When Stone Forest Town's players saw the thirteen Tier 3 summoned creatures liberated, their mood immediately plummeted. ★ ★
If they only faced Tier 3 summoned creatures, they might still be confident of victory.
After all, they had killed Great Lord ranked monsters before. Defeating 20,000 elite players would be a piece of cake.
However, the true problem was that the magic barrier was gone …
They had no choice but to face the endless monster army.
"All MTs, forward! Help the NPC guards stop the monsters! Do not let them enter the town!" Shiuse Qiangwei hurriedly commanded.
Previously, the Protection Barrier had been able to block all external damage. Moreover, it had only consumed Mana. As long as players continuously took turns to rest, the barrier could last for a long time. Now, however, it was no longer possible.
In the next moment, a Level 60 Great Lord smacked the Level 40 MT to death on the spot. Even the healers did not have time to heal the MT. If not for the Level 60 Tier 2 NPC guards blocking the attack in time, the Great Lord would've long since charged into the town.
However, this was not a long-term solution.
Although Stone Forest Town had been wantonly recruiting NPCs, due to Stone Forest Town's fame, they had not managed to recruit many powerful NPCs. Hence, the number of guards they could recruit was limited. Unlike during the town's protection period, as long as they had enough Coins, they could recruit as many guards as they wanted.
At the very most, there were only 1,000 slots available.
Among them, the majority were Level 60 or 70 Tier 1 NPCs. Less than 100 were available.
Tier 2 NPCs knew how to coordinate with each other, but monsters did not. Hence, the NPCs' combat power was very high, and they could fend off more monsters.
However, just the number of Lord ranked monsters and Tier 2 NPCs remained the same …
Even if they had Tier 2 NPCs, they would be powerless to stop the monsters.
After the first clash, Zero Wing's members had already lost over 600 members. Moreover, this number continued to fall at a rapid pace. Even with the Magic Towers and Defense Turrets continuously clearing out Zero Wing's members, they couldn't slow the increase.
"Laughing Drunkard, ignore the summoned creatures and guards blocking our way! Even if we have to suffer heavy losses, we need to destroy the Magic Towers and Defense Turrets!" Abandoned Wave commanded sternly.
Shi Feng had joined forces with the bandaged man to whittle away at Stone Forest Town's strength through the monsters. However, the main reason was the defensive fortifications.
If Stone Forest Town lost its defensive fortifications, by the time Shi Feng's army arrived, the outcome of the battle would depend entirely on quality and quantity. With the small number of players in Stone Forest Town, Shi Feng wouldn't even be able to fill the gaps between his teeth. Hence, he had to destroy the Magic Tower.
"Guild Leader, rest assured!"
Licking his lips, Laughing Drunkard commanded his Tier 3 summoned creature to circle around Ling Yi's summoned creatures and guards, dashing towards the Magic Tower in the town's center. At the end of the day, Blackwater's summoned creatures had the numerical advantage. It was impossible to defend against all of them.
Currently, the Holy Dragon was being held back by the three Evil Earth Dragons. The Ling YI Society did not dare to bring the battle to the town, which was exactly what they wanted. Therefore, the only enemies that the Summoned creatures he controlled would be the members of the Ling YI Society.
With his skills and the attributes of a Tier 3 summoned beast, it was impossible for a Tier 1 player to stop him!
"Stop it!" Shiuse Qiangwei shouted anxiously.
Although Aqua Rose had said so, if a Great Lord ranked monster wanted to flee, Tier 1 players couldn't stop it. Moreover, the Great Lord ranked monster had the awareness of an expert. The majority of their attacks were dodged easily, and even if they hit, the Tier 3 summoned creature wouldn't even scratch it.
The Tier 3 summoned creature's Movement Speed was extremely fast. In just a short moment, it had reached the Magic Tower.
"Ling Yi, you're finished!" Laughing Drunkard's eyes glowed with bloodlust and excitement as he looked at the towering Magic Tower.
Now that Zero Wing no longer had the Magic Tower's protection, this battle was over.
Boom!
With just one attack, a crack appeared on the Magic Tower's sturdy walls. If not for the magic runes' protection, Laughing Drunkard would've achieved his goal.
"It's quite sturdy. I want to see how many hits it can take." Ignoring the surrounding players' attacks, Laughing Drunkard began to attack the Magic Tower with everything he had.
As he attacked again and again, more cracks appeared on the walls. The Magic Tower even began to tremble.
…
Meanwhile, in a high-class bar in Saimu Town, a man and a woman were watching the battle in Stone Forest Town through a livestream.
"It seems that it's really over this time," Yuan Tiexin sighed. Sighing, Yuan Tiexin continued, "However, I've really underestimated Zero Wing's foundations. With Blackwater and Pantheon working together, even first-rate Guilds and Tier 2 Guilds would have to tread carefully. Even if Zero Wing loses, it will be an honorable defeat for Zero Wing."
"What a pity. I had thought that Hei Yan would take action against Pantheon's experts. Now, it seems that this siege will end early," Purple Jade said with a slightly disappointed expression.
Stone Forest Town's current situation was clear at a glance. Regardless of whether Hei Yan took action or not, the outcome would not change.
Once the Magic Tower fell, the Ling YI Society would no longer have the strength to resist. If the Magic Tower fell, Ling Yi would suffer even greater losses. As the Guild Leader of the Ling YI Society, he had to stop his losses as soon as possible.
"Alright, let's get ready as well." Yuan Tiexin collected himself. Looking at Purple Jade, he said, "This time, we have to thank Blackwater for letting us understand the Magic Tower's power. As long as the Secret Pavilion obtains the Magic Tower, God's Domain's sphere of influence will be reshuffled in the future."
The Magic Tower's effectiveness far exceeded Yuan Tiexin's expectations.
Not only could it be used as a tool to gather players, but it was also the best defensive structure. As long as the Secret Pavilion obtained the Magic Tower, they could develop even more towns. They would no longer have to worry about not having enough manpower to defend them.
Just as Purple Jade was about to turn off the livestream, she hurriedly called out to Yuan Tiexin, who was about to leave the room, "Huh? Uncle Yuan, something's wrong! Look at the sky above Stone Forest Town!"
Confused, Yuan Tiexin turned to look at the screen. Immediately, he was stunned.
In the livestream, a gigantic, dark-blue magic array had appeared above Stone Forest Town at some point in time, covering the entire town. Moreover, due to the magic array's existence, the surrounding Mana madly surged into Stone Forest Town, forming a rainbow-colored sky. The scene resembled an aurora, but it was even more dazzling.
…
"What's going on?" Laughing Drunkard could not help but stop what he was doing and look at the sky.
Even as a melee player, he shuddered at the density and range of this Mana.
"We finally made it in time." Shifeng could not help but take a deep breath. (To be continued.) 8
