The Sacred Guardians had always held the city of Keluoduo, and since there were no strong enemies nearby, they were relatively safe. No guild had ever dared to attack Keluoks. Although the Bull Tribe had the strength to do so, it had been besieged from all sides and was already struggling to cope.
“Who triggered the magical alarm?” Shengyan asked in the guild chat.
“It was Fengyue. She spotted an unidentified aerial cavalry force above Keluoks when she returned on her flying mount,” a player immediately replied.
Shengyan furrowed his brows slightly. Air cavalry were often used by guilds as vanguard units for attacks. He dared not take it lightly and immediately began mobilizing the forces inside the Keluoks fortress.
“Are there any enemy guild forces approaching Keluoks?”
“No signs detected yet.”
“Expand the scouting range. Everyone else, gather with me at the central plaza! Assemble all aerial cavalry and prepare the anti-air magic cannons!” Shengyan commanded.
Under Shengyan’s orders, the entire fortress quickly sprang into action.
“Let’s go out and check,” Shengyan said to Kuangfa and the others.
Kuangfa and the others nodded. They were now officially members of the Sacred Guardians, although they were reluctant to be subordinate to them, they had no choice.
As they were about to head outside, they suddenly heard three loud booms, and the ground shook violently.
Shengyan’s expression changed. He asked in the guild chat, “What’s going on?” Could someone have already breached Keluoks?
Not far from the headquarters of the Sacred Guardians, Leisu, CuiLanDaoGuang, and ShuiSeYanTou successively descended from the sky, landing into several shops and crashing through their roofs.
After advancing to the ranks of Holy Swordsmen and Divine Warriors, their physical strength had been greatly enhanced. The class talents of Holy Swordsmen and Divine Warriors were damage reduction, making ordinary fall injuries completely ineffective against them.
Leisu landed steadily, his body instinctively crouching to absorb the impact. The bluestone floor beneath his feet shattered into pieces.
Inside the shop, some players were purchasing items when they saw Leisu suddenly descend from the sky, leaving them all staring in shock.
After stabilizing his landing posture, Leisu stood up and scanned everyone in the shop. He spoke in a deep voice, “Leisu of the Bull Tribe is here. Non-related players, leave immediately! We are only here to kill members of the Sacred Guardians!”
Leisu’s voice was like a thunderclap, making the players’ eardrums buzz. They looked at him. He was a head taller than them, clad entirely in thick metal armor that reflected blinding metallic luster under the sunlight, like a towering celestial god. They had to look up to see him.
Bang! Bang! Two magical attacks struck Leisu, and two large “MISS” floated above his head.
Leisu looked toward the source of the magic attacks. They were two mages, staring at him in confusion.
Leisu snorted coldly, “So arrogant!” He swung his sword downward, releasing a crescent-shaped sword wave. The two mages couldn’t dodge in time and were engulfed by the wave. They let out two screams and turned into two beams of white light. The shop’s wall was cut in half by the sword wave, allowing sunlight to pour in through the breach.
There were no more members of the Sacred Guardians here. Leisu walked forward, but a wall blocked his path. He threw a punch, and with a loud boom, debris flew everywhere, and the wall collapsed, creating an exit. He walked through the opening without any hindrance, leaving behind a dozen or so players staring in shock at his retreating figure.
Meanwhile, CuiLanDaoGuang and ShuiSeYanTou approached from their respective locations, joining Leisu. Any player from the Sacred Guardians they encountered on the street was mercilessly slain, leaving a trail of corpses in their wake.
“Should we wait for Neevan and the others?” Leisu asked CuiLanDaoGuang and ShuiSeYanTou.
CuiLanDaoGuang shook his head. “The Sacred Guardians’ guild headquarters is nearby. Let’s go straight there!”
“Today, we’re going to have a glorious slaughter!” ShuiSeYanTou declared with great enthusiasm.
Although Keluoks was the main fortress of the Sacred Guardians, with over a million players active there, including more than a hundred thousand from the Sacred Guardians alone, they were scattered throughout the fortress. Most of them probably didn’t even know that ShuiSeYanTou and the others had already infiltrated their stronghold. In such a vast fortress, it would be difficult for the Sacred Guardians to corner the three of them.
The alarm bells of the Keluoks fortress rang again and again, piercing the sky. Most of the players inside the fortress were still confused about what was happening, creating chaos.
Just as ShuiSeYanTou and the others were speaking, a group of about a hundred Sacred Guardians players surged from the end of the street toward them.
“They’re from the Bull Tribe! Block them all!” The leader, a shield warrior wielding a heavy shield, charged forward with a roar, rushing toward ShuiSeYanTou and the others. The warriors behind him followed suit, attempting to use their numbers to intercept the trio.
As the shield warrior approached, CuiLanDaoGuang roared and took a step forward, slamming his heavy shield toward the incoming opponent.
A heavy pressure surged forward, causing the shield warrior’s heart to tighten. He quickly raised his shield to block. With a loud bang, the two heavy shields collided.
The shield warrior’s heavy shield shattered like a tile, instantly breaking apart. A powerful force struck him, causing his body to fly backward uncontrollably.
CuiLanDaoGuang took another step forward and swung his one-handed sword downward. A flash of white light appeared, and the shield warrior was instantly beheaded.
Behind him, a priest from the Sacred Guardians was about to cast a healing spell on the fallen warrior but realized it was already too late before he could finish the incantation.
A level 95 shield warrior had just been killed like this, leaving the priest somewhat stunned.
To Leisu and his companions, this group of players was like ants. There was a fundamental difference between top-tier classes and ordinary first-tier classes. Due to their top-tier class talents, their defenses were more than double that of any warrior here. Attacks from regular players could only deal three-digit damage at most and often resulted in misses. Each of them had at least 50,000 to 60,000 hit points, with CuiLanDaoGuang, the tank-type warrior, having an astonishing 80,000 to 90,000 hit points. They were undoubtedly genuine heavy tanks!
“Go back and tell Shengyan that Master ShuiSeYanTou of the Bull Tribe has come to collect his debt!” ShuiSeYanTou said solemnly. He swung his sword, sending three warriors flying. With a sudden charge, he shoved aside a couple of warriors and charged into the group of mages behind them.
The dozen or so mages from the Sacred Guardians, in a panic, tried to flee outside, but it was already too late.
ShuiSeYanTou let out a low growl, unleashing his Whirlwind Slash!
A powerful storm of sword energy formed around ShuiSeYanTou, instantly killing all the surrounding mages.
ShuiSeYanTou, Leisu, and CuiLanDaoGuang’s attacks were too fierce. Upon initial contact, over a hundred players had already lost a third of their numbers, and the rest scattered in defeat, wishing they had been born with an extra pair of legs.
Leisu and the others chased for a while before stopping, standing amidst a field of corpses.
Leisu glanced at the dropped equipment on the ground and asked, “Should we take these junk items?” Leisu himself had no interest in these items, but the players under the Bull Tribe might need them, so he asked CuiLanDaoGuang and ShuiSeYanTou.
“Pick up the good equipment. Leave anything below epic quality,” CuiLanDaoGuang said. They didn’t have much time to collect equipment, so they would just take the best pieces.
Only after ten minutes had passed, Leisu and the others had already reached the outside of the Sacred Guardians’ guild headquarters.
The headquarters’ gates were tightly shut. The gates were five yards high, entirely constructed of metal, studded with nails, and appeared imposing and formidable.
Leisu strode directly to the gates, gathering powerful energy into his fists. He roared and delivered a fierce punch, slamming it against the gates. A surge of surging energy flowed from various parts of his body into his right fist.
This was a technique Leisu had learned from Neevan, allowing the energy of his entire body to flow seamlessly. Compared to Neevan, as a Holy Swordsman with a talent for strength, Leisu’s execution of this skill was undoubtedly far more terrifying.
With a thunderous boom, the gates shattered into pieces, falling and collapsing. The three of them rushed into the Sacred Guardians’ guild headquarters.
At this time, Neevan and the others had also descended from the sky in various ways, entering the Keluoks fortress.
As Tangyao and YwangRanChunFeng entered the fortress, they became excited. For them, Keluoks was their battlefield for dominance.
“Tremble, Sacred Guardians! Fear and wail, for your Grandpa Yao is here!” Tangyao laughed loudly, waving his staff. Black flames rained down from the sky, striking players in the distance. From over a hundred yards away, a chorus of pitiful screams erupted.
Hearing Tangyao imitate the boss’s lines from the dungeon, Neevan and the others couldn’t help but smile.
Upon discovering Neevan and the others inside the fortress, players from the Sacred Guardians gathered in groups and rushed toward them, attempting to intercept them.
YwangRanChunFeng uttered two heavy syllables, and a thick lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking the ground with a loud boom, instantly flattening two buildings and a hundred or so players.
Neevan leaped onto a building that was dozens of yards high, overlooking the entire fortress. He scanned the Keluoks fortress and suddenly caught sight of a figure darting through an alley five or six hundred yards away.
Neevan’s eyes narrowed sharply. He recognized that figure all too well—it was Shengyan, the leader of the Sacred Guardians!
