Chapter 133: The Terrifying Fifth Wave Offensive

The rest period passed quickly.

Su Sheng observed briefly; overall, the players' morale remained high, except for the solo players who had gone to the left wall earlier, who looked somewhat dejected.

Too embarrassing.

There are so many medium-sized guilds, plus a huge number of solo players.

Yet the battle results they achieved were actually worse than those of the four hundred led by Su Sheng.

It seems that, this time, many players have also gathered here on the right wall, one after another.

Roughly speaking, it's close to ten thousand.

Not many, but not few either.

However, Su Sheng didn't hold high hopes either; with more people, command becomes cumbersome.

Moreover, these ten thousand may not all be willing to follow his commands like the previous four hundred.

Meanwhile, in the livestream.

"Tsk tsk, I have to say, Mo Wen Qianchen really has some skills; his command ability is amazing."

"Mainly, he himself is strong enough; several times he blocked leaks with his own sheer strength."

"It seems Mo Wen Qianchen hasn't said he'll join that guild; can we pull him into the guild? His command ability is amazing."

"Dream on; if they wanted to join, Universe would have to welcome them with open arms."

"I, young master, am from Universe."

"That's also wishful thinking; haven't you seen how close they are to the Assassin Alliance?"

"So what if they're close? The Assassin Alliance are all assassins, but Mo Wen Qianchen isn't an assassin."

"..."

Su Sheng naturally didn't know that the people in the livestream were discussing him.

After a brief rest, Su Sheng looked toward the distant horizon where black demon energy rose.

The fifth wave of monsters—Su Sheng already had a guess in his heart...

System Notification: The fifth wave siege begins!

The black energy rose.

This time, not only the players, but all the NPCs of Paulownia Town also readied themselves.

Su Sheng lifted his head and saw those familiar figures; his expression turned grave.

As expected...

Su Sheng hadn't guessed wrong.

Low-level demon soldiers!

Demon soldiers!

Genuine demon soldiers!

Although they are low-level demon soldiers, Su Sheng has compared them; the attributes of low-level demon soldiers far surpass those of inferior demon soldiers.

He had already experienced this before in the Great Rift.

Although, with Su Sheng's current attributes, dealing with these low-level demon soldiers shouldn't be a big problem, but it will still be quite taxing.

But the players definitely cannot withstand them.

A level-40 low-level demon soldier is already at the level of a player's second transformation.

Those previous level-35 inferior demon soldiers, with player cooperation, plus priests and ranged support, could still be resisted to some extent.

But level 40 is a watershed.

Even if the NPC army's average level is only 30-35, facing these low-level demon soldiers, they would likely suffer heavy losses.

The only good news is that the number of these low-level demon soldiers doesn't seem to be large.

Su Sheng roughly estimated that there are probably just over ten thousand, but less than twenty thousand, on the right wall.

Looking straight ahead, it should be just over twenty thousand; the left side isn't visible, but it's probably similar.

At this moment, Su Sheng felt something; he looked up and happened to meet the gaze of the Demon Suppression Office Chief.

The Demon Suppression Office Chief gave Su Sheng a kind smile.

Su Sheng nodded slightly in response.

Although they didn't communicate, Su Sheng roughly understood what the Demon Suppression Office Chief meant.

This is one of Su Sheng's advantages from prematurely activating the Demon General siege: the number of these low-level demon soldiers won't be too large.

If Ka Ke'er's injuries recover and preparations are complete, the number of these low-level demon soldiers will not be fewer than those of the previous inferior demon soldiers.

In that case, Paulownia Town's NPC army would even lack a numerical advantage; they'd likely barely manage to hold on.

"Why don't you fall back behind the NPCs?" Su Sheng glanced at the nearby players and said.

As for going back, the city gate is already closed.

"Ah?"

"Mo Wen the Great God, what do you mean?"

The solo players, whose morale had been high, all looked at Su Sheng with puzzled expressions.

Just now, under Su Sheng's command, they had enjoyed the fun of battle; they were originally preparing to continue slaughtering in all directions under his command.

Suddenly Su Sheng told them to retreat, which really left them bewildered.

"The upcoming monsters should be level 40; even I would find it a bit taxing to handle them one-on-one..."

Su Sheng spoke up to explain.

"This..."

Immediately, the players all hesitated.

But in the end, you look at me, I look at you, and still no one retreats.

Although Su Sheng said that, they still wanted to test the waters.

People's hearts are greedy; they still want to pick up more equipment. This is the advantage of melee players over ranged players on the walls—being able to loot equipment.

But the players on the walls are far safer than melee players.

In that case, Su Sheng naturally couldn't say anything more; let's just do our best.

"Kong Lang, you arrange the Assassin Alliance players; retreating now is also fine."

Su Sheng turned his head and said a sentence.

There was no response, but Su Sheng knew Chen Guan had heard, because Chen Guan was just Invisibility to the side.

Other players might not have noticed, but Su Sheng was completely clear.

Boom boom!

Swish swish!

As these burly soldiers in black armor approached, the Bed Crossbow and magic rune cannons on the wall towers fired one after another.

But after a round of combined attacks, the casualties were very limited! The magic rune cannons could still blast a few, but the Bed Crossbow was really just tickling.

"Battle!"

At the edge of the wall, the NPC troops immediately became agitated.

Swish swish~

Wave after wave of player attacks also covered down.

Large patches of white damage appeared, with only occasional yellow or red damage popping out.

The ranged players on the wall were startled.

No defense break!

In the previous offense and defense, this situation was rare.

But now there are large patches of white numbers.

Fortunately, the number of players is sufficient!

Moreover, these are just Ordinary Monsters, lacking boss health regeneration.

They were beaten to death in droves, but only about ten or twenty.

At the same time, the attribute panel had ranged players pasted onto the public screen.

Sure enough, they are level 40 low-grade magic soldiers.

Furthermore, there are some level 42 ordinary magic soldiers!

Whoosh whoosh~

Streams of black light shot up into the sky.

In an instant, a large area of ranged players on the wall was cleared; the small frames of ranged players facing this black light were almost certain death upon contact.

That was a spear throw!

But it's okay, the low-grade magic soldiers apparently don't throw spears; the spears are thrown by the somewhat larger ordinary magic soldiers.

"Kill!"

Melee players also began to form ranks!

But regardless, whether front, left, or right, players on the three sides almost collapsed at the first touch.

Including Qiancheng Muxue's core team!

Even if knight players activated Defensive Stance, they could at most withstand two hits!

Terrifying beyond words!

It was a direct numerical crushing, and the formation of these regular magic soldiers was tighter than that of the inferior magic soldiers.

As for ordinary magic soldiers, they could even instantly kill a knight player with Defensive Stance in a single strike.

There's nothing to be done; the players' level at this stage is really too low.
