Chapter 1271: Interesting…

"The tank slot over there, get ready to replace my shikigami."

"Keep the aggro steady; slow down the damage output over there a bit. You want OT, don't you? You too—your guild spent so many resources on you, you can't even deal damage alone, you still need my shikigami's support, and now you can't even hold aggro?"

"Hold steady, Priest, quickly raise my shikigami's health!"

"Mages, keep pressure; archers, follow up!"

"Now's the time—Assassins, flank and unleash a burst!"

"Good! Warriors, bring your damage forward!"

"Come on!"

In an open clearing, a group of Little Days Players were fervently besieging a massive black‑armored figure.

Leading them was none other than the Chairman of the Yamaguchi Group, one of Little Days' top guilds…Xiaoqian Cilang!

He is a Hidden Class Onmyoji of Little Days.

I have to say, from what I see, the Onmyoji class is somewhat like a Summoner, yet there are differences; they summon shikigami, but their own damage isn't low either.

At this moment, Xiaoqian Cilang had two shikigami out—well, actually one—a turtle‑like entity that, together with the Yamaguchi Group's main tank, took turns absorbing the Boss's damage.

Besides that, a black, winged large dog stood nearby, occasionally lunging at the Boss for damage.

Next to Xiaoqian Cilang floated a ghostly woman in an ancient long dress, constantly waving her long sleeves and emitting dark‑colored light spheres.

Above his head hovered a paper figure, motionless except for drifting; Su Sheng recognized it—when they clashed before, it seemed to be his Survival Tactic, a sacrificial paper figure?

In addition, there was a party of roughly three thousand players cooperating to take down the Boss.

It looked like an Elite Boss of the Demon Race, though its level was unknown…

Su Sheng habitually ventured out and dropped by Little Days, never expecting to witness such a spectacle.

Since he saw it, he couldn't possibly miss it.

While the battle raged there, Su Sheng idly opened the game forum and began scrolling posts.

Soon, he came across a very interesting post.

A player from Kangaroo Nation, ranked around 800 on the Honor Board, suddenly saw his points surge by over 100,000, leaping straight into the top 100.

That made Su Sheng curious; upon closer look, he discovered the player solo‑cleared a Normal Boss of the Demon Race.

He was an archer with decent agility, and the Demon Race Boss happened to be a bulky type.

But how long was that?

That Kangaroo Nation player managed to kill a Normal Boss in such a short span—truly, heroes are like minnows crossing a river.

Even if Su Sheng tried, he'd need lucky Weak Point Critical Hits constantly and a direct slash at the ten‑percent mark.

Otherwise, given the Demon Race monster strength on this National War Map, Su Sheng couldn't achieve it that quickly.

Seeing the over three thousand Little Days Players struggling makes it clear—they're likely elite members of the Yamaguchi Group, and everyone entering the National War Map is at least level 80 and Fourth Rebirth.

Thus, generally…

Climbing this Honor Board isn't easy for anyone.

After two months, the number of players who could enter the National War Map activity has already exceeded a hundred million; based on rough data estimates, active players on the National War Map now total over 400 million, approaching 500 million.

In this situation, anyone who reaches the top 1,000 must have some Bottom Card.

"Everyone, conserve some power; let me take the final blow on the Boss."

"Whether we can snatch the National War commander spot depends on this wave."

Obviously, Xiaoqian Cilang's side must have caught wind of this.

Thus, while directing the battle, he also reminded them that, in a Boss fight, securing the final blow guarantees a high team contribution share, likely earning the most National War Merit.

Xiaoqian Cilang probably still longs for the exclusive custom treasure vault; currently, the commander on the Xiao Ri Zi Server seems to be Feng Wen's One‑Blade Style.

But at first, Su Sheng noticed that the Chairmen of several major Little Days guilds seemed to take turns seizing the commander position.

Therefore, they should all be aware of the commander's exclusive custom treasure vault.

Of course, Xiaoqian Cilang's hopes are now certainly dashed.

"Watch the Health Axis! Keep two knights pulling aggro, the rest fall back, then unleash the final burst and hold the Boss's health for me."

At this point, the battle ahead was extremely fierce, already reaching about 70% of the Health Axis.

Seeing them sacrifice a defending knight to get through this Health Axis, the Boss regained a bit of health but it was negligible; the fallen knight was revived by the Priest's resurrection, costing only about 10% experience overall.

I have to admit, as one of Little Days' top guilds, they still have some substance.

However, while waiting, Su Sheng noticed something interesting.

In front of him, someone!

A…

Stealth unit.

Su Sheng was waiting quietly, when he suddenly sensed the guy inching toward him from afar.

And, annoyingly, it stopped about four yards away, motionless.

Presumably also observing the situation.

No idea who it was.

Su Sheng found it somewhat amusing, looking at the empty spot ahead; the skill was decent, a lone ranger, and the spot was indeed perfect for watching the Little Days area.

After it halted, even Su Sheng couldn't detect it, but when it moved earlier, a slight gust of air it stirred was noticed by Su Sheng.

The most exhilarating class on the National War Map now is undoubtedly the Assassin; this is a massive hunting ground where they appear and vanish, truly thrilling.

Perhaps the hunting efficiency isn't the fastest, but the kills are definitely the most satisfying and reliable.

Just look at the Yan Huang Assassin Team's kill‑hungry members chatting happily in the Guild Channel daily.

Confident lone assassins who roam solo on the Bold Map still possess some skill.

As for whether he can discover Su Sheng?

As long as Su Sheng doesn't actively expose himself, unless he happens to move into his position and bump into him—after all, although he has entered stealth, his collision volume is real.

Otherwise he could never discover Su Sheng.

Anyway, the boss still has plenty of HP, Su Sheng isn't in a hurry for now, so he just waited like that.

As for this assassin in front, I don't know if he's friend or foe, for now I'll ignore him.
