Volume 6: Turmoil (Remastered) Chapter 6: Raven Ridge (6)
The scarlet moonlight draped Raven Ridge in a crimson cloak, and the mist rising from the corrupted soil beneath his feet made his already not very good vision even worse, and he could only see an area of about five or six meters around him.
Although the undead have the talent of soul vision, in this case, it is not even as reliable as directly observing with the naked eye, because you can't tell which ones are enemies and which are companions in the state of soul vision.
An undead warrior with a shield raised his shield to block a spear that stabbed him, creating a safe environment for his companions behind him, and a few seconds later, as the chanting stopped, several bone teeth shot at the skeleton spearman in the distance, completely cutting the last trace of health of the monster, and the soul fire in the skull of the skeleton spearman who had lost his health jumped a few times, and then it was extinguished, and without the support of the soul fire, the body made of bones collapsed and turned into a pile of white bones again.
The undead warrior who had destroyed the enemy did not stop, and continued to protect his companion, and after a few steps, he encountered a monster wandering in the mist, and the scarlet light appeared in the opponent's eye sockets, which was a sign of being affected by the demonic moon.
Without complaining, without shouting, the undead warrior stepped up with his shield, and the necromancer behind him also slightly staggered a few positions and began to chant spells.
This kind of scene can be seen everywhere in the low hills of Raven Ridge, and the demonic moon not only makes the undead monsters here more aggressive, but also makes the rebirth time of these undead monsters greatly shortened, and the speed of a skeleton that originally took nearly half an hour to drill out of the ground was almost shortened to less than ten minutes under the influence of the demonic moon.
This makes the players of the Broken Soul Sword suffer enough, the monsters on the Crow Ridge are not weak, under the influence of the heroic undead knight Moradim, the undead monsters on the Crow Ridge are not only not low-level, but also obviously have a feeling similar to the army, unlike the undead monsters in other places, the undead monsters on the Crow Ridge are mainly skeletons and zombies, not only the melee ranged configuration is reasonable, but also cooperate with each other, therefore, even in normal times, there are not many players who are willing to come to this place to farm monsters and level up.
"Captain, it's been an hour!" An undead assassin emerges from stealth and gives a backstab to the Iron Axe Zombie who is fighting an undead warrior with two skeleton axemen, drawing the opponent's hatred to himself and relieving the pressure on the undead warrior as the leader of the squad.
The undead warrior smashed the skeletal axe in front of him with a shield strike, and then used the one-handed hammer in his hand to break one of the ribs of the other skull axeman, taking advantage of the opportunity of the target being attacked and the door wide open, he kicked the skeletal axe man fiercely, kicking the guy to the ground: "How far are we from the target?" ”
"Now it's on the perimeter of the cemetery!" The undead assassin jumped back to distance himself from the Iron Axe Zombie, threw a few improvised traps in front of him as he landed, and replied.
"Zaf! What about the other squads? The undead warrior asked loudly as he kept attacking the fallen skeleton axe with his one-handed hammer as he resisted the attack.
The necromancer, who was a few positions behind, shot the chanted bone spear at the iron axe zombie who was bound in place by the undead assassin's trap: "I don't know, but it should be about the same speed as our advance, you know, usually this damn place is not very good, let alone this time!" The president didn't know what to think, why did he choose this kind of fatal time to attack! ”
"Without the influence of the Demon Moon, do you think we could kill that big guy?" The undead warrior said without looking back, "You haven't seen the corpses of those brothers who came to the bottom a few times before, if you come in the daytime, a fool will agree to come and die!" ”
"I don't think we're any different from dying now!" The necromancer gasped as he used his staff to block an attack from a skeletal swordsman, "I doubt we can advance to the center of the graveyard with this way!" ”
The undead warrior jumped to the necromancer's side with a few brushes, and snatched the skeletal swordsman's hatred from himself with the weapon in his hand, and the necromancer also tacitly took a few steps back and began to chant spells.
However, before the necromancer could chant halfway, a tall figure suddenly appeared from the mist, and as the necromancer turned back suddenly, the two-handed sword in the hand of the tall figure swept away, and the fragile necromancer was like a broken kite, and was directly swept away.
"Damn, it's Seyu the Guardian!" The undead warriors, who had struggled to resist the attacks of the Skeleton Swordsman and the Skeleton Axeman, took advantage of the gap to turn their heads and look at it, shocked, "Monkey, monkey!" Go see if Zaf is still alive! ”
"Don't look at it, it's dead!" The undead assassin called the monkey started sprinting and quickly ran away into the distance, "Captain, you resist, I'll go to the team behind!" ”
"Okay, tell the brothers, the Guardian Seyu is in this direction!" The undead warrior did not have the anger of being abandoned by his companions at all, because he knew that this was originally the plan of this operation, and in the face of a small boss-level monster like the guardian Seyu, the monkey stayed only to accompany him to his death, so it was better to take advantage of the opportunity that he could delay for a while, and inform the brothers behind him of the news, so that the others could prepare for the battle.
I have to say that the players of the Broken Soul Sword are worthy of being old players, and in the face of this situation, the team composed of new players is likely to fall apart, after all, few people are willing to give their experience and soul energy for others, but this undead warrior did not hesitate to do so, because he knew that otherwise, he would lose more at that time.
And as the most mobile undead assassin, he does not have the hesitation of novice players at all, and in the eyes of others, it is simply like escaping, and when he sees that he can't do anything, he leaves without delay. In this case, in the eyes of newbies, this player is not to be trusted, but in the eyes of veteran players, this is what a companion who can calmly judge the situation should do.
Of course, as the fleeing party, the monkey did not flee directly. After a short march through the fog, he ran into another team.
After learning from the monkey's mouth that the guardian Saiyu appeared nearby, the captain of this team immediately retreated, gathered with the other two teams nearby, and together with the monkeys, formed a medium-sized team of sixteen people, and soon fought with the guardian Saiyu who was tracking him.
The Soul Breaker Sword Guild has a team of less than five hundred players, which can be said to be insignificant compared to the entire Raven Ridge, in just one hour, almost all of the first thirty teams died, and the ensuing pressure also fell on the thirty teams that were the second batch.
If they relied on the Soul Breaker alone, it was likely that they would not even be able to rush into the graveyard, let alone kill Moradim!
However, how could the evil spirit mage, who was the planner, not think of this!
As the Broken Soul Sword began to attack Crow Ridge, other guilds that had long been eyeing the side also began to attack this hill, Jiangnan Yanyu, Pacific Legion, Blue Hand, etc., at least more than ten guilds joined the ranks of attacking Crow Ridge this night, even though the vast majority of players in these guilds are novices, and the level rarely exceeds the first order, but the huge advantage in numbers has played a decisive factor in the face of this unintelligent monster.
From time to time, players fall, and from time to time, monsters die, and players have to pay with their lives for every step they push.
Yanyu Hongchen and his elite stopped on the outskirts of Raven Ridge, waiting for news.
After a while, an undead knight rode a skeleton horse to the front of Yanyu Hongchen: "President! ”
"Yes!" Yanyu Hongchen nodded, "How's the progress ahead?" ”
"Three hundred meters have been suppressed, and the vanguard has merged with the second batch of teams and is continuing to advance!" The Undead Knight player replied, "More than 700 people have already been killed, and nearly 100 people in the second batch are almost out of combat!" ”
"It's a little better than I expected, it seems that other guilds have also done it!" Yanyu Hongchen didn't have the slightest distressed expression on his face, "Tell Yanyu Miracle, don't be afraid of casualties, continue to push forward with all your might, and at the same time pay attention to the surrounding movements, if you see people from other guilds, don't clash for the time being!" Also, inform Yanyu Red Mansion that the fourth batch can go, their task is to suppress the reborn monsters, and we must ensure that there are no more than five undead monsters in the area under our control! ”
"Yes!" The Undead Knight mounted his mount and rushed into the fog of Raven Ridge once more.
"Looks like the other guilds are working hard!" A necromancer beside Yanyu Hongchen said, "The original estimated casualties were 1,000 to 1,500, so it seems that we can save the guild president a lot of money at that time." ”
Yanyu Hongchen smiled and shook his head: "Do I look such a stingy person?" ”
"The president is a real tyrant!" An undead thief who was squatting on the ground bored and piercing the ground with a dagger said with a smile, "The death pension is 5,000 yuan, so calculated, just these 300 meters, the president will smash out 3.5 million, who dares to say that the president will be stingy!" ”
"Haha! In my opinion, problems that can be solved with money are not problems! Yanyu Hongchen waved his hand indifferently.
"Indeed, this night, it is estimated that the casualties will be about three thousand, even if there are other guilds to help us share the pressure, it will be at least two thousand casualties, ten million yuan, not everyone can afford it!" The necromancer said enviously that he was just an ordinary person, because he entered "New World" relatively early and became an old player, so he was recruited by Yanyu Hongchen, for him, Yanyu Hongchen's way of smashing money is really unimaginable.
"It's only 10 million, we originally prepared 30 million funds for this operation, and now it seems that there is still a lot left!" The Yanyu Loutai who followed Yanyu Hongchen is also a rich second generation, and he can be regarded as a partner in the establishment of Yanyu Jiangnan with Yanyu Hongchen.
"It's useless to keep the money, Loutai, send someone to inform all members, if you want to work with other guilds in the end, when the time comes, the subsidy for one death is 5,000, the subsidy for two deaths is 20,000, and the subsidy for three deaths is 100,000!" The smoke and rain and the red dust did not change color.
"Haha, the president is going to take the money to smash the other guilds down!" Not only did the rain say this, but the others also nodded in agreement.
Only Yanyu Hongchen knows that this investment is nothing compared to the return after success, let alone 30 million, as long as they can successfully grab the kill and drop of Moradim, then the injection of capital from their fathers alone will be more than tens of millions, not to mention the benefits brought by the establishment of a formal guild in the future!
Not only Yanyu Jiangnan, as the players under them continued to advance, other guilds were also full of fanatical emotions, and under the lure of this mood, or a large amount of money, those ordinary players broke out with two hundred percent combat power, and forcibly cleared a large area of safety on Crow Ridge.
A knife killed the defender Tim to the ground, and turned his head to look around: "How many have died?" ”
"President, three dead!" The vice president of the blue hand said sadly, "Xiaobei, the big head and the dry wood are dead!" ”
"It's a pity that the undead don't have an official priest, and they can't be resurrected even if they are resurrected!" Disappointed, he said, "Pull the second elite group over, let people inform Xiaobei and them, wait for others on the periphery after resurrection, don't rush inside alone!" ”
"Don't worry, President, you're not a child anymore, you don't have to worry about this!" Said with parting sorrow.
"Well, how far are we?"
"It's about 700 meters away from the cemetery wall, and the road behind it has been suppressed by people, so there will be no problem." Different from Yanyu Jiangnan, the Blue Hand President willingly chooses to rely on the Guild's elite group to make arrows, and let ordinary players be responsible for suppressing the safe area, which has the advantage of fewer casualties, but the disadvantage is that the suppression area will be smaller, after all, no matter how powerful the elite group is, there is no way to clear a large area like Yanyu Jiangnan.
"President, it's nothing now, the key is to get to the cemetery!" As the chief player of the guild, the undead archer shoots you in the face, whether it is technology or equipment, it is the best in the hands of the blue, for this undead archer, other guilds have been trying their best to pull him away, if it weren't for the old friendship with him, I'm afraid he would have jumped ship a long time ago, "The eight small bosses on the periphery, to be honest, we can still handle it, but in the cemetery, not to mention those fallen undead knights, just to guard against the sneak attacks of other guilds is a big problem!" ”
Although Moradim, or Morgan Radimore, is the boss of Raven Ridge, this does not mean that he is the only one on Raven Ridge, in fact, in addition to his knight attendants, there are also a group of knights of the Holy See of Light who followed Morgan to Raven Ridge. And now, these knights of the Holy See of Light, because of the erosion of time and death, have become undead knights like Morgan, but they are not wandering around like those irrational undead monsters, but sleeping in the cemetery in the center of Raven Ridge, guarding Morgan.
And mini-bosses like Seyu the Guardian and Tim the Guardian are some of these knights who have fallen with Morgan.
Motioning to his subordinates to put away the fallen equipment of the guardian Tim, he sat down to rest and said with concern: "You're right, compared to those guilds with deep pockets, our strength is not good, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle at that time!" ”
