Quadruple split.

Chapter 2320: Division

The Samler River has burst its banks!

  As the huge waves that were beyond human control rushed in, smashing the three long bridges around Black Onyx City, including the Samler Bridge, the defenders inside and outside the city were suddenly in a short-circuit state. They turned their heads mechanically, their eyes wide open in disbelief, totally unable to believe that the moat that was rapidly drying up a second ago had become so turbulent and... aggressive!

Because of this, let alone Kasena's small elite force that had not yet started crossing the river, even the siege troops in the south and east of Black Onyx City at this moment were also divided into two, so that the death squad on the opposite side of the river bank became an isolated army, and the troops that had not yet crossed the river were forced to reorganize on the spot and could only use rain of arrows and crossbows to cover their colleagues on the opposite side of the river.

[Hmm? Rain of arrows and crossbows? ]

After realizing that Kasena, whose strength was not at the epic level and could not directly fight against the forces of nature, had almost no hope of survival, Lucia returned to the eastern wall and her eyes narrowed slightly. In an instant, she realized a crucial detail -

"There are many fewer spellcasters."

Because the large number of soldiers who had been bullied onto the city wall attracted most of the attention, it was not until this moment that Lucia realized that the originally considerable number of spellcasters outside the city had been reduced by more than half without her noticing, and those mysterious professionals who were still left in the position all collapsed to the ground at this moment, with pale faces and being protected at the back, trembling as if they were frightened out of their wits.

However, Lucy, who is also a spellcaster, realized at the first moment that it was not because of fear, but because of tiredness!

This is because the magic power in the body is drained out in a short period of time, so that even meditation cannot be done in the "exhaustion" state. This is also an extreme situation that most spellcasters will find difficult to experience until they die.

After all, whether it is a physical or mystical profession, it is difficult to fight to the point of exhaustion of physical strength or magicka, because in a normal life-and-death battle, there is no need to exhaust one's energy. As long as one party falls into an absolute disadvantage, it will basically be killed within a few moves.

Even academic spellcasters or scientific researchers who work day and night in their research rarely use up all their magic power in experiments, because in this case, the strong headache and sense of detachment are enough to interrupt all logical thinking, making it impossible for people to do anything except "rest", and "not being able to work" is what such people can't tolerate the most. Take Lu Wei and Mu Changchun as examples. If you let these two work intensively for three days and three nights without sleep or food, they can basically do it as long as their bodies can withstand it; but if you let Master Lu and Merlin in the game have an afternoon of free time, not allowed to do anything or think about anything, and can only eat, drink water and bask in the sun, then you are probably going to die.

Moreover, for the caster, once the magic power is generated, it will become a "basic element" in a short period of time, which is equivalent to the "lungs" of a baby after its umbilical cord is cut and it makes its first cry. In this case, the difficulty of the caster exhausting his own magic power is only slightly lower than the outrageous operation of "strangling himself".

However, the spellcasters who were left outside the city did it. With the determination to die, although they could not rush to the top of the city wall and fight bloody battles like their colleagues who were good at swords and fighting spirit, they also completed the difficult mission assigned by King Wuye, which was to use a large number of low-level and easy-to-intercept spells to drain all the magic power in a short period of time, and then cover up the fact that the remaining two-thirds of the spellcasters left quietly.

The purpose of those spellcasters' departure has become clear to everyone at this moment.

  The Samler River is running wild!

A man-made, premeditated dam breach!

Because of the presence of Mo Tan and Lucy, both the [Haunted Church] team and the [Sailor Moon] team have a considerable amount of background information. This information, in addition to humanities and politics, naturally also includes some geographical knowledge, and the Samler Dam, which still exists in the Violet Empire, is naturally among them.

In the eyes of countless viewers, the Nightless King… that is, the [Haunted Church] completed three integrations and three divisions during the preparation stage, which was the period when both sides entered the game and the battle situation was still lukewarm.

The first integration was a large-scale assembly of three elite troops: the Black Crow Guards, the Iron Cavalry and the Tiger Fang Army, from the rear of the position.

The second integration is the autonomous reorganization of all the reserve forces before they are deployed to the front line and launch the final offensive.

The first division of the troops was when the spellcasters in the Black Raven Guard and the Tiger Fang Army were separated.

The second division of troops and the third integration were that all the mysterious professionals, except the spellcasters directly under King Wuye, retreated to the rear against the reserve team, joined the group of elite spellcasters, and were at the disposal of King Wuye's personal mage advisor.

The third division of troops was when Yi Dong and Gu Xiaole, who were included in the same lens of the system, parted ways with the upper reaches of the Samler River. After completing the [Five Ghosts Moving Mountains] and building a temporary small dam to cut off the moat, the former led the spellcasters all the way west, aiming directly at the Samler Dam.

Everyone has seen what happened next. Gu Xiaole and others, who led the entire Iron Cavalry Team and most of the Tiger Fang Army and the Black Crow Guard, successfully occupied the quarry. And it just so happened that Yi Dong in another shot had completed the "moving of mountains" and built a temporary dam, causing the system prompt sound from the Sailor Moon side to do double the bad.

At the same time, Yidong led almost four-fifths of the spellcasting force under King Wuye and rushed all the way to the Samler Dam where there were almost no people stationed, and then began to cast spells jointly.

As we all know, "dam breach" is not a common thing outside of the game. After all, the biggest feature of a dam is its firmness and solidity. In an era of rule of law where human damage can be almost ruled out, only severe natural factors such as concentrated rainstorms, large typhoons, earthquakes, landslides, etc. can cause dam breaches, which in turn lead to destructive disasters. To this day, dam breaches are rare, and even if emergencies occur, the disaster is almost always suppressed within a very small range.

In the [Realm of Innocence], countless spellcasters who can wield magic and control elements can simulate a large number of natural disasters. Among other things, the [Flowing Flame], [Heavy Rain], [Ground Fracture], and [Vacuum Storm] in the mage system are infinitely close to natural phenomena, and the shaman's [Lava Eruption], [Lightning Storm], [Hurricane], and [Riptoon] are more realistic natural disasters in a literal sense!

Even though these high-level spellcasters could not cause major floods, earthquakes, or catastrophes, they could still cause the Samler Dam to burst artificially through joint spellcasting.

So, when Gu Xiaole led the elite troops to chase and kill Kasena and others, Yi Dong also completed the task at the right time, leading to a wave of water that not only broke down the temporary dam he built with [Five Ghosts Moving Mountains], but also directly turned the moat of Black Agate City into a raging torrent. Although it was far from enough to destroy this mighty city, it also made "crossing the river" a fantasy.

It's a pity that if there were more than three epic spellcasters with profound attainments in the water element school in the formation, there would really be a chance of causing a small-scale flood. Even if the city could not be destroyed, it would not be difficult to flood it by three points. It's a pity that at that time, as long as an epic seedling appeared in the three marquis' families, he would be directly recruited into the Violet Family, so that except for a few close attendants who stayed with the other two marquises, the only epic powerhouses on the rebel side were King Wuye and his personal mage advisor.

However, these two people were replaced instantly after the start of the game, and Mo Tan and Gu Xiaole took their places, causing the number of epic powerhouses on the [Haunted Church] side to drop directly to zero.

However, the same is true for Sailor Moon. According to historical records, because Ms. Diana Blaisen was not actually imprisoned here, there were also only three epic masters. They were the bloodseeker ancestor of the Hopkins family, the former's dragon partner, and the chief guard officer of the city lord Samuel Hopkins. However, their identities were replaced by Lucia, Christina, and Casena, and the number of epic masters was also reduced to zero.

Of course, even if there are really epic strongmen active on the battlefield, their help to the battle situation is limited. For example, Philip, the Son of Fertility, once defeated a large number of harpies on his own in the city of Dumbuya, but the price he paid was also huge. Although it helped his side gain a huge advantage, it ultimately did not have the effect of decisive victory.

As for the Legendary-level warriors… they could definitely make the final decision in most legion-level battles, but these monsters, which were almost equivalent to nuclear weapons in reality, did not want to risk being attacked by the public, so they rarely appeared in public. In short, despite being an epic-level warrior, when Kasena noticed that the moat had become so turbulent, she immediately sentenced herself to death in her heart.

Under the "attention" of Yu Gu Xiaole and the elite troops around him, forcing the river across would definitely be a joke that would lead to their own death.

  If you don't cross the river, at least you can bite off a piece of flesh from the opponent!

[Now that things have come to this, let’s take a few people away with us if we can. At least we can help the three of them reduce the combat power of the guys on the other side.]

It took less than a second for Cassena to make up her mind. She turned around and raised her war hammer [Overlord's Roar] against the backdrop of the rolling torrent. Then she swung it down heavily, aiming it at the enemies not far away who had already slowed down and formed a battle formation, and were ready to fight.

Although she didn't say a word the entire time, her leadership charm was so unreasonable that after she swung her hammer, the elite defenders behind her who had turned around with Cassena rushed forward, roaring and killing the enemy.

"Alala~"

Gu Xiaole walked out of the battle formation gracefully, covered her mouth with her pitch-black five-bone bat fan [Black Young: Divination], and sighed, "Brother, are you trying too hard?"

"What the hell is that name for Big Brother..."

Kasena rolled her eyes, then leaped up with the force of thunder, and slashed at the Great Onmyoji who had probably been exhausted just now. The latter had no intention of fighting against her at all, and actually ran towards the enemy on the other side at a rapid pace.

[Yin Yang Magic - Ice Curse: Cold Pond]

[Yin Yang Magic - Fire Curse - Zhu Rong]

[Yin Yang Magic - Thunder Curse: Shock]

[Yin Yang Magic - Wind Curse·Demon Cloud]

Then, Gu Xiaole was seen holding [Black Young·Zhanshi Luejue], constantly using various large-scale Yin-Yang techniques with different effects to contain the enemy. Although the elite who left the city with Kasena were strong and well-equipped, they were powerless in the face of overwhelming numbers. After a few short rounds of fighting, they began to die in large numbers. Although Kasena was unrivaled in momentum, Gu Xiaole was still one level stronger and suppressed the former steadily.

In the end, Cassena made no further progress as the enemy fought a war of attrition with him in order to reduce casualties. After he had led his men to kill several heavy knights, he was hit by a total of seventeen weapons at the same time. His life was reduced to zero and he turned into white light and disappeared.

After a while, the elite defenders who were sent out of the city by Lucy to follow Cassena were also slaughtered. Although the casualty ratio was very outrageous, Gu Xiaole was still not satisfied after quickly counting the number of people.

  The reason is simple. The elite defenders who were sent out of the city to carry out the quarry recapture operation with Kasena were too few. You know, in Mo Tan's ideal estimate, the number of people in Kasena's team should be at least not much different from Gu Xiaole and his group, at least two-thirds of this number!

As a result, when the fight started, Gu Xiaole found that the number of the enemy's troops was not that large, and their strength was only above average, which meant that the defense of the city might be stronger than in the "ideal state".

But she was not in a hurry. After all, this flexibility did not exceed the range given by Mo Tan, and she also successfully completed the combat objectives of the current stage, that is, to successfully eliminate the Sailor Moon members, most of whom were Kasena, and gain the advantage in numbers.

As for the reason for striving for head advantage...

[Of course, it’s because someone has to take the initiative to die. 】

Gu Xiaole smacked her lips and sighed in her heart as she led the three elite troops behind her to gallop to the side and rear. Judging from the route, she seemed to want to meet up with her brother who had just evacuated from the Samler Dam at the place where the small bridge used to be.

Just like that, a few minutes later, King Wuye completed the fourth round of integration. Yidong, who led the spellcasters to complete the artificial breach of the dam, and Gu Xiaole, who successfully defeated the Kasena tribe after occupying the quarry, completed the confluence at the temporary dam that was originally shaped into a small miracle by the [Five Ghosts Moving Mountains] and was eventually directly washed into mud and water.

"How was it, did it go smoothly?"

"It's okay. It seems like you're having a hard time."

"If your heart is not bitter, your life will be bitter."

"Haha, there's more suffering to come, right?"

"Who says it isn't?"

"Then go and suffer!"
