Chapter 345: The main mission has begun?
Through the boundless void, Rimuru saw at a glance that the barrier she had set up had a gaping hole in it.
Behind the gap was a dense army.
It looked like a void insect race; their level wasn't high, but their numbers were truly exaggerated.
Cannon fodder probing force?
They must be trying to test her arrangements for the East Continent!
"A test?"
Seeing the dense army, a slight smile appeared on Rimuru's lips.
Then let Thanos witness the power of the Fourth Calamity Army!
"Beep~~woo~~"
"Beep~~woo~~"
Accompanying a piercing alarm sound, in Starting Town, which had undergone a great transformation, both players and ordinary NPCs all looked up.
At the same time, a system announcement sound rang out in the minds of all players.
[All players please note, the barrier protecting the Continent of Light has just been broken, and the army of the Dark Continent is now attacking the Continent of Light.]
[Quest: All players please cooperate with the superhero and armies of the Continent of Light to defend your homeland and eliminate the Dark Army.]
[Quest Time: Unlimited.]
[Number of Players: Unlimited.]
[Character Level: Unlimited.]
[Quest Rewards: Experience, Gold Coins, Items, Skills, etc.]
After a brief silence, all the players were invigorated.
"Did I hear that right? Main quest, the main quest is about to begin, right?"
"The main quest has finally started, my great blade has been thirsty for a long time!"
"Damn it, after doing odd jobs for so long, I can finally fight monsters and level up!"
"Ural~~Ural~~"
"Rua~~Rua~~"
Unlike the players' excitement, the NPCs were infinitely more serious.
Each of them knew this was their last chance.
War is not a game, it has never been a one-person affair.
To deal with the potential crisis, the superhero had already set up several response mechanisms.
Especially with skills like these, the army arrived at the front line immediately.
Of course, players were no exception.
However, most players were arranged in the rear where their level could adapt.
Many monsters were even deliberately let through by superhero and the NPC army for them to level up.
Front line.
Seeing the dense insect army, all the players were shocked.
"Holy crap, the modeling for these small monsters is too realistic!"
"You only just found out how realistic MUO is today?"
"So many of them, what if I have trypophobia?"
"Trypophobia, you idiot, these are all money and experience!"
"You're right!"
"Ural~~Ural~~ I will lead the charge!"
A player in heavy armor, carrying a large saber, charged directly forward.
One person VS a group of bugs!
"These are all experience, don't let Theo steal the spotlight!"
"I, David, am here too!"
It must be said that Theo dared to charge first because his equipment and level were quite good.
What's more, the bugs that could be placed here had already been weakened several times in terms of level.
Furthermore, the insect race has never been a race that wins by individual strength.
Theo ran while dragging his greatsword, charging it.
Soon, a large amount of light effects appeared on his sword.
"Sword Skill!"
Boom!
After a flash of sword light, the foremost bug was instantly killed by Theo.
After the bug was instantly killed by Theo, it instantly transformed into a large number of colorful bubbles and scattered Gold Coins.
Seeing the scattered Gold Coins, all the players' eyes immediately turned red.
Gold Coins, these were Gold Coins, killing one small monster dropped so many.
How long would they have to do odd jobs to get this much!
But very quickly, Theo was surrounded and killed by the bugs.
"Serves him right, that grandson Theo only cared about stealing kills!"
"Haha, Theo, go in peace, your equipment, your Gold Coins, we will inherit them!"
"Sacrifice a teammate, boundless magic power. Gold Coins, these are all Gold Coins!"
"Awooo, you little rascal, your Grandpa is here!"
"Haha, mine, all mine!"
A slaughter thus began.
Large numbers of insect monsters were directly hacked to pieces by the players, but the number of bugs was really a bit too many.
Soon, casualties appeared.
But who's afraid of casualties?
How many Teemos die in Summoner's Rift in a year? How many Little Lubans die?
Who's afraid of who?
"Huff~~huff~~"
"Death doesn't drop levels or equipment, but Death has a revival time. Everyone, don't die carelessly anymore!"
"Son of a turtle, these bugs are really f***ing many. If I wasn't constantly chugging potions, I'd almost not be able to hold on!"
"MD, I have guarded Azeroth, was once one of the eight million warriors of Arad, and worked day and night for Summoner's Rift. I don't believe I'll lose the first battle on this last continent!"
"Well said, Orcs will never be slaves!"
"Not enough manpower, brothers hold on, I'm going to call for people!"
"Nani? There are still people not online? Wake up, you idiot, come on, brother, hurry up. Before you come back, the position will definitely not fall!"
The war was brutal, more brutal than any player could have imagined.
At first, the players were still a scattered mess, even holding the thought of "Brother, go in peace, I will take care of your wife."
But halfway through the battle, all the players tasted the truth.
Facing the overwhelming number of bugs, it was definitely not something a single player could handle; they had to unite.
The players' camaraderie often comes from such situations.
In the eyes of outsiders, it might be incredibly unbelievable, incredibly incomprehensible.
But as long as they've played games together, fought battles together, they are brothers!
However, at this moment, there was a loud bang.
Then, the entire battlefield exploded.
The players watched in astonishment as an incredibly dazzling white light appeared before their eyes, and swathes of bugs were directly blown away.
"Area-of-effect spell?"
Does the game store have this kind of equipment?
Why didn't they know?
Amidst the dust and smoke, everyone vaguely saw a man who had appeared in front of them at some point, wearing a kimono, with Scarlet hair, and two White horns.
When they saw his ID, all the players were stunned.
The ID Colonel Alvin was not unfamiliar to many gamers, as he was also a veteran player.
He had left legends in many games.
Even if they hadn't played games before and only played MUO, they would more or less know Colonel Alvin's name.
Because, not long ago, Colonel Alvin had auctioned off information and game guides.
According to the predictions of many players, Colonel Alvin was definitely one of the players who had obtained the most Gold Coins since the server opened.
And those players who bought information and guides from Colonel Alvin also gained great benefits.
Colonel Alvin was definitely a recognized pro player!
But what surprised everyone was that in the blink of an eye, Colonel Alvin had already become so powerful.
You're cheating!
Alvin didn't care about the burning gazes of the players behind him.
Instead, a smile curved on his lips.
After receiving his name from Veldora, Alvin had evolved from an ordinary Great Ogre to a Kijin.
His level soared, leaving all other players far behind.
He reached a dream-like level, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as skyrocketing.
In terms of skills, he also directly learned multiple skills.
Seeing the bugs charging at him, Alvin's face showed a cold, stern smile.
He slowly drew the katana hanging at his waist, and after a series of Shadow, countless flashes of silver light followed.
And after the silver light, Alvin turned handsomely, facing all the dumbfounded players, and slowly re-sheathed his katana.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
After a series of explosions, countless bugs instantly turned into countless colorful bubbles rising into the sky.
And the splashing Gold Coins dazzled everyone even more.
Gulp!
Gulp!
Gulp!
Looking at Alvin, who didn't even turn his head, everyone couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Everyone's eyes were shining.
He was so incredibly cool!
