The Truth of Magic

262 the outbreak of a great war (1/3)

“this is our next battle plan?” Zhang Qi looked at the tactical advancement route that cui Lu handed over, then looked at the plain in front of fallen star Lake under the hills, and could not help but think deeply.

“yes, everyone has made up their minds. no matter what, we have to break into the town before tomorrow.” cui lu said to zhang qi. at this time, fang jiyue finally arrived at the battlefield and also looked at the map cui lu had drawn.

“so six. a level 4 player is really fierce. he can directly overturn other people’s plans and make everyone carry out the new plan according to his will.” zhang qi looked at the tactical map that gave him a headache and said.

“it’s mainly because this battle plan is reasonable enough.” Zhang Qi’s girlfriend, the priest Feng GE, said.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

in fact, they had also mentioned the suggestion in the plan.

but there were too many people in the resistance alliance, and in many cases, they might not be able to act according to one’s will.

“in the end, i still have to have a higher level.” Zhang Qiyan said enviously, “with a high level, people will listen to you no matter what you say.

A quarter of an hour later, the horn to charge suddenly sounded from the temporary base camp behind them.

immediately, the countless winter city players gathered on the hill became serious. they knew that this was the start of today’s battle plan.

Zhang Qi held the two-handed sword in his hand and adjusted his repaired armor. He looked at the 30 players of different classes who had assembled according to the battle plan and shouted, ” “let’s go!”

At this moment, Starfall town had also noticed that the players had resumed their attacks. They, too, had set up their own Beacon and sent out signals.

Since the beginning of winter yesterday afternoon, the area around the fallen star Lake had been snowing continuously, and the ground had been covered with a White ” snow blanket “.

in addition to feeling the chill of the snow as they advanced, everyone’s marching speed was also reduced.

In comparison, the ‘heavy cavalry company’ that was unique to Starfall town could only become heavy infantry because of the heavy snow.

Looking down from the sky, on the plains in front of the entire fallen star Lake, groups of players had spread out in formation and surrounded the entire fallen star Lake.

Most of the players in the front were advancing according to plan.

As if anticipating the emptiness of the battlefield today, the plan had arranged for high-ranked Wanderers to stay far ahead of the team, searching for any hidden traps under the snow.

Most of the people at the back were also advancing forward according to their signals.

In each small team, three to five Warriors in front of the main force would abandon their weapons and only hold tower shields with both hands, moving forward against the strong wind.

the snowflakes slowly fell on the players who had specially made protective measures, but they did not melt immediately. instead, they slowly dyed their armor with a layer of white camouflage.

As for the group of Warriors who were leading the way with their tower shields, they were holding their tower shields that were half the height of a man tightly, trying to cover their entire bodies from possible attack range.

Most of them were also wearing half-body armor, which was a combination of chain armor and plate armor, protecting the important parts of the body.

behind them stood another group of soldiers. although they were only wearing light armor, they were all equipped with long spears. once there was contact, they would cover behind the shields and stab with the long weapons in their hands.

The Barbarian players also followed them. Other than a few human barbarians, most of them were half-orc barbarians.

On the other hand, they were holding powerful melee weapons such as giant swords and heavy swords. Many of them had only been given to them this morning, and they had even just wiped the lubricant on them.

According to the plan, these barbarians would activate berserk and charge at the front with all their might the moment the battle broke out.

At this time, the bards who had spread out also began to sing their ‘warsongs’.

With the class ability ” morale boost ” song, all players within the range of the song received a Tier 1 attack and damage increase.

the rogues and rangers were constantly on guard against the sky in front of them, on guard against the rain of arrows that could attack at any time.

the priests on the battlefield followed the instructions and were ready to cast blessing spells the moment the battle began.

This spell was similar to a poet’s Warsong, and it could increase the attack power of the players. moreover, the spell’s coverage range was 15 meters in radius. it was not difficult to buff up to a hundred people with a conscious concentration.

This was far more meaningful than simply using minor healing to restore a few points of health.

this was also what the battle plan had requested despite the majority’s objections.

Perhaps only the Level 4 wizard ” starry sky reflection ” himself had enough fame, and by suddenly joining the group and convincing the entire counterattack Alliance’s higher-ups, he could so smoothly convince the majority of priests to release this group buff spell first instead of saving up a healing spell slot to save for the emergency.

as for the forest patrolman class, as long as they were long-ranged attackers, they were basically arranged to be at the back of the line.

Most of them had collected hundreds of brand new arrows in the morning.

according to the plan, all they had to do was to maintain long-range suppression with their bows.

Zhao Xu’s battle plan from yesterday was actually a central part of it.

A full-force explosion.

he had used high-intensity combat power in a short period of time to directly crush the upper limit of fallen star lake’s defense.

This was also the reason why the players were immediately resurrected in the temple on the battlefield and rejoined the battle after they died.

zhao xu needed the punch he threw to be powerful enough to knock down his opponent.

they didn’t have to fight each other in a physical battle.

this was also the reason why the battle could not continue yesterday afternoon and was delayed until the next day.

His plan had convinced the big guilds and workshops to take out the only weapons and arrows they had in their inventory and distribute them.

after that, they would make up for it with the proceeds from the auction of the fallen star lake’s mine.

this was the big bet he had planned to convince everyone to make.

As the main force advanced, the soldiers at the front couldn’t help but feel a little confused.

They were not advancing very quickly, but compared to yesterday, the obstacles on the battlefield seemed to have disappeared. on the contrary, the wind and snow could stop them for a moment.

Meanwhile, the private army guards, heavy cavalrymen, Winter Wolves, and even the archers of Starfall town had all disappeared.

“Everyone, maintain your vigilance and slow down a bit.”

Many commanders had already noticed that the distance they had advanced today had actually exceeded the progress they had made yesterday.

if there were no more obstacles, they would be able to reach the city gate of starfall town in less than ten to twenty minutes even by foot.

however, at this time, the ground in front of him was a vast expanse of white, and there were countless snowflakes circling in the air, so he could not see the situation further away.

“Spread out, there’s a huge rock.” suddenly, the rogues in the team barely found something wrong in the snow.

After hearing this, the players hurriedly raised the round shields in their iron gloves, vigilantly looking at the danger in the depths of the snow.

a giant rock that was half the height of a man was thrown from the air in an arc.

“Bang!” A huge rock fell to the ground with a loud sound, directly smashing a huge pit in the mud.

however, zhang qi did not see the ” boulder ” again. instead, he heard the sound of more boulders falling.

he could even feel the ground shaking.

However, not long after he rejoiced, he saw another three or four boulders coming at him like cannonballs in the air in front of him.

“Are there that many catapults?” Zhang Qi said in disbelief.

“Dodge, there are too many rocks.” Some players shouted.

at this moment, this sound continued to rise and fall on the battlefield. it was accompanied by the sound of the giant rocks breaking through the air.

it also drowned out the singing of the bards.

On the battlefield in front of the fallen star Lake, countless boulders were falling from the sky, whistling through the snowstorm.

Each stone that was half the height of a person weighed more than a thousand Jun, and a casual touch would result in a situation where one’s body and bones were crushed.

the players regrouped, but before they met the enemy, they were instantly scattered by the sudden rain of boulders.

“ah!”

a rogue wearing a chain-shirt armor shouted in pain. he thought that this armor would allow him to move freely, but he was hit by a huge rock.

He was killed on the spot by the huge impact.

The surrounding players felt a chill in their hearts when they saw this.

however, some of the rocks were even burning, so they could only dodge with all their might.

Suddenly, many of the scouting rogues standing at the front also let out a scream of death after being hit by a weapon, which came through the sound of the wind and snow.

as the wind blew, a group of figures slowly appeared in the snow.

A group of Giants that were three to four meters tall appeared in front of the players. These Giants were extremely strong, and their chests could even fit one or two people. Most of the Giants were wearing half-body armor or leather clothes.

They stared at the group of players in front of them as if they were staring at prey.

Most of these Giants were fire giants and Frost Giants. There were also a few mountain giants mixed in. Most of them held weapons such as giant axes and giant swords in their hands, and they looked very brave.

behind the fire giant leader, other than the fire giants of the same race, there was also a group of hellhounds and two-headed giants that spewed fire. on the frost giant leader’s side, there were a large number of frost giants, winter wolves, and ogres deployed.

It was the first time that the players present had seen such a large number of monsters, and they were all stunned.
