Chapter 1 The Gravity of the Situation

Hearing Fei Xin say this, Mu Yun's expression also turned solemn.

Within the Dark Night Empire, the Hundred Flowers Palace's battles with the Star Ring Guild were merely minor skirmishes, or battles against a small portion of the Star Ring Guild's power, which had already put the Hundred Flowers Palace in a precarious situation.

If they were to face the Star Ring Guild at full strength, this battle would not be as easy as they had imagined.

As Fei Xin and Mu Yun arranged for guild members to be stationed on the town's walls, activating the defensive magic array that enveloped the entire Crescent Moon Town, the distant Star Ring Guild also slowly began to spread out, clearing several paths.

Through these paths, one large heavy crossbow after another was pushed forward, causing Fei Xin and Mu Yun, who were busy on the city wall, to stop their work and stare blankly.

At this moment, not only Fei Xin and Mu Yun, but all the members of the Hundred Flowers Palace on the city wall were dumbfounded.

Because the Star Ring Guild had brought out a full hundred heavy crossbows…

Even though they had never witnessed the power of the large heavy crossbows, seeing the huge iron arrows mounted on them made them deeply understand that the power was definitely not simple.

Because these iron arrows were engraved with scarlet magic patterns, and the surrounding magic power was involuntarily drawn to them. Just looking at the triggered magic power was enough to understand that the power was definitely above Tier 3, meaning the power was no weaker than a cannon tower's cannonball.

It should be known that only eight cannon towers had been built in Crescent Moon Town.

If a hundred heavy crossbows were fired simultaneously…

"Is this why they weren't in a hurry to attack?" Fei Xin looked at the heavy crossbows that were arrayed, her face indescribably cold.

She had originally thought that their Hundred Flowers Palace had some ability to resist super forces, but now, looking at the hundred heavy crossbows, she realized how laughable that was.

"Is this the Star Ring Guild?"

"Are you kidding me! How are we supposed to defend against this?"

The last bit of fighting spirit that the Hundred Flowers Palace members on the city wall had was completely dissipated by the appearance of the large heavy crossbows, replaced only by fear and despair.

Not only were they outnumbered, but even their war weapons were so far behind. How could they fight?

In the face of so many large heavy crossbows, not to mention lasting three hours, they probably couldn't even last ten or twenty minutes.

Inside Crescent Moon Town, all the players were in an uproar because of this shocking scene, especially the spies of the major guilds hidden in Crescent Moon Town, who were frantically transmitting the news.

Three hundred thousand elites were a force to be reckoned with for any guild, but they were not insurmountable.

As long as they took advantage of the city's defenses, only a little over a hundred thousand people would be needed to easily hold them off.

But a hundred large heavy crossbows were different, because with the town's current defenses, it was impossible to resist them. Even the super forces were no exception. This meant that if the Star Ring Guild wanted to destroy a town in the wild, they could. The major guilds' attempts to use town defenses to maneuver with Star Ring and gain living space had become impossible.

The moment the news was sent out, it caused a sensation among all the forces in the Dark Night Empire.

"How could this happen?" Bu Mie Zhan Xin frowned as he looked at the information his subordinate had just sent. "When did the Star Ring Guild get so many large heavy crossbows?"

They, Zhan Hun Bu Luo, had been paying attention to the Star Ring Guild's actions. Naturally, the Star Ring's attack on the Hundred Flowers Palace did not escape their notice.

They had originally prepared to secretly help the Hundred Flowers Palace to disrupt the Star Ring Guild's plans.

But now, not to mention disrupting their plans, even their own towns were in great danger.

"The Star Ring Guild really has good methods!" Hua Yingyue gritted her teeth as she looked at the hundred large heavy crossbows in the video. "This isn't just about occupying Crescent Moon Town; they simply want to establish their dominance in the Dark Night Empire!"

The Star Ring Guild could have directly taken Crescent Moon Town, but they deliberately acted slowly and methodically. Their purpose was obvious: to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys (idiom: punish an individual as an example to others).

Because Star Ring knew that the major forces of the Dark Night Empire, including the two super forces, were definitely paying attention to what was happening in Crescent Moon Town.

So, they were using the Hundred Flowers Palace to show the major forces just how powerful the Star Ring was!

"Guild Leader, are we still going to Crescent Moon Town?" A high-ranking member of the Hundred Flowers Palace couldn't help but ask.

"Immediately notify Fei Xin and Mu Yun to abandon Crescent Moon Town. Escape with as many as you can," Hua Yingyue said helplessly after thinking for a moment.

"Yes!"

…

Silent Canyon, in the Star Ring army outside Crescent Moon Town.

"Guild Leader, Fei Xin from the Hundred Flowers Palace sent a message saying they're willing to give us Crescent Moon Town directly, hoping we can let them leave." Su Luo, wearing a gorgeous mage robe and holding a crystal scepter, looked at the information her subordinate had sent and smiled at Lu Xingluo.

"Knowing the disparity in power, they want to surrender?" Lu Xingluo's lips curled into a playful smile as he heard Su Luo's words. "I heard Xuan Yuan and Kuang Hu say that some members of Zero Wing seem to be involved this time."

"Yes," Su Luo nodded.

"Zero Wing has ruined my plans several times. Since we've encountered them this time, let them pay some interest first. Tell the people of the Hundred Flowers Palace that it's not impossible to leave Silent Canyon, but they have ten minutes to kill those members of Zero Wing Guild for me. Then I will let them leave Silent Canyon safely. If they can't do it, none of them should even think about leaving Silent Canyon alive!" Lu Xingluo sneered.

"Yes! I'll notify them right away!" Su Luo immediately began contacting her subordinates.

Meanwhile, on the walls of Crescent Moon Town.

"Sister Fei Xin, the Star Ring Guild has replied. They said we can only choose one: Zero Wing or survival." Mu Yun said with a somber expression as she looked at the message in her hand.

"This Star Ring Guild really looks down on our guild." Fei Xin's eyes turned cold when she heard this. "Immediately notify everyone that we will fight Star Ring to the death! Even if we are completely annihilated, we will make Star Ring pay a price. Also, Mu Yun, you organize a team of experts later. After the battle starts, you take the Zero Wing people and retreat in the opposite direction. You should have a chance to escape. After all, this is our Hundred Flowers Palace's matter. Zero Wing has already helped a lot, so we can't drag them in anymore."

"I understand," Mu Yun nodded slightly.

Then, Mu Yun began to act under Fei Xin's command, and Fei Xin also began to arrange for everyone to prepare for the start of the battle.

Time passed quickly, and ten minutes quickly passed.

Lu Xingluo, who was standing on the high ground and looking at Crescent Moon Town, looked at Fei Xin, who had not replied for a long time, and immediately ordered: "Good! Very good! Since they want to die, I will fulfill them! Notify everyone to attack Crescent Moon Town. Don't let any member of the Hundred Flowers Palace go!"
