Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 692 The Strength of the Consortium
Star-Moon City, Star-Moon Restaurant.
The Star-Moon Restaurant was the only five-star luxury restaurant in Star-Moon City. It was a towering thirty-six stories tall, standing in the heart of Star-Moon City's trade center district. Eating in the top-floor private room of the Star-Moon Restaurant allowed one to appreciate the scenery of Star-Moon City at any time.
However, even expert players couldn't afford a single meal in the top-level private room.
That was because the minimum spending here was 30 gold coins.
Usually, only noble NPCs came, and players simply wouldn't set foot here.
However, in today's top-level VIP private room, a female player in a purple, gorgeous robe, as beautiful as fire, was enjoying the delicacies. Each dish on the table was worth more than 2 gold coins, enough for ordinary players to buy a rather decent high-level equipment.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a burly middle-aged man walked in.
"Miss Liu Shishi, the things you requested have all been arranged. Whether it's red-named players or major studios, they're all very satisfied with the rewards. The rest is just watching Zero Wing get exhausted to death." The burly man walked respectfully to the woman in the purple robe and sneered.
This man was none other than Glory Echo, the guild leader of Twilight Echo.
After Shi Feng angered Liu Shishi, Liu Shishi asked Glory Echo to find a way to deal with the Zero Wing Guild, but Glory Echo didn't have any good solutions.
This wasn't Twilight Echo's home ground, and even if it was, there was nothing they could do about Stone Forest Town.
So, she enlisted the help of various studios and red-named players to deal with the Zero Wing Guild.
Those who have nothing to lose aren't afraid of those who have something to lose.
These players weren't like guilds, allowing Zero Wing to focus their fire on them. Nor did they rely on Stone Forest Town to level up and kill monsters. It would be hard for Zero Wing to deal with them, and the manpower and resources spent would only drag Zero Wing down.
Especially those red-named players, each one was a master of field battles. Seizing the opportunity to kill some of Zero Wing's core members was simply effortless. In addition, there were ambushes and harassment, completely preventing the members of the Zero Wing Guild from operating within the Star-Moon City area.
Moreover, Liu Shishi had arranged many major actions later, and she wasn't afraid that Zero Wing wouldn't be finished.
"What did Star River Alliance and Devouring Serpent say?" Liu Shishi asked softly.
"Star River Alliance agreed, but Devouring Serpent doesn't know what's good for them. However, I contacted the former guild leader of Devouring Serpent. If Miss Liu Shishi agrees to help him, he'll have a way to take down Devouring Serpent." Glory Echo was very shocked by Bai Qingxue's refusal at the time.
It should be known that Devouring Serpent wasn't as strong as before. After the internal split, Devouring Serpent's situation wasn't very good. Several original partner groups had abandoned Devouring Serpent one after another. It was already a miracle that they were still holding on. They urgently needed a large amount of funds to operate the guild's development, but Bai Qingxue refused.
Liu Shishi had offered conditions no less than acquiring Twilight Echo. Moreover, Bai Qingxue was still the guild leader, holding many shares in Devouring Serpent, and her net worth immediately soared more than tenfold.
However, Liu Shishi was determined to get the Stoneclaw Mountains. If she didn't take down the two top-tier guilds in Star-Moon City, it would be too difficult to take down the Stoneclaw Mountains. So, Glory Echo found the former guild leader, Cao Chenghua. Cao Chenghua's power was deeply rooted in Devouring Serpent, but Cao Chenghua couldn't do anything because several important elders were currently supporting Bai Qingxue.
But if the Kaiyuan Consortium backed him, Cao Chenghua would have a great chance to regain control of Devouring Serpent.
"Since that's the case, then agree to him. I don't want to waste too much time in Star-Moon City." Liu Shishi nodded indifferently, a trace of coldness appearing on her lips as she thought of the arrogant Shi Feng from before.
For a bumpkin like Shi Feng, she decided to let Shi Feng know what kind of existence Zero Wing had provoked.
Inside the inner area of the Stoneclaw Mountains, the Zero Wing main force and the red-named players were already fighting fiercely.
Vulture activated Frosty Aura, suddenly causing the temperature within a 15-yard radius to drop sharply, emitting a large amount of cold aura. The speed of more than a dozen red-named players was reduced by 40%, and the damage Vulture received immediately became only a hundred or two points.
These red-named players weren't stupid either. Feeling their speed decrease, they began to move away from Vulture, but their speed decreased again by 40% in the next second. No matter how fast they ran, they couldn't outrun Vulture.
After 3 seconds, they were all frozen.
"What kind of skill is this?" Some melee players who wanted to rush over to deal with Vulture immediately stopped, looking at their companions turned into ice sculptures in shock.
Such crowd control ability and defense made it impossible for these melee players to get close to Vulture. They could only let Vulture rush towards the back-row healers.
However, these red-named players who often engaged in PK battles weren't weaklings either. Each of them had skills to remove control effects, and they activated them at the first moment.
If they were completely frozen, they would be living targets, and the ranged players on Zero Wing's side could easily deal damage to them. In terms of equipment, the average quality of the Zero Wing main force's equipment was at least two levels higher than theirs.
Especially North Wind's attacks. Because he had the Tier 1 weapon Gale, even MTs like Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights with damage reduction skills would take more than a thousand points of damage when hit. If North Wind's skill hit, it would be two or three thousand points of damage. A critical hit would be five or six thousand points of damage.
The HP of these red-named MT players was at most 9000 points, and some had only 8000 points. One skill critical hit would take away most of their HP, and even healing couldn't keep up.
Moreover, the arrows shot by North Wind were extremely fast, making it difficult for even expert players to dodge, let alone focus on dodging when they had opponents in front of them.
But just as these players broke free from the frozen effect, they suddenly realized something was wrong.
Although they were unfrozen, their speed was still decreasing, and they couldn't shake off Vulture. They could only be arbitrarily killed by Vulture attacking their vitals, losing six hundred or more HP with each hit. One Hammer of Sanction stun them again, dealing a critical hit of more than three thousand points of damage, instantly killing a half-health level 31 Shield Warrior and dropping two pieces of equipment.
These red-named players were players from dark forces. Even if they were red-named, the penalty for dropping items was very light. Only the experience points lost were more, almost one and a half to two levels.
Cola and Ye Wumian dealt even more damage than Vulture. One skill critical hit was four thousand points of damage. Unlucky half-health melee red-named players were instantly killed.
"Damn it, why is their skill damage so high?" Many red-named players felt incredulous.
These red-named players didn't know that Cola and the others' skill completion was far beyond theirs, so the skill damage they dealt was naturally very high.
3 seconds later, those melee players who had managed to break free from the frozen effect were frozen again.
Faced with the ranged attacks of the Zero Wing main force, even with healing, they were bound to die.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen red-named melee players fell to the ground. At the same time, a large number of Zero Wing melee players suddenly emerged, launching a pincer attack from both sides. Because the focus was on Cola and the others, the red-named players were thrown into disarray by the pincer attack from both sides.
Just as the melee red-named players went to resist, the assassins like Fire Dance and Flying Shadow suddenly appeared behind the healers of the red-named players without anyone noticing.
Ambush!
Backstab!
Shadow Kill!
Fire Dance and the others' combo directly took away several healers.
The assassins on the red-named players' side had the same idea as Fire Dance and the others. They had long since circled behind the Zero Wing main force and began to attack the healing classes.
"Die!"
Blood痕 had long aimed at the Priest Ziyan Liuyun. A Shadow Step appeared behind Ziyan Liuyun, and the dagger in his hand stabbed straight towards Ziyan Liuyun's heart.
