Chapter 153 Dark Tower, Undead Explosion (Please subscribe, please vote)
[System prompt: The second wave of shadow warriors has appeared. Players are requested to kill them all or hold on until the time is up.]

(Second wave (1/8))
(Time: 720:00:00)

The war broke out again, but the people of the Eternal Night Empire were already prepared, or they had been looking forward to the coming of war, so facing the arrival of the second wave of shadow monsters, they were very calm, and some people even seemed a little too excited.

As the system's prompt sounded, the second wave of monsters also poured out from the fog wall at the border of the empire.

The first batch of monsters that came out were still mainly at level three, but compared to those in the first wave, they were obviously stronger and could be regarded as the players' regular pawns.

And this is not the end. After the third-level monster warriors appeared, three fourth-level legions followed. In some places, even fifth-level legions appeared.

The leader of the monster army was still at the seventh epic level and had not been upgraded to the eighth level, which made many players feel relieved.

As for Su Xingyu, he didn't care. As long as the monsters everyone encountered were of the same specifications, he didn't care whether they were level seven or level eight.

Compared with the first wave of monster army, the second wave of monster army is stronger. This strength does not only refer to the extraordinary rank, but also to the weapons and equipment, as well as the army's troop configuration.

The first wave of monsters was in disarray, their weapons and equipment were outdated, and their troop configuration was ridiculous.

The second wave is obviously better, with at least three basic types of troops: infantry, cavalry, and archers, so there is no need to worry about being specifically targeted.

The powerful army of monsters has brought considerable pressure to many players. Isn’t it a bit exaggerated to have so many mid-level legions?
The intermediate level is a threshold, especially for the legion.

In a one-on-one fight, a person with extraordinary talent may emerge, relying on a stronger foundation, and using the power of a low-level extraordinary to defeat a mid-level extraordinary.

As for the Legion, that’s absolutely impossible. You’d be amazing if you didn’t get mowed down.

Although the second wave of monsters was more powerful, they still crushed the Eternal Night Empire. They were too lazy to even take action and simply set up a defensive formation.

Then just watch the skeleton army surround and kill the monster army.

All the "monster refresh points" were surrounded by at least hundreds of thousands of skeleton armies, and they were elite skeleton soldiers who had undergone "training" and swallowed the soul fire.

Since it was just a shadow world, Su Xingyu loosened his control over his subordinates and let them do whatever they wanted.

Therefore, the dark magicians and lich priests, who were already a little crazy, would naturally not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They transformed all the corpses into skeleton warriors, and then let them fight and devour each other during the twenty days to complete the challenge.

The surviving skeletons, after devouring the soul fire of their companions and absorbing their bodies, were all greatly strengthened. In terms of strength, they are now comparable to when they were alive.

The second wave of monsters was very powerful, but also very miserable. Except for the sea monsters in Haikou, the monster warriors in other locations didn't even see the shadow of the border city before they were directly killed by the skeleton army.

This situation gives people only one feeling.

despair,

Really desperate.

The opponents became more and more numerous, while our companions became fewer and fewer. We were wiped out before we even saw the shadow of the target.

The bodies left behind by the monster warriors after their death were transformed into skeleton soldiers, added to the skeleton army, and then joined the team that was besieging the monster army.

Often after a battle, the number of skeleton armies increases instead of decreases.

Except for the appearance of the sixth-order legion in the last batch of monster army, which surprised Su Xingyu a little, everything else went as he expected.

And that sixth-level legion was finally broken up by a dozen seventh-level super skeletons and elite skeleton cavalry.

Then, under the siege of dozens of times more skeleton warriors, this sixth-order monster army finally died in the northwest.

At that time, they were less than three hundred meters away from breaking through the Skeleton Army's defense line and facing the warriors of the Eternal Night Empire.

Because he was familiar with the process, Su Xingyu was able to complete the second wave of challenges much faster this time. He completed the second wave of challenges in less than six days.

【Eternal Night】

[Progress: Second wave (8/8)]

【Points: 1272341】

[System prompt: Player "Yongye" has completed the trial. You are the seventh player in the East District to complete the second wave of trials.]

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

……

Extraterritorial space.

There are many figures standing here, most of them are players who were eliminated in the first wave, there are thousands of them.

There were also a few other people who didn't fit in with them. They were the players who had completed the second wave of challenges first.

There is an acquaintance of Su Xingyu, Guanghui.

The Blood God hasn't come this time. It seems that the second wave of monster challenge will be a bit troublesome.

Seeing Su Xingyu come in, a smile appeared on Guanghui's face. The two looked at each other, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then continued watching the video.

As time passed, more and more players appeared in the extraterritorial space. Some challenges were successful, while others failed.

Until the last time arrived, nearly half of the players were eliminated in this level, including two people Su Xingyu was familiar with, the pharmacist and the black businessman.

Su Xingyu was not surprised by this.

The two of them were able to survive the first wave of monster attacks thanks to a large amount of items purchased with krypton gold and the strength accumulated in recent years, which was actually quite good.

But if players want to pass the second wave of impact, they really need some skills.

External forces are ultimately limited; only oneself is eternal.

The right path is to develop the tribe based on the clan. Even if you can be powerful for a while by relying on those special props, you will eventually be eliminated as time goes by.

Except for the two black merchants, the other eight members of Bloody Dawn all passed the second wave and qualified for the third wave of trials, and this was not their limit.

[System prompt: The second wave of monster challenges has ended. In the Eastern Region, a total of 24521 players have participated, and 15234 players have successfully completed the challenge and are entering the next wave of challenges.]

……

The third wave of trials will begin soon.

The monster warriors that appeared this time generally reached the fourth level, and there were also many fifth-level legions and several sixth-level legions.

As for the seventh-level commander.

In the first batch of monsters alone, there were more than two palms’ worth of seventh-level warriors.

Of course, the seventh-level strongmen are not a problem. The most troublesome among the monster army that appeared this time are the sixth-level legions.

The skeleton defense line that Su Xingyu temporarily set up was broken when the second batch of monsters appeared.

Skeletons have no limits, but the magicians who control them do.

Faced with the fierce bombardment of several sixth-order legions, the skeleton's killing and replenishment speed could not keep up with the loss speed, so it was normal for it to be defeated.

The soldiers of the Eternal Night Empire were well prepared. Facing the fiercely invading army of monsters, they showed extremely strong fighting ability and easily eliminated them.

However, the third wave of monsters was indeed quite powerful, so the army of the Eternal Night Empire simply abandoned the Skeleton Line of Defense and retreated to the fourth border line of defense, fighting with the help of the city's defense equipment.

It’s not that we can’t win, but it’s easier to win this way, and we can effectively reduce losses.

Although dying in the shadow world does not mean real death, you will be offline for a period of time and will not be able to help in subsequent challenges. Therefore, if you want to hold on longer, conserving your strength is a must.

The combat effectiveness of the Eternal Night Empire's army is indeed very strong, but it is not invincible after all. The current army of monsters can already pose a threat to them.

If a fight breaks out, the casualties won't be high.

But each batch of monsters consumes a little, and nine batches together will be a lot.

Therefore, unless necessary, Su Xingyu would not send the elite army into the battlefield. They had to conserve their strength to deal with the truly powerful enemies.

The border city, which has deployed a large number of city defense equipment and props, has an incredibly strong defensive capability.

Here, the army of the Eternal Night Empire fought a fierce battle with the army of monsters.

Boom boom boom————

There was continuous artillery fire and terrifying energy cannons poured down, engulfing the monster army in a sea of ​​fire.

There are nearly a thousand magic cannons, of which there are hundreds of epic-level cannons alone, and the lowest-level ones are all modified versions of gold-level cannons.

Even a dwarf player who specializes in forging cannot accumulate so many terrifying cannons.

When nearly a thousand magical cannons fired at the same time, no monster could withstand such horrific firepower. Flames shot up into the sky, explosions were deafening, and the entire battlefield seemed to have turned into a purgatory.

But this level alone is far from enough to deal with the third wave of monsters.

The warriors of several sixth-level monster legions roared, and thick red fighting spirit rose into the sky, covering the entire legion and holding up an energy shield like a city wall. They charged towards the city under the artillery fire.

When they were about to reach the city wall, among the monster army, a legion of fifth-level monsters that were good at magic, the priests raised their staffs and then inserted them into the ground.

Rumble————

The next moment, with a low roar, the ground shook wildly, and all the monster warriors, including the black-armored warriors inside the city, began to shake along with it.

As if controlled by some mysterious force, the ground undulated like waves. Then, the ground in front of the city wall suddenly bulged up, forming an inclined earth ramp hundreds of meters wide and over a hundred meters long.

The monster commander, leading the ferocious monster cavalry, roared and galloped up the dirt slope, heading straight for the city wall.

Their eyes were bloodshot, and their faces beneath the masks looked hideous and terrifying. The weapons in their hands reflected a cold light under the sunlight, giving people a strong sense of oppression, as if a knife was placed on their necks.

Before the soldiers on the city wall could launch a counterattack, the monster warriors on both sides of the ramp took a short axe from their backs, and after a little accumulation of strength, they threw it forward.

Puff puff--

The short axe cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

It drew graceful arcs in the air and headed straight for the black-armored warriors on the city wall.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the monster cavalry rushed up the slope and surged forward at an almost crazy speed.

The black-armored warrior on the city wall was not panicked at all. He had a sneer on his face, as if he didn't see the coming flying axe.

bang bang bang-

A dark pillar of light suddenly rose in the center of the city and in four directions, and a dark defense shield instantly enveloped the entire city. Tens of thousands of axes hit the defense shield, making a dull sound, but failed to penetrate the indestructible barrier, and some were even bounced back into the monster army.

And this is not over yet. The next moment, the dark magician who was sitting cross-legged on the dark tower in the city stood up, raised his staff high, and his aura began to soar wildly, directly breaking through the seventh level and reaching the eighth level.

"Dark Coil!"

He just sighed softly, and an invisible energy covered the entire slope. In an instant, countless dark vines emerged from the slope, from bottom to top, entangling the entire monster cavalry.

Then, before they could break free, countless spears condensed from dark energy poured down like a rainstorm. The immobile monster cavalry could only allow the spears to pierce their bodies, unable to dodge or fight back.

For a moment, the dirt slope was filled with shrill screams and the deaths were extremely tragic.

"Resurrection of the Undead!"

The dark light instantly spread to the entire battlefield. The dead monster warrior climbed up from the ground tremblingly, and the flesh and blood on his body quickly dissipated, and finally a red ball condensed where the heart had originally been.

As soon as they are revived, they will seek out the nearest enemy and hug them.

The red ball at the heart began to swell rapidly, and then there was a bang.

"Dead Explosion!"

Boom boom boom boom boom———

No one knew how many corpses there were on the battlefield just now, but they were everywhere.

So explosions were everywhere, covering the entire battlefield.

The "bomb" that condenses nearly half of the blood and energy of the extraordinary body is no less powerful than a magic cannon, even if its utilization efficiency is a bit low.

For a moment, explosions were seen everywhere.

The undead that had just been resurrected were directly turned into pieces, and the monster warriors they were holding were also blown into blood clots.

There were too many "bombs" and they were everywhere, and no monster could avoid them.

After a wave of huge explosions, the number of monster warriors on the entire battlefield was directly reduced by 90%.

Even the monster leader of the seventh level epic realm suffered such a horrific blow. Although he did not die, he was severely injured and lost his combat effectiveness instantly.

ended.

The war is over.

Gollum—

The entire battlefield was in a mess, with broken limbs and bloody corpses everywhere. Looking at the scene that was worse than hell, even the black-armored warriors on the city wall couldn't help but feel a little horrified.

What a horrible blow! ?
Even the dark magician who performed this move was surprised when he saw the situation on the battlefield.

He had performed Necroblast before.

But it was the first time for him to use such a large number of bombs of such good quality.

This power is truly terrifying.

"Clean the battlefield."

The leader of the human garrison looked calm, and gave orders as before. One by one, strong men leaped down and began to finish off the surviving monster warriors.

Then, the terrifying dark energy covered the battlefield again.

Countless bones flew up from the ground and then pieced together in the air. After a while, they formed super-large skeletons that were dozens of meters high.
