On a small hill outside of Silverwing Town, several dozen Mad Beast Legion members had set up a camp and were resting. They paid no attention to the heavily fortified Silverwing Town, which was several thousand yards away. Instead, they enjoyed their food and wine.
"The commander is being too cautious this time. He actually ordered us to stand guard here. If it were up to me, why don't we just annihilate Silverwing Town? What can Ling Yi possibly do to us?" A Level 67 Guardian Knight asked as he gazed at the distant Silverwing Town, an eager glint in his eyes. "Didn't you say that Ling Yi's Dark Gods Legion was so powerful? Didn't we annihilate them all?"
Everyone on the western continent knew about the Mad Beast Legion. The legion had destroyed no less than 20 Guild Towns and Cities, some of which were under the control of superpowers.
Yet, their commander, Startled Wind, had ordered them to stand guard outside Silverwing Town and prevent the town's players from leaving. This wasn't in line with their usual style.
"Black Panther, don't be so upset. At least you got to exercise a little against the Dark Gods Legion's members. We only got to kill some Mobs. We didn't even get to see a Field Boss." A Level 67 Berserker wielding a white bone greatsword rolled his eyes at the Guardian Knight named Black Panther.
In order to defend Silverwing Town long-term, the Mad Beast Legion had randomly split into two groups. Those with more Stamina would grind and level up, while those with less Stamina would rest in the camp. This way, even if they defended Silverwing Town, they wouldn't fall behind in levels.
"Alright, the commander has his own plans. Moreover, Silverwing Town isn't like the towns we've destroyed in the past. The town's defenses and NPC soldiers are much stronger. Even if we manage to capture Silverwing Town in a frontal confrontation, I'm afraid that we'll suffer significant losses," a Level 68 Berserker wearing gray leather armor said. At this time, a stooped, Level 68 man in silver-gray leather jackets swept his gaze over everyone before him. "While it's true that our quest this time is to destroy Zero Wing, preserving our strength is equally important. After all, our enemy isn't just Zero Wing, but those bastards from the western continent!"
"Since we can whittle down Ling Yi's forces without taking any damage, we naturally don't need to waste too much effort and trump cards on Ling Yi."
When the Mad Beast Legion's members heard the Berserker's words, respect flashed in their eyes. Their attitudes grew serious, no longer slacking off.
"Vice Commander, I've heard that Hei Yan, Ling Yi, is very strong. He actually defeated Sword Demon of the Four Shadow Demons. May I know who's stronger?" Black Panther, a Guardian Knight named Black Panther, asked.
When the members of the Mad Beast Legion heard this, they could not help but turn to look at the hunchbacked man.
Panther's Panther, Panther. Panther's's Tier, Panther, Panther Panther, Panther's Panther.
However, they weren't too sure about their commander's strength. They had never seen Startled Wind's true strength before. Only their vice commander, who was familiar with their commander, might know. After all, Startled Wind and Cloudy Mountain had been enemies in the past. Both were monster-level experts.
"Fifty-fifty. After all, field battles aren't like official competitions. There are many methods that can't be used," Cloudy Mountain said after giving the matter some thought.
"Vice Commander, you're overestimating Hei Yan. In my opinion, that Hei Yan can't even defeat Ink Rain, much less the commander."
"That's right. Sword Demon is an old man, after all. He's no longer at his peak. Although Ink Rain's combat standards aren't a match for Sword Demon's, she can kill that old man in a field battle."
Everyone felt that their vice commander was exaggerating. Sword Demon and the others might be legends, but the Mad Beast Legion's fame and strength were above the Four Shadow Demons'. Setting aside the commander and vice commander's strength, just the Mad Beast Legion's captains were enough to intimidate an entire region.
Ink Rain was the strongest among captains. She had killed more than ten monster-level experts in a head-on battle. Moreover, the Mad Beast Legion specialized in field battles. If Sword Demon encountered Ink Rain in the fields, he'd most likely suffer.
As the members of the Mad Beast Legion chatted among themselves, a cloud of dust suddenly rose from a short distance away. Immediately, the Mad Beast Legion members, who were observing their surroundings, noticed the dust.
"Vice Commander, some people are heading our way from Silverwing Town!" the Ranger, who used Eagle Eyes, shouted.
"Ling Yi's people can't hold back anymore. We can finally get some exercise," Black Panther said, smiling as he licked his lips.
"You're lucky. I'll join you next time," Brilliant Python, a Berserker wielding a white bone greatsword, said, growing excited.
"How many of them are coming?" Cloudy Mountain asked as he stood up.
"More than 30!" the Ranger said carefully.
"More than 30?" The Mad Beast Legion's members were momentarily stupefied. They even wondered if the Ranger had misread or misstated one or two zeros.
"That's right, more than 30. However, by the looks of it, these people seem to be members of Ling Yi's main force," the Ranger explained.
"Main force? Has Ling Yi lost his mind? Does he think he can annihilate the Mad Beast Legion with just 30 people? "
"Vice Commander, why don't you send Sixth Party? I guarantee that none of them will return alive!"
The Mad Beast Legion's members could not help but laugh at the number of people Ling Yi had dispatched. They all volunteered, afraid that someone else would steal this opportunity from them.
"Ink Rain, Black Panther, your two parties will go teach them a lesson. However, since they are members of Ling Yi's main force, this is a rare opportunity. Notify Three Kills and have them use Group Teleportation Scrolls to surround them. Do not let them escape!" Cloudy Mountain commanded as he watched Fire Dance's group approach.
"Understood!"
Black Panther and the others were stunned when they heard Cloudy Mountain's command. They had never thought that their vice commander would be so cautious. However, they still complied.
The Mad Beast Legion had a total of 20 parties, with each party having six members. Normally, each party could intercept and kill a 100-man expert team with ease. However, Ling Yi's main force had only dispatched a little over 30 players. In reality, one party would be more than enough. Sending two parties was simply overkill.
Following which, Ink Rain and Black Panther led their parties and dashed towards Fire Dance's group. As the distance between the two sides closed, the commotion quickly alerted every player in Silverwing Town.
Everyone was no longer surprised by Ling Yi's decision to remain in Silverwing Town. After factoring in the sudden announcement of the Honorary Guild title, everyone had assumed that Ling Yi would hole up in the Starmoon Kingdom. However, now that Ling Yi had taken the initiative to dispatch his forces, it was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Ling Yi's main force is going against the Mad Beast Legion! This is going to be interesting!"
"I wonder who's going to win?"
"You haven't seen how frightening the Mad Beast Legion is. They only have a little over 100 players, yet they managed to kill over 10,000 of Ling Yi's members. Every one of them is a monster. Although Ling Yi's main force is powerful, it's still not as strong as the Mad Beast Legion. Sending so few people is a little reckless. If it were me, I would've organized a 1,000-man expert team for this operation."
While Silverwing Town's players discussed the situation, Yan Tianxing, who had chased after Fire Dance's group from Silverwing Town, frowned when he saw the Mad Beast Legion dispatch two parties.
"Crap! It's actually Ink Rain and Black Panther's parties! We need to hurry! "Yan Tianxing shouted hurriedly.
He had fought both Ink Rain and Black Panther in the past, and just Black Panther had been enough to tire him out. Black Panther was simply too powerful. Black Panther was more like a ferocious Berserker than a Guardian Knight. He couldn't afford to face the Berserker head-on. Meanwhile, Ink Rain was even more frightening. She had nearly killed him in a single exchange. If not for a special Magic Scroll in his hand that could forcibly preserve his life, he wouldn't have survived Ink Rain's second attack.
Even if Ling Yi had Fire Dance, Yan Tianxing doubted that Ling Yi's main force could last long against Ink Rain.
At the end of the day, Yan Tianxing and the others were still too slow. They could only watch as Ink Rain's group and Fire Dance's group got within 30 yards of each other.
"Ling Yi! Die! "
Black Panther smiled as he leaped into the air, the icy-blue shield in his hand forming a gigantic energy shield around him. Like a mountain, Black Panther pressed down on Fire Dance's group.
Not only was Black Panther's attack range within 30 yards of Black Panther, but it also contained so much Strength that it felt as if space itself had been compressed. Black Panther's attack then descended on Ling Yi's group.
Ling Yi's group paled when they saw Black Panther's attack. Black Panther's attack could most likely annihilate a 100-man expert team instantly.
Seeing the mountain-like energy shield descending on them, Ke Le leaped into the air and raised Titan Guard. She then transformed into a streak of dazzling light as she collided with the energy shield.
