The sudden addition of the Golden Giants and Rock Guardians turned the battlefield around. When Veiled Spirit gave the order to retreat, Shadow Claw's and Dark Hunters' members scattered and fled for their lives.
However, Shifeng had no intention of letting the two adventurer teams off the hook. Instead, he ordered his team to pursue the two adventurer teams. Although they couldn't kill every one of the adventurer teams, they could kill as many as they could.
If not for the fact that Shadow Claw's adventurer team consisted of Tier 2 experts, they would've suffered a heavy blow.
Fortunately, the two adventurer teams hadn't had enough trump cards. If the Dark Hunters had 200 Tier 2 players and consumed the Basic Dragonoid Potion, they would've had a much harder time dealing with the two adventurer teams.
Only Gentle Snow, Fire Dance, Cola, Violet Cloud, Zhao Yueru, and Aqua Rose had a certain chance of victory. The others would have a hard time maintaining a 50-50 chance of victory. Most of them only had a 20-30% chance of victory.
In addition, Shadow Claw's Magic Soldiers couldn't be underestimated.
Without sufficient numbers, Magic Soldiers wouldn't have much combat power.
Ten Magic Soldiers wouldn't be able to exhibit their true power. Only when they had over a hundred Magic Soldiers would they be able to activate the magic arrays on their armor. At that time, even 20 Tier 4 Mythic monsters would be annihilated by these Magic Soldiers.
In the past, when over a hundred Magic Soldiers had appeared on a battlefield of Tier 2 players, they had been a force to be reckoned with. Because of these Magic Soldiers, a first-rate Guild had been able to contend with a superpower and defend a town.
In a virtual reality game like God's Domain, it was practically impossible to overwhelm an opponent in a single battle. After all, this wasn't the real world, where players could resurrect after death. Hence, players had to engage in a prolonged war of attrition to whittle away at their opponent's strength until they couldn't hold on any longer.
Now that the two adventurer teams had scattered and fled, even if Shi Feng couldn't annihilate them, he could at least weaken them as much as possible. That way, the two adventurer teams would need more time to recover.
However, now that the Dark Boundary had been removed, the Wetland Forest's terrain had become much more complex. As long as the two adventurer teams' members fled into the forest and were experts, they quickly vanished from sight. Only Rangers and Assassins could give chase. The other classes could only watch helplessly.
In less than a minute, the two adventurer teams' members had vanished from the forest.
"Commander, the leaders of the other adventurer teams said that they'll be here soon. They want to know how the battle is going," the female Cleric said as she followed behind God. "Should we reply to them?"
"What's the situation?" Veiled God's crescent brows were tightly knitted together, and her eyes were filled with killing intent. "Tell them, if they want to fight, then go ahead. We, Shadow Claw, aren't playing anymore!"
The female Cleric was speechless. However, she more or less understood Veiled Spirit's feelings. Shadow Claw had suffered heavy losses in this battle. This was the first time Shadow Claw had suffered such a defeat since its establishment. Moreover, the Starline Corporation had provided them with severely inaccurate information. It would be strange if Veiled Spirit wasn't furious.
Following which, the female Cleric relayed Shi Feng's message to the other adventurer teams that had arrived.
"Commander, Shadow Claw's commander seems to be a little angry. He said that he's not playing anymore and wants us to play by ourselves. Meanwhile, the Dark Hunters have already left. Should we continue?"
"This is interesting. It seems that Shadow Claw and the Dark Hunters have suffered quite a bit at the hands of the Ling YI Society. Since that's the case, let's head back."
…
When the other adventurer teams received Veiled God's message, they promptly gave up on their plans to encircle the Ling YI Society.
Shadow Claw and the Dark Hunters were Dark Soul's top-ranked adventurer teams. Now that both adventurer teams had suffered such heavy losses, they wouldn't be able to gain anything by joining the fray. Naturally, there was no need for them to encircle the Ling Yi Society.
Meanwhile, in front of the Eclipse Throne's forest …
"Guild Leader, they fled too quickly! They're practically monkeys! They disappeared as soon as they entered the forest!" Hei Zi stomped her feet in anger when she saw the two adventurer teams vanish. "Damn it! I only killed 20 of them, yet they're already gone!"
Unyielding Soul and the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion's members could not help but send her disdainful gazes when they heard her words.
What did she mean by 'only killed 20 of them'? They were all experts, not ordinary players. Killing three or five of them on a battlefield was already impressive. Defeating experts was easy, but killing them was difficult. When expert players fled for their lives, most of the time, they couldn't even stop them. Not to mention, some players would always leave behind some lifesaving items.
If the two adventurer teams' members heard Hei Zi's words, they'd definitely vomit blood.
"Alright, the battle is over. Everyone, hurry up and clean up the battlefield. It's best if we don't stay here for long," Shifeng said.
He knew a little about the Dark Hunters and Shadow Claw. These two adventurer teams were both members of the Dark Alliance, Dark Soul.
The adventurer teams that could join the Dark Alliance were all top adventurer teams among the dark forces. At its peak, Dark Soul had had nearly 40 adventurer teams. Back then, Dark Soul had been stronger than any of the Six Great Dark Guilds.
Although Dark Soul hadn't reached its peak yet, it had at least a dozen or so adventurer teams. Since two of Dark Soul's adventurer teams had appeared, there was no doubt that other adventurer teams would show up as well. Currently, Dark Soul's adventurer teams were on the verge of collapse. They had less than 140 players alive. If they continued fighting, they'd suffer even greater losses.
Unyielding Heart and Feng Qianyu nodded in agreement. They then organized their subordinates to clean up the battlefield and leave.
As soon as Shifeng's group left, several dozen players emerged from the forest. However, these players weren't members of any of the dark adventurer teams. Instead, they were independent players grinding for Energy Essences.
"Ling Yi is too amazing! This is my first time seeing such a powerful battle! "
"Indeed, she's too strong. Despite only having 200 players, she repelled over 2,000 players. Moreover, those players were experts. She's simply insane."
"You really can't believe the rumors. The Ling YI Society is much stronger than the rumors make it out to be. Previously, people had advised me to join a first-rate Guild. Now, it seems I'd be better off joining the Ling YI Society."
"Hahaha! I've already recorded the battle! I'll have plenty to brag about when I get back!"
These independent players' eyes glowed as they watched Shifeng's group leave.
Although they didn't know about the Dark Hunters and Shadow Claw adventurer teams, their combat standards weren't low. They could tell that the two adventurer teams' members were all experts. When they saw the two adventurer teams turn into monsters, they couldn't help but shudder.
Even so, over 2,000 players had still lost to the Ling YI Society. When they saw several of the Ling YI Society's experts fending off the powerful, black-armored giants, their blood boiled with excitement. This was something they had always wanted to achieve.
As for this news, they had no intention of keeping it a secret. They immediately posted the recorded battle on the official forums, allowing every player in the Eclipse Gate to see it.
"What's going on? Did two superpowers start a war near the Eclipse Throne? "
"No, that's not right. Isn't that the Ling YI Society? Could another superpower be trying to annihilate Ling Yi? "
"The Ling YI Society's Gentle Snow is so strong! She must've killed over a hundred players with a single attack!"
