Everyone was confused by the sudden order to retreat.
There were only eight one-horned humanoid monsters before him. Although they were all Level 50 or above, the strongest among them was only at the standard of a Lord. Moreover, their HPs were generally lower than monsters of the same level. They were not invincible existences.
However, everyone still retreated as soon as they received the order.
"Trying to run? Do you think you can get away? " A cloaked man wrapped in bandages suddenly walked out of the stone house. Sneering, he said, "Leave all of you behind and become my sacrifices!"
Although the black-robed man's voice was not loud, everyone heard him loud and clear. Chills ran down their spines.
The most surprised of all was the team's Rangers. They had their Eagle Eyes active at all times, allowing them to easily detect players and monsters within a certain range. Not only did they fail to detect these one-horned humanoid monsters, but they also failed to detect a living person right under their noses.
Before anyone could take more than a few steps, the one-horned humanoid monsters revealed sinister smiles as they charged at the retreating members of Ling Yi. They were so fast that they left behind afterimages.
To these Evil Demons, the distance between them was only a matter of a few steps.
"So fast!"
"Do you really think we're afraid of you?"
Seeing these Evil Demons charging at them, three Level 40 Shield Warriors and one Level 41 Guardian Knight stepped forward to meet them.
Angry Roar!
Justice Roar!
Once the AOE Taunt skill was activated, the eight Evil Demons would not be able to attack the other players for a short time.
"Fools!" The black-robed man sneered.
Suddenly, a faint gray mist emerged from the Evil Demons' claws. The Evil Demons then launched a barrage of attacks at the Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights.
The instant the Evil Demons' claws came into contact with the shields, the Evil Demons' claws pierced through the shields as if they did not exist.
With just one attack, the Shield Warriors lost over -13,000 HP, losing a large chunk of their HP. Before the healers at the rear could heal them, the other Evil Demons' claws landed on the Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights.
Over a dozen streaks of gray light blossomed. Four MTs with close to 40,000 HP died instantly …
This caused everyone present to be stunned on the spot.
However, a few of the calmer Elementalists and Rangers also launched their attacks.
Immediately, dozens of Fireballs and Arrows flew forward, enveloping the eight Evil Demons. However, the next second, the Evil Demons acted like agile Assassins. Not only did they dodge the majority of the attacks, but they also blocked the remaining attacks, leaving them unscathed.
What was even more inconceivable was that not only did the distance between the two of them not increase, but it actually decreased.
A Level 54 Lord ranked Evil Demon jumped into the middle of the crowd, the gray mist around its claws transforming into sharp blades. The Evil Demon then swung the blades at the surrounding healers.
Suddenly, a gray arc appeared in the middle of the crowd, covering a radius of 15 yards.
With just a single attack, the low HP and Defense of the cloth armor classes were instantly killed. Some of the Elementalists with quick reactions had used Blink to dodge the attack. As for the other cloth armor classes, none of them were spared. On the spot, nearly half of the 50-man team had died. The disparity in strength caused everyone to shudder involuntarily.
"Run! Everyone, split up and run! "The Ranger, who was the team leader, quickly shouted in the team chat.
Hearing the Ranger's command, the team could only grit their teeth and scatter. If they did so, it would be impossible for the Evil Demons to catch up to them.
However, the eight Evil Demons were frighteningly fast. Despite splitting up and fleeing, the majority of the team members were still killed. Only a few Assassins and players with Instantaneous Movement Scrolls managed to survive.
"Brother Wave, are we just going to let them go?" At this time, Flame Blood, who wore a Black Cloak and wielded a blackwood staff, walked out of the forest. He could not help but ask curiously as he glanced at the fleeing Ling Yi members. "If we let them go, the Ling YI Society will definitely be on high alert. Capturing Stone Forest Town will also become more troublesome."
"That's what I want," Abandoned Wave said, sneering. Sneering, he continued, "I want the Ling YI Society to concentrate most of its combat power on Stone Forest Town. That way, destroying Stone Forest Town will be more valuable. Right, how are things on your side?"
"The Evil Beast army has finished gathering. It shouldn't be far from here," Flame Blood said, chuckling. "However, is it really necessary to send all of them here in one go? After all, we're talking about an army of 500,000 Evil Beasts, not including the Evil Demon army you personally command. It's more than enough to destroy two or three Stone Forest Towns simultaneously. "
Although the Evil Beast army had also been massive the last time they attacked Stone Forest Town, it was different this time. Whether it was in terms of numbers or individual strength, the Evil Beasts were much stronger. Even the weakest Evil Beast was a Level 60 Elite. Among them, there were close to 40,000 Level 60 Chieftains, over 3,000 Lords, over 200 Great Lords, and over 40 Grand Lords.
However, this was still not the most important aspect.
To ensure that the Ling YI Society was destroyed and that the previous incident would not happen again, they had gathered all of their resources to produce five Level 70 Mythic ranked Evil Beasts.
Before such a force, Stone Forest Town's defenses were a joke.
Not to mention, there was also the Evil Demon army that Abandoned Wave had been nurturing. Although there were only a little over 6,000 Mythic ranked Evil Beasts, the threat they posed to players was not much weaker than the Evil Beast army.
"Good. We'll take our time and let Ling Yi and the others experience despair," Abandoned Wave said, laughing.
He had endured for far too long for this moment.
It was all because of the Ling YI Society that his plan to take control of the Starmoon Kingdom had failed. However, this time, he would not give the Ling YI Society any chance. As long as he destroyed Stone Forest Town and proved his strength to the Blackwater Consortium, he would definitely regain his former position in the Blackwater Consortium.
Meanwhile, the sudden appearance of the Evil Beast army had attracted the attention of the various major powers in the Starmoon Kingdom.
After all, the Evil Beast army's numbers and strength were extraordinary. Any Guild town could easily crush the Evil Beast army. If they encountered the Evil Beast army, it would be a tragedy.
This was especially true for Star-Moon City's Guilds. Although they had already known that many Evil Beasts were active in the city and had suffered significant losses, they had never imagined that it would be to this extent.
"What? You're saying that the monster army is advancing towards Stone Forest Town? "
"This is going to be interesting. Even the Ling YI Society is no match for so many monsters."
"Hahaha! Even the heavens are on our side! If the Ling YI Society doesn't have Stone Forest Town, so what if they have a Guild Mount? "
…
After the various major powers sent people to investigate the monster army's movements, they all rejoiced in Stone Forest Town's misfortune.
The sense of danger they had felt from the Ling YI Society vanished.
Meanwhile, the players in Stone Forest Town were in an uproar.
"Why are these monsters here? Damn it! What should we do now? Our adventurer team spent so much Coins to buy a house. Are we going to lose it, just like that? "
"Fortunately, Stone Forest Town is selling its houses tomorrow. Otherwise, we would've suffered a huge loss."
"What a pity. Such a good town is going to be lost just like that."
"With so many monsters, I wonder if the Ling YI Society will be able to defend itself."
"I don't think that's possible. You haven't seen that scene before. Monsters were everywhere, and wherever they passed, not a single player survived. I have an Assassin friend who wanted to record a video of the battle. In the end, he was killed by the Evil Demons. Not only are those monsters ridiculously strong, but any player killed by the Evil Demons can't log back into God's Domain for a short time. That friend of mine was killed by one of those Evil Demons. Even now, he's regretting his decision."
…
His heart is filled with regret. "The players in Stone Forest Town discussed the situation. Many of them had already made plans to flee. Some wanted to stay, while others wanted to watch the show. After all, it was not easy to witness a monster siege.
Meanwhile, in Ling Yi's Residence in White River City, the atmosphere inside the Residence was considerably tense. A group of Ling Yi's upper echelons had gathered in Ling Yi's meeting room, discussing how to deal with the situation.
After all, there were simply too many monsters this time. Even if the Ling YI Society had Stone Forest Town to rely on, it would still be very difficult for them to hold off the monsters. It wasn't that they were afraid of death. Rather, if they were killed by those Evil Demons, they wouldn't be able to log back into God's Domain for a short time.
As the monster army drew closer to Stone Forest Town, if they did not make preparations, they would truly be doomed.
Yet, their Guild Leader had ordered them to wait here. One could just imagine how anxious they were.
