Chapter 1435 â Slaughter
âWhy is the Shadow Dragon Legion retreating?â
âLook! The Shadow Dragon Legion is missing a lot of members!â
âWhat?! The Shadow Dragon Legion actually lost to Zero Wing!?â
Crimson Castleâs members were stupefied as they watched the fleeing Shadow Dragon Legion. After all was said and done, the Shadow Dragon Legion was one of the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilionâs trump card legions. Although it only had 1,000 members, even a 10,000-man army from a first-rate Guild would be powerless against the legion. Particularly in narrow terrains such as this, a 1,000-man legion could exert its strength to its full potential.
Yet, Zero Wingâs 1,000-plus army had defeated this legionâŠ
âGuild Leader, the Shadow Dragon Legion has retreated. What should we do?â An indescribable sense of shock gripped Lonely Castleâs heart.
âUseless garbage! Didnât they tell us to leave everything to them?!â Crimson Fox ground his teeth as he glared at the distant Shadow Dragon Legion. âSince we canât rely on the Shadow Dragon Legion, weâll deal with this problem ourselves! I refuse to believe that Zero Wing can take on an army of 10,000 elites!â
There were always rumors in the virtual gaming world about superpowersâ trump card legions of 1,000 men slaughtering 10,000-men armies from first-rate Guilds. But they were just that, rumors. When it really came down to a fight, the victor was never guaranteed until the end.
âAdvance! Surround the hill! Do not let a single Zero Wing player leave this place alive!â Crimson Fox commanded.
Immediately, all 15,000-plus Crimson Castle elites surged towards Zero Wingâs hill.
However, when Crimson Castleâs army was only 1,000 yards away from the hill, two beams of light descended from above.
Before these players could react, the black-and-white beams slammed into Crimson Castleâs army. Following which, two pillars of light rose into the sky. Even Green Rain Townâs players could see the spectacle.
When the two light pillars faded, they revealed two large, empty clearings in the middle of the army.
Despite the fact that Crimson Castleâs members had spread out, the two attacks had claimed over 6,000 livesâŠ
Although these two shots had cost Shi Feng 4,000 Magic Crystals, he considered the exchange worthwhile since he had killed so many players.
âZeroâŠWing!â Crimson Foxâs eyes turned bloodshot when he realized how many of his Guild members had vanished.
However, although Crimson Fox was furious, his companions didnât share the same sentiment. Rather than rage, fear flashed in these playersâ eyes.
With just two shots, Zero Wing had annihilated one-third of their forces. If Zero Wing fired the cannons a few more times, their army would be devastated.
Elsewhere, when the Shadow Dragon Legion saw the fading light pillars, they were relieved to escape the attacks.
If not for their commander ordering the retreat when he had, the Intermediate Mana Pulse Cannons wouldâve claimed their lives.
They finally understood how pointless it was for a Guild to focus on quantity over quality. Collecting war weapons was far more important.
âCommander, are we really abandoning Green Rain Town?â a Shadow Dragon Legion member asked Shadowtooth.
Nine Dragons Emperor had personally tasked them with Green Rain Townâs protection. If they packed up and left now, they would most likely have to face the manâs wrath.
âWhat else are we supposed to do? Fight them?â Angrily, Shadowtooth snapped, âThe only person to blame here is that fool, Crimson Fox! If he hadnât resorted to petty tricks to stop Zero Wing from capturing Hidden Fog Town, Zero Wing wouldnât have decided to make an example of Crimson Castle. Zero Wing isnât what it was in the past. Notify the other Guilds under our control; tell them that unless they have a way to deal with those cannons, they should keep their heads down.â
He hadnât wanted to interfere with the arrangement between Zero Wing and Crimson Castle in the first place, but since the Guild had come knocking on Green Rain Townâs door, it had forced his hand. In the end, not only had he failed to stop Zero Wing, but he also lost over 300 Shadow Dragon Legion members in a few minutes. It had been a heavy blow to the legion.
âWhat are you all afraid of?! These kinds of attacks have a long Cooldown! Zero Wing only has 1,000 players. If we finish them off quickly enough, they wonât have a chance to fire those cannons again!â Crimson Fox bellowed.
Although the Intermediate Mana Pulse Cannons were powerful, he had a rough estimate of their Cooldown. Four minutes and thirty seconds had passed between the first attack and the second. In other words, the Intermediate Mana Pulse Cannonsâ Cooldown should be four to five minutes long. This was more than enough time for a 10,000-man army to wipe out 1,000 players.
Crimson Foxâs reasoning shook his players from their frightened daze. Reclaiming their confidence, they dashed for the hillside paths.
âGuild Leader, theyâre advancing again,â Negative Life reported through the team chat.
âGood. Everyone, maintain your positions! Hold the enemy off for as long as possible!â Crimson Foxâs determination didnât particularly surprise Shi Feng. The man had no more paths of retreat. If he let Zero Wing attack unhindered, heâd lose Green Rain Town and his army. The Guild Leader had to fight.
However, climbing the hill wasnât so simple. Zero Wingâs main force and Dark Gods Legion members were stationed around the hillside paths. With the terrain, they had the advantage. As for trading the established paths for the steep slopes, doing so was suicide.
This was also Zero Wingâs main reason for choosing this hill. Otherwise, he wouldâve chosen a farther location. After all, the Intermediate Mana Pulse Cannons had a maximum range of 20,000 yards.
With Aqua Rose and the others guarding the four available hillside paths, the hill was like an impenetrable fortress.
The path Zhao Yueruâs team guarded was especially atrocious. With MTs at the forefront, Zhao Yueru could attack freely. Even when Crimson Castleâs MTs activated their Lifesaving Skills, receiving all sorts of damage absorption buffs, the Flame Witchâs powerful fire-type Spells killed them instantly, giving Crimson Castleâs healers no time to help their companions. With each volley, Zhao Yueru claimed two or three dozen lives.
All Crimson Castleâs members could do at this point was trade blow for blow.
However, both Zero Wingâs main force and the Dark Gods Legion had consumed Sea Godâs Blessings, increasing all of their Resistances by 100 points. With their inherent Defense and Magic Resistance, they didnât even lose more than 4,000 HP from a direct hit. Furthermore, the MTs blocked the majority of the incoming attacks with their shields. The blocked attacks were lucky to deal over -100 damage to Zero Wingâs MTs.

Meanwhile, Gentle Snow fought like a literal war goddess as she faced Crimson Castleâs members. After receiving a Truth Shield from one of the Clerics in the rear, she dashed into the group of MTs on her path and started a massacre. With Whirlwind Slash, she sent over a dozen MTs flying. Although Crimson Castleâs ranged players tried to bombard the Snow Goddess, she dodged the majority of their attacks. Even if she failed to dodge an attack, none of them dealt more than -2,000 damage thanks to her Seven Luminaries Battle Army and the Sea Godâs Blessing. After activating Seven Luminaries Domain, she was even more of a juggernaut.
Aqua Roseâs path was a simpler scene. The twelve water snakes she summoned with Aqua Precinct were practically invincible. No matter how many Crimson Castle members came at her, she sent them all flying. Her Mana was the only problem, but the Guildâs Oracles and Druids easily solved the problem, supporting Aqua Rose by replenishing her Mana. Including the Advanced Mana Recovery Potions, she should have no problems maintaining Aqua Precinct until the Intermediate Mana Pulse Cannonsâ Cooldown completed.
Time passed very quickly. After a few minutes, Crimson Castle had lost nearly 3,000 members, with 80% of the armyâs MTs dead. With most of its meat shields gone, Crimson Castle had to rely on their melee players to break Zero Wingâs blockades. In contrast, Zero Wing had only suffered around 20 casualties thus far.
âItâs about time we give Crimson Castle a taste of Zero Wingâs true power.â When Shi Feng saw more reinforcements from Crimson Castle coming from Green Rain Town, he retrieved the Bible of Darkness and a large number of Miniature Ballistas.
