Chapter 1 The Siege

Silverwing Town, main gate city wall.

The city wall, over ten meters tall, was now surrounded by players who had come to fight against the Saint's Hand army. However, as these players arrived on the city wall one by one, they were all deeply shocked by the sight before them.

The Saint's Hand monsters were a black mass, seemingly without end. The weakest of them were 110-level Great Lords, while the stronger ones reached level 122. The endless Saint's Hand monsters slowly surrounded Silverwing Town, as if darkness had descended upon the earth, plunging people into deep fear...

"So many Legendary Saint's Hand monsters, can we really hold them back?"

The members of the various adventurer teams and the free players who came to help felt panic and despair at the sight before them.

Originally, relying on the more than 300,000 players left behind in Silverwing Town and the town's defensive magic array, they felt there was still a chance to fight, as long as they could find a way to hold back the 50,000 to 60,000 high-level Great Lord Saint's Hand Destroyers.

But now, the number of Saint's Hand Destroyers that had arrived not only exceeded 100,000, but there were even eight Legendary Saint's Hand Devourers. Everyone's confidence was completely shattered.

At this moment, not only the members of the various adventurer teams and free players present, but even Undying Battle Heart and Silent Chant and the others on the city wall had their eyes twitching.

"More than 100,000 Saint's Hand Destroyers, eight Saint's Hand Devourers, these Saint's Hand monsters really think highly of us." Undying Battle Heart, who had reached level 116, looked at the eight huge figures surrounding Silverwing Town and couldn't help but force a smile.

This time, War Soul's Undefeated had sent the guild's ace legion to assist Zero Wing, and even mobilized two Tier 4 Summon Scrolls and hundreds of heavy ballista carriages.

In their estimation, adding in Crimson Emperor and Zero Wing's foundations, defending Silverwing Town should not be a problem.

But he still underestimated the power of these Saint's Hand monsters. At this moment, not to mention the eight Saint's Hand Devourers, just the more than 100,000 Saint's Hand Destroyers were enough to make people despair.

After all, against those high-level Great Lord Saint's Hand Destroyers, ordinary Tier 3 experts were simply not enough. It took several people working together, plus siege weapons, to contain those Saint's Hand Destroyers and prevent them from attacking the defensive magic array and the city wall.

And the summoned Tier 4 Legendary monsters couldn't do anything against tens of thousands of Saint's Hand Destroyers. Their only use was to guard a part of the city wall from attack, reducing the defensive pressure on the players.

Now that the Saint's Hand Devourers had appeared, even the possibility of reducing pressure was gone...

Silent Chant, who was beside him, also nodded, a complex look in her eyes.

"It seems we can only hold out as long as possible..." Silent Chant looked at the Saint's Hand Devourers who were quietly standing a thousand yards away, motionless, commanding the other Saint's Hand monsters, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Although she had some confidence in Shi Feng, she was afraid that even Shi Feng had not anticipated such a scene. Not to mention Shi Feng, even the various super forces had not anticipated that the Saint's Hand monsters would develop so terrifyingly fast.

How long had it been since Crimson Emperor had learned of the birth of the Legendary Saint's Hand monster? At most, a day had passed, and now eight Saint's Hand Devourers had appeared.

Even if they could resist these Saint's Hand monsters for a day, they were afraid they would definitely not be able to resist the next day.

Just when everyone was sighing and feeling powerless, a golden pillar of light suddenly rose from the forest in the distance of Silverwing Town. This pillar of light shot straight into the sky, and even thousands of yards away, it could be seen very clearly.

With the appearance of this golden pillar of light, the entire sky completely turned into daylight. As the dim sky turned into daylight, the magic power of the entire world seemed to have been sucked away by something. The magic power became increasingly thin, and even players who were not very sensitive to magic power could clearly feel some discomfort.

"This is... Soul Extinguishing Hex!" Silent Chant looked at the pillar of magical power rising in the distance of the sky, her face becoming unprecedentedly solemn. "The Saint's Hand are crazy, using this boundary-locking forbidden curse!"

Soul Extinguishing Hex was a super rare boundary-locking magic array in God's Domain. It required the eternal sacrifice of thousands of level 100 Tier 2 magic-based players and hundreds of Tier 3 magic-based players to activate. So no super force dared to use this boundary-locking magic array.

The reason was simple. This magic array could indeed lock down a boundary, causing magic power to collapse, making it impossible for players to leave the area. Not only would they suffer severe death penalties if they died, but their souls would also be weakened for fifteen days. But the consequences for the players who used this magic array were also very serious.

Permanent death!

It was equivalent to the permanent disappearance of the created character, and players could only create a new account.

However, before the people in Silverwing Town could react, a huge magic water mirror suddenly appeared in the sky above Silverwing Town. The magic water mirror showed the Saint's Hand who were casting the spell, and the leader was none other than Thousand Eyes, who had recently been killed by Shi Feng.

"Black Flame, didn't expect this, did you?" Thousand Eyes sneered in the picture. "I said you would regret it. Aren't you very powerful? Now you can just watch as everyone in Silverwing Town is swallowed up by the Saint's Hand army, and Zero Wing will be removed from the game!"

Thousand Eyes's crazy gaze and cold words echoing throughout Silverwing Town made all the players present feel terrified and their spines chilled.

Too crazy!

Sacrificing thousands of level 100 Tier 2 magic-based players was one thing, but also sacrificing hundreds of Tier 3 experts, even a super guild probably couldn't do such a thing. They knew that hundreds of Tier 3 experts were also a considerable force for the various super forces.

"Zero Wing is really finished this time!"

"The Saint's Hand are indeed a group of madmen who can't be provoked! They've even used such methods. Not only will Zero Wing and Zero Wing's allies be swallowed up by those Saint's Hand monsters, but their souls will be weakened by the magic array, and the death penalty will be doubled."

The various super forces lurking in Silverwing Town watched Thousand Eyes laughing wildly in the magic water mirror. Even as bystanders, they could feel the chilling coldness and fear.

Just as the people in Silverwing Town were plunged into despair, several figures appeared on the main gate city wall of Silverwing Town. The leader of these figures was none other than the president of Zero Wing, Shi Feng.

Faced with the cold laughter echoing in Silverwing Town, Shi Feng glanced at the magic water mirror in mid-air.

"It's really noisy enough, but it's just Soul Extinguishing Hex, do you think this thing is of any use?" Shi Feng said indifferently.

Shi Feng's voice was not loud, but for the dead-silent Silverwing Town, Shi Feng's words were heard unusually clearly.

As Shi Feng's voice fell, the entire Silverwing Town was in an uproar. They didn't expect that even at this time, Shi Feng would still dare to ridicule Thousand Eyes. Did he want to die faster?

"Courting death!"

"Pretending to be calm! He'll have a good show to watch later!"

"I guess this Black Flame is out of options, that's why he's just talking big for the moment."

The various super forces looked at Shi Feng's indifferent expression in the magic water mirror, and their words were full of disdain and sneers. Perhaps the simple Soul Extinguishing Hex was indeed not very threatening or effective, but with the black mass of Saint's Hand army outside the city, it was definitely a nightmare for all players.

"Useless? Then let me see if this Soul Extinguishing Hex is useful or not to you after you face the attack of the Saint's Hand army!" Thousand Eyes was not angry about this, but instead chuckled.

As soon as Thousand Eyes finished speaking, the Saint's Hand army in the distance of Silverwing Town suddenly rushed up.

Millions of Saint's Hand army surged up, completely like a tsunami sweeping across the world. Wherever they passed, the earth shattered, the space exploded, and the roars shook the sky, making everyone in Silverwing Town gasp. Some Tier 3 experts even couldn't help but retreat.

"Noisy!"

Shi Feng looked at the endless Saint's Hand army surging up, and then waved his hand and pointed at the three Saint's Hand Devourers rushing in the middle of the Saint's Hand monsters in the distance.

In an instant, the five magic towers scattered around Silverwing Town simultaneously shot out red and white beams. The five red and white pillars of light gathered in the middle and rear of Silverwing Town and shot straight into the sky, shattering the sky.

Before everyone could react, a huge red and white pillar of light fell from the sky above the Saint's Hand army.

The moment it fell, the earth shattered and turned into nothingness. Then, this red and white pillar of light began to spread around, instantly engulfing everything within a radius of 300 yards, including the Saint's Hand Devourers, as if the entire area had been erased from existence, as if it had never existed...
