Chapter 1386 Middle-Tier Mana Pulse Cannon’s Power

“Why did the Shadow Dragon Legion withdraw?”

“Look, the Shadow Dragon Legion seems to have lost quite a few members.”

“No way! Is the Shadow Dragon Legion actually not a match for the Zero Wing Guild?”

The Crimson Star Guild members watched the Shadow Dragon Legion retreat, unsure of what to say for a moment. After all, the Shadow Dragon Legion was the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion’s trump card. Although it only had a thousand members, even a ten-thousand-strong army from a first-rate guild would likely be helpless against them, especially in such a narrow terrain, where a thousand-man legion could best display its combat power.

Yet, the Shadow Dragon Legion’s defeat in a one-thousand-on-one-thousand battle against the Zero Wing Guild was unbelievable…

“Guild Leader, the Shadow Dragon Legion has withdrawn. What do we do now?” Lonely City asked, his heart filled with shock as he watched the departing Shadow Dragon Legion.

“That Shadow Dragon Legion is a bunch of useless trash! They were boasting so much about handling it earlier,” Crimsonfire Fox glared at the retreating Shadow Dragon Legion, gnashing his teeth. “Since the Shadow Dragon Legion can’t be relied on now, we’ll solve this ourselves. I refuse to believe that the Zero Wing Guild can truly withstand the encirclement of a ten-thousand-strong army!”

Rumors had always circulated about super-guilds’ trump card legions being able to annihilate a ten-thousand-strong army from a first-rate guild with just a thousand members, but these were just rumors. In a true battle of attrition, the victor was far from certain.

“Charge! Surround the entire hillside. Don’t let a single member of the Zero Wing Guild leave alive,” Crimsonfire Fox ordered.

At Crimsonfire Fox’s command, over fifteen thousand elite members surged towards the hillside where the Zero Wing Guild was located like a tidal wave.

However, as they approached within 1,000 yards, two beams of light descended directly from the hillside.

Before the crowd could react, the black and white beams landed amidst the army, creating two pillars of black and white light. The spectacle was so magnificent that even the players in Greenhill Town could clearly see it.

As the black and white light pillars dissipated, a large area was emptied within the ten-thousand-strong army.

Even though the Crimson Star Guild members were widely dispersed, the two strikes resulted in the instant loss of five to six thousand players…

Although the four thousand Magic Crystals spent on the two strikes caused Shi Feng a bit of heartache, annihilating so many players made it worthwhile.

“Zero… Wing!” Crimsonfire Fox’s eyes turned bloodshot as he watched the Crimson Star members turn to ashes, and he roared out each word.

While Crimsonfire Fox displayed great anger, the Crimson Star members felt more terror.

With just two shots, they had instantly wiped out one-third of their combat power. If a few more shots came, their ten-thousand-strong army would become a joke.

On the other side, the retreating Shadow Dragon Legion members felt immense relief as they watched the dissipating black and white light pillars.

If their commander hadn’t decisively ordered them to retreat, they might have been among the dead.

At that moment, they truly understood that the guild’s massive investment in numbers was a joke. Collecting war weapons was the true path to power.

“Commander, are we really abandoning Greenhill Town?” a Shadow Dragon Legion member asked the commander, Shadowfang.

Nine Dragon Emperor had personally instructed them to protect Greenhill Town. Abandoning it now would be difficult to explain to Nine Dragon Emperor.

“Protect? How are we supposed to protect it?” Commander Shadowfang angrily retorted. “We can only blame that idiot Crimsonfire Fox! He used petty tricks to stop the Zero Wing Guild from capturing Hidden Mist Town, so Zero Wing is using Crimson Star as a warning. The current Zero Wing Guild isn’t as easy to deal with as before. Now that they have such a trump card, tell the other guilds to behave themselves until they have a way to counter those war weapons.”

Originally, he didn’t want to interfere in the conflict between the Zero Wing Guild and the Crimson Star Guild, but the Zero Wing Guild had already attacked, forcing him to act. In the end, he had tried to outsmart someone and ended up suffering a loss himself. The brief skirmish cost the Shadow Dragon Legion over three hundred members, which was a significant blow to them.

“What are you all afraid of? Charge! Kill them all!” Crimsonfire Fox roared. “That kind of attack requires a very long cooldown time. They only have a thousand people. As long as we can eliminate the Zero Wing Guild members quickly, they won’t have a chance to use that attack again!”

Although the Intermediate Mana Pulse Cannon was incredibly powerful, he had already estimated its cooldown time. From the first shot to now, a full four minutes and thirty seconds had passed, meaning that the cooldown time was four minutes and thirty seconds. In that time, a ten-thousand-strong army could easily annihilate a thousand players.

The frightened crowd also realized this and regained their confidence, charging towards the hillside once more.

“Guild Leader, they’re charging up again,” Mo Wusheng reported in the guild chat.

“Alright, everyone hold your positions and stall for time as much as possible!” Shi Feng was not at all surprised by Crimsonfire Fox’s decision. Crimsonfire Fox had no way out at this point. If he allowed them to attack, not only would Crimson Star’s army be at risk, but even Greenhill Town would be threatened. Naturally, he could only fight desperately.

However, charging up the hillside was not so easy. The surrounding areas were guarded by the main force and the Black God Legion, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Attacking from the other cliffs would only make them easy targets.

This was the main reason why he had chosen this hillside. Otherwise, he would have chosen a location further away to attack from, as the Intermediate Mana Pulse Cannon had a maximum range of 20,000 yards.

With Aqua Rose, White Feather, and others leading the defense on the four paths, it was as if an impregnable fortress had been built.

Especially the area led by Zhao Yueru. With the MTs blocking in the front, Zhao Yueru in the back was like a chain of artillery. Even if the MTs activated various life-saving skills and were covered in damage-absorbing shields, they were instantly killed by Zhao Yueru’s powerful flame magic. The back row healers didn’t even have a chance to heal before they died. A single rain of fire could instantly kill twenty or thirty people.

The Crimson Star Guild’s only option was to exchange firepower.

However, whether it was the Zero Wing Guild’s main force or the Black God Legion, they had all consumed Sea God’s Blessing, which increased their magic resistance by 100 points. Combined with their inherent defense and magic resistance, even if the MTs didn’t block the attacks, they wouldn’t take more than 4,000 points of damage. Moreover, the majority of the attacks were blocked by shields, so they were lucky to deal over a hundred points of damage.

White Feather was like a goddess of war. With a True Words Shield from the back row priests, she directly charged into the opposing MT army and began to slaughter. A single Whirlwind Slash directly sent over a dozen MTs flying, and the majority of the attacks were dodged by White Feather. Even if she didn’t dodge, the Seven Luminaries Battle Armor combined with Sea God’s Blessing ensured that the damage taken wouldn’t exceed 2,000 points. Activating the Seven Luminaries Domain only made her more unstoppable.

Aqua Rose’s situation was even simpler. As long as the Water Domain was activated, the twelve water serpents guarding the small path were an unsolvable problem. No matter how many came, they would all be knocked flying. The only issue was mana, but with Oracle and Druid players in the back row replenishing Aqua Rose’s mana, combined with the occasional Advanced Mana Recovery Potion, she could sustain the defense long enough to exceed the Intermediate Mana Pulse Cannon’s cooldown time.

Time passed by, minute by minute. Although over twenty Zero Wing Guild players had been killed, the Crimson Star Guild was in a much worse state. In just a few minutes, nearly three thousand people had died. The MT losses were especially severe, exceeding eighty percent, leaving them without any meat shields to block the attacks. They could only use melee players to take the hits.

“It’s about time we let the Crimson Star Guild feel the true power of the Zero Wing Guild.” Shi Feng looked at the increasing number of Crimson Star members gathering at the foot of the hill and took out the Book of Darkness and a large number of Small Ballistae from his bag.
