Chapter 765 Casualties (Seeking Recommendations!)
Nie Yan's movements in shooting down Holy Flame were exceptionally decisive, leaving the priests behind him no time to react.
"Damn, the boss is down! Everyone, block Mad Rogue Nie Yan!"
The players of Sacred Guardian tried to intercept Nie Yan from all directions, but they still couldn't catch him.
Nie Yan only appeared for a brief moment, less than a second each time. He would suddenly appear without warning, pull the trigger, and then immediately enter stealth mode, vanishing in the blink of an eye. Even if Nie Yan appeared right in front of them, they wouldn't have time to react.
"We can't block him, should we leave?" the arcane mage asked. Staying here would only make them targets for Nie Yan.
"If we leave, we'll become a laughingstock, accused of deserting the battlefield," Bloodthirsty Mad Blade said.
"But it's better than dying!" the arcane mage said anxiously. Just as he finished speaking, five arrows flew from behind his head.
The arcane mage quickly teleported, dodging the arrows. But as soon as his feet touched the ground, several more arrows pierced through his back, creating a bloody spray. A powerful force sent the arcane mage flying, and he collapsed on the ground.
Seeing the arcane mage fall, Bloodthirsty Mad Blade cursed under his breath. Only he and Breaking Sky remained on the field. Unable to use random teleport scrolls or return scrolls, what was originally intended to trap Nie Yan and his group had become a self-imposed cage.
"Second one down." Nie Yan, in stealth, revealed a cold smile. His gaze locked onto Bloodthirsty Mad Blade and Breaking Sky in the center of the players. "Next, it's your turn."
The news of Holy Flame's death quickly spread, causing another uproar on the forums.
"Mad Rogue Nie Yan really killed Holy Flame?"
"The news came from Sacred Guardian, it's confirmed!"
Not long after they received this news, another message arrived: the arcane mage was also dead.
Players clicked on the post Nie Yan had made earlier. It had already been modified. An "X" had been placed after the names of Holy Flame and the arcane mage, indicating their deaths. Only the original poster could modify their own posts. Nie Yan, while hunting Holy Flame and the arcane mage, even had time to modify the post. Hunting Holy Flame and the others was as easy as reaching into a pocket for Nie Yan. Shadow Dancers were indeed extraordinary!
Before long, they acquired more information. Holy Flame and the others were killed by Nie Yan with a crossbow. A thief's ranged attacks were so powerful, completely exceeding players' imaginations.
"The post has been modified again!"
Only a few minutes later, after the names of Holy Flame and the arcane mage, "X"s appeared after Bloodthirsty Mad Blade, Breaking Sky, and several other members of Sacred Guardian. Nie Yan was fulfilling his prophecy at an alarming rate. Those named by Nie Yan had died in droves within half an hour.
Players couldn't help but lament that Sacred Guardian was no match for the Ni Ren Guild. So many people, yet they couldn't take down Mad Rogue Nie Yan.
At this moment, Nie Yan, standing in the square, looked around. Most of those he had named from Sacred Guardian were already dead. He put away the Headless Horseman Doro's Riding Crossbow and swept towards the edge of the square.
Under the assault of two flying mounts, the Golden Earth Dragon was beginning to falter. Countless spells bombarded the Golden Earth Dragon, reducing its health to less than 20%.
The Wind Serpent and Thunderhawk were locked in a fierce struggle with the Golden Earth Dragon, not giving it any chance to attack.
Nie Yan activated Gale Step, sweeping across the square and pouncing towards the Wind Serpent in the distance.
Riding the Wind Serpent was a mage, who was controlling it as it swooped down from the sky. With a loud bang, the Wind Serpent's giant tail slammed into the Golden Earth Dragon, staggering it.
"This Golden Earth Dragon has way too much health!" the mage exclaimed. He had never seen such a fierce pet before. Its combat power was comparable to a flying mount, and it knew a whole bunch of spells and passive skills. How did Mad Rogue Nie Yan raise it?
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a chill run down his back. He was shocked. What was going on?
Before the mage could react, Nie Yan suddenly appeared behind him. With a Throat Cut, the sharp Zennarde's Sword slashed across his throat. The mage was instantly killed.
Sensing that its master had been killed, the Wind Serpent began to writhe violently, trying to throw Nie Yan off.
Nie Yan raised Zennarde's Sword and stabbed it fiercely into the Wind Serpent's neck. With a soft thud, Zennarde's Sword disappeared into its hilt.
Sever!
Nie Yan used Zennarde's Sword to slash open the Wind Serpent's back, tearing a huge wound. A thick column of blood spurted out, and the Wind Serpent let out a shrill scream. The more it struggled, the larger the wound became.
Seeing that the Wind Serpent was about to die, the paladin riding the Thunderhawk beside it realized the situation was bad. Seeing Nie Yan on the Wind Serpent, he was scared out of his wits. In his opinion, he was no match for Nie Yan. Without even trying, he turned the Thunderhawk around and fled.
"So you think you can run?" A murderous glint flashed in Nie Yan's eyes. He stretched out his left hand and shot a web, sticking it to the Thunderhawk's back. With a sharp tug, his body soared into the air, covering a distance of fifty or sixty yards, and landed on the Thunderhawk's back.
As soon as Nie Yan steadied himself, he pounced forward, swinging Zennarde's Sword down and killing the paladin with one strike. He followed up with a Spine Break on the Thunderhawk's back. The level eighteen Spine Break skill caused Zennarde's Sword to glow red with flames. With a crack, the Thunderhawk's spine was broken, and it let out a miserable wail, plummeting from the sky and crashing heavily to the ground.
Several Sacred Guardian players below were unable to dodge and were crushed by the Thunderhawk's massive body. Before they could even make a sound, they turned into white light.
Nie Yan stood on the Thunderhawk's corpse and looked at the square. The Sacred Guardian players, looking at the murderous Nie Yan, actually forgot to attack and retreated backward.
Nie Yan opened Divine Hire and summoned Paladin Leves.
Paladin Leves waved the greatsword in his hand and cast a few heals on the Golden Earth Dragon, restoring its health to full.
The Golden Earth Dragon strode forward and charged towards the crowd in the square.
A one-sided massacre began.
The entire Crook was a chaotic battlefield. Casualties among Sacred Guardian players rapidly increased. Brilliant Knife Light, Lei Su, and Watery Rose broke into some of the arrow towers, collapsing five of them. The five magic classes in the team used their area-of-effect magic to frantically slaughter enemies, expanding the results.
Holy Flame and the others resurrected in the graveyard.
Holy Flame anxiously asked in the guild chat, "What's the situation in Crook?"
"Boss, we've already lost over ten thousand brothers! Their magic is too strong."
"Damn, what about the flying mounts?" Holy Flame cursed in frustration. Faced with Nie Yan and the other twelve people, they felt helpless.
"Five have been killed."
Holy Flame's heart sank. Even the air cavalry was no match for Nie Yan and his team. How did they do it? He said in a deep voice, "Send me the videos!"
After a while, Holy Flame received a set of videos. Nie Yan killed two air cavalry with astonishing speed. Looking at other areas, a griffin was attacking Watery Rose when Watery Rose dodged and pierced it through the abdomen with a greatsword, before Lei Su and Brilliant Knife Light jointly bombarded it to death. Another wyvern was ambushed by Black Hell, Desire Impinges Youth, and Harrier, being bound by Black Hell's Shadow Shackles skill and falling from the sky, before being bombarded to death by Desire Impinges Youth and Harrier's magic. Yet another Venomous Dragon Fly was shot down by Xie Yao and Big Boss Qi Zai's magic.
These guys are too damn abnormal!
Even though Crook Fortress had full defense activated, with Nie Yan and his group's strength, how could they be trapped!
"Damn it, use the cannons to bombard them! We have to kill them!" Holy Flame roared.
"The cannons will hurt our own people!"
"I don't care!"
"Boss, Angelic Overlord's Angel of Pride is here, with a total of twenty-plus people. He wants us to cooperate with them," a player messaged Holy Flame.
"Listen to Angel of Pride!"
"Yes!"
Nie Yan wreaked havoc in Crook, and the Sacred Guardian players began to hide inside the arrow towers, cannon towers, and other city defenses, using city defense cannons and heavy crossbows to attack Nie Yan and his group. Boom, boom, boom, each shell that landed caused Crook to tremble violently.
"Everyone, be careful not to get hit by the cannons," Nie Yan reminded them in the team chat. If they were directly hit by something like a cannon, even Brilliant Knife Light and Watery Rose wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Crook was filled with flying shrapnel. Screaming sounds pierced the sky, and the ground shook violently, making it almost impossible to stand.
"Nie Yan, Lei Su and Brilliant Knife Light are down," Watery Rose said heavily in the team chat.
Receiving Watery Rose's message, Nie Yan's heart sank, and he asked, "What happened?"
With the strength of Lei Su and Brilliant Knife Light, who could kill them!
"It was Angel of Pride! We were ambushed," Watery Rose said. When they were attacking an arrow tower, they fell into an ambush by Angel of Pride and his group. Angel of Pride came prepared, having several archmages use barriers to trap the three of them. If not for Lei Su and Brilliant Knife Light covering their escape, even he wouldn't have been able to get out.
"That guy!" Nie Yan's expression turned cold. The people from Angelic Overlord had also arrived. Angel of Pride himself had already transferred to a top-tier class. With so many elite members of Angelic Overlord above level one hundred, if they used their advantage to launch a surprise attack, they could indeed ambush Lei Su and Brilliant Knife Light.
Nie Yan heavily punched a stone wall beside him, filled with regret. In this battle for Crook, there were beginning to be casualties.
