Chapter 120 A brilliant plan has been executed, and the Rat King has been slain.
As a loud noise rang out, the two forks in the road instantly became agitated.
Inside the enormous rat nest, the gold-devouring rat emitted a continuous squeak.
Daytime is their prime time for sleeping, and the gold-eating rat has zero tolerance for this kind of behavior that bites people to keep them awake.
At this moment, quite a few gold-devouring rats were already running around inside, preparing to crawl in and attack the players.
Many players perked up at the sight of the small opening.
Because they knew that the gold-devouring rats would then emerge through this opening.
The sound of the rats running grew closer, and soon the first gold-devouring rat appeared.
But he was caught red-handed by the nearest player and stabbed with a sword, dying on the spot.
"Retreat!" the young player shouted immediately, and everyone stopped their performance and quickly retreated.
As the players left, they also set up various measures, such as sealing the entrance and casting spells, to slow down the rat swarm's attack.
Outside the cave entrance, Qianlong and his companions exchanged glances.
It should be about time.
"Two powerful figures, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, you should prepare to depart now," the strategist said in a deep voice, giving the two men a long look.
"No problem, but we can't hold out for too long. You need to resolve this quickly." Qianlong nodded, his tone becoming more serious and determined.
The strategist chuckled.
His previous experience in various games had already given him a thorough understanding of multiplayer team battles.
Let alone these gold-devouring rats that don't even have a commander, even if you let the gold-devouring rat king come over to command them.
Even without personally taking action, the strategist is confident he can shred them into dust.
After saying this, Qianlong, along with Wohu and the Feilong Zaitian team, headed towards the third fork in the road inside the cave.
As they approached the fork in the road, the group walked along until they found the widest area.
Crouching Tiger observed his surroundings.
This place is about several tens of square meters, about the size of a small wooden house.
The ground at the fork in the road was covered with gravel, no more than three meters high, but it was enough to get around.
Indeed, after discussing with his strategist, he changed the plan from a decapitation strike to besieging the enemy general.
To put it simply, it's the same principle: if you want to hold back the rat horde and find the time to kill the Gold-Eating Rat King, that's very difficult.
However, using reverse thinking and choosing to stall the Rat King, giving the players time to defeat the Gold-Eating Rat Swarm, was relatively easy for everyone.
Essentially, Crouching Tiger played a crucial role in this strategy, acting as the strategist of the Dog Head Strategist Group during the battle.
Choose to divide the enemy's key combat forces, giving both sides a fair opportunity for team battles.
Given the disparity in command, the collapse of the gold-devouring rat horde was only a matter of time.
A rushing sound came from in front of them.
Wo Hu took a deep breath, and his expression became serious.
The same applies to Feilong in the sky; he draws his longbow and stares ahead with eyes like an eagle.
At the edge of his vision, a small black dot was slowly growing larger.
"Remember, our only objective this time is to delay this Rat King and prevent him from leaving this place," Wo Hu said in a serious tone with a solemn expression.
To deal with this delay, he opted to let the dragon roam freely in the sky, intervening with arrows from the outside, while the other three mages used their skills to intercept it at any time.
He, Qianlong, and a tank were positioned at the front, personally engaging the Gold-Eating Rat King.
If we're talking about pressure, these three are undoubtedly under the most pressure.
On the other side, as the players retreated, they soon arrived at the initial empty rat nest.
Because of their rapid movement, the swarm of rats behind them had not yet emerged from their burrow.
Seeing the players emerge, the strategist immediately began outlining his next plan.
"There are 30 regular players and 5 members of the Ryugetsu Group present today."
"Next, Liuyue, your team should go to the side and be ready to deal with any elite monsters that may appear."
Liuyue nodded and led her squad out of the ranks.
This is, after all, a server-wide update battle.
So apart from the two sword immortals from the Black Tiger Gang, and Li Fan and his two companions who were unable to leave Lianyun Market, almost all the other players who could get there had arrived.
Even a laid-back player like Cangfeng Mingyue, who loves farming, was dragged onto the battlefield and forced to become a conscript.
However, he was quite excited. After all, what player wouldn't love fighting monsters and leveling up?
Not to mention large-scale dungeons and team battles like this.
The strategist's arrangement for Liuyue to step forward and keep an eye on the elite monster was also quite meaningful.
After all, when the group was dealing with this rat swarm, they encountered a few elite monsters causing trouble.
This time, they are fighting against the enemy's stronghold, and besides the Rat King, there will definitely be other powerful Gold-Eating Rats.
And these are the toughest bones to gnaw on among the rats!
After arranging the Liuyue squad, the strategist continued, "The other 30 players, form a square of 10 each, consisting of warriors at the front, archers skilled in bows and arrows, and mages specializing in magic."
Due to the composition of the formation and the arrangement of personnel, the strategist had already conducted several simulated training sessions.
Naturally, the players acted very quickly, and soon the three formations were assembled.
"Next, the tanks should stand in front to create space for the DPS to deal damage. Archers, get ready for the first round of arrows." The strategist stared intently at the entrance of the cave, not daring to blink.
Just then, the first gold-swallowing rat rushed out, looking around blankly, at a loss.
But soon, this money-devouring rat will never be confused again.
"Release the arrows!"
At the strategist's command, ten arrows formed from spiritual energy flew in unison.
Before long, the gold-devouring rat and several of its companions behind it were turned into hedgehogs.
"Well done! Archers, reload your arrows now! Mages, your ultimate skills are almost ready, prepare for the next round of attacks!" The strategist waved his hand, signaling the tanks to prepare to take the lead.
Just then.
Suddenly, a large gold-devouring rat rushed out of the cave entrance. Judging from its shape, it must have come from the second fork in the road.
"The Ryugetsu team, quickly move forward and lure it away, don't let it charge the formation." The strategist, quick-witted, directed the Ryugetsu team.
Liu Yueqing nodded, and then rushed forward with the group who loved cilantro.
With a few sword strikes, the five of them successfully drew the aggro of the elite gold-devouring rat, preventing it from disrupting their formation.
Watching the elite gold-devouring rat disappear into the distance, the strategist breathed a sigh of relief, but it was only that one bite.
His gaze immediately locked onto the cave not far ahead.
In an instant, countless gold-devouring rats rushed out.
The gold-devouring rats bared their sharp fangs, preparing to charge towards the front line of meat shields.
"The plan has changed. There are too many monsters this time. Archers and mages, go all out and make sure to deal maximum damage!" The strategist immediately changed his strategy when he saw that things were not going well.
Abandoning the stable, round-by-round strategy, they maximized all their damage output in this attack by the Gold-Eating Rat.
Although this move was indeed risky, the final result was quite good.
This wave of gold-devouring rats that charged forward was driven back by the players' frenzied attacks, resulting in many casualties.
Many of the gold-devouring rats who had managed to retreat to their burrows were still in shock. They remembered that their king had already rushed over, but why hadn't he arrived at the battlefield yet?
"So you call yourself the Rat King? Take this Rising Dragon Slash and see how strong you are."
At the rightmost fork in the road, billowing dust flew everywhere as the Rat King stomped around wildly.
The Gold-Eating Rat King cried out in pain, looking up at the sky and letting out a long howl.
It had been harassed by these lowly humans for a long time, and its heart was already burning with anger, completely forgetting that another battlefield was waiting for it.
Qianlong was overjoyed to see that his move had worked.
He immediately retreated, asking Wohu to draw his sword and help him defend.
Crouching Tiger clearly noticed the change in the expression of the Gold-Eating Rat King, and knew in his heart that their delaying tactics should have worked.
But the players' joy didn't last long.
The next moment, the Rat King's roar startled the group.
pay attention.
This is not an exaggeration; the players were genuinely shocked.
The tank player who was closest to the enemy vomited blood and died on the spot.
"Damn, what kind of supernatural power is this?" Qianlong looked at the suddenly dead meat shield corpse on the ground and couldn't help but feel lingering fear.
If he had retreated even half a step slower, he might have followed in his footsteps and died just like that tank player.
However, Crouching Tiger calmly made a decision in the face of this sudden change.
"The Rat King has been exposed. You three players don't need to use spells to delay him from the outside. Switch to melee weapons and come over."
No sooner had Wo Hu finished speaking than a pair of sharp claws appeared before his eyes.
The gold-devouring rat is a beast that eats minerals.
Its claws are sharp, like a golden blade cutting through iron like mud.
If this claw grabs him, the crouching tiger will surely die!
He reacted quickly, immediately drawing his longsword and managing to block the sharp claw at the last second.
Qianlong reacted quickly, rushing forward and using his sword to knock away the claws.
The other three players quickly came closer, and the five of them confronted the Gold-Eating Rat King together.
As for Flying Dragon in the Sky, he continued to look for opportunities to ambush the Rat King from the safe area outside the arena, and also helped relieve the pressure on the others.
As time passed, the Gold-Eating Rat King's strength dwindled to almost nothing.
The players breathed a sigh of relief; with the intervention of the flying dragon's arrows, the Rat King was already covered in wounds.
It won't be long before they can not only delay him, but they might even be able to kill him one-on-one.
Seeing this scene, Feilong Zaitian couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. "Just a wretched rat king, you dare to kill me?"
Weren't you having a good time when Claws sneaked up and attacked before? Why can't you kill them now?
But just then, when everyone relaxed their guard...
An even louder roar of acceleration came from the fork in the road in the distance.
Qianlong felt a sense of foreboding, and Feilong Zaitian even found his bow-drawing hand losing strength.
A terrifying thought instantly rose in their minds within seconds.
"Could there be a second Rat King?"
