While the spectating crowd was stunned by the instant deaths of ten Refinement Realm experts, Seven Light and his companions took action.
Over a dozen figures dashed into the charging Starlink members and launched an assault.
Taking the lead, Seven Light executed Wind Blade and arrived before three MTs and four melee players. He then swung his greatsword at their thick shields.
Tier 2 Skill, Four-Sided Slash!
Although Starlink's players had blocked all four attacks, the impact of the Four-Sided Slash forced them to stumble back several steps, revealing openings in their defenses.
Seven Light then brandished his two swords once more.
Attack Combination!
Two sword lights stabbed at one of the retreating Tier 2 MTs. One of the swords knocked back the MT's shield, while the other pierced the MT's armor, rapidly depleting his HP. Even as the healers at the rear reacted, Seven Light followed up with another attack and executed the Tier 2 Skill, Diffraction Slash with his other longsword.
Suddenly, the sword lights split into six, devouring the Tier 2 MT's remaining HP.
Everything seemed slow, but from a distance, Seven Light had only charged into Starlink's army, yet he had repelled seven players in the blink of an eye. One of the MTs had even died …
Seven Light wasn't the only one to suffer such a fate. Stubborn Bone and the others, who had charged into Starlink's army, suffered the same fate.
Of the 40 Starlink experts he had sent, more than a quarter had died. The two sides' combat power was on completely different levels.
Starlink's 30-man team was thoroughly suppressed by Seven Light's team. Although Desert Tiger's 50-man team had a slight advantage over Crimson Heart's team, Cleansed Rue and the others had arrived to reinforce them. The situation wasn't looking good.
"Vice Guild Leader, there are too many of them. If this continues, we'll be annihilated," a Tier 2 Guardian Knight from Starlink anxiously warned Desert Tiger.
If it were only Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue's group, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but the Swordsman's team was constantly killing their members. It was only a matter of time before Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue's group were annihilated. If they allowed these players to join forces with Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue's group, they'd be the ones to suffer.
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat! " Desert Tiger's expression darkened, but he understood the consequences of continuing the battle. He glared at the distant Shifeng and snarled, "I'll let you live for a little while longer!"
Following which, Desert Tiger turned and left without hesitation. Meanwhile, Starlink's members scattered as well.
Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue didn't give chase after Starlink's retreat.
Starlink's army had already surrounded Moon Creek Town. Starlink's team had no choice but to attack Zero Wing's team. Moreover, their top priority was protecting Moon Creek Town, not fighting Starlink's army...
"Thank you for your help, Commander Ye Feng. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that Desert Tiger would've annihilated us," Crimson Heart expressed her gratitude as she approached Shi Feng.
Crimson Heart's Starlink's had Crimson Heart Crimson Forest Realm..
Crimson Heart Crimson Heart's Dark Cloud Legion had dispatched 1,000 players to Moon Creek Town. Now, only a little over 100 remained. In contrast, Ling Yi hadn't lost a single member.
Moreover, if Shifeng's team hadn't arrived in time, Crimson Heart's Dark Cloud Legion would've been annihilated in just one or two minutes.
The difference between the two sides was obvious at a glance.
Crimson Heart, more or less, understood why Cleansed Rue had supported the Ling YI Society.
"You're too kind, Vice Guild Leader Crimson." Shifeng was a little surprised by Crimson Heart's straightforward gratitude. The Vice Guild Leader's actions had undoubtedly acknowledged Ling Yi's capabilities. At the very least, they hadn't wasted their trip. "It's still too dangerous here. Let's hurry to Moon Creek Town."
Crimson Heart nodded. She understood that Starlink's players could ambush them at any time. She then reorganized her team and made their way to Moon Creek Town.
On the way to Moon Creek Town, Crimson Heart's team didn't encounter Starlink's players, allowing them to enter the town safely.
As soon as Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue entered Moon Creek Town, they busied themselves with arranging the town's defenses and distributing Blood Source Potions to the town's experts and elite players. Crimson Heart had a total of 4,000 Blood Source Potions. With these potions, Moon Creek Town could hold out for three hours against an army of 300,000 elite players.
Three hours was more than enough time for the Hundred Flowers Palace's reinforcements to arrive. If Starlink wanted to capture Moon Creek Town, it would have to pay a bloody price. Starlink definitely wasn't willing to pay such a price. After all, Starlink's true targets were Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor. Wasting so many of its elite players on the Hundred Flowers Palace wasn't worth it. On the contrary, doing so would give Unyielding Soul and Crimson Emperor plenty of opportunities.
Time passed quickly. Due to Crimson Heart's team's arrival, Moon Creek Town's gloomy and despairing atmosphere vanished, replaced by a relaxed atmosphere. Players even began to casually discuss Starlink's war against Moon Creek Town, as if this war had nothing to do with them.
"Big Sis Crimson, I just received a message from an offline server stating that the Guild Leader has gathered an army of over 200,000 elite players. They're on their way to Moon Creek Town. They'll arrive in less than three hours," Cleansed Rue reported excitedly as she approached Crimson Heart, who stood on the town's walls.
"They'll arrive in three hours?" Crimson Heart rejoiced when she heard this news. It was as if she had heard the sound of nature.
Three hours was no longer a problem for the current Moon Creek Town. In other words, they had successfully defended Moon Creek Town. The next step was to stabilize the situation of the Hundred Flowers Palace in the Dark Night Empire. After all, the loss of East Valley Town had a huge impact on the Hundred Flowers Palace.
After witnessing Ling Yi's performance, Crimson Heart decided that partnering with Ling Yi would undoubtedly be a good choice. Only, the terms of the partnership still needed to be discussed.
While Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue were chatting, Moon Creek Town's observation alarm suddenly went off, the sound echoing throughout the entire town. Crimson Heart and Cleansed Rue couldn't help but turn to look at the distant plains and valley.
When the observation alarm went off, it meant that the scouts on the town's walls had discovered important enemy information. The alarm had been set up to alert the town's Guild members.
In the next moment, a large group of players appeared on the vast plains. Their numbers were so large that it was as if night had descended. Just looking at these players made one's scalp tingle.
Strangely, however, these players didn't advance. Instead, they stopped outside the Defense Turrets' firing range as if they were waiting for something.
"They're not going to attack?" Cleansed Rue asked curiously when she saw Starlink Town's army stop advancing. "Are they hesitating to capture Moon Creek Town?"
Normally, when an army captured a town, it would charge all the way to the end to prevent the defending side from completing its defense. Otherwise, the army would have to pay a much higher price to attack. Yet, Starlink had stopped advancing. Their actions were very strange.
"They're not going to attack?" Crimson Heart had a bad feeling when she saw Starlink's motionless army. "That's not right. Rue, why do you think they'll stop advancing when they have a high chance of capturing a town?"
"To raise morale? Or perhaps … they have absolute confidence in capturing the town? "Cleansed Rue could not help but wonder. When she thought up to this point, Cleansed Rue realized something.
