Chapter 193 Tiger and Leopard Riders! Cao Ang Appears!

Everything is ready!

After returning to the main city of Luoshui.

Hang Yu began to watch the show and wait for a big harvest.

These players are really talented. They have fully carried forward the fine tradition of plucking feathers from passing geese, and they directly plucked the wool from Zhang Xiu!

If it was just plucking wool, it would be fine.

But they really got a lot of benefits!

With the reinforcement and help from Zhang Xiu, Hang Yu saved a lot of worries.

This time, he put the Scourge Legion at the forefront to directly collide with the Abyss Army. The main purpose was to test and collect intelligence. Unless there were special circumstances, he had no plan to go down in person for the time being.

Because it is not the right time yet.

Hang Yu's strength is constantly and rapidly improving, but at present he can only ensure that he has the strength to fight against Dian Wei, but he is not sure that he will win Dian Wei in a one-on-one situation.

What's more, Dian Wei is not alone!

There are many evil people in the old Wancheng, and the Abyss Army is even larger!

The current territory troops are not enough to defeat the old Wancheng army. If they really fight, the probability of winning is not high. If they can't decide the winner in a short time, they will be in danger of being stabbed in the back and stolen by the new Wancheng forces represented by Zhang Xiu.

So.

Hang Yu stayed in the rear.

This time the battlefield was handed over to the Scourge Army.

It can not only train the Scourge Army, but also collect detailed intelligence in the process, and take this opportunity to cut leeks, so that the territory will directly usher in a rapid growth!

Of course.

The disparity in strength cannot be ignored.

Hang Yu is also worried that the Scourge Army will collapse at the touch of a button and be vulnerable.

He proposed to the players to leave the eight Canglong Guards to help, and it is not impossible to send Zhou Cang to help temporarily. Anyway, there is a blessing point in Xinye. Zhou Cang and Canglong Guards can still teleport away quickly if they see the situation is not good.

However.

For a higher task evaluation.

For a higher task reward.

The Scourge not only asked the Lord not to take action, but also declined the fate of the Blue Dragon Guards, and only wanted to fight this battle with their own abilities.

Courage is commendable!

Since there is such a strong desire to make contributions and prove himself, and he is willing to take the initiative to send himself to the sickle, how can Hang Yu object?

Although he will not personally help the players fight this time, he allows players to crowdfund to build some basic defense facilities. At present, the Scourge Army has completed the relevant deployment with the ruins of the old city as its base and the blessing of the stars as the core.

Mainly: 1 wall and 10 arrow towers.

These walls and arrow towers are very basic star buildings.

Among them, the construction cost of each arrow tower is only 100 magic crystals, and the total consumption of magic crystals is only a few hundred magic crystals. With the current financial resources of the Scourge, it is not difficult to crowdfund and build it.

If it weren't for the maximum construction limit of arrow towers in each stronghold or town, the Scourge would have wanted to build dozens more, and it would be best to turn Xinye City into a tower defense zone so that all the abyss creatures approaching could be shot into hedgehogs.

Star buildings have related attributes and effects.

The attributes of arrow towers and walls are as follows:

[Arrow Tower], a first-level building, can be effective for ten archers, crossbow range +600 meters, field of view +300 meters, arrow attack attribute +50%!

[Wall], a first-level building, can make all hostile units that cross the wall attribute -5%, but the cumulative maximum does not exceed 200 points.

It is not a powerful building.

But it is enough to effectively enhance defense.

With the Xinye City resurrection point as a stronghold, these defense facilities as an aid, and a large number of summoning spells and luck formations obtained from Zhang Xiu's side, it is enough to form a good defensive force.

At this moment.

In Xinye City.

The Scourge is still preparing.

"Eat quickly if you haven't eaten yet."

"Eat a full stomach to have the strength to fight."

"It's best to eat food that increases the upper limit of life. If you have temporary amplification medicine, prepare it in advance."

"Do you have the Taiping Amulet, Yellow Turban Blood Sacrifice Amulet, and Yellow Turban Warrior Amulet? If you don't have it, come to me and get it. In addition, the Soul-Calming Amulet is also prepared and ready to use at any time!"

"Open the Lord's Aura as soon as the enemy appears!"

"The Lord's Aura in our territory is already a level 2 aura, which can last for several hours and effectively increase combat power!"

"Check the blue medicine, red medicine, and other supplies again!"

"Warriors, rangers, count the number of arrows!"

"Everyone remember your team and mission, pay attention to the information panel at any time, and obey the command!"

"Be prepared for battle!"

"The Abyss Army will be here soon!"

"..."

The player leaders headed by several major corps commanders are rushing to adjust supplies, integrate formations, and prepare for battle.

Two thousand players!

They all showed military-like execution and obedience!

Under the autonomy of the major corps commanders, quasi-corps commanders, and player leaders, everyone knew clearly what they should do, and everyone had their own division of labor and position.

"Oh my god!"

"I can't believe it!"

"Ten minutes ago I was still feeding my baby at home!"

"Now you're here to fight."

"Hahaha, this is a battle that will go down in the history of the Three Kingdoms!"

"It's so fun!"

"I'm tired of working from nine to five, being dull and mediocre. Today I'm going to make a scene. This is the charm of a great game!"

"I'll go even if there are thousands of people!"

"Don't stop me later. I want to fight Dian Wei one-on-one!"

"..."

Dark Lucifer: "Oh, God, it's so exciting. I feel like I'm experiencing a large epic battle like in the Lord of the Rings!"

Moose Girl: "To be honest, I'm a little nervous. I didn't expect to participate in such an exciting battle."

Gungnir: "The enemy is very powerful, but that's good. It makes me feel that my soul and fighting spirit are burning!"

King Arthur: "Everyone, after this battle, our Ragnarok Corps will be established, so we must perform well in this operation and let everyone see how powerful we are!"

...

On the other side.

Xiao Lingling took out a piece of black talisman paper.

It is a consumable item that Xin Wancheng aided the Scourge.

[Extreme Yin Skeleton Summoning Talisman], a second-level consumable, white superior quality, consumes 120 mana points, can summon an 18th-level elite Extreme Yin Skeleton, the longest duration is 8 hours, the maximum activity radius is 800 meters, and the cooling time is 15 minutes.

This is a very rare second-level summoning spell.

The function of this talisman is to summon a second-level elite skeleton to assist in combat.

Its advantages and disadvantages are very prominent!

The advantage is that the spell has a short cooling time, the skeleton lasts for a very long time, and can also fight freely without the summoner. Even if the summoner is completely out of the sensing range, the skeleton can continue to stay in place and perform combat tasks.

This means.

As long as the mana is sufficient.

As long as the number of talismans is sufficient.

Everyone can summon a bunch of skeletons to assist in combat.

The disadvantage is that the skeleton soldiers have only an activity radius of 800 meters. If they exceed this range, they will be automatically released and disappear. In addition, the spell can only summon level 18 elite units. Low attributes require more mana consumption, while high attributes consume less mana.

Xiao Lingdang is a member of the first echelon of the Scourge Army. Not only has she reached level 17, but she has also cultivated her skills at a high level. She also has a level 9 Nine-bend Spell Staff and her full body equipment is also very luxurious.

Even if she activates the skeleton summoning talisman, it will consume 120 mana points.

It is not surprising that other attributes and strength are not strong enough to double it.

In general, the consumption is still very large.

However, the consumption problem.

will not cause trouble to the Scourge Army.

After all, there is an alchemy workshop in the territory that can continuously produce Qi-replenishing pills.

This kind of medicine that restores mana is currently inexhaustible. People can be sent back to the main city at any time to purchase supplies and send them to the battlefield. Players don’t have to worry about not having red and blue medicines.

As for the limitation of the skeleton’s activity radius?

This is not a disadvantage in a defensive battle!

Although the strength of the creatures summoned by this summoning spell is fixed and can only summon standard level 18 elites, at this time, no player has exceeded level 18, so it is not a bad thing for the Scourge!

This thing is a very useful consumable at this stage!

Xiao Lingling activated the spell in his hand, and with the huge consumption of mana, the black talisman paper turned directly into a pile of ashes and sprinkled on the ground.

After a few seconds, the ground covered with ashes softened immediately and shook like boiling water. Then a black skeleton slowly crawled out of it.

This skeleton is tall and thin, wearing a tattered robe, and holding a long staff like a spine in his right hand.

[Extreme Yin Skeleton Warlock], a level 18 elite unit... Introduction: This is a skeleton soldier summoned by a summoning spell. Although it is just a summoned creature, it has excellent spell ability.

This is a mage-type skeleton!

Xiao Lingling looked at the skeletons summoned by others.

The skeletons summoned by warriors such as Ye Limeng, Xianyu Tuci, Kuangdao Laowang, and Kuangkan Yijie are all tall skeleton warriors holding shields in their left hands and knives in their right hands.

The skeletons summoned by rangers such as Heitong Ruige and Guzhou are all skeleton assassins holding bone bows and daggers on their waists.

The skeletons summoned by monks such as Chenxi and Midnight Pig Killer are all skeleton priests holding a skull artifact in their hands.

This is another feature of the skeleton summoning symbol.

Players were surprised to find that the extremely yin skeletons summoned by people of different professions or different attribute ratios are different, and different skeletons have different abilities and combat power.

Skeleton Warrior: Thick blood and high defense, can carry and fight.

Skeleton Assassin: Fast movement speed, can be invisible, and has long-range attack.

Skeleton Warlock: Although it has thin blood and fragile skin and low mobility, it has several powerful spell abilities. Its output is the strongest among several skeletons, and it has the ability to attack in range.

Skeleton Priest: Although it has no output ability, it can heal and restore other skeletons, give various enhancement BUFFs to friendly units, and can also apply curse BUFFs to enemy units, thereby improving the overall combat effectiveness of the skeleton troops.

In terms of strength.

Skeleton soldiers have the strength of second-rate elites of the same level.

They cannot be compared with first-tier players such as Ye Limeng, Guzhou, Kuangdao Laowang, and Xiaolingdang.

After all, these dozen or twenty first-tier players, through various auxiliary items, skill training, and high-enhancement equipment bonuses, their strength is already close to the strength of commanders of the same level.

But they are not much different from the second and third-tier players in terms of strength.

The only disadvantage is that they have no wisdom.

"Hey, you know what, the quality of these skeletons is not bad!"

"Zhang Xiu, the old man, didn't cheat us!"

"Yeah!"

"With this special force!"

"We have a much better grasp of this mission!"

When the players saw the skeleton soldiers being summoned one by one, everyone showed surprise in their eyes, and the morale of the Scourge was also boosted!

Unexpectedly.

The troops begged for alms.

The quality is better than expected.

It is also a small elite force in Xinwan City.

At least it will be of great help in the next battle.

The defense of Xinye City is a defensive battle.

It stands to reason that when forming a skeleton army, more skeleton warriors with high health and high defense should be summoned.

However, the players did not choose to do so. Among the 800 skeleton soldiers, there are 100 skeleton warriors, 100 skeleton priests, 100 skeleton assassins, and 500 skeleton warlocks.

There is of course a reason for forming a skeleton army like this!

Although the overall strength of the eight hundred skeletons is not weak, and they can be regarded as a small elite force, they are still not enough to become a decisive force in front of the abyss army and the powerful evil.

Head-on confrontation.

It is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

After all, these skeletons cannot be resurrected. Instead of summoning a large number of skeleton warriors and letting them rush to the front as consumables, it is better to put them in the rear to provide continuous firepower reinforcements, while the immortal Scourge Army is responsible for the head-on confrontation!

One less skeleton is very valuable.

And the thing of dying and suffering.

Players are used to it!

Take the responsibility!

Obligation!

When the skeleton army is formed.

The Scourge is also ready for battle.

At this time, Chenxi, who was in charge of reconnaissance with the Thunderhorn Eagle, came to report, "A huge dark red fog appeared in the northeast direction where I was responsible for reconnaissance, and it was approaching us rapidly. My Thunderhorn Eagle was shot down as soon as it approached."

"Here it comes!"

Brother Black Eyed Rui's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance: "This fog should be formed by the collective action of the abyss creatures. I didn't expect these guys to march so fast!"

Kuangdao Lao Wang said: "It may be just a vanguard!"

Ye Limeng: "Hahaha, who cares, we have made so many preparations, and we are not vegetarians now. I want to see what means the abyss people in Jiuwan City have!"

Xianyu Tuci also said: "Prepare for battle quickly! This time we are going to shock the little brothers in the abyss with some natural disasters!"

Everyone was about to take action.

"Not appropriate!"

Jiubei Wangyue raised an objection.

Ye Limeng asked: "Wangyue, do you have any ideas?"

Raising a glass to look at the moon: "I think we should not stick to the rules, passively defend and wait for others to attack!"

Black pupil Rui brother: "You mean..."

Raising a glass to look at the moon: "Take the initiative to attack!"

Hearing this sentence.

Everyone was stunned at first.

Kuangkan Yijie laughed: "Captain Wangyue is right, why do we have to stay in the base like a fool and wait to be beaten? Our task is to hold on as long as possible and kill as many enemies as possible. Isn't it better to deal with him before the enemy gets close?"

Xiao Ma brother: "That makes sense. Anyway, we have several free resurrections and no experience loss opportunities. We don't need to waste them. Instead of waiting for the enemy to attack, we might as well kill them directly!"

There are at least two benefits to doing this.

First, although it is inevitable to lose, it can cause some consumption to the enemy, which reduces the pressure of the next battle to a certain extent.

Second, players can buy more time outside the defense line, and can also collect enemy intelligence in the process, especially the evil abilities of Dian Wei and Cao Ang, to prepare for the next defense.

"Well said!"

"I was too conservative!"

"I almost forgot that we were in a game!"

"Don't worry about life or death. If you don't agree, just fight. Now that we have found the enemy, let's concentrate our strength and hit him hard!"

"Everyone go out, everyone go out, just leave five people here to guard, if there is any special situation, report immediately!"

"Are five people enough? What if the house is stolen!"

"Don't be afraid of birds, don't we still have the skeleton army? If the old six really steals the house, don't hesitate, commit suicide and revive immediately!"

"That's right!"

"There's nothing to worry about!"

"..."

The skeleton army stayed near the blessing point to guard.

These skeletons have an activity radius of only 800 meters, which is very limited in use, but the advantage is that even if they are completely separated from the summoner, they can still exist until the summoning ends or they are killed.

There are these skeletons guarding the blessing point.

A few smart players were left to guard the nearby commanding heights.

Even if there is a surprise attack by the enemy to steal the house, the Scourge has enough reaction time. They can come back to support quickly by committing suicide before the blessing point is threatened.

After nearly two thousand Scourge troops left the ruins of Xinye City.

About four or five miles to the northeast.

At this time, a prompt sound appeared in everyone's mind, making every player feel their blood speed up and their hearts cheer up!

[Ding! ]

[Attention! ]

[The Dark Day Defense War has started! ]

[Current defense time: 0 hours, 0 minutes, 1 second! ]

"The countdown has begun!"

"This means that the Abyss Army has entered the ten-mile range of Xinye!"

Brother Black Eyed Rui said: "Everyone slow down, everyone dismount, and prepare for battle, the Abyss Army is coming!"

After receiving the order, the Scourge immediately released the spirit horses, formed a battle formation in groups, and began to wait for the enemy to appear.

About a few minutes later.

A surge of air appeared in the front field of vision.

This airflow appeared dark red in the environment of the Dark Day, rushing here like a wave, and everyone could clearly feel the powerful abyss breath filled in it.

"Be careful!"

"There are stone-winged monsters!"

The players haven't seen the situation clearly yet.

In the piercing scream, hundreds of monsters with wings on their backs and plaster-cement texture all over their bodies, like gargoyles, appeared.

They have a bloody mouth that almost splits their heads in half, but they have no eyes, so they look particularly hideous and evil. They are the stone-winged monsters of Old Wancheng that we encountered before.

They are third-level elite monsters!

Not only can they fly!

Their petrification attacks are also very tricky!

After the stone-winged monsters flew out of the thick fog, they didn't give the Scourge the opportunity to attack first. They swooped down quickly and approached quickly, spewing energy waves with the effect of "petrification curse" from their mouths.

More than a dozen monsters attacked almost at the same time.

At least one or two hundred players in the front row of the Scourge were affected. They felt their bodies stiff and their muscles turned into stone. Even moving a finger became a luxury.

The monsters relied on their super-fast speed.

They took the opportunity to harvest.

"Roar!"

At this time, Ye Limeng, Kuang Kan Yijie, and Kuang Dao Lao Wang, three top warriors, roared at the same time, and some energy shattered the petrification curse effect, allowing the players who were stuck in stiff petrification to resume reconnaissance.

New skill of the Scourge Army-Shocking Roar!

This skill can not only effectively remove the negative spell effects on itself and its surrounding companions, but also has the probability of causing interference and even dizziness to hostile targets within a certain range!

These approaching stone-winged monsters were immediately affected.

"Kill!"

The Scourge Army immediately took action!

Xiao Lingdang, Chi Mei Wangliang, and Artist Party all launched an explosive flame spell at the same time.

The three top warlocks of the Scourge, the explosive flames they detonated at the same time, like three huge fireworks, hurt at least ten stone-winged monsters, and several times the stone-winged monsters were affected.

"Lightning Chain!"

Xiao Ma Ge and several other high-level dozens launched a group attack spell, and lightning bolts could run around in the air, further disintegrating the resistance of the stone-winged monsters.

Knife Qi!

Arrows!

One after another!

One after another, the Stone Winged Demon Soldiers were shot down!

These third-level elite monsters from the Old Wan City, even if hundreds of them were dispatched at the same time, were completely unable to get close to the Scourge, let alone cause damage to the Scourge.

However.

At this moment.

An arrow wrapped in lightning and storms shot from mid-air.

"Be careful!" Crazy Blade Lao Wang opened the telekinetic barrier, then raised the advanced shield in his hand, and quickly blocked the others with a fusion of Iron Armor and wild collision.

The moment it hit.

An explosion occurred instantly.

-

263 (Critical Hit!)

Even with the protection of the amulet, the telekinetic barrier, the overlord of the broken army charge, and the shield to resist, Lao Wang still suffered a not-so-light injury.

What a strong archery skill!

Midnight pig killer: "Damn, it's that pimp Cao Anmin, he's really resurrected again!"

Slashing down the street and sneering: "What's there to be afraid of? We were able to kill him yesterday. Today, we are all in full condition. I don't believe he can still make any waves!"

Just then.

The crimson mist has enveloped the surroundings.

A large group of figures exuding the breath of the abyss walked out of it.

There are still a large number of stone-winged demon soldiers circling in the sky, and on the ground are hundreds or thousands of hideous cavalry.

These abyss cavalry seem to be of two types, one is huge and full of strong oppression, and the other is relatively small but very flexible. When observing carefully, their information appears in front of you.

【Tiger Riders of Old Wancheng】, a level 23 elite unit... Introduction: Once the most powerful heavy cavalry under the warlord Cao Cao, and the predecessor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in later generations, now affected by the abyss, it has become a terrifying demon soldier in the abyss.

【Leopard Riders of Old Wancheng】, a level 23 elite unit... Introduction: Once the most elite light cavalry under the warlord Cao Cao, and the predecessor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in later generations, now affected by the abyss, it has become a terrifying demon soldier in the abyss.

Ghosts and monsters: "Stone Wing Demon Soldiers, Tiger Riders, Leopard Riders... Either flying units or cavalry units, is this unit really a highly mobile vanguard?"

"What? Just a vanguard!"

"Don't be careless, even a vanguard unit can't be easily dealt with!"

"Look ahead!"

"There are several evil ones!"

The players of the Scourge didn't even have time to observe the appearance characteristics of the Tiger and Leopard Demon Soldiers, because there were several figures in front of these demon soldiers that exuded a strong aura and attracted the attention of the players even more.

[Cao Ang], a level 25 commander unit...

[Cao Anmin], a level 24 commander unit...

[Lü Chen], a level 22 commander unit...

[Xu Ci], a level 22 commander unit...

[Zhang Cun], a level 22 commander unit...

Five evil ones!

All of them are level 3 commanders!

The one who occupies the C position is undoubtedly Cao Ang!

This person is Cao Cao's eldest son. It is said that he is also the second person in the old Wancheng, second only to Dian Wei. Even if they are both commander-level units, Cao Ang is much stronger than Cao Anmin and others!

"Is this Cao Ang?"

"He looks quite handsome!"

I saw Cao Ang riding a highly deformed abyss horse. This horse is several times larger than an ordinary warhorse. It not only has eight legs and deformed wings, but also a pair of hideous horns on its head.

As for Cao Ang himself?

He was about three meters tall, and his body seemed to be made up of a large mass of irregular twisted flesh and squirming organs, but on the surface of his body were pieces of hard black bones like armor, and his entire head was covered with bone pieces, and only a pair of empty eyes that were spitting fire could be seen.

The most eye-catching thing.

But the weapon in his hand.

Cao Ang was holding a black sickle taller than him, like the legendary death sickle, giving people a feeling of being indestructible and being able to easily harvest lives with a casual blow.

"It's really the stars!"

Cao Ang's eyes fell on the Scourge Army in front of him.

This made the players present feel great pressure.

Five third-level commanders were already extremely difficult to deal with, and there were thousands of third-level elite units on the scene!

How to fight this?

What made the players most afraid was.

There was no Dian Wei among them!

This means that this unit was sent as a vanguard only because of its speed. The real main force of Old Wancheng has not arrived yet... But even this vanguard unit is not something that the Scourge can deal with!

Cao Ang already feels quite oppressive.

How strong is the core boss Dian Wei?

And how terrible is the main force led by Dian Wei himself!

Although the players have been mentally prepared for a long time, they still feel the difficulty of this mission at this moment... If they fight head-on, it will be difficult for Xinye City to withstand a full-scale attack!

The enemy is strong and we are weak, and the strength gap is too great. We can't fight head-on!

The players looked at each other.

Although they were calm on the surface.

But they were frantically communicating and discussing countermeasures in private!
