My Players Are So Fierce

1408: 475.

Drive away wolves and chase away tigers, meow!

1408: 475.

Drive away wolves and chase away tigers, meow!

Time moved to the next day, the countdown’s eighth day of the forty-day free exploratory period for the “Swamp Shadow” event, and Miss Phemys, who had rested for six hours, began her work again.

She helped Big Bird Team and Silver Moon Group from the southern front reopen the entrance to the Plague Town.

This time, the two player guilds entered with full confidence, even though Brother Meow, the unlucky fellow, had lost his mind from chopping too delightedly yesterday and ended up poisoned to death, which didn’t really matter.

His Vam Executioner was temporarily lent to Brother Black Silk, who also specialized in huge weapons.

Lady Shui, who was in charge of healing, converted her entire spellbook into healing and poison-removing spells to use them instantly without chanting, and the players with Avalon Church professions also recorded poison-removal auxiliary spells and bought a lot of poison-resistant drugs from Ambo.

Yesterday’s failure was clearly a disgrace, so today everyone was pumped with energy, this thought of “avenging the humiliation” filled them with combat strength.

Indeed, the angered players were really troublesome!

Today’s raiding operation began, and within an hour, Zombie Military Governor Kenbort was slain by Brother Black Silk and Little Wei Ming.

Honestly, this clumsy giant undead creature didn’t really have much intelligence to speak of, even though Lame Claw had specialized it with an undead skin defense for Kenbort, but facing the edge of Vam Executioner, even the Netherworld enhancements couldn’t withstand those slashing blades.

Not to mention Little Wei Ming extravagantly provided full sets of Burning Gold Bullets for all the players in the raiding team today and even hired some veterans from Stick Brother to operate mortars for fire support from behind.

With preparations this thorough, failing to take down a gatekeeper boss would indeed be embarrassing.

But before the members of Big Bird Team and Silver Moon Group could celebrate for long, the problem that previously stumped Stick Brother’s team appeared before them.

After defeating the Gatekeeper, their next target was the Plague Warlock Tower.

Although Tear Flesh had already taken a bucket and fled, Lame Claw was still able to manipulate the Mage Tower to cause various troubles and the Wizard Tower was very cramped, stuffed with defending Jackal Warlocks, making each step forward cost the elite players from the southern front heavy casualties.

Those damned Wolf People, knowing they would be doomed once the high tower was breached, completely fortified the Mage Tower.

Lame Claw, who was in charge of central command, also activated all the traps inside the tower, turning it thoroughly into a Land of Death.

Members of Big Bird Team and Silver Moon Group spent three hours breaking through the first floor, but when they stepped onto the second floor of the Mage Tower, they triggered a malicious trap, and instantly, horrific plague toxins engulfed the entire first floor.

If it weren’t for Lady Shui’s quick reaction, decisively collaborating with Belly Brother to release a dispel spell to stop the rapid spread of the deadly poison, just this damned plague tactic would have been enough to wipe out the already exhausted raid group on the spot.

Fortunately, they had prepared enough antidotes and managed to awkwardly retreat from the Wizard Tower after leaving behind several bodies.

When they retreated, Lady Shui, who was the main healer throughout, and Belly Brother, the support healer, were both exhausted to collapse.

Lady Shui was carried by Orchid on her back, and had already logged off to rest.

Belly Brother didn’t get such good treatment and was supported by Little Brother Fu on the back of the injured Scorpion Lion, limping away from the danger zone.

“It’s unplayable, totally unplayable.”

While leaving Plague Town, Brother Black Silk, who carried Vam Executioner and served as the vanguard, said with a pale face:

“That damned terrain messes with the mind too much.

The Mage Tower stairs allow only three people to pass side by side, and if they block you at the entrance to the second floor, you just can’t charge in.

This game’s physics engine is so realistic that we don’t even have a chance to ‘glitch through,’ and we can only stack bodies.”

“It’s indeed tough.”

Orchid, usually optimistic, also felt completely frustrated.

Carrying Lady Shui, she looked back at the gloomy and ominous Wizard Tower and said through clenched teeth:

“If we had enough explosives…

we could try internal blasting, at least to reshape the terrain in a direction favorable to us, and the explosion could also cover up those unforeseen traps.

I’m just grateful that this Mage Tower is long decrepit, and the Wolf People weren’t able to fully repair its internal defense mechanisms.

I heard Miss mention before that a proper Mage Tower should include at least five autonomous Spiritual Cores and could summon elemental beings or otherworldly creatures to overwhelm intruders in case of an invasion.

According to Miss, the difficulty of attacking a Mage Tower guarded by a Mage is no less than assaulting a fully armed fortress.

I believe it now.

A dilapidated Mage Tower is this hard to fight, how on earth we’ll bite down on a real Mage Tower if we encounter one while traveling the continent in the future, the game’s power pool seemed simple at first, but looking back now it’s really inexhaustibly deep.”

“It’s all Uncle Loyalty’s fault for not being effective!”

Flying above, Little Wei Ming complained discontentedly:

“If he could produce siege cannons, how great it would be; we wouldn’t need to sacrifice lives and could just flatten it from the outside!

A hundred cannon shots are not enough, then we’ll use a thousand!

Psychics are also human; I don’t believe they can hold out forever.”
