“Here comes the first wave!”
Wolf pointed with his short dagger and commanded the other Assassins, “Every Assassin should prepare to attack. Have the heavy armor players form a defensive line and don’t rashly try to fend off the monsters by yourself. The more damage you do over time, the more experience you’ll get!”
This was the basic idea behind fighting. Two Knights would provide defense while the Assassin would strike from in-between. Relying on this tactic, the amount of damage that could be consistently dealt was extraordinarily high. The way distributed experience was quite fair; DPS, support, and healing were considered in the distribution. For example, if a Healer were to increase the attacker’s damage by 10%, then they would receive the same amount of experience as the attacker. Even in the later stages of the game, they would not be fall behind in experience from the war.
Yue Qing Qian lifted her dagger and stood silently by my side. She smiled, “Brother Xiao Yao, when the monsters arrive, you mustn’t go too far forward. Otherwise, I’ll lose you as my shield.”
Matcha chuckled, “Don’t worry, Sister Matcha will be your shield!”
“Okay then!”
……
From inside the city, another wave of monsters came pouring out. They looked to be a group of small fiends holding blunt spears, but they were actually just a bunch of ugly dwarves that were exceptionally quick. They didn’t even reach a meter high and were wearing flax spun clothes. While they ran, they chattered noisily, “Come quick, the humans have come! I saw a lot of silk wearing women; rumors say that women that wear silk don’t have saggy breasts! This is great! Let’s go, let’s go! Plunder and rob these human girls and use our strong bodies to subdue them!”
My mouth twitched as I heard them, “What kind of lines were set for these monstrous animals…”
Dancing Forest laughed, “These short gourds want to subdue the females with their strong bodies? What a joke, they’re only one meter tall, and those are maybe 3 centimeters at most. If they want to use 3 centimeters to woo the women, I can’t even ridicule them any more…..”
I shot a glance at her, “Aren’t you ridiculing them a little too much already?”
Matcha giggled, “Enough of that, you guys shouldn’t be talking about stuff that isn’t suitable for children to hear. Look, Qing Qian’s and Yue Liang’s faces are both turning red…”
Sure enough, Yue Qing Qian’s and Yue Liang’s 17 year old faces were already bright red, and were unable to meet our gazes. However Old K and Bai Qi laughed heartily; to them, conversations like these were child’s play!
“I have the monsters’ data!”
Li Mu came flying back after scouting out the monsters and simultaneously shared the monsters’ stats within the guild. As expected, the monsters in this City of the Ancients weren’t a joke. Their levels were abnormally high, and their stats were also a lot stronger than monsters of most maps. Furthermore, according to the system’s world map, the City of the Ancients was marked as SSS-ranked, which was equivalent to a large-scale SSS-rank quest!
【Sinister Goblin】(Phantom Tier Monster)
Level: 66
Attack: 1450-1900
Defense: 1100
Health: 14000
Skills:【Stick Sweep】【Heavy Chop】【Sinister Howl】
Description: Sinister Goblins are a part of a race that is known for its rapid breeding rates. Goblins originally branched away from the ancient human race and have lived their entire lives underground. After finally discovering the City of the Ancients above ground, they immediately occupied it and became the primary defenders of the ancient city.
……
“F*ck…” Wolf’s eyebrows creased, “The City of the Ancients seems to lack humans, and the very first monster we see are Phantom Tier Lv 66 with attacks of 1900; do they want to scare people to death with such high attack? The frontlines had better be prepared; Phantom Tiers with 1900 attack actually have around 3000 attack in total!”
Matcha lifted her shield as she observed the distance, “As for our defensive method… Heavenly Tower Shield, receive the damages from the first wave! Mages, Archers, Musketeers, prepare to fire!”
In the air, countless arrows, spells, and gunfire exploded within the chaos of the monster wave. Although the Sinister Goblins were high in level, in comparison to the might of the long ranged players of [Zhan Long], they were powerless. With Thousand Suns Over Snowy Fields taking command, there wouldn’t be a difference in power between the two groups. If she joined with Dong Cheng Yue, then Ba Huang City would fall to their might.
“Buzz….”
The Emperor Qin’s Sword emitted a low hum as I shook my blade. Activating [Seven Star Fragment Slash], I immediately swept away a group of monsters; the 1100 defenses of the goblins stood no chance. With my strength, the amount of experience I would be earning would be far greater than the rest of my players. With satisfaction, I watched the chain of numbers fly up–
3321!
2987!
3001!
