“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
More than ten thousand Steel-armored Tanks appeared and fierce fire flew everywhere. Although the tanks’ cannons could not injure the players directly, the debris and dust kicked up by the ceaseless fire acted as the perfect smokescreen to obscure the enemy’s vision.
The Steel-armored Tanks moved bumper to bumper, one after the other, completely plugging up all the roads toward the Celestial Capital.
Li Yi could not be certain if Ice Goddess’ Sigh would work either, which was why he arranged for the tanks to make an appearance, just in case.
“Swoosh! Swoosh!”
“Boom! Boom!”
The Invincible Continent players hid behind the Steel-armored Tanks, launching their ranged attacks. Since the tanks were so large that they could not even see their opponents, they were simply shooting in the dark right now, randomly throwing attacks at anything and everything.
The Invincible Continent players were just tossing out everything they had, but the Assembled Gods Continent players had the same idea. After all, they could immediately resurrect on the spot if they died, so after they stood their ground and attacked as they pleased for a while, the Invincible Continent players’ offensive began to weaken.
The Invincible Continent players lost a bit of manpower every time someone died, whereas the Assembled Gods Continent players were completely unaffected. Once it became a battle of attrition, their differences became evident.
The Divine Protection Spell was undeniably powerful, overwhelmingly so.
Using the Steel-armored Tanks to stall the Assembled Gods Continent players worked like a charm at first, but it did not last long either. Little over half an hour later, Amber Sword Heart sent a team of Engineers out to Dismantle all the tanks.
Players who had learned Engineering could choose to Dismantle such engineered items.
The third defense line Li Yi prepared for the Assembled Gods Continent players consisted of several tens of thousands of Engineered Mines. They were not particularly well made, most of them being failed or shoddy products made by Apprentice or Novice Master Engineers. Many of the mines had not even been triggered but exploded anyway, the explosions booming loudly and majestically.
With the Divine Protection Spell still in effect, Amber Sword Heart advanced into the minefield without hesitation.
These Engineered Mines were trial products, so they were not especially powerful to begin with. If a main tank stepped on one of them, the explosion would not even take 100 HP from them. Their biggest effect was probably still the thick smoke they produced, which limited the enemy’s visibility to almost nothing.
To Li Yi’s side, anything they could do to stall the enemy was better than nothing. If they could just hold their opponents back until the Divine Protection Spell ended, it would be their victory.
By the time Amber Sword Heart led his troops through the minefield, what awaited them was a regrouped team of the Invincible Continent’s elites
“The Assembled Gods Continent’s Celestial Capital is under attack, and many buildings have been destroyed. All citizens, please return to the Capital and provide support!”
“The Assembled Gods Continent’s Celestial Capital is under attack, and many buildings have been destroyed. All citizens, please return to the Capital and provide support!”
“The Assembled Gods Continent’s Celestial Capital is under attack, and many buildings have been destroyed. All citizens, please return to the Capital and provide support!”
Just as Amber Sword Heart led his men into a brawl with the Invincible Continent’s elites, a blinking red notification appeared on the World Channel, throwing a wrench into their morale.
The Assembled Gods Continent’s Celestial Capital had been secretly attacked!
“Who’s behind this? What happened?”
“Aaaah, I thought it said the Invincible Continent’s Celestial Capital! What the heck? What’s going on?”
The Assembled Gods Continent players grew restless.
No one had expected that the enemy would turn around and launch a sneak attack on their home base, now of all times.
When he saw the system notification, the first thing Amber Sword Heart did was message Drifting Snow.
“Aren’t you guarding the Celestial Capital? What happened?”
“It’s Dark Wing, that b*stard ran all the way to our Celestial Capital by himself. He’s already destroyed a dozen buildings!” Drifting Snow’s furious voice came across the communicator.
Amber Sword Heart was stunned. “Dark Wing?”
In the Central Plaza of The Assembled Gods Continent’s Celestial Capital.
Drifting Snow lay on the floor in despair and humiliation. Looking at the billions of lightning bolts flashing everywhere, he did not even have the courage to resurrect on the spot anymore.
He had the Divine Protection Spell on him too, so he could resurrect on the spot whenever and wherever he liked. However, what was the point when he was surrounded by billions of lightning bolts crashing down around him? He would just be electrocuted to death as soon as he got up.
The lightning rained down from the sky all at once, enveloping the entire Assembled Gods Continent’s Celestial Capital in an electric storm.
Li Yi had the Emperor’s Sword, so he could fly to any part of the Pantheon Continent as he pleased. In the past, he could only travel freely around his own country, but with the Emperor’s Sword, he could instantly fly to the enemy camp’s major cities.
The million bolts of divine lightning descending on the Assembled Gods Continent’s Celestial Capital was none other than his handiwork.
After all, when they went to Heart of Earth Element, Li Yi and Jiaojiao had obtained an extremely rare Thunder God Summoning Scroll. Now, he could finally put it to good use.
A figure of the Ancient Thunder God, a hundred meters tall and made completely of lightning, waved its hands about, bringing down waves of divine lightning to destroy the Celestial Capital……
Faced with the Ancient Thunder God’s attacks, the buildings in the Assembled Gods Continent’s Celestial Capital quickly tumbled to the ground. Many players noticed the commotion and came to help, but all of them died at the teleportation point.
There was no way they could withstand the divine lightning of the Ancient Thunder God. One hit was enough to take their measly lives.
The Ancient Thunder God used merely twenty minutes to destroy the entire Celestial Capital as well as more than three million players who came in as reinforcements……
Just a single scroll made the Assembled Gods Continent suffer astronomical losses!
The destruction of the Celestial Capital meant that their nation’s systems had collapsed, all of the major cities’ teleportation doors were disabled, the NPC shops’ tax rates skyrocketed to 500%, and the taxation for all items sold in the Auction House rose by 20 times!
When selling a piece of equipment worth 50 Gold Coins, they only used to pay 1 Gold Coin in taxes. Now, that number had risen to 20 Gold Coins……
The Celestial Capital’s buildings had been destroyed, and the enemy had been exterminated. The Ancient Thunder God lost its target and stared at the sky blankly for a long time before its huge body finally disappeared slowly.
Li Yi teleported back to the Invincible Continent’s Celestial Capital, just in time to see the Invincible Continent players duking it out with Amber Sword Heart’s doomed army.
Five of the buildings in the Celestial Capital had been destroyed, and all of the stalling mechanisms Li Yi had left behind had outlived their purposes. The only thing they could do now was defend the buildings with their lives and stop the Assembled Gods Continent’s Army in their tracks, no matter the cost.
Li Yi’s stalling techniques had worked, and the Divine Protection Spell would run out in a mere dozen minutes. Even if the Invincible Continent players sat back and let Amber Sword Heart’s army wreak havoc as they pleased now, the enemy would not be able to destroy too many buildings.
The victor had been decided!
“Territory Release!”
Having rested enough, Li Yi could use his Territory again. When his Territory light barrier engulfed the scene, the scales of the battlefield tipped overwhelmingly to his side.
The dozen minutes passed in an instant, and when the effect of the Divine Protection Spell vanished from the Assembled Gods Continent players, the Invincible Continent players who had been holding it in finally unleashed all their frustrations on the enemy.
Countless attacks barraged the Assembled Gods Continent players from all directions, and the army of millions only lasted for a few minutes before they were completely wiped out.
“Ding ding ding ding!”
Equipment littered the floor everywhere.
Pretty Good Mood was resurrected and he crawled up from the floor, immediately swearing, “Dark Paladins and Vagabonds, to me! Let’s revive these f*ckers and kill them again!”
Dark Paladins and Vagabonds had a skill called Battle Resurrect, which allowed them to resurrect anyone, friend or foe.
They were going to revive the bodies and kill them again, forcing them to drop their equipment!……
