Chapter 113: Chapter 113 The Siege Begins, Three [4th Update]

“Damn it, damn it, I actually missed it. But luckily, my preparations were sufficient,” Park Yixiu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then immediately organized his men to attack those retreating holes outside the Underground Palace. He also dispatched level 30 NPC Guards.
The three hundred NPC Guards leaped up, holding shields and big sabers high above their heads as they jumped directly into the dark holes. Screams from the monsters followed shortly, and soon enough, the Guards emerged from the holes and charged toward the next one.
Then, the Archers took their turn, drawing bows and notching arrows. In an instant, a feather arrow shot out and exploded on contact with an Underground Palace peripheral Guardian who had just broken through the ground, instantly killing it with a blast!
Mages joined in the battle, chanting spells as they did so. Clusters of yellow light rained down, causing spikes of rock to thrust upward, penetrating the emerging Underground Palace peripheral Guardians and pinning them dead to the ground.
Some were instantly killed; others lingered, gasping for breath until the surrounding players finished them off with coup de grâce.
With the addition of the NPC Guards, the battle eased up a bit, but players still did not hold an absolute advantage.
There were Mantis in the sky and Underground Palace peripheral Guardians attacking from below, causing chaos among players who lacked experience in large-scale combat…
Just then, another loud sound erupted; the ground underneath three NPC Guards suddenly exploded, and then, a dozen tentacles shot out, swiftly wrapping around the three Guards and slamming them to the ground with a resounding crash, reducing their Blood Volume by a large fraction in an instant!
The dozen tentacles then struck down, and with several thuds, the three NPC Guards burst into white light and lay still!
“BOSS! The BOSS has appeared!” Someone shouted.
The dozen tentacles pushed forcefully against the ground, and with a loud explosion, a gigantic Octopus, measuring ten meters tall, burst out of the earth. It brandished its claws, sweeping everything in its path, instantly killing any newly Reincarnated players it touched!
Even high-level players above level 18 lost half their Blood Volume in one strike; the terrifying damage made everyone look on in dismay.

But Park Yixiu laughed, “It has finally appeared. Let’s end this early then. Demon Cannons, Heavy Crossbows, take it down!”
Upon Park Yixiu’s command, four Mages behind the Demon Cannons moved into action. They placed Magic Crystal Stones into the Demon Cannons, then channeled their Magic Power. The next moment, the four Demon Cannons began to glow, with Magic Arrays lighting up one after another, as a formidable power gathered…
At the same time, several muscular warriors operated the Heavy Crossbows, and the Anti-Demon Arrows on them began to shine as Runes lit up…
Seeing this spectacle, all the spectators turned their attention to the scene. Even though they were only observers, distanced from the action, they could still feel the terrifying power emanating from those massive war machines.
They were curious about the kind of damage these destructive devices could inflict!
The Octopus-like BOSS seemed to sense the danger as well. It waved its eight tentacles quickly in the air, and amidst magical fluctuations, a massive Magic Array took shape. Its head then split open, a gigantic mouth that began to suck in players nearby.
A dozen players were drawn in, then crushed by the great maw. Blood-colored Energy spread out and converged atop the Magic Array, transforming it into a blood-red hue!
“Fire!”
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The four Demon Cannons roared simultaneously, firing thick beams of light that penetrated the Void!
Boom!
The Octopus BOSS launched its attack as well, with a blood-colored beam shooting out of the Magic Array, attempting to counter the Demon Cannons’ assault.
Rumble…
The four beams of light collided with the blood-colored beam, and for a moment, the Void fell silent. Then, the point of impact exploded, with white and blood light soaring into the sky, spreading and engulfing many players, instantly vaporizing them…
Park Yixiu forced his eyes open to witness it all, grinding his teeth, “Damn it, to think there were such big guys here! If I had known, I would have rented a level 2 Demon Cannon. But with four level 1 Demon Cannons and eight Heavy Crossbows, I refuse to believe I can’t beat you!”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Just then, eight shadows shot through the air, penetrating the Void and heading straight for the Octopus.
The Heavy Crossbows had fired!
“`
“Hit, hit, hit, hit…” Tan Country players shouted repeatedly in the live broadcast.
Other players clenched their fists, watching the tense moment unfold. In their eyes, as long as they killed the Octopus Boss, the siege battle would be over. Although the smaller monsters were bothersome, they weren’t strong enough to break through Xuanyi Village’s defenses and their elimination was just a matter of time.
Just then, the Octopus boss fiercely raised its tentacles—it was actually trying to grab the Heavy Crossbow Arrows!
But…
Thud, thud, thud, thud…
All eight claws were penetrated by the Heavy Crossbow, and then securely nailed onto the body of the Octopus Boss.
“Roar!”
The Octopus Boss let out a ghastly scream of agony, distracted for a moment, its Magic Array shattered, and all four Demon Cannons bombarded its body simultaneously, blasting the massive beast to pieces! It ultimately died under the barrage of the Demon Cannons.
With the Octopus Boss dead, the players’ morale soared.
Seeing this, Park Yixiu swung his arm broadly, “All troops, attack, wipe them out for me!”
“Kill, kill, kill!”
The players shouted excitedly, even a Mage, wielding a Magic Wand, started knocking against mantis monsters…
But no one ridiculed him for his folly, because they were too happy.
With the most powerful Boss defeated, victory was in sight—who wouldn’t be excited?
“The Datang Empire has risen!”
“The Datang Empire will shock the world!”
“To reach the heavens in a single bound!”
In the live broadcast, Tan Country players shouted and cheered excitedly.
The Xiema players, however, fell silent; clearly, they had not wished for Park Yixiu to succeed.
Many Huaxia players also fell silent. Having witnessed the terror of the Demon Cannons, they too felt that these Tan Country players might actually succeed.
Only Madman, Fang Ling, Wang Mingchen, and a few others remained calm, their smiling eyes as if anticipating the most thrilling twist in this grand drama.
Just as the Tan Country players were about to wipe out all the mantises and outer Guardians of the Underground Palace, the sound of a horn rang out.
At the same time, a huge light curtain slowly unfolded…
But in the eyes of Tan Country players, this scene didn’t cause tension; instead, they all laughed.
“Hahaha, Huaxia’s Rabbit is here!”
“Hahaha, we’re so scared… hahaha…”
The Tan Country players laughed uncontrollably.
Park Yixiu’s laugh was unabashedly wild, contemptuous, and full of provocation. He looked up at the distant Huaxia players, wagging a finger gently, as if to say, you can’t touch us!
This scene instantly infuriated the Huaxia players…
Then Park Yixiu said, “The Datang Empire will reclaim what has been lost. After today, no one in this vast world will dare to underestimate the Datang Empire! As the birthplace of world civilization, we will take back everything we have lost and shock the world! Brothers, we can start celebrating our victory now—our subsidiary country’s tribute has arrived! Let’s cook, drink, and eat rabbit meat!”
