Chapter 686 Oh God!
“Look there! The Dragons are starting to march first!”
“Wow! How many men do they have? Their army looks gigantic!”
“Woah! Even after splitting five ways, they have so many men on their side. What is going to happen?”
“Of course, the dragons are going to win. Now it’s just a matter of which path is going to be captured first.”
“Wait, where is the other side?”
“Look! Look! They are changing the display to show Crimson Abyss!”
“What the heck… what are these guys…”
The entire audience was suddenly dumbfounded. On one side, men were marching together in unison like in a goddamn epic war, while on the other side, there were just a handful of players assembled together haphazardly.
The way they split into five channels was also very random. Overall, the whole scene was utterly underwhelming. Everyone knew that this battle was going to be one-sided but this was too far.
Especially on the fifth path, there were only two people. On the other side, the fifth path had a huge number of players piling up, probably one of the most heavily loaded paths.
Has Crimson Abyss given up on this war? How could a top guild be so weak? At this rate, they were simply going to lose without even putting up a fight.
Meanwhile, on the battleground, the two sides were quickly approaching each other. Players were marching down the five paths, with both sides aiming to cover as much distance as possible.
Soon, the first collision occurred, and coincidentally, this was on the fifth path, the path that only had two guild members from Crimson Abyss.
And just like all the players who were watching the show, the Dragons were also completely taken aback. Never in their wildest dreams did they think that this battle would be so easy.
2 players against 150,000 players?
This was utterly ridiculous, and even among these two players, one looked like a small child.
The commander leading this division grinned in happiness and shouted, “CHARGE! ATTACK!”
The Dragons of Justice took action first. This was going to be their victory. They can claim this path in no time and then push forward to grab the other side’s flag.
Players charged forward in a mad frenzy to attack the two players in front of them. Long-range players started casting, and melee players pounced forward. Everybody wanted to get that easy win.
However, that’s when the nightmare started…
The kid was harmless enough as she silently took a step back with a smile. But the other party, the man who looked like he was in his thirties, was not that simple.
He lifted his gaze to look at the enemy. Every player immediately felt a chill run up their spines. The next instant, the person blurred as he shot forward to the side, into the poisonous forest.
THUD!
THUD!
In a flash, two giant trees from the right side fell onto the path, blocking the majority of the path. Some of the melee players got caught in this fall, the thorns on the trees scraping their armor.
Some even received a cut, which made them instantly paralyzed, showing how notorious the poisonous forest was.
And the man did not stop with that. He repeated the same on the other side, and two more trees fell from the left side.
As a result, the Dragons of Justice were forced to back away. The trees on the path gave them only a narrow space to walk in between, and at most five players could charge at a time.
And when they did… Asura was waiting for them.
With a single sword in his hand, the man slashed at the players who charged through the narrow path, and every single one died.
The whole division was furious. What the heck was happening?
“Stop! Don’t go through those trees anymore! Mages, first burn those damn trees!” Kieran, the commander of this division, shouted in a panic.
However, it was not so simple to stop Asura. The one-man killer machine entered the fray. If they were not going to come to him, then he was going to go to them.
He hurriedly dashed to the side, into the poisonous forest again. One needed to be extremely nimble, agile, and skilled to move through these forests. To the normal players, this was a forbidden ground, but not for him.
In one second, two more trees fell, blocking more players. Now the players were jammed between the two sets of trees, one burning and one not, but both very poisonous.
Of course, there was also the monster who jumped into this small section. Asura spun around, his movement elegant and charming and, at the same time, possessing a deadly aura. The group of players did not last even for a minute. Corpses dropped left and right.
And by the time, he was done with this batch, the little girl had already caught up and healed him back up to full health.
Thus, started the unending nightmare for path number 5.
There was an army on one side and only two players on the other side, but the two were completely untouchable. Not one single attack could be landed.
The two players were relentlessly hunting down the army a dozen at a time. Corpses were piling up on the path, with blood and flesh scattered everywhere.
“RETREAT! RETREAT! RETREAT!” The commander shouted in horror. Kieran had participated in PVP before but this was a plain and simple massacre. This was too cruel. People were dying around him.
Everyone knew by now about the consequences of the game ‘Evolution Online’. Death inside the game meant death in the real life too.
And these many people were suffering. Before the war started, they didn’t think about this, but now after seeing everyone around him drop like flies, he was filled with utter terror.
This war, they should have never started it in the first place. Oh God! Someone needed to save them!
