Less than ten seconds had passed since the start of the battle, yet the first wave of melee combat had stupefied the Dark World's players.
The MTs leading the charge were all bona fide Tier 3 players, and many of them were experts the Dark World's players recognized. Even other Tier 3 experts would have a hard time killing these MTs.
Yet, let alone fight for a while, the healers in the rear line wouldn't even have time to heal them before a wave of shockwaves and Spells obliterated these MTs.
For a moment, the Dark World's players even wondered if these Tier 3 MTs were fully geared in Bronze Equipment.
The Dark World's players were merely a group of Level 120-plus, Tier 3 NPCs. It wasn't as if they hadn't clashed with the Tier 3 NPC soldiers in NPC cities before. Although the NPCs' Basic Attributes and combat standards were much higher than players', the gap between them shouldn't be so massive.
At this moment, let alone the Dark World's players, even Ling Yi's members were flabbergasted.
Over 1,000 Tier 3 players and several thousand Tier 2 experts were no small fry. Even the various superpowers would have a headache trying to deal with such a force. Most likely, they'd have to fight for quite some time to end the battle, yet before these Tier 3 Knights, these Tier 3 players were no different from infants. The two sides' combat standards were on completely different levels.
Only the Shifeng players didn't seem surprised by this situation.
On the surface, the Tier 3 Knights were indeed only a dozen or so levels higher than the Tier 3 experts. The difference in combat power shouldn't be that great, even if the Tier 3 Knights were fully geared in Epic Weapons and Equipment.
However, current God's Domain's players didn't know that Tier 3 NPCs had different combat standards. The most obvious difference between NPCs and Tier 3 NPCs was their ability to unlock their Mana Bodies.
Unlike NPCs, players didn't need to spend a lot of time unlocking their Mana Bodies after reaching Tier 3. However, NPCs didn't need to do so after reaching Tier 3. Unlocking their Mana Bodies depended entirely on their talent and potential. Tier 3 NPCs with high talent and potential could quickly unlock their Mana Bodies, while those with average talent and potential might never unlock their Mana Bodies.
Meanwhile, Ling Yi's Knight Legion was made up of carefully selected elite NPCs. They weren't like the NPC soldiers in NPC cities. Those capable of reaching Tier 3 also possessed high talent and potential. Hence, unlocking their Mana Bodies after reaching Tier 3 was only a matter of time. They didn't need to slowly explore their Mana Bodies like peak and apex experts.
However, what about the current Tier 3 experts of God's Domain?
Let alone fully unlocked their Mana Bodies, there weren't even many Tier 3 experts that had fully unlocked their Mana Bodies. Hence, Shi Feng was still ten years too early to deal with Tier 3 Elite NPCs with fully unlocked Mana Bodies.
After all, shortly after Tier 4 players had appeared in God's Domain, the various Knight Divisions only needed 200 to 300 Tier 3 NPCs to defend an entire city. Otherwise, how could the various Knight Divisions possibly suppress so many Tier 3 experts in an era where mainstream experts had already reached Tier 3?
Moreover, Ling Yi's Knight Legion had plenty of Tier 3 Knights from the Orc, Elf, and Giant races. These Knights' combat power was a rank higher than that of human NPCs of the same level. Their combat power was on par with Mysterious-Iron Orc Warriors and Secret-Silver Human Warriors.
Even the weakest of these Tier 3 NPCs was at Mysterious-Iron rank.
Even Tier 3 peak experts, who were fully geared in top-tier equipment, couldn't last more than a few hits against these NPCs, much less a group of players who were far weaker than peak experts.
However, before anyone on the battlefield could react, Ling Yi's Knight Legion had already swept through the battlefield. Wherever the Knight Legion passed, the Dark Players were harvested like wheat. Not a single player could last more than three moves against the Knight Legion.
It could be said that the entire battlefield did not have any flashy battles or shocking battle techniques.
There was only pure power and fear!
In less than two minutes, the first wave of 50,000 players that had charged into the battlefield were lying on the ground. Among them, 6,000 Tier 3 experts had died. In contrast, Ling Yi's Knight Legion hadn't suffered a single casualty. In fact, the Knight Legion hadn't even injured the Tier 3 Knights.
For a time, the battlefield fell deathly silent.
The Dark Players that had intended to charge into the fray couldn't help but back away.
"How is this possible?" Furious Heart, who had been about to charge at Zero Wing, could not help but gasp when he saw the Dark Players lying on the ground.
He had thought that the Dark World's side would emerge victorious. He had also considered all sorts of possibilities. He had even considered the possibility that the battle would drag on for a long time. However, he hadn't expected this outcome.
That was 6,000 Tier 3 experts they were talking about!
That was a frightening combat power that could easily destroy a Guild City. Yet, before Ling Yi's Knight Legion, these Tier 3 experts were no different from Common monsters.
"How is the difference in combat power so massive?" Words couldn't describe the shock Elder Gold and Female Dark Knight, who hadn't participated in the battle, felt when they saw the annihilation of the first wave of players.
They had thought that the Shifeng's arrogant words were a joke, but they hadn't expected Ling Yi to be so powerful.
They had thought that Ling Yi's decision to not use the Flying Ships and the ranged players' large-scale destruction Spells was foolish. Now, however, it would seem that his decision wasn't so foolish.
The difference in combat power between the two sides was simply too massive. Ling Yi had no need to resort to such tricks.
After all, the 1,000-plus NPCs didn't look like Tier 3 players at all. They looked more like Tier 4 Mythic monsters. Moreover, these Mythic monsters had very high combat standards.
Most likely, only the Dark World's foundation could defeat such a force. Otherwise, if the Dark World's current players charged into the fray, they would die.
"How are these Tier 3 NPCs so strong?" Dawn Dominance frowned as he watched the thousands of Tier 3 players die. Gritting his teeth, he shouted, "Everyone, listen up! Now is not the time to hold back! All Guilds and adventurer teams, use your trump cards and split up to defeat these Tier 3 NPCs! Otherwise, the Teleportation Gate will fall under Ling Yi's control in the future!"
At Dawn Dominance's command, the members of the various major powers and adventurer teams snapped out of their daze and began to take action.
While Ling Yi's Knight Legion was frightening, the various major powers and adventurer teams weren't to be trifled with, either. After all, no power would hide trump cards that far exceeded their combat power. Since Ling Yi had such a trump card, they naturally had one as well.
For a time, the various major powers and adventurer teams no longer held back and began to reveal their trump cards.
Tier 4 Summoning Scrolls!
Advanced Magic Barriers!
Tier 3 NPC Guards!
In less than a minute, not only had 60 Tier 4 combatants appeared on the battlefield, but there were also nearly 4,000 Tier 3 NPC Personal Guards. Everyone on the battlefield couldn't help but shudder at the frightening aura these Personal Guards radiated. This was especially true for the various superpowers' members, who watched the battle from afar.
What was despair?
What was fear?
The Dark World's various major powers and adventurer teams' strength was on full display.
"Amazing! Truly amazing! Sure enough, the Dark World's foundations aren't something a single power can hope to stop! Anyone who dares to resist will only end up dead! "Furious Heart's excitement grew when he saw this scene.
Previously, Ling Yi's 1,000-plus Tier 3 NPCs had indeed been shocking, but compared to the Dark World's forces, that was nothing.
"Good! Everyone, attack! " When Dawn Dominance saw this spectacular scene, he declared heroically, "Annihilate Zero Wing and avenge our fallen brothers!"
With such a force, not to mention Ling Yi, even if Ling Yi remained in Stone Forest City, the outcome would still be the same.
Following Dawn Dominance's command, the various major powers and adventurer teams on the battlefield grew even more excited. They never thought that they could gather such a frightening force.
They commanded their Tier 4 combatants and Tier 3 NPCs to charge at Ling Yi's Knight Legion.
Wasn't Ling Yi's Knight Legion very powerful?
Let's see how you'll act now that you're facing such a despair-inducing army!
Meanwhile, Ling Yi's members began to panic.
The difference in combat power between the Dark World's army and the Dark World's army was simply despairing.
However, just as the Dark World's players thought that the Shifeng would fall into despair and panic, the Shifeng remained surprisingly calm as he watched the NPC army charge at him. He simply took out a ring from his bag.
"Miniature World!"
