Chapter 722: Fierce Battle on the Defense Line

"Then at least let us two go to help you?" The lamp god pointed at the blood god.

Other ordinary masters can't go because of their low star rating and can't stand on that battlefield, but he and the blood god are real gods, and they won't be killed instantly there.

"You can't leave. You two are the only two gods besides me. If the three of us disappear at the same time, the morale of the army will be unstable." Mu You shook his head.

The attack targets of the God Devouring Beast are actually five places. Sunset City and Order City are adjacent and can be regarded as one city, which will be defended by the dragon clan.

Among the other four cities, Dawn City and Daybreak City are tentatively planned to be defended by Tianlang and Muro, each leading one million savages.

As for the remaining Rising Sun City and Dusk City, humans can only defend them.

This time, the enemy dispatched a total of 27 gods, almost all the gods in the God Devouring Beast army who had time to reach the front line.

This is also due to the fact that the enemy is in a hurry to start the war and can't wait for more gods to arrive. Otherwise, if the enemy is given another month or two to gather, the gods gathered by the enemy will easily exceed 100!

Among these 27 gods, more than half are concentrated around Dawn and Dawn City, which will be the enemy's main attack direction. These two cities are under the greatest pressure, which is why the savages are arranged to help defend these two cities.

The enemy gods in Rising Sun and Dusk City are the least, and the enemy only arranges three gods to lead the army in each city, so the defense pressure is relatively minimal. But even so, it is impossible to defend without the real gods on the scene.

In addition, there is another important reason: the divine power of the Blood God and the Lamp God is a group gain type. Only in large-scale group battles can their divine power be brought to the extreme. The two of them don't even have to do anything on the battlefield. Just standing in the team, the two divine power auras provided are enough to provide great help to their side.

Lin Xue is the opposite. Her power of the God of Death is of the assassin type, suitable for one-on-one combat. It is difficult for her to play a big role on the battlefield where two armies are fighting.

After thinking carefully about the reasons put forward by Mu You, the lamp god found that he could not refute them, and finally had to agree.

While all the players on the earth were hastily preparing for the upcoming war, the God Devourer was also busy.

The giant army gathered outside the five sky cities became denser at a speed visible to the naked eye. A strong divine aura descended one after another, and the aura easily swept through the city, imprinted in the game text of every player in the city. These auras that were obviously different from ordinary people, each of which represented the arrival of a god.

The gods who kept descending on the opposite side made the players, who were originally in high spirits because of the upcoming war, become a little nervous.

Many people were very confident about this battle, because most people didn't know the strength comparison between the enemy and us. They just believed that if they followed the organization's arrangement and did their part, they could win this battle as easily as last time, and it was even a good opportunity for a battle.

Until now, seeing the rapid increase of the enemy's troops, especially the high-end combat power, there was a huge gap between the two sides, and many people really felt the pressure of the war.

Fortunately, according to the latest investigation, the increase of the enemy's troops has always been in line with the future forecast provided by Mu You, which made many senior commanders feel relieved.

They deployed their troops according to the intelligence provided by Mu You from the beginning. If the enemy did not follow the forecast, they would be at a loss.

As both sides were sharpening their knives, three days passed in a flash.

According to the forecast, the enemy's attack will begin in the next five hours.

...

Late at night, on Earth, in K City, at Mu You's home, a group of people were ready to set off.

Mu You, Lin Xue, and the No. 1 and No. 2 clones are about to go to the Star Spirit Realm and fly to Gaotian on the Bitter Garden.

Xiaoya, the lamp god, the blood god and others have already rushed to Gaotian in advance. According to Ava's arrangement, they are stationed at their respective defense lines and are ready to defend the city.

Only Linglong and Mianmian are left at home, as well as their daughter.

Lin Xue looked at her daughter in her arms, kissed her forehead with her lips, and her eyes were full of love.

"I'm sorry that you were born in such a war-torn era... But your parents will create a future for you..."

The daughter, who was not yet a month old, naturally didn't understand these words. She tilted her head innocently and still laughed.

Lin Xue exhaled, handed the baby to Linglong, held the death sickle by the wall, and walked back to Mu You.

"I'll leave the family affairs to you." Mu You looked at Linglong and said.

"Don't worry." Linglong hugged Mu Ling and nodded.

The whole family went out to fight, so an adult had to stay at home to guard the place. Linglong knew that she was not capable of following Muyou and the others to the enemy's lair, so she took the initiative to take on the job of guarding the house. Of course, she would also participate in the defense of the city remotely through the game character.

In such a war that concerns the fate of the race, no high-end human combat power can be absent at will.

Muyou and Lin Xue looked at each other, and turned away with the two clones.

Watching the backs of the two disappearing in the night, the baby in Linglong's arms, blinking his big eyes, seemed to feel the solemn atmosphere before the war, and suddenly burst into tears.

The daughter cried loudly, looking in the direction where her parents disappeared, waving her two little hands, as if trying to break free from Linglong's arms and chase the two back.

"Don't worry little ones, they will come back..."

Linglong comforted her softly, and gently tapped the baby's forehead with the fingers of her right hand, and the halo of magic surged quietly.

"If you feel uneasy, just go to sleep. When you wake up, you can see them again..."

Under the influence of the sleeping spell, the baby's crying gradually stopped. He closed his eyes in Linglong's arms, with tears at the corners of his eyes, curled up his limbs and fell into a deep sleep...

…

High Sky World, Auroville City.

As dawn comes, the dim sky gradually lights up, the white fish belly on the horizon spreads rapidly, and the early morning light envelopes the earth.

Along the periphery of Dawn City, countless players have gathered, relying on city walls and various war buildings to form hundreds of specific defense lines. Deep trenches and ravines have also been laid out in front of each defense line, all using magic and Divine magic has been reinforced.

The ground suddenly shook, as if some kind of wild beasts were happening in the distance, causing the entire Sky City to tremble slightly.

Many players were frightened when they saw the text prompt. Those who had remote detection props hurriedly leaned out of the city wall and looked outside.

At the end of the field of vision, at the horizon of the sky, huge figures suddenly appeared through the jungle and rushed towards the city.

And such a scene happened near five sky cities at the same time.

The God-devouring Beast indeed launched an attack, and the time was exactly as Mu You predicted!

However, the first batch of people who rushed over were not giants, but a row of giant war elephants with antlers. Each one was controlled by several giants, and they strode toward the city.

And behind these giant elephants is the real army of God-devouring beasts.

The densely packed giants formed a gray black line on the horizon, charging towards them with flying dust.

Many players who observed the enemy scene in advance could not help but exclaim. Even through the text, they could feel the pressure of all things rushing forward.

Not to mention ordinary players, even some commanders couldn't help but panic at this time, because this scene was not mentioned in the intelligence from their superiors.

The future intelligence provided by Mu You only reaches the moment when the giants launch a collective attack. As for the specific attack routine, Mu You cannot predict it, because the battlefield here is not his future perspective and he cannot see it.

Fortunately, the people who could serve as commanders at this time were not ordinary people. They quickly accepted this change and quickly made adjustments.

"Calm down everyone!"

"Everyone stick to their position and don't run around."

"Open all the magic and aura magic, so that the aura can cover as many companions as possible."

"Pay attention to cooperation. Everyone takes care of the area they are responsible for, and do not interfere in the battle of other lines of defense."

"Remember, do not perform any condensation behavior before the battle is over. All trophies will be recovered by dedicated personnel. As for kills and combat achievements, real-time statistics will be automatically calculated in the respective games, and the trophies will be distributed uniformly after the war..."

"Repeat, don't leave the defense line casually for petty gains, cherish the number of deaths you have..."

…

Continuous texts are sent from the hands of the commanders in each area and accurately conveyed to all players.

Under this bombardment of comfort, everyone's nervousness was finally relieved.

At this time, the first wave of enemy impact has arrived.

The distance of tens of thousands of meters only takes half a minute for the giant beast's attack speed.

Soon, the vanguard war elephant army of the God-devouring Beasts had approached the defense lines in various places, and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the defensive buildings on the periphery of the city.

"attack!"

Following the instructions from the human side, the players immediately began to fight back.

Magic light bullets and divine brilliance filled the sky, instantly lighting up the surroundings of the five cities.

The players all released the long-range spells they had prepared for a long time. When the magic spells were used up, they threw away the magic spells. After the magic spells were used up, they retreated and replaced with a group of alternates. In short, the firepower could not stop.

Fortunately, under the previous magic erosion plan, the areas around several sky cities are now covered with magic.

At this moment, they are fighting according to the rules of the Star Spirit World. They have the home field advantage. Not only can magic be used freely, but the star-level suppression has also disappeared with the change of rules, greatly reducing the distance between the overall players and the God-Eating Beast Army. the gap between.

The one billion players who can follow Sky City to Gaotian, no matter how unbearable they are, have at least been in Gaotian for a while, and they still have experience in besieging and killing high-star creatures.

After the initial panic, the players quickly calmed down.

The reason why the giants' army looks so terrifying is mainly because they are so large that they appear extremely oppressive.

In fact, compared to the number of people, the fool is the one who is crushed: they have one billion people, while the enemy only has about 50 million, and each city is only 10 million. Calculated in proportion, as long as they have an average of 20 people Kill a giant and you will gain the ultimate victory!

In addition, the Fool also has the biggest advantage, that is, he does not need to be afraid of death, because the base is behind him, and if he dies, he can be resurrected on the spot and fight again.

Even if you die continuously, you will lose at most some experience and drop some stars, but at least your life will not be in danger. This alone greatly reduces the difficulty for players to participate in the war.

Otherwise, if these ordinary people who have lived in peacetime for a long time and have hardly seen blood are allowed to go to a real battlefield, I am afraid that they will be frightened and flee en masse as soon as the war starts.

The first wave of giant elephants charged quickly. After causing a wave of riots, the giant elephants in each city were successfully dealt with by the players.

And after the giant beasts, there was the real army of god-eating beasts.

Countless fully armed giants roared and charged. No matter their momentum or strength, they were much more terrifying than the war elephants just now.

After all, war elephants only know how to rush around and move in a very regular manner, so most players just need to pay attention and there will not be too much risk.

But real giants are different. The enemy will not have any mercy. As soon as they enter the battlefield, they will consciously attack the location where players gather.

The proportion of players killed suddenly began to soar.

There is no way. The size difference between humans and giants is too big. Even without star-level suppression, it is not so easy to deal with the physical volume suppression alone. Players without god skins can't stand in front of real giant soldiers. Often a large number of them die.

At this time, foreign aid will appear.

In Dawn City and Daybreak City, the savages who had been stationed around the front line saw the giants rushing over and rushed out on all fours. With their savage bodies, they resisted the magic thrown by the giants and knocked the giants away or overturned them one by one.

The scene seemed to have returned to the period of the battle between the gods and the savages. The difference was that this time the savages were not fighting alone, and there was a helper, the Fool, in the back.

The players were really not good at resisting damage, but in terms of output, harassment and head-grabbing, the players seemed to have found their old profession and were very skilled.

The savages were far less numerous than the giants, but they soon found that whenever their lives were in danger or they were entangled by some annoying control magic, there would always be a healing glow around them at the first time, and then they would be like eating fairy beans, and their status would be full in an instant, and they would be full of energy again.

After the actual fight, the players soon found that what they really needed to fight against the God Devourer was actually a reliable meat shield.

In Dawn City and Daybreak City, the savages played this role.

In Sunset City on the other side, the dragons entered the battlefield. The giant dragons relied on their strong bodies to withstand the attacks of the giants.

The defense lines of these three cities are currently very stable.

As for the remaining two cities, the Blood God personally sat in the Rising Sun City. In addition, there were the 200,000 Protoss heroes who had been summoned before. Although the number was a little small, these heroes all had the effect of restraining the vengeful spirits of the Devouring God Beast. They fought fearlessly and the defense line could be temporarily stabilized.

The last city was really in trouble.

According to intelligence, the enemies around Dusk City were the worst in both quantity and quality, and it should have been the defense zone with the least pressure.

The problem here was that there was no external aid available, and as compensation, almost all the human God Skin owners, about 350,000 people, and the remaining seven Sky City Lords were all mobilized to Dusk City.

But even so, the defense line still couldn't bear the pressure. Since the beginning of the war, it has been in a state of slow retreat.

"Hold on!"

"Hold on, the dawn of victory is just ahead!"

...

The lamp god shouted in the back with full energy, and at the same time secretly pushed the power of miracle to the limit, assisting the frontline soldiers as much as possible.

However, even though he shouted, he actually didn't believe in the dawn of victory. According to the current situation, how long can they hold on? A day? Or a few hours?

Before the war, the lamp god had made psychological preparations as much as possible, but the actual intensity of the war was still far beyond his imagination.

Now he can only silently pray that Mu You's side will end as soon as possible, otherwise he will probably be the first to be breached... (End of this chapter)
