Chapter 639: The Visiting Four League Leaders

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In just a few minutes, a massive Undead horde swarmed toward Camp Edgar from all directions. Stirring up scents of death and horror, these specters flocked toward the Fallen Angels’ defense lines—it looked just like the apocalypse!

The Elementalists had stopped using their Elemental Perception—the sheer number of specters they were facing was too overwhelming for them to detect. There was already an enormous amount of flying specters that were approaching the front line. If they were to use their Elemental Perception to locate all the oncoming specters, their brain would probably melt from the vast information flooding into their heads.

Fortunately, their lines of defense were quite sturdy…

Due to careful planning by the Five Clans, each Elementalist class was assigned to their specific roles—Terramancers, Aeromancers, and Aquamancers were assigned to perform crowd-controls. The Pyromancers, Solarmancers, and Electromancers were the damage dishers while the Shadowmancers were the supports. With good collaborations, they could definitely snipe the enemies from afar and wipe them out before they could get near to the camp—the specters would not even have the opportunity to retaliate at all.

Of course, the Elementalists weren’t the only ones handling the defense. They also needed some insurance or contingency plans in case some cracks were to appear in their defense lines or some Bosses showed up.

They needed people who could do long-range attacks too…

Therefore, the Bowmasters were also assigned to deliver attacks at long-range–they too possessed powerful long-range attacks. Other than that, they could also attack enemies at a faster rate.

Besides, the Steel Berserkers and Beastblood Berserkers were also tanking the enemies in the front line—forming an impenetrable fortress to block the specters’ attacks on behalf of the Elementalists behind them.

Specters’ loose, weak pitiful magic attacks had all landed on the “Berserker Fortress”. Their unfocused attacks couldn’t pose any threat at all to these meaty Berserkers.

In addition to that, as the attacks landed on the Berserkers’ bodies, several divine rays shone upon the wounded tanks.

“Light of Healing!”

It was the Radiant Priests and Priestesses from the Fallen Angels League. These healers were a must-have for any sort of battles and skirmishes, being tasked to buff and heal their fellow League members in the front line.

As long as the tanks could hold the line, the healers would then be able to maintain their healing output from behind. By doing this, they were able to fend off the persistent oncoming Undead Horde.

The battle had been going for half an hour now.

The 2000-meter defense lines had now become a good “curtain” to acquire Experience Points.

Seeing the endless Undead Horde flocking toward the defense lines, several Fallen Angels who couldn’t get into any team earlier had now gradually form parties with one another and quickly marched forward to cut down specters in chunks, earning tons and tons of Experience Points in the process.

Even the ones who were assigned to stand by at the back—some of the members of the main Fallen Angels Clan, unable to resist the temptation, were already rushing forward to farm for Experience Points too.

This quiet monotonous mob killing lasted for about an hour…

The specters, who had swarmed over via land and air, still couldn’t break through their defense.

Eventually, a few powerful Bosses had started to show up outside of the defense lines…

Naturally, instead of weakening Fallen Angels’ defense, the Bosses had attracted several Field Commanders’ attention to rush out and test their skills.

This was like a giant carnival for the League and if they succeed in this event, the Fallen Angels would be rewarded with a city they could call home. Thus, they were all eager to give it their all to make that a reality!

***

“Lich!!”

“A Lich’s approaching!!”

As some Field Commanders were cursing at their misfortune for missing the opportunity to kill some Mini Bosses earlier, shrieks of panic could be heard from the front lines.

Whooosh!

Over hundreds of Angelic Wings zoomed out to the sky…

Remorseless Warrior, Dinosaurcerer, and the other hundreds of Winged Champions, accompanied by the “flying squads”, rose up to the sky and then dove straight toward the Undead Horde that was struggling just outside one of their defense lines.

Their target was the Lich that had just appeared.

In that instance, it felt as though they had all turned into a massive white giant arrow, whoever who stood their way would be impaled right away.

Countless Skeletal Dragons and Vampires wailed in agony after they were shot, beaten down mid-air by the “white giant arrow”.

It was also quite apparent that the Lich didn’t expect the humans would come attacking so boldly!

Summoning a huge Warp Portal in the Underworld while having over ten thousands of men gathered nearby. Other than that, these worthless bugs even dared to retaliate after the specters had launched an attack!!

“Growwwl!!”

A black skull emerged in its hand. Then, in a flash, three high-speed skulls were shot at the Berserker who was leading the “white giant arrow”!

Yet, the Berserker didn’t even bother to evade the magic attack at all—he chose to tank it down.

As the other Field Commanders gawked in awe, several rays of divine lights shone on Judge’s body. Flapping his Angelic Wings, the latter continued charging ahead, as if he was completely unharmed.

With just one head butt, Judge had rammed the Lich off balance and his huge Broadsword slapped furiously at the Lich’s shoulder!

***

“Now that’s a real Warrior!”

“Wow… it’s no wonder he could take on Savior alone…”

All the Field Commanders knew who that was—he was the Steel Berserker who was one of the top ten winners of the Grand Tournament. Words traveled fast in the game after all.

***

Even though it was a Tier 6 Megaboss, after being melee-attacked by Judge twice and enduring the long-ranged attacks by the Winged Bowmasters and Electromancers from afar, the barrier that was cloaking the Lich disintegrated in less than two seconds.

Then, it was attacked by a combined magic and physical attacks immediately after that. Several debuffs also could be seen starting to affect the Lich quite a bit.

“I’ll go!”

Subjugator pulled out his sword and swung out a Burning Slash. Sparks burst out from the sword as it slashed through the air, turning the air into the steam. The attack was able to easily slash up a horrible cut and burn on the Lich’s body.

Subjugator was one of the best amongst the Ignis Swordmasters…

There was no one else who could deliver such damage to a Lich.

Wailing excruciatingly, the Lich was smashed to the ground pitifully. As the poor Tier 6 Megaboss fell from the sky, it was still being bombarded by waves after waves of Magic Attacks. It was basically a one-sided slaughter throughout its entire battle.

***

And Qin Ruo hadn’t even lifted a finger at all.

Flapping his Angelic Wings, Qin Ruo hovered above Camp Edgar looking at the Undead Horde surrounding the camp.

Even though a Lich had appeared, Qin Ruo only looked at it for about fifteen seconds. Knowing that it wouldn’t be able to pose a threat after being surrounded by hundreds of Tier 5 players and Champions, he set his eyes elsewhere without any hesitation.

Edgar…

What was he doing at the moment?

Was he watching all this too?

At this rate, as long as they weren’t attacked by eight Liches, the Fallen Angels should be able to handle this with little issue. As for their rear defense, there was Xin Yu, who had defeated a Tier 6 Megaboss alone and the elites from the Ascendant Saber Clan. Although they were much weaker compared to the other Clans, they would still be able to take on a Lich with ease.

The Executors were handling the defense on the left. The Clan Leader Remorseless Warrior was a Tier 5 Champion. Even though they were not as strong as the Fallen Angels Clan, the Executors were still quite strong. They were, in fact, almost as strong as the Bauhinia Clan.

As for the Bauhinia Clan, they were undeniably formidable. There were Champions like Violet Orchid, Slayer’s Heart, Homme Fatale, and Steel Dude amongst its ranks–they could easily defeat two or three Liches. The only Clan that he was most worried about was the Violent Army Clan. However, the Fallen Angels Clan had sent over some people to aid them.

Therefore, there shouldn’t be much issue if there were two to three Liches launching simultaneous attacks at them from different directions.

To hold their ground for seven days in the Underworld shouldn’t be much of an issue.

Yet…

Qin Ruo glanced at an empty space that was surrounded by a blue flame and frowned. He was worried about the words and warning that Edgar told him earlier.

Edgar and his fellow Demigod NPCs must have something that was bugging them. And it wasn’t Liches that bothered them.

It was something much stronger…

If it could spook Edgar and his colleagues, it must be something stronger than a Tier 6 Elite Megaboss or perhaps… a Divine Boss?

As he was lost in his thoughts, a familiar voice pulled him back to reality.

It was Majestic Hero’s voice.

“Little Qin, how could you? I’ve been waiting over here to give you a hand. And yet, you’ve commenced Project Pioneer without us.”

“Heh, we’ve just begun. We’ll need to guard here for seven days. If I have to rely on you to hold the line on the first day, how’d we even last for six days?” Qin Ruo smiled.

“Yeah, I suppose you’re right. Staying in the Underworld for seven days is quite boring too. But this Project Pioneer… I’ve done a little bit of research on it online. When the city had been built, the League Leader would have full power in agreeing further expansion on the Project Pioneer. The League Leader would also have full control of the city’s Warp Portal, city defense, and the city’s shops and economy to be able to travel back and forth between the Underworld and Mythical Continent during the time when there are no Undead Hordes attacking, this alone is a great advantage!”

“Exactly.”

Qin Ruo nodded. His main purpose of commencing Project Pioneer so early was to raise his League members’ Level up quickly. There were tremendous amount of monsters and specters in the Underworld. An Elite troop could easily grind for Experience Points here and advance to Tier 6 in a month!

“Ahem! Looks like you’re running ahead of us again. We, the Hall of Heroes, will need at least a week’s time to acquire that twenty billion gold coins. Yet, you guys could do this on the second day itself… I’m so impressed.” Majestic Hero’s words made Qin Ruo blushed.

After explaining to Majestic Hero, the latter finally understood his reasons.

“Ah, I see. So that’s why…” Majestic Hero laughed. “Haha! You’re so lucky! Oh right, Little Qin! Could you activate that Warp Portal first? Black God, Scarlet Bauhinia, Netherclaw and I want to bring some members over to visit the construction site. You know, to learn this new City Building System.”

“Haha, sure! I’m welcoming you guys with open arms!”
