Chapter 1345: Earthquake Spell!
Some of the Pandarens, especially the Pandawans on the ground, who had more battle experience, could feel that this might not be an ordinary earthquake spell and began to move to higher grounds like the ruins of the second layer.
Yet, those who managed to move to the high ground did not expect the following scene to unfold in front of their eyes. The ground literally split in front of them as if it was eating them up for a meal. The soil vibrated and gave way for everyone within the vicinity and the split was so sudden that most of the Pandarens were not able to react in time and that included the Pandawans.
They realised that this particular earthquake spell was not just concentrated between the second and third layer but everything from the first layer of the Inner Wall to the third. They realised that it was a trap of a grand scale, destroying all the progress the Pandarens had accumulated in the past two days. All the ground they had covered, the sweat and blood that was spilt to grab each inch of land had been all wasted as the floor beneath them cracked and ate them up.
Jin saw the entire thing unfold but did not lift a finger to save any of the Pandarens since they knew that they would be able to revive again from it. He was more interested in what the Demon Rats were plotting now that they had destroyed the entire land as he had expected in Plan G2. The only thing he did not expect was the extent since he thought that they were only going to break a small portion of the ground and the entire Outer Town included.
All of the Pandarens who were caught in the trap fell endlessly into the 'abyss' while the Pandawans tried to use their qing gong to try to reach the Third Layer of the wall which was still intact and unaffected by the earthquake.
That was when the Demon Rats Mages had started the next portion of their phase to ensure that all those within the trap would remain in the trap. A massive magic circle was right above the Pandarens and they activated a multitude of spells all at once. From a shower of fireballs to a wide range gravity spell to force them to fall right through the 'abyss' and into their Undercity.
Since their Undercity was built a few kilometres below ground, the Pandarens 'should' die but since the Demon Rat Generals had seen their resurrection powers in person, they had expected a few to possibly survive. So, they also placed a few Demon Rat Hunters on the job, sneaking those Pandarens out and killing them when they fell from the 'sky'.
For the first time in eternity, the Undercity had seen some proper sunlight and to the rats, they felt that this might be their golden era when they saw how the Demon Rat Military had killed hundreds of Pandarens instantly.
Naturally, those who survived the fall by reaching the Third Layer or had already been on the Third Layer's wall were now facing fiercer resistance than ever since their support had been reduced to zero and they had to fend for themselves. The Demon Rats who were occupied with ranged duty could assist their guards to kill the rest of the Pandarens that were on the wall.
Most of the Pandarens panicked since they were never much of a fighter in the first place. A bulk of them are salary workers and did jobs that did not require them to put up a fight. When faced with this kind of menacing force, it was an obvious choice that a lot of them simply retreated back or be killed by the remaining Demon Rats. However, it was not the same for the Pandawans who had survived the attacks.
Bin Yong, Xiong Da, Luo Bo and Bu Dong were unfortunately the survivors from the entire Demon Rat Trap with the rest of the Pandawans back in the recovery instance. Still, they were not going to retreat and hope to at least survive the wave of monsters. Now that both of the respawn points from the Outer Wall Camp and Inner Wall Camp had been destroyed, the Pandarens would have a hard time attacking the Demon Rat's Undercity and the Pandawans know it too.
Thus, they were thinking about whether it would be the right choice to place a teleportation crystal at the Third Layer, allowing reinforcements to come. However, to do that, the person putting down the teleportation crystal would need to be protected. (Although Jin was able to make that teleportation crystal be deployed almost immediately, he initially did it to prevent people from spamming the crystal even if they had the money to do so.)
And considering that Xiong Da had one (why not? He is too freaking rich to not purchase one.) They were hoping to place it down as soon as possible and protect the Pandawan who were deploying it before they were exhausted from the constant fighting between the Demon Rats.
"Xiong Da! We do not have time to waste. Let's just put it down and protect it." Bin Yong said and Xiong Da was contemplating whether it was a good choice.
"And waste my money when this thing costs hundreds and thousands of yen?" Xiong Da queried as he slammed the Demon Rat right in the face. "And you want me to put it here? Out of no fucking where on top of the walls?"
"If not what? You saw how the Demon Rats annihilated our camps in one shot! There would be no way they could use the very same spell again to destroy the Third Layer again and there must be a reason why they did not destroy this wall when they could have destroyed it previously." Bin Yong said while he smacked a Demon Rat with his buckler and stabbed it.
"Bin Yong is right, it's best that you put it up as soon as possible. Else, we won't have any respawn points around us at all and this entire war would be set back to square one once more.
"Bro, don't worry. Establish that teleportation crystal. Let me handle the Demon Rats." Bu Dong reassured his fellow Pandawan. "I have a few tricks under my sleeves that should be able to salvage the situation if the situation goes down to shit."
"Fine, Then I will be putting my life in your care." Xiong Da said as he took out the teleportation crystal. No matter how bad an idea this was, it was still worth the gamble.
