Along with the start of the city battleâs first round, the actions of the two citiesâ battle groups were put on display for the inhabitants of both cities.
âDid Riverlightâs participants go crazy? Theyâre sending five ace battle groups to occupy one capture point? Arenât they thinking too highly of Zero Wing?â
âI knew it! I knew that five-man battle group wouldnât be reliable! Now, all that group has done is become easy pickings for Riverlight City!â
!!
âI know, right? Even though the group called in five more people as reinforcements, theyâll only add up to ten people. They wonât even last a minute against Riverlightâs five ace battle groups. Just what the heck was Commander Red Frost thinking to make such an irresponsible person a vice commander? Sheâs doomed us all now.â
When Star Lake Cityâs inhabitants saw Riverlight Cityâs five ace battle groups encroaching on the capture point occupied by Zero Wingâs battle group, their hearts burned with anxiety.
âŠ
âWhat should we do now, Vice Commander? None of the other battle groups are sending people over. With our battle group alone, thereâs no way we can save Zero Wingâs members,â an Assassin anxiously asked Markless Blade as he watched 100 experts from Riverlight City close in on the capture point occupied by Zero Wingâs battle group. âMy suggestion is that we run away while we still can.â
Hearing his subordinateâs suggestion, Markless Blade hesitated as he looked at Riverlight Cityâs five ace battle groups.
In reality, there wasnât much of a difference in strength between Riverlight Cityâs and Star Lake Cityâs ace battle groups. So, even if a supposedly stronger ace battle group fought against a weaker ace battle group, the fight would usually drag out until reinforcements arrived.
However, it was a different story if two ace battle groups ganged up on one ace battle group. In that situation, the side with the numerical disadvantage would be fortunate if a few of its members could get away safely. And if five ace battle groups ganged up on one ace battle group, it would truly be a situation where even escaping would be impossible.
Yet, if Markless Blade chose not to help Zero Wingâs battle group, it would mean that Star Lake City would lose one battle group right off the bat. This would make things much more difficult for Star Lake City to go up against Riverlight City afterward. After all, even if Shi Fengâs battle group only had ten members, it was still better than nothing. Not to mention, Shi Feng performed outstandingly during the enrollment test.
âQuickly make a decision, Vice Commander!â the Assassin urged when he saw Riverlight Cityâs battle groups moving closer and closer to Zero Wingâs capture point.
âŠ
While Markless Blade was in a dilemma, two women were quietly observing the actions of Riverlight Cityâs five ace battle groups from a nearby building.
âShould we act now, Big Sis Omen?â Thousand Scars asked, eager to flex her muscles when she saw Riverlight Cityâs battle groups.
âOkay, get ready to move,â Death Omen said, nodding. If they kept on dragging their feet, Zero Wingâs battle group would get annihilated before they could do anything.
Subsequently, Death Omen and Thousand Scars entered Stealth and made their way to Zero Wingâs capture point. On their way there, they would work together to kill any Riverlight City experts they came across.
âŠ
As Riverlight Cityâs experts fell one after another, Chen Qilinâs complexion also turned gloomier and gloomier.
âHave those two lost their minds? Donât they belong to Paimon? Why are they helping Zero Wing?â Slowfire said, puzzled by Death Omenâs and Thousand Scarsâ actions.
Logically, Death Omen and Thousand Scars, as members of the Paimon Conglomerate, should know about the enmity between their organization and Zero Wing. Yet, the two Assassins were helping Zero Wing for some inexplicable reason.
Moreover, Death Omen and Thousand Scars were both unbelievably well-equipped. Both wielded a Legendary Weapon and wore a Fragmented Legendary Equipment Set. If those two worked together, Slowfire suspected that even she would get killed if she werenât careful.
âThey are nothing more than outer members of Paimon,â Chen Qilin contemptuously said. âThey probably donât even know that Lord Reckless Knight is personally taking action this time. Weâll see how they fare once they meet him.â
Reckless Knight was the Paimon Conglomerateâs Second Paragon and one of the likely successors to the Three Overlords. His name was known by all in the Starlight Realm. Although few people knew Reckless Knightâs appearance, they would immediately realize that they were going up against Reckless Knight once they started fighting him.
âŠ
While Chen Qilin and Slowfire were talking, a person suddenly appeared within Zero Wingâs capture point.
Along with this personâs arrival, the spectators of both cities became incredibly silent. Some even started to have difficulty breathing.
âMental deterrence! This is mental deterrence!â
âWhat a powerful mental deterrence! HeâsâŠa pseudo-great grandmaster!â
âWhy would a pseudo-great grandmaster appear in a third-tier city battle?â
The spectators of both cities were shaken as they looked at the holographic projection in the sky.
Pseudo-great grandmasters were existences above three-star mental strength grandmasters, and the chances of a three-star grandmaster becoming a pseudo-great grandmaster were less than 1 in 100. Pseudo-great grandmasters were already qualified to compete for a second-tier cityâs City Lord position, and they would usually only participate in first-tier city battles. Almost never would such existences participate in a second-tier city battle, so for one to appear in a third-tier city battle between Star Lake City and Riverlight City was simply unbelievable.
âŠ
âA pseudo-great grandmaster? How are we supposed to fight against that?â
At this time, the Assassin standing next to Markless Blade was horrified as he looked at Reckless Knight, the person who had appeared at Zero Wingâs capture point.
A pseudo-great grandmaster could not only manifest a complete set of Legendary Weapons and Equipment, but they could also unleash a mental deterrence on their opponents. While this mental deterrence might not be as powerful as a Tier 6 playerâs mental deterrence in Godâs Domain, it could achieve extraordinary effects in simulation warfare since players in simulation warfare lacked powerful Physiques.
On top of that, a pseudo-great grandmaster could also execute Absolute Techniques that the average grandmaster couldnât in simulation warfare.
With these three points, a pseudo-great grandmaster was nigh invincible when going up against mental strength grandmasters or below in simulation warfare.
âŠ
Before everyone could recover from their astonishment, Reckless Knight cast his gaze on Shi Feng and asked, âAre you Shi Feng?â
âI am.â Shi Feng nodded.
âGood!â Reckless Knight smiled. âYour life is mine!â
After saying so, Reckless Knight vanished into thin air, stunning all spectators. After all, Reckless Knight was supposed to be a Guardian Knight that didnât have any stealth-related Skills. Yet, he had disappeared from everyoneâs sight like an Assassin entering Stealth.
Less than half a second later, an explosion occurred twenty yards in front of Shi Feng.
When the dust clouds created by the explosion dissipated, two peopleâa man and a womanâcould be seen standing at the explosionâs epicenter. Of the two, the man was Reckless Knight, while the woman was the innocent and lovely woman from Zero Wingâs battle group. After looking at the woman again, everyone couldnât help but gasp.
âA pse-pseudo great grandmaster!â
âSheâs a pseudo-great grandmaster as well?!â
