Chapter 1080: Strategic Diversion of Disaster Water Eastward

"This…"

However, Su Sheng hadn't finished speaking when YiSiLanDiEr interrupted him.

"There are gains and losses; although I cannot leave Yanhuang Town, this will be even more beneficial for the growth of the Elf Divine Tree."

YiSiLanDiEr said with a smile.

Su Sheng, however, showed a hint of helplessness: "Your Excellency YiSiLanDiEr, you have misunderstood; I am not asking you to go to Zhuque Ancestral City to help."

Su Sheng hurriedly explained.

"Oh? Then what do you mean?"

YiSiLanDiEr asked doubtfully.

"What I want to say is, Your Excellency YiSiLanDiEr, can you here cancel the Elf Divine Tree's shielding against that scouting force?"

Su Sheng said directly.

YiSiLanDiEr raised his eyebrows: "You mean you want to lure that wave of undead over? Are you sure Yanhuang Town can hold them?"

Su Sheng nodded; he indeed planned to launch a strategic diversion of disaster water eastward, though calling it a 'diversion of disaster water eastward' might not be entirely fitting.

But now the Elf Divine Tree is growing in Yanhuang Town; one could say their elf tribe is now bound to Yanhuang Town.

Facing YiSiLanDiEr's suspicious gaze, Su Sheng gave a wry smile: "If it were before, I would naturally not take this action."

Indeed, if he had no confidence, Su Sheng would not risk saving Zhuque Main City; although Zhuque Main City is indeed very important to the Domestic Server, Yanhuang Town is more important to Yanhuang.

Without Yanhuang Town, many of Yanhuang's projects would have to halt directly, and even all of Yanhuang would fall into disarray.

Saving Zhuque Main City might benefit the Domestic Server, but abandoning Yanhuang Town would be unfair to Yanhuang's many brethren.

Moreover… even if Zhuque Main City were lost, as long as Yanhuang remains, Su Sheng is confident he can retake Zhuque Main City!

But conversely, if Zhuque Main City is saved yet Yanhuang Town is lost, leaving a crippled Yanhuang, even if Su Sheng later wanted to do something for the Domestic Server, he would likely be unable to.

Su Sheng can still discern what is more important.

However, the Teleport Array to the Undead Netherworld has now been closed; without a continuous stream of undead units, killing one reduces their number by one.

Moreover…

Don't forget, from Zhuque Main City to Yanhuang Town, if they don't use the Teleport Array, given the movement speed of this undead calamity wave, by the time they arrive it will already be several hours later.

It is estimated that the game time will have ended, so they may not necessarily make it.

Furthermore… during this process they need not directly block the undead calamity; it suffices to constantly harass from the flanks to weaken their numbers.

Even if they smoothly reach Yanhuang Town, it remains uncertain how many will remain.

Of course, the only real trouble is that final 80th-level Lord-rank Bone Dragon!

But wait, isn't there an Overlord-rank YiSiLanDiEr? Since he cannot leave Yanhuang Town, we can lure the bone dragon to Yanhuang Town.

That 80th-level Lord-rank Bone Dragon is merely the main difficulty, but placing it in Yanhuang Town is no big deal.

That is why Su Sheng devised this plan.

"The Undead Calamity's Teleport Array has been closed; at this moment the Undead Calamity is no longer an endless disaster—killing one reduces their number by one. The only trouble is that there is a bone dragon behind them."

Su Sheng spoke frankly and clearly explained the situation.

Moreover, it takes a long time and distance to rush from Zhuque Main City to our Yanhuang Town; we can directly eliminate as many of these undead as possible along the way.

Hearing this, YiSiLanDiEr nodded: "As long as you're confident, that's fine, though the bone dragon is tough to deal with."

YiSiLanDiEr looked at Su Sheng with some amusement.

Su Sheng gave an embarrassed hehe laugh. Indeed, targeting the bone dragon was his idea aimed at YiSiLanDiEr, but what can we do?

The 80th-level bone dragon, still a Lord-rank unit, Su Sheng does not think current players can handle it; even the mechanical guardian beasts of Zhuque Main City might not be enough.

But this ancient Elf King before us is absolutely sufficient!

"Alright, you little brat, I still don't know what you're thinking?"

YiSiLanDiEr curled his lip, then waved his hand.

The branches of the Elf Divine Tree on his head swayed slightly.

"That's fine, go prepare; however, I cannot conveniently intervene against the bone dragon—I have already notified Dalian to return."

Having said that, YiSiLanDiEr turned and walked back to the town center.

…

Meanwhile, in Zhuque Main City.

As Su Sheng left, within a short time, as many as 15 sections of the city wall had collapsed.

A large number of Undead Calamity skeletons surged into Zhuque Main City; moreover, as Su Sheng departed, many Solo Players could no longer see his figure and instinctively thought he had fled the battlefield.

Without Su Sheng, the game's top player's leadership, the several major guilds' players still had nothing.

However, the Solo Players collectively felt their morale drop…

And just at that moment.

Oh!!

From the distant horizon, a terrifying roar faintly came.

All the attacking Undead Calamity skeletons paused, then even those undead units that had already entered Zhuque Main City retreated like a tide.

And the undead in the outskirts, the calamity directly reversed direction, advancing another way, and did not continue to assault Zhuque Main City!

"What's the situation?"

"What happened?"

"Why did these skeleton units suddenly stop attacking? Where are they going?"

"Holy shit! This is 'collecting the blade at death's door'."

The Solo Players who witnessed this scene chattered incessantly.

However, the members of this big guild thought of Su Sheng's departure just now…

Also, the direction in which these Undead Calamity skeletons are advancing.

Each person had some guesses in their mind, but nothing was confirmed yet.

Just then, a golden line of text appeared, drifting in the sky.

System announcement:

Mo Wen Qianchen: Everyone, the teleport array to the Netherworld of the Undead has been closed; these Undead units are no longer endless, but the situation at Zhuque Main City is estimated to be untenable.

So I have already lured the Undead Calamity toward the direction of Yanhuang Town; at this moment, the main force of the Undead Calamity should be moving toward Yanhuang Town.

Therefore, I urge the faster hunter players and those with traps to overtake from the front, set up traps along the way to reduce the number of Undead Calamity, without needing frontal resistance; all ranged players can deal damage from the flanks.

Those who are slower can go to Yanhuang Town via the Teleport Array, leave Yanhuang Town, and set up traps along the way toward Zhuque Main City.

As soon as Su Sheng's announcement came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

Many players discussed it, all curious about how Su Sheng managed to do that.

Many players looked at the direction of the Undead Calamity's movement and confirmed that it was indeed heading toward Yanhuang Town.

Meanwhile, those who considered themselves fast players have already taken action.

Furthermore, the ranged players on the remaining city walls who were previously spacing out also began to attack again.

Then let's help reduce the number of Undead Calamity…
