Defense Failed, Vanished Town, Gloating Players
At the same time.
Within the Dragon Diagram Guild.
Guild leader Dragon Diagram Frenzy is watching the live text broadcast.
"It seems the western region is still lacking." Based on his years of experience, he could tell at a glance that District 42's combat strength was insufficient.
"After all, they don't have any players who cheat," Longtu Tengchong, shaking his head.
As the two men stated, in the second wave alone, District 42 used suicide trucks.
Because the effect of the secret potion is to trigger a surge in magical power, it can only achieve the best results when used by a class with a deep reserve of magical power.
These players were originally the main damage dealers.
Now, these players, as if forgetting life and death, rushed straight towards the leader, resolutely activating the medicinal power within their bodies.
Amidst the continuous booming sounds, the Silver Leader was forced to retreat repeatedly by wave after wave of impact, until he was hundreds of meters away from the city gate.
Although such an explosive impact could not cause any real harm to the leader, it seemed not entirely impossible to hold the city gates for five hours if this situation could be maintained.
"Eagle Team Three, charge forward! The rest of the teams, continue taking your medication and prepare!"
On the northern battlefield, a commander from the 42nd District loudly directed these squads carrying out special missions.
The courageous and fearless spirit of the 42nd War Zone is being conveyed through live text updates on the forum, deeply moving all who watch.
"I suddenly feel like paying tribute to them..."
"Yes, those special team members who carried out the self-destruction must all be warriors."
"Although they are Westerners, they still have courage."
"Heh, this is just a game. In reality, they wouldn't be so foolish as to do something like that. They suffered greatly in the two previous world wars."
"Yeah, you don't die in the game, I'd do it too, what's so great about that? Some people just have a Western filter, they think everything about the West is great, completely unaware of the term 'fence syndrome,' which describes the feeling of disappointment after visiting the fence because it's unsanitary and teeming with thieves..."
Okay, let's not get off topic.
"The importance that Ying Kingdom attached to its city defense activities this time is evident; they did a very good job!"
"Cheers to them! And to all the players charging on the front lines, it's exhilarating to watch!"
"If we can maintain this situation, it's entirely possible for us to become the second war zone, after the Third Front, to receive double experience rewards."
"You're overthinking it, it's impossible," someone sneered.
"Come on!"
"Double experience is secondary; the rewards for successfully defending the city, including equipment and experience, are already quite substantial."
"Those warriors who took the potion are truly admirable; dying in battle results in a deduction of experience points... They are indeed valiant men."
"The Ying Kingdom government has indeed done everything in its power to secure victory for District 42."
"Speaking of which, how do we obtain these Frenzy potions? Can our region employ similar tactics?"
"Easy for you to say, but who will be the one to take the medicine and make the sacrifice?"
"The 42nd War Zone has accomplished something we could hardly do easily: organize such a large voluntary suicide squad."
"This can only be organized by the government."
Let's give them a thumbs up for their hard work.
"They've only just started and they're already using the 'sacrifice' tactic. Five hours... can they really hold out until the end?"
"Please don't say unlucky things upstairs."
"Even if it becomes truly unsustainable in the end, the Ying Kingdom will surely have other backup plans."
"Sigh, it's hard to imagine how the players in the District 3 managed to withstand such a powerful beast tide, let alone that they were able to annihilate all the Warcraft within the time limit."
"Perhaps it's the decisive influence of top players."
"Idiot, didn't I already say? Someone's cheating. That Chongxing has an S-level talent, a violent Priest."
"It can heal and deal damage, that's terrifying."
"The progress of eliminating the Warcraft has slowed down... but there's nothing we can do about it."
"We must assign people to slow down the leader's advance; we cannot focus our full efforts on dealing with the beast tide."
At this very moment.
In District 42, the leaders of various guilds frowned, worried that prolonged delays might lead to unforeseen changes.
They had planned every possible project for this siege.
Many daredevils who were willing to sacrifice their experience have done everything they could.
What follows can only be left to God.
"We tried to find a way to 'Chongxing' with players in District 3 and inquire about the existence of special items that could allow players to teleport across war zones, but ultimately to no avail."
"If such a tool truly existed, we wouldn't have resorted to such a tragic strategy to confront the leader."
"Perhaps there's nothing in this game that can be easily crossed; only in the late game can you overcome those mountains and oceans."
"We can only rely on our own strength to set an example for our comrades in other war zones—the 42nd Front will surely successfully defend the city! Friends on the front lines, please do not give up, hold on to the very last moment!"
The situation in the 42nd War Zone quickly attracted the attention of many Rogue Players in the 3rd War Zone.
Just as they were getting bored with grinding monsters, the long, repetitive battles were becoming tiresome for many, so they turned their attention to the live text updates of the siege battle on the forum.
"A casual player from the Third War Zone passing by."
"We've been grinding monsters until our eyes are vacant, and our movements are all based on muscle memory."
"I've been fighting zombies all day, I feel like I'm turning into one myself, but at least I leveled up and even unexpectedly got a zombie pet."
"What's going on? This is only the second wave, and they've already launched suicide attacks?"
"Is it really that hard? We think it's very easy."
One player from the Third War Zone made a comment that was clearly one of boasting.
"No way, no way, we can't even handle a Monster Siege? Is this how it is?"
"Honestly, the brothers in the 42nd War Zone fought a tough battle."
"Despite the heavy casualties, we have witnessed your valiant efforts. The Third War Zone's 'Wild Wolf Assault Team' salutes you."
"Let's all be more understanding, after all, we're all comrades-in-arms in <God's Domain>."
"I heard that once you reach a main city, which is a higher level than a town, you'll be in a district."
"By then, we'll all be one family, and those of us who are slightly higher level will definitely help out."
"That's ridiculous! Do you think we can be compared to them? They all discriminate against us, and even after we went there, they still discriminate against us. Now, let's have a go at it and see who's stronger and who loses!"
"That's right, they're always looking down on us, saying we're no good at this or that. And now?"
"Our team can already clear the 'Divine Ruins' on easy difficulty!"
"Keep it up! Learn from our Third War Zone's legendary hero 'Chongxing,' who single-handedly took down the leader and ended the war ahead of schedule."
"I really can't bear to see players forced to exhaust their experience points and Mutual Destruction with the enemy."
"The statement upstairs is inaccurate—if the leader can't be harmed at all, how can it be considered Mutual Destruction? Let's cheer for Yingjiang's camp!"
"It's a pity that 'Chongxing' can't go to the 42nd War Zone, otherwise these minor leaders probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single move from him."
"I can't stand it anymore! Aren't you guys in the Third War Zone too idle?"
"If you have nothing to do, go grind monsters! If it weren't for the legendary 'Chongxing' single-handedly taking down the boss, would you have been able to progress through the story so smoothly? What's there to be proud of!"
Clearly, players in other war zones were quite dissatisfied with the Third War Zone's boastful attitude.
"A bunch of Cheaters, what's there to brag about?"
"We don't really have much to be proud of, but we have the 'Chongxing' big shot, and that's something to be proud of!"
"Hehe, you disagree?"
"One punch, one monster!"
No matter how heated the debates on the forums were, they could not affect the dire situation of the 42nd War Zone at this time.
The siege has entered its final stage, with only sixty minutes remaining.
"Urgent report! The suicide squad is running out of experience!"
"After a five-level consecutive drop in level, the system prohibits the continued use of secret potions!"
Commander "Archangel Migalie" immediately felt a headache coming on. He promptly issued an order, "Each guild is required to send one hundred people to reinforce the frontline leader's assault team. This is a mandatory mission, and no one may refuse!"
"At the same time, we are recruiting freelance players to join the suicide squad at high prices, with compensation based on their experience points contributed."
"1000 euros per person!"
"At this crucial moment, we must not give up after all our previous efforts!"
"Sixty minutes left, all of humanity is watching us!"
The number of Warcraft has indeed decreased compared to before, which has slightly relieved the pressure on some players.
Some Rogue Players who desperately needed funds also chose to join the suicide squad to bombard the boss.
Various guilds also successively dispatched members to provide support, and the situation gradually stabilized.
After all, that's 1000 Euros. The average monthly salary in the Western region is only 3000 Euros. You can earn almost half a month's salary for one game, so there are still people willing to log in.
Now, they also realize the value of Wanderer and unemployed labor.
Being cannon fodder in the game is fine too.
However, there's a problem: playing games requires sober Wanderer, not alcoholics or drug addicts...
A silent change began to unfold in various parts of the West.
Previously, they were troubled by the large number of unemployed people, so they were very lax in their control of various drugs, hoping that the lower-class unemployed would numb themselves with drugs and thus not cause them any trouble.
But that's not possible now.
The God's Domain Game's unlimited demand for manpower made them realize that those Wanderer were a waste.
"Damn it, if there were a few hundred thousand more Rogue Players, this event could definitely be defended."
"Hundreds of thousands of Wanderer freeze to death every year; it's such a waste."
"Yes, they provide plenty of food, but not free accommodation. Wanderer have to fill out a ton of forms to stay in a free house for a few days."
In the West, Wanderer never starve to death; food banks open every two or three days and distribute large quantities of food.
However, what's deceptive is that they never readily offer accommodation.
Winter becomes the biggest enemy in reducing the Wanderer. The average lifespan of the Wanderer is only 3 to 5 years, and most of them die from freezing or illness.
A stable, constant temperature living environment is the key to extending human lifespan.
Just when everyone—including the spectators on the forums—thought victory was in sight, with fifteen minutes remaining, the four leaders simultaneously went Frenzy.
The Frenzy leader ignores all attacks, and its defense, damage, and speed increase dramatically.
The key is that it is in a "Super Armor" state, unaffected by any impact or interruption!
That's the most shameless thing ever!
They instantly broke through the players' defenses and charged fiercely to the four city gates, pounding on them with frenzied force.
"Initiate the counter-attack! Push them out!" the commander roared.
However, the defeat was irreversible.
During the Super Armor state, all negative effects on the player are nullified.
It's impossible to force the BOSS out.
At this moment, another protective shield appeared above the city!
"Great! This is a barrier that automatically activated within the city!"
However, their joy was short-lived, as they soon discovered a countdown timer!
"The effect only lasts for ten minutes!"
"There are still 15 minutes left in the event!"
"This is just giving us a chance to adjust."
Everyone quickly made adjustments.
"We request backup!"
"Quickly request permission from the players in Zone 3. As long as they can come, we're willing to pay any price!"
"Ask Dragon Han for a strategy guide, is there any other way?"
Westerners, who have always been aloof and superior, rarely bow down to the Dragon Han.
They pleaded with the other party to help their brother for the sake of all humanity.
The higher-ups at Dragon Han were naturally happy to do so, as it would greatly benefit them.
At least things like studying abroad become much simpler.
Moreover, it can advance many aspects of things.
However, when the higher-ups of Dragon Han searched for strategies, they found that there weren't many solutions.
When they invited some skilled civilians to provide assistance, they were all turned down.
"We're not going. First of all, we can't teleport all that way there, and secondly, they always trick us. We're not going."
Only then did the top brass of Dragon Han realize that their daily deception had backfired.
They often talk about various problems of the Ying Kingdom.
Of course, problems exist in every locality.
In short, those who know, know; I can't elaborate.
And these tips and strategies compiled by folk experts are unwilling to be shared.
Younger generations, led by "Chongxing," simply hung up on them and didn't contact them at all.
I've tried every possible method.
However, within ten minutes, they couldn't think of any solution.
The only option is to crowd a large number of players at the four entrances, hoping to reduce the impact of the bosses.
The countdown has ended, and the four leaders are launching their final assault simultaneously!
"Bang!"
Players in the 42nd War Zone watched in horror as their leaders breached all four city gates and stormed into Shuangyue Town in less than ten seconds!
System announcement: "Unfortunately, the 42nd War Zone's defense of the city has failed."
"The starting town of Shuangyue Town in this region has been captured and has since disappeared from the Wild Continent."
"In this war zone, all players are disqualified from accepting quests in Shuangyue Town and will remain in a state of refugee status until they explore the new town."
"All side quests in this beginner town have been cancelled."
In an instant, the 42nd War Zone fell into a deathly silence.
"How is that possible?"
Is this still a game?
"Hilarious, the newbie quests are gone right away?"
"Unbelievable... all that effort gone in the blink of an eye?"
"Nobody mentioned that the leader would go Frenzy and Super Armor in the last fifteen minutes."
"The team has done its best; the unexpected situation is truly beyond repair."
"Ridiculous, ridiculous! Do you really think you can just copy homework and be done with it?"
"At least this time it taught us a lesson: we can't just drag things out until the end; we must concentrate our firepower to defeat the leader beforehand."
"Sigh, I thought victory was in the bag, but I never expected to collapse just before the finish line."
The news of the defeat of Zone 42 in the beast tide attack and defense served as a wake-up call, jolting players in the other zones awake.
Without sufficient resources and strength, no one dares to rashly challenge the Warcraft Siege.
This time, District 42 has set an example for everyone.
"How ridiculous! They wanted to show off their face, but ended up showing their ass!"
"Interesting! Starting villages can disappear? This game is clever!"
"It's starting to feel more realistic. It doesn't cater to players for the sake of gameplay; if you're not strong enough, you have to destroy the city. That's just like in real life."
"Yes, back then we were weak, so we were repeatedly attacked by Westerners, and now they are in the same boat."
"That's right, we must let them know how powerful they are."
