Chapter 1285: The Second Wave of Rapidly Rising Difficulty

Even so, on the city wall, most of the ranged firepower was concentrated on the formation on the northern side, helping to share the pressure.

But the front line on the Beibang side was still on the verge of collapse.

It even began to suffer casualties.

That's right, it's casualties!

At first, a group of front‑line melee players on their side fell, and were immediately pulled up by the Priest on the city wall.

According to Princess Jin Hua's initial tactical plan, after one reversal that consumed the Priest's resurrection uses, they should retreat to the second line as reserves, waiting for the built‑in cooldown of the second round of resurrection.

That way, they can minimize their own losses as much as possible.

But in the current situation, those revived melee Beibang players who fell don't dare to retreat.

If they retreat, the front line would collapse in an instant.

Thus, a portion of the revived northern melee players fell again under the Demon Race's assault and were directly sent out of the National Battle Map.

Even though the Priest on the wall kept healing and pulling blood as hard as possible, melee Beibang players still fell from time to time.

There's nothing they can do; aside from a few top players, the rest of the Beibang players, whether in skill or equipment stats, are a tier below when facing these Demon Race soldiers.

On the wall, Princess Jin Hua swung her staff to output full force while frowning at the situation.

This is the second wave of the siege!

Earlier, when Princess Jin Hua saw the System Notification indicating only four siege waves, she breathed a sigh of relief.

But now…

…

"Shen Wang, take your people over there for a moment."

Su Sheng naturally noticed the situation on the Beibang side, looked at the Shen Wang swinging a weapon beside him, and said.

Shen Wang turned his head, glanced at the situation on the Beibang side, and nodded.

Now the front line is stretched; if Beibang collapses, holding on here won't help.

"Huan Yu, leave the battle formation, follow me!"

Shen Wang waved his hand grandly, calling his own people to support the Beibang players on the right.

Huan Yu this time only brought three Thousand-Person Teams: one ranged, one melee, and one support.

Other guilds, including Yanhuang, were in a similar situation.

Although Huan Yu only took 1,000 people, those 1,000 were already among the elite on the Huaxia Domestic Server.

Thus the pressure on the Huaxia battle formation suddenly increased a lot.

Conversely, on the Beibang side, with Huan Yu's 1,000 added, the previously shaky front line immediately stabilized.

And on the Huaxia side, although pressure rose, it was still far from the limit.

Thus, both attackers and defenders stalemated at this line of fire.

A group of melee players held the front, while ranged firepower and healing support from the wall bombarded continuously.

The battle is deadlocked!

And across the battlefield, the most eye‑catching spot, without doubt, was Su Sheng charging at the front.

Even though these Demon Race soldiers were very formidable, they were still no match for Su Sheng, whose stats were already outrageous, and now he bore the Feng Wu Jiu Tian buff—truly adding wings to a tiger!

Although not every strike can instantly kill, against a Demon Race soldier he can still dispatch them swiftly in three to five blows.

The various Huaxia guild leaders' melee performances were actually quite impressive.

Shen Wang also charged recklessly; although his killing efficiency was lower than Su Sheng's, his combat style was more rugged and expansive, appearing no weaker than Su Sheng.

Next was the Twelve-winged Angel, who, after obtaining a Hidden Class, has been very flamboyant.

Even the Hidden Class's name was announced outright: Judgment Holy Knight.

In combat she is also dazzling, with beams of holy light; she can tank, deal damage, and heal—truly versatile, and she deals mixed damage, both physical and magical, and can even casually lift the health of nearby Po Xiao Guild players.

And the chairman of the War to Stop War guild… Zhi Ge Wei Wu, at some point got a Hidden Class, wielding a greatsword with fierce wind.

Besides these, Ye Tianzi, the Peak War God, and Lang Xing Tianxia, though without Hidden Classes, still performed solidly.

The only relatively underperforming melee chairman was Xuan Yuan Hua Di of the Shenhua Guild; although he used cash ability to snag a Hidden Class and wore lavish gear, his play was truly eye‑sore.

To put it bluntly, any team leader pulled from Beibang would probably be better than him.

Nevertheless, Xuan Yuan Hua Di also displayed what extreme stat beauty is, what the power of cash ability is; despite poor operation, his damage output wasn't low.

His HP fluctuated, but his healer behind him, also backed by cash ability and luxurious gear, could steadily keep his health up.

As for ranged classes, the wall was a riot of blossoms.

Of course, tallying up, Yanhuang's side was still fiercer.

Can't help it, there are many Hidden Classes…

The elf ranger Huan Jie needs no introduction: arrows of light, starlight like rain, a frosty giant dragon coiling above her head, and the surging Dragon Breath damage even surpasses that of ordinary mages.

Phoenix Blood Mage Li Wenwan! Waves of raging Fire Phoenix, also exploding with dazzling violent aesthetics.

And the Grand Master Su Ba, with streams of Yin-Yang Fish interlaced with dense sigils, also produced an ultra‑luxurious effect.

Of course, other guilds also had many eye‑catching performances.

The most elegant was Gu Qingcheng of Hongmeng… the Zhu Lu Game spokesperson.

Also the Judgement Angel of Po Xiao Guild, as a Judgement Priest, dealt real damage with full killing power.

The Shenhua Guild's unretiring hermit, the Star‑Observing Taoist, in battle truly creates starlight like rain, exuding high style.

Princess Jin Hua watched this scene and again felt grateful for her decision to cling to Huaxia's thigh.

…

The second wave of Demon Race assault was held steady on the Beibang side.

But the other servers were in bad shape.

Especially the United servers—most had barely held up in the first wave, but now, facing the second wave of the Demon Race's offensive, they were swept away like rotting wood.

City-breach announcements rang out one after another.

Within half an hour of the second wave offensive beginning, aside from Beibang, Little Days, and A San, only one United server that had secured external aid was still holding on.

Of the ten siege waves, after only the second wave, only four servers remained holding on.

The intensity of this Demon Race siege left even the top expert players on each server looking grim.

Likewise, some crafty individuals have already begun to wonder whether they could exploit this Demon Race siege to stir up something.

Especially…

Many servers turned their gaze toward Huaxia.

If Huaxia were to be besieged by the Demon Race, would they have a chance…

Based on today's situation, with ten waves per day, there are still six days left after today.

I don't know whether Huaxia will be selected in these next six days.
