Only the three commanders remained on the battlefield.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuTqYNPwsE 維尼
Letting out a bitter screech, the blue-eyed monoeye commander toppled to the ground after receiving concentrated attacks from the players.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKILU4fEHO 維尼
The giant beastman was also letting out pathetic cries. Against the monsters, the players had no reason to hold back. No one was going to save it no matter how loud it cried. Especially now that the fair ladies could heal the other players without restraint, barely any player died… apart from those unlucky idiots who stood there blankly and took the giant beastman’s charged strike head on.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0UESDo89A 維尼
Soon enough, the giant beastman let out a howl and fell as it swung its last strike, bringing several players down with it. High in spirits, the players cheered and made victory cries.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQYq5HI5iI 維尼
With two commanders down, only the elite wolf tribe warrior, now drenched in blood, remained. It was clear that it wouldn’t last too much longer.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLwY3bPGp9 維尼
Suddenly, it pointed its snout to the sky and howled, rushing at Yoda immediately afterwards.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx7M4uEhiN 維尼
As expected of the wolf tribe, its pace completely outmatched even the warriors who used Dash. The players instinctively went out of its way upon seeing the wolf’s imposing stride. By the time they had returned to their senses, the wolf was already barely several hundred metres away from the city.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡypgio4w59U 維尼
‘Bunch of idiots!’ Hades growled. To him, the players who spaced out on the battlefield were all morons.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDKNzir2mQ 維尼
A handful of clear-headed players were casting their skills at the wolf, but it surprisingly ignored its injuries and was dead set on reaching Yoda despite there being nothing but a massive, tightly-shut gate in its path.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9TZJjF1D4 維尼
Soulsmith calmly pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his back and aimed.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1dfMbOs0A 維尼
An arrow whizzed through the air. It was the most powerful skill the hunter class currently possessed—Heart-Piercing Shot!8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEkogv6dob 維尼
A streak of light penetrated through space itself and sunk into the wolf. Knocked off its feet while charging, the wolf stumbled and rolled on the ground from all the momentum, its gigantic torso drawing marks along the soil. It finally came to a halt several metres before the city gate. Eyes rolled upwards, life had clearly vacated its husk.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuBc3X5aUR 維尼
But everyone went silent. Be it the players on the battlefield or those on the city walls, they all stared at the corpse that lay not far beyond the gates until it despawned.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZR0rSj7wL 維尼
The wolf taught them the consequences of arrogance.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nnPWTuQJ8 維尼
If it had half its health left and had managed to break into the city, the players who had stayed behind due to their low levels would have been at its mercy—which spelt certain death.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLS5b0GZxV 維尼
‘Successfully defended against the third wave. The fourth wave will begin in 15 minutes. Be aware that monsters will strike from both the east and west gates.’8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ7ZzIzhrW 維尼
After a brief period of silence, the players cleaned up the battleground and returned to the city. Under Hades’ command, those who could take part in the operation were players who had engaged in melee combat. This barred greedy bastards who didn’t join the fight from stealing the equipment of the valiant defenders who had lost their lives.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTVnMmOGUX 維尼
After undergoing the baptism of three waves of blood and flames, the players from Yoda and Evergrand had dropped their mental barricade and were now mingling together as one.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8c7enBWbS 維尼
Some players even directly posted the name of items that they had picked up but weren’t theirs on the city chat channel. Of course, those who wanted to claim the items had to show their ownership by listing the items’ attributes and the like.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2dLSDR1sb 維尼
The system announcement did say that there were no death penalties, but that was only limited to dropping levels. There was still a chance that equipment would drop upon death. With how quickly the players were reorganising themselves, though, they were quickly regaining their dropped equipment, which also meant their combat strength was rapidly recovering.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvwMjI8SG7 維尼
While the players were resting and reorganising themselves, the big shots who could represent almost every player in the city were discussing among themselves: Drako Yau, Sasaki, Hades, and Zephyrwolf.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOCtZd1zqa 維尼
That was not to say that veterans like Soulsmith and Bloodless Bladester were weak. They just were not interested in matters that involve commanding work. They followed Hades, and they served as his second dagger—that was it.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3NUlCM6IC 維尼
Seizing authority and power? That was something only Satan enjoyed.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡeemwz4qx5p 維尼
‘The fourth wave… it’ll probably be on a whole different level compared to the first three.’8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL3cN2173e 維尼
Drako Yau bore no arrogance for successfully defending three waves, but was instead even more cautious than before. The first three waves’ difficulty had actually exceeded his expectations.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB0jI008Gq 維尼
He had several trump cards in his hand. The first was Zephyrwolf and the demon wolf king, the second was the army of ranged players, and the third one was Hades and his underlings from Underworld. As for Sasaki, it was more of a surprise really.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx2H538rpj 維尼
But it had only been three waves. Almost all of his trump cards had been unveiled. If he had to name their final trump card, it would be himself.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O4yQEvFCY 維尼
‘Starting from the fourth wave, we’ll be attacked from both sides. Our numbers are limited…’8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F3MquF17u 維尼
Zephyrwolf couldn’t help but grumble upon hearing those words from Drako Yau. ‘Those cowardly bastards! They’re all just running over to the big guilds to take refuge!’8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDXHu1J2lt 維尼
Hades had always been incompatible with Zephyrwolf, so he snickered and said, ‘Don’t sound so high and mighty. If Empyreon and Terrafirm had enough room for you and your men, would you still stay here?’8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVX5e1KMXi 維尼
‘You!’ Zephyrwolf couldn’t bear the humiliation and shot up from his seat with his hand placed onto the hilt of his weapon. Hades continued sneering as he stood up as well, his dagger unsheathed at some point.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEGOBaDNpf 維尼
‘Sit down, both of you.’ Drako Yau’s voice was poised, but it also had an imposing feeling to it. He sent cold glances at the two through his mask and said, ‘A great enemy is knocking on our gates, yet you’re still fighting among yourselves. I don’t care if both of you go all out at each other after the siege, but from now on, if anyone stirs up anymore trouble, get the hell out.’8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡymmdaKtTFY 維尼
Sasaki was drenched in sweat. Damn!That’s why he’s the boss!8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu9NlA8VQA 維尼
Be it Zephyrwolf or Hades, neither of the two was a figure to be ridiculed. However, in front of Drako Yau, both of them sat down like good kids, just that they were still staring daggers at one another. If gazes could kill, they’d both be dead by now.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTTMbspMa6 維尼
More importantly, the three of them were curious about Drako Yau. The words he spoke just now had such a terrifying and imposing air. The taciturn and gentle sheep had, all of a sudden, turned into a staggering tiger. The grandeur and atmosphere of a superior wasn’t something that could be acquired in just a moment or two.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMDcrg5q2c 維尼
Just what was his true identity?8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuI4nnTfL5 維尼
Who was Drako Yau? Previously having taken the helm of the greatest gaming company in the Tenth Eastern City, countless people had worked under him. It was how he had gained his formidable demeanor naturally over time.8964 copyright protection362ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oFCIOLThf 維尼
Seeing the two of them sit back down, Drako Yau continued, ‘Don’t be jealous of those players in the larger cities.’ He grinned behind his mask. ‘They’re not exactly better off than us either.’366Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstjprRTcA9
