When Lie Feng Zhuihun asked this, the Beast Emperor couldn't help but look toward the Black Water Guild and the Dark players watching from outside the city.
Now that Zero Wing Guild had begun to slowly retreat, the ones who had originally been planning to ambush the Black Water Guild and the Dark players also began to stir restlessly.
Although Zero Wing could put up quite a defense with their mobile defensive magic array, it was only capable of withstanding Tier 3 attacks. If a Tier 4 attack were used, it would exceed the array's tolerance limit and easily shatter it.
Though the five Legendary Evil Beasts were being held in check by the Sacred Demon Dragons, he still had two Legendary Demons on his side that hadn't been deployed yet.
The Beast Emperor glanced back at the numerous damaged buildings behind him, his gaze growing cold.
His heart felt like it was bleeding.
Though these were only basic structures, they were important buildings the Demonic God Temple used to train and raise its evil demons and evil beasts. With so many destroyed, it would certainly cost him a great deal of contribution points to repair them — and Zero Wing Guild would simply brush themselves off and walk away.
"What a guild Zero Wing is — first they feinted toward one place while attacking the Dark Witch Tower, and now they want to leave in peace. Do they really think this is their own home?" The Beast Emperor fixed his cold gaze on Shui Se Qiangwei and the others as they retreated, smiling icily. "Deploy the Legendary Demons and all the High Overlord-level evil demons. Have Elder Wilmy strike at Zero Wing. I want Black Flame to understand just how foolish a decision it was to send a hundred thousand troops to feint an attack on Ancient Rock City!"
As the Demonic God Temple, an entity that struck fear across the entire Beastman Empire, if word got out that Zero Wing could attack Ancient Rock City and then leave unscathed, it would become the laughingstock of the entire empire. He had no intention of holding back.
This wasn't just for Zero Wing's benefit — it was a demonstration for every faction present, to show them the absolute power of the Demonic God Temple.
"You really want to use Elder Wilmy?" Lie Feng Zhuihun drew in a sharp breath upon hearing this. He hadn't expected them to deploy the Tier 4 Legendary NPC Elder Wilmy from the Demonic God Temple.
Elder Wilmy was the strongest trump card they could deploy in Ancient Rock City — a one-time opportunity they had fought hard to obtain, originally intended for use against Silver Wing Town. He hadn't expected it to be used now.
"Of course. I want Black Flame to know just how laughably foolish it was to send a hundred thousand troops against Ancient Rock City — and that even the Secret Stone Fortress he fought so hard to hold will go to waste." A hint of madness flickered in the Beast Emperor's eyes.
Though he hadn't wanted to use Elder Wilmy and ruin the original plan, if he could annihilate Zero Wing's hundred-thousand-strong army, it would be an incredibly heavy blow to the guild — and it might even cause the superpowers who had been about to give up on dealing with Zero Wing to take action again.
After all, without a hundred thousand elite troops, the major superpowers would only need to pay a slightly higher price in the field to very likely drive Zero Wing out for good.
"Yes!"
Lie Feng Zhuihun licked the corner of his lips and immediately sprang into action. He could hardly wait to see the expressions on Zero Wing's faces when they plummeted from the bliss of victory into the abyss of hell.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield outside Ancient Rock City, the Black Water Guild watched quietly from a distance.
"Team Leader Xue Hen, Zero Wing has already started retreating. When do we move?"
"Exactly! This is a great chance for our Sky Eagle Legion to show the Vice President what we can do!"
"If you ask me, there's no need to wait for them to wear each other down. We should just charge in and wipe out Zero Wing's people. It's just a defensive magic array — they've been fighting it for so long and still haven't managed to break through."
……
The twenty-odd players resting behind the Tier 2 Berserker Xue Hen were growing impatient.
If Feng Qianyu had been here and seen these people, she would have been shocked — not just because they were all Level 56+ Tier 2 players, but also because they were among the most renowned top-tier experts in the Iron Empire. These experts had originally been either famous free players in the Iron Empire, chief experts in first-rate guilds, or even Dark players.
These people were household names in the Iron Empire. Each of them possessed combat power that left first-rate guilds helpless, along with special abilities that gave even superpowers headaches.
Yet here were more than twenty of them gathered together — how could anyone not be shocked?
"Let's wait a bit first. Something should be happening at Ancient Rock City soon. If not, it won't be too late for us to act." Xue Hen glanced at the restless crowd and smiled.
Honestly, he felt somewhat helpless about this bunch.
Each of these people ran wild in the Iron Empire with no one able to rein them in. A few of them even rivaled him in strength — when they truly went berserk, he had no confidence he could suppress them. If anyone could fully control them, it would only be the Vice President.
