Chapter 326: The garrison mission outside the Dragon King's Holy City
Early the next morning of the game, the team of the Hall of Stars and the members of the Coco Sister team gathered in the town on time, and after a little rectification, they began a new day of adventure.
According to Yager, the purpose of their breakthrough was not only to pick up the players who had arrived from the Federation to accept the commission from Farouo, but also to prepare to travel to the swampy woodland that led to Gribal's disappearance, and try to find the two-headed dragon of light and darkness who had not been heard from for a while. At the moment when the Black Dragon King lost his mind and the White Dragon King fell, Gribal was the de jure ruling heir of the Strange Domain, and now the Strange Domain, which was in chaos, needed such an inheritor to step up and guide the chaos and panic of the inhabitants of the Peaceful Domain.
Therefore, the dragoons in the town did not all set off with the team, but Yager's deputy, Vice Captain Pojie, led a team of ten dragoons composed of ten people and ten times as guides and escorts, and led the Hall of Stars and Coco team towards the Dragon King's Holy City.
Maybe it's because of the relationship between this small group of dragoon NPCs in the team, today's journey is much smoother than yesterday, although there will be occasional enemies on the road to enter the battle, but the frequency is much smaller than yesterday's journey, and because the dragoons will also join the battle, the difficulty of the battle has been reduced a lot, compared to worrying about the team attrition caused by the encounter on the road, Today's team members are more worried about how to get from those fierce dragoon NPCs to a certain output share and the final replenishment, after all, if the NPC becomes the largest contributor to the monster killed or the final replenisher in the system's judgment, it will affect the loot drop of the final monster.
In this way, with a relatively relaxed mood than yesterday, the team walked for half a day, and arrived at the Dragon King Holy City before the sun set in the game, which was much earlier than the expected time before their departure, and the original Galaxy was even ready to set up a temporary camp for adventurers in the wild today (which can be used for players to go offline safely in the wild, but the materials needed are more expensive), but now it seems that they have time to enter the Dragon King Holy City to meet Farouo within today.
Although the Dragon King Holy City is also called a "city", unlike human cities such as Lancarus, this dragon city obviously does not have any urban defenses such as walls and fortresses, so it looks a bit like a modern city on Earth.
If you think about this carefully, it is easy to understand, on the earth, since modern humans have developed and optimized the artillery explosives technology to a certain extent, the primitive city wall has no meaning, and here, for a city with several giant dragons and two ancestral dragon kings entrenched all year round, if even such a force cannot make the enemy dispel the idea of attacking the holy city, then for such an enemy, the presence or absence of a city wall may not have much impact on the battle situation.
Under the guidance of the dragoon squad, everyone did not alarm the Chaos Monsters wandering around the outer edge of the Holy City, and quietly came to a small hill on the side of the Holy City, because there was no city wall, from here they could see the situation inside the Holy City more clearly.
As Yager said to them yesterday, the current holy city, the inner city is covered by a huge black magic barrier, and it is not clear what the inside is from the outside, and the outer city is clearly divided into two parts at this moment, among which a large urban area not far from their small hill can be seen to be full of residents and troops, because the place is relatively small so it seems a little crowded, but on the whole everything seems to be in order.
Outside of the city, which was clearly under the leadership of Farouo, almost all of them were in a dilapidated state of ruins, with all sorts of strangely shaped chaos monsters scurrying around, both the stone pavement and the walls of the buildings gradually taking on an uncomfortable gray color. At the border between the two cities, a large number of dragon soldiers could be vaguely seen waiting at various intersections, and if a Chaos monster tried to approach, they would immediately expel or kill them.
"Vice Captain Pojie, what are we going to do next?"
From the hills, it was clear that a small area between the city where Farouo and the outer city were located was now occupied by Chaos creatures, and it would be fine if it was one or two people, but a team like them would never be able to sneak in without attracting any attention, so after confirming the situation in front of them, Xinghe turned back to Poje who had brought them over and asked.
Although Bojie should theoretically be in plot mode, his external performance is far less humane than that of his boss Yage, and with an NPC-like stiff expression, Bojie spoke.
"We have made an agreement with Lord Farouo before we come out, as long as we send a signal outside the city, then Lord Farouo will send people out to meet us with all his might, but sending a signal will inevitably attract the attention of the Chaos creatures, so after sending the signal, we need to stay in place for thirty minutes to wait for Lord Farouo's reinforcements, if you are ready, please let me know, I will send a signal immediately."
"Thank you, Vice Captain Poger, please wait a minute, we do need to do some preparations."
Xinghe turned his head, told everyone what Bojie had said, and immediately began to command and arrange. This time was slightly different from the previous siege for the dragoons in the town, although it was also a defensive battle, but the enemy was not likely to come one after another as at that time, so a proper and perfect position to meet the enemy was naturally necessary.
In this regard, there is no need for Coco sister how to help, it should be said that the elite group of the Hall of Stars is worthy of being one of the strongest player teams in the game today, obviously for the construction of a field to meet the enemy, a large and medium-sized team in the wild area fixed-point monster farming boss common tactics have sufficient experience and preparation, relying on a few elemental talents in the team for the earth type of players and a few relatively cheap earth wall magic scrolls, the Hall of Stars quickly built a simple fortress position on the mountainside on the side of the hill.
While the crossbowmen quickly laid various traps on the passage of the fortress, the melee team built with several shield battles in the team as the core also stood in positions at several simple checkpoints specially designed for melee card slots inside the fortress, and the back row was all withdrawn to the small high platform in the center of the fortress with the view of various access levels, after making all these preparations, Xinghe personally went to Pojie to trigger the task, and as the magic flare in Bojie's hand soared into the air, everyone's system vision interface was above, At the same time, a timer bar with a thirty-minute countdown appeared.
The Chaos creatures came quickly, and only about three minutes later, the first Chaos monsters to notice the flares running out of the city on this side of the hill approached their fortress.
In order to prevent the NPC dragoons who were together with the team all the way from disrupting the rhythm of defense, the Star Shine Hall specially framed the dragoons behind the fortress with several earthen walls when building this temporary fortress, because these dragoons were just NPCs and had no self-awareness, although the system's hatred mechanism made them feel the chaos monsters that were getting closer and closer, but because there were no enemies nearby, these dragoons could only be blocked by the surrounding earthen walls, It is not possible to attack a non-hostile dirt wall and rush out.
Without NPC dragoons to make trouble, players like Xinghe can naturally deal with the attacks of the Chaos Monsters more calmly and safely. The chaos monsters that were attracted were the same as the town at that time, most of them were around level 70, and occasionally there were a few elite monsters mixed in, but the monsters that exceeded level 75 and would cause absolute level suppression to players in terms of level were lucky not to appear.
In the face of the fortress earthen walls made by the player in advance, NPC monsters without self-will are very rigid to identify them as obstacles through simple system judgments. If it is a situation of wandering around in a non-combat state, these Chaos Monsters will show a certain desire to destroy the surrounding environment, especially man-made structures, but at the moment, because the influence of the hatred system on the monsters overshadows other system commands, these Chaos Monsters rushed out of the city in a menacing manner, but instead obediently began to detour along the fortress earthen wall, and then followed the set route to several passage levels that had been stuck by melee players.
At the beginning of the battle, because of the advantageous location, several shield battles that were stuck in the position in advance easily blocked the impact of the chaos monsters in front of them with the help of other melee classes and the priests equipped behind the level, and when the hatred on the shield battle side stabilized, the long-range firepower on the small high platform in the center immediately covered it, quickly harvesting the blood volume of these chaos monsters who could not advance or retreat.
In this way, there is enough time to prepare in advance for team defense battles, and there is not much room for individual skills to play, so in addition to the shield battles at each passage level, the most dazzling characters in the team quickly turned into flash bubbles, although the damage data played by Roco and several long-range output masters on the side of the Hall of Stars is enough to be worshiped by most players on the forum, but in this situation, compared to the equipment and inheritance are completely interpreting what is called" Standing on the stake to output the glittering bubble of the fort", they really had to bow to the wind.
In this way, after the battle lasted for about fifteen minutes, the difficulty of the defense finally began to escalate, and from the small high platform of the fortress, it could be clearly seen that a new batch of chaotic creatures coming from the city to this side appeared about level 80 monsters.
