In the "monitoring room" on the other side, Ed clearly saw the "Minotaur" Blood Corpse use the skill " Brute Force Charge " to break through the players' defenses. The Blood Corpse swarmed forward, splitting the neatly lined-up players into two groups, and the scales of victory began to tip once again.
However, Ed has made up his mind that he will not give players any NPC support or "ghost army" opportunities this time. The Blood Corpse will only get stronger and stronger in the future. They also need to be trained and grow. All he can provide is enough combat equipment (which players have to buy with their own money) and all kinds of strange plants (which players have to buy with their own money and develop themselves).
On the battlefield at the edge of White Wax Town, the players gradually reached a tacit understanding.
At this moment, there are clearly two extraordinary elite Blood Corpse, one large and one small. This kind of combination has been seen in many works of art, which is what people often call the "brainless" and "unhappy" combination.
Apart from these two special Blood Corpse, the other Blood Corpse were just common cannon fodder, so the players ultimately chose to prioritize clipping the wings of the elite monsters.
[Xiexie Huigu] was already adept at this tactical arrangement. You should know that if you want to clear the Gloomy Sanctuary on normal difficulty, you need to kill the priest puppets under Yiden first.
The current battle is clearly based on the same principle. If there's any difference, it's perhaps that the enemy's fighting style is completely devoid of any skill.
As night deepened, twinkling stars appeared in the night sky, and the carnage in the forest was finally coming to an end.
As the last cannon fodder Blood Corpse fell, only the two "elite monsters" remained in the arena. The players slowly surrounded them from three directions, but dared not launch an attack rashly because of the powerful body of the minotaur Blood Corpse.
The lesson learned by the [ Zhongde ] team is still fresh in everyone's mind; no one wants to rashly log off and then be stuck outside, scratching their heads and peeking through the official website's real-time map.
The two elite monsters were now in a tense battle state. The minotaur looked at the piles of Blood Corpse around him, puffs of white breath coming out of his nostrils, while the Blood Corpse, which was slightly shorter than a normal human, had a grim expression.
Compared to the vampire nobles who could truly command their armies of Blood Corpse with ease, all its commands to the Blood Corpse consisted of two simple words: "This way" and "Charge."
Now that his commands have no one to manipulate, the dwarf Blood Corpse's combat power has been reduced by almost half.
Beside him, the minotaur-like Blood Corpse, twice the height of a normal person, possessed a superior battlefield vision.
Just as the players' encirclement was tightening, this elite monster, skilled at disrupting enemy formations, finally targeted a weak point in the encirclement and launched a charge.
However, the next moment he was tripped by a thick vine, and four Deadwood Vine emerged from the humus-rich ground, locking his lower body firmly in place.
At the same time, an anxious female voice came:
"Let's finish this quickly, I need to get back to class!"
[ Pond Fish and Old Abyss ], a fresh-faced college student, is still not used to skipping classes and his face is full of anxiety.
Although she only briefly left a meaningless class citing feeling unwell, she still felt she should return to the classroom as soon as possible, otherwise she would always feel empty inside.
Seeing that the monster, which had been quite troublesome just moments before, now had its lower body entangled, the players immediately looked at it with the eyes of someone looking at a piece of bread, and the weapons in their hands sharpened a bit.
"Brothers, let's go!"
Someone shouted with great emotion, and the players immediately launched an attack on the two Blood Corpse.
The short, dark, Blood Corpse, perhaps due to a lack of intelligence, showed absolutely no intention of escaping.
The mindless minotaur was now torn between escaping first and engaging in battle, his two thick arms unsure of what to do.
With the combined efforts of the "axemen," the two elite Blood Corpse were finally turned into sashimi.
The battle finally ended as expected at 10 PM in the World of Disorder. Players who planned to join the battle during their lunch break complained bitterly on the forums, repeatedly tagging the official account saying that the game difficulty was too low and that such a meaningful event as the first wave of Blood Corpse was resolved before they even logged in.
The one-eyed game producer also saw the complaints, so he quickly set up a game announcement that would be updated every ten minutes, along with a survey that was released simultaneously with the announcement.
The announcement naturally stated that new varieties of Aberration plants would be available starting at midnight on the new day, and also explained the detailed settings regarding the Blood Corpse.
The questionnaire was sent to all players who participated in the battle, asking them if they could accept the level of difficulty.
Obviously, Ed couldn't manually adjust the difficulty of " Bloody Night," but he also knew how stubborn the players were—the kind who would keep repeating "Too easy, next time it'll be very easy" even if the universe were destroyed.
Therefore, this questionnaire will naturally have no practical effect; it will only make players feel the sincerity of the official team, and will be used as a shield for the official team when they are overwhelmed by Blood Corpse in subsequent battles.
"Everyone saw it, they said it was very simple, so hate them if you want!"
World of Disorder, a battlefield in the forest.
[ Pond Fish and Old Abyss ] briefly said goodbye to everyone, activated a "cocoon" on the spot, went inside, and logged off immediately. The real-world class wasn't over yet, and it should still be in time to return to the classroom.
The remaining players began to tally the losses from the battle, and after some investigation, they obtained a precise result:
A total of 228 Blood Corpse were eliminated, including two elite monsters, and the rest were ordinary cannon fodder.
A total of 9 Soul Returner were lost. This loss refers to being knocked offline, which means losing a life. As for injuries... injuries are never a problem for Soul Returner.
In addition, an innocent watchtower was also affected. Because it has completely collapsed, the team that built this watchtower will receive less bonus contribution points.
[Xiexie Huigu] also received a private message from [Zhongde], who said that he had learned that the battle was over and hoped that he could help retrieve the bodies of the four members of the team to revive them.
After all, replacing a body is too expensive. He saw a picture posted on the forum showing his and his three companions' corpses in the corner. Although they were tattered, they were mostly intact. If he could successfully retrieve them, he should be able to revive them quickly with just a few silver coins' worth of items.
