Chapter 752: Demon Race Expeditionary Army

Not only that, the interior of Xuanwu Main City is now packed with players.

Never mind the rest…

The first batch of War Knight players who died in the initial charge still haven't emerged from the Main City.

"Kill!!"

"Charge!"

At that moment, in the northern battlefield, massive swarms of players surged from the side toward the waves of demonic beasts.

Su Sheng glanced and knew immediately.

Those were clearly the city's players, emerging from the North Gate.

There was no way around it; the South Gate and West Gate were both jam-packed.

The players already there initially tried to move southwest, but found the nearby city gates and walls completely full, with no way out.

So they simply charged straight out.

Presumably some came out of the East Gate as well, but they headed toward the South Gate.

Seeing this, Su Sheng suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Alright.

He had still underestimated the horror of the "Fourth Heavenly Calamity".

He had originally been worried about the Demon Siege.

Now Su Sheng suddenly wondered whether the monsters ahead were enough to kill.

Fortunately, Su Sheng's worry did not materialize.

But…

Meanwhile, players surged out from both the East Gate and the North Gate.

The front line actually began to push forward…

Almost twenty minutes into…

The ranged players on the wall and the defending NPCs stared at each other in bewilderment.

Even with the wall's buff, the front line had already been pushed beyond their range.

Su Sheng saw this and was at a loss, both laughing and crying.

"Alright, you go ahead and charge yourself."

Su Sheng looked at the group of War Knights who had initially followed him into the charge.

Su Sheng fought steadily, almost never straying outside the ranged fire zone.

After all, now was not the time for Su Sheng to indulge in personal heroism.

Since they had become the commanders of this team alongside him.

Su Sheng naturally had to consider their experience and levels.

He couldn't lead a group in and end up being the only one to kill.

"Kill!"

Then, the War Knights beside him who had initially charged finally couldn't wait any longer and surged forward as well.

Su Sheng silently returned to the city wall.

Now that the front line had been pushed out, many players on the wall came down to follow and farm experience.

Su Sheng easily made his way to the top of the wall.

"A Sheng, did we worry for nothing?"

Lin Huan saw Su Sheng, came up, and asked.

Su Sheng nodded, "Seems like it."

"I'm even more curious, what level has Teng Long Company's technology reached now? So many people in the same scene, yet no anomalies."

A ranged player from the next area voiced a complaint.

"Heaven knows what black tech it is; the very existence of 'Zhu Lu' is black tech itself."

"Hehe, indeed."

Following the already relaxed discussion of the neighboring player, Su Sheng also opened a Private Chat.

He inquired about the situation over at Zhu Meng.

Their people had already returned, but they were at Baihu Main City, not at Xuanwu Main City.

However, Kong Lang seemed to have just entered the Demon Realm, where the monsters are all level 70 or higher.

There are even some around level 80.

Moreover, within the Demon Realm.

Demon Energy attribute suppression is a flat forty percent.

That means the Demon Realm is basically unsuitable for leveling.

…

…

A full hour passed.

Although there were casualties, many players.

Everyone was excited; after all, how often does such a massive group event occur?

Overall, most players came out ahead.

The experience was extremely abundant.

Moreover, there were some other spoils, all small premium items with quite good attributes.

But this monster tide seemed endless; it's been over an hour, and demon‑corrupted beasts keep coming nonstop.

…

Only, the good times didn't last.

Just after an hour passed, the front line ahead suddenly began to be pushed back.

The densely packed players of the Fourth Day Calamity actually started to retreat.

Su Sheng noticed the scene and raised an eyebrow.

At the same time, looking at the camp channel, many players began sharing monster information.

It turned out that after an hour, the first wave of demon‑corrupted beasts finally ended, but without any gap, the second wave of monsters appeared immediately.

All of them were Elite Monsters of levels 65 to 69.

Demon Race Expeditionary Army.

Although the number of players was indeed huge, the opposing numbers were not low either, and there were few players who could attack the monsters simultaneously.

Moreover, the Elite Monsters had attributes far beyond the ordinary.

Under these circumstances, player casualties began to increase.

Then the front line started to be pushed backward.

Seeing this, Su Sheng immediately spoke through the camp's command system.

"All units, retreat into the range of ranged fire support and minimize casualties and losses as much as possible."

The others weren't foolish; although they were numerous, these monsters were clearly not ones they could overpower, and even if they blocked them, casualties would still be severe.

Thus, the main force began to withdraw.

They quickly fell back into the coverage of ranged fire.

Coordinating with defensive offensives and the firepower of ranged players.

It actually held up against the soldiers of the Demon Race Expeditionary Army.

"I'll go down to help as well."

Su Sheng, seeing this, said.

Lin Huan, Li Wenwan and others were already outputting with great effort.

But now it can be compared.

The casualties among players were clearly higher than during the first wave of demon‑corrupted beast attacks.

Finally, Su Sheng led the players to retreat a further distance.

They fell back into the Priest's healing range, finally halting the Demon Race Expeditionary Army.

The battle continued.

Endless fighting, fight after fight, fight after fight…

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

But the soldiers of the Demon Race Expeditionary Army had not ceased.

Not only that.

Although the attributes of the Demon Race Expeditionary Army hadn't changed, some special elite monsters began to mix in among them.

They were all bosses; although only ordinary‑level bosses, given the Demon Race monsters already had extra attribute boosts, these BOSSes' attributes far exceeded those of the current players.

Each time a boss appeared, it caused massive chaos, because regular players simply couldn't stand it.

The most lethal point is…

These bosses looked outwardly no different; their bodies were almost identical to ordinary Demon Race Expeditionary Army soldiers.

In this situation, they were hard to guard against, and they weren't few in number.

Su Sheng, helpless, could only cease attacks on the ordinary Demon Race Expeditionary Army.

He began to monitor the surrounding unrest; wherever trouble arose, he immediately sent support.

But…

Su Sheng was alone.

On such a massive battlefield, Su Sheng being only one person was truly a drop in the bucket.

The front line that had already been stabilized began to be pushed back again.

Fortunately, everyone's eyesight wasn't lacking.

After noticing these conditions, first the guilds Hong Meng, Yan Huang, Tan Lang, Zong Heng and Chu Ge—each with Group Leader‑level experts and some squad‑leader‑level adept players—joined forces to act as a fire‑rescue team.

Next, some solo players confident in their own strength also began to form groups.

Finally, they barely managed to stabilize the situation.
