Chapter 219 Timely Rain
The entire alliance's defenses were thrown into chaos and breached due to this sudden air attack.
Casualties began to appear. Some unlucky mages or priests were hit repeatedly because they couldn't dodge in time, and they turned into white light and went back to the respawn point to report for duty.
Although they can run back from their corpses, it means their combat effectiveness is temporarily gone, and the blow to morale is fatal.
Zhang Tianya's eyes were bloodshot with urgency. He swung his battle axe, deflecting a stone spear aimed at his face, his voice nearly hoarse from shouting, "Hold on! All of you, hold on for me! Thieves! Use your crossbows! Shoot down those banshees! Now!"
The thieves' crossbows were slightly more accurate than their bows and arrows, but the crossbows were incredibly slow to reload. Faced with such an overwhelming number of crossbows, they were simply a drop in the ocean; for every one shot down, ten more would fly in.
With the defensive line on the verge of being completely torn apart by this group of "air force" units, the backline's healing and damage output systems are facing collapse...
At this critical moment, a clear, melodious yet undeniably calm female voice, like heavenly music, came from behind the valley entrance:
"Crimson Romance, here as promised! Sisters, aim at these uninvited guests in the sky, and show them our power!"
Li Weiwei took the lead, having traded her usual elegant long dress for a sharp, form-fitting leather armor that accentuated her agile figure. The staff in her hand, inlaid with dazzling gems, radiated powerful magical energy.
Behind her followed hundreds of elite female members of the Crimson Romance Guild, each with sharp eyes and an orderly formation, clearly having been prepared for this moment!
Their arrival was like a refreshing spring flowing into the chaotic battlefield.
"Mage group, [Frost Nova], three shots in a row, cover the airspace in front! Release!" Li Weiwei pointed her staff forward gracefully, her voice clear and steady.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Three enormous, chillingly cold, icy blue halos were thrown almost simultaneously from the Crimson Romance mage group, precisely covering the area where the harpies were most concentrated!
-1488! -1521! -Slow down! -Slow down! -Slow down!
While the direct damage of [Frost Nova] is not high, its powerful slowing effect is immediately noticeable!
Those harpies that were originally as agile as loaches, darting freely through the air, suddenly had a thick layer of frost freeze on their wings and bodies. Their movements became visibly stiff and slow, and their flight speed dropped sharply, as if they had sunk into an invisible swamp!
"Archers, squads one and two, [Precision Shot], target all slowed units! Open fire!" Li Weiwei immediately issued the second command without any hesitation.
The archer girls, dressed in crimson, had clearly undergone rigorous training. They drew their bows steadily, their eyes locked on the "live targets" that were slowly flapping in the air.
Whoosh whoosh!
-1124! -998! -Critical Hit! -2247!
Every arrow hit its mark! As if guided by eyes, each arrow precisely struck the banshee's wing joints, chest, and even her repulsive eye sockets!
Damage numbers surged like a fountain, and the severely slowed banshees became the perfect targets, falling one after another from the sky with screams, only to be smashed into a pile of flesh.
"Holy crap! That's awesome!!"
"The sisters in 'Bloody Romance' are amazing!"
"That teamwork! That accuracy! I'm impressed!"
The men of the alliance were stunned, and then burst into thunderous cheers and heartfelt praise!
The pressure that had been weighing me down just moments before instantly eased!
The fresh force brought by Li Weiwei instantly turned the tide of the most difficult aerial battle.
Their addition greatly compensated for the Alliance's lack of anti-air firepower and accuracy!
Seeing this textbook-perfect response, the ranged players in the alliance immediately calmed down and followed suit. Instead of randomly scattering their fire, they began to prioritize attacking the monsters slowed down by [Frost Nova], greatly improving their hit rate and efficiency.
Zhang Tianya let out a long, complete sigh of relief, feeling the cold sweat on his back almost soaking through his inner lining.
He cast a look of gratitude and admiration in Li Weiwei's direction.
Li Weiwei nodded slightly to him, a confident smile playing on her lips, and continued to concentrate on directing her team's damage output. At the same time, she waved her staff from time to time, personally using [Arcane Missiles] to pick off any stragglers that tried to get close.
Lin Tian sat on the rock, watching the changes on the battlefield below, a slight smile playing on his lips as he nodded.
"Li Weiwei... she's really got some skills. The timing and method of her support were just right," he thought to himself.
It seems that he doesn't need to do anything for the time being.
With the addition of the "professional anti-air force" Blood Romance, the threat of the second wave of aerial monsters was quickly contained and eliminated.
Although the process was still tense and exciting, with occasional damage from stone spears and wind blades, the overall situation had stabilized.
Once the last few harpies and vampire bats were cleared away, the sky finally regained its tranquility for the time being.
Everyone was exhausted and panting, especially the ranged attackers and priests who were under a lot of mental stress; they felt even more tired than if they had been running dungeons all day.
Zhang Tianya wiped the sweat and bloodstains from his face, still shaken.
Without the timely intervention of "Blood Romance," the consequences of this second wave would have been unimaginable.
Li Weiwei tidied her slightly disheveled hair, walked to Zhang Tianya's side, her voice still gentle, but carrying the solemnity of someone who had just experienced a great battle:
"President Zhang, this is only the second wave. Next, we will probably launch a three-dimensional offensive from the ground and the air. Moreover, based on common sense, there is a high probability that a real 'big guy'—a BOSS-level monster—will appear."
Zhang Tianya nodded heavily, gripped the blood-stained battle axe in his hand, and his eyes regained their resolve.
"Whatever big thing it is! We'll meet force with force! With our alliance and Blood Romance joining forces, we refuse to believe we can't protect this home!" His voice, though weary, was filled with indomitable fighting spirit.
In the valley, players from the two guilds helped each other treat injuries and distributed potions.
......
Those annoying, hairy beasts in the sky are finally gone. The people in Crimson Flame Valley are exhausted, and many of them sit down on the ground, not even wanting to move a finger.
But before they could catch their breath, the ground beneath their feet started acting strangely again.
This time it wasn't a tremor, but a muffled "thump-thump" sound, one after another, getting closer and louder, making people feel uneasy, and even the small stones on the ground seemed to bounce.
"It's...it's happening again! What is it this time?" A warrior who had just downed a blood potion asked, his voice trembling slightly.
