The biting cold wind made the flags flutter, and the loud horns echoed across the battlefield.
On the vast desert, the Half-Beasts marched in neat formations, roaring as they advanced towards the players’ camp.
The players stood atop the city walls, their expressions filled with awe as they gazed at the seemingly endless army in the distance.
Though they had participated in countless battles, and so had experienced fights involving hundreds of thousands, this mont, witnessing the tightly-knit ranks of the Half-Beasts, caused their blood to boil uncontrollably.
Of course, the distinctive atmosphere of the desert map, "The endless desert smoke, the long river setting sun," combined with the passionate background music on the battlefield channel, also contributed to the players’ adrenaline rush...
Witnessing this scene, many felt a surge of indescribable heroism.
*Was this the so-called epic feeling?*
"Hiss... Although these past battles made my blood boil, they’re nothing compared to today’s spectacle!"
"After all, it’s an army of hundreds of thousands... In ancient reality, such scenes were rare, weren’t they?"
"A sea of people... No... I don’t think ’sea of people’ even describes it accurately..."
"Thrilling... Just capturing this scene is enough for to boast online!"
"This ga’s warfare chanics... I’m blown away!"
The players stood on the city walls, visibly excited.
Of course, their hands never ceased moving.
Tank warrior players donned heavy armor and positioned themselves at the forefront of the wall.
Archer players raised their bows and magic guns, aiming at the army outside the city.
Mage players and Druid players began chanting rhythmic spells, casting enhancent magic on the players and the city walls.
anwhile, on the elevated platforms of the earth wall, selected players busily perford the final operations on the remote machinery.
They loaded prepared ammunition into catapults and ballistae, readying them for firing.
Jiang Shang was among them.
He stood atop a high platform, clumsily operating the massive ballista, channeling his magic power into the magic stones embedded within it.
While operating, he couldn’t help but complain,
"Why is a lee-focused Druid like operating a ballista?"
"It’s because you are a Silver spellcaster, so your magic power is high!"
His good friend, Akai, replied beside him.
"That’s true."
Jiang Shang scratched his head.
Operating these modified large-scale machines was quite magic-intensive.
Although shooter players had various skill bonuses for better accuracy during attacks, they couldn’t match the endurance of spellcasters when controlling modified catapults and ballistae.
Moreover, since these modified machines heavily relied on magic power for their strength, the skills they originally used to boost attack effectiveness were sidelined.
With these massive tools, the more magic power you amass, the greater the power output.
So... as a Silver Professional Druid, Jiang Shang was naturally roped into this laborious task.
However, though Jiang Shang complained, he was secretly delighted.
Because the past battles had already proven that if these large-scale machines operated well, they were the ultimate tools for scoring points!
"By the way, did you exchange for the [Eagle Eye] and [Heart Arrow] skills?"
Seeing his friend foolishly caressing the ballista, Akai rolled his eyes and asked again.
Jiang Shang nodded,
"Don’t worry, I exchanged for those crucial skills long ago, I don’t want to end up like Little Xian Miao."
[Eagle Eye] and [Heart Arrow] were auxiliary magic for the archer profession, enhancing accuracy to make players hit their targets more precisely.
Although Jiang Shang was not in the archer profession, since it was magic, he could exchange for it; however, he wouldn’t be as powerful using them as the archer players.
"Be careful later, this area will likely be targeted once the fight starts."
Gazing at the approaching Half-Beast Army, Jiang Shang said.
"Don’t worry! I’m wearing the thickest armor, but you be careful. Don’t get so caught up that you get shot by an arrow."
Akai displayed his shiny breastplate, chuckled twice, and replied.
Jiang Shang nodded and again turned his gaze outward beyond the city walls.
The rhythmic and thundering footsteps sounded, the Half-Beast Army drew nearer.
With the Eagle Eye skill, he could now clearly see the grotesque heads and sharp fangs of the frontline Half-orc Warriors.
Unlike the Half-Beasts they fought before, these had noticeably better equipnt, especially the ones in the front.
They were clad in heavy armor, just like the tank warrior players, exuding a formidable presence.
Behind these armored Half-orc Warriors, the main force troops were also fully armored, fully equipped, a stark contrast to the ill-equipped irregular troops of the Half-Beast Tribe.
There was no doubt, this was the true elite force of the Half-Beasts.
Nonetheless, Jiang Shang’s gaze quickly moved past these Half-Beasts, focusing on the massive creatures surrounded by them.
Bimong Giant Beasts.
These creatures, resembling hippos with tusks, human ears, and lion tails, were imnsely tall, standing a full ten ters high, with over a hundred of them in number.
They propelled siege towers, clad in shiny silver armor, seemingly brand-new custom armor, likely from Sorren Comrce.
Moreover, each possessed Silver-level strength, extraordinarily powerful.
