Chapter 2042 Getting Serious
While everyone was still shocked by the fact that ten Refinement Realm experts had been instant-killed, Seven Light and his comrades took advantage of the opportunity to make their move.
In the blink of an eye, thirteen figures dashed into Starlinks ranks with vicious attacks.
Taking the lead, Seven Light activated Wind Blade and arrived before three Starlink MTs and four melee players. He then brandished his swords at the MTs sturdy shields.
Tier 2 Skill, Omnislash!
Suddenly, four sword lights radiated out from Seven Light, and although Starlinks members blocked the spreading lights, the resulting impact forced them to stumble back several steps, revealing several holes in their defenses.
Seven Light then swung his two swords again.
Two sword lights flew toward one of the Tier 2 MTs; one knocked away the MTs shield while the other bit into the players armor. The MT began to lose HP rapidly. Before the rear line healers could react, Seven Light followed up by swinging one of his longswords and activating the Tier 2 Skill, Dispersing Slash.
Suddenly, six sword lights left Seven Lights longsword, devouring the Tier 2 MTs remaining HP.
Although Seven Lights actions seemed slow, from afar, one would only see him charge into the crowd. Then, as if for no reason at all, the seven players around Seven Light stumbled backward. One even fell to the ground, dead...
The results of Stubborn Bone and the other Zero Wing members assault were roughly the same.
During the initial confrontation alone, more than 10 of Starlinks surviving 40 Tier 2 experts had died. Now, less than 30 players remained.
Desert Tigers 50-man team had held the advantage against Crimson Hearts players, but due to the arrival of Cleansed Rues team, the situation had taken a turn for the worst for Starlinks force.
Vice Guild Leader, were too outnumbered. At this rate, it is only a matter of time before they annihilate us! one of Starlinks Tier 2 Guardian Knights anxiously reported.
They wouldve still had a chance if they had only needed to face Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rues teams, but Shi Fengs party continued to slaughter their members. It wouldnt be long before the remaining 20-plus players who fought Shi Fengs players were eliminated. If Shi Fengs party finished them off and regrouped with Crimson Heart and Cleansed rue, they would suffer for it.
Retreat! Everyone retreat! Desert Tiger grimly commanded. He also realized the outcome that awaited them if they continued this fight. Firing a fierce glare at the distant Shi Feng, he growled, Ill let you live for a little while longer!
Desert Tiger then turned and left, showing no intention of staying for this battle. Seeing this, Starlinks players began to split up and flee into their surroundings.
Despite the retreat, the Hundred Flowers Palaces Vice Guild Leaders didnt try to chase them down.
Starlinks forces hid all around Moon Creek Town. If they gave chase, theyd only throw their lives away. Moreover, Moon Creek Towns safety was their priority. They were not here to fight Starlinks forces.
Elder Ye Feng, thank you for your help. Had you not arrived in time, Im afraid that Desert Tiger wouldve slaughtered us, Crimson Heart said as she approached Shi Feng, complex feelings twisting inside her.
She had wanted to prove the Hundred Flowers Palaces power to Zero Wing, but she had only embarrassed herself.
Her Dark Cloud Legion had started this operation with 1,000 members. Now, less than 200 remained. In contrast, Zero Wings party of fourteen was completely intact. Zero Wing had even escorted Cleansed Rues team without allowing the latter to suffer significant casualties.
The difference between them was obvious at a glance.
Finally, she, more or less, understood why Cleansed Rue had so strongly supported an alliance between the Hundred Flowers Palace and Zero Wing.
Youre welcome. Crimson Hearts sincere thanks surprised Shi Feng, but her actions also indirectly acknowledged Zero Wings strength. He could now assume that his trip to the Dark Night Empire hadnt been fruitless. It is still too dangerous here. Lets head to Moon Creek Town.
Crimson Heart nodded in response. She knew that they could be ambushed at any time. Immediately, both the Hundred Flowers Palace and Zero Wings members hurried toward Moon Creek Town.
Fortunately, the small army hadnt encountered any of Starlinks members during the last of their journey. This allowed the group to reach the town safely.
Once they were in the town, Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue got to work. Aside from organizing the towns defenses, they distributed Blood Source Potions to the towns elite and expert players. They had brought a combined total of 4,000 Blood Source Potions with them, and while it wouldnt be enough to turn the tide of war, they could ensure the towns survival for at least three hours against an army of 300,000 elite and expert players.
Three hours were more than enough for the Hundred Flowers Palaces main army to arrive. Once it did, Starlink would have to pay the price in blood if it wanted to capture Moon Creek Town. Needless to say, Starlink would avoid paying such a price. After all, Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor were its true targets. Losing a large number of elite players to defeat the Hundred Flowers Palace simply wasnt worth it. Doing so would only give Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor an edge in the overall war.
Following which, time passed uneventfully. Due to Crimson Heart and the others arrival, a relaxed energy replaced the previous gloomy atmosphere that had swallowed the town. Many players had even begun to chat about the upcoming Starlink siege as if they werent related to the war in the least
Big Sis Rue, Ive just received an offline message. The Guild Leader has gathered an army of 200,000 and is on the way now. She should arrive in three hours or less, Cleansed Rue excitedly told Crimson Emperor, who observed the situation beyond the town from the towns walls, as she approached.
Three hours? Crimson Heart felt as if she had just heard the voice of God, revealing an ecstatic expression.
Surviving three hours against Starlinks army was no longer a major issue for Moon Creek Town. In other words, Moon Creek Town was practically safe from capture. Next, the Hundred Flowers Palace needed to stabilize its position in the Dark Night Empire. Losing East Valley Town had significantly impacted the Palaces operations, after all.
Meanwhile, she saw the wisdom in partnering with Zero Wing after witnessing the Guilds performance. Although, she still deemed it necessary to negotiate the conditions of their partnership.
While Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue chatted merrily, Moon Creek Towns crisis alarm rang out, echoing throughout the town. Both Vice Guild Leaders spun toward the distant plains and canyon.
The alarm announced that the scout players stationed on the towns walls had discovered threatening forces, and the Guild members in town should prepare for battle.
Suddenly, a large army of players slowly entered the spacious plains. There were so many of them that the army looked like a creeping shadow swallowing the plains.
However, these players came to an abrupt halt after crossing a short distance. They quietly stood outside of the Defense Turrets range as if waiting for something.
Are they not here to attack? Cleansed Rue muttered as she watched Starlinks grounded army. Are they hesitating on whether or not to siege the town?
When an army sieged a town, it usually did so without pause to ensure that the defenders didnt have time to prepare. Otherwise, the invading army would have to pay a much greater price during the siege. As a superpower, Starlink should know this rule quite well, yet its army still stopped outside of the town. It was unusual.
Theyre not attacking? Crimson Heart had a bad feeling as she stared at Starlinks unmoving army. No, somethings not right Rue, why would an army, which has a high chance of success, stop its advance?
To raise morale? Or maybe...the army has absolute confidence in its victory? Cleansed Rue considered the situation, but after a moment, she realized something.
Tell everyone to get ready! Activate the defensive magic array! Our enemy likely has more than just 300,000 players! I think were witnessing a superpower getting serious for the first time! Crimson Heart yelled.
