The number of people on top of the city walls increased, like cakes stuck on a stove. Our Heaven's Choice team only occupied a mere six square meters, me, Zhang Wei, Wang Jinghai, and I were at the front line. Lin Che, Su Xiran, and Xu Jiaxin were next, maintaining a close combat and long-range division.

In the distance, a few familiar figures were climbing up the city wall. They were Liu Qiang, Wang Xi, Wang Qian, Zhang Liang and the other members of the imperial government, but there was no place for them. Someone protested from the direction they were heading: "There are already people here, we got a good seat yesterday!"

Liu Qiang raised his eyebrows, "One position at 2000G, deal with them and leave."

The group of people immediately became excited. They dejectedly took the money and gave up their seats. It perfectly explained what it meant to have money to do whatever you want, but … The long-range players of the Empire's Hegemony were only average in strength. They might not be able to survive this ordeal.

… ….

More and more figures appeared on top of the city walls. The members of the God Realm of Chi Bai, the Tang Sect, the Hero Hall, the Door of Healing, the Free and Unrestrained Pavilion and other guilds all appeared. It could be said that on the northern city wall, a large portion of the City of Colossal Deer's elite players had gathered.

The crowd behind Su Xi Ran and Xu Jia Cheng constantly moved forward, causing the two beauties to stand shoulder to shoulder with a few players, unavoidably encountering the hands of salted pigs and so on. Among them was a rather wretched swordsman, who rubbed Xu Jia Chen's shoulder as he asked her, "Beautiful little glutinous rice, would you like to believe in WeChat?"

Xu Jiaqing's face was deathly pale. She had never seen such a scene before since she arrived at the Colossal Deer City.

I quickly turned around and smashed the Amethyst Icy Soul Shield onto the ground, protecting Xu Jiaqing in my arms and the shield. I raised my eyebrows and said to the swordsman, "Get the hell out of my way, otherwise I'll throw you off the city wall."

"How long is it going to be, you …"

The swordsman's expression changed, but he seemed to be worried that I would throw him down. The wall of the Stronghold was at least ten meters high, and falling down was not a joke. He subconsciously retreated, using all his strength to forcefully push him back a yard.

I swept my gaze across the crowd and the two players who were stuck close to Su Xi Ran tactfully retreated. As for Lin Che, he grinned: "Don't worry about me. It's quite comfortable for everyone to squeeze together."

Beside him, two male archers had a gay smile on their faces.

Su Xi Ran laughed and said: "Team D, thank you."

Xu Jiaxing's face reddened as she snuggled up against my arm. Her pair of beautiful eyes looked at me and said, "Boss, I really feel safe around you."

I sighed. "Protect yourself carefully."

"Yes, yes."

It was obvious that a great war was about to befall upon this forward stronghold of the human race. The Arch River Stronghold could be said to be a mandatory battlefield north of the Colossal Deer City, and once it fell, the entire northern border of Colossal Deer City would be exposed to the Purgatory Legion's sharp claws.

Time ticked by, and when there was only an hour left in the countdown, there was movement in the crystal forest in the distance. The forest quivered with the sound of movement, and lines of cavalry soldiers rushed out of the forest, one after another from the army of the Dragon Slayer Cavalry. Their armor and swords were dyed with a layer of blood.

"Swish …"

Her silver armour had already turned red, and the cloak behind her was half burnt away. There were even signs of her armor being melted, I really don't know what kind of terrifying existence was able to beat her up like this.

After Luo Qingyi's figure appeared behind Sura and a group of bronze-armored cavalry NPCs, I heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, my 'department' was still here. It seemed that this version didn't affect Sura, which was good enough.

"Over the bridge."

When Luo Qingyi gave her order, all of the cavalry soldiers flew over the floating bridges and returned to the Stronghold, they didn't even need to use up their provisions and their cannons were immediately blown up. Under the watch of many players, Luo Qingyi turned around and with a slash of her sword, her battle qi turned into flames, burning all the floating bridges.

"I hope we can stop them for a while and return to the fortress."

"Yes, princess!"

All of the Steel Cavalry returned to the stronghold, and the iron gates that were not open to the players beneath the stronghold opened. All of the NPC cavalry entered the stronghold, and the part of the city that was guarded by the NPC was already filled with arrow towers and cannon towers.

… ….

Time flew. In the blink of an eye, there were only ten minutes left.

"It's coming."

Su Xi Ran looked into the distance and laughed.

I held onto my shield and stood in front of her. "You be careful. You just need to direct the Goldbiter Rats to throw magic at them. You don't need to do it yourself. We still don't know how strong the monsters are."

"Un, understood!"

At this moment, the sound of war drums came from the distance, shaking the crystal forest, scaring thousands of birds into flying. Faintly, one could see a tall platform slowly building up, crushing the jungle, layer upon layer, on top of the platform, two vicious looking Abyss Beasts covered in scales were vigorously waving their arms, vigorously waving their drumsticks, hitting the war drum made from giant beast skin, making a heaven shaking sound. At the same time, one could faintly see the densely packed figures of the Purgatory Legion in the jungle.

Ten minutes later, the countdown came to an end. With a "dong" sound, the countdown on the interface disappeared and was replaced by a line of blood-red "First Wave" words. At the same time, a battle leaderboard appeared on top, and with a pull, it was like a curtain falling down, indicating the player's rank.

In the forest, a black mass of the Death Legion was dispatched. They were a group of Skeleton Soldiers with bone swords. Although there was a river in the middle of them, they charged over like madmen.

"Can these skeletons swim?" Lin Che laughed, "Since the river was so swift, it would be strange if their skeletons weren't washed away. Isn't this courting death?"

Wang Jianhai narrowed his eyes, "Maybe he was trying to follow the example of someone, but now he's trying to break the flow by throwing a bone."

"Something is not right..." I thought for a moment.

Xu Jiacheng leaned on my shoulder and looked into the distance with her beautiful eyes. "Boss, what's wrong?"

"The water of the Arch River is always flowing from the west to the east, before finally returning to the South Sea. Why is it flowing from the east to the west now? This is a bit abnormal." "No," I said.

Su Xi Ran was surprised: "Such a detailed observation …."

"After all, I've swam before..."

At this moment, the bottom of the river suddenly surged with massive waves, and soon after, many twisted figures emerged from the bottom of the river. At this time, the bottom of the river, suddenly flowed from huge waves, and soon, many twisted figures emerged from the bottom of the river.

About fifty meters away from us, Luo Qingyi stood on the highest viewing platform in the city wall and lightly knitted her brows as she said: "Bastard … …" They have actually resurrected the body of the river bottom's flood dragon, this is too hateful! "

Sura said, "This time, they really did come prepared."

The leader of the Dragon Slayer Cavalry Regiment sneered, "Princess, please be at ease. Our huge cannon and cavalry army will let these animals, who have long been reduced to dust, return to the dust, and return to the earth, know how powerful they are!"

"Prepare to fight." Luo Qingyi whispered.

"Yes sir!"

Mu Yu raised his hand to pull out his sharp sword. He pointed it towards the distance and growled, "Stone throwing chariot, torchstone, archers, prepare your arrows, cannon camp. Prepare to aim and fire!"

On the high platform in the city, the NPC Legion was busy. On the archer tower, the archers all had a serious expression on their faces as they took out their bows and started to fire their arrows. The catapults in the city started to light up and prepare for battle.

… ….

They were coming. The densely-packed skeleton soldiers were charging over along the bridges formed by the ten giant flood dragons. They raised their bone swords and let out deep roars. Their eyes were filled with killing intent.

The attributes of a level 66 Gold-rank monster are pretty good, but it made me jump in fright. Currently, the average level of the players in Colossal Deer City is Level 55. The system has actually sent out a level 66 monster for the first wave.

At this time, the city was packed with players, all of whom were unable to squeeze into the stronghold. They all went up against the skeleton soldiers one by one, and at the same time, streams of raging flames soared into the sky.

Not long after, a dense crowd of skeletons had already entered our range.

At the same time, I raised my hand to take out my Devil's Bow and shot an arrow towards the city wall, hitting the skeleton soldiers that were left with blood. As for Lin Che and Wang Jinghai, they were both long-range players, like fish in water.

The first wave of monsters were close combat. They weren't able to approach the city walls at all. They were simply giving out experience points.

However, everyone was competing for the quest rankings. No one wanted to fall behind. Outside of the city walls, countless players rushed towards the monster horde like an ocean. They had started fighting with the skeletons south of the river.

He was too impatient. Once he died, he wouldn't be able to enter the active zone again. He only had one chance, but it wouldn't be worth it if he was killed.
