Twin Towers Kingdom, Shadow Forest:
A six-man scouting party led by a Level 154, Tier 4 Assassin slowly traversed the dense forest.
Dark clouds shrouded the forest all year round. Even on a scorching summer day, the forest remained dark. In addition, the fog shrouding the forest blocked players' perception. Even Tier 3 experts who were familiar with the forest would get lost if they weren't careful.
"Commander, we've been investigating this place for half a day now, yet we still haven't found any traces of the Outerworld's player army. Should we check out the other maps?" A Level 142, Tier 3, blue-clad Assassin asked as he looked at a canyon surrounded by trees.
Now that the war between the kingdoms was imminent, the Twin Towers Kingdom's various powers had dispatched scouting parties to seize the initiative. Among these scouting parties, investigating the Outerworld's player army was of the utmost importance.
Many of the Twin Towers Kingdom's major powers had even offered astronomical rewards, offering a Level 150 Epic Weapon and 200,000 Credits for any information regarding the Outerworld's player army.
This was precisely why, despite many of the Twin Towers Kingdom's expert players running to the Black Dragon Empire and Dark Night Empire, adventurer teams from other kingdoms and empires would still send experts to scout the kingdom.
The Sand Fox adventurer team was one of these adventurer teams.
As a well-known adventurer team in the Dark Night Empire, although the team's overall combat power wasn't particularly high, it was one of the top ten adventurer teams in the empire when it came to locating players.
As soon as the blue-clad Assassin finished speaking, a Level 136 Assassin youth in the party suddenly stopped and landed on a tree branch. He then quietly gazed at the empty forest in the distance.
The youth's actions instantly caused the other members of the party to stop, not daring to move an inch.
"Blade, is there something wrong with that place?" Sky Fox asked the youth in a whisper.
The other members of the team also turned to look at the young Assassin, curiosity filling their eyes.
Although Blade Heart hadn't been playing God's Domain for long and was the lowest-leveled member of the party, his combat standards and intuition were very high. Blade Heart could often discover things that even Sky Fox, a Tier 4 player, couldn't.
This was why they had brought Blade Heart with them to investigate this place.
The young Assassin, Blade Heart, looked at the empty woodland in the distance and said with some uncertainty, "I can't say for sure. I just feel like there's something there."
"Is there anything?" Hearing that, Sky Fox carefully examined the clearing in the forest in the distance.
However, no matter how Sky Fox observed the forest, even after using an Advanced Identification Skill, he failed to discover anything amiss. This was a perfectly normal forest. Not to mention players, he couldn't even detect the aura of a living creature.
However, after a few minutes of observation, Sky Fox and the others noticed a 20-man team in the distance. This team was very strong. Not only were all 20 Tier 4 players, but they were also Level 155 or above. Even the weakest piece of equipment among them was Level 150 Dark-Gold Equipment. The leader of this team even wore a total of five pieces of Epic Equipment.
"These people should be the Outerworld army's vanguard team. Why are they here instead of investigating the Twin Towers Kingdom?" the Tier 3 Assassin asked as he looked at the 20-man team in confusion.
Currently, the Outerworld's player army had dispatched many experts to harass and investigate the Twin Towers Kingdom's situation. Meanwhile, the majority of these experts consisted of Tier 4 players.
As for the 20-man team before them, they were definitely elites.
The other members of the party were also confused and curious about this situation.
Logically, such an elite team should've infiltrated the Twin Towers Kingdom's territory and even wreaked havoc in the kingdom's rear. After all, ordinary powers wouldn't be able to deal with such a powerful team.
At this stage of the game, most likely, only first-rate Guilds could take down such a team. Other Guilds wouldn't even be able to get a scratch on such a team.
While Sky Fox and the others were wondering why this team had appeared here, the team stopped in front of the empty woodland. However, none of these players dismounted from their Mounts. Instead, they stood there quietly as if they were waiting for something.
After a dozen or so seconds, the empty woodland suddenly became illusory. Then, a large spatial tear appeared in the forest, stupefying Sky Fox and the others.
"A magic barrier?"
Practically every player in God's Domain knew about magic barriers. However, the scene before them still shocked Sky Fox and the others.
This was because Sky Fox and the others had never thought that magic barriers could be used in such a manner.
Meanwhile, through the spatial tear, Sky Fox and the others saw a sea of players inside. At a rough estimate, there were several hundred thousand players inside. Moreover, with a casual glance, they spotted plenty of Tier 4 experts.
"Why are there so many Tier 4 experts?"
"It's over. The Twin Towers Kingdom is definitely doomed this time. With so many Tier 4 experts, let alone the Twin Towers Kingdom and Star-Moon Kingdom's players, even the Black Dragon Empire and Dark Night Empire's Tier 4 experts wouldn't be a match."
"Those superpowers from the Black Dragon Empire and Dark Night Empire are ridiculously wrong! The eastern continent is definitely going to fall now!"
When the blue-clad Assassin and the others saw the player army through the spatial tear, their complexions paled and they despaired.
Although God's Domain had plenty of Tier 4 experts at this stage of the game, they were still as rare as phoenix feathers in a kingdom or empire.
At this stage of the game, a kingdom could be considered an extremely powerful peak kingdom if it had 300 or 400 active Tier 4 experts. In a massive empire, however, the number of active Tier 4 experts definitely wouldn't exceed 1,500.
While this number might seem like a lot, kingdoms and empires had player populations in the hundreds of millions. Not even one Tier 4 expert could be found among 100,000 players.
Yet, just the number of Tier 4 experts they saw before them exceeded 5,000. With such strength, not to mention annihilating the Twin Towers Kingdom, even the Black Dragon Empire and Dark Night Empire wouldn't be a problem.
"Commander, what should we do now?" The Tier 3 blue-clad Assassin asked. "With so many Tier 4 experts, the Dark Night Empire and Black Dragon Empire will definitely fall."
Sky Fox smiled bitterly and said, "What else can we do? We can only notify the Black Dragon Empire and Dark Night Empire's superpowers and have them gather the Tier 4 experts in the neighboring kingdoms and empires to defend the eastern continent as soon as possible. Otherwise, we'll have to leave the eastern continent. "
"But those superpowers probably won't listen to us, right?" The Tier 3 blue-clad Assassin asked worriedly. "Those superpowers are focused on dealing with Ling Yi right now. They can't wait for Ling Yi's Twin Towers Kingdom and Starmoon Kingdom to fall. How could they possibly organize reinforcements to defend the eastern continent?"
"We can't care about that anymore," Sky Fox said helplessly. "In any case, we need to spread the news about this place. As for how many experts will come, that'll depend on fate."
Sky Fox no longer held out any hope of success. However, he still wanted to try. He wanted to delay the Outerworld's player forces for as long as possible. That way, more of their native Tier 3 players would be able to get promoted to Tier 4.
However, just as Sky Fox and the others were about to leave and return to the Dark Night Empire to announce the Outerworld's player army's arrival, an ear-piercing rumble came from the sky a short distance away. When Sky Fox's party heard this, they couldn't help but turn toward the source of the sound.
The next thing they saw was a crimson steel behemoth rapidly flying toward them. Moreover, it was obvious that the behemoth was heading straight for them.
"Ling Yi?"
"Why are they here? Have they already discovered the Outerworld's player army? "
Sky Fox was confused as he watched the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship approach.
The Crimson Dragon Flying Ship was Ling Yi's symbol. Practically every player in God's Domain knew about it. The only explanation for the Flying Ship's arrival was that it had discovered the Outerworld's player army.
In the next moment, the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship hovered above the empty woodland, showing no signs of leaving. It was obvious that the Flying Ship had discovered the hidden magic barrier.
"Is Ling Yi planning to launch a crusade against the Outerworld's player army?" The Tier 3 Assassin in blue asked when he saw the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship hovering above the magic barrier.
"That's very likely. However, Ling Yi probably doesn't know how many Tier 4 experts are hiding inside the magic barrier. He'll definitely suffer," Sky Fox said, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes as he watched the Shifeng disembark from the Crimson Dragon Flying Ship.
After the battle at Ancient Rock City, Hei Yan had become a household name. He was undoubtedly God's Domain's number one expert.
However, even a Tier 5 Sword Saint wouldn't stand a chance against 5,000 Tier 4 experts. Not to mention, these Tier 4 experts were well-prepared. After all, even a Tier 5 Sword Saint would lose a significant amount of HP if struck by a Tier 4 player.
If Tier 4 players worked together and used all sorts of Combination Skills and Spells, battle arrays, and other tools, even if the number of Tier 4 players wasn't high, they could still hold their own against Tier 5 players, let alone 5,000 Tier 4 players.
As soon as Sky Fox finished speaking, a magic barrier appeared above the empty woodland. Then, over a hundred Tier 4 magical class players formed groups and began casting various large-scale Spells.
Among these large-scale Spells, there was no lack of Tier 4 large-scale Defensive Spells and Tier 4 large-scale Offensive Spells. Every one of them was just as powerful as a Tier 5 Defensive Spell and Tier 5 Offensive Spell.
Meanwhile, there were over a dozen large-scale Spells. In fact, Shi Feng could vaguely see over 600 players forming a summoning array inside the magic barrier.
The summoning array was extremely complex, and Shi Feng couldn't tell what rank it was.
However, after the 600-plus players finished chanting their incantations, the phantom of a nine-headed serpent emerged from the ground. As this phantom solidified, Sky Fox and the others couldn't help but shudder despite being separated by the magic barrier.
"Tier 5!"
"That's definitely a Tier 5 Legendary monster!"
Although Sky Fox and the others didn't know what kind of monster the Outerworld players had summoned, they could tell from the aura the Outerworld players exuded that it was definitely not a Tier 4 monster. Aside from the rumored Tier 5 Legendary monsters, they couldn't think of any other possibility.
Against such a monster, let alone a Tier 5 Sword Saint, even two or three Tier 5 players working together would most likely struggle to kill it.
At this moment, Sky Fox and the others couldn't help but reveal bitter and despair expressions on their faces.
The appearance of over 5,000 Tier 4 experts was already shocking enough. It also made Sky Fox and the others realize the gap between the continent of God's Domain and the Outerworld players.
However, reality told them that the gap between the continent of God's Domain and the continent of God's Domain was much larger than they had imagined. The 5,000 Tier 4 experts were only the tip of the iceberg.
However, while Sky Fox and the others fell into a daze and despair, the Shifeng standing atop the Flying Dragon Flying Ship didn't seem to notice this. Instead, he slowly rose into the air and hovered above the magic barrier. He then unsheathed the Light of Two Worlds.
"Annihilate!"
The Shifeng brandished the Light of Two Worlds at the magic barrier.
Saint Annihilation!
