Chapter 177 The Might of the Small Ballista

With Water Rose's command, the five small ballista cars on the city walls fired five streaks of arrows.

The five arrows were incredibly fast, even faster than the magic pulse cannons of the Magic Towers. From a distance, they appeared as five deep-blue streams of light, piercing through the magic barrier and flying towards the Tier 3 summoned creatures.

"So fast!"

Drunken Smile, who was controlling the summoned creatures, was shocked. His instincts as an expert drove the summoned creatures to abruptly shift their bodies to the side.

At the last moment, they dodged the arrows that grazed past them.

Boom!

The arrows were incredibly powerful, piercing directly into the ground, creating a large pit within a radius of ten yards. The arrows themselves were buried deep within the earth.

Although Drunken Smile evaded the attack, the remaining four arrows all struck the other summoned creatures.

The four summoned creatures were pinned to the ground, instantly losing over one million health points. This damage might not be significant to a level 55 Grand Lord, but being hit by the arrows also caused them to be rooted in place for several seconds, putting the Grand Lord monsters, who relied on their speed, at a disadvantage.

"Fire again!" Water Rose commanded once more.

Immediately after firing, the small ballista cars had somehow reloaded their arrows and fired them at the summoned creatures again.

Seeing the arrows flying towards him again, Drunken Smile's face turned ashen.

He hadn't expected the small ballista cars to have such a rapid rate of fire.

"Dodge! Attack the magic array with all your might!" Drunken Smile quickly ordered.

Within the magic array, their space to dodge was limited, and their strength was greatly suppressed. If they didn't break through the magic array's lockdown, they would be sitting ducks.

Drunken Smile's considerations were correct, but he didn't know that the magic array trapping them was the intermediate superb magic array, Nine Star Extreme Domain. Even Mythic monsters could be suppressed by this magic array. It couldn't be easily broken by Grand Lords. All skills used from within the array were greatly weakened before reaching the caster, and the mana consumed by the caster was negligible.

How strong were Mythic monsters?

They were comparable to the NPCs guarding the large cities, only weaker in level but on the same level in terms of power.

As Tier 4 monsters, their skills were Tier 4 skills, with power far surpassing that of Tier 3 skills.

Nine Star Extreme Domain could withstand the attacks of Mythic monsters for a time, let alone Tier 3 summoned creatures.

For a time, the seventeen summoned creatures became live targets, being repeatedly pinned to the ground by the five small ballista cars and attacked by a large number of Zero Wing elites, their health plummeting rapidly.

Before long, two summoned creatures had already died.

This scene left the spectating players dumbfounded.

The dignified Tier 3 Grand Lord-level monsters were being played with, without any means to retaliate.

Usually, Grand Lord-level monsters could only be taken down by elite hundred-man teams led by experts. If they encountered Grand Lords with strong AoE abilities, even a thousand-man legion wouldn't be enough, but they were being treated like this now…

"Brother Yi Tao, it seems Zero Wing has quite a few preparations. Should we, Pantheon, make our move now?" Wan Shi Wushuang asked, smiling at Qi Yi Tao.

"Brother Wushuang is overthinking it. This variable isn't enough to change my original plan." Qi Yi Tao directly rejected Wan Shi Wushuang's suggestion and immediately contacted the true controller of the monsters, quietly asking, "Can we get the three Mythic monsters to move out now?"

According to the original plan, the monster army would clear out all the defenses of the town, while also observing all of Zero Wing's trump cards, and killing off everyone outside Zero Wing's city. In the end, they would lead the charge to capture Stone Forest Town.

These monsters were undoubtedly powerful, but if they really invaded Stone Forest Town, they wouldn't be able to hold it for long, because the entire town would be tainted with evil energy. Players wouldn't be able to stay in such an environment for long, and any gains would be for naught, unless they became like the controller, betraying the entire human race, or eliminating the mastermind behind these monsters, but both were clearly impossible.

Furthermore, they had already agreed with Pantheon that, before resolving Stone Forest Town's defensive measures, Pantheon wouldn't need to intervene. If they let Pantheon take action, Blackwater would have to cede some shares of Stone Forest Town to Pantheon.

Now, they could only rely on the Mythic monsters to break the stalemate.

If possible, Qi Yi Tao didn't want to use the three Mythic monsters. Mythic monsters were incredibly powerful, but also very difficult to control. They could only provide some general guidance. If things went wrong, they could very well rush into Stone Forest Town and cause destruction, which was why he didn't want to use them. He had thought that the Grand Lord-level monsters would be enough to solve the problem, but it was clear that wasn't the case.

With the Guardian Barrier in Stone Forest Town, all the monsters were blocked outside the barrier, even High Grand Lords were no exception. Coupled with the frantic attacks from the turrets and Magic Towers, the monsters were suffering heavy losses.

If this stalemate wasn't broken soon, his Tier 3 summoned creatures would all be wiped out.

He would be even more passive then, and would only be able to forcibly send people to destroy the Magic Towers at a greater cost.

"I have no problems here, but to increase control, the strength of these three Mythic monsters will be greatly reduced," the mysterious youth wrapped in bandages explained.

"No problem. With the power of Mythic monsters, even if their strength is greatly reduced, they are still far more powerful than High Grand Lords. I refuse to believe they can't break a broken magic barrier!" Qi Yi Tao was gnashing his teeth at the Guardian Barrier activated by Zero Wing.

The activation of this Guardian Barrier had directly turned Stone Forest Town into a fortress, leaving them with no choice but to passively endure the attacks.

With a Guardian Barrier for defense and Magic Towers for offense, the strength Zero Wing Guild displayed exceeded his expectations.

"Awoo! Awoo! Awoo!"

Soon, a series of earth-shattering roars echoed from the rear of the battlefield, causing the entire battlefield to tremble. Everyone couldn't help but look towards the source of the sound.

Three colossal figures, each hundreds of meters tall, gradually appeared in everyone's sight. The originally thirty-meter tall High Grand Lords looked like infants in front of these gigantic monsters.

Evil Blood Earth Dragon, Dark Creature, Mythic Rank, Level 65, Health Points 150,000,000

Everyone gasped when they saw the Evil Blood Earth Dragon's stats, their eyes almost popping out as if they had seen a ghost.

Just a glance from afar was enough to make them break out in cold sweat, their hearts filled with fear.

"Guild Leader, Blackwater has deployed three Mythic monsters. What do we do now?" Water Rose asked nervously, watching the approaching Evil Blood Earth Dragons.

Mythic monsters!

For players at the current stage, they were an insurmountable existence. Don't be fooled by the fact that Mythic monsters don't have much more health than High Grand Lords; the difference in strength between them was like heaven and earth, because monsters that reach the Mythic rank can unleash their Domain. This was the fundamental difference between Mythic monsters and High Grand Lords.

Within the Domain, players' attributes would be suppressed in all aspects, in addition to the mental pressure. They would be lucky to display thirty to forty percent of their combat power, and the stamina consumption would be frightening. This led to the power of Mythic monsters.

The best evidence was Ouling Town.

Back then, it was precisely because of Ouling Town that everyone realized the horror of Mythic monsters.

Even a player army of tens of thousands would only have to flee for their lives when facing a Mythic monster…
