“Sigh, the operation is just too poor.”

“You’re overthinking it, Half hanging brother.”

Happy Stick mercilessly retorted:

“Look at the ever-escalating intensity of the assaults.

By the time we get in, the rate of support points regeneration will surely exceed your imagination.

I have a feeling that in the final round of the death match, we’ll have to summon every single NPC just to hold out to the end.”

All-Risk Half Hang was startled, exclaiming:

“You mean there might be a Golden Jackal by the end?

No way!

The Black Disaster has just started.

We’re still in the probing phase.

How could such a strategic-level BOSS appear so soon?”

“I’m not talking about individual power.”

Happy Stick explained:

“I meant other units of the Jackal People haven’t shown up yet.

Right now, it’s just hunters and barbarian soldiers charging.

Don’t forget, they have units like Hunting Priests, which can cast group-wide Bloodlust Skills, and Voodoo Priests, those nasty characters who use corrosive poisons — they can even summon the undead, as we saw in the Bog Battle.

The Jackal People have a complete unit lineup.

That’s the real ‘Black Disaster.’ What we’re facing now is more like a probing attack.

Anyway, there are enough of them, they reproduce quickly, and they don’t mind losing their cannon fodder.

But as long as we hold our ground here, it’s a terrifying blow to the morale of the Jackal People.

They must remove this thorn in their side if they want to attack Blackflame Mountain Pass in full force.

We’re not going to give up easily, which means the difficulty of the upcoming battles will only keep doubling until a BOSS we can’t handle shows up.

Hey, isn’t that how monster sieges go?

The dev team said this is the final event of the closed beta testing phase.

They’ll definitely throw in a BOSS of sufficient weight as a marker for the start of the open beta, right?

I heard that the high-end power of the Jackal People isn’t lacking; it’s just scattered among various tribes, unable to unite.

When the King of Bone Biting roamed the continent, he had seven or eight Golds under his command.

However, I feel the Golds are just the high-end power of the game’s early stage.

I’ve read the Celyon people’s history of the Black Disaster, and there are numerous accounts of Golds being trapped and defeated through sheer numbers.

They’re not invincible!

As the plot progresses, eventually, there will be Demigod Rank characters, or even divine beings descending.

In such cases, the now-powerful Gold Stage will only be as significant as a gatekeeping BOSS.

During the Holy Blood Festival, Sir Morphy summoned a Half-god of Star Realm, didn’t he?

The power pool in “Real Different World” is deep; there’s plenty more to come.

—————–

Happy Stick truly had the talent of a “Crow,” for his positive predictions never took effect, but his negative ones hit the mark every time.

The very next day after his “prophecy,” on the third day of the Second Battalion’s high-ground defense, spellcasters appeared among the attacking Jackals.

Though there were only two Hunting Priests, their group Bloodlust Skill instantly boosted the ragtag Jackals to an elite level of strength.

Under the blessing of the Bloodlust Skill, these bastards’ aggression was maxed out, their morale nearly unshakable, daring to charge forward through gunfire while howling.

Now it wasn’t just about numbers but quality too.

The Skeleton Army shaped by Necromancer Bella couldn’t hold back the raging Jackals.

The “Iron Barrel Boys” almost had their guns overheating just to maintain a line of fire.

Worse, the Hunting Priests quickly threw out “Ranged Nullification” totems, nullifying the damage from the small players sniping from the trenches.

The sudden change forced Old Qin to alter strategy again, sending Niu Niu and Brother Cat with the veteran melees into a fierce brawl, turning the good situation perilous.

Seeing even veteran players sustaining casualties, and the frenzied Jackal assaults destroying two of Lumina’s machine gun sets, the remaining newbies realized staying would only make them a burden.

They had clarity about their role — tough to deliver impactful results without sneak-attacking with muskets, unable to withstand elite units’ assault.

Hence, after some private discussion and consulting Old Qin, they graciously embraced the players’ “traditional virtue.”

Under cover of barrel fire, 40 newbies untested by Black Iron trials crawled through the communication trenches between two layers of trenches to the Jackals’ side and, after drinking Victory Wine and using the Final Bastion talisman as the “Golden Combo,” executed a frenzy of self-detonating tactics.

These guys relied on piling up bodies to drag out and blast the two Hunting Priests hiding in the Jackal formation, finally suppressing their headlong charge.

The self-sacrifice of the newbies heroically withstood this wave of assault, but after the battle, Old Qin counted and found the Second Battalion’s numbers were down to three hundred and seven.

Goodness gracious!

Despite having fewer numbers than the opponent, they lost a quarter of their forces in a single fight.

This gave Old Qin a very clear idea of the destructiveness of the Black Disaster.

He immediately realized that if subsequent Jackal assaults remained at this intensity and increased again, keeping his team intact until the fourth day would be a big question mark!
