The slaughter that unfolded before them was nothing short of a bloody massacre!
After the first step of the tactics was successfully executed, Yi Tianchen charged forward with his sword, leading the way alongside Hero Does Not Question Origin and others. They swiftly carved out a small section of the enemy ranks with remarkable speed. Liu Yuhan followed closely behind, launching a wide-area attack that effectively suppressed their opponents.
At the same time, Not a Master and his companions continued to shout, "The President is dead! Everyone retreat!" Their chaotic cries left many confused. In an instant, one person's panic spread to those around them, creating the perfect opportunity for chaos to ensue.
"Dammit! The President is dead! Everyone run!" someone from Blood Night shouted.
"Kill! Leave no one alive! Hahaha..."
Hero Does Not Question Origin laughed maniacally, wielding the Bone Crusher Blade with ease and ferocity. In less than a minute, he had dispatched five or six players from the opposing team.
With Yi Tianchen's group already in training, they quickly transitioned into combat mode, charging at the separated enemy players with renewed vigor. Their attacks came from all angles—horizontal, vertical, and diagonal—creating a fierce battle atmosphere.
The initiative in the battle was firmly in their hands. Yi Tianchen felt both exhilarated and surprised. This tactic was meant to be a desperate gamble, yet it had been executed so effortlessly. He couldn't tell if they were simply lucky or if Blood Night's members were truly incompetent.
Regardless, the current situation did not represent the entirety of the battle. While they could deceive their opponents momentarily, such tricks wouldn't last forever. Seizing the opportunity, Yi Tianchen cut down several enemies who dared to show themselves and quickly issued a command in the team channel—retreat!
Yes, retreat. They had caught Blood Night off guard and created chaos, but this confusion was not meant for total annihilation; it was intended for Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan's safe withdrawal.
With the second step of their tactics underway, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan swiftly fell back. However, some members were caught up in their bloodlust and failed to heed Yi Tianchen's orders, continuing to fight fiercely against their opponents.
The outcome was predictable...
"Damn it! We've been tricked... Everyone chase after them! We will destroy Mist of Time! We will defend Blood Night's honor! Kill! Kill! Kill!" one shouted, feeling that his moment to shine had finally arrived as he raised his arm and initiated the pursuit.
Blazing Arrow.
Rapid Fire.
Three arrows flew, and none missed their target. Unexpectedly, the Blazing Arrow triggered a secondary explosion, causing the man to shudder. By the time he realized he was about to die, it was already too late. He fell, dropping a considerable amount of gold coins that glimmered on the grass, quickly snatched up by his surrounding teammates.
The speed was so astonishing that even Yi Tianchen felt a twinge of embarrassment!
Lion Plains, an incredibly narrow expanse of land. If one traveled north and crossed the vast plain, they would find an endless forest—Dawn Forest!
It is said that this forest was not always known as Dawn Forest. It was once called the Dark Forest, under the jurisdiction of the Undead. After the Holy War, humanity took control of this forest and renamed it Dawn Forest, symbolizing a place filled with hope.
※※※
At this moment, Blood Night Poison Dragon was feeling utterly frustrated. Being casually killed in front of so many subordinates was a significant blow to his pride as President. However, thinking about Yi Tianchen First Person’s identity provided him with some consolation.
Moreover, this battle had only just begun; it was clearly too early to draw conclusions. After respawning, Blood Night Poison Dragon immediately summoned several capable subordinates and declared angrily, “Gather all the brothers in the city! Today, I will annihilate Mist of Time and wipe out Falling Leaves!”
“Yes!” One person responded solemnly and began to take action.
“Second-in-command, why didn’t you make a move earlier? If you had… things wouldn’t have ended up like this; they wouldn’t have escaped.” Blood Night Poison Dragon turned to look at a young man who was fiddling with a dagger. His tone held anger but also revealed a hint of self-restraint.
This “second-in-command” referred to by Blood Night Poison Dragon was none other than the Vice President of the Blood Night Guild, a young man around twenty-two or twenty-three years old. He had a fair complexion and appeared somewhat scholarly but was actually a skilled assassin with impressive abilities, known by the ID: Blood Night Poison Wolf.
“Brother, the situation was too sudden. Even if I had acted, the outcome might not have been any different,” Blood Night Poison Wolf replied expressionlessly, his gaze directed northward exuding an invisible aura. “On the contrary, now presents an excellent opportunity to eliminate both Mist of Time and Falling Leaves!”
Blood Night Poison Dragon paused in surprise. “What do you mean? Do you already have a strategy for dealing with Mist of Time and Falling Leaves? Share it with me.”
"A single word..."
Blood Night Poison Wolf's lips curled slightly as he said, "Surround, but do not kill!"
"Surround but do not kill?" Blood Night Poison Dragon frowned, clearly not understanding the specific meaning behind Blood Night Poison Wolf's words. Growing a bit impatient, he said, "Come on, Second Brother, stop keeping me in suspense. You know I'm not as clever as you, just tell me directly!"
"If I tell you directly, it won't work," Blood Night Poison Wolf replied with a smile.
"Damn! Second Brother, that's not fair! You're still hiding things from me?" Blood Night Poison Dragon felt a lump in his throat. Yet deep down, he understood his brother's temperament; if he didn't want someone to know something, no amount of persuasion would yield even the slightest hint.
"Fine! As long as we can take down Mist of Time and Falling Leaves, I'll do whatever you say!" After a moment of silence, Blood Night Poison Dragon conceded.
Blood Night Poison Wolf nodded and turned to a Squad Leader. "You immediately take a team back to the city and guard the area around the return point. If you see anyone with the Mist of Time emblem on their arm, kill them without mercy!"
"Killing... in the city?" The Squad Leader trembled slightly at the thought, his voice quivering. In the setting of Zero Era, while players were not restricted from engaging in malicious PK within the city, the penalties for PK were much harsher than in the wild. Once marked as a criminal, they would be hunted down by NPC guards.
"What? Are you scared?" Blood Night Poison Wolf scoffed disdainfully. Seeing the fear on the Squad Leader's face only made him shake his head and continue, "Don't worry; you're just being cautious. They will definitely anticipate our move and won't return to the city."
"This..." The Squad Leader hesitated for a moment. "I'll go arrange it right away."
Once the Squad Leader left, Blood Night Poison Dragon couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Second Brother, how can you be so sure they won't return to the city?"
"A single word..."
Blood Night Poison Wolf's gaze was deep, tinged with a hint of wickedness as he firmly stated, "Because... they are all smart people!"
"Wow!" Blood Night Poison Dragon exclaimed, eyes wide. "What kind of excuse is that? You say it so confidently, I really have to admire you!"
Blood Night Poison Wolf chuckled, "Big brother, this is a matter for the smart ones to handle. You might as well not get involved."
"Uh..."
Blood Night Poison Dragon was taken aback, immediately understanding the implication behind Blood Night Poison Wolf's words. It seemed that in the end, he had turned himself into a fool!
***
Dawn Forest.
Yi Tianchen stood with his sword, gazing down the path they had come from, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. Earlier, when they were retreating, the enemy clearly had the chance to pursue them but seemed to be deliberately delaying, giving them the opportunity and time to successfully withdraw into Dawn Forest.
A conspiracy—there must be some hidden agenda behind this!
But what exactly was the conspiracy? Yi Tianchen found himself at a loss, and his inner anxiety deepened inexplicably.
At this moment, Liu Yuhan shared the same confusion and doubt. The enemy's actions left her utterly astonished and perplexed. Just moments ago, she had been racing with excitement over their narrow escape in battle, but now she sensed that from the very beginning, this was a trap set by the opponent.
"Remnant, I need to know their movements at all times!" Yi Tianchen finally spoke after a long silence.
"Understood."
Upon hearing this, The Terminator of Regrets nodded solemnly and instantly vanished like the wind, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.
"At nine o'clock, three enemy squads are approaching, totaling 27 people..."
"At four o'clock, four enemy squads are approaching, totaling 39 people..."
"At six o'clock, two enemy squads are approaching, totaling 18 people..."
In just under three minutes, the detection information from The Terminator of Regrets appeared in the team channel of Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan. But what did this precise direction and accurate numbers indicate? It meant that the enemy was not far away, perhaps even right beside them!
Undeniably, everyone sensed the dangerous atmosphere surrounding them...
Yi Tianchen frowned slightly, deep in thought. The three directions of the enemy perfectly blocked their route into Dawn Forest, effectively cutting off their escape. Dawn Forest was already beyond the safe radius of Southern Wilderness City by fifty miles, a territory teeming with high-level monsters.
"The positions remain unchanged, but reinforcements have arrived. However... it seems the enemy has no intention of advancing?" The information from The Terminator of Regrets appeared again, and even he was puzzled, adding a large question mark at the end.
The encirclement remained unchanged, numbers continued to increase, yet there was no action...
Surrounding but not attacking?
Inevitably, this thought suddenly leaped into his mind. In an instant, both Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan felt a chill run down their spines as they involuntarily considered a sinister plan—one that was currently being executed against them by the enemy.
