Online Game: Low Drop Rate? I Have a Guaranteed Drop System!-Chapter 108: Shocking Battle, Players Take Action

"Kill...!"

Suddenly, a wave of battle cries shot into the sky as the city’s soldiers launched their attack.

Players watching from a distance saw this and started to chatter.

"What’s going on? The Beast Wave hasn’t even started, and they’re attacking first?" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Are these soldiers crazy?"

"No, they’re sacrificing their lives to hold back the Beast Wave!"

One person realized and exclaimed in surprise.

From the three sides of the city walls, more than ten thousand soldiers rushed out each. Among them were many long-range classes, like archers, mages, and even priests and other support roles.

These long-range players could only fully use their power from behind the walls. Rushing out like this was basically a death sentence.

Roar...

A series of fierce roars echoed as the countdown ended. The Beast Wave army also moved, stretching endlessly like a tidal wave, rushing toward the players.

Whoosh!

Flames raged across the sky. These Blazing Tigers and Furious Fire Lions wielded fire magic. Before even making contact, the soldiers were already half-dead.

No one backed down. They rushed through the flames, charging into the Beast Wave with fearless determination.

"Roar!" A furious roar echoed as soldiers clashed with the Beast Wave.

A Blazing Tiger swiped its claw and crushed a soldier. A Furious Fire Lion brutally tore apart another.

Such bloody scenes, even though everyone knew it was just a game, still made their skin crawl.

The endless Beast Wave instantly overwhelmed them, mercilessly slaughtering.

Dylan’s eyes were wide with rage. He clenched his weapon tightly and shouted orders: "Extend the line, hold the Beast Wave as long as possible. Every death must have a purpose!"

Stage 4 monsters were too strong. If this kept up, they might not even last until the first group of players died and respawned.

If there was a gap, the city would be destroyed.

The soldiers extended their line, trying their best to hold back the Beast Wave. Some of them, even as they died, would grip a monster tightly. Their bodies were dragged tens of meters before they were resurrected at the altar, vanishing only then.

Players watching from a distance were shocked.

"That’s way too harsh. If you want a fair fight, bring a balanced number of monsters. Having way more and stronger ones is just bullying!"

"There’s nothing we can do about the game mechanics."

"I don’t care about the game. This slaughter of our country’s soldiers is unacceptable. Where’s the Global Guild? Follow me, let’s go out there and stop the Beast Wave!" Someone roared, leading hundreds of players to charge at the Beast Wave, just like the soldiers — a suicide-style defense.

It was Ethan, one of Aaryn’s most trusted subordinates.

Earlier, Johnnie had given him a City Establishment Order. To escape Shawn Family’s control, he didn’t personally start a guild but gave it to Ethan, who founded the Global Guild.

"Damn it, I’m not a wimp. Count me in!" Another player charged without hesitation.

"Damn it, it’s just a game — thirty minutes and I’m back to normal. Let’s go!"

...

The surrounding players became increasingly excited, organizing themselves and charging at the Beast Wave, trying to block it.

Their strength was nowhere near that of the soldiers, but none of them aimed to kill the monsters. They just tried to delay the Beast Wave as much as possible.

The scene was chaotic. More and more players kept coming, and the sounds of monster roars and player screams echoed around, greatly slowing the Beast Wave’s advance.

Dylan was a bit surprised to see players actively blocking the Beast Wave, giving them more time.

"There’s hope!" He felt hope ignite in his heart.

Soon, the first wave of soldiers was wiped out. The next wave rushed in immediately, and they held the line for a full seventeen minutes.

The Beast Wave had only advanced less than fifty meters, still far from the city.

It was lucky that this fourth wave didn’t include flying monsters. Otherwise, even with the players’ suicide attacks, they wouldn’t have been able to stop it.

Roar, roar...

The monsters kept roaring, but their attack was being slowed down by the players and soldiers.

On the edge of the forest, a large number of players still stood by, not taking action.

Most of them were from the Western Alliance.

"Dorian, aren’t you going to act? If we keep delaying like this, we won’t be able to take the city in this fourth wave." a cold-faced young man approached Dorian in the crowd and coldly said.

It was Macbeth from the Apocalypse Group, and he had also arrived here.

"Take your time." Dorian coldly looked at the battlefield and said calmly, "The real show hasn’t started yet. And do you think death in the game has no consequences? I’d like to see how long these soldiers can hold out."

"What do you mean?" Macbeth frowned, staring at him in confusion.

Dorian sneered without explaining, and asked, "Are your people ready?"

Macbeth nodded and replied, "Yeah. They’re all gathered and ready to teleport to Sky Blue City. It’ll take less than twenty minutes to get here and join the battle."

"Good. Let’s just watch for now. This is just the fourth wave of Beast Wave. There’s still another one coming." Dorian said with a sly expression. He didn’t believe the soldiers and players could hold back the Beast Wave attack.

"Another one?" Macbeth was doubtful. He had already learned that when a city was built, it usually faced 3–5 waves of Beast Wave attacks. But for a new village, it usually only had three waves.

He didn’t understand how Dorian was so sure there would be another wave.

What other secrets was this old man hiding?

Macbeth’s eyes flickered. He glanced at Dorian, and there was a flicker of fear in his eyes.

Everyone thought the game Horizon was created by the Apocalypse Group. But only he knew he was just a puppet. The one truly controlling everything behind the scenes was this Dorian.

The man could even threaten the gods...

The battle continued. Soldiers and players were suffering heavy casualties. New players kept coming in to replace the fallen.

Dylan, however, let out a slight sigh of relief. The Beast Wave army’s advance had been severely slowed. The fourth wave had already passed half of its time, and the Beast Wave was still over two hundred meters away from the city. There was still a chance to hold it off until the attack ended.

"Sir!" A soldier ran over in a panic, "Someone fainted and started vomiting blood."

"What? Vomiting blood?" Dylan furrowed his brows, confused.

The soldier quickly explained, "In the real world. A few soldiers fainted and started vomiting blood. They can’t log into the game. We checked their death records — they’re the players with the most deaths."

"Does game death affect the real world?" Dylan immediately felt a bad premonition.

To deal with the Beast Wave attack, the soldiers had already died at least five times.

The soldier nodded and continued, "The doctors checked them out. It’s mental trauma. It can only be recovered slowly."

"Bad news, General!" Dylan quickly said, "Hurry, stop the old general and make him log out."

Liam was old and had always been in poor health. If he suffered mental damage, it could be life-threatening.

The soldier replied, "Don’t worry, sir. We’ve already forced the old general to log out. There’s another thing, the commander told you to set up a Teleportation Array. He’s currently negotiating with other battle zones for support."

"Fine, go find Vivian and have her help set up the Teleportation Array." Dylan ordered immediately.

Because he was worried someone might cause trouble, the city hadn’t set up a Teleportation Array yet. Now that some soldiers had fainted, he had no choice but to ignore the risks.

...

In the dark forest passage.

Johnnie was mercilessly slaughtering the incoming Flame Dragon Servants.

He had already learned about the brutal battle outside, but he couldn’t break free.

The Flame Dragon Servants were powerful. If they broke out of the dark forest passage and scattered, the players wouldn’t be able to stop them. They could easily destroy the city walls and the city’s altar.

"Hope the soldiers can hold out until the fourth wave of Beast Wave ends." Johnnie silently prayed, his attacks never slowing down, as he continued to kill with wild fury.

"Ah, another Epic-level Flame Dragon Servant!" His eyes lit up as he spotted a boss in the Beast Wave army. It was wielding a Dragon Patterned Sword, and he rushed toward it immediately.

Plop!

-982,900

Over 900,000 damage. This hadn’t even triggered a critical hit or a killing blow.

Johnnie’s Great Transformation Sword Technique passive effect kicked in, boosting his damage even further.

The Dragon Patterned Sword roared as a flash of cold light shot out. The Flame Dragon Servant boss let out a painful, high-pitched scream and was instantly killed by the blade.

[Kill Stage 6, Epic Boss Flame Dragon Servant Commander, Gained 14,080 Experience Points]

[Note: Sword Soul Awakening, Can Fight on Its Own]**

The prompt message flashed, and the Dragon Patterned Sword glowed with light. A figure formed – a woman in a golden-red long dress, elegant, noble, and radiating a superior presence.

"The Red Carp pays her respects to my master!" The woman bowed slightly, speaking with respect.

"You’re The Red Carp?" Johnnie was surprised. He sensed a powerful presence from her, not at all inferior to his own.

The Red Carp smiled and nodded, then said, "Thanks to my master, I managed to preserve my remaining soul through the heavenly tribulation, and with the help of the Dragon Patterned Sword, I absorbed the power of the Flame Dragon Servant and fully awakened. Now, the Dragon Patterned Sword has become my true body."

"Can you fight on your own?" Johnnie asked, confused.

The Red Carp nodded and, with a simple gesture, a blade of light shot out, slicing toward a Flame Dragon Servant.

-322

Over 300 damage. Not very high.

But she was still only at Stage 2. The fact that she could even damage a Flame Dragon Servant was already terrifying.

Johnnie was surprised. His Void Sword Soul had also awakened, but it only appeared when he faced threats from the undead.

The Red Carp was different. She was fully awakened, and she could grow and evolve along with the Dragon Patterned Sword.

"I’ll take care of this. I’ll find a way to keep improving your strength." Johnnie waved his hand, and The Red Carp immediately transformed back into the Dragon Patterned Sword, returning to his grip.

He continued to slaughter the Flame Dragon Servants, searching for an Epic-level Flame Dragon Servant leader.

The Dragon Patterned Sword needed to kill 100 Sub-Dragon attribute monsters to level up again.

The number of Flame Dragon Servant leaders here was clearly not enough.
