"Are you kidding me?!"
"He actually disappeared?!"
"He's not a ghost, right?!"
Crimson Castle's members' eyes nearly fell out of their sockets when they saw Crimson Fox's lifeless body.
Too fast!
The Swordsman was so fast that before they could even react, Shi Feng had suddenly appeared before Crimson Fox before vanishing like a ghost. Shortly after, Crimson Fox died.
They hadn't even had a chance to counterattack before it was over.
After the Shifeng's departure, Crimson Castle's members fell silent for a long time before snapping out of their daze. Their faces paled as they looked at the Shifeng's reappearance on the hillside, indescribable shock filling their hearts.
When they looked at the Shifeng, their eyes were filled with nothing but fear.
They were over 1,000 yards away from the hillside, and they had been worried about getting caught in the Intermediate Mana Pulse Cannons' shockwaves. Originally, they had thought that their plan was foolproof. However, Shi Feng had told them that killing them would be child's play.
Thinking up to this point, a chill ran down their spines.
An expert like their Guild Leader could come and go as he pleased from over a thousand yards away. Killing them would be as easy as waving a hand.
What was an expert?
Today, they finally understood that numbers could no longer make up for the difference in strength between them and Shi Feng.
"Vice Guild Leader, should we continue?" Crimson Castle's experts turned to Lonely Castle, who stood in a daze.
Now that Crimson Fox, their commander, was dead, everyone was in chaos. Not to mention, with Ling Yi's magic barrier and continuous Exploding Arrows, even if another 20,000-man army arrived, they would only be sending themselves to their deaths.
"We're … retreating," Lonely Castle said, shaking his head as he glanced at the Shifeng on the hilltop.
After witnessing the Ling YI Society's overwhelming advantage and the instant death of their Guild Leader, Crimson Fox, they no longer had the confidence to continue the battle.
When Crimson Castle's members heard Lonely Castle's command, they breathed a sigh of relief and began to flee for their lives. As for Crimson Castle's army, which was on its way to Crimson Castle's headquarters, they fled, not daring to return to Green Rain Town.
The Crimson Castle members in Green Rain Town also began to flee the town, afraid that the Intermediate Mana Pulse Cannons would blast them to smithereens if they were too slow.
This news spread like a virus and quickly spread throughout the entire Black Dragon Empire.
Although many Guilds fought in the Black Dragon Empire every day, large-scale battles like sieges were extremely rare. After all, no Guild wanted to let other Guilds take advantage of them. Unless absolutely necessary, they would not start an all-out war.
Currently, the Ling YI Society and Crimson Castle were in an all-out war. Moreover, Crimson Castle's army of tens of thousands of elite players had actually been defeated by the Ling YI Society's 1,000-man legion. No matter how one looked at this situation, it was inconceivable. Hence, news of this incident spread even faster.
"Did you hear? Crimson Castle lost."
"What's the situation? Crimson Castle actually lost? Didn't they say that only 1,000 people from the Ling YI Society would go? "
"That's not possible, right? After all, Crimson Castle has an army of several tens of thousands of elite players, yet it's not a match for Ling YI Society's 1,000-man legion? Are Crimson Castle's members idiots? "
"You might not know, but I saw it with my own eyes. I don't know what kind of war weapon the Ling YI Society used, but it shattered the town's defensive magic array with a single attack and killed several thousand players instantly. The upper echelons of several second-rate Guilds immediately fled in fear. Although Crimson Castle tried to attack the town, it only managed to kill a handful of Ling YI Society's members before the war weapon wiped out one-third of its army."
"Afterward, the Ling YI Society even brought out a large number of Miniature Ballistas. Their attacks were a feast for the eyes. Even an army of hundreds of thousands of elite players would be no match for them, much less tens of thousands."
The Black Dragon Empire's official forums were abuzz with discussion. Some people had even uploaded videos of Ling Yi's attack on Green Rain Town.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw Green Rain Town in ruins. They immediately understood why Crimson Castle had lost.
What kind of joke was this?!
With a dozen or so Miniature Ballistas, Green Rain Town would've been reduced to rubble. There was no way Crimson Castle could win the war. In fact, it couldn't even be considered a battle. It was more like a one-sided game. Furthermore, the Ling YI Society had brought out so many Miniature Ballistas.
Meanwhile, the video of Shifeng killing Crimson Fox instantly showed the Black Dragon Empire's players what it meant to be a Sword King.
Taking the head of a general while surrounded by tens of thousands of players paled in comparison.
"So, this is the Ling YI Society?" Everyone's eyes glowed as they watched the Ling YI Society's overwhelming power.
Although the Ling YI Society's performance in the ranking competition had been stunning, at the end of the day, it had only displayed the standard of a Guild's expert. In the opinion of the Black Dragon Empire's players, the Ling YI Society was inferior to the Black Dragon Empire's.
Now, however, it would seem that the Ling YI Society's foundation far surpassed its ranking in the ranking competition.
With such war weapons, who would dare provoke the Ling YI Society?
Because of this, more players in the Black Dragon Empire wished to join the Ling YI Society.
Now that everyone could see the Ling YI Society's rise in the Black Dragon Empire, if they did not join now, it would be even more difficult to do so in the future.
Elsewhere, the Black Dragon Empire's various large Guilds held emergency meetings with their upper echelons one after another.
The purpose of these meetings was simple; they did not want to provoke the Ling YI Society. At the same time, they also focused on exploring ancient ruins and finding ways to obtain more war weapons.
What Shifeng did not know was that, thanks to the Ling YI Society's victory, the Black Dragon Empire's various large Guilds had come to realize one thing: in future Guild wars and siege wars, numbers were no longer the most important factor. Defensive magic arrays and war weapons were what mattered the most. With these items, even a 1,000-man team could easily capture a Guild Town.
Meanwhile, in Green Rain Town, every player in the town had evacuated. Only a few NPCs remained.
"Guild Leader, are we going to take over Green Rain Town now?" Gentle Snow was indescribably excited when she saw the town's lack of resistance.
The battle had only lasted a little over ten minutes, yet they had managed to capture a Guild Town. Moreover, Green Rain Town was a resource town. With this town, the Ling YI Society would have a much easier time collecting rare herbs and ores.
"No, we're going to destroy it," Shifeng said, shaking his head.
"Guild Leader, this is a ready-made Guild Town … If we get our hands on it, we'll save a lot of construction costs," Shiuse Qiangwei hurriedly advised when he heard Shifeng's words.
What a joke!
Transforming a Guild Town into a Guild Town like Green Rain Town would cost at least tens of thousands of Gold. Moreover, Green Rain Town was a resource town. Many Guilds dreamed of acquiring it. If it weren't for Nine Dragons Emperor's support, the other first-rate Guilds would've long since taken action.
Yet, Shi Feng had actually abandoned the town. This was insane!
