"This is... too insane!"
"What rank are those two Personal Guards exactly?"
As You Lan's two Personal Guards carved out a wide open space at the city gates, the various adventure team members and independent players on the scene were left completely dumbfounded.
The Holy Sculpture army before the gates had been weakened, but it was still far beyond what ordinary Tier 3 Personal Guards could handle—one wrong move and they'd be the ones taken out by those Holy Sculpture Annihilators.
Yet You Lan's two Personal Guards had effortlessly held back over ten thousand Holy Sculpture monsters at the gates, as if it were some kind of joke.
"Two Dark Gold-grade Personal Guards?"
Huan Yu stared at the two guards beside You Lan, her silver-gray eyes filled with shock.
Even a Tier 4 Legendary summoned beast would struggle to achieve what she was witnessing. The only explanation was that both of You Lan's guards were Dark Gold-grade—only Dark Gold-grade Personal Guards possessed the power to rival Tier 4 Legendary monsters.
In the Divine Realm, Dark Gold-grade Personal Guards were exceedingly rare—let alone that, even Gold-grade Personal Guards were exceptionally scarce, arguably rarer than Epic-tier weapons above level one hundred.
Even the Scarlet Emperor, a top-tier guild, currently had only six Gold-grade Personal Guards and not a single Dark Gold-grade one, testament to just how precious Dark Gold-grade guards truly were.
But You Lan, standing right there, actually had two…
How was anyone supposed to believe that?
However, Huan Yu didn't know that only one of You Lan's two Personal Guards was actually Dark Gold-grade—the other was merely Gold-grade. But thanks to the abilities of Silverwing Town's guardian hero, the Magic King Kaidy Teland, its combat power had been significantly boosted, granting it the strength to stand against Legendary-tier opponents.
But after a brief moment of silence, the expressions on the faces of Huan Yu, Undying War Heart, and the others didn't relax in the slightest—if anything, they grew even more somber.
The Holy Sculpture monsters surrounding the city walls had launched another assault, even more ferocious than before.
Hundreds of Holy Sculpture Annihilators roared in fury, combining their forces in a coordinated assault on You Lan and the others. The combined power of their joint technique was no weaker than a casual blow from a Tier 4 Legendary monster—in an instant, over twenty or thirty arcs of black light that tore through space closed in on You Lan and her allies from every direction.
Meanwhile, the Holy Sculpture monsters that had been trapped in the ravine collectively crawled out, coordinating with the army charging in from behind to launch yet another assault on Silverwing Town's magical barrier.
"As expected, two Dark Gold-grade Personal Guards alone can't change anything. The Holy Sculpture army's power is simply beyond what current players can contend with."
The members of the various superpowers watched the scene unfold, each one unable to help but sigh with resignation.
Dark Gold-grade Personal Guards were once-in-a-lifetime finds. Each one could perform far beyond the level of a same-tier Tier 4 Legendary monster on the battlefield—but that was only relative to players. Against the tide-like surge of the Holy Sculpture army, it was still just a drop in the bucket. After all, no matter how powerful a Tier 3 NPC was, it couldn't one-shot a same-tier High Lord, much less a Greater High Lord.
The Holy Sculpture army only needed to send a few hundred Annihilators to tie down a Dark Gold-grade Personal Guard with ease. And even if the guard managed to kill them all, Silverwing Town would likely have already been destroyed by then.
Outside Silverwing Town's walls, as the ferocious Holy Sculpture army launched yet another attack against the defensive magical barrier, silvery-white summoning magic circles lit up one after another along the outer walls. Figures emerged from the circles—more than three hundred in total.
In the next moment, countless bursts of fire, frost, lightning, and storms erupted beyond the walls.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
For a moment it was as if the entirety of Silverwing Town had been engulfed in a maelstrom of elemental fury. Countless Holy Sculpture monsters let out agonized wails, their screams echoing throughout the town.
"This… is impossible!"
The members of the various superpowers within Silverwing Town watched as countless Holy Sculpture monsters were sent flying through the air beyond the walls, their fists clenched tight, eyes wide with indescribable horror.
Because beyond Silverwing Town's walls, there were over three hundred Personal Guards—each one radiating a terrifying, bone-chilling aura that was clearly far beyond any ordinary Personal Guard.
At that moment, it wasn't just the superpower representatives watching through the magic water mirrors who were stunned—the adventure team members and independent players standing on the walls themselves had their jaws hanging open, unable to believe what they were seeing.
"This has to be a joke…"
Undying War Heart gazed at the three hundred-plus Personal Guards surrounding all of Silverwing Town, feeling as though he were trapped in a dream.
He wasn't unfamiliar with powerful Personal Guards at his level, but this many formidable guards gathered together was an absolute first in all his time in the Divine Realm.
While most of these Personal Guards were weaker than the two standing beside You Lan, they were still far beyond what ordinary Personal Guards could compare to—even the weakest among them gave him the impression of being an unstoppable force.
Standing nearby, Huan Yu looked down at the three hundred-plus Personal Guards below the wall, her silver-white eyes drifting involuntarily toward Shi Feng not far in front of her.
"Is this… his true trump card?"
Over three hundred Personal Guards that could match or even surpass Greater High Lords in power—that was a force even the five great super guilds probably couldn't muster.
One could say that with this single move alone, Silverwing Town had already become invincible.
It had to be understood that NPCs weren't comparable to players, and Personal Guards enjoyed a 10% bonus to their base attributes. Combined with the town's magical buff effects, they were far more formidable than ordinary Tier 3 NPC guards. One could even say that Silverwing Town's defenses at this moment surpassed those of the kingdom capitals' NPC cities.
After all, capital-level NPC city defense forces were composed primarily of Tier 2 NPCs, with very few Tier 3 NPCs among them. Their only advantage was slightly higher levels.
Right now, the Holy Sculpture army's numbers were vast—their Annihilators alone exceeded one hundred thousand—but Silverwing Town's Magic Tower attacks were anything but ordinary. If the Holy Sculpture army couldn't effectively breach the defensive magical barrier, they would simply be target practice for the Magic Tower and the various siege weapons, to be hit however the defenders pleased.
