Chapter 1283: The Punishment for Breaking the City

If nothing unexpected occurs, the first wave of Demon Race should be annihilated by this ranged firepower, then the Demon Energy environment will rise, and the second round of the Demon Siege will commence.

Su Sheng, based on his knowledge of the Demon Race and the situation on the field, made a guess.

However, many times, things turn out unexpectedly…

At first, the situation was indeed as Su Sheng had expected: the Demon Race units of the first wave of the siege never managed to break through the fire network, and all dissolved into a mass of black smoke under the ranged players' fire.

When the last Demon unit finally fell, everyone—including Su Sheng—thought the first wave of the siege had ended…

The black Demon Energy that had been scattered across the field slowly coalesced… eventually forming a massive entity resembling the wand‑wielding soldiers from the beginning.

Ugh…

Su Sheng saw that thing, was taken aback for a moment, a bit miscalculated, but not entirely unexpected.

This should be the final boss of the first wave of the Demon Siege.

Only the difficulty remains unknown.

"Group Leader, take people up! Pull it into the fire range and start attacking!!"

Golden Flower Princess immediately ordered her subordinates to rush to the top!

Swish~

The Beibang melee players who had been waiting behind the City Gate opened the gate at once and charged out, roughly four thousand of them sprinting out in a single rush.

They were all melee classes… on the Beibang side, the decent ranged classes had already taken positions on the city wall.

At this moment, the Demon Race boss had just solidified, still far from the City Gate, so this group of Beibang melee players could open the gate, rush out, and close it again with time to spare… after all, those Demon soldiers had been eliminated at a crucial spot, none could get close to the base of the wall.

However, after exiting the City Gate…

The Beibang melee players looked uneasy and began posting in the channel.

"Demonic Qi Suppression Effect, 10%."

Seeing the Beibang players' message, Su Sheng gave a faint smile; this wasn't unexpected, just a typical tactic of Demon Race units.

Nevertheless, they still have to go up!

A group of Beibang melee players acted swiftly, set up a battle formation, and moved to the spot on the city wall that is at the outermost attack range of the ranged players.

They aim to keep the boss as far as possible within the ranged players' maximum output range; after all, if they get too close and the boss uses an AOE, it could hit the wall or accidentally damage the ranged players on the wall, which would be undesirable.

However, the Main City's wall grants a range bonus to defending ranged players, so the players on the wall can still attack from a sufficient distance.

At this point the boss has not yet entered the ranged players' attack range; the frontmost first‑row T position has already started using its Taunt skill to generate Hate Value.

After all, they need to hold the boss; if the boss's Hate Value is drawn to the ranged players here, their effort would be wasted.

Thus, taunts were flung one after another, pulling the boss's Hate Value toward them.

As the boss approached, Golden Flower Princess stared at the bound players, squinting and waiting.

Boom!

Directly, the Demon soldier boss's weapon swung close to one of the Beibang T positions!

The weapon in its hand slammed down.

The T position assigned at this moment, from the Beibang fuwuqi, is naturally among the elite, holding a Shield and steadfastly facing the boss's attack.

Boom!

In an instant, that struck T position lost one‑third of its health.

This occurred despite the defending knight's various damage‑reduction bonuses and the Priest Buff, though it also suffered a 10% Demonic Qi Suppression Effect debuff.

Swish~

But it's not a big problem; as long as they aren't killed instantly, there's a Priest standing behind a whole wall of them.

Two Healing Techniques dropped, raising his health, but seeing the Hate Value, that Priest dared not continue.

The Hate Value hadn't stabilized yet; if his healing amount were too high, the Hate Value would shift onto him.

After a chaotic scramble, the Beibang DPS finally managed to stabilize the Hate Value.

Golden Flower Princess felt relieved seeing a group of Huaxia high‑level players watching the spectacle, and thought it wasn't too embarrassing.

Of course, even if something went wrong, the Huaxia have a safety net; she wasn't overly anxious, since they're her own big brothers, all here to support, and if she truly can't handle it, they'll definitely step in.

Attack!!

As the Hate Value steadied, Golden Flower Princess began ordering the ranged players to launch attacks.

The most standard boss‑clearing battle!

Su Sheng glanced over the boss stats shared by the Beibang players: an Elite Boss at level 84.

Shouldn't be hard…

"Whoa, the city's already breached."

At that moment, a Huaxia player beside them let out a low hum.

People around were startled, then realized the guy was probably watching a live stream.

Su Sheng was curious, "Someone just breached the city?"

He opened the live stream again and saw that a wall on one of the United Servers had already been blasted apart, even before the boss unit appeared.

Tsk…

Looks like the first breached server has appeared; who knows what will happen next.

Meanwhile, on the Beibang side, the boss's health had already dropped to 90%.

The Demon Race boss's first Blood Axis Trigger instantly killed the front T position.

Fortunately, it was revived immediately, and without the Priest's resurrection tolerance, the killed T position was swapped to a substitute team's new T position.

Other than that, no other mishaps occurred.

Thus, the Beibang side's boss‑clearing battle progressed steadily, step by step.

Just as the boss's HP reached 40%, the northern players had already smoothly passed the boss's Little Frenzy.

A system announcement suddenly rang out.

Ding~

System announcement: …United Servers, the Northern Main City was breached by the Demon Race, its National Fortune Value plundered by 100 million; at the same time, the ruins of Guozhan zhucheng will be established as a temporary demon lair outpost.

During the outpost's existence, the United Servers lose ten million National Fortune Value each day.

Everyone looked at the system announcement and couldn't help but frown.

This ruined-city punishment is actually so severe.

It directly loses 100 million National Fortune Value, and the ancestral city ruins have even become a demon lair; if the demon lair cannot be retaken later, the National Fortune Value will continue to be lost.

Although only the last week of this season remains, losing 10 million each day also means 70 million National Fortune Value is gone.

The crucial ranking will be decided immediately, pulling ahead by 108,000 li.

Meanwhile, the Golden Flower Princess subconsciously glanced at the Huaxia Players helping hold the line on the city wall, secretly feeling a bit relieved…

Fortunately, we have an older brother on our side.
