The sudden arrival of a large group of Evil Demons immediately attracted the attention of Stone Forest Town's residents.
"Why are there more monsters?"
"Fortunately, there aren't many of them. We should be able to hold them off."
"Why do these monsters feel even more dangerous than Evil Beasts of the same level?"
…
When Zero Wing's members, who were busy fending off the Evil Beast army, saw another group of monsters charging at them, they promptly turned to look. Although they were nervous, when they saw that only a small number of monsters had arrived, they relaxed slightly. They then focused on killing the Evil Beasts before them.
However, when Shiuse Qiangwei saw the approaching Evil Demons, his expression turned cold. Hurriedly, he commanded, "Miniature Ballistas, prioritize killing the approaching monsters! Don't let them get close! "
Evil Demons had appeared during the previous siege. Although they were few in number, their combat power was frightening. Their intelligence was far superior to that of ordinary monsters.
Yet, so many of them had appeared this time. If they charged into Stone Forest Town, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although the Ling Yi members operating the Miniature Ballistas did not know what was going on, they had to obey Shiuse Qiangwei's orders. Moreover, these Evil Demons were within their firing range.
Immediately, dozens of fiery flares shot out, heading straight for the demons that were charging at them.
Boom … Boom … Boom …
A series of explosions rang out.
"How is this possible?" The Ling Yi members operating the Miniature Ballistas were stupefied by the scene before them.
Although they had fired several dozen Exploding Arrows from afar, the Exploding Arrows were so fast that even elite players would not be able to dodge them. In addition, the Exploding Arrows dealt AOE damage. Yet, these Evil Demons had actually dodged them all …
The Ling Yi members operating the Miniature Ballistas weren't the only ones to see this scene. Many of Stone Forest Town's residents saw this scene as well. They were all so shocked that they were at a loss for words.
"A pointless struggle." Abandoned Wave paid no heed to this situation.
Even a Special Elite ranked Evil Demon's reaction speed was no weaker than an elite player's. Furthermore, these Evil Demons' Basic Attributes were much higher than players of the same level. Dodging the Miniature Ballistas' AOE attacks was child's play for these Evil Demons. The only thing that could threaten these Evil Demons was the Magic Towers' AOE attacks.
Moreover, these Evil Demons possessed relatively high intellect. After learning of Stone Forest Town's offensive capabilities, these Evil Demons had scattered. Even if the Magic Towers attacked these Evil Demons, the damage they received would be very limited.
"So many demons. They've really put in a lot of effort." Shifeng looked at the swarm of demons and was slightly speechless.
Although he didn't have a particularly good understanding of the Evil God's Temple, he did know that Evil Demons weren't easy to produce. Every one of them was a precious treasure to Evil God's players. Now that the Evil God's Temple had sent over 3,000 of them to attack Zero Wing's city, it was clear that the Evil God's Temple was determined.
"Guild Leader, these Evil Demons are extraordinarily strong. If we let them into the town, the consequences will be unimaginable. Should we have Snow gather another 20,000 elite players?" Shiuse Qiangwei anxiously reported as the Evil Demons approached.
"Since that is the case, have everyone retreat into the town. Let these Evil Beasts and Evil Beasts enter," Shifeng commanded.
"Let these monsters in?" Shiuse Qiangwei gaped in shock. She couldn't figure out what Shifeng was thinking. "Guild Leader, if we let these monsters into the town, they'll definitely cause massive damage. Moreover, the Magic Towers will have a hard time launching attacks. We'll be at an even greater disadvantage."
"In any case, we won't be able to defend the town. It doesn't matter if we let these monsters in. At that time, who knows who will ignore them?" Shifeng chuckled. "Alright, just do what you need to do. Leave the rest to me."
If the Adventurer's Association hadn't been stationed in Stone Forest Town, Shi Feng wouldn't have allowed these monsters to take even half a step into the town, even if he had to mobilize the entire Guild's strength. However, the situation was different now.
In God's Domain, monster sieges were different from player sieges. Neutral NPCs would not participate in player sieges. However, monster sieges were different. Neutral NPCs belonged to the human race, and monsters were enemies.
If a neutral power like the Adventurer's Association occupied a large portion of a player town's Land, it wouldn't be free.
If monsters invaded the town, the Adventurer's Association would take action to defend the town.
Previously, Shi Feng had simply not wanted to expose this hidden effect. At the same time, he would have to pay an extremely high price to have the Adventurer's Association take action. The town's Popularity would fall, and Stone Forest Town's Popularity was the foundation for it to become an Advanced Town.
Now that they couldn't stop the monsters, there was no need to force the situation and exhaust the Guild's strength.
Shiuse Qiangwei was confused by Shi Feng's decision. However, since the Shifeng had said so, he had no choice but to organize his Guild members and withdraw from the town. Due to the various buildings inside the town, the Evil Beasts' movements were considerably inconvenient. This made it easier for players to deal with the Evil Beasts. In fact, they could even use the buildings as shields.
However, in the end, the Adventurer's Association only increased players' survivability. It would significantly reduce their killing efficiency.
"Has the Ling YI Society lost its mind? They're retreating after just over 3,000 monsters? "
"What is the Ling YI Society thinking? Aren't they afraid that these monsters will charge into the Guild Residence and destroy the buildings? "
…
For a time, the players and various major powers that had been paying attention to this battle were stunned.
If they allowed the monsters to invade the town, not only would they suffer massive losses, but they would also have to limit the use of war weapons. This was especially true for the Magic Towers' attacks. If the Magic Towers attacked, not to mention the monsters, but even the buildings on the streets would suffer severe damage.
"What a fast reaction! Did they switch to street warfare because they knew they couldn't stop the monsters? Did they think this would change anything? "Abandoned Wave sneered." How foolish! In the entire Starmoon Kingdom, nobody can stop my Evil Demon army! You'll only die faster! "
Following which, the Ling YI Society's members retreated toward Stone Forest Town's center. Their speed in clearing out the Evil Beast army was significantly slower than before.
If it weren't for the three Divine Dragons keeping the three Evil Earth Dragons at bay, the streets of Stone Forest Town would've long since been razed to the ground.
Just as the Evil Demons entered Stone Forest Town's center, one after another, darted into the streets and dashed toward the Ling Yi Society's members who were fending off the Evil Beasts …
"Alright, it's time for you guys to take action!"
Shifeng could not help but smile when he saw the Evil Demon army enter Stone Forest Town's center. He then accepted the Adventurer's Association's request to help defend the town.
System: You have accepted the Adventurer's Association's request to help defend the town. The system will begin calculating the number of monsters inside the town …
System: Currently, there are 94347 monsters inside the town. The highest detected monster is a Level 70 Grand Lord. Please select the number of monsters the Adventurer's Association will dispatch.
System: The Adventurer's Association is currently a 1-star Association. The minimum number of NPCs it can dispatch is 500, and the maximum number of NPCs it can dispatch is 1,000. For every additional NPC adventurer dispatched, Town Popularity will decrease by 20 points. Please select the number of NPCs you can dispatch.
"Twenty points?" Shifeng was slightly surprised when he saw the number.
It wasn't because the number was too high. Rather, it was because the number was much lower than he had expected. In the past, every NPC adventurer had cost 100 Town Popularity.
However, after giving the matter some thought, he found this to be normal. After all, the monsters he had encountered back then were Level 100, Tier 4 and above. It was only natural that the NPC adventurers he had dispatched were much more powerful.
"Send 1,000, then."
