Chapter 1 The Unforeseen Battle

Although the Scarlet Flame Witch Zhao Yueru offered a reminder, Bai Qingxue gently shook her head, smiling without a word.

"Are we really going to keep fighting like this?"

"We do have some advantages, but if we want to defeat Xiong Ba Tian Xia (Hegemon of the World), my losses will be severe. Baihe City's great advantages might be buried here. Qingxue, you have to realize that people in Xingyue City have already voiced their dissatisfaction with you. If we really lose Baihe City's advantage, they will definitely kick us when we're down."

Zhao Yueru couldn't understand what Bai Qingxue was thinking.

Although their relationship with Hei Yan was good, they couldn't ruin their painstakingly built power just because of that.

The current battle between the two guilds was not a small skirmish but a war involving tens of thousands of people.

A war would never be started lightly without sufficient benefits.

Because war was not child's play. All kinds of rewards and compensation were necessary, in addition to many other expenses. Frankly speaking, it was like throwing money into the water to hear a splash. If it were Credits, it wouldn't be a big deal. Their family had great power and could afford not to care. But this was spending game coins, which couldn't be obtained as much as they wanted.

If this war continued, their power in Baihe City would regress significantly...

Zhao Yueru knew that Bai Qingxue was a righteous and noble person who wouldn't make her companions risk their lives easily for personal reasons, which was why many experts followed and revered her.

If it were only for personal reasons, Bai Qingxue would do it even if it meant risking her life, but she would never sacrifice the entire Devouring Serpent of Baihe City.

"Is Zero Wing Guild really worth wooing and defending with all our strength?" Zhao Yueru wondered in her heart.

"It is. I trust my judgment." A firm confidence flashed in Bai Qingxue's bright, beautiful eyes. In fact, she wanted to say that she believed in Hei Yan and Ye Feng's potential.

Moreover, Hei Yan had a hidden powerful force behind him. Bai Qingxue had not been able to find out Hei Yan's details until now.

Being able to establish a relationship with Xinghen Merchant Firm and sell items there was something that ordinary forces couldn't do. At least, Bai Qingxue had never seen a guild that could establish a relationship with an NPC merchant firm. Furthermore, Zero Wing Guild's many experts seemed to have suddenly emerged out of nowhere. If there wasn't a powerful force backing them, how could a new guild attract so many experts so quickly?

That was why Bai Qingxue believed that her judgment was correct.

If Bai Qingxue knew that Shi Feng had merely brought the experts from Jinhai City in his previous life into the studio, who knew what kind of expression she would have.

Just as Devouring Serpent and Xiong Ba Tian Xia were locked in a fierce battle, the vice-guild leader of Xiong Ba Tian Xia, Xue Ji, was having a headache.

"What madness is that Bai Qingxue up to? Is it worth risking so much just to help people from another guild?" Xue Ji looked at the guild's casualty report. More than 1,500 people had died, and the cost of compensation alone would be enormous. The more he looked at the death statistics on the report, the uglier his face became.

No matter how he calculated it, this time they had suffered a huge loss.

"Guild Leader Weiwo, this time our Xiong Ba Tian Xia has suffered heavy losses for your grand plan. If you don't give us enough compensation, don't blame me for turning against you." Xue Ji was very angry, feeling like he was being used as a pawn by Weiwo Du Kuang.

"Guild Leader Xue Ji, please calm down. This matter was purely an accident. I didn't expect Bai Qingxue to be such a madwoman. I will definitely compensate you for your losses." Weiwo Du Kuang said that it was an accident and immediately agreed to Xue Ji's request without any hesitation, or rather, he didn't dare to hesitate.

Although Dark Star's strength was very strong in Baihe City, it was still inferior to Devouring Serpent.

If Xiong Ba Tian Xia misunderstood something and sided with Devouring Serpent to deal with Dark Star together, then Dark Star would be in a very awkward position and could only make compensation. After all, he was the one who asked Xiong Ba Tian Xia to resist Devouring Serpent. However, the death toll of more than 1,500 people meant that the compensation would not be a small amount, making Weiwo Du Kuang feel a little heartache.

"Alright, since Guild Leader Weiwo has already agreed, then I won't say anything else."

Just as Xue Ji and Weiwo Du Kuang were communicating, Shuise Qiangwei and the others arrived at the battlefield between Devouring Serpent and Xiong Ba Tian Xia.

"Next, it's up to you." Shi Feng commanded in the guild channel.

"Guild Leader, leave it to us. Even if it means death, we will let the people of Xiong Ba Tian Xia know that if they want to join forces with Dark Star Guild to deal with our Zero Wing Guild, they will have to pay a price."

"That's right. Since they want to start a full-scale war with us, they must know that those who offend Zero Wing, even if they are far away, will be punished!"

The more than three thousand Zero Wing members who had arrived were full of energy, waiting for Shi Feng's order, they would turn into fierce beasts and tear apart all enemies.

"Alright, listen to my instructions. All assassins sneak to the healers of Xiong Ba Tian Xia and kill them. The shield warriors, guardian knights, berserkers, and swordsmen will all launch a full-scale assault on the center of Xiong Ba Tian Xia and break up their formation. Healers follow closely behind to keep the front-line troops alive. All ranged classes, block all their escape routes. Do not let anyone escape. Shuise will take over as the commander of the ranged units."

Under Shi Feng's command, everyone acted in an orderly manner. A full three hundred assassins quietly sneaked over, while the people of Xiong Ba Tian Xia were all dealing with Devouring Serpent in the front. They didn't notice Zero Wing Guild behind them at all, let alone the stealthy assassins.

"Assassins, choose your targets, two people to deal with one, be sure to kill with one blow, and do not give the people of Xiong Ba Tian Xia any chance to react." Shi Feng said in the guild channel.

"Guild Leader, everyone is in position," a leader of the assassins reported.

"Okay, wait for me to count to five seconds and then attack together. After the assassins attack, the shield warriors and guardian knights remember to activate your life-saving skills immediately. You must become the wall for everyone to block all damage. Use Frost Grenades to attack when you get close to break through the first wave of defense of Xiong Ba Tian Xia. Then, disperse their formation. Understood?" Shi Feng said.

Then, as Shi Feng counted down, everyone became nervous, especially the assassins who would act first.

The healers of Xiong Ba Tian Xia were extremely comfortable, without a trace of danger.

However, they couldn't be blamed for this.

With tens of thousands of troops in front of them, no enemy could come over without breaking through the front lines. Moreover, even if one or two people slipped through, it was insignificant to the hundreds of healers in the rear. As long as they showed themselves, they would die.

"Alright! Listen to my command!"

"Five... four... three... two... one."

"Kill, don't let anyone go!"

After Shi Feng shouted, more than three hundred assassins acted at the same time, with two people attacking the healers from behind simultaneously.

Ordinary healers would lose most of their lives if they were attacked by assassins, let alone two elite assassins.

These healers only felt a pain in the back of their heads, a burst of dizziness, and a cold dagger slashed across their necks. Terrifying damage numbers popped up on their heads, and their bodies were out of control.

The terrifying burst of two assassins, coupled with continuous control skills, made it difficult for a healer to not die.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two hundred healers of Xiong Ba Tian Xia died. Then, the other melee classes of Zero Wing rushed up, a sea of people.

Immediately afterward, the entire area was sealed off by the guild war order, and no one could use a Return Scroll to leave this area.
