Chapter 135: Demon General, Unstoppable

What the hell?

Sixth wave attack!

All players in Wutong Town were startled!

We haven't even held off the fifth wave, and the sixth is already here?

There are only six waves total—are we doomed now?

"Blown up, blown up!"

"We're done, Wutong Town is completely gone this time."

"Indeed it's a bit excessive; they were already barely holding on, and this time the city will likely fall."

In the livestream, the spectators basically all concluded that Wutong Town is done.

After all, the fifth wave offensive has already been extremely taxing; it can be said that now only Wutong Town's NPC army is holding things up.

As for the player population, aside from the ranged players huddled on the walls, melee players have become completely useless.

Even Su Sheng can't come up with any effective counterattack.

However, there is one situation: Su Sheng's contribution points are now ranked first.

Just as healing techniques from priests contribute to points, the effective damage taken by tank-class players also counts toward points, which is why those priest players are so eager to toss healing spells onto Su Sheng.

Compared to the priests' pitiful damage output, healing amount is naturally a better way to earn contribution points than dealing damage.

While those priest players keep throwing heals at Su Sheng and watching their contribution points rise, as the sole player outside the walls, the firepower he endures is naturally terrifying.

So Su Sheng's contribution points rise as he takes damage, directly pushing out Li Wenwan, who had relied on damage output to hold the top spot.

After all, at this stage even Li Wenwan's Phoenix Blood Mage damage output is somewhat lacking.

As for what exactly counts as effective damage taken, Su Sheng doesn't know either.

As the system notification sounded the start of the sixth wave, the players of Wutong Town likewise felt morale plummet.

We can't hold it anymore.

Boom—

Demon energy surged; the demon energy in the distance suddenly condensed, and even as it gathered, the originally dim sky began to brighten.

A small squad of figures appeared in the distance.

Their numbers were few, about ten or twenty people.

Is this the sixth wave of monsters?

Seeing so few monsters, everyone else showed delight.

But only Su Sheng and, lurking nearby, Shen Yang's expressions changed slightly.

Demon General Kakel!

For now, only Su Sheng and Shen Yang have seen this demon general.

And among those ten or twenty figures, the one right in the middle was none other than Demon General Kakel!

A level‑45 commander‑level boss!

Apart from that demon general Kakel, there were also a dozen or so guards among the central demon troops who looked similar to the ordinary spear‑throwing demons, but were a bit larger in stature.

Obviously these guys should be tougher to handle than ordinary demons.

However, this squad appeared at the front city wall, which for now has nothing to do with Su Sheng—he can't just leave his post.

At the same time, with the appearance of this squad, the NPC side also reacted,

The defensive installations on the city wall towers—the magic rune cannons and bed crossbows—almost immediately abandoned the low‑level demons, turned, and opened fire on that squad.

Boom—

Facing the defensive installations' attack, the guards beside demon general Kakel each pulled out huge black shields and placed them at the front.

Whether it was the magical energy of the magic rune cannon or the bolts of the bed crossbow, neither could budge those great shields in the slightest.

Moreover, the state of those guards is very familiar to the players.

Knight's defensive stance!

These monsters actually activated a defensive skill.

How are we supposed to play this?

Seeing this, all the players felt a bit desperate; they had personally witnessed the power of those defensive installations throughout the siege.

But now, those defensive installations have almost no effect against the boss squad.

"Keke..."

The central demon general Kakel hoisted a massive wolf‑tooth club and let out a grating laugh, as if mocking Wutong Town's feeble attack.

And with the defensive installations' suppression lost, more low‑level demons broke through the NPC army's line, reached the base of the walls, and began bombarding them.

At the same time, the NPC army's losses continued to expand.

The ranged players on the walls were practically giving it their all in output, but the disparity between the sides was simply too great, so the effect was minimal.

The HP of the walls and the gate kept dropping with a splashing sound.

Over there, the boss squad was also steadily advancing.

As the distance closed.

Swish—

Some players threw a few skills toward the boss.

But without exception, they were all pure white forced damage.

The attribute chart was revealed, and everyone felt a deep sense of helplessness.

Whoosh~

Suddenly, an earth-yellow talisman exploded above the boss's head.

A yellow prison cage directly enveloped the boss.

"Huh?"

Demon General Kakel stared for a moment, then reached out and pushed, but there was no movement.

At the same time, he swung his wolf-tooth club and smashed it hard, but the yellow prison cage remained completely unmoved.

"Keke, somewhat interesting, but then what?" Demon General Kakel spoke in human words.

Sure enough, after three seconds, the earth-yellow prison cage disappeared.

Prison Cage Talisman, a special skill of the Fangshi, but unfortunately it only lasts three seconds.

The one who made the move was none other than the person from the Other Shore Flower Guild, the Fangshi player known as the Other Shore Walker, the core Fangshi who had previously plotted against Su Sheng in the Other Shore Flower's plan.

But a three-second imprisonment is also useless; the rarity of this skill means that the vast majority of Fangshi players don't have it, and cannot cycle it.

Swish~

At the same time, a counterattack came from the demon general.

The guards beside him threw out one after another black javelins that tore through the air. Their target was aimed at those demon-pattern cannons and bed crossbows.

"Battle!"

Swish~

Rows of shield soldiers appeared one after another at the front of the platform, performing Shield Raise, to protect these fortifications.

But the NPC guards, only level 30-35, were directly skewered by these javelins, several killed, yet thereafter there were always fearless NOC continuing to fill the gaps.

The fortifications were barely preserved.

But Demon General Kakel also led a squad closer.

The huge wolf-tooth club was swung, smashing down hard.

Earth Rift Wave!

The same move that instantly killed Su Sheng before.

Boom!

Just a single attack directly Rend the NPC army's defensive formation.

The NPC army fell into disarray, casualties everywhere.

Not to mention the players hiding; they almost certainly die on contact.

Ultimately, the demon general almost walked through unopposed, all the way to the base of the city wall.
