Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 83: Holy War of Light (5)
After a short break, the NPCs of light launched an attack. Four hundred silver-robed bishops jointly cast the "Holy Light Barrier" to protect the three groups of two hundred white-robed bishops in the front, and steadily approached. As soon as they entered the range, Yun Wuying, Nan Feiyan and other more than two hundred archers in the meeting hall surrounded the gate and launched skill attacks one after another. Although they had a 50% ability bonus, the opponent was outside the meeting hall and had not been weakened. They also had double "Holy Light Barrier" protection. Once injured, they could be quickly treated by their companions. In addition, the threat of thousands of archangels and light angels rushing forward in the air forced them to slowly retreat and give up the position of the hall door.
"Hiss, hiss..." White beams of light shot out from the temple gate, one after another, with almost no intervals. It was the white cardinal formation that continued to move forward after entering the attack range. Each group of forty people uniformly performed the "Great Saint Spear". There were five groups in each team, and a total of three teams and fifteen groups. There were six hundred "Great Saint Spears" attacking in turn. Because the releasers were outside the temple, the attack power of these "Great Saint Spears" would not be weakened even if they were shot into the temple. Naturally, no player could withstand such intensive and repeated attacks, and they could only retreat quickly and dodge to the blind spots on both sides of the temple gate that could not be attacked or areas beyond the attack range. Except for more than two hundred archers and a few magicians who could continue to launch counterattacks outside the range of the "Great Saint Spears", other players were powerless for a while and could only wait for them to break through and force their way into the temple gate before launching a counterattack.
Relying on the cover of the continuously fired "Great Saint Spears", many archangels and angels of light found gaps and flew into the council hall, attacking the players hiding on both sides of the hall door, especially those archers who were constantly attacking, obviously wanting to gain control of the hall door so that they could launch a continuous fierce attack on us.
We are unwilling to fight with them head-on outside the council hall, but we cannot let go easily those who have had their abilities weakened by 50% after entering the hall. One hundred and thirty-seven terrifying dragon knights have already flown down from the second floor and are hovering in the sky guarding near the hall gate. When they see the enemies rushing in, they immediately rush forward and launch a fierce counterattack with the help of Xue Wuxia and her friends' magic and bows and arrows.
Even the 8th-level mid-level Light Angel, after being weakened by 50%, could not possibly be the opponent of the 8th-level lower-level Horror Wyvern Knight whose power was enhanced by 50%, not to mention those Archangels who were originally only 7th-level mid-level. For a while, angels kept falling from the sky and turned into nothingness, but the "human wave tactic" is always the most effective means on the battlefield - if an angel dies, another one can be sent down immediately. A large number of Light Knights also rushed in to reinforce, and there were also many Phantom Knights among them. However, these NPCs still refused to fight to the death. Once the possessed angel was seriously injured or died, they immediately chose to retreat wisely and let other companions come in to fight, with survival as the first priority. We and they are using time more effectively. We intend to delay the time limit of the "Holy War of Light", while they rely on their advantage in numbers to launch a round-robin battle to consume our strength as much as possible.
After a struggle near the temple gate, they finally rushed into the council hall and controlled the temple gate, relying on their greater numbers and the death of thousands of archangels and light angels. Most of the archers and magicians, and even the several groups of corpse wizards I summoned, have been killed. If we had more archers and magicians, perhaps we could hold on for a while longer and inflict greater casualties on the enemy. Unfortunately, the Tongxin League only has more than 2,000 archers and magicians, and they need to be dispersed in the arrow towers and magic towers throughout the station for defense. It is impossible for them to be concentrated in the council hall and let the enemy march straight in. In fact, no matter where they guard, they can still cause damage to the enemy and play their due role.
After losing the threat to the palace gate, seeing more and more NPCs of light pouring into the meeting hall, Xue Wuxia, Yun Wuying, Afeng and other core members who had the authority to go up to the second and third floors quickly retreated to the second floor and guarded the stairs with me. Compared with the spacious first floor hall, the narrow corridor should be the last barrier in the meeting hall. With the powerful Khufu guarding the pass alone, even a ninth-level Paladin of Light would not be able to break through easily. In addition, Taotao, Qitlei and other capable subordinates have all gathered here. We must defend this place to the death and never allow the NPCs of light to break through, otherwise we will not be able to continue to hold on.
It is usually believed that the necromancer is a master of "relying on numbers to win", but these light NPCs are not much behind in using the "wheel tactics". Although their abilities are weakened by 50% after entering the council hall, they are very careful in fighting and pay special attention to cooperation. Once an angel of angels is seriously injured or killed, they will immediately summon another one. If the angels possessed by the knights of light are seriously injured or killed, they will exit the council hall under the cover of their companions and summon a new one to continue fighting. Relying on their large numbers and a safe rear, they have enough time to rotate and recover. They will never die easily unless they are at the end of their rope and exert their last bit of combat power. As expected, they are the elite NPC legion of light, and they are really tenacious. Even if the team composed of top expert players may be stronger than them, they will never cooperate so skillfully unless they have practiced for many days.
Under the seemingly endless attacks of five thousand enemies, the continuous high-intensity fighting was rapidly consuming the mental and physical strength of our United Alliance members. Even though the recovery effect was accelerated with the help of the Council Hall, more than two hours of almost uninterrupted fierce fighting had still left them at the end of their strength. They were forced to retreat step by step and could not hold on for much longer.
Xue Wuxia, Afeng and I hid on the second floor. No matter what the situation on the first floor was, we would never take the initiative to attack unless the enemy came up. Our goal was to defend the meeting hall, survive the twelve-hour holy war, and preserve the United Alliance. As for how many NPCs of light we killed, that was just a secondary issue. From time to time, we used the "Wartime Return" to send the Horror Dragon Knights, who had been severely injured and had no more energy to play, back to the "Dead Soul Space". Each of them killed at least three or four archangels and light angels. Some lucky ones even killed NPCs directly, earning me a lot of qualifications and merits. After all, it was not easy to subdue them. If I could preserve them, I would naturally not want to let them sacrifice easily.
While casting "Return in Wartime", I also constantly activated "Touch of Death" to absorb the spiritual power from the summoned Horrible Earth Dragoon, and then used the "Bloodsucking" ability to replenish the health points from Xue Wuxia and Afeng, and constantly cast "Summoning the Undead". Although I no longer have any powerful subordinates, relying on the Horrible Earth Dragoon or the Corpse Witch can summoned to guard the narrow stairs, I believe it would be even more difficult for those bright NPCs to break in.
When the situation in the council hall was gradually controlled by the light NPCs, they had discovered where I was, but they only sent out a small number of people to harass and contain . They were still committed to clearing out our members on the first floor of the hall. They should continue with the previous tactics, not dividing up the troops easily, and trying to concentrate superior forces to attack the enemy on one side.
