Chapter 128: Second Wave, Second Callout

Seeing Qiancheng Muxue's Priest step in to support the Solo Players below, Su Sheng curled his lip and said nothing.

Although they are hostile to Qiancheng Muxue, after all they are one of the top ten guilds, so he still has a sense of the bigger picture.

Qiancheng Muxue would never want this defense to fail, so supporting the Solo Players is, for Qiancheng Muxue, all benefit and no harm.

And at this time, the defense contribution leaderboard is probably filled with unfamiliar names because the major guild and players like Su Sheng who are usually at the forefront have not taken action.

But the Top Rank name is still very familiar to Su Sheng.

Late Falling Cherry!

It's the nickname of Huakai's Phoenix Blood Mage Li Wenwan!

In this situation, standing in the comfortable environment of the city wall, as a pure damage Hidden Class, the Phoenix Blood Mage's strength is perfectly displayed.

The raging flame magic is especially dazzling.

Su Sheng gave a slight smile; in this case, even he might fail to regain the advantage in damage.

But it doesn't matter; after all they're all allies, and in this attack‑defense battle, Su Sheng has only one goal.

Demon General, Kaker!

The dense flood of wild monsters, after about forty minutes, gradually became scattered.

Undoubtedly, this first wave's assault, after lasting roughly forty minutes, is preparing to end.

Ura!

At this moment, all the Solo Players on or beneath the city wall erupted in cheers!

Especially some players who got loot, they posted the gear they obtained on the public screen.

Some players speculated that the monsters in this Demon General siege not only increased experience by about thirty percent, but also raised equipment drop rates.

This made the onlookers on the forum even more envious.

First wave assault, after 45 minutes.

With the last demonic beast falling under the ranged class's fire coverage on the city wall, the first wave defense is completely over!

Clack clack clack~

As the first wave defense ends, Wutong Town's City Gate slowly opens.

The melee players who had died earlier rush out from the City Gate; they thought they could only watch the show, but unexpectedly there was a turn of events.

But after five minutes, the City Gate slowly closes again.

Other players begin to repair and recover, healing the healed, restoring mana to the restored.

Rumble rumble—

Meanwhile, the black Demon Energy outside churns even more violently.

Su Sheng knows the appetizer is over; the main course should follow.

System Notification: Second wave assault begins!

An hour after the first wave began, the System Notification appeared on time.

After a 15‑minute rest, the players basically returned to peak condition.

Roar roar~

Uneven howls rang out.

Dense "black lines" appear again.

This time the monsters are no longer the mixed troops of the first wave, but a uniform batch of corpses.

Corpses black with black vapor.

They resemble the corpses at the chaotic burial mound, but the black vapor on them is denser.

Swish swish swish~

But this time, those corpses haven't approached yet.

Clusters of green things arc in parabolic trajectories from behind those "corpses" and then fall.

Puff puff~

They explode directly among the frontmost Solo Players.

Lines of damage emerge.

There is even ongoing damage from poison status.

"Corpse poison! Damn, it can even corrode defense!"

"Me, Priest, save me!"

A couple of fragile assassins, unlucky enough to eat two or three green balls, were instantly killed.

Su Sheng's expression grew slightly solemn; he glanced up at the ranged players on the city wall, realizing that the second wave monsters, being ranged, would also threaten those ranged players.

Ranged players are generally fragile; a single slip can get them killed instantly.

Su Sheng thought for a moment, then his figure slowly vanished.

While disappearing, Su Sheng contacted Chen Guan.

The Monster Atlas was also posted on the public screen.

Enhanced demon corpses level 25–28!

The lowest level is 25, mixed with some level‑28 Elite Monsters.

Swish swish swish~

As the monsters approached, the ranged players on the city wall sprang into action.

"Kill!"

Immediately after, the Solo Players charged again.

This time, Qiancheng Muxue's core team also entered standby mode, beginning a steady advance.

The two sides slammed into each other hard.

Compared to solo players, it's clear that Qiancheng Muxue's core team players have monster-killing efficiency more than double that of the chaotic solo players.

Furthermore, with good coordination, casualties were nearly zero.

Since Qiancheng Muxue went on the offensive, their priests on the city wall naturally started looking after their side.

Meanwhile, the solo players' casualties were almost more than double those of the first wave.

Pfft-pfft-pfft~

Bunches of green balls were tossed up and fell again; even if the balls' damage didn't kill them, the corrosive defense reduction was extremely deadly.

Moreover, some green balls landed on the city wall, causing considerable chaos.

In this situation, even though Qiancheng Muxue and other guilds had already acted, the front line kept retreating step by step.

And just then.

Behind these enhanced magic corpses, shafts of cold light rose.

Su Sheng and the Assassin Alliance!

Behind them was a level-25 corrosive magic corpse—high attack, low defense—whose attack consisted of throwing green balls.

Su Sheng and the Assassin Alliance sneaked past the enhanced magic corpses, reached the rear, and began killing those ranged units.

At first it wasn't obvious, but as time went on, the green balls' attack frequency noticeably dropped, easing the pressure on defenders.

And at this moment, the defending NPC troops still hadn't acted.

Mo Wen Qianchen said, "Assassin players, follow me to sneak past and kill those ranged monsters—they're all high attack, low defense, and killing them yields even more contribution points than the enhanced magic corpses."

Su Sheng sent another global server announcement.

Some assassin players saw it and responded.

After all, head-on combat isn't the assassin players' strong suit, but they love flanking to take out squishy targets.

Thereafter, more and more assassin players sneaked over to attack the corrosive magic corpses.

The green balls' attack frequency dropped at a visibly noticeable rate.

Without ranged harassment, the players' line finally stabilized and even began to covertly push forward.

Meanwhile, the players watching the livestream were buzzing with discussion.

"Mo Wen Qianchen really has a strong big-picture sense."

"What's so great? I think he's just relying on a bit of fame to show off."

"Mom won't let me talk to idiots; any normal person can see the effect of Mo Wen Qianchen's two announcements."

"I think if Mo Wen Qianchen could take full command, things would be even easier."

"Don't I feel those NPCs are just decorations?"

"..."
