Chapter 324 - 330: Live Broadcast of the Siege
Midnight.
Hang City University.
The office of the Spirit Realm Adventure Club.
Sun Chaohui and a dozen members are preparing to watch the live broadcast.
The network program responsible for the live broadcast is called "Spirit Realm Frontline."
As the name suggests.
A news-oriented audiovisual program.
It regularly analyzes Spirit Realm monster strategies, shares stories about Spirit Realm figures, and is backed by the Huaxia Spirit Relief Association.
It must be said.
The Spirit Relief Association has really made a mark in the media field.
Forums, new media, audiovisual programs, all vibrant and lively.
The host is a young and beautiful woman.
"Welcome to Spirit Realm Frontline, I’m your host Liu."
"As we all know, most cities in our country have switched to spirit realm energy-based devices powered mainly by Slime Fuel, and have begun using enchantments or other enhancement methods to boost equipment performance. In addition, more Spirit Realm food, medicine, and magic-guiding devices are entering our world."
"The advent of the Spirit Realm era has drastically transformed our world, from social structures to scientific production."
"Our understanding and exploration of the Spirit Realm are just beginning, and today, a much-anticipated battle will occur in the Spirit Realm, led by our very own Huaxia people."
"This fully demonstrates that Hua Country is clearly leading the world in the Spirit Realm era. Today’s special program will use cross-realm broadcasting to show and explain this battle in its entirety."
"We have invited four experts. Now, please let’s hear from the experts about the necessity of exploring the Spirit Realm and the importance of the upcoming battle."
Why hasn’t it started yet?
The Adventure Club members are getting a bit impatient.
Several temporary experts from various fields are on the screen, speaking at length, analyzing the current and future situation. They are rather influential, and under normal circumstances, they would surely pique everyone’s interest.
Who has the patience for that now?
Everyone just wants to see Boss Hang take on Deserted Valley Town!
Finally, after waiting for a good twenty or thirty minutes, the beautiful host’s face lit up with joy, seemingly relieved, and she quickly interrupted saying, "We have received the cross-realm transmission signal, let’s officially connect and see what’s really happening!"
You can tell.
The host is also very excited.
She is one of Boss Hang’s fans too.
A desolate and lifeless valley appeared on the screen.
This place is full of barren hills, but not a single blade of grass can be found among them. However, a team of nearly seven hundred people is emerging from a cave, having already assembled outside.
A voice sounded: "Hello everyone, I am Li Yi from Yang City’s Spirit Relief Association. I have the privilege to bring you live coverage of this much-anticipated battle from the Earth Dragon Realm’s Desert Province site."
The host said: "Hello, are you also a warrior member?"
This kind of program cannot be rehearsed in advance.
So the host also doesn’t know the other party’s situation.
Li Yi replied: "No, I am too weak, only level 6, so I wasn’t selected by Boss Hang. However, I will accompany the team as a temporary reporter to the battlefield to bring live coverage."
The host said: "Then you need to be careful."
"Don’t worry, precisely because I’m not directly participating in the battle, I will be relatively safe. Even if I unfortunately get killed accidentally, there’s still another backup on site who can continue bringing live coverage."
Everyone laughed.
They all found Li Yi too modest.
Level six strength is considered pretty good in the eyes of ordinary people.
However, in such circumstances, unless you have a few Healing Skills as a Holy Professional, you really aren’t qualified to be on the battlefield, because you won’t be of much help and might hold others back instead.
The host quickly asked: "Please introduce the current situation on site."
Li Yi aimed his Spirit Realm phone’s camera at Hang Yu’s team: "Boss Hang is reorganizing and adjusting the team, they should be about ready now. There are about 680 participants this time, including people from Huaxia, the United States, the European Union, Japan, and India..."
Sun Chaohui and others looked at the lineup without blinking.
These are truly top-notch experts!
If only I could be on site too!
One member of the Hang University Adventure Club said: "Chaohui, you are already level eight, just unlucky, otherwise you’d definitely be able to fight."
Sun Chaohui shook his head: "Even though my level is high, I may not be comparable to these level seven participants. After all, I still don’t have a complete First Tier inheritance or even a single piece of Green Equipment, while these people generally have a complete inheritance and very good equipment."
Level is a very important standard for measuring strength.
Besides the level, equipment and inheritance are also to be considered.
Someone might have a high level.
But when it comes to a real fight, they’re rather feeble.
In the process, Hang Yu and the team began moving because of the long distance, to save time, they all used Mount Scrolls.
Mount Scrolls are not rare items.
Camps like the Wild Boarman ones can sell them, and they’re not expensive, even quite cheap. They can summon a temporary mount, such as a Big-footed Bird or a Swift Pig.
Their movement speed is very fast.
Comparable to sports cars in the human world.
They can traverse forests and mountainous terrain easily.
Of course, these mounts have no combat capability.
Viewers from all over the world could clearly see, nearly seven hundred people mounted on them, raising dust like a hurricane, such a scene is truly spectacular and grand.
Even though the total number of people is not large.
But it gave the impression of a grand army setting out.
Li Yi and several non-combat members were closely following behind the team, transmitting the scene back to the real world. Along the way, they occasionally encountered monsters, but these seemingly formidable creatures were nothing more than paper tigers in the face of this team.
Once again, it drew cheers from the audience in the real world.
The team’s strength was simply overwhelming!
"Victory is certain!"
"Victory is certain!"
"Boss Hang V5!"
On some streaming platforms that allow bullet comments.
Information flowed like a waterfall.
Making the live scene almost unreadable.
Actually, there wasn’t much to say about the journey, so a few experts guided the topic.
After about an hour or so.
Everyone could feel the team’s pace gradually slowing down.
They began to enter a relatively narrow canyon.
Li Yi’s voice came through: "Boss Hang just gave the order, we are approaching Deserted Valley Town, and we will now slow down to prevent ambushes!"
The audience in front of the screen grew tense.
They discussed, without blinking, as if trying to help these people spot hidden ambushers in the corners.
After all, this wasn’t a competition.
This was a live broadcast without any rehearsals.
Anything extreme could happen.
Their feelings were akin to watching a manned rocket launch live; since the next situation was completely unknown, it gave a very tense feeling, fearing an irreversible accident might happen the next second.
"It’s here!"
"Deserted Valley Town!"
"Deserted Valley Town is just ahead!"
A castle-like town appeared in the center of the canyon, built with gray-black stone, with outer walls reaching a height of twenty meters, surrounding it were some array auras.
Above.
There were vultures, hawks, and similar creatures circling.
On the city walls, arrow towers stood tall, with at least two hundred Jackal Wolfmen, holding bows or magic staffs, evidently aware of the human arrival, having already made the most comprehensive preparations.
Sun Chaohui and others gasped.
At first, they thought Deserted Valley Town was at most a level 5 camp, but now it turned out to be a castle, and a fortress with strict defenses and towering walls!
Multiple arrays!
Traps everywhere!
Heavily guarded!
The host was so shocked she was speechless; she had just reached level 4 in the Spirit Realm and had never seen such a place, her voice trembled, "What do the experts think?"
A bald expert, looking very professional, said, "The difficulty far exceeds expectations!"
The host hurriedly asked, "Why do you say that?"
"This is a canyon, Deserted Valley Town is high in terrain and has a sturdy fortress as a barrier. From the arrangements around the town, there are many traps and arrays, all of which are difficult obstacles to avoid."
Another expert said, "Look at the crenellations on the city walls and the Jackal Wolfmen on the arrow towers, they are at least level 10 elite monsters, shooting from a high vantage point with long range, once you get close, you can only be passively hit."
Yet another expert nodded, "There are too many Jackal Wolfmen! And they seem well-prepared, did you notice? Apart from the Jackal Wolfmen mages and archers, there are several areas with similar cannon-like magic-guiding equipment, I believe these must be the heavy weaponry for defending the city!"
The host asked, "If you were on the scene, what attack strategy would you adopt?"
An expert thought for a moment, "Perhaps trying an airdrop, first landing on the mountains on both sides, then launching an assault from high ground."
"This is impossible to succeed!" The bald expert, with a wise look, pointed out the flaw, "Not to mention whether such a plan is feasible, do you see the dozens of vultures, hawks-like creatures circling above the town? I believe these are spirit beasts, tamed beasts, summoned beasts, and their role should be air defense."
"Ah, indeed, what we can think of, the Jackal Wolfmen have already thought of... It seems a strategic retreat, temporarily giving up, is the best strategy for now!"
"..."
These experts chattered with their analysis.
It was like buckets of cold water pouring on the audience’s faces.
Humans are generally weaker than Jackal Wolfmen, all Jackal Wolfmen are level 10, and as the defenders, they have the advantage of time and place, can this battle truly continue this way?
At Deserted Valley Town.
Hang Yu stood at the forefront of the team with a dog.
He had already scouted the situation ahead using Eagle Eye technique.
Xu Tianhua and Zhao Ming, his two right-hand men stood on either side, looking serious and remarked, "A tough battle ahead!"
"It’s a bit tricky," Hang Yu said, "But we’re live-streaming, I don’t want it to look too bad, have the others ready, we’ll go up and test a few waves first!"
Saying this.
He gave Bai a look.
Hang Xiaobai released the Human-faced Ant Queen.
Undoubtedly, a frontal assault was doomed to fail, and an air drop would only be sending heads.
Fortunately, Hang Yu had a unique method, as the saying goes, train troops for a thousand days to use them for a moment.
Hang Yu had painstakingly nurtured the giant ants, now was their time to shine.
Of course, this process required cover, such as a frontal attack to draw the Jackal Wolfmen’s attention.
