Chapter 349 - 326 The Melee Begins at the Bell Tower
Da Fei immediately found the answer from the flood of system messages earlier: "Dodge" "Missed"!
——System Prompt: Your Secret Archer Troop triggered the oil fire burning effect on the Golden Cockroach, reducing its Life Value by -1 per second! Duration: one hour.

Da Fei suddenly realized! It turned out to be the effect of the Kobold’s fire stick! Although most of my attacks just now were dodged and resisted by this Golden Cockroach, in front of my Divine Skill with Invincible Luck for 100% effect trigger, as long as I touch it, an effect will definitely occur! This means that the Golden Cockroach is currently losing 5 Life Value per second! That’s why the battle hasn’t ended yet!
Ha ha, wahahaha! Even a God-level Defense can’t withstand my God-level Luck! Losing 5 Life Value per second equals 18,000 in an hour—an eighth-tier soldier only has a thousand Life Value, no matter how powerful a boss cockroach is, it can’t have that much Life Value, right?
So, what to do now? Wait? Wait for the cockroach to bleed out and explode a Divine Wand?
Da Fei looked again at the snot-dripping passageway ahead. Anyone with eyes could tell that this snot must be a highly corrosive trap, right? Walking directly through it would be foolish, wouldn’t it? Not to mention, with the current dual plague condition I’m in, even if I pass through, I’d be riddled with wounds and unable to fight the boss!
I understand, this snot passageway must be specifically designed to deal with Undead players, those with mechanical troops, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t they take advantage by not being susceptible to the plague? If that’s the case, this snot’s potency wouldn’t be low, which means it certainly requires a tool to pass through, most likely this cockroach. Sharpening a knife does not hinder chopping firewood, so I just have to wait.
However, just waiting is not what a master does, this sewer must have other hidden bosses. I’ll take a round first.

In the Bell Tower District, the European Union’s Pirate Alliance completed their assembly, surrounding the Bell Tower and Fleeting Blossom’s forces on all sides.
Fleeting Blossom dispersed her vast forces, stationed in buildings on the streets beyond the range of the Bell Tower Army’s attacks. To professional players, this setup seemed laughable and futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Without hesitation, the Pirate Alliance launched an attack.
Of course, Fleeting Blossom wasn’t so laughable, at least not as laughable as they imagined. She was making calculations, observing. Her calculations of course weren’t the kind of calculations professional players make about troop damage, but calculations in search of a "safe zone"!
That’s right, a zone where Da Fei’s out-of-control forces wouldn’t attack her, only others, or it should be referred to as a blind spot for attacks. Theoretically, such a safe zone should exist; if not, she would really be finished. And to find the safe zone, sacrifices must be made. That’s why her forces were scattered around to be sacrificed. To discover landmines, the fastest way is undoubtedly to step directly through them.
Unfortunately, even Fleeting Blossom herself found it quite pitiful to place hopes on Da Fei’s uncontrollable forces. What exactly was she doing?
The battle began, and under the four-sided siege of professional players, Fleeting Blossom’s forces were completely overwhelmed. Fleeting Blossom began a full retreat, retreating into the range of the Bell Tower Army’s attack, diving into nearby houses amidst the rain of bullets.
The pursuing forces of the Pirate Alliance followed. Without a doubt, they too faced indiscriminate shooting from Da Fei’s elevated troops. Now, Fleeting Blossom widened her eyes, watching for which area was being hit while she wasn’t. If such a place existed, then that house must be the safe zone, where she could station the remaining troops to hold out.
But, theory and reality often have that gap. At this moment, in Fleeting Blossom’s eyes, magic bullets were flying everywhere; her troops were suffering losses all over, unable to discern clearly whether they were being hit by Da Fei or the opponent!
Fleeting Blossom got flustered in an instant. Sis, this is just too ridiculous! In the world of professional players, she honestly didn’t get it. Forget it, just finish this and go home.
And right then, the Multi-National Forces who were just besieging her suddenly retreated together, out of the range of the Bell Tower Army.
Fleeting Blossom couldn’t help but be stunned, what was going on?
She surely wouldn’t know that at this moment, the Pirate Alliance players were equally stunned. What’s going on? Why did Da Fei’s troops attack that Chinese player? They should be on the same side, right? Could it be that this Da Fei is really as unscrupulous as rumored? If so, let them fight each other first? With this thought, the companions immediately withdrew from the attack range together. After all, even though Fleeting Blossom’s combat power was weak, she had too many troops, and slaughtering them under Da Fei’s heavy firepower would still result in significant losses.
And it was precisely because the Pirate Alliance’s troops retreated that Fleeting Blossom finally saw which houses were hit by Da Fei, and which were not. To be specific, only two houses were not hit! Simply because the windows and doors of these two houses happened to be facing away from the Bell Tower!
