Chapter 134: Adding Insult to Injury

Defeat!

The player base suffered a total rout, a defeat unprecedented in its thoroughness!

The only one holding out was Su Sheng!

At the moment of contact, the knight players beside Su Sheng almost all turned into white light within just two or three seconds!

Only Su Sheng remained standing.

But just in the first wave of contact, Su Sheng's HP of 5670+ (with priest buff) dropped by almost a third in an instant—you know his dual resistance is currently 1077+ with priest buff!

Duelling might be easy, but who's duelling you now?

Su Sheng's HP kept dropping, and the speed increased!

Because the surrounding knights were all dead, the monsters encircling him were all attacking Su Sheng.

Swish—

Fortunately, a few Healing Techniques landed, temporarily pulling Su Sheng's HP back to the safety line.

No choice— the other knight players were all dead, leaving only Su Sheng, so the priests' Healing Techniques had to be dumped entirely on him.

The other melee DPS players preparing to output at the back were stunned right away.

These knights— just wiped out cleanly like that?

But low-level demons immediately charged forward, giving them no time to think.

But facing level-40 low-level demons, without the front-line meat shields absorbing damage, these output-oriented melee classes were almost being slaughtered one-sidedly; even if they fought back, they only dealt white damage.

Exaggerated!

Retreat!

No choice, we can only retreat.

At this point, those players on the right city wall regretted it—they should have listened to Mo Wen Qianchen.

Since they're a gaming god, they must have a point.

If they had listened to Mo Wen Qianchen from the start, perhaps they would have already feasted on the first few waves of the siege.

But not until the fourth siege wave did a portion of players finally listen to Mo Wen Qianchen.

And now, in the fifth wave, faced with Mo Wen Qianchen's advice to retreat, they actually didn't adopt it right away.

Now, they all regret it.

But there's no regret medicine in the world.

The players on the right city wall barely gathered over ten thousand Solo Players, ending up with only two or three thousand, fleeing to the rear of the NPC formation.

In just a moment of contact, over ten thousand players were basically wiped out eighty percent.

Level 40!

And at this moment, likewise.

Whether it's Qiancheng Muxue on the front or the midsize guild on the left, all have suffered a total collapse.

…

"Wow, these little monsters are so freakish!"

"This is only the fifth wave, not all of them."

"Yeah, the fifth wave already threw out such freakish monsters—what about the sixth wave?"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness—I regretted moving out earlier, but now I'm pretty glad; if Parasol Town falls, this punishment… oh my…"

"Haha, same here—now I'm actually glad I moved out,"

On the livestream, some players who originally regretted moving out now started to feel glad they left early.

Otherwise, if Parasol Town fell, facing that level of punishment, they'd probably be left far behind in the early game.

"I roughly checked the official explanation: if the city falls, settled players cannot relocate before the city is rebuilt."

"And city construction takes at least a week of game time."

"In other words, if they fail to defend the city, they'll have to endure the game penalty for a week, during which they could easily be left eight streets behind."

"Isn't Qiancheng Muxue in bad shape? One of the top ten guilds will probably have to change hands."

The players chattered; at first they were envious, but now many feel a bit of schadenfreude.

Especially those big guilds that didn't make it into the top ten.

They're all eyeing Qiancheng Muxue's position.

Although the new game is a fresh start, the inherent advantage of being one of the top ten guilds is still there.

Wanting to seize this opportunity to contend for a top-ten guild spot may be possible, but it's hard.

But this time, if Qiancheng Muxue really loses.....

Total collapse!

The player lines all collapsed, and at this moment, outside the three walls of Parasol Town, the only player still standing is just one.

Mo Wen Qianchen!

Su Sheng!

Right now, Su Sheng's HP bar is basically riding a roller coaster.

Going down, then up again.

No choice, it's just Su Sheng alone.

All the surrounding monsters are focus-firing Su Sheng; even though Su Sheng maintained a Defensive Stance the whole time, plus his freakish stats, these are still level-40 little monsters, and they're still focus-firing him.

Although due to collision volume, the number of low-level demons that can hit Su Sheng is also limited.

But his HP bar kept dropping—splash, splash, splash—and since it's only Su Sheng left, the priests' Healing Techniques are mindlessly dumped all on him.

The Healing Techniques on Su Sheng have never ceased.

In this situation, Su Sheng won't die as long as he isn't instantly killed.

Amidst a sea of black, a single point of red!

Among the horde of low-level demon soldiers in black armor, Su Sheng, wearing red paulownia wood armor, stands out conspicuously.

Actually, Su Sheng also has unspeakable suffering right now.

Unable to retreat, with the pressing crowd, Su Sheng is squeezed in the middle alone and simply cannot fall back.

Even killing, he couldn't manage to do it that quickly.

Although when previously facing Qiancheng Muxue's core team it was also a crush of people, Su Sheng killed so fast that he could always seize an opening immediately.

Now if the Priest's Healing Technique on the city wall stops, Su Sheng will also die.

He overestimated himself, and Su Sheng's face turned grim.

But in this situation, Su Sheng has no choice; he must kill with all his might.

Soon the NPC army came into contact with these low-level demon soldiers.

However, the NPC army is also at a disadvantage, with casualties rapidly increasing.

On average, it takes almost 2-3 NPC guards to exchange for one low-level demon soldier.

As for the few ordinary demon soldiers, it takes 4-5 guards to trade for one.

After all, these low-level demon soldiers are also higher level than the NPC guards.

Extraordinarily brutal.

Fortunately, the magic rune cannon on the city wall never stopped, so the overall speed of eliminating low-level demon soldiers is still not slow.

However, because the players have completely collapsed on all fronts, many low-level demon soldiers have rushed to the positions of the city wall and city gate, beginning to attack the gate or the wall.

From time to time, black javelins also attack the players and ranged NPC units on the city wall.

The health bars of the city wall and city gate have appeared and are beginning to drop slowly.

"Could it be that the fifth wave is about to breach the city?"

"It seems quite likely."

The city wall's health is dripping away with a splashing sound.

The remaining players have all huddled behind the NPC formation; for players at this stage, a level-40 monster is truly overpowered.

Although the ranged players on the city wall are fighting desperately, their damage output is truly limited.

Su Sheng, still holding on, looks like a small boat swaying on the verge of capsizing amidst the waves.

And just then, news arrived that added insult to injury!

Ding~
