Chapter 539 Crushing an Ant

“Build the defense!”

Looking into the distance, a large number of Hybrid Demons were charging at us . Even I felt a little faint at heart . I pulled out my sword . [Zhan Long]’s formation was right beside the NPC formation, so we were definitely not getting the smaller number of enemies . What we needed to do was survive, all the way until we kill all of the Hybrid Demons . If the Hybrid Demons don’t die, then I’m afraid the ones who will are us .

……

“Keng keng keng… . ”

Everyone on [Zhan Long]’s frontline pulled out their blades, but their hands trembled as they gripped it with their sweaty palms . Everyone experienced for themselves just how scary the strength of these Hybrid Demons were, and now there were countless Hybrid Demons Right in front of us . Nobody had the confidence to say that they could hold them off . All we could do was try our best .

I raised my arm and my [God Army Cards] began to spin in my hand . “Shua!” I set up an [Azure Dragon Crossbow] behind me . Then, I looked towards all of the players on the frontline and said, “Don’t try and counterattack . All you need to focus on is defense . Prepare all of your potions and heal skills . As long as we can hold them off, then we can kill them . One row of defense is not enough, make three!”

All of the Knights and Swordsmen reorganized themselves so that there were three rows of defense lines . I stood at the forefront of the first defense line and held my breath as I looked out into the crowd of monsters . It was a crowd of dwarves that were around 1 . 3m tall . All of them gave off a fiery red aura and they held a short sickle in hand . “Yi Yi Yi” they screeched and sprinted straight at us!

Very soon, I could read the stats of these little monsters . I couldn’t tell anything!

[Little Sickle Demons] (Type: Level 2 Hybrid Demon)

Level: 110

Attack: ???

Defense: ???

Health: ???

Skills: ???

Introduction: Little Sickle Demons, this is a group of desolate souls that have been tortured in the depths of hell . They have an extremely strong penetration power and high movement speed, and has been known as the ants of Hell . They’re are so many of them that the human empires are left in despair . These Little Sickle Demons are inherently greedy, and love gold . After killing off all the humans in an empire, they split their bodies, looking for gold and silver .

……

Li Mu gritted his teeth, “I don’t know if we can hold off this wave . There’s so f*cking many of them…”

Wang Jian nodded, “Let’s just charge forward with all our strength!”

Wan Er raised her dagger and stood on the frontlines . She released her Purple Kiring Dragon and let it fly into the sky . She then looked at me and said, “Pig, what do we do if we can’t hold them off?”

I calmly smiled, “Then we’ll just die here together…”

Wan Er was speechless .

In the distance, the number one Berserker in [Flying Dragon], Fierce Tiger, raised his battle axe in front of his chest and entered into a defensive stance . Looking at the crowd of Little Sickle Demons in the distance, he couldn’t help but laugh, “Hei, looks like their all dwarves . They don’t even look that tall . How strong could they be?”

Drunken Spear held his heavy shield up and said, “Careful, don’t be arrogant!”

Right at that moment, a group of the little sickle demons screeched and ran towards us . Three of them raised their flaming sickles and “ka ka ka” hacked right into Fierce Tiger’s battle axe . In the end, three enormous damage numbers flew up——

“17262！”

“15271！”

“17267！”

……

Fierce Tiger cried out and was instantly killed . Even his battle axe was dropped . Lights flashed across the battlefield as numerous people died . Even those these little demons were small, their strength was terrifying .

“Use [Scatter Shot] on them and stun them all!”

I immediately sent out the command . Dancing Forest raised her bow and shot out [Scatter Shots] one after another . Each only had a stun rate of 30%, but that was already pretty good, at least it was enough to hold them off for now .

I raised both of my swords as three of the little demons charged towards me . All of their sickles had flames rising from the blades . It was the same skill, “Keng Keng Keng!” They hit against my Zhen Yue Sword, creating three sparks——

“7267！”

“6269！”

“7021！”

Not bad, I could take this kind of damage . The [Zhan Long] Healer team had been protected fairly well, and so they could heal quite a bit . Instantly killing me was not going to be an easy task for them .

Beside me, Matcha, Tang Xin, Wan Er, and One Second Hero all charged forward . Their health continuously fell, but with the support of the players behind us, they managed to stay alive . Dong Cheng, Dancing Forest and Thousand Suns used all their power to deal attacks . [Magma Lance] and [Magma Abyss] exploded in the crowd of monsters . Theses strong Hybrid Demons only had a high attack, but their survivability wasn’t much higher than a Thunder Tier monster .

I raised both swords and threw a [Wind Blade]+[Fierce Ice Blade] . The little demon in front of me wailed as I cut into it . Cutting it and killing it at the same time, I managed to drain quite a bit of health back——

“7625！”

“+1525！”

“7422！”

“+1484！”

……

The 20% Drain effect from the Ruler’s Ring was just too amazing . This greatly increased my ability to last in a drawn out battle . Even if I didn’t have the support of Healers, I could probably deal with 1-2 of them on my own .

However, while Wan Er and I could fend of our inch of territory, it was much harder for the rest of them . The close combat tier players near Qing Qian were continuously being killed by the Little Sickle Demons . It looked as though they were about to break through . [Wrath of the Heroes], [Hero’s Mound: Division One] and [Thousand Mound] had completely lost their defense . The frontline players had pretty much all been killed!

I quickly glanced towards One Second Hero, “Yong Jie, use your special skill!”

Without a second though, One Second Hero smashed his shield into the ground and roared, activated [Fierce Sun Wall] . All of the people around us obtained the shield’s effect, helping people hold up a little . Everyone focused on firepower as the effect remained . Once it finished, Simple immediately waved her staff, activating [Savage Domain] . It was another shield type of skill, that allowed all of the people around us to receive 5000 less damage .

Once the two great skills were completed, I glanced around and felt a little annoyed . My [King Domain] from the Ruler’s Ring still had 9 hours of cool down left . Whatever, no need to waste time thinking about it . I quickly activated a [Halberd Flame] to burn all of the little sickle demons around me . I did everything in my power to kill more of these little monsters . My Flaming Tiger God also roared and charged into the crowd of monsters . After using a [Bursfire Raid] it got killed by a group of little demons . Looking at Wan Er’s Purple Kirin Dragon flying in the sky, I realized it was much safer for it than my tiger .

……

“Boss, they’re about to break through our defense!” Li Mu’s eyes widened and he said, “These little sickle demons are practically like servants of the Death God . Every attack is accurate and brutal . How are we supposed to deal with them?”

Not far from us, Yan Zhao also shouted, “How’s [Zhan Long] doing? [Prague] can’t hold up much longer!”

I gritted my teeth, “Even if we can’t hold up, we still have to fight . Either way, it’s better than waiting for our deaths!”

……

“Yi?”

Right at that moment, Wan Er’s beautiful eyes glanced back at the introduction . She reached into her bag and grabbed a fistful of gold . “Shua!” She threw it towards the west . Right at that moment all of the little demons started screeching and lunging for the gold . Some of them even started fighting each other .

“Now, charge!”

Our beautiful little miss really was clever, to actually think of a method like this… I raised my sword and charged forward . This time everyone switched from defense to attack, killing quite a few . In the chaos, we killed a dozen of them and then returned to defense . The experience was extremely good . Plus, we decreased the damage to ourselves by quite a bit . All we had to do was spend a little bit of money… .

Once Yan Zhao, Jian Feng Han and the others saw this happening, it was as though they grabbed onto a strand of hope . Isn’t it just spending a little money? As long as they could complete this quest, what wouldn’t they sacrifice?!

And so, gold flew into the air, decreasing the charging power dealt on the players . Even though players were still dying, we weren’t at the point of losing control of the situation any longer .

……

On the other side of the formation, Frost and Luo Lin gripped their swords, letting out a strong aura . They didn’t seem to have any intent on fighting for the players, and continued to fight their own fights .

Nearly 2 hours of fierce battle later, We had killed off all of the little sickle demons . But the 170,000+ Gold I had in my bag was almost all gone . Wan Er curiously glanced at me, “I lost 110,000 in total . Guild Master, now its up to you, how do you plan on compensating me?”

I felt a stab in my heart and nearly cried, “Let’s talk about it later . Why don’t we finish this quest first… . ”

……

Looking around me, I saw corpses everywhere . Without thinking, we lost a bunch of more players . Looking around [Zhan Long] at most had 150 people left . The player camp in total probably didn’t have more than 1000 . Even [Vanguard] and [Prague] only had around a hundred players left . Our loss were great . Furthermore, there was still a few little sickle demons lunging at our formation . However, it looked as though the NPC camp managed to keep most of their army intact . There were at least 1000+ of them sitll fighting .

“Careful!”

Frost retreated several steps and shouted, “Lin Han is here!”

In the air, wind began to gather and an enormous figure flew towards us . It was Hell’s Song Lin Han . This was a BOSS so high level that even I couldn’t see its tier and stats . It was definitely at least above Divine Tier . He held a sickle in hand and a cruel smile on his face . Lin Han roared, “Why don’t you try a taste of the godly weapon Misfortune!”

The name of that sickle was Misfortune . It was probably another blade of legends!

“Hum!”

Misfortune was wrapped in a deadly aura . The sky behind it seemed to have been dyed in red . Just how many deaths was this blade going to bring?!

“Careful, take your defenses!” Li Mu shouted .

I immediately spun around and said, “F*ck defense, everyone run down the hill . We’re not going to be able hold this place!”

Wolf, Qing Qian and Wan Er all rushed down the hill . I grabbed Darling Duck in one hand and sprinted forward . Jian Feng Han, Yan Zhao Warrior, and Misty Cloud saw us running and followed behind, leaving the hundreds of Ba Huang City warriors there to take a last stand .

“Hong!”

A flame engulfed the sky and a enormous sickle blade descended upon the earth!

“Hong!”

A shockwave swept through the map and the little hill was immediately decimated in seconds . Hundreds of Ba Huang City warriors were turned to dust .

In the sky, Luo Lin gripped his sword so hard it began to shake . He looked at Lin Han and screamed, “You wretched demon, you demon, I’m going to kill you, I… I will kill you!”

He swung his blade and dashed forward, charging straight at Lin Han!

“Keng!”

An earsplitting shriek sounded out and the sky seemed to have split in half . This was no longer a battle for us players to take part in . After all, look at their strength .

……

The sickle blade parried Luo Lin’s attack . Lin Han’s cruel smile was replaced by a contemptible smile, “What’s your name youngster? I’m starting to take an interest in you . ”

Luo Lin threw a kick and said, “Ba Huang City General——Luo Lin!”

“Good, good, good… . ”

Lin Han easily dodged Luo Lin’s attack . After repeating “Good” three times, he raised his sickle and smiled, “Now that I know your name, you can go die now . I don’t care how strong your empire of the South is, or how much money you have . But in my eyes, killing you is as easy as crushing an ant!”
