Chapter 198 I Can’t Accept It

Nearly two hundred healers from Xiong Ba Tian Xia died instantly.

This immediately alarmed everyone in Xiong Ba Tian Xia.

"Run! We're under attack!"

The other healers of Xiong Ba Tian Xia had to face hundreds of assassins, and they were so close, without a single protector by their side. The only option was to flee, running towards the main force of Xiong Ba Tian Xia.

Healers were naturally short-legged to begin with, and they were quickly caught up by the extremely fast assassins.

Originally, these healers would have had some resistance if they had helped each other against the assassins of the Zero Wing Guild, and it wouldn't have been easy to kill them.

But running like this immediately caused chaos, and even those who could have survived would die.

Without healers, there was no resistance, and they were simply lambs to the slaughter, killed at will by the Zero Wing Guild’s assassins. By the time the rear guards of Xiong Ba Tian Xia rushed over to protect the healers, most of them were already dead.

These healers originally thought they were safe, but they soon discovered that another thousand people had rushed over, roaring like tigers. The hundreds of guards protecting the rear were instantly scattered, giving the Zero Wing Guild's assassins the opportunity to continue killing the healers of Xiong Ba Tian Xia.

"Guild Leader Xue Ji, something bad has happened! Our rear has been ambushed, and we've lost more than half of our healers. These people are too fierce; we can't stop them here. We need support!" A团长 (tuanzhang, regiment commander) who was blocking the Zero Wing Guild’s attack hurriedly reported.

"What? Where did these people come from?" Xue Ji, who had been commanding the battle at the forefront, turned around upon hearing the report and saw that a thousand people were charging all the way, and the people of Xiong Ba Tian Xia who went to resist were instantly defeated. These people were like a sharp sword, trying to divide the Xiong Ba Tian Xia’s team in two.

Xiong Ba Tian Xia was currently locked in a difficult struggle with Serpent of Devouring. Being suddenly attacked like this, the damage it caused to Xiong Ba Tian Xia was self-evident.

Without the healers' recovery, the shield warriors and guardian knights at the front of Xiong Ba Tian Xia were quickly killed, retreating step by step. In a short time, over a hundred people had died.

"Damn it, who are they? How dare they start a war with our Xiong Ba Tian Xia? Don't they want to live?" Xue Ji's eyes turned blood red, wishing he could tear the people who ambushed their rear into pieces.

"Guild Leader, they're wearing six-winged emblems on their chests. They should be from the Zero Wing Guild," a ranger said.

"The Zero Wing Guild? Aren't they fighting Dark Star? Why would they suddenly run over here?" Xue Ji's heart was full of questions, but the questions were quickly suppressed. He immediately sneered in the guild battle channel, "Just a group of stragglers and defeated soldiers, daring to launch a sneak attack, simply overestimating themselves. Everyone, turn around and launch a full-scale attack on the Zero Wing Guild. Annihilate these people from the Zero Wing Guild first."

Xue Ji was also a high-level member of Xiong Ba Tian Xia, and had experienced many battles with tens of thousands of people, so he knew very well what needed to be done most right now.

Serpent of Devouring was already no match, and now they were being attacked from the rear by Zero Wing. Being surrounded on both sides was fatal for Xiong Ba Tian Xia. If they continued to fight, they would be completely annihilated. The solution was to break through one side, or defend and wait for rescue.

Defense was obviously not an option, so they could only break through. It was impossible to break through Serpent of Devouring, so that meant annihilating the Zero Wing Guild. In terms of combat power and numbers, Xiong Ba Tian Xia completely overwhelmed the Zero Wing Guild.

Bai Qingxue of Serpent of Devouring quickly noticed that the people of Xiong Ba Tian Xia were being ambushed, and it was from the rear. Although she didn't know who it was, this was a great opportunity that might severely damage Xiong Ba Tian Xia.

"Everyone, charge over there! We must not let Xiong Ba Tian Xia reorganize their team." Bai Qingxue smiled slightly, commanding tens of thousands of players to launch a fierce attack.

Xiong Ba Tian Xia suffered heavy casualties in order to adjust their formation and turn around to attack the Zero Wing Guild, unknowingly losing thousands of people.

Xue Ji's heart was bleeding.

They had only lost a little over a thousand people after fighting for so long, but now they had lost over a thousand people in just a few minutes...

"Kill! Annihilate the Zero Wing Guild for me!" Xue Ji pointed his sword at the three thousand people of the Zero Wing Guild, roaring in the guild channel.

At this time, Xiong Ba Tian Xia still had nearly ten thousand people, so dealing with three thousand people was easy.

The two sides immediately fought fiercely. All that could be seen was a sky full of arrows and firelight. Some free players watching the show from a distance were shocked beyond words by this impactful scene. It was even more shocking than any movie scene.

The sounds of fighting, swords clashing, and magic bombardment intertwined, with gravel flying and dust swirling.

This was nothing less than a real battlefield bloodbath.

Individual strength was insignificant here. Hundreds of fireballs and ice arrows would instantly kill even the strongest MT (Main Tank).

"Very good, it's almost time to use them." Shi Feng, through the live video from 水色蔷薇 (Shuise Qiangwei, Aqua Rose), had been observing every move on the battlefield. Seeing that the two sides had been fighting for a while and the people had gathered almost together, he then said in the guild channel, "Use the ice grenades and magic scrolls. Don't hold back, use them all at once."

As soon as Shi Feng gave the order, the crowd, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately threw out the ice grenades.

Although they were only basic ice grenades, the effect on players was halved, and the damage dealt was only one hundred points. However, with a thousand people using them, the accumulated damage exceeded one hundred thousand points. Most players were around level 15, and even top experts could only reach level 20.

Level 20 players were shield warriors and guardian knights, and their health points were only around three thousand. In the face of numerous basic ice grenades, they were simply cannon fodder and would be killed in minutes.

The moment the ice grenades were thrown, a large area of Xiong Ba Tian Xia’s players collapsed, and those who didn't die turned into snow-white ice sculptures.

This directly stunned the Xiong Ba Tian Xia players who were about to rush over, and their hearts were filled with terror.

Shuise Qiangwei, standing in the distance, only saw the center of the battlefield suddenly turn into an icy plain, all white.

In this lush, green, and hot place, it was considered a unique scenery.

However, Xue Ji was in no mood to appreciate it, because this wave of ice grenade attacks instantly killed more than a thousand people from Xiong Ba Tian Xia. Adding the few seconds of control and the pursuit from Serpent of Devouring behind, the death toll was at least three thousand.

Moreover, even without this wave of ice grenades, Xue Ji had discovered a very, very important thing.

The total number of the Zero Wing Guild was only three thousand, but the vast majority of them were elite players. With the advantage in levels and equipment, one person could easily fight two or even three ordinary players.

If the ten thousand people of Xiong Ba Tian Xia were attacking three or four thousand ordinary players, they could have annihilated them in no time and easily broken through the encirclement. But the significance of three thousand elite players was very different. It was impossible to break through in a short time, and even if they wanted to break through, they would have to pay a considerable price.

Just like how Xiong Ba Tian Xia blocked Serpent of Devouring, they only needed a few hundred elite players to block two thousand people from Serpent of Devouring.

Now, facing three thousand elite players, plus this ice grenade attack, Xue Ji wanted to die. If he had known this, it would have been easier to break through on the Serpent of Devouring side.

Why did the Zero Wing Guild have so many elite players?

Xue Ji couldn't understand it, and he couldn't think about it anymore. There was only one thing he could do.

"Everyone, listen to my command! Use the Return Scroll to leave this place immediately!" Xue Ji shouted extremely unwillingly in the guild channel.

If they faced a few more waves of ice grenade attacks from the Zero Wing Guild and the siege from Serpent of Devouring, Xiong Ba Tian Xia would definitely be completely annihilated. There was only one thing they could do.

Escape!

Although using the Return Scroll was expensive and time-consuming, and many people would definitely die during the time it took to use the Return Scroll, it was better than being completely annihilated.

"Guild Leader, something bad has happened! This area is blocked, and we can't use the Return Scroll."
