Chapter 271: 271、Defend the Radish_1
Translator: 549690339
Before Tina’s arrival, the players on the battlefield were commanded by Snow Leopard and the heads of several major guilds.
After Tina arrived, she took over command of all the units, including the players.
At the same time, a force of 2000 elite Imperial troops marched from the city barracks towards the city walls to deal with the enemy’s elite troops.
A few minutes later, these troops reached the city walls, and from a higher position, they began to attack the rebel’s elite forces.
NPC forces were pitted against NPC forces, and players against players. Both sides once again engaged in a fierce battle at the foot of the city walls.
Tina floated in the air, directing the battle below as if she were playing a “war chess simulation”.
Moreover, her command ability was stronger than Snow Leopard’s.
This “strong command ability” did not refer to better tactics, but to a higher efficiency of information delivery.
Snow Leopard’s command mode was standing on the city wall’s tower, issuing combat orders to the players through the chat room.
Although this was similar to Tina floating in the air, her combat orders had to be issued one by one, and it took some time for the players to receive them.
But Tina was different.
After she advanced to the Sanctuary, every two seconds she could send more than fifty orders through her spirit power! These orders were precisely transmitted into the minds of each small team’s captain, naturally twice as efficient.
Under Tina’s minutely detailed control, the entire player forces seemed to come alive. The player forces no longer blindly rushed forward, but coordinated with each other, intercepting and enveloping the enemy, greatly improving their combat strength!
Under Tina’s command, the combat strength of the two thousand elite Imperial troops also multiplied, and added with their advantage of higher ground, the rebel’s two thousand elites suffered heavy losses after just one charge, even one [Kilofucha] was surrounded and slain.
The rebel forces fell into a huge disadvantage again.
Not long after, at the rebel’s main camp 3 kilometers away.
In the main tent of the camp, Dukes Landilus and Anzu Seifer were discussing matters related to the final battle.
Anzu Seifer sat in the main tent’s seat, holding a glass of champagne with a smile on his face: “The high-ranking powerhouses of both Lai Yin and Wind Chime Empires are about to arrive. Once they arrive, we can start the final battle.”
Landilus also nodded casually, “Not only the two empires, the High Priest of the Orc Empire and the Sword Saint are expected to arrive in half a month. With their participation, this battle is sure to be foolproof!”
Anzu Seifer drained his champagne, stroking his beard, “The only thing I worry about is the Dragon Race, the Dragon Race hasn’t replied yet, I don’t know what His Majesty the Dragon Emperor is thinking.”
Landilus waved his hand indifferently: “We don’t have to worry about them, even if the Dragon Race doesn’t participate in the war this time, we will definitely win!”
“True, I can’t even imagine how this final battle could lose!” Anzu Seifer appeared very proud.
Just as they were speaking, a Holy Knight player arrived outside the main tent, giving a knightly salute: “Your Grace, Tina Garcia has appeared on the battlefield, and Orleans City has also dispatched two thousand elite troops.”
This Holy Knight player was named [Tear of Rupert], and he was one of the top five players in the “Holy Knight” profession in terms of comprehensive strength. He was also the overall commander of the rebel player forces this time.
He pulled a [Holy Light Imaging Stone] from his pocket, activated it with holy light, and the image within the stone emerged.
In the image, the two armies were fiercely battling at the foot of the city walls.
However, with the same two thousand elites, the rebel’s elites were being suppressed by the Imperial elites and were on the verge of being completely annihilated.
The reason why the rebel elites were unable to resist was largely due to Tina’s command.
Looking at the vibrant Tina in the image, the two Dukes exchanged a glance.
Duke Anzu Seifer pondered for a moment, then said to Landilus: “Should we specifically target this Tina Garcia? Her command is too formidable, if we don’t target her in the future, it will be a bit hard to fight.”
“You’re right.” Landilus stroked his chin and nodded.
Then he loudly told [Tear of Rupert]: “Pass on my order, let Chakar, Brandis, and Avina go deal with Tina Garcia, and at the same time dispatch another two thousand elites over.”
“Understood, Duke.” Tear of Rupert replied.
A few minutes later, in the rebel’s main camp, Chakar, Brandis, and Avina, three 6th rank Sanctuary-strong powerhouses, quickly ascended and rushed towards Tina in the sky.
The Empire’s reaction was also swift.
Before the enemy’s 3 Sanctuary-strong individuals could arrive, the Empire had 3 Sanctuary-strong individuals ascend quickly, protecting Tina behind them.
Upon realizing that they could not kill Tina Garcia, the three Sanctuary fighters of the rebel side immediately requested support from the main camp.
The main camp quickly responded to their support request, sending again two 6th-rank strong individuals and twenty 5th-rank ones.
The Empire also refused to show weakness, keeping up with the rebels by bolstering their forces.
Thus.
The number of high-ranking powerhouses on both sides began to increase over time.
In the end, the rebels’ 6th-rank powerhouses increased to 15, 5th-rank powerhouses 174, they even had two 7th-rank legends.
The number of powerhouses in the Empire was about the same.
A perfectly good war ended up resembling a tower defense game like “Defending the Carrot”!
For the rebels, in order to eat the “carrot”, they continually sent a greater number of monsters (high-ranking powerhouses) with higher power.
The Empire, in order to protect the “carrot”, constantly built more and stronger “defense towers” (high-ranking powerhouses).
And Tina, she was that “carrot”.
This “tower defense battle” lasted a full month.
During this month, 5th and 6th-rank powerhouses would occasionally fall from the sky.
Of course, Tina, the “carrot”, was well protected without any harm done to her, she even had spare capacity to direct the battle below.
According to players’ incomplete statistics, in this one month, both sides each lost more than 50 5th-rank powerhouses, and more than 5 6th-rank Sanctuary powerhouses.
The armies below also suffered heavy losses.
Almost every one of the millions of participating players died 4-8 times, nearly 200,000 regular soldiers died on the battlefield, of which about 60,000 were from the Empire, and about 140,000 were rebels.
The main storyline slowly progressed, finally reaching the last link of the defensive war – the 70th round.
After the 70th round of the main storyline began, Mr. Meng, who is known as the [Unbreakable Alliance], still, as usual, led the players to the arsenal to collect military supplies and then headed for the battlefield to kill the enemy.
At coordinates (114.514), Mr. Meng explained his intentions to the military supply officer Ockland.
Ockland cheerfully opened the arsenal behind him and went in with the players.
But this time it was different from before, Ockland’s face wore a mysterious smile, “Boys, this time’s military supplies aren’t like before! I will show you some nice things!”
“What? Are there new kinds of military supplies this time?” Mr. Meng asked curiously.
“You will know when you see them!” The military supply officer, Ockland, lifted a big wooden box taller than himself and lightly placed it at Mr. Meng’s feet.
Mr. Meng and the players beside him, filled with curiosity, unpacked the box.
But the moment they saw what was in the box, the players were shocked!
