“No way, you want me to guard the city?” When Wang Yu heard what Fearless said, he began to feel slightly uncomfortable…
Wang Yu was someone who would take things upon himself and this was something that Wang Yu started. Even so, Fearless wanted Wang Yu to hide in the city while everyone fought for him outside. Wang Yu was unable to convince himself to do so.
Fearless smiled, “What are you anxious about? After all, their ultimate target is the City Lord… You are just a bait.”
“F*ck…” Wang Yu kept quiet as he suddenly thought he was being plotted against.
One hundred twenty minutes was neither long nor short. To the enemies from far away, there might not be enough time. However, there was more than enough time for the Twilight City’s players to prepare for their ambush.
As time ticked on, players from the Light Faction started assembling at the entrance of Twilight City.
As the countdown time ended, the system’s public announcement could be seen.
<Public announcement: Kill Twilight City’s City Lord Iron Bull within 48 hours and obtain the City Lord’s scepter to secure victory. Otherwise, the defending team will emerge victorious.>
The attacking players had always felt like they had the overwhelming advantage so none of them regarded a small city like Twilight City highly. The moment the quest started, everyone fought to be the first ones to enter Twilight City.
Everyone had basically fought such a war before. Therefore, it was reasonable to assume that most people knew that the cannons on the walls of the city were not just for display. The ones that charged in first were the ones most likely to die first.
Big guilds with experience and organisations were naturally not going to be the ones charging in front to be the cannon fodder. The ones to bear the brunt of the firepower were the smaller guilds and teams of ordinary players.
Of course, these ordinary players were not as ambitious as the big guilds. The reason why they charged forward was so that they could kill a few Twilight City’s players to earn some points.
Even though Dusk Swamp was on the border of Twilight City and Thorn City, the first batch of players to barge in were not players from Thorn City.
After all, Thorn City and Twilight City were considered old neighbours and players from both cities were close to one another. Therefore, they didn’t feel right to profit from Twilight City’s misfortune.
More importantly, Thorn City was not the home to a relatively large guild. Players from smaller guild knew how deep the waters in Twilight City were so they dared not step into it. Living literally next to Twilight City, how could they not know about the bunch of vicious men in Twilight City?
However, this didn’t mean that other main cities didn’t have large guilds waiting to pounce on this opportunity.
For example, Martial Yin Yang’s Divine Martial Guild was a prime representation for this. As the largest guild in the seven districts, Divine Martial Guild’s size was even more impressive than Sanguine Alliance. Besides the scattered few rogue players trying to barge in first, nobody else dared to compete with them to enter.
Moreover, Divine Martial Guild and Quan Zhen Sect had enmity from a long time ago. Martial Yin Yang had always wanted to bring people into Twilight City to slaughter them but never had the ability to do so. Now that the system gave him a glorious opportunity like this to take revenge, he was never going to let it slip.
After the first batch of cannon fodders entered Dusk Swamp, Martial Yin Yang followed closely behind them with his men.
As they moved deeper in, Martial Yin Yang suddenly felt like something was amiss.
All of a sudden, Martial Yin Yang called out, “Everyone, stop first… Let the other guilds behind us go first!”
At this moment, Divine Soldier asked, “What’s wrong? Why are we giving way?”
Martial Yin Yang pointed at the cannon fodders in front, “Didn’t you notice how the players in front have all disappeared?”
Divine Soldier looked around before saying, “This is a high-level monster zone so those trash are probably eaten by the monsters in the area.”
“No way!” Martial Yin Yang replied, “Even though they are trash, there were over a thousand of them. How could they die without making any noise? I think there should be an ambush!”
“Haha! You’re right!”
At this moment, a voice could be heard and from about ten metres out, a short and fat Archer revealed his head. He shot an arrow with white light towards Martial Yin Yang.
Martial Yin Yang lowered his head to dodge the arrow but the arrow from the Archer actually flew right past Martial Yin Yang. It accurately struck the throat of a Magician behind Martial Yin Yang.
“Ah…” That Magician cried out devastatingly as half his health was gone. Just as he was about to escape, a few more arrows flew from different directions and that Magician turned into a white ray of light in an instant.
“F*ck!” Seeing how the Magician died, Martial Yin Yang was infuriated. He pointed at the fatty Archer in front and shouted, “Who the f*ck are you? How dare you ambush me here?”
Martial Yin Yang was also a gamer so he would naturally think the Twilight City’s players were guarding the city from inside the city. Therefore, he was convinced the person ambushing him was from another guild.
The fatty Archer sneered coldly, “Tsk! Open your dog eyes and look at me. My name is 2012 and no one is to invade Twilight City. Try taking one more step forward and I will mince you up to feed the dogs!”
“2012?”
2012 was also a ranked and renowned expert so Martial Yin Yang was slightly startled when he heard this name. He asked, “What are you doing here instead of guarding the city?”
2012 smiled, “None of your business, but hurry up and bring your men away! Otherwise, you will regret it!”
Martial Yin Yang was not bothered, “What a joke! Just the few of you from your guild and you dare…”
Just when Martial Yin Yang was about to mock how little men 2012 had, a sky full of arrows started flying towards Martial Yin Yang and his men.
2012 brought eighty thousand men and almost half of all the Archers from Twilight City were here. With over forty thousand Archers firing at one time, one could imagine how fearsome the sight was.
After a round of arrows, Divine Martial Guild was only left with two-thirds of their men. Martial Yin Yang instantly shouted, “F*ck! How dare they attack us first? Return fire!”
However, nobody did anything even after the command was given.
“What’s going on? Are all of you dumb?” Martial Yin Yang flew into a rage.
At this point, the other players from Divine Martial Guild replied helplessly, “The long-distance attackers are all dead…”
“What?” Martial Yin Yang was astonished when he heard this. Indeed, the first round of arrows took out all the Magicians and Archers.
“This… How many people are actually on the other side?”
Looking at this sight, Martial Yin Yang panicked.
Divine Martial Guild had over ten thousand men so one-third of their men was over three thousand and all of them were long-distance jobs? Such accuracy will be tough to accomplish even when the enemies outnumbered them by ten folds.
What kind of person was 2012? Why would he have over thirty thousand Archers as his subordinates? To be able to do what he just did, the only other possible reasoning would be the fact that he had over three thousand extremely accurate Archers.
En, this was even more impossible.
Even though Martial Yin Yang doubted 2012’s ability, the hard truth was that Divine Martial Guild really did lose over three thousand men on their side. Regardless of the reason, Divine Martial Guild dared not go head-on against them.
“Disperse! Hurry up and disperse now!” At the thought of this, Martial Yin Yang hurriedly called out his men to retreat.
When 2012 saw that the players from Divine Martial Guild were trying to leave, he said, “So you’re just going to leave now? What do you treat this place as?”
