Chapter 147 The Raid

Holy Guardian had always held on to Cologne, and the nearby cities didn't have any strong enemies, so they were relatively safe. No guild dared to attack Crux. Nirvana's Flame was strong enough, but it was surrounded by enemies on all sides and could barely take care of itself.

"Who triggered the magic alarm?" Holy Flame asked in the guild chat.

"It's Feng Yue. When she returned on her flying mount, she discovered an unidentified aerial cavalry force over Crux," a player immediately replied.

Holy Flame frowned. Aerial cavalry was often used by guilds as the vanguard of an attack. He didn't dare to be careless and immediately began mobilizing the troops inside Crux Fortress.

"Are there any hostile guild forces approaching Crux?"

"None have been detected so far."

"Expand the scope of reconnaissance. Everyone else, gather in the central plaza! Gather all the aerial cavalry, and prepare the anti-air magic cannons!" Holy Flame issued the order.

Under Holy Flame's mobilization, the entire fortress quickly went into operation.

"Come out and take a look with me," Holy Flame said to Kuangfa and the others.

Kuangfa and the others nodded. They were now considered members of Holy Guardian, although they were unwilling to be subordinate to Holy Guardian, there was nothing they could do.

As they were about to go outside, they suddenly heard three loud booms, and the ground shook violently.

Holy Flame's expression changed, and he asked in the guild chat, "What happened?" Could someone have already attacked Crux?

Not far from the Holy Guardian guild headquarters, Lei Su, Brilliant Dazzle, and Shui Se Yantou fell from the sky one after another, smashing into several shops and breaking through the roofs.

After advancing to Saint Swordsman and Divine Warriors, their physical strength had been greatly improved. The class talents of Saint Swordsmen and Divine Warriors were damage reduction, and ordinary fall damage was completely ineffective against them.

Lei Su landed steadily. The force of the fall caused his body to squat involuntarily. The bluestone ground laid by the shopkeeper under his feet had completely shattered into pieces.

Some players were shopping in the store. Seeing Lei Su suddenly fall from the sky, they stared at him in astonishment.

After stopping his downward momentum, Lei Su stood up, glanced at everyone in the store, and said in a deep voice, "Lei Su of Nirvana's Flame is here. Irrelevant players, leave. We only kill members of Holy Guardian!"

Lei Su's voice was like thunder, making the players' eardrums buzz. They looked at Lei Su, who was a head taller than them and was covered in heavy metal armor. The metal armor reflected dazzling metallic luster in the sunlight, like a tall heavenly god. They had to look up to him.

"It's actually someone from Nirvana's Flame!" The players were a little stunned. The people from Nirvana's Flame had already attacked Crux Fortress!

Bang, bang, two spells hit Lei Su, and two large "miss" floated above his head.

Lei Su looked towards the source of the spells. They were two mages, looking at him with bewildered expressions.

Lei Su snorted coldly, "Overestimating yourselves!" He swung his sword, and a crescent-shaped sword aura swept over. The two mages didn't have time to dodge and were swallowed by the sword aura, letting out two screams and turning into two white lights. The wall of the shop was cut into two pieces by the sword aura, and sunlight shone in through the gap.

There were no members of Holy Guardian here. Lei Su walked forward. A wall blocked his path. He punched out, and with a bang, rubble flew, and an exit collapsed in the wall. He walked towards the exit without any hindrance, leaving only a dozen players staring dumbfounded at his departing figure.

On the other side, Brilliant Dazzle and Shui Se Yantou walked over from where they were and joined up with Lei Su. Any Holy Guardian players they encountered on the street were undoubtedly killed. Corpses littered the streets they passed.

"Should we wait for Nie Yan and the others to come over?" Lei Su asked Brilliant Dazzle and Shui Se Yantou.

Brilliant Dazzle shook his head. "The Holy Guardian guild headquarters is nearby. Let's attack their guild headquarters!"

"We must have a good time killing today!" Shui Se Yantou said heroically.

Although Crux was Holy Guardian's main fortress, with as many as a million players active here, including more than 100,000 from Holy Guardian alone, they were scattered throughout the fortress. Most of them probably didn't know that Shui Se Yantou and the others had already attacked their lair. In such a large fortress, it was probably not easy for Holy Guardian to block them.

The alarm in Crux Fortress sounded again and again, piercing the sky. Most of the players in the fortress hadn't understood what was happening and were in chaos.

Just as Shui Se Yantou and the others were speaking, a group of about a hundred Holy Guardian players surged towards them from the end of the street.

"It's Nirvana's Flame! Everyone, block them!" A shield warrior holding a heavy shield at the front activated Charge and rushed towards Shui Se Yantou and the others. The warriors behind him followed suit, wanting to use their numbers to intercept Shui Se Yantou and the other two here.

Seeing the shield warrior rushing in front of them, Brilliant Dazzle roared and stepped forward, slamming the heavy shield in his left hand hard at the oncoming person.

A heavy pressure came over him. The shield warrior's heart tightened, and he quickly raised his shield to block. With a bang, the two heavy shields collided.

The heavy shield in the shield warrior's hand shattered instantly like tiles. A powerful force crashed over, causing his body to fly backward involuntarily.

Brilliant Dazzle took another step forward, and the one-handed sword in his right hand slashed down. A white light flashed, and the shield warrior was killed by his sword.

The Holy Guardian priest behind him was preparing to cast a heal on the shield warrior, but he realized that it was too late before he could finish chanting.

A level ninety-five shield warrior was killed just like that. The priest's eyes were somewhat dazed.

In Lei Su and the others' eyes, this group of players was like ants. There was an essential difference between top-tier classes and ordinary first-promotion classes. Due to the top-tier class talents, their defenses were more than twice as high as any warrior here. Ordinary players' attacks could only cause triple-digit damage to them at most, and they often missed. Each of them had at least fifty to sixty thousand health points, and the blood-bull-level Brilliant Dazzle had an astonishing eighty to ninety thousand health points. They were definitely genuine heavy tanks!

"Go back and tell Holy Flame, Grandpa Shui Se Yantou from Nirvana's Flame has come to collect debts!" Shui Se Yantou said in a deep voice. He swung his sword, and three warriors were knocked away. With a sudden charge, he knocked away two or three warriors and rushed into the crowd of mages behind them.

More than a dozen Holy Guardian mages panicked and tried to escape, but it was already too late.

Shui Se Yantou roared and cast Whirlwind Assault!

A powerful sword aura storm formed around Shui Se Yantou, and all of the dozen or so mages around him were instantly killed on the ground.

Shui Se Yantou, Lei Su, and Brilliant Dazzle's attacks were too fierce. As soon as they made contact, thirty percent of the hundred or so players had died and were fleeing in disarray, regretting that their parents hadn't given them two more legs.

Lei Su and the others chased and killed them for a while, then stopped. The ground was covered with corpses.

Lei Su glanced at the equipment dropped on the ground and asked, "Do you want these trash equipment?" Lei Su himself didn't care about these equipment at all, but the players below Nirvana's Flame might need them, so he asked Brilliant Dazzle and Shui Se Yantou.

"Pick up the good equipment. Don't take anything below Dark Gold-grade," Brilliant Dazzle said. They didn't have much time to pick up equipment, so they just needed to pick the good ones.

In just over ten minutes, Lei Su and the others had already rushed outside the Holy Guardian guild headquarters.

The Holy Guardian guild headquarters' gate was tightly closed. The gate was as high as five yards, all made of metal, and covered with iron nails, looking solemn and imposing.

Lei Su walked straight to the gate, gathering a powerful energy in his fist. He roared and punched out fiercely, slamming into the gate. A surge of surging energy poured from all parts of his body towards his right fist.

This was a technique Lei Su had learned from Nie Yan, which allowed the energy of his whole body to flow smoothly. In comparison, as a Saint Swordsman with a strength talent, he could use such skills to be much more terrifying than Nie Yan.

With a loud bang, the gate shattered into pieces and collapsed. The three of them rushed into the Holy Guardian guild headquarters together.

At this time, Nie Yan and the others also landed from the sky in various ways and entered Crux Fortress.

Tang Yao and Lusting After Youth became excited as soon as they entered the fortress. For them, Crux was the battlefield where they could gallop freely.

"Holy Guardian brats, fear, wail, and tremble! Your Grandpa Harrier is here!" Tang Yao laughed loudly. He waved his staff, and black flames fell from the sky, bombarding the players in the distance. A series of miserable screams immediately rang out a hundred yards away.

Hearing Tang Yao imitating the lines of the Boss in the dungeon made Nie Yan and the others couldn't help but smile.

Discovering that Nie Yan and the others had appeared in the fortress, the Holy Guardian players gathered in groups and flocked towards Nie Yan and the others, trying to intercept them.

Lusting After Youth let out two heavy syllables in his throat, and a thick pillar of lightning fell from the sky, instantly flattening two buildings and a hundred or so players in the distance with a bang.

Nie Yan jumped up and climbed onto a building that was dozens of yards high, overlooking the entire fortress, checking the situation of the entire Crux Fortress. His eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past in an alley five or six hundred yards away.

Nie Yan's eyes narrowed sharply. He was all too familiar with that figure. It was Holy Flame, the leader of Holy Guardian!
