Chapter 333: Another BOSS Battle
At the same time Su Sheng was leading the Dream Building Squad in a hard assault on that puppet BOSS.
On the other side.
In Baihu Main City, another tense BOSS battle was also underway.
The number of participants was not small, a full seven to eight thousand people.
Qiancheng Muxue's core group numbered around thirteen thousand, almost the majority of whom were already here.
In the middle, a huge humanoid creature was being besieged.
The remaining Qiancheng Muxue core players were scattered across the various Training Spots in Baihu Main City, drawing others' attention while also keeping watch on the War to Stop War and Dawn players.
The besieged monster, though humanoid, had an ugly face, thick body hair, wore simple beast hide, and wielded a rudimentary huge club of unknown material.
Visually, aside from the hair, it resembled the troll Su Sheng had cleared in the mine cave before.
But it was not a troll.
The hateful demon-man is a race from the Demon Race, one of its hounds.
It was towering, and the club in its hand whistled with force.
Qiancheng Gongzi stood aside, directing his subordinates to methodically besiege the BOSS.
In the very center were about two to three thousand melee players, most of whom were guard knights.
It was evident that this batch of guard knights had top‑notch gear, all uniformly equipped with Tower Shield and heavy armor; clearly Qiancheng Muxue had splurged, as the equipment for the over a thousand, nearly two thousand guard knights alone cost a fortune.
Nevertheless, even with Defensive Stance, these guard knights could only endure two hits before needing to switch T, and three hits would be almost certain death!
Occasionally one or two unlucky souls would be critically hit, or caught by a skill, or fall due to untimely position swapping.
A Commander-level Boss is no joke; back in Wutong Town, the whole town's strength was poured in just to keep Su Sheng holding off the demon general Kaker, and Kaker wasn't even at full strength.
Although now Qiancheng Muxue's core group has mostly reached level 40 second advancement, they are still facing a full‑strength Commander-level Boss.
Still, rotating the two to three thousand guard knights to take damage isn't a big issue; behind them are another two to three thousand Priest players serving as logistics, and whenever an unlucky one falls, a substitute immediately steps in.
The outermost ring comprised a ranged firepower team of over three thousand mages and archers, who, under unified command, rhythmically poured out firepower.
Another thousand‑plus players of various professions remained, providing support.
From time to time, assassins roamed, appearing and disappearing.
The outermost archers would also take turns releasing Detection Arrows within the area.
It seemed Qiancheng Muxue was poised to definitely claim this Commander-level Boss.
Thousands, under orderly command, coordinated seamlessly, and the BOSS's Health Axis was slowly decreasing.
In any case, Qiancheng Muxue is one of Huaxia's top ten guilds, so it certainly has two brushes.
The rhythm of their mutual coordination was like flowing clouds and water, pleasing to the eye; this is true legion warfare.
The ranged firepower team would also follow the command to cease attacks during the tank‑switching interval, and only resume a synchronized volley once threat levels stabilized.
There was no OT situation either.
Soon the BOSS's health fell to the Health Axis, directly triggering the mechanism.
A large group of smaller hateful demon-men were summoned.
Qiancheng Muxue's formation responded quickly; the supporting players immediately engaged the monsters, and the overall formation showed no chaos.
The one‑time summoned minions numbered over a hundred, but the thousand‑strong Qiancheng Muxue support team, at some cost, successfully cleared them.
Thus the Health Axis mechanism was resolved by Qiancheng Muxue.
It looked very smooth; barring any unexpected incidents, Qiancheng Muxue could indeed swallow this Commander-level BOSS after a short time.
So far, no major mistakes have occurred.
Of course, whether a guild charter drops depends on luck.
Soon they reached the next Health Axis.
When approaching the Health Axis, nearby melee players immediately spread out, leaving only a five‑person squad in the arena as a precaution.
Sure enough, this time the health mechanism did not summon minions; instead, the massive club in the BOSS's hand emitted plumes of black smoke and slammed down fiercely.
Boom!
The entire ground trembled, and raging black vapor erupted up to seven or eight meters, instantly engulfing the five‑person squad.
Fortunately, the surrounding Qiancheng Muxue players dispersed quickly enough; otherwise, that area would have lost hundreds of members.
When the black vapor cleared, the five‑person squad had long vanished, leaving only five pieces of dropped equipment on the ground.
"Quick! Engage! Don't let it heal!" Qiancheng Gongzi immediately commanded.
Qiancheng Lihualuo provided support in the arena, immediately charging to draw threat, and the ranged team promptly followed with damage.
After the guard knight players arrived, Qiancheng Lihualuo gradually reduced their output, allowing the guard knights to retake threat.
One must admit Qiancheng Lihualuo's threat support was splendid; if the ranged players didn't keep up damage, the Commander-level BOSS could recover a large portion of health in a moment.
However, without stable threat, ranged damage would cause OT, and readjusting the formation later would likely be more troublesome.
"Well done, staying steady gives us a chance to take it!" Qiancheng Gongzi gave a thumbs‑up to Qiancheng Lihualuo.
No wonder they're a pillar of Qiancheng Muxue; their reaction is swift.
But can they really take it down?
"Qiancheng Muxue still has two brushes, huh?"
Chen Guan watched Qiancheng Muxue's tight coordination, a faint smile appearing.
At this moment, the Yan Huang Assassin Team was just outside the opponent's Detection Arrow range, observing Qiancheng Muxue's assault.
In another direction, several assassin players from War to Stop War also observed Qiancheng Muxue's actions.
Further back in the woods, nearly four to five thousand War to Stop War players lay in quiet ambush.
It's not that War to Stop War can't bring out more people, but the troop movements are too obvious and would draw everyone's attention.
This time the Commander-level Boss, War to Stop War is basically already a sure thing; they naturally don't want to be discovered by the Dawn people.
This is also the reason why, for Zhi Ge Wei Wu, they must necessarily bring in an ally.
Both sides are waiting quietly; the Boss's HP is still around sixty to seventy percent.
Everyone is waiting, waiting for the Boss's final frenzy stage; then attacking again is the best stage.
But with so many people and such a big move, even though they've been very careful, can they really keep it hidden?
