Having silver British skeletons wasn’t as helpful now, given the growing number of elite players mastering long-range spells.

While the damage done by elite players to the silver skeletons was not high, the sheer number of them was enough to pose a threat. If it weren’t for the attribute enhancements of Qin Feng Yi, the rate of damage to the silver skeletons would definitely be faster than Li Yao could summon them.

Li Yao and his companions had to start dodging area attacks, shifting from their previous relaxed output.

Following Li Yao’s suggestion, they fought while retreated, surrounded by nearly a hundred silver skeletons.

Their retreat was rather tranquil due to Li Yao cleaning up the monsters. The elite players were not familiar with the mansion, and those who attempted flanking maneuvers often found themselves dying.

Just a while ago, Li Yao, while invisible, was almost killed by a Brain-eater, showing these monsters were good at hiding.

More dangerous than the other monsters, and with a higher health level than Li Yao’s summoned silver skeleton, a Brain-eater’s attack was devastating. If ensnared, or hit by Death’s Kiss, your health could be drained, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

Li Yao set many traps which didn’t have much power but they were numerous and loud, often alarming nearby monsters when triggered.

Professions capable of climbing walls met with a worse fate. These Brain-eaters were once nothing more than maidservants.

Except for the powerful Undead giants, the area near the walls used to be guarded by the formidable guards of the Duke, who were strong in both attack methods and power.

Having a slight advantage on the high steps, their defense line temporarily stabilized, and Li Yao’s silver skeletons were replenished to a hundred.

But this good situation didn’t last long. While their retreat was temporarily safe, it created space for other elite players.

With more players arriving, at least thousands had entered the mansion of the Duke. Together with players rushing in from afar, the number was only increasing.

The only solace for Li Yao was that the narrow area limited the number of players in the courtyard who could join the battle.

“What’s your plan? We don’t have enough magic for high-intensity combat”, the first to speak was Da Vinci.

“I also don’t have much magic left,” joined Qin Feng Yi.

Li Yao looked at the other two, seeing them nod in agreement, saying: “Fine, it seems we have enough players here now, let’s harvest.”

Li Yao looked up to see a fiery figure diving down from a hundred yards above the mansion.

Suddenly, it seemed as if all the monsters in the mansion went berserk, particularly the Mutant guards patrolling the walls.

Their blood-red eyes stared at the Fire Eagle, who, as a leader, exuded a powerful aura.

Although he hadn’t summoned the Fire Eagle when entering the city, Li Yao had already figured this out.

A riot! The monsters in the mansion were rioting!

The monsters’ roars echoed throughout the mansion, overshadowing the sounds of spell bombardments.

All the players looked around in confusion, surrounded by the roars of the monsters.

Boom, boom, boom…

Undead giants heaved boulders towards the sky. All were nimbly evaded by the Fire Eagle. Many boulders fell into the horrified crowd, directly crushing some unfortunate individuals.

People outside the mansion looked on in shock. No one dared to enter. Instead, the elite players inside were the first to react, turning around and running towards the outside.

However, the crack was too small and could only allow one person through. Additionally, those who had dug the cracks were crammed outside, blocking the crack as if it were choked – causing a riot.

The Fire Hawk, under Li Yao’s command, quickly plunged down from the sky, circling out of the range of the players’ attacks.

The Undead Giant ceaselessly hurled massive boulders from above, causing devastation among the players.

At the same time, close-combat monsters also charged over, clashing fiercely with the players.

“Everyone, stay calm! There aren’t that many monsters. Don’t panic.”

“What’s there to panic about? Scatter a bit. Melee fighters, hold the front line. Those in the back, cover and protect the healers. Each of these monsters earns us points.”

These were elite players, after all. Despite a brief moment of chaos, most of them began to systematically establish a defensive line.

As the elite players and the swarming monsters clashed, Li Yao led a few people to retreat into a small hall. They weren’t distracted by the hundred silver heroes outside.

“Your Fire Hawk is seriously overpowered, attracting so many mobs. And it’s even launching area attacks. You aren’t just scoring points, you’re grabbing them!” Da Vinci, having recovered his full mana, watched enviously as the Fire Hawk took every opportunity to utilize its area attacks amidst the crowd.

Meanwhile, Li Yao’s score was soaring at a terrifying rate.

Since Fire Hawk would attack but not necessarily kill the players, getting credit for fighting without withdrawing from combat. As long as a player was killed by a monster during combat, the points would be credited to Li Yao.

Of course, the Fire Hawk was a boss-level mob. Its attacks, Feather Fire Scattershot and Fire Breath, could easily obliterate weaker players in a moment.

Additionally, Fire Hawk only targeted players who were engaged with the monsters. It didn’t provoke those in the back lines. As a result, any players who had free hands didn’t think to attack the Fire Hawk.

Whenever Fire Hawk’s health got too low, it would just fly back to the hall where Li Yao would release a healing pet, throw a Mechanical Part to replenish its health, and with the healing from Da Vinci and Daimeng Dumeng, the Fire Hawk was immediately rejuvenated and ready to rejoin the battlefront.

“You’re playing rough,” Feng Yi said, frowning.

“They’re handing me points. Why would I refuse?” Li Yao retorted.

“But you could end up offending a lot of people, and many of them wield considerable influence,” Li Jie warned.

“So what?” Li Yao shot back. “The game is all about kill or be killed. They’re here in hopes of slaughtering me. If I don’t have a few tricks up my sleeve, then I’ll be the one to die. Of course, if I die here today, I won’t complain. I’ll take my loss and get my revenge later. If I have to worry about this and that while playing a game, it gets too tiring.”

Now that he had his Mecha in reality, he couldn’t be touched as long as he didn’t break any rules.

“You’re not going to have a moment’s peace in the future.” Feng Yi knew Li Yao’s character and only gave him a reminder, then said no more.

“Let them come.” Li Yao had the confidence now.

The monsters and the elite players fought fiercely, suffering heavy losses on both sides.

In the end, arriving elite players didn’t retreat, instead, actively joining the battlefield.

Even though players and monsters alike were being eradicated and dying, the player reinforcements were simply too numerous. After nearly an hour of bitter fighting, they ultimately defeated the monsters. Very few remained in the yard.

Of course, some savvy and powerful players gained respective benefits. These monsters were also worth points. As long as they participated in the fight, they would earn points when a monster died.

This was mainly why Gu Cheng was able to convince the upcoming players to join the battlefield. After all, they had already made one wrong decision and could no longer make it into the top hundred by the normal way. This was their only chance and way out, and they could even win Angel’s Wing. Why wouldn’t they do it?

“What do we do next? The fight is about to end,” Dumeng said. “We can’t sustain this for long, and there aren’t enough monsters either.”

Li Yao checked his score. He had finally reclaimed the first place, and he was leading by a considerable margin…
