A lot of Death Knights charged into the castle, some of them clashing with players. However, most of the Death Knights which had not been attacked by the players were riding their Spectre Skeletal Horses directly towards the territorial hall!
After all, the ultimate goal was not to annihilate each other! One side had to destroy the guild flag in territorial hall, while another side had to defend and protect the flag from being destroyed by monsters within the time limit. Therefore, Zhang Yang’s ultimate goal did not necessarily involve the annihilation of the enemy!
As a result, a lot of Death Knights directly rushed into territorial hall once they entered the castle! The guild flag always was the target of attack within Death Knights’ aggro list, and unless Death Knights were attacked by players, they would ignore everything else and head directly towards the hall!
"Pull back!" Zhang Yang frowned as he shouted.
The purpose of castle gate was to block the enemy from coming into the castle, but, once the castle gate was broken by the enemy then castle gate would lose its purpose! Besides, this was the last wave of monsters attacks, they merely had to survive for another 20 minutes, not wipe out all their attackers!
Lone Desert Smoke’s remaining players retreated inwards one after another, and Zhang Yang stayed back to slow the advance of the Death Knights wave after the tank defense lines were destroyed.
However, not all tanks were like Zhang Yang and Endless Starlight. Lone Desert Smoke’s members were being overwhelmed by the attacks of the Level 79 elite monsters, and a lot of players were either killed or wounded heavily! These Death Knights would also launch {Death Strike} and cause double attacks. Due to the differences in levels, the Death Knights’ attacks were magnified by at least three to four times. As a consequence, one {Death Strike} could actually kill a tank with Level 60 Gray-Silver equipment instantly, which was terrifying!
The number of surviving players kept reducing. Halfway through the retreat, the number of surviving players had been reduced to 2,000 players!
"Get into the territorial hall. We’ll make our stand there!" Zhang Yang roared.
The attacks were violent and ferocious, if it Zhang Yang had not used his [Friendship Jade] to summon Smaug’s phantom, all of them would already have been annihilated by the fifth wave’s boss, Moriarty. They wouldn’t even be around to continue resisting at this point.
Damn it, One Sword Stroke and Liu Wei! Zhang Yang had made up his mind. He too, must get the [Monster Attack Order] and let Imperial Sky taste their own medicine!
Zhang Yang did not believe that One Sword Stroke also had something like the [Friendship Jade]!
‘Ding! Hoarfrost Death Knight Alps has joined the battle!’
It was the 170th minute and the last boss also made his grand entrance at the battlefield!
Zhang Yang and the rest stayed inside the castle. They could not even see what Alps looked like! They were flooded by thousands of Death Knights who struggled to rush into the territorial hall that was located at the highest point of the castle.
Ouch! Ow! Ah!
Along the way, players were constantly whittled into pieces by Death Knights’ rapiers. A lot of players had already died three times, so they had been directly teleported back to White Jade Castle! They could only cheer for the surviving players in guild channel. At this moment, Hundred Shots was too busy to bother about the non-chatting rule.
Pulled back! Pulled back again! We just need to hold up for another 10 minutes!
With the efforts of Zhang Yang and Endless Starlight holding the defense line, nearly a thousand of players eventually made it into the territorial hall. Now, they could only concentrate their fire power on the final bottleneck at the entrance!
The Death Knights kept coming! Luckily, the entrance of territorial hall was narrow, which was easier to defend, compared to castle gate. Zhang Yang and the rest of the players formed a defense line to hold up for a short time!
Due to the huge level restraint, except for Zhang Yang, the rest of the players’ attacks were extremely low, which barely slowed the monsters down! Only Zhang Yang’s occasional usage of {Horizontal Sweep} and {Blast Wave} could cause huge damage to an area of monsters.
Except for Zhang Yang and Endless Starlight, the rest of tanks hardly survived more than a few seconds under Death Knights’ attacks. Players’ screams were uttered from time to time and fall defeated. Some players could still be resurrected, and had come back running, continuing their resistance, while, some players experienced their third deaths and had to return to White Jade Castle!
The tanks at the back rapidly filled in the defense line. They used their own bodies to prevent the monsters from crossing!
Two minutes later, the Death Knights’ finally started to thin out!
"Have we killed them all?"
"We won?"
Sha! Sha! Sha!
Some strange whispers hissed through the air, carrying ancient voices, they could not even understand what they said.
Clop! Clop! Clop!
At this moment, a skeletal war horse with burning flames on its whole body went into the passage of territorial hall. It seemed far heavier than its skeletal frame suggested. Emerald flames burned within its eye sockets, it puffed out fire from time to time.
A Death Knight in full armor sat atop this spectre war horse, its eyes were burning with white gas which turned into frost and fell on the ground around it!
[Hoarfrost Death Knight Alps] (Violet-Platinum, Spectre)
Level: 80
HP: 20,000,000
Defense: 2,400
This was the second Violet-Platinum boss to appear in the game!
"Violet-Platinum boss, we are going to make a big fortune this time!" Fatty Han was drooling as he said.
"Brother Fatty, you must act like a professional, stop drooling!" Endless Starlight said.
"Damn, take a good look at yourself in the mirror first, you aren’t any better!"
Alps did not wait for the players to prepare themselves. His head turned to the guild flag in the territorial hall. "Qiang!" Alps took out his war blade, the war horse under him raised its hooves and dashed towards the guild flag.
Zhang Yang quickly used {Charge} to intercept it and wielded his [Dark Enigmatic Sword] to slash Alps!
Alps uttered a low roar, he flung his war blade and slashed at Zhang Yang’s head.
‘-12,606!’
A huge damage text floated across Zhang Yang head immediately. This damage had almost reduced 40% of Zhang Yang HP!
Zhang Yang wanted to use {Block} but he was more worried about Alps’ {Death Strike}. {Death Strike} was an ulti that could cause double damage! Zhang Yang could not use his battle mount in the territorial hall, and as a result, his masimum HP was only about 29,000. If Zhang Yang received damage from {Death Strike} without a full HP bar, he would definitely be killed instantly!
Alps’ single attack was powerful. However, Alps did not have much AoE skills other than {Dividing Slash}, and as long as Zhang Yang did not stand in front of Alps, he would not receive any damage!
There were a lot of surviving healers in territorial hall, Han Ying Xue, Fantasy Sweetheart and a healing Knight started healing Zhang Yang’s HP. They managed to keep up with the boss.
"Leave the boss be, and go hold up the monsters ahead! We just need to hold up for another six minutes!" Zhang Yang yelled loudly.
Without a doubt, Violet-Platinum bosses were precious. No matter how precious the Violet-Platinum boss was, it still had far less value than a territory!
Everyone circled around the fight, running to form defensive lines.
Four minutes, three minutes, two minutes, one minute!
1,500 players, 1,000 players, 500 players, 100 players!
