Chapter 717 - The Appetizer, a Plate of Freshly Baked Forbidden Spells! (2/2)

Still unbeknownst to Jiang Fei, players of the Light Faction had gathered and had already started to hunt for the convoy. The reinforcements from the Shadow Faction were still gathering.

Half an hour later, Jiang Fei, who was flying in the sky had finally noticed something.

A white pillar of light that was as wide as the Empire State Building flashed somewhere far away. After the white pillar of light dissipated, an army of 40,000 soldiers emerged.

"Stop the convoy! Enemies incoming!" cried Jiang Fei from the top of his lungs.

"Stop the wagons!" cried Seven Star Warriors and Billy Boy at the same time. The entire group of 50,000 players of Empyreal Dragon started to fan out and form a circular defensive formation.

Jiang Fei flew in closer to examine his enemies and found that they were NPC soldiers, not players. It seemed that they had just encountered the first wave of enemies.

"I'll try my best to hold them back. Little Rain, standby and get ready to cast your Forbidden Spell!" said Jiang Fei before speeding off into the clouds.

Billy Boy acknowledged Jiang Fei's order and immediately got into action.

"Boys! It's time to protect the fireworks! Little Rain, do your thing! Tanks, square formation around the fireworks!" cried Billy Boy.

Almost immediately, eight tank class player emerged from the group and formed a 3x3 formation with Little Rain at the center.

As the 40,000 NPC soldiers got closer and closer, Jiang Fei landed his dragon somewhere close to them and immediately dismissed it. He pulled up his bow and started to attack. Like a machine gun, Jiang Fei's insane attack speed had sent many arrows out into the sky in a few seconds. Like a shower of arrows, each of Jiang Fei arrows had enough attack power to kill one soldier each.

The problem was with the number of enemies. Even though Jiang Fei's killing speed was insanely fast, Jiang Fei was only able to kill eight soldiers per second. It would take him quite some time to clean out 40,000 soldiers!

Even though he was able to kill less than 500 soldiers in a minute, it would take him more than one hour to kill all 40,000 enemies.

At this point, Jiang Fei summoned the Skygliding Dragon again to help him block a few enemies from advancing. Coupled with the fallen bodies, the army's movement speed was slightly slowed down.

Five minutes into the battle, Jiang Fei was only able to kill over 2,500 soldiers. Although the numbers were insane, it was only a tiny chisel to the entire army's prowess in numbers.

"Big boss! Time to get away!" cried Little Rain as he warned Jiang Fei of his incoming Forbidden Spell.

Apocalyptic Scorch!

A small fireball was released from Little Rain's magic staff toward the center of the army. The fireball then made it into the ground where it exploded with a bang. Flame came out spewing from beneath the earth, destroying the NPC soldiers.

As Little Rain leveled up, he continued to farm more equipment that could boost his Forbidden Spell. One of the stronger equipment he had was the ring that Jiang Fei had given to him, the Ring of Decimation. Together with other equipment that he had farmed on his own, he had managed to increase his Forbidden Spell's damage output, casting range, and Area of Effect range. Compared to when he had first used the spell, Little Rain's current Apocalyptic Scorch was at least five to six times more potent!
