Volume 19 Chapter 8 The Last Line of Defense
"Your strength is growing very fast." As soon as I landed, I climbed up from the ground and said while patting the flames off my body.
On the other hand, Masamoto Matsumoto was in a bit worse condition than me. He first wanted to stand up, but stumbled and almost fell to the ground again, but fortunately he was able to hold on in the end. After standing up straight again, Masamoto Matsumoto looked at me with a calm expression and said: "President Ziri is still so strong. The number one in the world is the number one in the world. You can't accept it." At this point, Masamoto Matsumoto suddenly got into a conversation. With a twist, "However, I have a reason to fight today, so..." He suddenly pointed the Light Divine Sword in his hand at me and said, "Even if you die here, I will never let you take another step forward."
Hearing this, I suddenly took a step forward, and then mocked: "I have taken a step now, what can you do to me?"
Masamoto Matsumoto's expression was stunned at first, and then his face suddenly turned cold. Then a strong whirlwind suddenly appeared around him, and the ground was instantly blown away by sand and rocks. Masamoto Matsumoto himself also suddenly flew up to get close to The height close to the ground rushed towards me like lightning.
"Huh, I'm afraid you won't make it." When I saw Matsumoto coming over to congratulate me, I turned Eternity into a whip sword form and handed it to my right hand, and then flew out with its wings attached to the ground. The people around us only saw the two of us instantly turning into two beams of light and colliding together, and then a shock wave visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions instantly.
Seeing the spreading shock wave, the six nearest girls immediately deployed their own defensive skills. The shock wave flashed past their defensive skills and did not hurt them. Although they are slightly weaker than us in terms of strength, this is just a shock wave after all, not a direct attack. Of course, it is impossible to hurt them if they are prepared.
As the first shock wave spread, Matsumoto Masaga and I immediately flew out from both ends, then made a big circle in the air and collided with each other again, but it was similar to before, except that this collision looked scary. However, there were no actual results.
Seeing the lively fight between Matsumoto Masa and I in the sky, Zhenhong suddenly started to move again. She rushed in front of the Blazing Dragon Lady and threw an uppercut, but the Blazing Dragon Queen suddenly took a step back to avoid her attack range, and then turned around with the help of the retreating movement, and the super epee in her hand fiercely aimed at Zhen Hong. The side of his waist was split. Seeing the epee coming towards her waist, Zhenhong suddenly closed her fist and swung it down with her wrist. With a bang, the blazing dragon princess's epee was directly deflected. At the same time, Zhenhong raised her leg fiercely. The foot swept towards the waist of the Blazing Dragon Princess, but the Blazing Dragon Princess caught it with one hand and was hit by the opponent's subsequent sword skills.
As soon as the battle between Zhenhong and Blazing Dragon Princess started, the other two groups started fighting as if they had received the starting signal. The surrounding *** players saw the lights and shadows flashing in the sky and the swords fighting back and forth. It felt more exciting than an action movie. Moreover, the attack skills of the eight of us usually have strong sound and light effects. Not only did it look It looks gorgeous and the business is quite exciting.
However, just as the *** players below were enjoying watching, a voice suddenly interrupted their watching behavior. "What are you guys doing standing still?" Athena Asamiya stood at the top of the portal and shouted to the people below: "Matsumoto-kun and the three angel ladies are using their lives to buy time for you, but you are still here?" Are you interested in watching the fun here? Do you want to wait for Ziri and the others to kill Matsumoto-kun and the others, and then deal with you all one by one?"
Although Asamiya Athena's words were serious, the *** player below was suddenly awakened by the scolding. They all began to run towards the Fulcrum City in front of them. Many of them even summoned flying mounts and began to fly into the sky towards the city.
Seeing the crowd below moving again, Asamiya Athena finally nodded with satisfaction, then jumped off the portal and ran to the previous guild presidents and said: "Everyone, my husband is working for the future of the empire. Do your best, are you just going to stand like this forever?"
After all, "Zero" is a game focused on combat, so the guild leaders in "Zero" naturally cannot be as fat as the big leaders in reality. In fact, except for specialized command personnel, most of them The leaders in the guild are the backbone of the guild. Although the president may not be the most capable person in a guild, his fighting ability must be at least among the top in the guild, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. What Asamiya Athena said just now means nothing more than asking the gang to join the battle quickly. After all, this battle is commanded by the Ghost Dragon Guild. They, the guild leaders, are not responsible for the command. Instead of standing here and watching the fun, they might as well All go to the front line to fight.
I don’t know if I really couldn’t find an excuse or if I was really moved. In short, the presidents did not argue with Asamiya Athena because Matsumoto Masaru was fighting. One of the presidents said directly: "Miss Athena is right, we are going to help." After the man said that, he turned around and ran towards Fulcrum City without waiting for anyone else to react.
Someone took the lead, and the rest were even more embarrassed to stand here. They all expressed their willingness to help Asamiya Athena, and then each summoned their mounts and climbed up and rushed towards Fulcrum City.
Seeing that these people finally moved, Asamiya Athena breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, driving these people to the front line is not because their combat effectiveness is needed. In such a huge battlefield, unless we are as strong as the eight of us who are fighting in the melee, people of other levels, no matter how strong they are, are just a drop in the ocean, and they will not even make a splash when thrown on such a large battlefield. The reason why we want to drive them away is actually because we are afraid that these people will see that we and Matsumoto Masahi are pretending to fight. After all, these guild presidents are considered to be knowledgeable broadcasters among players, and most people cannot see the flaws. They may not be able to see it. Besides, the area where we were fighting was actually quite some distance away from the teleportation gate, because it wasn’t too close, so the people on the other side of the teleportation gate couldn’t actually see too carefully, but the place where the gang leader was standing was very close to us. , they can clearly see every move we make. We don't want them to find any problems.
Because *** players all think that these three beautiful angels, Masa Matsumoto and Kaoru August, are using their lives to buy time for themselves, so *** players now are ten times more crazy than when they first started fighting. If the Japanese at the beginning of the battle were just not afraid of death, then the current Japanese are simply actively seeking death.
In Fulcrum City, since it is not a decisive battle, the resistance enthusiasm of Chinese players is obviously impossible to compare with that of Japanese players. After all, even if we lose Fulcrum City, it doesn't mean that we will be finished immediately. Most of the country is still in our hands, and ordinary players cannot speculate on the macro trend of the entire country's strategy through one battle. Therefore, Chinese players generally do not take this attack seriously. They all think that it is best if they can defend, and it is not a big deal if they cannot defend. On the contrary, Japan is now in a state of annihilation. Even if the subsequent strategy formulated by Masamoto Matsumoto is completely ineffective, Japanese players urgently need a city to reaffirm the existence of the country, otherwise once the seventy-two hours Once the protection time has passed, it means that there really is no *** country in the world of "Zero". In order to protect the country, and for the future strategy to be possible, and for Matsumoto to congratulate them who is "fighting" for them, Japanese players do not dare to slack off at all. If someone told them now that they would be allowed to occupy Fulcrum City as long as they were willing to collectively drop two levels, I believe all *** players present would agree immediately without hesitation.
One side has no intention of resisting to the death, and the other side has the mentality of failure or failure. The result of such a battle can be imagined. Of course, the defense of Fulcrum City is indeed abnormal, which is a major problem for the Japanese. However, there are many Japanese, and this advantage offsets the defensive advantage of Fulcrum City. Even according to the casualty ratio of ten to one, the Japanese are absolutely sure to take down Fulcrum City.
In fact, in addition to this on the surface, Fulcrum City secretly has a weakness, that is, our guild has no intention of guarding it. Masamoto Matsumoto's action was our direct instruction. The fall of Fulcrum City was purely a transfer of property from our left hand to our right. It would be a waste to invest too much in this kind of battle. If it weren't for the fear that the Japanese would find out about us and Masamoto Matsumoto, I'm wearing a pair of pants. I can't wait to have a peaceful handover with Masamoto Matsumoto and be done with it.
However, although passive resistance cannot be obvious, Fulcrum City is our city after all. Isn't it trivial to want to play some tricks? First, create various accidents to reduce the number of troops transmitted, then make the weapon firing system in the city not fire at the maximum frequency, and finally let the troops wait and see. With these small tricks, Fulcrum City can't be lost without even thinking about it. Disaster.
Due to our initiative to let go, the unwillingness of Chinese players to fight hard, and the desperate thinking of *** players, the fall of Fulcrum City can be said to be unprecedentedly fast. We and Matsumoto Masahiro and the others have only been fighting each other for more than ten minutes, and we have already heard the announcement from the God of War about the loss of the first city wall. Although Fulcrum City has six walls, it is already unimaginable to capture one wall in such a short period of time.
After climbing over the first city wall, the *** player who ran at the front immediately opened the gate of the first city wall, and then the subsequent army rushed into the area between the first and second city walls like a flood.
Although Fulcrum City has six walls, the structure is different from Essinger's. The bases of the six walls here are all located on the same horizontal line, and because of the size of the city, the six walls can attack each other. , so it is impossible to form a situation like Essinger where each city wall has the same defensive power as the previous one. ***After players climb up the first city wall, they can use mages and archers to shoot at the people on the first and second city walls, and then the people below can concentrate on attacking without any interference. City. Moreover, since there is no troop mobilization channel like Essinger, when the first city wall is breached, the soldiers on the first city wall cannot withdraw to the second city wall. This results in the defensive strength of the subsequent city walls being inferior to each other. status. In addition, since the first city wall was breached, the morale of the Japanese players was high and the charge became even crazier, while the morale of the Chinese players was low. Many people felt that there was no hope for the guards to start evacuating in advance, which made the guards on the city wall even more aggressive. rare.
Under the ebb and flow of both sides, the second city wall was broken through again before it could last ten minutes. Then the *** player broke through the third, fourth and fifth city walls with overwhelming force, and finally It was not until the sixth city wall that these people were blocked again.
Although the fall of Fulcrum City this time is part of our long-established plan, after all, we have to do it so that neither the Japanese nor the Chinese can see that we and Matsumoto Masaga are on the same side, so the battle cannot be fought. It's too outrageous. Before the Five City Walls, our guild's troops hardly participated in the battle. We relied on the spontaneous resistance of a small number of city defense NPCs and Chinese players who happened to be in the city at the time to persist until now. It can be said that we were attacked and had no time to react, but if we don't even send people to guard the last city wall, it would be too fake. From previous battle experiences, Chinese and Japanese players all know that our guild's reaction speed is super fast. If we don't move for such a long time, people will definitely be suspicious. Therefore, this last city wall still needs to be defended symbolically.
Having conquered five city walls in a row, the *** players are now extremely confident. Seeing the last city wall in front, they immediately howled with excitement and prepared to rush past. Then they can go straight to the transnational teleportation array and the port behind to completely destroy our guild's supply line. However, just when they excitedly rushed to the city wall and prepared to climb up and occupy it like the previous city wall, they suddenly saw the sky in front of them darken. When those people raised their heads, they saw a dense black dot heading towards them. They fall down.
Woo... Accompanied by a whistling wind, countless flying arrows fell from the sky like locusts. The excited *** players never expected to encounter such a large-scale arrow rain in such a place. Many The man even forgot to take his shield. The result is self-evident. The group of *** players who rushed to the front instantly turned into a group of hedgehogs and fell on the ground that was already wet like a rice field. The *** players behind them were all beaten. The arrow rain in front of them was so frightening that they froze in place. Just a few steps away in front of these people were their companions who were nailed to the ground by the dense arrow rain, and they themselves survived because they were one step slower. The scene in front of him was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing the burning self-confidence of *** players, leaving not even a spark left.
