More than six hundred PK experts who had been roaming the wilds were instantly reduced to ashes. The entire ground transformed into scorching magma, leaving the dark players who had been preparing to charge frozen in their tracks, staring at the scene before them in disbelief.
"Damn it! What the hell is that?!"
Watching half their companions obliterated in an instant — before they even had a chance to dodge — the dark players on the scene were filled with terror.
It wasn't that they had never seen siege weapons before, but this level of power and speed completely exceeded anything they had ever known.
Even with tower attacks, the Tier 2 players present would have felt confident dodging from five hundred yards away, let alone speed-type classes.
Yet now, at roughly eight hundred yards, by the time they even reacted, the orbs of light had already come crashing down — leaving them absolutely nowhere to hide.
As for the destructive power, that went without saying. It was absolutely terrifying, easily rivaling a large-scale Tier 3 destructive spell. Even Tier 2 main tanks activating their survival skills couldn't withstand this kind of magical bombardment — unless they had long-duration magic immunity or invincibility, death was a certainty.
It felt as though they were standing inside the attack range of a Magic Tower…
Inside the Dark Witch Tower, the dark players who had been enjoying the show could no longer keep smiling. They stared fixedly at the six Hell Chariots, a trace of fear flickering in their eyes.
Standing atop the watchtower, Shen Yin's brows were tightly knit.
This power and speed were too terrifying. Expert players were nothing but ants before these attacks. The Hell Chariots were essentially mobile Magic Towers.
"How does Zero Wing have such powerful siege weapons?!"
"We're done for! We don't have any siege weapons at all — how are we supposed to deal with that thing?!"
"What's there to be afraid of? We don't have siege weapons, but the Dark Witch Tower does, and it has defensive magic arrays too. As long as those things dare to come close, the NPC-operated turrets will turn them into scrap metal in no time. Besides, with that much destructive power, the cooldown has to be enormous. Once our people get close, not only will Zero Wing be finished, but those siege weapons will become live targets for us."
Although many were intimidated by the Hellfire shots fired from the Hell Chariots, plenty of battle-hardened veterans quickly calmed down and began analyzing the chariots' weaknesses and possible countermeasures.
The dark players who had already charged halfway soon came to understand the situation as well. Rather than retreating immediately, they pressed forward with their charge, trying to close the distance to the Hell Chariots as quickly as possible.
They had never used siege weapons themselves, but the weaknesses of such weapons were obvious — they couldn't let players get close. Just like the small crossbow carts they had seen in Ancient Rock City, they looked devastating, but a player could destroy one with just a few attacks up close.
In an instant, the remaining thousand-plus dark players charged frantically toward the Hell Chariots, determined to destroy them before their skill cooldowns ended.
"Guild Master, they're charging us! Shouldn't we set up a defensive line?"
Watching the dark players drawing closer and closer, the Zero Wing elite members who had been holding their position were growing uneasy. The power of the Hell Chariots had shown them a chance at victory — as long as they properly defended the chariots, they could absolutely defeat these dark players.
But now the dark players were less than two hundred yards away, and Shi Feng still hadn't issued the order to defend. If those dark players reached close combat range, things would get ugly.
"No. Let them come." Shi Feng waved his hand, signaling the entire army to hold their ground.
The Zero Wing members had no choice but to obey Shi Feng's command. They stood in place, quietly watching as the dark players drew closer.
Two hundred yards…
One hundred and fifty yards…
One hundred yards…
"Brothers, we're almost on top of those siege weapons! Once we destroy them, we've got this in the bag! The second we're within range, every ranged attacker goes all out on those weapons!"
