Chapter 1829 1829: Defending Sky Dragon City

Monsters attacking a city generally come from afar.

The closest to Sky Dragon City are, of course, those low-level minions.

These minions are relatively easy to deal with; even with a BOSS boosting morale, they are nothing but a bunch of vegetables in front of high-level players above level sixty. The players defending the city can handle them quite easily.

However, as the monsters' levels increase, the defending players gradually feel the pressure.

After all, two fists can't fight four hands; even a hero can't withstand a crowd.

The number of players on the city wall is limited, and they can't guarantee absolute safety...

Now that Wang Yu has drawn Mofeit away, for the defending players, it not only strips the attacking monsters of their powerful buffs, but more importantly, it gives other players the opportunity to fight outside the city.

Seeing Wang Yu running off with Mofeit, Fearless immediately commanded his subordinate, Nine Solitary Spears, "Open the city gates! Let everyone out to confront them."

"???"

As the saying goes, those without money shouldn't enter the crowd; it's unwise to persuade someone lightly.

To most people, Fearless is just a stranger, and players from Apocalypse naturally won't listen to his orders. Seeing this seemingly arrogant priest giving battle commands, everyone looked at Nine Solitary Spears with discontent.

Nine Solitary Spears, being the guild leader, certainly understood what their expressions meant.

As a longtime rival of the Quan Zhen Sect, Nine Solitary Spears knew Fearless's capabilities even better, so he nodded and pointed at Fearless, saying, "Everyone, don't hesitate; you all must listen to him!"

With Nine Solitary Spears's words, everyone reluctantly nodded and opened the city gates. Under Nine Solitary Spears's command, the players inside the city rushed out of Sky Dragon City.

"Hey!"

Although Fearless didn't like the guild system of Apocalypse, the feeling of commanding thousands of troops was indeed very exhilarating.

Seeing the players from Sky Dragon City streaming out, Fearless grinned and asked Nine Solitary Spears, "They won't ignore my orders, right?"

"Of course not!" Nine Solitary Spears assuredly replied, "I've already given the order; you are now the overall commander."

"Is that so?" At that moment, Spring Halo leaned over and asked, "Fearless, why not have them turn around and attack from the rear?"

"Damn it! Spring Halo, don't joke around!" Upon hearing Spring Halo's words, Nine Solitary Spears's face turned pale.

"Haha!"

Spring Halo chuckled mischievously, "Don't be scared; I'm just kidding."

"Go to hell." Nine Solitary Spears wiped a cold sweat and quickly issued a secret order in the guild channel, "If that priest on the wall is giving faulty commands, you must consult me first."

...

Monster sieges can be both beneficial and detrimental for players; it's not all bad.

While monster attacks may destroy players' homes, monsters are usually scattered, and they only gather during a siege. Moreover, during a siege, players earn significant experience bonuses and city honors for defeating monsters, and the drop rates of items also increase.

Thus, monster sieges can be regarded as a special event for players to level up, farm loot, and gain honors.

Those who can defend the city walls are undoubtedly the elite players of Apocalypse. Watching the monsters swarm outside, the players inside the city were already restless.

Now that Mofeit had left and the city gates were wide open, the players inside the city surged out like a flood.

Before long, everyone rushed out in one go.

At this moment, outside the city, after the previous waves of attacks, countless monsters lay dead, and the ground was littered with monster drops and equipment.

Although they were all low-level equipment and materials, even the smallest flies are meat. These junk items could be dismantled for a fair amount of rare materials, and even selling them directly to the store would provide some income.

As soon as everyone exited the city and saw the scattered equipment and materials, they immediately rushed over, some grabbing monsters, others snatching equipment, creating chaos outside the city.

With over a hundred thousand players scrambling outside, the scene was absolutely astonishing. Such a large crowd, disorganized and undisciplined, surged forward like a meat grinder, devouring the mass of attacking monsters.

Of course, in the chaos, many players were trampled or injured, and some unscrupulous individuals took the opportunity to attack others and steal their loot.

After all, not all the people in Sky Dragon City were players from Apocalypse, and since players from Apocalypse were not exactly virtuous in their daily lives, it was natural for some with malicious intent to stir up trouble and take advantage of the chaos.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Nine Solitary Spears was completely stunned.

He had assumed that once these players exited the city, they would unite against the enemy, but who expected it to turn into such a mess.

Discipline is the most crucial factor in a large battlefield, and right now, everyone rushing forward to grab monsters creates a situation where the players from Sky Dragon City have the advantage. However, the attacking monsters are still just low-level minions, which players can easily kill; no matter how they fight, they won't suffer losses.

The level of the siege monsters will increase over time, and when the monsters become too high-level for players to kill instantly, the tables will turn.

Compared to high-level monsters, players are indeed easier to kill, and the drop rates for players are much higher than for monsters. At that time, if players outside the city turned their weapons on each other, Sky Dragon City would likely fall without a fight.

"Everyone, form a line! Tanks in the front, damage dealers behind, and encircle Sky Dragon City."

Just as Nine Solitary Spears was at a loss for what to do in the chaotic scene below, Fearless made a city-wide announcement, sending commands into everyone's ears.

...

Upon receiving Fearless's orders, players from Apocalypse were fine; since Nine Solitary Spears had given the prior word, everyone naturally followed Fearless's commands.

However, in gaming, most players prioritize their own enjoyment, so who would listen to someone else's directives for no reason?

Moreover, in such a disorganized and undisciplined situation, it seemed even more exhilarating for players outside Apocalypse. These guys usually can't grab monsters, but now they could kill monsters and players alike; no one would want to miss this rare opportunity, and they naturally ignored Fearless's commands, pretending they hadn't heard.

For a time, except for the players from Apocalypse retreating to the city wall after receiving orders, the other players continued to grab monsters, attack others, and pick up equipment, having a great time.

"Damn it, this bunch of bastards dropped the ball at a critical moment! Now that they're needed, they're useless."

Seeing that other players were indifferent to Fearless's commands, Nine Solitary Spears began cursing angrily.

But that was all he did—he only cursed and didn't dare to take any action like before.

After all, Nine Solitary Spears is the lord of Sky Dragon City. With the monsters attacking, he still expects others to fight for him, so he certainly wouldn't dare to use violent means to threaten them.
