Even with a single drop of blood, I will still be invincible!

[Announcement from the Sakura Kingdom: A ferocious beast tide is approaching; the city defense battle has officially begun.] x5

[Announcement from the Sakura Kingdom: City leaderboards and the Kingdom's overall leaderboard are now open. After successfully repelling the beast tide, the top three players on each city leaderboard will receive extra rewards, while the top three on the overall leaderboard will receive even more generous rewards. Players are urged to fight bravely!] x5

[Note: Dealing damage equal to 20% of the target's health to any ferocious beast will earn you points.]

[Announcement from the Sakura Kingdom: Orochi has personally led his army of ferocious beasts to the vicinity of the capital. If the capital falls, all players will have their level reduced by 100 and all attributes permanently reduced by 50%.] x5

"Roar!!!"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Sakura Kingdom, and at the same time, a series of system announcements rang in the ears of all players.

Faced with the new expansion pack featuring the approaching beast tide, the Sakura players showed no excitement, only despair.

"It's finally here. Has everyone hidden themselves well?"

"I hid in the underground cellar of the pub for men and women, hoping to survive."

“I spent five hundred gold coins to bribe my way into a temporary job cleaning toilets in the city lord’s mansion. If even I die, our city is doomed.”

"What?! There's such a thing?!"

"Doesn't anyone want to earn points? There are rewards for the top three."

"There are rewards, but do you even have the life to claim them? The ferocious beasts are at least level 120, their defenses are impenetrable, so who can possibly get the points?"

"Hehe, now I just hope the locals in the Sakura Kingdom can step up their game, otherwise it's really over."

"It should be able to hold them off, right? I see there are a lot more defensive structures on the city walls now, with several times more arrow towers and cannons than usual!"

"Yes, all the hidden magic towers in the city have appeared. If this still can't stop them, then they can only accept their bad luck."

"It's all Bai Ye's fault! If it weren't for him, how could an expansion of this magnitude have been released so soon?!"

"Is it possible that this expansion was originally scheduled to be released in the mid-to-late game, and now we are unable to help, and the locals alone are simply not enough to stop the beast tide?"

……

In each city, the players had already found hiding places in advance.

It wasn't that they were unwilling to resist, but rather that they were too weak.

Facing ferocious beasts of at least level 120, they could only kill them, and were unable to inflict any damage whatsoever.

Therefore, players who are hiding can only vent their frustration and fear through public chat channels.

The skilled martial artists and city guards in the city had already taken to the city walls, weapons in hand, ready for battle.

A much denser protective barrier than usual enveloped each city, forming the first line of defense against the ferocious beast tide.

The barrier will block the attacks of the ferocious beasts, but attacks from inside the city can penetrate the barrier and strike the attacking army of ferocious beasts.

On the city walls, countless defensive structures had already been fully charged, just waiting for the beast tide to arrive.

Rumble…

The earth began to tremble slightly.

As time went on, the tremors became increasingly intense.

"coming!"

"Everyone prepare!"

"City guards, listen to my command! Defensive forces, listen to my command! Once the beast horde enters firing range, unleash full firepower immediately!"

……

On the horizon, dust filled the air, the result of the stampede of countless beasts.

Smoke and dust billowed in, approaching the city wall at an extremely fast speed.

"Roar!!!"

"You guys, kill!"

"Break the city, eat meat! Whoever grabs it first gets to keep it!"

……

The deafening roars of the beasts echoed throughout the city, and the leaders of the various ferocious beast armies roared angrily, leading countless beasts to charge towards the city ahead!

"Magic Tower!"

With a command given, the magic tower with the longest range opened fire first.

boom! boom! boom!

As dazzling beams of elemental light shot out, violent explosions erupted from the beast tide.

-1200 million, -1180 million, -1350 million...

The damage numbers appeared in dense array, but they did nothing to stop the approaching beast tide.

With epic or even legendary bosses leading them, these ferocious beasts are not a disorganized mob.

Before even approaching the city, all the necessary defensive buffs had already been applied.

The vanguard troops are even more ferocious beasts with thick skin and outstanding defense.

Therefore, the magic tower's first attack had almost no effect.

"fort!"

As the distance closed again, the cannons on the city wall instantly opened fire at full capacity.

boom!boom!boom……

Countless shells traced parabolic arcs in the sky before falling into the beast tide.

What followed was a continuous series of explosions.

-438 million, -419 million, -520 million...

While the turrets don't deal as much damage as magic towers, they have the advantage of being more numerous.

This time, the beast tide finally began to see some casualties, but the losses were negligible and had no impact on the overall battle.

"Arrow tower!"

Following closely behind were even more towering arrow towers.

shhhhhh!

With a series of whooshing sounds, a rain of arrows poured down from the sky.

Each one or two meters long, with terrifying force that can even pierce through ferocious beasts!

-208 million, -211 million, -199 million...

This time, the damage numbers are more concentrated. The arrow tower has the lowest attack but the fastest speed, and its damage is no less than that of the turret.

Having withstood three lines of fire, the beast horde, leaving behind some corpses, finally approached the city walls.

Only a solid protective barrier remained between the two sides.

The commander on the city wall, his eyes bloodshot and veins bulging at the corners of his eyes, roared with a wave of his hand:

"All ranged units, fire!!!"

Arrows, javelins, kunai, explosive tags, spells, elements... all sorts of ranged firepower erupted instantly.

Whether it was the city guards or the skilled warriors from the common people, they held nothing back and unleashed their full power against the beast tide below.

"Tear this tortoise shell to shreds!"

In the midst of the beast tide, a powerful BOSS led the charge, unleashing countless attacks upon the city's protective barrier. The terrifying onslaught caused the entire city to shake violently.

The attacking side will inevitably be at a disadvantage. Before the barrier breaks, they can only passively take the hits and cannot harm the humans inside the barrier.

But at this moment, the ferocious beast army seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, their pupils were bloodshot, and drool was dripping from their mouths. They charged towards the city's protective barrier without fear of death.

Once we tear through this tortoise shell and storm into the city, it will be time to reap the rewards!

The same scene is playing out outside cities.

There was no strategic deployment or any conspiracy.

Ferocious beasts are all about one word—action!

The "Beast Tide Invasion" expansion has just launched and is already at its climax.

In some cities with weak defenses, the protective barriers have even begun to crumble.

As the players who had hidden away waited anxiously, live streams began to appear one after another.

Many players with a knack for advertising have followed the example of that person from a while ago and started paying for live streams.

They should be the ones to earn this money, since they will be the first to die if the city falls.

Unlike Frost, the army of ferocious beasts wouldn't deliberately leave them behind.

Not everyone has the courage to risk their life for money!

Just as Sakura fans gritted their teeth and paid to start watching the live stream, another system announcement sounded.
