Chapter 2035 â Extraordinary Towerâs Effects
The scoutâs report stunned Starlinkâs members, clearly wondering if the scout was toying with them.
Even 140 players would die instantly if they assaulted the blockade, much less fourteen players. If the Hundred Flowers Palace wanted to make it past the roadblock, it shouldâve at least sent a 1,000-man team like the legion that assaulted DesertTigerâs post
âThey must be independent players that want to head to Moon Creek Town. The Hundred Flowers Palace canât be this stupid.â
âI agree. Theyâre most likely just passing by.â
The Starlink members that had prepared for a fight began to relax. They also shot the scout disdainful looks for making them worry over nothing.
Starlink hadnât publicly announced its siege on Moon Creek Town, so very few knew about it. Even if some players discussed the situation on the official forums, most players grinding in the fields rarely checked the forums while they worked. It wasnât unexpected to find players that didnât know about Starlinkâs blockades as they made their way to the town.
In fact, they had already encountered several similar parties.
âNo! These players are different! Theyâre all wearing Black Cloaks, and I canât tell who they are. Moreover, their Movement Speed is extremely high. The man leading the charge is also riding an extraordinary Mount. The Mount is around five-meters tall. It should be a Secret-Silver rank or higher. Theyâre definitely not ordinary players!â the scout hurriedly explained.
Although Mounts had already become popular among ordinary players, Bronze rank and higher were still incredibly rare. Even at this stage of the game, the various large Guildsâ upper echelons didnât necessarily own Mysterious-Iron Mounts, let alone Secret-Silver rank.
âThatâs interesting. Everyone, get ready. Weâll see what they intend to do,â Three Kills commanded, deciding to take the situation seriously after hearing the scoutâs explanation.
As the scout had said, ordinary players werenât capable of obtaining a Secret-Silver Mount Even Three Kills had only recently secured a Secret-Silver Mount.
When they heard Three Killâs command, Sarlinkâs members began to prepare for combat.
After a short moment, a dozen or so figures appeared on the narrow mountain path. Each of them wore a Black Cloak, preventing anyone from determining whether they were independent or Guild players. However, as the scout had claimed, these players rode extraordinary Mounts. The Movement Speed was far greater than Common rank Mounts, at least as fast as Bronze rank-
âIncoming players, listen up! Starlink has closed down this road! Dismount immediately and maintain a 100-yard distance! Weâll kill any who resist!â One of Starlinkâs members shouted a warning once the strangers were nearly 100 yards from the blockade.
But despite the warning, these intruders maintained their speed, continuing their approach.
âDidnât they hear Starlinkâs warning?â
âThey had to. Iâve even farther from the blockade, and I heard it clearly. How could they not hear the warning?â
âDo they plan to charge through the blockade?â
âThat shouldnât be the case, right? Thatâs Starlink weâre talking about! Such a small force isnât even a warm-up for Starlinkâs members!â
The hundreds of independent players waiting by the roadside were astonished as they watched the dozen or so figures run towards the blockade without any hesitation.
When the cloaked figures were less than 70 yards from the blockade, another Starlink scout shouted, âA 1,000-man team from the Hundred Flowers Palace has appeared 500 yards away! Theyâre slowly approaching our location!â
âIs this first group acting as bait?â the Tier 2 Ranger, Mountain Passenger, wondered aloud after taking a swig of his beer. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he watched the dozen or so mounted figures, saying, âBoss, it seems the Hundred Flowers Palace has seriously underestimated us. Can I go ahead and eliminate those riders by myself?â
âForget it. Iâm sure this team is simply here to delay us, ensuring that the team on Desert Tigerâs road can make it to Moon Creek Town,â Three Kills said, shaking his head. Smiling, he continued, âSince that is the case, take a team of 3,000 and reinforce Desert Tigerâs forces. As for this bait, weâll leave them to Tyrant.â
âUnderstood!â Mountain Passenger replied as realization dawned on him.
As a first-rate Guild, the Hundred Flowers Palace had ways of learning about their movements. Information gathering was one of a first-rate Guildâs foundational abilities. Once the Palace had discovered their intentions, it would realize that breaking past Starlinkâs forces would be impossible on this path. Hence, they intended to send wave after wave of a dozen or so players at the blockade, buying time for the Palaceâs Dark Cloud Legion to force its way past the other blockade.
Unfortunately, Three Kills was the Palaceâs opponent this time. If he hadnât been there, its ploy might have been successful.
âWe donât need to waste time on these suicidal bastards. All ranged players, attack together!â Three Kills commanded as he glanced at Shi Feng and the other Zero Wing players.
The several hundred ranged players atop the cliffs on both sides of the road began to prepare their attacks.
However, just before these players could launch their attacks, a massive, silver magic array appeared above them, covering a 500-yard radius. Pitch-black smoke flowed out of the array, and the Starlink members who were about to use their Skills and Spells found themselves Silenced.
âAn AOE Silence?â Mountain Passenger stared at the black smoke, stunned.
AOE Silencing Skills and Spells were extremely rare in Godâs Domain. A Tier 3 AOE Silencing Scrollâs value could even rival that of a Tier 4 Magic Scroll, both treasured in any Guild. Naturally, Skills and tools that could employ an AOE Silence were far more valuable, and one would need more than just tens of thousands of Gold to purchase one.
Yet, for the sake of its bait, the Hundred Flowers Palace had used such a trump card. It was insanely extravagant.
âA futile struggle. Do they think Silencing us will change anything? Everyone, use normal attacks!â Three Kills calmly commanded, unfazed by the AOE Silence effect.
The debuff would be crucial in a team fight, Starlink still had an overwhelming numerical advantage. A single normal attack might not pose much of a threat to these trespassers, but several hundred at the same time would. Furthermore, their ranged players had the high ground. These fourteen players would find their attacks difficult to dodge.
Hearing Three Killsâs command, his teammates calmed down and used normal attacks against Shi Fengâs group.
Hundreds of arrows rained down on Zero Wingâs members.
But after a second, Starlinkâs players were stupefied.
The fourteen players moved through the arrows as if strolling through their own backyards. None of the arrows touched themâŠ
âHow is this possible?â
Starlinkâs members, as well as the Hundred Flowers Palaceâs scouting Assassins and the spectating players, stared at Zero Wingâs small force with gaping mouths. They couldnât believe what they were seeing.
They were talking about several hundred arrows!
Even ordinary experts would be forced to defend themselves with their weapons. Some ordinary experts wouldnât even block every arrow, taking a few hits. However, not only had Shi Feng and his party dodged every arrow, but they had also done so effortlessly. Based on their appearances, they still had plenty of energy to spare.
However, Seven Light and his companions werenât surprised in the least
After all, compared to dodging the Extraordinary Towerâs attacks during the trial, avoiding these arrows was childâs play. Not only were the arrows much slower, but their attack trajectories remained unchanged, as well. Players that could reach the 150-yard mark in the first-floor trial could easily avoid these arrows, not to mention Seven Light and his teammates, who had reached the 100-yard mark.
Meanwhile, after Starlinkâs Rangers launched several volleys of arrows, Seven Light, Remnant Cloud, Stubborn Bone, Graceful Moon, Silent Blade, and the other Zero Wing experts finally arrived before the blockadeâs defensive line.
The Level 58 to 60, Tier 2 Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights that made up the first defensive line had already raised their shields, forming an unshakable steel wall.
But when Seven Light and his comrades reached them, they plowed through the wall without hesitation. They did not even pause to find attack opportunities or target the MTs with weaker equipment.
Omnislash!
Whirlwind Slash!
Savage Charge!
Boom⊠Boom⊠Boom-
Like a powerful cannon blast, Zero Wingâs players forced a hole through the steel wall almost instantly. Dozens of Starlinkâs Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights were sent flying, crashing into the players at the rear.
Not a single Starlink player could be found within 15 yards of the Zero Wing partyâŠ
