Chapter 924 One-Man Army?

....

Everlasting City, Plot 059:

Plot 059 was situated several thousand meters above ground. At this time, 4,000 figures descended upon it and separated into 40 teams. Then, these teams spread across the land in all directions like a swarm of locusts, eliminating the other players on the land.

While Kings Paradises forces were seizing control of Plot 059, Lunar River arrived at the edge of Plot 059 with several dozen private guards. She showed no interest in the battle taking place in Plot 059. Instead, she quietly observed the situation of the other plots of land.

Vice Guild Leader, everything is going according to plan. None of the neighboring plots have teams from apex or royal powers. The teams of our allies have also arrived safely, so we will soon have a force of 10,000 players. As for Angels Retribution, which we excluded from our alliance, its forces suddenly took action against Zero Wing, Shuoyun reported.

Who is leading Angels Retributions forces? Lunar River asked.

According to our intelligence, Crocodile Fang is the commander, while Angels Retributions main force commander, Blacksteel, is acting as his vice commander, Shuoyun answered. Then, she continued worriedly, Angels Retribution has mobilized 2,000 players this time, while Zero Wing has only a little over 600. Zero Wing might not hold out against Angels Retribution.

That old fellow let his son lead over Blacksteel? Lunar River was slightly surprised.

The commander of every major powers main force had extraordinary status. They were either the Guilds First Vice Guild Leader or one of the Guilds Grand Elders.

Blacksteel was well-known in the Angel Sanctuary. Over half a century ago, he was already recognized as one of the Angel Sanctuarys top ten experts. Now, he was even considered one of Angels Retributions Six Overlords. Yet, Crocodile Fang was assigned to lead Angels Retributions forces in Everlasting Citys competition instead of Blacksteel. No matter how Lunar River looked at it, this situation was unbelievable.

Amidst her confusion, Lunar River received a communication request. The caller was none other than Angels Retributions Blacksteel.

Commander Blacksteel, are you perhaps calling me to reconsider allying with Angels Retribution? Lunar River asked nonchalantly, looking at the stalwart middle-aged man carrying a greatsword in the video chat.

Thats right. Although youve repeatedly refused our request for partnership before, I am confident you wont refuse us again this time, Blacksteel said, looking at Lunar River. I know you are trying to partner with Zero Wing to get ahold of the Tower of the Abyss. However, it seems that Zero Wings Guild Leader has been reluctant to agree to your partnership. So, I will create an opportunity for you. It is no longer a secret that Crocodile Fang has a grudge against Black Flame. Even if Angels Retribution takes action against Zero Wing in this competition, none of the other human powers will say anything.

Are you saying you will do me a favor? Lunar River asked, her expression remaining indifferent.

It will depend on your willingness to cooperate. Blacksteel chuckled. If you partner with us, we will naturally show Zero Wing mercy out of consideration that it will become one of our future partners. But if you refuse, we will show no mercy. At that time, even if you secure an Eternal World Magic Array, you wont be able to transfer it to Zero Wing.

You are very calculating, Commander Blacksteel, Lunar River said, chuckling. It was obvious Blacksteel had contacted her with the knowledge that Kings Paradises forces were currently occupied and couldnt assist Zero Wing. But arent you underestimating Zero Wing and me a little too much?

Underestimate you? Never, Blacksteel said, smiling. If you decide to take action personally, we will naturally be powerless to do anything against Zero Wing. But are you really willing to expose your strength at this critical moment?

Are you challenging me? Lunar Rivers gaze sharpened.

Five minutes! Blacksteel extended five fingers at Lunar River. You have five minutes to consider whether to expose your strength to save Zero Wing or reestablish Kings Paradises partnership with Angels Retribution. I will contact you again in five minutes.

Blacksteel hung up after saying so, his words causing the Kings Paradise members around Lunar River to become deathly silent.

Vice Guild Leader, should we take action? Shuoyun asked.

The competition has just started. Its still too soon for us to make a move, Lunar River said. Then, she commanded Shuoyun and the rest of her private guards, You all make a trip down below. I dont need you to save the others. You only need to rescue Black Flame. Make sure not to move within 100 yards of Blacksteel. None of you are a match for him yet. You wont be able to escape if you get within 100 yards of him.

Understood!

Shuoyun and Lunar Rivers other private guards bowed and left.

On the other side, Angels Retributions 2,000-man legion arrived within a thousand yards of Zero Wings team.

Uncle Blacksteel, how did it go? Crocodile Fang asked nervously, looking at the stalwart middle-aged man beside him. Did she agree?

In reality, Crocodile Fang was only a puppet commander; Blacksteel was the legions true commander. Crocodile Fang was assigned to command Angels Retributions forces this time to make up for his mistake. If he couldnt complete his assignment of reestablishing the partnership with Kings Paradise, his good days would end.

Three minutes! Blacksteel did not respond to Crocodile Fangs question. Instead, he looked at the 100 experts standing respectfully behind him. Every one of these 100 experts was equipped with multiple Fragmented Divine Artifacts and exuded a dangerous aura. Lunar Rivers people should arrive about three minutes later, so I want you all to eliminate everyone except Zero Wings Guild Leader in three minutes!

Yes, Commander!

The 100 experts responded confidently in unison, as if killing Zero Wings 600-plus experts in three minutes was a trivial matter. They immediately charged Zero Wings forces, their speed so fast that even Tier 6 experts could only catch a glimpse of their afterimages. If one observed them carefully, one would notice that they were all executing Gold-ranked Footwork.

Is this the main forces strength? Crocodile Fang was astonished by the speed of these experts.

This was the first time Crocodile Fang had seen Angels Retributions main force in action. Blacksteel had always been responsible for managing and training Angels Retributions main force. As a result, besides Angels Retributions Guild Leader, everyone else in the Guild was in the dark about the strength of Angels Retributions main force members. However, after seeing them in action, Crocodile Fang finally understood why it was mentioned that these main force members were 90% of the reason Angels Retribution dared to participate in Everlasting Citys competition.

When Angels Retributions main force members went into action, over at Zero Wings resting area

Guild Leader Black Flame, do you need our intervention? Purgatory Jade asked, looking at the 100 players closing in on them.

Based on her observation, Angels Retributions 100 experts were all very strong. Although their combat standards were inferior to the chosen ones under her tutelage, their equipment standards were much better. They werent opponents that Zero Wings members, most of whom hadnt even reached Level 220, could handle.

No need. Shi Feng shook his head. Then, he looked at Phoenix Rain and said, Rain, Ill leave them to you.

Me? Can I? Phoenix Rain asked, surprised that Shi Feng would let her take action.

Mhm. It would be the easiest for you to deal with this situation, Shi Feng said, nodding. But dont go all out. Itd be bad if we caused too much of a commotion.

Okay, Ill try my best, Phoenix Rain sighed and stepped forward.

When Phoenix Rain stepped forward by herself, the advancing main force members and the spectating members of Angels Retribution were stunned. They had never expected Zero Wing to send only one person to fight them.

Is Zero Wing taking us for the Eternal Realms little fellows?!

Angels Retributions main force members laughed when they saw Phoenix Rain raising her staff and chanting. At the same time, a cold glint flashed in their eyes. After going unmatched in the Angel Sanctuary for so long, they hadnt expected to be underestimated by a small Guild in the Eternal Realm.

When Angels Retributions main force members got within 100 yards of Phoenix Rain, she finally finished chanting and gestured toward Angels Retributions forces with her free hand.
