Chapter 277: The Defense Event Begins

Time passed quickly. It was already the day of the event.

When Lorne had issued the city defense mission, the players had been cursing crazily, criticizing him for asking the players for help but still wanting to collect 1 gold coin.

But now, it seemed that such criticism was pointless.

This was because when the city defense mission started, the number of players who participated had already reached 271,000.

In the entire Iron Skull City, more than twenty large guilds had basically chosen to participate in the event. Moreover, basically all of them were long-range professional players. Clearly, they had all seen the key point of this siege. It was that the city wall was tall enough to ensure the safety of everyone and resist the monsters.

When the scene arrived at the Cold Desolate Dragon City, one could see that the city walls on both sides were filled with people. They were all carrying bows and arrows, holding magic staffs, and waiting for the impending battle.

On a circular platform in the Cold Desolate Dragon City, countless players gathered. Their eyes looked at the distant city wall, wanting to know the situation at the front line of the battlefield.

These people were all solo players who had not chosen to participate in the battle. Because they were not qualified to participate, they could not climb up the city wall, so they could only squeeze on this circular landing platform and stare ahead.

Of course, most players still stayed in the city or in the wilderness. They used the live-stream channel of “Divine Realm” to watch the battle at the front line.

“Dear viewers, after two days of tense waiting, the siege war has finally begun!”

“The difficulty of this siege is SSSSS-rank, the highest-level mission. Cold Desolate Dragon City, who does not have any defense weapons, cannot rely on the defense of the city to defeat this group of ferocious monsters. According to what I know, Tyrant’s ‘Above the Clouds’ Guild only has him as a player, but even so, Tyrant still issued a special announcement of 1 gold coin signing up two days ago. Does he really have the confidence to win?”

“Perhaps. Although I don’t know if Tyrant really has the confidence to defeat his opponent alone, I know that the players of Iron Skull City are united. In order to protect this hard-earned player city, they resolutely joined the battle.”

“Even I, Little Orange, can feel my blood boiling. Now, I don’t want to determine the result. As a player, I only want to fight alongside everyone. No matter what the final result is, I will be proud of today’s battle!”

“The battle is about to begin. Please follow Little Orange and witness the first hot-blooded battle between the players since the opening of the Divine Realm!”

Beautiful female streamer Little Orange mixed into the battle team and began to live stream the entire scene.

It could be seen that the number of people in the live-stream was very terrifying. Almost every minute, it was increasing by hundreds of thousands. Before the battle live-stream began, there were already 100 million viewers paying attention in real time.

It was normal for such a situation to occur. After all, Cold Desolate Dragon City was the first player city and was a virtual city judged by the various financial institutions to have a potential of 10 billion. Now, be it the players or the audience in reality, they were all focused on this battle.

“Dear viewers, we have a live streamer who has already seen the army of monsters in the forest ahead. We will now receive the scene over there in the live-stream.”

Little Orange quickly switched the live stream to a shared view.

This was a scene transmitted from the Doomsday Forest in the northwest. In the scene, countless monsters were attacking in the direction of the Cold Desolate Dragon City.

Among these monsters were rotting spiders, demonized cannibals, gravediggers, gluttonous ghosts, demonized apes, violent demon wolves, rotting corpses…

These monsters mixed together and covered the sky.

Especially when the view from above appeared, the audience could not help but gulp.

“Tyrant is really unlucky.”

“There are probably more than a million monsters, and their quality is very high!”

“I think it can’t be defended. The impact of a million monsters is like a flood. This is not something that can be blocked by one person’s strength.”

“Not necessarily. After all, with such a high city wall and the help of more than 200,000 high-level players, it should not be defeated.”

In the live-stream, the players discussed.

The scene of more than a million monsters gathered was too visual for ordinary players like them.

Most people even thought that the defense of the Cold Desolate Dragon City would instantly collapse.

While everyone was discussing, the scene in the live-stream began to tremble.

Boom!

Boom!!!

Boom!!!

A deafening roar sounded. At the same time, the ground trembled. Even the player who was sharing the scene could not stabilize his body.

At this moment, all the audience’s eyes were fixed on the screen.

An incomparably huge stone pillar blocked the entire scene. Then, it slowly raised and uprooted the mountain and toppled the tree.

After the other party walked away, everyone saw his full appearance.

It was a huge monster that was 50 meters tall. Its entire body was made of rocks, and there were even countless lush trees growing on it. As it walked, the forest trembled and the mountains shook.

Any player who had been in the ruins of the war knew this huge guy. It was the Mountain Giant King who had launched the entire siege!

Although its main body was a mountain, it was actually a rock creature, and it was the most powerful Mountain Giant among them. This monster had a huge body, and because it was a rock, its resistance was extremely high. Even Bosses of the same level could not break through its defense.

“Roar!”

The Mountain Giant King let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth. Immediately, all the monsters became even more excited. They quickened their steps and began to advance crazily.

“It’s over, it’s over. There’s no hope left.”

“My god, this Mountain Giant King is too huge!”

“Such a huge body can probably smash the city wall of Cold Desolate Dragon City into pieces…”

“Tyrant is really in big trouble now. If things go wrong, all his investments in the Cold Desolate Dragon City will be destroyed today!”

“He deserves it! This is retribution. This kind of black-hearted businessman should be taught a lesson!”

“That’s right. Seeing Tyrant being taught a lesson makes me feel good!”

“…”
