Zero Wing's last resort — the Frost Grenades — had been exhausted. Although the Black God Legion was still rampaging across the battlefield, slaughtering the Star River Alliance's elite forces, they had now been pinned down by over five hundred expert players the Star River Alliance had mobilized.
Once the Black God Legion's burst period ended, Zero Wing's Black God Legion would be finished.
Even if Zero Wing deployed their main force of one hundred experts, the assassins from Seven Deadly Sins would arrive to block them. This war was practically over.
"Leng Qiu, tell the others to get ready. We're heading to the high ground that Dark Flame has occupied."
With victory and defeat all but decided, even Seven Deadly Sins — who had no desire to get involved in the war — would likely make their move soon.
Standing on the mountaintop observing the battle, Yuan Tiexin couldn't help but shake his head. For a newly established guild without backing to stand up against a major power in the Divine Realm — it wasn't entirely impossible after all. But Zero Wing had fought so well that even in defeat, they could hold their heads high.
"Uncle Yuan, doesn't the other side have the sixty-thousand-strong elite army that Snake of the Body brought?" Leng Qiu, who had been reviewing the data nearby, knew that Snake of the Body, led by the Ice Goddess Bai Qingxue, was no pushover. Moreover, Snake of the Body had several experts worth paying attention to.
The gap in elite numbers between both sides was no longer as wide as it had been at the start. The outcome shouldn't have been decided yet.
"If the Star River Alliance and Yi Xiao Qingcheng didn't have that hidden card, the outcome of this war would indeed be hard to call," Yuan Tiexin said, shaking his head with a smile.
"The Star River Alliance's hidden card?" Leng Qiu looked at Yuan Tiexin with great curiosity.
A battle involving over a hundred thousand elites — no ordinary hidden card could change the outcome. Yet Yuan Tiexin was completely certain, which only proved how formidable that card must be.
"I only heard about this from the Guild Master. Just a day ago, the Star River Alliance and Yi Xiao Qingcheng spent a massive price to purchase two Tier 3 Summoning Scrolls from a super guild," Yuan Tiexin said enviously. "Tier 3 Summoning Scrolls are extraordinarily rare in the Divine Realm and are tremendously helpful for capturing towns and large-scale guild wars. Even our Tianji Pavilion only managed to get our hands on a few after great difficulty — each one is a priceless treasure."
"A narrow battlefield like this isn't suitable for deploying too many people, but it's the perfect environment for Tier 3 creatures to display their advantage. A single Tier 3 creature could serve as both the ultimate shield and sword. With a Tier 3 creature as the spearhead and a large number of elite members in support, wiping out an elite army of several thousand would be easy — let alone with two of them. Without enough experts to pin them down, it would be nothing short of a massacre for the elite players. Zero Wing and Snake of the Body wouldn't stand a chance."
Hearing this, Leng Qiu and the others couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
Two Great Lords controlled by players — the power they could unleash was simply unimaginable. With the current player base, there was absolutely no way to deal with them except through sheer numbers in a human-wave tactic. But the required numbers would be terrifying, and for Zero Wing and Snake of the Body, who were already at a numerical disadvantage, this was a fatal trump card.
On the battlefield between Snake of the Body and the Star River Alliance, both sides were roughly evenly matched, with casualties split half and half.
"Since Zero Wing is practically finished, Zi Tong — deal the finishing blow to Snake of the Body," Xinghe Wangxi, who was commanding the battle, whispered secretly to Zi Tong.
There were two Tier 3 Summoning Scrolls. One was in Zi Tong's hands. The other was being held by Canglang Zhantian of Yi Xiao Qingcheng.
He couldn't do anything about the Tier 3 Summoning Scroll on Yi Xiao Qingcheng's side, but Zero Wing was already a lamb awaiting slaughter. He had no intention of burning through any more of the Star River Alliance's elite members.
"Understood." Zi Tong, fighting on the front lines, the corner of his mouth curling upward in excitement, pulled out the Tier 3 Summoning Scroll stored in his backpack. He opened the scroll and shouted, "Come forth, Mountain Giant!"
Instantly, a massive magical formation appeared in the center of the fiery battlefield.
