Chapter 146 The Encirclement

The moment Big Bro Seven used Light Radiance to reveal the three thieves, Tang Yao and the others waved their staffs, instantly controlling them. No matter how skilled the thieves were, they couldn't withstand the successive control spells from Tang Yao, Xia Chongyu Bing, Unkillable Scoundrel, and the others. One magic attack after another bombarded the three thieves, sending them flying.

This process was completed in an instant. Broken Bone Blade and the others, hiding in the shadows, were shocked. This group was a bunch of killing gods; their attacks were lethal.

Just as some of the Niuren Tribe players were preparing to use their return scrolls, waves of water-like magical currents swept towards them, hitting them. Damage numbers of one point floated above their heads, but these insignificant points of damage interrupted all of their return scrolls.

"There, a thief!" A player below pointed to the distant dense forest. A thief hidden in the bushes came into the players' view.

The thief was none other than Broken Bone Blade. He used a Scroll of Gusting Winds to interrupt the Niuren Tribe players' return.

"Take him down, don't let him run!"

Tang Yao, Xia Chongyu Bing, and the others waved their staffs, launching spells towards Broken Bone Blade.

Broken Bone Blade was clearly prepared. As Tang Yao and the others waved their staffs, he used a Leap and then Gale Step, disappearing from their sight.

In that instant, groups of players from the Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians poured out of the surrounding dense forest, numbering about a thousand. They had all arrived via arcane mages' portals, surrounding the Niuren Tribe players from all directions. And their numbers were still increasing.

"We're surrounded!" Shui Se Yanto said in a low voice. The Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians had clearly come prepared.

"You think this trash can surround us? We'll fight our way out!" Tang Yao said. He waved his staff, sending spells flying towards the players.

At this moment, the thieves from the Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians took out scroll after scroll, unleashing them on the Niuren Tribe players. The Mage Alliance was famous for its scrolls. They had spent a lot of effort cultivating a large number of high-level mages proficient in scroll creation, and they took time to create scrolls whenever they had the chance, resulting in a much larger accumulation of scrolls than other guilds. In addition to their own scrolls, they had also purchased many from various scroll shops. They had spared no effort in dealing with the Niuren Tribe players.

For this operation, Kuang Fa had invested over three hundred thousand gold coins in scrolls alone.

"Brothers, the Niuren Tribe won't last long. Kill them all!" Kuang Fa shouted arrogantly, standing on a high slope in his dark red mage robe, directing the players below.

Over a hundred and twenty thieves simultaneously threw out Advanced Spider Web scrolls, and large nets descended from the sky, like a net from heaven.

Tang Yao and the others quickly used fire magic, and the fire spells that shot out burned away many spider webs, but some spider webs still covered some of the Niuren Tribe players, immobilizing them.

Surrounded by people from the Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians, the Niuren Tribe players had nowhere to escape.

Both sides began exchanging magic, and players fell from time to time.

Tang Yao, Unkillable Scoundrel, Essence of Evil, and others waved their staffs, sending one Mage Alliance or Sacred Guardian player after another flying, but even more came.

"Where's Mad Rogue Nie Yan? If you have the guts, come out! I don't believe you can still defy the heavens now!" Kuang Fa laughed wildly on the high slope.

In terms of losses, because many Niuren Tribe players were trapped by spider webs, the losses were significant. More than thirty were killed by the dense magic.

However, the Niuren Tribe players showed enough morale. Even at a disadvantage, they were still fierce as tigers, taking down at least seventy Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardian players. However, the Niuren Tribe suffered greater losses. Those who died on the Niuren Tribe side were all top-tier elites. Pulling out any one of them would at least rank in the top hundred in the Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardian guilds. Many could easily break into the top fifty, even the top ten.

Seeing the Niuren Tribe players fall one after another, Kuang Fa clenched his fist. With today's results, he could ask the Century Financial Group for more investment and earn a large sum. With the Century Financial Group's funding, three hundred thousand gold coins were just pocket change. In addition to the Century Financial Group's rewards, the Niuren Tribe, which had suffered heavy losses, would definitely not dare to accumulate contribution points as frantically as before. They could rightfully seize the Hilton Fortress's land.

The melee continued. The Mage Alliance was determined to fight to the death with Brilliant Cutlass and the others, so they threw out scrolls as if they were free.

Scrolls of Mental Shock, Scrolls of Entangling Vines, Scrolls of Area-of-Effect Magic... they used everything they could.

"Cutlass, we can't hold on, the losses are huge," Big Bro Seven said in the group chat.

Seeing the players below fall one after another, Brilliant Cutlass was also heartbroken. These people were the backbone of the Niuren Tribe!

Brilliant Cutlass shouted, "Everyone, follow me and fight our way out!" Brilliant Cutlass used Bull Strength on himself and drank a bottle of Advanced Magic Resistance Potion, taking the lead and charging out.

Brilliant Cutlass rammed into three Mage Alliance players, sending them flying.

Brilliant Cutlass, who was at the front, immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding Mage Alliance players. The firepower of fifty or sixty mages instantly focused on him, but these mages were depressed to find that they could only inflict double-digit damage on Brilliant Cutlass, and even critical hits were only a little over a hundred.

There were too many people in the Mage Alliance, and the firepower was too dense, so Brilliant Cutlass's health was about to run out in a short time.

Big Bro Seven, Shi Li Huasha, and others behind him threw healing spells on Brilliant Cutlass, quickly restoring his health to full. His health was constantly fluctuating, but because Big Bro Seven and Shi Li Huasha healed him in time, Brilliant Cutlass was safe, though narrowly so.

Supported by holy light, Brilliant Cutlass charged into the Mage Alliance's mages, killing one with each sword strike, decisively and neatly. How could these mages' fragile cloth armor withstand Brilliant Cutlass, who was wearing top-quality equipment!

Shui Se Yanto, Hei Bai, Wu Feng, and others closely followed behind Brilliant Cutlass, charging towards the north, leaving piles of corpses from the Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians along the way!

The warriors of the Mage Alliance and Sacred Guardians launched charges one after another, and the Niuren Tribe players were scattered, each fighting on their own, making the scene even more chaotic. Because the people on both sides were fighting together, neither side dared to use area-of-effect magic, which would accidentally injure their own people.

Both sides were basically fighting to attrition. Niuren Tribe players could often take on three enemies, and stronger ones could even take on five. People like Brilliant Cutlass and Shui Se Yanto were almost invincible. Their equipment and skills were far superior to ordinary players!

In fact, the deadliest was not Brilliant Cutlass and the others, but Tang Yao. Tang Yao was like a turret, casting spells one after another. Basically, no player, not even warriors, could withstand a single hit from him. Tang Yao's Arcane Sprite was already level four. In an era filled with top-tier professions above level one hundred, Arcane Sprites were still rare treasures, providing extremely high magic bonuses. Therefore, Tang Yao at this time was like a god. Several warriors charged in, wanting to kill Tang Yao, but were knocked down by his magic.

Kuang Fa, on the high slope, was overlooking the crowd. He was satisfied with the state of the battle. The Niuren Tribe was known as invincible. He had deeply felt the combat power of the Niuren Tribe players during the Battle of Cripps, but in the blink of an eye, they had already killed more than a hundred of them. Although they had suffered more than five hundred losses for this, it was already a very brilliant result.

He looked down and frowned when he saw Brilliant Cutlass, Tang Yao, and others charging and killing their way through. These guys were too fierce. These few people alone had killed more than sixty of their men, accounting for more than 10% of the losses.

"Damn, Boiling Water, block them, don't let them run. We'll make a profit if they drop just one piece of equipment!" Kuang Fa commanded in the team chat.

"Understood, boss. That Tang Yao has a flying mount. Should we take him down first?"

Flying mounts were too powerful. If Tang Yao found time to summon his flying mount, they would be in trouble.

"No, let him summon it. Even if there's no time, create an opportunity for him!" Kuang Fa said with a sinister smile. If they could take down Tang Yao's flying mount, this operation would be a huge profit.

Although they were puzzled as to why Kuang Fa would issue such an order, as players below, they would just do as they were told.

Just as Kuang Fa was complacent, suddenly, a flash of cold light passed behind him. Kuang Fa was shocked. A thief! He had been distracted just now. By the time he reacted, it was too late. As a mage, he didn't have many ways to avoid thieves. In this situation, there was no time to cast magic. Disregarding his image, he rolled to the side in a fluster.

There was a clanging sound, the sound of two daggers colliding.

When Kuang Fa turned around, a graceful figure appeared in his sight. It was One Hammer to Settle the Deal! Such a sexy and charming beauty was like a rose with thorns, full of danger. The person who saved him was Broken Bone Blade, who had escaped earlier. It was Broken Bone Blade's timely appearance that saved Kuang Fa's life.

Broken Bone Blade had barely managed to block One Hammer to Settle the Deal's attack for Kuang Fa, allowing Kuang Fa to escape, but he didn't expect One Hammer to Settle the Deal to change her move at the last moment, stabbing a dagger into his forehead, putting him in a daze.
