Since he knew there wouldn’t be much to gain from this, Du You had already upgraded everyone’s levels to 29 yesterday. He wasn’t ready to upgrade to the fourth tier just yet, so he didn’t want to upgrade for now.
Staying at level 29, he was now at the peak of the third tier. Barely halfway into the first semester of college, being able to upgrade himself to level 29 was a speed seldom seen in the academy’s history.
Du You looked ahead. At the forefront of the city wall, Zhang Jing had already taken his place at the gate. Now clad in military attire, Zhang Jing’s demeanor differed greatly from the warrior image seen before, resembling more of a commander.
"Prepare for battle, our troops go first, defensive troops push forward, the rest follow up."
With Zhang Jing’s command, the army behind him moved into action. At the front, a group of heavily armored soldiers advanced, each raising a large shield, the glow from them combining to form a vast field.
Initially, each individual defensive skill didn’t provide much strength, but linked together, their defensive power was more formidable than the city walls. The demons who charged hit the defense like water hitting a dam, shattering themselves. As the ranks continuously moved forward, some demons were even pushed off the road and over the cliff.
The troops behind followed closely, with a large number of summoned beasts charging from both sides. Numerous flying summoned creatures also soared towards the other side, clashing intensely with the demons.
The originally disorganized demon ranks became even more chaotic, only being able to watch helplessly as their own ranks kept retreating.
"Yu Shi." Du You glanced at Lin Yushi. She nodded in understanding. The surrounding Demon Extermination Spirits, along with other summoned creatures, began to bypass the front and engage in battle with the demons.
Just then, the rear long-range troops also began to launch their attack. The phrase "arrows fall like rain" wasn’t just a figure of speech. Countless arrows, carrying all sorts of radiance, fell like colorful fireworks hiding deadly danger. Follow current novels on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝔫𝔢𝔱
The mages in the back also launched their prepared spells one by one, and under precise command, every spell landed right where it was needed most, exterminating the demons to the greatest extent possible.
Before long, the entire army had advanced over 240 yards upwards.
Seeing this, Zhang Jing shouted, "Everyone move forward according to the formation planned yesterday." With that, Zhang Jing leapt off the city wall and ran toward the frontlines.
Seeing the easy advancement of these individuals, the fear and dread people initially felt towards the demons started to fade. Coupled with increasing familiarity with the demons over these days, it felt like nothing.
"Keep up, don’t fall behind, this is a good opportunity to improve our mission completion rate."
With cries echoing around, one team after another started to advance. There were not many teams from the academy, instead, the main forces were those they managed to attract over. But the moment these people moved, they fell into disarray.
The forefront was made up of defensive soldiers, yet they couldn’t link their defensive skills together, let alone keep a proper formation. Going in was like fighting for themselves.
The attacks from the archers and mages behind were just as sloppy. The archers couldn’t form an arrow rain, and despite their number, their threat wasn’t significant. Some demons were shot like sieves, yet some didn’t have a single arrow targeting them.
The magic was just as haphazard. Du You clearly saw that many spells were being cast toward unoccupied places. He didn’t know if it was intentional or if the distance resulted in inaccurate attacks.
"I now understand why those who haven’t undergone training are not suitable for large-scale combat. These people seem to only be good for small-scale teaming up." Shaking his head, Du You also moved forward with the crowd.
"It doesn’t matter, once we’ve charged onto the rock plateau, the team will gradually spread out. By then, their individual strengths can be utilized. Let’s catch up, and we should try not to fall too far behind." Li Mengyao said to Du You.
Xi Qianxue remained silent, following next to Du You. After all, following him meant safety. Not to mention their combat power, just the temporary Demon Extermination Spirits they had created along with the short-lived but strong Destruction Evil Dogs already ensured the team’s safety. Many players around them were voluntarily closing in.
Du You didn’t mind. He was still maintaining cooperation with Lin Yushi, and whenever a fireball was guided down, Lin Yushi would always release a Thunderstorm Arrow below to plant the seed of the Demon Extermination Spirit into the demons.
Lin Yucha’s job was to single out powerful demons one by one and finish them off. Even though many of the demons here were of the third tier, there were still many powerful ones.
The team made up of external groups of the academy advanced swiftly at the front. In less than twenty minutes, the team had charged onto the plateau and completely conquered the passage.
Looking back, the city wall was still firmly nestled on the other side of the passage, blocking the demons from outside. The intensity of the demons’ attack did not change. Although the number of people inside had diminished, the actual amount was still plentiful. Since the city wall was now only being attacked from one side, resisting the demons had become much easier than before.
"We’ve made it up. Next, everyone, according to the previous plan, advance while cleansing the area. Destroy any Demon Gates you find. These are crucial factors when evaluating your results."
With that, Zhang Jing took the major part of the army and continued to move forward. Those who followed were the majority. The rest spread out, attacking from other positions as the battle formations gradually expanded and the battle line became longer.
This method maximized the total power of their teams and allowed the demons here to be cleared with the fastest speed. Within the Demon Calamity World, this place was the den for the demons.
It wasn’t just them. The teams at other entrances also rushed onto the rock plateau one after another. The final battle was underway.
"There are so many demons here, especially third-tier ones. It’s a pity that there are too many people around. Otherwise, with the harvest from killing all the way here, it would have been substantial."
"There’s no helping it if there are too many people. Not everyone can ignore the numbers like you. Moreover, with a scene , even if the three of you worked together, you wouldn’t be able to hold it off," Li Mengyao said.
Du You rolled his eyes. That was because he did not use his summoned beasts. Otherwise, he could definitely withstand the attack, but he wasn’t going to admit it.
