Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

Chapter 643: Chapter 410 Monster Siege (2)_2

After all, Second Tier LV40~60, that’s a full 20 levels of difference, and the power gap is equally enormous.

Compared to the chaotic and disorganized First Tier monsters, which just rush directly toward the castle, Second Tier monsters clearly had a Boss.

These scattered minor monsters were subdued and gathered together, slowly advancing toward the East Gate.

“They actually know how to form a formation now, interesting.”

Flying in the sky, a certain Zi person’s map showed the surging monster tide.

The improvement of strength was expected, but seeing monsters organized and capable of forming an advancing formation was somewhat surprising to him.

Dwarf Warriors, Orc Warriors, Goblin Warriors… These were considered tough-blooded warriors, mixed together to form a phalanx advancing forward.

And like the Werewolf Archers, Elf Archers, Evil Eye, Cave Stonethrowers… These were considered long-range attacking units, also mixed in together, following behind the warriors’ formation, bows strung and ready to attack at any moment.

In addition to this, there were Centaurs, Werewolf Knights, Wild Boar Knights… These cavalry units formed a cavalry corps, moving along the flanks of the entire team.

Moreover, there was a corps composed of Bosses, a homogenous group of various Boss monsters, among which appeared dozens of Hero Bosses and one Lord Boss.

As they approached the newly built walls, the monster corps began with a storm of arrows.

Countless arrows, stones, spears, and the like were hurled toward the city walls.

“Barrier!”

As Wan Xing’s words fell, an earthy yellow light shield covered the walls.

The continuous “thud thud” collision sounds echoed on this layer of light.

The flickering light shield firmly supported this wave of long-range strikes, although its color became significantly dimmer.

“Shoot!”

Another command rang out.

The archers and crossbowmen stationed on the walls executed the order without any unnecessary movements.

Bending bows and stringing arrows, aiming crossbows and firing, a remote attack corps of more than two thousand people released a broad wave of arrows like dark clouds directly into the enemy ranks.

The screams and wails of the monsters resounded on the battlefield.

Everyone was of the Second Tier, yet the difference between having protection and not having it meant a one-sided slaughter.

In the exchange of fire between the two sides, not a single garrison soldier on Wan Xing’s side defending the walls died, even though the barrier had become dim and might shatter at any time.

On the other hand, the monster army could only be described as suffering heavy casualties.

Even though there were tough-blooded warriors in the front line to take the damage, they couldn’t withstand one round after another of arrow rain, could they?

The warriors in the front line were hit with dozens of arrows each, drained of blood; it was hard not to perish.

The monster horde did have protective means, but they couldn’t band together to form a large-scale protective barrier.

Individual defensive abilities seemed trivial on such a battlefield.

For example, a Protective Shield might withstand two or three attacks of the same tier, but how about ten or twenty?

Under the attack of dozens of arrows, even a holy shield technique of the same tier would be ripped to shreds.

Watching rows upon rows of monsters fall, the lords in Wan Xing’s group all smiled and poured all the accumulated experience value into the archers and crossbowmen.

Upgrade!

They had to upgrade fiercely!

After every round of arrow rain, several archers or crossbowmen gleamed with the light of upgrading.

Before they cleared this second wave of Second Tier monsters, the over two thousand-strong remote strike corps had all stepped into the Second Tier peak LV60 ranks.

As their levels maxed out at LV60, their attacks also reached their peak.

Often, one round of arrow rain could kill several hundred monsters.

And at this moment, the Second Tier monster group was almost frustrated to the point of vomiting blood.

Even though the portal was continuously supplying troops, it couldn’t break through the barriers constructed by the opponents, let alone surpass the walls’ blockades. @@novelbin@@

The cavalry corps might run fast, but they couldn’t leap over the towering twenty-plus-meter-high walls.

The remote corps aimed at the walls, but all were intercepted by the barrier, not even touching a hair of the opponent.

Not until a force of a thousand Bosses gathered and rushed did the city wall suffer a violent impact.

The newly built walls, not yet engraved with protective arrays and barriers, though reinforced in various ways, still appeared cracked under the Bosses’ collision.

“Encircle and kill!”

Without any hesitation, Wan Xing gave the command.

The Crusader Warriors who had long been waiting within the walls charged out the gates.

Heavy infantry wrapped entirely in armor entered the fray, directly cleaving the battlefield.

Those ordinary monsters were directly knocked flying, then surrounded and segmented on the battlefield, their heads harvested under the great swords wielded by hands.

Thousands of Crusader Warriors blazed a path, wielding their great swords against the Bosses attacking the walls.

Three or four Crusader Warriors teamed up on one Boss, defense didn’t exist for them; they only knew how to swing their great swords wildly against the Boss’s body.

Each Boss was hacked to pieces, only a few strong ones managed to avoid being stabbed to death.

However, the Bosses who escaped did not evade the fate of being annihilated.

The 21 lords standing on the walls were not mere decorations.

How could they allow those Bosses near the walls any opportunity to escape?

Fourth Tier peak vs. Second Tier peak.

This was a one-sided massacre!

Not everyone needed to act; just a few of the magic-wielding lords, with a casual wave of their hands.

Lightning strikes, consecutive fireballs, Earth Spike assaults…

Even Second Tier peak Hero Bosses could only be instantly killed.

As time passed, the battlefield was already piled with corpses, blood flowing in rivers.

The newly constructed walls also showed some damage.

The archers and crossbowmen stationed on the walls were now dropping their aching, swollen arms, looking at the corpses of monsters below.

They didn’t know how many arrow rains or crossbow bolts were fired, or how many monsters they had killed, but now all that was left was exhaustion, feeling like their arms were no longer their own.

Although the world had been invaded by the game, humans weren’t robots; necessary fatigue and hunger still existed.

These recruited units were not NPCs created by the Sea of Realms, but living people, their souls conscripted from the real world.

“The troop count is too low, merely the second wave of monster siege, and the Second Tier monsters have made defense this tough; the difficulty will only rise, troublesome.”

Wan Xing, looking at some of the overexerted lords who just dealt with monsters, felt a headache.

“Open the altar, continue recruiting personnel?”

“Recruit, the Spirit Crystals are of no use lying around, recruit as many as possible, Lord Zi possesses abundant food resources, however many we recruit they won’t starve, but prioritize the recruitment of Crusaders and crossbowmen.”

Spearmen were the most basic human unit, capable of leveling up to First Tier LV40 through sheer experience farm.

Further advancement required spending significant costs to transfer to other advanced units, such as the Second Tier Halberdier unit.

Unfortunately, such transitions needed corresponding unit blueprints within the territory.

While archers and crossbowmen were Second Tier units, they could level up to Second Tier LV60.

The Crusader Warriors were considered Third Tier units, but they required the provision of weapons and armor to rise to a Third Tier state, otherwise capped at Second Tier peak.

All current Crusader Warriors had already been upgraded to Third Tier LV80.

But newly recruited units had a fatal problem, which was the lack of weapons and armor.

“You all go recruit troops, I’ll find Lord Zi to see if we can secure a batch of military supplies.”

Newly recruited Crusader Warriors, archers, and crossbowmen, if lacking weapons and equipment would not only have their strength significantly reduced, but leveling would also be problematic.

But the most crucial issue now was manpower; as for weapons and armor, they could be bought from the trading market at considerable expense in the worst-case scenario.

Moreover, it had long been investigated that Zi Liyuan controlled a weapons factory, capable of self-producing equipment.

He certainly wouldn’t lack these things.
