Although Yi Tianchen and others had previously sneaked into the Base of Operations, they still had no knowledge of its internal layout.
Now, they had to pay the price for that ignorance!
Seeing that Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan's Dragon Slaying Team could not advance, while Li Tielong's Assault Team was completely unable to break through the all-encompassing firepower blockade, Zeng Jian, known as King's Sword Soul, finally revealed a hint of a smile on his tense face.
"It seems everything is going according to our expectations!"
Wang Zitianheng smiled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of satisfaction. "Although we are also trapped in this Base of Operations and cannot attack their Guild Sculpture, they won't be able to breach our defenses either. Given enough time, we will surely wear down their forces until nothing remains. Victory will ultimately remain firmly in our grasp."
"That may be true, but everyone must stay alert and focused!" Zeng Jian's expression turned serious as he recalled the bet he made with Liu Yuhan at the Sea of Love Café. This was not just a guild confrontation between Wang Zitianheng and Mist of Time; it was also a personal duel between him and Liu Yuhan, as well as a clash between the Zeng Group and the Liu Group.
This battle was one that neither side could afford to lose!
"Send the order down—there must be no signs of slack from anyone. If they find any weakness, our entire plan will be compromised, and that cannot happen!" Zeng Jian stood firm, his gaze heavy as he tightened his fist with renewed determination.
"For safety's sake, I should go out and take a look!" Overlord Batyen volunteered, striding out of the conference room after receiving Zeng Jian's approval.
At the same time, the sounds of battle echoed in their ears…
Even having witnessed countless guild battles before, this scene still shook Overlord Batyen.
On the narrow Sky Bridge, a squad of Knight Players braved the rain of arrows and magic. With every two or three meters they advanced, someone would vanish in a flash of white light. The relentless onslaught was all too fitting for this place, yet the gruesome scenes were enough to instill fear in anyone's heart.
Meanwhile, in the air, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan's eight-member team found themselves stuck outside for an extended period.
Clearly, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan's group not only needed to find a gap in the overall layout to make a direct assault but also had to distract the fire points stationed above, creating opportunities for Li Tielong's Assault Team.
However...
The firepower layout within the Base of Operations was evidently beyond their expectations. Not only were they unable to approach, but the cliffs on either side of the Sky Bridge leading to the Base of Operations were also heavily fortified with numerous crossfire points. Every time Li Tielong's team attempted a Charge, they were not just targeted by one fire point but faced a barrage from multiple positions.
Despite having several priests at the back of their formation, healing was insufficient.
Even with knights charging through resurrection circles, they could not break through the crossfire. In less than half an hour, their losses had already exceeded a thousand members.
At this rate, Mist of Time would likely be decimated.
The calm that had once filled Overlord Batyen's eyes slowly faded, replaced by a look of grave concern.
...
In midair, Yi Tianchen's expression mirrored that gravity of the situation!
The current state of battle was something Yi Tianchen had never anticipated.
"Watch for cover; we must break through a gap!"
With a command from Yi Tianchen, Liu Yuhan, Proud Dragon, and Yesterday's Fireworks simultaneously mounted their steeds, appearing on either side of him. Liu Yuhan and the others unleashed a barrage of ranged attacks to suppress the defensive firepower, while Yi Tianchen wielded the Dragon's Roar, its brilliance radiating as it transformed into a golden sword light that shot forth like an arrow—
Hundred Steps Flying Sword!
The immense destructive power allowed Yi Tianchen to close in once more. Yesterday's Fireworks risked everything, activating the thirteenth cooldown of the Magic Shield, shouting, "Damn you bunch of turtles, take this from me..."
"Whoa—"
A fiery red glow erupted as countless Fire Elementals surged forth from the void, and a massive magic circle rose up in response...
"Damn it, that's a Forbidden Spell! Focus fire and take this guy down!"
Although the Forbidden Spell was incredibly powerful, the lengthy incantation posed a deadly risk. For a mage without protection, even possessing a Forbidden Spell didn't guarantee an opportunity to cast it... Witnessing this scene, Yi Tianchen pressed on while Liu Yuhan and the others quickly adjusted their cover targets. Even Fallen Feather in the Sky and The Terminator of Regrets, who lacked ranged attack skills, moved in to assist.
There was no other choice but to draw fire upon themselves!
Of course, if drawing fire failed, they could immediately switch from defense to offense and join Yi Tianchen in a forceful assault.
Meanwhile, Mu Wanqing followed closely behind, timely casting a resurrection effect on Yesterday's Fireworks and healing Yi Tianchen and the others at the front with Charge, ensuring the basic safety of their entire eight-member team.
However...
The opposing firepower was clearly not foolish; in such a pressing situation, they quickly distinguished between priorities. Under a barrage of concentrated fire, they shattered Yesterday's Fireworks' Magic Shield, causing Yesterday's Fireworks to expend its resurrection effect just before the spell was completed.
The shield broke, yet the incantation continued!
However, the end of life ultimately led to Yesterday's Fireworks, which could have played a crucial role in casting the Forbidden Spell, being rendered ineffective.
"Damn it!"
Yesterday's Fireworks felt a deep sense of unwillingness, anger flaring in their eyes. With no other choice, they could only retreat. As the threat from Yesterday's Fireworks was momentarily eliminated, the original attacking firepower immediately redirected its focus onto Yi Tianchen and the others, unleashing a barrage of long-range skills that forced Yi Tianchen and his companions to abruptly halt and veer away in a wide arc.
"If this continues, our forces will be exhausted!"
Liu Yuhan's worried voice rang out. In fact, at that moment, everyone was filled with a profound sense of frustration and anger. Watching their comrades on the Sky Bridge repeatedly fail in their Charge attempts and seeing the number of participants dwindling rapidly felt like a thorn deeply embedded in everyone's hearts.
Was this truly the destined outcome?
Yi Tianchen's gaze darkened as he looked at the Dragon's Roar in his hand. At this point, it seemed they could only rely on this final move.
"Roar—"
Amidst everyone's astonishment, accompanied by a ripple in space, a resounding Dragon's Roar suddenly erupted from within the golden light…
