Once Selena, the backbone, retreats, players will naturally have to face Ankos's butcher knife. At this stage, no one can defend against the god-level boss, and the only way is to retreat!
The big undead boss broke the void with a sword and created a portal. Suddenly, countless undead armies surged out and launched a fierce charge towards the players!
Now with Ankos in charge, the players were no match for him. As the Sword of Destruction danced, a large number of players within 500 meters died! With such a huge disparity in power, the undead quickly occupied Soran's castle!
Fortunately, Zhang Yang and his men retreated to Morning Town in time before the undead destroyed the portal, and used it as a base to continue to hold on. However, because Selina was "seriously injured" and had returned to White Jade City to recuperate, and most of the White Jade Empire's army was also transferred back to protect the queen, the fall of Morning Town was inevitable! [
This is required by the plot. If they can't even kill their way into the region, what kind of undead invasion is this!
After Soran Castle, Aganlo Fortress, Xinkoya Town, and White Horse Bay also fell one after another and became the strongholds of the undead. After that, the undead army continued to advance and invaded the gateway territories of the eight major regions. Wherever the resistance was strong, Ankos would tear open the void and come, instantly suppressing the whole scene. The arrogance of the god-level boss was rampant!
The fall of the portal territories of the eight regions was naturally inevitable, and the players once again retreated to the main city of their own region. However, Ankos was too powerful and captured 56 of the 64 main cities one after another, leaving only one main city in each region to survive!
At this point, the Undead Invasion version has been fully launched, and now it depends on how the players recover the lost ground!
Ankos is located in one of the four high-level territories, and the exact location changes with time. Unless Ankos is killed, any main city or territory cannot be taken back!
After losing all the territories in the Realm of Chaos, it was as if we had returned to the prehistoric era. Especially for players above level 100 who wanted to go out to level up, they had to fly from the main city to the Ten Desolate Sea first, and then pass through the portal there to enter the Realm of Chaos!
Players above level 150 are in even worse trouble. Even if they enter the realm of chaos, they still have to fly for a very long time before they can reach the corresponding leveling area!
Of course, the system would not do such a thing. The monsters occupying the main city and territory were all between level 100 and 180, which could be used by all high-level players to sharpen their knives. However, compared to the number of players, these monsters were too few to count. In order to seize the leveling area, countless melees broke out during this period.
Everyone is eager to recapture the main city and territory. After being beaten so badly by the undead, most people have given up the thought of getting artifacts and just hope to return to the previous leveling environment!
This is the Dark Ages!
However, the Heavenly Saint-level bosses in each major city will only launch a counterattack once every one month of game time. The counterattacks in the eight regions are staggered, starting with the first region where the main city was captured. Each region has three days to attack. If the battle lasts more than three days, regardless of whether the battle is over or not, the enemy will be automatically teleported out of the battle area.
As of now, the first region to launch a counterattack in a month is South America, followed by Australia, Europe, North America, Africa, Japan and South Korea, India, and finally China. Judging from the performance of the main city boss in the first battle, even if it is strengthened by 10%, it is impossible for Ankos to be a match - Serena is stronger than the average Heavenly Saint-level boss, but there is only one of her!
Therefore, in the previous life, I failed seven times before I finally killed Ankos. The strength of the god-level boss is there, and the god-level suit is not so easy to get! Moreover, after defeating the boss, all players who participated in the battle will receive a level 2 reward and the title of "Continental Hero", which is a privilege that only one region can enjoy!
Because he knew that he would fail the first time, Zhang Yang did not use up his military merits, but continued to save them. During the one-month preparation period, the NPCs in the main city would continue to issue tasks to earn military merits, and after the first war, everyone understood the importance of military merits.
The NPCs hired by the military merit not only provide players with more thugs - if that were the only thing, then the military merit would have no meaning at all. Under Ankos's Sword of Destruction, it would just be restoring the boss' health in vain!
NPC mercenaries can share the damage suffered by players! The percentage is not much, only 1%, but players can increase this value by accumulating numbers. (《文学网7*) When the number of NPCs exceeds 99, the player will only receive 1% of the damage, and the remaining 99% of the damage will be shared by all NPCs!
However, ordinary NPC soldiers do not have this function, but it is a special skill that only elite NPCs have.
Elite NPCs are worth 100 military merits each, so theoretically, to reach the upper limit of damage sharing, 9,900 military merits are needed! Zhang Yang only has 3,890 military merits now, so he can only hire 38 elite NPCs to share 38% of the damage, which is still not enough!
These elite NPCs are actually like blood bottles. When you go to fight Ankos in the future, these NPCs don't need to go into battle, but can stay in the rear. Because the effective distance of the "Life Link" skill is 1,000 meters, these NPCs can live very comfortably. 1% of the blood loss is only more than 10,000 damage. The treatment in the rear only needs to be level 100, with 99 vertical, to refresh the health of these NPCs. [
But these military merits were earned by Zhang Yang with great effort. Although he can still earn military merits now, the efficiency cannot be compared with the 1,000 or 500 merits he was given when there were main quests before. Therefore, Zhang Yang did not plan to use military merits in this first counterattack, but to continue to save them!
You have to know that even if you can knock down the boss, if the NPC's output accounts for more than 50%, you must cause considerable damage to be eligible to obtain the loot. Unlike when the player fights the boss, you only need to deal damage once to start the fight.
Therefore, the player must first live long enough to cause considerable damage, and secondly, must persist in living to the end of the battle to ensure that he is not making wedding dresses for others!
The value of military merit has finally been fully demonstrated!
Sun Xinyu and the others also did not use up their military merits under Zhang Yang's suggestion, and they were also continuing to accumulate military merits like him. Although there were only some military merit tasks that only earned 1 or 2 points by running around, there was no other way, and they had to accept them no matter how little military merit they had!
"Ding! You have completed the mission: Detect the enemy situation, and obtained 1 million experience points and 5 military merits."
Zhang Yang sighed. His military merits were increasing so slowly. He turned his gaze to Gulager and said, "Goblin, do you have any more difficult tasks? The tasks you gave me before were too unchallenging!"
"Hey, human, don't be so proud!" The green guy immediately jumped up, "Well, if you can bring some powerful allies to the alliance, I will give you a huge reward!"
"Ding! Gulag has issued you a hidden mission: Find reinforcements. Do you want to accept it?"
Wow, this can also create a hidden task!
Zhang Yang quickly nodded and accepted the task, then immediately opened the task list to check.
[Search for reinforcements] (Mission difficulty: Uncertain)
Mission description: Listen, the Alliance is in a predicament right now. The undead are too powerful. All the creatures on the continent are facing a catastrophe. We must unite all the forces that can be united and find all the help that can be found! Warriors, find helpers for the Alliance as much as possible!
Completion: Special Assessment
Limited number of people: 1 person
Mission Rewards: Different military merits will be awarded depending on the helpers found
The difficulty of this task is indeed difficult to determine, because you can either look for an ordinary NPC or a Saint-level boss, and the military merits given naturally cannot be generalized!
However, if he wanted to find helpers... Zhang Yang's brain immediately started to work, and the names of the NPCs jumped into his mind one by one.
Malinda Forest Song!
A professional captive, the new Moon Priestess of the Elves! She inherited the throne of the Moon Priestess, so there is no way she is still so weak! After all, she is the leader of the Elves, so she must be at the Heavenly Saint level!
He has a true recovery technique that can restore 5% of his health per second, and can restore to full health within 20 seconds. As long as he has the protection of this boss, he doesn't need the NPC's life link when he activates the inheritance transformation, and can completely fight against the boss!
However, the inheritance transformation only lasts for 2 hours, and it is obviously unrealistic to kill Ankos in 2 hours, so military merits must continue to accumulate.
He saved Melinda three times, so the chances of inviting Melinda to come out are very high! You may ask why the elves are invited when they are one of the four major alliances? The reason is very simple. Just like the humans in the Chaos Realm, they do not belong to the alliance. The so-called alliance is only formed by a part of humans, orcs, elves and dwarves, and cannot represent all four major races on the continent!
In addition, there is Smailo, the Forsaken King, a god-level boss independent of the Seven Witch Kings of the Undead!
He was once given the Pendant of Friendship by Smailo, which showed that they had a friendship. He could also try his luck with the Forsaken King! If he could get a god-level boss to help him, then maybe he could kill Ankos in the first counterattack!
After all, the Undead side only has one boss, Ankos, while the Alliance side has eight Heavenly Saint-level bosses from the eight main cities. With the help of the God-level bosses, the chances of winning are still quite high! That means 10 pieces of God-level suit parts!
It’s exciting just to think about it!
However, Smailo is much more difficult to invite than Melinda. After all, Smailo is also an undead. Although he calls himself a forgotten person and is incompatible with other undead, in terms of "blood relationship", he is closer to Ankos!
But for the sake of the artifact, we have to do it no matter how difficult it is!
Zhang Yang made up his mind and immediately flew from the main city on his phoenix pet. Because Tukula Fortress had also fallen into the hands of the undead, Zhang Yang had no way to use the city lord's authority to teleport there, so he could only take off from Baiyu City - Baiyu City was also the only main city in China that had not been occupied by the undead. As for why it was Baiyu City, it might have something to do with Selena's presence there.
Passing through various leveling areas, entering the Ten Desolate Sea, and entering the Realm of Chaos through the portal, Zhang Yang's first stop was the holy land of the elves.
