The NPCs were using a battle formation skill that the players had never seen before. Under the command of their leader, the guards instantly got into formation and began their Charge.
The players from Traversing Four Seas were the ones who felt the most pitiful. None of them had ever thought that these NPCs would actually attack them. Amid a flurry of questions like "What bandits? Who's a bandit?", they were immediately thrown off their feet by the guards' charge.
"F * CK!" the players exclaimed. Unfortunately, they were up against a bunch of robots, so they continued to be at a loss as the NPCs continued to charge at them.
All they saw was the guards emitting a white glow as they formed a human triangle and then a straight line, charging left and right into the crowd of players with unstoppable momentum. Quite a few players were sent flying in the air, creating a chaotic yet gorgeous scene.
"Tsk tsk!" the men from Young Master's Elite exclaimed.
Brother Assist was quickly jotting down notes in his little booklet as he muttered, "That's too fierce. That's just too fierce."
"How tragic!" Royal God Call pretended to mourn the state of the universe as he closed his eyes.
"Isn't that a little too much?" Sword Demon could not bear it.
"There's nothing we can do. Who can stop them now?" Young Master Han actually sighed.
"Nope," Gu Fei spoke up as well. Even he felt powerless in front of this group of powerful guards. Regardless of whether it was the formation when charging or the movements when attacking, all the details were meticulously done in unison. This was the difference between humans and machines. How long would it take for a human to train to such a degree of precision in teamwork and teamwork?
In kung fu terms, when facing such an enemy, there was no opening from head to toe.
Even though there was no opening that could be created, it still required a corresponding level of strength. No one knew what level these NPC guards were at, but each one of them was probably as strong as a BOSS. Now that they were grouped together, even the level 40 Gu Fei was helpless against them. No matter how good one's skills were, this was still a MMO, right? The difference in levels, skills, and equipment could not be completely made up for by skills alone.
Naturally, the players from Traversing Four Seas would not allow themselves to be slaughtered by their enemies. Youthful Reflection, who was usually in charge of leading the group battle, was now hoarse from all the shouting. The guild channel was flooded with messages as if it had been infected by a virus. The players from Traversing Four Seas evaded their enemies' Charge as they quickly formed a formation.
"Arrow Formation, Arrow Formation!" Youthful Reflection shouted. Traversing Four Seas' Arrow Formation was the result of his research and training, and it was what he was most proud of.
"As expected of the Traversing Four Seas. He does have some skills," the experts praised.
Under the cover of the Warriors and other job classes, Traversing Four Seas' Arrow Formation was completed. The Mages were also equipped to bombard the enemy.
"Release the arrows!" Right now, there was no time to wait for an opportunity. Seeing that the Archers were almost ready, Youthful Reflection immediately gave the order.
A sky full of arrows flew out and pressed down on the soldiers. The first wave of arrows had caused the opponent to pause for a moment. Just as the players from Traversing Four Seas saw a glimmer of hope, they heard the leader of the opposing Knights yell, "Protect and charge!"
Thus, the guards once again pulled out their shields in unison and placed them in front of their bodies. The second wave of arrows was immediately blown away by the wind.
"Charge!"
Once the order was given, the guards held their shields in front of them to protect their bodies, while the swords in their right hands were placed beside the shields, ready to attack at any time.
"How shameless!" The players from Traversing Four Seas were in tears. The formation that they had painstakingly formed was once again scattered.
From the current job class settings in Parallel World, those who had the Shield Aptitude to use a shield to protect themselves were all Guardians. This was the ultimate job class in Parallel World, and its combat strength was mediocre. However, these NPC guards currently wielded their swords with indomitable combat strength, and they could even pull out their shields to protect themselves. For both weapons to meet the Shield Aptitude requirement, what else could this be but shameless? Theoretically speaking, this was no different from dual cultivation of magic and martial arts.
The men from Young Master's Elite were naturally very shocked as well. Brother Assist recorded this even as he asked, "Just what job classes are these guards? Are they Warriors or Knights? "
Everyone shook their heads.
"I'll go over and use Appraisal on them," Brother Assist said.
"No need." Royal God Call stopped him. "The guild channel is already in chaos. Countless people have already appraised them, and they're all left with question marks."
"Their levels are pretty high!" Brother Assist exclaimed.
Turning back to the battlefield, the scattered players from Traversing Four Seas finally found some clues. Some of them pointed at the guards' shields and said, "They're Yueye City's guards. They're Yueye City's guards."
Parallel World always used emblems to differentiate players' groups. Every city had their own emblems, and they could be seen everywhere inside and outside the city. The emblems on the shields of these guards were none other than Yueye City's.
Knowing this was one thing, but they were still at a loss. Everyone was very confused as to how they had offended Yueye City's NPCs and ended up in such an inhumane state of affairs.
Traversing Four Seas' trump card, the Arrow Formation, was no longer of any use, so the rest of the resistance was not even worth mentioning.
Be it the Mages' carpet bombardment, the Thieves' Stealth sneak attack, or the Warriors' head-on clash, they were all sent flying by the NPC guards.
Players from Traversing Four Seas fell one after another, no longer paying attention to their leaders' commands as they each searched for a way to escape. Even Oathless Sword and the other two core members were no longer in the mood to resist, each leading the remaining players to escape in a different direction.
The NPC guards did not pursue them either, and when Traversing Four Seas began to flee, they remained where they were, maintaining the situation. After a few moments, all the players from Traversing Four Seas who could escape had fled, leaving only the heavily injured players lying on the ground.
"Did you notice?!" Brother Assist exclaimed, "Not a single one of those NPC guards died despite their charge."
"I noticed it long ago," Young Master Han said.
No matter when or where, a white light would always appear when a player died. However, the NPC guards were the source of that white light, and the players from Traversing Four Seas did not contribute a single bit. After fighting for so long, they had only been knocked down and had not died yet.
Following this, the Knight in the lead ordered his subordinates, "Take them all back to the prison."
"Yes sir!" The NPC guards shouted. Following this, the NPC guards picked up all the fallen players and used some sort of god-like system skill, causing the players to be unable to resist as they were escorted into line by the NPC guards. The leader of the knights bowed to Mr. Adrian, and led the guards to depart with the group of players.
The men from Young Master's Elite were left gaping.
Even Young Master Han did not expect such an outcome.
"What's the meaning of this? Where are they being taken to? "Everyone was guessing as they quickly asked Royal God Call to update them on the guild channel.
"There's no news. The people being taken away didn't send a single message," Royal God Call, who was keeping an eye on the guild channel, replied.
"This … Could it be that the messaging function has been forcefully disabled, just like in prison?" Brother Assist wondered.
"Are these people going to be sent back to prison?"
"How many hours?"
As they discussed this, they involuntarily walked out from the dilapidated courtyard of the church and watched as the NPC guards escorted the players away.
This strange formation attracted quite a few gazes along the way. The players from Traversing Four Seas did not dare to get close, afraid that they would be treated as bandits and captured by the NPC guards. The other players who were curious wanted to ask about this matter, but they were all stopped by the NPC guards from afar. Those who refused to comply with the NPC's orders simply flew away.
"Making an enemy out of NPCs is a huge mistake," Brother Assist sighed as he closed his booklet with a heavy thud.
"Be careful when you PK next time. You've seen how powerful the NPC guards are!" War Without Wounds said to Gu Fei.
"There aren't that many NPC guards in the city," Gu Fei said.
"Sooner or later, we'll get the NPC guards to capture a PK maniac like you," Royal God Call said.
"Just kill him on the spot, considering how many crimes he's committed," War Without Wounds said.
Lou Zheng did not know where he was going when Young Master Han interrupted, "What's the point of talking about that? Let's continue with what we're doing."
"What are we doing?" Everyone was so excited that they forgot about everything else after witnessing a high-level fight that they would not normally get to see.
"I'll contact Youthful Reflection …" Young Master Han said.
However, there was no reply. Youthful Reflection was clearly online, but he did not say a word.
"That guy got captured as well, right?" Everyone suddenly realized.
"Don't tell me the note is coincidentally in his hands?" They looked at each other.
"What's the rush?" Young Master Han said, "Looking at the situation with Traversing Four Seas, we won't be able to continue with the mission today. Let's head back first!"
"Yeah, it's about time to log off," Gu Fei looked at the time. They had not done anything else tonight except for running back and forth.
The six of them prepared to head back to Yueye City first. Meanwhile, June's Rain, who had been traveling with them all this while, excitedly ran back to Mr. Adrian's house to investigate the cellar.
On their way back to the city, the NPC guards that were escorting the Traversing Four Seas' players could be vaguely seen ahead of them. The six of them unexpectedly bumped into the Traversing Four Seas' players as they walked.
Oathless Sword and Gale Force were leading a group of guild members as they gloomily stared at the NPC guards in front of them. Seeing the six members of Young Master's Elite, they remained expressionless, not even flashing a smile.
"Guild leader Oathless," Young Master Han took the initiative to wave and greet him.
"Leader Han," Oathless Sword listlessly returned the greeting.
"What's going on there?" Young Master Han pointed at the NPC guards in front of them. "I think I saw your men together with the NPC. I sent a message to Youthful Reflection, but he didn't reply. "
Gu Fei and the others felt that Young Master Han was really asking for a beating when he already knew the answer.
