A purple-gold magical barrier materialized out of thin air, and the previously excited members of Black Water all looked around in horror.
The magical barrier would not only affect their combat effectiveness.
Most importantly, they could no longer leave Stone Forest Town, while Zero Wing's side could receive continuous reinforcements.
At this moment, Qi Yitao's face turned iron-gray as he stared fixedly at Shi Feng disguised atop the Obelisk.
As long as the magical barrier existed, none of them could leave Stone Forest Town, and the items dropped by Lancelot would have a two-hour unowned status after being seen by players. If they were killed, any items they picked up would drop.
Two hours was more than enough time for Zero Wing's reinforcements to arrive and wipe them all out.
...
"A ruthless scheme!" Yuan Tiexin, observing the battle from far away in Sem Town, felt a new sliver of wariness towards Shi Feng. "Now Black Water, Heavenly Burial, and Pantheon are truly finished."
Looking back now, Shi Feng was truly terrifying.
Not only did he possess extraordinary strength, but he also had unimaginable strategic thinking.
Facing such a formidable Black Water Guild, he had managed to weaken them to this extent without them even realizing it. Even he, a veteran with vast battle experience, had only just now realized that this entire battle had, from start to finish, been under Shi Feng's control. But by now, even if Black Water and the others realized it, everything was already too late.
Currently, the Black Water Guild had neither numerical advantage nor peak combat power. They didn't even have the benefit of terrain.
"Uncle Yuan, Zero Wing has won this great battle. Should we still go meet Black Flame?" Zi Qiong asked.
She had no interest whatsoever in the outcome of this great battle, but it had confirmed one thing for her: she wanted to challenge Black Flame.
"Yes, of course we should go. In fact, it's *because* Zero Wing won that our visit becomes more valuable," Yuan Tiexin said with a smile.
Although the Zero Wing Guild had won, Stone Forest Town was destroyed.
Without the financial support of Stone Forest Town, the current Candlelight Trading Firm simply couldn't support Zero Wing. They urgently needed new sources of income, or the guild's development would quickly stall, especially at this critical juncture. With experts from all major guilds breaking through to Level 40, the mount situation had to be resolved properly, otherwise the gap between guilds would widen.
And his Heavenly Secrets Pavilion could provide Zero Wing with cities and markets for development.
Then, it wouldn't be difficult to obtain the blueprint for the Magic Tower.
...
Time ticked by, and the forces of Black Water, Heavenly Burial, and Pantheon inside Stone Forest Town continued their frenzied assault on the Obelisk.
"All MTs, clear a path! Healers, watch the healing! Assassins, sneak in! As long as we destroy the magic crystal atop the tower, we can leave here!" Qi Yitao had now joined the battle, commanding while fighting. "Whoever destroys that magic crystal on the tower gets one Epic-grade item!"
Wanshi Wushuang and Yi Xiao Du Zang both nodded at Qi Yitao's decision.
After all, they had obtained a full twenty-six items dropped by Lancelot, while Zero Wing's side had only gotten two. If trading just one Epic-grade item meant they could leave with the twenty-six drops, it was an extremely worthwhile deal no matter how you calculated it.
Upon hearing this, everyone fought with even more abandon.
In the current Divine Realm, as levels increased, high-quality weapons and equipment were becoming increasingly difficult to obtain. Dark-Gold weapons and equipment were already considered artifacts by ordinary players, let alone Epic-grade items.
Those could be called treasures that could change a person's destiny.
As elite members of their guilds, they dreamed day and night of obtaining just one Epic-grade item.
