Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Struggle!
It was getting closer and closer to zero o’clock on the 30th. There were fewer and fewer players outside the main city. Most of the players had already entered the main city to participate in defending the city. Meanwhile, the pitch-black sky of Victorious Return Continent finally started to drizzle, causing the online players to involuntarily feel a trace of coldness.

To the player’s surprise, The camp outside the main city had also changed, The NPCs in the camp actually started to evacuate to the main city. As a result, the teleportation portal outside the main city was no longer usable. The large area outside the main city had also turned into an uninhabited area. It could be seen that the entire Victorious Return Continent was affected by the Sky Calamity Legion’s attack. A desolate atmosphere began to envelop the players’ hearts.

“Do you see? Even the NPCs have withdrawn to the city. Are we just hiding in the city to defend?” A player said.

“I’m not sure. The leaders of the big guild have yet to come up with a decision. I heard that we’ll have to wait until the news of whether the city gate will close or not comes out.”

“Sigh, I don’t even know where the calamity came from. How can I defend this city? I hope the NPC can help me!”

…

Just as they arrived at 23:30, changes suddenly appeared. In the area where the six main cities were located, there were many multicolored portals. In the dark night, they were as beautiful as stars.

In the next second, no one felt that these portals were beautiful, because from the portals onwards, monsters began to emerge one after another. Players who had learned the [Eagle’s Eye Art] all used their skills to watch, and at this sight, they were shocked!

Ghouls, zombies, skeletal soldiers, monks, stone ghosts, and other undead monsters that many players were familiar with but were frightened of kept coming out of the portal. More and more undead monsters appeared. In less than five minutes, these monsters were already densely packed, occupying the vast area of the main city, and they let out low and terrifying cries. The timid players all trembled when they heard this.

Fortunately, these portals were far away from the main city, and the monsters did not attack immediately after they appeared. Instead, they gathered 1000 meters away from the main city. It was as if they were waiting for the moment of the official attack to arrive, while the players remained motionless. In fact, no one dared to leave.

South Gate of City of Sunrise.

An indescribable secret was observing the situation outside the city, As it was night, the exact situation could not be seen clearly. However, in just a few minutes, the monsters of the distant Sky Calamity Legion had already turned into a black shadow. It could be seen that these monsters covered the entire southern part of the Sunrise Plains. The unspeakable secret expression became serious. He muttered to himself in a low voice, “This number is no less than a million, right?” “Furthermore, those portals seem to be continuously transporting monsters. I didn’t expect the Sky Calamity Legion to descend in this manner.”

Indeed, neither the players nor the NPCs expected a natural disaster to come from the portal. This was clearly different from a hundred years ago. How did Lich King Solo hide his army?

At this time, an elven hunter named Sharp Blade squeezed into an unspeakable secret and said to the unspeakable secret, “Boss, the Guild Leader and the Guild Leader of Sorrow have sent news that they are in the same situation. The brothers on the east side say that no monsters have appeared.”

The unspeakable secret became even more gloomy when he heard this and said, “Looks like the main attack is on all three sides. The number of troops involved in the natural calamity is simply too astonishing.”

“Yes, these monsters pounced over together. The price we have to pay to defend the city gate will be very heavy.” Wei Mingyuan nodded. Right now, the people from the Beauty Obsession Mercenary Group were standing at the front of the south gate with untold secrets, observing the situation of the natural disaster a thousand meters away.

“Secret Guild Leader, is this city gate open?” Zhang Ping asked curiously. The south gate of City of Sunrise was dozens of meters wide. How could it be guarded if it wasn’t closed?

However, the unspeakable secret gave a cruel answer: “The latest news is that it will not be closed. City of Sunrise’s NPC army intends to let our players resist the Calamity Legion at the city gates.”

“Really? NPC won’t help?” Zhang Ping’s face ached.

“Perhaps this is the system’s rule, none of the gates of the six major cities are closed” An unspeakable secret frowned.

‘”Yes, natural disasters are originally a challenge for players. It’s normal for us to resist. However, the plot of natural disasters in our game area has been advanced by nearly 20 levels. If the city gate is not closed, our casualties will be much more severe.” Wei Mingyuan nodded.

“Perhaps we will have to use our deaths to defend against this calamity.” The kindergarten had a solemn expression. They had finally managed to reach Level 38. If they continued to die, their efforts would be in vain these past few days.

“Boss, the scouts ahead have sent back news that the monsters at the front of the Sky Calamity Legion are all Level 40 or so,” said one of the indescribable secrets’ younger brothers.

“Level 40? That’s good. We should be able to defend against the attack from the Calamity.” His eyes lit up when he heard the unspeakable secret.

Wei Mingyuan, the kindergarten, and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Level 40 wasn’t that high. However, everyone knew that the monsters at the front were definitely the weakest monsters in the Sky Calamity Legion. They only had one function, and that was to be cannon fodder.

However, Wei Mingyuan and the others, including all the players, did not know that the millions of monsters in front of them were cannon fodder!

While Wei Mingyuan was discussing with Untold Secrets and the others, Xue Wuhen’s group of women (children) were also discussing the terrible situation in front of them.

“Looks like it’s impossible not to die in this plot … Oh, I wonder how much experience we have in killing these monsters from the Sky Calamity Legion. If we can last a little longer, perhaps the experience we gain can offset our experience in death!” Xue Wuhen looked at the restless monsters in the distance and said thoughtfully.

“Can this work? The city gate is so big, and the equipment level of the players is uneven. It will be very difficult to endure for a long time.” Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.

‘”Perhaps. As long as the tanks are strong enough, our unyielding uncles are enough to deal with them. We just need to do our own work. The entire south gate is so big, we can’t just rely on these few of us to defend it. There are still so many players!” Qing Wu said after pondering for a while.

‘”Little Wu is right. We just have to persevere as long as we can. We have to defend this city gate. We players can’t be afraid of death. The first batch of players are dead, and the next batch will have to take over!” Xue Wuhen nodded.

“It sounds very tragic.” Zhao Xi muttered to herself in a low voice, but everyone heard her. The girls all smiled and touched Zhao Xi’s little head.

Wei Mingyuan noticed Xue Wuhen’s words just now, so he couldn’t help but ponder for a while before discussing with an unspeakable secret.

Time passed quickly. Another 15 minutes passed. At this time, a system notification sounded in the ears of all the players. “Ding, you accepted the storyline mission ‘Guard the City’ …”

Number of missions: None.

Chapter # # # #

This was a compulsory mission. Regardless of whether it was online or not, every player would receive it. This mission only had a penalty for failure and no reward. This made the players feel extremely dissatisfied. However, because of this, the players did not dare to give up lightly and casually deal with this large-scale storyline.

“How can this be!? There is no reward for a mission, only punishment for failure. This is unfair!” Zhang Ping shouted. He hadn’t accepted such a task.

“Didn’t you already know about this punishment for failure? What’s there to make a fuss about?” Wei Mingyuan said with contempt.

“That’s different. The system didn’t give you a mission before! There must be a reward for a mission!”

“Then you can just treat the mission as a plot. This was originally a large-scale plot, but now it’s just a reward and punishment in the form of a mission. Besides, whether there’s a reward or not, we’ll have to wait until the natural disaster is over before we can confirm it.”

”

Zhang Ping was noisy, but he had swept away the oppressive atmosphere nearby. Perhaps, this was the last bit of time for everyone to relax.

…

Duramo Prairie, North Gate of Steel Castle.

In an instant, Heaven looked at the Sky Calamity Monster a thousand meters away and said to a player beside him, “The city gate will not be closed. Let the tanks come to the front. We will defend against the attack of the Sky Calamity outside the city gate.”

“Yes, Guild Leader.”

Then, in an instant, Heaven turned around and said, He solemnly said to the players beside him, Ladies and gentlemen, this Heavenly Calamity attack concerns all the players of our Steel Castle. Once we lose, our ranks will drop drastically and our NPCs will disappear for 15 days. This is a punishment that we do not want to see and cannot accept. Therefore, brothers and sisters, please temporarily put aside your past grievances and work together to overcome this difficult situation.

“Don’t worry, Heavenly Guild Leader. We will definitely do our best. Steel Castle is our main city. We will suffer both glory and loss. From now on, our Black Tornado Guild will be at your disposal. I believe other Guild Leaders will do the same!” A warrior player called “Black Brother Li Kui” shouted, his voice echoing throughout the northern gate of the steel castle.

However, Black Brother Li Kui’s words did not get everyone’s approval. A female human mage called “Bauhinia” said, “Hmph, Li Kui, don’t include us. We don’t listen to the orders of Heaven’s Pain!”

“Guild Leader Bauhinia, what are you saying? This is not the time to get angry. The calamity is right in front of us. Let’s put aside the previous grudges.” Black Brother Li Kui said excitedly.

“Li Kui, your Black Tornado is willing to die that day. I won’t stop or interfere, but you don’t have the qualifications to represent our Bauhinia Flower and other Guilds.” Bauhinia had a head of purple hair and her cold face was covered in frost. Her guild, Bauhinia, had always been at odds with Heaven’s War, so why would she listen to the command of Heaven in an instant?

“That’s right” The guild leaders who had a grudge against Heaven’s Pain also expressed their opposition. What if Heaven used their guild members as cannon fodder in an instant? The reason why they dared to resist the Heaven’s Pain was because of Bauhinia, the female Guild Leader who did not allow Xumei to lead them.

“Guild Leader Bauhinia, what you said is too unpleasant. Don’t tell me that you call everyone close to my Heavenly Death a lackey? In this way, Guild Leader Bauhinia will offend too many people.”

“Heaven in an instant, you don’t have to threaten me. Are you buying off too few people? What, do you dare to do it or not?” Bauhinia said coldly. She was very clear about the actions of this hypocrite in Heaven’s Instant. She had been tempted by Heaven’s Instant, but she had managed to survive. However, after that, her Guild Bauhinia had become a thorn in the side of Heaven’s Pain, suppressing it everywhere!

Hearing this, a trace of anger flashed across Heaven’s eyes. However, he maintained a gentle smile on his face. “Guild Leader Bauhinia misunderstood me too much. However, this is not the time to talk about this. In a few minutes, the monsters of the Calamity will attack. At that time, if we fight on our own and can’t act together, our combat strength will greatly decrease. Guild Leader Bauhinia, I don’t think you want to lower your combat strength by 5 levels, right?”

The Violet Thistle fell silent for a moment. What Heaven had said made sense, but she was unwilling to obey the orders of Heaven. Moreover, she had the same concerns as the other guilds, afraid that Heaven would use her guilds as cannon fodder and dispatch them all to the front in an instant.

“Guild Leader Bauhinia, only the members of your guilds are unwilling. Aren’t you hurting the interests of the players of the Steel Castle by doing this?” Heaven said in an instant.

Just as Heaven’s words were finished, the Bauhinia Thorn heard the ear-piercing words of some idle players. She gritted her teeth and said, “Heaven’s Will, let us listen to your commands for an instant. Yes, but you must agree to one condition.”

“Guild Leader Bauhinia, please speak.” In an instant, the corners of Heaven’s mouth curved.

“It’s very simple. In that instant, you have to stay at the front line and fight. You can’t hide behind and command.”

“Naturally, as the Guild Leader of Heaven’s Pain, I will not take a step back. Brothers and sisters present can watch. I will definitely fight to the end with everyone!” Heaven’s Pain’s Pain’s expression immediately became serious.

This time, Bauhinia and the other Guild Leaders were speechless. In an instant, Heaven smiled at Bauhinia and took the lead, leading the people beside him towards the north gate.
