No amount of resources could make up for it given their strength.
Being able to participate in this ranking competition was actually quite good.
After chatting casually for a while and exchanging experiences with the monsters they encountered, Sushing Yu found that the situations were quite similar with no significant differences.
So they all started watching the videos.
Sushing Yu scanned the videos on the screen, selecting those that interested him.
If something was particularly engaging, he would focus his mind and directly enter the battle to observe.
Before he knew it, time flew by.
More and more players completed the challenge and arrived in outer space, including some who performed poorly.
They were unable to quickly clear the monster army, leading to an increasing number of monsters, ultimately resulting in their failure.
However, the failures were ultimately very few.
Regular players, whether through extermination or holding out, completed the first wave challenge.
The countdown quickly reached zero.
System prompt.
The first wave of monster challenges has ended.
In the Eastern District, a total of 27.
654 players participated and 24 521 players successfully passed the challenge and entered the next wave.
Chapter 153.
Tower of darkness.
Undead explosion.
System prompt.
The second wave of shadow warriors has appeared.
Please players to slay them all or hold out until time runs out.
Second wave.
18.
Time 720 0 0 0.
The war has reignited, but the citizens of the Eternal Knight Empire have long been prepared.
Or rather, they have been anticipating the arrival of chaos.
Therefore, facing the second wave of shadow monsters, they remain very calm, with some even appearing overly excited.
As a system prompt sounds, the second wave of monsters emerges from the mist wall at the Empire's border.
The first batch of monsters that step out are predominantly tier three in extraordinary rank, but compared to those from the first wave, they're clearly stronger, qualifying them as player pawns.
And it doesn't stop there.
After the tier three warrior monsters appear, three tier four legions follow, and in some areas, even tier five legions pop up.
The leader of the monstrous army remains at the epic tier 7 rank and has not been upgraded to tier eight, which relieves many players.
As for sushing you, he is somewhat indifferent.
As long as the monsters everyone encounters are of the same rank, he doesn't care whether they are tier 7 or tier eight.
Compared to the first wave of monstrous armies, the second wave is indeed stronger.
This strength is not only an extraordinary rank, but also in weaponry, equipment, and troop composition.
The first wave's monstrous army was chaotic with outdated weaponry and nonsensical troop configurations.
The second wave is clearly better with at least three basic troop types, infantry, cavalry, and archers.
So there is no need to worry about being specifically targeted.
The powerful monstrous army brings considerable pressure to many players.
Is it a bit exaggerated to have so many mid-tier legions? Mid tier is a threshold, especially for legions.
In one-on-one battles, there might be exceptionally talented individuals who can reverse the tide using their stronger foundation to defeat mid-tier extraordinary foes.
But for legions, that is absolutely impossible.
Just surviving without being cut down is already impressive.
Although the second wave of monstrous army is stronger, it is still easily crushed by the Eternal Knight Empire.
They are even too lazy to engage, merely forming a defensive formation and watching as the skeleton army besieges the monstrous army.
All the monster spawn points are surrounded by at least hundreds of thousands of skeleton soldiers.
And these are elite skeleton warriors who have undergone training and consumed the flames of souls.
Since this is just the shadow world, Sushing Yu has relaxed his control over his subordinates, allowing them to wreak havoc.
Thus, the already somewhat deranged dark sorcerers and lich priests naturally won't miss this rare opportunity.
They transform all the bodies into skeleton warriors and within the 20 days of challenge completion, have them fight and devour each other.
The surviving skeletons, having consumed the flames of souls from their companions and absorbed their bodies, have all received significant enhancements.
And in terms of strength, they're already comparable to their former selves.
The second wave of monstrous army is powerful but also miserable.
Aside from the sea monsters at H Higho, other monster warriors have not even seen the shadows of the border city before being killed by the skeleton army.
This situation gives one feeling of utter despair.
The opponents keep increasing while their own companions are dwindling.
They don't even see the shadows of their targets before being wiped out.
The bodies left behind by the fallen monster warriors are transformed into skeleton soldiers, replenishing the skeleton army, which then joins the siege against the monstrous army.
After a battle, the number of skeleton soldiers often increases rather than decreases.
Except for the last batch of monsters that appeared as tier six legions, which slightly surprised Sushing Yu.
Everything else proceeded according to his expectations.
That tier six legion was ultimately dismantled by more than a dozen tier 7 super skeletons supported by elite skeleton cavalry.
Then under the siege of numerous skeleton warriors, this tier 6 monster legion ultimately met its demise in the northwest.
At that time, they were less than 300 m from breaking through the skeleton army's defenses and facing the warriors of the eternal knight empire directly.
Familiar with the process, Sushing Yu's speed in clearing the level improved significantly this time.
He completed the second wave challenge in less than 6 days.
Eternal Knight progress second wave 88.
Score 1 272 341.
System prompt.
Player Eternal Knight has completed the trial.
You are the seventh player in the Eastern District to complete the second wave trial.
System prompt.
You may choose to go to the outer space to watch the battle.
Yes.
No, outer space.
Many figures stand here, most of whom were eliminated in the first wave, numbering in the thousands.
Additionally, a few individuals stand out as they are players who completed the second wave challenge early.
One of them is a familiar face to Sue Shing Yu, Guang Hoe.
The blood god has not yet arrived, indicating that the second wave of monster challenges is indeed somewhat troublesome.
Upon seeing Su Shingu enter, Guanghoi's face breaks into a smile.
The two exchange a glance and nod slightly to greet each other, then continue watching the video.
Time passes slowly and more players appear in outer space.
Some succeed in their challenges while others fail.
By the time the final moments arrive, nearly half of the players have been eliminated at this stage, including two familiar to Sue Shingu, the Apothecary, and the Black Merchant.
Sushing Yu is not surprised by this.
The two managed to withstand the first wave of monster onslaught thanks to a large number of purchased items and the strength accumulated over the years which is already quite impressive.
However, to get through the second wave s onslaught players really need some ability.
External help is ultimately limited.
Only one's own strength is eternal.
Developing tribes based on kinship is the true path.
Relying on those special items may provide temporary power, but as time goes on, they will ultimately be eliminated.
Apart from the black merchant duo, all eight members of Blood Dawn pass the second wave and qualify for the third wave trial.
And this is not even their limit.
System prompt.
The second wave monster challenge has ended.
In the Eastern District, a total of 24 521 players participated with 15 234 players successfully challenging and entering the next wave.
The third wave trial soon begins.
This time, the monster warriors that appear generally reach tier 4 with many tier five legions and several tier six legions.
