"Why does that matter? We have so many people, there"s nothing to fear, shoot!"
Apocalypse had the quant.i.ty advantage and w.a.n.g Yu"s position was the best for a long-distance attack. Holding back the attack and waiting for him to come closer would be an unwise idea.
Upon receiving the order, Apocalypse"s Magicians and Archers immediately launched attacks on w.a.n.g Yu.
The entire sky of magic and arrows instantly shadowed over w.a.n.g Yu and the guards behind him.
No matter how strong w.a.n.g Yu was, in face of such a large scale attack, he could only cover his vulnerable parts… Helplessly allowing the arrows to rain down on him, it took only one round for w.a.n.g Yu"s Spirit Guard to be forced out.
"F*ck!!!"
w.a.n.g Yu quietly panicked. In the past, w.a.n.g Yu could single-handedly take down attacks by the Archers but the combined attack caused w.a.n.g Yu immense pressure for the very first time…
The 2.5 seconds of invincibility pa.s.sed quickly. Apocalypse was ready for the second round of attack. w.a.n.g Yu dodged to hide aside. Just as he was about to take out another item for defence, a ray of red light emitted from the guards" body and they started to charge towards Apocalypse"s players.
"These are, system, system guards?"
At that point in time, Apocalypse saw clearly who were those people behind w.a.n.g Yu and they were stunned.
"d.a.m.n it, it is those aggressive guards…"
"Why are there so many of them?"
Before the Apocalypse"s players regained their composure, the guards had charged to barely several metres before them.
"s.h.i.+eld Formation!" The leader hurriedly ordered his subordinates to form the s.h.i.+eld Formation as he saw the guards charged over.
The s.h.i.+eld Formation was a level 30 skill for the Guardians to complement the other tank job defense skills. For every person added, the s.h.i.+eld Formation"s defense abilities and Hinder values will increase by 10%. A maximum of 50 people can join the formation.
Amongst the 2000 people in Apocalypse, 300 were Guardians. Six s.h.i.+eld Formations could shelter almost everyone under the gold rays.
However, no matter how powerful the s.h.i.+eld Formation was, in face of these system guards, it could only hang in there for a while… Furthermore, these aggressive Apocalypse players drove them into Rage mode.
The two sides battled and the guards tore Apocalypse"s s.h.i.+eld Formation apart in one round. By the second round, more than half of Apocalypse players had died, and by the third round, 2000 people had been ma.s.sacred.
w.a.n.g Yu stood on a roof in awe as these guards" abilities were beyond his imagination.
"Well done, next stop is the port entrance." Fearless saw that there were only several players left at the south gate and sent a message to w.a.n.g Yu.
"Got it!"
Without Fearless, w.a.n.g Yu also knew what he had to do next. After all, after they killed the Apocalypse"s players, the guards" attention will be turned back to w.a.n.g Yu.
Under Rage mode, the guards" speed increased. w.a.n.g Yu had to sustain his Qing Gong in order to keep them chasing.
Sky Dragon City really faced many disasters. When the server just opened, it was overtaken by a BOSS. Now, there were guards conducting a ma.s.sacre along their way. The players in Sky Dragon City were frightened by this weird scene. They started to hide in shops, offices, and even sent messages to their friends, "Guards on a ma.s.sacre… Do not return to the city for the time being."
After w.a.n.g Yu left with the guards, Fearless and the rest quickly entered the city. The Apocalypse"s army of two thousand men was already wiped out by the guards, leaving less than fifty men. Just by their abilities, of course, these fifty men could not stop the experts from Quan Zhen Sect. After he killed the remaining b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the Apocalypse, Fearless followed the cleared path and smoothly headed towards the port.
"Leader Solitary, Quan Zhen Sect has entered the city!" The head of the south gate reported on the guild chat.
"Entered the city?" Nine Solitary Spears was extremely shocked, "So many of you could not hold them back?"
"How can we hold them back? Those Pugilists brought an entire barrack of guards to wipe out the city… We were all killed within seconds." The head replied in an upset tone.
"d.a.m.n it! Brought guards to ma.s.sacre the city?" Nine Solitary Spears froze in fear. Why are the system guards following his orders? Could he be a GM?
"Where is that Pugilist heading to?" Nine Solitary Spears asked.
"Rus.h.i.+ng to the port…" The head replied.
"…" Nine Solitary Spears broke out in sweat and immediately roared in the chat, "Brothers at the port, quickly leave! Try to find somewhere to hide."
An entire barrack of guards… Just one guard alone could circle in on his target, with several hundreds of them, wouldn"t they be able to kill even the strongest target? Apocalypse players would be sending themselves to their deathbeds by staying there.
The players in the port had already heard about this news in the chat but because their leader had not given the order, they did not dare to retreat. Once Nine Solitary Spears gave the order, all of them sprinted out of the port.
Hidden Lurker and Nian Liuyun were no longer pursued by w.a.n.g Yu. They took the shortest route to the port and upon their arrival, Hidden Lurker was instantly unhappy when he saw that the Apocalypse players were retreating. He immediately sent a message to Nine Solitary Spears, "Leader Solitary, what are you doing? I have paid every single cent you asked for."
Nine Solitary Spears replied, "Leader Lurker, I"m afraid I can"t help you anymore. Don"t worry, I will return half of the money to you."
Nine Solitary Spears was not one to lose out. After all, since so many of his people died, Hidden Lurker had to give him some compensation.
"You!!" Hidden Lurker was filled with anger. Nine Solitary Spear"s character was indeed the worst of the worst. He went back on his word in the process and even worse, he gave up halfway and yet still kept half of the payment. Such actions were too much.
Hidden Lurker really wanted to lash out at Nine Solitary Spears but as he still needed his help, he could only calm down and said, "Can you tell me why?"
"That d.a.m.n Pugilist from Quan Zhen Sect brought several hundreds of guards to wipe out the city. No matter how many people we have, there will never be enough." Nine Solitary Spears shouted.
"Guards on a ma.s.sacre?" Hidden Lurker heard what Nine Solitary Spears said and instantly understood what was going on such that his eyes uncontrollably squinted.
"Leader Solitary, how about this? You can keep the remaining 2000 gold coins but can you lend me someone?" Hidden Lurker said.
"Lend? Who?" Nine Solitary Spears was slightly puzzled.
2000 gold coins was the payment for 2000 people to turn up. It was odd that Hidden Lurker spent so much to borrow just one person.
"I heard that the top Guardian, Thunderlord Block, is in your guild?" Hidden Lurker asked.
"You want to borrow him…" Nine Solitary Spears said.
Thunderlord Block was treated as a great G.o.d. Even Nine Solitary Spears, his in-game leader, could not force an order upon him. In face with such a request, Nine Solitary Spears had a headache. Hidden Lurker had specified for only Thunderlord Block. This made things pretty difficult for Nine Solitary Spears.
With Thunderlord Block"s horrible temper, he would not even bother partic.i.p.ating in such meaningless vendetta. If he heard Nine Solitary Spears sold him for just 2000 gold coins, he would definitely kill him.
