Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Looking at the endless sea of ​​black cockroaches below the city wall, and the words "[Twenty-fifth Floor Guardian, Proliferating G]" above his head.

Coconut Latte panicked instantly and instinctively grabbed Kirito's arm: "Boss, what should we do? This...this is way too much!"

Where had he ever seen such a scene?

Before this, he would avoid elite monsters whenever he saw them, let alone layer guardian-level bosses.

The sea of ​​cockroaches before my eyes was like a moving black mountain range; just looking at it made my scalp tingle.

Kirito said calmly, "Don't panic, our guild leader is here to protect us."

Upon hearing this, Coconut Latte calmed down.

Yeah, anyway, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

Upon hearing their conversation, Tilberu couldn't help but glare at them, but remained silent.

Actually, he wasn't sure either!

The cockroaches were densely packed around the city, leaving no gaps. Even if he wanted to order a charge, there was nowhere to land below.

In this situation, launching a rash attack is no different from suicide.

After thinking for a moment, he felt it would be safer to hand over the 'decision-making power' back.

Then he smiled at the coconut latte and said, "It's best if you, as the 'leader' who initiated this, make the decision yourself."

"Huh? Me?" Coconut Latte was stunned.

He scratched his head, looked at the sea of ​​cockroaches below the city wall, then glanced at the expectant eyes around him, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke uncertainly: "Then...then let's attack?"

Although it was a command with questions lingering, some people still responded eagerly.

The players closest to the coconut latte couldn't contain their excitement any longer. Upon hearing the word "attack," they immediately ran towards the edge of the city wall.

"Charge! Fight those cockroaches!"

They leaped off the city wall, which was more than ten meters high, and their black figures instantly fell into the sea of ​​cockroaches below.

Once there's a first one, there will be a second and a third.

Then, dozens of players jumped off the city wall one after another, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water, their shouts rising and falling in waves:

"What the hell are we afraid of! Let's charge in first!"

"I came here prepared to die, if I don't charge, who will?"

"Okay, I'll rush!"

These players wore expressions of resignation, almost as if they were going to their deaths.

Upon seeing this, Tilberu exclaimed, "What's the difference between this and courting death?!"

But no one listened to his advice; the players had already fallen into a sea of ​​cockroaches.

Helpless, Tilberu could only lie down by the city wall and peer down.

Upon seeing this, his eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief.

The cockroaches that were just huddled around the city wall and gnawing on it were smashed into mincemeat by dozens of players!

At the same time, a gap was torn open in the sea of ​​cockroaches!

As soon as the players landed, they immediately drew their weapons and began hacking wildly at the surrounding cockroaches, and they actually managed to gain a foothold in the sea of ​​cockroaches!

"There's such a thing?!" Tilberu exclaimed in disbelief.

He never imagined that what seemed like a reckless leap would turn into a stroke of divine justice.

But his excitement didn't last long before his expression turned serious again.

There were so many cockroaches that a black 'tide' kept surging towards the breach.

The players were quickly overwhelmed by the cockroaches, with only occasional flashes of sword light visible, clearly indicating they wouldn't last much longer.

"We can't let them sacrifice in vain!" Tilberu made a decisive decision, turning to the eight hundred elite soldiers behind him and ordering, "Everyone, charge down and hold the breach!"

The legion's players immediately sprang into action, moving toward the edge of the city wall, hands on their weapons, ready to jump at any moment.

Just then, Tilberu suddenly added, "Use your shields! Everyone, take out your shields and face down!"

Everyone instantly understood their leader's intentions.

The shield not only cushions the impact upon landing but also increases the contact area with cockroaches, allowing it to kill more cockroaches at once upon impact.

"Understood!" the Legion players responded in unison.

Then they all took out the large shields from their backs, adjusted their positions, and jumped off the city wall.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of dull thuds followed as the Legion players' shields slammed heavily into the sea of ​​cockroaches.

The black cockroaches were instantly crushed to death in droves, and then large numbers of them turned into fragments and disappeared.

Every time a legion player lands, they clear a small open space. As more and more legion members join, a five-meter-wide space for movement is actually created under the city wall!

The players on the city wall cheered upon seeing this: "It worked! No wonder he's the guild leader!"

So they started to follow suit.

Players without shields can take out their life-size greatswords, grip the hilts with both hands, hold the blade horizontally in front of them, and smash the cockroaches with the blades when they land.

Some players even went so far as to pounce on all fours like wild animals, crushing the cockroaches with their bodies.

Although this method involves direct contact between their face and the cockroaches, and the sticky sensation is unsettling, they don't care about that when it comes to fighting.

Soon, someone came up with an even more ingenious method.

He leaped off the city wall, spreading his arms wide in a starfish shape as he stretched his body in mid-air.

This not only maximizes the contact area but also avoids direct contact between the body and cockroaches, allowing you to kill a whole group of cockroaches with just your back.

"This method is good!"

More and more players followed suit, and nearly 70% of the players on the city wall joined the battle.

Black figures kept leaping down from the city wall, like streaks of black lightning, crashing into the swarm of cockroaches to join the battle.

The remaining players, out of fear, never dared to take a step.

They stared at the 'cockroach carpet' below the city wall, their faces pale, but they simply didn't have the courage to jump.

Seeing this, Tilberu did not force the issue.

After all, these players were recruited voluntarily, and the fact that 70% of them participated exceeded his expectations.

Instead of that, he turned his gaze to the 'black-clad swordsman' beside him who hadn't made a move.

His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you join the fight?"

Kirito glanced at him and retorted, "Didn't you also not participate in the battle?"

Tilberu immediately retorted, "I am the legion commander. I need to stay on the city wall to oversee the overall situation and issue orders. If I join the battle, who will command? Him?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the innocent-looking coconut latte standing to the side.

When Coconut Latte was called upon, she immediately waved her hands nervously: "I...I don't know how to give instructions!"

Kirito smiled and said, "It seems like it's not impossible."

Tilberu was almost laughing in exasperation.

He looked Kirito up and down, as if he had thought of something: "Could it be that the dignified 'Black Swordsman' has found that swords are ineffective against a swarm of cockroaches, and you happen to not have a shield in your backpack?"
