Chapter 379: Reverse Operation
The 2017 stronghold established by Haoran Villa is the last settlement they have established, although the construction time is relatively late, but with the construction experience of the previous settlements, not only is the construction speed faster than the previous settlements, but even the indicators of the camp have been significantly improved.
It can be said that among the settlements deep in the entire Northwest District, the defense capability of Settlement 2017 can definitely be regarded as top-notch. Players of Heights believe in this, and their opponents seem to agree with it, so no one has dared to fight them until now, even though they know that Settlement 2017 is the most resourceful in the entire map.
It's just that when everyone thinks it's safe, something unexpected often happens. The left-behind players of Settlement 2017 also seem to feel that there is an unstable atmosphere in the night tonight, which makes them involuntarily nervous, and even the frequency of patrols is much more intensive.
This tension is not unfounded, as news of several settlements in the Northwest being attacked by mysterious forces has been circulating on the forums not long ago. It's just that compared with other gossip news, this kind of news like a battle report, even if a player clicks on it occasionally, will only glance at it a few times at random, and even turn off the content mechanically without thinking about it, and it will soon sink.
But as more and more people confirmed the news, many players who were still staying in the Northwest settlements also felt a little apprehensive, although they didn't mind fighting these legendary monsters, but now this half-truth and half-truth unknown state was the most terrifying, because they had no idea what kind of opponent they would face.
Two hours passed, starting from Settlement 1341, which was first attacked, the attack route of the group of monsters seemed to follow the direction of the sand dunes all the way south, and all the settlements along the way were swept away by them, leaving no basic buildings behind. It was only then that players who were concerned about the matter realized the seriousness of the problem and set their sights on the next possible location.
So everyone's eyes were focused on Settlement 2017, and although there were several possible target settlements on the hypothetical offensive route, Settlement 2017 was so special that everyone subconsciously paid attention to him.
This kind of attention made the players of Haoran Villa feel very uncomfortable, but they didn't show too much panic, after all, judging from the previous attacks on the strongholds, this group of people did not seem to be picky eaters, and the targets attacked were different in size, and there was no pattern to follow at all.
This disorderly approach is very much in line with the action thinking of the NPCs of the system, as they are not subject to utilitarian goals, and therefore tend to do things that the player cannot understand.
In the face of unknown dangers, people's hearts will instinctively lean towards favorable assumptions, in fact, by this time, many people have already acquiesced that this turmoil is just a small joke made by the system and players. They even began to wonder if they would get pretty good rewards if they killed them.
Everyone was immersed in this superficial lightness, and they watched the movements around them with trepidation, and they put on a look of indifference. These two contradictory states torment everyone's hearts, making them a little unbearable in their hearts, the instinctive resistance.
As the players' spirits were about to crumble due to their contradictions, a blue flame appeared at the top of the sand dune in the distance, and then another appeared in another place. Then, in the next tens of seconds, at the top of the sand dunes directly in front of settlement 2017, a line of Cangyan skulls appeared.
Settlement 2017 was suddenly in chaos, and their tense nerves were finally provoked by this group of enemies who suddenly arrived, and a group of people rushed around the camp to move out the large storage equipment for defending the city.
On the opposite sand dune, Mo Qianying pulled out the saber at his waist, then glanced back at the players who were already lined up behind him, and nodded at them. The players in the column drew their sabers together with a smack, and then led by Mo Qianying, rushed down the dunes like a pack of hunting wolves.
At Mo Qianying's request, everyone turned on all the skills of the undead knight, and the four hooves of the horses that turned into nightmares rose into even greater flames, which also erupted from the cracks in the knight's armor, and some of them swept back in the wind like a flaming cloak. Some rolled up their arms, wrapped around the sabers that shimmered in the cold light.
Although Mo Qianying led only fifty players, once their formation was fully deployed, the team flew down towards its prey in the dark like a flying eagle with blue flames burning all over its body.
The group of players in the settlement had never seen such a strange and magnificent scene, and they were a little stunned for a while, only to know that they were stunned when they looked at the group of undead knights in front of them, and the ballista in their hands fell to the ground without reacting.
The player in charge of the command climbed up to the top of the city, and when he saw that this group of guys was actually stunned at such a time, he was so anxious that he kicked the nearest player to the ground and roared: "Why are you still stunned?" They rushed over! Hurry up and fight back! Crossbow bolts are ready to be loaded! Smash those skulls out of me! ”
The surrounding players were awakened by his voice, and hurriedly picked up the ballista on the ground, hurriedly stuffed it into the card slot of the dragon slayer bed crossbow, and then struggled to pull the winch to pull the five-fold crossbow string to the predetermined position. The player in charge of aiming next to him raised his hand to make a gesture of landing, then stood up and swung the batter to smash the bracket open, and the huge ballista rushed out.
Five dragon-slaying bed crossbows were erected on the walls of Settlement 2017, and the first round of firing released all five ballistas, and the ballistas made a seeping sound in the night sky, head-on towards the charging undead knights.
However, the group of undead knights lined up in the Swift Array completely ignored this terrifying attack, and they had no intention of dodging in the slightest, and even began to speed up their sprint. In the next second, the Dragon Slayer Bed Crossbow smashed in front of them without accident, and the huge impact force raised a large area of flying sand, and the additional explosive effect of the ballista raised a curtain of sand several meters high.
The players involved in the attack all swallowed involuntarily, their eyes fixed on the place where the ballista fell, expecting to see the bones scattered all over the ground in the next second.
However, they were all disappointed, and the moment the sand curtain fell, the faint blue flames still shone in the hazy flying sand. The Undead Knights reappeared unscathed before their eyes, sending their hearts to the bottom.
At the same time, Mo Qianying, the leader of the team, raised the saber in his hand and swung it down sharply, leading all the undead knights to the flanks of Stronghold 2017, posing as if they were attacking the side walls.
