"We did it!"
"We succeeded!"
The group watched as the Orc Overlord and the Orc General suddenly ceased their attacks and crashed thunderously to the ground, unable to contain their joyful cheers.
It had been far too difficult.
Fighting two Legendary Orcs at the same time — if
Even though the Legendary Orcs' HP had been nearly depleted, their attacks had already reached their peak. Getting close was simply impossible. They could barely even keep up their defenses, and if Shi Feng hadn't activated his Void Shield, they would have long since been engulfed by the flying slashes of blade light.
"They're finally dead." Shi Feng let out a long breath of relief.
Though he had only dropped his guard for a brief moment, the Legendary Orcs' attacks were simply too devastating. In that short span, his Void Shield had already lost more than half its integrity. Without the Void Shield's protection, he would have been shredded by the blade light long before he could kill the Orc Overlord and the Orc General.
With the deaths of the Orc Overlord and the Orc General, everyone's experience points began to surge wildly. Even Shi Feng, a Level 60 player, saw his experience climbing steadily.
36%... 50%... 80%...
In the blink of an eye, he leaped from Level 60 to Level 61, finally settling at Level 61 with 7% experience. The rest of the group gained even more — most of them leveled up twice in a row, and members below Level 50 jumped a full three levels. The speed of leveling left everyone frozen in shock.
Beyond the generous experience points, the Orc Overlord and the Orc General had also dropped a massive haul of items scattered across the ground — over a hundred pieces in total. While it wasn't exactly a jackpot drop, for Legendary monsters above Level 50, the loot was still very generous.
Just as everyone turned their attention to the items, system notification after system notification chimed in their ears.
Star Moon Kingdom System Announcement: Congratulations to
The system broadcast echoed across the entire Star Moon Kingdom region three times in succession, the announcement ringing in every player's ears.
"You're kidding!"
"Weren't they saying the Orc army at Mystic Forest Town was unstoppable? How did Zero Wing pull this off?"
"Impossible! I just came back from there — that was an army of several million Orcs, with siege weapons and Legendary Orcs too. Zero Wing must have cheated."
……
The official forums erupted over the sudden news. No one could believe it was real.
They had seen the hellish battlefield from the uploaded videos. Forget about Zero Wing — even if every elite player in the entire Star Moon Kingdom had banded together, it was questionable whether they could hold the line. This wasn't something current players could possibly stop. And yet a single guild had done it. It sounded like a joke.
"What happened? What did Zero Wing do back then?" Xinghe Wangxi, resting in the Star Moon Kingdom capital, stared at the system announcement, unable to recover from his shock for a long time.
No one understood the situation at Mystic Forest Town better than he did. By the time they had left, the town had been on the brink of collapse, liable to fall at any moment. Yet not long after they departed, Zero Wing had actually held it.
An army of several million Orcs!
Even slaughtering several million pigs wouldn't go that fast, let alone an army of several million buffed Orcs led by three Legendary Orc Generals. In that time, the Orc army should have razed Mystic Forest Town to the ground. With Zero Wing's thousand people, just getting through the kill count alone would have taken forever.
"Guild Master, I've already sent people to investigate, but based on initial reports from the field, no one actually saw what happened at Mystic Forest Town. All we know is that Zero Wing seems to have stayed at the town the entire time. The spy we planted has gone dark — looks like he died, and we'll have to wait for him to respawn." Liu Qianqian stood nearby, equally bewildered.
