Chapter 1336 鈥?Stormy Stone Forest Town

The sudden command to retreat confused the members of Zero Wing.

Only eight one-horned humanoid monsters stood before them. Although their levels were a little high, all above Level 50, even the strongest among them was only a Lord. They also had less HP than monsters of the same rank and level. Taking these monsters on wouldn鈥檛 be impossible for this team from Zero Wing.

Even so, everyone listened to their team leader and immediately retreated.

鈥淒o you actually think you can escape?鈥?A cloaked figure suddenly emerged from the stone house. This cloaked man鈥檚 entire body had been wrapped in bandages. Sneering, the man said, 鈥淛ust stay here and sacrifice yourselves!鈥?/p>

Although the cloaked man hadn鈥檛 been particularly loud, everyone had heard him clearly, and they shuddered involuntarily.

The team鈥檚 rangers were more shocked than their companions. They had kept Eagle Eyes active, which allowed them to perceive all players and monsters within a certain range, yet they had failed to detect the one-horned monsters and the cloaked man even as he stood before them.

Before the team could put some distance between themselves and these new enemies, the humanoid monsters smiled sinisterly as they dashed forward. They were so fast that they left afterimages in their wake.

With just a few steps, the Evil Beasts had crossed 30 yards and caught up with the retreating Zero Wing members.

鈥淪o fast!鈥?/p>

鈥淒o you really think we鈥檙e afraid of you?!鈥?/p>

Realizing that they couldn鈥檛 outrun these Evil Beasts, three Level 40 Shield Warriors and one Level 41 Guardian Knight turned to stop the monsters鈥?approach.

Voice of Anger!

Justice Roar!

With their AOE Taunt Skills activate, the eight Evil Beasts couldn鈥檛 attack other players for a short time.

鈥淔oolish!鈥?the cloaked man sneered.

In the next moment, the Evil Beasts鈥?claws emitted a faint, gray fog. The Evil Beasts then launched a barrage of attacks against the Shield Warriors and Guardian Knight.

The instant the Evil Beasts鈥?claws collided with the four MTs鈥?shields, the sharp claws passed through them as if they didn鈥檛 exist and slashed the MTs helmets.

These MTs instantly lost over 13,000 Hp, a large fraction of their totals, after a single attack. Before the healers in the rear could react, these MTs took several more hits.

In the blink of an eye, four MTs, each with nearly 40,000 HP, died鈥?/p>

Their companions were stunned.

However, several calm Elementalists and Rangers had reacted quickly and responded with attacks of their own.

Immediately, dozens of arrows and Spells flew towards the eight Evil Beasts. However, like agile Assassins, the Evil Beasts dodged most of the attacks and blocked the rest. As a result, they survived the volley, remaining unharmed.

Most surprisingly, the distance between these monsters and the team had shortened.

Suddenly, a Level 54, Lord ranked Evil Beast jumped into the crowd of players. It brandished its claws at the nearby healers, the gray fog extending and transforming into sharp blades.

A gray arch, extending to 15 yards, tore through Zero Wing鈥檚 rear line.

With a single attack, the cloth armor classes with low Defense, aside from a few Elementalists that had responded quickly and used Blink to escape, died instantly. In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the team of 50 had died. The Level 54 Lord鈥檚 strength made the surviving Zero Wing members tremble.

鈥淩un! Scatter and run!鈥?the Ranger serving as the team鈥檚 leader shouted in the team chat.

Hearing this, these players gritted their teeth as they split up and ran. With this, the eight Evil Beasts wouldn鈥檛 be able to catch them.

However, the Evil Beasts were incredibly fast. Despite splitting up, most of the team died. Only a few Assassins and players with Instantaneous Movement Magic Scrolls escaped death.

鈥淏rother Wave, are you just going to let them get away?鈥?Flame Blood, wearing a Black Cloak and wielding a blackwood staff, approached from the nearby forest. Glancing at the fleeing Zero Wing members, he could not help but ask, 鈥淚f you let them get away, they will warn Zero Wing. Capturing Stone Forest Town will become more troublesome.鈥?/p>

鈥淭hat鈥檚 exactly what I want,鈥?Abandoned Wave, who was covered in bandages, said, sneering. 鈥淚 want Zero Wing to amass its combat power in Stone Forest Town. Only then will Stone Forest Town be worth destroying. Right, how are the preparations going?鈥?/p>

鈥淭he Evil Beast army has gathered. They are standing by not far from here,鈥?Flame Blood said, smiling. 鈥淚s it really necessary to dispatch all of them? We鈥檙e talking about 500,000 Evil Beasts, and that鈥檚 not including the Evil Demon army under your control. With this army, we can annihilate two or three Stone Forest Towns simultaneously.鈥?/p>

Not many Evil Beasts had taken part in the prior battle for Stone Forest Town. However, this time was different. Not only were more Evil Beasts participating in the siege this time, but each one was also stronger than before. Even the weakest Evil Beast was a Level 60 Elite. Their army had nearly 40,000 Level 60-plus Chieftains, 3,000-plus Lords, 200-plus Great Lords, and 40-plus Grand Lords.

However, this wasn鈥檛 the most important factor.

To ensure Zero Wing鈥檚 destruction and avoid any mishaps, they had even dispatched five Level 70, Mythic ranked Evil Beasts.

In the face of such a force, Stone Forest Town鈥檚 defenses were a joke.

They also had the Evil Demon army, which Abandoned Wave and spent his time carefully nurturing. Although the army was not particularly large, with only 6,000 or so Evil Demons, the threat it posed could likely rival that of the 500,000 Evil Beast army.

鈥淕ood. We鈥檒l make our way to Stone Forest Town and show Zero Wing鈥檚 people what despair tastes like,鈥?Abandoned Wave said, laughing.

He had waited for this moment for a very long time.

Zero Wing was the reason his plan to take control of Star-Moon Kingdom had failed. This time, however, he wouldn鈥檛 give Zero Wing a chance. As long as he annihilated Stone Forest Town and proved his strength to the corporation, he could reclaim his position in the Blackwater Corporation.

鈥?/p>

Elsewhere, the sudden appearance of the Evil Beast army had attracted the attention of Star-Moon Kingdom鈥檚 various powers.

After all, the numbers and strength of this Evil Beast army were not to be taken lightly. The army could easily trample any Guild town. If players weren鈥檛 careful, they could get caught in the devastation.

This was especially true for the Guilds based in Star-Moon City. Although they had been aware of quite a few Evil Beasts operating near the city and had suffered many losses as a result, they had never imagined that the threat would be so great.

鈥淲hat? You鈥檙e saying these Evil Beasts are marching towards Stone Forest Town?鈥?/p>

鈥淭his is interesting. Against so many monsters, even Zero Wing could fall.鈥?/p>

鈥淗ahaha! Even the heavens are helping us now! If Zero Wing loses Stone Forest Town, their Guild Mounts will mean nothing.鈥?/p>

鈥?/p>

After the various powers investigated the Evil Beast army鈥檚 movements, they celebrated.

Now, the threat of Zero Wing would vanish.

鈥?/p>

Meanwhile, the players in Stone Forest Town were panicking.

鈥淲hy are these monsters heading hear?! Damn it! What should we do?! Our adventurer team just spent a ton of Gold to buy a house! Are we going to lose it, just like that?鈥?/p>

鈥淭hank goodness! Zero Wing won鈥檛 start selling houses until tomorrow. If we had rushed it, buying a house would鈥檝e been worthless.鈥?/p>

鈥淲hat a pity. Such a good town is going to be destroyed, just like that.鈥?/p>

鈥淚 wonder if Zero Wing can protect the town against so many monsters?鈥?/p>

鈥淚 highly doubt it. You should鈥檝e seen the monster army. Any player that it comes across will die. One of my Assassin friends tried to record the monster army鈥檚 march. In the end, however, the monsters discovered and killed him. They are ridiculously strong. Moreover, any player they kill can鈥檛 log into God鈥檚 Domain for some time. My Assassin friend is dying with regret.鈥?/p>

鈥?/p>

The town鈥檚 players discussed the situation heatedly. Many had already prepared to flee. There were also some that considered staying behind, and others who wanted to watch the upcoming battle. After all, monsters didn鈥檛 often siege a town.

鈥?/p>

The atmosphere in Zero Wing鈥檚 Residence in White River City was tense. The Guild鈥檚 upper echelons had gathered in the Residence鈥檚 meeting room to discuss the current situation, trying to figure out how to deal with the Evil Beast army.

There were simply too many monsters this time. Although Stone Forest Town had far more powerful static defenses than before, protecting the town against such a massive army would still be difficult. However, they were hesitant to mobilize the Guild鈥檚 members as any player those Evil Beasts killed would be barred from logging into God鈥檚 Domain for a short time.

Meanwhile, the Evil Beast army moved ever closer to Stone Forest Town. If they weren鈥檛 prepared, Stone Forest Town would be doomed.

Yet, their Guild Leader had instructed them to stay here. One could just imagine how anxious they were.

Suddenly, the doors to the solemn meeting room swung open, and Shi Feng slowly entered.
