Still the same phrase, when your strength is sufficient, all the mist will naturally dissipate." Daniel shook his head and turned to leave. "Remember, your main task tomorrow is to protect yourself."
Seemingly to avoid any chance of entanglement with Jiang Han, he entered the mansion's room and closed the door to rest.
Seeing this, Jiang Han could only give up and summoned the system panel, choosing to log out of the game.
Since the event was four days early, it meant that the Bright Faction would besiege the city tomorrow at ten o'clock. For tomorrow's battle, he had to be well-prepared today.
After removing the game helmet, Jiang Han washed his face with cold water to stay completely alert. Then, he returned to the computer desk and put on the game helmet again.
"Swoosh!"
Accompanied by a white light, he appeared at the location where he logged out.
At this moment, the Dark City was bustling with activity. Apart from the skeleton soldiers, players who signed up to defend the city were everywhere. They formed teams, gathered in groups, and discussed various matters.
Jiang Han: "..."
The noisy atmosphere made him feel uncomfortable. Looking at the vast Dark City filled with a continuous flow of people, he personally experienced the popularity of "Eternal" for the first time.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: The mainline quest you have received, "Guardian of the Dark City," will officially start at ten o'clock. Please prepare!
"Ding!~"
System prompt: The quest you have received, "Create Disturbance," has been activated. If you fail to achieve the first place in the city defense points ranking, the protection of the Dark God will be revoked!
"Ding!~"
System prompt: Please note that you will act as the third wave city defense boss against the Bright Faction. If you are not present, level -10, permanent -1000 to all attributes!
...
A series of system prompts seemed to increase the pressure on Jiang Han.
"Jiang Han is online!"
"Damn, finally seeing the true face of the big shot, and he's quite handsome!"
"Tsk tsk, now there are probably over a billion players who want to kill him. I wonder if he's panicking..."
...
Jiang Han logging in naturally attracted the attention of countless players. After all, for most players, Jiang Han's name was well-known, but his appearance was only seen in videos, sparking curiosity.
"Fortunately, I slightly adjusted my appearance when creating the character." Jiang Han felt somewhat fortunate.
There were too many players! In such a situation, using his real-life appearance might lead to recognition on the streets and trouble.
"Bro, can you give me an autograph!"
"Big shot, what level are you now? I'm level eighteen and can't even see your character panel..."
...
"Make way!"
Ignoring various comments, Jiang Han pushed away the players surrounding him and squeezed onto the city wall.
As the third wave city defense boss, he didn't plan to appear in the first round. After all, if he got surrounded by players and remained in a stalemate until the end of the third wave, it would be troublesome.
He understood this well; he wasn't the only one playing the game!
With his current strength, he should rarely encounter opponents among players. With a five-star defense growth and bonuses from a set of silver-grade equipment, breaking his defense was a luxury for ordinary players. However, if a player had special opportunities and obtained top-notch items, everything would be different!
There's always someone better, and there's always something beyond our expectations!
In the Eastern region with a large number of players, he was not confident that he was the only one with a chance to obtain rare items like forbidden curse scrolls.
After that, time slowly passed until ten o'clock.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: The event officially begins!
...
"Rumble..."
At the end of the wilderness, dust gradually rose.
Jiang Han squinted his eyes and could see thousands of horses galloping, creating a magnificent momentum.
In the blink of an eye, a black mass filled his field of vision as they rapidly approached. Adventurers and NPCs attacking the city were mixed together, densely packed and intimidating.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: Please note that the first wave of city assault led by level 20 bronze-grade boss "Challenger Xiazuo" will begin!
From afar, Jiang Han could see Xiazuo sitting on a horse, swinging a meteor hammer with a full beard on his face. Wearing black armor, he looked exceptionally conspicuous on the battlefield.
"Hahaha..."
He laughed wantonly, shouting, "What a ridiculous Dark City! We should have reclaimed our City of Light a long time ago. Brothers, charge! Kill all those fools who betrayed the Bright Faction, and those disgusting skeleton soldiers!"
At the top of the city gate, Daniel raised his hand at the right moment and shouted, "Face them!"
As a first-tier main city, the city wall was incredibly resilient, capable of withstanding attacks for a long time. However, this didn't mean the defenders had to rely solely on the walls.
Engage first, receive support from long-range classes above the wall until the pressure becomes unbearable, then gradually transition to wall warfare to maximize the advantages of the defenders.
"Clank, clank, clank..."
The iron chains collided, and the heavy city gate slowly opened.
Skeleton soldiers and adventurers poured out like a tide, fanning out in a semicircle and charging towards the oncoming Clear Wind Legion.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: Please note that as the third wave boss, you cannot appear in advance!
Before Jiang Han could take any action, the system had already issued a warning.
He didn't pay much attention to it. The first wave was just an appetizer; he hadn't planned to appear.
"Jie, jie! Jie, jie!..."
The forefront skeleton soldiers suddenly increased their speed when the battle line approached. They leaped up and, using their feet, ruthlessly kicked the enemies in front of them.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A large number of players at the forefront were knocked down, suffering severe facial injuries, looking bruised and battered.
But it didn't end there. Before they could get up, the next batch of charging skeleton soldiers once again stomped them down, their pale toes moving wildly on their faces.
"Hiss..."
For a moment, a collective gasp echoed across the battlefield. Many players held their heads, staring blankly at this scene, shocked beyond words.
"Damn, they're so ruthless, these skeleton soldiers!"
"So brutal, luckily, I'm on the defending side!"
"Too classic, I must record this, I want to watch it repeatedly!"
...
"Hmm?"
Just as countless players were intimidated by the skeleton soldiers' stomping skill, Daniel on the city gate couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eyes. Involuntarily, he turned his head to look not far away at Jiang Han, who was watching the battle.
This so-called stomping skill was a new addition to the skeleton soldiers' skill panel. The answer to who created it was self-evident.
Sensing Daniel's gaze, Jiang Han turned around and flashed him a harmless and brilliant smile.
Such an evil smile!
Daniel took a deep breath and sighed, "Truly a Dark Swordsman..."
He felt that his
disciple was good in everything, except for being unethical!
