Chapter 691: Storm and Tempest!

Magic Iron Thicket was an area that was less likely to have any players wandering around as it was crowded with high-level monsters. The monsters here were all Earth Elemental Gifted Creatures which were armed with extremely strong defense that made them difficult to handle. Such a rough area was already well known in the Mythical Continent.

Normally, only Champions or newbies that were power leveled by Champions would mention Magic Iron Thicket.

This area saw various kinds of tough monsters. Some of them were shielded with gold scales which made them looked like very hard to kill, and some were muscular iron oxen and iron rhinos. All these were high level creatures.

In short, they were all very difficult to kill…

Since few players would come to Magic Iron Thicket, this area was always very quiet, except for certain parties that wanted to farm for Pet Eggs or Terramancer’s equipment.

No one, however, had ever considered taking down the boss in Magic Iron Thicket.

But today was different!

A strong party appeared in Magic Iron Thicket. It was a party that consisted of numerous Bowmasters, Elementalists, Bandits, Warriors, Berserkers, Radiant Priests, and Summoners. They had all decided to raid into this area.

If there were other players in this area right now, they would quickly realize that there was something different with this party, as if something wasn’t right

Black Emperor!

Robot Corps!

Golden Blood Lions!

“…”

The party’s leaders were all the Angel Faction’s Champions. They were all either Field Commanders or Executive members in their respective Leagues!

The players in this party all sported murderous eyes and were searching for their prey in the thicket. Once they had found their prey, they would outflank the target immediately. The creatures that were known to be the hardest to kill in the Mythical Continent would also disappear instantly if they were targeted by this particular party.

Since the party had Field Commanders from various Leagues working together, this became their competitive advantage.

No matter which direction the monsters came from, they were killed immediately by the party. The party was unstoppable and proceeded through the thicket like a raging tempest.

“Look! Our Golden Blood Lion’s Field Commander, Golden Fort is so strong. He is known as the Steel Berserker that is as strong as Judge. He would always tank the monsters without a problem!”

Many people nearby disliked the person who said this and started complaining to their own people: “High HP and good equipment are necessary for a Steel Berserker. There is nothing special to show off. We the Black Emperors are strong in attack. No matter how tanky you are, without good attackers, you would be useless too. Look at our Elementalists. They have strong AoE attacks that could kill so many monsters without so much as a problem.”

“…”

“Bunch of morons without any composure. Don’t they know that the most important thing in this game is dominance?” Members from the Robot Corps scorned the people that were arguing just now.

“They only rely on strong equipment and their attacks alone. Why won’t they just go play other online games!”

“Hahaha, this comment is so cruel.”

However, all these comments were made only within their own League’s channel. The players in Magic Iron Thicket were all very conservative and did not dare speak publicly.

When someone made noise unintentionally, the others would immediately warn that person!

The party hurried on with their progression with the leader at the party’s frontline.

“…”

The closer they got to their destination, the more intense they became. The party’s leader’s expressions were getting more serious too. After all, the enemy they were about to face wasn’t an easy target.

To outsiders, their operation this time was a secret.

Within their ranks, the leaders only told their underlings they were going to kill all the bosses in Magic Iron Thicket for the sake of the Berserker’s equipment.

The cooperation with other Leagues this time was only due to the Alliance. They planned to capture this place to make it a Pet Egg farming area in the future.

Until now, none of the underlings doubted this operation…

However, they walked passed the bosses in Magic Iron Thicket many times without engaging them. Some members from the party started to have some doubts.

“This road… it looks like Black Flame Valley!”

The Fallen Angels League’s farming point, Black Flame Steeds, were all from this area!

“Boss!”

Judging from the route they walked through and the destination they reached, a few people discovered something. One member then took a deep breath and asked the Field Commander, “Boss, don’t tell me we are going to mess with the Fallen Angels this time?!”

“What? Are you scared?”

“You can head back if you scared.”

The party was silent for a few seconds. After a while, they started displaying an excited expression!

Since Hall of the Exalted had collapsed, there were occasional fights within the Angel Faction. However, these fights were not as big as a League war.

The operation this time obviously showed that they had already planned this for a long time…

The participants in this operation were all excited when they knew they were going to face the Fallen Angels!

However, at the same time, they were worried as well.

The Fallen Angel’s power was not that simple to handle.

When the wanted order was executed, some high-ranking members of the Fallen Angels had already fled to the Underworld under from the lure of four billion gold coins. However, the players who stayed were still very strong. Some were even the Field Commander’s champions.

In terms of equipment, the Fallen Angels always had the upper hand when compared to the other Leagues!

Besides, the three Monster Legions they were building were getting stronger over time. Some people in the official forum had leaked out that the Monster Legion’s power was much stronger than before!

The new Leagues were indeed strong when they cooperated, but against the Fallen Angels, their chances to win was a low one!

What’s more, the Fallen Angels League had the support of Hall of Heroes, Scarlet Dynasty, Black Jail, and Netherspirit’s Claw!

The combined power from these five Leagues was hard to handle, especially for new Leagues.

Furthermore, there were many high-ranking members in Black Flame Valley right now. If the new Leagues’ ambush did not end quickly this time, the area would become chaotic when the Fallen Angels started to retaliate. The consequences would be unimaginable if the Fallen Angels’ Summoners started to get reinforcements into this area.

“…”

When numerous members raised this question, the leaders responded with confidence and said, “Don’t worry!”

“If not for our knowledge that Hall of Heroes, Scarlet Dynasty and Black Jail League were carrying out Project Pioneer in the Underworld right now, we would not dare mess with the Fallen Angels too.”

As expected, the controversy between the few new Leagues was not because of some impulsive decision. Within the five Leagues Alliance, three Leagues were participating in Project Pioneer. They obviously did not have enough manpower to provide backup.

After all, the project involved six billion gold coins!

If war was ignited, the most possible League that could reinforce the Fallen Angels was only Netherspirit’s Claw. Based on the caliber of a new League’s, they would not be able to handle all five Leagues at the same time, but they were quite confident in handling both the Fallen Angels and Netherspirit’s Claw.

With such a plan, they were obviously satisfied. This was unless the Fallen Angels were angered by them and started a war with them…

Currently, the order from Mercenary Guild was still in effect. It was hard to say if the Fallen Angels dared proceed with their original plan.

However, the new Leagues who now worked together had already formulated their perfect plan…

If the Fallen Angels chose to restrain themselves from fighting back, the war this time would cause the Fallen Angels to have at least three thousand of their people losing their Level and equipment.

This would be bad for the Fallen Angels reputation…

Besides, the Fallen Angels growth would be stunted if the three farming spots in Black Flame Valley were taken away from them.

In short… the plan that the new Leagues had come up with this time seemed to be flawless.

If everything went smoothly, the Fallen Angels reputation would begin to fade away with time!

If the Fallen Angels chose to fight back… they would face the consequences like how Hall of the Exalted did, or maybe even worse!

“…”

When the news was spread among the party, thousands of people who joined the raid had already gone through Magic Iron Thicket and had reached Black Flame Valley…

They stood by quietly inside the thicket.

Golden Blood Lion’s Deputy League Master walked to the group of Elementalists and whispered to them in a low tone, “Remember, get to your positions when you see the signal. If anyone flees from there, kill them!”

“If the Fallen Angel’s people come here, kill them all!”

There were fifty Elementalists with high damage guarding the only path in and out over here. Their powers were even sufficient to kill a Demigod Champion…

The other two League’s commanders gathered their respective troops and pointed to Black Flame Valley’s peak.

“Guard this point with all that you’ve got. When we get inside, don’t let anyone flee from this area!”

“Roger!”

The Summoners quietly left the Magic Iron Thicket and headed towards the Black Flame Valley’s peak…

Those who followed behind the Summoner’s Legion were all Champions from different classes.

At this moment, people from the Fallen Angels were still farming Black Flame Steeds for their own teams. Suddenly, a shadow spread across Black Flame Valley and shrouded everyone in the Fallen Angels.
