Chapter 152 The huge gap between players, Skeleton Scourge (Please subscribe, please vote)

Some players find it easy, while others find it difficult.

This ranking trial is actually not as simple as it seems, especially for those players who participate by taking shortcuts.

A large number of third-level monster warriors and a mid-level legion, commanded by a seventh-level epic commander.

This kind of legion combination is enough to destroy some weaker player forces.

Not to mention, a scale like this needs to be resisted nine times, each one stronger than the last.

And the most fatal point is that if you cannot quickly clear the invading army of shadow monsters, you will face two batches of monster sieges.

The longer we delay, the larger the monster army will become.

……

An ordinary plane.

This belongs to a player whose main clan is the Gnolls. His previous ranking was not high, only around 200. With the help of the big boss of his family and spending a huge amount of money to trade with others, he was able to sneak in.

Among all the players participating in this regional ranking competition, he should be one of the weaker ones.

A huge amount of monster warriors came like a tide, covering the entire battlefield, advancing continuously and eroding the territory of the player's clan and tribe.

Like most players, he also set up a defensive line and did not choose to defend the tribal border.

After all, none of the players who can survive to this day and participate in the regional ranking competition are fools.

The longer the battle line, the more advantageous it is for the monster army to deploy human wave tactics.

Only by shortening the battle line can his elite warriors exert their effectiveness and those special city-defending props can be used to their maximum effect.

But what he could never have imagined was that the number of monsters would be so terrifying. In just the first wave, there were millions of level three monster warriors appearing.

From the beginning to now, he has had two lines of defense breached in succession and had to retreat to the last line of defense.

The incarnation of divine power stood on the city wall, staring at the front, at the army of monsters that was approaching like a tsunami. A hint of determination flashed in His eyes. He knew that he had to hold this line of defense no matter what.

This is only the first wave. If he can’t even make it through the first wave, then what’s the point of the spot he spent a huge amount of money to get?
A round trip?
It's embarrassing, but the main thing is the loss of blood!

After using so many resources, I ended up losing everything in one round.

"Brave warriors, we have already failed in two of the three lines of defense we have built. This is the last line of defense, and we must hold it! The tribe is behind us, and we have no way to retreat!"

The general defending the city shouted loudly and gave a pre-war speech to the tribal warriors.
"The God of Ashes will exist with us. For the glory of our Lord, this battle must be won!!!"

"For the glory of my Lord!"

"For the glory of my Lord!"

"For the glory of my Lord!"

The words of the general defending the city encouraged every soldier, and they shouted enthusiastically and responded to the general.

"This battle must be won!"

"This battle must be won!"

"This battle must be won!"

Under the city wall, the fastest monster cavalry was already rushing over from the horizon.

"Ready to fight."

The general defending the city couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

One by one, the crossbows with inscriptions began to take aim. When the monster cavalry entered a certain range, with the order of the city defending general, a terrifying rain of arrows was instantly shot out.

Swish swish————

Arrows poured down like a rainstorm, instantly submerging the monster cavalry in a wave of death.

The monster cavalry fell in large numbers under the rain of arrows, their corpses covered the ground and blood flowed like a river.

Most of these monster cavalrymen were at the third level in terms of extraordinary rank, and they were completely unable to mount an effective defense against such a powerful attack.

After all, no matter what, this is the main means of long-range attack for kobold players.

Yes, the Inscribed Crossbow is the mainstream long-range means for current players, not the magic cannon.

It’s not that the magic cannon is not good enough, the main reason is that it is expensive.

Cannons are expensive, and so are shells.

Everything is expensive.

After a few shells, the crystals burned were enough to train a third-level extraordinary warrior.

With so many crystals, why not cultivate a clan?

Simply put, if it's just magic cannons, they can still afford it if they grit their teeth, but they can't afford the supply.

Moreover, magic cannons are only useful when the number reaches a certain level to form artillery coverage.

Not every player has a large number of crystal veins and is not short of crystal resources.

Therefore, the choice of most players has become the Inscribed Crossbow. Although it is a little less powerful, it is cheap and comes in large quantities.

Under the attack of the crossbows like a storm, the monster cavalry corps suffered heavy casualties.

However, seeing this scene, the general defending the city showed no joy on his face, because more monster warriors were rushing from behind.

"die!!!"

With a roar, countless fireballs rose into the sky and hit the center of the monster army.

Boom boom boom——

The sound of explosions resounded throughout the battlefield, flames shot up into the sky, and a large number of monster warriors died on the spot, being blown to pieces, leaving no trace of their bodies. However, this did not stop the monster army from attacking, and they continued to pour in, trying to break through the defenses of the city wall.

There are 2.5 batches of monster armies accumulated, the number is really exaggerated.

Soon, the two sides began to engage in close combat, and the fight became even more brutal.

However, even if the player gathered all his forces, it was still difficult to determine the winner for a while. Later, his incarnation of divine power had to join the battlefield.

Relying on more powerful men and more elite legion soldiers, the army, mainly composed of ogres, was killing monster warriors crazily.

[Progress: First wave (5/9)]

【Points: 22412】

.........

Eternal Night Empire, Canglan River Region.

Another border town.

Unlike others who chose to defend and rely on the city’s defenses to fight back, the soldiers here chose to take the initiative and directly blocked the edge of the fog wall.

The skeleton army, which is even larger in number than the shadow monsters, directly covers the entire battlefield.

As soon as the monster warriors appeared, the skeleton warriors rushed over and killed them directly.

Then their bodies are handed over to the Lich Master to be transformed into skeleton warriors to expand the size of the skeleton army.

Although the transformed skeleton warriors cannot defeat the living monster warriors.

But there are really many of them. If one against one is not enough, then two against one, or three against one.

If your spirit reaches its limit and you cannot control so many skeletons, you can let them devour each other's soul fire and directly synthesize into a giant skeleton warrior.

The endless influx of monster hordes not only failed to scare the Eternal Night Empire, but instead added some fun to them.

After all, before this, they didn't have so many monster corpses to transform.

The Empire does not forbid killing, but it forbids meaningless killing.

Mass killing in order to transform skeleton warriors is not allowed in the Eternal Night Empire.

Now I feel happy.

Not only can they kill at will, but they can also conduct various experiments.

Under the siege of the skeleton tide, the monster army didn't even leave the edge of the fog wall and was directly pinned down and killed.

Even the seventh-level monster leader among them could only die miserably under the siege of several super skeletons, and then turned into a new super skeleton.

Not only here, the scene is almost the same in other areas that have been attacked by monster armies.

Wherever there are magicians, they almost always summon a large number of skeleton warriors. At most, the liches use them as regular pawns, and the others are just cannon fodder.

no way……

The power that Su Xingyu holds includes death, and his divine magic also includes the resurrection of the undead. In addition, in the early years, when the empire was still a tribe, skeletons were used to do work.

Therefore, almost all dark magicians in the empire know the magic of resurrection of the undead. The only difference is the degree of their mastery. After all, after becoming magicians, the first magic they learn is resurrection of the undead.

What's more, before becoming a magician, he used the "Dark Mark" to command skeletons to do work.

It can be said that the skeleton has become an indispensable part of the empire.

The first wave of monsters was not small in number and strong in strength, but they posed almost no threat to Su Xingyu. They couldn't even break the first line of defense.

Well... even the sea clan's affiliated tribe, which Su Xingyu paid the least attention to and was the weakest, managed to survive easily.

For the Eternal Night Empire today, the human wave tactic has lost its meaning. As long as the enemy's extraordinary rank is below a certain level, no matter how many there are, it will be useless.

Even those weak enemies will become sacrifices to strengthen his fighting power.

However, since he did not use any highly destructive skills, his speed in clearing the levels was not very fast.

It took almost seven days to eliminate all the monsters in the first wave.

【Eternal Night】

[Progress: First wave (9/9)]

【Points: 267854】

[System prompt: Player "Yongye" has completed the trial. You are the 135th player in the East Region to complete the first wave of trials.]

[System prompt: You can choose to go to the outer space to watch the battle. (Yes/No)]

"There are quite a few powerful guys."

Seeing that he didn't even make it into the top 100, Su Xingyu couldn't help but smile, but he didn't care much.

This is only the first wave of monsters, there are many more to come.

Being fast is useless, what matters is how long you can last.

Since the soldiers suffered almost no injuries, Su Xingyu did not make any arrangements, but simply ordered the relevant departments to speed up the production of props.

It's all fake anyway, so just create it in the open.

After arranging his affairs, Su Xingyu immediately chose to go to the extraterritorial space to check on the situation of other players.

For no other reason than pure curiosity.

……

Extraterritorial space.

The whole space is filled with light, like a big white house.

Above this "house" there is a large screen, which is divided into tens of thousands of small blocks, each of which plays a different picture. It is the scene where other players in the Eastern region are undergoing trials.

As a video screen turned into a white screen, it marked that another player had passed the first wave of trials.

When Su Xingyu came to this space, there were already hundreds of people standing here.

This is normal.

Being able to quickly deal with the first wave of monsters proved that they were all strong, so there was no need to make any post-war arrangements. It was also good to come here to exchange experiences with others, or watch "videos" to satisfy curiosity.

Su Xingyu's arrival did not attract much attention. Most people just took a quick look and then looked away.

Su Xingyu spotted two old acquaintances in the crowd at a glance, Guanghui and Blood God.

"Here..." The two gathered together. They were not surprised at all to see Su Xingyu coming over. Guanghui even stretched out his hand and waved, calling softly.

Neither of them thought there was anything wrong with Su Xingyu coming out early.

"You guys are quite fast. You came out so quickly." Su Xingyu walked over and chuckled.

"Don't blame me. I'm just a little faster than you. Guanghui is the really fast guy. He is the sixth one to come in." The Blood God waved his hand and smiled.

"Hey, you two stop teasing me. What's the point of coming out quickly? Aren't you all the same..."

Guanghui glanced at him and said, "Besides, this is only the first wave. It doesn't prove anything. The rest is the key."

Su Xingyu laughed, then asked, "You guys came out early, how are the others doing?"

"What else can we do? It's just like that... You know their strength." Guanghui was a little speechless, and said: "Except for the two bastards, the pharmacist and the black businessman, the others will definitely have no problem passing the first wave. Now the slowest ones have reached the seventh batch, and they should be able to come out in a while."

"So miserable that we can't even get through the first wave?" Upon hearing this, Su Xingyu frowned slightly. He felt that the first wave of monster invasion would not be difficult at all.

"That's normal. Those two guys weren't full-time fighters. Even though they completed their training system with us and gained a lot of things, their foundation is still far behind."

The Blood God didn't think there was any problem. The black businessman and the pharmacist were not mainstream players. Even if they became stronger and completely infiltrated and took control of the tribe, they were still far behind other mainstream players.

Especially the rewards for the first qualifying match, which made the gap between them and the players in front of them even bigger.

Both of them are very rich and are players who have no shortage of resources, but it’s no use because those rewards cannot be compensated by any amount of resources.

Given their strength, being able to participate in this qualifying competition is actually quite good.

After chatting with the two for a while and exchanging information about the monsters they had encountered, he found that the situations were similar and there was no difference, so they each started watching the "video".

Su Xingyu scanned the videos on the screen and picked out the ones that interested him. If they were very interesting, he would pay a little attention and go directly in to watch.

Before I knew it, time had passed.

More and more players completed the challenge and came to the extraterritorial space. Among them, there were some very weak ones. They were unable to quickly clear the monster army, resulting in an increasing number of monsters and ultimately the failure of the challenge.

However, the number of failures was very small after all. Normal players, whether they were killed or just holding on, completed the first wave of challenges.

The countdown quickly reached zero.

[System prompt: The first wave of monster challenges has ended. In the Eastern Region, a total of 27654 players have participated, and 24521 players have successfully completed the challenge and are entering the next wave of challenges.]

　It feels like my body has been hollowed out.

　　I have to sort out the outline, I'm almost done with the first volume.
