Chapter 157: Chapter 109: Annihilating Over 1,000 Bosses in 10 Seconds, Defense Successful
At this moment, with the roles reversed, a countless swarm from the Ghost Race surged forward. Their boss was the Ghost Emperor, who commanded hundreds of millions of Ghost Soldiers.
"Damn it! I can’t use my Domain. If I could just activate Zhong Kui’s Ten Thousand Ghosts Domain, I’d clear this stage in a second!"
He saw three Ghost Emperors already stepping out from a distant Teleportation Gate. Muttering a complaint, Shen Fei immediately waved his hand. The Zhongkui Tower’s cooldown was up, and he activated it, summoning another wave of Zhong Kui.
"Huh?"
To his surprise, Shen Fei saw an entire row—a total of ten Zhong Kui—had been summoned.
"Holy crap! Someone’s Probability Enhancement Tower must have landed a critical hit!" he exclaimed. "Ten of them in one go??"
Shen Fei himself was startled as he watched the ten Zhong Kui in front of him. Their mouths suddenly split open down to their chests, and their massive maws chomped down, tearing a newly appeared, heaven-and-earth-shaking Ghost Emperor into ten pieces.
Finally, some good news!
Most of his comrades’ Defense Towers were Seventh Tier. When a Seventh Tier Probability Enhancement Tower was used on his Tenth Tier Defense Towers, its effect was diminished. Shen Fei hadn’t expected that, at this moment, by some stroke of luck, it had not only worked but also scored a critical hit—and the maximum tenfold critical at that. Ten Zhong Kui summoned at once!
"Get ’em!!"
A single Zhong Kui could hold off one Ghost Emperor. Right now, he had ten of them, even if they only lasted a few minutes. But the sheer number of them was astounding! Instantly, it became a ten-on-one fight. Not a single Ghost Emperor could withstand it!
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Shen Fei saw that the ten Zhong Kui were even coordinating their attacks. In the blink of an eye, three Ghost Emperors on the battlefield were slain.
Holy crap, is City No. 6 going to be the first to be successfully defended? he wondered. He had been thinking that the first city to complete its defense would also be the quickest to do so.
At that moment, watching the ten Zhong Kui wreak havoc, a different thought suddenly surfaced in Shen Fei’s mind...
"Boss!!!"
"Monsters are spawning!!!"
"It’s those super sacrifices you mentioned!!!"
"There are thousands of them!!!"
"And the giant phantom of the Bronze Ancient Tree!!!"
Just as he was marveling at his good fortune in the defense of City No. 6, a series of messages from Gun’Er suddenly flooded the chat.
Monsters were spawning in Yang City!!
The defense of the large-scale city had begun!!
Phase two had started for Yang City—the most troublesome, the most powerful, the one with the most monsters, and the most unique of them all!!
SWISH!
The instant he saw Gun’Er’s message, Shen Fei teleported over.
BLARE. BLARE. BLARE.
The moment he materialized on the walls of Yang City, the sound of siege horns, echoing across heaven and earth, filled his ears. In the distance, four massive Teleportation Gates, each a full kilometer high, opened. A dense army of NPCs, marching in tight formations, began to surround Yang City.
The formations of ten-meter-tall War Elephants and Giant Stone-Throwers that Shen Fei had seen before had all appeared. Moreover, their numbers had increased several dozen times over. Besides the Vertical-Eyed High-Piled Team, Descendant Archer Team, War Elephants, and Giants that Shen Fei had encountered during the previous siege, new units had appeared.
There were High Priests clad in animal skins and adorned with all sorts of beast-tooth ornaments. And the Colorful Feather Sacrifices had also spawned in droves. These were the ones who, during the last siege, had summoned the phantom of the Bronze Ancient Tree to instantly kill the pale-faced man. Furthermore, because the number of besiegers had multiplied, the mysterious, face-painted Colorful Feather Sacrifices, who had previously numbered only a dozen or so, now numbered over a thousand.
BLARE. BLARE. BLARE.
Atop the ten-meter-tall War Elephants, long, trailing horns were mounted, blaring wantonly. In the light of dawn, war banners snapped in the wind. Endless formations, stretching as far as the eye could see, assembled rapidly and surrounded Yang City on all sides...
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap!"
The members of the Heaven-Reaching Gang guarding the walls of Yang City were all dumbfounded! Through the group chat, they had seen the siege armies their comrades had to face at the other seven cities. But compared to the attacking NPCs before them now, it was a completely different story!
Although they knew they were defending a large-scale city and had mentally prepared for an exceptionally strong enemy force, this level of strength... was a bit beyond what they had anticipated!! Never mind all the other diverse types of soldiers; just those massive War Elephants, which seemed to number in the hundreds of thousands, were no weaker than the bosses at other cities.
And Shen Fei had just told them to watch out for the face-painted sacrifices wearing bird feathers. He said those sacrifices might be bosses.
Now, looking at the thousands of face-painted sacrifices, everyone was stunned.
The bird-feathered, face-painted sacrifices are bosses? A thousand of them? How the hell are we supposed to fight that! Except for the fifty bosses at the medium-sized Cities No. 6 and 7, the other cities only had ten. How did our city end up with a thousand?!
"Fuck!!"
His comrades were astonished, and so was Shen Fei. However, what astonished him wasn’t the dense enemy formations spread across a hundred-kilometer radius, the hundreds of thousands of towering War Elephants, or even the thousand-plus face-painted sacrifice bosses.
He was astonished by the phantoms of the Bronze Ancient Tree floating in the void. There were four of them in total, with one in each cardinal direction. This unknown entity had previously insta-killed the pale-faced man in a single move. Now that their number had jumped straight to four, Shen Fei instantly panicked.
"Son of a bitch!" he roared. "So it’s true! Famous large-scale cities all have something special. Yang City of the Xia Dynasty has a special buff!"
A second later, Shen Fei roared and immediately activated 200 Tenth Tier Defense Towers, firing at the locations of the Bronze Ancient Trees.
Previously, while browsing the Forum, he had learned that descended cities with special names like Beloborg and Orgrimmar were empowered with special buffs. Now he knew: the Xia Dynasty capital he was fighting for, the one named [Yang City], was also a special city.
