Chapter 1 The Final Preparations

After Feng Qianyu turned and left, only Jiu Longhuang quietly savored his fine wine.

"Guild Leader, should I arrange for someone to destroy Zero Wing's Lakeside City Residence while we have the chance?" Long Wu asked quietly, his burly frame exuding a chilling aura.

"The mission is about to begin. There's no need to waste manpower on such a trivial matter. That Zero Wing Guild won't be able to jump around for much longer anyway," Jiu Longhuang glanced at Feng Qianyu's departing figure and smiled faintly.

With so many monsters attacking Stone Forest Town, even their Dragon Phoenix Pavilion might not be able to withstand it, let alone a Zero Wing Guild.

Without Stone Forest Town as a major source of income, Zero Wing would no longer be a useful aide to Feng Qianyu.

In a corner of the top-floor reception room, Feng Qianyu finally managed to contact Shi Feng.

"Guild Leader Feng, what brings you to contact me so suddenly?" Shi Feng teased, looking at the somewhat anxious Feng Qianyu in the video.

Feng Qianyu's sudden contact had forced him to end his meeting immediately. He had found a reception room, removed his Black Flame disguise, and then clicked to accept the communication.

"Are you playing dumb?" Feng Qianyu rolled her eyes at Shi Feng and went straight to the point. "Who doesn't know about the situation in Stone Forest Town right now? While I can't provide manpower, I can lend you some war weapons."

"War weapons?" Shi Feng was surprised by Feng Qianyu's generosity. War weapons were treasures in the hands of the major guilds. They were rarely used, even by the guilds themselves, and were only brought out at critical moments. "War weapons are unnecessary. I wonder, how many Magic Crystals do you have on hand right now?"

"You don't need war weapons?" Feng Qianyu was slightly taken aback, not understanding Shi Feng's thinking. War weapons were incredibly effective in a monster siege like this, but Shi Feng clearly wasn't interested. "The Magic Crystals I borrowed from Zero Wing Guild before are almost used up. I have 50,000 on hand. If you need them urgently, I'll have Qing Huang send them over right away. I don't have any more than that."

"Fifty thousand? That's barely enough," Shi Feng pondered for a moment and thanked her. "Thank you, Guild Leader Feng. We'll waive the interest on the 300,000 Magic Crystals you borrowed from Zero Wing Guild."

Feng Qianyu was about to say something, but Shi Feng hung up immediately after speaking.

"Sister Qianyu, how did it go? Should I take people to the guild warehouse to get those Goblin Cannons now?" Qing Huang asked as she approached.

"It's not necessary anymore. Just take 50,000 Magic Crystals to Stone Forest Town," Feng Qianyu shook her head.

"Not necessary?" Qing Huang was astonished. "Those are war weapons! They could play a huge role in defending the town. Does Zero Wing really have the confidence to defend Stone Forest Town against so many monsters?"

"I don't think Zero Wing would joke around with Stone Forest Town," Feng Qianyu said uncertainly. "Hopefully, Zero Wing can hold on. Just in case, you should still take those few Goblin Cannons and special ammunition."

An army of over 500,000 monsters, the weakest of which were Level 60 Elites, was something even their Dragon Phoenix Pavilion might not be able to withstand. It was hard to imagine that Zero Wing only needed some Magic Crystals.

"I understand," Qing Huang nodded and left the reception room.

...

Outside Stone Forest Town, the area was now surrounded by a sea of Blackfiends. The sight from the city walls was both terrifying and thrilling, causing the Zero Wing members guarding the walls to tremble, and even the players who had come to watch the excitement were frightened by the scene before them.

The reason was simple: the information they had received earlier was very different from what they were seeing.

The news said that the weakest monsters were Level 60 Elites, which was true, but Level 60 Elites didn't make up the majority of the monster horde. They didn't even account for a quarter of the total number. The most numerous monsters were the Level 60 and above Special Elites.

Moreover, one in ten monsters was a Level 60 or above Leader monster, the equivalent of a Boss in a six-person dungeon.

The number of Tier 2 Lords was chilling, not to mention the Great Lords and High Lords that were the size of small hills.

"It's over. Stone Forest Town is truly doomed. I just roughly counted, and the number of Great Lords alone exceeds two hundred..."

"What's that? At least we could put up a fight against Great Lords. Have you seen the High Lords and Mythic monsters in the back? Those High Lords and Mythic monsters alone could easily destroy Stone Forest Town."

"How can there be such a powerful monster army? Not only Zero Wing, but even if all the players in Stone Forest Town joined forces, they wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between the monsters' teeth!"

The terrifying sight caused some of the players who had originally wanted to watch the show to give up on the idea.

The difference in strength was too great. It wasn't a battle, but a massacre. If they didn't leave quickly, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape when the battle started.

"Hahaha, Qi Yitao's cultivated monster army is truly astonishing. Now, even if Zero Wing sends its entire force, it will just be like hitting a stone with an egg. The more they send, the more they will lose." Yi Xiao Du Zang watched the video sent by his subordinate from inside Stone Forest Town, feeling unspeakably relieved.

With such power, after destroying Stone Forest Town, the next target would be the town controlled by the Star River Alliance. By then, no one in the entire Star-Moon Kingdom would be able to compete with their Heaven Burial Guild.

"Guild Leader, I just received news that Zero Wing doesn't seem to be taking any action. The elite members currently in Stone Forest Town are just the elite members who were stationed here before, only about 40,000 in number," the subordinate reporting via video said, turning the camera to the inside of Stone Forest Town.

The Zero Wing members inside Stone Forest Town were all on the city walls, but their numbers were small. They didn't look like the elite Zero Wing Guild with an army of 100,000.

"Have they given up?" Yi Xiao Du Zang smiled at the sight. "What a pity. I originally wanted to take advantage of this and trick Zero Wing. As expected of Black Flame, he's so decisive in his actions. No wonder he was able to develop Zero Wing to this extent."

If he were in this situation, he would probably try everything to find a way to protect Stone Forest Town.

But rationally speaking, giving up was the best choice. Otherwise, the losses would be even greater, and it wouldn't change the outcome.

Inside Stone Forest Town, everyone realized that Zero Wing was going to abandon Stone Forest Town. They didn't dare to stay any longer and took out their Return Scrolls to leave Stone Forest Town.

"How boring. So, that's all the courage you Zero Wing Guild have!" Qi Yitao, who was quietly watching everything outside Stone Forest Town, curled his lips. He had originally wanted to see Zero Wing's final struggle. "Since that's the case, let's end this!"

Qi Yitao waved his hand, and the Blackfiend army surrounding Stone Forest Town launched its attack, rushing towards Stone Forest Town like a prehistoric beast.

Seeing the Blackfiend army approaching, the Zero Wing members on the city walls tensed up.

How could 40,000 elites fight against an army of over 500,000 monsters?

Just as the Blackfiend army charged within 3,000 yards of Stone Forest Town, small ballistae appeared on the city walls of Stone Forest Town, each operated by three people.

Standing on the Magic Tower, Shi Feng smiled slightly and gave the order.

"Give them hell!"
