Stone Forest Town.
Under Shi Feng's summons, Zero Wing's main force and the Black God Legion quickly gathered in the guild hall.
"I hear the Star River Alliance has rounded up quite a few experts this time. Looks like we'll finally get a good fight." Berserker Jianying ran his fingers over his tier-one weapon, Breath of the Gale, his eyes blazing with battle intent.
Nearby, Ke Le, Ye Wumian, Yidao Chengfeng, Feiying, Beifeng Diaodi, and Banjiu all nodded in agreement.
Ever since Zero Wing's main force had been targeted by the Seven Sin Blossoms, these core members had been following Shi Feng's orders and spending all their time in the God and Devil Arena to continuously improve.
Their levels hadn't risen much, but their skill level had improved dramatically.
Especially with the aid of the Hundred Fruit Brew, their skill completion rates had been advancing by leaps and bounds.
Previously, only Fire Dance, Ziyan Liuyun, and Waterless Rose could consistently exceed an eighty-five percent skill completion rate, but now they could manage it too.
Their technique still fell short of Fire Dance and the others, but with their tier-three gems and top-tier equipment, the Seven Sin Blossoms wouldn't find it easy to take them down.
After everyone had waited a while, Shi Feng used a guild scroll to teleport directly into the guild hall, and every person straightened up with reverence.
"Waterless, are the caster squads all set?" Shi Feng looked toward Waterless Rose and asked.
He had received more intelligence on the Star River Alliance from Bai Qingxue. With merely ten thousand selected elite members, there was no way they could stand against an army of over a hundred thousand elites. To hold back so many elite troops, their only hope was the Nine Star Extreme Domain, a mid-tier magic formation.
Maintaining the magic formation required as much mana from caster-class players as possible, which was precisely why he had Waterless Rose specifically select caster players who had focused on stacking Intelligence.
"Everything's arranged—nine players per squad, just as you said. Twenty squads in total, and each person is carrying a good number of Concealment Scrolls and Invisibility Potions," Waterless Rose reported.
"Good. Hand these out to them—one per person, and there are no extras." Shi Feng pulled the freshly crafted Nine Star Extreme Domain magic scrolls from his bag.
Whether it was the Concealment Scrolls or the Invisibility Potions, their effects would vanish the moment the user entered combat.
Still, they were excellent tools for ambushes and sneak attacks.
"Guild Master, I've brought everything you asked for." At that moment, Youyu Weixiao arrived out of breath.
"Good. Distribute them now. Main force and Black God Legion—ten High-grade Frost Grenades per person, one hundred Mid-grade Frost Grenades each. Main force members get two extra Flash Bombs. Elite members participating in the battle get ten Mid-grade Frost Grenades each." Shi Feng nodded and issued his orders.
Flash Bombs were easy for engineers to craft and didn't share a cooldown with the Frost Grenades, making them essential tools for large-scale PvP. However, Shi Feng had only obtained a single blueprint, so even with mid-tier engineers crafting nonstop, they had barely managed to produce just over two hundred—enough only for the main force members.
Shi Feng made it sound simple, but when the others heard the details, their hearts trembled.
They had used Frost Grenades before—they were stockpiled guild war supplies, rare items sold only in Black Wing City. But at present, only Waterless Rose and Youyu Weixiao, whom Shi Feng had personally informed, knew the location.
A single Mid-grade Frost Grenade was effective against monsters (and players) below level seventy. It dealt eight hundred points of frost damage within a twelve-yard radius, froze targets for five seconds, and applied a sixty percent slow for twelve seconds. Each one was worth ten silver coins.
A single High-grade Frost Grenade was effective against monsters (and players) below level one hundred and twenty. It dealt two thousand points of frost damage within a fifteen-yard radius, froze targets for five seconds, applied a sixty percent slow for twelve seconds, and each one was worth seventy silver coins.
Although these items' effects were halved against players, they still made a significant difference in player combat—the only drawback was that they were far too expensive.
