Number One Dungeon Supplier
chapter-1318

"Run! Run!" The Royal Zodiac Snake Soldiers told the Pandarens to escape the incoming artillery that was coming from the inner walls. As a veteran of the battlefield, the Royal Zodiac Snake Soldiers roughly knew where the artillery attacks were coming from and the approximate location where they would land.

Even though they knew that the Pandarens had very little time to run away from the attack, they are cultivators and should be able to at least escape or bring up a chi barrier to protect themselves.

At the same time, Se Chang Chang and Hou Fei had decided to clear the outer walls while waiting for the equipment they had purchased to be put to great use. Unlike the Pandapolis defensive, the Royal Zodiac Snake Soldiers were on the offensive but they required a foothold for a counterattack as they realised that there was no proper base for them to deploy, rest or assault from.

While the major wave of train siege had caught the Demon Rats by surprise, the Pandarens did not have any support equipment that they could utilise from the attack. The major push they had initially was from the Royal Zodiac Heads where they inflicted the most amount of damage and did not press on.

After the adrenaline rush had subsided, Royal Zodiac Snake Head Se Chang Chang could understand why the Pandarens were given a roughly drawn terrain map to them prior to the PandaVerse festival. He had assumed that those who wished to survive needed to retreat and used the terrain map to escape once the Pandarens were battered. Else, the only way to get out of this dungeon instance was to get killed.

However, if that were to happen, they would lose some points from their death and it was not exactly advisable to do so. While they were given a voucher which they could use to regain their points upon buying their ticket as well as depending on the ticket tier, it was inadvertently that dying too many times was an option they could not swallow.

Hence, Se Chang Chang deduced that this attack was supposed to be just a surprise ambush and those who could see the bigger picture could see that this was to determine how the Demon Rats could respond to the attack. But only Hou Fei and Se Chang Chang who were war veterans know that if they retreat away from the outer walls, that surprise siege would be wasted as the Demon Rats would raise their defences further when they slaughtered all the Pandarens within the vicinity.

Thus, Se Chang Chang decided to use the outer walls as the place for the Pandarens to replenish their stamina and return to battle again. Or as most Pandarens would have dubbed it a 'save point'. It cost a little bit more money than Se Chang Chang had expected but now he understood why Jin had also sold such an item that allowed the cultivators to respawn once they placed the save point down.

Unlike in games where there was a crystal where they could teleport to, it was more like a drop point that could be seen in first person shooting battlefield games. The Pandarens could now choose the Outer Wall Camp as Se Chang Chang had dubbed it to respawn. However, instead of a portal appearing right at the Outer Wall Camp, a train would emerge along the edge of the Outer Walls (the safer side) and they could alight from there.

That means that those who wish to rejoin had to queue for a train which currently had an interval of 15 minutes. But for those who had priority queue vouchers or higher tier tickets, they would be directed to a storehouse where there were Pandas handling a large gigantic cannon pointing towards the sky.

It is somewhat like a siege trebuchet where the Pandarens could hide inside a bubble ball similar to what they rode in the Cultivation Zoo Instance. But unlike that harmless thing, the ball was filled with explosives so that when they were catapulted into the dungeon instance via the cannon, they would be 'teleported' like a comet diving down to destroy the highest density of Demon Rats which would contribute to their raid points. (technically this was how they would earn the points back that they had lost.

But the reason Se Chang Chang did not mind spending more money to create the Outer Wall Camp was that it allowed him to earn points as well. This was considered as support as well and each time any Pandarens entered his camp to rest, recuperate or even replenish their equipment, he would earn some points.

Thus, aside from the requisition of a ship and a few planes, Se Chang Chang had flaunted his wealth and bought licences where NPC Pandas would emerge on the campsite to sell ammunition, potions and even rations. At the same time, the Royal Zodiac Snake Head add put up a large area magic barrier to protect the camp while Hou Fei spent money (and using his VIP privilege since he was a Inc Executive) to set up artillery guns and missile launchers for his Royal Zodiac Snake Soldiers to use.

An eye for an eye, if those Demon Rats were firing at them from their inner wall, the Pandarens are allowed to do the same too. This also gave the Pandarens a bit of fire support so they would not be overwhelmed by the Demon Rats.

Yet, the Demon Rats knew the existence of the camp since it was set up right in front of their eyes and had also tried ways to thwart it so that it would break their chain of reinforcement. Prideblood had attempted to mass teleport the Pandarens within the camp but Se Chang Chang had seen that coming and already placed an anti teleport magic barrier in the camp. (which was also why no teleport portals were coming from the System too.) And since that was useless, Prideblood had decided to continue to use his magic on other Pandarens while trusting the other Demon Rats to do their job.
