Chapter 1 The Abandoned Town

The departure of the major guilds and adventurer teams left Lonely Forest Town suddenly empty, but the discussions about the orc siege on the Star-Moon Kingdom's official forum were still raging.

One siege video after another recorded by players left everyone in awe.

Although the major guilds usually had some friction, and even large-scale battles, compared to the orc army's siege warfare, it was like heaven and earth. Even just watching the videos, one could feel the chilling murderous aura of the battlefield.

"With so many orcs attacking the city, it seems Lonely Forest Town is finished. I wonder which place the orcs will attack next?"

"That's unlikely, right? This should be some kind of event. If the orc army is allowed to occupy the towns of the Star-Moon Kingdom, and the NPCs in each town are weakened, then the Star-Moon Kingdom will be done for."

"That's not certain, because in the new expansion pack, Empire's Rise, several surrounding countries have been eroded by the orcs."

"That's right, the surrounding towns are going to be unlucky next. With so many orcs, which guild can stop them? I heard that all the guilds in Lonely Forest Town have withdrawn, a full 300,000 elite troops!"

"That's not right, I heard that the Zero Wing Guild is still fighting in Lonely Forest Town."

"Zero Wing Guild? Don't count on them. I heard that the Zero Wing Guild only sent out a thousand-man team. It's just for show. They're not even enough to fill the gaps between the orc army's teeth. Maybe they've already withdrawn."

"But I heard from the people of Zero Wing that the thousand-man team sent out is Zero Wing's main force, and they haven't withdrawn yet."

"Maybe they want to farm some experience points. After all, there are so many orcs. A single large-scale magic can injure hundreds of orcs. The weakest of those orcs are special elites of level 40. I heard the experience points are quite generous, but each orc has a buff that reduces most damage."

Regarding the orc siege, some were happy and some were sad. After all, with the orc army's attack, it would be easier for them to farm honor contribution points in the future. However, for players living in the surrounding towns, it was somewhat tragic. If they were attacked by the orcs again, their previous foundations in the towns would be wasted, especially for those guilds that exclusively occupied towns, who wanted to cry at this moment.

"The people from the Zero Wing Guild haven't returned yet?" One Silent Burial, who had returned to Star-Moon City, couldn't help but show a look of surprise when he heard the report from his subordinates.

In his opinion, Zero Wing's performance should be about over. Lonely Forest Town was simply not a place that players could defend.

"Guild Leader Silent Burial, let's not worry about that Zero Wing. Although we didn't get enough contribution points and guild influence this time, it doesn't have much impact on our plan. Our main goal now is still Ancient Rock City, which is rising in the neutral map. As long as we take that Ancient Rock City, then forget about the Star-Moon Kingdom, the surrounding countries will be led by the Heaven's Burial Guild," Lei Jingyang said with a smile. "Didn't you say that Yanxue's side is ready? When are we going to make a move?"

"Yanxue's side is indeed ready, but we don't have many honor contribution points. We can only hire 5,000 mercenaries. If we can defend Lonely Forest Town this time, maybe we can hire 8,000 mercenaries, and getting Ancient Rock City will be a sure thing," One Silent Burial sighed.

Due to the rise of the Orc Empire, the neutral maps bordering the surrounding countries were all occupied by the orcs, and several ancient cities of the Orc Empire also appeared one after another, one of which was Ancient Rock City.

All the towns of these Orc Empires can be captured. As long as they are captured, although they cannot be completely controlled like a guild town, they can be built and developed, belonging to a semi-controlled mode, which is much easier than players building their own towns.

Moreover, because of the Orc Empire, major guilds and free players are thinking about farming honor contribution points to exchange for mounts and other rare items. Ancient Rock City is located in the internal area occupied by the Orc Empire, but it is a good place to farm contribution points, and it is also relatively close to several ancient ruins.

If it can be captured, it will undoubtedly become a place where all players in the surrounding countries want to live. At that time, the wealth and resources brought by just one Ancient Rock City will allow the Heaven's Burial Guild to leap to become the number one guild in the surrounding countries.

What Zero Wing City of the Star-Moon Kingdom is just a joke.

"That's enough. That old guy, Beast Emperor, wants two percent of Ancient Rock City's profits for no reason. He should put in some effort in the siege," Lei Jingyang said.

He didn't like Beast Emperor very much. He just liked to play dirty tricks.

But he had to admit that Beast Emperor had a very strong force in his hands, and he secretly controlled several large guilds with considerable strength. There were also large consortia secretly helping him, even allowing Nine Dragons Emperor of the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion to secretly assist him.

Fortunately, they were on different paths in God's Domain, and there would not be too much conflict in interests.

"Okay, I'll have Yanxue talk about it, but I heard that Beast Emperor's side is approaching a critical period, so he may not come to help," One Silent Burial nodded.

Although he had joined forces with Beast Emperor, they were each doing their own thing. If he had Beast Emperor's full assistance, he wouldn't have to bother so much to collect honor contribution points.

On the other side of Lonely Forest Town, as Shi Feng opened the space gate, the members of the Zero Wing Guild poured directly into the space gate, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of a camp rooted deep in the forest.

"Guild Leader, this..."

As soon as Aqua Rose came out, she saw that the huge camp was full of orcs above level 60, all of them above the leader level, with a number of more than a thousand. Among the orcs guarding the gate, there were as many as four orc warlords of the high lord rank.

In the large tent of the camp, there was also a huge orc wearing jet-black armor and carrying a beheading saber at his waist. The data displayed almost made people collapse.

Orc Warlord, humanoid creature, Legendary rank, Level 66, HP 400,000,000.

In addition to the 400 million HP, there were also five HP bars, which could be comparable to the experts on the fifth floor of the Trial Tower.

This was not some kind of decapitation operation, but simply throwing themselves into the net.

With the appearance of the Zero Wing members, a roar and horn sound suddenly rang out in the orc camp, as if notifying the orc army in the distance that they had encountered an enemy attack, and telling them to come quickly to rescue them.

At the same time, the four orc warlords guarding the gate of the camp also took out their weapons and directly charged over with the other orcs.

The orc warlord sitting in the large tent of the camp also walked towards Shi Feng and the others step by step, looking at Shi Feng and the others, a trace of sarcasm appeared on his fierce face, as if he had seen a few jumping ants.

"Cola, you take the aggro, everyone form a defensive formation!" Shi Feng didn't feel surprised about this. After all, it was the orcs' base camp, and the combat power would naturally not be weak. If it could be easily solved, then the kingdom war of the previous life wouldn't have lasted for days and nights.

But fortunately, the orcs' kingdom war was different from the war between NPCs. The Orc Empire didn't have the assistance of players, so they could use sneak attacks with confidence.

When Cola and the others heard this, they could only bite the bullet and pull the monsters.

Three orc warlords were pulled by Cola, Banzai, and Ye Wumian, and the remaining orc warlord was pulled by Gu Jiuji and Dark Madness. The remaining orcs of the great lord level were much easier to deal with.

However, facing these orcs with higher combat skills and a large number, Cola and the others did not fight easily. They had to resist the orc warlords in front of them, and also be careful of attacks from other orcs. These orcs were different from the savage orcs of Thunder Island. Their attacks were very skillful. The ranged attacks were fierce, and the rear had shamans to heal the orcs rushing in the front.

These orcs were overwhelmingly damaging to them. On the other hand, although they could also cause tens of thousands of damage, weren't the HP of these orcs in the millions or tens of millions? A small heal in the back row could easily heal tens of thousands, which was an overwhelming disadvantage for them.

"Guild Leader! The orc warlord is coming!" Cola looked at the approaching orc warlord and said nervously.

He felt that he had gone too far this time.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look, and instantly felt a sense of oppression and suffocation.
