Chapter 335 – Breaking into the City (1/2)

Bai Xiaosheng’s group only had several dozen players, while the opponent had five hundred. The latter thought this to be a sure win, so they weren’t in a hurry and only looked on coldly.

Bai Xiaosheng helplessly shrugged and the players around him laughed mockingly. These fools think they can stop us with numbers?

Whoosh! Fatty was the first to attack. The Violent Ox King appeared from thin air and turned a dozen players into burning figures. Fatty flung himself upon the mount, which then let out a loud cry and charged forth.

“Great pet!” The others’ eyes instantly shone before they followed behind him while releasing attacks left and right.

“Damn it! Isn’t it a mount? How can it attack?!” The opposing party was caught off guard. Many of their members were quickly killed and they let Bai Xiaosheng’s group break out from their encirclement.

“You dare rob my stuff?! I’m gonna offer you all to the God of Darkness!” shouted Bai Xiaosheng.

Upon regaining their wits, the opponent party scrambled after them and attacked. Bai Xiaosheng rode his Five-colored Deer at the very front, turning left and right and led them into strange terrain.

This was a patch of land with nothing but withered plants, broken branches, and silence. After Bai Xiaosheng led this group here, he no longer rushed. When the opposing party caught up, a clamor came from all directions, introducing the emergence of a bunch of players.

The bunch had roughly 2000 players, pure rogues. Upon appearing, they quietly chose a target and in a flash, the pursuers fell one after another, turning into white lights that flew off to the Death Altar.

“Incredible, Uncle. You prepared for everything,” Fatty praised.

“Heh, without preparation, how would I have the confidence to invite those little ingrates to help?” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled.

The All-Knowing Sect was a guild that operated on exchanging intel, and most of the members were rogues. The 2000-odd rogues here were equipped fully with at least gold and Violet gear, so it was clear they were the main force of the guild.

Meanwhile, the siege was getting heated. The wall was riddled with openings here and there, and a portion of players had entered the city. However, their losses were nothing to be ignored. In just a short two hours, half of the players had kicked the bucket.

“What? Bai Xiaosheng had people waiting in ambush here? That old man is really nothing good. Leave him for now, focus on seizing the city first.”

The current problem was not Bai Xiaosheng, but how the Demon soldiers inside the city wouldn’t let them safely retreat unless they gave up combat and teleported back to the city.

A large number of players died, but even more fearless ones were rushing in from outside with each passing minute to fill up the gap. Gradually, they wiped out the Demon soldiers near a wall and occupied that side.

“Alright, our turn!”

Bai Xiaosheng had arranged in advance for over 20,000 players to lie in wait around Hero City. It was curious where they got so much Reputation to teleport to the Imperial Capital. Moreover, they were so careful that the Demon soldiers hadn’t discovered them at all and even drew a magic formation not far away from one of the gates to the city.

As the players’ momentum became more and more intense, the Demon army inside the city had to send reinforcements to defend the most breached wall and as a consequence, the number of soldiers defending the three other walls was at its lowest. Bai Xiaosheng sneakily led his team over and hid close to the opposite wall of the most breached wall.

“Attention! Force a way through at all costs! As long as we enter the City Lord Manor, victory is ours!” Bai Xiaosheng solemnly stressed. “Mages, control the magic formation, attack!”

A rogue had quickly swept clean an area of dry grass, revealing the magic formation hidden under, then inserted magic stones in it. Per Bai Xiaosheng’s order, the mages stood up and chanted in unison.

The magic formation flashed and energy poured out from the magic stones to fuel the formation.

And then, dull rumbling noises echoed. First, they were only as loud as firecrackers popping, then they grew to that of battle drums, and in the end like endless thunderclaps that made the earth tremble along.

“What’s going on?!”

The Demon soldiers on the walls looked around and instantly spotted the flashing magic formation.

“Not good! Someone’s attacking the city!”

The thunderous rumbles were ceaseless. Upon accumulating energy to a certain point, the magic formation finally displayed its might. The earth split apart and the fissures speedily ran towards the gate.

A crack several dozen meters wide and seemingly bottomless suddenly emerged at the base of the wall. Under the frightened eyes of the Demon soldiers, it reached the gate.

The wall was protected by an array set up by earth mages in order to prevent its base from being destroyed. However, this magic formation was obviously not a normal one. It was so powerful that the defensive array only flickered a little before it broke, letting the huge crack collide into the gate.

Craaack! Rumble! The entire gate, as well as two long wall patches on its sides, collapsed. Many players of the All-Knowing Sect lying in ambush around them were nearly buried and frantically emerged from Stealth.

“Kill!” Disregarding the danger, a portion of players took this chance when there was temporarily no soldiers to charge through the collapsed wall.
