Excavation Princess gnashed her teeth.
Her words were echoed by most of the players present.
They couldn't find a reason to fight Lily; since they were already sure they couldn't win, attacking Lily would only please the BOSS and yield no benefits.
[How about we retreat first and gather more players before fighting this BOSS?]
A player suggested.
First, the BOSS definitely had to be fought; if not, the Abandoned Cooling Plant would be attacked by the insect tide, and if the Abandoned Cooling Plant was destroyed by the insect tide, it would be harder for them to play the game.
However, this suggestion was immediately rejected.
[Setting aside whether that BOSS would let us retreat easily, the problem is, if we leave, what about Lily and those two NPCs?]
This was a very realistic problem.
During the retreat, they would inevitably suffer huge losses. Well, that's not really a problem, after all, they are players, they can revive if they die, at most they'll lose some experience..
But if they retreated, those two NPCs might still have a chance to escape, but Lily would be finished.
Therefore, they couldn't retreat.
[Damn it, you bastards, now we can only try to avoid Lily and attack that BOSS. I hope we can hold on until other players arrive to support us.]
[Can we avoid her?]
[Sigh, it's all my fault. If it weren't for covering me, Lily wouldn't have been ambushed and controlled by that BOSS.]
[I'll aggro Lily, you guys go cooperate with those two NPCs. I don't believe this BOSS can control indefinitely; the beginner village can't have such an unsolvable BOSS.]
During the discussion, Patrick Star stepped forward.
His expression was serious, his eyes firm, which slightly calmed the somewhat panicked players.
[Pai Da, I'll help you.]
[I'll come too!]
A dozen players stepped forward.
This scene looked somewhat solemn, but not all players watching the live stream opened by Excavation Princess felt the same, especially those who had been defeated by Lily in the popularity poll before; they were incredibly happy this time.
Good, good, it would be even better if Lily died here!
As the players divided into action groups, Yago and Xia Shi were already having second thoughts.
They didn't know that players could revive, nor did they know that more players were currently rushing here. After realizing that Lily was truly controlled, their first thought was that defeating Yulia was impossible, and what they should do now was temporarily retreat, readjust, and then see if there was a chance.
But what happened next truly exceeded their expectations—
Not only did the players not run, but they automatically divided into two groups; the smaller group surrounded Lily, while the larger group ran to them.
"As long as we can defeat that BOSS, we will fully cooperate with you. You can make us do anything, even be human shields!"
Of course, players doing this was not just to save Lily; who wouldn't calculate? As long as they defeated the BOSS, even if they died two or three times here, they would still profit in the end.
Things had come to this, only by fighting could they win!
"You all…"
Yago was surprised by the players' attitude.
Then he smiled, and he was right; this was their home, where else could they retreat to?
Fight, since these people wanted to fight, then fight. Anyway, even if they truly retreated, it would be difficult for them to find an opportunity to fight back, because the insect tide was coming soon.
"If you have made the resolve to sacrifice, then I will tell you my idea; this might be our only chance to win."
"Tell us, isn't it just a resolve to sacrifice? A small matter."
"Good."
Yago turned to look at the situation with Lily.
At this moment, the controlled Lily was already fighting with the players, and some players, under Yulia's control, were rushing towards them.
"Then I'll make a long story short…"
Yago spoke quickly.
Yulia's gaze constantly lingered between the two waves of players.
She had expected that controlling Lily would make the battle much easier, but she hadn't expected the effect to be so good.
After Lily launched her attack, the Outsiders completely dared not make a move; they could only continuously dodge and use their bodies to block Lily from getting closer to Yago.
