Chapter 109: Reinforcements Arrive, Johnnie Steps In
Roar...
The Monster’s roar echoed continuously. Johnnie no longer held back, freely slaughtering these monsters with any weapon he could find.
Countless Beast Wave troops were easily blocked in the dark forest passage, unable to break through and threaten the city.
But Dylan’s side was under increasing pressure.
Soldiers were suffering heavy losses, and many had died so many times that their minds were severely damaged, forcing them to log off and disconnect from the game.
"Has the Teleportation Array been repaired yet?" Dylan was anxious.
He noticed the number of soldiers was rapidly decreasing, and many had completely disconnected from the game after dying, unable to log back in.
"Sir, almost done. The other four battle zones, as well as the soldiers from the Blazing Dragon Theater, have all gathered. They’re ready to reinforce anytime." The subordinate immediately replied.
"The Blazing Dragon Theater is also coming out?" Dylan was surprised. The Blazing Dragon Theater was directly under the old leader’s command. Though only ten thousand strong, they were mostly martial arts disciples, with terrifying strength. They never participated in military actions outside of their own ranks.
He hadn’t expected this battle to even bring them into play, which meant the old leader took this city-building very seriously.
Roar...
The monsters roared angrily again. The powerful Blazing Tiger and Furious Fire Lion ruthlessly slaughtered soldiers and players, advancing step by step toward the city.
Bzzz!
Suddenly, the city sparkled with light. The Teleportation Array had been repaired, and a large number of reinforcements arrived.
Using the Teleportation Array cost 10 gold coins per person. This time, all the battle zones had invested heavily, continuously sending soldiers through the portal.
If the city was successfully built, the teleportation fees would be part of the city’s revenue. But The Chinese City had not yet been successfully established.
"Dylan, let your Second Front soldiers log off and rest. We’ll take care of this." a solemn old man appeared.
Elon from the Fourth Front.
"General Elon!" Dylan was delighted. He bowed and immediately ordered."Order the Second Front: any soldier who has died more than five times must log off immediately."
Five deaths were the limit. If a soldier died again, their mind would suffer lasting trauma.
Under his orders, the soldiers from the Second Front who had died more than five times immediately logged off. Over half of the soldiers had already died five times or more, and many were barely holding on with sheer willpower.
"General Elon, I’ll leave this to you." Dylan handed over command and respectfully bowed.
"Rest assured, The Chinese City will not fall!" Elon vowed, then immediately ordered his subordinates to take over the battle. They too were fighting with their lives, preventing the Beast Wave from attacking.
The Teleportation Array glowed again, and soldiers continuously arrived from the First, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Front. A total of more than 200,000 soldiers arrived, seriously slowing down the Beast Wave’s advance.
In this situation, it was definitely possible to hold off the fourth wave of Beast Wave attacks.
The players who had organized themselves on their own also gained confidence, working together with the soldiers to block the Beast Wave.
Far away, Macbeth saw the scene and said excitedly."Dorian, the Teleportation Array of The Chinese City has opened. Now is the perfect time to strike. We can take them by surprise and work together with the Beast Wave from the inside. The Chinese City will be destroyed for sure."
Dorian looked at him and said calmly."Who said I want to destroy The Chinese City?"
Macbeth was stunned, then realized it and said in surprise."You’re going to take over The Chinese City?"
Dorian nodded and said."The Chinese City is blocking the dark forest passage. If we take it, what do you think?"
Macbeth’s eyes lit up and he said excitedly."We will control the entire dark forest and control countless players."
"Ah, that’s not all." Dorian laughed coldly. He knew the secret of the dark forest.
Controlling players? No. He was going to control Pluto.
The dark forest used to be Pluto’s territory, and there were countless of his followers inside. Controlling the dark forest meant threatening Pluto himself.
Night fell, and the battle continued. Below the city walls, screams echoed. The Beast Wave army had already reached the city.
But the fourth wave of Beast Wave was about to end. This time, there were no flying monsters, and they could no longer threaten the city.
Time passed slowly, and soon two hours had gone by.
[The fourth wave of Beast Wave attack has ended. The fifth wave of monster attack will begin in thirty minutes.]
The message appeared.
"Another one?" Dylan was already numb.
The fourth wave had already reached stage 4 monsters. The fifth wave of Beast Wave would definitely be even worse.
Could they hold it?
He looked at the soldiers and players who were dying one after another, and anger burned in his heart.
This was the system targeting them on purpose.
A level 1 city, built near a village for new players, usually only faced three waves of Beast Wave attacks, and the monsters weren’t too strong.
But now, they had attracted a fifth wave of Beast Wave.
Boom!
The city walls trembled and shook violently. Two Blazing Tiger leaders and three Furious Fire Lion leaders were attacking the walls.
"Sir, the Beast Wave hasn’t retreated. They’re attacking the walls." a soldier ran in panic and reported.
"What?" Dylan’s face changed slightly.
Normally, after the fourth wave of Beast Wave attacks ended, the monster army should have retreated. But these Blazing Tigers and Furious Fire Lions weren’t retreating at all. Instead, they were becoming even more frenzied, fighting desperately to destroy the walls.
Was it really impossible to hold them?
Dylan felt despair in his heart. At this point, the players couldn’t possibly kill stage 4 monsters. They could only sacrifice their lives to block them.
Only Johnnie could kill those terrifying stage 4 monsters.
He thought of this and immediately contacted Johnnie for help.
Dylan: "Johnnie guru, the fourth wave of Beast Wave hasn’t retreated. It’s already threatening the walls. We can’t hold it."
Johnnie: "Hold on for five more minutes!"
He quickly received Johnnie’s reply.
In the dark forest passage, Flame Dragon Servants were still coming, but they weren’t increasing anymore. Only a few tens of thousands were left.
Johnnie fully focused on The Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords, and the Seven Sword flew around, slashing wildly. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
These Flame Dragon Servants were no match for him. He easily killed them in an instant.
[Killed a stage 6, level 5 Flame Dragon Servant. Gained 64 experience points.]
[You have leveled up to stage 4,level 9...]
The level-up message flashed. Around him, the Flame Dragon Servants were quickly wiped out, and his level had now reached stage 4,level 9.
He was just one level away from triggering the next advancement quest.
Seeing that no new monsters were appearing, Johnnie let out a slight sigh of relief, and immediately exited the dark forest passage to support other parts of the city.
Boom, boom...
All around the city, the sound of explosions continued. Countless Blazing Tigers and Furious Fire Lions were attacking the walls. Even the northern wall had monsters appearing.
Players trying to block them with their bodies had already failed.
Johnnie was furious. Seven flashes of cold light, he began to brutally slaughter the monsters around the walls.
These stage 4 monsters were no match for him. They couldn’t even withstand his terrifying damage.
"Johnnie guru, help the eastern wall first. The wall there has already been destroyed." Dylan saw Johnnie arrive and felt a sense of relief. He immediately said.
"Okay, watch the dark forest passage for me." Johnnie reminded, then immediately rushed toward the eastern wall.
There was still one more wave of Beast Wave, and he was worried that even stronger monsters might be emerging from the dark forest.
Roar, roar...
At the eastern wall, the battle was brutal. The Yett family members and soldiers had already died more than five times. Vivian’s elite forces had been completely wiped out, leaving only her. She was now in danger, surrounded by stage 4 monsters, but she was being protected by Crysic and the others, which saved her.
Zing...
The Intent of the Sword hummed. Johnnie arrived instantly, and seven flashes of cold light appeared as he began his massacre.
"Master, I’m here to help you!" Dragon Patterned Sword glowed. The Red Carp appeared, and rushed into the Beast Wave army.
Although her strength was only stage 2, her true form was the Dragon Patterned Sword, containing Celestial Dragon bloodline. She was powerful enough to easily deal with stage 4 Blazing Tigers and Furious Fire Lions.
[Killed a stage 4, level 5 Furious Fire Lion. Your level has surpassed the Furious Fire Lion. No experience points gained.]
...
The messages kept coming. Killing these weak monsters no longer gave him any experience.
"Senior, join the team!" Johnnie noticed Atlas. His level was only stage 2, but he was able to fight with stage 4 monsters. He immediately invited him into the team.
There was also Finn, Cecilia, and Crysic.
"Johnnie, what about me?" Holly, on the wall, said anxiously.
"Wait a minute, I’ll take you later." Johnnie reminded, then continued to brutally slaughter the Beast Wave.
All four of them were upgrading beyond their level, gaining experience very quickly.
Especially Atlas, who was only stage 2,level 1. With Johnnie’s help, they quickly reached stage 2, level 10, triggering the Sword Immortal advancement quest. From that point on, they could no longer gain experience.
Johnnie immediately kicked them out of the team and invited Holly in.
"Hey, Johnnie, you can’t favor some over others." Lina complained.
"Lina, you can come in. I’m about to reach stage 3, level 10." Crysic voluntarily left the team.
"Thank you." Lina happily joined the team. She was only stage 2, level 3. She rarely played the game, so her level was low.
Night fell, and the monsters’ screams echoed. The brutal slaughter continued. Soon, most of the Beast Wave on the eastern wall were wiped out, and they no longer posed a threat to the city.
Several people were also fully leveled up to the current stage under his help, triggering an advancement quest.
"Switch them out." Johnnie kicked the group out of the team again, and led other Yett Family members to level up.
[Ding, Vivian requested to join the team.]
The notification came in. Johnnie was a bit surprised. Could native life from the Universe Continent team up with players?
In his previous life, he had never encountered such a thing. He immediately accepted, and rushed toward the southern wall to continue slaughtering the Beast Wave.
Far away, Macbeth and others saw this scene, frowning and looking uneasy.
"Why is this Johnnie so terrifying?" Macbeth looked at Dorian.
He had a feeling that Johnnie was even more familiar with the game than Dorian.
Dorian, however, ignored him, staring at the compass in his hand, and whispered to himself."It’s definitely on this guy!"
He put the compass away, and coldly said."Macbeth, have your people move. The fifth wave of monsters won’t threaten the city."
"Okay." Macbeth looked at him, didn’t ask further, and immediately sent a message to his subordinates, telling them to board the Teleportation Array and enter The Chinese City, to coordinate with the Beast Wave army from the inside.
