Chapter 1539 - 1432: The Siege Battle Erupts
Outside Shadow City, as Mimilon gathered the strength of 20,000 troops, alarms blared throughout Shadow City. The city guards and mysterious NPCs, whom some players had never seen before, all assembled at the city walls.
At this moment, the Mitsubishi Team realized yet another god had appeared and regretted offering only 20,000 troops to Mimilon.
Meanwhile, a divine war loomed on the ground, while Da Fei was still engaged in skirmishes with cockroaches in the Secret Realm’s sewers, continuing to play hide-and-seek with Marquis Nash.
It had to be said, these cockroaches were incredibly resilient; area attack magic was ineffective against them, and the slow and weak sonic attack was equally useless. Whenever their health was chipped away, it would immediately recover. However, the unintended benefit of the sonic attack was that it slightly disrupted the cockroaches’ grip on the ship, easing the Sky Ship’s teleportation issues.
Ultimately, these cockroaches were large, and sending Jungle Hunters out of the cabin to shoot directly was more practical. In the face of Da Fei’s various achievements, equipment, and navigator bonuses, these cockroaches posed no threat. Thus, Da Fei deployed 200 archers densely on the deck. In an instant, the entire channel resounded with string music, flute notes, bat screeches, and the whistling of arrow rain. The skills of the Angel Army’s life recovery, mana recovery, stamina recovery, and the visual effects of the Blood Eagle’s Petrification Aura interweaved with Da Fei’s Holy Frost Aura.
Under Da Fei’s comprehensive assault, cockroaches fell in swarms, only to be replaced by new swarms surging forward. As time went by, the water in the sewers began to boil, and the toxic fumes pervading the space intensified, reaching a point where Da Fei needed to hasten his healing.
Just as Da Fei was busy exterminating bugs, a giant red dot rushed onto the radar with alarming speed!
Da Fei gritted his teeth: "Teleport!"
In a matter of seconds of channeling, the Sky Ship appeared in another corner of the sewers, greeted by an all-encompassing swarm of indefatigable cockroaches! Da Fei’s mood was as disgusted and irritable as if he’d swallowed a cockroach!
The Spider Queen’s laughter echoed once more: "Warrior, are you incapable of handling just a few bugs? Then how will you handle the attack from the Shadow Demon Army’s Elite Army?"
A few bugs? And isn’t there a Marquis Nash too? At this moment, Da Fei suddenly felt he had brought this upon himself by provoking this marquis!
Should I confront the marquis head-on? Damn, I’m better off using a borrowed knife to kill! Besides, with its power to sever with just a shout, I’d be crazy to engage in mutual destruction with it. If the Shadow Demon City Lord found out, he would laugh at a foolish NPC!
It was then that Hillsea shouted: "Master, now the Bat Barracks and the Holy Vine are united. We can draw blood energy from the Holy Vine to accelerate the production of bats!"
Exactly, the bats are too few and ineffective! Da Fei hurriedly asked: "How much faster?"
Hillsea replied hastily: "The Holy Vine is consuming the Earth Dragon King’s flesh, yielding much blood energy. If we requisition now, we should be able to produce one immediately, following which production will be several times faster!"
Damn! It’s not like one more super boss will make a difference. Do I have time to wait for future production?
Hilda quickly said: "I need the blood energy!"
Da Fei shook his head and sighed: "I’ll think of something else."
Super boss, right? Well, I have one here. Alright, let’s deploy it and see the effect.
Da Fei immediately ordered: "Tamilia, release Douglas and 100 giant slime monsters from the cabin, open space gates at the bow and stern!"
"Understood!"
The next moment, Douglas and a group of slime monsters leapt out in two directions, instantly turning the two ends of the Sky Ship’s channel into a jelly-canned mountain, reminiscent of the scene in the competition where contestants were chased by jelly mountains!
Then countless cockroaches charged like moths to a flame into Jelly Mountain, and countless "devour damage -1" data burst forth, soon becoming pools of rotting fluid!
Da Fei widened his eyes! There’s no denying: direct devouring death, without a chance for recovery! Because within the slime monster’s body the toxic domain had no effect?
Then Douglas’s muffled voice resounded again: "Progress in food reflects the progress of history!"
So that’s it! Da Fei couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Ultimately, dealing with sewer monsters requires relying on sewer monsters, fighting poison with poison!
Now, with the two massive Jelly Mountains completely blocking the cockroach assault, Da Fei could finally cease the sonic attacks to avoid drawing the Marquis Nash’s attention. The Da Fei troops immediately cleared all remaining cockroaches from the ship, and peace finally returned to the world!
It was at this moment that the Spider Queen’s laughter rang out: "Looks like you can handle this monster now. Let the enemy bear the brunt of the monster’s troubles."
Da Fei asked excitedly: "Spider Queen, can we attack the core now?"
The Spider Queen chuckled lightly: "Actually, we’ve always been able to. I just wanted to see if you could bear the consequences of greed. Don’t forget, I’ve been observing you all along. So, let’s begin now. The control core of Shadow City can be reached through the Vortex Gate in the sewer hall from earlier. I’ll go in and activate the core. Once I activate it, this secret realm will no longer be secret; the enemy will discover our presence and launch a furious assault on us. Your task is to prevent the enemy from entering this Vortex Gate, buying me time."
