When the members of the Mad Beast Legion used their Return Scrolls and left the small hill outside of Silverwing Town, an uproar erupted in the town.
"What?! The Mad Beast Legion actually fled?! "
Silverwing Town's players stared at Cloudy Mountain and the others in disbelief.
They had witnessed the Mad Beast Legion's strength with their own eyes. Every member of the legion was like a monster, moving freely among tens of thousands of players. The Mad Beast Legion had killed more than 10,000 of Ling Yi's members, including many expert players.
Yet, such a powerful Mad Beast Legion had actually retreated in the face of Ling Yi …
Of course, they could understand why the Mad Beast Legion had done so. After all, the strength Fire Dance had displayed was simply too frightening. She had slaughtered the Mad Beast Legion's experts as if they were dogs.
However, although Fire Dance was powerful, she was only one person. Moreover, her Berserk Skill had a time limit. In reality, she could've fought Ling Yi once her Berserk Skill ended. The Mad Beast Legion's overall strength was very high, and it had a large number of Starlink's experts supporting it. They could've easily worn down a single player, yet the Mad Beast Legion had chosen to retreat.
The Mad Beast Legion had boasted that they would block Silverwing Town's entrance and kill as many players as they could. Now, however, the Mad Beast Legion had fled.
Only the various major powers' experts in Silverwing Town understood why the Mad Beast Legion had chosen to retreat. Moreover, it had been so decisive.
None of them knew just how frightening it was to kill an expert like Ink Rain in one hit. In front of such an expert, numbers were meaningless. They were nothing more than low-level monsters that could be easily killed. Moreover, an expert like Ink Rain could move freely among tens of thousands of players. Her destructive power on the battlefield rivaled that of a strategic missile.
Even if Fire Dance's Berserk Skill had a limited duration, the Mad Beast Legion would suffer a frightening number of casualties if they waited until her Berserk Skill ended. Not to mention, Fire Dance could return to Silverwing Town before her Berserk Skill ended. In that case, the Mad Beast Legion would be helpless against Fire Dance.
This was also why the various major powers were helpless against peak experts.
The wisest course of action was to retreat and avoid further casualties.
At this stage of the game, players would suffer massive losses if they died. Even ordinary expert players would need several days to recover, not to mention peak experts.
"I never thought that Ling Yi would have such a trump card. With this, Starlink will have a much harder time sealing off Silverwing Town."
"That's true. Unless Starlink has the means to deal with Fire Dance, blocking the entrance will only be asking for trouble."
For a time, the various major powers were shocked by Ling Yi's display of strength. Originally, they had thought that they could take advantage of this opportunity to take a slice of the pie.
Aside from an invincible monster like Fire Dance, even Ling Yi's main force members, such as Ke Le and the others, were not people they could afford to provoke. Moreover, the various major powers had also realized the importance of expert players.
As long as they were strong enough, they would be able to defend a town on their own. This was no longer the era where they used to rely on numbers.
Due to this incident, the various major powers began to increase their efforts to nurture their experts. Meanwhile, the majority of independent players also gained a new understanding of expert players, no longer limited to the past.
In the past, expert players were no more than capable of dominating a small battlefield. They could also play an important role in raiding Dungeons and raiding Bosses, providing better weapons, equipment, and resources for their Guilds. Now, however, expert players could influence the prosperity of an entire town.
Yan Tianxing and the others, who stood behind Fire Dance, were similarly excited.
Not only had this battle restored Ling Yi's team's confidence, but it had also broken Starlink's blockade of Ling Yi's neutral maps. They no longer had to worry about other powers surpassing them.
"The strength Fire Dance displayed during the Auction House's competition was only a portion of her true strength?" Yi Luofei looked at the Mad Beast Legion members lying on the ground. Shock filled her eyes as she looked at Fire Dance. "Is this her true strength?"
She had thought that the FFF team would be of great help to Ling Yi once they joined the team. After all, aside from Guild Leader Shifeng, Ling Yi didn't have any outstanding experts. Fire Dance and the others' combat standards weren't particularly high. They relied entirely on their equipment's advantage. However, this advantage would diminish as players reached higher levels.
In contrast, she and Yan Tianxing were different. They were absolute peak experts, existences that couldn't be ignored in any superpower. They would be of much more help to Ling Yi in the future than Fire Dance and the others.
However, she had been wrong. Ridiculously wrong.
For some reason, Yi Luofei felt that she shouldn't make Fire Dance an enemy. Moreover, Fire Dance had killed a monster like Ink Rain so easily. She was most likely stronger than Shifeng.
"Ling Yi really is unfathomable," Yan Tianxing said, smiling bitterly. "However, I won't have to listen to Lotus's ridicule in the future."
While he had been fighting the Mad Beast Legion, Lotus had tried multiple times to persuade him to leave Zero Wing, a Guild with no future. Now that Zero Wing had displayed such strength, even Lotus couldn't say anything.
Once the Mad Beast Legion had retreated, news of its defeat quickly reached the various major powers, especially the various superpowers.
Starlink had taken Ling Yi very seriously this time. Even Unyielding Soul's side in the Dark Night Empire had suffered a significant setback, yet Ling Yi had still managed to hold her ground. Starlink's strength was indeed surprising.
However, the various superpowers knew that this was Ling Yi's limit.
Although Starlink had protected Silverwing Town and Ling Yi's reputation and boosted the Guild's morale, Ling Yi couldn't change the fact that she couldn't develop in neutral maps.
God's Domain's future was already clear. Whoever obtained a neutral map would rule the world. If Ling Yi couldn't develop in neutral maps as she wished, she wouldn't be able to become a superpower in the future. Moreover, Starlink had spent a fortune to suppress Ling Yi and whittle away at Ling Yi's funds and resources. With Ling Yi's foundations, Starlink wouldn't last long.
The various powers that had developed in neutral maps understood this. Hence, although they respected Ling Yi, they weren't afraid of her. Instead, they frantically competed for the resources that Ling Yi had previously occupied.
Of course, the various powers understood this, but the majority of independent players didn't care. Instead, their enthusiasm to join Ling Yi skyrocketed. This was especially true when news of Ling Yi's success reached the Starmoon Kingdom. Youlan, who managed the Guild, didn't know whether she should laugh or cry at this situation.
Naturally, the increase in players joining Ling Yi was a good thing, but it also increased the Guild's expenditure.
Normally, Ling Yi wouldn't have cared, but Starlink was currently suppressing the Guild. Just maintaining the Guild's current state was incredibly difficult, not to mention attracting more players to Ling Yi.
"Guild Leader, are you really going to let these players join Ling Yi? Our funds are … "Youlan asked Xiang Shifeng, confusion filling her eyes.
"Of course. If the Guild wants to develop, players are indispensable. Moreover, if we stop recruiting, it won't be good for the Guild," Shifeng said, nodding.
"But our funds …" Youlan said worriedly.
"Relax. The funds will arrive soon," Shi Feng said, chuckling. Glancing at the City Hall before him, Shifeng could not help but chuckle. "Let's see who gives in first!"
If he had worried about Starlink's retaliation before killing the Lord of Fire, he no longer had to worry. Now, all he had to do was connect to the Auction House and wait for the money to arrive.
