Chapter 2901 Wind Rises in Twin Towers
Twin Towers Kingdom, Shadow Forest:
A six-man scouting party led by a Level 154, Tier 4 Assassin slowly traversed the rainforest.
Dark clouds hovered over the Shadow Forest all year round, shrouding the forest in gloom even during hot summer days when the sun shone bright. The mist enveloping the forest also hindered players perception, and even Tier 3 experts familiar with the terrain would lose their way if they werent careful.
Commander, weve been investigating this place for half a day now, yet we havent found any traces of the Outerworlds player army. Should we take a look at the other maps? a blue-clad Level 142, Tier 3 Assassin suggested as he looked at a tree-lined gorge.
With the War of Worlds imminent, many of the Twin Towers Kingdoms player forces had dispatched scouting parties to seize the initiative. Among the scouting parties duties, the top priority was investigating the exact state of the Outerworlds player army.
Many of the Twin Towers Kingdoms forces were offering astronomical prices for the information. If one managed to get detailed information on the Outerworlds player army, one could receive not only a Level 150 Epic Weapon for the information but also 200,000 Credits.
Hence, although many independent experts in the kingdom had fled to the Black Dragon Empire and the Dark Night Empire, adventurer teams from the neighboring kingdoms and empires still dispatched expert players to investigate.
The Sand Fox adventurer team was one of them.
The Sand Fox adventurer team was well-known in the Dark Night Empire. Although Sand Foxs overall combat power was nothing noteworthy in the Dark Night Empire, its scouting ability ranked among the top ten of the empires adventurer teams.
After the blue-clad Assassin finished speaking, a Level 136 Assassin youth in the party suddenly jumped off the tree branch he stood on, and stopped moving. He then quietly observed the empty woodland in the distance.
The Assassin youths actions alerted the rest of the party, and they promptly halted their advance, not daring to move even a muscle.
Blade, is something wrong with that place?. the Tier 4 Assassin Sky Fox asked quietly as he looked at the Assassin youth.
The other players in the party also looked at the Assassin youth curiously.
The Assassin youth, Blade Heart, had started playing Gods Domain only recently, and his level was the lowest in the party. However, he possessed incredible technique and intuition. Often, he would notice things that even their commander, Sky Fox, had failed to notice.
This was why they had brought Blade Heart along on this scouting mission.
After studying the empty woodland ahead for a while, Blade Heart said hesitantly, I cant say for certain, but my gut tells me something is there. What thing? Sky Fox scrutinized the empty woodland.
However, no matter how Sky Fox looked at the area, he failed to see anything out of the ordinary. Even his high-ranking Identification Skill didnt come up with anything. That empty woodland was nothing but an ordinary forested region. Let alone players, he couldnt even detect any signs of other creatures.
However, several minutes after Sky Fox and the others continued their observation of the empty woodland, they spotted a 20-man team approaching the woodland. This team was incredibly strong. All 20 members were Tier 4 playersand also above Level 155. The most inferior piece of equipment they wore was Level 150 Dark-Gold Equipment, and the team leader even had five pieces of Epic Equipment.
These people should be one of the Outerworld armys scouting teams. Why are they here instead of investigating the Twin Towers Kingdom? Blade Heart was confused when he saw this 20-man team.
The Outerworlds player army had dispatched a lot of experts to harass and investigate the Twin Towers Kingdom. Many of the expert teams sent were led by Tier 4 experts.
The 20-man team they were seeing now was definitely one of the Outerworld armys elite forces.
The other players in the party also grew confused and curious about this situation.
Logically, a team of such caliber shouldve been dispatched to investigate the Twin Towers Kingdoms inner regions and even cause a huge commotion in the kingdom. After all, the average player force couldnt contend against such combat power. Only first-rate Guilds could possibly take on such a team.
While Sky Fox and the others were wondering why this team was in this deserted location, the 20-man team suddenly stopped in the empty woodland. However, none of them got off their Mounts. Instead, they simply stood there as if waiting for something. Roughly ten seconds later, the space of the empty woodland became blurry, and a tear in the space opened up.
A magic barrier?
Almost all players in Gods Domain knew of magic barriers. However, the scene that just took place still stunned Sky Fox and his team. None of them had known that magic barriers could be used in such a manner.
Through the gap in the barrier, Sand Foxs members saw an ocean of players. From a rough glance, they could estimate that the barrier hid at least several hundred thousand players. Moreover, they spotted many Tier 4 experts among those players.
Why are there so many Tier 4 players?! Its over! Twin Towers is finished! We wont have enough to defend against so many Tier 4 experts, even if we gather the players from the Black Dragon Empire and Dark Night Empire!
The information those superpowers obtained are completely wrong! The eastern continent is going to lose at this rate!
Blade Heart and the others paled and despaired when they saw the player army in the barrier. Although Gods Domain had given birth to many Tier 4 players already, they were still incredibly rare. At this stage of the game, a kingdom was considered top-tier if it had at least three hundred Tier 4 players operating within its borders. Even the strongest empire didnt have more than 1,500 Tier 4 players operating within it.
While these numbers might seem large, the player populations of kingdoms and empires were calculated in the hundreds of millions. There wasnt even one Tier 4 expert for every 100,000 players.
Yet, from what they could see, the Outerworlds player army before them had over 5,000 Tier 4 players. It was capable of destroying even the Black Dragon Empire and Dark Night Empire, let alone the Twin Towers Kingdom.
Commander, what should we do now? Blade Heart asked nervously. With so many Tier 4 experts on the Outerworlds side, the Black Dragon Empire and Dark Night Empire will definitely fall.
Revealing a bitter smile, Sky Fox said, What can we do? Our only option now is to notify the Black Dragon Empires and Dark Night Empires superpowers and have them gather the neighboring kingdoms and empires Tier 4 experts. Otherwise, all of us will have to leave the eastern continent.
But will those superpowers listen to us? Blade Heart asked worriedly. Those superpowers are all focused on dealing with Zero Wing now, and theyre hoping to see Twin Towers and Star-Moon fall. Would they be willing to gather their forces to help defend the Twin Towers Kingdom?
Thats none of our concern. Helplessly, Sky Fox said, Our job now is to spread this information and hope for the best.
Truthfully, Sky Fox had already lost hope for the Twin Towers Kingdom. Nevertheless, he still felt that they needed to try defending against the Outerworlds player army for as long as possible. That way, the eastern continents native Tier 3 players would have more time to get promoted to Tier 4.
However, when Sky Fox and his team were about to leave, a loud hum came from the distant sky.
When the party sought the noises origin, what entered their eyes was a crimson behemoth heading in their direction.
Zero Wing? Why are they here? Could they have discovered the Outerworlds player army already?
Sky Fox and the others grew confused as they watched the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship approach.
Nowadays, the Crimson Dragon Flying Ships were synonymous with Zero Wing. Almost no player in Gods Domain was ignorant of their existence. Now that one of these Flying Ships had appeared in this deserted location, the only explanation for it was that Zero Wing had discovered the Outerworlds player army. In no time at all, the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship arrived and stopped above the empty woodland. Obviously, Zero Wing already knew about the hidden magic barrier.
Is Zero Wing planning to attack the Outerworld players? Blade Heart wondered as he looked at the Flying Ship.
Thats most likely the case, but Zero Wing probably doesnt know how many Tier 4 experts are hidden inside the barrier. Itll definitely suffer a loss afterward, Sky Fox said worriedly when he saw Shi Feng walking to the Flying Ships bow.
The battle at Ancient Rock City had boosted Black Flames fame. He was publicly recognized as Gods Domains strongest player.
However, even a Tier 5 Sword Saint stood no chance against a force of more than 5,000 Tier 4 players. After all, a Tier 5 player would still lose a lot of HP if they got hit by a Tier 4 players attack. Not to mention, these Tier 4 players came to wage war. They most definitely had Combination Skills and battle arrays prepared. As soon as Sky Fox finished speaking, the magic barrier enveloping the empty woodland suddenly revealed itself. At this time, the Tier 4 magical-class players inside the barrier had split into groups of 100 and were casting all sorts of large-scale Spells, including Tier 4 Defensive Spells and Offensive Spells. These large-scale Spells-numbering more than a dozen-were not the slightest bit weaker than the average Tier 5 Defensive Spell and Offensive Spell.
A Summoning Array maintained by 600 players could also be seen in the center of the magic barrier. The Summoning Array was incredibly complex, making it impossible for outsiders to tell its rank.
After these 600 players finished their incantation, the phantom of a nine-headed snake emerged from the ground.
Tier 5! Thats definitely a Tier 5 Legendary monster!
Although Sky Fox and his team didnt know what kind of monster the Outerworld players had summoned, they could tell that it wasnt just a Tier 4 monster based on its aura. Aside from the rumored Tier 5 Legendary monsters, they couldnt think of any other possibility.
Facing such a monster, let alone one Tier 5 Sword Saint, even two or three Tier 5 players working together would fall.
Upon seeing this monster, Sky Fox and the others couldnt help revealing looks of bitterness and despair.
A force of 5,000-plus Tier 4 experts was already plenty shocking, and it allowed them to realize just how wide the gap between the players of Gods Domain and of the Outerworld was.
Yet, reality now told them that the gap was far wider than they thought. The force of 5,000-plus Tier 4 experts was only the tip of the iceberg.
However, unlike Sky Fox and his team, Shi Feng, aboard the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship, remained unfazed by this situation. He simply took to the air and arrived above the magic barrier. He then unsheathed the newly upgraded Light of Two Worlds. Disappear!
Shi Feng brandished the Light of Two Worlds against the barrier.
Holy Annihilation!
