Dark Sand: My Players Are All Actors-Chapter 558 - 281: The Giantization Rankings_3
Even if all the soldiers fought bravely, it was useless, for two fists cannot match four hands.
Evidently, no demon could have imagined that their own cavalry, despite having a numerical advantage, would be thoroughly trounced by the players’ cavalry and musketeers, leaving them with no ability to fight back!
Finally, after a bloody battle, the players had nearly wiped out most of the demons’ cavalry that had come to intercept them.
The ground was littered with a large number of demon corpses, most of which had died from the bombardment of tiger squat cannons, while the rest were killed by the players’ musket-mounted cavalry charges or cavalry charges.
In fact, the killing power of the cavalry players was still considerable, but in this kind of positional warfare, firearms proved to be much stronger than the spears in their hands.
"Continue!"
Although there were still some barbarian soldiers resisting, the players were no longer in the mood to fight.
After all, this was not a real battlefield.
If it were a real battlefield, they would definitely pursue a complete annihilation, as every head counted as military merit, and pursuing the enemy when their morale had utterly collapsed was almost like picking up freehead.
But fighting against demons was different.
Even though the demon’s army had already lost most of its strength, the individuals still stubbornly resisted. To the players, these individual demons, while not difficult to eliminate, were very time-consuming.
And to truly defeat the demons, they needed to quickly weaken the demons’ strength, fighting these remnant soldiers to the death was pointless.
Cavalry players once again charged into the military formation, while Divine Machine players gathered their muskets and various equipment back into the Divine Machine box, mounted their horses again, and advanced towards the large demon army.
...
Meanwhile, the siege of Linyuan City had also reached its climax.
The demons’ controlled Jin soldiers and barbarians were still pressing forward like a tide, and after successive fierce battles, the bodies of demons had piled up under the two Guard Cities.
However, this did not pose any hindrance to the demons; rather, these bodies had filled up the moat and even formed a slope.
The subsequent demons simply stepped on the bodies of other demons and continued to assault the city!
This was a bit tricky for the players.
After all, the disparity in numbers was too great, and in the face of demons determined to attack, it was very difficult for the two Guard Cities to hold indefinitely.
The terrain of Linyuan City was perfect, making it virtually impossible for demons to pile up bodies and climb over. However, the defenses of the two Guard Cities were, after all, considerably weaker than those of Linyuan City, and under the fierce attack of the demons, they were already trembling.
More demons had directly bypassed the two Guard Cities and were marching densely and massive towards Linyuan City.
Xingtian and Feilian were hidden in the dark clouds above, overlooking the situation of the battlefield.
"It’s about time, 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Prepare to concentrate our forces, break the city!"
In the sky, Feilian soared past, then continued to sprinkle Demonic Qi over the battlefield.
Meanwhile, the demon soldiers at the front line of the siege instantly fell in droves. Their bodies gradually withered, as if their strength had been drained.
Correspondingly, the bodies of some individual demon soldiers swiftly inflated, becoming mini giants about four to five meters tall!
"Roar!"
These enlarged demon soldiers let out a roar, grabbed a demon soldier from the ground, and hurled it towards the city wall. Then, they grabbed the edges of the city wall with both hands, their fingers even attempting to insert into the crevices of the wall, beginning to climb.
"Hurry, the cannon!"
The players hastily swung the cannon around to aim at these giant demon soldiers, but these demons’ defenses had obviously been strengthened. Although the hasty cannon fire did damage these demons, they still successfully climbed up the city walls.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, the giant demon soldier’s palm directly smacked the cannon, sending it flying.
"What do we do?"
The players were a bit panicked.
Actually, they had encountered giant barbarians before, but the situation at that time was not as tense, and they could completely rely on cannons and other heavy weaponry to solve the problem.
But now, as the demon soldiers swarmed the city, the situation had unexpectedly spiraled out of control.
Just then, a leaderboard suddenly appeared in the players’ field of view.
It was the ranking of all players’ kill contributions from the beginning of the Return Order Expedition until now.
Moreover, this leaderboard was split into three different battlefields: Linyuan City, Guard City, and field battles, highlighting the top-ranked player in each.
The moment the leaderboard appeared, Zhao Haiping, who was commanding the battle on the city walls, suddenly swelled in size, transforming into a giant about seven to eight meters tall!
After being stunned for a moment, Zhao Haiping quickly reacted, grabbing his war blade and leaping down from the city wall!
His heavy war blade chopped downward at the climbing demon soldiers, slicing it cleanly from head to tail!
Then, Zhao Haiping charged into the demon army, his long blade sweeping through, instantly mowing down swathes of demons like cutting leeks!
On the field battlefield, Fan Cun, who was also charging, suddenly swelled up along with his horse, becoming immensely huge, with both rider and horse reaching over ten meters.
Just the gallop of the battle horse was enough to trample many demons to death.
Moreover, the players discovered that the list was still changing.
After Zhao Haiping and others had enlarged, their scores on the leaderboard were already continuously decaying, and there was a countdown.
That is, after the countdown ended, they would return to normal.
And the player who was originally second on the leaderboard would continue to enlarge and fight the demons.
The players instantly became excited.
We have a part in this too!
Originally, everyone thought that such an opportunity to demonstrate their prowess was only for top players like Zhao Haiping, as concentrating power on them could ensure stronger combat effectiveness.
But the current arrangement gave players at the top of the leaderboard their moment in the spotlight, and it motivated them even more!
The players instantly became like wolves spotting meat, their eyes red as they slaughtered the demons, desperately boosting their scores and rankings on the leaderboard!
