Chapter 84

With the last rays of light, Xia Mo stood on the city wall, squinted his eyes, and clearly saw the running movements of the group of people following Xiao Hongchen.

Everyone was very fast, and all of them were high-agility professions, even more agile than the assassins who had come up to grab the battle flag.

It should be Xiao Hongchen's own subordinate.

This was a difficult situation. Xia Mo frowned and hurriedly gave orders over the voicemail: "Enemy attack! Close the city gates! Everyone, return to your positions and guard your respective battle flags. Remember, if you see anyone on the wall, fire immediately!"

They said they would guard the battle flag, but Xia Mo had a feeling that they might not be able to do so this time.

But no matter what, throwing up her hands and admitting defeat has never been her style. Until the last moment, no one has the right to say that they will definitely lose.

The city gate slammed shut. Seeing this, the hunter who had not yet returned from the battlefield and laughed himself into submission, and another hunter, became anxious.

"Mo Se, we haven't come back yet!"

Xia Mo said coldly, "No need to come back. The two of you quickly find cover in the ruins and survey the enemy situation on the ground. Remember, don't give them heads."

After receiving the order, he laughed until his face was paralyzed and said, "Don't worry! We promise to complete the task!"

After saying that, he pulled the newcomer next to him and said, "Come with me, I know a good place to hide."

The two men turned around and disappeared silently from the battlefield in the gradually darkening night.

Qingyao went straight up here, and soon they saw a group of people coming at them aggressively. They estimated that there were at least 15 of them. Not only were they fast, but they were also well-equipped. It seemed that the opponents were determined not to give up until they had skinned Qingyao straight up.

Everyone was so nervous that they dared not breathe. They all gripped their weapons tightly and stared at the city wall, ready to blow down any enemy that appeared at any time.

However, a few seconds later, in the silence, no one around Qingyao noticed that Xiao Hongchen's people had appeared.

The entire city seemed to be in a state of stillness, becoming unsettlingly quiet.

"Are they still climbing up?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Latiao Xiaohuahua shook her head. "Impossible! The last time the assassins attacked, they all climbed up in a few seconds. This time, the people coming over were even faster than the assassins. There's no reason why they haven't climbed up yet..."

"Well... we can't just sit there and wait, can we? Should we send someone to the top of the wall to take a look?"

The city design for guild battles has a special feature. The city wall is divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers. The battle flag is planted on the inner layer. If you want to guard the battle flag, you must stay on the inner wall.

However, the enemy was climbing up along the outer wall. If you wanted to observe the enemy's climbing more carefully, you had to stand on the high platform of the outer city wall.

Normally, the guild would station some people on both the inner and outer city walls to report the enemy situation at any time, but everyone saw what happened when Qingyao went straight up. Even if we counted the five new people who were temporarily added before the war, there were only 28 people participating in the war.

There are 16 battle flags, evenly distributed in the four directions of east, south, west and north. Excluding the two people who are surveying the enemy situation on the ground and laughing so hard that their faces are paralyzed, there are 26 left.

If they can’t even allocate two heads to one battle flag, how can they have extra heads for the outer wall platform?

Thinking that Xiao Hongchen and the others were up to something and that they couldn't afford to delay any longer, the assassin Ye Buyu immediately volunteered, "I'll go."

After saying this, without waiting for Xia Mo's consent, he rushed to the high platform on the outer wall.

However, just as he stood up and before he had time to report, thousands of arrows suddenly shot up from below. He stood there in shock, his body instantly shot into a honeycomb and turned into a beam of light on the spot.

At this moment, everyone finally realized why Xiao Hongchen and the others had not shown up yet, because the latter were all like spiders, lying silently on their outer walls, waiting for an opportunity to attack!

"What a cunning fellow!"

Several close combatants couldn't help but curse, and at the same time, they were so angry that they picked up their weapons and stepped onto the top of the city wall.

Xia Mo heard the noise and turned around to try to stop it, but before he could say anything, the assassin who appeared instantly cut his throat and he fell to the ground.

As mentioned before, there is a 0.5 second buffer time when the assassin is released from the [Invisibility] state.

For Xia Mo, this time is the best counterattack opportunity in PVP. However, it was not her who had her throat cut, but a few ordinary melee fighters. They did not have the reaction speed of Xia Mo.

Not to mention 0.5 seconds, even 1.5 seconds might not be enough to react.

In short, several melee fighters died quickly, directly giving the opponent 40 points.

However, this was not the worst. Because the four of them left their post without permission and left the battle flag alone on the inner wall of the city, Xiao Hongchen's people seized this opportunity and used it as a breakthrough point. They tore through Qingyao's defense in an instant and all emerged from the outer city wall!

The long arrows were like a dragnet, killing all the players defending Qingyao to the east.

The daggers were like flowers scattered from the sky, harvesting all the players in the north with an unstoppable momentum.

There are only four sides in total, namely east, south, west and north, and two of them were lost. Eight battle flags fell into the hands of the enemy in an instant, which made Qingyao so angry that he gritted his teeth!

"Fuck, if they dare to take a flag, I'll fight them!"

"Family members, quickly gather your fire and kill them one by one!"

For a moment, skills intertwined, bombing sounds continued to be heard above the city, and a system prompt suddenly popped up.

[Warning, the city wall has been damaged by 15%, please pay attention to defense]

"Ahhhh Wall! No!"

"Stop! Everyone, please stop. Don't use your skills on the city from a distance. It will destroy our own walls!"

For every 1% damage to the city wall, Xiao Hongchen and his team would get certain points. Seeing the damage value rise to 15%, everyone felt so heartbroken that they felt like they were bleeding!

Points, golden points! They had actually been tricked and easily taken by the other party!

Xiao Quanquan, who was the first to attract everyone's attention, was very upset. Damn it, if he had known that this was a trap set by the other party, he would never have let anyone take action.

Unable to continue shooting themselves in the foot, the members of Qingyaozhishang angrily stopped.

At this moment, several hunters from Xiao Hongchen's side took advantage of their internal strife and stole three battle flags. Then they turned around in unison, each carrying a battle flag and jumped down, heading straight for their own city.

It all happened so quickly that by the time the player guarding the battle flag reacted, the flag was gone.

"Shit, we lost 11 flags in one go! 550 points! My heart aches!" The ripe tomato knelt on the ground with a painful expression.

Seeing him suffocating with heartache, everyone else lowered their heads, each one uglier than the other.

Xia Mo looked expressionlessly at this group of people who had little experience in team battles: "Why, are you so discouraged by just 11 flags? Aren't there still 5 left?"

Everyone looked up and was stunned.

As Xia Mo spoke, she rushed to the platform. Before jumping off, she sternly said, "Never give up until the last moment. This is what I told you many times before the battle. If you don't even have this kind of mentality, I suggest you quit as soon as possible! Don't waste your precious time on this losing battle."

It is normal for people like Qingyao Zhisheng to panic after being caught off guard without any experience in large-scale group battles.

But the fear is that after the panic, the energy that was previously vowed to catch the opponent in one fell swoop will be completely dissipated.

The most feared thing in battle is the collapse of morale. Once this thing is gone, the battle is basically over.

This was the situation Xia Mo least wanted to see, so she reminded everyone again and again before the battle. But who knew that just now, when she scanned the scene, she found that only a few people like Salad with Meat Sauce, He Ye Xiaoxiao, and Godly Wings looked a little better, while the others... looked as if they were doomed to lose.

A loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer. If after saying these words, this group of people still don't cheer up, Xia Mo can only say sorry, Qingyao Zhishang is not suitable for them.

After Xia Mo finished speaking, he jumped off the city wall without looking back.

She activated the skill [Ice-Cold Bloodline] for acceleration and drank a large bottle of purple medicine at the same time. With the double speed, the people who went straight up to Qingyao saw her rushing towards the opposite side like a flash of lightning, fearless.

As if infected by this scene, and as if what Xia Mo said just now had an effect, the ripe tomato on the city wall clenched his fist, with an unusually serious expression.

"Brothers and sisters, I only have one thing to say. Our Qingyaozhishang team has been smeared by the other side for no reason, cursed on the forum, and ridiculed by the world. Can you swallow this?"

Everyone gritted their teeth and lowered their heads, expressing their attitude with silence.

The ripe tomato took a deep breath. "Great! Since you can't swallow it, then cheer up! Damn it!"

"I, Qingyao Zhishang, am not a coward. I will never let those beasts like Zuijiuxiaohongchen look down on me!"

"Isn't it just a battle flag? Family members, they stole ours, so we'll steal theirs too! At worst, one life for another. Even if we die in battle, we'll still pull down their damn flag!"

With Xia Mo's warning in front and ripe tomatoes to boost her morale, Qingyao felt a surge of blood rushing to her chest, washing away her previous discouragement!

"Charge! Warriors of Qingyaozhishang! For honor! Forward!"

The city gates were wide open. No matter they were melee or ranged, damage or support, at this moment, they were like warriors willing to sacrifice their lives. They all chased out with weapons in hand, vowing to take the battle flag back at all costs!

Of course, their passion did not cloud their reason. Inside the city, Qingyao Zhishang still left 5 people to guard the last 5 battle flags, and 3 people to be responsible for the catapults, ready to launch a counterattack against approaching enemies at any time.

On the ground of the two cities, the battle broke out when Xia Mo caught up with Xiao Hongchen and the others.

There were 16 people in total, basically all of them were squishy professions. Xia Mo killed them one by one with one move, and first killed the two elementalists on the periphery.

It’s a pity that when the two died, no battle flag dropped from their bodies, which means that the battle flag was not in their hands.

Xia Mo quietly went around behind a hunter and threw a Star Destroyer at him when he was not prepared.

freeze!

Being frozen in PVP is no less than an early declaration of failure.

Xia Mo swung her staff with her left hand, then with her right hand. In the short 3 seconds when the target was frozen, she completed 3 critical hits!

The hunter fell to the ground and a battle flag exploded.

She bent down and quickly put it into her makeshift backpack, then activated [Ice Bloodline] again, increasing her speed by 10%. She aimed at a new target and sprinted forward.

Seeing her kill three people in a row, the players of Xiao Hongchen all felt nervous.

Seeing that she was about to catch up, one of the small groups immediately dispersed on the spot!

"Brother Cao, you don't have a battle flag on you, so go and attract her! Hold her for as many seconds as you can, thank you for your hard work!"

The assassin named Cao Ge suddenly took a step forward and deliberately stopped for 1 second.

Even though it's only 1 second, in the hands of an expert it's enough to kill half of his health. As long as the opponent is not stupid, he will definitely catch up with him and take his life in the first place.

Anyway, he's dead, and the battle flag isn't on him. The main thing is to create opportunities for other teammates to return to the city, so...

Feeling the footsteps of the person behind him getting closer and closer, Brother Cao was secretly happy, great, he is catching up!

He tilted his head and looked back sideways.

The joy in the corner of my eyes suddenly froze at this moment.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the female official give him a ghostly smile. The next second, she reversed her steps, as if she were stepping on a Hot Wheels. Almost in an instant, she brushed past his shoulder and quickly turned towards a tributary nearby.

What's going on?! He hadn't expected the other party to play by their own rules. Startled, Cao Ge stopped and turned around.

Wait, that tributary, that’s the direction his teammates carrying three battle flags are heading!
