Kuangfa and Shengyan never expected there to be others here. In their opinion, Kuangze Naiyan might have had some special method to sneak in. The defenses of the Ejerton Fortress were so tight, with hundreds of thousands of people moving about inside. That someone could sneak in undetected was almost inconceivable. Yet now, so many thieves had infiltrated—was the defense of Ejerton Fortress really that meaningless?
Kuangfa and Shengyan reacted quickly. Upon discovering the thieves’ ambush, they immediately used their skills to resist. However, their opponents were highly skilled players like Wangzhetianxia and Sun. And it was two against one! Kuangfa waved his staff, preparing to use the Teleport skill to escape. But halfway through the two-second cast time, Sun locked onto him, causing Kuangfa’s body to stiffen.
Sun approached Kuangfa and kicked him hard.
Ice Seal!
As Kuangfa completed the spell, his body was immediately encased in solid ice.
Bang! Sun’s kick landed squarely on the ice.
Ice Seal only lasted two seconds. After that, the ice vanished into thin air.
Sun rushed forward again.
Kuangfa turned to flee, waving his staff to cast Flame Bind. He wanted to bind Sun, but just as he finished casting, a cold light flashed from the side.
Kuangfa’s heart sank. Casting a spell while being ambushed was extremely dangerous.
As he was about to switch to another skill, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his head. Then his vision went black, and he lost consciousness.
A figure appeared behind Kuangfa—it was Yichuidingqing. While Kuangfa was casting Ice Seal, she had activated stealth mode, circling around and taking advantage of the fight between Kuangfa and Sun to land a surprise attack.
Just as Yichuidingqing stunned Kuangfa, Sun dodged the Flame Bind with incredible speed, then used Piercing Strike to stab into Kuangfa’s throat. Yichuidingqing followed up with a backstab from behind.
Kuangfa staggered and fell.
When they turned around, they saw that Wangzhetianxia and Luonandeqingwa had already defeated Shengyan.
Although Kuangfa and Shengyan were skilled, they were still somewhat inferior to players like Sun and Wangzhetianxia. In a one-on-one fight, they might not even win. Let alone being outnumbered two to one. With Sun’s team coordination, Kuangfa and Shengyan had no chance.
“Did the leader die?”
The members of the Mage Alliance stared blankly at the corpses of Kuangfa and Shengyan. Their leader was dead. What should they do now? Should they keep fighting?
As the Mage Alliance hesitated, the Golden Earth Dragon exhaled a breath of dragon fire. The searing heat instantly reduced three players from the Mage Alliance to ashes.
“Everyone run!”
“Damn it, the Golden Earth Dragon is too crazy!”
The Mage Alliance players scattered in panic. Suddenly, Nieyan appeared behind one of the mages, slashing him down with a single strike.
Nieyan killed three players, while the Golden Earth Dragon slaughtered over a dozen, leaving a trail of corpses.
Sun and Wangzhetianxia immediately turned their attention to players like Xiaoyao Fengtian.
Seeing the dire situation, the Mage Alliance players tried to escape using random teleport scrolls. Some had just taken out their scrolls but hadn’t managed to use them before being cut down.
A few minutes later, the hall was filled with corpses, leaving only Nieyan’s group of five and the Golden Earth Dragon.
They collected the dropped equipment.
“Nieyan, should we go back now?” Sun asked.
Nieyan looked at the pile of corpses and suddenly had a wild idea. “Not yet. Since we’re here, we might as well mess with them big time! Let’s go on a rampage and make Ejerton Fortress run red with blood.”
“I like that idea,” Wangzhetianxia said with a smile.
“You guys go play around. I’ll take the Golden Earth Dragon and charge out!” Nieyan said. Thieves weren’t meant for frontal assaults; they specialized in ambushes, and they needed to make full use of that advantage.
“We’ll follow Nieyan’s orders. Even if it means walking through fire and water, we won’t flinch,” Luonandeqingwa said, inspired by Nieyan and Wangzhetianxia’s boldness. Yichuidingqing folded her arms, looking slightly exasperated. Men were just more impulsive. Since everyone had decided, she would go along too.
“Alright, follow my lead,” Nieyan said. He already had a plan. He was going to make a huge impact in Ejerton Fortress! Killing Kuangfa and Shengyan wasn’t enough!
Meanwhile, Shengyan and Kuangfa had already respawned at the graveyard.
“Damn that Kuangze Naiyan!” Kuangfa muttered in frustration. Against players like Sun and Wangzhetianxia working together, they had little chance of escape.
“Are Kuangze Naiyan’s people still inside Ejerton Fortress?” Shengyan asked. It was too late to say anything now. The Braver Tribe would definitely post the video online, and their reputation would be ruined. Getting killed in their own base—how humiliating!
“They should have already left,” Kuangfa replied naturally. Since Kuangze Naiyan had successfully assassinated them, he probably wouldn’t stay around. After all, inside Ejerton Fortress, if he gathered several thousand players to surround Nieyan’s group and brought a few shadow priests to lock them down, even if Nieyan had extraordinary skills, there would be no way for them to escape Ejerton Fortress.
Suddenly, Kuangfa’s voice chat rang. He answered it and listened for a moment before his expression changed drastically.
“What happened?” Shengyan noticed Kuangfa’s grim expression and asked.
“Kuangze Naiyan is still at our guild headquarters! That guy is too audacious!” Kuangfa cursed and immediately issued orders in the guild chat to organize the Mage Alliance players.
Shengyan pondered. It seemed that Kuangze Naiyan wasn’t going to end it here. What exactly did he plan to do in Ejerton Fortress?
Kuangfa looked at Shengyan and said, “Let’s go check it out together.”
Shengyan nodded. This was no longer just about the Mage Alliance. If the Mage Alliance suffered major losses, the Holy Guardians wouldn’t escape unscathed either!
The two hurriedly rushed toward the guild headquarters.
At this point, Ejerton Fortress had already fallen into complete chaos. Wangzhetianxia and others kept appearing, ambushing Mage Alliance players. Ejerton Fortress was now engulfed in a wave of white terror. Players were dying one after another, many not even knowing how they had been killed. Wangzhetianxia and others would silently appear, kill one or two, and then silently vanish.
Many players helplessly watched as their companions were stunned and killed before they could even react. By the time they tried to intervene, their companions had already become cold corpses, and Wangzhetianxia’s group had already disappeared from sight.
The Mage Alliance’s casualty count rapidly increased, soon surpassing one hundred, then heading toward two hundred.
On the street outside the guild headquarters, the massive Golden Earth Dragon appeared in the vision of the Mage Alliance players. This invincible top-tier pet, with a level far beyond ordinary players, immediately unleashed incredible power.
Nieyan climbed onto a nearby tower, holding the Headless Knight Doro’s crossbow. He aimed at the players below, firing arrows one after another while simultaneously controlling the Golden Earth Dragon. The Mage Alliance players on the street didn’t even understand what was happening.
“It’s Kuangze Naiyan’s Golden Earth Dragon!”
“How did it appear here?!”
The street was immediately thrown into chaos. The crowded players pushed and shoved, unable to flee quickly.
The Golden Earth Dragon exhaled a stream of dragon fire toward the densest crowd. Dozens of Mage Alliance players immediately turned into streaks of white light.
“Everyone, scatter quickly!” someone shouted.
But in such a crowded street, how could they possibly disperse?
“Don’t retreat! We have so many people. We can easily kill that Golden Earth Dragon!”
“Warrors, charge! Hold it off!”
Nieyan glanced at the distance, where hundreds of players were gathering, attempting to organize against the Golden Earth Dragon. He smirked coldly and issued a command to the dragon.
The Golden Earth Dragon uttered a series of incomprehensible dragon words, then exhaled a gust of air with a low growl.
In the distant sky, magical energy rapidly gathered, forming a massive fireball. The blazing fireball fell from the sky with a thunderous boom, exploding and igniting a thirty-by-thirty-yard area in searing flames. Screams filled the air as hundreds of players were instantly reduced to a handful of survivors.
Seeing this scene, the Mage Alliance players turned pale with fear. Who would dare to stay now? The Golden Earth Dragon’s reputation was already legendary, and they couldn’t even muster the slightest resistance.
Nieyan continued his massacre of the Mage Alliance players.
Seeing the Golden Earth Dragon chasing a large group of players, Wangzhetianxia couldn’t help but exclaim, “The Golden Earth Dragon is truly amazing. We spent half the day killing only thirty people, but the Golden Earth Dragon wiped out hundreds with a single AoE spell.”
“That’s for sure,” Luonandeqingwa agreed wholeheartedly.
As the Golden Earth Dragon continued its slaughter, high-level players from across Ejerton Fortress were converging on the area. From the west, a group of over a thousand players approached in an orderly formation. Wangzhetianxia climbed to a high vantage point and saw that the leaders were none other than Kuangfa and Shengyan.
“Nieyan, Kuangfa and Shengyan are coming with a large force. Be careful,” Wangzhetianxia whispered privately. Even if the Golden Earth Dragon was powerful, it couldn’t possibly face a thousand players at once.
“Understood,” Nieyan nodded.
Kuangfa and Shengyan led their thousand-strong force toward the scene, their anger rising. Kuangze Naiyan was too arrogant! He had gone too far!
Nieyan spotted Kuangfa and Shengyan’s approaching force in the distance. After a moment of thought, he jumped down from the rooftop. This time, he was going to make a big move!
“Commander Soda, lead your forces in a charge! All mages, prepare!” Kuangfa roared furiously. He couldn’t allow the Golden Earth Dragon to keep wreaking havoc!
Over two hundred warriors activated their charges, forming a torrent of steel, rushing toward the Golden Earth Dragon.
