431 Don’t Let Them Get Away! (1/2)
The northern sector of Moonrise City.
After Qin Ruo had successfully slain Savior, Violet Orchid led a team of Radiant Priests to swiftly revive every Tier 5 Champion in the battlefield and found the items they had dropped. Given the importance of the Tier 5 Champions' fight, every clan elites were self-respecting enough to not do embarrassing things such as stealing ally champions' equipment.
However, there were those that were especially attentive of the area where Savior fell—being one of the most powerful Demon Faction players, the Legendary highest-grade items that dropped off him certainly capturing great interest of many players.
Be that as it may, those things had already been plundered dry, with simply nothing around there apart from a corpse.
Damn it. Great ability, and such speed at plundering items.
An embarrassment!
And said embarrassment was unquestionably Qin Ruo—when the twelve Frostramparts exploded, he had incidentally landed right beside Savior. Who else could have taken those items?
Still, when they thought about it, the players following behind Violet Orchid calmed themselves. In the end, it was Qin Ruo who had killed Savior, and naturally he was most qualified to claim those items. All they could do was find it all a pity…
***
With more than twenty Tier 5 Champions revived and swiftly seizing control over the city walls, seizing the moment to drive wildly forward at the frontline that had been left hanging by a thread on Savior's terms!
Now, there was no longer a single Tier 5 Demon Faction Champion in sight north of the city. After all, how could a bunch of Tier 4 Elites repel an assault by Tier 5 Champions? It simply did not work, even when some Bowmasters hurriedly charged spells, intent on using powerful long-ranged physical attacks to delay the reclamation of the northern ramparts…
The Demon Faction had lost all aerial superiority over the north of the city!
Black Rock, Apocalypse and Qin Ruo swiftly formed a team, taking turns to move above the Demon Faction players and unleash Tier 5 AoE spells.
Beneath the force of the super-long ranged and potent assault, the astonishing shockwaves left the Tier 4 Bowmasters unable to stand. How would they even threaten the Tier 5 Champions' push?
Thus, they simply watched helplessly as overlapping AoE magic approached, after of which their corpses were trampled over by the Angel Faction—the five-hundred-meter-long ramparts had fallen into their hands quickly, but was not slowly reclaimed either.
Pincered, the Demon Faction players who were teleporting incessantly to the ramparts simply stopped above the backs of the War Behemoths, watching as the flames of battle was pushed towards the city gates…
In that very moment, everyone knew that the Angel Faction's counter-attack was beginning comprehensively.
***
News about the situation at the northern ramparts of Moonrise City quickly spread to the other Angel Factions in the three other sectors!
Those in the Three Great Leagues learned at once as well that without Death Jesus and Leon interfering, the Demon Faction players who had climbed up to the northern ramparts could not form any meaningful resistance, and was routed as Qin Ruo and the other Tier 5 champions' powerful assault!
Furthermore, it was now less than thirty minutes after the Demon Faction had climbed the northern ramparts!
”Him again?”
Compared to the excited members of Bauhinia and the Hall of Heroes, those affiliated to the Netherspirit's Claw felt complicated emotions.
Qin Ruo the Winter Demon!
”Well this is getting fun…”
Netherclaw mumbled over the southern ramparts; his mood gradually tangling.
It was only yesterday that Qin Ruo had killed his Field Commander in the Buried City and forced him to relieve Chameleon from his Field Commander duty. He even intended to find a chance to dampen the Aquamancer's stride in the Buried City after completing the second phase of his mission, but never could he have imagined that Qin Ruo fought equally against Death Jesus, before moving on to kill their number one enemy of the Demon Faction as everyone looked on.
Regardless of whether he achieved all that thanks to Violet Orchid's help, Qin Ruo's growth has progressed again, just as his abilities became more profound and vague amidst waves of rumors!
”…”
Most importantly, this battle could greatly increase Qin Ruo's positive image!
Before this, countless players were entertained and often commented on Qin Ruo's behavior towards the Netherspirit Claw in the official forums because there were not many factors to be considered. However, after this battle, every clan, league and faction struggle would view all developments in the Angel Faction with great importance to prevent a third siege by the Demon Faction!
Moreover, Qin Ruo's accomplishments here could leave Netherspirit Claw evidently guilty if they tried anything against him in the future, leaving other players with an impression of themselves being malicious bullies. Majestic Hero and Scarlet Bauhinia would certainly hold their silence anymore then—courting Qin Ruo, a potential Tier 5 Supreme Champion was absolutely worth the risk for them to leave Netherspirit Claw red-faced.
Still, he remembered the grudge between Dark Dragon and Qin Ruo.
Utterly emotional, Netherclaw sighed at the distant night sky.
”It's time to put an end to this.”
***
Compared to Netherclaw's dithering and Majestic Hero's rejoicing, Scarlet Bauhinia became more solemn and alert despite learning about the developments in the northern ramparts.
”Netherspirit, Hero. Time to focus, there might be a tough fight soon!”
”Yeah.” Majestic Hero thought so as well.
At the moment, the situation at the northern ramparts, the most threatened zone changed dramatically. Over fifty Tier 5 champions were now stationed there, with Qin Ruo and other Angelic Wings champions rapidly moving around supporting every zone of battle. Indeed, the northern zone was saved, and here comes the danger.
The Demon Faction would be clearly aware that the Angel Faction's reinforcements were gathering from towns nearby Moonrise City, and would approach from several different directions! Therefore, they would hold nothing back in the last half hour of assault they have here, delaying the ”one-hour login” until the very last second.
