On the watchtower of the Dark Witch Tower, a large group of dark players had gathered, each one staring at
"No way... are they seriously trying to attack the Dark Witch Tower?"
"They've lost their minds! This is the Dark Witch Tower! Hundreds of NPCs guard this place, and there are defensive turrets and arrow towers. With just a thousand people, they wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between our teeth!"
The dark players on the watchtower watched as Shi Feng's forces prepared their assault and couldn't help but laugh.
Although the Dark Witch Tower was only a small town, its defenses were complete — not only were there defensive structures, but also a defensive magic array protecting it. Forget about a thousand people; even an elite army of ten thousand would be walking to their deaths here, let alone these powerful dark players who were also present.
To truly destroy this stronghold, even a superpower would have to pay a devastating price.
That was why even the major superpowers had chosen to turn a blind eye to these dark strongholds, leaving them completely alone.
"Hmm, looking at their guild emblems, they seem to be from
"They probably went to the wrong place," a Level 56 Assassin beside him chuckled. "But it's even better that they're here. The Black Water Guild's bounty on Zero Wing is quite generous — it's usually hard to find a chance to kill their members, but now we have our opportunity. We have over three thousand people here at the Dark Witch Tower. Wiping out this thousand-man group will be a piece of cake. We absolutely cannot let the NPCs finish them off before we get our turn."
The dark players present didn't take Zero Wing's appearance at all seriously. They were all itching to make a move.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuan and Shen Yin had also arrived outside the walls of the Dark Witch Tower, quietly observing Zero Wing's thousand-man legion. There was a hint of surprise in their eyes.
This thousand-man legion was merely at the standard of Zero Wing's ordinary elite forces. Apart from the hundred or so people wearing black cloaks, not a single person in the group was Second-Tier. And from the way those hundred or so people moved, she could tell they weren't fighters at all — in fact, they were even worse than the regular Zero Wing elites...
"Sister Shen Yin, is Zero Wing courting death? They dare come attack the Dark Witch Tower with this level of team composition? They don't even need us to deal with them — just the players resting here could wipe them out entirely." A Level 57 Second-Tier Berserker glanced at Zero Wing's team and curled his lip in disdain.
Because they'd received word that Zero Wing might attack the Dark Witch Tower, they'd been sent over to help with the defense.
But Zero Wing's thousand-man legion was truly disappointing. Forget about attacking the Dark Witch Tower — they couldn't even serve as a diversion to draw attention away from Ancient Rock City.
Shen Yin fell silent.
She couldn't understand what Zero Wing was trying to do.
"Quite disappointing indeed. I originally wanted to let Zero Wing experience just how terrifying we, the Evil God's Apostles, can be. But at this level, it's really not worth my effort. Let the dark players handle them," Chen Yuan shook his head.
"Agreed. Since that's the case, there's no reason for us to stay. The fighting at Ancient Rock City is intensifying — if we head over now, we should be able to join the ambush against Zero Wing's main army." Shen Yin agreed with Chen Yuan's assessment. Whether it was her Shadow's Claw or Chen Yuan's forces, both had their own trump cards and wouldn't reveal them casually. If this were Zero Wing's thousand-man expert squad, it might have been worth the effort. But a thousand-man ordinary elite squad? That would be a complete waste.
Just as Shen Yin and the others were about to turn and leave, the dark players inside the Dark Witch Tower sprang into action. Over two thousand of them charged out of the small town without a second word, heading straight for Zero Wing's forces, with absolutely no intention of forming any kind of formation.
In battles involving over a thousand people, these dark players had fought many times in the Beastman Empire — they were more than familiar with it. If Zero Wing's group had contained many powerful experts, they might have been more cautious. But against mere elite-level players, they couldn't have cared less.
