Attack the four main cities! (5000)

Upon hearing Cao Xing's final words, Assam and the others were instantly struck with immense shock!

Previously, they had only heard that Cao Xing intended to target the four legions of Divine Servants.

But they never expected him to be this aggressive.

He had just wiped out four million Divine Servant legions, and now, he was actually going to launch an offensive against the four major cities!

This was truly insane!

However, Cao Xing knew that this was his opportunity!

Even if he wiped out the Divine Servant legions, he still wouldn't be able to stop these Survivors from destroying the crystals.

At the current rate, they definitely wouldn't last until the final day.

Therefore, he had to take a desperate gamble!

"You destroy my crystals, and I will overthrow your major cities; no one is going to have a good time!"

Now, it was just a matter of who was faster.

Although the four individuals were shocked upon hearing the order, they executed it without any hesitation.

They then began to lead the armies behind them, charging toward the four different directions: east, west, south, and north!

"Rumble!"

Over a billion Branded Monsters also split into four groups, charging forward in a massive, overwhelming tide.

Even from a bird's-eye view, shrunk down by a factor of 100,000, one could still see the figures of these marching Branded Monsters.

The ground trembled slightly due to their movement…

The Survivors watching the live stream once again had looks of confusion in their eyes.

"Where are these Branded Monsters going?"

"Where else could it be? Obviously, they're going back to guard the crystals."

"That's right. I've noticed that during this time, the various crystals haven't had many monsters defending them, and quite a few have already been destroyed."

"If this continues, I estimate that tens of thousands of crystals will be destroyed within just today."

Everyone followed the direction the Branded Monsters were moving, shifting their perspectives.

However, they discovered that the direction these monsters were moving in was not toward the locations near the Dragon Crystals at all.

Instead, they were heading toward the four cardinal directions—east, west, south, and north!

At this moment, all the Survivors seemed to realize something.

The barrage of comments in the live stream gradually died down.

A dangerous thought involuntarily emerged in many people's minds, and a chill crept up their spines!

When the massive swarm of Branded Monsters arrived near the four major cities at top speed…

They finally confirmed their suspicions!

At that moment, the barrage in the live stream instantly erupted!

"Holy sh*t! These monsters are going to attack the four major cities!"

"They're crazy! Crazy! Great Lord Cao Xing has completely lost his mind!"

"He's going to offend the Survivors of the four major factions to death!"

Indeed, if this operation succeeded, Cao Xing would be successful.

It could be said that he would have offended the four major factions beyond redemption!

Although they didn't currently know what would happen if a major city were destroyed…

…they didn't need to think twice to know the consequences would be extremely severe.

It was even possible that all the Survivors from the four major factions would be kicked out of the Battle of the Oracle!

Once this news broke, it spread instantly like a hurricane!

All the Survivors received the news that Cao Xing was already leading a massive army to attack their major cities.

Once again, looks of bewilderment appeared in everyone's eyes.

"What the hell? Did I hear that right? Cao Xing is leading troops to attack the major cities?"

"Can a major city even be taken down by Branded Monsters?"

"I must be going crazy…"

Everyone felt it was unbelievable; it was truly beyond their imagination.

However, the massive, overwhelming tide of Branded Monsters below was already approaching the giant city walls, which stood hundreds of meters tall.

At this moment, someone else asked.

"Brothers, what will happen if the major city is destroyed?"

"I don't know…"

"By the way, what should we do now? Should we continue to flatten these crystals, or go back to defend the city?"

Everyone was bewildered, and for a moment, no one could make up their mind.

It was unlikely that anyone would have expected such a thing to happen during the Battle of the Oracle.

"Seriously, guys? Weren't we all happily grinding away?"

"How come you just went straight to sneak-attack our home base?"

Amidst their bewildered gazes…

…the massive swarm of Branded Monsters had already arrived at the gates of the four major cities.

There were still some Survivors left inside, and upon seeing the massive swarm of Branded Monsters, looks of terror instantly appeared in their eyes.

"Holy sh*t! Those Branded Monsters are here! Brothers, run!"

In an instant, the Survivors inside began to flee frantically, and the place descended into chaos!

At this moment, Cao Xing gave the order without almost any hesitation.

"Attack."

"Raze these four major cities to the ground for me!"

The moment they received the order!

The massive swarm of Branded Monsters surged through the wide city gates like a tidal wave, pouring into the major cities!

"Rumble!"

The ground was shaking violently!

In an instant, countless Branded Minotaurs and Branded Cutters had occupied the wide streets.

And the moment they entered, they began to display their destructive power.

"Moo— Moo—"

Bursts of bovine bellows rang out!

A large number of Minotaurs charged wildly, causing various massive buildings to shake continuously as they slammed into them.

Once their durability hit zero, they collapsed on the spot!

Furthermore, any Survivors encountered along the way were, almost the moment they made contact, sent flying by the massive number of Branded Monsters and then directly trampled to death.

And there was something even more terrifying!

That was, after they were trampled to death, they would respawn, still in the vicinity of the major city!

In other words, they would soon be killed a second time.

And once their respawn count was exhausted, they would be kicked out of the Battle of the Oracle.

At this moment, terror appeared in the eyes of the Survivors in all four major cities simultaneously!

They shouted almost at the top of their lungs in the chat channel.

"Holy sh*t! Get the f*ck back here!"

"This is our respawn point! If it gets taken down by these Branded Monsters, and they just camp the major city, we're all f*cking done for!"

A brief silence fell across the four major factions, and then they simultaneously realized this point.

"Damn! It seems so! The major city is our respawn point!"

"If the respawn point is gone, how are we supposed to play?"

"Damn it, stop attacking the crystals! Hurry back to defend! Hurry back to defend!"

But at this point, even though they had realized it, it was too late.

In the sky, countless Branded Bombardiers and Branded Winged Birds had already soared over the hundreds-of-meters-high city walls, entering the city to wreak havoc!

The massive body of a Hydra rampaged through the streets.

Building after building was directly demolished, and a large number of Survivors were killed on the spot, subsequently leaving the Battle of the Oracle.

These cleared-out Survivors had intense looks of unwillingness in their eyes!

With a shift in consciousness, they had already returned to their own territories.

"Cao Xing! Damn you!"

"Cao Xing, you're really not human!"

Meanwhile, Cao Xing did not know how many Survivors he had cleared out of the Battle of the Oracle.

Because his screen was being flooded by system notifications.

[You controlled the Branded Monsters and destroyed an ordinary residential house in the Devina Major City. You have made a minor contribution to the Dragon Faction. Points +10]

[You controlled the Branded Monsters and destroyed an ordinary training facility in the Melandru Major City. You have made a slight contribution to the Dragon Faction. Points +30]

[You controlled the Branded Monsters…]

…

"Hahaha! Holy sh*t! Destroying these buildings in the major city actually gives points too? This is way too f*cking satisfying, isn't it?"

A look of pleasant surprise appeared in Cao Xing's eyes!

He had previously wiped out the four-million-strong Divine Servant army and had already obtained four million points.

If he could also obtain points by destroying the major cities now…

Calculating it this way, his point gains for today would exceed imagination!

Cao Xing's breathing quickened.

For a while, he controlled the Branded Monsters to destroy things even more vigorously.

Within just a few short minutes, a large number of buildings in the four major cities were destroyed.

System notifications appeared!

[Attention, Survivors of the four major factions! Attention, Survivors of the four major factions!]

[Branded Monsters have launched a massive offensive against the four major cities. Destruction progress has exceeded 20%. Please return to defend immediately! Please return to defend immediately!]

[If the major city is destroyed, you will be unable to continue respawning. After dying again, you will leave the Battle of the Oracle.]

…

Upon seeing this notification.

Everyone felt a sense of crisis emerge in their hearts!

"Holy sh*t! Even the system notification has appeared!"

"If the major city is gone, we're going to be directly cleared out of the Battle of the Oracle!"

"Damn it, hurry back to defend!"

They never expected that the situation, which had been going well, would suddenly take a sharp turn for the worse in just one morning!

In an instant, the Survivors of the four major factions were driven mad with anxiety!

If this continued, once the major city was gone, all of them would have to end their Battle of the Oracle.

Forget about any extra point rewards; they wouldn't get anything at all!

"Rumble!"

A large number of Survivors charged toward the four major cities at the fastest speed possible!

Including those in the top ten and top one hundred of the leaderboard, everyone was now completely anxious.

These people had obtained a large amount of points on the Battle of the Oracle battlefield in a short time, and their strength had improved rapidly.

Now that only half the time had passed, they were suddenly about to be cleared out, and everyone found it hard to accept.

At the same time, in her heart, she hated that man to death.

Even Angelina, who had previously had contact with Cao Xing, had an incredibly solemn look in her eyes at this moment.

"Cao Xing… truly is a man beyond imagination."

"I thought that under the pursuit of the Divine Servant Legions, you would fade into obscurity."

"I didn't expect you to give us such a big 'surprise'!"

On the other side, Ji Xinyue and Yao Yiming did not look panicked at all; instead, a smile gradually appeared on their lips.

"He is truly worthy of being called Great Lord Cao Xing!"

"Even in such an unfavorable situation, he can still turn defeat into victory. He's too amazing!"

Even the white-haired woman, Bai Zhi, was sighing with emotion at this moment.

"An incredible man…"

"After today, I reckon everyone will remember your name."

They had no choice but to remember!

With his own strength, he wiped out the four major Divine Servant Legions and attacked the four major main cities.

This kind of thing is just absurd—it's absurd to the extreme!

I estimate that even many years from now, they will not forget this day!

At this moment, Cao Xing was unaware of their discussion about him.

He was still controlling a massive number of Branded Monsters, frantically destroying the buildings inside.

Those Survivors were frantically shouting before they even rushed over.

"Damn it, Great Lord Cao Xing, stop demolishing!"

"What the hell, I just went out to farm some points, and my home got stolen!"

"Great Lord Cao Xing, please show mercy!"

Many people were frantically tagging Cao Xing on the World Channel, asking him not to continue demolishing the main city.

However, he could not stop.

After all, destroying these main cities could still earn him points; this was a pretty good job.

A large number of Branded Monsters were frantically launching attacks.

The Hydras were constantly causing destruction.

The progress of the main city's destruction was rising rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it reached 25%… 30%… 40%…

A large number of buildings inside had already been destroyed. Based on the current situation, in the next few hours, this group of Branded Monsters would be able to raze the main city to the ground!

As they watched, the army of Branded Monsters had already arrived in front of the four statues in the city.

Just as they were about to launch an attack, a feeling of palpitation suddenly appeared in Cao Xing's heart!

It was as if a vast power was about to awaken within the four major main cities!

This power seemed capable of wiping out all the Branded Monsters in the main city in an instant!

Realizing the danger, Cao Xing quickly gave an order.

"Muxue, Bjorn, Assam, Bing Lan, do not attack that statue!"

The moment they heard the order, the four of them stopped their actions simultaneously.

Even the attacks from the Branded Monsters stopped.

Then, Cao Xing continued to order: "You all, lead all the Branded Monster Bombardiers and Branded Winged Birds to the city walls, and have the Branded Hydras guard the city gate!"

"Today, we will block the city gate right here and trap them outside!"

Although he couldn't raze the main city in one go.

However, Cao Xing could still cause massive damage to the Survivors!

The moment they received the order, the four of them responded simultaneously and began to act.

A large number of Branded Monsters had already rushed onto the city walls!

And the vast army of Survivors in the distance had already rushed back!

They were just about to get close and rush into the main city to deal with those Branded Monsters!

However, they were met with concentrated fire from a massive number of Branded Winged Birds and Branded Hydras!

"Boom!"

These Branded Monsters' attacks landed in the crowd, exploding like cannonballs!

In an instant, a large number of corpses appeared on the open ground below the city wall.

Those Survivor Lords hadn't even reacted before they suddenly discovered that they had respawned inside the main city.

At this moment, they suddenly realized something.

"Holy crap! These Branded Monsters aren't demolishing the city; they've started defending it!"

"What the hell, are they not planning to return the main city to us?"

The Survivors of the four major factions were all plunged into confusion.

And the live broadcast room was flooded with a massive amount of bullet comments.

"Damn, I'm actually impressed, hahahaha!"

"Great Lord Cao Xing is too ruthless; not only did he steal someone else's home, but he's also spawn-camping them!"

"If I were a Survivor from the four major factions, I'd probably be pissed to death!"

"…"

Compared to the various mockery of Cao Xing in the live broadcast room over the past few days.

Now, it could be said to be full of admiration.

After all, for the Survivors outside, they hadn't joined any faction, so they didn't care which side won.

As long as they saw whose performance was dazzling enough, it would naturally attract massive attention.

Meanwhile.

Below the four major main cities, more and more Survivors arrived.

Under the constant urging of system prompts, these people began to frantically charge at the main city!

However, at this moment, Cao Xing already held the geographical advantage.

Since ancient times, attacking a city has always been more difficult than defending one.

Furthermore, these Branded Monsters of Cao Xing were higher in level than the Survivors on the field and coordinated more closely.

It could be said that the initiative was now completely in his hands.

"Boom! Boom!"

The various long-range attacks of the Branded Monsters were almost continuous.

Like tens of millions of machine guns and cannons, they were bombarding the area below the city walls!

The area two or three kilometers below had been completely covered by firepower!

No matter what level of Survivor they were, as long as they stepped into this area, they would be subjected to massive attacks!

No matter how many life-saving means you have, as long as you aren't invincible, you cannot withstand this level of concentrated fire.

In the blink of an eye, countless Survivors had already been blasted to death, using up one resurrection chance!

And even more terrifying was the fact that…

After they were blasted to death, they had just respawned in the main city, only to be immediately trampled to death by the massive number of Branded Monsters!

Then they received a system prompt.

[Your resurrection count has been exhausted. You are now being teleported back to the Main Plane…]

…

When the biting cold struck, it also made these Survivors instantly snap back to reality!

They realized a terrifying fact.

That was—

They… had been eliminated!

On the 16th day of the Battle of the Oracle, they had been directly eliminated!

For a time, a large number of Survivors were cursing furiously in the chat channel.

"@Cao Xing, you bastard!"

"@Cao Xing! Damn it, you're simply not human!"

"You goddamn guy! I was just sleeping in my room, and you cleared me out of the Battle of the Oracle!"

"…"

It could be said that these people who had been cleared out already hated Cao Xing to death in their hearts.

And at this moment, Cao Xing was busy controlling the Branded Monsters to blast these Survivors; he had no time to check the chat channel.

"Comforting, I've earned quite a few points again," Cao Xing sighed with emotion.

"However, this time, the creatures of the four major factions killed by those Branded Monsters didn't earn me any extra points."

He felt a little regretful in his heart.

Meanwhile.

After more than ten minutes of the siege, at least five or six hundred thousand Survivor Lords had left the Battle of the Oracle after their resurrection counts were exhausted.

Counting their subordinate legions, that meant at least tens of millions of people had disappeared.

For a time, the battlefield below the four major main cities gradually calmed down.

Because these Survivors no longer dared to attack.

They stood in an area more than three kilometers away from the main city, all with anxious looks on their faces.

"Damn it, what do we do now?"

"I don't know, these Branded Monsters seized the main city and occupied the geographical advantage."

"With such high walls, except for some special creatures with flight abilities, we can't jump over them at all, and we can't climb up either."

"We can only enter from the main city gate!"

However, when they saw the massive number of Branded Monsters at the gate, everyone's hearts grew heavier.

Looking up again and seeing the overwhelming number of flying Branded Monsters overhead, they felt even more powerless.

Meanwhile, a Lord ranked in the top 100 on the leaderboard said.

"Brothers, in this situation, we can only force our way in by sacrificing our lives to take down the main city!"

"The number of Survivor Lords and their combat personnel in our four major main cities is more than ten times that of the monsters in the city!"

"If everyone charges together, we can definitely take it back."

And hearing this, another existence who was also in the top 100 said.

"Brother Velik, what you said does make sense."

"However, if we force our way in with our lives, how many people will have to die to take down the main city?"

"Or rather, how many of us will be cleared out of the Battle of the Oracle?"

…
