Death Abyss, a battle was underway!
Zeng Jian (King's Sword Soul) felt a heavy heart, struggling to accept the reality before him—after traversing that dark path, the forty-thousand-strong team had been reduced to less than ten thousand? This outcome was far beyond his expectations.
Moreover, as soon as they landed, they were immediately attacked by members of the Five Major Guilds led by Li Tielong!
In an instant, the mere ten thousand he led found themselves in a precarious position, unable to advance or retreat, suspended on the cliffs of Death Abyss.
Many had even chosen to return to the city outright!
Meanwhile, within Alien Territory, Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan, with the help of Yasi, managed to break through the encirclement of the Alien Air Force. They quickly changed direction towards the Sealed Gate of Alien Territory, while also contacting the other Four Major Guilds' Presidents.
In contrast, the Presidents of the Four Major Guilds remained much calmer!
After Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan successfully drew the attention of the Alien Army, their situation improved significantly. They were able to organize a decent counterattack, causing great disruption and chaos for the rear forces of the Alien Army, earning a considerable amount of Faction Merit Points in the process.
At this moment, members of the Four Major Guilds had already set off on their retreat!
Due to a miscalculation regarding the strength of the Otherworldly Race, leaders of the NPC Army, Elena and Shiriel, also clearly recognized a major issue—they were severely unprepared for this campaign against Alien Territory and had underestimated their foes.
Now, they could only face this unpredictable outcome.
Before them lay an extremely perplexing question—what would happen if the Alien Army entered the Dreamland Continent through that opened gate?
Would history repeat itself from a thousand years ago?
The worry was soon validated. As the massive Alien Army turned once again, pursuing the System NPC Army and the Four Major Guilds, a dark mass of the Alien Air Force had already followed Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan to the outskirts of the gate.
"Charge out and hold the line!" Yi Tianchen commanded decisively.
Although the gate was towering, it paled in comparison to the overwhelming presence of the Alien Air Force. Moreover, as the passage rapidly narrowed, it would be quite a challenge for the Alien Air Force to pass through this gate.
"Ga!"
The mounts neighed as Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan charged out first, then quickly turned back to intercept at the gate.
It truly was a case of one man holding back the tide!
As for whether they could withstand an army, that remained to be seen. A large number of Alien Air Force rushed forward, and suddenly a flash of blood surged toward them. Yi Tianchen swung his Dragon's Roar down from above, unleashing a massive sword shadow that struck down sharply, forcing the Alien Air Force to retreat.
Immediately afterward, a multitude of Otherworldly Race began to circle around!
Yi Tianchen stood ready while Liu Yuhan stood beside him. They understood well that the Otherworldly Race before them were not ordinary System monsters but a highly intelligent species. They were waiting for an opportunity—a chance to break through the gate that had separated Alien Territory from Dream of Heaven for millennia.
Time passed second by second!
During this period, the Alien Air Force launched three attacks in total, all failing due to the narrowness of the gate. Additionally, the large size of the Otherworldly Race further restricted their reckless attempts to break through.
Suddenly, another assault began.
The speed of the Alien Air Force was undeniable, and they had learned from their previous failures. This time, only three members of the Alien Air Force acted as vanguards, diving rapidly toward the gate. However, they were immediately intercepted by Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan.
Yesterday's Fireworks nearly threw Forbidden Spell away in frustration.
However, to the surprise of Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan, following the failure of the first assault, the Alien Air Force quickly launched a second attack, again with only three members, diving at high speed to crash into Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan's defenses.
"They're trying to wear us down!" Liu Yuhan exclaimed.
Yi Tianchen nodded, feeling both speechless and helpless. Knowing it would be difficult to break through in one go, the Alien Air Force had resorted to this small-scale, repeated war of attrition, launching wave after wave of assaults without pause.
"If this continues, it could get ugly!" Yesterday's Fireworks expressed concern.
Indeed, in less than five minutes, one of the Alien Air Force slipped through the net, crossing through the large gate and circling above the skies of Dreamland Continent, letting out a piercing cry as if laughing in victory.
In the next moment, a barrage of arrows and spells followed...
As Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan were anxiously worrying, they suddenly heard cheers behind them. Turning around, they saw Li Tielong leading members of Mist of Time along with some from the other Four Major Guilds, charging towards them. "Boss President, we're here!"
"Ah—"
A calm smile spread across Yi Tianchen's face; their arrival was perfectly timed!
"What’s the situation over there?" Liu Yuhan asked. The expression on Li Tielong darkened. "As expected, this is all Zeng Jian's doing (King's Sword Soul). However, their team has scattered; what's left is no longer a concern. We still have three hundred people holding the line."
"Great!"
Yi Tianchen nodded, determination rising in his gaze as he pointed towards the large gate. "We must keep the Otherworldly Race contained within that gate; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
“Understood!”
Li Tielong, with a sense of righteousness, immediately commanded the members behind him to form a defensive formation, blocking the entrance. Even against the oncoming tide of enemies, they would not allow anyone to breach it easily—especially since this seemingly indestructible door served as a natural barrier.
As expected, during the subsequent assaults from the Otherworldly Race, the entire formation remained steadfast!
Meanwhile, those still within the Alien Territory, including the Presidents of the Four Major Guilds and their members, along with the System NPC Army, found themselves in a dilemma—
With the Alien Air Force intercepting them in front and the Alien Army pursuing them from behind!
After a fierce battle and numerous player casualties, the System NPC Army suffered heavy losses. By the time they reached the door, the once-mighty thirty thousand NPC Army had dwindled to less than three thousand, and the members of the Four Major Guilds had been reduced to just over four hundred.
At that moment, a heavy weight filled everyone's hearts!
Because if the Otherworldly Race managed to pass through this door, it would not be an end but rather the beginning of a great tragedy!
“Quickly, everyone retreat from the door!” Rebellious Blood Blade shouted hoarsely.
In the midst of continuous retreats and counterattacks, when everyone finally exited through the door, only about one thousand System NPCs remained. The total number of members from all Five Major Guilds combined barely reached fifteen hundred.
An unprecedented tension enveloped the surroundings…
