Chapter 147
The player army is basically composed of agents from different civilizations. Even those operating on Blue Star are good at reconnaissance, but they definitely do not lack sufficient combat skills.
From the moment night fell, any movement in Baiye Town certainly could not escape the eyes of the relevant investigators.
There were already players with visual talents in real life who used the [Eagle Eye] talent to see the scene of White Night Town from a distance during this battle and reported it to the commanders in the rear.
"The person on the city wall... is Bai Ye, and she is also a black-robed assassin."
In addition to the main commander in the game, there is also an intelligence think tank on standby on the Star Network to analyze battlefield information.
When the think tank saw a man in a black robe appear on the city wall, they quickly obtained corresponding intelligence.
The Star Alliance launched an investigation into Ye Bai, and the fact that the Makul Group kidnapped Ye Bai on Blue Star came to light. The assassin camp, the mysterious assassin boss active in Tut City, and the black-robed assassin who had been active near White Night Town for a while... were all connected.
There is no doubt that Bai Ye and Ye Bai have a close connection. The only thing that the Star Alliance is not sure about at the moment is whether Bai Ye and Ye Bai are two people or one person, as well as the details and causes of the entire abnormal tsunami incident of the giant starfish.
But this did not prevent the think tanks behind the battle from providing intelligence on Bai Ye:
"According to the intelligence analysis we've obtained so far, the White Night Assassin's chosen target is the Divine Blood, meaning the player camp. The assassin's characteristics are..."
"Bai Ye's level is estimated to be over 50. The quest was triggered when she killed the Blood River BOSS in Landu City. Because the battle between the two sides would kill other players instantly, it is impossible to calculate her detailed personal attributes."
"It is known that Bai Ye is a hidden magician, mastering a large number of different spells. The most powerful one is a lightning spell with a range, which can cause severe damage to the environment and creatures within a hundred meters..."
Every piece of information and inference about Bai Ye was conveyed in detail to the commanders of the player army.
According to comprehensive information analysis, all NPCs in Baiye Town did not take any action. It seemed that Baiye wanted to use the lightning he had used before to deal with them, and by the way, change to the assassin suit to complete the spoils harvest.
But the commanders were hesitant because the thunder spell would indiscriminately damage buildings. Was Bai Ye planning to destroy herself and the whole city and not give up her territory?
"Stay where you are."
The commanders, finding things strange, issued an order and decided to wait and see what happened.
The army of players surrounding Baiye Town obeyed orders, but Baiye Town’s enemies tonight were not limited to them, there was also a siege BOSS whose territory had been upgraded twice.
The fluorescent spores emitted by the Tree of Creation permeated the entire territory, lighting up the extremely quiet town.
The player army has received orders and is ready to split up and make way for the monsters attacking White Night Town.
“Boom!”
A loud thunderclap was heard in the cloudless night, leaving a golden crack in the night sky near Baiye Town. After the golden crack appeared, it did not slowly dissipate, but solidified in the sky.
The next moment, accompanied by the sound of flapping wings, more than ten creatures with yellow-brown feathers and white plumes flew out from the crack with sharp cries.
[Griffin] Elite monster, individual level 55-60.
“Boom!”
Immediately afterwards, another blue lightning fell, tearing open another space crack.
A hair-raising sound of crawling arthropods could be heard from the cracks, and giant scorpions, each one meter long, crawled out from inside. The tail of each elemental scorpion shone with a different elemental light, emitting a heart-pounding power.
[Elemental Scorpion] Elite monster, individual level 50-55.
“Boom!”
The third thunderbolt was red, representing the Chaos faction.
A long, sharp horn poked out from the crack first.
"hold head high……"
Then, accompanied by a long roar, a kodo beast with a body more than 20 meters long, a head like a rhinoceros, a big mouth, and a long tail passed through the crack inch by inch and came into this world.
[Kodo] BOSS monster, level 60.
Two groups of elite monsters, plus a level 60 third-order BOSS, this is the test that Baiye Town faces when it goes directly from level 5 territory to level 7!
When a territory enters the city level, monsters of the corresponding faction style will appear based on the extraordinary knowledge currently possessed by the territory. Moreover, these monsters will not come from the surrounding areas of the territory as they do when the town-level territory is upgraded, but will appear directly by tearing through space.
Seeing this scene, the players in the team couldn't control the commotion.
This kind of appearance and the high-level monsters that had never been seen before once again refreshed their cognition.
"Is this how monsters appear when a territory is upgraded from level five to level six?" Bai Yezhen had always been ahead of all the territories. This scene immediately attracted a lot of attention. Someone immediately went offline and leaked the news to the think tank, asking the territories that were originally planning to upgrade in the near future to be prepared.
And more people stared intently at Baiye Town, at Baiye standing alone on the city wall——
The siege monsters appeared directly around Baiye Town through the space cracks, much closer than the encirclement of the player army. It can be said that it was too late for Baiye to organize the territory warriors to fight at this time.
In this situation, how should Bai Ye deal with it alone?
If it weren't for the lingering impression of Bai Ye's mysterious power, everyone would have called him arrogant. Their mood at this moment was indescribable. They were looking forward to seeing a car rollover, but also had a lingering worry that "I won't really win."
"Boom..."
The ground in Baiye Town ahead was shaking, monsters were roaring, and monsters whose levels exceeded those of all the players' armies all rushed towards Baiye on the city wall.
During the territory upgrade, siege monsters will be attracted to the creatures in the territory first. Now everyone in Baiye Town is in the building, and Baiye is the only creature active outside. In this special scenario, there is no need to lure monsters alone, and all monsters rushed towards her at the first time.
The fastest of all is the Griffin in the sky.
More than ten griffins flapped their wings and swooped down towards Bai Ye, ready to tear the enemy apart with their thick claws, which is a major attack method of this high-level flying creature.
The scout used the [Eagle Eye] ability to see that the weapon in Bai Ye's hand was no longer the familiar longsword, but a spell book commonly used by magic professions.
“Clatter…”
The black pages of the book flipped, which was the performance of the magic profession releasing skills.
“Gah!!!!!”
The next moment, the griffins swooping in the sky screamed, and then the sound stopped abruptly.
There was no time for casting spells or chanting. A pale beam of light suddenly shot out from Bai Ye, whose black robe was fluttering, and pierced through four or five griffins that were rushing towards him at once.
“Knock, knock, knock…”
Under the three consecutive instantaneous second-level undead magic [Death Ray], more than ten griffins above level 55 were killed instantly at the first sight.
"How is it possible...she didn't use the magic scroll?!"
"No……"
"Contact the think tank and quickly assess Bai Ye's attributes..."
Of course, the players had never seen a griffin and did not know its level, but the monsters in the Ten Thousand Worlds had much more health than the players, and the instant kill alone was enough to show Bai Ye's damage.
Dealing with the griffins is just the beginning.
When the battle began, Bai Ye on the city wall kept flipping the spellbook in his hand.
There were at least more than a hundred densely packed elemental scorpions, climbing up the city wall one on top of the other. Their tails were brewing elemental poisons, and once attacked by them, one would suffer some kind of continuous elemental damage.
But after dealing with the griffin, a series of crimson arcs of light flew out from Bai Ye's body.
[Death Scythe] dances and circles among the elemental scorpions. During the spell's duration, each arc of light activity can directly take the life of a giant scorpion.
In the blink of an eye, a thick layer of elemental scorpion corpses piled up under the city wall.
It is only a matter of time before the entire harvest is completed.
Then, what about the BOSS?
The army of players turned their hopes to the last Kodo beast of unusual size.
The kodo beast was rushing towards the city wall. This giant beast had a sturdy body, like a steel chariot. Every step it took could cause the ground to shake. The elemental scorpions it encountered along the way were unable to dodge in time and were directly crushed by it, exploding into a ball of juice containing elemental power.
Some of the elemental scorpions that were attacked also waved their tails and used their skills towards the Kodo Beast, but when they hit the Kodo Beast's thick skin, they couldn't even break its skin.
Even if a Tier 3 BOSS is only Level 60, it is completely different from a Tier 2 creature.
The kodo beast rushed towards the city wall where Bai Ye was. The huge impact force would definitely knock down the entire section of the city wall.
However, in response, Bai Ye stretched out a pale and bluish finger and pointed at the Kodo beast.
The scout strained his eyesight and could barely see a wisp of smoke-like gray mist fly out from her fingers and silently sink into the kodo beast.
The high-level undead spell [Mind Plague] hit the Kodo beast with an alarming health bar, ignoring its specific health value and causing it to drop at a rate of 10% per second.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
In the eyes of all the players, what they saw was that the Kodo's sprint pace gradually slowed down. When it finally arrived at the foot of the city wall, trampling on the corpses of a large number of elemental beetles, it took exactly ten seconds.
"boom……"
The huge corpse of the kodo beast fell on the city wall at Bai Ye's feet.
The whole place fell silent again, whether it was Baiye Town or the army of players outside.
Before this scene actually happened, no one would have thought that this sudden monster attack would last less than ten minutes from start to finish! Even the nearby beasts didn't have time to arrive!
But compared to the shocked individual players, the commanders quickly regained their composure. The think tank had fully recorded the strength displayed by Bai Ye in this battle. Bai Ye was very strong, so strong that it was beyond everyone's expectations.
However, the outcome of a war is not determined by the strength of an individual. Humans with thoughts are different from monsters that attack Bai Ye mindlessly. With so many players, as long as a part of the suicide squad is sent to hold Bai Ye back with their lives, the others can complete the attack on Bai Ye Town.
"Eastern District Team Five, stand by...Reconnaissance Team, go around to the south..."
The commanders began to issue orders to the squad leaders in each area through telepathic links. Now was the time to demonstrate the art of command.
"Wait... W-What is that?!"
Just as the player army began to move according to the commanders' orders, something strange happened in Baiye Town.
Ye Bai leveled up, and the Codex of Death in his hand kept flipping, his mana was constantly being consumed, and he released one of the skills of this artifact.
[Servant Resurrection]: Consumes one's own psychic energy and health points to convert a creature's corpse into an undead servant. The conversion cost is related to the creature's level difference, and the maximum level difference is 20 levels.
Waves of soul power surged and poured into the monster corpses around Ye Bai.
"boom……"
Clusters of dim green flames lit up in the eyes of these corpses. These elites and bosses who were killed by Ye Bai just a moment ago stood up from the ground stiffly, slowly and firmly.
Players in the game are called the Fourth Calamity because of their "immortal" nature. In the universe, there is also another kind of undead creature, and it is also called the Calamity.
Undead Scourge.
"Da..." Ye Bai jumped down from the city wall. Under the protection of the newly born undead army, he cast his gaze with dancing soul flames at the player legion in front of him.
It's time to let the currently ignorant players see the "world" from the artifact.
