Although the Ice Nest Cult had vast numbers, with Crystal Giants dozens or even over a hundred meters tall joining the battlefield,
the battle line had never shifted, and even the deck remained firmly in the players' hands.
These players were not fighting alone. Quite the opposite: reinforcements kept arriving on their side too. They even took turns resting, and the players active on the front line had already rotated several times.
By this point, almost all the stronger players on Steam Island had shown their faces at least once.
They included Blacksmith Banks with his smoking-hot figure, Haken, the skeletal Archmage and Vice Dean, and Great Newspaper Leader Song Yingwen. Even Zhang Zhi, the busiest man on the island, who managed Steam Island's affairs both great and small, had briefly joined the battle.
Inside the cabin, three Portals ensured the supply and movement of troops. Large numbers of Combat Robots poured out in an endless stream; there was simply no killing them all.
One of the Portals had been specially reserved, leading straight to Steam Island Central Hospital.
If any players were injured and lost the ability to move, the Nurse Misses roaming the battlefield would urgently evacuate them to the hospital for treatment.
Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion. After all, this was not their first time. They had already experienced two large-scale battles involving collective player action like this. Every one of these players could be considered a seasoned battlefield veteran, and they were very shrewd.
Until an overwhelmingly powerful combatant appeared and broke the stalemate.
A super Crystal Giant nearly five hundred meters tall appeared amid the Ice Nest Swarm blotting out the sky.
As soon as he joined the battlefield, he condensed a block of ice larger than the Treasure Ship and hurled it over.
