Chapter 576: An Uncontrollable Situation
Half past four in the morning.
After a long and fierce battle, the second wave of the beast tide finally held on. Although there was no break, the momentum of the attack and the fierce Cheng dù were only two or three percent at the peak. The nerves of the students, which were already stretched to the extreme, finally got another respite.
Before the next wave of large-scale attacks, the trainees could only seize the opportunity to rest and replenish.
The butcher senior who was in command also took this opportunity to further deploy puppet soldiers as reserves to fill the vacancy in the city. In the fierce battle just now, almost half of the puppet soldiers who were fighting on the front line were killed, and the strength at the head of the city was much weaker than at the beginning. However, after filling in these hundreds of puppet soldiers, the butcher senior only had the last five hundred tree warriors left in his hands.
The next hour and a half, I'm afraid it won't be easy.
The butcher senior was watching the tide of beasts gradually rising in density from a high place, and at the same time secretly prepared to ask for help from Orgrimmar City. However, the opportunities for help are also limited, and it is impossible to reserve a force for any camp. Because of this, if it were not for the most critical moment, he would not have asked for help.
"It's Tromas the Scorcher!"
At this moment, I don't know who shouted, which immediately made the atmosphere on the city wall tense again.
This is an elite lv26 monster unique to the Flame Rift, and it's quite common. Although the overall strength is very average, and the attack power is even lower than that of the Blue Monster of the same level, it has a particularly outstanding skill, that is, the Rain of Fire!
When activated, it rains down 5 waves of fire within a 400 radius, dealing 40 damage to each wave. Not only that, but if you hit several waves in a row, the Rain of Fire will also add an additional amount of scorch damage. On weekdays, the squad encircled and suppressed, and there was a way to deal with Tromas the Scorcher. But now that they were holding the city, and Tromas the Scorcher was mixed in with the beast tide, the power of the rain of fire was magnified exponentially.
A large rain of fire fell on the city, causing unimaginable chaos and damage. With a small number of fire-bellied ogres that have not been extinguished, the rain of fire in the sky + the ignition sticky oil thrown up from under the city is simply a blow to ruin. Almost instantly, several sections of the city wall were severely injured by the team, and a few were unfortunately directly killed.
Such a threat made the students in the city panic for a while.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the butcher senior had to take action himself. He walked around the city in his phase shoes, and when he saw Tromas the Scorcher appear below, he immediately adjusted his angle and threw out a skill-meat hook!
This is a skill with pure damage, not only has an incredible range of effect, but also damages up to 360 points. Moreover, after the addition of the rare accessory set, the meat hook of the butcher senior has not only been strengthened by an additional 100 distance, but the damage has also been increased a lot, which can be said to be amazingly powerful!
Standing in the midst of the horde, Tromas the Scorcher thought he was safe, and he had no idea that an iron hook could fall from the sky and pull it directly from the crowd to the city.
As for the rest, there is no need for the butcher seniors to intervene.
Truly besieged by a group of trainees at close quarters, the strength of Tromas the Scorcher is actually very weak. The butcher senior walked over and over again from the city wall, and hooked six or seven of them one after another, and the pressure on the entire defense line was suddenly greatly reduced.
There happened to be a scorching Tromas near the section of the city wall where Hu Siming was, and after being dragged up by the rattling chain, it cheapened their team of five people.
Because the drop and harvest are the same as the previous rules, they are distributed according to the contribution degree after the war, and Hu Siming has always turned on the energy saver. With this 15% bonus, after killing Tromas the Scorcher, his experience energy increased by a single line again. At this moment, the experience bar of Elite LV8 has exceeded half.
At this rate, there is hope that before the end of the Dire Darktide, you will be able to rush to Elite LV9!
This excellent news has injected abundant fuel and motivation into Hu Siming, who has been fighting for a long time. He seems to have seen that he will be able to gather all the tasks after this Dire Dark Tide, and he will really mention the scene of going to graduate school and becoming a hero. To be an elite is nothing more than to get out of the bottom of the academy pyramid. Only by becoming a hero can you have the strength to control your own destiny, instead of asking your seniors for help and looking up to others when you are in trouble.
Under such motivation, Hu Siming fought more and more bravely.
In the high-intensity battle, the basic ability of lv4 is gradually integrated, and the innate flame energy that is constantly being called is also becoming more and more handy, touching deeper laws.
Although Hu Siming was fully focused on fighting, he had a faint feeling that he was not far from mastering the third layer of talent!
Among the five members of the team, the strongest Hu Siming is so hard-working, how can Yan Shaoou and them be willing to lag behind? With the help of this annual opportunity, the three of them have all been promoted to elite lv6 after struggling to strangle countless demonic beasts, and they are also further accumulating experience energy to launch a sprint towards a higher level.
Not to mention Yu Gaowu, as the weakest of the five, he was particularly hardworking. The passive effect bonus of his own talent, coupled with the extremely high level of these siege monsters, even if he can only get a small part, it is quite considerable for him. Not long after the start of the war, he had already rushed to Elite lv2,. If this momentum continues, it is difficult to rush directly to Elite LV3 before the Dire Darktide!
This speed is even more terrifying than that of Hu Siming.
After all, Hu Siming does not have the natural ability to accelerate his growth, and no one has borrowed equipment to promote him to participate in the Taling reclamation.
Everyone in the squad scrambled to fight against the attacking beast tide, and the section of the city wall they guarded was naturally not too much of a problem. However, this does not mean that the rest of the line is equally stable. In fact, the appearance of Tromas the Scorcher is a signal that elites and even lord-level demonic beasts have begun to join the siege one after another.
This is undoubtedly a dangerous start!
Just those ordinary or blue-named monsters, the students can also rely on the entire defense system to fight. But once the top demonic beasts join, especially the lords with powerful auras, the threat to the defense line is almost deadly. In the dense beast tide, the aura of a single Golden Name Lord may be added to a dozen or even dozens of demonic beasts, making their combat power soar.
It was almost five o'clock in the morning that the threat reached its peak.
In the entire attacking beast tide, there are almost no monsters below lv25 anymore. Those cannon fodder with lower strength have been exhausted in the previous battles. Most of the rest were high-level demonic beasts that ran out of the deepest part of the Flame Rift. The elite and lord monsters that appear from time to time have become like attack arrows. Not only did the pressure on the cadets increase exponentially, but even the city walls began to have problems.
During the previous three-hour attack, due to the attacks and intermittent repairs of the cadets, and the durability of the city wall could be restored on its own, it was generally able to maintain a safe line. After these Golden Lords joined the attack, the durability of many sections of the wall quickly dropped below 30%, and it became crumbling.
Once the walls are breached, the final situation of last year's Sandhammer Camp will be played out immediately!
At this time, the butcher senior had nothing to hesitate about, pushed all his remaining chips on the table, and then launched a request for help from the commander of Orgrimmar City. Then he was told that he would have to wait at least a quarter of an hour before a reliable reinforcement could be drawn.
Until then, the Raging Rift Camp is on its own!
The butcher senior was naturally quite dissatisfied with this answer, but he was not surprised in his heart. After all, when it comes to the dawn of the day, the beast tide will usher in the final madness. Not only this side of the Flame Rift, but also the major outposts and towns, and even the main city, will be the most fiercely attacked. Orgrimmar can still draw reinforcements, which is already quite rare.
After complaining a few times in his heart, the battle came to this point, and the butcher senior could only do his best.
After activating the last large number of traps, the beast tide surging forward appeared for a short period of weakness. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the trainees launched a wave of counterattack. The butcher senior himself even personally found the golden lord, hooked the meat hook to the head of the city, opened the rot, and directly bit it, and cooperated with the surrounding pseudo-heroes to gather fire and output.
As the defensive commander of the Flame Rift camp, this junior's strength is naturally impeccable. But in a war of this scale, it is no longer possible for a hero to decide the outcome of the battle, especially since his inheritance is better at killing alone. In this case, having one more of him only slightly relieves the pressure on a certain section of the city wall. The entire 600-meter southern wall has problems in more than one section.
I don't know which section of the city wall was breached first, but a large number of demonic beasts found an outlet and rushed into the camp of the Flame Rift Valley along the collapsed part of the wall, and began to frantically destroy the defense towers and other qiē inside the city wall.
The situation suddenly entered the most uncontrollable situation.
Once the towers are completely destroyed, the entire defense system will completely collapse and it will no longer be able to hold on. Then, the beast tide swept the trainees and pushed all the way to the deepest part of the camp, destroying the entire camp...... This is the general process used by the vast majority of camps destroyed in Dire Darktide.
Seeing that the scene in the sand mallet camp was about to be repeated, Hu Siming and his teammates were also anxious, and they could only try their best to kill the demonic beast, but there was no other better way. Moreover, there are floating islands above the Sandhammer Camp that can be used and evaded, but the Flame Rift Camp does not.
Once the walls are breached, they will lose any terrain they can exploit.
If it was a freshman who participated in the Dire Dark Tide for the first time, in this case it would have collapsed, and the students would have escaped with their own life-saving means. But the people present were all senior students, and they knew very well how severe the punishment of the academy was. Unless Shou Yuan is almost exhausted and can't afford to die, the vast majority of students are trying to support and delay the time of complete collapse as much as possible.
After all, it's not too far from dawn.
What surprised them even more was that when another section of the wall was broken, the teleportation array in the center of the camp lit up with a silvery glow.
The surviving students couldn't help but cheer loudly.
Orgrimmar's reinforcements have arrived at the most critical time!
