Chapter 131: Counterfeit Inferior Demon Soldiers

System Notification: The fourth wave of the siege has begun!

This time, all the solo players have become smarter.

Most of them gathered in front of the city wall, behind Qiancheng Muxue.

However, the front city wall's space is limited, so some players were squeezed onto the left city wall.

On the contrary, the right city wall has only a small handful of players.

Aside from a few unfamiliar players, it was the melee players of the Dream Building Squad, Li Wenyan, Zhang Ziyuan, and their Huacui Squad's melee players.

Next up is the Assassin Alliance.

However, all one thousand Assassin Alliance players have gone invisible.

So it looks like on the right city wall, only a pitiful few players—like two or three little cats—remain.

However, the NPC army still stands firm, imposing and unyielding; the earlier demonic berserk bears couldn't inflict any losses on these city defenders.

"Mo Wen, great god! Although we're few, those who remain are all willing to follow your command!"

At this moment, Zhu Meng Qipaoshui cleverly opened his mouth to speak.

"Exactly, exactly—if they had just listened to your command, Great God Mo Wen, we could have held off those demonic berserk bears."

Moreover, a knight player stepped forward.

"We're all willing to follow your command, Great God Mo Wen."

Others chimed in, saying they were players who had tried to respond after Su Sheng's global server announcement.

All in all, there were roughly three to four hundred people.

"Not bad." Su Sheng grinned.

Although the numbers are few, if they can cooperate, these three to four hundred can still exert considerable combat power.

In Su Sheng's view, those three to four hundred who follow orders are far more useful than the chaotic tens of thousands of other players.

"Fight fight fight!"

At this moment, uniform roars echoed from within the demonic energy.

Su Sheng's expression grew slightly grave; these sounds were very familiar to him.

Upon the city wall, the Demon Suppression Commander and the commander of the city defense forces both grew grave.

Clatter clatter~

Neat, uniform footsteps sounded.

At the edge of the demonic energy, neat, uniform figures emerged in ranks.

Su Sheng realized, indeed it was so.

Inferior Demon Soldiers!

The monsters that emerged this time were precisely Inferior Demon Soldiers.

Merely, where did these Inferior Demon Soldiers come from? Will they drop nameplates?

Su Sheng felt somewhat surprised; earlier, he, Huakai, and the Assassin Alliance members, leading the Dream Building Squad, had spent nearly ten days clearing out those thirty thousand Inferior Demon Soldiers near the Great Rift.

But here, the Inferior Demon Soldiers clearly number more than thirty thousand; their count on the three walls exceeds that of the demonic berserk bears.

However, one can see that the demonic energy far away has thinned considerably.

Buzz buzz~

At this moment, a tremor came from atop the city wall.

Su Sheng looked up.

He discovered that the Demonic Pattern Cannon was beginning to charge.

Swish swish~

Before the Demonic Pattern Cannon fired, the bed crossbow on the tower discharged first.

"Fight fight fight!"

Compared to the demonic berserk bears that were directly blasted to death, these Inferior Demon Soldiers actually performed battlefield maneuvers.

Rank after rank of shield soldiers stepped forward.

They directly blocked those bed crossbows; a volley of bed crossbow fire yielded little effect.

Awesome!

Su Sheng saw this and clicked his tongue; if the solo players could cooperate to this extent, the earlier demonic berserk bears would have been no problem at all.

Boom boom!

Just then, the Demonic Pattern Cannon finally finished charging.

A massive sphere of magical energy detonated directly within the shield soldiers' formation.

This time, it couldn't be blocked.

The front line of shield soldiers, struck by the magical energy sphere, was blown open with several huge gaps; the soldiers hit directly melted away.

Effective, but there are fewer Demonic Pattern Cannons than bed crossbows, and they charge more slowly.

Swish swish~

The bed crossbows had already fired three rounds in succession; only then did the Demonic Pattern Cannon's charging finish.

At the same time, Su Sheng noticed that the largest Demonic Pattern Cannon on the highest tower at the front remained inactive.

And the Demon Suppression Commander and the city defense forces' commander of Wutong Town were there.

Su Sheng roughly knew that cannon was reserved for someone.

As the line advanced, the Inferior Demon Soldiers quickly entered the ranged players' attack range, given the city wall's double distance bonus, making the ranged players' reach quite far.

But after one round, the casualties inflicted were horrendous to behold.

At the same time, the data for the Inferior Demon Soldiers was posted.

Su Sheng took a look; they were not truly inferior demon soldiers.

The inferior demon soldiers near the Great Rift before were level 38, and their stats were exaggerated.

But these inferior demon soldiers are only level 35, and they additionally have the trait "Demon Energy Condensed Body".

Obviously these inferior demon soldiers were formed by condensed Demon Energy; the earlier attacking monsters were infected by Demon Energy, but these are condensed Demon Energy.

No wonder the slain inferior demon soldiers turned directly into black smoke.

"Kill! Kill!"

At the same time, almost all NPC units on the city wall moved.

The mage corps' magic and the archer corps' arrows rained down.

Although the NPCs were not as numerous as the players, their attack cleared a swath of inferior demon soldiers almost instantly.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

After the line advanced again, black arrows also shot out from within the inferior demon soldiers' line.

Archers!

Obviously, Demon Energy has condensed part of the archers!

"Knight players! Raise shields! Defensive stance!"

Su Sheng bore the shield, leading the troops!

Swish! Nearly a hundred knight players closely followed Su Sheng in adopting a defensive stance.

Meanwhile, the warriors, assassins, and the like all hid behind the knight players.

Shudder!

A burst of damage numbers appeared.

On this side of the right city wall, not a single melee player died!

The damage reduction from the defensive stance is still pretty awesome.

But other directions were not like that; aside from the guild elite teams coordinating well, those self-important solo players were in disarray and were directly cleared out by arrows.

At the same time, the city wall was also a hard-hit area.

Alert players ducked behind the battlements, while those slow to react, hit by two or three arrows, the ranged professions also turned into white light.

One has to say, the intensity just spiked.

"Priests on the right city wall, keep an eye on our HP! Thank you so much!"

Su Sheng made his fourth global server announcement.

Right after Su Sheng led the charge, Shield Rush activated!

"Knight players, charge! Connect with the formation!"

Bang bang!

Although it was a bit uneven, the players behind all followed suit.

Kill!

Upon contact, Su Sheng discovered that these guys' strength was inferior to that of the genuine inferior demon soldiers near the Great Rift.

They were off by about thirty percent.

But they still pose a significant threat to ordinary players.

But it's alright; perhaps seeing everyone's cooperation, the priests on the city wall, led by Huang Mingxin and Zhu Meng Xiao E, all cast healing techniques.

That temporarily held up.

Moreover, after changing gear, Su Sheng wouldn't even flinch against genuine inferior demon soldiers, let alone these impostors.

Su Sheng led the charge, still slaughtering in all directions.
