In fact, the Sons of Nightmare really had no intention of ambush. After leaving the town, they headed straight for the Ancient Arena Fortress of Bigsas. When they rushed all the way to dozens of kilometers away from the Ancient Arena, they received news from Bigsas that the Sons of Nightmare had arrived and were ready to attack the fortress.
In the ancient arena, Bigsas looked solemnly at the many sons of nightmare in the ruins outside. It turned out that this place was full of undead, but now they had all been killed. The occasional refreshes were also killed immediately.
The number of Nightmare Children was greater than he had expected, but luckily they had anticipated this and now had a dozen of their companions here.
Although their numbers are far less than those of the Sons of Nightmares, defense in the early stages is not a problem.
As long as the human players gathered from other places and the players from other fortresses in Bunar Floating Land can get here as soon as possible, resisting and counterattacking will not be a problem.
The message from the group chat indicated that the first batch of reinforcements were nearby, and he felt a little relieved.
Lin Xiao followed the others very low-key, not only because it was his first time encountering such a group fight, but also because he did not bring many men with him.
Most of his men stayed behind at the base, and he only brought one lord-level warrior, two chief-level warriors, one chief archer, two chief mages, two chief priests, five enhanced elite warriors, fifty elites, and three hundred ordinary cannon fodder.
Most of the elites and cannon fodder were newly exchanged in the past few months. After several months of leveling, their levels are only around level 65, which is just the average level of ordinary wild monsters here.
With a group of leaders, you can defeat anyone, but there are too many enemies, so it is better to keep a low profile.
The average strength of the twenty or so human players was similar to that of the Son of Nightmare, with a total of seven to eight thousand subordinates. They had always kept a distance of several kilometers from the Son of Nightmare. Gu Cheng said in the channel:
"Don't get too close to them first. Wait until the people from other locations arrive and then attack together. Oh, and His Excellency the Dragon Emperor will also be here this time. He will be there to deal with the elites among the Sons of Nightmares."
"Dragon Emperor?"
The image of a gentle black-haired boy instantly emerged in Lin Xiao's mind.
Gu Cheng nodded and said,
"Yes, it's His Excellency the Dragon Emperor from the War Throne Super Academy. He was one of the first players to come here. He has now built a fortress in the Kurun Floating Land. It's already a second-level fortress. With his strength and accumulation, there is a great chance that he will be promoted to a third-level fortress within three years."
"This big guy rarely speaks. He hadn't spoken before, but I didn't expect him to come quietly."
"This guy was ranked first on the Tianjiao sub-list when he entered college. Although he is only a freshman now, his strength is growing very fast. A senior in the War Throne commented that he will definitely be able to surpass many juniors and seniors and continue to be ranked on the Tianjiao main list after he enters his sophomore year."
"Many bigwigs speak very highly of him. A bigwig in the military has evaluated all the contestants on the previous Tianjiao sub-list, the Peerless sub-list, and the Renjie sub-list, and he ranked second."
"oh!"
This ranking is quite high, but then again, Wu Zhonglin can only be ranked second, so who is first?
He asked curiously:
"Who comes first then?"
A player named Yue Lingzhi said:
"Lin Xiao!"
Uh.Ah!
He almost responded subconsciously.
This answer was even more unexpected than the previous one.
"The first one is from Huiyao Super Academy. According to the internet, he defeated all the senior and junior students in Huiyao during his first class at the university. He also personally killed several True God-level Void Sons, including one with mid-level godly power."
Lin Xiao was stunned and opened his mouth wanting to explain.
"Of course, this rumor is so outrageous that it must be false."
Yue Lingzhi smiled and said,
"But I'm sure his record is amazing, otherwise he wouldn't be ranked first by that big shot. You have to know that His Excellency Dragon Emperor Wu Zhonglin defeated a senior from the War Throne in a challenge. Regardless of his own strength or his God Realm clan, he defeated his senior. This is a real record, and it's amazing."
Gu Cheng said with envy:
"He's only a freshman but he can beat a senior. By the time he's a senior, he'll probably be a legend. How enviable."
"That's inevitable. Super elites like them can't be judged by common sense."
"Not only seniors, but also juniors."
"It's too early for the third year. Maybe they have the strength to become gods early, but they will definitely accumulate more before becoming gods. By then, when they enter the battlefield outside the domain, their strength and accumulation will be deeper and safer."
"In any case, people like them are not on the same level as us."
There was a moment of silence, but Lin Xiao could clearly feel their envy, real envy.
Pinching his chin, he was looking forward to seeing Wu Zhonglin again. It had been a long time since they last met, and he was still as cool as ever.
Come to think of it, he hasn't given himself a cool nickname yet. Seeing that other people's names like Dragon Emperor Zhoulong sound very cool, he wants to come up with one for himself too.
After thinking carefully about my abilities, family, and treasures, I came up with a few suitable and stylish names.
For example, the creation derived from the Creation Cube?
The Shura derived from the Shura Naga?
The Protoss derived from the Protoss clan?
etc!
He pinched his chin and thought for a few seconds, then said a name:
"Star God?"
"Shura and Star God!"
These two names are both well-known and impressive, and they are also classy enough to be suitable nicknames for yourself.
But there is only one nickname, and you must choose one.
Relatively speaking, he prefers Star God?
"Okay, then Star God!"
The code name Shura is definitely cool enough, but it is too ostentatious and does not suit his personality. Relatively speaking, Star God is a better name.
"Then my nickname from now on will be Star God!"
Rubbing his chin, Lin Xiao was quite satisfied with this nickname.
Unfortunately, it is not appropriate to publicize this nickname now. I can't take the initiative to tell them - Hey, I am the number one boss you are talking about, you can call me Star God from now on. I
will be regarded as a psychopath.
And even if he thought about it this way, it would be so shameful that he couldn't do such a thing.
"boom!"
A huge mushroom cloud of flames rose from the outer wall of the Ancient Arena, marking the beginning of the Nightmare Son's attack on Bigsas Fortress. The players who were chatting in the group chat stopped talking when they saw the war information sent by Bigsas. They all looked at the bloodthirsty Keller and Gu Cheng with serious expressions. The two of them were the temporary commanders.
It's not that they are the strongest, but that they have a wide circle of friends. Many people present know each other through them, so they are temporarily in command.
However, those present were all elites, and it would not be possible for them to command their subordinates like that. So although it was called command, in fact, it was just a discussion between the two of them before they gave the orders.
The two discussed it in the group chat, kept communicating with the players of the other two teams, and quickly made a decision to gather at one place and meet up with the people from the other two teams first.
The meeting point is about six or seven kilometers away from the ancient arena of Bigsas, and is a highland ruin.
The high ground can be used to observe the battlefield on the other side of the ancient arena, and support can be provided at any time as long as the situation is not good. At the same time, it can also put some pressure on the Son of Nightmare so that they dare not devote their full strength to the battlefield.
At the same time, this terrain is easy to defend but difficult to defend. If the Sons of Nightmare do not attack the Ancient Arena Fortress but instead encircle and suppress them, they can be discovered and evacuated in advance.
Once they join up with the other two player teams, they will be strong enough to fight the Son of Nightmare head-on.
In fact, their tactic is to gather everyone and fight head-on. Everyone is a player, so it is basically impossible to launch a sneak attack on a large force, so they can only fight head-on.
Among the subordinates of the Son of Nightmare, there are also mages, priests and other professions, as well as different races. Like them, there are just slightly fewer mages, but as the number of players increases, the accumulated number also increases. Some of the thousands of mages gather forward and enter the casting range to cast spells. Countless blizzards, fire and rain fall, and a thick defensive barrier rises on the city walls. The durability of up to one million slides down like a waterfall, and then recovers as a large amount of military supplies are consumed.
This defensive barrier is only available in a first-level fortress. Lin Xiao's fortress had just been upgraded and he had not had time to install it. By the time Lin Xiao left, it had already been installed.
The barrier itself has a durability of one million, and friendly forces within the barrier will gain a pretty good BUFF - health and mana or energy limits increased by 20%, recovery speed +100%, all damage reduced by 10%, and all damage increased by 10%.
This BUFF will be strengthened as the barrier is upgraded after the fortress is upgraded. It will be very powerful if it is upgraded two or three times.
The ancient arena of Bigsas has only two gates, and more than a dozen players and nearly ten thousand men are guarding the two entrances and exits. It is not easy to attack from outside.
The Sons of Nightmare have an absolute advantage in numbers and strength, and they will definitely be able to break through the fortress after a period of time, but they definitely don't have that much time.
The fierce battle lasted from morning to noon. In less than half a day, the second support force arrived and joined them, and their strength instantly doubled.
The Sons of Nightmare who were attacking the city immediately stopped the attack, and the troops slowly retreated and regrouped.
They quickly cheered up and prepared to retreat immediately if the Nightmare Son's coalition forces attacked, and then counterattack when the last team arrived.
However, the Son of Nightmare did not attack. Instead, he reorganized his army and sent a messenger over.
Lin Xiao was quite surprised after reading the declaration of war sent by the Nightmare Son messenger in the group by Gu Cheng. Yue Lingzhi clapped her hands and laughed,
"This is exactly what we want. Since they want to have a serious battle with us, this is a good thing. When His Excellency Dragon Emperor comes, we will gather the brothers in the fortress and fight them seriously."
"This battle is related to our overall interests in this area. If we win, we will have a huge advantage over the Son of Nightmare. If we lose, it will be miserable for us. It will be difficult to take back the lost territory in the future, so everyone must go all out!"
"It's necessary."
Someone laughed and said:
"We are now the forerunners of the human team. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. There are two Nightmare Son fortresses in the floating land fragment where I am. If we defeat their main force in this battle, I can defeat one and seize the territory before they recover."
"I'm worse off than you. I'm just a human being. I've been on the defensive before. If I can defeat them in this battle, I can also breathe a sigh of relief."
