?” This time, Dumbfounded Dumb Dumb spotted a gigantic figure in the distance.
Li Yao frowned, “This is both good news and bad news.”
“What do you mean?” Dumbfounded Dumb Dumb asked curiously.
“Have you forgotten? We’re not the first guild to face these monsters,” Li Yao said slowly.
It dawned on Dumbfounded Dumb Dumb. There were four other guilds surrounding Starfire, and the monsters would certainly not let those guilds off.
At first, they were small monsters, but now increasingly more bosses were appearing, which indicated one thing: those guilds were done for.
It makes sense. If there were only small monsters, they could hold off with wooden walls.
But with the addition of monster leaders, it wouldn’t be that easy. The newly built walls probably haven’t had time to be reinforced with spells, and continuous impacts would definitely break them down.
Moreover, the other guilds didn’t have Li Yao’s deep pockets for Charm Scrolls and multi-headed flame snake scrolls. If it weren’t for these scrolls, Starfire would probably have collapsed facing the Wind Snakes. By now, their stronghold was likely reduced to ruins.
Since the Wind Snakes had flown over, it went without saying what had happened to the guild stronghold that blocked them.
“Now that’s good. The right to allocate the first resource is ours again,” Dumbfounded Dumb Dumb jubilantly said.
“It’s too early to say that. The main issue is these bosses. As long as we can hold them off, the ordinary monsters are not a big problem given our weapons and scrolls,” Li Yao said warily.
As the rumbling got louder, Li Yao and the rest got a clear view of the bosses in the distance.
“What is that?” People from Starfire exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.
This time, it wasn’t just one boss, but three.
These monsters were coming from different directions, but with one thing in common – their gigantic size. They were at least seven to eight yards tall, with one arm as massive as a Tauren.
Their movement caused tremors in the ground. They were each holding a huge weapon similar to a Wolf Fang Club, their eyes shining with red light.
“Their health is not full, only about half left. The remaining health is over a million,” Shadow Dance loudly reported.
“It seems those guilds really are done for.” Sister Li obviously knew why the bosses’ health wasn’t full.
“We can’t let them break through. We won’t be able to hold them off,” Fruit Knight stated.
Sister Li’s face changed, “Who has a way to stop them?”
Clearly, she also thought of a very important issue. This kind of giant beast must have immense power, especially those giant Wolf Fang Clubs. If hit by one, even if one wasn’t instantly killed, they’d most likely be sent flying.
If these giants were allowed to get close, Starfire’s frontline would likely collapse.
Once the frontline collapsed, reorganizing would be nearly impossible. By then, the sole remaining Starfire guild’s base would likely be reduced to rubble.
“I might be able to delay them a bit,” newbie Mu Zi hesitated then said.
Unparalleled Enchantress also stated, “I might be able to handle them for a bit, but these monsters are too large, it’s hard to tell.”
Li Yao directly said, “The two of you work together to control the monsters from the east. I’ll handle the remaining two. If we can’t kill them, just hold them off as long as we can.”
Li Yao knew, it was finally his time to step up.
“Damn, are you serious? Don’t force yourself,” Guardian Angel was startled. This was no joke.
Not to mention whether Li Yao had this capability. Even if he did, he mentioned dealing with two bosses. These two bosses weren’t in the same direction.
To face two at the same time, how could he do that? Did he have some kind of clone technique?
The other elders also felt powerless. For their classes, it was extremely difficult to restrain a boss, let alone break into a crowd of monsters.
The audience was also watching closely. This was a significant crisis…
