The scout's report stunned Starlink's members, who couldn't help but wonder if they were joking.
Not to mention fourteen people, even if a hundred and forty people walked up to them, they would be killed in a matter of minutes.
If Starlink wanted to fight them and have a chance of breaking out of the encirclement, it should've sent at least a 1,000-man legion to the other side of the road.
"They should be independent players heading to Moon Creek Town. The Hundred Flowers Palace isn't that stupid."
"I think they're players in a hurry."
Starlink's members, who had been brimming with fighting spirit, relaxed. They even shot the scout a look of disdain.
Starlink hadn't announced its blockade of Moon Creek Town to the public, so not many players knew about it. Although some players had discussed it on the official forums, most players rarely logged into the forums when they were out in the fields. Hence, it was normal for these players to make their way to Moon Creek Town without noticing Starlink's blockade.
There were already quite a few groups of players like this.
"No! These players are different. They're all wearing Black Cloaks, so I can't tell who they are. Moreover, their Movement Speed is very high. The man leading them is riding an extraordinary Mount. It's five meters tall, so it should be a Secret-Silver Mount or above. They definitely aren't ordinary players, "the scout hurriedly explained.
Although Mounts had become common among players, Bronze and above Mounts were still extremely rare. Even the various large Guilds' upper echelons struggled to obtain Mysterious-Iron Mounts, not to mention Secret-Silver Mounts.
"Interesting. Everyone, get ready. Let's see what they're up to."
Hearing the scout's words, Three Kills took the situation more seriously.
Just as the scout had thought, a Secret-Silver Mount was definitely not something an ordinary expert player could obtain. Even now, he had only obtained a single Secret-Silver Mount.
Following Three Kills's command, Starlink's members began to make their preparations.
After a short moment, over a dozen figures appeared on the narrow mountain path. These players all wore Black Cloaks, and it was impossible to tell whether they were independent players or Guild players. However, just as the scouts had said, these players' Mounts were extraordinary. Their Movement Speeds were clearly much higher than ordinary Mounts. By Shi Feng's estimation, the weakest of these players' Mounts was Bronze rank.
"Players up ahead, listen up! Starlink has sealed off this path! Dismount immediately and wait 100 yards away! Otherwise, we'll kill you! "Starlink's members warned when they saw the dozen or so players entering the 100-yard range.
However, such a warning did not stop the dozen or so figures. They continued to close the distance between them.
"Did these people not hear Starlink's warning?"
"That's impossible. I can hear it clearly from here. They're even closer than we are. How could they not hear it?"
"Could it be that they want to break through?"
"That's impossible, right? That's Starlink we're talking about! This amount of people won't even be enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. "
The hundreds of independent players waiting by the roadside were confused when they saw the dozen or so players continue to walk.
Starlink's scout suddenly shouted when the dozen or so figures were less than 70 yards away from the checkpoint.
"A 1,000-man team from the Hundred Flowers Palace has been spotted 500 yards away. They're slowly approaching us!"
"Are these people here to test the waters?" Mountain Passenger, a Tier 2 Ranger who had just taken a sip of his wine, glared at the dozen or so players charging towards them. Rising from his seat, he said, "Boss Yellow, it seems the Hundred Flowers Palace has really underestimated us. Can I kill them all by myself?"
"Forget it. I can't believe the Hundred Flowers Palace would think of sending a dozen or so players to break through the encirclement. These players might seem like they're probing us, but in reality, the Palace's breakout team wants to delay us here so that the other side can reach Moon Creek Town," Three Kills said, shaking his head. Smiling faintly, he continued, "Since that's the case, get ready. Take 3,000 players and follow me to Mad Tiger's side. The team here is only bait. Just leave it to Tyrant Dragon."
"Yes!" Mountain Guest Lan immediately understood what was going on.
As a first-rate Guild, there was no way the Hundred Flowers Palace didn't know about them. This was one of the basic capabilities of a first-rate Guild. Once the Palace had learned about them, it had realized that they couldn't get past the checkpoint they were guarding. Hence, it had sent the dozen or so players to their deaths to buy time for the Palace's Dark Cloud Legion.
Unfortunately, the Hundred Flowers Palace had encountered their Guild Leader. Otherwise, they might've succeeded.
"Let's not waste any more time on these suicidal players! All ranged players, attack together and kill them!" Three Kills commanded after glancing at Shifeng's group.
The next moment, the several hundred ranged players on the cliffs on both sides of the mountain began to attack Shifeng's group.
Just as Starlink's ranged players were about to launch their attacks, a silver magic array appeared above them. The magic array had a 500-yard radius, and as pitch-black fog descended, Starlink's players couldn't use their Skills or Spells.
"A Silencing Domain?" Mountain Passenger could not help his surprise when he saw the black fog around him.
Skills and Spells that contained a Silencing Domain were extremely rare in God's Domain. Even a Tier 3 Silencing Domain Scroll was worth as much as a Tier 4 Magic Scroll. Every Tier 3 Silencing Domain Scroll was a precious treasure to a Guild. As for Skills, Spells, or tools, they were even more valuable.
Yet, Shi Feng had used such a trump card just to serve as bait. It was simply extravagant.
"A futile struggle! Do you think you can change anything just because you can't use your Skills and Spells? Everyone, use normal attacks! "Three Kills calmly commanded, unfazed by the Silencing Domain's appearance.
A Silencing Domain was indeed very powerful in a team battle, but Starlink's side still had an overwhelming advantage in numbers. A single normal attack might not pose much of a threat, but it was a different story if several hundred players attacked at the same time.
Starlink's team calmed down and promptly launched normal attacks at Shifeng's group. Moreover, attacks from an elevated position weren't as easy to dodge as normal attacks.
In the next moment, several hundred arrows rained down on Xiang Shifeng's group.
However, a second later, Starlink's members were stupefied.
Because these 14 people were actually able to pass through the rain of hundreds of arrows. Each and every one of them seemed to be taking a stroll in the park, as if these arrows didn't exist at all …
"How is this possible?"
Whether it was Starlink's members, the Hundred Flowers Palace's Assassins, or the nearby independent players, all gaped in shock. They couldn't believe their eyes.
Several hundred arrows had been fired at the same time!
Even Guild experts would likely have to use their weapons to defend themselves. In fact, ordinary experts wouldn't even be able to block the arrows with their weapons, yet Shifeng's group had managed to do so. Moreover, they had done so with such ease. It was obvious that they had plenty of energy to spare.
However, Seven Light and the others didn't think much of this situation.
Compared to the Extraordinary Tower's attacks, these arrows were child's play. Not only were they much slower, but their attack trajectories also remained the same. Even if they were within 50 yards of the Extraordinary Tower's first floor, not to mention the fact that they were close to 100 yards away from the tower's first floor, they could still easily pass through this rain of arrows.
Before anyone could snap out of their daze, Seven Light, Remnant Cloud, Stubborn Bone, Graceful Moon, and Silent Blade reached Starlink's MTs, who stood in their way.
Level 58 to 60, Tier 2 Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights stood in the lead. When these Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights raised their massive shields, they formed an impenetrable wall of steel.
However, when Seven Light, Silent Blade, Remnant Cloud, and the others arrived, they simply rammed straight into the Shield Wall before them. They didn't stop to search for openings or weak MTs.
Four Sided Slash!
Whirlwind Slash!
Barbaric Charge!
Boom … Boom … Boom …
As if the steel wall had been bombarded by a cannon, it shattered instantly. Dozens of Starlink's Shield Warriors and Guardian Knights flew through the air before crashing into the crowd of players.
