Chapter 315: The Overwhelming 5th Wave! (2/2)
Bai Xiaofei didn’t know what new measures they’d come up with. All he could do was have a good rest and get ready to fight!
Waiting time always passed slowly. Although not to the point that ‘a day felt like a year,’ it wasn’t exaggerated to use ‘tormenting’ to describe it.
Gradually, Bai Xiaofei could already see his soldiers starting to chat or play something in groups of two and three. Compared to their initial tension, this ease wasn’t a good thing for a battle at all. However, Bai Xiaofei couldn’t stop them, because there was no use in being constantly tense as it would only result in more harm than good.
What Bai Xiaofei didn’t expect, however, was that this wait lasted until the sun went down and the sky was getting dark!
“Light up the whole city wall!” Bai Xiaofei quickly made a decision after smelling a hint of danger. Huge torches were lit one by one.
At the same time, the people watching him in reality sighed at this action.
In fact, Bai Xiaofei would be right to do so if it was reality. However, in the Illusionary Sandboard, this completely defeated the purpose of the 4th level as a ‘benefit level’ and could even lead to defeat!
To carefully consider the conditions for clearance, the criterion for judging whether the city was lost or not actually lay with the civilians. As long as you guaranteed that more than half of the civilians would survive, you would not fail. Meanwhile, the whole ‘benefit’ was attached to the first four waves: each time there were nearly 10,000 enemy troops, and four waves added up to nearly 130,000 troop points! Take it to the next level and it was automatically a pass.
Those who re-challenged the Sandboard to climb the Command Ranking all chose to hide the civilians before the 5th wave and then led their army to abandon the city wall and defend the entrance gate until the end of the night. Even Sima Ye was no exception.
Why? It wasn’t because they didn’t want to make an effort and win it normally, but that the 5th wave was a f*cking BUG! It wasn’t the kind of attack that the challenger’s accumulation from the first three levels could deal with. There were only three words to describe it – Overwhelming in number!
And it was exactly what Bai Xiaofei was seeing now.
Just now, he had suddenly felt that something was very wrong. Looking into the distance, the dark night sky had shrouded everything, so he ordered a wave of fire arrows to be fired…
Then, he saw so many soldiers that his scalp tingled!
After the fire arrows lit the sky, the enemy soldiers simply gave up stealthing and rushed over in the same way as the 4th wave while shouting slogans, but this time their density was nothing that the 4th wave could compare to.
Moreover, their catapults already had the city walls in their range of attack, plus with their terrifying number of 20 on each side, the first wave of boulders came crashing down like a meteor storm!
“Stick to the wall!!!!”
This was the only sentence Bai Xiaofei could shout out.
