Chapter 1300: Last 10 Minutes

Although the boss turned to face Su Sheng, … the boss still had a little distance from Su Sheng… Earlier, when Su Sheng was chasing the boss, he realized he could not stop the boss at all, so Su Sheng stopped.

So now, the distance between Su Sheng and the boss, although the boss's giant axe is indeed long… after all, given the boss's size, how could his weapon be small?

But swinging like this can't hit Su Sheng, yet the boss still swung his giant axe.

That's because…

As the giant axe fell, this time a huge black arc-shaped blade aura was directly drawn on the axe, plowing vertically toward Su Sheng… the ground was directly plowed into a trench, so saying it was plowed over is fine.

An attack that directly destroys the game terrain—this shows the skill is not simple!

Su Sheng saw this, his eyebrows slightly raised…

Although my defensive stance skill is now off cooldown, facing this terrifying huge black blade aura, I seemingly don't need to hard‑block it.

If it were close‑range facing the boss's giant axe attack, given the boss's size and the axe's attack range, in my mounted state I really wouldn't be able to dodge easily.

But for this long‑range attack right now, I'm not going to hard‑block you.

Su Sheng controlled the computing power beneath him, directly sidestepping to the side; that huge black blade aura just brushed past in front of him.

The three characters 'Direct Hit' appeared large, popping up from Su Sheng's head.

And that huge black blade aura thus plowed out a distance of nearly a thousand yards before slowly dissipating.

This attack range already matches that of Su Sheng's Ice Soul Divine Sword.

However, Su Sheng had no time to marvel at this; he directly raised his shield and activated his defensive stance.

Clang~!

The boss's giant axe fiercely struck Su Sheng's shield.

While Su Sheng was dodging that previous huge black blade aura, the boss had already taken three steps in two, arrived in front of Su Sheng, and swept his giant axe horizontally toward him.

This time, Su Sheng really couldn't dodge.

Hong!

However, without the demon flame blazing state, not only is that nauseating buff gone, but even the boss's own damage is reduced by about a third.

Su Sheng blocking this was actually quite easy…

As for attacking? Su Sheng still had no idea.

…

"Don't act rashly for now; while Mo Wen the Divine is holding the boss's attention, don't draw the boss's notice. Except when necessary, have the priest heal Mo Wen the Divine. Others, before the boss's attention turns to us, don't act rashly."

"This boss isn't something we can try to tackle at our current stage; just dragging it out for an hour is fine—we still need 50 minutes!"

Shen Wang and the others who had retreated into the city watched Su Sheng draw the boss's attention back, then immediately spoke up to warn.

Many other players had already realized something was off, and quite a few specifically turned to look up information on the hero unit.

Moreover, even those who hadn't known about it, after experiencing the boss's axe smashing the city wall just now, they dare not act rashly.

From the boss's appearance until now, only 10 minutes have passed, and there are still 50 minutes!

On Su Sheng's side, he began to continue wits and courage against the boss, understanding the hero unit's special traits; Su Sheng did not treat the boss before him as an ordinary game monster, but truly as a real enemy.

Just as… when he served in the troops before, facing those enemies, Su Sheng now is trying every way to 'disgust' this boss, provoke him… as much as possible, to lock the boss's 'hate value' firmly onto himself.

After the demon flame state on the boss was cleared, Su Sheng bearing the injury became much easier—more than just a little bit.

Furthermore, Su Sheng is within the healing range of the priest on the city wall!

However, for fear of attracting the boss's attention, only when Su Sheng's health drops to 50%.

will the priests with the highest healing amounts on the city wall cast healing technique on Su Sheng.

Even… those who previously gave Su Sheng a shield dare not put the shield on him now.

However, the effect is also quite obvious.

Next, over ten minutes passed, and the boss's attention remained on Su Sheng.

Facing Su Sheng's shield, this boss seems to have locked horns with him, appearing determined to cut Su Sheng down.

And those players who previously acted rashly likewise came to understand, the existence of the hero unit…

Now, everyone thoroughly dares not act rashly, just quietly watching Su Sheng and the boss unit play the game…

Until about half an hour after the fourth wave of the demon siege began…

A system announcement suddenly sounded…

System announcement: A San Server…

Everyone's hearts jumped at once.

Over at the A San Server… they failed!!

In half an hour, the main city of the National War on the A San Server was breached by their boss!

However, facing a lord‑level boss, given the situation of the A San Server, even with high‑player support from the Ying Jiang side, lasting until now… is already quite good…

After all, during the third wave of the demon siege, the A San Server already couldn't hold up… it was only propped up by the high‑player support from the Ying Jiang side.

Then, on the Beibang Server side, the players on the city wall all looked toward Su Sheng with some relief…

At this moment, Su Sheng continued to persist in playing house with this demon race boss; although the boss was still at full health, Su Sheng also hadn't fallen.

Seeing this scene, many players involuntarily opened the game forum to check the live stream from the Little Days side; they were a bit curious…

Over on the Little Days side, what is the situation now.

After all, the Little Days side also had its city wall breached during the third wave of the demon siege.

Over at A San's side, it's already been captured; what about Little Days? After all, they don't think there's a second Mo Wen the Divine helping to hold the boss for Little Days.

…

However, when everyone saw the live‑stream footage from the Little Days side on the game forum, they couldn't help but feel a bit astonished.

All that could be seen was that one‑third of the Little Days' main city of the National War had already turned into ruins.

And the Boss was chasing a group of Little Days Players, constantly attacking, with almost every second seeing two or three players killed by the Boss's axe.

Because that group of Little Days Players being chased were all Mages or archers.

During the Boss's pursuit of those players, the players darted through alleys and streets, while the Boss, being too large, would swing its axe once or twice at the narrow lanes, thereby opening a path.

This is why the Little Days' Guozhan zhucheng has become like this.

However, everyone is curious how Little Days managed to draw the Boss's attention onto a group of fragile backline players.

After all, judging by the situation on the Northern Gang's side. After all, judging by the situation on the Northern Gang's side, it's not easy to attract the Boss's attention.

Afterwards, they all began checking the related comments in the live stream.

At this moment, there were clearly many players in Zhu Lu Game who were on the National Battle Map and facing the Demon Siege live stream.

The comments were flooding in.

However, most people pieced together fragments and roughly understood the situation.

It turned out that although this Boss is a hero unit, it itself is not a genuine main body.

This Boss is merely a puppet!

The reason this Boss is judged as a hero unit is simply because the controller behind this puppet is a hero unit.

After all, this expansion could not possibly give players a wave of Demon Siege that is completely unstoppable.

In that case, nobody would need to waste time defending against this Demon Siege; upon encountering it, they could simply give up.

After all, given the Boss's stats, if it truly appeared, it would ignore everything and rush straight to the Chengzhu fu.

Then nobody would need to play.

It's simply impossible to block.

So this Boss actually still has a pattern to follow.

The Boss indeed does not aggro on hatred, but as long as you deal a certain amount of damage to it, the Boss will focus its attention on you.

Of course, this damage threshold is not low.

Thus, the Little Days side was also fortunate; after discovering this mechanism, they immediately spread out a certain distance and formed one high-output squad after another.

By doing this, they continually kited the Boss.

However, because during the third wave of Demon Siege the Little Days' city walls had already collapsed, the process of kiting the Boss could only take place inside the city.

Then the city was about to become ruins.

However, the Little Days side, by continually kiting the Boss in this way, managed to hold on.

Of course, this method essentially means filling it with lives; any group targeted by the Boss cannot possibly escape.

The Boss's own movement speed is not low; in fact, aside from a tiny fraction of hand-mounted knights, the vast majority of players facing this Boss are basically dead on contact.

Therefore, using the alleys inside Guozhan zhucheng to flee also served to better delay time, after all, if the Boss pursues, breaking through the alleys also takes some time.

…

As for A San's side, why didn't they use this method to hold out? Logically… the supporters of A San and the supporters of Little Days are all Yingjiang Players; after discovering this situation, they would certainly not fail to share information.

And actually the reason is simple… A San's side has no one left…

In the first half hour, A San basically also used a similar method to hold out. But after half an hour, the batch of players capable of reaching the damage threshold had basically all been killed under the Boss's pursuit.

…

…

After seeing the dire state of Guozhan zhucheng on the Xiao Ri Zi Server side, the Beibang players looked toward the one person still gripping the Boss, Su Sheng, and couldn't help but feel relieved once more, while also feeling greater admiration.

What other servers would need to fill with lives and rely on the terrain advantage of Guozhan zhucheng to achieve, Su Sheng accomplished alone.

…not entirely alone, after all, the Priest on the city walls was healing Su Sheng; otherwise Su Sheng would indeed have been unable to withstand it for so long.

But no matter what, Su Sheng remained the core point.

Thus, as game time passed bit by bit, the countdown for the Demon-Suppressing Army's support also decreased bit by bit.

But…

If the fourth wave of siege were really just like this, then it would be somewhat disappointing for the difficulty of this fourth wave.

Of course…

This is merely Su Sheng's thought.

The already-breached A San, and the Xiao Ri Zi Server Players currently being chased by the Boss and crying out for their parents, upon knowing Su Sheng's thought, would surely curse.

But in fact, it's indeed not that simple.

At the moment when ten minutes remained before the one-hour countdown ended…

The Boss that had been entangled with Su Sheng only then seemed to suddenly awaken from a dream.

Hehehe~

"You cunning human, you do have some skill, but for today let's just play with you here; wait until I go attend to real business."

After saying that, the Boss directly abandoned Su Sheng, lifted its giant axe, and turned toward the city wall.

This immediately left Su Sheng bewildered, wondering what the hell was happening.

But there was no time to think further; the Boss took a few steps and reached the front of Beibang Guozhan zhucheng's city wall,

At this moment, the city wall that the Boss had knocked down to one-third durability had, after repairs by many player artisans, been restored to its original state.

But the Boss simply raised its hand and brought the axe down.

The many players on the city wall, this time having prepared, fled from the vicinity when the Boss swung down.

Boom!!

This time the city wall only trembled slightly, not as dramatically as before, and its durability dropped only by one-fifth.

Although not as dramatic as before, this still couldn't hold for long.

"There are only ten minutes left; stop him."

Su Sheng, who was chasing behind the boss, hurriedly spoke.

Attack!!

At this point, there was no time to worry about anything else; the many ranged players on the city wall all launched attacks on the boss.

Moreover, without the Demonic Flame Skill on them, the players' burst damage this round actually made the boss lose HP, although it was only about 6%.

Furthermore, at this moment the boss's HP recovery was almost 2% per second; the little damage they had struggled to inflict was cooly recovering quickly.

Furthermore, after this burst, most players' high‑power skills went on cooldown; throwing out the low‑level skills didn't even make a splash.

Moreover, the boss's second axe strike had already come down, and the durability of the entire city wall was now about half gone.

At the same time, the boss's HP was fully restored.

At this moment, Su Sheng had also caught up behind the boss and raised the spear in his hand…

Ten minutes—this must be the boss's forced mechanism… With these ten minutes left, I expect the earlier little tricks will no longer work; these ten minutes will test the players' true strength.
